Off Grid Earthbag Workshop Part 39 roof window Glazing

[@dansmithinc]

I've been a carpenter 35 years and that's some awesome improvisation , ❤️

[@ivyjulieharvey3043]

watching these videos rekindle old memories making our mud hut as my daughter said. my daughter was very small and tried to mix the cob by foot and covered head to toe in the stuff my boy was still standing whilst skidding on his feet whilst mixing that was a fun day now teenagers and the mud house is still going strong

[@bertieb9510]

Spent the whole Easter weekend binge watching the workshop build. Just got to here and have to say how beautiful that roof window looks. My congratulations. I’ll be disappointed when I’m all caught up and have to go back to waiting for the next weekly installment from you.

[@jonathansweet1112]

The window looks great, simple but effective solution to each individual problem and the work shop should be big enough for whatever you need. Keep up the good work.

[@d.mariedouthit-rainford7374]

Wow, what amazing work!! garden hose table top and plex glass! what a beautiful skylight!!

[@sarapulford5957]

What a beautiful, elegant and simple solution to a very tricky problem. 👍👍

[@franmullins3208]

You deserve to have one million subscribers. You are super knowledgeable in so many things. Love watching your videos. USA 🌴🌴

[@polishboy5]

Blood Money eh? What’s subscribers got to do with permits?...

[@marciam6224]

What an ingenious idea for splitting the hose!! And I saw NO blood. lol I really look forward to your videos. Good job you!!!

[@wahizahabdulwahid8652]

Very pleased with ur creative hell work . Fantastic jobs . Nice looking roofs . Sunlight tru ur ‘dome’ circle center of the roofs . Fantastic job kris👍🏼

[@connertomlinson6467]

I may not own my own patch of land nor build my own buildings, but i do love watching these videos and pick up some great tips at the same time. Your thought process on these projects is really inspiring.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Kris Harbour. 👍👌👏 Simply fantastic, extremely well done. Ingenious idea with that hose seal. I will definitely use that idea on one of my projects. Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck health and wisdom to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants).

[@emmachizzit9919]

and you had the perfect weather to prove the water seals. Really enjoy your videos but don't be afraid of letting us see you struggle from time to time. Thanks for sharing.

[@matthewcunningham8691]

Superb work Kris, it must be great to work in that space - good natural light and so cleverly designed.

[@kirstyding1007]

Me and other half have followed you for over a year and always look forward to your videos, ( especially with the little cat) keep up the work your doing fantastic

[@anitamitchell3452]

That is beautiful. Best part ... you know it'll stand up to a storm.

[@dugdru2]

That roof looks great - and it will let in a terrific amount of light. It kind of looks like the Windscreen from the millennium falcon - awesome.

[@LeJimster]

As others have said. Fantastic idea using the rubber hose like that. I would never think to do the window how you've done it, but it works and looks good.

[@pedalart]

Kris, window looks amazing. I enjoy your many multi faceted eco projects, from the hydro generator, the vegetable oil van, to your house and workshops. Bravo. Your channel Kris Harbour Natural Building and My Self Reliance are my two favourite off grid channels by far. The skills and work ethic on both the channels are truly champion !

[@Coppretta]

Every video of yours I watch, I’m more amazed!

[@tardismole]

Whistling for the chickens. Can't remember ever seeing that done before. I hope you gave them a nice treat for being such happy famous chickens. :) And the window looks amazing.

[@robertbass5283]

EXCELLENT Kris ❗️❗️ LOVE how your workshop is progressing, GREAT WORK !

[@maryblaylock6545]

The amount of light entering the workshop has more than doubled. Amazing!

[@wolfsangeleyes]

That windows looks amazing, great job 😍👍 The girls are hilarious, they actually come running when you whistle 😂🐓🐓

[@aarondm2000]

Absolutely beautiful and the organic look of the rafters is breathtaking.

[@Nerdforge]

That window turned out amazing! Great work!

[@KrisHarbour]

Thanks :) i always recognise your comments. your logo really stands out.

[@0hN0es203]

Brother once you get that workshop completed you are never going to want to leave it!

[@davecisneros5285]

Not only aesthetically beautiful but that large natural light source will save so much electricity. Plus, now that sucker will sleep about 20 volunteers :) edit: Have you considered protecting the edge of the glass? Maybe a wood ring. I can't help but look at it from the side after those considerable winds.

[@lawrencewillard6370]

Laughed With you when the window slid into it's place. Good journey you are having towards completion.😎

[@liamdalby6196]

WOW that skylight window looks sensational!! you're a clever Lad!! love the videos! living your dream and we get to share it with you without the hard work. thank you Kris!

[@AnnetteZang]

Great job on the window. It is amazing how much light now streams into the workshop. Looking forward to the next update. Hugs

[@1richiescott]

Looks amazing brilliant fecking brilliant. Love how you up cycle things like the round table fare play 😊👍💪

[@jeffk464]

You know its a brilliant idea for a wood shop, all that earth will really dampen the sound.

