For those who have never built a house, it's hard to beat that feeling when you finally walk through the finished product. Starting with the day you cleared and leveled the lot till then. There are days when you say "man, I have surely bit off more than I can chew here..." But then after an indescribable amount of work and worry, it's done. Great job, EC.
Sure I had this feeling when I designed and watched my house being built by contractor. About 1070 squared meters which is almost 12000 sq. ft. costs me around $ 800,000 in 2004 and still living in
But of course; the amount of work was described in detail. Beautifully crafted home Scott. The solid sound of the door latches, hardwood floors, stair railings, and overall amazing attention to every detail.
The craftmanship, detail and dedication that was incorporated into this beautiful home isn't a bargain at $610k. IT'S A STEAL!!!!!! Congratulations Scott, Nate and team for a truly educational voyage - from inception to completion.
Thats not just a home, its a work of art. Functional art that will be there for countless years. Giving a family or multiple families a safe place to fill with memories. You have built much much more than a house. Youve built a home.
Absolutely! The love, dedication, kids and Grandkids coming over to play. Top quality stuff with the best guys on the job. Wouldn't it be a great gesture if the new homeowner invited them back for dinner after they've settled in. 😍
Being able to sleep at night knowing all of this craftsmanship and attention to detail went into my home would be well worth buying this house at 600k and even more. What an amazing thing for the family who bought it.
Dear Master Scott, I watched all your 150 episodes taking notes for the important issues you explained, many thanks, we have been building a traditional Turkish wooden frame house for me in Turkey now, the contractor didn't think it was needed an osb over the housewrap but a direct siding would be enough, when I watch your episode which was about the osb over housewrap I added it for my house, I learnt from you that it will be much stronger during an earthquake and an extra layer to prevent rainwater, thank you again, I learnt much and all things needed.
The most captivating build series, if not my most favourite TH-cam content ever. It's been a joy to watch the house go up, my Dad was a builder over here in the UK and I found this so interesting. What an incredible house, I'd love to live there. Congratulations to the whole EC Tema.
The whole series was eye opening but the parts that really got me were the stair railings and the poured concrete. Simply amazing the attention to details. I even learned something about painting and sheetrock. If the event I get work done or build a house, I will review segments of this series to make sure it is done properly. The story about the dueling blacksmiths is now part of my Thanksgiving tradition. Thank you...$610K is a steal!!
If only there was a way to duplicate this level of dedication and care for every house. They are throwing together matchstick houses with pre-warped siding on every bare piece of land in my town and selling them for 2x what I paid four years ago. Half the size of my current home, twice the price, and 1/8th the craftsmanship!
@@darrinpennington very true. But it still doesn't explain the outrageous quality-cost ratio that a lot of places have right now. It's not. Hard to take a few extra seconds here and there to make sure it's done right and have some pride in your work. But most contractors don't care and just want to make the money as fast as possible
Uhhh everybody in every and any industry wants to make money as fast as possible. You’re telling me your business or company that you work for or run takes as long as possible to “do it right”? Spending the most and taking the longest doesn’t equal more profit and has put many contractors and companies out of business sadly. Quality and perfection went away when people stopped being willing to pay for it, I don’t like it but it’s the world we live in. Washers/dryer/car/stoves/microwaves all don’t last much more than 5years not because they can’t make them better. Because quality isn’t profitable
@@dustina6261 it's about finding a balance. I'm a Shingler and in my trade it sure as hell is about getting things done as fast as possible. But if your quality gets sacrificed for speed then it can cause major problems and ends up costing you in the long run. Edited to add: We're talking about big time builders charging premium prices for houses that most people are going to spend the rest of their life paying off but only have a 5 year warranty because they're built by the cheapest sub contractors that can only make a living if they make that sacrifice on quality and walk away before it's a problem.
I’ve been in residential construction my whole life and I’m not alone in saying this has been the best, most gratifying and educational video series in that genre. Scott, Nate, and all the other craftsmen have opened their hearts,, minds and lives up to so many who tuned in for every video with delightful anticipation on what we were going to learn. I’ll miss this house that I’ve watched for almost 2 years. I certainly hope there is much more to come from two men that really understand craftsmanship like you two do! Thank you for “keeping up the good work”!
