- 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!

Yes, I like these videos. I appreciate the families that let us look through their home. I love the wood floor it's beautiful. Very lovely home. Thank you for letting us see it.
Thanks for commenting 👍
Fine job once again. My builder installed a wall to wall Granite counter over my washer and dryer and a drop-in utility tub. We love it for folding clothes.
I bet that looks beautiful! 👍
Yes, these videos are wonderful and an excellent addition to your library. This is a SPECTACULAR home, and I'm gratified to get a chance to view it. It was truly a lovely home.
Thanks Will! I’m working on more Home tours of properties that I’ve designed and built through the years! 👍🎺
@@BradtheBuilder That's some terrific news, and a good use of your time! 🤣I'm certainly glad that I found you through Flair.
@@willr69420 Me too!👍
I was so happy to see a new video from you, Brad. It was another great one.
I don't even know where to begin on this home. It's no small feat that you can make such a large home seem so cosy and homey! It is exquisite. Your attention to detail is, once again, amazing.
A huge thank you to your clients for allowing you to walk us thru their home. It is stunning.
Heather🇨🇦
Thanks Heather! I hope you have been doing well!🙏
My homeowner Matt was wonderful to work with and he had a lot of great ideas!
Thank you for sharing. I am building a new home and I love watching for inspiration.
Check out some of my other videos for ideas or my Website

Brad, I says a lot about the dedication you have to your craft for you to do the research on the small details to make the house authentic. That house turned out really nice, great job.
Thank you Bill! It’s fun to be able to design and build one-of-a-kind homes! 🤠
Another great video
Thanks Lewis!👍
Great work once again Brad. It says allot about your work & character when the home owner let's you come back and walk through their home. If they weren't happy, they definitely wouldn't want to hear from you let alone allow you to set foot in their property! Amazing house btw
So true! I pride myself on having great relationships with my clients… several have come back and built with me for a second and third time🤠🎺
First thing I notice is that the garage doors are around back and out of view, THANK YOU. Thumbs up just for that.
When I can I hide the garage doors!
Thanks for noticing 👍❤️
Thank you for inviting us into your home. Brad, it is beautiful. Your team is incrediblele.
Thanks Chris for checking in & watching 👍🎺
Wow! Millionaires always have their homes so clean! Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Maybe the get people to help 🤔👍
Hi Brad ,I've been in some Pretty high end Homes.
Not too many caught my attention.
This one is definitely my Style as far as High $.
Maybe because I'm from MA. But it's classy yet comfy.
Thank You to the owner for letting us see beyond the front door 👏🎃🍁.
In MA they say to paint your porch Ceilings Blue to keep the Devil at Bay 😱.
We had two Doors. One was Front the other was set Back. It went to the Kitchen from the same L porch just set Back.
We ate there all Summer three meals.
Winter we brought the big table in. Family of 9.
Nicely Done Brad 🙌.
Love Em 💙
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
Thanks Joanne! I always look forward to hearing from you and I appreciate all your kind words❤️👍
Outstanding modern colonial home. This family may God bless them with this lovely property surrounded by nature and lots of privacy and peace.
Uhg I'm from an live in Baltimore city an I hate tge ravens I'm a green bay fan since the 90s
You got a respect Lamar Jackson’s talent! That guy is amazing 🏈
Does the irrigation water have high iron content? Looks like the concrete has rust staining.
Yes this property is on well water! We have a very extensive purification system for the home but the sprinkler system is just straight from the well… I didn’t notice it until I saw the drone shots! I guess this is what you get with country living🤔
@@BradtheBuilder Did some quick googling and there appears to be solutions precisely for the homeowners problem. Read up on the topic and you can tell him about it over the Steak Dinner you are buying lol.
@@thedelcodave thanks! I might owe you a steak dinner🤠🎺
Watching these fire 🔥 episodes as always can't get enough!
Thanks so much 👍🎺
WOW...super cool video...whatta beautiful house!!!
Thanks Danny!
It’s a pretty structure, to me: it doesn’t match the terrain that it’s sitting on.
In Nebraska they developed corn fields, so it takes a while to get trees🙆♂️
Brad, what does it cost to built a similar house like this today, cost of lot/land not included?
Yes love the video! Beautiful home for a young wealthy family lol me I’m 61 and trying to down size after a lifetime of accumulating stuff!!! Our home is almost paid for and it’s a big ole brick house over 100 years old too much house for just hubby and I.
You’re doing the right thing… As the kids leave the house people are downsizing and thinking about enjoying life and traveling!
This home is a young family so they can appreciate and use a larger home at this stage of their life!
thanks for watching ❤️👍
Well we can guess Flairs house cost about Double this one
🤔🎺
$willy2x incase anyone is feeling generous
I'm glad it's not for sale because I was going to ask if I put 50% down would you be able to carry paper.
