This one had heavy clay and water runoff ran towards the building. I don’t know the cost of the excavation and frost walls but would estimate $$20k-$30k
I was already subscribed to your channel but when I looked to make sure I still was, it appeared I had been unsubscribed by CZcams. Back on board, all aboard.
The gambrel style is definitely a classic. I think that this was one of the 1st from your channel that YT suggested for me. I was watching a lot of build content while recovering from chemo/radiation. It is also one of my favorites.
Hey Ken! I really enjoy your videos! Just one thing though, please don't rush the reveal at the end! Seeing the end product and getting a sense of size/space is important to me as I gather ideas for planning my own garage build. Thank you!
Wow, this is a complex build because of the frost walls too! I like the idea of a carport right next to this garage too. It looks like they had the anchor bolts in good places for this build. Putting the floor joists up with the ladder hoist looked pretty easy. I like how you had the rafters tie into the little tip out of the roof. Working in the rain too! Closing in the second story looked good and fast too. I like the anchor/ledger board you put to anchor the carport roof to. I like the slant of the carport roof. Wow, the metal roof and soffits went on fast. A door upstairs to nothing. So the owner is putting on a deck. That looks beautiful Ken!
Another FANTASTIC BUILD and just love the style for sure plus the sewing room!!! A Quilter and clothing seamstress here LOL. I have sewing room envy for sure in this build. God Bless you ALL.
Great job Ken I think it's of the best you've done, loved Fondation, 14 in I joist on 16c awesome structure Great job crew! Retired Homebuilder Louisville KY.
I am really impressed with the seamless logistical narrative that seems to match the experienced procedural expertise. VERY helpful to see some of these techniques that have been developed over time and gained knowledge. GOOD show !!
Love the colors they chose. This one must've been a long time ago coz I can't remember it, lol. Y'all click together like a well oiled machine Ken😁. I hope nobody decides to step outside that backdoor anytime soon😬😂👍👍 Hope y'all are doing well? Take care. Jay.
@@kenskarpentry I am a tile installer and I’ve heard you say perfect so much I catch myself saying it sometimes lol but I do enjoy watching your video with my morning coffee thank you for sharing your life with us
I like that song you were singing, He is good all the time king of my heart Let the King of my heart Be the mountain where I run The fountain I drink from Oh, He is my song Let the King of my heart Be the shadow where I hide The ransom for my life Oh, He is my song
I really enjoyed this video and learned some new insights. Got a couple of questions. First, there are different ways to build the gambrel. In a timber frame, we often used two secondary bents where you had walls. It saved the space along the edge. Why did you elect to not use the space on the edge of the roof? Also, when you installed the grace ice shield on the roof, you didn’t peel the back. Am I missing something here? That was grace right?
We would need one far larger but certainly no problem with an on site sand pit to dramatically reduce the cost of the concrete pour. We do have possible Builders of top flight quality well known back our way plus here in Beaufort, South Carolina and they are all in the Business of Building *TOP OF THE LINE* and not slap dash.
Wild guess is the customer insisted on the full foundation, which is not your usual build. What was the difference in cost between this and the typical floating slab? BTW, I can see how the j-bolts in the walls slow things down compared to drilling for anchors. At least they had them in the right locations.
What's the total cost for building like this to be built My daughter has a big yard and I could see us building something like this and I could live in the upstairs apartment How much would this totally cost built
Well you certainly affected me with your groaning for effect I was looking at the dishes in my sink and considering what I should do with them when you helped me getting some sneaky exercise that is to say I jumped up in the air simultaneously turning to see if you were all right. I am glad you are but I’m sorry I didn’t have any warning although I don’t see you could have provided a warning unless you did a voice over and that is not really necessary I suppose. I didn’t fall and am now recovering from the shock.😮😢😂😅❤🎉❤😊 stick figures were my specialty in high school I dressed them in Bermuda shorts and tee shirts and wide brim hats thanks for inspiring me to climb memory hill and come back by memory lane😊ops they had big work boots but no socks😮
As always looks awesome 🤘.. Down south we have to get permits & inspections on everything.. Do you guy not have to deal with any of that up your way ?? Stay safe & God bless
That would be nice as a living quarters up too and garage down low on a 2nd property for weekend getaway’s, love it & great job 👏 so what would that cost to build with just a 24 inch rat wall and poured floor and minus the carport Ken? 60k or less?
Ken, beautiful job you and your crew did. I’m curious; did the client say why they wanted a gambrel roof? It seems like a lot of wasted space under the eaves on two sides.
Great video and great building, long time viewer but first time commenter! Was the reason for the 2x6 walls for strength or insulation or other? I though usually with garage buildings you would use 2x4's for the walls?
I just realized for the first time how hard it must be to frame the building and yet stopping to look in the camera and explain what your doing at the same time. I don't think I would have been able to do that while framing because when you are at this stage of construction you really have to concentrate on what you are doing unless you want to do it twice !
i have only been in the carpentry industri for 5 years, used to be a painter. what i dont get is, the piles of dirt/soil that are left inside the frostwalls. why not remove them?
Could verticle bolts be set into concrete in order to secure wood wall frame to it? Secured between the vertical studs? Would that compromise the strength of the frame section?
@@kenskarpentry But concentrating on that would get you out of the field, which clearly can be exhausting. If you can design the product, market it, and train the help, which seems to be the case, then you might be successful. Furthermore, there aren't too many years left that you can safely do that field work.
Ken that frost wall base foundation seemed very over engineered for a timber structure and not even to create a basement. Why did they want such a deep foundation base? 🤔
The ground was heavy clay as well as there was a steep hill runoff towards where the garage was going so it needed frost walls so that it wouldn’t be affected by those situations
Many of your builds are slab on grade, what drives the decision to put in the footers and frost wall?
This one had heavy clay and water runoff ran towards the building. I don’t know the cost of the excavation and frost walls but would estimate $$20k-$30k
Nice, clean job !
I'd argue that you're an artist in your own way Ken. Great work.
Thanks
I want THIS GUY on my jobsite every single day!
Haha thanks
I'm sure you have heard this before, but you are the "Bob Ross of Construction" and an artist in your profession. Always great to watch!!!
Haha thanks

