I need this dudes skincare routine.. long hours, in the elements all day, stressed, physically tough going… and he’s glowing man!!

Looks like Franklin’s house from GTA well done on the build🫡🫡

Note to self, when mowing grass on a hill with a motorized tool, do it downhill. OUCH!!!!
Hope it healed well, man! Mad respect for your work!

[BrotherEDEN]

I can only imagine the 'feeling' of knowing you built your home on a site no one else wanted but will now be the envy of everyone that passes by it. Bravo. And, Congratulations on weathering all the mini-storms to completion. It's STUNNING.

I'm in admiration - as someone not in construction I think people like yourself that can build their owns houses start to finish are incredible. Beautiful home from a fan in the US!

[nickhobbs]

I'm a builder in Holland, I'm most impressed you pushed through the last months of 'almost finished' with such energy and actually saw it through to absolute completion whilst maintaining those quality levels in the garden and finishing, that takes grit. The feeling when the plastering gets done is always one of the greatest achievements, but usually less than half way to the end due to all the little details.

Subscribed and looking forward to your next build!

This has to be one of the most satisfying videos I have ever watched on YouTube.

[REdgar]

Epic build! You must be so proud of this accomplishment. Taking an unwanted plot of land and turning it into a beautifully crafted and landscaped homestead. Amazing!

[jamesbaconreid]

Incredible job on building your home on that slope! Your hard work and persistence really paid off. It looks fantastic!

[kingdomfocus]

The land nobody wants now becomes the home everybody wants.
Well Done!

Iesson learned for me : spirit, persistence, consistency ... thx a lot for this video

[clydekamiya]

As a fellow tradesmen I can really appreciate the efforts you put in. Your eye for detail, humbleness to admit mistakes, willingness get down and do the gritty work, integrity to go the extra mile and your patience and understanding make you stand out amongst the rest 👍 you sir are a fine builder and a 1st class boss, I would be proud to work under you! Keep it going! Cheers

[TheFantasyClinic]

This was such a magical video to watch. I especially loved how you gave so much thought to literally every detail, right down to multiple designated areas for your kids. Your family are very lucky to have you!! Your home is incredibly beautiful and it's clear so much love got poured into it!

[MarcineKKK]

haha sorry for laughting, can't belive how care free you are, you literally mowed your foot and you still pushed along, thats admirable, something I needed to see today haha, thank you and sorry again for laughting, you're awesome. Ps. the house turned out AMAZINg. well done!

[iangough]

Since I’ve subscribed I have learnt the correct way to build . I look at what is being built in both Australia and the UK, and they could learn a lot from you. If I was to live in New Zealand, I would get you to build a home for me as I know that I would have peace of mind in knowing the house was done proper. Keep up the good work mate.

[jeremygziji]

im a new builder in Sydney and this vid is super useful / helpful thank you for sharing ... god bless

[AlphaMachina]

What an absolute masterpiece of a home. It's beautiful.

[bayodaman]

Dude watching this now in 2024. You got so lucky with when you started this build. The wood and materials would have been so much more. You got all the important things before lockdown.

[redGUMbuildingco]

Great effort mate!!!
I am in the middle of building our family home and it’s inspiring to see this start to finish.

[noworriesimfijian]