[@maryallen6334]

Brilliant!!!! What a clever one you are. I am eagerly awaiting the next phase of the building..Learning a heap too!!!

[@tomaswest6541]

Congratulations it's a really beautiful building, would have been hard to believe you did it all if I hadn't seen each video on the way

[@Sqtgdog]

Beautiful. What a perfect window for that building. It's even going to look nice from the shop above.

[@Chimonger1]

I LOVE how you did that skylight! How does the weight of that reciprocating rafter structure, with really wetted living roof, stand up to really bad earthquakes? You MIGHT have wanted to use a clear caulk to seal the channel ends of that polycarbonate, or the polycarbonate sealer tape, to prevent ANY moisture getting into them. And, use Sealer screws [have rubber gaskets] to screw down the battins, because screws create micro-water channels from the surface, clear down into the substrate. You won't notice it right away, but over time, that kind of micro leakage can grow algae in the polycarbonate channels, and start rotting the wood framing holding it up.

[@kenshores9900]

Very talented the way you did the sky light. The sod on the roof looks good.

[@pthithic]

That window is brilliant in its simplicity

[@villeqq4789]

Looks beautiful, what a nice project. I have hard time taking trash out every day so this kind of content that I can watch sitting down and eating chips is just perfect. Good job mate.

[@liftoffthecouch]

Hen and kitty whisperer! And a builder as well! That's my kind of guy! LOL I'm building a new hutch for my backyard quail. You've inspired me to try using some wiggly wood in it. I haven't got nearly the skills you have, but I like to think you'd approve.

[@Quake81270]

Kris where the poly is under the round glass overhang you will need to put some kind of silicone or all weather stripping to keep wind, water and snow from coming in. I guess you could use more hose just get bigger hose. It wil be a perfect place for bugs and mice to get in. Great video again. Congratulations on 100k subs.

[@SimsVlog]

You are so inspirational, I wish I had a snippet of your life in the country

[@george8873]

The sod on the roof is acclimating well to its new home. The window looks great, fits in great with the look of the roof rafters.

[@kaythorrold4362]

I love watching your plans come to life, great job!

[@liubagallucci5275]

Gorgeous what you did to the roof window......WOW

[@lesleyfrench4182]

I am addicted to your videos.

[@DeterminedDIYer]

Been watching for years. :) I really like the window. keeping my fingers crossed for no leaks for a long time!

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Looking great Kris, best video series of this kind on KZbin, well done. Love the start as you walk out the cabin door each time, very smart and then up to your ladies [chooks] precious! [from Australia]

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Fantastic job on the spiral braced roof window and its surround! Looks amazing, Kris! Well done, sir!

[@oooru5tynailooo]

Big milestone getting that window in, looks awesome!

[@AbellTo]

Watching this 2 years on and noticed you’ve just clocked 400k subs. Nice one

[@gliOrtidiMauro]

nel weekend ho visto tutti i tuoi video della turbina.. 34. ora devo iniziare tutti questi della casa.. fantastico lavori con conoscenza delle cose meriti tanto. ciao ti seguo da italia.

[@risingsun49]

You could put some resin on top of it that would protect it and seal the edges too. It looks great this would make a beautiful house. I love this buildings design. I wanna make one now. That storm was strong for u guys. Have to be careful.

[@paulholly3526]

Its just amazing at what your are doing over there. Much respect!

[@nick.caffrey]

The roof-light is sublime! What a wonderful building. You really are something else, Kris.

[@timcarvell8792]

Fantastic job kris, it’s a real pleasure watching your progression and skills develop.

[@Clothis64]

It’s beautiful ! Like a giant daisy on the roof. Superb !

[@SuperKingslaw]

I am sure the cat will love to sleep on top of the glass! :) Nice video!

[@charlesarnold4963]

The roof window is absolutely superb. It far exceeded my expectations from your earlier description during design and build. Well done.

[@roberthudson772]

Great vid again👍🏻, loving the view from under the dome at the end of the vid👏🏻👏🏻. The Earthbag Cathedral, you are going back into history right here, right now-epic😎.

[@What..a..shambles]

Roof achievement unlocked 💪🏻👍🏻

[@pearcey77]

I've been watching this series since you were first moving land, and it's amazing to see this really coming together!

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Posted two years ago when you just reached 100,000 subs. Now you have over 314,000. And for good reason = awesome episodes, well done!! 💪🏻💥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kundikishore]

So so beautiful... because So many brilliant ideas you have😇👌👌👌

[@Crewsy]

Looks awesome Kris. The glass table top seems like the perfect solution for the window and the hose is a brilliant idea for a gasket.

[@maodonimega]

That roof window is fabulous!

[@mwnciboo]

Kris, wax the glass with an auto polish, I use autogleam glass polish on my own glass portal, and the water beads and naturally over time pulls towards the edge.

[@matthewgordon-clark2392]

v impressive Kris. Love the improvised seal.

[@lesleyharris3198]

Hi Chris, the roof window looks awesome, great job,

[@stevendegonia]

Brilliant execution! Looks good and works a treat! Plenty of illumination for the workshop!

