I don’t care what anyone says this is the best way to work at home in peace and I have done something’s around my home some good projects and some not so good but just being out there is therapeutic 😊
Sir I could literally watch you build anything all day everyday!!! It’s called damn you do pristine work!!! Love the way you edited this vid. Just showing the process and no talking. Unintentional ASMR haha. I can’t believe you just happened upon that circular stone piece in the woods. I think I’d call that divine intervention my friend. Looking forward to many more like this!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Haha yes it certainly is. I wrote the comment before the end of the video so now I know that you knew it was there but still what a great fit!!! Superb job as always!!!
Just a tip many don’t know for anyone who is abutting two pieces of wood: the half-lap woodworking joint is easy! Easier to search for it to see a picture, but; If you have a 4x4, at each end, cut a chunk halfway (2”) down for just the last 4”. Do the same with the wood it abutted, then just put the two cut ends together. This way, you can nail through both pieces from above, creating a clean connection that won’t shift back and forth.
I loved the no commentary! Before this video I started watching one with a couple building a deck and their commentary was so over the top I lasted 10 minutes of a 39 minute video. Yours was perfect, I saw all the info I needed 👍👍
You did the best job! My back was killing me just watching those tree roots lol! Such a good video showing the whole process! I think this might work for my parents yard! Thanks VM👏👏👏
It was very satisfying watching you methodically create the patio and freshen up your yard. There's so much to do in my own yard, and it was nice to see someone make progress, even if it's not me!
Looks amazing!! We just overhauled 3 huge flower beds, rebuild our front deck/porch and reseeded a section of our grass that was all weeds by our sidewalk so I can appreciate the huge amount of work you just did in this video. You always make it look easy meanwhile there I am red faced and dying doing my stuff 😂
Not to take away from the beautiful work this man did on his yard, but that's even more amazing that your work taxes you like that and yet you're still out there getting it done. Good stuff SaltySeed 👍
I foresee A LOT of relaxing family and friends time there. Beautiful job. Your sad plant is a daffodil bulb, I think. It’s doing it’s thing by dying back as spring turns to summer. Plant taller bulbs in the back, shorter bulbs in the front (like crocus) and a few perennials in the middle like more peony (the pink flowering plant already there) and hosta. Thanks for saving the existing peony.
I must say, that patio looks brilliant and very inviting and comfortable. I did miss the commentary, but what you said at the end made sense. Great job and great filming 👏👏👏
Very helpful video; we're thinking about doing a similar project in our backyard and this gave me a good sense of how to get started, thank you! From what I could see, the plant that "looks a little sad" is probably a daffodil bulb, which will regrow/rebloom in the spring. If it didn't bloom this year, it probably didn't have enough sunlight; you can always dig it up and plant it somewhere sunnier if you like.
finally a video that I could leave the volume up on. No chippy background music, no attempts at cutesy commentary with your arms flailing about, just work. Good job!
Now that you have shown me how, with a strong back to help me, I think I can finally do this in an area that has been worrying me- when it gets cooler!🥵. Thank you for showing all of the steps needed. 👍👍
Man, the way you have basically rebuilt your house entirely is something to be admired. I'm still pretty young (22) and it would be my DREAM to buy a house that needs work, just to update it myself.
Working on the storage/ woodshed today. Just finished with my raised bed garden. Feel for you with the shovel work, filled raised bed by shovel and five gallon bucket. 20 yards worth turned out great though. Love the patio
Fantastic job. You are a hard and dedicated worker. I see that you can do anything you set your mind to do. Dare I say that you are a perfectionist. That is a good thing. You remind me of my son. Can do anything and a perfectionist.
Matt, holy cow my dude! Your new outdoor room is amazing. You already had the best house on the block...you've taken it to a whole new level now! Also, I like the no commentary style, but I prefer the comments. I've learned so much from you by the way you describe what you are doing.
Just AMAZING!!! Can’t believe I just watched this from start to finish and I didn’t care about the narration. I was glued. You did an epic job, keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Your kids are going to have lots of fun filling a pail with rocks that they will distribute throughout your lawn. It’s a beautiful patio and I hope you enjoy it.
I love this video! The dig was interesting to watch. Every little touch up made the transformation more than incredible. You are really good at details 👌🏼. Everyone doesn't have that capacity. It's usually from lots of experience or a very detailed woman in your corner 👍🏼
Cool! The careful selection of materials and the meditative process of construction created a unique sensory journey. It's a must-watch for those seeking relaxation and inspiration for their own outdoor projects.
Love the outcome but will say that I personally enjoy narration instead of the ASMR stuff. I like to hear you explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, etc. Totally get why you may have switched it up and tried this ASMR thing but just giving my two cents in case you were hoping for feedback to gauge if you should do more.
Yes I appreciate the feedback! I like to try new stuff every now and again. No worries, I am not pivoting to an ASMR channel haha just worked out for this project so I thought I would give it a shot. Thanks!
Ah, that took me back to one afternoon where I had a job shoveling and wheelbarrowing a few yards of gravel in 105 degree heat..... fun times, fun times.....
We absolutely love the remodel!!! We would like you to go back to speaking during your filming though because it makes us feel like part of the process and then we get to know the little details better. A lot of your previous videos gave us a bunch of pointers for our own remodel, so please go back to talking to the camera during the process and tell us what you are doing!
Great as always! Someone else commented as well but the “sad plant” is a daffodil bulb and past its season. Just cut the greens off and it will come up next spring. Also, I have really good luck spreading peat moss over the seed. It keeps it moist after watering, helps germinate, and keeps the birds away. Hey, sometime can you do a quick shout-out to your family so we can meet them? Thanks for all your tips! Christine
I am so use to you talking Mr. Fixer. Great video and self explanatory. Thank you the patio space & fire pit LOOKS AMAZING. Great job as usual 💜, I Love it 🥰.
It may be sparse at first with a lot of annual weeds...just continue to water, mow them down, use a weed & feed and overseed bare spots if needed. Rule of thumb with new lawns and plantings...1st year they sleep, 2nd year they creep and 3rd year they leap.
I thought he was going to put a🔥 beat behind this but it was better to hear how much tension was present as he formed a fulcrum to pull the roots out and drive through the dirt with the spade. The Fixer has done it again
You do excellent work & made it look so easy I hope you enjoy your deck & patio for a long time to come. This video was so awesome to watch & I learned so much from it. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Interesting approach with no editorial commentary by you. I miss your usual catch phrase at the beginning 'And we're going to do it right now'. But, seriously, I like your approach either way - with comments or without. Thanks and continued good luck with your projects and your family. Sincerely yours.
no talking, no music, just hard work. perfection.
Agreed
I don’t even know you and I’m proud of you.
Lol😂
😂😂😂
This was so satisfying. I love all the attention to detail;great job.
HAHA
@@Aisucksyeah,no speed up
Man, you got to appreciate this guys patience and diligence. That's a hell of a job to do by yourself.
I definitely loved the silent no commentary style. Would like to see more like that
The attention to detail is insaneee, he painted the wall & deck to make it look extra good when done! I'd hire this guy for any project!
Thanks Emma, much appreciated!
Fantastic job. And realistic for normal people on normal budgets. Hope you enjoy it.
I don’t care what anyone says this is the best way to work at home in peace and I have done something’s around my home some good projects and some not so good but just being out there is therapeutic 😊

