Building A Mobile Workshop (with an adjustable solar array)

[@Seanmmvi]

A man after my own heart - Making something way more complicated than it needs to be to make it cool :D

[@spsniper1170]

Right!!! Impressive shit!! Ann cool..

[@rosannegrimball4970]

Scout is just precious. Love that big smile. So fortunate to have 3 delightful children!

[@kathleenturley1561]

EVERYTHING Spencer does is involved. He is very meticulous!!! That is why we love him.........

[@rongray4847]

The mobile workshop is taking shape, good job Spencer. Love your videos and how well things are explained. 🇨🇦

[@ValerieMarieUhlir]

I love the building content, but I also love when we get a glimpse of family walks, kids playing in the house, just family life. :)

[@jacquie5730]

I wash just going to say the same ! It would would be refreshing to see some family content 🫶

[@vb2893]

Loved seeing Beau with her bike and in her coordinating birthday dress. Happy 5th! Cam also keeping up with his bike, and Scout's coos and her amazing little smile were wonderful. Spencer and Kenzie really have made a beautiful life.

[@nancygreen217]

Love seeing the dog Bear, I had one looked just like him also named Bear! Love seeing the kids playing and interactions with each other & parents❤️

[@oldgrayghost]

After all these episodes, that silly little giggle is still the best part! LOL!

[@Suchshamefulpromotion]

That is one happy baby. What a beautiful smile. Kudos to the parents!!!!!

[@moseshunja1792]

You started as almost clueless and now you are Dad and Mum, film makers, welder, engineer, builders, painters and so much more. I truly enjoy following your evolution and God bless you in this new year.

[@Thesecret101-te1lm]

Agree, this time the adjustable solar mount actually works :)

[@lehnhardtdevonek.8479]

Beau is the only one of the kids I can remember. She is the first of course. Beautiful Kiddos!

[@paulamorris4727]

Beau has gotten so tall! I love that Spencer has learned so many skills that allow him to tackle all these creative projects. Great work on the videos, Kenzi!

[@rosemarieclements7880]

Your vedios sure put a smile on my face. You Spencer, Kinzie. Your new baby is sure growing, she held her head up and I saw her pretty face. You sure have a wonderful family. Just like mom and dad they are trying to help you or getting some fun time on there bikes never to far from mom and dad. I truly enjoy your vedios. I feel so much love and joy when you have a new vedio, good to see Bear too. Your are an anamazing couple with an amazing family to learn from you. Until next time ❤

[@diannebrown7938]

I enjoy watching your videos, wish that you had more of them I could watch .

[@davefromfresno]

Nice design. I was wondering where you were going. Lol Looks like it will work great.

[@larrydavidson3402]

Your doing a great job on your tool trailer Spencer.

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

Spencer always have cool ideas. The little ones are so adorable, you two.❤❤❤

[@corricatt]

he's a pig

[@Grannysinthehouse]

Such a beautiful baby girl! I can't believe she has grown so very fast. All of your kids are precious. The parents aren't so bad either. Love your videos.

[@russellwatters5891]

If you're going to build one, build it the way you want it. Great job with the solar power setup, but remember, simple is good. I'm afraid the jostle and bouncing of the trailerwill affect the mounts and panels. I could be wrong. Love ya'll ❤️

[@simonsrbgatesfencing2811]

Cracking vid great job you should convert the barn into the home workshop next with some nice big machines 😀

[@samb5796]

That looks sooooo good the solar panels could also provide shelter or shade to work under so multi purpose too x

[@kerrymcgee6450]

Great job. I would also consider a sway control hitch for that rig.

[@vickiehemb2691]

I love your show so much I always watch it twice it's so good you teach us a lot of things

[@mariemedina8953]

You guys are the best 👍🏽🤗Spencer your baby girl looks just like you 😍 your Entire family is beautiful 🤩 great job guys

[@romlyn99]

Again... a little bit of genius. I would have never of thought of having a split solar array that folds like that. Well done.

[@donnawarmouth9329]

How does Spencer know how to build all of this stuff? Blows my mind every time he comes up with something new.

[@Darth_yoyo]

Years of experience + youtube videos

[@DiannelLaird]

I’m so happy for you two and your growing family. You have built such a beautiful home and now you’re mountain retreat, which is gorgeous by the way. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us.🤗🇨🇦

[@Agrambely]

It's such a beautiful baby all of your children are beautiful. God bless you guys. Enjoy them.

[@jessieodawa]

Looks good great idea! Hi Kenz, you and the babies. Beautiful!

