My word!! That’s going to be one sturdy building! People will be trying to decipher your building techniques hundreds of years from now. You absolutely must sign it and date it in some prominent place, along with those who helped you build it. Your buildings will be a fine legacy if you never do anything else. And we KNOW you’ll do countless other cool things. Cheering you on from across the pond in Tennessee.❤️🤗🐝

A willing 60-yr old is more use than a reluctant 16-year old! 😀 Looking seriously good so far - it just 'sits' in the landscape.

Thank your Mum on my (and our) behalf for raising up such a fine son who has been industrious and innovative for years and has been generously sharing his creative adventures with us. You didn't come from nowhere and I'm sure she is a major factor in the fine man that you are. Gratefully yours....JM

Kris is an example of what this world needs more of! Men with unrelenting determination, knowledge and skill. And what a cadre of skilled friends, workers and helpers to make this build a reality! Great film work and editing to make watching this so enjoyable!

A truly beautiful build .... Very much a joy to follow this channel ... 100% enjoyment !

Every beam a work of art, every joining deserves applause. This is pure mad genius magic!

Top quality content brother! That barn is gonna be one of a kind.

I have so much respect and admiration for what you do and the relationship you have with your cat is just adorable. Love your videos!

Been waiting patiently for the upload, you the man kris, will watch when I’ve got some peace and quiet 🤘🏽

Aaw your mum gonna be so bowled over with surprise. Hope her health is stable throughout her visit.

It’s gorgeous! What a sense of satisfaction you must feel. Thanks for the video.

Remarkable constructing. Well done. Looks sold, amazing joints

Always a pleasure to watch you and the team working; thanks for bringing us along Kris.

Kris, that is looking absolutely fantastic! Every time one of those foot plates hits the center of the concrete posts you poured, I'm amazed at the precision of it all. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sure your Mum will enjoy every minute, in spite of her health issues (sorry to hear about that). Loved seeing the contrast between the workshop and the barn, very different, yet similar! Hats off to you again, soldiering on with an injury, never fun, but as ever thanks so much for sharing your epic endeavours.

I admire you staying to your passion and not overrun by KZread algorithm for content. The need for equipment to quickly raise an honorable stately barn as past generations do! And you honor the skill needed for it from prep, plan, milling, carving and assembling with minimal equipment but knowledge of physics. Fascinating! And.. honorable!

I sit enthralled watching this Kris, lovely craftsmanship and stuff I was very capable of doing when I was your age. Now at seventy-seven I am paying the price for silly things I did in my youth, but I would do it all again and forty years ago I was restoring a big motor sailor for my father. I love the quiet professional way you go about your work, it all looks almost effortless, which I know is not so but my, it is so worth all your and your guys efforts. Pure magic! and thanks for sharing.

Such a satisfying job. Well done. It’s going to be fabulous when finished!

Our hats are off to you. We certainly respect the good ol' ways of the good ol' days .... many skills acquired and hard work which makes us rise above the mere city folk who's life mainly consists of watching tv, playing video games, and going around walking into telephone poles while dinking off on their dumb phones

You : "I can't believe it's all lining up and working properly" Me: "I CAN believe, most certainly! You are so incredibly and awe-inspiringly skilled at building wood structures!" 😅👏👏

I'm very curious about the reaction of your family, Kris. They must be so proud! Keep up the fantastic work you do, it is inspirational!

“Even with a pulled groin…I am a beast!” Hahaha. Love it. Yes sir you are.

Glad to see you recovered mate, have a good weekend with your family, sending happy thoughts.

You said yourself "work smarter not harder", also you are not supposed to work so fast as you make minor mistakes, you are doing so good. Every time I watch you and your helpers all I can think of saying is WOW.

Brilliant work, amazing craftsmanship and engineering. Looking forward to seeing the next video. Hope all is well and hope you have a good weekend, take care

This is beautiful. Great satisfaction watching everything slot in place. Credit to your helpers too. They come across as nice genuine people. I hope you had a wonderful weekend with your family.

Good that your little grey tiger is helping you make this barn. She’ll take possession soon enough 🐈‍⬛💚

Fantastic job Kris- very impressive week’s work- I was afraid u may have injured yourself- glad you are Ok , hope you enjoy your weekend with Family they should be proud of your accomplishments

Wow Kris, what a massive achievement... One "amateur" and two "volunteers?" Wow, great job boys! Really, well done! I hope you're having a lovely time with your family as I type this. Certainly well earned. You must be SO excited to finish up the main frame and start assembling and putting up those trusses. Wow...she's gonna be a beauty!

One of the better series on KZread right now in my opinion. Like old KZread before it was saturated with bullshit influencers.

