Glad you have a second channel, i feel like converting your first and main channel into a home/renovation channel wouldn't be great for business, however having this second channel still allows your real fans to watch more about your daily life and feel more connected as a viewer. Smart thinking
@@Mrchasez I suppose it *could* work, but again I don't think it's financially the right move. You may retain some of your original audience, while replacing many other OG's with new viewers that are more interested in the home renovation and lifestyle vlogs. Which, again I still think he'd find success, however your roots remain in the Automotive community, thats the whole reason his channel blew up and he got famous. I stand by my point that having a second channel for this kind of thing seems like a much better option and move than totally abandoning your core audience.
I own a small lawn care company and I would love to come give your lawn a proper cut and teach you how to maintain it with the equipment you have! You could be the envy of your neighbors!! Get some fire stripes going and all
Damn James you need to put a ring on that girl. She loves cars, works on cars, does carpentry doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty. Doesn’t get much better than that
I love how these two tango with each other in their day to day lives. They make this channel one of a kind, I forget I’ve been watching stradman for years now.
Second Channel Mowing so relaxing. Time to marry Sophia which I am guessing you already know. She helps paint, work on your cars, does yard work and seems to make you even more happy on camera when she is there. She is a keeper sir.
Bench was a good call, only thing I see that could potentially bring up some issues would be the vents you guys kind of cut in half. They kind of look like return air being not on an exterior wall and the length of them. Covering those up can hinder performance and cause potential overheating issues when heating and coil freezing up when cooling. I would definitely recommend just cutting a vent into the bench as a simple resolution
For first timers, that's pretty good with the tools you have! The best way I've found to make a joint like that is bevel the edges so they overlap and then use wood filler on the seams - makes them virtually invisible. You could probably still wood fill that and spend a good amount of time sanding and it would definitely help blend the seam out.
I think Sophie should definitely start a DIY channel. Her bench looks great! Her work looks better than some full-time Finish Carpenters I've worked with. Plus, if she did start a DIY channel, she probably has a year of work on the Strad. Compound. You would also get that free labor. 😉
It's so nice to see Sophia get involved in all the things around the house, like she is no diva and i love it about her. Strad really needed no diva around
Get a sliding compound Miter Saw and cut the ends on a 45 degree miter so there is an overlap between the long and short boards. You can then glue and brad nail the seam and it will be less noticeable. FYI that is not a table saw it is indeed a miter saw. Happy to help on these projects for a ride in a car or two. :)
I honestly loved this video. Loved the personality, the music and the editing. Really just kind of homed in on everything that’s been nostalgic for me on your channel. Keep it up!
Props to you and Sophia for actually doing the yard work and the home improvement project, I was mildly surprised as my husband probably wouldn’t let me get involved.
I actually love thos content I'm a big HGTV guy and I never thought My favorite Car toutuber would have a DIY channel. This is awesome and you got yourself a great genuine girlfriend Strad.
I love this style of videos, Strad! Started watching you for the love of cars years ago, and stayed for how entertaining you are, and now Sophia too. Sophia should definitely start a building channel. Absolutely love any Strad/Sophia content ❤
@@xTooXGood7x From what I understand she's not broke either, so they'll prolly both agree on signing one mutually, or nix it all together (buit i doubt that).
Loving the vibe you two have! 💕 It's great seeing Sophia dive into all the projects and not just being a bystander. Also, her bench skills are on point! Maybe a joint DIY project channel could be a fun thing to watch? 🔨✨
Strad, you should add a purple strip of wood over the seam where the noise panels are at. It would 1. look really cool and 2. cover that seam that is slightly noticeable.
I was a little startled that you and Sophia were actually performing the yard work and the house remodeling job because I knew my husband would not have allowed me to get involved. Well done.
TIP Number 1. When mowing the lawn, leave the cut grass as it makes the lawn feel good and then the cut grass breaks down. TIP Number 2. Dog food and food for pigs have the same content and vitamins, many who make dog food also make food for pigs. The difference is that the packaging for dog food is beautiful and attractive, while food for pigs is sold in brown sacks and is much lower in price. It is not unusual that you pay for 1 sack of dog food, you get 5-6 sacks of food for pigs.
strad I feel like your hair is actually the opposite of balding, it looks like its gotten better and grown more over the previous times youve showed your hair!! also I really love this type of content where you just show us you doing random errands, chores, and just day to day things, its a good break from all the loud and flashy car stuff and its a lot more down to earth
I think definitely she should make a build channel on your channel too because it would make a big massive vibe in your other channel and it’ll make more people subscribe and like the video. It’s always good seeing Sophia with you.
2:56 it steal doesn’t feel real that The Stradman has a koenigsegg. I still remember the times you were living at the burlacher like it was last week ago. Keep going man💯💯💯
We're #28 on trending!!! The lawn mowing vlog never fails lol
letssssssssssss gooooooooooooooooo
I've never been more enticed by lawn mowing content on YT.
We need more man !!
Lets goooooo🤭
i purchased a table saw and brought it home in my Suzuki Cappuccino one time
“You wanna edge?” -strad
It's not NNN yet.
out of context it sounds so weird from him saying it
Glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on it
I laughed
I'm SO glad I'm not the only one with the mind of a thirteen-year-old. 😂
Sophia definitely grew up in a loving household with a great father. Shows in her craftiness.
I was thinking the exact same thing !!!!!
Those are the best women
i wish there were more girls like her lol

