Are Dormers DIY? Home Renovation / CYCROWN E-Bike 

You ARE that kind of carpenter Lucas...and with Sarah by your side you are Team Invincible!🥳💞🌻

Clearly you ARE that kind of carpenter. I see a dormer that wasn’t there before sooooo 😅 You and Sarah make a good team. It’s awesome to watch the two of you work together.

I wish grandpa was here to see you attempting this instalation. ❤

this has made a huge difference to both the exterior and interior and you did a fabulous job. I do have a tip for simplifying the reno and making it easier though - keep sarah's sister away from photoshop! 😂😂😂

Ii really love you folks' channel -- incredible family, incredible house. I watched Wabi-Sabi back in the day, after you'd mentioned them. I like DIYfferent too.

You may not be a carpenter by trade but you are definitely a carpenter, this home you’re building proves that! It’s always nice to have those you love support and encourage your hard work!

How do you think master carpenter got to be a master? Learning ,trial and error...your the man.....hugs

With everything u have done to ur home Lucas, retrofitting the dormer has impressed me the most! That took guts.

Lucas, you can do anything. Maybe not a carpenter but a true craftsman. And Sarah, she's a Mother, Wife and women that only comes around once in a lifetime. You are very lucky sir. Thanks for sharing, nice work as usual.

You slowly bit by bit trained yourself to be a carpenter. Looks nice, sturdy and dry.

Don't sell yourself short. You do a terrific job. It's nice you are living in the home with your family around you.

I had to laugh when you mentioned the CYCROWN would handle 330 lbs. In my mind's eye I pictured your entire family on it (and not EXCEEDING the limit) and what a sight that would be🤣!

You went thorough all the same steps that any carpenter will do except the carpenter will go by plans. You did all the right measurements and improved strength on this new dormer compared to the other. I like that you raised the window sill as now it fills better. People before must have been small as I find it hard to stand next to a window that's quite low. Gives me Goosebumps. Keep up the great job as for the cycle it feels better when you use the pedals as pedal assist, not using the pedals it's the lazy way to ride.

You guys are inspiring, from the beginning till now it has been a joy to watch. Much love from Australia xxxxx

You play the best music out of all the channels I watch.

U r doing awesome, remodeling a house for your family is priceless.

Your grandpa would be so proud of you! I was stressed watching. You are a wonderful team. Looks beautiful. I love it.

So admire you and Sarah’s tenacity and workmanship 💕 always an interesting and engaging visit guys. It was big Lucas!! You measured, figured, measured, cut (which must have been heart stopping). But the dormer looks fab! And even better with the extra height 💗 And such a touching appreciation for lovely Sarah 😢. Have a great week family.

To me, I think yours looks better, as in where it's placed. That was a great idea, it just looks more symmetrical. You and your lovely wife are perfect examples of teamwork makes the dream work!!! You're more capable than you think. And with the right people backing you, you can move mountains. 🥰

At this point I am fully convinced yourself and Sarah could build a house from scratch! x

That's my motto, I'll figure it out. I'm not a carpenter either, but I figure if someone did it before me, there's a way, just have to figure it out. Makes for great retirement projects too. Redoing my bathroom now, quite a big bite, I'll watch a lot of YT and read a lot of books, but I will figure it out. Keep at it.

Great work, Lucas and nice teamwork. It's good you don't underestimate th support of Sara and the boost she gives you by being there, every step of the way. Thanks for sharing, from UK.

Lucas, you are amazing! The window turned out so well. You will enjoy having another window there for years to come.

No bigger sense of accomplishment than a successful dormer install!

You'll enjoy those windows more than any other windows in the house!

You are a carpenter. No kidding aside that came out nice. You have a good woman by your side who believes in you. You can do anything ❤

Lucas, your patience to learn and work through a project is incredibly inspiring. It has been amazing to see over the years and happy you’re still pushing your boundaries so you are happy with the results.

I think you graduated from a “sand old wood kinda guy” to a true craftsman! That existing window always needed to be shorter, good eye!

Looking good Lucas ;) just make sure you over lap your paper properly for the water. But at the end it will always be fine, don't worry and don't play with you blood pressure ;)

I can't believe you doubted yourself, look at what you did! Sarah is amazing letting you figure it out, she is perfect for the Debby Doubter that you are, she seems to believe in you. Great stuff, I so enjoyed this video and to tell the truth, I like the dormer you made better than the original, lifting the window was just what it needed, well done.

