Hey guys Brad the Builder here, I hope you all enjoy today's episode! Stay tuned for more videos, and I'll see you on the next job site! Follow along on Instagram: bit.ly/Bradthe...
Yea , she,s no karen.asks legitamate questions no "whiny " " i want this ...i want that" ...been there done that back in the day.fortunately most of my clients were like mace or flair...reasonable.save them a buck here a buck there...guess what you can now afford this.....contractors need to be skilled in communication as well as the hands on.Brad has that gift.
Hey Flair, ive seen a few different things where folks do like 1 huge pool but its litarally many in 1. 1st id do a spirts area, where u can have it maybe 4ft deep play pool games, keep it shallow for kids etc. Next zone the middle put ur wet pool bar in with stool seats or benches etc bbq and fridges all the works. Close to this area maybe ur hot tub or jacuzzi if u wanted one. 3rd side u want ur deep end with diving board and slides u could add one to the shallow side for the kidlets if u want too but ive seen too many kids fall or bust their chin or head open so i prefer them in the deep end myself and if kids wanna use them 1 wear water wings and 2 a life vest. If u want a lazy river thats a good way to circulate your water but so is a waterfall or water feature of some kind. You could make like a little cave kids can play in and have the slide where u climb the backside of the rocks to use it and it be coming down between the rocks and over the waterfall or the opposite side. But ive seen it for sure. Check out million dollar pool yards to get some back yard ideas and if ur pups will be swimming i would for sure go with cement pool over a lined one. One little paw nail with gash a hole in a liner so thats a thought too. Good luck and im sure u will love whatever u decide to pick guys, thank u for bringing all of us along with u on this journey. Wishig u both all the best and cant wait to see the build. Also id make sure tou have plenty of bar areas and coolers, fridges counter and cupboard space. My uncle didnt think of that or change room and a storage area to stock his var and he regretted it after the first summer and then ended up having to rearrange things etc, u know how it goes. So that might be something to think about as well as a bathroom near by. I suggest putting in a pool house, with doors you can slide open completely like opening the entire wall. That way, u can put in dressing rooms, towels, ur bathroom for folks so they arent trampling through ur home soaking wet. U can install your outdoor fireplace, grill and kitchen with a huge tv for any games etc u may want to watch while ur bbqing and enjoying the water. Definately worth it.
I've been sitting here grinning like an idiot for 20 minutes! lol. Andrew and Macy are so wholesome and fun it's almost offensive bahahahaha. I can see Macy getting in that shower room and thinking about installing a deadbolt. The zip line pretty much has to happen now. Some sort of motorized return is going to be needed.
Do you think you could engineer a zipline from the second-floor deck down to the pool's deep end ? Just make sure it's removable so the insurance company doesn't see it.
The house is really coming together! It looks amazing. It's getting easier and easier to see what it's going to look like. I sooooo want Macy's tub!!! With that view, I'd never get out! Are you going to seed or sod the grounds? A waterfall in the pool would be great. I think it would look amazing.
My suggestion is concrete infinity pool with a jacuzzi off on the one side, a rock waterfall coming off a hill or something that goes into the pool with a water slide that comes across it or something. Then for the back yard fire pit area you should get an old silo dome and put it above the fire pit with cedar posts holding it up. It’ll give you great cover underneath next to the fire and will also allow the smoke to go out the top center giving it a smoke stack look.
The house is coming along great !! Macy’s vision is going to be amazing . The pool area is going to be everyone’s dream pool !! Flair will have it with every Beefcake toy to be found !! Can’t wait ! Brooklyn is going to be the envy of all her friends .. she is going to love all the activities !! 👍👍. Loved seeing Macy , miss seeing her !
You should extend one of the backyard decks out to the pool to make a platform to jump off into the pool. Maybe have a rock wall down the deck into the pool with multiple ledges of different heights to jump off.
Andrew and Macy are so lucky to have a builder like you that goes over all of the small details to make sure that they get what they wanted in their dream home. Please keep the amazing video's coming on this channel
