I actually feel bad this channel doesn't have way more subscribers. It's always such great information coming from years of experience given away freely and meant to people. Super nice thing to do. Kudos sir.
Thanks! It's been a long road to get here and I'm grateful for each new subscriber. Our goal has always been to just help other average people like us 😊. Thanks for such kind words.🎉🎉
No kidding… seriously the best content on TH-cam
Thank you Derek for highlighting these strategies! 👏
You're welcome! Housing is a team sport and we are always learning. 🎉🎉🎉
I want this house!!
🎉🎉 We give away this basic floorplan ADU on our website. We made a few mods to it for this custom model.
Great video! We just purchased a 950sqft house that needs work but we are going to make it work with 3 kids under 8! These are some great ideas. I watched the entire series on building those two ADUs and will be doing something similar and taking advantage of all the government grants we currently have here in Canada.
That is amazing! Great to hear this.ADUs are fantastic. I’m glad the content is helping!
Great collection of ideas!
Glad you liked them! 😊
How about the exterior sheathing, is that non toxic?
Roof deck is 5/8" plywood, the wall sheathing is OSB.
I love this channels content. What was the hardest part about becoming a Gc for your builds?
Thank you! I would say the admit work behind the scenes is the hardest part for me 😮
2:37 what is that painting?
🎉🎉 great story... it is a rad piece by the neighbor, pro artist Erik Abel.

By no definition are these "hacks", ideas or tips yes, "healthier".....some of them.
I think they are. We are taking elements that most houses have, and changing them slightly to produce a better result while improving heath based on data.
@ThatADUGuy They definitely are hacks, thank you for sharing this build with us!
. You're welcome, thanks for the views!
@@ThatADUGuy I get it's your channel and you used "hacks" to get clicks....but again, by no definition of the word or usage of the word is anything in this video a "hack". The dude talking about "mini splits, because they don't bring in outside air"....duh, neither do whole house HVAC. Name one thing that was a "hack" in this video.
I make videos to add value not to get clicks. The biggest hack is living large in a small house with good design. Vaulted ceilings make a small house feel larger. Merv 13 filters are the only true smoke filter. ERVs are affordable and bring fresh air into a home inproving cog function (unlike your example). Double 5/8" drywall soundproofs a room for cheap. Putting lights at the right hight improves sleep. Slylights that open, cut cooling bills way down by letting heat out almost instantly at night. Most people want an EV charger to charge there car from the house, this house can run off the car. The SW air filtering paint is only $5 a gal more than stabdard paint. These are all great hacks to building a smaller, healthier, and more funtional home.