Forget the circular saw...just get the chain saw! I love it
Beautiful work and I enjoyed just quietly watching. Great job!
Man! You ain’t stressing about anything. You work peacefully. Good work , clean project
I love your videos. Whether you narrate or you just work, you’re an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent work. Hard worker. Didn’t spend a fortune. Looks amazing.

New lawn always needs a couple of reseedings for the patchy spots.

This is my life right now - old house, digging up roots and rocks everywhere
This turned out so nice! Great job and ideas all the way around! I’m super impressed!❤❤❤
I’m impressed that you did all that yourself and it turned out wonderful.
Looks like you and I have the same friends helping with projects. Great job.
Working on the storage/ woodshed today. Just finished with my raised bed garden. Feel for you with the shovel work, filled raised bed by shovel and five gallon bucket. 20 yards worth turned out great though. Love the patio
Wow! That is an insane amount of buckets haha
@The Fixer it was. We need to see the fire pit in all its glory next time. Lol
Fantastic job. You are a hard and dedicated worker. I see that you can do anything you set your mind to do. Dare I say that you are a perfectionist. That is a good thing. You remind me of my son. Can do anything and a perfectionist.

@@TheFixerHomeRepair you're so welcome. Always love your content but this was a whole new level.
Best video ever - informative, inspiring and a delight to watch. Your family has a keeper in their midst! Great job 👍
This was like a fine meditation. No words needed. Men are amazing.
THE BEST levelling I’ve ever seen AND I love the very long nails through the retaining wood
Great job my friend. Enjoyed it very much. No talk. You silently worked your way to the completion of the job. Great.
Great job. Looks amazing sir. 👏👏👏👍👍
Just AMAZING!!! Can’t believe I just watched this from start to finish and I didn’t care about the narration. I was glued. You did an epic job, keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

