REDO CAPE STYLE Garage Start to Finish about $35,000

[@timothyurbanski3011]

Ken, I stumbled on your channel by accident and after just watching one video I subscribed immediately. I’m an electrical engineer by degree but spent a good part of my younger years in construction building houses and garages too. I want to say Thank You for showcasing your trade to all of us. I am very picky about who I watch. I don’t like folks that talk too much and your commentary is perfect! As a matter of fact I learned something on the first video. I never knew you could hinge the 2nd floor walls with “toe nailing”. That was really cool. We used to scraps on the face to assist with raising 2nd story walls. You make me want to come to Vermont and build with you just to learn more. Thanks Sir. -Tim (Melbourne, Fla.)

What I really like about this video...is the veteran kept his young muscle safe...in this video most times the muscle was on solid and reinforced footing, using the ladder hoist prevented them from using the job as a workout...my veterans were different...in my business it was called job safety...and people get hurt if you trust them to make the best decision for you...the only flaw I saw was the vet letting go of the wall as saying I'm letting go 2 steps away....but he know his staff.

[@andrewfrodo2086]

Who needs a level for plume..... leaning tower of piza.... and the lazy guy. Always a pleasure Ken seeing the videos! ;)

[@Lqx.MM2]

I like how you eliminated the ridge with the plywood gusset and metal connector for the rafters. It sure saves a lot of time and cost.

[@greeneracre1151]

Loved the video and learned a thing or two. Thank you, and I would add, sandwich a 2x4 between the stair stringer and the stud walls to allow for wall finish materials to be installed without notching around the stair treads. The drywallers and finish carpenters would appreciate it.

[@kenskarpentry]

Nice thanks for watching

[@mtadams2009]

So much knowledge, decades of experience and it shows. Your young crew are very fortunate to learn from such and experienced teacher. Looks great. Take care.

[@lintonmeyer]

Great video Ken. Wish we had someone like you here in Ontario.

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@barrybrownson9083]

Wow, so nice to see someone who clearly cares about his craft, customers and the final product. Wish Ken was here is Alberta. He would be getting a call from me. Build videos are strangely captivating. My sat morning routine, coffee, tidy kitchen, and a few garage vids with Ken. Have a good one Ken.

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha thanks for watching

[@markhowes126]

Gotta love those 3 and a half inch targets when nailing down plywood! Even i couldn't miss.

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha true

[@theeasternfront6436]

You’ve never seen me with a nail gun!!

[@alexdanke133]

Always enjoy your videos. They are so calming and peaceful!

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@leemason4024]

I remember when I built my 12-12 pitch house, mostly by myself, starting the roof sheeting by sending it out between the rafters like your crew does... except it was a windy day and I started to become airborne. I let go just as my feet started to leave the deck... scary! it never occurred to me to put the paper on from the inside too, as I went. Very smart/clever, Ken.

[@AmericanPatriot-cw9xe]

I love all of Kens building videos, I always had a interest in learning to build and Ken explains how to do it simply n easily one step at a time, he is a great builder n teacher, and you can tell he is a easy going very great man, Love the videos Ken ! Thank you !

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@errolwilliams9602]

You are such a peaceful man, love your work. Errol in Jamaica

[@GSC727]

Ken, you're the straightest talking guy on the internet. Thorough and in plain, easy to understand terminology. I can't believe the cost of lumber now.

[@recepulu7238]

[@d3po455]

Those young men are so lucky to learn from a man like you.

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha

[@k.g.kennedy9471]

[@wallywally7266]

Beautiful and inspiring work that you do, thank you for sharing your knowledge and abilities, it must be very satisfying once you get everything done. 🙏🙏🙏

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks for watching

[@justicebdone]

Ken is legit the Bob Ross of garage constructing!

[@catharticcathexis4527]

“We are going to have a happy little customer here in the corner when we’re all through.” - Ken, probably.

[@mtadams2009]

Spot on.

[@mikedkc]

You are a joy to watch and learn from, Ken. Excellent work.

[@rodrigoro8162]

Very satisfying watching your vids

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@kenmeiner7477]

This is exactly what i have been looking for 24 x 24 Garage. My House is a 8-12 Pitch so i would most likely be doing the roof that Pitch , Fantastic !!

[@kenskarpentry]

Cool thanks for watching

[@anthonygasparini1734]

Nice build would love to see the finished job!

[@darrinrentruc6614]

I like to watch Ken's vids because it proves that an an old dude can out work guys 1/3 his age. Now imagine how fast a garage would go up with fours Kens working on it !!!

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha not really. I’ll have to put the camera on Chad more often

[@ericwescoe7145]

Enjoy your videos and admire your work. Nice as always.

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@NN-lx4mb]

Love this video and how you showed the toe nailing of the upper wall.

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@donbearden1953]

Ken, it looks great. I need a garage but here in AL the contractors want twice as much as you build them for!

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks. Location makes a big difference

[@lqdxoni1]

Same here in Minnesota same garage over 60k 😳

[@tonyg4522]

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks for watching

[@christopherwasko7329]

Yes Ken, real nice view the owners have. You’ve added to the beauty with this new garage build. I hope the shoulder surgery recovery is going well! 👍

Thanks

[@johntillotson4254]

Awesome video

[@ryrodrums6727]

Man, you have so many tricks to make things easier.. My old boss did stuff the hard way. haha

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks it’s coming along

[@fred-san]

Simple, easy, efficient... congrat's.

[@kenweiss4650]

I like the idea of the Alaskan floating slab. Any disadvantages to this?

[@kenskarpentry]

It wouldn’t work near a bank or drop off

[@2breality]

U MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY. Good Job.

[@vivianwilliams2216]

The garage looking very lovely 😍, thanks for sharing a very nice video 📹, 😊👍💕💕💕

[@GCPTALKS]

I love your work, and I can't wait to own an A-frame building one day!

