Crazy that you guys built this in under 3 hours, thats gotta be some kinda world record!
haha! thanks... hope you enjoyed it!
AND with breaks!
And I watched it All.,.. great job guys.....
I am building a small 608 sq ft cabin and I have been at it for 8 months! You all could done mine in ten minutes.
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers it this a Under grond hous what you build right now sr.?
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzhead.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
Poison Ivy….Colloidal Silver Cream! Also the small clef will disappear as it matures.
I know it's a pain but I really wish they'd do a lot more of these 2hr+ vids - without doubt they're THE best thing to watch on KZhead right now !. I LOVE EM !
Check back tomorrow!! New one coming out!!
Brings back memories of my days in construction working for my brothers-in-law. Nothing more fun than building houses!
I can't believe I sat and watched this whole video, but you guys made it fun, interesting, and educational. So much talent and craftsmanship in one place. Love the attention to detail and that you guys think the project out so far ahead. Thanks.
I watched the whole thing because I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see such amazing construction. I still work Artisan when working wood, and so did these folks.... 10 to the nth degree tight.

ROTFLMAO........I too sat and watched all 2:41:58 for the exact same reason LOL
Love this video. I'm a former builder from Georgia. At 1:09 you asked why the pencils are flat. 1) They won't roll off the surface you lay them on. 2) But they can be used for fine measuring or spacing. They are 1/4" thick and 1/2" wide. 3) The lead is thick to resist breaking, and you can scrub the lead down to a sharp but wide shape for precision marking.
And if you do drop it throw it away you shattered all the lead inside 🤣
@Carlos Rodriguez Von-Samosa de Aquas it depends on what part of the world your in, and who made the pencil you smart arse !!
That joke flew right over your head
@Carlos Rodriguez Von-Samosa de Aquas And if you call it a air duck it doesn’t mean it’s a real duck!!
great add
This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to build a second unit on their property. kzhead.infoUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It showcases various types of houses, such as garage apartments, with photos, videos, and floor plans. The book provides the square footage and the dimensions of each house, as well as the option to order the plans or customize them according to your preferences. You can choose from a range of styles, from ultra modern to cottages and A frame lake houses. The book also offers suggestions for sheds, pool houses, and office studio buildings. This book is an ideal resource for the aspiring home designer.
As much as I enjoy watching these videos, I can't help but think of how cool it would be as the homeowner to have a video like this showing the whole process of your house being built.
It's a win-win-win situation. The company gets to make extra money, customer gets to see their home building process and us viewers get entertainment.
It'd be a pretty shit thing for homeowners to have their home shown in full, including the surrounding location and get free access to insights on security weaknesses on these homes. sorry, but I'd rather not have my home be on full display foir millions to see
I can see customers getting shit pissed because the builders are having fun doing it. By experience, the less the owner sees of the building process the lesser the trauma.
The first time you were able
The first time you
I’m closing in on my retirement and I’d like to move from Minnesota to a warmer climate, but the prices on homes are stupidly ridiculous and Mortgage prices has been skyrocketing on a roll(currently over 7%) do I just invest my spare cash into stock and wait for a housing crash or should I go ahead to buy a home anyways
Most people are unable to handle a fall since they are accustomed to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to get around, you can profit handsomely. It depends on your entry and exit strategy.
@@henryCliffordJames Due to the significant falls, I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this teacher?
@@henryCliffordJames She has excellent credentials and an outstanding occupation. Hence, I swiftly copied whole name and typed it into my browser. I'm curious to discover why she is so busy, and despite the fact that she has unquestionably good credentials, I nevertheless schedule a meeting with her.
Between oil spills and bans were in a tight spot bud.
Just live on a cruise ship for ever. look it up.
Having built roughly 400 homes, 58 yrs old now, in my working life, I got a real kick outta watching your crew work. Professionals with a lot of respect for each other. That's what gets the job done. Built in Alabama, Massachusetts, and Colorado.....
