Questions And Answers Under My Workshop Porch

“Workshops need to be big, houses don’t need to be big” Please come and tell this in person to my wife.

I don't recall you failing even once. Just lots of learning experiences and demonstrations you've generously recorded for me and others to learn from. I for one really appreciate all your effort in documenting all of this. I've been watching your channel since your early days and its amazing to see your progress. Please don't take this as pressure but your videos help people. Cheers Mate!

So you have gone from novice to master in about 5 years. This is an impressive accomplishment that seems to require the deep skill of learning independently. It is not trivial to be able to learn complex things using the amazing information available on the internet. The information is there, finding it and learning it requires discipline and mental capacity. Not all of us have either. Few of us have both at the level you have demonstrated. Thank you for sharing this very special journey. You have inspired many of us.

I thought you had an Engineering background after watching you build your hydro generator. Looking forward to watching your place grow as you continue to improve it.

Hey Kris, really sad YouTube isn't working for you. I think people like you and Maximus Ironthumper are the lifeblood of the online alternative living community. I personally have an awful lot of respect for you and your can-do attitude. keep up this excellent channel and please ignore the nay sayers. cheers for posting

KRIS I enjoy all your video's. And never give a negative comment on any video's I watch. Being in a wheelchair from age 23 until 57 now, I just like watching other's live there dream. Craig, Ohio, U. S.

'Never done this before, so no reason to think I cant't do it.' Is an awesome and inspiring attitude. When the revolution comes, you're one of the survivors. Unlike the armchair experts you do know how to use your brains and your hands and what it means to fend for your own. Keep up the good work!

Please please please when you’re ready to offer the courses for the house build give us plenty of time to organise time off. I find your ‘have a go’ attitude and confidence so inspiring!!

Nobody learns anything from getting things right every time. You’ve done a fantastic job there. Creating a life from the land. Be proud of yourself. Most armchair experts will never achieve half of what you’ve achieved already

Kris, your humility and perseverance is inspiring. In these very strange times, people are re evaluating what is of value. I am a painter / artist who firmly believes that nature and or environment is neglected in favour of material pisesions. Love your YouTube videos kris.

My girlfriend and I just keep looking at the door you built. It's so beautiful. I'm a pretty good craftsman myself, but I haven't done one as nice as that my friend. As always, love to watch your projects.

Fascinating and inspiring, great Q&A. I was hoping someone might ask about planning permission, building control, etc. Are these required for your buildings? If so, what costs, hassles and delays have you suffered?

Kris. You are watched by thousands of people. Some of us are intelligent, some of us are not! If you receive negative comments about what you are doing, and how you are doing it, it's fair to assume they are from the less intelligent of us. Just ignore it mate, you've got more skill and intelligence in your little finger than them. The way you do stuff is up to you, it works for you, I appreciate you sharing it with us, sure you make errors but that is the best way to learn. I honestly think I can speak for the majority of your subscribers when I say we are 100% behind you. The other (not so intelligent ) should be ignored. Please don't let it get to you....

Really nice video. You have an easy manner in front of the camera, and it's quite easy (for me) to feel I'm listening to a friend. Interesting that you are working with someone in Ireland on the turbines. I live on the Beara peninsula in West Cork, on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. (I got here long before there WAS a Wild Atlantic Way!) Like you I got cheesed off with town life (I'm a Dubliner originally) and live in a bungalow on an acre of the most beautiful land you can imagine imho with mountains filling my windows. Never thought I could survive living in a tiny west of Ireland village, but here I am 20 years later, happy as can be. Keep being Kris, Kris. Great channel!

I live in Wales myself and would love to help you build your house when you get to that point. I also dream of getting my own land and building a straw bale house. I’d love to help out on other projects and learn a bit before mine becomes a reality. I’ll keep an eye and reach out when you’re ready. ☺️

What a Brilliant vlog Kris, very honest and informative. 5 yrs ago I was about undertake a rebuild of a 200yr old ruin of a cottage but unfortunately hurt my back just prior to starting and unable to do so since.. it was going to be my escape from modern life...as I don't need or like the modern way of life...stay safe and stay happy

You are an amazing man. You seem to have a deep understanding of life. But you must understand that what people say dosen't matter. Some people will try to destroy what you are trying to accomplish through comments. What people say cannot hurt or change things unless you let them. It is up to you. Stay safe and healthy my friend.

Your motivation and drive is infectious and definitely contributes to my own well-being so thanks for that. Keep it up man.

Hello Kris love your video's nice place , watching the round house build was awesome an all that entailed for to run off grid , like your style of building things , Peace Blessings Craig

When I found you on YouTube I was totally intrigue on how you were going to build you house and outbuildings and the lifestyle you were going for, I have found it very interesting to watch and learn as you have progressed with your lifestyle.
