WOW,Great Garden! AWESOME 👍 Solar is 👍🤞✌️👌🙏🇺🇸✝️💜🌅🌄🌟🌞🌻🤩👍

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@RomeoG39]

Oh my gosh you do scale model trains, too!! There's not enough time to watch all the cool videos! I gotta go check that out, though!

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all. Safety first peace.

[@tobymeade3222]

Ken, there's enough space inside the walls& ceiling to make small Closets!👍🤞✌️👌🙏🇺🇸✝️💜🌅🌄🤩🌟

[@kenskarpentry]

True

[@kennethoblenesjr8493]

Stay working as long as you can, once you stop hard to get back in the swing of things. I worked till I was 70 going to be 75 in May. Wish I stayed longer.

[@tobymeade3222]

Can't wait to see when deck is done 👍 Have a Great Day while Weather is Enjoyable 🌞🌻🤩

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks you too

[@bobt3374]

Hi Ken Dan Chas. Still an excellent build realy worth watching.

[@johnroethel5527]

Morning Ken and Crew. Really enjoyed this build

[@regnor166]

I think you need some ventilation on the greenhouse and led lights. Thanks for the videos.

[@stevenwarner7348]

That greenhouse effort and the train set up. Nice Ken. I am so impressed with New You Tube content. Just great. But Chad and Dan, Ken. Maybe when you build more of these ~ Off Grid Cabin in the Woods with storage truss. ~. More of these Ken. The Off Grid Cabin is well, Amazing. More Ken and One for me Ken. ～✨🌸🌟🌸✨～

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Love that salt box style Ken great job .

[@wingman8447]

Cabin looks good. Christmas is coming, a great time for model trains

[@phillipjones3342]

I really liked the design of that little house in the woods

[@cliffhalse1326]

Hi Ken, I’m sure your in touch with Al n Gina about solar, now that’s a video idea, Al installing solar in your garage. 💡

[@gonesideways6621]

You better leave the gardening to me and you stick with what you do best building wonderful buildings 😊

[@Snowmannorth]

Another great build by Ken and crew!

[@fdfd4525]

Multifaceted Man. Super Ken. Blessings

[@Dan-1408-r5h]

Ken, my wife and I have been watching your KZbin channel for about 8 yrs. We love your channel. I feel compelled to ask, at 70 yrs of age, why have you not retired yet? We always thought your sons would take over the business. Son Chad seems like he would probably tke over and Dan would stay on board to work for him. We watch your show through our TV on KZbin. It appears during live shows, our name fails to show up, although we can hit the "like" button.

[@richardroyles1423]

Looking good. God bless.

[@tobymeade3222]

❤ Good Morning Ken,Chad,Dan🌞🌻🌅 Garage is looking Beautiful 👍🤞✌️👌🙏🇺🇸

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@MrRebar15]

*Kens Karpentry* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

Saddened to see how things went in the greenhouse, but at least you’re learning from the experience.

[@clarencewiles963]

They have plenty of rocks for a rock garden wall all around it. Thanks for the update on the train 🚂 Next job on the next snow day 😂.

[@jason27swg]

I was gonna comment there is no shortage of rock on this property !!

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha thanks

[@mmanut]

This is a design id be very interested in. FANTASTIC JOB GUYS‼️🪚🗜️ Vinny 🇺🇸

[@stevenwarner7348]

Oh yes there Ken, When you build one of these for me I think I'll have you build the whole deck. You know with whatever footings you suggest. Maybe a "double deck." Yea one for the entry (area) then one for the second floor. And I'm putting in a Chimney. No one puts chimneys in their new builds anymore. Yep with brick and maybe even two 9/12 ceramic flue liners. Remember those? A cook stove in the kitchen and a fire place in the living area. A mantel over the hearth. I'll take care of that later. But then I can stack wood on the "deck below." Sure ~ That would work. When you build one of these for me. One of these, Ken. Pretty much like this. Oh yea! ～✨🌸🌟🌸✨～. from Nahampsha

[@josefreck1103]

Guten Morgen zusammen passt auf euch auf, wird ein toller Bau 👏🏻👋🤗😉👍

[@StoneKathryn]

Courtesy of Google translate: Good morning everyone, take care of yourselves, it's going to be a great build 👏🏻👋🤗😉👍

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Well... I hope they let you come back and give us an update as the home owner continues to make progress. That's the one thing about your channel... you build a shell, but we rarely get to see progress past that... It is nice that sometimes you show us the finished project... and I thank you for that.

[@DANDY1]

Good morning ken and crew! I would put up a safety hold for door going no where! Have a great day!

