I love how Dave is one of the only UKposts DIY video producers that does not turn a 15 min video into 12 parts! He also like the Great Andrew Camatata does not spend the first 5 min on the video jumping around like a mad man doing self promotion. Thanks Dave and Happy New Year!

Watching Bush radical is like sitting comfortably by a wood fire! Love this channel!

love to sit back with a ginger ale, prop up my feet, and watch your videos!! There's just no graceful way to get off a roof!!

I love how straight-forward and uncomplicated you made this. You hit all the basic points of any frame structure. well done

Love this video format. Very light-hearted, yet very instructive and engaging. Glad you got it done!

Great video Dave! As a retired engineer, it's refreshing to see your approach and execution to such a project. Well done, and very inspiring! Your background music goes perfectly with the whole presentation. Thanks!

Good job on the safety tips. As someone who has fallen through a roof, 12 feet to a concrete floor (not recommended), you were spot on. I am glad I did that when I was 18. Us old guys don't bounce nearly as well!

That stone silo in back is a beauty!

Dave, I live my life in a wheelchair. Double amputee. Your ideos and Brook's videos give me time for escape. God bless both of you.

Dave. Thanks again for inspiration. I want to go out in the cold and build something now. Also learned something in this video! I’m in the 12x10 cabin ya taught me to build in 2020. 18 degrees outside nice and warm inside. Thank you again for the inspiration and memories.

You sure make everything you do look easy! It's actually relaxing to watch you work. Congrats on an excellent job. Looking forward to your next video!

I did something very similar this past summer that I am proud of. Great firewood storage as well as stuff I don’t want in the garage (splitter, oil pans, etc). Great video. Stay warm!!!

I'm getting prepped to build my own greenhouse this Spring, so I am watching every video I can find that deals with shed construction. I like that you take your time and explain things clearly while also showing us what you mean. There are WAY too many time lapse building videos on here. I don't get anything except frustration from them.

I enjoy your videos. Tip... I was in construction since early 80s and posts went to pressure treated but they were lasting too long. So construction crews started selling the concrete pitch. Now the posts last about 10 years in concrete. I've still got posts after 25 yrs.

Being out of the "do it yourself" life for the foreseeable future I pretty much live vicariously through your videos until I can get back in it. Always enjoy it when you drop a new one. The only problem with this one was.... it was too short! Just kidding. I know it's not easy to make these things but I wanted you to know how appreciated it is when you do. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.

Would you make a video on wood stoves? Burning, temperature control, but mostly installing and everything about the care and maintenance - specifically, how to change the rope wrap surrounding the stove opening , as well as the ribbon cording that goes around a wood-stove glass window and how often to replace them. What to do if the stove glass breaks while hot and stove is a blaze, where to purchase new glass & it’s install. Maybe about safe distance from walls, wall liners, wood-stove install in an existing brick fire place and chimney liners as well as safety preps for flooring to set a woodstove on. Great if you can provide above information and “how to” for cabins or existing house. Love this lean-to video, I sent to my brothers.

Dick Proenneke would be proud watching of you. He is another Alaska Legend.

Great job Dave. I've one to build on a 60' barndo this spring. It's always nice to learn from another's mistakes. I'll keep my cordless drill on my tool belt 😂

I really enjoy when I see a video of yours, or Brookes, or your brothers, or your son's. Some projects are simple and some are complicated and others are in the middle. Thanks so much for making a day for an old gal .

This if just what I needed this afternoon.

I Could watch him forever its so calming,

I loved this video. Actually, I have really loved every video you have put out good sir. Stay safe and I can not wait to see what other little side project you have coming.

Always take the time to work safely on a ladder or while working aloft. I once rushed to finish a job because it was so freaking hot , 104 degrees in August. Needless to say I’d ended up falling 18 feet. Broke my left wrist in 3 places, broke 2 ribs, and completely tore my left rotator cuff and left bicep. Took me over a year to recover and heal up. Lucky I was wearing a hard hat at the time, otherwise I think I would have stove my head in. Don’t compromise on safety.

Love how simple and fast you put up structures. They are also practical!

And just like that…..another episode of Dave Whipple building something mildly interesting while providing an entertaining monologue.😊

I learn something from every one of your builds! Entertaining and educational! I enjoyed this! Great job, Dave! 🙂

Missed watching you build things.

Dave- you are the best teacher ! I want to build a storage shed and I don’t even have anything that needs covering! You are extremely entertaining and informative! Thank you! Happy New Year! 💕🇺🇸💕

Wow! Great job! Really like that extra storage. We need to add that on our hay barn. I wonder if we can do that before our snow comes tonight?!😅

Good descriptions on the building for someone who’s never taken on a project like that! All made more possible because you’re wearing pnw handmade boots. Fine work all around.

