I cannot believe how amazing this series is, and we are still on the foundation. So thorough. Trade offs, pros and cons, additional considerations, and there was even time to talk about the batch plant. I can't imagine a more thorough presentation...

11:30 that handshake was more solid than concrete or blocks

Hah, the man is building a house, I'm sitting here eating a sandwich and he tells me to keep up the good work. LOL

The coolest part about all of this is how you all are getting so many people so excited to learn and grow as individuals, including myself. Thanks for all you guys are doing and I’m of the opinion that you have one of the most respectful and well rounded fan bases here on YouTube. You all rock!

A note to future subs on this house: be forewarned, 500, 000 subscribers will expect your work to not be just good but damned near perfect, and more will follow for decades.

Your videos are like sitting down with an older guy at my church, him telling me about whatever trade he was involved in, showing me and some other guys how to do whatever task it is...great videos. Who needs tv when this content is available

You are not forcing one method or another. You are explaining the differences and the reasons why . Why is the most important . A is better than B only in one set of circumstances. Brick, block, solid the best is Where you are, what you are doing and what it must do. Local advice is always a very good starting point. All round the world there will be chips of the EC block. The problem is finding them. Most don’t have a channel to give out the help....once found it is a asset to cherish and build upon. Keep on going fella these are worth there weight in brick, block, solid, or gold.Amacf

Loving how often you guys are putting out videos recently 👍👍

[brawldawg]

Good video, as always, and complete with some time hosing down the grandson. Gotta love it. I truly appreciate all of your family and their contributions to this channel, and thus, the human race. While 97% of your videos use construction as the outward focal point, it really is serving the dual purpose of being the vehicle for life lessons. Thank you, Sir. Thank you, from all of us.

[michelecardijian]

you should really look into doing an audio book or some such...watched the video and then was calmed to the edge of sleep...keep up the great work

[ChrisSmith]

I love the part where you were spraying your grandson. It brought back some good memories and is a reminder of what to strive for in the future.

[HospitalLocksmith]

This is what I appreciate about this channel. Not only do you make understanding the 'how' of construction, which I need while planning my own house. But you also share the 'why' of construction which is far less well know.


Thank You and keep the good work flowing.

Hello Sir with all respect to you but I would wish to have a grandfather like you with all that knowledge and experience!!!
Your kids and grandkids should be very proud of you 👏

[jeffbenson]

I remember how the stress level went through the roof the moment I could hear the cement truck aproaching a block or two away, wondering if everything was really ready and wondering what unforseen dilema was going to happen during the pour.

As an electrician apprentice In my 3rd year (of 5) I recently got to “chase the brickies” as we call it (placing boxes and building the pipe inside and up the wall), for the first time, And man, do I have a new appreciation for masons. What they do is really an art.

[edwardperez]

You make me want to be a better dad

May God bless you and your family

I'm shocked to see dislikes in any of your videos.
I appreciate all you're doing with this series.
Thanks for taking the time. 👍

[stankahuna]

have no idea how I cam across this and as an electrician its mostly all greek to me but it was some how soothing listening to some one giving me a straight bill of goods and just being good old fashioned honest... You keep up the good work..