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@hunterscott7592]

I always use liquid nails when I’m screwing in stair treads, just in case, to prevent squeaks

[@michaelboisvert5073]

Always great to see your videos. Thank you

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@vinceveltri7732]

Nice job Ken. I prefer a garage that has a second story storage / utility space. The homeowners have a beautiful "blank" canvas to create anything they want.

[@kenskarpentry]

Yes

[@davykins]

Nice job Ken .

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@azlife4me]

Great video. Thanks for sharing it.

[@kenskarpentry]

[@eugeniosolari]

great video, Ken!!! I found amazing the beams you put on the floor... and for sure the whole work is perfect, also you are lucky to have such quality of wood.

[@luiscahuana9666]

Nice build!!

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@davidfauthsrfauth3244]

great job ken i enjoy watching yourchannel

[@sharlzc2187]

I watch this a thousand times

[@michaelc.3812]

I wish I was as chill as Ken always is. If you have any stress, Ken, one would never know. Just like Thomas Jefferson.

[@lmars5933]

Great video my friend 😎🏖😎🍺

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks for watching

[@inekelassooij840]

Het ziet er weer!! geweldig uit🧐 🤩👍👌Groetjes uit Holland 🥰👋🏼✊

[@DirtBrute]

I live on cape cod . I’m hoping to build a 30x40 garage next year . Great video 👍

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@steveburton5825]

I'd love to see a materials list for this one. I think it's the best garage you've built yet. Hope the shoulder is coming along well for you now. Thanks!

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks it’s doing better

[@thamontgomeryz]

great video. Im actually take measurements today to see the max size garage I can build on my property. Hoping to fit a 20x40 with 12ft ceilings

[@kenskarpentry]

Hope it goes well

[@aannemingsbedrijfjouwhuiss5063]

Well done, Ken.

[@c50ge]

At 33:16 Did anyone notice the kite attached to a pole to protect the garden from critters?

[@jmar5787]

TGIF thanks for sharing Ken!

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@michaelpetty8416]

The woodwork looks great. I have some concerns about that concrete edge. Looks like they waited too long to dress the edge and it dried too quick on them. Great video.

[@fredbloggs2587]

Beautiful work.

[@emiraystrading]

Nice work…congrats

[@leem9886]

Practically a house

[@CarlosMartinez-xv5zd]

Great price for a home!

[@kenmeiner7477]

Great Video !! When Ordering I Beam Floor Joists for this 24 x 24 Garage , What would be the length Measurement for those I Beams ??

[@philmurphy3662]

Really nice job - you've inspired me to build a shed. Thank you.

[@eduardoloyolamoya5774]

Hello Ken ,thanks for your videos and your way of showing your exellent work,from patagonia argentina, i would like to have more information about the osb joists , becouse they do not exist here, i do not if you make them buy them made, and how thick is the osb and how deep are they on the sides , thank you very much and a big hug and take care of yourself and continue making these videos that are very inspiring and educating

[@mh-tn3ic]

Can you show it again with the siding on?

[@zdenektrmal2342]

greetings from Czech republic

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks for watching

[@nyeguy88]

Great job, I'm beginning to build the same style house and this video is very helpful

[@kenskarpentry]

Nice hope it goes well

[@njblanco10]

Could I bother you for a materials list on a build like this? Thanks for your time, Ken. Your a great craftsmen, and your instruction gives a minimally experienced guy like myself hope.

[@kenskarpentry]

Sorry I don’t have a formal list. A local lumber yard could do that for you

[@michelbissonnette8793]

Yes nice built...im from Canada...would have been a great opportunity to compare final cost

[@brandonbentz1209]

Awesome. Satisfying to watch. Awesome job.

[@manual2002]

Good job

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@SybbieCreations]

Enjoyed watching.

[@jackl2853]

Ken, do all stairwells have to be parallel the joists? How would you workout ones that are perpendicular? Thanks Great work.

[@johnsee7269]

I enjoy these videos for my future DIY aspirations and the no nonsense presentation. The absence of political statements and general positive attitude you have. There's enough negativity out there/here. Oh, and the good poetry and hammer juggling; lol! (framing square...)

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha thanks for watching

[@duketran62]

Very nice work. Thanks.

[@goriverman]

You guy do great work, love the metal roof

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks

[@CW1116]

I love watching how you do every aspect of construction. It's easy to see that you have been at this trade for many years and have probably run into most things that you know little tricks for. My brother in law (a carpenter) taught me about the toenailing trick of wall raising when on an upper floor. While watching you install the long stair stringers it appears that you put the stringer tight up against the studs. Doesn't that make it harder for the home owner or the interior finisher to install insulation, vapor barrier and sheet rock or whatever they want for interior finishing?

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks. They won’t be finishing off the interior so we didn’t leave the typical space for finish goods

[@MAGAMAN]

That view is amazing. I would definitely want more windows on the 2nd floor.

[@kenskarpentry]

Yes nice view up there

[@931tech4u]

Very nice videos and craftsmanship. I do wonder why 2x4 on the lower walls vs 2x6 considering the upper level? Thanks for your videos ✌

[@doncraig6864]

Ken sound like Owen Wilson describing his "happy little trees"

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha

[@jeremym5762]

Love seeing these building videos, wish you did work in MA too. I don’t suppose you sell garage kits for homeowners to assemble?

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks. Sorry we don’t

[@fakename9024]

I would love to have a door on the second floor that opens to a deck.

[@bobmerrill2057]

Great work !

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks for watching

[@thelostone6981]

15:49 is when your smart @$$ crew slack off! 😂😂 But the photobomb did crack me up.

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha

[@pascalchavanon1930]

Great job🤓🇫🇷
