In this instructional video titled "How to Build a Lean To Shed - DIY Framing and Siding (Part 1)," the creator takes us through the process of constructing a lean-to shed. The focus of this part is on framing the structure and installing the siding. The creator approaches this project with a learning-by-doing mentality and plans to make the shed's dimensions available on their website for reference.

The construction journey begins with the framing of the walls. The creator cuts two-by-fours to the desired lengths, ensuring they use treated lumber for the bottom plate. The header consists of two two-by-fours with a half-inch material in between, securely attached with screws. Jack studs and king studs are used to support the header, creating a stable structure. Once the front wall is framed, two cripple studs are added to complete it.

The two side walls follow a similar pattern, consisting of king studs, a top plate, and a treated bottom plate. However, the creator encounters an issue with the slab being slightly recessed, which requires them to adjust the wall's position. With the adjustment made, the top plate is attached, and the wall is ready for installation.

Attaching the walls to the concrete slab is the next step. The creator uses a regular drill bit to drill through the wood and a masonry bit to drill into the concrete. Wedge anchors are used to secure the walls to the concrete, ensuring a stable foundation for the shed.

After the walls are attached to each other, the creator moves on to securing them to the building. While it would have been more efficient to attach one of the side walls first, they manage to fit it in place. The walls are attached to the building's structure, further enhancing the shed's stability.

The video proceeds to the framing of the shed's roof. A two-by-four is cut to the required length and nailed in place, ensuring it aligns with the outside walls and is level. To determine the correct angles for the roof's pitch, the creator opts for a hands-on approach, tracing out the angles using the initial board. The traced angles are then cut with a circular saw, and the pieces are secured in place with nails.

Additional support is added to the roof framing with the inclusion of two cripple studs on either side. This reinforcement ensures the structural integrity of the shed.

The final phase of the project involves adding siding to the shed. The creator repurposes masonite siding sheets they received, even though the colors do not match perfectly. The sheets are measured and cut to size before being nailed into place. While most of the siding installation is straightforward, a bit of extra effort is required for a challenging section on the back right wall, obstructed by a staircase. Nevertheless, the creator manages to complete the installation and finish the top triangle pieces of siding.

As the video concludes, the creator reflects on their learning experience and their eagerness to tackle future parts of the shed construction project. They emphasize their self-taught approach, learning through hands-on experience and continuous improvement. While they acknowledge that their work may not be perfect, they express enthusiasm about their progress.

In the next part of this series, the creator plans to address the remaining steps, promising further insights and lessons in their shed-building journey. Stay tuned for more updates and the next part of this DIY lean-to shed project.
