At the 3 minute mark I was saying 15 inches on center for my joists. I meant 16 inches!!

I watched this back and realized around the 3 minute mark I was saying "15 inches on center" for my joists. I meant "16 inches on center"... I guess that's the problem with editing at 2AM :(

I liked how you built the floor system and how you added in the ridgid foam for insulation, which was genius! Well done, Sir!
-
Thank You for sharing. I've been debating on whether to build myself or buy one already built. Looking forward to the next video.
-
Great video, thanks for putting it together, very helpful.

Hello from Nebraska, thanks for this. Going to replace a 10x10 Menard's shed kit built in 1997 on piers with your style of foundation and pad area. Looking forward to your shed build.

Dude thank you so much! I’m literally doing a 10 x 16 ft shed and somehow I found this video because I would’ve done it completely wrong 🤣🤣 i now want to do almost exactly this. Thanks so much

Here is a tip about cull lumber at home depot. If you go through the stack of good lumber and find boards you legitimately think could be deemed cull lumber, separate them out and bring them to the attention of an employee. Most of the time they will go ahead and mark them as cull for you. I've done this several times, sometimes they actually thank ME for saving THEM time since I did the work.

This has been super timely as I’m currently building a shed. Thanks for the great resource!

Cannot wait for the next steps for your Shed Build! We are doing exactly the same here in Wisconsin.

very nice. excellent instructions.
-
Thanks bud!! Helped me a lot

You explained well and are easy to follow. I subscribed to your channel to learn more in the future. Thank you very much.

Keep up with these videos. You go through it very well and you don’t stay on one thing for too long which is great. Thank you for these videos

Looks good! For my climate (Maine) I would want probably 3-4x the insulation you specced out!
-
Great video. Only thing I would add to save with clean up is you can just score and snap that insulation. 👍
-
Great video. Not conventional building practices but it'll do for what you're planning to use it. I'd of recommended stapling metal mesh screening (hardware cloth) across the open ends of your 4x4's to keep critters (racoons, skunks, etc...) from building dens under the building.

How do you not have one million views? So well explained. Following your videos to build my tiny 12x16 studio.

I would definitely paint that floor with white marine grade paint before I erected any walls.
-
Great idea with the off-cut bin. ONe suggestion I'd make for others, since there is open space under the floor, I'd go with some type of sheathing under the insulation, because critters are going to find it and start chewing on the open foam. Those little rascals will chew on the wood too, but this way you might get some notice.

Pretty sure you need an air gap for the foil faced foam to work... I think you gain an extra R value with the heat reflecting off the foil but it needs a 1 inch air gap in order to work... I could be wrong, but I think I remember the last time i installed some having to deal with that, even so its only 1R your gaining not a huge issue.