Goonzquad semi converted their channel into a rennovation / building channel from cars they grew a lot from it.. so its happened before

Bro feeds off the real fans I promise he’s him

OMG, Soph doing a home mod channel would be amazing! You gotta put a ring on it, James. She has been such a blessing to you!
I own a small lawn care company and I would love to come give your lawn a proper cut and teach you how to maintain it with the equipment you have! You could be the envy of your neighbors!! Get some fire stripes going and all
Stad, take him up on that, nothing better than a finely shorn green space.
extremely good idea!
@@schoek6668I would love to!
Damn James you need to put a ring on that girl. She loves cars, works on cars, does carpentry doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty. Doesn’t get much better than that
came here to make the same observation!
You took my words, she is something indeed, its so amazing to watch them both going at it.
I was just about to say the same thing
I think Sophie wears the pants in this relationship. I believe they call it nesting when she is fixing up her man's place.
i want a girl like Sophie holy the amount of effort she puts in is crazy
Not a table saw. It’s a miter saw. Sorry had to do it
It was upsetting me to, so I am glad you did it.
Came here to say that as well. Lol
Had to be said
I looked through comments just for your comment😂 I love the Strad and couldn’t do it just couldn’t
Ditto, I am shocked that saw doesn't extend more. It looks like it might.
I love how these two tango with each other in their day to day lives. They make this channel one of a kind, I forget I’ve been watching stradman for years now.
WOW! that bench was amazingly done. props to sofia, crushed it!
Sophia is a women sent from the heavens
James, you struck gold with Sophia, blessings to you both.
Second Channel Mowing so relaxing. Time to marry Sophia which I am guessing you already know. She helps paint, work on your cars, does yard work and seems to make you even more happy on camera when she is there. She is a keeper sir.
Came to the comments to say "SHE'S A KEEPER! HINT HINT!"
@Stradman u could of spent a little more for a self propelled mower…she was using all her power just to push that mower.
@@SkullysPlace so.. a riding mower, or zero turn?
You should refrain from telling a person they should marry someone.
@@SkullysPlaceno v.
Sophia is an amazing woman. I'm glad to see you both happy together. Thank you for letting us watch her amazing carpentry skill!

Sophia is definitely a keeper. You should get her a channel of her own. It could be based around home DIY Projects. That bench turned out great.
this might be the best youtube relationship ever
Right, god bless them both
By far
Adam LZ and Colette are right up there too.
0:47 "you wanna edge?" 🤣
Immaturity level 1000. Living in Mom's basement rent free and have meals cooked for you.

