- In this video we Glazed the roof with toughened 4mm. I had help from a great volunteer and it really made the job go smoothly. I also thought it would be nice to talk about spring and show another one i found a few years back.

Thanks for always acknowledging the little mistakes. It gives us, lesser talented maker’s, much needed self assurance. Your “Good enough for me”, would be “perfect” for most everyone else. You don’t get all bogged down with microscopic regrets which I believe is what keeps us self reliant, motivated and productive. You are a most inspirational homesteader and, in this world-going-mad, about the only TH-camr that makes me wish I was a lot younger. Thanks for everything...again!
Gary I could not agree more. We need to inspire more of this in the world.
well said....just recently discovered....and am enthralled by the dogged determination to get it right enough....self reliance is still an option....who knew....👍
I am fully impressed! It's just a complete th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions. These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
As a craftsman for over 40 years I’m quite impressed with your skills. Take care of your body, it gets slower to heal as you age. Cautiously increase your efforts when it starts feeling better.
A massage or two after extended heavy lifting would probably be a good idea as well.
@@ceselbnice try, Kris 😅
Finally someone doing a glass greenhouse! Thank you, and I must say that this is a beautiful greenhouse!
There’s is something brilliant about standing in a greenhouse in the still heat with the smell of the vegetation around you 🙂
...when it start to rain outside.
And the rain on the glass!😊🐝❤
@@longuebiseavous oops...didn't see your comment.😊🐝❤
you make me sure in my project - do what u want to do and be yourself in everything! thank u very very much!!!!
What else can I say that others have not said? How many times Wowed?, Inspired?, all the above. Just amazing comes to mind. Thanks
because I've learned quite alot since starting watching your channel! Me southern AZ. (USA)
Love it all the birds singing away while you finish off this little masterpiece.
Ya, So Im not the only one who heard the birds. 🇨🇦
Somebody famous once said "speak softly and carry a big stick" ! So by my reckoning you're okay, and besides you're on your own property. No harm, no foul. ✌❤ Bob.
P. S. It was Theodore Roosevelt
Your craftsmanship is incredible! Whenever I’m fixing or building something, I ask myself “What would Kris do?”. After a quick think, a hot cuppa and a look through your catalogue of vids I invariably find inspiration. Keep it up! Cheers from Canada.
I feel like i'm in lord of the rings. This is the shire and you are a Young Gandalf.

If nothing else Kris is some kind of wizzard.
@@InquisitiveBaldMan wish he would cast a spell on BJ
@@Valisk deffenitly bombadil, maybie even beorn.
You'll never be too young to carry a stick!
Awesome video, Kris!
From spring to fall even on cloudy days when I walk into my greenhouse it is tee shirt weather and a joy. Your going to love it.
Just a point of interest and perhaps the question will answer itself as you continue the build. How do you plan to vent the greenhouse during the summer days. From what I've been told plant growth tends to stop when the air temperature hits the 90s and above. A solar powered fan in the apex would help or shade cloth suspended above the roof also helps a lot. Take care and as always fabulous workmanship.
@@garykuiken6191 just an FYI I generally don’t grow in the greenhouse during the summer. The plants require too much attention. But In august The uk isn’t southern Pennsylvania.
That greenhouse is better constructed and more beautiful than most houses I've ever seen. I don't know if you're a wizard or a genius or if you have an army of fairy helpers, but somehow you make the most amazing things!😊🐝❤
There must be some magic in that stick. No??
@@johnmanning4577 Right! There is some magic in there somewhere.😊🐝❤
Hi, I love your videos, I'm a professional gardener and have worked in the trade for over 30 years. Just a bit of advice.... Ventilation is imperative with a greenhouse. Red spider mite loves hot dry conditions and it's a devil to control if you don't get the ventilation sorting. All the top pains of glass should be opening. I speak from experience. I was in-charge of a national trust garden for many years and one glasshouse had no roof vents and it was very hard to grow anything in, we had to retro fit rood vents in the end.
Perhaps the end walls will have venting panes.
The gable ends the back windows and the door are vents. I calculated it all and that is enough area for ventilation. The gable ends face the predominant wind direction so there will be air moving right through the roof. That is far better than just some vents at the top in my mind.
@@KrisHarbour I fear that that will not be enough, but only time will tell. Maybe shading would be an option worth considering
I followed all of your videos. Man, your work is excellent. My father-in-law told me, today modern houses - with all technical electric tools - is NOT as good as your manual carpenter skills. He said, he'll live in your greenhouse anytime. Lol. Applaused.
Nicely Done. I love how you are never in a hurry.
That's why what he makes is quality and will last, thought and effort has gone into it, made with love.