Amazing process and a beautiful home. Great job Brad! When work starts on shaping the yard, two things I would add; hardscape fire pit and a stunning water feature aside from the pool. Maybe a waterfall or water fountain with a small fish pond of sorts somewhere throughout the landscape. Just an idea. Have a blessed Monday everyone
An example of a cool touch for the back yard. Look at "Off The Ranch" and look at his reno vids, he has circular concrete steps in the back leading to a different section of the backyard, very nice touch. I think yall could really do something awsome with that idea.
So with the water slide, do kind of a theme park style water attraction where a garden surrounds the slide down to the pool on kind of a mountain structure.
Go CRAZY on the backyard aquatic center! Olympic size pool with 15 foot deep end, waterfall, water slide, diving board & platform and lazy river around the outside. Oh, and don't forget the swim-up bar!
Damn the house is coming along a lot faster than I expected!! It looks great!! I knew Flair would want to keep the unused wood because it only makes sense!! Especially now that he has 20+ chickens and 9 more turkeys 😆 🤣 😂
What about a stone wall with a waterfall into the pool with the slide built into it? And potentially the bar along side of the waterfall? Love the content.
@@BradtheBuilder Yes it is. I have a sledgehammer I cut the handle and can swing with one hand. I hit a block of wood. The wood is strong to deliver the blow of the hammer but is soft enough not to deform steel
Hi Brad, great video today. You and Andrew should check out today, June 12th episode of Off the Ranch. He's also building a giant gun safe in his warehouse and he's using a really cool system that attaches to the walls to showcase all the pew pews. Just in case you guys haven't seen something like this. 😉
You NEED a pool house with an overhang and a fireplace with a TV. Some tables chairs and a bar with a grill. The pool house can be storage for the pump and pool toys/equipment. 💪🏼
@@dino-335 A “pool house” is mainly for pool equipment including the pump. And if the pump is too far from the pool it doesn’t work properly. It’s easy to hide it by enclosing it away from the house. If I could post a picture of what I’m talking about you would think it makes sense lol
@@MrAnthonyr21 i have a pool house out back with a bathroom and some storage. my heater and pumps are hidden behind landscaping outside. personally, i wouldn't build a separate structure just to house pool pumps/equipment. but thats just me. if i could do it again id rather have the four seasons room built into the main house. those floor to ceiling sliders can be upwards of $30,000 depending on the size though.
An idea for the back yard that I think is pretty cool is you cut in the middle to put a 3-4 foot retaining wall and on both sides you basically make two ramps that gradually does to that lower level of the yard I think they would look really cool
Lazy river yes. Free dive deep pit for scuba diving or free diving. Wave pool. Water slide from the dog apartment into one of those toilet drop slides. You said no buget.
Zip line that goes over the deep end of the pool for sure. Maybe coming off the deck or something like that would be sweet. I'd stay away from tile in the shower. I've demoed plenty of tile showers and they all have had water damage from the grout failing over time. They look cool but that's about it.
@@BradtheBuilder yes, but you know water, it finds its way somewhere. I'm sure it was an installation issue but me personally I'm just not a fan of tile in showers.
Instead of a swimming pool I would like to see a swimming pond instead. Have a shallow sandy area and then on other side have a deep end with big rocks where you can jump from. You can also incorporate a few waterfalls here and there.
Honestly not much at all we use some steal beams a lot of LVLs we just do less concrete walls some but not many most of our houses are on 8x8 pilons we build them mostly wood from the girders up (we build mostly on a island ) but we frame alot similar And use the same stuff. But I have never done a basement or a lower floor quite like that one it looks amazing! I loved seeing it most of our ground/basement floors are framed in between the pilons.
@@BradtheBuilder yessir. Thanks for always responding. 100degrees today with a heat index of 112 the last 3days. U got to love Texas. I live outside of Houston sir.
@@txmarine82 it does get hot in Texas! Tomorrow up here in Nebraska we’re going to hit 100° for the next couple of days…with humidity they’re saying 106 heat index🔥