Its real tricky to build a house on a sandy slope. If you are unlucky the house might start to drift. They can not take any trees down, it would undermine everything.
Love seeing the integrity in your build. The world needs more builders like this super talented crew.
I came for some woodworking tips but instead I received a ton of knowledge on every aspect of building a house. I didn't expect me to watch the whole thing and enjoy it so much. You guys really do it all and surely know your work. The best thing is that you're actually having a lot of fun at work and seem like a really well connected team of friends doing what you love. Thank you for this experience. It felt like being there with you.
Perkins Brothers. I started watching you in the beginning of the KZhead days. I’ve learned so much from you building and remodeling my house. I miss the lunch videos. Hot sauce! Bring them back as you wrap up the Modern Build.
_The best thing about this build is how you guys enjoy what you're doing._
EXACTLY IHAB!
Ioohhhhhhhh
Hhhhhhhh
Hhhhh
Hhhhhh 1:49:42 h
I amazed how you guy's get on so well. I'm a retried builder what I miss the most is the banter and the jokes. it's great fun when you woke with a great crew. it's a brilliant job you all have done. Good luck for the future. God bless you all. Paddy from Belfast Ireland. 🇮🇪
I meant to say work not woke lol
@@patrickrooney5130 luckily we don’t have any grammar Nazis in this comment!.I did think the Woke was pretty funny..😀
@@patrickrooney5130 One more question..Do the Irish people say Top of the morning to ya
Sending prayers for our Lord Jesus to bless you n yours.
@@michaelkeenan3437 no buddy we don't. Lol.
These guys are fricken legends. Attention to detail and workmanship is second to none. No corner's cut!!! Gives me great hope for America in general.
A whole house on a mountain in 2 hours and 40 minutes? 🤯 These guys are some serious hardworking men.
As a former contractor/builder I have to say I really enjoy the coraderie of the crew. I am now retired but I miss the days of cutting up and working on a project with a bunch of fellas you know and work well together with.
Camaraderie* ;)
As one who is not a former contractor...I do, too. I think we all do...having respectful and playful interactions with people you have to spend so much time with, makes life so much better.
It's hard enough building. We got to have fun doing it or we will get somebody else.
The, “Camaraderie”, of the crew. Camaraderie, it is.
I doubt if this house construction could withstand a magnitude 4.0 earthquake.
Totally came across your video on accident and got sucked in quick. I’ve never seen/watched a home made from step 1 so this was so educational and entertaining. This was officially the longest video I’ve watched on KZhead. What a beautiful home. You and our team should be proud! Thank you for sharing. 😎
I second all that..,very educational. So much lingo learned...I learned that cutting and bending tin flashing is an art.
fr
Thanks Amanda for all ready commenting what I was going to say. 👍🤜🤛
❤
Same here I totally came across the video and it sucked me in lol 😂😂
This is what made me fall in love with home construction, the goofy fun times you have with guys you build a brotherly relationship with doing the job you love. It’s hard ass work but man when a job is wrapped up it is possibly the most satisfying thing when you look at the finished product and can say man I did this… we did this! Absolutely amazing job y’all! Bravo 👏🤙
I really love the way you guys build wherever it is and the tools you have are second to none, a first class job and finish ,who wouldn’t love to have a home like that .peace and love from Scotland 🏴 to you guys 👍❤️🥃
I have to say this is the best of the best when it comes to construction videos. I watched the whole wideo start to finish in one take. I love the way it was filmed and edited and the voice over, th little jokes and laughs were the best, the technical details were detailed enough that i understood the basics and maybe even more, but not too much that i got bored. Overall an extremely pleasant experience watching this.
In Germany we would take a company for the holes, another for the foundation, one for the brick walls, one for the wooden constructions, one for the roof, one for the insidewalls, one for the painting ... and so on and on. YOU took only six awesome guys and made it!! GREAT SKILLS!
That is the difference between a Contractor vs. A Builder.