Looks like a dormer window is a really scary business. 😓 Measure fifty five times, cut once!. Love your cool head Sarah. That blue T-shirt shows the colour of your eyes amazingly. 🫐

Faith is a good thing you have a wonderful wife who loves you, we hope sometime in the neat future You will have more faith in yourself, always glad to see you grow ! ❤

You never cease to amaze. You can't convince me that you don't know what you're doing. You've been doing it all along.

Let in a lot of light as soon as you cut the first piece could see the difference. Great job and you should be proud of yourselves because that is a scary job seems so complicated. Again you have out done yourself again. Fantastic! Peace!

Good thing its warming up. You’ve made my symmetrical OCD happy. 😊

You have the desire & determination to do your projects & you are so blessed to have such a wonderful supportive helpmate !! With the 2 of you you are accomplishing a lot of changes to your house it is a work in progress and you both have the desire to see it thru to the end. Keep up the good work !!!

You weren’t that kinda carpenter before, but you sure are now. Looks great!!

Great addition to the primary bedroom.

That DOES look great. I think you are this kind of carpenter but just are afraid to admit it. :) Fantastic work! You should be proud of yourself. On a side note, your blue eyes were glowing in that last shot. Probably because of the shirt, but wow. I'm jealous.

Still love watching your videos I have been watching every time you post since the first quarantine in 2020. I know your kids will really appreciate being around when you were building bc I know helping my parents build things really has helped me. Hope you have a great day.

I love the whole open the side of house and then ya mother nature's says get it done before I get you.

Lucas you are a carpenter. You have started years ago and have learned like every other carpenter did, BY DOING IT !!! When things go wrong you figure it out. Look what you have accomplished with that house! I think the dormer looks great and it looks exactly like the other and you said you wanted to windows higher and you will adjust the other one 10" higher ............it looks terrific and actually fabulous. Just follow the other pattern and it's right there as a "teacher" and you are an excellent student! Sarah is a wonderful partner and yes, she does believe in you because you prove to be her hero each time and yes, she trusts in you as that what a "couple" does for each other. I have learned after 57 years of marriage to trust in the process and if something goes wonky, we just start all over again, it's wood, it can be fixed, it is frustrating at times but that's how we learn, just like the children or ourselves in school.......if we did it wrong we did it til it was right and Whoooooooooooo :-) yeah we learned!!! You take such pride in your work and it is amazing what you can do and figure out.........I think you have done a brilliant job on everything you have done. You are a perfectionist and harder on yourself than anyone else could ever be. LOL You might ask how I know that? Takes one to know one I guess. LOL Hang in there, you're awesome, just ask Sarah and the kids. Rock on and keep on keeping on. Blessings and I can't wait for the next video............... 😊😊😊😊

You can do anything, we’ve watched you for years!👍🏻😂

You're not that kind of carpenter? Well you are that kind now - doing is learning. Very well done to you both.

Wow you framed out a new window. Very well done. Just shows you hey, if you put your mind to something you can do far more than you think you are capable of doing. I don't think you will regret doing this project and enjoying the light coming into the room and the views from up there looking out into the garden. Very well done you two.

I enjoy watching you tackle new projects. Brave and you go for it. Your have skills you have developed over the term of this project. You are very particular and it shows in your work. Nice.

I watched a gentleman on à château channel add three dormers to his barn conversion to allow light in the loft . He made it seem really easy and straight forward. I know you can do it to.

Both exciting & super scary at the same time!! There's a bunch of ways you could of made the process easier but, kept the framing period appropriate which is worthy of RESPECT!! Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!

I agree that you are an amazing carpenter. I am always impressed with your willingness to take on, what seems to me is an overwhelming task. The window dormer looks incredible.

You guys are too cute!!!! You mentioned Sarah's confidence in your ability, I was watching you measure and plan next to that wall before you cut. It was like a conversation you and the house were having. You asked it to have confidence and trust in you. What a great job you guys continue to do.

You are a FAB carpenter ! Never doubt that. You guys make a great team. Dormer looks amazing and much respect to you for doing what the majority of us would be terrified to attempt.

