This was awesome to watch. My Dad and I built a house together 4 hours away from where we lived. We worked every weekend for almost 3.5 years. Sadly right about the time we finished, he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and passed away 7 months later. Your video reminded me of one of the best times I ever had with my Dad. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Yeah, thats really true, but if the house is finally finished it won't burn completely to ashes by the first fire. And if you get shot, you're perfectly fine and the bullets won't go through the wall like a bullet through a drywall... wait a minute.

you have to realise that doing these videos probably helped him get through with the project, giving him motivation and another source of income. + you can see his family was there most of the time so you have to assume they helped with the videos, and other stuff, he wasnt all alone.
The way I saw it was...he couldn't find good help, like in a professional sense, so he had to use what he had kind of thing. I don't think he was saying his son wasn't good help 😉
@DEVARMONT7 Aussie here also, and yes, that is a very common phrase, and can mean different things, depends on the tone, the loudness or softness of your voice, but the way he said it with the video of the kid 'back-swinging' that hammer, is precisely what you said, a term of endearment.
He keeps referring to "we, we, we". I don't see anyone else helping him but "him, him, him." Someone is very talented and someone has an amazing husband!!!

This reminds me of my great grandfather, who lived in the north of Sweden, close to the coldest place in sweden. There they only had 3-4 months without snow and the rest was below freezing and they would get towards 3-4m snow each year. In 1930 when he was 18 years he started building his house all alone. He dug the basement by hand in solid rock mountain, he built the house by hand in wood and after about 5 years they could move in. The house is still standing and our relatives still lives in it.
In a time when every ounce of entertainment is fake, these videos are a solace for the soul. Thank you. What a wonderful journey you and your family have completed.
this man is so dedicated. he built THIS entire house HIMSELF. and yet he never just says “i did this” or “i did that” he says “we did this,” “we did that.” 🥺
Of course he's gonna be crediting his wife for 'moral support'. Truth is, even in this day & age of equality, he received no help from someone considered to be a 'significant other'. At least no on-site help from what the video suggests, especially at later stages beyond clearing land.
@@ZubinB Woah, from what i can gather they have a child, dont you think his wife has more responsibilties like looking after the kid and going to work? Why so ignorant
Been with my wife 36 years. She nor I ever say anything without adding "WE". You're a team from the moment and even before you say, "I Do". Couples who don't feel this deep in their heart and soul, aren't really couples, and rarely last.
It's a lot of hard hard work. I showed my wife and said, I dont think he works a full time job because I'd take longer than 3 years with one man working 40 hours a week and coming home to work 2 or 3 hours. Weekends are pretty much it when you work.
@@italwayshitsthefan Yeah it is a lot of work but he did get some help here and there as he said and as was shown in the video, without contractors and friends i dare say this project would have never been built.
Yes, It's awesome! Thinking about doing something like this in the next few years. GO back 60 years or so. My grandfather built his own families 2500 sq ft house back east. You used to be able to order home kits from Sears. :)
I can totally imagine you living in this ranch 30 years down the line practising self-sustaining farming and saying "It ain't much but it's honest work". I truly admire your motivation, humbleness, and sheer persistence.
The bank said no, thus he avoided the financial monopoly of the banking community of perpetual debt. He doesn't have to worry about any bank FORECLOSING ON HIS PROPERTY. In essence it is the bank's loss and his gain.

Toza Same. Went down a rabbit hole (drain hole?) of watching draining videos for a while the other day. The guy was trying to unclog the drains and cars were being rude splashing instead of going around even though there wasn’t much traffic.
Very inspiring! I couldn't help but smile throughout this whole video, your calming voice and honesty makes me want to do something similar here in the UK. Well done on building this home
What a legacy to have your children and grandchildren to be able to say: my Dad literally built this house and land with his bare hands! Tip off my hat to you Sir, much respect!
Please excuse me for my English, it's not my primary language and I quite avoid the language as my family is forcing me to speak in our native language.
I was thinking as I watched this awesome vid: a lot of people head off to college. Why? Get a great job to get a great home. To go to college, the go into debt. With their great job, they pay down their debt and get a great home. The get more debt. They work for 30 years (at best) to pay everything off. Now, old and tired, they can enjoy their home. In the same time of a university education, this man accomplished all of that, for a fraction of the cost, with myriad lessons, strengthening experiences and sources of pride in oneself to accompany the prize. I'd say this man just gave us the ultimate "life hack."
"Sometimes it is hard to know what we are capable of until we are put in situations where we just have to get things done." Oh man, your motivation is moving mountains. Your family must be so proud!
This is the kind of thing that should be taught to children in schools applying the maths and sciences and arts along the way instead of them learning by theory and being judged in that knowledge with a grade. Its disgusting what isn't being taught in schools today. Wow, you built all of that for $25,600? That's amazing.
@@Cortesevasive Uh, yes it is. Woodworking can be a practical application for all kinds of maths and utilises both left and right hemispheres of the brain.
@@tfox6919 No, they don't teach survival basics in schools. Its all liberal, intellectual, and theoretical, not to mention political. All of the survival basics can utilise reading, writing, and arithmetic. Practical application is the key, not just the abstract.
I came across this timelapse by accident. Being an avid timelapse fan, I think this is one of the most perfect timelapses I've seen so far. You show the (almost) impossible. Building a house almost on your own. Most respect for you.
@tdot22 The comment wasn't about the dog specifically. It was about how the guy in the video could look around and see that he had built all this himself, knowing he had gone through lots throughout the journey, and that in the end he was proud of what he'd done. He knew that because he had put in all this work, he could give his dog some water that he had worked for all by himself.
tdot22 then go out and crusade for human rights without being a total dickbag about a guy building his own personal water system. He’s allowed to take a second to appreciate the hard work that went into being able to simply pour a bowl of water whether it was for a dog or not. So fuck you
@tdot22 Chill out this guy just pumped his water and gave it to the dog and that made the guy smile because it was a little portion of water behind a shit load of work that's been done ,and the dog doesn't realize it , which makes it even more emotionnal towards the dog's owner

This guy: The bank won't finance my house? Screw you, I'll build the whole damn thing by myself
John McNeil the bank would definitely give him a mortgage now. The banks don’t care to help when you need them but when your finished they become very interested in getting what you have.
Smart way to do it, I had my home payed by age 32, bought it at forecloser dirt cheap, and then fixed it as I had the cash come in to bypass a loan. Took 6 months and $15,000 in repairs but I made it.

