I've gone MASSIVELY OVER-BUDGET building the ultimate car guy's paradise and it's still not finished

Turns out I'm just as bad at picking and fixing houses as I am picking and fixing cars...

I really hope you all make to see the last 2 minutes of this video. I really wanted to better explain my recent behavior. Why I have been more stressed, frantic and stupid lately, rather than just happy, goofy and stupid person that I normally am. This house stuff has really been a mess, but there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Some of these contractors must’ve seen your car wizard bill videos.

Finally, you are calling out the companies by name. If they are willing to do this to a client with a large following, imagine what they are doing to the normal people? Glad it is all almost sorted out, but these companies that just fucked you over deserve to called out by name.

You're not over budget, you have no construction background, I guarentee absolutely every contractor is ripping you off as much as they can get away with. People are shady.

[MattyMatt]

As a certified horticulturist and landscape designer i can confirm that you have not gone over budget by any means because you’re basically been doing this yourself. Looks amazing!! Definitely a huge improvement from what you originally started with! Also it’s great to see some progress in your garage and I love your content my man. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for years. Looks great Tyler! Also Happy Birthday Tyler!!

The good thing is home values are coming down along with car prices. So losing on the house is in line with your brand.

I run a luxury construction company. 70k for that type of roof is obscene.

[ryanhoffmann]

I work in construction, it frustrates me to no end to hear stuff like this. You were absolutely taken for a ride with that roof. A LEGITIMATE roofer could redo your entire roof three times over for the amount they are telling you it would cost to replace. Hopefully this video can get you some relief.

[teddysdadcory]

I know it’s hard right now, but think how much you are honoring generations of people who have lived their lives on this property by putting so much care and love into the estate.

[ptarankov]

Tyler, I appreciate you being transparent with the numbers and totals, don’t feel stupid, you are just warning others from making the same mistakes

[RandomGuyDan]

Happy birthday. I am a professional construction loan manager for a private lender with 20+ years of watching commercial and residential properties get built and rehabbed. Your GC sucks and you should be naming them along with the electrician and roofer. His entire job is coordinate the subcontractors and make sure they finish their work on a timely basis. His fee is generally a percentage of the cost of the job. I highly recommend that you talk about him reducing whatever he is supposed to get paid.

From one 38 year old to another 38 year old, happy birthday Tyler! '86 🌟

[russellstewart]

The honesty in showing the cost is huge. Much respect. I liked you before but I like you even more today. Appreciate you man!

[tontonsreview]

I love and appreciate you calling the company names out!

[Kalepsis]

You're not alone. Contractors are screwing everyone everywhere right now. Leaving for two or three weeks after starting a job is them fishing for more money. I just bought a lot and I'm about to build a house on it, and every builder around me is a crook. I wish I could do it myself and save 60% of what they want to charge me, but my bank won't let me do that.

[grimson]

Tavarish said it well: nothing builds an audience like relatability, and nothing undermines relatability like wealth.

[scottiswatchingtele]

my jaw is on the floor with those numbers. then i remembered the last time the electrician came out, i had one less arm and leg. You're building. a dream. looks fantastic.

[googleuser]

Hoovie needs to find a House Wizard, someone honest like the Car Wizard. Seems like a lot of shady builders.

[maverickreichert]

Tyler,

Happy Birthday!

I have been watching your channel for YEARS now and I still look forward to your next video unlike many of the other automotive YouTubers I used to follow along with. Thank you for the entertainment you provide your audience and I!

[JaneDoeEyes]

Tyler! It's been so much fun to watch you over the past few years. And to see how you not only survived – but flourished with all you went through. You are a testament to perseverance! And a very happy (belated) birthday! God bless and keep you...
