Excellent build! I like how you keep a neat work site and how you make sure that you hand over to the customer a spotlessly clean product. So many carpenters leave a mess while they are working and after the job too. I have a rule that at the end of each day, no matter how tired I am, that I sort out all my tools, sweep up and leave the workplace neat. It makes it so much more enjoyable to arrive for a day's work into a clean space with everything laid out for the day ahead. I have worked many different jobs, carpentry just one of them, but with carpentry in particular, cleaning up at all stages of the job are essential. Well done!

Watched several of you videos now and they are great. Just simple down to earth videos and you don’t beat around the bush with price. Love it. Wish you were around NE Tennessee I’m shopping for a building now

Ken I love the work you and your crew do. Well thought out and pre built walls made at your shop. It looks like a nice career you made for yourself. You make it look easy. Keep the videos coming.

What an amazing view! This is my favorite style of garage you build Ken, nice work!

Hey Ken, Thanks for sharing. Love the videos and the views in this one. Vermont is a beautiful state and I’m glad I was able to vacation there a few times over the years. Wish I’d started my career working for you. I “build on paper” these days but my heart has always been in the field.

Hi Ken. By watching your KZfaq videos. I was able to build my own gambrel garage. I did a couple of things my own way, ( horrible costly mistakes). Lol. But all in all turned out great. I’m almost done. Will send pics after complete. Thank you so much from Houston TX.

I would never get tired of looking at that view from the second floor. Million dollar view. Reminds me of SW Washington state my home.

#175 -> truly outstanding! This particular design (model) is exactly what I’d give anything to pay for and have built. Excellent job by you & your crew!

I really enjoy all of your different videos .This one looks very good, but the sound went away as the video progressed I watched a different video and the sound worked very good. Keep up the good work. I loved to build when I was able.Your videos bring back the memories. Thank you

Excellent project, great craftsmen on this job. Hard to find contractors like this today! Thanks for all your efforts! Also, that garage has a million dollar view, great site!

You're a good man, Ken, and a great carpenter! Thanks for sharing. God bless you and yours, brother!

I really love that you include what the cost was for the customer. This really helps people make a decision to pull the trigger on if they want to spend that money and have someone build a garage. Especially because, I find that your prices are reasonable. Your work looks like a master tradesman quality. While others will charge up to $10k more and for what, supposed quality with no proof. You show your work by making these videos. You give confidence to your customers. Therefore, we thank you!

You and your projects are a testimony to a work ethic and pride in the results. Thanks, Ken

hey Ken - finally saw the side of your trailer, and recognized the area code, then - even better, recognized the town. My dad was from West Glover, and his father built homes in and around the area from the 30's (perhaps earlier, but not much) through the 60's. Many of those homes are three season camps around Lake Parker, Crystal Lake, Lake Willoughby and others. Also built the town hall in Glover (I think that was pre WW2, and was still in use when I last visited 10-ish years ago). Dad took up some of those skills, - he built the dorms at the Craftsbury Nordic Ski Center when he was at UVM in the early 60's - and passed some of the skills and my grandfather's tools to me. I haven't worked in the trades for 10-12 years, but I sure do like watching you do this, and living vicariously through your work.

Nice build. You guys are pros ! Thank you for sharing.👍😎

Love this. Thanks for the ideas. And you're a good Dad, too!

Thank you for your video. The fact you put the price in the title made me subscribe Instantly. You make this look so easy. 👌

have watched a number of your videos. excellent work. If i lived in your area i would certainly be recommending you and your team.

Great work. By the way, my ladder lift is working really well - thanks for the inspiration.

Great job. And a beautiful view!

Chad is worth his weight in GOLD. I think you need to give him a raise and a nice bonus. All your team are fantastic. I enjoy your videos very much. Best to you and yours.

great work . Enjoy your video. Thanks . i am in Maine. . I see your in Vermont, Beautiful Country

Excellent work! Garage looks great! Nice & roomy.

Great job. My favorite construction show

i really like how you utilize machinery to make life easier on you and your crew!!!

I'm a California Contractor retired. I love watching your videos. Great work! Only problem I have is these videos make me miss my job even more. Need an experienced old guy?

So glad you used the good version of Bach's C-Major Prelude, instead of the other one with the missing measure!

Just found your Chanel!.... retired carpenter here. Enjoying your videos

I hope the space between the roof and the wall at the second floor will be save for storage ... great job Sir !

Good looking "dirt" rich loamy soil !

I cant give you enough credit for your Quality of Workmanship

I remember framing in winter.. putting house wrap up by myself on a gable end with a ladder. Guy I worked for was a pain lol

These guys do some amazing work

Great work! I want to build one just like this vid but put it on a half basement (storm shelter) ....Tornadoes here in the mid west suck...literally!!! One garage door and the rest living quarters...

I like your lift - the guys helping you, seem to be on the ball.

Nice garage! Very close to what I'd like to build.

love the music and the view

Great build sir Ken.

Very good!! Congratiulations!!

Awesome build Ken!

You are extremely good at your craft. Its pretty clear even to a laymen like me.

