Looks like Franklin’s house from GTA well done on the build🫡🫡
Thank you, I came here to say this!
I was thinking the sameeee
I was waiting for this comment. I cant be the only one who thought this
I can swear that I saw a similar house in Dead Island 2
I came in to find a comment like this!
I need this dudes skincare routine.. long hours, in the elements all day, stressed, physically tough going… and he’s glowing man!!
Weirdest comment ever! 😂
Can't beat Fresh NZ Air :)
😂
Too much praise from one man to another
Great vid and lovely house mate! Out of interest did you have to fit any upright steels in or was it just that one above the basement to support the upstairs floor for building regs? Really interesting to see how it all went together start to finish.
I'm in admiration - as someone not in construction I think people like yourself that can build their owns houses start to finish are incredible. Beautiful home from a fan in the US!
Note to self, when mowing grass on a hill with a motorized tool, do it downhill. OUCH!!!!
Hope it healed well, man! Mad respect for your work!
Yeah running over a foot with the mower sounds absolutely horrible, one of my worst nightmares actually
There’s only one way to get back up hill tho…
@@PeNGuiNZoMbiEUYA Cut the engine and push it back up the part you just mowed :)
I can only imagine the 'feeling' of knowing you built your home on a site no one else wanted but will now be the envy of everyone that passes by it. Bravo. And, Congratulations on weathering all the mini-storms to completion. It's STUNNING.
Can you imagine the feeling of being the only person you know who ran their foot over with a lawn mower? Must be equally astounding
As soon as I saw that push mower and those kids playing around it, I was already nervous!! A push mover on an incline surface is a recipe for something to go wrong. I bet he hires professionals on the new project!! @@arcadiagreen150
@@arcadiagreen150 I think I'm going to wear some safety boots next time I mow the lawn. 🤔
@@honeybunny371I always do lol
@@arcadiagreen150aaaaaAA
I'm a builder in Holland, I'm most impressed you pushed through the last months of 'almost finished' with such energy and actually saw it through to absolute completion whilst maintaining those quality levels in the garden and finishing, that takes grit. The feeling when the plastering gets done is always one of the greatest achievements, but usually less than half way to the end due to all the little details.
Subscribed and looking forward to your next build!

Iesson learned for me : spirit, persistence, consistency ... thx a lot for this video
The land nobody wants now becomes the home everybody wants.
Well Done!
Incredible job on building your home on that slope! Your hard work and persistence really paid off. It looks fantastic!
Thanks so much!
Anyone think the thumbnail looks like the house in GTA 5?
Clicked on it because of that
Definitely 😂
Epic build! You must be so proud of this accomplishment. Taking an unwanted plot of land and turning it into a beautifully crafted and landscaped homestead. Amazing!
As a fellow tradesmen I can really appreciate the efforts you put in. Your eye for detail, humbleness to admit mistakes, willingness get down and do the gritty work, integrity to go the extra mile and your patience and understanding make you stand out amongst the rest 👍 you sir are a fine builder and a 1st class boss, I would be proud to work under you! Keep it going! Cheers
Love how you showcased the native trees with the skylights. From an inconvenience to making them a feature 🙌🏾
What a beautiful home. Loved seeing this build.
When i first saw your lot, i would never have guessed you could get this incredible build, yard, fun space all on it. Absolute PERFECTION. I subscribed. Cant wait for more!!
This was such a magical video to watch. I especially loved how you gave so much thought to literally every detail, right down to multiple designated areas for your kids. Your family are very lucky to have you!! Your home is incredibly beautiful and it's clear so much love got poured into it!
Absolutely amazing. Well done to you. It's stunning.
BEAUTIFUL! Absolutely stunning 🙌🙌🙌
What an absolute masterpiece of a home. It's beautiful.
Looks like THE GTA 5 house...
this is absolutely insane. Love how it turned out, especially the kitchen!
🎉CONGRATULATIONS! What great news for your family.
Seeing how such houses are build always amazes me. Especially since i am from a part of the world where houses are built with solid bricks. It always feels like those houses won’t stand longer than a normal human lifespan.
exactly, i always remember those american nursery rhymes about three little pig with different house, here in our country we build our house with bricks and cements.....
this house is beautiful don't get me wrong, but one strong wind could have took it....they always looks like they just puzzles pieces and legos lmfao......
@@lamaidalaakapinkcrocodile7527Yea when he started putting the wooden planks up, I was like "oh he's building a shed..." 😂😂
The reason most of our houses are built this way is a mixture between the resources we have and have always had (lots of trees) and being designed to withstand earthquakes, rigid with a bit of flex is good. These homes have no trouble in wind, been a few tornadoes in the south west and the worst it does is strips some of the roofing iron off.