Then we could probably trick Andrew into making the monthly payments.
😉😂🎺
Haha! Maybe Flair should open up a bank? 🤔
TH-cam recommended this video for me, I'm an armchair building critic who has lived in and visited real Colonial homes across the country, so some of this will seem cruel:
* One of the most significant characteristics of a Colonial is the symmetry. I'd love to see a matching wing on the other side.
* The chair rail (the top height of the "plinth of the pedestal" from the classical orders) is too high for the height of the ceiling - oddly enough, the window sills are about the correct height and had you continued the line from the sill to the top of the chair rail it would have tied together better - it's also a bit flat to the wall for what it's supposed to be... consistency in quality is hard, and it's a sure sign of a master.
* OMG shoe moulding! EVERYWHERE!!! Was there a special on that, or did the warehouse need to liquidate material in a hurry due to a fire? Seriously though, shoe moulding is a sure sign the flooring installer and finish carpenter were not talking to each other (and so they build the base of the wall moulding to cover for that lack of communication), and no visual style was really settled on and enforced by the architect or the home owner/customer.
* Weird that the alcohol cabinet @4:00 ("...I drink some Scotch..." yeah you do...) is also not proportioned well for the room, and is separate from the wall for such a substantial peiece of furnature.
* The downstairs rooms have beams, but the oportunity to put in columns to visually support the load is missed - those columns also help to bring the visual break from one space to another down to floor level. This appears to already kind of be done with the paneled wainscoting giving way to painted drywall around a corner, but that transition seems "forced".
* Light fixures - cheap 6" recessed cans everywhere, modern AF. I would have wanted to see the non-period fixtures hidden very well, putting more priority on the period-esque light fixtures and hardware.
* The detail of having that exterior window to balance the face of the building is good - but it reeks of needing to evaluate the floor plan for optimizating away how it ended up in a wierd place at the height of the stairs-landing inside.
* Speaking of the exterior windows, those dormers should have been in line with the windows to the lower floors both on the main house and the garage
* Columns don't match the style of the building, and they don't line up with the beams correctly. The capitals here are flush with the entablature (beam) where the column shaft itself should be in-line with the face of the entablature with the capitals protruding (could have shrunken the beam visually to make this correct - a big box-beam makes this problem even worse IMO).
I'd call this "Colonial-ish" or "Colonial-chic" perhaps, definately a Colonial-Revival-Revival at best. Some of this is on the customter - he said it himself he "lived and worked around colonial homes" and wanted something familiar. It's hard to give someone what they want when they only have a passing famliarity about it. This is however a chance for you as a builder to learn new things about old ways - those things you learn you can use to advocate for details in the design-phase for customers who have an idea, but no knowledge, and want to be wowed.
Wow! You really know your stuff👍
there’s lots of things that I’m sure that could have been done different but, I was under the direction of the homeowners wishes!
In regards to the base shoe, the wood flooring material was delayed so we move forward with installing the trim before the wood floors, which created the need for the base shoe.
Thanks for responding !
Backyard is missing out on a few amenities that people associate with a home this expensive.
There are young family and built a big home to grow into, Typically backyards and landscaping come in stages. 🤠
Gorgeous home! Lived in New England all my life. Always love the home’s beautiful architecture.
These homes are timeless & beautiful
@@BradtheBuilder agreed
Yes ❤ to see,. .!
Hey Brad! Great Job! Quick question - we're in the process of developing home plans with an architect. My wife wants a walk-out bay window in the front of the home. Isn't it important to excavate under the bay window or is cantilevered fine if 2 feet or fewer?
You said walk out bay window are you putting a door in that cantilever?
If so, you need a foundation underneath it… But if it’s just a bay window, it’s not necessary to have a foundation below it but it Hass to stay at least 8 inches below grade
3.5mil? I don't see anything in the house that would boost the price to 1,000 per sq ft. The flooring is nice and the siding is an upgrade, but I don't see the 3.5mil.
I don't understand how a custom builder is so obsessed with LVT. Do you suggest that to your clients?
The home did not cost $3 1/2 million.
(i’m not sure where you got that information?)
I’m not a big fan of LVT flooring but my clients have the option to select wood,carpet,tile, LVT…whatever they wish… And a lot of them are choosing LVT! I just find that interesting 🤔
Oops I didn’t see the Tag-Line! If you add all the land the home comes with and costs to build today… you be at that price! 🤠👍
Beautiful home. Thanks to the home owner for letting us see this amazing home.
They are wonderful people and that makes my job so much more enjoyable ❤️
Watermelons and steak dinners, your clients love you.
