- In this video we Glazed the roof with toughened 4mm. I had help from a great volunteer and it really made the job go smoothly. I also thought it would be nice to talk about spring and show another one i found a few years back.

As a craftsman for over 40 years I’m quite impressed with your skills. Take care of your body, it gets slower to heal as you age. Cautiously increase your efforts when it starts feeling better.
A massage or two after extended heavy lifting would probably be a good idea as well.
@@ceselbnice try, Kris 😅
I am fully impressed! It's just a complete ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions. These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
Somebody famous once said "speak softly and carry a big stick" ! So by my reckoning you're okay, and besides you're on your own property. No harm, no foul. ✌❤ Bob.

Thanks for always acknowledging the little mistakes. It gives us, lesser talented maker’s, much needed self assurance. Your “Good enough for me”, would be “perfect” for most everyone else. You don’t get all bogged down with microscopic regrets which I believe is what keeps us self reliant, motivated and productive. You are a most inspirational homesteader and, in this world-going-mad, about the only RUclipsr that makes me wish I was a lot younger. Thanks for everything...again!
Gary I could not agree more. We need to inspire more of this in the world.
well said....just recently discovered....and am enthralled by the dogged determination to get it right enough....self reliance is still an option....who knew....👍
There’s is something brilliant about standing in a greenhouse in the still heat with the smell of the vegetation around you 🙂
...when it start to rain outside.
And the rain on the glass!😊🐝❤
@@longuebiseavous oops...didn't see your comment.😊🐝❤
Your craftsmanship is incredible! Whenever I’m fixing or building something, I ask myself “What would Kris do?”. After a quick think, a hot cuppa and a look through your catalogue of vids I invariably find inspiration. Keep it up! Cheers from Canada.
I feel like i'm in lord of the rings. This is the shire and you are a Young Gandalf.

If nothing else Kris is some kind of wizzard.
@@InquisitiveBaldMan wish he would cast a spell on BJ
@@Valisk deffenitly bombadil, maybie even beorn.
Love it all the birds singing away while you finish off this little masterpiece.
Ya, So Im not the only one who heard the birds. 🇨🇦
This is just wonderful! Imagine in 30 years how beautiful this will be!
It's a work of art, Kris! Can't wait to see it fully fitted out. I imagine a nice chair in there to read a book and drink a cuppa wouldn't be too bad on a rainy day
That greenhouse is better constructed and more beautiful than most houses I've ever seen. I don't know if you're a wizard or a genius or if you have an army of fairy helpers, but somehow you make the most amazing things!😊🐝❤
There must be some magic in that stick. No??
@@johnmanning4577 Right! There is some magic in there somewhere.😊🐝❤
Great work both of you. Looking fantastic already. Also appreciate the cat cameos.
“People have had a go at me for carrying a stick!”
yeah kind of sad
Assault sticks should be banned!!!
@@flightofarrow yeah breathing should be banned too
@Gillie Monger hell anytime I think of merry old England ,Sailing ships and someone with a walking stick comes to mind
Glad to see he gives no fucks. When living on undeveloped land, a walking stick is as much a tool as it is a walking aid. Ignorance is the only excuse for thinking he shouldn't use one.
Looks amazing. What are you doing about ventilation? Thought you might have some opening panes in the roof.....
Wooohooooo, I've been waiting for this all weekend!!
Absolutely love it, Kris. Love your interaction with your kitty. I can feel the love you have for her.
I'm stupidly happy to see the spring refill. The place is looking fabulous!
Really stunning build! Probably one of the nicest greenhouses I have ever seen. I can't wait to see the finished product. Interesting info about the spring. My parents house in Ireland has been supplied by a spring for the last 30 years and never run dry. But on very rare occasions has become cloudy for a few days, usually after snow or very heavy rain. I'm going to do some research into why after watching this video.
Brilliant explanation of springs.
thank you 😁😁👍👍
People give you a hard time for carrying a stick because of your age??!! Some people are such opinionated twits. I think that stick is awesome. The twits are just jealous of your success.
