Workshop Ceiling Insulation R19 Batts - Build a 20x30 Workshop SethCraft Workshop 2023-12-29 | Insulating the shop ceiling is very important for several reasons. It makes the shop more comfortable with temperature but also helps to reduce moisture buildup. I am using R-19 fiberglass insulation with craft backing. Staples are used to attach the insulation to the 24" on center roof trusses. On the eves I am using Styrofoam baffles. These foam channels allow air to flow from the vented soffits to the ridge cap. This pulls how air from the lower part of the roof to the upper part and takes moisture with it. #workhsop #insulation #buildashop SethCraft is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com

Installing Hardie Board Concrete Exterior Siding - Build a 20x30 Workshop SethCraft Workshop 2023-11-11 | I am building a 20x30 shop and its time to install the exterior siding. The siding that I have selected to use is Called James Hardie Board siding. This is a concrete based siding that has a very long life expectancy. Because it is a cement based siding it is very heavy and can break when dropped. Spiral shank nails are typically used to install the siding for a finished smooth look. I am using torx head screws because they are easier to install and hold well. Seems are often covered with batton strips. There are several methods of cutting the siding. I am using a jig saw with carbide tip balde. Other methods are circular saw, angle grinder, and razer blad scoring.

This product is easy to cut and does not rot as easily as wood. It comes in many sizes. The Z bar is a metal channel designed to take water away from the trim.

Full Window install 20x30 Workshop build SethCraft Workshop 2023-10-27 | I install a basic window into the 20x30 workshop. For this install I use a new construction window. I cut the tyvek home wrap in a special way that allows for the window sill to be covered completely. A layer of flashing is used on the sill ontop of the tyvek. I place a bead of caulk around the open window and seat the window into place. Lots of screws are used to hold the window in place. I dont use caulk on the bottom of the window so that water could escape if it ever go to that point. Flashing is installed on the sides of the window and lastly on the top to keep all water out.

Soffit Fascia and Gable OSB Build a 20x30 Workshop SethCraft Workshop 2023-10-14 | As I am building a 20x30 shop I need to install fascia and soffit. The fascia covers the sub fascia on the edges of the roof. This both makes the building look nice but also works to keep weather away from the building. The soffit is a board that goes up under the eves to keep bugs and birds out and still allows the attic space to breathe. I also get the gable ends sheathed with osb and tyvek.

Roof OSB Sheathing and Underlayment Build a 20x30 Workshop SethCraft Workshop 2023-10-06 | I am installing OSB sheathing on a 20x30 workshop roof. I prefer OSB over plywood because it is less costly and has guide lines to help with attachment. In this install I am using 2" torx screws to lock the OSB to the trusses. After I install the OSB I use a plastic underlayment designed to prevent water from getting to the OSB or into the building if the metal roof were to fail. This is a task that can be done alone but it is much easier to work with two.

Roof Ladder Blocking and Sub-fascia - Build a 20x30 Workshop SethCraft Workshop 2023-09-30 | After the roof trusses have been installed its time to work on the sub fascia and the eve blocking. The eve blocking is also known as roof ladders. The gable end trusses are 3.5" lower than the other trusses. This allows the ladder blocking to connect to the last full size truss and extend over the eve. I also install sub fascia to the end of the trusses. This will give me an attachment point to connect the fascia. Lastly I connect each of the trusses with a 2x4 to ensure that the roof system is secure and strong.

Setting 16 Trusses Alone - Build a 20x30 Workshop SethCraft Workshop 2023-09-22 | Time to install the roof trusses on this 20x30 workshop. I ordered the trusses from a local company and had them delivered for $1700. I am happy enough with that cost so I dont have to build them myself. Installing these trusses alone was a challenge. I started off with the gable end trusses. This are 3.5" shorter than the other 14 that go in the middle. To keep these from falling off the other end of the building I install some braces made from 2x4 and osb. When setting the middle trusses I install a cross support board that catches the previouse truss. I use a strong tie product called H1 clip to connect the trusses to the top plate of the bulding. I like these a lot. very strong connection.

Simple Method to Cut Out OSB Windows SethCraft Workshop 2023-09-16 | This is, in my opinion, the best way to cut windows out of OSB. A simple and accurate method using four screws and a straight edge to draw the window boarder on the outside of the window. Then a circular saw makes the cuts along this line. This method is quick and easy to repeat with as many windows as you have. #shop #workshop #buildashop SethCraft is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com
Wall OSB Sheathing and Tyvek House Wrap [Build a Workshop] SethCraft Workshop 2023-09-09 | Placing OSB on the exterior walls of your shop can greatly increase the strength of the building and helps to give a surface to attach the wall siding. I am using 1/2" OSB on my walls. Each stud behind the OSB is getting screws to make sure that the building is strong. After all the sheathing has been installed I install Tyvek Home Wrap. This is a material that repels water droplets while allowing vapor to escape. Tyvek tape is used on seams and gaps to adhere the sections of tyvek together. Nails are acceptable to install the OSB but I like to use screws.

How to Build a Basic Window Wall - 20x30 Shop build SethCraft Workshop 2023-08-11 | I am building a 20x30 shop and its time to frame a window. This is a very basic 24x36 inch window. The rough opening allows for 1/2" extra on each side so the window can be adjusted as need be. To frame a window you need two king studs along the side of the window. Next you need two Jack studs that go from the bottom plate to the window sill. Jack studs go along the window to hold up the top double header. This double header is comprised of two 2x4's sandwiched together. Lastly the Jack studs continue up to the top plate.SethCraft is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com

Shop Moisture Barrier 6mil plastic [Stop Ground Moisture from getting to your shed] SethCraft Workshop 2023-07-08 | A moisture barrier placed on the ground can greatly reduce moisture from getting to the floor of your shed or shop. I am using a 6 mil black plastic nailed to the skids of my shop to prevent unwanted water from reaching the underside of my floor. Years ago I build a shed without moisture barrier and had a mold problem. After adding the protection I dont have that issue anymore. Plastic cap nails are a great way to keep this type plastic in place.

Cap Block and Skids for a big workshop build SethCraft Workshop 2023-07-01 | I am building a 20x30 shop and its time to install the cap block and Skids. Leveling The skids took over 5 hours. I start with the highest block and level the other 34 skids based on this starting point. 2x4's and roof shingles are used to make sure the skids are level to one another. Lastly I connect the 5 rows of skids together with 2x4s to ensure that they are all lined up together.

Concrete Footers Guide Lines for a 20x30 Shop Build SethCraft Workshop 2023-06-20 | Before digging and pouring concrete footers for a 20x20 shop I need to setup guide lines. These string lines will keep a straight line to keep the five rows of footers in line with each other. I am going to be using 4x8 cap block on top of the footers so I have a little wiggle room but its nice to have string guides to keep the footers as close to right as I can.

Installing Batter Boards with String Line [Shop Foundation] SethCraft Workshop 2023-06-16 | I am building a 20x30 shop and its time to break ground. Batter Boards are used to find the corners of a building and to find level. I am using some old deck boards ripped down to make stakes. You can use any board you have laying around or you can buy them specially made for this project. Batter Boards are placed out so that 3 legs are driven into the ground and horizontal boards are connected level from those. Start on the highest location and move down to the lowest spot. A string level can be used or a laser level to make sure all battery boards are at the same height. The spot where the strings cross is the location of the building corner.