Chris, I’m running out of words to use to compliment you. You have created (in my opinion) the most pleasing channel on KZread. I learn something every watch. Your humble and personable nature is so very refreshing. We are lucky you have chosen to take us along on this journey.

👍 Killer barn! Glad you're better, while watching you guys lifting those beams it was just a matter of time before something let loose, be safe dude. Nothing wrong with working hard and smart at the same time, especially with health. Down time is worse than taking your time.

Wow Kris watching this barn build in real time is awesome and the time goes so fast. You could never make an uninteresting video...the content speaks for itself. I would definitely want to live in the upper part of that building it would make a fantastic home.🤩🤩🤩

This video was soooo satisfying. It’s amazing to see you overcome engineering challenges - even when you’re battered and bruised. Well done.

Bet your mum is going to be extremely proud, not only have you designed the building, you fabricated all the metal parts, milled and plained all the timber, worked as part of the team that did all the cut outs to your design and now your now building the thing. 👍 You so need to if you can try and lake it easy with the leg, you don't want to have a weakness there. 🤗😎

It's looking better and better as it goes on, the view from the top is good as well... Enjoy your family time Kris, thanks for the upload.

Hope all's going smoothly Kris, love your content, Take it steady, you're building a structure to last centuries, no point rushing the job.

Outstanding work again Kris!

Have a great time with your family Kris. 💞

Super progress week and looking really good even with groin injury! Well done again Kris and team, hope your mum enjoyed her visit. Stay well.

I totally enjoyed your video …. Thank you for taking us along on this journey ❤

Glad you are feeling better Kris, the barn is looking great ! 👍👍💙

Great team work guy’s,what an achievement with limited equipment, cannot wait to see the next stage,good luck…..

Kris, what you are doing, makes people understand the TRUE nature of how everyday people built this world, RESPECT.

Proud to be a patron now since nearly the beginning - this project is massive & the biggest yet but the art that goes into the science and math is astounding- great work! Would love to visit someday. Peace & healing to your mom - carry on. Oh and hello to tiger & Dot. All best, Maria from Louisiana. It’s so hot here now so staying inside wishing I was in Northern Europe at the moment. Lol

Working smarter is ok if you work for yourself. My experience was that even more was expected of me. Just loving watching this build. Birdy

Your mum hasn't seen it since.... Don't worry mate. your mum will be so very, very proud of you and more than impressed with what you've accomplished. As a 55 year old male and parent/grandparent and permaculture "farmer", I can tell you that what you have done since moving from London in ill-health, what you have accomplished so far is very admirable indeed. You are a man who has earned, and deserves a great deal of respect. You are indeed a true and "real" MAN! Even you were my son, I couldn't be more proud of you, what you have have achieved and who you are developing into (i.e. You 2.0 +...). Don't worry about what you mum will think, but put that energy and thought, into the quality of the time you do get to spend with her. You, young man, are indeed, "Worthy"..., as it were. Now..., I would like to mention again, that you and Dot, would find; "Permaculture: A designers manual; by Bill Mollison, would be the best investment you may ever make. Using the principles and methods of Permaculture, your land will be the most bountiful property in Wales with the least amount of maintenance work as well as making it a haven for wild-life. You have a really good start, but this could easily put it way over the top and make your dreams for the land and the local wildlife come true times ten. I want to see you have such abundant food that you have to give it away. Peace, Love and Light my friend!!!

Impressive effort, well done all of you! I can not describe adequately how warm and safe and happy it feels for me to see this beautiful, sustainable, clever building go up - it must be much more so for you! all the best for the next steps!

Tremendous team effort and thought going into raising this with traditional methods, Kris!

CAD design, concrete foundation and steel "feet" arent that traditional, hehe ... but I get what you mean. The feet are going to be an improvement for the longevity of the construction in that kind of a climate.

The temporary floorboards look pretty cool for a barn tbh, chuck a few nails in to stop em moving and you're good. Loved seeing this thing come to life from a CAD model, some proper old school building techniques being brought back to life.

wow-fantastic progress. The phrase of the week surely is „don’t forget the brace !“ 🤣👍🏻

That is one beautiful and big barn Kris. 😊

Excellent work, Kris with your helpers. Amazing that you've achieved erecting the barn with mostly man power - very impressive. Thanks for the video.

When you are 60+ Kris, I don't want any excuses. If that man can do it, then I want another 20+ years of videos. ❤

Not a walk in the park cat! Sheeeesh....so much work to be done, little tiny super cute kitty!!

You and your "crew" are doing an excellent job. It's amazing that at one time this was just an idea in your head and now it's become a reality. You must be so proud. If you know someone who makes brands, you should have them make a brand of your name and put it into several of the posts and/or beams so that 100 years from now, anyone who finds this barn will know who drafted and built this monster. Well done!!