St. Helen exit 222 here 🙋‍♀️ in 2 feet of snow now 🙌🥳❄️ Have to say I appreciate your videos so much more now knowing you do the music. Sweet!!! 👏🤗

That build technique has come at just the perfect timing! I'm attempting a almost identical build on approximately half the size next week, thank you for the great tips on getting the angle cut from the building outwards. I wouldn't mind having some snow aswell 😂.. great video Dave & Happy New year 🎉

Top notch video. I have the project coming up. South side of my Utility Storage Unit.. You guys keep us handicap veterans entertained.

Dude. That hack for measuring the rafters might be the coolest and most useful thing I’ve ever learned from UKposts. Thank you!

I absolutely love him and his wife’s (girl in the woods) channel

Nice job Dave! I'm getting ready to add two lean to's off my barn and this was a great how to. Stay safe!

I was telling my wife how much I enjoy watching you, how your presentation is so much better than many out there. She said, "Have you told him? He might appreciate it given all the negative comments he receives." So I'm doing just that. Love ya, brother!

I'm a retired professional carpenter and I have to say, Love your work and your Keep it simple I diot aditutte ❤ and your concept of Big Government. You're a great person LOVE YOU MAN.

Dave Whipple, you crack me up! You made a fun and funny video out of a brilliant little add on while sparing with the weather. 😂 And I just love noticing how unique a brand your background music makes your channel which ironically does blend into the background while tying everything together. Best wishes and happy new year from Massachusetts. 🎉 Stay safe!

Your family is so blessed to have you there to just stop and build stuff y'all need without fuss.

Thanks for all the motivation with your videos. last month my dad and I built a 12x16 cabin with no experience. We had a similar issue putting on the metal roof too, started sleeting when I was up top.

Enjoyed the lean-to build and the snowstorm ❄️ Dave

Love the sliding off the roof and feeling for the ladder trick 😅. I like that your content includes those real life situations most of us have been in. Your channel is my favorite Dave because you are so relatable.

IV been stuck at home with a shattered ankle. You n your wife have kept me sane and distracted while I'm stuck inside. Thank you! Sending love from the Adirondack mountains of NY

Love the videos Dave, it’s therapeutic being able to build and take your mind off of other things. Stay warm and Go home and sleep well. God bless you and the family. Until next time.

Love your videos been watching for 4 years.

I always felt this channel could be picked up by a TV program and it would do well. I just looked at the subs and see it's over a million! Congrats!

Very nice build. I like how you used no nail guns, laser levels or other fancy tools. It goes to show you don't need much to make a proper structure!

This is exactly what I'm wanting across the back of my barn! Thank you!

Always enjoy your videos Dave. This one shows how uncomplicated building is, and is so matter of fact and unpretentious, it shows people that they can do it, too. I built my own shed years ago, and have toyed with the idea of expanding it, or doing another. Now I just have to get off my duff and do it!

Dave, I could watch you all day. You are a wonder. Glad you got it done safely.

Thanks respect from the Highlands of Scotland

Thanks, Dave, really enjoyed the video.

My family & I have enjoyed watching your videos, we’ve learned so much the past couple years .

Another masterpiece in video and construction. Greetings from Sunny SW Florida 😎

Wow! You have good timing Dave! That's something I'd like done to the back side of our shed... Then I could make an outdoor kitchen!!

beautiful!

Thanks for this! You make it seem doable to someone who's never really built anything.

Love that old brick silo (?) behind the lean-to. 😍🇨🇦

Good one, Dave! Last summer a friend and I built a 25’x12’ lean to on my barn and it turned out great. I’ve also built a 12x12 woodshed and a garden shed by myself and boy do those clamps come in handy to hold boards in place when you’re working alone. I actually prefer to do things by myself so I can take my time (I’m 68) and figure things out, because I have no professional carpentry experience. I make a lot of mistakes pros might laugh at, but I also find it rewarding when I finally get things to work out. I’m the only one who sees and uses the things I build. They work fine for me, and that’s good enough. Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them and learn a lot. ✌️🍎👍

Dave when digging post holes you should try a manual ice auger. The kind you would use for ice fishing. You would be surprised how fast and easy it is to dig a hole versus a traditional post hole digger you used in this video.

Glad to see you are posting more builds, even though you mentioned late last year that you didn't want to do more builds.

I enjoyed how Dave complimented himself when he cut the corner post. "Nice" yup good job

Another excellent video. Thanks, Dave.

Hammer, nails, string line, post digger, chainsaw... a man's man for sure! 👍 Voice over is epic!

Great content.

You're a good guy Dave Whipple. I live in a big city apartment and can't really build much here, but I don't miss any of your relaxing and educational videos.