Hi, I love your videos, I'm a professional gardener and have worked in the trade for over 30 years. Just a bit of advice.... Ventilation is imperative with a greenhouse. Red spider mite loves hot dry conditions and it's a devil to control if you don't get the ventilation sorting. All the top pains of glass should be opening. I speak from experience. I was in-charge of a national trust garden for many years and one glasshouse had no roof vents and it was very hard to grow anything in, we had to retro fit rood vents in the end.
Perhaps the end walls will have venting panes.
The gable ends the back windows and the door are vents. I calculated it all and that is enough area for ventilation. The gable ends face the predominant wind direction so there will be air moving right through the roof. That is far better than just some vents at the top in my mind.
@@KrisHarbour I fear that that will not be enough, but only time will tell. Maybe shading would be an option worth considering
Finally someone doing a glass greenhouse! Thank you, and I must say that this is a beautiful greenhouse!
Kris I have a spring in my garden to its just like yours and water very clear...I'd really appreciate if you did just a specific video on that bog ya mate found in woods and how you dig it and add gravel tbh I'd rather learn off you not the other vids on RUclips as I'm UK also cheers and you clearly no the score.
Keep vids coming 😊❤
You'll never be too young to carry a stick!
Awesome video, Kris!
you make me sure in my project - do what u want to do and be yourself in everything! thank u very very much!!!!
Awesome watching and progress
It’s called hydrostatic uplift 😊
Hey mate. Good to see your back getting better. Cheers.
ALL GROUND WATER IS FROM RAIN. Some fell thousands of tears ago, some yesterday.
I always give a like, but when the lovely kitten shows up and you pause and give her attention I always smile and give a like right away!
Nicely Done. I love how you are never in a hurry.
That's why what he makes is quality and will last, thought and effort has gone into it, made with love.
Are you sure this wasn’t a fashion shoot, every cut your mate changed outfits 😇
From spring to fall even on cloudy days when I walk into my greenhouse it is tee shirt weather and a joy. Your going to love it.
Just a point of interest and perhaps the question will answer itself as you continue the build. How do you plan to vent the greenhouse during the summer days. From what I've been told plant growth tends to stop when the air temperature hits the 90s and above. A solar powered fan in the apex would help or shade cloth suspended above the roof also helps a lot. Take care and as always fabulous workmanship.
@@garykuiken6191 just an FYI I generally don’t grow in the greenhouse during the summer. The plants require too much attention. But In august The uk isn’t southern Pennsylvania.
That’s amazing Kris. Such a talented guy. You should be so proud of yourself for everything you have achieved and living your life the way you want. Love this channel.
I wondered what you were doing to do for guttering...wooden is going to look great. Can’t help thinking cooper would look better...maybe repurposed copper pipe. Regardless...looking forward to seeing your first tomato crop 😊
The 20ml out may yet be a marvellous addition. As the sun belts down ( as it always does in Wales😁) and the glass expands, there will be room enough. It's all good and of course it is magnificent Kris. Wishing you and Dot a fantastic growing season. xxx
What else can I say that others have not said? How many times Wowed?, Inspired?, all the above. Just amazing comes to mind. Thanks
because I've learned quite alot since starting watching your channel! Me southern AZ. (USA)
run rain water from roof into it
Amazing, just amazing!
This is a work of art, truly. You probably couldn't afford what you've just built Kris 😅 Not many people out there with these skills nowadays, those that have them are in high demand. A brilliant man of many developed talents and skills, glad to be shoulder to shoulder with you Brother in this emerging new world. When the dust settles this will still remain, as will you. 😂 God bless
When you having a house party?
Must have felt exciting AND scary putting on the glass panels!
My own anxiety went up a few notches even tho I knew they wouldn't break any 😂
I was a bit nervous about them not wearing gloves, as well, glass is no joke. Depends on the type though, assuming the edges are all taken of it.
"It's just a mistake"
This is why I love your vids.
Kris and other readers, look up Viktor Schauberger, he was know as "the water magician of Linz" all the best, Lucas
A rain-barrel or two off the greenhouse roof run-off?
Kris,
It look great, you must be super happy...