Uhm, if you do, then you don't do it right. A friend of mine has a construction company in Berlin, and it basically consists of 8 friends working together, building houses. They build houses all over Germany and Poland. In addition to that: there is a difference in building a brick house versus wood. There is a huge difference in building laws, laws in Germany being much more complicated, and they require licensed specialists for all work you do, from construction to plumbing to electricity. This prevents people from doing all kinds of different jobs, they have to specialize in one particular field, have the specific diplomas and the liability insurance that goes with it. And then, on a side note, I dunno about this house which looks of a decent quality, but in general, the quality of houses in Germany is WAAAAAYY above that of American houses. These paperboard houses get blown away with the first hurricane, they would never pass the Bauabnahme (final approval by authorities) in Germany. When you close one window, the entire house shakes. Whilst in Germany, it is expected that houses, once build, will be useable for the next 400 years. At least.
@@anadubar4819: I also from germany and built 1 large hosue in france nearly alone and also 1 in germany. but in germany I had problems with the government and also because I always asked them how to do and reading the laws and tell them that only because of they always do so as they wanted me to do it is not sure that there is also an other possibility. but also in germany each state has his own building regulations and even from city to city often the people working there in those government offices not know how they hanlde this all in other cities. and that is why it is so expensive to built a house in germany. all is double and tripple regulated and everybody only wants your best - your money
Same here in Australia. A whole slew of "not my job" tradies who have minimal care of the build as an entirety because theres no ownership past what their task in the process is. Everyone is fast to point fingers when something goes wrong with no one willing to step in and make repairs because that's tacitly taking the blame. Builds are never on schedule because if one trade is late or slow to complete, then it puts everything else off schedule, and the following trades have already moved on to another job. We are in the middle of building a shed on the farm for robotic milking and involved there's the shed builder, concreter, glazier, electrician, plumber, IT tech, and installers of machinery. Already, the shed builders have us a minimum of 2 months behind schedule because they took two weeks off without saying anything to do a 'quick job' elsewhere. The concreter, who should have had his part done 3 weeks ago is unavailable for another 4 weeks due to him not being able to wait and having work booked elsewhere and the glazier said he'd have to do his installs now or not be able to do the job so all windows and doors have been done before the floors even in... All other trades have also been shunted weeks further away from contracted dates because of what the builder did and no one is sure of trades availability now and no one is happy, least of all those of us who should have had a completed shed ready to use 2 weeks ago.
@@anadubar4819: lucky - the financial governmnet says 50 years to reduce tax, and if a commercial building 33,3 years
I love these older videos. They're so easy to watch and relaxing. The true essence of the crew is captured . Delightful!
You need to make more of these. It was long but enjoyable. I have been a carpenter and locksmith for almost 40 years. I have worked with guys like this before and it's wonderful to watch the great repour they have and the quality of the work. It is a must watch
Man, I wish all builders would put in as much effort and dedication into what they are building as these guys do. These guys are fantastic.
Watched this whole video sitting in my truck at job site and told my guys im researching and ordering materials, as a remodeling contractor in NC I love Bryson city area and envy the fun builds in the mountains. Good job guys, now I can get to work

Nice video! I spent my entire life building homes just like this. With my three brothers yes four of us and at least four other guys but we did very thing from start to finish. There was a lot of pride in this for all of us!
If you got one..
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
You guys are great! I can't stop watching. I've been in construction for 28 yrs wish I had a crew like yours! Thanks guys keep doing this!
Love the environment you guys create, great working vibes. Wish you the best.
A genuine camaraderie between the builders is so cool!
Thanks!
Every time I watch you, I wish you guys would come to Uganda and build my home. The attention to detail and problem solving is so appreciated.
In today's world, a guy with a busted foot showing up for work is incredible. It's a miracle if you can get anyone to show up for two months in a row, much less a walking wounded. Kudos to him and the rest of the crew. Really impressed by your crew and their commitment to the company/projects.
