Awesome design on garage. Love the screened in porch and the way you connected it to create a mud room between the house and garage. Lot's of exterior doors and it's nice to have them on each side for sure. Another beautiful and fantastic build for sure. Thank you for sharing this video I loved it. God's blessings.

I enjoy watching all of your videos ,Ken. Good job too ! Keep up the great work . God bless

Glad I live in a rural area where you have enough land to add on to your house. My kids have a 25 foot lot in the city. I couldn't live like that.

It's amazing that you do projects like this so inexpensively...Great crew too! I couldn't touch that for less than 50K ... Hold onto those guys for dear life...They're like hens teeth where I'm at...Too many Young people seem to not want to work these days...Keep up the good work!

Another terrific video, with great work and excellent narration.

I've heard horror stories of builders ripping off customers, so refreshing to see a builder start to finish a quality job. I really enjoy your videos, prices don't seem too bad either.

Being a born and raised New Englander , miss building up there , we ... my fiancé and I reside in Florida now been down here about 11 years I work for a local builder here and you wouldn’t believe the amount of metal hardware we have to install on a wood framed house AND the amount of inspections to build a house ...... seems like it takes forever to build a house ..... great watching your videos.. ya make it look easy !!

Love the porch on this one.

Hi Kens: You are a professor teacher, very well organized.my greatly pleasure of knowing you.

Ken, Did you say high winds? In my town in Ontario we had not had a tornado for over 50 years then we had 2 within 6 months. The most vivid image from my neighbourhood was a house built in the 1970s where the roof trusses were still held firmly in place by hurricane anchors but the plywood roof sheathing had blown off! I believe in those days the minimum code was 3/8 plywood with 2 inch nails.

Hey Ken, I love the videos, you mentioned using the transit for out in the center of the slab. We do the same as well. You have much more experience than me, but if you take the receiver and put it right onto the rake handle a foot or so up for the bottom,, and set the laser base lower to the ground, you can totally negate the need for a story pole. One less thing to have to hold onto when the mud is flowing. Makes good rakers perfect and bad takes good. Just a thought! Thanks for the videos.

Nice job

if someone walks out to the front edge of that roof, over the rake, what holds them ?? Love the condensed video.

Always like your videos. Informative without being overdone. There's always some neat little trick I learn. Today it was the cutting the facia on the peak. I do have a question: Do you worry too much about the direction you lap your roofing? I always thought it was supposed to lap away from the approach angle. Just a little thing, but one my old man insists on. Either way, your projects always come together slick and look great.

Hi Ken, Love your videos. We have a cabin in northern Michigan and are trying to figure out an addition. Its going to be 24X24 slab great room off the rear of the existing ranch home. The gable of the addition will be a reverse gable. The problem we are having is that with a 4/12 pitch on the cabin, what roof pitch am I going to need to accommodate a loft above the great room? I simply want to be able to put a bedroom above the main floor which will overlook the bottom floor. When I tie the new roof into the existing roof, I'm worried about the curb appeal. Thanks!

I like that

Hi Ken, I love the new video edits. Glad to see you're always striving to improve all your products (not that I didn't throughly enjoy the original garage build video). My father is a recently retired union carpenter from the Chicagoland area. Growing up I spent a lot of time on jobs lending my energy, muscle and good joints. As a result, I have a lot of respect and admiration for trades and related small businesses. He spent 1978-2008 framing and triming custom homes in the suburbs, and then transitioned to commercial work in Chicago after the financial crisis. I was graduating high school during the financial crisis, so I assumed construction was too risky of a career for me (id say i was wrong about that lol)--I ended up a tax accountant, about as safe and cushy as it gets lol. I now do a lot of tax, bookkeeping, and advisory work for small business construction companies and their owners. Seeing how comfortably my father is retiring, compared to many peoples personal financial situations i see in my work, gives me more respect for the trade the and value of those skills. I often wonder if I would have had enjoyed following my father in the trades, and then after some time, starting a business like yourself. Id love to hear more about your career experience, and the development of your products and your business. Watching your videos is something my dad and I enjoy doing together, so thanks for sharing!

Looks good Ken, as usual. Have a good day and stay safe.

We do the rakes different down here in Houston. I understand that the stud is nailed into the T-111 and that holds it to the wall but what supports the weight of the rake itself? Does it just hang from the roof sheathing that is cantilevered off of the side wall? This rake in particular seems very wide. Great videos sir....Greetings from Texas....John B.

It’s really strong almost like a truss itself. Nailed through the roof plywood into the rake and nailed into the wall.

I love your presentation. Looking at the truces I can only think, wow, look at that storage space. Is there a good way to utilize that area? Is the side porch going to be screened in? I built in a screen porch for a historical home built in 1908. I had to build everything as if it were in 1908 because the homeowner was part of a city tour and got a tax break, so any improvements had to done by strict guidelines. Came out pretty good by a skinny white girl.
