This is more impressive and commendable than any of the "youtube famous" house tours. This is something you can be genuinely proud of.

“I’m still not a rich man.” After five years, your well-being is far more richer than most in the industrialized world. Jolly good show mate!

You said near the end of the video: "I didn't start a rich man, and I'm still not a rich man." I humbly beg to differ: you are rich in intelligence and have a rich imagination. You are also rich in that you have a partner in this world. What you have built together is incredible. I have much admiration for you both! Cheers

I don't think yall even truly understand just how IMPRESSIVE this is!!!! You sir are a Legend.

“Im not a rich man” To be fair, you are richer than many of us. You own land and you are basically self sustainable. You have the tools and the skills to be independent from capitalism. Anything else is excess. You are truly rich ❤️

Thank you for showing us your lovely, one-of-a-kind, hand-built homestead. You are a true craftsman! As humble as you are intelligent. Bravo, my friend!

What struck me first was your humility. Then it was your absolute genius and intelligence. Then it was your ability to get so much done in five years, (which most people wouldn't accomplish in twenty)! I am still gobsmacked and in awe that you have managed to do so much in so little time! Please tell me - when exactly do you get time to sleep and do you have any down time to relax!? My goodness! You must work around-the-clock to accomplish so much! You have shown many of us that what most people would regard as impossible, is actually possible. I commend you and I please ask you to keep posting for us all, so we can learn from you and to also inspire us to do better. You a legend my friend and I would love to see your place one day and lend a hand if I am able. I am from Wales originally, so it would be my back yard that I would be coming home to. Would be an honour and a pleasure to help and to learn from you! Serious offer by the way so just let me know! I'll send my hubby round to help you too as he would love to learn from you. Warmest wishes and every hope for your future success!

When a video starts with “I thought that it’d be nice to show all the things I have built…” yk its worth it.

Just found this channel - Son, you are a damn rocket scientist; I'm 65 years old and extremely impressed with your ambition and skill - well done.

This man is an inspiration without being preachy or cheesy.

There are things a Man is meant to do, you have certainly accomplished things. Well done sir!

I often saw your suggested video on my list, and I passed it by, thinking "another one making log houses to entertain bored people like me". Of log houses, nothing at all. You have made a world, to your measure, a beautiful and cosy world, and also well-thought-out, functional, and it has been a real pleasure to be able to visit it in your company. Thanks for showing it to us.

This is so impressive

As a contractor with 35 years of experience I want you to know how impressed I am with your abilities and craftsmanship. You are a very intelligent and gifted young man. I was floored with with your ability.

As i watched this i could hear my annoying neighbour talking loudly on his phone with his irritating voice, you are blessed my friend, great choice of lifestyle.

If ever I'm stuck on a desert island I want this guy with me. Excellent video and well done.👍👍👍

The fact that you've done most of this on your own is incredible.

To see a man, take it back to the simpler things in life, is so refreshing to see. This man could fill his day with meaningful things. Building another room, cultivating his garden, constructing a workshop. AND ALL BY HIMSELF. You my friend are an inspiration for what I believe we need back in today's day and age

I like people who walk it like they talk it.

Its absolutely insane how one man can just build a whole ass functioning compound all by himself, the expertise and effort needed is just insane

This literally impresses me 100x more than billionaire this is literally a breath of fresh air

I remember when I watched you building this and now after five years you’ve done amazing, this is my dream to do this and I hope I get the chance to do this before I die, well done dude 👍👊

Comment from Queensland, Australia. Kris (and Dot) are the types of self-reliant, self-motivated pioneering spirits that enhance the human race. His industry, focus and determination to make something is beautiful to watch. I can only only hope that they are happy together and take pleasure in his (their) accomplishments. Make no error it is hard work and the rewards are coming. Well done.

The ability of this man is beyond anyone I've ever seen. If the world gonna end, the only survivor will be him

I have always fantasized about living like this. The house looks very easy to sleep in. I’d love to drink hot tea and watch rain hit the window. Incredible craftsmanship

Love your videos! I'd say you are a rich man, rich in skills and quality of life. Can only dream of what you've achieved. Love all the projects especially the micro-hydro, workshops, and band mill! Looking forward to more vids on the barn. I have Welsh ancestry so love seeing the Welsh county side as I am an NZer living in Aussie. My folks used to have a small 20 Acre block back in NZ, the joys of splitting wood nothing beats it :). Thanks for sharing some of your life, much appreciated!

I actually feel love for you as a person as I watch this! You are so intelligent, clever, ambitious and humble! Amazing! May God Bless you and your loved ones!

