    Hi Ken! Really enjoying your transition from stick built structures to these smaller projects which can be DIY for most folks! Love the coop and the run and the greenhouse which can be scaled up to the needs of a particular viewer. Love your channel!

    Ken when I was in shop class in school. Yes, back in the 70's they had shop class. My projects always matched by plans 'PERFECT'. One day the instructor wanted to see my plans? As I explained they were all in my head, he was not happy. I did get an 'A' in the class because my projects met all the requirement. I like the simplicity, of the projects. You make them interesting, good build and practicable. I have a tendency to overbuild and then I have to figure out how to move them. Great Video. No snow in Oklahoma and you can have it.

    Very fun project. I didn't see that one coming! Who doesn't want or need a wishing well? So, another hit from Kens Kenstead. Looking forward to the wrap-up video. You're providing enough knowledge and expertise to make hundreds of youtube viewing novices feel like they can do it too! Wonderful series.

    Smart thinking. I built my cabin with dimensional lumber sizes in mind and I only had small cutoffs for the burn pile. By the way, a shop bandage is painter's tape. lol
    Nice project,

    Good morning Ken and crew( Kyia), love the old wishing well. When we bought our home in Maine in 1983 there was one here. Heckter, the former owner was a one to use old things, this well was built with old barn boards, I think he even used old nails ! That well lasted till about 2015, Oh Ken, remember u-tube dose not like BLOOD & GORE 23:45 !!

    It is good that you planned ahead for the snow. . . . now you will not have to get up and shovel the snow off the roof from your wishing well. Be careful on the roof. 😊

  • @StoneKathryn
    @StoneKathryn 7 місяців тому +2

    I'm glad you're rebuilding a new "wishing well" well head cover. I think it'll be a lot more presentable than the original. It's looking really nice. I'm glad you made the roof a separate piece. That was really cute seeing Kai jump out of the wishing well! It looks fantastic Ken!

    Gooooooooood afternoon, Ken. I built one over my well pipe 20 years ago.... aside from losing one roof board, it's held up really well. But, it is time for a new one. You've motivated me to get it done this summer. :)

    Nice looking wishing well Ken. Makes me want to build one even though I don't have well. I have always wanted to build an outhouse complete with Wards catalog but I bet the town would not like that. Maybe that should be your next project for the Kenstead.

    Everyone should have a Wishing Well..Let's dedicate this one to Timmy, what do think ?
    I have no idea what your next project might be ,perhaps a Garden shed garden tools all the shovels forks etceta and of course your wheel barrow.
    Only thing I see as a problem is you're going to run out of space in yard but you're so good at solving problems I'm sure you'll manage some which way..
    Fun project Ken
    Take care Ken
    Cheers from me and New Brunswick where we are having the same snowstorm

    As a career construction electrician since 1964 (when safety wasn't the #1 topic), electrical tape along with a piece of napkin or clean TP, was always the "job-site" bandaid . "First Aid Kits" weren't all that common. Maybe a bandaid or two in ones wallet !! Also, GLOVES were only for jobs like digging and were thick heavy leather things so they were totally incompatible for the routine working tasks. Consequently, your hands were either a bit "tougher" or ????

    I assume the wishing well is just an "artistic" piece. Our well top just sticks out of the ground 8' from the house.
    Good idea to leave Kaiya inside, I think her legs are too short for that Saturday 13" snowfall ;)

    That is more like a flower garden wishing well instead of one in your yard you need to make it at least 3 to 4 ft square and high on those sides and put more overhang solar water won't get on it and ruin it then put you a cross piece of 44 with should have been in the uprights but Crosby's across there and take the corners off of it and then maybe smooth it down with her ass for something in the middle and put you a rope on it and a crank out on the end would really make it look nice I personally insulated down in there over the well even though you don't have no problems I would figure out some way of putting a couple pipes about 6 ft longer or whatever driven down into the ground as long as you don't hit the pipes or the wires so you can anchor it and it will not blow away