Haha! They know my sweet spot… Food😜
great vids but I am in Canada and a gas fireplace ( barbecue ) 3 1/2 mill I must smell smoke and chestnuts roasting come on Bradly . xo
My editor misunderstood me… It’s not a $3 1/2 million dollar house (take a look again I remove that copy) sorry! It’s still an expensive home🤠
What a house Brad. Love these videos. They sure built them big in Nebraska.
We do have some very big homes in the Omaha area! There’s a lot of quiet money in this town🤠
The driveway layout and the landscaping are unatractive and could be done much better.
Any suggestions?
I’m from New England and this was honestly such a well-crafted video and I really do appreciate you Brad and the family to letting us see it. it’s good to see what maybe I can retire and have somewhere else in the country rather than be stuck to the area to get the home when you can just build it
Matt, when you’re ready to move to my neck of the woods… I would love to be your design/ builder! 👍❤️
Beautiful build and wonderful videography....
Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful home. Way to go Mr. Brown
Seeing this late but when he said he got the floor milled from upstate it blew me away I know exactly where as I live in upstate
Wow! The floors turned out fantastic… They were pricey, but not everybody wants to spend that kind of money on their floors but it’s worth it👍
i love how his house was bulit through what he has seen
It’s really fun to be able to help peoples dreams come to life! 🤠
these are great looks into what you and your crews have been up to before we met and it would be great if you had a horrible home owner that almost made you quit and try to do a video with that family
Oh!!! I have a couple of the those clients 🙆♂️. They could not mentally break me!!😜
Very nice house! My wife says "Let's move in!". hahaha
🤠👍
Wow, that’s amazing craftsmanship, way to go Brad!
Thanks Travis! 🤠👍
Love the subway tile but in my opinion it looks better with more traditional black grout to break up the white
That would be a nice look!
That is a incredible view looks so much like a plantation house I love it
That’s a Beautiful view… goes on for miles!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful "well put together" home. Love your ideas.
Awesome video. Owner was a good sport in letting you poke through it all. Obviously a very well-off family, but love the humility he vibes.
Thanks 👍
How long is it gonna take flares new house to be finished
I’m hoping to have it all done by late March early April 2023… in 6 months🙏👍
Stunningly Beautiful home. Love the floors. Thank you so much to you and the homeowners for allowing us to appreciate their home.
Thank you for watching and reaching out!
Another great build, this house was beautiful, not really my taste, but a very classy farm house...quick question, I'm sure you designed and built your home, in my experience when I was younger (a lot younger) I worked for several builders, and they did fantastic work, but for some reason their own houses were always a work in progress, kitchens half built, plywood floor in half the house. They were always so busy that they never finished their own houses...I guess what I'm getting at is, what does your house look like and is it a work in progress? Thanks for another great video...🎺🎺
Hes already made a video of his house. Go look
there’s an old saying that the shoemaker kids don’t have shoes!
I do complete all my homes and I’ve lived in over 20+ homes that I’ve built!
If you scroll through my videos I did a tour with Flair in my personal home several months back. Check it out and let me know what you think?🤔
@@BradtheBuilder lol. I already replied
@@BradtheBuilder I checked it out, very nice home...my favorite you've shown so far...only thing that would bother "me" is being that close to a neighbor, other than that, it's a stunning home...best of luck with it.
@@lewiskemp5893 thanks I checked it out..
It's really nice. your builder should go see the Grand hotel in Mackinac Island. Its beautiful.
We do indeed have beautiful homes here in New England ❤️
They are the backbone of American Home design ! ❤️
Best home yet.... keep the home videos comeing
Really! I’ll be sure to tell the homeowner👍thanks
Hi Brad. I’m so thankful for great people like you. The example, and standard that you set is absolutely amazing. Watching you work through “situations” with your subs, and taking care of things as promptly as you do has been very life changing.
I’m a new business owner starting up in the small to mid size remodelling world, and seeing how you operate is very inspiring. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work!
Congratulations on starting your own business! Always do what you say and try to do more than what people expect and you’ll do just fine👍
Beautiful, but with those views, I'd want as much glass in the back as possible
Nice
All the wood is painted white.
That is the correct way to replicate that period of home
Absolutely beautiful house nice job
The black and white house look was/is never a good look.
man i wish you did work in australia, im looking at doing a knockdown rebuild. youd have had my business in a heartbeat
Darn! Maybe I can design your home? 🤔
@@BradtheBuilder *blinks* seriously? id love that. might have to clear that with the chief financial officer..aka my wife
@@kamujian haha!
This house might be perfect
Thanks, but for some reason I continue to find ways to improve on these plans, especially during construction! 😫👍
That's a super cool house
Thanks! It was fun to build and the clients were wonderful❤️
I love watching the videos of old builds
There’s a trend where people want an old homes but, made new
Pressure wash that cement!
