That guy is a smooth talker. No delayed umms uhhs just consists coherent speech. Builds nice buildings to👍🏻

[@auntnanny5420]

You should check out his channel

[@MartinMosman]

Very cool tour. He really loves his work making those structures; you can tell by his demeanor as he was explaining the different structures. Another good video Jon, thanks!

[@Mosa-166]

I love wooden houses, they are warm in winter, cold in summer, environment friendly, relaxing and peaceful. Nice video! Thanks.

[@holdemNE1]

From dog houses to a company that employees 50 people. That is just an incredible journey with brilliant vision leading the way.

[@embeaston]

I’ve been eyeing these guys kits for a while. Cool you got to see their operation.

[@TrainFlood]

Wow this guy’s products are amazing. And he’s incredibly smart. Glad for his success.

[@briantomas4889]

[@fredguldbrandsen2723]

I have a Vt Cottage 8x10 shed. I'm very happy with it. I ended up moving it about 50' recently.

[@husky500cr]

I love story like this. I know a guy who lost his job and didn't know what to do and rent was due. He was taking out the trash and notice a pile of cardboard next to the trash can and got an idea. He made a handy man available sign he posted outside his apartment. Now he owns his own successful construction company.

[@jonmackey1160]

I work at Jamaica cottage shop I saw you that day and I follow your channel. I was the guy with the red beard lol. I'm a carpenter there

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That's awesome Matt...thanks for tuning in

[@adventureguy4119]

Are the building worth buying do they last

[@ensen89]

This was inspiring. There is just one thing I don't like about those buildings. I prefer nice big roof overhangs all the way around to give the walls a better rain protection. You obviesly can not keep them totally dry if there is wind with the rain but it helps.

[@papasteph3226]

I love the Jamaica Cottage shop videos. I am out in Idaho and am planning for one of the pre-cut kits for my dream one day. I would love to see a time lapse of the building of one of the Vermont cabins.

[@kyjoe]

Search youtube for Lumnah Acres. He does a very in depth video series on building one of Jamaica Cottage shops barns.

[@butwereallsombdyspecial]

I can't wait to visit this place 😍♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍♥️😍 this first one is the one I want

[@tcardinal95]

Square pegs are best practice. 👍🏼. Nice homes

[@LarsKiel]

Thanks for another great tour and visit to an interesting place 👍

[@JChamberlin]

Very cool stuff. Dominic has a fascinating business there.

[@zackdreamcast]

Dominic is great. So impressed with building his business from nothing to getting a staff of circa 50ee.

[@ohiomaplin7832]

Love the sugar shacks they build

[@rafer2002]

Good stuff

[@Cradley684]

Great video Jon, that garage one would make an awesome workshop space and all the best with your Vermont projects if you get it going, have a nice day !!! Brian UK .

[@theanimalmuppet]

Awesome tour, Jon. Thanks for the good videos.

[@healing2gether]

Another great video John!! Wow, Dominic what beautiful work you do, and a natural in front of the camera! Lots of love from NE PA!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks!

[@bluecollarmark]

This guys terrific. Will do business with this guy in a few years from know.

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

Would love to see a tiny house/cottage/cabin build with all the Jon Peters details when complete. You mentioned septic at the end of the video. If it's possible for you and yours to go with a composting toilet, I'd highly recommend it, for sustainability, as well as cost. For grey water, look into filtered discharge. Also, if you have adequate exposure on your property, I'd highly suggest a solar and battery system with mostly DC for lighting, charging electronics, even some appliances (TV, fridge/freezer, etc.), and an inverter for the occasional AC load, such as a microwave. If your property has any creeks or streams, you could also look into micro-hydro. With a 2 micron filter, potentially with additional carbon filtration for taste, you could even supply fresh and portable water for the structure. Done carefully, you could have a very comfy off-grid getaway with little to no operating costs!

[@rolfbjorn9937]

Running on DC is not more efficient, requires more amperage and larger wires for the same load. It's dependent on voltage, but turning solar/battery to high voltage DC may not be the best plan. Running a refrigerator/freezer requires 600-2000 Watts of power.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Great input John...thanks!

