Josh and his videos are so perfect. Not over explaining or under explaining. He no longer calls out people who say he does some thing wrong in the comments. He just states what he does in his situation and his reasoning. He’ll obviously read the comments for anything that he may have missed but we all know there are many ways to do the same thing so he no longer over thinks the comments saying he did something wrong bc it’s not done their way.

I built the same kit at daughter's house last summer . Nice kit with 3 people it went up in 1 afternoon. I would recommend it to anyone.

Kitchen Designer here. Great tutorial, great craftsmanship and thoughtful layout.... But, I believe you have a missed opportunity concering use and maintenance. Elevating the bottom plate with water-resistant feet by 2-3 inches would have allowed the use of a hose and/or weed blower to easily clean debris, water from rain and snow, dirt and dust off and out your patio. The cabinets would stay dry and there would be access for cables etc. for any future changes.

Great demonstration all the way . First deal of the job will be the floor install.

Another fantastic video, Josh - super detailed, no-nonsense, full of tips and things to watch out for. Your videos have become insta-clicks in my youtube feed. Thank you!

This has got to be the most detailed outdoor kitchen build I've seen. I have a dream build for my house that is still a couple years away before we can afford it. Love this! thanks for sharing. Going to bookmark this for sure.

Great work on the framing same as everything I've seen you do.
You must have a massive budget but saving a ton on using your skills.

Getting all the information on a topic is not a bad idea. I think it looks very good. I work in a furniture fabrication and we use 3/4" pvc for the doors of outdoor kitchens.

Josh, I’ve watched a good amount of your videos and I feel like I can build a small town!! Soon enough I’ll be building my work shop and I’ll be referencing your garage video l. Thanks!!

I've always loved special projects. You absolutely did a fantastic job with great description of everything needed all the way down to the color of the chalk line. Laser levels are a great asset to projects like this. Can't wait to see the next sequence of the project.
Checking all the products is so important as you said in case something needs addressed and doesn't hold up the project. Thank you again Josh for such an informative video and the links of products etc. Keep pressing on with everything you do. Great job. 🔨🔨👍🏻👍🏻

I learn a lot from watching your videos. Thank you, Josh.

Glad you got the boss's approval on the depth

What will be the final "skin" or finished surface on the cabinets? I quickly scanned the video and didn't see a mention of that.

[cassielmeng]

Cool vedio really love your style and the way you talked and

[dcduben]

just wanted to say 1st & this is a great video for me cuz im in the beginning stage of my kitchen build

[trevorcorkery]

Aren't you worried having the wood directly on the floor when water gets there and causes dry rot? Would you need some metal legs to lift it off the surface a bit?

[hernandoolarte]

Great and awesome tutorial but could not find the link to your veneer installation. Is there one? Thank you!!

Not a builder nor am I from yanky-land but there are things here that stand-out.
The term "Pressure Treated" is used by yanks a lot but means nothing. If the timber is "Treated" it means with chemicals to resist rot and insects and "Pressure" (Positive pressure and nagative (vacuum)) along with heat is used to drive the chemicalls intot he timber. I see no dye colour to state if that is indoor or outdoor rated treated timber.
Next issue, outdoor and the timber is put directly onto the floor that basically at same higher as ground around it. No barriers for moisture or insects. Putting hole lot on steel pedestalls world fix these issues. Obviously, there is more to the project but the whole area will need screening.
