im so glad you're able to build your own home. as a builder, that feeling of being able to make your own choices and incorporate everything you know is so awesome
Honestly, the whole tear down was what Matt should have started with rather than go into it with remodel in mind. The problem is a standard remodel is you never know what you'll find until it's exposed. So a bit of dry rot here, and there, the house is out of square, out of level, out of plumb....that stuff cost a lot of money and time to correct since you're building new with another house in the way. Driving in nails only take a few seconds, pulling nails and studs back out by hand...yeah it'll take more than a few seconds it took to put it up. Building new, especially if you know what you're doing, there's a cap to how much you actually spend to correct all the issues related to infrastructure. So yeah over budget, but at the same time, you'll be so much closer to what you wanted than if you were to try and reuse the old framing. If you want to take the old framing and push it to what you want, there's no real limit to how much that can balloon up to.
@@WallStreetBeggar I would agree BUT it was clear from the outset the true condition of the house. It could have be remodeled but not up to his standard to become his own house. Once it became his future house that was coming down., If it was a remodel to flip it could have been done.

@@ColHunterGathers I quick home inspection would have told the true condition of the house. A quick discussion with a real estate agent would have given him the value of new vs remodel. It would have been an easy decision to tear it down. I could see that just from the design and condition here.
Matt, thanks for showing us your build. Very few builders would show their work as you do. I think they are worried of being critiqued and sued if something was done wrong. For the haters and complainers, I don't see your videos on youtube.
I’m so happy for you!!! This is awesome! After building so many amazing houses over the years finally you get to build your own! Well deserved my friend! God bless!
Matt, I am so excited for you and the family. We started building an addition to our home in early November that was supposed to be a little over 500 square feet. The architect designed the exact way I told him. When we started, we soon realize the design wasn't going to work. I then redesigned the project to 1172 square feet. I'm being the general contractor, and I'm having a blast. Like you, I'm so excited doing our addition. May the LORD bless you greatly as your project comes together. May HE A give you wisdom when you need it as this project continues on. "Walk with the KING and be a blessing!"
Oh Matt, I'm geeking out with you on this series! I can see the excitement on your face. I used the Tremco acoustical sealant in same way on my home. Steve's details a few years ago drove many of my design details too! 👍
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey Matt. Its been a lot of fun and I've learned a lot as well. You channel continues to be a great resource for those of us in the trades.
insulated floors: cool idea but I live in Texas as well and I'm so thankful that I laid marble down directly on the concrete floor because I swear it literally cools the house down if not just my body walking barefoot around the house. Fortunately, my slab was piered before hand so no breaks since then, but in Texas, you WANT cold floors. lol.
Congratulations! Happy you get to build your own dream place! Thanks for making these videos! I will be starting my custom home build next year and I will be documenting it! Learned lots from you!
Thank you Matt for bring into the light about building our home , we going to inbark in this venture, in cathedral city California, I would love to invite you to come see our progress once we start going .
If it hasnt been mentioned I'd love to see the build budget and actual costs as you go along . All of these "geeked" out items gotta cost a pretty penny. Thanks
That would be interesting though he most likely has unrealistically low costs. He must have "at cost" deals on all materials and probably some of the labor.
Matt, love your channel! Another You Tuber like yourself, Cole The Cornstar, a farmer like myself, is going to work on an awesome farm house built in 1919. It has the great woodwork, tall ceilings, solid foundation, just a great once in a lifetime project. However I think he really needs someone like you to get great advice.
Enjoyed the video Matt. Framing looks great. Surly it will qualify as passive construction. I'm excited to see this come together too. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos. Y'all take care and God bless.
Matt got all these suppliers to "sponsor" his vlog and now it's the rebuild series! Good job now let's get more detailed walk with the framers electricians and plumbers. Get her done...
Yeah look at all the product placement. But i'm sure he picks out the suppliers that he works with. And it's a nice test to see how things work and hold up in the future. I guess it's win-win.
Can't sell it anymore because he went way over budget, so he decided to make it his own house. Now he's using his sponsor and youtube money to pay for his own house. Genius.
Awesome details. especially those bottom seals and the floor build. Steve's ideas are GOLD! Cool choice with the LVL 2x4s 16". Not what I would have guessed, but it makes perfect sense as a part of the whole system.
Thanks Matt. Good luck with your Passive House goal! The detail of how to add an overhang to a roof/wall assembly that is blanketed in rigid insulation has me perplexed. Hope you show that detail when you get there.
Sweet framing. So excited for you man, you deserve the joy. Great meeting you today at BEC, I’m proudly wearing the BUILD hat around town. Look forward to building my dream house with you at Passive House level. Thanks for all your contributions to the built environment.
I really like the series. The double bottom plate detail is nothing new in the commercial framing world. Schools have used that detail for the last 20 years that I know of. Well in California at least. But glad to see someone in the residential world bringing in some of the standard practices from the big boys world
I remembered watching this one when it was first released but had to re looking up. I am starting to plan out little detached workshop and am collecting info for the build. In this case I was mainly looking for the sill detail.
Insulation on the slab is a great idea, i did something smaller scale in my kitchen and you can feel difference you can to room next door which is slab but hasn't had the insulation yet so is 2" lower, instant cold when you step on the floor next door.
Enjoyed this video very much because you showed us construction ideas at work, your travelling videos not so much. Would like to see more detail on the building! thanks
Congrats on your new house build, I will as well be building a new house for my family and I at the end of the year if time allows me lol I built my house back in 2006 but it’s basically just above code, I’m more experienced now and new technologies so I will be kinda testing some of building techniques not overboard cause we don’t plan to stay a long time in it it’s not the our dream location, always enjoy your vids 👍🏽
Hello Matt, I noticed all your interior stud wall sill plates are stressed by the rain water on concrete, theres a new way to keep all the interior sill plates dry always !! check out the Teksill vented sill plate , it raised your stud walls by 3/4 inch and keeps them dry always !!
I mean, sure, if you want to start fresh and have the money/sponsors to do it, but then start fresh and design a 2020 house, as good and sexy and awesome as all the other incredible houses you have been building. Why build basically the same old house and be limited by the old 70s architecture? Especially this being the very first house you are building for yourself. Make it personal! Your very own! I know if you just had an empty lot to start fresh you would not have designed the house like this. no way. this is heart breaking!
Darn! When he started this remodel I was hoping for a real breakdown like he said in the first video. Now with a complete tear down and LVL lumber (bonus) will probably never get that breakdown. Really wanted to see that old staircase demoed and re-framed. Great videos though learning a lot thanks
I’d love to hear him discuss this (and maybe he has) but he may have saved that header and wall because depending on your local zoning and permit laws, what he’s doing here may technically qualify as a remodel if he preserves one wall from original structure, as opposed to new build. (Even though from a practical standpoint it is a new build.)
Call CRsolar in Texas if your looking for solar over 12 years installing.... Matt like tons of your ideas.. wonder will that plywood LBL studs warp if they are wet to many days during building - of course I suppose most people are using laminate beams and must be ok??
Matt, I want to say I really enjoy your videos and seeing you in them, In my opinion, this is the new "This Old House". Don't be surprised when PBS gives you a call for you to primire on their network. I can see it happening Matt, and remember, you heard it from me first. :-) Have a safe and happy weekend!!! :-) P.S. It's going to happen Matt, it's just a matter of time :-)
@@Zamicol You may be thinking of XPS (Type 4 or 'rigid' insulation) or foil-faced polyiso. 2" of EPS has a perm rating of 1 to 1.25 so isn't a great vapor barrier. Matt may need one based on his local conditions to deal with the anticipated vapor drive, but it may/may not be necessary.
Love the video's and incredible science behind the build. Starting to plan a new build, not quite a passive home but trying to incorporate some of the great science I have seen on your videos. Looking for recommendations for architects and HVAC designers in the Houston areas. Keep sending us these great videos. Thanks Matt.
Hey Matt love your videos. Hope you continue to show your house until completion. Your OSB wood what kind are they? Aren't you preoccupied with offgasing? What is your take on it. Keep it up brother.
Great series for the passive house built! I hope you can give us more details on your HVAC set up and later if you can show us the HERS rating for that passive cert near the final built. I'm planning on building a passive home this year too.
For your floating floor system on the first floor don't you need a vapor barrier? You're in Texas but I'm in Wisconsin and there's usually moisture coming out from the ground threw the concrete. I've always been told you need a vapor barrier. Why did you choose an inch and a half insulation? Why do you need two layers of OSB on top of the foam ? what would your R-value be from all that?