@@RhinestoneRhinoimagine not being able to f yourself woman

Excellent job on the bench. Man, we all need a Sophia. 💯

She already has a channel... were she rebuilt her miata.
@@tobiastho9639 Link?
Ms Stradgirl is a keeper James!!!
💯
100% I hope they get married. Sooooooo good together
It's so nice to see Sophia get involved in all the things around the house, like she is no diva and i love it about her. Strad really needed no diva around
6:20 - "Yep, there they are."
I see what you did there James.
You may have found you a keeper, she genuinely looks like she’s having fun working on the house and that’s badass
She's the very definition of a keeper. Super cool.

nice negotiation😂🤌

Anyone else can't help but smile when the sound of the car overpowers the voice of James when he yaps about how awesome the car is?
Props to you and Sophia for actually doing the yard work and the home improvement project, I was mildly surprised as my husband probably wouldn’t let me get involved.
The thing is if it wasn't for Sophia Strad couldn't do most of it haha
0:23 , should probably rephrase that 😭
and then sophia said is that the right thing for that 😭
rewatched it
didn’t catch it the first time
I’m sayingggg because I was like ayooo😭
@@christrevor3598 fr 😂😂
I had my moment like "Did he just said that"
Then "Did she just said that ?"
hahaha, our mind are torched man
Love watching these house progression videos. Love watching your house turn into your dreams. You earned it man. Never stop.
I actually love thos content I'm a big HGTV guy and I never thought My favorite Car toutuber would have a DIY channel. This is awesome and you got yourself a great genuine girlfriend Strad.
NGL, I dig these Videos! Yall are such a good vibe to watch, please keep them coming!
Edger got me
8:08 get yourself some wood putty and a little paint, you won't even know the edges are there.
Came to say this
Orrrr some trim.
Well the put a bench
strad, you might need to get a ride mower when you finish you're backyard fully
Agree unless he puts in a go cart track, another garage, a helipad or a pool (my suggestion).
Or all of the above🤷♂️🤷♂️😂@@justwatching6186
Yes please god now that there’s no regular content, let’s get mowing videos please
His landscaping crew will take care of it.
put an Fi exhaust on it and widebody paint it pink.
Definitely a keeper,
Helped you mow the lawn
And yes they definitely always look best wearing your own clothes
Love videos of you and Sofia working together😊that’s goals
Sophie is awesome! The chemistry and all she is willing to do is perfect!
Great work Soph!! Turned out great!! Thanks for your support James, but your gal really showing her skillz!! Love it man! Keep it up guys!
0:22 HES DOING WHAT TODAY?
what we all do when we see sophia
@@TVCHLORDnah bro
Eww brother.. what's that brother...what's that???
I'm so old. I had to look it up. So hilarious when you listen to it in that context. I think Sophia knew the reference and James didn't.
Weirdo
Great job on that shelf bench.
I love this style of videos, Strad! Started watching you for the love of cars years ago, and stayed for how entertaining you are, and now Sophia too.
Sophia should definitely start a building channel. Absolutely love any Strad/Sophia content ❤
Just put a ring on that already she's doing everything right 😂😂😂
as long as my boy gets that prenup
@@xTooXGood7x yeah i agree he's got a lot to lose but not a lot to gain if things go south which i never hope it does
@@xTooXGood7x From what I understand she's not broke either, so they'll prolly both agree on signing one mutually, or nix it all together (buit i doubt that).
Strad is always putting this girl to work
I love you own a several $$ million dollar home and still do your own yard work . Respect!!
This has to be one of my favorite stradman videos - much respect to the Strad 🫡
Loving the vibe you two have! 💕 It's great seeing Sophia dive into all the projects and not just being a bystander. Also, her bench skills are on point! Maybe a joint DIY project channel could be a fun thing to watch? 🔨✨
Man, I love the new vlogs with more of your actual lifestyle. Sophia is definitely a keeper! Love to see the GOAT happy who makes us happy!❤
5:30 the I'm getting emotional had me dying.. I love that feeling of a super cold Coca-Cola when it's hot out..literally makes your eyes water haha
Well done 👏 Very sick! Definitely get her on her own DIYchannel. Im sure lots of people will enjoy watching her learn to build!
Love it you two click and motivate each other.
The bench looks great, just put some cushion and pillows and it will look dope.great job Sophia 🔥🔥🔥
yesss the old strad music is back, legendary
Strad, you should add a purple strip of wood over the seam where the noise panels are at. It would 1. look really cool and 2. cover that seam that is slightly noticeable.
James needs to do a ride mower build series on this channel;take it the most decked out thing ever
WOW.........Impressive Sofia. Nice job!!!
Love it when Dimples is on with you. She is the sweetest.
I have an electric mower/ EGO, best lawn equipment purchase ever, I’ve even made side money mowing others lawn just how quick I can do it
i agree
Whenever I see a notification saying that James has posted, it puts a smile on my face
I was a little startled that you and Sophia were actually performing the yard work and the house remodeling job because I knew my husband would not have allowed me to get involved. Well done.
Y’all doing home improvement is so entertaining, I love it!!!
Long time 🇨🇦subscriber
When you find a BC girl that doesn’t care about broken nails,
She’s a keeper!
James calling a chop saw a table saw the entire video is the best part 😂 we still love you though
Actually it's a miter saw
@@jonarens385Lots of people call mitre saws chop or drop saws.
Umm actually its a compound miter saw. Why do people always have to do this crap. @jonarens385