Nah just don't be a dick I quit on a bloke out during a pour for a driveway all cause he started having go's at everyone in the crew for no fucking reason (never had before till we all went out to this job in his truck and not personal cars) turns out fella was underpaying 3.50$ and hr unsure if he knew or not but I got a decent final check
I have met some crews work like family. Show up everyday. It all depends on contractor. Pay them good, unemployment during winter, benefits and consistent busy work. Actually a lot of contractors doing this type of build have amazing crews. As a customer if I am building a house, and say I don't cheap out accept a good bid I will find a contractor with employees like this. Usually what happens is homeowner will hire for least price, get cheapest contractor, who will pay lowest to employees, who will not show up. Now if you spend decent amount of money, the contractor has money to pay decent etc. You get what you pay. If I don't pay good for a job I will end up with subpar contractor. You will be surprised if you found out what he pays those people to show up. It shows up in their attitude. They are paid very well.
I’m 52 years of age. Full time mom and work from home. Don’t know anything about construction. But, watching this gentleman work and build this beautiful home was the most relaxing I’ve been in a long time. I was at an awww..Thank you for sharing. Very educational and relaxing..👏🏼👏🏼🤗🤗
It is so impressive that your team is talented and capable of doing it all not to mention the window cleaning in the end! Bravo! such a joy and entertaining to watch!
This is far and away the best builders I’ve ever seen, they are almost perfect, 99.9% on measurements and very little readings. It looks like they think everything through God bless y’all.
Being in construction for over 30 years myself. It's great to see a talented crew that takes pride in their craftsmanship!! The young generation still in school needs to watch your guys channel. Just to let them know how you can build something amazing with your skills and at the end its very rewarding. I'd buy your crew lunch if you're ever out in Colorado. Peace brothers 🙏
The young generation is here watching it
Im watching it and current in school for architect
I have always worked by myself building garages, decks, and other home type projects and property maintanence. One fall about 10 years ago I had to go look for employment. My sister hooked me up with a framing company. I knew how to build but again I always worked by myself. I joined a 3 man crew that had been working together building houses for years. I found out quickly that I didnt know the "proper" names and terminolgy for alot of stuff. being the new guy and odd man out felt very humbling and had me second guessing my every move. As soon as my other work for myself picked up I gave my notice to them. I was always in the way and slowing their process down. At least I felt I was. Those 3 guys would build 3-4 bed 2 story homes with attached 3 car garages, completely weather tight with windows, doors, roofing, tyvek and porches in 2 weeks give or take a day. Crazy.. So crews of guys who day in and day out build houses are able to do incredible shit, fast.
.. side note.. Never, NEVER attempt to do Bitchathane or Ice and water sheild on a hot day, or windy day. Double F U if you try to use it on a hot and windy day. If it touches itself even just alittle, cut it off. Dont waste your time trying to get it straightened out. It juat gets worse.
You guys really moved me on different levels. First, you really exhibited American pride and talent throughout your project. To me, and many, that’s the gleam of the project. Second, the cohesive factor in all of your interactions made it educational and comforting. I’m very happy that I discovered you, and wish you all the success that you deserve! Thanks for sharing!
I’d quit my job right know just to be able to be a part of this. The accomplishment and reward would be worth it all.
Agreed it looks amazing 😍
Hello from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My name is Gus Fisch, I'm a singer-songwriter and singer coach and I really enjoy your videos to the point of choosing them over a series or a movie, it's even become a vice. Whenever I have to take a break from my musical chores I take great pleasure in seeing the Perkins brothers and their band of good lads. I am not a builder or a carpenter but I run to see every time they upload a new video, Thanks and regards. Gus
Having framed custom homes for 30+ yrs. I've been on jobs where I've done what you've done here and being ( Ol school) I don't impress easily but you guys get a hats off from me! It's great when you have a crew that has a good sense of humor...takes the edge off of a sometimes stressful job and as you know...makes for a better job done in the end. Great job and video guys!
