Much relief after going through this stuff th-cam.com/users/postUgkx-ip-9JdKgYMhubLnEjt3OXJkFyS4D2Jd Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels. Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.
Probably the best Ryan’s th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
I envy Chris & Dot. While the world continues to go mad, they grow their own food, wood supply, energy etc whatever happens it won’t affect them. Even the cat has a better quality of life than most Brits. Well done Chris for being ahead if the game!
I totally agree, as much as I love watching Kris, Dot and the cat on their journey it also unsettles me as I wish that I could be living the same simple life. Great job Kris
Inspirational stuff. Whilst you were milling,planning, cutting,installing,chopping, planing, chiselling,sawing with hug bit of wood and glass, editing, posting, and generally doing manly stuff, I was inspired to hang a door on my campervan conversion this week which t'wife described as "a bit shit". And then I had beer. And picked some puny tomatoes before the slugs got to them, so kinda the same in a way. Almost. Nearly.
Your adaptability, creativity and understanding of architectual load bearing, are producing a natural beauty that gives me such joyous relaxation; within a world of stress and meaninglessness. Thank you for showing us The Way, I feel like I've just had 'cranial massage oesteopathy' after seeing your posts. Best wishes to you, Dot; and your fine feline, sheep, chickens etc etc etc. m
Now it is time to go back to our roots, for humans it is really important to not depend only to employers, but being self sufficient. This man is really clever. I like
I really enjoy the way you build, Kris. You create and employ models, jigs, a lot of math, and always come up with something very organic that looks like it grew from the land. The roof pitch is just right, to my eye. Any higher and it might have looked like a church. Happy building. Have a great day!
I finally thought to write you. I think I've been watching your videos for more than a year now, way back when you started with that round little cabin with the logs, so I guess it's been a while. I just want to say, you're a very talented guy Kris and I love your work. You can be very proud of everything you do. Incredible craftmanship. I love your ideas and really enjoyed all your videos. Good form Chap!
Hi sir yes it's going the right side thumbs up for all the works you do it is nice great building a different style all seems good for a man like you your cats is so funny enjoy your weekend and see you soon
It's your dedication to detail and that you compromise function due to aesthetics in a functional way in. Aesthetics in the end have an impact on quality of live and to weight aesthetics and function is so tricky but you always master it and I really knew each single one of your uploads and love all of them so educational so pure knowing what there is the struggle and seeing your love for nature and living beings its a pure bliss and a statement for goodness is even possible when heart and mind find connection and support of people feeling your power giving power back… really its difficult to find words but your videos flush my live with positivity! Ok and you are a cob, earth, shingle, wood, plant, animals, water power purity lover it‘s like you are just the guy doing quite all the stuff I strongly believe in.
😎 WOW ! I totally agree with your ??? Brilliantly worded written dedication ! After reading it I had to go take a cold shower ?? Plutonicly speaking of course 🤔😂😂😂 Lol
Wow - you are amazing - such an industrious and capable human being building your own life despite the outside crap that goes on. Best of luck in your endeavours.
Freaking brilliant. It must be quite satisfying working your day away in a workshop you planned and built like that. It's been inspiring watching you build up your infrastructure layer by layer over the years.
Been watching your channel for quite sometime now and have to say I am bloody impressed, Living in the UK thankfully you dont get too much of very cold winters, Where I am from its 6 months a year in the high minus, your water generator is amazing and cant believe how much power it puts out thats awesome Wish I could find a way to harness that without freezing up.
been following you since day 1 kris, so happy to see you hit quarter of a million subs, the most deserved for a channel. proud of you bro, keep up the amazing work and heres to the half million coming soon!
When sinking those long screws into hardwoods or just regular lumber, I’ll drag the screw across a bar of soap that I keep in my tool belt. Man it really helps them sink good and tight with a lot less stress on my impact driver and it makes the battery life last a lot longer too. You should give it a try next time your project requires over 3” screws👍
Kris your woodworking is a joy to watch. I'm not making this comment to be critical. I did observe a possible problem with mounting the roof glass. The facia board should have been hand planed to the same angle of the rafters. That way the glass lays flat. I did see at least a 1/4" gap at the lower rafter and glass. I'm afraid of leaks or cracking if not corrected now. I hope I helped without intimidating or chastising your wonderful wood working skills.
I'm so pleased you glazed it. More light will be so beneficial. Beautifully done as always Kris. Hope Dot is grand too. Tiger against ewes was too cute!😂
Me too Kris is the best and puts the moaning money grabbing Indie Project to shame who run adverts every 5 mins no wonder B,s ass needs its own post code .
Look at the way this guy moves with such purpose and concern . he seems to study every motion, checking and rechecking to make sure it's perfect . really a joy to watch such skill.
That 20° pitch looks really smart. Reminds me of some of the visitor centers at the National Seashore around the East Coast of the US. The whole place looks fabulous Kris. Best to Dot and Puss.
I was always taught to put a dab of glue on the wedges for the scarf joint because while unlikely, if they did pop out for any reason, the whole joint will come undone.
congratulations on 250k and thank you for continuing to share your work and life with us! I imagine it must be quite tiring some days to pick up the camera, record and change angles but it provides a valuable escape for a lot of people!
Hi Kris, this is just awesome. It is so nice to know that these things really exist and one person can make such a difference with awesome craftmanship and knowledge. Huge buildings from local materials and milled wood. Also, I really like your personality that shows during these videos.
I love your videos and have been watching 4 years now! One suggestion, instead of lifting the car you could alternatively dig and concrete a pit around 2' wide 5' long and a depth around 5' with a couple of metal covers when not in use. That way you don't have to lift or support anything, and can move comfortably in and out from under the car to work on it while retaining your full shop space. Much cheaper than a modern automotive lift and requires no electricity or power. Love your work, when you were building the water generator some years ago I was so inspired, watched it like a TV series!
Years ago I framed houses. You are correct about the ''spreading'' force when there is no ceiling beam for triangulation. Allow me to suggest something. No car on a lift is going to all the way up. The bottom of the rafters are an upside down ''V'' . This means you can get a small amount of triangulation up near the bottom of your ridge. Figure your narrowest car, measure the roof and have the cross piece an inch higher than the car can go.. Cross piece can be a plywood gusset, steel strap or conventional lumber well nailed. I'm sure you already thought of this, but on the off chance you didn't..........
What an amazing homestead you've built watched all your videos and its making me think about doing something like this myself. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Small minded people feel inadequate when they compare themselves to fellows like Kris so the thumbs down is their only recourse. That's how I see it anyway.
Another great video Kris. Some takeaways from my perspective (for what it's worth). 1) I think you made the correct decision about the roof line/roof pitch. From a cost/benefit perspective, the amount of time you will have the van or whatever other vehicle on the lift will be but a tiny fraction in comparison with the times you will pass by that building being bothered by the aesthetic of an excessive bulge to your roof line. You made the right trade off. 2) This is the first video where I really appreciated the nature imposed rhythm of working with the mixture of power sources you have on hand (i.e. wind, solar, hydro). While at first it might seem a pain to wait for things to power up, if you didn't have that forced downtime, you would have missed out on some of the other simple pleasures around your home such as taking puss puss out for a visit with the sheep. The older I get, the more important I think it is to take time to slow down and appreciate things. This may be a reason why so many of us enjoy this channel and others like it. Can't wait to see the preparation for the turf roof. Very interested to see how that is done so that the wooden understructure doesn't rot away. Great stuff as always Kris!
I loved doing cedar shingles, although you do need plenty, as the overlap is about 2/3rds at shallow pitches. I've also love the spare stainless ARS nails that are left over. Your joinery was as impressive as ever.

