I remodeled an entire bathroom in my house just by watching YT videos. I already had an electrical background (although it was low voltage, EET major) but taught myself how to wire my entire bathroom; GCFI, potlights, vanity light, timer switch to a blower fan. Taught myself structural repair because I had rotted out floor joists. Taught myself plumbing; repositioned the shower, toilet and the sink. Taught myself how to mud drywall. Taught myself how to do tile. Taught myself how to do wainscotting. Yes I messed up A LOT, yes it took me 4 months for a 75 sq ft bathroom, but it still came out close to $15k cheaper than I was quoted (that was w/o them knowing about the structural damage.) aannnnddd i have the satisfaction of knowing I did it myself. I'm now watching garage building videos because that's my next project. We literally have the entirety of human knowledge at the tips of our fingers and carry it around in our pocket.

Ken makes construction look so easy; I enjoy watching a craftsman at work. Merry Christmas!

Well done! And for those that didn’t see, PUT UP SHEATHING RIGHT AWAY!!!! 99.9% of framing disasters come from not getting sheathing up asap. Amazing how much strength a building gets from the plywood sheathing

As I was watching this. I had questions in my head. As soon as they popped into my head, they got answered. It was like you were reading my mind. 100% a fan now.

A straightforward and informative video. Appreciate the lack of crap music and good camera angles

Good video. I live in the Chicago area and I had a garage built in 1976 and it had a couple of features that I liked that I don’t see you incorporating in your garages. They are…..raising the concrete around the perimeter so when you park in the garage in the winter, the bottom plate doesn’t get wet, the other is using a 2x6 as a top plate for the rafters. This garage was built with 16” centers for walls and 24” centers for rafters 2x6 & 2x8 in corners, hip roof. The garage is 47 years old and in great condition. Thanks…Jim

Good morning. Nice to see you are getting us some footage to watch while it is so cold and nasty outside. Christmas is so close. See ya soon on another build.

The world needs to be full of people like you Ken

Crawling up and down on those ladders and that roofing as “an old guy” is pretty amazing.

Very nice, Ken! I learned two framing tips that will come in handy 'on the farm' here. You've got some strong boys just tossing those CDX sheets up on the roof - wow! Coffee's on me next time you're in the West Leb area.

I am glad you have some fall footage to share it takes my mind off the flurries that are falling today and temperatures that are hovering below freezing 😂I am so glad I got yesterday’s slush of the driveway sidewalk and parking area .it was about 45 minutes of sneaky exercise 😂🎉

That garage is seriously nice enough to live in! Wish a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and living room, I would be absolutely set.

Good morning from Southern Indiana. A good video of Ken and Krew building a garage. Hope everyone has a great week and a wonder filled Christmas.

Well done Ken. Very informative. God bless you Sir. Take care. Ron

Amazing how the prices for materials has gone thru the roof. I built a 24 x 24 garage in 2001 for 7,500. Great video - I enjoyed this!

That is beautiful workmanship, sir. Thank you for sharing.

Great , job Ken! Thank you, for an educational experience! I learn so much, on each and every , one of your video, s. One thousand roofs, put up by yourself and your crews, in your life time!Quite an accomplishment.You have earned every penny of it.A pretty good system!🙂👌 Have a terrific 🎄 Christmas! Thank you, for your Grace, Lord!

Merry Christmas Ken. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your time with family. 😊

I enjoy watching your enthusiasm, but please note that if you were to show every detail of how the lumber is cut and measure , an award will be grant to you by the viewers.. best of luck. God Bless

Great work. Really enjoy these videos. Thanks from CT

I am impressed with your skills and your helpers I enjoy your videos It makes me wanna get back into building again

I’ve been thinking about the ladder lift. Nice work, I still like to see shingles’s thanks for bringing us along.

wish I could get you down to the Manchester, NH area!! Nice work Ken!

Roofing is like going on vacation!!!!! Did you really just say that. 😂 Having a guy pass shingle helps alot. We go 6 nails per shingle per manufacturer. Looks great!!

I would love something like this in my backyard. Just renovated my 12x12 shed last summer with my brother, and this is litterally 4x the size of mine. I wish i had taken out the rotten floor completely and built a cement pad instead to put it on but i was out oftime. Also, i was amazed at how you just pivoted those roof trusses 180 on themselves in order to put em up, genius. So simple... but i would never have thought of it hehe

I didn’t see how (or if) you attached the sill plate of the framing to the concrete. Is that not necessary where you are? Fantastic job of filming and clear and to-the-point narration. You should be a teacher of construction as well. I also noticed what looked like the owner helping you out as simple laborer. If so, I applaud you for recruiting his help. Thank you.

I wish you were in Florida! I would love for you to build for me!!! Great job, great attitude and good workmanship/practices! Peace from Daytona Beach and a very Merry Christmas!

Ken I know you realize that you have a really goooood crew. Where's the kid, I enjoy watching you guys teach him the trade. Love your videos.

aaaaaaah🤔 Where's the snow?😄 Y'all make it look so easy Mr. Ken😁👍👍

World class for your work.

I like cathedral style roof trusses . Makes garage seem larger and makes room for a car lift

Another great video! I really enjoy these! I would love to see how you guys install the soffits. Keep up the good work!

❤️ Love your work and your videos. To the point and quick videos! Thank you Ken. ( saw you on Lumnah job)

Watching from Wisconsin, great work!

High skill jerniman job. And very responsible

What $28000!!, I just got a quote for 140,000 for similar garage in bc canada, but insulated r28.