$610,000. is definitely a bargain! The quality and craftsmanship on this new house is almost non existent in today's world. Kudos to you and Nate, and all of your amazing sub contractors on a job very well done!
Scott, Nate, this is the culminations of a heck of a journey, one that has been wonderful to be a part of. I have been watching from the start and I have to say that your content and plan for content was without equal and remains some of the best videography and professional content (yes, professional) available on TH-cam. Thank you for everything, now I think a lot of us are excited to see what is next for Essential Craftsman.
It is difficult for me to properly express my gratitude for this series. As a young builder having recently started my own construction company, this series and this channel have been invaluable to my career. Additionally, I have picked up several life lessons along the way and I feel a warm familial connection towards Scott and Nate. I believe that this series is a landmark in the field of construction and professional education. Thank you, Scott and Nate, from the bottom of my heart. "The only things you take with you when you leave the Earth are the things you learned during your time here, and the only things you leave behind are the things you teach."
Scott and Nate, you can both be proud of a excellent product in both the house and more importantly the video story. This video record is of the highest order with the craftsmanship of product and the educational content that is given. As a builder in the SW I constantly refer people to this series. Taylord Designs llc
Wow, I don't think I've ever been in a house (any any building) where all of the reveals around the doors are that close to perfect. I hadn't really thought about how important using nice doorknobs are, but it makes perfect sense. This series inspired me to buy a rundown house after I graduated college and completely gut it to remodel. Even though this was a new build, I still used a lot of the stuff you've covered in these videos to help. You guys are definitely moving faster than me though, I don't even have the upstairs done yet. Thanks!
To everyone at Essential Craftsman, thank you for your time and effort in bringing us such excellent content. It has been a pleasure watching every minute. I appreciate your talents and professionalism beyond words. You exude integrity and humility in your actions and deeds, much needed attributes in todays world. I am forever a fan and admirer. Looking forward to the future and wishing you all the very best!
Scott, Nate, and the rest of the EC crew thank you so much for this series. It was an absolute pleasure to watch. I learned an incredible amount from this. The dedication to the craft, both on the build side and the video editing side, are unmatched. I don't know that there is anywhere else in existence that you can get such a full, thorough, and in depth look at a build process from end to end; certainly not for a project this size. It was a quite a treat being on this journey with you guys. What a steal of a deal at $610k! That is a home that any family can love, grow up in, create memories in, and just be really happy in.
How many of you watching that had the lyrics to "House of the Rising Sun" in their heads? This has been both unique and entertaining/interesting series! Often even guys like me who are in the building sector do not realize how much separates the "It'll do" from "That's the best I can do" ...... something evident throughout the series! I realize the risk you took making this house the way you did and I am glad it came off for you! Well done all of you! And Thank You!
Really exceptional work. If only all new houses were built with this level of care and attention to detail! Top quality craftsmanship and materials, built to last 300 years. The buyer is getting an absolute steal at that price. I'm a little jealous of them!
I just started watching this series a week ago and I'm just to the part where you are about to pour the footings, thank you sooooooo much for doing this series you are truly the Bob Villa of our generation. I used to watch This Old House with my father as he taught himself then me how to be self sufficient and to work with not only my hands, but my brain as well. Your confidence, "bedside manner", humility, knowledge, skill, and wisdom is greatly needed in the world today. So thank you, and thank you Nate! Finishing your epic storage project in Arizona then moving your family to Oregon could not have been easy but you incredible gift for capturing and editing the gold your father puts out is nothing less than extraordinary. I have not yet watched this episode but I wanted to comment on something recent as I have no idea if you get notifications on 2,3,& 4 year old videos. Congratulations on getting to the finish line boys, you did it! God bless from Florida.
Thank you from Nova Scotia, Canada. I discovered your channel while getting chemotherapy in hospital for brain cancer in July of 2019.. I've looked forward to and watched all of the spec house videos, plus the EC2 videos. They were all well made and I look forward to your future videos.