[@richardwhite4277]

might also look for some grow lights that are tubes that can be used in a fluorescent light fixtures

[@babsmkoch]

Please show us the finished project once the roof is finished and all battens are installed. You could do a short.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Ken always a pleasure watching you and the guys working together and getting things done ✅ 😮😊❤

[@dorisharrison9885]

Enjoyed watching, you make everything look easy,have a bless day 😊😅💜

[@brucealvarez9263]

Kaya likes "take your dog to work" days. Not my house but I wouldn't put solid walls along the stairwell. The house will feel much more closed in and small. I kept adding compost to my potato beds as they grew until I had added about 18". They did really well. Some were in the 4'x5' compost bin, others were in 3 tire towers - 2 tires on 2 and 3 on the other. I think maybe you have the lights too close to the plants but I've never done a grow light setup so I could be 100% wrong.

[@chadhensch4748]

Potatoes depend on the type--if you need to add more soil to top as tubers grow upwards. Determinate or indeterminate variety? Most common potatoes are determinate variety. Therefore, soil mounding doesn't benefit because the tubers grow at one level. The level that you planted them at in the bucket initially. Basic varieties like Russet, Pontiac Red, Yukon gold, Kennebeck whites fall under determinate variety. I did German Butterballs this year--as a test. They were my only indeterminate type of potato. So, I had to add soil to container as the plants grew up. Produced and tasted exceptionally well. When you see the potato plants begin to flower--you are assured the tubers are growing potatoes, signaling reproduction and you'll have a harvest. The potato flowers are or can be toxic to animals and humans as they contain high levels of solanine. PS: I really enjoy all of your content and channels. Keep up good work Ken, Dan and Chad.

[@dapacathomeca8232]

What a nice cabin and very spacious. You guys do a very professional job on your projects. 👏 👏 .

[@ronjclm8590]

Look'n GOOD !!!

[@doncc6080]

Ken you sounded like you were fighting a cold or something.

[@doncc6080]

I am 73 for many years I have put Vicks on my throat every night. Since doing this I have not had a cold or sore throat.

[@lmars5933]

Everything looks fantastic my friend 😎

[@Cooldaddio2]

Nice build. Good job.

[@dwaynesanders2095]

Awesome keep up the good work

[@kenshores9900]

Really like the door that goes no where. However after you installed the ledger it does make sense.

[@michaelegan8703]

Just took my O gauge set up down yesterday to redo my train room going to be quite a project hoping to have it back together before Christmas

[@howardemery1443]

Columbo ah one question have you ever seen a spot where water has not got in over time good luck but that is one primo job Ken and Chad an Dan see you next one

[@Lumber_Jack]

Nice work Ken, that is a really sharp looking cabin and I like the simplicity/reliability of all the construction methods and materials. I am surprised how easy that ledger flashing slipped in. Those always want to fight me when working alone.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

INTERESTING STUFF! Wont the flashing over the ledgerboard dump water into the wall at ends of board?Perhaps caulking to follow. CHEERS from HERE!

[@davidrobins4025]

Very nice looking building. You always do a fabulous job.

[@am0ntgy]

ken you should reach out to someone like mars hydro they would totally hook you up with a light or two that would run way more efficiently than the bulbs youre using. they work fine but are probably costing you more in electricity than any other part of your grow room. if you swap out all the little bulbs with a couple larger fixtures that run on LED diodes you will have much happier plants and a lower electricity bill. they do sponsor ship packages and im sure would make something work.

[@rupe53]

The build looks good, and I can see you are into the learning curve on the greenhouse. Amazing how quickly that utility bill went up when you spent more time in the garage.... then added grow lights and a heater. When I retired my power bill also went up because I was spending more time at the house, especially in the winter.

[@2wwwilly]

Nicely done ..are you going to coat the exterior ..😂😂❤❤

[@donaldparkhurst3006]

The cabin came out great Ken. Awesome job guys! Thanks for the video Ken. Stay safe,have a great day and may God bless…

[@NPC2_4_U]

I was wondering about that space beneath the ledger board. I'm glad you did a fly around. A handsome build.

[@rongreene1788]

Check out those multi spectrum lights for your plants. They are the types that are several different colors. Useually square shapped.

[@Docbob630]

Hope this isn’t the last video. Definitely interested in the porch roof. Will you be using metal roofing or shingles? If you use metal, would really like to see how you handle the valleys as they intersect with the main roof.

[@clarencewiles963]

Two more inches of soil. The reason is that as they put on the spuds 🥔 they will be in loose soil 1) they will be bigger. 2) easily dugout, we did them in rows. 3) And we used a dubbed potato 🥔 plow. To braking apart the hill and not damaging the potato 🥔. Your bucket 🪣 will be interesting to see how they turn out 😊

[@mr.carter9004]

Make sure the LED lights you are using are full spectrum made for growing.

