1st critical mistake.... Screws cannot handle the shear force that nails can. That is why framers use nail guns and not screw guns....

Came here to say that. Screws have great tinsel strength but no shear strength. That's why nails are predominant in framing. Outdoor rated screws have some shear strength but not comparable to nails.

@normbograham Ай бұрын

before building codes, or people were really aware of how things were done in other parts of the country, one place did not use bird mouth. They nailed a 2x4 on the outside of the studs, and a 2x4 on the inside of the 2x4, and the two were butted against the roof rafters, and nailed at both locations, basically locking the rafter from flying off. That gave two connections to the rafter. No roof ever blew off, etc. So, funny enough, now, we do things by code, and somewhat the same across the country. But the old method, gives you a 2x4 width to extend below the deck of the shed. And also if you looked at train stations, you'd find that lots were built this way, with an outside extended overhang.

@krisallen9194 3 ай бұрын

Using Nails are cheaper,faster, and stronger (unless you used structural screws) but harder to correct any mistakes. Felt paper and house wrap would have been best practice. Also, PVC facia would last longer. However, it’s your shed and everything you did was perfect for a shed. I enjoyed the video ….looks great.

For any leftover "J" channel, buy a cheap 2x2 box fan and put a channel on either side. Pick up a filter about 24" x 24" and you have a very effective air filter for the shop. I put mine in the middle of the shop, set to high, put on a mask, then use the air compressor to blow the dust off of the lights and horizontal surfaces. After 10 minutes take the fan outside and blow the dust off of the filter and you are ready for the next clean up. Yes, I have a good dust collection system but I still end up with dust in the shop.

It's a preference thing for me.

@chio987 11 ай бұрын

I've always understood it not as a preference and more that screws for framing are simply wrong, but I'm not a framer so I only figure its correct since nails have alot more flexibility and don't shear off or snap like s screw does so nails will allow some movement. I also understand this is just a shed but why wasn't a house wrap like Tyvex (understandably less important) or a roofing tar paper used?
