Building a Duck House for Pet Ducks (at the off grid cabin) 

You’re like the best dad ever... building this fantasy playground your kids will enjoy for life 👍

“Not good at math and want to find the center of something? Guess.” I am so laughing out loud. Love watching!

What a great video Kevin, thank you so much. Your daughter was so sweet taking the role of mummy duck. Looking forward to the next instalment and seeing the ducks grow and develop. Well done buddy.

This guy is the NEW AGE Red Green Show! Give me a Heck Yeah!

The amount of effort put into something you don't know will work or not is admirable.

Kevin, you have missed your true vocation as a comedian. You have a knack of doing something that others would make boring, but when you do it, at the same time you do it in such a light-hearted way that watching is well worth the time. Great stuff.

Love that tip with the middle-finding method. And if it helps with taking a guess, you can fold your tape in half and go with whatever measure is in the middle of the "crease" (bend).

I had some ducks when I was a kid. :) 2 great white pekins and a blue swedish. They were great pets. We had a house for them inside an old outside huge dog kennel so they would be safe at night. Every night they would come to the door to be let in, and every morning we would let them out so they could wander over to the pond. We even ate their eggs for breakfast. :) They're good. They're huge and taste like regular eggs.

No one makes me laugh more than Kevin while making his capsizeable duck boat. This guy is hilarious!

Thanks, I hope that it all works out! Who doesn't love ducks, I know that I LOVE them, another great video, Kevin!

Please make sure to film when you clean it the first time! Kevin climbing through the chicken wire hoop is going to be hysterical! What fun! Keep it up :)

On this episode of Kevin in Quarantine, he learns to speak duck

Oh dear Kevin i think you've quacked up, that was a usual fun to watch

Can already see the Wooded Beardman licking his chops wondering how he is going to cook them

Great job. Your channel will grow just keep at it.

Cool duck house👍🏻you could use a system like sailors do with dinghys where you have a fixed anchor / mooring coming up to a floating buoy with a shackle you put a rope through this and bring both ends back to shore then have a stake driven into the ground with another shackle. Put the rope through and tie both ends together. You can then attach the duck house to this pull out to the middle of the pond next to the floating buoy and tie off. When you need to bring back untie and pull back. Sure a big rock and some foam would create the anchor and buoy. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦆

"let's build a duck shelter" * makes a 3 ton wood box * "hey, it tips over" * adds 4 tons of material * "why aren't the ducks going inside~?"

OK that did it ..heart-melt... ''l can be the Mommy duck'' ... that is totally my Great-grandaughter who is the Mommy of anything little and cute.

That duck house turned out awesome! =)

Кевин, ваша доченька - чудесный красивый ребёнок!!! Здоровья и счастья вашей прекрасной семье!!!

Loved the vid. The trial & error was hilarious.Great Duck House design. If you have more chicken wire, you could add a large land run on the other end so they would have access to more bugs..

Put a rope on the duck house and tie it to a tree or something so you can pull it in when you need to... Just a suggestion😀 Glad to see another engineer like me. Great job.

Throws it in like a maniac: oh no its sinkin Attaches a giant stone: oh man how is it still sinking

Good work Kevin. I also had a small number of ducks when I was a schoolboy. They are really funny critters and grow really fast.

Oh I love this ducks are so cute!

I think you did a splendid job! Now that the duck wire is on how will you open the front to clean it and did the plastic negate the purpose of the rough hewn wood? One tip I could suggest is an anchor rope to shore. Otherwise, great job duck dad!🦆🦆

That is such a cute duck house. You did an awesome job. Sometimes it takes more then once to make something work the way you want it to. Can’t wait for the next item you build.

Dude I just started watching your videos. Not only are they educational, I enjoy the humor and your mood through the whole video. Very entertaining to watch.

Kevin the Duck whisperer 😂 great video 👏👏👏

You sorta KO'd that old adage, "Like a duck to water."

We are thankful you share your knowledge with us all.

You definitely think differently than most of us. Be unconcerned... that's actually a good thing Kevin.

How cute ..love it

Brilliant .. love the quacklings!

Thanks Kevin for the laughter. I just subscribed. Your hilarious

You’re little girl is not just charming, disarming, and lovely, but truly inquisitive and observant. I’m a read head. Red head girls rule.

That was so much fun to watch. I liked it when you threw it in the water and it tipped over. Great video and nice duck house.

What a cute video. I bet you're daughter loves them. Great job thanks

I learned that finding center trick while I was doing an electrical apprenticeship. It's really nice for those odd numbers and you don't wanna waste time thinking about it

Just when you think you see it all - this comes floating by my mailbox. Maybe it's a good thing that some of us never grow up - what a better world it would be.

At the end I bet there thinking "Geez this guy is quackers"

My man is just in his own little world when he’s out there working lol

this is some wholesome content bois.

Phone calls ruin my immersion!! Just kidding!. Do what you do. Always. Never listen to those that would dictate you. You are awesome!

Release the quackin'! 🦆🦆

Kevin ,I really enjoyed & had great laugh,thanks from Lockdown Victoria Australia 😂

Unique and functional duck house,,,

Duck'en awesome. Keep on Ducken.

Well your right it looks like minnow trap with a home lol. But also when needing to find the center of a measurement you can also just fold your tape in half and get what center is. So if it's 14" pull tape out to 14" lock it down and told your tape and it will tell you what the middle(center) measurement is. But thanks good job. Stay safe. God bless.

