My only complaint is that the video wasn’t near long enough. Absolutely beautiful!

[@GetInOurHome]

My compliments to this young couple with their new house , plenty of open space and a sense of freedom within , I hope they will add some nice decidieous trees and some hard woods which would compliment their new home , personally i have a love for trees and schrubery

[@GetInOurHome]

Lovely feedback Timothy, some nice mature trees would certainly be lovely on this site!

Some very interesting videos and love the camera work / music / editing however one thing most channels don't mention is budget and price, specifically the cost of land and the build - that's the most important part of any self build journey.

[@GetInOurHome]

Wow thanks very much, we've been working really hard on these episodes! That's a great piece of feedback, some of our later episodes feature costing, and all our recent episodes cover costing far more in detail! We're learning as we go along!

[@captainplanet1260]

This is awesome. Well done. This is the future if tradition would just fk off and accept the benefits of this style of building

[@GetInOurHome]

Passionate .. we love to see it!

[@user-ve3xv8uu3m]

If I were building now, I would make walls of solid brick, with a ventilated hinged facade or using frame technology. It would have turned out to be a warm house with a lot of inertia.

[@jtothesums]

Fab house and great video! I dream of the day when costs come back to €120 - 140 Sqft so I can build. They're closer to €200 - 220 now 😑

[@clovermark39]

Would of been nice to know what exactly the passive house details were. What did they use for the walls, underfloor heating, cooking energy, solar etc? couldn’t get a n idea of layout. What was meant by upside down house? Too much talking and not enough showing imo.

[@GetInOurHome]

Thanks very much for the feedback, really appreciate you watching :) We will definitely be going into more specific details in further episodes. This episode is also available as a full length podcast where the guys cover more details of the build. Link in the description above!

[@Bandaid17]

I love this video but I don’t see all the goals that are in the description met and how you met passive house standards ie heating, ventilation, insulation etc. will this be in a future episode?

[@GetInOurHome]

Thanks so much for your feedback, genuinely really appreciate it. Yes, this full in-depth interview is available as a podcast on the Get In Our Home podcast, where the guys go into greater detail on all of the above. Links in the description above 👆🏻

[@runningfromabear8354]

It's beautiful.
We're building a passive house but I don't have any interest in getting it certified. It's been quite an argument with my partner. I don't see the point in paying to prove it. We'll know it's passive and our bills will know it's passive.

[@GetInOurHome]

I suppose it’s a reassurance in that you have actually done it, and it’s also a sign of recognition in achieve passive house certification. Yes absolutely though, cost has to be considered!