Geez I wish I could of comprised such a beautiful comment :)
This is gentleman is an amazing inspiration and genius...love this guy
Imagine how equipped for life you would be if this guy was your dad, a special kind of human being this man is.
that's be pretty hard when he's like 25 and i am at least 20 years older. and my dad could do all this and more. so... yah. +
Now it is time to go back to our roots, for humans it is really important to not depend only to employers, but being self sufficient. This man is really clever. I like
It is very impressive that you are doing all of that by yourself.
Any carpenter can build a building with straight angles but to do what you do is amazing !!!!! love the videos
Kris its a brilliant masterclass display. You are an amazing person to do this kind of build. Well done again.
Thanks for letting us following your journey!
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thanks for posting and sharing. So great to see that you'll have the big sky lights.
Congrats on 1/4 million subscribers Kris, epic milestone
Thank you so much for helping me escape everyday life problems Kris. You are a great inspiration. Please don't stop.
I have seen a majority of your TH-cam work and this episode was one of the better. Thanks.
As a lifetime carpenter- furniture, cabinets, homes, I can do it all. Thank you, for sharing your skills. Love your content. Well done!
Looking good Kris, Always learn something watching your videos.
I really enjoy the way you build, Kris.
You create and employ models, jigs, a lot of math, and always come up with something very organic that looks like it grew from the land. The roof pitch is just right, to my eye. Any higher and it might have looked like a church. Happy building. Have a great day!
For someone who does not know what they are doing I think you are doing very well.
Kris we learn from your designs, but we also like to visit with the animals too! 🐈⬛🐔🐑

