The younger guys on this project are lucky to have a skilled and honest tradesman like this to work for. They will never be out of work if they follow his lead and his apparent honesty.

Ken seems like a really good guy. Just a genuine fella that loves what he does for a living. I hope business is going well for him despite the increase in material costs.

Many of the best days of my life were spent working construction with my dad and brother both in town and out of state. "Do whatever it takes to get the job done." was instilled in me by my dad because we had to get done regardless of the problem. I still get that, "I built that.", feeling 40 years later when I happen to drive by a job I haven't passed in a while. Thanks for sharing your work. It brought back fond memories for me.

I started my 25' x 30' garage on may 1st spent about $3k on all the framing siding and roof metal and materials. Finished it about middle of June. That does not include slab or roll up doors but all other materials. I went to the lumber store to get a few things middle of July and prices for all materials had risen by 30 to 70%. Looks like I won't be doing any more projects for a while. It's ridiculous.

Thanks, Ken. You should be very proud - you do nice work!

Older man working rings around that youngster. Well done sir!

Demand for housing has not diminished due to this 2020 Covid Pandemic, the demand has infact risen, but lumber mills had to shutdown for a bit at the height of the pandemic. Supply and Demand Economics has shot lumber prices through the proverbial roof. Trade War issues have increase nails and screw prices too. This equates to higher material cost prices for the build. Will the prices go down when things level out? Only time will tell. Great looking garage. Love the attention to quality.

Love how efficiently you and ur crew work together..beautiful work men!

After doing concrete my whole life, I am glad to see Ken doing it exactly right. It is so easy for someone to add too much water (weakening the strength) just to make it easier to pour. Ken poured this slab at a perfect slump. He did not cut corners to make it easier or cheaper. My hat is off to you and your company Ken. I learned a lot in 35 years, but I sure don't miss it ! Thanks for the great video Ken !