[@danceswithstone]

Congratulations on another milestone Kris. I imagine you will quickly fill that workshop to overflowing.

[@matthewbath9702]

Matty from Aussie, just subscribed. Awesome what you are doing Kris. And very relaxing and entertaining to watch, and you have inspired me to do a garden, and Get chooks and a chicken coop! And run. Thanking you for your inspiration, Books are good but your videos are great! Feels like I am there! Thanks Kris.

[@DukeOfChirk]

I’d forgotten the size of the skylight till you started the glazing process- it’s HUGE! Very well done - a work of art! (Shame you weren’t in the workshop during the storm - would have been epic to see the rain on the skylight glass. Maybe next time?)

[@alexlintern9347]

Looking forward to seeing KH put a genuine Welsh slate roof on his bigger home

[@thisoldditty]

What a great fit on the window, nice one!

[@purpleviolin]

Amazing workshop roof top windows. Excellent Job and looks fantastic!

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I was wondering how you were gonna secure down the big glass circle , inspired choice . The simpler the solution the less likely something will go wrong . Awesome mate 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@lynnbarnes9882]

The Dome is beautiful with all the rafters

[@stevencramer2070]

All coming together now Kris, looks amazing, give your yourself a massive pat on the back 👍

[@AvaT42]

I love that glass roof, beautiful

[@richevanscpa]

It’s not a workshop, it’s a showroom! Fantastic design with a creative and economical use of materials. Imagine the architectural, engineering and construction fees to duplicate it. Kris gets it done for a couple percent of the cost. Amazing! Ready to celebrate when the hundred-thousandth hobbit shows up!

[@JamesYoung61]

Kris it looks amazing and brings in so much light.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Hope you don't get a lot of large hail where you're located, if you do, you may be replacing the glass portion of your skylight sooner rather than later! Ingenious idea for the seal under the glass circle.

[@FrizznAmerican]

That came out great!! Super unique feature.

[@SusanLarrabee]

Beautiful sky light

[@markgoode4109]

Congratulations with nearly hitting 100,000 subscribers, and the window, well that just looks amazing, brilliant. Great to see you reaching another milestone with the build. As ever, thanks for sharing your journey with us. All the best.

[@darrinfraser]

Well done sir! love what you're doing. Wish I was in your neck of the woods. Love to be there helping you on your build. Keep up the great work.

[@jessegreywolf]

that window is beautiful! Job well done!

[@bullskitter]

I love these sorts of channels, they are smaller and incredibly engaging, then their sub count sky rockets... well deserved subs that is!

[@bullskitter]

@earthly firefly5 whats that got to do with this channel?

[@bullskitter]

@earthly firefly5 shut up nothing wrong with exploring different ways of living, its interesting not programming... smh

[@sonofgrimm96]

there's always one ^ hahah

[@polishboy5]

earthly firefly5 ! you’ve commented about bs that this channel doesn’t preach or mention!!?.why??..you need to change that name you’ve given yourself! as your hardly earthy or as smart as a firefly!!..your the reason why people want to live of grid!! To get as far away as possible from weird hypercritics like yourself!!...

[@dmj1170]

From above it looks like a Alien Space craft. Turned out awesome and leak free Im sure

[@livingoffgridinscotland]

Window looks awesome So many uses for corratherm (polycarbonate)

[@frederickhillegas2115]

such a beautiful job! Nice going Kris

[@caroles5258]

You have done such a wonderful job.

[@shannonswyatt]

Kris, looking at the sun roof I was thinking. You could build up the center section area like a cupola and add venting for the warmer months. Looks great!

[@kennethgibbons2487]

Kris - up to your usual standards! Amazing, creative! Looks so good.

[@MaxRenolds]

Very nice work looks amazing!!!! Loving the workshop and the Hydro!!

[@salimufari]

The inside view looks fantastic. One thing only that looked like a tempered glass coffee table top. I had one of these explode on me & I don't mean break I mean pop like safety glass. SO many tiny bits of glass. It may be worth sandwiching that in lexan or some other durable safety layer if it is.

[@poulsonarrow]

Funny watching this and what came to mind was a solar sun oven ?? ... great use of materials Kris .

[@87xfute]

Just brilliant Kris, well done mate. Seeya Rob

[@dudeitstimkennedy9576]

Yes do live feeds! You can have all my super chat dollars. I think you’re fascinating for a long long time now. Keep it up! Maybe you can give us a heads up when ya do, 100,000 subs is definitely something to celebrate.

[@robg521]

A ‘ROUND’ roof window is an excellent idea as it is impossible to drop the glass through the window aperture. [which is why old manhole covers were always round, the modern square ones can twist and fall through if you slip while you lift the lid in and out]

[@ariebenschop4632]

The covers are still round, only the bits around it are square to make it easier to lay bricks or such around it. At least where I live

[@robg521]

True, 👍👍👍🙂.... the Waterboard‘s manholes covers and the main sewer drain access covers are still mostly8 round, the BT telephone pit covers are square and oblong and so are the electric board’s underground Link box covers.
