About the cost of this. The plan is to make a video when the garage is finished about the pricing of all the stuff needed for the build.
But I can give some of the cost in this build so far, for the bills I received.

*All the gravel hauled in, in total. 304ton 4600€ (5000$)
(ink Transport for the 3 loads 1250€ (1360$))

*Insulation s200 4437€($) (4825$)

*rebar mesh 2500€ (2720$)

*Concrete wall elements 4300€ (4675$)

*Floor heating 1890€ (2055$)

Pricing are with tax.

[MahkReeProductions]

HOLY SHIT 5 HOURS!

Thank you Mattias! Today is a good day lol

[kryshik]

Lmao, bro stepping away from his garage project to casually complete the "escort the King" side quest and then comes back like nothing happened

[g-man]

One hundred times better than anything Hollywood can even imagine putting out. Great effort young man, thoroughly enjoyed watching your boundless energy.👍🏻

[jossderaadt]

Epic. Didn’t know YouTube allowed 5hr videos. Love when you post a video. Always exceptional.

[Humber]

There's a sentence I bet has never been said before. "The King is safely on the ground, next step is to pick up some roof sheeting I just got".

[samia]

5 hrs. Challenge accepted. Love from Finland, keep up this positive diy mentality ❤

[nordicresilience]

130K subscribers is less than 1/10th of what this channel deserves, such great content, great production. Top notch!!

59:10 I DIDNT KNOW THAT EXISTS HOLY BLEW MY MIND

[PeterGriswald]

That dump set up @ 59 minutes was impressive. never knew a tandem trailer sliding mechanism existed until now. BAD ASS! And talk about a much needed bonus... 5 hours of awesomeness! Keep going my dude, you ARE on top of your game. mattman, Murphy NC.

Who needs camera crew, editors, producers, etc. when we have Björnström? What an episode! ❤5 hours of pure pleasure and perfection.❤ Tack så mycket Mattias.

[Dysiode]

I finished all 5 hours (it legit felt like an hour it was so nice to watch) and I have to say it gives me a newfound appreciation for just how and *why* construction takes so long. I don't think it would have come across the same if it were broken into a series of 30-60 minute videos. Thanks for taking the time to document and edit it!

[mtozzy]

Took 2 nights to get through it all, but a proper job was done. You've excelled. Australia 🇦🇺

[ashhowell]

That gravel truck is awesome. I've never seen one like that before.

[adamsalerno]

I know making these videos is not easy, is time consuming, and intrusive, but of all the channels I frequent, yours is the one I always wish had more content. Not only are the projects incredibly interesting, your approach and general manner are refreshing. That said, i plan on savoring these five hours and I truly appreciate the content you do provide.

[GlobalistJuice]

Just the other day while cruising YouTube looking for something interesting to watch, I wondered what my Scandinavian video-friend has been up to ...and today, here he is! 👍

[Naplesfrank]

5 hours of pure greatness. Not once did I become uninterested, I dare Hollywood to produce a one hour show that is as entertaining and interesting as this one. I am very curious as to how much just the crushed stone and sand cost. Unbelievable video, thanks for sharing with us. ❤

[jimmyj]

[killerxn]

What a video!! Not only did you do something impressive but on top of that met the king AND reached the File upload limit on YouTube! It didn't even cross my mind that there is one! Guess all you need is good content and a 4k Camera! For anyone interested it´s 256gb.