Wrapping them is just a real pain. Font think i could handle all thst snow. Take care, Dave.😊

Hi Dave, Thank you for all your videos and simple to follow instructions. I enjoy your outdoor projects because they always give me ideas and I enjoy the scenery. All the best to you, Brooke and your family.

Dave, I would watch you build anything for alot of reasons. You are great at telling a storey with so much humour, fun and your facial expessions are priceless. Love the can o beans. 😁 I like how you left the drill on the roof. No mistakes. 😂 How did you tie the car tow rope up there in the first place? 😅 If I ever need to build a leanto, now I know I should hang up a tow rope first. Then once the roof sheets are on, the rope is already in place. But truth be told, I have never built anything. Maybe one day, with your brilliant instructions at least I can watch your videos and can build anything. Seriously, I love watching your videos. They are relaxing, fun, educational, practical, easy to follow, you are a great person, great humour no matter what the circumstances are like a snow storm, plus you play some cool music too. 👍 Great job, look forward to whatever you are building or doing next! Take care Dave. Waving from Germany 👋👋😎🎶🏡 stay radical ay😉

I just love your channel and the music you create makes it unique. Thank you.

absolutely love the wholesome, knowledge packed content you create, Dave. Hope this year is treats you well. Cheers.

Excellent video!! I always had my Dad to help me with my projects but lost him a few years ago. Even tho Ive done so much I just don't have the confidence to do it myself. I've been looking for a YT channel that explains all the steps to a project thoroughly but after watching various channels I couldn't find any, until now! I love the total breakdown but still short and sweet. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos and will be watching many more! Thanks so much!!

From West Chester, OH - Respect you and your videos Dave. What a fantastic video on extending storage space on MI terrain!

Happy New Year to you and the family!. Just wanted to let you know the book your aunt wrote, Albanian Escape, was a really interesting story. It would actually make a great movie. I love reading the books based on true WWII stories. Your aunt seems to have been one tough lady and certainly one to be proud of. I am so glad you mentioned the book.

I watch Dave everyday..Love hearing his voice to , Kind of calming ..He is family in my heart Thank you Dave for filling a void in my life you mean a whole to me and my family you just didn't know it

Nice as always Dave. When I eliminated a casement window, installed a sliding door, and put a roof on 16 ft of my 30 ft deck, I too finished up in the snow. I live in Maine so once November comes anything can come out of the sky!

Thank you for the entertaining video Dave. It sure was nice to see you 😊😊 Happy new year to you and your family ❤❤🎉🎉

Dave, you are beyond radical! Love it🤣

Your like the bob ross of building it’s so relaxing watching your building videos

Love the safety tips. And when you're working alone, a great idea.

I think you have the best channel of all. I love watching you build this stuff.

Lucky you didn't wait a week! :) Below 20s here in Texas so I am sure it is crazy up there. Stay warm!

Bravo!! Great job Dave on this lean shed ❄❄☃⛄❄

Helping my buddy further north, up near Chicago with his fences, I was amazed to find out that termites don't like colder climates and posts straight in the dirt are much more prevalent up there.

I'd need to dump a load of pea gravel under there too- must be a girl thing😅. Another great video from my favorite sage👍. Y'all inspired us to build a chicken coup, night yard and run: it's epically bad but it's been standing for 2 years and we're getting better as we go- thanks Dave!😉

love your "how-to" videos....no long, drawn out unnecessary dialogue like many videos ....just clear and understandable, to the point instruction for the project at hand. I have been building houses and structures since my teens ( am now 62) and worked alongside several carpenters to learn what I have so far. I will stress I am NOT a carpenter, just a "builder"... LOL !...I have always learned something new from your videos. Your presentation of the material is very well done !! Thank You !

Thanks Dave! I am going to install a lean-to on the back of my garage. now I have a good plan to complete the project.

Nice little build. Thanks for taking us along.

I always learn so much from your channel. Great work!

Nice work Dave. I really like this double header style for added strength.

“Might as well drive myself to the hospital now” 😂 Yup.

Wow that snow is beautiful.I like the lean two Thanks Dave. Always look forward to your videos.

Thanks 🙏🏼 Dave Angels be with you always my man Thank you for all you do

13:44 Lot of good things in this video, but I especially like the rope assist for getting on/off the roof. It's the one part of any kind of roofing work that is terrifying. Also, thank you kindly for putting some B roll in of the nails and screws to perform various operations. It's like with carpentry jigs: great idea, sometimes hard to understand though without SEEING it in action.

Nice work!!! Interesting foot work too!!! Glad you are safe!!!🙏😂❤

Great idea Dave really enjoy your videos, -11* here tonight but better than the -33* wind chill last night walking the pooch 🥶.

I love this video. Short, sweet and to the point!

You're awesome Bush and so is your work😊.

Dave is cool. Seems like a good guy. Always enjoy his videos.