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that after I built all these amazing structures all over my land; built a sawmill; put up a mile of fencing; built a 500-meter long road with quarry stone; installed a hydro-electric power system for everything, I realized I had some spare time on my hands and planted 2,500 trees." Ah, to be a young man again with an imaginative mind and a strong body to make it all happen. Well done, lad. You are an inspiration to us all, especially to those of us whose left hand has always held a hammer and the right one a sharp saw. Beautiful job and lovely presentation. Cheers!

I honestly believe deep down inside all of us want and desire to live this way. This is how life is supposed to be lived. In peace. Blessings be with you!

Your micro-hydro set-up is wonderful. And I love that your workshop is bigger and more elaborate than your house. :)

One of the most beautiful houses ever. Your skills & tenacity are astounding. Thank you for posting.

" I'm not a rich man " - riches aren't measured in coins, they are measured by the value you put into yourself, your work, your craftsmanship and your love for nature. God has blessed you with immeasurable riches!

There's something about this guy's voice that is so relaxing and easy to listen to.

What a delightful, ambitious young man. You could, easily, offer classes to others of likemind! Thank you for sharing!

Dude's a genius. Much respect for all he's done. Love from America.

'Living the dream' is a phrase oft used to describe opulent, wasteful living. This is much closer to the mark for me. Amazing job, I can see how proud you are, and you really should be.

You’re a rockstar, dude. People dream of this stuff, and you’re living it.

I couldn’t explain how amazing all this is. To be able to look back on all you’ve built when your older and to be able to live and enjoy it all with somebody, literally living the dream.

Amazing...watched from new Zealand 🇳🇿 self sufficient!

you're an absolute genius, this is what living is all about!!!!!

I feel as though I was with you through the whole journey, I'm about to hit a five year mark myself. Unfortunately, or fortunately as it were, mine is five years cancer free. You know the thing that sucked the most going through chemo/radiation is that you are always tired but rarely sleepy. As a consequence, just making it through the day can be pure torture. I have no words to convey how valuable your videos were to help me get through a ridiculously bad time. I very much enjoyed and looked forward to your videos. So congrats and thanks mate for your work through the years!!!

Incredible. The craftmanship and creative heart into your projects is very admired.

Thanks for running through this. It must have taken an incredible amount of determined effort from you and your other half which is so admirable! More power to you!

Kris is the kind of man that having just one conversation with him will change your entire life and make you become who you want to be. Very impressive and admirable work.

"So this is my personal hydroelectric plant, which i've built using only hand tools and some garbage i found in the woods" Dude's a master lol

I first watch you a few years ago when you had only just started and were talking about the cob round house you built. You’ve done so much since then! You’re a superb craftsman and I wish you continued success with your hydro business 🙂

This is wonderful. I am lying sick in bed and thoroughly enjoyed stumbling across this. Thank you for sharing, Kris. Truly amazing!

My God you get younger by the day - the benefits of physical labour and self determination. A modern day John Seymour. Power to your elbow - you are a credit to humanity.

I'll never understand a person who would thumbs down a video like this. Pure enjoyment to see your handy work. glad it came up in my feed.

Спасибо за видео. Вы возвращаете в веру в человечество. Смотрела на одном дыхании. Как путешествие в машине времени . Кто не смотрел, всем приятного просмотра. Очень интересно и полезно.

Thanks for the inspiration , I've stepped up my carpentry game even after 35 years , you've managed to help me ..I really appreciate your show. Matthew , Oregon, USA

"Simple as that!" This is mind blowing and dude is so humble he doesn't even realize that he is a genius and an incredibly hard worker!

I'm really blown away by how much you've accomplished within just 5 years. And it comes from a contractor/carpenter I've been for 14 years. Another thing that blows me away is your modesty. You are a truly inspiring human being!

I remember watching you build you're house now 7 years ago, you have come such along way well done total respect to you.

Amazingly gifted. Well done Mr Harbour.

"not a rich man" he says, perhaps not monetarily, but I'm sure he knows how wealthy he actually is to be his own self made man, family, and have what he's made. So impressive and skilled.

It's almost seems as if this man doesn't even have the word "procrastinate" in his vocabulary... the most impressive thing i've seen in my life thus far! Edit: Spelling

This guy completed one of the ultimate quests of life.

Appreciate your openness and honesty, great to watch.

i think you've cracked stress free living, still in the rat race myself , but now i'm older i can really appreciate how you live, i think it looks fantastic well done fella

I'm an older lady now. I didn't realize that what you've built is exactly what my life has needed all these years of living on the grid. Looking at your video has been therapeutic for me to say the very least. If I could turn back the hands of time...what you have is what I'd pray for. What a beautiful, peaceful, blessing.🙏🏾

You’re soooooo smart!!!! Wow! You’re literally living the dream!

i could not possibly be more impressed, but I’m in awe that you were brave enough to do it. fantastic!