Nice job!. I came across your video doing a search for garage ideas. I am cutting some of my own lumber to cut costs. I cut 2 or 3 boards or 2x4 each day. I figure by spring/summer I have enough to do half '. lol I have chainsaw mill

Clean and tight. Nice.

28 k is what I paid for a three bedroom, two bath house with a detached two car garage. Yeah, it was 1974.

The new improved Ken has a much slimmer waist than the old Ken in this video.

Enjoyed watching your work , it sort of de mystified building a garage, which is great timing as I am just starting my build . Concrete is done just waiting for timber delivery . I am using 117mm x 47mm , nearly 4x2 , for all studs and roof joists . Ridge beam is 200mm x 80 so slightly different to your specs . 7M X 6M size . thank you for all the tips .

Crazy I built mine from a home depot kit on a cement slab for 15000 complete in 2007

This is nice roofing. And worth it

Amazing work by men that show pride in their work.👍

well that's a nice looking garage you got there...guess I will have to tax you more for improving your property and the neighborhood

Hmm. Not once did I see a level being used or bracing on the walls before they went up to keep them square. It came out looking great tho. Nice video.

Looks good as always. God bless

I love watching this so much!

It would be great for you to do a live feed and invite the guys for a get to know you video in the off season. We don’t know anything about the guys! Merry Christmas to you and the guys.

My Respects, you are a hard working man

Im impressed that arthritis didn’t stop Ken a long time ago like its killin me at 45 years old general contracting for 22 years. Anyways, the only thing I’ve seen in Cleveland, Ohio area is the sill plate resting above the pad on a curb. So they form the pad to have a sill curb to keep the framing above puddles or snow. Anyways great work and what’s your secret Ken where’s the fountain of youth buddy? Lol

I wish there was someone like you in eastern Pennsylvania, you do a great and fair priced job , I would definitely hire you to build me a 2 car garage 👍

28K is a pipe dream here in Phoenix, AZ. That is a 75k-80k easy here.

Great job, looks awesome !

good job and nice video

Nice work

Awesome job Guys

You seem like a pleasure to work with.

Happy New Year Ken! Hope it all comes together for another year of videos from you. 🍻

Beautiful job 👏

Great video ken 😊

Wowzer, nice numbers.

amazing job Ken as always wow wish you merry chritsmas and happy new year

I like the video, I like the quality, but 28k? The cost of materials has skyrocketed. I remember a structure like this use to cost 7500.

i love this ...... great video.....

Ken, I just recently started watching your channel. Great work. I have a question, maybe you've covered it before, but how are you securing the walls to the foundation? I haven't seen anything in the few videos I've watched.

I was surprised how wobbly the walls were, even when you were applying the sheathing. At what point did you make sure everything was plumb?

Looks Good Ken I have contractors building me the same style now just finished cement slab I should have used the content lol

Merry Christmas.

So efficient!

Looks amazing

Nice..I must have missed the bolting down of the plate to concrete

nice work sir!🙂

Wow!! Built a garage in less than 30 minutes.

Nice work 🎉 May I ask the difference in cost between that vinyl siding vs clap lap in wood or composite? And what would the difficulty be in the trusses being open in the middle with them higher to allow for an upper room? Great videos!!

“Kinda like going on vacation when shingling a roof” “well bud you can come and vacation at my house, I will not charge you”.

Great work as usual

Wonder if you could publish a materials list?

hey ken what you didn't show us was how to connect and secured the whole structure to the concrete slab

I wish contractors in my neck of the woods had the same attitude about shingling a roof as you do. Nobody wants to do it and the few pros that will do it want me to pay for their brand new Lamborghini.

Ken…..GREAT…. but “I love doing shingles, it’s like going on vacation”…..You are crazy but in a good way🤷‍♂️😊

love it thank you for sharing!!

Enjoyed the video. Question: When you say $28,000, what do you mean? Is that a turnkey price that you are doing this job for? Or is that just materials? And I noticed that all the walls were already nailed together, either by you off camera or is that a kit? Where I am, I seriously doubt that I could buy the materials for $28k. Appreciate the info. If you answer, maybe consider adding this info to the description. Nice work, brother.

Good work

Looks great! I'm assuming $28,000 is how much you charged the client to do this job. How much do you think it would cost somebody to do this themselves, including concrete and all the materials? assuming the person already has all the proper tools as well.

Hello Ken, I enjoy watching your channel. You and. Crew know your stuff. Could you give a little more description on materials and methods. I am a novice! Thanks

looks nice! if you were doing a metal roof, do you sheet it first or run perlins across or?

Those are actually higher grade garage doors. Good job.

Good video: What might be the reason for the wall sheeting hanging down lower then the treated wood, looks to be about 1".

Outstanding

Metal roof and Hardie plank siding.

That was fast

You're a pro, and I'm not 2nd guessing you, but you never showed how you fastened the wall framing to the garage floor. It didn't look like you used bolts, how so did you do it?

Just wondering you did square your walls and brace them off before you put your OSB up just asking

Nice, not a fan of the smaller garage doors, a single larger door is better for in and out with vehicles.

For an old boy he did well

Do you ever put rain gutters and down spouts on your garages? Or is that up to the owner to get someone else in for that?

Great video! Is $28000 what you charged to build this for a customer or what it costed for you to build your own?

Same garage in Seattle would be $200k easily. Nice work!

How much profit did you make off this job? How much was the cost of the lumber?