[@stephenkennedy9205]

Great concept and with a vehicle attached to it you could turn it during the day for maximum input. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@puppylove9349]

PLZ, consider a secondary driveway (asap) on your new property, as an emergency escape, in case of FIRES, due to your surroundings its a major Necessity!! 🙏🙏🙏❤

[@sophiaferguson7704]

❤Tats an Excellent idea

[@spsniper1170]

Yes..word..clear the f outta his home space...get rid of as many trees as possible..that what destroyed pacific palisades..not only winds but trees n brush catching on fire an spreading embers..especially palm trees..they became Roman candles of hell....

[@sandrafletcher60]

Hi from Australia.. Sending love from Australia.. I always enjoy your video,s. Thank you for sharing.. xx xxx ❤..

[@TrueCrimeJeanne]

I love how you guys keep thinking of more projects! Love hearing the baby at the beginning. Btw, another name for the trailer .. the baby maker! Y'all rawk! 🌸☮️💜

[@Tjaa333]

Are you serious, the baby maker? 🤣

[@walk4718]

Dude; great design and fabrication. I thought it pretty sketchy until you did the pull-up. That’s gonna be an amazing portable shop 👍

[@MrSuzukiyamaha]

You’re living off of your old content. The substance and the continuity has left the building.

[@cherylpritchard1873]

Nothing ceases to amaze me of the many talents you have Spencer your workshop is coming along so we'll I loved seeing bear just sitting watching what was going on he is adorable 🥰🌹

[@LarryTaylor-l5m]

It looks very professional in the video.

[@meelusine]

So impressed by Spencer's ability !!! Is there anything he can’t imagine, figure out and build ?

[@beresfordthompson1370]

It is amazing to me how you guys come up with all these elaborate ideas and make them work. Such skilled, intelligent and wonderful family. Best channel ever.

[@ld5714]

After Kinzie fought off her fly attack she started summing up (at 10:32) exactly what I was thinking at the time 😊 I loved all the sound effects she offered in this one 😉 Spencer, I have always been amazed with your talent and creativity. You problem solve and always come up with a solution and execute it very well. Your workmanship is awesome. I can really relate as I too tend to be a perfectionist 😉 Have a blessed week and I'll see you on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@wendyswild8356]

Great job Spencer and love your thoughtful process! (I’m a Welder - so, I really appreciate this project).

[@spsniper1170]

I know. Bro has skillz

[@Mrsunshine1234]

Thank you for the update. I'm always bummed waiting two to three weeks for an update.

[@adamking6646]

So I was wondering where to get your steal roof structure, always like getting ideas from watching your different projects. Keep up the good work 😊😊

[@stevethelander221]

Another great vid , kids are growing up … I have a question , how did you secure that carport to the ground ? A big wind would pick it up ? Hello from Sydney Australia 😊

[@stargirlofantares9053]

That’s gonna be some serious solar array for the cargo trailer. Should be able to power most anything. Spenser gets very serious about tilting his solar arrays to maximize efficiency!! I remember the hours (days/weeks) it took to get the array in the yard built! He definitely puts in the extra effort!! Scout is so adorable!!! Happy baby!!! Chubby cheeks! Love your family! From NW Oregon with ♥️ Jess

[@Mounty621]

Fantastic design and building, Spencer!

[@joanlenhard82]

Spencer you have a made a very splendid work shop with solar attached. What a great addition to your property on the home in the forest. The children are growing so beautfully

[@laurenmallon4963]

Been watching you guys from the start, you two are an amazing couple....with an amazing awesome family !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sufyaankriel9241]

A couple of questions about the build: 1. I can't remember if I asked this last week or not, but did you consider raising the roof 2 feet so that you can stand inside? 2. I assume that you are taking a generator along. Will you be placing a weatherproof outlet outside so that you can plug the generator in, and power some outlets? I'm thinking in case the weather is bad and the solar isn't charging enough, or there's high winds and deploying the panels is risky. 3. Are you doing the wrap-around awning so Kenz's Corner is outside?? 🤣🤣🤣 4. Future project question. When will you do the barn so that you can have a proper workshop at home, and you don't have to work outside? It obviously has to be big enough and high enough for you to do things like work on the RV or the trailer or the car. All the best!!

[@Darth_yoyo]

Well he could do that, but it will be expensive, isn't worth it. Better is to get a taller trailer etc etc

[@sufyaankriel9241]

@ That might be true, but you don't get much content if you do that... building it, however.... that's a whole 2... maybe 3 episodes worth 😁👍

[@juliesmith7444]

So fascinating to see your projects come to life. On thing for sure, you two make beautiful babies. All three kids are so precious !

[@dustindowling8301]

It might look really cool to wrap the cargo trailer with a Life Uncontained wrap.

[@TheSuccessfulEmerald]

It's a joy to watch all the skills that Spencer has developed over the years!

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Are you 2 thinking about a "car port" for the property? Would be a nice place for the picknick table and the kids to have shade and protection from rain. So will you be putting solar at the property also? Nice job. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.