Part 69. Very nice! ♡
You are an inspiration, my favourite Friday watch.
Your place is coming together, you must be so proud of it and you should be
Awesome work as usual Kris, this Pitched Glass Roof, and Wood Cupola. The natural sunlight in the top shop will be amazing now.
Mike,
Another fine video Kris! Amazing work and your kindness to the animals is so sweet
Bravo sir. I always find your work fascinating
I am so impressed with your ability to do all you do with construction, especially alone. Love what you are doing 👍👍
Really glad I stumbled across this channel. Really inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
Good call on the roof pitch. Probably improves things massively from a drag perspective too.
It looks perfect Kris. I don't know why, but when I see you working with your own timber I get a warm feeling.
good call on the lower pitch, gotta feel the form for the landscape
If only we all had your vision. But the good thing is we get to see it come to fruition in every episode. Simply stunning mate.
Been watching your channel for quite sometime now and have to say I am bloody impressed, Living in the UK thankfully you dont get too much of very cold winters, Where I am from its 6 months a year in the high minus, your water generator is amazing and cant believe how much power it puts out thats awesome Wish I could find a way to harness that without freezing up.
I love watching you craft your way through every problem.
I love that sleeve you have. High quality videos, man. Fun to watch.
Kris it looks so beautiful. Amazing work well done !
Your creativity is inspiring along with your energy.
The sound of sharp tools is just a joy….
давно не заходил на канал)))ты срезал дреды,помыл голову,сделал прическу)))красавчик!!!молодец)))
really nice design. Simple yet very good looking

This is a really good trick to be honest , and it really dose help your inpacks last longer plush it helps drive them in a lot faster
Yes, as a matter of fact I did enjoy your video Kris. I hope you all have a pleasant weekend.

It was planed i just didn't film it. you can see it as i mount the glass and remove the tape film
@@KrisHarbour thanks for responding Kris. I did miss it. It's going to be a wonderful workshop.
The mixture of the rustic and modern joinery on the roof is very eyecatching! Really good stuff.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Working inside your structural sculpture must be incredibly satisfying. Thank you for taking us along.
I'm so pleased you glazed it. More light will be so beneficial. Beautifully done as always Kris. Hope Dot is grand too. Tiger against ewes was too cute!😂
Really fascinating watching you put everything together.
Thank you! Love your videos and look forward to them every Friday night.
Me too Kris is the best and puts the moaning money grabbing Indie Project to shame who run adverts every 5 mins no wonder B,s ass needs its own post code .
gosh kris it looks fabulous......... thankyou sweets for taking your time to show us your amazing work hugsx
Look at the way this guy moves with such purpose and concern . he seems to study every motion, checking and rechecking to make sure it's perfect . really a joy to watch such skill.
What a great shop to be in when the rain is falling....
That 20° pitch looks really smart. Reminds me of some of the visitor centers at the National Seashore around the East Coast of the US.
The whole place looks fabulous Kris. Best to Dot and Puss.
Fantastic video, Kris! Amazing work! Well done! Thank you for another great video!
huge respect to you!!! the essence of the man...building something
The profile of the roof is nice it will blend in nicely. I can't wait to see the end product. See ya next time.
I was always taught to put a dab of glue on the wedges for the scarf joint because while unlikely, if they did pop out for any reason, the whole joint will come undone.
Beyond the practical stuff and worth ethics (which is impressive), your sense of aesthetic is pretty damn good too. Great tastes
Another fantastic video Kris, you must be immensely proud of what you have achieved. Keep up the good work 👏
congratulations on 250k and thank you for continuing to share your work and life with us! I imagine it must be quite tiring some days to pick up the camera, record and change angles but it provides a valuable escape for a lot of people!
your wood working skills are second to none its a joy to watch your progress on this build
Hi Kris, this is just awesome. It is so nice to know that these things really exist and one person can make such a difference with awesome craftmanship and knowledge. Huge buildings from local materials and milled wood. Also, I really like your personality that shows during these videos.
Good choice on the roof pitch - that roofline looks great!
Always enjoy your videos! Hello from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦👍😎🌲
Kris...the shop is looking better & better, as I watch each video, great Work !
I am always impressed of the precision on your work!
I love your videos and have been watching 4 years now!

Delightful video! Cat, sheep, building. 👏👏👏
Great looking roof! Your skill at framing the windows and wood milling has served you well.
To create is awesome, enjoy what you share
looks great - i agree with the lower pitch - well done...

I never understand the thumbs down goofy’s
“O”well
Thanks for posting

They are just sad woke losers.
Small minded people feel inadequate when they compare themselves to fellows like Kris so the thumbs down is their only recourse. That's how I see it anyway.
I like to think its people that missclick it somehow and dont realize it. No one in their right mind would downvote these videos.
they can't even build a sand castle.. bloody loosers
@Terry Jackson 😂
As a previous woodworker, I can say you did very well! And I can remember that this is indeed very satisfying work.
Just loved what you are doing very inspiring.
this is really wonderful..i love that he built this himself..great stuff
Thanks for explaining your though process and decision. And you have great skills.
Part 69? Nice.
Sounds like you've found the happy medium in terms of roof height/lift size/room usability for other stuff to me 👍
Always so good and interesting to watch Kris.
hi kris that is coming on realy well great to see good craftmanship and the dedication you have thanks for sharing
Great job Kris, you’re making rapid progress. Well done.

Looks beautiful Kris.
Brill! Have loved watching what goes on here, cant wait to do a bit of woodwork soon myself...
I loved doing cedar shingles, although you do need plenty, as the overlap is about 2/3rds at shallow pitches. I've also love the spare stainless ARS nails that are left over. Your joinery was as impressive as ever.
What a incredible artistic/engineer/ craftsman you are Kris .