You are doing a good job. I would love my house to be built like that :)

love wtching this kind of stuff... this is why we love your channel so much. It's both relaxing and stimulating at the same time. watching you create things, explaining the technical stuff in detail as you progress step by step. Thanks for everything! Mark ($ supporter) in Puerto Rico 07-23-23

Thanks for the videos. I love seeing this thing of beauty go up. What a gorgeous building it's going to be. I watched it a couple of days ago on my big screen and I had to come back via my computer to comment when I got a moment. Enjoy your time with your Mum. She must be so proud. Cheers

Impressive! Love the mechanical advantages you employ :D

Thoroughly enjoyed it. What a difference a week and loads of hard work makes. You've got a good team helping.

No word of a lie I’ve been following your channel for a few years now and this is very bloody impressive. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank You for pressing on. Greatly enjoy each episode. Simply Amazing.

A regular "Motley Crew"!!! but it all came together in the end. Hats off to you and the crew

Kris always follows the 7 p's. That's why it is coming together so well. Looking great

Always look forward to these videos! Never a disappointment 👍🏻💪🏻

Cat bit just melted my heart. 😊

There is a distinctly medieval quality to this build. Those castle and cathedral builders must have faced similar challenges - manoeuvring great lumps of timber into place.

Incredible!! Your homestead has evolved so much! Steady as she goes. So happy to hear that you’re on the mend! 🙌👍🙏

Bloody hell Chris, not tuned in for a while to be honest, but your projects are getting bigger😲 Good on you fella, wish I was a few decades younger with the knowledge, determination and balls of steel you have. Hope you make a full recovery soon. A shining light to the younger generation 👍

Loving this build. I am 65, if it wasn't for the fact that I am 1/2 a world away, I would volunteer to come help out. Us old grey guys might not move that fast but we get the job done. (he says with a grin, nudge nudge, wink wink) I have always loved the look of timber frame but I really had no idea of exactly how it all fit together just like a jigsaw puzzle. great stuff.

When talking about the 60 years old dude I though "it comes down to the triarii" 😅 Great job lads! Always inspiring!

I have been following you for a long time. It's been a pleasure. I wish I lived close I would enjoy helping. Bit of a swim from Michigan. Stay encouraged cousin. Only with great risk comes great reward. Don't ever let anyone burglarize your joy. It looks great

Huge appreciation for your helping guys, and how well you work together !

4.55 am and yet again you simple amaz me with your barn build. You inspire me no end , that reminds me i need to replace my old shed 😅.

Love what you and Dot and ALL are doing! Blessings.

I've got to say it's very inspiring what a Fine job you're doing especially off grid..keep up the Great effort.

Loving this, just wanted to share something funny. The subtitles: Good morning everyone so I've had about a week off because I ended up pulling the mustard in my groin last week and it was surprisingly debilitating...

I'm always in awe of your skills and determination.

Really beautiful framework, great design and pre construction work, almost as easy as lolly pop sticks. I would love to get some plans for this build, I would make it my country house.

Power to the 60 year old! Looking good and at such a speed too!

Its really taking shape now. What a wonderful structure. I am sure that it will last many many years of use. Well done Kris....

Total admiration for your grist, especially on this project. What a beauty already. But don't wear yourself out lad, you've plenty of years.

Great video ! Love seeing more building of an amazing barn ! Thank you for sharing. 👏😀❤️

Absolutely excellent work what a beautiful barn old techniques will last for years so proud of your achievements well done, well done wishing you and your family all the best on there arrival to your wonderful farm.

Amazing job Kris, not many would have the patience or courage to take on a project like this and without cutting corners like using brackets and bolts … good job 👍

Always amazed. Beautifully designed and constructed. Thanks for bringing us along

This is a thing of beauty and I'm enjoying every episode so far, I can't click quick enough when I see a new video has been posted! I always do enjoy watching your projects come into fruition and the greenhouse has been my favourite so far as I love the woodworking but this is looking like being my new favourite as the craftsmanship that's gone into every aspect of this build is top notch! Thanks for entertaining us, Kris it is very much appreciated! 👍👍 p.s. I hope your mother finds good health soon! ❤❤

AMAZING1 You and your friends did an excellent job. This is so nice and can't wait until you get to finish it.

You had us all going there mate. I'm sure thousands of us were shouting "you forgot the last brace".

honestly mate, when you described your " abled bodied crew" i was in stitches for about 5 minutes, replayed it about 8 times. hilarious

Great progress and a wonderful video. Of course, the cat was the star of the show.