Absolutely fantastic, I've followed every single video of this build like so many people, and I feel slightly emotional that it's done, and boy is it done! What an incredible gift you have given to thousands of people by creating and sharing this build series, it's absolutely outstanding. Thank you so much for it. Congratulations on the sale, congratulations to the lucky buyer! Scott and Nate, if you ever fancy coming hunting in Scotland, get in touch! All the very best. Josh.
Scott, what a huge undertaking you and Nate took to not only build but film every step (and edit etc) this amazing house of quality. I'm sure whoever buys it not only can see the videos and be assured that what they see is what they get but will be very satisfied with their new HOME. Well done guys, I'm extremely impressed with your skills. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Hard to believe that I started watching the site work and retaining wall go in…liked the concept of a start to finish house build…became a modest Patreon supporter…anticipated episode after episode and…now this project is done. Thank you…you built a great house that should become someone’s fine home…you….”keep up the good work.” 👍👍👍
I've been watching this for, well quite literally years. It's been fantastic to watch. Well done Scot, Nate and the rest of your support network. Fabulous is the only word I can offer!
Dear EC Team, thanks much for the final tour. Mom got COVID and we had to miss the open house which I hated! So this was a gift to a Dixonville gal who missed what she missed. Happy almost spring.
With nearly 10 yeras worth of experience from the swedish construction business (mainly plumbing), this series have been very interesting to see! Some of the methods you use in America are the same over here. But A LOT is very different here. I've been watching this series since the beginning and I must say - it has been an absolute pleasure. I've enjoyed every single episode and it's a real shame (for me that is) that it has finally come to an end. For me, I feel like it's the end of an era if you like. But on the other side I'm happy for you guys that you're finally done. What a house! I would be proud of living there and I know you guys are proud as well. You should be. The finished product shows a lot of craftsmanship and professionalism. I'm sending some standing ovations all the way from Malmoe, Sweden! - and keep up the good work.
My previous employer called the front door lock the handshake of the house. My job is installing decorative hardware and I've installed actual tons of Emtek products in the last 25 years. I put some on today. It's very good hardware. Fantastic they provided the hardware which is EXPEnsive times every door and cabinet for those that don't know. Your video reveals that you did an excellent job installing the hardware, I could go on. Super job on the house and great series!. Take a bow!
From a carpenter of 40 plus years watching from Australia you chose well Mark ! From what I've seen the house will be dripping in quality just like the man who built it. In this day and age in construction the Scott's of this world are becoming quite rare. You've a quality home from a quality man. TH-cam adds a different spin on everything but.....the man cares. All the best to you and your family Mark.....
I have watched almost the entire series and I’ve seen the meticulous essential craftsmanship that has gone into this very very well-built home. I commend you for the in-depth look you have given us into your methods on this project. My very crude evaluation is that the house is worth $1.2 M. Whoever purchased that house for 610 did get a bargain because there’s no home in that region which is built as well as that one what does much attention to detail care and thoughtfulness. I am a custom home builder I definitely appreciate you having spent time crafting that whole in-depth series.
It's been an absolute pleasure watching this series. I was both entertained and schooled. Thank you for allowing us an inside look at what it takes to build a house.
Beautiful home you all did and amazing job. I am a new contractor just getting started for myself. Really learned a lot from this build series. I have 20 years experience but brand new working for myself. Thank you looking forward to what’s ahead
Can’t believe this series is over. I remember the first videos. Nate you’ve done such a good job with your videography and editing. 141 episodes is a crazy accomplishment and that doesn’t even consider all the non-house videos along the way and before. Looking forward to the next phase of the channel!
Someone is going to be mighty happy. You should include the videos of the construction that would be great. I wish you could have been here 25 years ago when we built our house. Such beautiful work.
I started building my own home about the same time you started posting videos on yours. I just finished last week. You gave me lots of great ideas. I loved all your videos. Great work!
Such a pleasure. Thank you very much. Quite a journey. For the selling price, someone got everything and much more than what they paid for. They're going to love it. Thanks again. I've loved every episode of this. 👍
When I first saw your channel I was in the army and planning on becoming a tradesman. I can say that the houses I build today are built with lessons from this video series. I hope that you keep the lessons coming for those of us who are still learning thank you.
