Love the structure... a decent size garage is a real bonus. Years ago we were having an attached garage done .. standard size .. but the contractor suggested we go wider... THAT was the BEST suggestion EVER. It pays to have a Visionary Builder! 👍
Good Saturday mornin Kens Karpentry 📐🔨🪚🪜.... very nice build (as usual). Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend ... take care. Btw .... I really like that you show some drone🛰footage at the end. ☃👣

I agree 100% with Don. I would pay 40K for that beautiful building in a heartbeat. Really enjoy Ken's vids........this coming from someone who couldn't build a birdhouse.
Ken - You have perfected the art of modularized wood frame construction. This is awesome! I could watch these videos over and over again! Thank you for sharing your expertise!~
Ken! I wish you were in my area. I love your videos, your style, and practical approach. We just got a quote for a two car detached garage, with a space at the head of the garage for a small shop/storage, an extra 10' x width of garage. $173,000!!! No special things, crazy excavation or site work, or high end finishes. So we said no to that.
Haven't ever seen any of Kens building in the (rape) category. Some builders are doing that just because there aren't many of them. Too many kids going to college getting worthless degrees and not concentrating their efforts on a good satisfying worthwhile career. I was a rough in carpenter in my teens and I am so glad I learned that skill, it has served me well all my life. I built my own home and haven't had a mortgage because of that skill.
have you thought of being your own subcontractor? You can shave quite a bit from the cost and also do it at your own pace, finances allowing. I'd bet you can get the total well below $100k. Looks like Ken's price is about $70 a sq ft for that $40k package... and that includes 4 guys doing the labor.
Great job Ken, wish you had a crew to send up to us near Rangeley ME:! You do great work, your honest and charge fair prices and show up and build on time!
Nice timelapse! I liked that build when you did it too. I didn't notice the little walkway and apron in front of the garage being poured. Did you leave that out or did someone else do that part? I liked that extra little roof in front when you did that. Thanks for this Ken!
Beautiful job. Question regarding the metal roofing. I have a similar 24x24 and plan to do a exposed fastener metal roof like this build. Since it’s detached and unheated and have the same style of vented soffits, I would think I wouldn’t need to cut a ridge vent. Your thoughts would be appreciated. The ridge has been blocked with 2x4’s between the roof trusses anyway. We live in Ontario Canada so cold and dry for half the year.
Another nice garage. I noticed the snow guards over the entry door were about 8 feet wide. But you had snow guards on the other side of the building roughly in the same spot but there was no door there. What is the reason for this? Here in Texas we don't have those so I'm a bit ignorant. Greetings from Texas....John B.
@@kenskarpentry Oh, that makes sense. Thanks.....Man, I wish my company here in Houston would have worked out. I miss working with my guys every day getting stuff done doing what I love. I envy you...
Great video Ken. I have a question regarding the snow guards. I can see why you place them above the small entrance door but why did you place snow guards on the opposite side where there is no door underneath ?
Hi Ken, nice work you do. Could you give me some detail on how you join 2 wall frames together? When I used to build small garden sheds we would butt 2 uprights together but it’s not ideal. You seem to but the horizontals together which is better for insulation but I’m interested in how you fix them together and maintain strength in that part Thanks in advance Rob M
Do you know if it's possible to use these same basic construction techniques in the Los Angeles area of California? Thanks for sharing these videos :) . . . Way maker, eh? :) Good singing.
Yet again.... A most amazing build. I pray your crew is happy and snug with (whatever they are doing) this winter. I think the 28 by 28 format is well, a "horse of a different color" for a garage space. Wow. And hmmm: I have three "side comments." ONE : It looks like WGBH (maybe the producer too ~ not sure) has cut a deal with Norm Abrams to FINALLY codify The New Yankee Workshop on You Tube. What a pleasant surprise to find the Official New Yankee Workshop on You Tube. I consider this show the Original and Norm well... the one and only. Ok so... TWO: Ya gotta find a customer who's willing to "reframe" a project as a BARNDOMINIUM. I'm not lying. Get that term into just one of your posts and you'll get 200 G views in three days. THREE: Separate and step out of the "pricing service." It's nice to see that this project was 40G nice but that should be between you and your customer. Maybe just "modify" the numbers to ~~~ Good Value ~~~ Loose the numbers. OOPS I missed the third one" I know I'm loosing weight but I have not had the nerve to actually go to scale. And so yep: Yet again, Not gonna lie. Just full of advice. (not worthy) ~ Here at the Epsom Traffic Circle. Best wishes. ✨🌸🙏🌸✨
$40,000 for a two car garage!!! Look what inflation has done to our country. Let me share with you my grandad's last home he built. He started building in 1959 and finished in 1960. He built a 2,000 square foot ranch style home with a full basement and a 2 1/2 car attached garage. It had a 16x20 foot addition that he originally planned to have as a screened in back porch on a slab. He closed it in so actually had an additional 320 square feet added to the 2,000 square feet. He contracted out all the concrete work, plumbing, heating and electrical. Sheathing and roof were done with real 3/4 inch plywood. Siding was all clear western red cedar. All the rafter bays were set up so the roof could breathe. 1x2s on each side of the bays and covered with 1/4 inch plywood. Air vents in the soffit and full vented ridge. Move in ready in 1960 he had spent just a little over $16,000. Can anyone tell me what my grandad's house would cost today? No personal computers, no internet, no RUclips, no cell phones (hard wired dial phones). My older sister made $.25 an hour as a car hop at the A&W rootbeer stand and out of that $.25 an hour she had to pay for stolen rootbeer mugs. Oh, the good ole days!!!
@@kenskarpentry Thanks for the reply. I'm used to seeing the gable end trim that wraps over the top of the roofing and down the side of the wall. I didn't think just drip edge would seal the edge of the roof on the gable ends. I really enjoy your videos. I've learned a lot from watching.
Hi Ken. I've noticed you said in the past and in this video that that the ceiling height is 8ft 1-1/2". Seems like it would be 8ft 1-1/8". Am i correct? Bottom plate-1-1/2"+stud 92 5/8"+(2) top plates at 3"= 97 1/8"
Just started watching your videos and have enjoyed them so I subscribed! Out of curiosity, the costs attached to the videos, are they the cost of materials alone or cost to customer? Thanks in advance
@@kenskarpentry I could see a revenue stream from taking your designs to an architect to draw blueprints. Doing step by step how to videos. Having links to the materials or suppliers. It would reduce your costs on your personal projects and traffic content back to your RUclips as well. The blue prints could be sold. If it really took off you could do pilot programs with affiliate builders where they could come train with you as you build. Would make for great content 👍