Congrats you had success! Way to go! The 1806 Stone House Team gets another WIN!

It's all good! You and the fam building the dream! You surprise yourself!

Thanks for filming Lucas! 👍😁👍😁

WOW! Just wow! You two are AMAZING!

Challenge seen, challenge met, well done. Something of an extreme adventure, but you are winning through to what you both needed and wanted. Most importantly, nothing fell down, least of all the people on the roof!

glad it went well and you are proud and appreciate your wife. it does look good.

Well you clearly are that kind of carpenter now and you got lucky big time because Sarah is AWESOME 😊 Disclaimer - the following is self deprecating humour and NOT meant to be taken seriously please. What puts me off buying an e-bike My legs don't work anymore 🤣😂

Yeah. I’ve done plenty of home projects but when you cut a hole in the side of the house. It’s crazy stressful. Look great!

Great change to the house! Terrific bike, been thinking of getting one!

wow, wow, wow!!! i was waiting for this video and it did not disappoint!!! i'm so stinking proud of you. this is amazing. cutting that hole in your house and roof....wowza i was anxious. i knew it worked out, but i can only imagine how you were feeling at that moment. Congratulations!!

I'd almost say put a big dormer clear across both windows (instead of two small dormers make one big dormer).. that would let in soo much light.. You did a wonderful job! Obviously you ARE that kind of carpenter. LOL

Another great job! You and Sarah make a perfect team!!

Holy Moly you are good. It’s going to be so nice when you get it done. Thanks for another great video. 😊😊

Wow!! Excellent!! Just seal it up tight!! You are so smart!!

Well there is a new dormer, and it looks perfect. Guess you can do it... You just proved it. I think it looks freaking fabulous!!!! Are you going to do it on the opposite wall too?? It'll look very intentional... By the way, I think that you may now add that to your list of carpentry skills, you leveled up 😎 !!

That dormer is beautiful!!!!

Far out, that is impressive!! Looks incredible 👏👏

You are a competent human being. Job well done!!!

Looking great! Guess dormers are DIY for you...awesome job!

I hope you are very proud of what you have achieved so fare. For someone that is not a professional and self taught, you really are quite skilled and its so fun to watch your progress. Hope for more longer videos soon. They go too quickly.

Great job, Lucas! You are an inspiration. Good luck with the rest of the project(s). 🙂

I know I'm behind on videos. But this is truly amazing! Be proud of yourself.

Looks good! Anything possible if you take the time to plan and attack it when you're in the right frame of mind. Looks great!

Yeah, Sarah has faith in you, but you should hear what the kids say. LOL. Rebuilding the other dormer will make everything look original. However, when the roof was cut away I thought a skylight would be ideal and fill the room with light. Of course I have no idea what use the area below it will be. Just thought it would look cool.

I LOVE the dormers. Great job!

"Its the way they did it" not always a great resource. But there is something to be said for the proof is in the pudding. Good thing you decided to this before replacing that roof.

No going back,😂😂😂, I lost it.

Wow, dang those blue eyes!

You two are amazing, great job the window looks awesome 👍👍

I really love this song.

Lucas you do an awesome job and the lovely Sarah loves and trusts you so much. You work as a pair with a amazing goal in sight I wish you and family so much love and light. ❤

I would still keep the stairs going up to the master suite. Think of it like this. You're a sixty something woman that needs to go.... right at the top of the stairs is the powder room....

Wow that's amazing. Another brilliant job

Window looks great!!! Awesome job!

Wowww I bet you're glad you gave it a try... it turned out great ❤

Lucas Sarah has good reason to trust you. You always amaze me. Hi again from the land of Anne.

I love it. But seeing it I’m overcome with the desire to have one big dormer!

Geez, you CAN do anything!!

Pro tip can you please charge it outside so run less of the risk fire. Lithium battery can combust out of blue.

It looks fabulous my friend.

Good on the both of you!

I definitely would have put some braces under those couple rafters where you were cutting out the doomer.

Amazing! I’m so glad you did that!

Lucas you have a good attitude!

Thank you guys!!!

Fabulous team work looking great.

Well done both of you!

Good job Lucas!

Awesome job! I'd be terrified to try this but I'm sure you'll be happy you did it down the road.
