DIY Shed Build with No Experience (Part 1) — What Could Go Wrong?
If you enjoy watching these videos and want to help us keep the journey going, consider supporting us on Patreon👉 https://www.patreon.com/ProjectAtticus
We’ve never built a structure before… but here we are, trying to build a shed from scratch with no experience—on land we don’t even technically own yet.
In this first episode of our shed build series, we scrape together a gravel foundation, frame the floor, and try to keep everything square and level while figuring it out as we go.
This shed might seem like a small project, but to us, it’s the first step toward learning how to build our dream home on this property in the mountains of North Carolina.
Whether you’re planning your own backyard workshop or just love watching people learn through trial and error, welcome to the start of something big.
👷♂️ This week:
– We scramble to meet a surprise gravel delivery with 15 minutes’ notice
–We level our first-ever “foundation” using hand tools and guesswork
–The lumber delivery goes sideways—and we have to unload it all ourselves
–Isabella returns home just in time to watch the chaos unfold
–We frame and square the floor using nothing but basic tools and a lot of trial and error
–Advantech subfloor goes down, and the shed finally starts to feel real

We’re Jordan and Desiree, and we’re building our mountain homestead from scratch, documenting every success, mistake, and lesson along the way.

Sailing Project Atticus
We're Jordan and Desiree! Our newest crew member is Captain Oso. We spent 6 years restoring and sailing on our 30 foot sailboat, "Atticus I". We made it as far as Panama, when we decided to upgrade to "Atticus II", our larger, more reliable family sailboat. We are now heading towards the Mediterranean to start our sailboat family!