A beautiful structure The only way to Build a greenhouse I suspect no less I'm a skilled carpenter I can only praise you It's beautiful man
I always give a like, but when the lovely kitten shows up and you pause and give her attention I always smile and give a like right away!
Awesome watching and progress
Super greenhouse. Not cheap. But without plastic and not only for one season. 100% good Job.
“People have had a go at me for carrying a stick!”
yeah kind of sad
Assault sticks should be banned!!!
@@flightofarrow yeah breathing should be banned too
@Gillie Monger hell anytime I think of merry old England ,Sailing ships and someone with a walking stick comes to mind
Glad to see he gives no fucks. When living on undeveloped land, a walking stick is as much a tool as it is a walking aid. Ignorance is the only excuse for thinking he shouldn't use one.
Don't mind the criticism. You've set yourself on a magical journey with the life you've chosen. I imagine many envious people out there without the capacity or opportunity to do what you've done so far.... Cheers!
Hi. People you know how many people carry a walking etc. etc. Stick, they are used for many things.
I love, love that you used glass instead of plastic for the green house. That makes me very happy. Thanks for that and the whole video. Many thumbs up 👍👍👍👍 🥰🐱😻🇨🇦
Nice communication between you and your helper, I've seen so many people working with a helper and they always assume the other person is on the same page. Oddly enough the helper cannot read minds and you cannot read their mind. The job always goes much smoother with a few words. If you were looking for a word (not trying to be a "knowitall") those small chunks at the bottom of the glass are called cleats. Really enjoying watching your projects and I'm still working on your back catalog. Keep posting, I'll keep enjoying the content, thanks for letting us in on your work.
It's a work of art, Kris! Can't wait to see it fully fitted out. I imagine a nice chair in there to read a book and drink a cuppa wouldn't be too bad on a rainy day
Brilliant explanation of springs.
thank you 😁😁👍👍
That green house will also become a landmark if your not careful. I like it because it is unique.
This is just wonderful! Imagine in 30 years how beautiful this will be!
You built a roof ladder, lol. Bloody brilliant. 😊
Roofers call them chicken ladders in the USA
I noticed that you're speaking more slowly and I want to thank you so much. We "foreigners", sometimes, have a bit of a struggle to understand different accents, you know. In this video, I understood every word. Yea! Love your channel and your projects. Blessings.
That greenhouse is the nicest and we'll built I've ever seen. I bet it stands for 200 years.
"It's just a mistake"
This is why I love your vids.
I'm stupidly happy to see the spring refill. The place is looking fabulous!
Kris. That is a beautiful greenhouse for Dot & the Pusey cat 🐈⬛ 😊
WOW! Your greenhouse is truly beautiful!!!
Interesting to hear you speak about the spring dynamic
Always looking forward to your videos Kris. The harmony with which you live on and for the land is both a comfort and inspiration to my soul. Thank you for sharing the methods of this harmony with us. We cannot “live off the land” without living for the land.
Your green house will no doubt finish up as a jewelry box for plantae.
I’m glad you and your friend finished at 5 o’clock on Friday night - would’ve loved to join you at the pub!
Great piece of work, very sturdy greenhouse good effort 👍
Your contraption is called a cat ladder
That is going to be the most beautiful greenhouse.
This is not a greenhouse, it's piece of art =)
Looks pretty much dryed in. Fantastic and a gorgeous structure. 💚💚👍🖒
Hope springs eternal.
Wow,such tedium,but you persevered. Nice job. Beautiful building.
🙂✌❤
Absolutely love it, Kris. Love your interaction with your kitty. I can feel the love you have for her.
Highly professional and prizeworthy greenhouse well done Kris and friend.
Such a nice looking greenhouse. Has a Victorian elegant look to it with the stone, wood, joints and craftsmanship.
Sunday morning coffee with Kris. Thanks for sharing your adventure. God bless.
Kris - the project foreman ;)
Just needs an ornate weather vane on the entrance end ... stunning build. I wait for the video of you in a deckchair catching some winter sun in a balmy warm greenhouse!
What’s the temperature difference outside from inside the greenhouse Kris?If only our younger generation were more like yourself the world would be in a much better place. I know for a fact because you have changed my son’s outlook on life in so many ways for that I thank you Kris so much...keep up the genius work and may god bless you...
Absolutely gorgeous work there Kris 👍
Kris, I've been following your channel from the beginning, quit impressed with what you have learned, put into action, and then accomplished. Even with your so called mistakes, you've pushed forward, corrected, etc. And with very little money. Used your resources on your homestead, and good old ingenuity...WELL DONE . I'll keep watching your journey forward. Thanks for bringing us along.
Fantastic build.
You’re such a genius Kris!
