  • Hey, Alan here from damn good reviews.

  • So behind me, we have the Heartland 10 by 10 Gamble roof shed that we picked up from lows.

  • Now we did it.

  • You do yourself, do it yourself version where we put it all together.

  • Got the kit.

  • Got the floor kit.

  • You really don't have to cut anything.

  • It was all ready to go.

  • But you do have thio, obviously, you know, do the foundation yourself.

  • Get that all set up and buy you some separate things.

  • Like the roof paper for the tarp as well as the shingles, things like that.

  • But thank God for YouTube was able to watch a lot of the videos to see really how to do it.

  • And of course, there were some videos.

  • They kind of did a different ways, but it came out really well.

  • So I got a great deal on it over at Lowe's when it was on sale.

  • You can maybe find a 10% coupon and use it with that.

  • And, you know, it was fun if I really did it from, you know, sunrise to sunset.

  • Billy could probably do it in three days, you know, for someone that doesn't really do this stuff, but you will need to use a second person not for building the whole thing, but really, when you need to put the walls because you're gonna build the walls on the ground and then you have to put it up and then build it that way.

  • But otherwise it was It was a fun thing to do.

  • We had a little bit rain to deal with.

  • Not a big deal, but overall, it's a huge you'd shed, which is gonna provide plenty of room.

  • And one of the things we liked about this shed is that it also has a loft, so you get to use that space, too, and you can probably do stuff in the future.

  • If you're handy enough to put in a you know, either run electric to it or put in a skylight or window if you want to it.

  • I don't need that.

  • I just need the extra space and then you'll see behind me.

  • This is the prime color of the shed, so that's that's what you get out of the box.

  • And of course you can paint it yourself.

  • We added that compass thing on top there and then you also have the other piece of wood and I built the ramp to from something else that we bought.

  • So, you know, those are things that you might want to think about of adding on Now, a lot of these places also say that you should have it up off the ground to get airflow going.

  • So you know it does not rot underneath because you don't want that would write on the ground, which makes a lot of sense.

  • You could also do it on, you know.

  • Ah, full concrete slab thes air up on concrete blocks which are actually sitting on some some pea gravel that we dug into the ground and board that so to make a level foundation up on the four by fours, that air pressure treated.

  • And then we have the found the flooring kit that we bought from lows as well.

  • That made it nice and easy.

  • That came with everything we needed.

  • Thio build a floor without having to cut anything.

  • So when you go ahead and show you what it looks like, it's kind of a mess inside already.

  • But let me just show you real quick, so things that I had a still purchased.

  • It comes with all the nails for the shed.

  • But we did find that we ran out of some of the nails and did have to buy some additional.

  • I think it was the three inch nails, so keep that in mind, and that happened with the flooring kit as well as the actual shed kit, which is kind of weird.

  • But I had plenty of the two inch nails left, kind of weird.

  • So I did the drip edge here and there's plenty of videos online.

  • How to cut that in angle it.

  • I think I did a pretty good job.

  • They probably wouldn't hire me to build houses, but I'm pretty happy with it.

  • And then also, we have the shingles up top.

  • I still got to go across and, um, you know, do some of the silicone for the different gaps and as well as some of the shingles there.

  • They say that some of the shingles will definitely, you know, settle and come back down.

  • But I did the best I could without, you know, having the experience and just watching on YouTube, and I think I did pretty good for that.

  • Built the ramp ear to get inside.

  • And then everything else is pretty much all set to go.

  • And then I also did the shingle cap, which there were a couple different versions of howto really do that.

  • Um, and that was all set.

  • One thing I will say about this is when you put the door on, you get it all set up in line to go in the spot.

  • We didn't realise to actually align it to that center spot.

  • So you see, it's slightly off.

  • So we did have to shave down some of the wood on the side.

  • That was the only cutting that we had to do.

  • And like I said, it is already getting to be a mess this year and then inside to see the nice little loft area, and you can take advantage.

  • I hang some other stuff as well.

  • And then where was cut?

  • Where I was telling you, we had a trim this down because we were slightly off.

  • So it was getting stuck on the floor.

  • But not a big deal.

  • Easy to do.

  • Just shave that down.

  • We have a nice little lock right there pushing up.

  • Lock it in place and you're good to go.

  • So plenty of storage room s.

  • So if you need to put a ladder in here or something high, then you can do some other things across the walls.

  • Makes it nice and easy.

  • And plenty.

  • Plenty of storage Floor is nice and sturdy with the flooring kit that we used and everything is good color.

  • So they have to be great if you ran some power to it.

  • Your bride set up a little workshop depending on if you're, you know, the requirements of your neighborhood, things like that.

  • But otherwise, this is a really good kid that I'm happy with.

  • And again, this is the Heartland 10 by 10 Gamble roof shed.

  • You can check it out right on lows.

  • But there you go.

  • I'm Alan from damn good reviews.

  • Thanks so much for watching.

  • And we'll see you soon.