I have enjoyed your series on spec house , reminded me of my life as a custom builder. I have been retired for 15 years , and did furniture as my retirement vocation , but seeing this series has been very enjoyable to remember how houses were built from start to finish , keep up the good work , Peter
I’ve watched every video on this house, some more than once. I’d like to say thank you for including us on every step, including the double built stairs!! It’s been amazing to watch. Thank you
Very nice house that was built with passion. The most beautiful there is the surrounding area I wish if I could live in at least for one or two months especially during spring time. I guess it is going to be legendary
Did a good job brother. I like it. It was fun to see you at it the last year+. I moved just below you and remodeled my house in Cali while I saw it come together. God bless you, your family/friends and all the viewers who've gone with you on this journey.
This series has absolutely awesome. Ranks right at the top with Larry Haun. Congratulations on finishing this house, your craftsmanship has made it a home.
Wonderful job! I was hoping this house would sell for a million plus, simply because you all deserved it! Great work! Thank you for the years of content
I started watching the channel back right before you started on the spec house. It's been an awesome journey, thanks for bringing us along on it. And thanks to Nate for great video recording and editing. It's a testament to the quality of not only the workmanship of the house but the videos as well, to keep everyone coming back. 141 episodes is quite a lot of work, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Very well done, Scott. I’ve watched all the Spec House videos (well, most all) and this video tour showed the house very well. While watching, I always had a sense of where I was in the house. I really appreciated your description of the front door and lock set. I’ve been saying similar things about quality and craftsmanship for years. Lastly, my favorite part of the house is the handrail on the winders. I remember the episode showing your effort and craftsmanship on that handrail - all those angles and dimensions are amazing. Thanks, always, Scott and Nate and your family for all your hard work with EC. You are providing a valuable resource that, truly, is invaluable. Best, Greg
Scott and Nate, this must be one chest swelling proud moment for you guys. I've been a view for some time and watched this build from day one. The quality and care you put into this is no doubt carried through all of your work. Great timing on selling too, top of the market.
I'm a little sad to see the end of a series I've enjoyed for so long but glad that it turned out as beautifully as it did... Currency conversion and US property prices are mind boggling. $610k (converted to about 10 million South African Rand) would get you an ultra-premium house in an elite neighborhood or a castle outside a main city
Comparatively. $610K won't get you much of anything in greater New York, Boston or much of coastal California. You'd be lucky to get a house built in 1965 that needs all kinds of repair for that kind of money. I was thinking that the new homeowners got such a crazy bargain, but I've never been to that part of rural Oregon, so maybe it is right on.
It looks amazing, you have done an outstanding job. I personally am grateful you took the brave decision to build a house from scratch on a challenging site and film it all in such detail. The quality of the videos you published are up the with the standard of the house. I also really enjoyed the human dimension you presented throughout with the accolades of experts you brought in and your own personable delivery. And you made very complex concrete work look very easy!
amazing series. I have learned so much. It is one thing to buy a house and get excited by the ambience, the new fixtures etc... it is another thing to watch a house being built. To see all the logistics involved, the intricate parts of the structure. I learned what a king stud is and its purpose, what a cripple stud is and where it is used and how weight is transferred from the roof to the foundation. I learned about the pros and cons of crawl spaces, the importance of space in the crawl space, the importance of 'square', how to tie a string, and finally, the best part of the entire series for me was listening to the plumber and the effort it takes to keep water away from the structure . Amazing work EC.... amazing work.
Congratulations on a job well done and a job done well! The documentation of every step of this house more than justifies the price point. This video series will be invaluable to the lucky homeowner.
Beautiful!! Your experience and care for what you do shines through in the quality craftsmanship of the house (soon to be a home). Sharing your knowledge and work ethic is a gift to many of us who follow your channels. Thank you Scott and Nate. Keep up the good work.
The sound those doors are making is enough to tell anyone who doesn't know the history of this house about the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into it...
For those who have never built a house, it's hard to beat that feeling when you finally walk through the finished product. Starting with the day you cleared and leveled the lot till then. There are days when you say "man, I have surely bit off more than I can chew here..." But then after an indescribable amount of work and worry, it's done. Great job, EC.
Here here!!!
Dilly Dilly!!!