Been watching flair for years from googan times it's so crazy how much he's done maybe one day I can do something like this doubtfull but anything is possible
Well, it's about 3am and I still haven't slept. Imagine how happy I was to see another Brad the Builder video out! It's funny to see Andrew and Macy alone without the rest of the guys. It's a totally different dynamic. I had to laugh at Andrew wanting the scrap wood to build a chicken coop or something, yet he wants to pull out all the stops for the pool area (and the gun room, and the dog suite, and the garage, and the shop, and...). I also got a kick out of Macy tuning Andrew out. The "wah wah" sound you made reminded me of the adults in every Peanuts Charlie Brown movie ever made. One thing I would imagine is a no-brainer with pools is having a secure fence around it with alarms, etc. I always think of country music singer (and TH-camrs - channel: The Smiths) Granger and Amber Smith losing their then youngest little boy in a freak - totally silent - drowning a couple of years ago. That is the one thing that as a mom always scared the crap out of me and why I had my daughter in "swimming lessons" at 6 months old. I highly recommend them. If done correctly, you can teach an infant that young to get over on their backs, float, and find air. Pools should be fun. I'm all for a diving board and a slide, swim up bar, etc. but you also have to have any and all safety measures in place when kids are involved. As always, it seems like your subcontractors are awesome at what they do. It's always a good day when the dirt backfiller dude has a horn honk to share! Heather🇨🇦
Alpine slide would be sick.... Library ladder that slides for gun room... Underground sub woofers... Inflatable movie screen... Custom Cornhole/axe throwing game..
Hey Brad, silly question but do you have a much loved pet? If so, I do little (4x6" mounted on cardstock to fit a 5x7" frame) watercolor portraits of pets and have done pretty much anything from chihuahua to Great Danes, rabbits to horses, cows and goats, cats, birds... I'd love to try and do one for you and your family. If you do have a pet, I'd be happy to give it a try for ya. Not going to happen soon - I'm pretty laid up still but it'll give me something to look forward to tinkering with when I'm back to being a bit more upright! If not, no sweat! Heather🇨🇦
Heather, that’s so nice of you to offer that! I happen to have four dogs… 2 are grand-dogs on loan for ever!!! How do I get you a pictures? I will pay your for your time ❤️
@@BradtheBuilder Hi Brad! Wow, 4 pups is a lot! I thought we had a houseful with our 11yo dog Max (who just had his second back knee operated on about 4 weeks ago), a rescue (Sybil) that my daughter brought home from work (she's a trainer and works at a boarding/kennel facility) for a couple days and we just haven't give back yet and her cat Mowgli who is a tank and a rascal. I sent a different comment with regards to getting in touch so will close this one. Save you having to read me blathering on and on and on... 🤣
@Brad the Builder Put something like a ski-lift(or a tram) going up the hill and, a slide or a zip-line(or both) going down the hill.!.!.! Just my two cents here.!.!.! Tell Flair not to forget about his shooting range.!.!.! Long Live The Republic.!.!.!
For the pool it would be cool to maybe do a Rock waterfall that's also got a cave you can walk under or swim into. Maybe have a lazy river run through it and maybe a bridge over the lazy river with a slide off the top of the waterfall with stairs up in the back and maybe a sunk in seating area with a fire pit in the middle. Check out maybe hiring Lucas congdon he builds insane pools
I think a blow ground pool would be cool witha swim up bar maybe, i also think maybe like a actual smoke house of some sort so he can smoke some of the meats and stuff he gets from hunting and fishing definitely a grill and fire pit area, and maybe like a thing for him to shoot the clay pigeons from
You better grab as much of that good wood you can wood is so damn expensive lol but you could damn near use some of that to fix flairs cabin at the ranch save some moneys lol
As a plumber in Seattle area it blows my mind that CPVC is still used for water elsewhere in the country. It fails 20 years after install, often even faster.
I wanna see the ultimate Playground with a playhouse like a tiny house that matches flairs house that’s big enough she can grow into it as a teenager and still use
“I’ll take the scrap, I’ll build a chicken coop or something” 😂😂😂 describes flair perfectly
The house is looking great Brad ! Great update as always. Have a great week.
Thanks!
Hi Brad , it's nice to see Maci there too, not just Flair changing things LMBO Xx z💗.

