I made it to 40:00 . I was about to stop, then you started cutting up the roof. I've always wondered how that was done. I had imagined someone on the ground using trigonometry to cut the pieces and pass them up for nailing. Ha-ha ha ha!

@The Best excellent job! I would like to spend 1 month with you ... paid for this!

Very cool to see this . [short story] When my parents moved us from Edmonton Alberta Can. to Laton Ca. in '63 , my Dad and his partner (both master carpenters from the Netherlands) Built our first home in 17 days start to finish . Including wallpaper smooth kitchen drywall , recessed phone and ironing board etc. But they also built many custom homes for Dutch dairymen and farmers . lol , This was before the days of nail guns so my 5' 10" dad with his 18 oz hammer would set all of the top and bottom plate nails while his 6' 5" partner (Evert van Heeringen) followed behind him with his 32 or 38oz meat tenderizer hammer driving each 16p nail in with a single blow . His partner showed no mercy and would drive my dad forward at an unbelievable pace . Hahaha , good times . Myself I was told to round up ANY 16p or 8p nails off the ground and face all the heads up and keep handing them to my dad . They were a sight to see and many of the American carpenters (framers my dad called them) would laugh and call them "dumb Dutchmen" But they couldn't be beat in skills and knowledge . I miss that . Thanks for the video guys , you're awesome . R.I.P Klaas 'Nick' Schraa and Evert van Heeringen

MattBangsWood did you use a fisheye lens ? A lot of that wood looked warped.

Reading this inspires me so much (i wanna do stuff like these someday) i'm 16

You inspire me soo much. I want to be just like you. I even started my own TRshow channel 👍

How to you tell shoddy craftsmanship from high-end stuff like this?

@Graham hello how are you doing

@ovrbyte that's funny cause this crew is in california.

david whitehouse, it’s America, specifically California.

what country was that .. ? here in england if you dont work in light to moderate rain then you would never get nothing done.

What's so hard about it? if you plate the ground properly before you start, it should be easy

It's customary in California to not have basements, but strange, because most houses this size have a pool, which takes essentially the same skills and planning as a basement. Basements have all kinds of utility (storage, media room, workshop, etc.) and this house has neither a basement nor any usable attic space. We did a major remodel on a 2650 square foot two-story house in California, and I was able to recover oodles of storage space from poorly aligned staircases, linen closets, utility hallways, etc.

@Hello William How are you doing?

It's funny how having kids gets some e to grow up. My buddy did the same thing but know a superintendent for bridges. Great work Matt.

Gotcha keep up the good work!

I had kids at a young age. Im not a contractor, just an employee.

They have that too in the USA, you can pick whole house completed and it’s put together like a puzzle, lumber delivered like what you saw on this video, you can even order a manufactured home and it’s done all move in ready in one day, there’s even concrete homes build like legos, it all depends on how much you want to spend

@Carson Still stacked brick and bad roofs?😂

Xavier North Africa bud

Imagine being from south africa where everything is Brick

On nice homes, you want to center everything.. On lower end, people start at one end and work your way across.. Personally, we center everything. When it comes to framing? Don't do anything differently.

Fine Job by the way!

I was just saying, that I wish I could afford to have a new home built.

@MattBangsWood I'm honored to have you reply to me. I love your videos. So much great content. So much to learn.

It's not our home, I'm just a builder, as David said.

He's a builder.

@Hello Ron how are you doing?
