I always find this kind of comment interesting. You've never known the man or his family and have never had a relationship with him behind the camera. Yet you've made a judgement on his character, and I have no doubt you believe what you say 100%. Did you know that this is how you make sheeple? You see things on a screen. You've never met them. You've only seen controlled public media released only by the party you're watching. Yet, you've come to that very conclusion. Nothing against you friend. I just wanted to have an exercise in enlightenment :)

@@thedevilsadvocate3710 I have been thinking about what you have typed. I agree that judging someone from only media that they release is a bit silly. However, you can't fake the look in Meredith's eyes when she looks at Matt. You can't fake the way the kids run to him and tell him about all the things that go on in their day. Between this series, Demolition Ranch and Off the Ranch there is so much footage of the family interacting. I just don't think you can fake it that long. If he did that's incredible. Additionally, there are things that Matt could leave in his videos that he doesn't. He protects his family in that way. As much as I agree with you, as a rule of thumb, I think that the OP is correct in his assesment.

They really do seem like a wonderful family that was raised with values and a love of the outdoors. Not only are they veterinarians but they can build, weld and fix almost anything that is broken. It takes a lot of patience and determination to accomplish what Matt and Meredith did, heck she was very involved in some of the physical work with the nail gun.

@@thedevilsadvocate3710 normally I’d agree with you, but I think the way his family reacts-those are emotions that are VERY hard to fake. Especially the kids’ reactions. With countless celebrities and famous people on the internet, it’s pretty easy to see who’s posing for the internet and who’s actually being real. And out of those celebrities I’d easily say Matt is someone to look up to, based off what we see. I don’t think he would be as successful as he his if it was all fake. I know you’re playing the devils advocate hence your name, but I’d like to think Matt is one of the exceptions. Obviously that line of thinking can be dangerous, especially if you put someone on a pedestal and then some dark revelation is revealed about them. I think those “family” channels are all acted-you can tell those kids are forced to be in them. With these videos it never really seems that way and his kids look like they’re genuinely having fun.

That cut to mere as she finished off that glass of wine while you were saying you got something bigger and more abandoned was hilarious . It,s been a fascinating 3 years to watch the progress of turning what was an ugly duckling into a incredible family home . Can,t wait to see whats next . Good luck guys .

I really enjoyed watching this build. Not only did we get to see the progress of the build and most times showing the process but we got to watch your kids grow over time. As a father of 5, I done a simular build but, my old house isn't as big as yours, but plenty big for my family. Our kids helped us every inch of the job. Now all of them are grown and are home owners and parents too. I believe that when you have the means and the ability, you tend to appreciate the house more when you go this far to make it your home!

Yea I hadn't watched the first few on release as I knew they'd be a series but as soon as I was furlough in the pandemic I binge watched and then watched on release, amazing series. I know it's personal but I'd love to see a walk through of your house now it's "lived in" as well as any other snags like the swimming pool issues. I'm not sure if you had any footage but it'd be interesting to see some more time-lapse style footage of the finishing bits, I understand why you didn't do them yourself and didn't film them but it'd still be interesting, also watching you and mere doing things like changing a light in your old house was so entertaining it'd have been great to see you assembling furniture etc 🙈