Your kids are going to have lots of fun filling a pail with rocks that they will distribute throughout your lawn. It’s a beautiful patio and I hope you enjoy it.
The two year old is already a fan of the rocks. 😂 Thanks for watching, Katie!
Thanks for doing this. Love the no frills, no nonsense, just-do-it approach. Kudos, brother.
I love this video! The dig was interesting to watch. Every little touch up made the transformation more than incredible. You are really good at details 👌🏼. Everyone doesn't have that capacity. It's usually from lots of experience or a very detailed woman in your corner 👍🏼
You have proven once again that you are a genius. i love your work. Many lovely greetings from germany ❤❤❤❤
Wow! You really created, painted and cleaned it all up beautifully!!👏🏻👏🏻
Cool! The careful selection of materials and the meditative process of construction created a unique sensory journey. It's a must-watch for those seeking relaxation and inspiration for their own outdoor projects.
This is great! It is ALL show, and NO tell, mostly - lol. My favorite kind of DIY videos.
I loved watching you create an outdoor space for your family. I've use metal edging for gravel but I like the wood better. It looks great!
It's a great job and it's technically correct. Good balance in design and lots of contrast in use of materials. Really good. Well done!
Your work speaks for itself. No commentary required. Brilliant! 👏👏
Thanks! 😃

this was super relaxing to watch without any commentary and you are such a great craftsman!
Beautiful work.
Nice place for Mrs. Fixer and the boys. 😊
Looks real good and now you just sit back and enjoy all your hard work
I enjoyed watching you doing the new patio, I stopped the video so I could tell you how much I enjoyed watching it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you.
Thanks so much! 😃
Great work as always Matt!! This video is so calming and the results are amazing!
So happy you enjoyed it, Kevin! I really appreciate all your support!
That looks beautiful. Exactly where you would want to spend an evening with family & friends. Great work.
Nice Solo Stove! We love ours!
Great work on the patio! Inspiring. 👍🏻
Wow. That method of leveling the trench was pretty cool.

This is what you call work boys and girls. Good job bro!
Excellent job. It is so gratifying and relaxing watch your job performance and attention to detail.
Nice peaceful and useful for a family with very young children
Yeah this is exactly what I love about your channel ... you do it all. this one is super unique toooo
Keep watering the grass all summer and it will thicken up just fine. It may take a full year for it to really settle in. Looks great!
Thanks for the tip, Mark!
It may be sparse at first with a lot of annual weeds...just continue to water, mow them down, use a weed & feed and overseed bare spots if needed. Rule of thumb with new lawns and plantings...1st year they sleep, 2nd year they creep and 3rd year they leap.
@@rjo2269 Awesome. Thank you. I don't exactly have a green thumb so I appreciate the advice!
Truely enjoyed watching the transformation. You actually gave me a few ideas, I hate grass and love the pea gravel. Great video.
I'm literally studying this video for my patio project. I stress about grading correctly. Thanks for sharing!
Don't care what anyone says I personally love it. Great Job
This needs to be an ad for Ryobi. Making them shine.
I thought he was going to put a🔥 beat behind this but it was better to hear how much tension was present as he formed a fulcrum to pull the roots out and drive through the dirt with the spade. The Fixer has done it again
As much hard work and care you have put into that house. I can only wish I could buy it.
Another incredible job. Yes, I did enjoy the video.
Looks like my yard: rocks & roots & dry! Great finish - I have hope now!
You do excellent work & made it look so easy I hope you enjoy your deck & patio for a long time to come. This video was so awesome to watch & I learned so much from it. Thank you for sharing your skills.
You did it again! Wow, awesome job! Enjoy this summer. You deserve it! Proud of you!
Liiiiissssssennn, give me a man with some dirt underneath his nails ANYDAY!!! A good ole tradesmen is so hard to find these days!! GOOD JOB Sir 👏🏽 👏🏽
We are just starting our backyard patio- going to use this as a guide! TFS
Good luck!
Some of these home-improvement guys think they have all the answers. I like that you did what works for you. I think it’s really well done.
Thanks!
Awesome work, a lot of patience and determination!!!
Thank you. Now I have what I need to know for my project. At first I was annoyed for the silence but then you talked at the end of your video. 😄

Beautiful. I usually put cardboard then mulch to prevent weeds.
Nicely done.
And i kinda liked that no commentary approach, was kinda soothing.
Thanks! It was fun trying something different.
I just gotta tell you that I enjoy your video and great job on your work. Took your time and picture shows more than words. 👍🏼👍🏼
You really take care of the details. Great work.
You are so awesome and talented! Love everything you have accomplished in your home. I’m sure your family enjoys as well. 👍🏻
Get it mister! Wonderful video and overall a fantastic result. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Loved it!! Great video. I’m glad there was no talking, it was nice just to watch. I need you in my life! lol
I think it looks great and that you did a great job. Nothing fancy, just simple, but still looks great.
Thanks for sharing! This was awesome. Loved your finished project so much. Made me feel like having something nice is doable for everyone.
Just love, love the way it all turned out. Beautiful! This gives me some ideas. Thanks for sharing.