[@kathleenneith1288]

Your an adorable and amazing woman-mother-wife not to mention hilarious ‼️🙏🏻🥰🤩

[@johnkirby6547]

Good job Spencer 👏 and love your design, keep on going 👍. You have the best assistants ❤

[@donnalearn]

The quality of your work is so much better than most other sites. Glad for your family. Congratulations!

[@mlm7598]

You two are so genius at all these awesome things you come up with! Love watching your ideas come to fruition. Right on! How can Scout be so big already. I can't believe how big all the kids are. Seems like yesterday you were cutting a hole in the well building or catching the rain and moving the big bins into place. Mercy, time is flying by! Awesome idea on catching the sun and putting the trailer to use in that way and for the other items Spence wants to include for it. Right on!! Blessings

[@Lmasso1]

Well you're the prettiest assistant I've seen. Go Spencer

[@jamesjustice859]

Cool design. I thought you put the solar panels on the side and made a covered work area on the side of the trailer

[@Markovanbaston]

I've watched you guys for years and love seeing the video notification come up on my phone. I really like this project as its very interesting to know how your going to do work up in the mountains and by seeing what you guys are doing with that trailer makes total sense. It's portable, big enough for all the tools and building equipment you need and solar power generating which allows you to work anywhere on the property. What a great idea to reperpose something that might just stayed parked up for years getting rusty, rotten. Love the idea.

[@smokielonesome9464]

You both are such a sweet couple. Your children are super awesome. Wich you all the best. God Bless you❤❤ Your Sense of Humor catches me every time Greetings from Germany 🎉

[@tracyeaves1084]

Happy new year 🎆🎊🎈 to you guys

[@thompsonjsaf]

Two things pop out from this video. What other KZbinr channel can you tune to and hear "there is definitely a fly part in my eye" and the second one is the kids are growing up thinking it's normal to talk to cameras :) Love this and you guys have an awesome family. Keep doing it.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Love the way you explain stuff, can’t say I understand any of it, but it sure sounds good!

[@mauricepowers3804]

Paint the roof with that white paint that keeps the interior from becoming an oven. Good job y'all!!❤

[@stargirlofantares9053]

I think you mean Tropicool. Not sure of the spelling. Commonly used on the top of Skoolies. 💕

[@gilbertmercado462]

Great job Spender can't wait to see it finished and working. Until the next time be safe and prosper.

[@teresawoodruff1170]

This old WVA fella absolutely love you all. Thanks so much for letting me hang out with you and your beautiful little family. ❤

[@danielfoster6451]

Great idea on the batwing !!

[@springgee9763]

Every video is just pure gold. Thanks for sharing!

[@kayeprescott8228]

The baby and her brother have their daddy’s beautiful eyes. Bear looks just like her mother. A beautiful couple have beautiful children.

[@DKBarie]

A quick heads-up: I would not drive your CR-V at night until you polish the headlights back to clear. They are very heavily oxidized which seriously reduces their effectiveness. Safety first.

[@kajrolfsson6163]

Hello. I follow with great joy. And patiently waiting for your new film. That's one thing that got me interested. A very quirky thing that I would love to buy. And it is in your latest film when you fix the car trailer with solar cells. What I fell for were the electric pistons that you bought. I don't know what they are called and where I found them. Where did you buy them? And what are they called? I myself live in Sweden. Thanks for reply. Kaj Rolfsson

[@old-wise-one4473]

Spencer - I would add a DC take off so you can plug the panels into your homes set. If I remember correctly you had a tough time one year which is when you added the additional panels. Having a way to collect more sunlight when it’s cold or when the heat is high you need AC could be useful.

[@valfunk4669]

Awesome job with the solar panels!!!

[@chipprice1174]

Run some unistrut front to back , There's a lot of stress on the thin top and sides. Adding some unistrut length ways on top and on the sides, will help sand which and spread the load/stress. I'm also hoping you are gonna caulk the bolts. Oh and wondering what type of tie down system you are gonna use? I can already tell, thi is going to be a really nice mobil work station.

[@willlyons569]

A word of caution how you connect all of the panels together. Just like shade, the least producing panel will cause a reduced output on the other panels. Best way is to have 2 strings. One for the four pointing in the same direction and another for the 2 that are independent

[@AdamofCA.]

i did not know that. Thanks.

[@lauravitola6868]

You never cease to amaze me on how clever you both are. The best job that you are constantly doing is raising your children to get along with each other so wonderfully well. I can see love growing in all of you for each other. Another great job finished with each other's help working together.

[@LouBailey-r5f]

nice fabrication been watching your channel from the start now you have lovely children mine are grown up and 2 of my grandchildren also life is nothing without them industrial electrician now retired watching from uk

[@sharongiesbrecht8417]

Fantastic seeing it all come together. It's so interesting. I love watching. Baby sure has grown and is so happy.

