well welcome back to the Steve Robb show part four guys part four of the garden shed build and today
we're going to be installing the sheets of plywood I got the mold side here I'll show you in a minute
but first of all I just thought I'd let you know what I decided to go with and it's not deck screws
no deck screws would be perfectly fine but you know what they take a lot more time to install
and there are quite a bit more expensive so I have two choices I could go with the this
is one and a half inch ring nail or I can go with the the two inch spiral guys I'm going to go with
the two inch spiral because I will be using like I said in the last video there about I'm gonna do
something different this time and what I'm gonna do guys is I'm going to use this PL premium 400
and guys I'll tell you why I'm going to do this is a buddy of mine up at his camp built like a
little bit like a platform it was not really a deck but it's like a platform that he uses to
just store stuff on to keep it off the ground and he built it on 24 inch centers and when I
went up there I took a look I could see the nails you know on 24s and I thought a little boy Isis
this is it's gonna be like a little bit wobbly there you know cuz that's quite a span you know
24 inch on center and he's using 2x4 and but he said no he said I use the PL premium and guys
I was impressed like I mean it was solid like I mean really solid you know compared to not using
an adhesive you know on the choices so I thought okay well I'll give it a try too because you know
what I'm not ever taking this plywood off I mean you have the perimeter is all going to be framed
with with walls and it's nailed right to the plywood so you're going nowhere anyways so I
thought I'd try tonight see if it does make any bit of a difference and I think it's gonna work
I'll find of course I'm using the pl 400 and he used the pl premium and I told him I said
try this stuff next time it's like four or five bucks less a tube as far as I'm concerned it does
the exact same job but it does not dry as fast but for me it seems to be terrific so let's go
outside here and I'll show you the the plywood I got here the pressure-treated and it's that brown
stuff now you can't even get the green stuff the green stuff I don't think he exists anymore this
is the new type of brown stuff that they're coating it with now and I'll take you outside
and then we'll start installing this deck well at least the 5/8 deck let's get to her okay so
here we go we got our three sheets of plywood here these are the pressure treated 5/8 and
guys behind here is my dolly there's no way I'm gonna lift these sheets and carry them into the
backyard no no I'm thinking smart put it on the dolly let's get to it okay guys well here's the
setup right here I just thought I'd show you this uh Makita air compressors been working fantastic
and guys I got around 75 psi I might have to adjust that and got the caulking gun all ready
to go I got a hammer just in case the nails don't set deep enough and I have to adjust it
but yeah here we are guys and she's ready to go another thing I'll notice since last time is on
all the blocks I don't if you can see that or not I put caulking there I got some monocoque
and I just had some prone but I went around to all the corners just seal that all in so when it
rains it doesn't go underneath the joists and just sit there and there's a reason why these blocks
are all like this and you'll see when the whole sheds finished but let's get to it and I'll put
the caulking on all the Joyce's and I'll show you here this is what I do all the time is I just put
these little helpers here I just drive a screw in and I put these little helpers here so when
I pull the sheet over I can just pull it right to these little pieces of sticks I got in there and
it squares it up for me so I don't have to fool around with it too much because I'm doing this
on my own and then I'll show you me nailing this in so let's get to it okay so there we are guys
I got the PL 400 on there and I don't go crazy on it because you know what I've done that too many
times and it gets all over the place so let's pull that sheet over there and let's start nailing down
looks good to me
okay guys I'll just finish nailing this down and I'll bring you back when she's all done
okay guys I decided to bring you back because maybe some people you know just don't know you
know you can see on the sheet of plywood there that I've got the chalk lines on there and I
just used a chalk line just to snap it from one side to the other you could see where it
corresponds to where the nails are on my 2 by 6 on the front so I'll just show you and
I've adjusted the nail gun for air pressure and depth around the outside perimeter that
you'd never see and I'll just go along and I'll I'll show you how easy these nails going
and that's pretty well lit guys uh just nail her all back in there and away we go so yes I will
bring you back when this is all done let's get your okay guys there we are she's all done and
guys she's on there solid this thing ain't moving and I did have to pound in a couple
of nails in the beginning just to reset the nail gun but overall nice easy project okay
guys that's not too bad and you know what it took me exactly about one-and-a-half tubes of
them large tubes of PL 400 and it was quite easy the whole time I was nailing there took roughly
a half an hour and it bangs on real quick with the boxes there and an air nailer so thanks for
joining me today if you haven't seen this channel before you're more than welcome to subscribe you
guys come back now the next vid I'm gonna do on this it's going to have all the walls put
up and really the only thing I'm going to show maybe is putting on the siding a bit maybe the
doorway and the roof I do something a little bit different on my roofs and I look forward
to showing everybody that too so take care come back again let's have some more fun bye guys
