      If you do decide to put the mortar in between the discs. They do have color additives to change the color of the mortar. They even have stuff to make it glow in the dark blue or green.

    Use a really light color of chinking. It'll brighten it up and seal everything so it doesn't allow any rotting

    • @marcellogenovese199
      @marcellogenovese199 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The issue is the cookie ends will wick water through to the plywood anyway so he probably should seal it all anyway, so he could just as easily leave it at that point. I do think the pointing would look better though but I'm not sure how durable it will be since it isn't actually backed by wire.

    I just can't stop watching this channel, I used to watch all these other building videos that had a bunch of cuts, so you know they were cheating, what I love is the building is mostly sped up so we can see exactly how everything is being done and no false claims are being made.

Would be very cool to see you build a build a dock and boat cabin for your little self made lake, I get it isn't necessary but Esthetically it would look very pleasing.

As far as the pointing is concerned; adding the pointing may give it a secure and finished look, however, you may have to deal with cracks in the future. If you left the pointing off, would you seal the wall or put some kind of finish on? This is my favorite of all of your builds to date. Bravo

    Pigs got big! I figure the door should last for quite awhile. Corner braces would extend the life if it starts to sag. Turned out really nicely. With enough of the canopy gone, winter heating should be relatively light duty. Night time, probably just the opposite, but should be a really nice get away. Sleeping under the stars without getting rained on. Oh, and on the front finishing, either way you have to seal it. And yu don't want standing water at the bottom. So a cant strip would fix that if you don't fill the voids with material.

    I like the way you explain how a tool works and the different jobs it'll do, as well as the fun of watching the project proceed.

    Mortar...pointing in between wooden top end cuts.
    On bottom: cement slumped over chicken wire and smoothed flat.
    Amazing ..Hansel & Gretal cute.

    I like it. Those biscuits look cool in the front. You two are good biscuit hitters. Wouldn't want to get one of those in the forehead. Thanks for sharing Iowa is watching 28degs, this morning :)

    LOVE this build! I suggest pointing with grey mortar to match the aluminum window frame color then spray / brush a good clear sealant over all the cookies and lower wood siding to preserve it and slow down any rot.

    I vote for using a nice light sky blue tinted stucco! You’re just the guy to pull it off, Kevin! Can’t get enough of your projects.🏆

    I like the idea of mortar for protecting the cookies from dampness. It does look very good without the mortar, though. It's so pretty! I love it. I'm following along with this build as I do all the others. I always look forward to your finished projects. Thank you for sharing your clever ideas.

    Absolutely ingenious build. The attention to detail is exceptional. I think I would put porter around the cookies if only to waterproof the front of the building. Don has some serious hand eye coordination, he was nailing those cookies, considering how he was being jammed on most of the pitches. Looking forward to seeing the complete build Kevin.

    As long as it doesn’t leak or compromise the particle board, I like the way it is…..

    Congrats on over 200K subscribers! I had my doubts on this building at first, but your innovations know no bounds. All of those finishing touches add up to a quality build. Do what you want for the front.

    It sort of looks like a decorative gingerbread house. Very fairy tale worthy 💜

    Yes! Do the mortar around the cookies 🍪! It will improve the look and durability of the structure and help prevent rotting and bug 🐛 🐜 problems. Looks great so far! You are immensely talented and very gifted with that bucket 🪣 of patience! 🤣😀

    It's coming together nicely. You have a good eye for taste and creativity. I think the knee wall was a great decision. Looking forward to part 4, bringing it all together for finally touching adding the wood stove and furnishings! Can't wait to see what design of decking you add on! Totally amazing, Don is! 💯

    What you call chinking around the cookies, I was calling grout. 😆 My thinking on this, if you want the cookies to go grey, you would have to be so careful to not get any chinking(grout) on the cookies! What a pain that would be. However, that is plywood behind the cookies, which should be protected somehow. I think protecting the plywood is necessary, no matter what method you use.

  • @michaelcox609
    @michaelcox609 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would do a colored mortar in a light tan or maybe something close to the color of your plywood. It would help with the water proofing. It's looking great.

    I’m very impressed how good this looks. I also love how you incorporate recycled items and how with every project your final product looks better and better. Hands down your best build so far.

    Kevin this turned out Awesome!! You know one of the things I love about how you structure your channel is progress and completion. So many TH-cam channels make a whole video of putting in A window in or they will complete something really small and insignificant and the rest of the video is filler. Not you my friend, its progress and completion the whole way through. Minus the batting practice lol. Also I think the glass panels add a sort of industrial look to the building and using the mortar on the front will tie it in perfectly. Great work!!!