I so thoroughly enjoyed watching this entire process. A lot of effort went into the build as well as the filming and editing process. Thank you so much for sharing this with us
Hard work paid off. home sweet home, satisfying watching you building start to. finish
You deserve all the praise and should be proud given your prowess as a builder!
This is quite the masterpiece. Congratulations on building the family home amidst the challenges. Great work
You’re the man mate. This build looked absolutely difficult and yet you smashed it out of the park. Well done mate 🇬🇧❤️ 🇳🇿
Stunning!!!! Seeing it from start to end was amazing. thank you for sharing with us!!
Just when one task seems over, there appears more work to be done and all were accomplished with perfection! Props to you mate! Cheers.
Congrats on your new house. I - too have seen a house build of my parents. One day, I hope to be able to build my own dream house like you and my parents. The journey is mildly bittersweet but at the end, it's all worth it.
Since I’ve subscribed I have learnt the correct way to build . I look at what is being built in both Australia and the UK , and they could learn a lot from you. If I was to live in New Zealand, I would get you to build a home for me as I know that I would have peace of mind in knowing the house was done proper. Keep up the good work mate.
Cheers
Totally depends on where you live. In Germany this would likely not even be allowed. Leaving out the different building paradigms
Amazing build! Thanks for sharing! 🎉
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. This is great.
What an amazing job Josh, you have amazing skills to pull this build off. All the best for ‘24.
Thanks, you too!
Now that is a great utilization of space on a narrow and sloping site. Well done mate👍😎
Thanks 👍
Awesome! Love the skylights, definitely made use of that protected tree
that house is absolutely beautiful!!! Great Job!
I'm really hoping you got that land for an amazing price!!! nice job, I didn't even build my house, just watched others build and manage it and it was stressful!! I literally chose colours and watched.... guys like you are amazing!!
Great effort mate!!!
I am in the middle of building our family home and it’s inspiring to see this start to finish.
Top job!!
You can do it! Its such a rewarding process
Post a video of a few photos man.
Amazing. Congratulations e thank you for alowing us to watch the process.
Absolutely beautiful. I 💯 love your home and the precision work that was involved thank you for sharing. Trinidad and Tobago.
You did so good!! great job on overcoming all the initial problem you faced!!
Glad you liked it!!
Just finished 6 days / 14 hour flights over the holidays. Sitting in my den enjoying beer and stumbled on to
this video. Watched it in its entirety. Loved it !!
Much love and respect to you all in (NZ) from East Coast of Canada.
Lol i am watching from Canada too!
Simply amazing, I love what you have done. I was a finish carpenter now recycled into tabletop terrain designer and youtube creator.
Wow, what an achievement. The whole place looks amazing, incredible effort, skill and perseverance.
phenomenal, Can only thank you for filming and editing all this for our viewing pleasure. cheers from London England.
You're Welcome, watching over all the old filming was just as rewarding for me. Merry Christmas :)
I was taken by that too. This build and EVERYTHING involved was an amazing accomplishment but that you were also disciplined to shoot footage over 4 years
IMPRESSIVE ‼️🤩
Thank you for you diligence and efforts
Bravo 🥳💪💗
That looks awesome and the tiered layers to make use of the sloped yard looks great too. The only thing I'm wondering about and would be concerned about is the water running down the road and into the driveway and straight into the garage. Maybe you addressed it in another video and it looks like you're not concerned since you were washing with a hose right on the driveway but I would be concerned during a heavy long rain that the garage would flood.
Absolutely beautiful. Well done!
perfect place to live! Great Work done
im a new builder in Sydney and this vid is super useful / helpful thank you for sharing ... god bless
Glad it was helpful!
Congratulations to me it’s amazing that I just bought my first landed property few days ago , I feel so happy for myself and my accomplishments so far. I’m so happy I made good decisions about my finances that changed me forever❤️
Congratulations to you that’s a great, you need loads of cash to buy a nice house in a good environment, wow! congratulations once again 🎉
I can share something that helped me
1. Plan towards it
2. Be Frugal and minimal on spending (don’t buy why you don’t need)
3. Save money towards retirement
4. Save to invest, this is most important because it’s a proven way to get rich. Very important path to financial success
There’s a lot of investing options but my best advice is to get a professional who will guide you into a more profitable investment, that’s exactly what I did.

Well done It’s stunning !!
