FULL HOUSE TOUR | Renovation of Abandoned House to Dream Home - DIY

I estimate it took about 4000 hours to build the house in total. As I had not built a house before this involved me learning how to do plumbing, electrics, welding, structural work, roof building, bathroom and kitchen installation, wood flooring, furniture making, tiling, heat recovery, and solar installation and so so much more. It was quite a journey, hard work at times but now I have a dream house in a place I love to spend time. Life is good!

I have documented this build into an eBook that share with you all the practicalities and things I have learned from doing this house renovation:

Hey mate no need to write back. I’m a carpenter from the Pacific Northwest and I ran across your YouTube video by accident. Excellent job and you should be commended on your work. I hope that home brings you lots of joy for the rest of your life. I bought your book to thank you for putting that video out and the work you’re doing. You take care and congrats on the house.

I watched a lot of what you went through to renovate your home. It's mind blowing to me what you are capable of doing. This was not your average renovation. Most people could never do what you did. You have a gorgeous home with an incredible view and it's well deserved.

Hi, I love what you've done. I'm in the process of renovating my house that was built in 1914. It fills my heart with joy when people see the value in older homes and take the time to restore them rather than tearing them down. Thank you 😊.

Having watched from the start, I know how proud I’d be if you were my son. Outstanding young man, congratulations💐

Wow, outstanding job. Energy efficient, modern and rustic at the same time. Saved the best features while adding modern conveniences. Views to die for. Bravo, amazing.

I vacationed in Spain for 2 weeks in 1996. Of all the countries I visited, I always said I could live in Spain. But never did. The next place I live will probably be a nursing home. Regrets I have a few. Glad to see you did it! Best wishes!

Wow, the view of the mountains from several windows, just stunning !

I’m a US Realtor, a Flipper, an AIRBNB expert. Wish I had an European BF so I could buy a home in Italy, remodel it, live there part-time, and use the home for what I know. Currently I split my time between the US and Brazil as a dual citizen. This home came out gorgeous. I love the views! I’m a dreamer 🙏🏽

I watched from the beginning when you first bought the house and getting rid of all that old hay, glass bottles, metal and other unsavoury things. You've done an amazing job with your house. I really love the amazing view from the balconies and the garden!

[gabrielfranco]

You have made your home so gorgeous . I remember when you first got the home. I was thinking. No way he can make that livable. You proved me wrong. It’s so amazing. Love the window with the amazing views

I need a guy like Nate, I love men who are very hands-on and don't fret away from a challenge. Such a cozy and lovely place.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I am really impressed by the idea of the museum bathroom! It's such a thoughtful and beautiful thing to do to honor the history of the house. As an art historian and also a spanish person, I find this so cool. Congrats for having such a beautiful home :)

[julierussell]

I am super impressed with the results of all that hard work, sweat, tears and all. Well worth it. Congratulations.

Your house is an absolute work of art and I absolutely love how sustainability was considered at every point. Those views are to die for never seen such beauty from a home before.
