Thank you..... please don't take it as whining your video was outstanding and you have helped me out so much on many projects. You have skills way above my level and the timestamp will help...Please keep up the great work and videos.

Josh and his videos are so perfect. Not over explaining or under explaining. He no longer calls out people who say he does some thing wrong in the comments. He just states what he does in his situation and his reasoning. He’ll obviously read the comments for anything that he may have missed but we all know there are many ways to do the same thing so he no longer over thinks the comments saying he did something wrong bc it’s not done their way.

I built the same kit at daughter's house last summer . Nice kit with 3 people it went up in 1 afternoon. I would recommend it to anyone.

[@frankyrx8459]

Getting all the information on a topic is not a bad idea. I think it looks very good. I work in a furniture fabrication and we use 3/4" pvc for the doors of outdoor kitchens.

[@Barracuda48082]

Great demonstration all the way . First deal of the job will be the floor install.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I appreciate that! Starting from the ground up is the way to go. After that, you will be at the stage of this video more than likely. Good luck with your project!

[@papascruffy]

Great work on the framing same as everything I've seen you do. You must have a massive budget but saving a ton on using your skills.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

That is the trick, saving on the labor side. Yes it’s not cheap to build an outdoor kitchen. I figured this is my forever ham so it is worth it long-term. Thanks for watching!

[@papascruffy]

@@TheExcellentLaborer I do the same, remodeled my garage and installed a sub panel so all my shop tools and lights run off it, your video on this matter helped me on that. I built a deck and paver patio a couple years back and now building a roof over the patio starting this week. As long as it's something I can do I won't hire someone to do it. I also enjoy it too.

[@jamesb2452]

@@TheExcellentLaborer if you have a glaze recipe for that forever ham, I would love to try it!

[@jennlizzy2019]

Kitchen Designer here. Great tutorial, great craftsmanship and thoughtful layout.... But, I believe you have a missed opportunity concering use and maintenance. Elevating the bottom plate with water-resistant feet by 2-3 inches would have allowed the use of a hose and/or weed blower to easily clean debris, water from rain and snow, dirt and dust off and out your patio. The cabinets would stay dry and there would be access for cables etc. for any future changes.

[@fortmyersfruitforest5214]

You mean create a rat cave?!

[@jaysonprice2484]

This has got to be the most detailed outdoor kitchen build I've seen. I have a dream build for my house that is still a couple years away before we can afford it. Love this! thanks for sharing. Going to bookmark this for sure.

Another fantastic video, Josh - super detailed, no-nonsense, full of tips and things to watch out for. Your videos have become insta-clicks in my youtube feed. Thank you!

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

That is great to hear! I have a lot of videos in the making. Stay tuned for more to come!

[@Velly_drums]

Josh, I’ve watched a good amount of your videos and I feel like I can build a small town!! Soon enough I’ll be building my work shop and I’ll be referencing your garage video l. Thanks!!

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Congrats on the decision to build a garage! I just finished this garage and I can’t imagine not having one already. Thanks for watching my videos. I really do appreciate it!

[@bradleylangdon8277]

I learn a lot from watching your videos. Thank you, Josh.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

You are welcome. Glad to hear it! Stay tuned for more!

[@davidharrison3074]

I've always loved special projects. You absolutely did a fantastic job with great description of everything needed all the way down to the color of the chalk line. Laser levels are a great asset to projects like this. Can't wait to see the next sequence of the project. Checking all the products is so important as you said in case something needs addressed and doesn't hold up the project. Thank you again Josh for such an informative video and the links of products etc. Keep pressing on with everything you do. Great job. 🔨🔨👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Hey David! Things I forget to mention during recording I tried to catch up on when I do the voiceover. That is how I try to keep it interesting and informative at the same time. I’m starting the concrete counter soon so stay tuned. I appreciate all the support. Thank you!

[@davidharrison3074]

@@TheExcellentLaborer that's what keeps everything knowledgeable. We are human and you do put so much into everything you do and share with others. I love seeing positive outlooks from others wanting to do a project and are a bit not sure. Always mentioning about permits and codes and how things that work for you might not be for someone else like we've talked about in the past. We all find the things that work best for us. But most of all the importance is to do your best and has any project, lay everything out is best you can and have a game plan. Best to you and your family. 🔨👍🏻

[@sevans66]

Glad you got the boss's approval on the depth

[@dc5duben96]

just wanted to say 1st & this is a great video for me cuz im in the beginning stage of my kitchen build

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Awesome! I hope it is going well. How is it going?

[@RyanMartin-wg7gm]

You know that is a very good and super durable beautiful counter top Brother wow it is awesome thank you very much from Alaska 😊

[@Chrissers2010]

What will be the final "skin" or finished surface on the cabinets? I quickly scanned the video and didn't see a mention of that.

[@cassielmeng780]

Cool vedio !!!!!i really love your style and the way you talked and introduced!!!!!!!

[@Sonjateboekhorst]

nice clean cut with router

[@tylerward8490]

Looking forward to that part 2!!

Thank you! I try to put as much information as I can when I am making these videos. Stay tuned for the next one!

[@timinclt7895]

You are awesome buddy! Love the videos 😊

U did great dude thx for sharing

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I appreciate your support! Be sure to stay tuned for more videos to come!

