Looks good. 👍 One word of caution if you live in an area that gets a lot of snow: notch the top of the posts for the headers, rather than relying on the screws/nails to hold the header to the posts. You want the load on the post more than the hardware.

if you have lap siding on the existing building would you saw cut it off where you want the ledger board to be so that it stays flush against the top sill plates? My garage is a separate building with no soffit because the roof doesn't extend beyond the walls. So should I shimmy some flashing under the shingles and over the top of the ledger board? Looking for some advice thanks.

I found the lumber you get today is not all the same size, rafters could be anywhere from 11/4 to 1 5/8 thick and 2x6 51/4 to 5 5/8 causing waving up and down across your rafters. I install the rafters with a string line and then install the Simpson strong ties to make the roof even. Don’t put your ties up first unless you measure each rafter to make sure it’s all the same size. Oh yeah, I pre drill all my tin first. Stack them all together make sure they all are even, mark where the holes go and drill your first two holes , one on each side and put two screws to hold everything and then drill the rest.

Quick question. I’m building a lean to behind my shed. I’m moving our chicken run and coop back there. My roof is basically 10’x10’. I got 2x4’s for the rafters. Are 2x4’s going to be okay instead of 2x6’s? The actual measurement from the high side to low side is actually less than 10’ and slightly more than 9’. The width will span 10’ though

that is a VERY light duty shed! I was worried my attempt at a cheapish on was too light weight. The way you fastened upper ends of back rafters is scary to me! all good for you but...maybe not for instructional video? With 10' between posts I would have used a 2x4 top plate [ perhaps doubled ] and a total of 4 2 x 6 rafters , 1 over each post. Then use 10' 2 x4's cut slightly to fit down between rafters with hangers at 2' o.c. spacing to use as the girts/nailers. I bet it would be lighter, cheaper and at least as strong. Not bashing you - just might help others.

Just a suggestion... the title to this video is a bit misleading, I feel like something like "Kinda showing how to build a lean to" or maybe "Explaining how to build lean to but skipping over 1/2 to 3/4 build" I like your demeanor and the way you communicate, but it went from one 2x6 attached to the house, and snap your fingers, the next scene is the entire frame basically 90% done. I'm assuming you were doing this solo so couldn't really record the best, but next time ask friend to help you out. Looks nice though, well done on the construction.
