get go we just finished our said here's how we did it okay so the first thing you think is you can just buy a tough shed and then have it brought in and we did think about that option first you guys think of size about 10 foot by 20 foot is what you can get away with in most homeowners associations so you want to stay right under that and so that you can stay and not have to do any permits or anything like that so if you get a big tough shed like that's at least $5,000 $6,000 and then you probably have to pay a thousand dollars for them to bring it in yeah so that's kind of a dumb way to go you can hire a handyman or construction foreman to come and build it on-site for cheaper yeah or you can build it yourself so for about a 10-foot by 20 foot shed you have to buy siding and studs and roofing when you add it all up it's probably about $1,800 of materials from Home Depot or Lowe's and then we paid our friend that's a contractor about 2800 to build it with that materials as well or is that just labor that was labor and materials okay so you pay you know about 800 bucks or so for the labor or you can do the labor yourself you can make the decision but we're going to tell you all about the things you need to do if you're gonna build it yourself all right here's the shed from the outside you can choose to do it on a slab like we did it or you could do it on just compacted earth and then build it wood deck either way you'd have to pay someone to either compact it or pay someone to lay the concrete so we made a sidewalk go up to it then we did a four inch pad and standard house siding whether you're building or you're hiring the guy to do it you know you want to use 2x4 studs make sure you use red heads to attach it to the slab we did 16 on center studs a lot of people use 18 on Center studs and that's not as a overall sturdy our contractor built his own trusses that saves money too if you're not buying trusses from a trust manufacturer you can also hire the contractor to build shelving and things but then your shelves aren't exactly the height you want like we built them exactly perfect to our storage containers perfect to our table and chairs that's one thing to point out if you're gonna have them build it you can't make them exactly where you want them it's really easy to build the shelves when you have to buy four walls you can screw your two by four shelves right into the two by four walls really easily so when we were building our custom shelves we knew we just wanted to have variation because we knew we might want to change things around and we didn't want everything to be the same height and then get stuck into like maybe not having exactly what we want so we just started basically in the corner and started building our first shelf we knew we wanted to put outdoorsy stuff right here in our chairs and tables I just started putting it in sections according to usage so this is a lot of our outside things that we don't use actually very often we just kind of continue to pack stuff out until we got over to our tools we put our tools here in the front because we knew that was what we were gonna come in and use the most and Kevin had the idea to do this kind of sliding pegboard so this is something that would have cost more money to have somebody do and so it was nice for us to kind of finish the shed ourselves with our own little customizations you bought some closet rod slider cut it attach it to the pegboard we also did have to add this little lip here so that it wouldn't slide forward but then yeah we just finished up with lots more bins and labeling and we even did like a little area for little scraps of wood and you can see we still have a ton more space so we stopped at this point because we decided we could do an extra shelf up here and we really just had this whole section behind here we still haven't built the shelves or back here slide right now ten foot by twenty foot shed is really huge it's been surprising for us we thought we would fill this entire thing and it's been plenty of space for us I think our walkway in the middle is like three feet probably right and I'm really glad we put the little window over there so that we can have more light oh that's something we so go to Lowe's or Home Depot before you're building Sodor towards the beginning and just see whatever clearance window that they have that someone brought back you know you can get oh yeah $100 window like we got for 50 bucks all right so let's go over the total cost of the shed the concrete pad costs us about $800 and then the actual building of the shed including the materials was about 2,800 2,800 because we paid him to do the materials and the labor so if you did it yourself you could probably do it for about 2,000 you know you buy the materials yourself and then finally we just did the rest of the shelves ourselves and then we did the painting ourselves which is pretty minimal and the roofing was the last thing that we did oh yeah how much money was the roofing we did just regular single asphalt so it probably cost us a hundred and fifty or something what do you think I like that we paid somebody I know it may seem a little bit pricey but in the end it was only like a thousand more dollars for us to pay somebody for the labor I'm glad that we always split up the work a little bit we never do the entire thing ourselves all right guys I think that that's it good luck with your shed building we'll see you later so the beginning thing here is to me just caught it back up see that edge of the roof yeah okay so this got it out again see the edge of the dough I do just what I put it right there just like just hold it right there got it okay okay so the first thing just it keeps moving no it can't go okay the first thing there you go go