[@SmileyFaceGeorge]

Great video

[@trevorcorkery]

Aren't you worried having the wood directly on the floor when water gets there and causes dry rot? Would you need some metal legs to lift it off the surface a bit?

[@hernandoolarte8801]

Great and awesome tutorial but could not find the link to your veneer installation. Is there one? Thank you!!

[@fstoll3]

Hey Josh, Would it be possible for you to make a playlist of building your house, in order of the build? Also, just wondering how old are you?

[@Sanfrantana]

love your videos josh

[@bentheguru4986]

Not a builder nor am I from yanky-land but there are things here that stand-out. The term "Pressure Treated" is used by yanks a lot but means nothing. If the timber is "Treated" it means with chemicals to resist rot and insects and "Pressure" (Positive pressure and nagative (vacuum)) along with heat is used to drive the chemicalls intot he timber. I see no dye colour to state if that is indoor or outdoor rated treated timber. Next issue, outdoor and the timber is put directly onto the floor that basically at same higher as ground around it. No barriers for moisture or insects. Putting hole lot on steel pedestalls world fix these issues. Obviously, there is more to the project but the whole area will need screening.

[@drewbaker5064]

Most recommendations I've seen entail using a steel or concrete block frame - as opposed to wood. Are you not worried about the wood rotting, swelling, or being combustible? Obviously wood is the cheapest option, but I've seen most people recommend staying away

[@milroypaul]

Very informative

[@decfit2]

Hi Josh, you mention the need to use zero-clearance liners when using pressure treated wood - why is this? Thanks!

[@wiiz2780able]

Lets goooooo

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Yes!!!

[@Cpedro1685]

Are you worried about the heat from the grill affecting the siding?

[@christiantardif7918]

Hi Josh, at the begining of this video you say it's part 1 of a 4 part video. I've watch parts 1 and 2 but can't find 3 and 4. Can you help?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Part three and four are in production. They will be released within two weeks. Hope that helps!

[@showtime95667]

Love the floor… did you do a video on that? Is it overlay?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thank you! Yes I did, here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ62kq1ufrODq8U . Hope it helps!

[@showtime95667]

I found it thanks! Our broom finished concrete was power sprayed by a painter who left big gouges in the concrete. So guessing we need to do an overlay and stamp that. Have you done any concrete overlay videos? Thanks.

[@DianaBullard-ii2bs]

I must be missing something bc the link at the end of your video for the concrete countertops pointed to the framing of your garage….

[@tredogzs]

When is the cook out???? I wanna come!

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Hoping to have this thing done early June or late May!

[@fortmyersfruitforest5214]

Why not frame it out with metal studs?

[@fstoll3]

Why didn't you use a router to cut out the door openings?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

That definitely would have been a great way to do it. Works fine too if you take your time. Thanks for watching!

[@danadeboard225]

no glue or screws?

[@zephyr1408]

Actually a router with a pattern bit you hv studs to run on !

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Yes, you are not wrong. I just know the sheathing will get covered up by the doors so it was not that critical for me. I appreciate your input!

[@rudyrivera7426]

👌👍

Thanks !

I am a cabinet maker/ finish carpenter and I love this build until you broke out the saws-all for the cabinet openings ? Josh? Yep you’re a framer! Your fired!

[@Fpcarrillo]

Wow, that's overkill on framing.

[@r.m.2301]

dude... great video but I have to say I feel stupid. you are going so fast with the measurements that it is hard to keep up... You may want to slow down and break this type of video into a 4-5 series. Now I do have to rewind so I can watch it 5-6 times to get the details.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thank you! It’s hard to have a balance between being too thorough and not thorough enough. If I make a really detailed video like that, it can lose a lot of people. I appreciate your input that helps a lot!

[@HenkSneev]

​@TheExcellentLaborer I would always side with much more detailed. There are already tons of other superficial videos online that skip over the details - which once you actually try building something, you realize are the most important part. If time is an issue, you can post details in a graphic which can be paused at.

[@r.m.2301]

I would agree 100% more detail the better. and his videos are outstanding and have helped so much. @@HenkSneev

[@r.m.2301]

@@TheExcellentLaborer Dude great video I want the detail... I just am not at your level so I have to watch 2-3 times just to make sure I have it... Please do not stop being so detailed it is so helpful. my comment was never intended as bad just me getting frustrated so I am sorry.

[@indyfastal]

I wanted to watch this video but there was too much talking...

[@asusarkano9640]

😅

[@spenceralridge4958]

Afraid of communication?

[@mytubebobbie06h]

I guess you don’t appreciate the helpful advice from someone that knows what they’re doing, huh? For DIY’ers all over, myself included, I appreciate the time he’s spending in helping under what and how he’s doing it. That is how one learns - from others knowledge. There’s things that I wouldn’t even think of or consider if I hadn’t listened to the informative video.

[@travisbosco8469]

Yeah. A DIY video with no explanation would be really great. It would give no education as to how to do anything, but the morons couldn't complain about the talking.

[@GageDrums]

If you didn't want instructions, hence the title "how to".. I'd recommend looking up a timelapes of an outdoor kitchen build.. Orrr don't watch anything since it seems like you already know how to do it!

[@6by6by6]

Least used feature in any home..😂 just like 90% of the hot tubs sold..

[@Tm19718]

Maybe for some. I probably only use my indoor kitchen 10% of the time for dinner. I use my outdoor mostly. Keeps the mess and heat out of the house.