I used to build log Cabins in Kentucky in the 90s. This brought back great memories of the crew we had. Fun times.
We did a similar, 20 by 40 started completely off grid. 3 years later put in a septic system. 3 years later hooked up power. We were so used to living that way our power bills are only 21 bucks a month and 50 a month running the air conditioning during summer. We expanded our catchement to a full size 1000 gallon in ground cistern. Love everything we've done and wondered why we didn't get power sooner. Can't wait to build a garage for all the tools next. Good job guys on your build.
I'm an old retired contractor out of Atl, now living in Middle Tn. Just found y'all and I have smiled and grinned all the way through this video. You guys are so candid, and real its funny, the amount of custom work, "care" and professionalism just warms my heart. Nice to know there is a younger generation that really takes pride in what they do. Remember gents...You're artists. Thank you so much for your hard work and pride.
I've been an auto mechanic for 20+ years until I threw out my back but at times throughout the years when I was out of work, I would work with my dad building houses or doing additions, remodels etc. , and I loved the work that I did. Hard work for sure but I loved it. That being said, I really enjoyed watching you guys build this awesome house in its beautiful location. Nice work guys!
😊😅😢 I 😂❤myQp
It's amazing how you guys can do everything by your own! Also your sense of humor makes this hard work a lot easier.. it's never a waste of time to watch this master piece to the end ❤❤
Im a former broken down old school stick framing GC of 20 years from Wa State Olympic Peninsula. Built some customs ground up right down to concrete, insulation, drywall and paint etc. You guys are awesome framers/builders. Everything is perfect, cuts, fit etc Nice job guys. Two things I miss, building with my old crew and my youth and those joking moments around the jobsite. I’ll be 60 in 8 days and 5 years I’ll be retiring from being a Boeing Aircraft Mechanic here in Ohio. Just wanted to let you guys know, you bring back great memories of my jobsite days and my youth and all you guys craftsmanship, awesome work. I came across your videos and totally enjoy watching your work. You guys are pretty funny 😆You guys brought up why the carpenter pencils are flat, personally outside of them fitting pretty good in your ear or nailbag chisel slots, I think they are best for doing those 1/4 scribes . The other is mixing your coffee 😁
The way you guys get into the details is awesome. Like planing the lumber to make sure the decking is completely flat and other stuff most builders wouldn't care about. Impeccable work guys.
Came across this video today and was drawn in as well as the many other viewers. I throughly enjoyed the entire 2 1/2 hours watching every step of the way...very cool to watch the process...I am curious just how long that job was though...thank you SO much for all the work you all did on shooting the build. REALLY REALLY enjoyed it....When I was 14 yrs old my Dad built a four bdr. 2 bath, 2 story addition to our existing tiny house which was basically a weekend cabin. My brother and I were his only crew. From foundation to shingles and ALL the interior as well as plumbing and electrical, paneling, paint and wallpaper...It was an amazing experience I will never forget and I miss that environment SO much... I have not been able to enjoy that kind of work much in my adult life and that stinks...I am now 62 and believing God for my chance to at least oversee some projects in the near future as we build a safe place for those who need it...blessings to you guys!
I've done the same many times. The last one was on a cliff/steep hillside overlooking a lake. It was tough getting the footings dug out and poured. Had to do them all by hand because we couldn't get a machine down there the incline was too steep. Cut down about 50+ trees and pulled stumps first. It took 7 months to get it framed and roofed with 4 guys and 1 Case machine. I love the work though. It's so satisfying.
Like the use of siding spacer hangers. Ten years ago I was siding a Habitat house with Hardy siding and made my own spacer hangers out of a piece of plywood to make the reveal 7 1/4 inch. The spacers saved a lot of time and made the siding uniform and easier for volunteers to use. I am glad to see someone made them for you to use.
