Nice work! Very efficient building methods. I'd like to see more of how you finish it out with electrical, heating, insulation, and the rear deck addition. I would call this a "Carriage house" as opposed to a garage. This would be a nice way to add a rental apartment to a residential home site. Thanks

wow that is beautiful.. . I wouldn't put in the garage door, I would add two sets of French patio doors instead and then I would absolutely LIVE IN THIS building... wow..

Watching this reminds me of working with my grand pa. We built two gambrel roofed style barns. Great job and Thank you for the memories.

Kens crew does good work, I sould know been a union carpenter for 32yrs. First time that I watched. The sugestions and coments are inquisitive , I am shur they would like a little more feed back than just a; / Thanks.

i was looking for a good video like this for a while now . Really great solution for a living space with a big garage. Great work !

Thanks for the video. I am starting the thinking process of doing a 24' deep by 30' wide detached garage with an ADU above. I'll have a separate dedicated entrance for the ADU. I just haven't decided if I go a simple gable or perhaps a clerestory roof design.

I always enjoy your video's. Good job boy!

Hey Ken, My first time commenting. Love watching your videos, the length of your videos are perfect for a morning coffee and your content is precise and to the point, NO DRAMA, just a little humor now and then, thanks for that. I have many questions but that would take all morning and 10 cups of coffee. I don't know if you have a video of your tool trailer? if not, do you think it could be of any value or maybe just entertainment? Any how, great work, and have a great day. Stay safe.

The very last thing you should do is put the railing on the stairs, you will need every inch of clearance to get appliances and furniture up that staircase.

Ken just subscribed after coming over from Lumnah Acres. Watching in UK. No damp proof course under the concrete slab? Would be required by UK building regulations. Very interesting so see how other folks do things. Great work and attention to detail.

If you have a 9 ft wide garage door, would you make the rough opening 9 ft and use the 1 1/2" trim boards to overlap the edges of the garage door?

People worry about the silliest things. If they are going to break in, they are going to break in. The best way to go? Through the wall with a sawsall.

My only thought is if you intend to have a deck off the back, would it not be better to have the access stairs to go via the deck rather than inside? It would give a little more floor space and leave the entire garage area seperate, particularly good if the garage and the apartment are rented out separately or used by different people. if I understand correctly, that would mean turning some other area into an egress, right?