Must be nice...to have unlimited time and budget
All for the cost of 3 houses!
This is some of the best camera work I’ve seen from your channel lately. THANK YOU for showing the details while explaining them.
Happy for you to get to be building one for your self. Enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing the journey of your home, the attention to detail will be on point!
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey Matt. Its been a lot of fun and I've learned a lot as well. You channel continues to be a great resource for those of us in the trades.
Finally a preview of a cool house that I may be able to see a finished product of on this channel.
Awesome video! I'm so happy for you that you finally are able to apply your extensive knowledge and passion to your own home. God bless!
Congratulations on a very thorough rebuild nice to see it's making you HAPPY !
Looks great Matt! Love what you’re doing. Keep up the good work and God bless.
your excitement is my excitement because you fit the bill! I get to watch :D
Man, you have to have an “A team” framing the house with all these details?
I really like the ideas behind the tech you’re using!

Good for you man.
I can feel your joy.
This is amazing ! The excitement in your tone gives us the anxiety to see the final product. Congrats Matt!
I glad there still builders that stay faithful to the '70 aescethics. Utilitarian in layout with just a hint of dated style.
Love this build so much. Awesome to see all the best building practices going into this house
Love your videos. Exciting to see what a pro would do with their own house

This old new house. Great job Matt. I used to tell my crew, and forgot until reminded recently;."Perfect is good enough".
I'm building my personal house to 80 percent of perfect. As an architect I follow says : the last 5 percent to perfect is very expensive
Perfect is the enemy of good.

Why are you putting polyiso on the OUTSIDE of the ZIP rather than just going with ZIP-R12?
This needs an answer!
Because this entire build is bad decisions
Probably due to sponsors / discounts, couldn't get it on the Zip insulated system?
Because he's doing the Perfectwall system he did on a previous video. Insulation on the outside of the airbarrier is way more effective.

Matt, Will you be adding a vapor barrier on top if the floor insulation and under the double sub floor assembly?
EPS doesn't need one. If needed you can tape the seams.

not sure what prices are like there but based on what I can find for sale online LVL 2x4's are about 3 times the cost of a regular 2x4

Hope you continue to show your house until completion.
Your OSB wood what kind are they? Aren't you preoccupied with offgasing? What is your take on it.
Keep it up brother.

Why do you say that
Pun?