You guys are the best. However you made a major mistake in the placement of the perforated drainage pipe on top of the footing. This pipe should always be placed alongside the footing and lower than the joint where the first course of block meets the footing. The pipe has to be lower than this joint in order for water to drain away from the wall. Years ago, Fine Home Building Magazine made the same error in an article about how to waterproof a basement. They issued a correction after I pointed out their error. Don’t feel bad, most builders make the same mistake.
These guys are so good, they do the framing better than most finish carpenters do interior finish carpentery. I'm tempted to buy property in NC and hire this crew to build my dream house
That house is in the perfect place. You all do great work. Nice seeing you take so much pride in what you do.
I really like watching guys build houses the right way.Seeing all of you taking it seriously an if you find something wrong you guys fix it instead of the typical, let's just keep going and get it done with. I owned a hardwood floor company on Cape Cod Massachusetts for almost 30 years and did every single floor the right way the first time.Thanks for sharing your experiences. Keepm coming guys. Kevin
The cool part about these videos Looking back and remembering all the work that went into the house, I feel like I was there 😀 Thanks for these videos and making me feel like part of the crew.
This is an amazing video! I can’t believe I sat and watched the whole thing, but this was so well done, so well edited, it had me locked in the whole time. I’ll say this, if I ever build another home, I WANT your company doing it. I’ve never seen one crew do everything!! From digging dirt, foundation, concrete pouring, block, rebar, framing, roofing, decking, siding, drywall, primer, painting, fireplace, tile, flooring, cabinets…. and I’m missing tons more, every member of your crew did it. This HAS to make the whole house just that much better. Here, it’s a separate company with different crew at each step of the way. Having your crew doing it all means you’re taking ownership all the way through. Seeing everyone involved in staining the doors and baseboards was next level amazing as well. Seriously, whoever the homeowner is here…. you are SO fortunate to have had this company and crew. I’ve had homes built and others renovated that don’t come anywhere close to this quality, this level of care! Whatever you paid them…. it wasn’t enough! 😂 I’m in Canada, but hell I’d move to the Smokey mountains just to be able to hire you guys to build me a home. Incredible work on the house, knocked it right out of the park! And the video of it was equally high quality. Great work man….GREAT work! 🤠👍🏼☮️ 2:32:13 I must have missed part of the video somewhere… or maybe it’s a separate video? Can you point me where I’d find the video of you guys making the appliances?? That stove just appeared here, I want to see how you built it, especially the finish you put on it! 🤣
New to channel. The view and location are spectacular. To the cement vendor. I saw your Wounded Warrior emblem on the truck. We are a first responder family. My husband is 100% service connected Vietnam Vet. Thank both the VA and American public rewnewed support of veterans. Due to advances in field medvac supplies and training and floating hospitals more veterans are surving multiple amputations and worse. Family caregivers of age struggle to provide care. Please keep these families in your prayers. Thank you.
Super Talented and Professional Crew.. Very honest in their approach and owner can see each and every minute details of the house.
Top tip When using a hole cutter on ply or mdf board, start the hole to mark the circle and then drill a small 1/4 hole just inside the circle. All the sawdust will go down the 1/4 hole. This stops burning and if a cup is put underneath, all the dust will fall into the cup. Ideal in counter tops etc.
It’s incredible that 1 crew of 6 guys can build an entire house
jygkgykg
it was much more than 6, but its pretty cool seeing how much those 6 can do... props to bearded dude, its the low falls that hit the hardest, i broke my wrist 3ft off the ground from some sketchy scaffolding.
Not really that's what it used to be before everyone became all soft and carried around the attitude of I can't do that I need help mentality
@@marc2638 its not about that, most of it is the red tape now; HVAC, electric, plumbing, framing, etc... all has regulations that vary from county to state. even if you can do it, doesnt mean "you can"
Yeah brah. But they also hired a ton of other people during the process. Still very impressive.
Thank you so much for editing this long video. Much better than anything on TV at the moment. The commentary and all the effort that goes into putting these videos together for our enjoyment is phenomenal. Thank you so much again best wishes from the UK.