Kris I have a spring in my garden to its just like yours and water very clear...I'd really appreciate if you did just a specific video on that bog ya mate found in woods and how you dig it and add gravel tbh I'd rather learn off you not the other vids on TH-cam as I'm UK also cheers and you clearly no the score.
Keep vids coming 😊❤
You are a DIY Genius! It is fun watching you working and explaining so well. Thank you so much for showing and taking your time for all the Videos.
Great work both of you. Looking fantastic already. Also appreciate the cat cameos.
The drought definitely affects most springs. Rain affects the ground water level and therefore some springs that are high in elevation might not work. It seems to me that the spring close to your lake isn't an actual spring but an underwater stream that comes from the lake, i.e. it flows relatively high up/close to the forest floor. The main difference is that the water oozing from a proper spring (which is deep ground water) is most often drinkable as i. Whereas, an underground river water is pretty much the same as the lake water. 10/10 greenhouse!
You two work so well together. Another outstanding Kris Harbour original.
I love springs.
My favourite piece of work on your property, building wise is your glass house. It can only be described as beautiful. I can't tell you how many times I have revisited this video. Best wishes from Sligo, Ireland.
Looks beautiful. ... my wife said: it looks like a house not like a green-house :-)
I can see this greenhouse living for hundreds of years, great work!
Really stunning build! Probably one of the nicest greenhouses I have ever seen. I can't wait to see the finished product. Interesting info about the spring. My parents house in Ireland has been supplied by a spring for the last 30 years and never run dry. But on very rare occasions has become cloudy for a few days, usually after snow or very heavy rain. I'm going to do some research into why after watching this video.
Really beautiful Kris
Stunning work mate
Brilliant job
Good job, marvelous green house 👍🏻😎🙏
Always enjoy watching ... and I learned something new about ground water/springs.
Thank you, as always, for sharing your journey
love this build, bloody good work.
I really enjoyed the spring talk and would like to see a video if you ever clean one out to make it flow.
awesome, great to see your back at it mate
Great Job Kris legend 👏
Water is the giver of life.
Amazing, just amazing!
Greenhouse looks amazing. Hope your shoulder is healing
Kris,
It look great, you must be super happy...
Take care.
Paul,,
Good job showing telling, about the springs and nice sun house for the food or what ever you want to grow right right. Well like all ways have a good one and see ya next time see ya by.
looking forward to when you build your house Kris. it is going to look awesome!..
That’s amazing Kris. Such a talented guy. You should be so proud of yourself for everything you have achieved and living your life the way you want. Love this channel.
Lovely job last a life time that one
Your greenhouse is the best quality craftsmanship I've seen on you tube . I like the way you used foam tape to allow for glass movement. Your piping "in" spring water is brilliant. I am proud to be your 200th patrion. P.S. You and Dot are so lucky to have each other. I love seeing you work together.
very, very good job with the greenhouse! the only point I would be very concerned about personally would be the use of glass for the glass of the greenhouse. I have always prioritized plexiglass for this, because in our region there is very, very often strong hail with ping-pong ball-sized hailstones! that would be the total desaster for panes of glass of this size and thickness. greets from Germany
You and your mate did a Superb job - Nice seeing you used real glass - Thank you again for sharing - stay safe...
Good work.
The 20ml out may yet be a marvellous addition. As the sun belts down ( as it always does in Wales😁) and the glass expands, there will be room enough. It's all good and of course it is magnificent Kris. Wishing you and Dot a fantastic growing season. xxx
The springs are very interesting as is the lovely greenhouse
Wow puts my greenhouse glazing today on the allotment plot to shame lol what a build though I am seriously jealous of the land and life u lead
Props for good measurement, so nice to see it all slot into place so well, satisfaction level 100
you have an good eye for details!! And, I like that you are a catlovers like me, those men is soft men we call them, that is good!! You have as much rain as we have in Norway/Sweden.
Congratulation to me and Norway for our nationalday to day, may 17. :-) Our nationalday is a big thing, but, those two coronayears have we not been able to celebrate, sadly.
Looks amazing.Well done.
Fantastic work, a real piece of craftsmanship 👍
That greenhouse is epic!!
A simple suggestion: perhaps on the roof you should have used plaxi glass....less chance that things might fall and breaks..,..everything else you have done a marvelous job. very Inspired by your quality of wood work and engenering.
Simply beautiful!
Beautiful sturdy structure that will last eons. Can’t wait to see it full of food plants!
After some wildfire on our property that removed a few acres of brush, we discovered a steep hill with several extremely damp areas. I already dug into one and am getting 150 gallons a day from it. such a silver lining.
Wooohooooo, I've been waiting for this all weekend!!
Thanks Kris great video! 🤩👏👍👍👍💯💯💯
Awesome thank you for shearing your knowledge