- East coast, USA
really nice job josh, great acheivement ,something to be very proud of
Great video. I know that down here in the south so many people including the council stay away for sloping sites due to the extra work and cost involved. Even though most of the town is built on hill sides. Great to see someone taking up the challenge. Personally I think it would be great if someone could come up with a range of designs to suite sloping sites (I know it's not that easy and there more to it) depending on soil and ground conditions and the slope. But given that so many houses are built on sloping sites and hill sides I personally think in my opinion that a range of standard plans could be a good idea
Thanks for watching - I've made some other videos on how to approach sloping sites and tips I've learnt along the way
Had a vision and saw it through.... well done mate! great video and a beautiful home!
Its been a journey with quite a few setbacks but I have loved the process so much (most of the time haha)
Great job and final home. The level of work is relentless. Most importantly you kept the optimism high. That initial grass cutting accident was a shocker.. could have been even worse
You pulled it off . It looks friggin amazing love the mini ramp!
hi, mate that was absolutely a great work, everyone dreamt of having a house of their own, it really motivates us by seeing u do it from the very beginning till the very end. oh believe me, i loved it every minutes and seconds of it, i hope u r doing well mate. i am now a subscriber of yours, love ur work, keep going. Love from Bangladesh. peace ,.,
Beautiful build mate. Looks awesome.
Thank you kindly
A man can build something so incredible from scratch, it's marvelous! Keeep going and keep inspiring!
Just came across this video. What a beautiful house and a well done job. Enjoyed watching the process.
Great! It's fantastic that the video showcases the landscaping. The final look is wonderful. I hope you enjoy it with your family.
If possible, could you please provide information on the cost of building such a project?
House and Land was under a mill, this was 4 years ago, with lots of deals and lots and lots of hours from myself :)
Impressive build !
Also always a good idea to put safety glasses on yourself and the little ones when mowing the lawn. Prevent an eye injury
Cheers
amazing build! Nice to see you have well documented from start to finish. Beautiful home.
Amazing job 🤩 the house is beautiful for you an the family to enjoy 👍🏽
How in the hell did you manage to hurt yourself like that mate? Seriously!
But loving the video!
Slipped on the hill, mower got jammed up against a tree and my foot slid under
Thats a yuck section bro! Amazing job!!
Yes it was - its deceiving how much room there was once you started clearing it and defining the boundaries - cheers for watching :)
Absolutely love this long form video. Brilliant to see it all come together. What an incredible project and a beautiful home! Brilliant work Mate!
Incredibly detailed and entertaining montage for a beautiful home!! 💯
Bro.
You’re a machine.
Well done.
That schedule is impressive. Any other team would have taken twice as long at a minimum. (With the same number of team members)
What was the build price?
Sorry just saw the price was under $1M.
Mate. You’re amazing. Wow
OUTSTANDING WORK JOSH, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!
Loved every bit of your explanation. Great resilience mate. Good job and good attitude
I wish you and your family the best what you've done so far is fantastic love to see more
Well done! You deserve it. Wishing you & your family happy living. KeepSmiling 😊🌺
Inspirational stuff. This was well designed, planned, organised and constructed.
Wowww! Incredible vlog! Well done!
Wow, masterpiece!👏👏👏 God bless.
This is beautiful, I've been looking over tons of shipping containers builds & they are all too small. This is a winner! Well done!
Just beautiful!
Absolutely stunning!! Well done mate
It looks beautiful! Love it!❤❤❤
Fantastic job, well done on & enjoy your new home
Like this construction if beautiful hpuse and the medieval style music.... so much fun watching this video
Phenomonal, congratulations!
Very nice walkthrough, I pretty much like the processes specially the transition from design to actual site work. The bits and details also are amazing. I appreciate how much work has been put up to the very completion of your house let alone the effort to document the whole project!
Congratulation you set a goal & you accomplished it, with determination & hard work. You should be very proud.
Congratulations on an amazing job. The house is really beautiful and I must say that I was impressed by the precautionary measures you've taken with the inclusion of nets for the roofers safety. Cheers!
I was expecting a pool but the mini ramp is cool too. Great work!
This is probably one of the best builds I've ever seen on TH-cam, well done Josh 👏
That house is incredible, i hope it will be a great memory for you
As it is for me watching the house take shape
This is so exciting. Happy for you guys 😊
JESUS, i thought that censoring and blurring out when u were mowing was just a skit, but then transitions into the bloody hospital my stomach tangled itself... OOF...
Thats one way to start building your dream home; by mowing over your foot XD
Great results in the end though! You are as resiliant as can be!
Beautiful home Josh. Came for just a sneak peek but ended up with watching the whole thing. I wish all the best for you and your family!
Stunning!
absolutely gorgeous house! well done. You have skills for sure
This video flies by even though its almost an hour long. Great job making it interesting.
Wow! I bet people were beating themselves up after writing off this property to seeing what a stunning house you made! So enjoyable to watch!