@Kens Karpentry Yes, thank you, cancer free.
@@jdelbrid Grats!!
Fast speed with the nail gun reminds me of the good ole days before nail guns. Remember those days Ken?
Sure do
I like how you and your crew work.
Thanks
You certainly are an artist just look at the buildings you make they are works of art
Thanks
Great to watch a real mechanic at work.
Thanks

Thanks. Love that song
You guys are great thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
I’m planning to go back to the start of your startup and starting all over again. I do like your work thanks.

Sweet. God bless.
Thanks for watching
Nice build.👍 Probably be $100,000 or more to build that to same stage in my area!
Wow
Very nice always enjoy your videos
You are an artist 🎨. You all are. Great job 👏
Thank you so much 😀
I think this one is my favorite thus far. Love the design and detailing of this one. Great work!
Thanks
Hope your wrist feels better Ken. I just had back surgery 57. Looks like I'm medically retired. Bad deal at 57. Suxx pretty bad. Love the videos 📹
Wow sorry. Hope you heal up quickly
@@kenskarpentry much appreciated 🙏
This one is awesome. I would love to own something like that.
Thanks me too. :-)
Hai sir naice job
That’s my dream garage. Just a little bit bigger.
Love the colors they chose. This one must've been a long time ago coz I can't remember it, lol. Y'all click together like a well oiled machine Ken😁. I hope nobody decides to step outside that backdoor anytime soon😬😂👍👍

clicked to see some concrete work. still a great vid. cheers!
Bummer thanks
You do a good job!
Thanks
Great job ken
Thanks
If only CZcams handed out Contractor of the Year Awards, hands down… your it! 🎉
Wow, thank you!
Nice job Ken & Crew. Thx!
You bet
You guys are great. Wish you were out here in the Los Angeles area. Looking to build a Gambrel Style two story garage myself.
The perpetual nail gun...... I gotta get one of those 🤣
I don't think I have seen you or Chad ever Load up before 😉
Haha
Thx for sharing
My pleasure
Hey Ken I think I found my clone ...........Also named Ken . I feel like I'm watching myself , great content .
Haha
Oh you are an artist.