[@sapelesteve]

Really interesting tour Jon. Gotta admire Dominic for the way he started small & wound up with a business like that employing 50 people. IF you do decide to go that rout, I'd suggest putting in an oversized septic system that way if you want to add more living space later on you won't have to do all of that work over & have to pull more permits, etc.. etc.. Been there done that. I mentioned this in one of your other videos and suggested that you also look at Modular homes from various companies in Canada. The prices are really good because of the exchange rate between the U.S. & Canada. The nice thing about modulars is that all you have to do is the septic, foundation & site work. Once they drop the modular in place & you hook up the electric, etc.. you can move right in with no other work to do. I know that you probably don't want to go that rout but just thought that I would mention it...........Good luck no matter what you decide & I can't wait for follow up on this project that I hope happens for you................. :)

[@tericarter2019]

I like the interior and exterior

[@jakecarter2414]

I hope it all works out for you Jon. That would be amazing.

[@cleokey]

Interesting, thanks! ☺

[@kennethbarton5129]

Cute as a damn button haaaa 👍🏾👍👍🏿👍🏻👍🏼

[@robinthiessen7947]

What was the name of the first building that you showed?I am so impressed with your knowledge and your thought for the strict building codes throughout the country. And just your passion that clearly shows you want to put out an excellent product can you do that

[@BaronKen]

Some observations and experiences. First, if you expect nice fitting laps/joints, etc., prepare to be disappointed. An example from the video is at 7:40. Boards twist/bend/etc. as they dry. Bear in mind that that lap joint is intended to show after the walls are insulated/finished. If you have an OCD spouse (or you yourself just can't stand the ill-fitting look), you won't like it. Also, their tolerances on cutting leave a lot to be desired. They do point out that there are variances in dimensions by up to 1/2". That is ok for the most part, but can be a HUGE pain in the rear for others. An example is the 'bird blocking' boards that go between the rafters at the wall to prevent birds from entering. If you are only concerned with keeping birds out, they work fine. But since rafters can be skinnier by up to 1/2", that can lead to a bird blocking board that is 1" (1/2" for each rafter) too short. Not good for bug-proofing! This could have been satisfactorily resolved if they had provided the bird blocking boards 1" too long and I could have cut them to exact length, but instead, I had to buy new boards locally to cut them to fit. Not a huge expense, but basically the boards provided by them were unused. Don't get me wrong, I like the building, but it's not all as neat and tidy as it seems. ;)

[@ek9772]

Nice wood work. I wonder if they combine straw bales for insulation with their wood work.

[@captainpegs0740]

He seems like a decent person and I like the designs. I wonder how much to ship to MN?

[@BOBW805]

Very enjoyable

[@CIPStudios]

Nice job Jon...

[@rickytv24]

watching Nov. 10,2018 Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

[@tericarter2019]

if this building needs to come apart can I have it please? it is beautiful with the blueprints I have for another build we are working towards(we are serious)

[@paulf1177]

So Jon did you get a timber frame from Jamaica Cottages? Your library looks helpful but I did not see anything on a cabin project at a quick glance. Thanks

[@robertfeliciano5723]

Good video. But the first thing I noticed about the cabin is the water damage near the floor at 0:52.

[@JamaicaCottageShop]

It was raining pretty good through out this shoot. Was a very wet day.

[@FilamentFriday]

Interesting tour but I never saw the thumbnail building. Did I miss it?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

It’s at the end

[@alexmorton8659]

Would you build a unit in Tasmania, Australia, or pre, build stack and send?

[@MrBubbajohnson1]

Jon, how much does that 20x30 go for as is? Thanks great video. Hope you build it,you deserve it!

[@adventureguy4119]

MrBubbajohnson1 40k

[@vaultsjan]

I am a little worried about the gaps on braces - braces do the work on compression, not tension, this requires good bearing surface.

[@giovannipetitti1588]

Share 👍

[@mainlawcafewv7681]

Very rare to see this, this guy really knows his business and product. Bootstrapped from nothing and builds what sells. Even Ford and General Motors lack smarts this good.

[@michaelsrowland]

Who designes the buildings

[@ryanaracich5279]

How much is this model today

[@MarceloAndrade-eo8rc]

Q Deus abençoe jon

[@ek9772]

Avoid the septic expense, and place a composting toilet.

[@adventureguy4119]

E K illegal across the bored here

[@ek9772]

THE GUY sorry to hear.

[@jamessullivan9992]

more overhang higher ground clearance.

[@mikethomas116]

How much?

[@onceANexile]

How much is that?

[@noeluisbarrantesvarela9474]

poque estas casas no tienen el alero mas anpio o largo

[@jperello001]

Does this company make any profits selling these buildings? If so, that is so disappointing because we need Vermont to be the first socialist state, to see if it works.
