[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Check out more videos from this remodel here- kzbin.info/aero/PLKeoAfcTZa1GYKkq_uzSFbj0u_q5A-uRs Subscribe to my channel: bit.ly/SubscribeToTheFixer Thanks for watching! 😃

[@Britt-h4s]

Great video. Also the out takes are funny.

[@HenntuPhotography]

Besides the confidence your videos give me to tackle projects, they also give me an explanation for the wife on the tools I’ve been buying 😂

Awesome job per usual...

[@nereida116]

Always awesome with instructions! BTW you look like you've lost weight! You look good... God bless you greatly and your loved ones! Amen.🤲🏼

[@jsaysyay]

will i ever not be amazed by how smooth you manage to do everything, at least from the perspective of the watcher the whole "uhh... :) " lmao

[@judithcatlett8518]

Your measurements are amazing.

[@pitsnipe5559]

While my remodel days are over, I am enjoying your videos.

[@BoudicasQuest]

I love how much I learn from you. You explain things clearly, which I appreciate. Looking forward to seeing your new home complete!

[@nhrider88]

Another great job. Thanks

[@dianadunham6691]

I really enjoy your videos. They have such good information. My house is over 100 years old, so no telling what is hiding. A kitchen remodel is in the, hopefully, near future (after my husband completes the resto-mod of our 1956 Chevy pickup.) Today's outtakes made me chuckle.

Great job and as always good advice on safety, greetings from Glasgow Scotlamd...

[@punchion]

Another great video man. Keep them coming!

[@kevinritchie9227]

"Do what works for you..." Ok, so can I get your number so I can pay you to do it? LOL! Seriously, you make it easy to learn.

[@m.pav.8397]

Wow you have really lost weight. You look healthy. Great video and your explanations are always top notch. 😊

[@WanderingWiley]

Nice work sir

[@Ed_Shaw]

When you were working on the opening I thought you were working with live wires 😮 since I didn't hear you say you'd isolated the power to those circuits. What I'd really like to know is how many hours do you spend just staring at the camera? 😂😂😂. You did fabulously well though!

[@grounded-b937]

They were live. He was just very careful. Did you notice that he put the wallplates back on, to be safe ?

[@michaelmathews295]

When I did a header I used narrow vertical strips and left some gaps between the big boards to let me put electrical through them as I had to reroute some Romex.

[@SpringRubber]

I think I know what you did because I just encountered it in a header I recently removed from a 2x4 wall: instead of using a full width of 1/2" plywood for the middle of the sandwich, the original framer used approx 4 inch wide strips of 1/2 plywood and put those spacers on approx 16 inch centers across the header, which left some wide gaps. I have no idea if that's ok by code but it seems like a wise use of material AND gives a channel to run romex thru the center of the header.

Good job! It was helpful for me, thanks. Good luck.

[@leslietinyhousebuilderwann3851]

Thank you

[@williamwales6619]

I have same problems with a dog and a better half that inspects all work as it is being done. (Doh). Love the video. You make it look easy but i know it isn't. Thanks for that Later.👍

[@jim-Infinity]

good to learn

[@marchu50]

Nice video

[@leewillers4621]

Thanks so much Matt you are awesome!❤ My husband was a Journeyman and said after a couple of years he decided it was not for him and went into the military. He has skills, but I don’t know if he would take on a job like this! You make it all look so easy!

[@stevet5238]

When the old guys on This Old House retire , the show may just offer you a big $$$$ job ...

[@vtecispower]

Honestly I learned more from the fixer than years of this old house.

[@JWill6969]

I genuinely dont like this old house tutorials. I think they overlook alot of different situations and can skip over a bunch without realizing.

[@patora911]

He would need to move to Boston

[@ms.lindac148]

After watching your videos, I’m pretty sure I can build a small house. Lol. Thanks😊

[@gregmize01]

That intro was INTENSE!!! 😬😳😬😳

[@charleshenderson1174]

Thanks

[@cantgetright742]

To Matt of the past, there aren’t any pipes in there. It went well. Just thought you’d like to know. You should still record as much as you can. It seems like this house is probably gonna be around awhile and that this might be the house your kids grow up in. Personally I loved the remodels start to finish.

[@diaml]

The location of your new door makes the most sense, but I probably would have made installed the door on the other wall so I didn’t have to mess with moving electrical. 😂

[@symcardnel1741]

The bloopers are the BEST Excellent video and info!!! Bro and others... do yourselves a BIG favor and maybe start thinking about ear protection! I'm 62... had 'normal' hearing most of my life but now have 70% hearing loss and tinnitus that is 100% unbearable. Likely causes... shotgun shooting as a kid, Zeppelin, The Who & Foghat on 10 as a teen, nail guns, compressors, chop saws, jack hammers, grinders, power presses, four slides and woman as an adult. All while never wearing ear protection. Keeping our eyes is good too.

[@sanantoniogirl67]

Your wife is a very lucky girl!!! She's got herself a Jack-of-all-Trades husband!!!

[@gracepope3800]

I wish i had your skills

[@nereida116]

I wish I had a house😢.

[@arturog.r6546]

😂 you good bro. 😎👍🏽

[@aznko2]

24:29 trying to guess where it’s going to come out of….nope, got it wrong 😂

[@adamjackson9988]

I’m gonna make an intro, and imma do it like the cool aid man

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Looks like you've dropped a good amount of weight. Everything good with you? Hope the new home is going well and your family is well.

[@jatdesign4495]

Hmm what if you are turning a window into a door on the exterior but it’s a engineered yellow pine beam instead of the typical top plate construction ?

[@bubashalom8274]

lol.