Sure I had this feeling when I designed and watched my house being built by contractor. About 1070 squared meters which is almost 12000 sq. ft. costs me around $ 800,000 in 2004 and still living in
But of course; the amount of work was described in detail. Beautifully crafted home Scott. The solid sound of the door latches, hardwood floors, stair railings, and overall amazing attention to every detail.
The craftmanship, detail and dedication that was incorporated into this beautiful home isn't a bargain at $610k. IT'S A STEAL!!!!!! Congratulations Scott, Nate and team for a truly educational voyage - from inception to completion.
land must still be pretty cheap there!
@@jeremygoodmurphy is Oregon, of course it is
I was thinking this would go for like $900,000 to a $1,000,000 for sure
It does in cali,or the north east.All the boys brought their A game on this build.
Cheers to great craftsmanship!
I'd love buying a home that was built with this level of documented and exponential quality! Bargain is an understatement! Incredible project Scott!
Thats not just a home, its a work of art. Functional art that will be there for countless years. Giving a family or multiple families a safe place to fill with memories.
You have built much much more than a house. Youve built a home.
Well the lucky new owner can look back and watch their home being planned, built and finished all on video. Good job fellas, nice home.
Absolutely! The love, dedication, kids and Grandkids coming over to play. Top quality stuff with the best guys on the job.
Wouldn't it be a great gesture if the new homeowner invited them back for dinner after they've settled in. 😍
House*
Being able to sleep at night knowing all of this craftsmanship and attention to detail went into my home would be well worth buying this house at 600k and even more. What an amazing thing for the family who bought it.
This series alone has counterbalanced a 1,000 trashy TH-cam channels. Thanks EC and Nate. Y'all are an inspiration and a joy to watch.

Scott and Nate, if you ever fancy coming hunting in Scotland, get in touch!
All the very best.
Josh.
Scott, what a huge undertaking you and Nate took to not only build but film every step (and edit etc) this amazing house of quality.
I'm sure whoever buys it not only can see the videos and be assured that what they see is what they get but will be very satisfied with their new HOME.
Well done guys, I'm extremely impressed with your skills.

A very Nice Job Scott and Nate nice quality and craftsmanship keep up the good work
I found this series from looking up plumbing videos as an apprentice plumber and ended up watching the whole thing. Great job EC! Beautiful work
Hard to believe that I started watching the site work and retaining wall go in…liked the concept of a start to finish house build…became a modest Patreon supporter…anticipated episode after episode and…now this project is done. Thank you…you built a great house that should become someone’s fine home…you….”keep up the good work.” 👍👍👍
Absolutely have been waiting. Thanks for taking us all along on this journey.
I've been watching this for, well quite literally years. It's been fantastic to watch. Well done Scot, Nate and the rest of your support network. Fabulous is the only word I can offer!
A real work of craftsmanship 👍 and something to be proud of. 👏
Who in the world couldn't wish you all of the best fortune and happiness? Great job on this project! 👍🏽
Dear EC Team, thanks much for the final tour. Mom got COVID and we had to miss the open house which I hated! So this was a gift to a Dixonville gal who missed what she missed. Happy almost spring.
I hope I'm able to create something this epic with my son(s) one day. You guys will remember this for a lifetime.
Thank you and everyone involved with the making of this series.
With nearly 10 yeras worth of experience from the swedish construction business (mainly plumbing), this series have been very interesting to see! Some of the methods you use in America are the same over here. But A LOT is very different here.
I've been watching this series since the beginning and I must say - it has been an absolute pleasure. I've enjoyed every single episode and it's a real shame (for me that is) that it has finally come to an end. For me, I feel like it's the end of an era if you like. But on the other side I'm happy for you guys that you're finally done. What a house! I would be proud of living there and I know you guys are proud as well. You should be. The finished product shows a lot of craftsmanship and professionalism.
I'm sending some standing ovations all the way from Malmoe, Sweden!
- and keep up the good work.
My previous employer called the front door lock the handshake of the house. My job is installing decorative hardware and I've installed actual tons of Emtek products in the last 25 years. I put some on today. It's very good hardware. Fantastic they provided the hardware which is EXPEnsive times every door and cabinet for those that don't know. Your video reveals that you did an excellent job installing the hardware, I could go on. Super job on the house and great series!. Take a bow!