Ken you sure do get some pretty sweet views in the background

I couldn't get an 'Amish" shed like that with flatwork for $42K! Wish you served Virginia!

Great music . Thank you.

i build garages and barns like this, id love to do this for myself one day, i love building walls

good work thanks very help full

A 2nd story dormer on each side would have really set it off and provided another 200sf.

Absolutely great job! You sure make it look easy. Thank you for sharing & teaching.

Very nice build.

Thanks for sharing 👍

I love this design. Totally worth $42000

I love this garage.

Ken, your videos are awesome!

Good video thank you for sharing

I sure wish i could hire you to build my dream garage/shop!

Wow ken you are the best .Beautiful house nice God bless you men💪🏻🖐👏👏👏👏🇵🇷

Nicely Done Great View

I wish there was a contractor like you in Rapid City, SD...

Love it. Thank you.

when you pour the floors are they level or do they pitch toward the door?

Great job.

LOOKING GOOD

Thats a beauty 👍

Great video 👍👍

Wow this is great. Just bought a house in Barnet. I will be building a barn /garage. The price of lumber is high right now . where do you get your lumber from ? Thank you for all your videos.

Great job, I liked it a lot 👏🏽 Just left it like 👍🏾

Ken I never thought building garages were going to be so addictive 🤭. Love your videos do you build off grid apartment with a 3’ height or on post? Not sure how to describe it

Did it also include the concrete slab in the price you have in the title?

You make it look so easy!

Now this one is nice. Thumbs Up !

That storage room above sure gets a heck of a view

I like how almost everything is pre assembled in a dry, closed environment!

Ken, I guess ,I can say , after watching your video, s , you are a virtuoso, in the building trade!

I owe my neighbor for helping me to Dr and hospital visits . Asked if I'd design a 2 car garage with a bonus room addition .. I always explain to those I design for .. Design is 3 steps if not 4 .. One is the idea , Then a rough draft , check for engineering ,then back to the customer for revisions and changes ..then compress them and check again for engineering and aesthetics . Then final .. I created a masterpiece " as usual " 700 sq ft garage and 500 sq ft bonus room with multiple window shed dormers and some neat things I know with 40 years experience .. Found some great deals on doors .. One of the oddest was a 14' insulated 6 light garage door for 800 bucks .. told the homeowners .. That is not standard and 2 SUV's won't slip by ... unless you have a Mini Cooper .. Probably the deal was ..Someone ordered it and the sales couldn't rid of it since it was a 14 ..The entire project was $15,000.00 and I told them ..This is a $75,000 addition if you had to pay someone .. So we pulled it off for $15 a sq ft !!! .. I generally won't even build a deck for that much on the weekend ..

I was watching you on the roof and appreciate that you wear a harness. I'm wondering how far above the ground you stop if you fall off?

I find your videos informative and entertaining. You should do some detailed how to videos too.

Fantastic ... come down to "Boston" and build me a few ...

Wish you guys are in Pacific Northwest.

one of the best

Nice work. The audio could be better though.

Why do you use plywood on the upstairs floor and the roof instead of OSB?

Super!❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love the design of the gambrel! Are these designs able to be purchased? Are they engineer stamped? Looks awesome!

Hi Ken --- I've never seen someone preframe the walls and bring them to the site. I like the idea. Do you use a computer program to lay out the various sections? Do you only use the top plate to h old the sections together or do you scab a small piece over the joint on the sill plate too? Why block on this garage but not others? Fun to watch you guys work. Thanks.

Hey Ken I'm in the process of renovating a house could I do a roof like this on a 24' wide house

Nice view.

You are a wood master...✌

Great job. Do you guys travel out of state to build structures? An could you ship the wood, framing, roofing to an out of state location? Meaning if someone was willing to pay would you travel?

I like the upstairs space obviously - But is this style of roof good for the floor below because the roof's weight-bearing wall transfers all of its weight on the vertical wall which is resting on the floor joists below?

Why are there a few cinder blocks missing under the back wall?

This was a year ago. I wonder how much it would cost now ?

I’m sooooo jealous of this build. Wish I had this garage.

I saw you put that eagle eye on the top plate. Good framer right there.

Ken wonderful job, just curious and maybe someone else already asked the question but can I do this same idea and turn it into a House? I’m thinking the upstairs could Ben. Used for bedrooms and the downstairs living room laundry and kitchen and such. I currently own my house but want to buy land in the country and do this. Any thoughts or Comments are appreciated. Have a wonderful day.

Gr8 Work..., all duh Time. Gr8 Gr8 Worꓘ

Wondering, are these your own designs or are they made from stamped plans? You do a nice job with the work going very smoothly. Thanks, JIM

I could live there n park my race car downstairs you built the ultimate man cave is all lol !!!!!!!

Looks great Ken How much is that this year 55k? You do great work wish you did work in maine. I'd have you build me one.

What is the biggest gambrel garage you've built? What do you estimate it cost to build? (with or without living space)

I have a dumb question. Could one go longer and wider, say 32 wide 48 or 50 in depth, using ten or 12 inch floor trussed floor joists on the upper level?