Take care.
Paul,,
You could have just made more of your cool metal clips for the bottom edge of the glass as well. The wood looks weak.
cool
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Very well done again and as always. I'm very relieved that you had a helper. With your shoulder issue it wouldn't have been wise to try it by your own or your girlfriend. Please don't ask me why I know. ;-)
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
awesome, great to see your back at it mate
Wow,such tedium,but you persevered. Nice job. Beautiful building.
🙂✌❤
The top glass has no support running under the ridge. You capped it on top, but nothing is supporting it under the ridge line.
Greenhouse looks amazing. Hope your shoulder is healing
Impressive, and motivating, you rock!!
Always looking forward to your videos Kris. The harmony with which you live on and for the land is both a comfort and inspiration to my soul. Thank you for sharing the methods of this harmony with us. We cannot “live off the land” without living for the land.
Your green house will no doubt finish up as a jewelry box for plantae.
I’m glad you and your friend finished at 5 o’clock on Friday night - would’ve loved to join you at the pub!
Beautiful sturdy structure that will last eons. Can’t wait to see it full of food plants!
Howdy Kris!! You're becoming the "Wizard of Wales" with your continually surprising skills! Don't think that Dot could ask for a finer greenhouse!
I noticed that you're speaking more slowly and I want to thank you so much. We "foreigners", sometimes, have a bit of a struggle to understand different accents, you know. In this video, I understood every word. Yea! Love your channel and your projects. Blessings.
Looks fantastic... wooden guttering sounds novel and really interesting,,, and thanks so much for the cat shots - beautiful animal
Good job hand, any birds meet their doom yet, flying into glass,? Poor things can’t see the glass,,,,, also surprised bout no leaks,,,,water will find a way!! Like ya said, wouldn’t hurt any,,,
No dead birds yet.
Domestic cats kill WAYYY more small birds than greenhouses - estimated at 30 million per year in the UK...!!
Great vid Kris. Nice info on the springs and so glad you had a mate willing and able to give you a hand. Look after that shoulder/back.
Great Job Kris legend 👏
Always enjoy watching ... and I learned something new about ground water/springs.
Thank you, as always, for sharing your journey
Hi. People you know how many people carry a walking etc. etc. Stick, they are used for many things.
I love, love that you used glass instead of plastic for the green house. That makes me very happy. Thanks for that and the whole video. Many thumbs up 👍👍👍👍 🥰🐱😻🇨🇦
Nice communication between you and your helper, I've seen so many people working with a helper and they always assume the other person is on the same page. Oddly enough the helper cannot read minds and you cannot read their mind. The job always goes much smoother with a few words. If you were looking for a word (not trying to be a "knowitall") those small chunks at the bottom of the glass are called cleats. Really enjoying watching your projects and I'm still working on your back catalog. Keep posting, I'll keep enjoying the content, thanks for letting us in on your work.
It's amazing how much you seem to be done by just simply trusting in yourself. I would have planned everything out first. Nothing seems to stop you from accomplishing the task once you get started. I have to say I am impressed.
Love this build, I hate to be a safety nannie but anytime you work with large panels of glass please wear eye protection. I’ve seen things go wrong so quickly you don’t have time to react. You and your mate be safe and bravo for a job well done!
As you are a stick carry man have you thought about a ciupaga (shepherds axe from Eastern Europe) I have the plain stick variety, it might be useful around the property, having watched your updates I’m confident you could make a beauty. Cheers.
Don't mind the criticism. You've set yourself on a magical journey with the life you've chosen. I imagine many envious people out there without the capacity or opportunity to do what you've done so far.... Cheers!
I love walking with my stick ! I have markings from the bottom as a depth gauge & about 12’ of para cord tied around the handle for grip but also it’s there if i need some para cord.
You built a roof ladder, lol. Bloody brilliant. 😊
Roofers call them chicken ladders in the USA
Hi Kris, love your work. Could tell me what make is your drill plz.
After some wildfire on our property that removed a few acres of brush, we discovered a steep hill with several extremely damp areas. I already dug into one and am getting 150 gallons a day from it. such a silver lining.