Very nice build.
Thanks!
Beautiful building.
Those nail guns must really save time over a hammer.
They sure do

Is $81,000 what the homeowner paid to have this done? Or is this cost of materials?
Ken you are a carpenter artist.
Haha thanks

good morning my friend kens suces
Good morning
Gotta be nice sheathing that building since it's multiples of 8ft in length and width.
Right
This was an awesome build! Curious why you use OSB on the roof. Seems like you usually use ply in the other builds...
They requested it
Ken, give a date when this build occurred please. Thanks, really enjoy your videos
It was about two years ago but the price is what the current price
amazing
Excellent work 💯
I say "Qwutta" 😉
Your medium is lumber!
Haha thanks
As always looks awesome 🤘..
Down south we have to get permits & inspections on everything..
Do you guy not have to deal with any of that up your way ??
Stay safe & God bless
Outbuildings are very easy $50 to $100 for the permit. It gets more difficult when septic and water comes into play.
Super Arbeit 👏🏻👋👍😊🤗
Thanks
Do you ever come up a little further north Ken? I'm in New Brunswick, and wouldn't mind having one of these
Bummer that’s a bit far
A building for the cost of a pick up truck. Good value I would say.
Haha crazy isn’t it
WHen your putting up your sheathing: Whats the secret to Knowing where to nail without laying out and marking your stud centers?
The sheathing is marked with 16” centers
wow at that point i would have put a basement in and used span-crete for the garage floor!
Nice build! What is your microphone setup for this video? It’s so nice to hear you so clearly.
Excellent work kens. Can you make it 9 feet tall if wanted?
Definitely
That would be nice as a living quarters up too and garage down low on a 2nd property for weekend getaway’s, love it & great job 👏 so what would that cost to build with just a 24 inch rat wall and poured floor and minus the carport Ken? 60k or less?
Yes possibly
Morning Ken hate putting blockwork up.
I love your work and would a garage like you build. Do you happen to know a builder who builds like you do near VA or NC?
Sorry I don’t
amazing job as always nice video Ken in wich time you build this how many days??
About 3 weeks
Ken, beautiful job you and your crew did. I’m curious; did the client say why they wanted a gambrel roof? It seems like a lot of wasted space under the eaves on two sides.
Actually that’s a ton of storage space
Noticed that they put seed down and there was grass when you finished .
We're you waiting on the steel roof?
Yes it finally came in and we got it done
Great video and great building, long time viewer but first time commenter!
Was the reason for the 2x6 walls for strength or insulation or other? I though usually with garage buildings you would use 2x4's for the walls?
We went with 2 x 6 because they’re finishing off the interior so they wanted that insulation value
@@kenskarpentry thanks for the reply, I have to have a garage build at some point in North East PA, would you recommend 2x6 here or is it overkill?
Is this $81,000 price point excavation, foundation and materials or customer cost for the finished structure? Beautiful work! I love some gambrels
It includes concrete and exterior finished
Are those 2" x 6"s for the walls or are my old eyes wrong? Is this for insulation ? i like to follow along with the build. Thanks Jim
Ha ha. Yes they are
What would that cost to build today Ken?
That’s the current cost
Would a skid steer with a boom and a mega deck scissor lift cut your build time down and improve your safety? Would the benefits out way the costs?
Typically I don’t have much room around the buildings to use one.
I just realized for the first time how hard it must be to frame the building and yet stopping to look in the camera and explain what your doing at the same time. I don't think I would have been able to do that while framing because when you are at this stage of construction you really have to concentrate on what you are doing unless you want to do it twice !
Thanks it is sometimes a challenge to make sure the camera is working.
Another very good video.
About how much offsite and on-site time did it take you to frame and dry in this build?
2 or 3 days off site and 2 or 3 weeks on site
i have only been in the carpentry industri for 5 years, used to be a painter. what i dont get is, the piles of dirt/soil that are left inside the frostwalls. why not remove them?
They always leave it unless there’s going to be a basement. It adds a few thousand dollars to the cost if you remove it and then put something back.
Could verticle bolts be set into concrete in order to secure wood wall frame to it? Secured between the vertical studs? Would that compromise the strength of the frame section?
Yes that’s what we did on this project
Nicely done. When will you expand your business to sell kit buildings to expand your geographic presence?
Thanks. I can hardly keep up now. Not sure I could do that.
@@kenskarpentry Weren't you trying to make prefab buildings at first? You liked that idea.
@@kenskarpentry But concentrating on that would get you out of the field, which clearly can be exhausting. If you can design the product, market it, and train the help, which seems to be the case, then you might be successful. Furthermore, there aren't too many years left that you can safely do that field work.
Great job what's the name of the red color please thank you!
Sorry it’s a discontinued siding. I don’t remember the color
Ken that frost wall base foundation seemed very over engineered for a timber structure and not even to create a basement. Why did they want such a deep foundation base? 🤔
The ground was heavy clay as well as there was a steep hill runoff towards where the garage was going so it needed frost walls so that it wouldn’t be affected by those situations
Why the frost walls? You do slab most of the time
Heavy clay soil in a hilly water runoff towards it made it necessary
