Hi, I'm Tim Carter and it's July 4th, 2012 and I'm really pretty excited
0:06
We're actually going to start the project probably tomorrow and I wanted to show you
0:11
I wanted to give you a progress report. I think you're really going to like this. First of all, here I am wearing the official Ask the Builder DIY Shed Project t-shirt
0:22
Look at this. Pretty nice, huh? I thought you'd like that. and I'm going to take you on a little tour right now. I want to show you what we're doing
0:33
what we've got done, and I think you're going to like it. I'm also going to explain something to
0:39
you about the videos that I'm getting ready to produce. I think it'll make sense to you. So look at this. All right, so here we are. Here's the stack of framing lumber
0:47
It's been here for a while. I've got it. I uncovered it so that you could see it
0:51
Over there is the blue dow insulation that is going to be the insulation for the floor of the shed
1:01
Because once you see how we build it, you're not going to have a chance to really insulate that floor
1:06
And that's really the best product because it's waterproof. It's going to do a really great job
1:12
And one of the things I'm doing on these videos, I'm going to be trying to tape as many of them as possible just like this
1:20
where you're looking at things just like I'm looking at it. So that, you know, the camera's basically my eyes
1:28
And I think that's going to work out really well. Here are the shingles
1:32
They're on the job site right now. And there one of the forms for the footers the piers I got it hidden back in the woods so that it doesn the Sun really was fading it out And up here I wanted to walk and show you something really exciting We just got it working about a
1:52
half an hour ago I'm really really excited and I'll be sharing the address with you, but if you look up there
2:00
Right in the center of the frame in that box that looks like a birdhouse. That's the webcam
2:05
webcam. It's up, it's working, and it's broadcasting the image of where we're going to be building
2:11
the shed, which is right here. So right in the trees here, I'm going to be starting probably
2:20
tomorrow, we're going to start cutting all these little trees down, opening up this site
2:25
so that we can start laying out the shed. It's going to be very, very exciting
2:30
So there you have it. We're just about ready to go. I want to thank you for your patience
2:35
The t-shirts, just so you know, should be done early next week, and the hats are supposed to be shipped to me the middle of next week
2:44
So towards the third week of July, you should expect to receive all of that if you're a backer and you got some of those things
2:53
But understand that we're getting ready to start this project, and I'm getting ready to tape the videos
2:58
In fact, tomorrow morning, I'm going to take the first video, which is the planning video
3:02
to show you how to properly plan a shed so that you get it the right size
3:09
All too often, people make a huge mistake. And you know what? Their shed ends up being way too small
3:16
You never want that to happen to you. Okay, get ready. We're going to start hammering nails here really, really soon
3:22
It's going to be very exciting. Once again, thanks so much for your support
