wow that is beautiful.. . I wouldn't put in the garage door, I would add two sets of French patio doors instead and then I would absolutely LIVE IN THIS building... wow..
Nice work! Very efficient building methods. I'd like to see more of how you finish it out with electrical, heating, insulation, and the rear deck addition. I would call this a "Carriage house" as opposed to a garage. This would be a nice way to add a rental apartment to a residential home site. Thanks
You make an outstanding video. You should make more. Your music, speech patterns and production are terrific. Nice work. Way too often folks who have no business making videos try to do it. You have the gift !
Kens crew does good work, I sould know been a union carpenter for 32yrs. First time that I watched. The sugestions and coments are inquisitive , I am shur they would like a little more feed back than just a; / Thanks.
I have done similar buildings here in Virginia. Always had to have the monolithic slab footing turn down to frost depth (32”) . Wish we could make our own trusses here too. Nice job. Thanks for posting.
California Union carpenter here...back in the day wall bangers were paid by the sq foot to stand walls...the bone yard would pre cut a header package,the bone would drop a load in front of the slab,1 man would pound the nails/no nail gun back than.Paid 22.00 bucks per Garage/took me 2 hours...
Thanks true. A couple things for me. 1. The weight...I don’t have the same muscles from 20 years ago. :). 2. Sometimes there’s a slight variation in the concrete so the sheathed wall doesn’t sit flat.
Morning. This is a nice garage with efficiency apartment above. Lots of light as well. Won’t feel closed in. Thanks for my daily dose. Enjoy your coffee.
That ladder hoist is the best. I’ll have to see if we can rent one. We’re thinking about building a garage w an apartment on top. Thank you for this video. We’re wanting to put a bedroom downstairs in the workshop and you mentioned using different products. This will be our “up north” get away so, you also mentioned how you have the windows high up for when your not there in hopes for a less break in. Love how you mentioned that as well. I did enjoy it! Michigan
This is great!! But I'd love to see it done inside... Thinking of adding a garage with an apartment for my Mother above it. Thanks for sharing, I'll take a look at your other videos. ps... Many of us are contemplating the same idea for our parents if you could keep us in mind as you build more.
The very last thing you should do is put the railing on the stairs, you will need every inch of clearance to get appliances and furniture up that staircase.
I’d like to see a similar building built with Zip-Sheath product and maybe hardyboard siding vs. vinyl. Obviously, I’d like to see how it was finished. Insulation, plumbing, finish carpentry on the stairs. Very nice job.
Id love for you guys to build a garage for me. But, alas, Delaware is a tad more than 60 miles from you! lol I really like how down to earth you seem and how you explain what you are doing.
Hey Ken, My first time commenting. Love watching your videos, the length of your videos are perfect for a morning coffee and your content is precise and to the point, NO DRAMA, just a little humor now and then, thanks for that. I have many questions but that would take all morning and 10 cups of coffee. I don't know if you have a video of your tool trailer? if not, do you think it could be of any value or maybe just entertainment? Any how, great work, and have a great day. Stay safe.
Ken you folks done a beautiful job! Dang hard to find good, honest, and skillful works. I feel the contractor here ( Hawaii) always subcontracting there jobs and they do horrible job.and over priced. You folks are awesome!
You should have put some insulation between wooden planks and concrete foundation. Concrete is cold and on warm air will create humidity which will be accumulated by wood.
People worry about the silliest things. If they are going to break in, they are going to break in. The best way to go? Through the wall with a sawsall.
I built a similar barn with stick for 1st floor and post/beam second floor/third floor. A little movement upstairs but so far held up even in high winds.
Very nice. I live in tornado country and do not know if the attachment of the walls to the foundation will pass around here. But, if not, they can be modified. Nice vid and nice job.
pretty much exactly what i'm looking for. I'm in SW Missouri so i know you are not going to come out and build me one, but i would love to see you do a video on suggestions on how to select a contractor for such kind of buildings- what to ask, how to determine a rough but fair cost, any other due diligence you suggest, etc. That would be extremely helpful.
Thanks for the video. I am starting the thinking process of doing a 24' deep by 30' wide detached garage with an ADU above. I'll have a separate dedicated entrance for the ADU. I just haven't decided if I go a simple gable or perhaps a clerestory roof design.
Nice build , A team that has obviously worked together awhile, If this was going to be my place I think I would opt for outside stairs to entry off the back deck and do away with the loss of floor space in the garage..Just me
thumbs up ....this guy works harder than most 20 yr olds.....!!! 1FM Lake George, NY * Ken can you give total cost of material and labor to get to this point in project and do you travel to install them..?? txs...