You guys are killing it looks good you two look happy and having fun responsibly
... good job James... keep it up. And remember your taste in car is really good, leave the house to her!!!
strad is a professional edger
props to James for taking care of his garden / lawn himself, not just paying someone to do it for him
Aint no way this man just threw the bananas 10:12
🤣🤣🤣
Just need a cushion with some color and that will be amazing. Great work Sophia
For years I’ve been watching strad grow and live his dream. It’s cool asf that he shares his life with us🙏 I hope I get to meet him one day.
HOUSE UPGRADES!!!
Petition for Sophia to start a TH-cam channel
13:44 Nah she used wood filler? she was an interior carpenter before 😭 no one knows to cover nail holes with wood filler for some reason
Happy for you, Strad !
That’s a really nice piece. Well done guys !!
Just get the ring already! lol
Edging👀👀👀
11:47 PLS PLS!!!!!!!!!!! I AM BEGGING ON MY KNEES I WILL BE FIRST SUBSCRIBER
Bro, how much unemployed you are?

1:54 strad no
0:43 brother what
Sofia!!!!!! that Looks So AMAZING!!!!!!!! OMG! Absolutley amazing Wood Working Skills! I OMY FLIIPING FLIP!👏👏👏👏👏
Nice DIY video you guys! Thanks for the shout out James. 🫡
I like this channel and the relaxed vibe more than the main channel. I guess I'm not James' demographic as a 45 year old guy?
This content is actually more fun than the standard car stuff!
Cheers
strad I feel like your hair is actually the opposite of balding, it looks like its gotten better and grown more over the previous times youve showed your hair!! also I really love this type of content where you just show us you doing random errands, chores, and just day to day things, its a good break from all the loud and flashy car stuff and its a lot more down to earth
I like the second channel as well. Can't wait for the crazy big backyard renovations.
Sick - Trust Me Put a ring on her- James! She's a keeper 💯💜❣
I think definitely she should make a build channel on your channel too because it would make a big massive vibe in your other channel and it’ll make more people subscribe and like the video. It’s always good seeing Sophia with you.
Does anyone else agree that we miss the more personal content from the past. This was a good refresh
She really did some good job fr.....you should def keep her James
If there was ever doubt if she’s a keeper… y’all are awesome together 😎
9:51 You see that RED CART over there? You're at TARGET. They have awesome dog food for your floof. Great choice!
Sophia just Nailed it ( pun intended )