Congrats on the final build and sell. The new owners will love it 🤗
Beautiful, love this series. Amazing that this kind of info is up for free in the world. Can't tell you how much I appreciate this.
From a carpenter of 40 plus years watching from Australia you chose well Mark ! From what I've seen the house will be dripping in quality just like the man who built it. In this day and age in construction the Scott's of this world are becoming quite rare. You've a quality home from a quality man.
TH-cam adds a different spin on everything but.....the man cares.
All the best to you and your family Mark.....
Thank you Wayne.
I have watched almost the entire series and I’ve seen the meticulous essential craftsmanship that has gone into this very very well-built home. I commend you for the in-depth look you have given us into your methods on this project.
My very crude evaluation is that the house is worth $1.2 M. Whoever purchased that house for 610 did get a bargain because there’s no home in that region which is built as well as that one what does much attention to detail care and thoughtfulness.
I am a custom home builder I definitely appreciate you having spent time crafting that whole in-depth series.
It's been an absolute pleasure watching this series. I was both entertained and schooled. Thank you for allowing us an inside look at what it takes to build a house.
Beautiful home you all did and amazing job. I am a new contractor just getting started for myself. Really learned a lot from this build series. I have 20 years experience but brand new working for myself. Thank you looking forward to what’s ahead
Can’t believe this series is over. I remember the first videos. Nate you’ve done such a good job with your videography and editing. 141 episodes is a crazy accomplishment and that doesn’t even consider all the non-house videos along the way and before. Looking forward to the next phase of the channel!
I certainly miss this series. I’m thankful I found it and have been enjoying your other content too! Keep up the good work!
Someone is going to be mighty happy. You should include the videos of the construction that would be great. I wish you could have been here 25 years ago when we built our house. Such beautiful work.
I started building my own home about the same time you started posting videos on yours. I just finished last week. You gave me lots of great ideas. I loved all your videos. Great work!
Utterly phenomenal video series following the build of a truly gorgeous home. Kudos to all involved and thank you for the inspiration!
Such a pleasure. Thank you very much. Quite a journey.
For the selling price, someone got everything and much more than what they paid for. They're going to love it.
Thanks again. I've loved every episode of this. 👍
When I first saw your channel I was in the army and planning on becoming a tradesman. I can say that the houses I build today are built with lessons from this video series. I hope that you keep the lessons coming for those of us who are still learning thank you.
If I bought this house - I'd feel like I'd just won the lottery. Just great watching all of these construction videos!!
At that price, you'd need to win the lottery.
Great job! Loved being part of this journey!
Watched every single episode and have recommended the series to many of my colleagues. Thank you!
I think this video series, and the documentation and peace of mind it provides to the buyer, easily adds $100k-$200k in value. Job well done!
Probably the best homebuilding series I've seen. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I have enjoyed your series on spec house , reminded me of my life as a custom builder. I have been retired for 15 years , and did furniture as my retirement vocation , but seeing this series has been very enjoyable to remember how houses were built from start to finish , keep up the good work , Peter
Love the sound of the doors opening and closing. Solid, safe, comforting sound of a place that will house its family for a long, long time.
I hope the owner of that house can feel how much love and care was put into it. What a cool opportunity.
If only this property was in my neck of the woods. Great work and an amazing documentary! Words cannot express the value of this journey.
Brilliant. Very nice. A modern house (Essential) with the character of an old house (Craftsman). Love the series. Learn a lot from all your videos.
Been watching since the very beginning of this build, and it's surreal seeing it completely finished and sold
I’ve watched every video on this house, some more than once. I’d like to say thank you for including us on every step, including the double built stairs!! It’s been amazing to watch. Thank you
What a gorgeous house! I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Thanks for teaching me so so much.
Nearly five years! What a journey. So glad you did this.
Very nice house that was built with passion. The most beautiful there is the surrounding area I wish if I could live in at least for one or two months especially during spring time. I guess it is going to be legendary
Did a good job brother. I like it. It was fun to see you at it the last year+. I moved just below you and remodeled my house in Cali while I saw it come together. God bless you, your family/friends and all the viewers who've gone with you on this journey.
