When ever I want to watch a great video Ken I come to your channel. I have dabbled in building for over 50 years building houses, garages and out buildings I am not a carpenter in fact I was in law enforcement but always found a great deal of satisfaction building. Great video's by a great guy, keep it up.

As the younger generation say. You've got the skills to pay the bills lol. Another fine build. You know why I enjoy your videos? Because you're an honest man with an honest company doing real construction work . I can't tell you how many crooks we have here in the greater Houston, Texas area that take good folks for granted and never complete a job. Especially after a bad hurricane. God bless you and your crew for being stand up guys and doing a thorough job time in and time out even if it's snowing

Greetings from northern California! Lydonville, Vermont brings back memories. February 1971, my school played the Lydon State ice hockey squad. We defeated them 5 to 2 and I scored my first hat trick. I played nearly the entire game switching from right wing to right defense and played on the power play and penalty killing team. The Lydon team played their games in a large quonset hut with natural ice. It was a nice facility and a lovely school. Only played hockey there once. Haven't been in Vermont since 1993. Also played Lydon in soccer four times, twice in Lydonville, twice I played GK. We alwzys defeated them in soccer. Always liked Vermont. I went to school in neighboring New Hampshire. I don't miss the snow. It was 88 degrees today.

Kens Karpentry lol, I do that all the time these days Ken. Theres tools out here I’ve used almost 40 years now and I go to talk to someone and suddenly I can’t remember the name for those retractable measuring sticks we clip on our belts and I’ve got a whole truck of them and I like using the red ones cause I can see it better if I set it down and don’t clip it back on my belt. It sure sucks getting older brother!! And it’s not just tools but I also have trouble with names and all kinds of things. I have to set tools down in one central spot every time otherwise I’ve just lost them for the next couple hours! Lol!!. And you and I have got to be close to the same age, I’ll be 56 next Thursday which is entirely too young to be having these issues damn it!! Well, take care Ken and be safe out there Brother!! I hope your memory loss isn’t as bad as mine is so far cause this absolutely sucks!!!!! 😤🤪🤬😜 LoL

Here's one for you I have never seen, but used on my house..instead of toenailing the plate like you did to keep it on the line...use some duct strap...screw it to the subfloor or tapcon to slab and bend up onto the plate and nail/screw...when you are done...cut loose with grinder from the inside...you will have absolute zero change/positive hold to your plate location. Also, how do you like those simpson joist spacers...I didn't like them at first, but used them on my recent garage...great for solo working!

Awesome job!

Stair building seems to be a science all it's own. Wondering if sometime if you could do just a detail video on how to measure, for any step height, and run. Beautiful work, if I was younger I'd volunteer to just be an intern. Nothing like hands on learning.

Wow I’m putting up a similar size attached garage, with a mud room and farmers porch. Custom build design house quoted me 125k! 🤦‍♂️ Working with another custom builder and is at 80k and we will do all the finish work ourselves. I’ve got the funding in place but have decided to hold off till next spring hoping materials prices will come back down by then.

I know that if you go looking for Ken on one of his jobs, that he will be the one at the highest point. I like that as he and his crew worked on it, it became a platform to work on the upper level, at least until the metal roofing required some to go on top of the roof. He is reminding folks to like and subscribe, too. I suppose some parts and doors, etc., have been delayed due to precautions at suppliers because of distancing issues. Ken's crew, they all know what to do.