Dudes skills are off the charts. The buildings look whimsical and beautiful

As someone who doesn’t necessarily care for the whole “survival” “off the grid” lifestyle. This is impressive as hell. Good work brotha

I watched this with my daughter who absolutely loved this! We are doing projects to encourage sustainable living at home and came across your video. Thank you so much for sharing!

It's not to often I'm so impressed that I'm literally blown away, but you are such a multi-talented remarkable man. Thank you for sharing this. Wow

Sir, I have absolutely no idea how I can be proud of a complete stranger, yet I am proud of you & ALL of your accomplishments. You are the epitome of DIY (do it yourself)....what you have created is just AWESOME!!!! 👍

A nice reminder of all the effort and planning that went into the last 5 years, Kris - you're looking more relaxed and confident than I've ever seen you.

Truly incredible! I have no words. It takes so much skill and dedication to learn how to do all this as you go. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

I must say, BRAVO man for building this.

This is my dream in life. Once my son is old enough to live on his own I'm gonna sell everything and head to the mountains. I'm already harvesting and canning 90% of my meat and 50% of my vegetables. This is truly inspiring

Well done. This definitely feels like a more human way to live.

This is the most inspiring project ive ever seen on youtube. This is the dreams of my childhood come to life, Im in so much awe of the scope of the projects you have done. Not only that, but everything looks beautiful! Great stuff man

You have built a small community by your own hand. I am beyond impressed. Good stuff.

At first I was thinking - "wow, impressive building", and then he gets to his shed, then the hydroelectric generator, then the workshop, greenhouse, it just keeps getting more and more impressive. Oh, and btw, 'here's the sawmill I made to mill all my wood', haha! Extremely nicely done. You've got a huge amount of skill and drive. Enjoy your life!

Gosh, this guy has done more in 5 years than most do in a lifetime!

Small family living sustainably for 5 years with the house you built yourself, with a lovely and humorous presentation, wishing your family life to always be strong and peaceful.

I’ve not long been a subscriber, but regret not seeing your videos sooner! Well done on all your hard work- I love the reciprocal roof construction of your home and workshop especially. I was mesmerised by the recent sawing vids as well- some great honest work with impressive results. I didn’t realise how much could be saved given the current timber prices. Be proud of all you’ve made- there need to be more honest, modest people like you who genuinely inspire those who believe in some more earthly & honest ways of living. Cheers to you and your knowledge, and your decision to share with us.

Incredible I wish we could all live like this again instead of just feeling like a worthless cog in a giant machine. Just amazing and totally inspiring stuff.

So humble and kind hearted when you said "They need facilities, so I built them a shower, compost toilet, and other utilities." Is there anything you can't do?

Well done young man. You are an inspiration.

WELL DONE! So impressive and beautiful. I so admire your self awareness and determination and bravery.

A humble guy with incredible talent! Very refreshing in this crazy world.

This is beyond amazing. You’re living life to the best of nature’s capability, while I’m out here learning Tik Tok dances. I’m gonna rethink my life. Thank you for the video.

Never heard of this channel and didn't know what to expect. But after watching this video, damn, color me impressed. From the hydro electric, to the workshop, to the greenhouse, and the shower. A lot of ingenuity, a lot of planning, a lot of patience, and a hella lot of skills. Hats off to you my friend, appreciate you showcasing your work, can't wait to see more...

Your work is so beautiful and amazing. I realize this has taken 5 years but you look like you have it made. I feel very happy for you and wish you continued happiness and success.

so impressive. This guy could literally start his own community

Thank god there are people like yourself, who can show us, what is achievable, with some dedication and hard work .. very inspiring

Wow! I just stumbled upon this and all I have is awe and admiration for you! What an amazing set up. I'm working on my own ideas at the moment in very early stages. I'm just inspired!!! When I get down or frustrated at working to my goals I can now focus on your success to keep me going. Thank you for being YOU!! ❤

We need more people like you for the society. Bravo

Only four minutes in but it’s good to see a young man with this kind of spirit. I hope he inspires a movement because we need many more like him.

Just plain impressive! A brave endeavor that clearly works and life changing. Balance in action while the rest of the world consumes ever available resource.

Thank you Kris & Dot for showing us your home. You are are a very talented man who has put his mind to make something & you have achieved a miracle in 5 years so you obviously have put the work in . I also am an old lady but love to see what talents other people have .wish you success in everything & love. cheers joan

You, sir, are an absolute legend! Mother Earth needs more humans like you.

You walked inside and I damn near cried from how bad I realized that this is truly what I want in life. Congratulations

I'm jealous of anyone seeing this for the first time and has all those build videos to now watch!

This is incredible!! Can't even comprehend all of this work. Such a clever bloke.

You are a very resourceful young man

If Richard Hammond had a son who was raised by James May, this would be him. Positive attitude combined with old school manly skills. Impressive!! I'm subscribing!!