[@dianamercado9306]

You should think about building a little playground for the children. That would be a great addition.

[@rml5126]

Yes, I love that idea!!!

[@thejudgemeister]

Interesting build as usual. If you guys are interested in getting a little more clearance under the carport, there is another way to brace it without having the braces running low from one side to the other. The people who built my carport offered a different option. You can put shorter stainless steel braces near the top leg posts to the rafters at an angle then from one side of the rafters to the other just under the peak. That type of bracing allows me to get taller vehicles under the carport and it shouldn't be a difficult modification.

[@visionoftruth6860]

I feel like a video with Spencer explaining where he learnt how to do all the construction bits and pieces would be a good resource for anyone else learning similar... like best youtube channels for teaching those sorts of things or courses etc... just a thought! Would make a useful video for a rainy day!

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

Greetings!! Stay safe & warm!! Maybe I hate get up there on the top and sit on it?

[@beverlyt.5526]

I've always loved how The Two Of You are so playful ❤❤. Never lose that ❤!!!

[@sadie4me2]

Good job as usual. The baby is getting so big and he looks so happy and adorable.

[@karenbrest187]

Hello Family 🤗 Spencer, you are so good @ figuring things out👌 Kenzie, love your 😂 you're children are so adorable 🥰 Take care 🙏🇺🇲❤️

[@soulmanm12954]

Have you considered wind loading/gusting when in the deployed position! Expensive lesson on my end with a “deployed” 550W panel - even though I had designed and installed for wind gusts! Just so happened a “dust devil” went through and lifted the panel to over-extension and destroyed it!!! Hopefully you’ve over-engineered as you often have so it doesn’t become an issue for you!! All the best, keep the builds coming, be safe!

[@SSdancwme]

You’re amazing with your building skills!

[@tonycummings5427]

Spencer, that's a cool idea on the solar panel bracelets I like the arms you used. Looking forward to seeing more. Give Beau and cam and Scout a big hug for me and tell Bear and Io I said hi. God bless you all.

[@smb7984]

Just to let you know, io passed away. It was very hard on them. They only spoke about it once. ❤️🙏😎

[@patbarron3482]

I used a trailer for tool storage while I was clearing my property, got tired of loading and unloading the truck and forgetting a tool I needed. It worked well.

[@ronaldfox5840]

Hello I like the idea of putting solar panels on the roof of your mobile shop.BUT what is your idea for stabilizing the shop trailer to the ground when the wind hits the side of that trailer when it is parked?? I Would hate to see that box trailer laying on its side.

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

I can’t get over the muscles Spencer has developed over the years……he didn’t have these when he was a ‘server’ in a restaurant chain 🤣😂😅

[@Satya2btrue]

Very buff! Kenz, you can have some fun with this comment. ❤

[@watahyahknow]

should try the weight of some of those plates full of food they need to carry around

[@docholliday5439]

Especially the muscle he used creating his three kids......... That's known as Kenzie's Muscle! 😊😂🙄🤔

[@peterking1134]

Spencer is very snacky !

[@angiesappracone1478]

I saw a video a few days ago It’s when the two shipping crates arrived he looked so very different

[@jrnamida5470]

Nice job, can;t wait to see it moved to new location and providing solar power for new projects...

[@YesBlessed]

I’m super stoked so the finished trailer!! Can’t wait for the batteries to be hooked up!!

[@michaellove9831]

Looking good Spencer ! A portable potty, add a TV and microwave plus fridge ? You'll really be ready to support "work" he he ! I bet you could sell a few of these to contractor's in your area too ! How many batteries will you need for this system's solar array to balance electrical loads ? It might actually be beneficial to have a constant draw like a mini fridge, or cooling fans/heaters...

[@northrupjr5]

Dude! You've become a full-fledged fabricator. I started watching right before you got spray foam done in your container. Well done.

[@maryalmeida765]

your babies are so adorable, thanks for sharing them with us, bear's so cute love the show🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@dugfriendly]

I love seeing Bear over the years ❤

[@deborahpinkey1264]

Awwww. I was hoping we would see this project to completion. But oh well . . . Maybe next time. BTW, I miss the scene of your little beginning family sitting on the dock with Bear. I know! You lost the footage. And now the dock is gone. But at least we still have the closing music - which I hate hearing because it always comes too soon! Love you guys! Keep smiling!

[@EvaAliceD]

As good as it sounds yes it is oh no I don’t want you to be over already ❤I love this family they are so cool and awesome getting about their daily business! I love they way they look at each other so much love and us til the end of time 😊

[@catherinecroker283]

Well thought out plans - multiple purpose!!!! Excellent

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Guys, I'm always impressed with Spencers construction skills, Thanks for sharing

[@obleter]

This was a great idea a work trailer with it’s own power. I love watching your videos they are inspiring and entertaining, keep them coming.