This series has absolutely awesome. Ranks right at the top with Larry Haun. Congratulations on finishing this house, your craftsmanship has made it a home.
Wonderful job! I was hoping this house would sell for a million plus, simply because you all deserved it! Great work! Thank you for the years of content
Congrats on coming to an end to your hard work and thank you for taking us along on your journey.
I started watching the channel back right before you started on the spec house. It's been an awesome journey, thanks for bringing us along on it. And thanks to Nate for great video recording and editing.
It's a testament to the quality of not only the workmanship of the house but the videos as well, to keep everyone coming back. 141 episodes is quite a lot of work, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Very well done, Scott. I’ve watched all the Spec House videos (well, most all) and this video tour showed the house very well. While watching, I always had a sense of where I was in the house.
I really appreciated your description of the front door and lock set. I’ve been saying similar things about quality and craftsmanship for years.
Lastly, my favorite part of the house is the handrail on the winders. I remember the episode showing your effort and craftsmanship on that handrail - all those angles and dimensions are amazing.
Thanks, always, Scott and Nate and your family for all your hard work with EC. You are providing a valuable resource that, truly, is invaluable.
Best,
Greg
Scott and Nate, this must be one chest swelling proud moment for you guys.
I've been a view for some time and watched this build from day one.
The quality and care you put into this is no doubt carried through all of your work.
Great timing on selling too, top of the market.
Thanks for a great series. If nothing else, this series introduced us to Phil Rokus, instant internet legend!
Been filling this build since the beginning. Many thanks for providing this content, it was outstanding!
Scott and Nate, and all the great subs, you gave us a wonderful journey through the construction of this beautiful home. Thank you so very much.
I'm a little sad to see the end of a series I've enjoyed for so long but glad that it turned out as beautifully as it did... Currency conversion and US property prices are mind boggling. $610k (converted to about 10 million South African Rand) would get you an ultra-premium house in an elite neighborhood or a castle outside a main city
Comparatively. $610K won't get you much of anything in greater New York, Boston or much of coastal California. You'd be lucky to get a house built in 1965 that needs all kinds of repair for that kind of money. I was thinking that the new homeowners got such a crazy bargain, but I've never been to that part of rural Oregon, so maybe it is right on.
@@fprintf You can get a shed in London
It looks amazing, you have done an outstanding job. I personally am grateful you took the brave decision to build a house from scratch on a challenging site and film it all in such detail. The quality of the videos you published are up the with the standard of the house. I also really enjoyed the human dimension you presented throughout with the accolades of experts you brought in and your own personable delivery. And you made very complex concrete work look very easy!
amazing series. I have learned so much. It is one thing to buy a house and get excited by the ambience, the new fixtures etc... it is another thing to watch a house being built. To see all the logistics involved, the intricate parts of the structure. I learned what a king stud is and its purpose, what a cripple stud is and where it is used and how weight is transferred from the roof to the foundation. I learned about the pros and cons of crawl spaces, the importance of space in the crawl space, the importance of 'square', how to tie a string, and finally, the best part of the entire series for me was listening to the plumber and the effort it takes to keep water away from the structure . Amazing work EC.... amazing work.
Congratulations on a job well done and a job done well! The documentation of every step of this house more than justifies the price point. This video series will be invaluable to the lucky homeowner.
Beautiful!! Your experience and care for what you do shines through in the quality craftsmanship of the house (soon to be a home). Sharing your knowledge and work ethic is a gift to many of us who follow your channels. Thank you Scott and Nate. Keep up the good work.
The sound those doors are making is enough to tell anyone who doesn't know the history of this house about the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into it...
Beautiful. What a fun journey this had been over the last few years. Thanks so much!
What a brilliant house. I have loved watching the process and the thought out into choices of contractors and materials used.
I am sad that this series is over! Keep up the good work!
As the housing market has seen several dramatic swings up and down over time, you were fortunate, Nate, to finish and sell in a still rising market.
End of an era it seems. I have watched every one of this series and loved it. Looking forward to your next project.