What you’re seeing is the well water iron from the sprinkler system! Looks bad… very hard to stay ahead of it
What a beautiful house !
I love the design and yeah that’s a perfect match for the houses here in mass
That butterfly was definitely a paid actor 🎭
Outstanding
These videos are awesome, I really enjoy them!
Thanks… I wasn’t sure if people would like them?
@@BradtheBuilder I’m a energy analyst for my local energy company, I see a lot of homes. It’s really nice seeing homes being built correctly. It’s also great to see the pride you have in your homes. That’s why I enjoy them. Thanks for the videos it’s very much appreciated.
@@zackerycooper5050 Zackery, Thanks for watching! I would love to hear some of your ideas that I should be incorporating into my homes… I’m always looking for ways to improve and build better homes for my clients🤠🎺
The exterior of this home is so amazing!! Wow. Great job!
cool GMC Sierra
Thank you… But I put a dent in it last week🙆♂️
Sad how this is 3M
Oops! 🙆♂️That was a misunderstanding and I have since removed that copy from the thumbnail… It was just over $1 million
Another great one!
Thanks!
Gas fireplaces???
Epic fail.👎👎👎
I grew up in Carlisle Massachusetts and there's a spot in my heart for Colonial design from the very simple Alcott house to the Grand colonial so classy and livable...
They are timeless beauty’s👍
You just jumped right into this youtube thing and you're doing an awesome job Brad. On upload day, the first thing I do when I get home is have a seat and watch your video. Loving the content and can't wait for more. Much love from Australia
Thanks Rebel Rob! That is so cool I have had Australian friend❤️👍
That house is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and it’s so cool that they let you come out and do a video on it. Keep it up brad loving the content.
Thanks Andrew! I am working on setting up more home tours if people like this?🤔
Great idea yea I think most people will like it I know I do. Plus it’s gives you more videos to post while you get more footage from your job sites.
Thats so nice he let you take a look and video, awesome house it makes a big difference when furniture is in to see houses!
It’s fun for me to see the homes we work on for so long all decorated!
Thanks for watching 👍🤠
It's a beautiful home! I love the see through fireplace. It's just gorgeous. I love all the little details that help bring the house together.
Thanks Mamaw❤️🤠🎺
What a beautiful home. You 2 designed it perfectly.
Thanks David! You are to kind😘
Man this house is so sweet. Love the early European influence.
Thanks 👍❤️
It’s cool to see the grand hotel piece on the wood, great to see the state of Michigan get some recognition!
That’s a bucket list for me to go to Mackinac Island👍
I would love to see some of the houses you have built it gives me and idea on my house I’ll be starting soon.
I’m working on coming up with some more homes that I’ve built over the past 30 years to show everyone!
Thanks for watching 🤠
Beautiful house
WOW!!! That is a gorgeous house!!
Thanks Tracy! I see you are a Realtor? What city do sell homes in (if you don’t mind me asking ?) 🤔
@@BradtheBuilder don’t mind at all! Im up in the Portland, OR. Area
@@tracyweilandrealtorbeekeep3957 I hear it’s beautiful there… I’ve never been! Are you real estate prices continually going up and up?
@@BradtheBuilder ya, it is beautiful up here. Prices are leveling off or slightly dropping, inventory is going up, but it still a sellers market.
@@tracyweilandrealtorbeekeep3957 sounds like my market too!
Traditional modern, nailed it!
Thankss!👍🤠
House turned out great... I enjoy these type videos... This is my first video. The home owner had some great ideas...
Welcome to the channel Bobby!
Please check out some of my other videos I think you’ll like them🤠👍
@@BradtheBuilder you build some really nice houses. Can I ask what state you build in?
@@bobbytaylor3177 Yes! I build in Omaha Nebraska in the surrounding areas
@@BradtheBuilder Thank You
Looking at the house from the outside, it doesn't look like it's even 1mill
Well it matters what state your in an the market is hot right now so it might be as today's value
In my market if you can find a home on several acres it will sell even if it’s a disaster!! So when you get a home of this caliber, size and expansive views it will easily demand well over $1.5+ million.
Hammer your killing me man!!🙆♂️
It's a nice house but compared to flairs $10 million dollar home you're building it seems kind of plain.
That is a beautiful house Brad, you are truly a master of your craft!! My thanks to the homeowner, and to you for allowing us to see this wonderful house!!
Thanks Texas Tom👍
You did not build that. All you do is go to the site and ask the carpenters if everything is good that’s it. Dont say you built it 🤡
You forgot the part where I snap my figures and Wall-La it’s done! 🤠👍🎺
@@BradtheBuilder 🤡🤡
great vid nice fellow to let you come back and do a tour nice house as well it has great detail the floors I love them
I’ve been blessed with lots of wonderful homeowners! 🙏👍
