About Dude Dad:
Hi! I'm Taylor Calmus, a rural South Dakota born and Colorado-based actor/comedian. I started Dude Dad© two weeks before my son Theo was born as a way to stay creative while learning to be a father. My wife Heidi and I now have 4 kids and over 500+ videos. We also have a TV show on the Magnolia Network called Super Dad. My purpose for the channel is to entertain, enlighten and inspire.

OH MY GOD I have been waiting for a house update. Everything is coming together so well. I can't wait to see it all finished and the layout of everything once you get furniture.

[jenniferellsworth]

Crazy the amount of energy Taylor has for his family. Crazy.

[darinjost]

Don't worry about getting behind. You just a couple more days.

It's amazing that your children will be able to watch your house renovations and remodel, for years to come, and see how much time and effort their parents took to make the house a home for them! :)

[wrfcnbp]

We missed the videos!!! Please keep then coming!!

[SpawnReaper]

lmao hitting the pole on the ac indoor unit to outdoor unit transition was gold.

Wow, this looks AMAZING! I love everything about this series, making such a wonderful home for your family. And being a part of the process will only make you appreciate it more❤

[mateamarie]

Keslo is walking ?!? What? Getting so big ❤️

[Kurodarkness]

Hooray an update! Who needs HGTV when there’s these lol

Your reno videos are my fav. Frost heave happens but not that much, Central Alberta gets way colder and we still do normal bottom plate. Guess you have to follow the code. You addition is going to be the warmest place in your house.

Y’all are such fun parents!! Your children are adorable!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀

We have some weirdo ‘expansive soil’ here in Colorado. When it rains, the soil turns into an expanding, slimy slurry. Can’t plant shrubs or trees near the house, as any irrigation will cause the soil to expand, resulting in a cracked foundation, or a cracked basement wall. When the soil dries out, it becomes either hardened, dry clay clods, or it crackles and turns into a dry powder. It takes years to build really good rich soil out here. In the meantime, we battle the bark beetles, Japanese beetles, and the Emerald ash borers that are decimating our evergreens, grasses and plants, and ash trees.

Fantastic job, you should be very proud of yourself.

[lucygarrett]

It’s looking so good! Can’t wait for the final product!

[sarahsvoboda]

Glad it’s all coming together glad it’s becoming more of a new home

[ayshapaige]

So cool seeing the work and learning the details!! Cant wait to see what it looks like in a couple more days!! ❤

[PhSyCo-B-oCh]

This is awesome to see, everything is coming along nicely, I cant wait to see the finished product. Ohhh it's sooo exciting 🤩

[ComedyBros]

That's looking awesome and the craftsmanship is fantastic! You guys are so close!
I can't say I know exactly the stress and the tiring days you're going through, but I can say I've been in a pretty similar situation!
We added onto our kitchen in 2021, all the work being done by me, a few of my brothers, and my Dad. Wife and I had a 2yr old and 3mo old.
We didn't have any code inspections to meet, so that wasn't a worry. But we live on a slab home so the concrete for the addition had to be pretty dang close to the original kitchen slab.
It was tiring and stressful living in a workzone with two little kids and being unable to use our kitchen for 2mo, but, the end result was so incredibly satisfying making it so worth all the work and stress!

[stevefuller]

The floating walls are due to bentonite clay in the soil. It's to prevent the structure from being damaged when the slab inevitably lifts during expansion of the soil

I waited so long for this I'm so happy for your family God bless you from New Zealand 🇳🇿