[@gnusndn301]

Looks like ladder City😅

[@StoneKathryn]

Wow Ken, that's some surgery you did to get the ledger board up correctly! That looks great Ken! The flashing went on great. Thanks for showing the header you did on the other side of the opening for the stairs. That looks nice and solid. Thanks for explaining that the stairs will be inside walls. Thanks for showing the mesh over the top of the opening in the roofline. Too bad you were short on the ridge cap metal for the porch. I see lots of lag bolts! You put the T-111 and battens back up below it? It looks really nice. Thanks for telling us about the compellation video of your model railroad build. Too bad about your struggles with the indoor greenhouse. Your electric bill sure went up! I can understand why you want to go solar for that greenhouse! Thanks for these updates Ken. Great video!

[@estherstephens1858]

The build looks awesome. Ken, I LOVE your energy! You definitely love starting new projects. God bless you and your loved ones

[@johncornell3665]

Really enjoyed this build. Look forward to the next one. Thanks Ken!

[@paulaanthis4031]

Your experience, work ethic and added explanations of results as well as the diverse areas of sharing make your every video feel like I got to visit with my own Dad again. Your heart to do things right on your builds, including your indoor green house, incredible train village, as well as your sharing and making changes along the way, give explanations about your plant growing adventures and learning curve will be a huge help when I make my coming move to a new location and get more container plants growing. Many thanks and blessings for you, your crew and your enjoyable and informative videos!! Hope you give step by step on your off grid solar for the workshop - with product info and reasons for choosing those materials, placement and installation.

[@JB-ej2qy]

I would put sheet over your train table

[@russ6720]

may I ask total material costs for this one Ken?

[@billiehuskins8129]

I wouldn’t close in the stairs

[@NPC2_4_U]

You need LED strips for lighting (6500k). Those bulbs you're using burn when that close. LED will reduce your energy usage by a lot.

[@smmcelduff2212]

I guess you preassemble your wall sections in the shop to save time and hassle? Also, those trusses look like they were expensive but would have been extremely hard to build on your own, not to mention as strong? Thanks

[@Flowing23]

great work 👍👍

[@loucinci3922]

Perfect

[@jimsutherland8468]

Fill it to top

[@henryostman5740]

Is there going to be some protection for the green insulation surrounding the cement pad?

[@RUDOLF1929]

✅Лучший работник года 🏆🥇👍🙂🍑🥥🍇

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@ericfraser7543]

24:45 IDK about prices in VT, but I bet you could buy a lot of Potatoes for $85. I watched all your videos so I hope youtube made up for it.

[@richc9890]

Maybe a put in a sawmill or lumber yard (you would have lots of scrap wood to use to make all the lumber).....

[@kenskarpentry]

Right

[@rosalynrn]

Do you mind talking about costs? Watch all your blessed videos ❤

[@joeluppino824]

What is the white looking line half way up going all the way around the cabin?

[@oldohioangler4525]

i think you are referring to the flashing at the top of the lower T111 sheets. Keeps water from running behind the lower siding.

[@johnp1]

I really like this build. Do you use silicone/sealant for windows, doors and skylight in this build?

[@ralphmartin8392]

Ken, I didn’t watch this video from the beginning, but what was the price?

[@curtisharlan9230]

Cool ken

[@rudygtrz]

With the price of insulated walk doors for buildings, why don't you make the doors in your shop and save delivery time and money?

[@brucecotnoir9135]

p reety ruff cut

[@tobymeade3222]

We have Solar Farms here in Ny.& Getting 10%off our Bills 💵 Every little bit helps!👍🤞✌️👌🙏🇺🇸✝️💜🌅🌄🌟🌞🌻🤩👍

[@Mrlocdown238]

Can rodents get in through that ridge opening?

[@kenskarpentry]

No. We have a screen over the opening

[@richardwhite4277]

not really a greenhouse more of a grow room / think greenhouse all use sunlight

[@jimsutherland8468]

Use LED lights to lower $$

[@HaroldKellock]

Never tie a dog to a vehicle!

[@stephanefraga2599]

[@jefferykeeper9034]

I don't know why they called it off grid when do a video about it and put it on the internet.

[@sherpa972]

Off-grid has different meanings to different people, most refer to not being connected to the electrical power grid, as opposed to the I do not want to be found grid.

[@HaroldReece]

Off grid to most people means your electrical service is not connected to the electrical grid. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to become a "hermit", give me a break.

[@StoneKathryn]

They aren't hiding. There is no power to the building so they'll have to go solar. Because it's a house they do have to put in a septic system. It's out in the woods. It's a pretty area. I'd say that's off grid.

[@daveklein2826]

Stupid comment

[@scottstephens4587]

Just repeating this. My favorite view to a build. Building materials and labor costs available? Thanks Ken.