Great size garage. Would love to have a few of these build.
Thanks
It looks great. Finally a good thought out built 👏🏽👏🏽
Smiling!
Thanks for the video sir.
I can get a 24x45 garage built with cement foundation for that price. No wood to rot no termites. Do you build metal garages also
Another great job Ken, love your videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks
Wish you were in Minnesota. I need a garage built. I love your videos.

Beautiful build Ken !
Thank you kindly
28 x 28 is a great size. Room for stuff all around and can open doors. I used 8 x 18 garage door. Walls were 9 ft.
Nice
Great work Ken. Love your videos!!
Hoss just picks up those wall sections and moves them like they're made of matchsticks. 😂
Haha
Great job as always! Keep'em comin!
This is amazing. The only thing I wish different would be the scisor trusses to gain more head room. Congrats.
Nice thanks
You got an absolutely UNIT working for you. My god what is he 9ft tall? Big ole dude 😅
Super nice build :- )
Regards from Denmark, Europe.
Thank you very much
Wow Nice Foundation

Nice size garage. The metal spacer tubes that are used on the trusses, I see you remove them. At what point do they get removed? Thanks.
They are removed after the first row of plywood just put on

Nice work! Would you build a garage and a small accessory dwelling in Middlebury, VT?
Sorry that’s too far away for us
Very nice 👍
Think of what it would have cost
3 years ago. Probably $ 27,500 ???
Probably
Nice job
Thanks
Love that garage!!! I wish to have something like that someday.
Nice thanks for watching
Ken, another great video. I am curious about the style/brand of snow guard? in our area i only see the long linear cleats. Cheers
I don’t know the name of the brand. They are usually available at the big box store lumberyard
What about the interior, lighting, electricity, flooring, insulation etc?
That would be by others
Another nice garage. I noticed the snow guards over the entry door were about 8 feet wide. But you had snow guards on the other side of the building roughly in the same spot but there was no door there. What is the reason for this? Here in Texas we don't have those so I'm a bit ignorant. Greetings from Texas....John B.
The snow guards on the other side were required by the power company to protect the power line coming to the building.
@@kenskarpentry Oh, that makes sense. Thanks.....Man, I wish my company here in Houston would have worked out. I miss working with my guys every day getting stuff done doing what I love. I envy you...

The last stud is halfway for 2 sections

Excellent
Thanks
"IT"S WHAT I KNOW"...🤣😅😂
Bet that shut him up real quick like...
Impressive job, as usual. What's the drone model you're using please? TiA
DJI Air2s
i love this, im curious, does this include contracting for concrete pour etc?
Yes, it includes the concrete, but not leveling the ground
With the concrete in place what’s the number of days on a job cite for a 24 x 24 garage. With a metal roof.
One to weeks depending on crew size
Whats Ken's special project?
I'm guessing it's siding the Lumnah Acres tiny house. That's a house that Ken did a year ago for a fellow RUclipsr.
Haha nope not Lumnah’s. Nothing related to construction
Hi ken I wondering how do you build 28x28 garage operational apartment
You would have to make allowances for plumbing heating electric in so long as you build
Ken you must get a lot of offcuts from doors and windows how do you use them
We make the rake spacers with them. We use several hundred per year 8 1/2” long
how much was it just in materials? if you were to not include labor/permits
Generally about half
Love watching your videos. I've been looking for a green siding like this. Any chance you can tell me the manufacturer and color name? Thanks
Thanks. It’s safe by fairway
Do you know if it's possible to use these same basic construction techniques in the Los Angeles area of California?
Thanks for sharing these videos :) . . . Way maker, eh? :) Good singing.
I’m pretty sure codes are different there. Thanks for noticing my beautiful singing. :)
Excellent video, but ur slipping Ken,,u didn't say how many yards of concrete and the price,but still another Excellent video and build,,,
Haha bummer
When you report costs on RUclips, is that for materials only? Or is that what you bill your customer?
That’s the cost to the homeowner
@@kenskarpentry then we need one of you in every city! I'd buy!
so trusses remain wobbly until the sheathing goes on or are they secured to each other in another way
Correct
That was really nice drone footage what brand was it?
Thanks it’s a DJI Air2s
How long did it take to build start to finish very nice building
A couple of weeks
Is there a particular reason why you don't sheath the walls in the shop?
The weight of the wall would be more than I could lift the way we’re set up

I just looked online when I bought it.
Is the price in the video just the cost of supplies or supplies and labor?

Hey Ken, stupid question but 40k includes your labour, cement, everything?
Except earthwork
How come difference so much with previous garage which is smaller Ken 🤔
Different features in each garage