Mann, what an inspiration.....thank you so much for sharing.
I enjoy building. Only problem is most places require so many god damn permits and inspections and fees and bullshit it makes it really difficult to build your own place unless you're way out in the sticks.
What a journey you've been through but I will say, I respect you man! Hope you're getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor🙏❤
I love that the reason you didn't incur any debt is because the bank wouldn't loan you the money to build there. Best "setback" ever.
Totally agree!! So many people could learn from this.
I was having a hard time today, thinking about how badly I wanted to do something like this but feeling so overwhelmed by the thought of it, and feeling like I'm not capable of it. This thing you said really spoke to me.
"Sometimes it's hard to know what we're capable of until we're put in situations where we just have to get things done. I've made mistakes, I will make more mistakes, I promise, but anything worth doing is going to be hard."
I wish I knew all that you learned on your journey. Thank you for cataloging so much of it, and for giving others the tools they need to achieve similar goals.
“Sometimes it’s hard to know what we’re capable of until we are put in a position where we have to get stuff done”

This reminds me of my great grandfather, who lived in the north of Sweden, close to the coldest place in sweden. There they only had 3-4 months without snow and the rest was below freezing and they would get towards 3-4m snow each year. In 1930 when he was 18 years he started building his house all alone. He dug the basement by hand in solid rock mountain, he built the house by hand in wood and after about 5 years they could move in. The house is still standing and our relatives still lives in it.
Amazing!
Wow!
That‘s the type of person i would love to sit down all day & wanna hear their storys and life lessons .. man that‘s crazy i got goosebumps

There's immense value in taking the road less traveled.
In a time when every ounce of entertainment is fake, these videos are a solace for the soul. Thank you. What a wonderful journey you and your family have completed.
this man is so dedicated. he built THIS entire house HIMSELF. and yet he never just says “i did this” or “i did that” he says “we did this,” “we did that.” 🥺
Of course he's gonna be crediting his wife for 'moral support'.
Truth is, even in this day & age of equality, he received no help from someone considered to be a 'significant other'.
At least no on-site help from what the video suggests, especially at later stages beyond clearing land.
He had a few people hold the 2nd storey wall when it was raised up and needed to be secured to a support, but yeah, pretty much going solo
And you just sleep in the bed and being proud 😂😂😂
@@ZubinB Woah, from what i can gather they have a child, dont you think his wife has more responsibilties like looking after the kid and going to work? Why so ignorant
Been with my wife 36 years. She nor I ever say anything without adding "WE". You're a team from the moment and even before you say, "I Do". Couples who don't feel this deep in their heart and soul, aren't really couples, and rarely last.
Dude! I've never seen a home that big built by one man.
It's a lot of hard hard work.
I showed my wife and said, I dont think he works a full time job because I'd take longer than 3 years with one man working 40 hours a week and coming home to work 2 or 3 hours. Weekends are pretty much it when you work.
inspiring!
@@italwayshitsthefan Yeah it is a lot of work but he did get some help here and there as he said and as was shown in the video, without contractors and friends i dare say this project would have never been built.
Yes, It's awesome! Thinking about doing something like this in the next few years. GO back 60 years or so. My grandfather built his own families 2500 sq ft house back east. You used to be able to order home kits from Sears. :)
R A Feller 2:54 He mentioned he got help. There's no way he could build this on his own.

Wow. Talk about the sheer will of a man who won't be told "no". You got it done brother. Beautiful.
Banks proven worthless again....
The bank said no, thus he avoided the financial monopoly of the banking community of perpetual debt. He doesn't have to worry about any bank FORECLOSING ON HIS PROPERTY.
In essence it is the bank's loss and his gain.

I was thinking as I watched this awesome vid: a lot of people head off to college. Why? Get a great job to get a great home. To go to college, the go into debt. With their great job, they pay down their debt and get a great home. The get more debt. They work for 30 years (at best) to pay everything off. Now, old and tired, they can enjoy their home.
In the same time of a university education, this man accomplished all of that, for a fraction of the cost, with myriad lessons, strengthening experiences and sources of pride in oneself to accompany the prize. I'd say this man just gave us the ultimate "life hack."

@tdot22 lol learn to take a joke dumbass
@tdot22 The comment wasn't about the dog specifically. It was about how the guy in the video could look around and see that he had built all this himself, knowing he had gone through lots throughout the journey, and that in the end he was proud of what he'd done. He knew that because he had put in all this work, he could give his dog some water that he had worked for all by himself.
tdot22 then go out and crusade for human rights without being a total dickbag about a guy building his own personal water system. He’s allowed to take a second to appreciate the hard work that went into being able to simply pour a bowl of water whether it was for a dog or not. So fuck you
@tdot22 Chill out this guy just pumped his water and gave it to the dog and that made the guy smile because it was a little portion of water behind a shit load of work that's been done ,and the dog doesn't realize it , which makes it even more emotionnal towards the dog's owner