I sooooo want Macy's tub!!! With that view, I'd never get out!
Are you going to seed or sod the grounds?
A waterfall in the pool would be great. I think it would look amazing.
We will probably do sod around the main area of the home, it typically isn’t that much more than seeding and you will have grass right away vs mud!
My suggestion is concrete infinity pool with a jacuzzi off on the one side, a rock waterfall coming off a hill or something that goes into the pool with a water slide that comes across it or something. Then for the back yard fire pit area you should get an old silo dome and put it above the fire pit with cedar posts holding it up.

Wow! I like your creative ideas🤠🎺
@@BradtheBuilder glad I could help! I definitely think it’s something they’d really enjoy. It’s kinda like a country rustic vibe
Looking great everyone !
How about a pool along side the downstairs and a big lexon window into the pool ...
Do a zero entry pool. Great for the little ones to splash in and can graduate to deep area as they learn to swim.
I like it! It would be nice to just relax & lounge in the shallow end💦
They need a kiddy pool/play area. Maybe a ultimate sand box with digging toys definitely need a play house with power and a TV set and mini fridge
Love it!
Thanks for taking my advice about the wood
Thank you! 👍🤠🎺

I’ll tell Macy we need to see more of her in her videos! 🤠🎺
You should extend one of the backyard decks out to the pool to make a platform to jump off into the pool. Maybe have a rock wall down the deck into the pool with multiple ledges of different heights to jump off.
I’ll run some of these ideas by the Flairs! Fun stuff👍
Long range shooting post from the attic window to the backland for when Macey and kid are away Flair can get some practice in from home.

Lazy river would be amazing! 🦦
A pool cave with water fall coming down on the entrance of cave and a slide right beside it would be nice or an infinity pool
Andrew's kids are going to have a blast!
Im glad u on youtube
Thanks! I’m having fun🤠🎺
Somehow I just knew that Andrew would want some of that leftover lumber to build things for the animals.
Haha! He is a saver… that’s a good thing. 👍
I use 2x4 scraps to beat on cars as a body man. Can never have enough scraps
@@lewiskemp5893 is that a body shop repair trick? 🤔🎺

You NEED a pool house with an overhang and a fireplace with a TV. Some tables chairs and a bar with a grill. The pool house can be storage for the pump and pool toys/equipment. 💪🏼
You can even have a bathroom too which is always convenient when swimming or just being in the backyard.
That’s a good idea… It’s always difficult trying to find a way to hide the pool equipment! Thanks 🤠🎺
i think thats why they have the four seasons room. pool access to bar/bathroom/storage

Absolutely awesome 😎
You are really Getting caught up on all the Videos❤️👍🎺
You should make flairs pool huge and make his back yard tropical
An idea for the back yard that I think is pretty cool is you cut in the middle to put a 3-4 foot retaining wall and on both sides you basically make two ramps that gradually does to that lower level of the yard I think they would look really cool
Good idea
Thank you!! Ur doing an amazing job I’m extremely impressed
@@jamesonbang3428 Thank youb

Zip line to the pond sounds awesome. Definitely recommend
So much for the Scrap Wood Brad that house is looking Fabulous
Definitely go with the zip line. Also a slide from the finished attic space down to the pool. Pool needs a grotto and a luge down to the pond as well.
Actually Flair needs to do the crazy slide stuff at the Barnmendium into the lake
Lazy river yes. Free dive deep pit for scuba diving or free diving. Wave pool. Water slide from the dog apartment into one of those toilet drop slides. You said no buget.
I have a feeling if we add all kinds of crazy stuff there’s going to need to be a budget🙆♂️
Zip line that goes over the deep end of the pool for sure. Maybe coming off the deck or something like that would be sweet. I'd stay away from tile in the shower. I've demoed plenty of tile showers and they all have had water damage from the grout failing over time. They look cool but that's about it.
When you demo those showers did they have the concrete board or Durock behind the tiles ? That should keep the water out… let me know 🤔
@@BradtheBuilder yes, but you know water, it finds its way somewhere. I'm sure it was an installation issue but me personally I'm just not a fan of tile in showers.
On the other side of the house put in a zip line and for the return use an skee lift..
rock grotto for the pool would look awesome
Instead of a swimming pool I would like to see a swimming pond instead. Have a shallow sandy area and then on other side have a deep end with big rocks where you can jump from. You can also incorporate a few waterfalls here and there.
I love these videos, im addicted
Thanks! Please tell your friends👍
I frame houses in eastern nc and it looks great love seeing different ways of framing we build a lot of custom houses our selves
Thanks so much for watching!
Is our framing different from yours ?
Honestly not much at all we use some steal beams a lot of LVLs we just do less concrete walls some but not many most of our houses are on 8x8 pilons we build them mostly wood from the girders up (we build mostly on a island ) but we frame alot similar And use the same stuff. But I have never done a basement or a lower floor quite like that one it looks amazing! I loved seeing it most of our ground/basement floors are framed in between the pilons.
@@hisnherz9979 thanks for sharing… it’s interesting how construction differs in various parts of the country 🤠🎺

Awesome video Mr. Brown. I think a lazy river would be amazing especially with an endless budget. Must be nice.