I love it when a plan comes together .... you guys made it look so easy. Well done, it's beautiful.
Thanks for the exploration of your other water source, I can see why your friend was thigh high with mud. I would have freaked out if I fell in that pit. lol. Thanks Kris
Hi Kris, what a beautiful building!
Just wondering if you might be putting a rain catch system at the bottom of all that glass?
Take care!
do you have a plan for venting and shadowing? just wondered you closed the toproof with wood, could have built some opening mechanism
Your greenhouse is the best quality craftsmanship I've seen on you tube . I like the way you used foam tape to allow for glass movement. Your piping "in" spring water is brilliant. I am proud to be your 200th patrion. P.S. You and Dot are so lucky to have each other. I love seeing you work together.
Using real glass? Wow! No solar diffusion. Great work!
Brilliant work. Would aluminum flashing on top of the rafters have been better for moisture and wood mold???
Kris, something I was once told is, "It only becomes work when you stop having fun!"
You seem to be a victim of this as I am! Keep having fun and the work gets done!
May you be blessed with long years and not ears!
Looks like it's time to make an English Quarterstaff Kris. 😎👍
Just curious, had you considered using aluminum clips at the bottom? They could recessed and hook over the top plate of the wall. Secured with a screw from inside.
Your metals got me thinking this way because I’m building a timber frame greenhouse later in May. It’ll be 15’ by 16’. The Timbers will be 6”x6” posts, 2”x8” rafters 2 1/2”x10” ridge beam. Top and bottom plates will be 6”x6”.
Anyways, wanted to say thanks for your project and video. It answers a couple of questions I had not answered yet.
Cheers
Egon
Hi Kris love your work....what make is your drill ... I’m looking for something reliable
Building with your own hands is the most beautiful thing there is. What are you going to do about the condensation that's going down inside? top job!
I really enjoyed the spring talk and would like to see a video if you ever clean one out to make it flow.
well i guess i'll have to stop asking for belly rubs, i thought it was very lady like until you pointed out its not LOL no i realize why i get strange stares
A simple suggestion: perhaps on the roof you should have used plaxi glass....less chance that things might fall and breaks..,..everything else you have done a marvelous job. very Inspired by your quality of wood work and engenering.
0:13, one step further... And you'd have had a "spring" in your step...
Great building, will last a few lifetimes and serve you well.
Interested to see what you'll do for ventilation.
Top workshop next ;-)
I'm 71, but wish I could work alongside you giving you a helping hand, but can't afford the bus fare :) :) :)
I started watching you when you had your chainsaw mill! So awesome to see how far you've come... so much progress and accomplishment!
Looks beautiful. ... my wife said: it looks like a house not like a green-house :-)
You wouldn't get much change out of £20,000 for a bespoke greenhouse like yours. Excellent build there's a lot of produce to be had once its up and running. J.
Check the nitrate content of your spring, anything above 15mgL and it isn't potable for human, and probably surface water drainage.
It's breathtaking. I work in historic monuments and ecological construction and design, I really wish you could do work in France ! Pretty please ?
I build 1/12 scale miniatures and would love to purchase the model greenhouse you built for the inspiration. Can you let me know if it is available??? I love your channel. Your craftsmanship is impeccable.
You say “It looks like a propper greenhouse” in fact I think you’ve just constructed THE greenhouse by which all others will be judged!
you have an good eye for details!! And, I like that you are a catlovers like me, those men is soft men we call them, that is good!! You have as much rain as we have in Norway/Sweden.
Congratulation to me and Norway for our nationalday to day, may 17. :-) Our nationalday is a big thing, but, those two coronayears have we not been able to celebrate, sadly.
Thanks Kris great video! 🤩👏👍👍👍💯💯💯
I'm currently designing my own greenhouse for reclaimed shower doors. Can you please explain how you attached the glass? Some sort of adhesive strip?
I don’t believe that was in fact a spring inside your greenhouse. I think what you had there was just groundwater. I run into groundwater at my place if I dig down 24-36”. The area down in the woods is definitely a spring!