I like how you prefab everything possible in your shop ahead of time, even made your own trusses.
Thanks

Sweet apartment. That’s going to be a cozy space.
Thanks
Wow, you boys got that up PDQ! Nice job too. That'll make a nice little apartment or guest house for someone!
Thanks
I used to sell Tuff Shed's, this was very enjoyable watching this. I am ready to move in.
Haha nice
Nice work & old school was making it look easier than it actually is.
Watching this reminds me of working with my grand pa. We built two gambrel roofed style barns. Great job and Thank you for the memories.

When I was framing we would sheet the outside walls before standing them up - faster easier ...
Thanks true. A couple things for me. 1. The weight...I don’t have the same muscles from 20 years ago. :). 2. Sometimes there’s a slight variation in the concrete so the sheathed wall doesn’t sit flat.
The older guy is worth every penny you are paying him
Haha. My son does a lot of off camera behind the scenes stuff that he doesn’t get credit for.
man you guys make it look so simple, great work! and damn id love something like that just a bit bigger
Nice
I would be proud to own that. And it would be my tiny home. Great job!
Thanks
I must say it was quite enjoyable and somewhat relaxing watching it all come together. Great Job!
Thanks
So beautiful Ken🤗 U just keep producing Gods shelters beautiful plane and simply Gorgeous U are Gods Carpenter 👍🏽
Wow! Thank you
Very nice. Like the way you work and the finished product first class!
Thanks
My wife and I are looking to build something of that nature. Your video is very well done thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Nice recap on the build Ken, turned out great.
Thanks
Keep them coming Ken. Hello and best wishes from Richmond, VA
Thanks for watching. Hey I’ve been to Richmond before.
Morning. This is a nice garage with efficiency apartment above. Lots of light as well. Won’t feel closed in. Thanks for my daily dose. Enjoy your coffee.
Good morning. In the shop now sipping coffee as well. Have a nice weekend
Really efficient and smart work. I enjoy watching good carpenters at work.
Thanks
Love there’s no waste on a 4x8 sheet with a little math and thinking ahead!
Yes definitely
You get the distinct impression that those guys have worked together before.
Thanks

Thanks
i was looking for a good video like this for a while now . Really great solution for a living space with a big garage. Great work !
Nice
This is great!! But I'd love to see it done inside... Thinking of adding a garage with an apartment for my Mother above it. Thanks for sharing, I'll take a look at your other videos. ps... Many of us are contemplating the same idea for our parents if you could keep us in mind as you build more.
Thanks
I want to see what it looks like when it's totally completed.
The very last thing you should do is put the railing on the stairs, you will need every inch of clearance to get appliances and furniture up that staircase.
I would love to be able to work on a crew with a guy like you learning all the finer points of the trade.
Thanks
@@kenskarpentry I would love to built with same layout. How hard it is to get prints for this kinda building? Thank you!
6:00 2 young guys on 1 side. 1 older guy on the other. “No problem”. says the older guy. I wish I could be in that great of shape when i get his age.
Haha
Nice work Ken, looks ike you do fine work! I'm a finish carpenter in Ct. Nobody does good square work anymore. It's a lost art now.
Thanks
Exciting to build new places . I can almost smell the wood
Thanks
You guys are fast! I’ve seen people take over a year to build the same thing!
Thanks
It's a time capsule great video remember when OSB was $8 a sheet !
Yes for sure
you can tell these guys have done this before, nice work
Thanks
I’d like to see a similar building built with Zip-Sheath product and maybe hardyboard siding vs. vinyl. Obviously, I’d like to see how it was finished. Insulation, plumbing, finish carpentry on the stairs. Very nice job.