Thanks Jimmy! ❤️
Why not just get a aquascape natural pond? Kamp Kenan has a dope one. You should really look into it.
Let's get buildin' !! 👍👍
I think FLAIR needs a pool with a cave hang out spot with a water fall thats at the entrance
There's a company out of Sarasota Florida called Lucas lagoons
they make amazing pools
I’ll have to check them out online!
Thanks
Have a slide coming off the deck into the pool
Don’t do a diving board, do like massive rocks that make a cave but you can also jump off them
I think this house needs a tower then turns into a deer stand in the back of the house.
Make the pool baby / toddler safe, but am sure you allready keep that in mind
Imma need to come back and watch these videos once the house is done so I can picture everything you guys are talking about too. 😂😂😭
zip line down ski lift back up then u can have some old school billy karts . race down hill
Go all out with pool !!
Infinity edge gunite pool baby!
Can’t wait until the rough electrical brad!
We should have that starting in about three weeks… hang in there! 🤠
Loving the videos Brad!
Thanks Timmy🤠🎺
Zip line and big water slide
The house looks amazing
Hey Flair i would recommend putting a full size volcano that would be cool
You would probably have to move to Hawaii or something. Just an idea
Flair should do an Alpine Coaster down the backyard hill instead of a zip line.
That’s a fun idea… He has all the rolling hills to make that happen! 👍❤️
Hey Brad, silly question but do you have a much loved pet?

I thought we had a houseful with our 11yo dog Max (who just had his second back knee operated on about 4 weeks ago), a rescue (Sybil) that my daughter brought home from work (she's a trainer and works at a boarding/kennel facility) for a couple days and we just haven't give back yet and her cat Mowgli who is a tank and a rascal.
I sent a different comment with regards to getting in touch so will close this one. Save you having to read me blathering on and on and on... 🤣
@@heatherd.9390 looking forward to it… thanks Heather🤠🎺
Tell Andrew to put a go kart track in the big rome
That sounds like a lot of Fun! I’ll tell him
@Brad the Builder
Put something like a ski-lift(or a tram) going up the hill and, a slide or a zip-line(or both) going down the hill.!.!.! Just my two cents here.!.!.! Tell Flair not to forget about his shooting range.!.!.! Long Live The Republic.!.!.!
Pool plus half a pool as an aquarium, terrace it down and make a below grade viewing area.
Gotta make sure you add some sound proofing after flairs last gun video lol or Andrew might be living in the dog apartment
If you do concrete it will be better in the long run we have a liner pool tears up in a year
Thanks for the heads up! 🤠
Another good video
swim-up bar would go brazzy
For the pool it would be cool to maybe do a Rock waterfall that's also got a cave you can walk under or swim into. Maybe have a lazy river run through it and maybe a bridge over the lazy river with a slide off the top of the waterfall with stairs up in the back and maybe a sunk in seating area with a fire pit in the middle. Check out maybe hiring Lucas congdon he builds insane pools
Sounds like Flair’s been talking to you… That’s some cool stuff!
Maybe there needs to be a budget??
but what fun would that be😜
Macy said open check book lol 😂 you already got the go ahead.
I just ask that the pool has a fence around it with a lockable gate.
Brad the builder is a beast
They should do a trampoline park
I think a blow ground pool would be cool witha swim up bar maybe, i also think maybe like a actual smoke house of some sort so he can smoke some of the meats and stuff he gets from hunting and fishing definitely a grill and fire pit area, and maybe like a thing for him to shoot the clay pigeons from
James, those are all excellent ideas❤️
If he’ll let me buy a season pass to his backyard pool… I would like all those things as well 😜
Rock wall so it’s like your clif jumping
These videos are amazing
Wow u picked the best builder
You better grab as much of that good wood you can wood is so damn expensive lol but you could damn near use some of that to fix flairs cabin at the ranch save some moneys lol
We are on it!
As a plumber in Seattle area it blows my mind that CPVC is still used for water elsewhere in the country. It fails 20 years after install, often even faster.
Are you running all copper?
@@BradtheBuilder commercial it’s mostly copper, residential all PEX (typeA).
@@alexshuparski BigAl,
I have reached out to my plumber to get more information for you on this.
Custom shower pan and tile all the way
I wanna see the ultimate Playground with a playhouse like a tiny house that matches flairs house that’s big enough she can grow into it as a teenager and still use
Never seen a contractor digging threw the garbage pile lol. We throw out so much stuff on jobs 😂.
I’ve been caught dumpster diving from time to time! 😜🎺