I literally thought my pump was going off watching this video. So cool to learn that Ray is diabetic. I considered construction a couple of times but ultimately went elsewhere because I was worried I would be a burden on the team, but its really cool to see that you guys run with it so easy! Maybe I should consider a career change after all.
Wow these guys are amazing in everything they do. They take such pride in their work and it turns out great.
It is a great pleasure to watch a crew like yours who seem like best friends work together and it has to be even more gratifying to work with people that after lots of projects you can almost read each others minds which make it so much easier to build a project and still keep the comraderies that have been established over years of together. All in all a great video and I see no short cuts in materials and construction practices. Great job done by all.
This is straight to the point
With one hand and this guy is doing what he loves to do!!! This tells you if there’s a will there’s a way. Good for you bud!!! Keep it up
I'm SURE you guys must know this but as a carpenter/cabinet guy I was a little worried when you guys were drilling holes in the cabinet doors for the doorhandles. Hold a piece of (leftover) wood on the inside of the door where you're drilling the hole to fix the handle on. It will decrees any sort of splintering/pieces breaking off where you're drilling by like 90%. Besides that, I love your videos, it makes me miss working in a team. Keep it up!
Clicked on this just to check it out at first. I ended up watching the entire thing all the way through. You guys did an amazing job on this house! This was possibly the most entertaining home build I have seen on KZhead. I grew up in North Carolina but now call Alaska home. If at any time I make the move back to that area I know who I want to build my next home. Great job to all of you!
I actually love watching your video's. I grew up doing construction with my Dad. He died March of 2020. I watch you guys and it brings back memories of stuff we did. Of course we didn't have all them fancy tools. This was back the late 60s and most of the 70s till I went in the service. Thank you for the memories
Truth. I watched your vid while cleaning up the “play” room of my 3 grandsons. I flew to another state to help our daughter out while she is sick. And your words rang in my heart. Once a momma all ways a momma. Why? Because we do it out of love for our family! They mean more to us than life itself. My sweet husband is away from me for 3.5 wks and I miss him everyday, but he knows my heart was here with our daughter! So while I am here, I clean, do laundry, help with homework each night and make beds. I love serving our children. Oh yeah, our oldest daughters family is taking granddaughter #3 to Paris for her graduation present, so in 2 wks after I get back home, I leave again for a wk of watching their 3 dogs! ITS WHAT WE DO!
You guys take pride in your work and the atmosphere that is kept keeps the crew wanting to do the best work they can every time. Everyone seems to rotate responsibility of the more demanding job site duties keeps everyone from burning out a lot less. Y’all processes have been tested and made as efficient that makes harder task alot easier on the person. Knowing each other strengths helps ya conquer new techniques and jobs yall hadn’t encountered and the confidence to attempt and take on task that not all can complete in professional and timely matter. Having the ability to overcome the unforeseeable thru the experience of you guys as team is in my book is priceless….but having the ability to hangout with your boys and build shit while bull chitting man that’s the life. People now can see what the difference is between the lowest bidder and the more expensive builder and what you get for your money.
I didn't check how long the video was at first but man it was wonderful... I wish you were in my country... God given talent. Good workmanship and friendship among you guys. your eye for details!! wow!!!
I was mesmerized watching you all build this house. You guys seem to get along so well. It was so much I had to watch from start to finish ! Can't wait to see your next build.
So enjoyable seeing talented good people coming together and building something beautiful, and having fun along the way.
I like you showing the stuff ups and fixes it makes it real, top job, great team, amazing build, awesome tradesmen. I learned so much thanks a lot.
Really enjoying these videos. Great to see the genuine care and attention being applied to the homes Matt.
It is essential to have a guy like Jason in your team! The days drag like hell if there’s no one to crack jokes and fool around
You guys are top quality. The extra attention is always worth it. You can see that alot of pride goes into work.
I love the look of the house. And nice handy work and craftsmanship. Definitely professional.