That really looks nice !! Awesome job !!
Thanks
Fantastic. I love how quickly things came together having done most of your framing beforehand.
Thanks
Id love for you guys to build a garage for me. But, alas, Delaware is a tad more than 60 miles from you! lol I really like how down to earth you seem and how you explain what you are doing.
Bummer thanks

Thanks for watching. I’ll try to work my trailer into a video
I always enjoy your video's. Good job boy!
Awesome work... Fine craftmanship
Thanks
I respect the fact that u share the price. Well done.
Thanks
Excellent job. You guys have it down to a science, thanks for posting..
Thanks
Ken you folks done a beautiful job! Dang hard to find good, honest, and skillful works. I feel the contractor here ( Hawaii) always subcontracting there jobs and they do horrible job.and over priced. You folks are awesome!
Thanks
Very good craftmanship
Thanks
You should have put some insulation between wooden planks and concrete foundation. Concrete is cold and on warm air will create humidity which will be accumulated by wood.
We staple sill seal to the pressure treated bottom plate before we tip it up.
Nice to see this part of the build. Cool video and it looks like a good business you have there
This is terrific and even come with little extra bonus small department
People worry about the silliest things. If they are going to break in, they are going to break in. The best way to go? Through the wall with a sawsall.
Haha. Cordless?
I built a similar barn with stick for 1st floor and post/beam second floor/third floor. A little movement upstairs but so far held up even in high winds.
Nice
These guys are obviously professionals.
Thanks
Not your typical barn style but one with style
Thanks

You're going to jinx yourself with being able to start that machine.
Haha

Love this space, I'd love to build something similar!
it looks beautiful, great work.
Thank you very much!
I can't understand the thumbs down on any of your video's. Great work!
Thanks for watching
This is awesome. Love the budget too!
Thanks for watching
seal up those garage doors, no gaps greater then 1/4" keep out the rodents, your friendly exterminator.
This would be my permanent home.
Nice getaway cottage.
I love that ladder hoist, it's money!
Thanks
Lovely looking building mate.
Thanks
Nice spacious garage with living space. Looks like the headroom on the landing is a bit tight .
excellent video, well made and narrated, beautiful job and smooth build. new sub
Thanks for watching
Loved this video and build, would like to have something like this in the UK.
It makes a nice cottage
@@kenskarpentry Definitely
Nice build , A team that has obviously worked together awhile, If this was going to be my place I think I would opt for outside stairs to entry off the back deck and do away with the loss of floor space in the garage..Just me
Nice build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
I am still waiting for that $8 OSB sheet season to kick in. The good old days 😔
Yes. Me too
Nice Job, great project and video!
Thanks
If 2x6 you could have used 24" on center and saved some cash, not to mention it allows better insulating.
Great job and inspiring. Looking to do something similar here in LA county, CA.
Oh nice
Love the scenery
Thanks
Would've liked seeing some of the siding and roofing going on, and garage door install in a "start to finish" video.
thtas os pretty and gorgeouss! loving the roof design too!
Thanks for watching
Nice place. I would have prefered a open lofted ceiling rather than truss ceiling.
Would’ve been nice to see the finished product, inside and out
Great work Ken. What is the cost if you don’t mind me asking just for the shell like it is now
Beautiful put together.
Love the style.
Stay safe mate.
Thanks you too
Definitely worth investing in . Could make 500$ in cash flow out here in Sacramento ca. Renting it out
Yes definitely
Liked and subscribed......You do some really nice builds. Ray H ( From England U.K. )
Thanks
Great video and awesome commentary.
I believe some people could use this video for ASMR.
Thanks. Maybe. I never thought of it as that
I noticed you didn't wrap the second floor on one side, mind letting me know why that wasn't done? Btw amazing build. Looks great. Real quick and nice
We eventually wrapped it. Thanks for watching
That is some is beautiful country!
Yes it is.
Great video thanks ken stay safe 👍🏻
Thanks you too
Man when I get ready to build one I want you guys to do it! 👍

Thanks

Nice build and video🤠👍🔨
Thanks
Awesome work but no tie off?? You make it look easy for your age hats off to u!
