You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans youtube.com/post/UgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg… , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).

More of this type of videos educating the clients, recalibrating their expectations, ARE NEEDED. THANK YOU !!!

Never “bored” with any of your videos Kyle. Always very informative and well-spoken to be in-depth but not overwhelming material content. Keep up these kinds of informative style videos as it helps us gain knowledge from a true “honest” builder. And let’s not forget what Greg brings to the videos as well. You both are hilarious.

Great info, Kyle. Thanks for finally sitting down and doing this topic. I would love to see a video of pre-build lead up…how you plan a build, material list, how you know what lengths of metal to order to limit waste, etc.

I've been watching you for a year or two. I wasn't bored. I think this was a good summary of who you are. What you build. What a new comer can learn about on your channel. Great job ... Now go finish that barndominium

I appreciated the video very much. I've been a carpenter for 44 years. Framed somewhere between 400 to 500 homes. And now I run a very high end carpentry business. I have a huge respect for you and have learned so much. I'm tired of driving into Arlington or DC to work over 50 miles each way. I want to build my own shop, then help 2 friends build theirs and then start doing it as a business out in the country where I live. Thanks very much, Sincerely Paul Spangenberg

One important piece I'd like to add that pertains to post frame homes. There are a lot of questions about the lending and bank approval. The most important thing when going to your lender is to say you're building a HOUSE, not barndo, not shouse, don't start off with anything pertaining to post frame or a "barn"

Five years of university and not one prof had my attention for 27 minutes straight like you did. Great information, great video, straight to the point and I suspect grate feedback from this video.

I'm from another country and I still found this video informative. Thank you!

Hey Kyle, I've been watching you channel for a while now and I wanted to say I am inspired by you and RR buildings. I started a handyman business in March this year and it has gone really well, I'm working on getting my contractor's liscense by studying to pass the NASCLA exam. One day I hope to build awesome post frame buildings like you do. That is my dream. And I'm glad that you are on youtube passing on your knowledge, I have no background in construction I'm 23 and have worked retail the last 6 years and if it wasn't for people like you on youtube passing on what you have learned I wouldn't be here. Thank you.

I completely understand that a lot of YouTube creators are hesitant to do what they think is boring vids. Your fans asked for it and you delivered. Also you have great build series. I catch myself watching from start to finish on lunch break and what have you. I’m a builder fabricated and I still watch these. Knowing some material already. More often than not you show a little trick or a detail that’s is completely awesome. I’ve been planning my own build and I’m gonna do a post frame slash timber frame Barndominium and a lot of your info has been crucial. Thanks again for making these videos. Great job and keep up the good work.

This book is awesome if you're thinking of making some cool stuff for your garden. youtube.com/post/UgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1E… It has tons of plans for all kinds of things, like storage sheds, picnic tables, single garage plans, dog kennels, and garden swings. I'm hooked on this book forever. Thanks, Ryan! There's so much content in these Shed Plans. It's amazing! For long-term service, it seems like it's worth spending a bit more money. Ryan, you're so generous to share all this info with us, and at such a low price.

Kyle love all your videos. I'm hoping to move on a Homestead. Years ago I actually renovated my house. I took everything down to bare stud. When I get my homestead I feel comfortable doing building projects. My mom asked me how I learned all this stuff. My reply was this old house. But I truly can say I have learned a lot from your channel.

Just so you know... it is NOT a waste of time nor boring. While I enjoy your builds and I learn tons watching them, the nuts-n-bolts of getting TO the build are just as important. I had already figured out a several of your points, but your insight has given me even more to consider before deciding on a design, a size and a builder. The only thing I would have added to your first point is to consider zoning constraints if the building is to be lived in. Super important to be sure the locality will ALLOW it before putting the building up and beginning that DIY tiny home inside. So THANK YOU for the video and don't be afraid to share more insight in the future. I greatly appreciate your humility and reasoning when it comes to giving advice. We ALL should be able to admit we don't know everything and I continue to learn EVERY day of my life.

Kyle you show that you take pride in your work, and do whatever it takes to give your client a high quality build. I wish videos like this were available when I had my house built many years ago. It would have saved me a lot of headaches. Great video Kyle.

this is the BEST video i have ever seen when looking for building information. consise, quick but not too fast, incredibly detailed, no horrible music to distract - beautiful in all ways. wow. i thank you for this info. i DO need it right now and thank you for not babbling on about all the stuff you have! in my opinion and that of others this has been shared with, you could not have done a more superior job. NOT boring. WONDERFUL. EXCELLENT. Thank you again.

Kyle, great video! My wife and I are in the process of buying land and looking to build. Honestly the post frame/barndominium style is just something I’ve considered. Your videos, by far, have the most valuable content on the internet. I learn something every time I watch!

Great video and very timely for me Kyle, thank you. I'm the one person you helped by making this video. I'm planning on putting up a 40x60 next spring. I think I'm going to have to do most of it myself but what you said about foundations and plumbing and everything else made a lot of sense. You might have changed my thinking and decision process a bit. Thanks for this video and all the others you have made, excellent material!