So cute. 😊😊😊

hi Kevin, great job!!! omg you had me laughing the whole time...."yeah this is going to be easy to carry" was the best, or was it the two tries to make it float?? idk, it all was totally AWESOME!!!and it works!! keep up the great content my friend!! be safe, thank you, bill in Ky

I'm picturing a duck pontoon house now! :-)

Funny when I worked commercial construction. We used to use that method of measuring for long spands in doing t- bar.

What you need to do with it is put your two big logs on it that way it floats around in the water and then you can talk up with rocks from each end

You have a great imagination. I just screwed some atv tires together for the ducks to sit on in the middle of the pond and a bobcat picked them off little by little. I was tired of cleaning up after them in the chicken coop. Always putting dirt in the water and making a mess. Very comical but messy. I once saved some baby mallards that were getting run over on a roadway. They returned to our pond for a few seasons. We mainly get wood ducks here now and one mallard couple. Had the large white ducks for a while too. Horniest duck. Chasing all the other ducks, chickens and the wood ducks that lived across the creek. Humping everything it could. Tried to hump a chicken that was dying. Poor thing. Something carried the horny white duck away and a couple days later it came home with a wound on it's neck. Something eventually took him across the creek and ate him. Found the feathers. We only have chickens now. Our chickens are tough. They hunt and kill mice and moles. While splitting wood there's often ants in the trees. I have the chickens trained to come when I whistle. They clean up the ants. Barred rocks are my favorites. Just saying....

Put the duck house on a pallet with styrofoam under the pallet. Put the house on a trolley system that way you can keep the pallet in the middle of the pond.

Bahahaha when you tossed it in and iy rolled over and started sinking lmao! Well good thing ducks can swim. Lol

Very owesome

That is a lot of work but AWESOME!

That was a great video. Loved it !!!!!!

Thank you, I love your ideas. This is going to help me building a duck house. I have Muscoy ducks.

You want to use rough sawn wood for traction for wet feet...................covers rough cut wood with slick plastic

I love your channel!!

the ducks works all will duck happy god bless

Hey, I just recently found your channel and it's awesome, however, ducks need a lot of space and solid ground to roam on. Additionally, they love frozen peas and that's what I use when I want them to go inside their house. If they're female ducks they will need at least a clean nest of hay to lay in. They're pretty picky. Also, chicken wire won't be able to keep out predators. You'll need hardwire for that.

Full Stop 🛑. Nice work. Yes floatation can be tricky

Lol that intro tho

This Duck video was well worth waiting for(:

definitely feel like that thing needs some outriggers considering it’s ability to drown the ducks in its current state

Good try... It did raise my humour reaction quite a bit thanks...

Awwww! I absolutely love ducks!! I wish I had a man just half as smart as you! lol!!! Keep on keeping on!! Are you looking to have duck eggs? That would be cool!!

We're thinking of getting a duck to get the slugs in our garden and came across your duck house build. You kept trying till you got it to work er float right.... We liked that.

omg you need more ducks:) I love it

In the future you may "think sailing boat" to get the balance right in the water. Big sailing boats even have led keels going deep down in the water and it keeps the whole thing from turning over and capsize.

0:16 hello Kevin!

So cute👋

sweet!

Innovative engineering.

Kevin, I'm loving your videos more and more every episode. Keep up the awesome work man!!!!

So kool

Cedar shakes are generally thicker and hand split where as shingles are sawn and more uniform.

Looks like a pond tractor for ducks. 🤨 LOL. Wasn’t too sure at first, but looks like it will keep them safe. 👍 -Robert

Kevin, Really dude, ya built the cabin, but..... small rope on the house. Wider styrofoam. But you did get center of gravity so there is hope yet. Not sure I’d go on your maiden voyage of the first boat you built... keep goin dude

Those little guys are pretty darn cute.

Get as much disturbance in that water as you can until it has greenery and fish in it. Ducks are a great idea.

Shoulda just screwed it to a floating skid... :) BTW: I love how you find center, I've been doing that forever. :)

8:53 “Look at all them cHiCkeNs!”

I love how it sinks

As they get bigger you will have to build alittle bigger for them.

Careful with that tapemeasure. Those things can be sharp :O

What once was a cabin in the woods is now a cabin in a park/open grounds....I hope after the 2nd pond dig(if u guys plan to dig again) that trees are replanted afterwards...its starting to look less natural....happy to see the channel's progression thought Kevin...keep it up

Duck house float would be with root beer and ice cream! 😜

Ducks. Ducks, Ducks... hmmm Ducks are great to EAT ... just saying... great video thanks for sharing.. Thanks for sharing all the best from Simcoe County Ontario Canada!!

Dude I had a friend in school who you remind me of. He was ginger and acted just like you!! His name was Chris and we called him Quince!

Lookin good kev. Superb to see ur sub count climbing. Way to show unique personality broski 🍻

Most Canadian thing out there 😆

Makes no sense but it's enjoyable think this one wins the award for your strangest video yet

Wondering if the ducks have found their way into the floating shelter yet? I like the way you kept at it until the thing achieved what you wanted. And the wire enclosure was cool as heck. Kinda like a chicken run, but with ducks and water.👍🏽👍🏽

charred wood for animals is awesome .... the char is a preservative .... and it is 100% natural and safe

Kevin ! lol you, re killin me man , soon as you threw that duck house into the water I knew your problem ! you need more surface to displace that water, cmon buddy lol , ducky house needs either pontoons or a larger plat form to sit on ! lol ur killin me man and those short lol !