My favorite from the crew isJason is always w a smile in her face and is a hard worker too
Started watching by accident and couldn't stop until I watched to the finish. Great build and really appreciate ALL of the detailed video work. My only frustration is that we can't find contractors like you guys here in Florida. Makes me want to move to the mountains just so you guys can build as house for us. :-)
As you folks were doing many of the finishing aspects of this build, I was getting chills. The overall craftsmanship and the how this all came together, was stunning!!
.. looks very similar to my pops design and build of our summer house 1989-1991ish.. Only difference being that the house was L-shaped (base of the L -View towards the bay/sea) without the full internal stairs. Only an internal single story L staircase from main living floor to the top-floor which was only a 60ish%(master bedroom) leaving the whole upper 2 floors of the L base open air excepting a few wood-clad I-beams.. oh yeah should probably mention that all of the framing was steel.. sorta is what happens when the family business is a metal construction/smithing company. 😉 Oh yeah nearly forgot about how the building-site was Half granite too so yeah out came the core drilling machine and boom-boom. Building on hights with inclines like that is just cool. Makes for gorgeous views and the light.. just awesome.
I’ve worked on small sites like this all my life in uk and the humour seems universal. Great laughs and hard work. You can’t beat it.
I love when u put these long vids together Erik ... just noticed it was published almost a day later
Wow... I watched the original series, but it's really nice to see the entire build from start to finish! A beautiful result guys.
You guys reminded me of my partner and I back in the 80s and 90s. We did the best work and laughed all the way. It's a good thing we didn't have gopro and youtube. We'd never have finished anything. Thanks. We were really good too. Jim... and Pete.
Flat Pencils are used by trim carpenters to leave the perfect gap for baseboards to be installed so that the flooring material gets perfectly tucked under.
and they are flat to indeed prevent them from rolling, either on a slanted surface, rolling away from you, or underfoot as demonstrated in the video!
That might be a useful coincident, but no shot was that the design idea.
That rebar railing was gorgeous. And just so ya know, the brackets made it! Top notch.
I retiled our bathroom recently using a similar levelling system, and kicking the little pegs off or smashing them with a rubber mallet was *the most* satisfying part of the whole job :D
My condolences go out to you Bro !!!! Job well done.
I watched the whole thing in one sitting. In a very nostalgic way, it made me miss framing/building. And as much fun as y'all seem to have, I know that there were times where you weren't having so much fun.... those days I don't miss. And employees, I don't miss employees!! Beautiful house and great site, cheers.
Only 3 hours Perkins? Lol I’ll watch it but I know that’s not all you could get in there. You guys are awesome keep up the great work!
Wow everything about perfection from you guys. Love it. And the awesome team vibe is amazing. This was like watching a Hollywood movie. Well done and thanks for some tips along the way
Keep up the excellent work, and I can't wait to see more stunning homes being built!
What a happy crew of professionals. Great craftsmanship, and truly multi-talented group of people that mesh with each other perfectly. Thanks.
It's amazing you guys have all the skills to complete every step of the building process. This was amazing to watch.
This is awesome. I think these guys make the videos fun, it's like watching an old tv show. I know a ton of work goes into making the videos too. Great job gentlemen.
I think it's y'all's camaraderie that makes ME LOVE WATCHING Y'ALL BUILD. I LOVE IT BROTHERS!
Really nice build, I'm sure you are all very proud of it. I'm a 45 year architectural professional specializing in single family homes, mostly MUCH larger than what you've built in this video (think "McMansions") and I really appreciate your attention to detail, especially finishes, and the wonderful, creative, and unique custom touches. I work the greater Pacific Northwest area and some of our building techniques vary a bit from yours (example: all our foundations are poured-in-place concrete, almost no use of CMU at all), but then, the conditions we build to and for are also quite different. Beautiful home, incredible site, magnificent views...truly an awesome build!
I love the windows in the front and the stairs. What a great project you guys just did!
