I really enjoyed how Matt over at Demo Ranch did the abandoned mansion series, and I think this could be along the lines of that kind of entertainment. We love seeing you succeed and move up in life, thank you for including us on this journey

[@redbo1519]

This! On this channel, do the series, take notes from Matt because it was very engaging the way he did the mansion.

[@Adam_Hazzzzzze]

Matt found out how to tap into the market of HGTV moms. Cleetus could do the same. We get new, fun content, and Cleetus gets many dollars from having a bigger audience. More dollars equals more cars. Would work best on a second channel, or if he renamed this one.

[@michaetsully87]

Twenty year master electrician here. Before drywall goes up, make sure you plan for possible future upgrades and run a circuit for it. Example would be fish tanks, hot tubs, pool heaters, fireplaces. Etc. If it's a 2 story house it's very hard to fish wires through the first floor. Much cheaper to do it now than later. Love to see your house building content!

[@stevemccormick4938]

If it is two story add a LARGE (or two) raceway from the load center and data center to the second floor attic then you can drop in from the top on the second floor. When houses had chimneys for heat it was a great top to bottom access but now you have to plan ahead.

[@LoganWillmert]

If you can fit it into your design, either put in a few sub panels to help make future renovations easier by keeping the electrical closer to your usage point, or run conduit from the main panel(s) to a few strategically placed junction boxes to help with not having to tear open intervening spaces for renovations. Something like putting a large junction box behind your refrigerator; you won't need to get into it unless you're renovating, but you could totally tear apart your kitchen in the future and not have to tear out any other rooms/ceilings to route new electrical. Personally, I'd try to do that for a few big areas like your kitchen(s), garage, living room/entertainment center.

The Cleetus2 channel definitely has the potential to grow if you put the build on here. It's already established as the off-topic Cleetus content and I'd say 3 channels is too much. Doing the house content on Cleetus2 will give the channel a solid consistent theme with the occasional racecar crossover/announcements. Having everything on the main channel in my viewing experience gives me atrophy, it's too much to take in and that separation of themes is nice. It's the personal side of Cleetus and just like with what Demo Matt did, he did the abandon mansion but it wasn't forever and that turned out okay for him and the fanbase.

[@jamesdailey6026]

Cleetus and other youtubers like him are able to do the these things because of the fans like us who buy the merch, the live streams, attend the events, etc. We have watched him and his family grow like they were our own family, so to be able to watch a build series just makes sense. Look at the numbers for the abandoned mansion or adam lzs compound. Im sure even taylor rays shop builds are huge increases to his revenue stream. It's been proven multiple times over that the fan base is more than willing to watch whatever they do.

[@FearlessWizen]

[@Dwayne.H]

I think for the main channel do the overarching design and big updates. This channel get into the grit of what's going on, it'll give this channel some room to grow with regular updates with just the housing stuff mostly so people on the main can sub to this channel even more if they want more but also don't get fatigued with double videos from car + house content. Your audience is pretty big, so it gives a lot of us some advice on what to do, learn what you do, and how to do something if that chance arises for themselves. I will say based on my house, you can't go wrong with outlets all over and the ability to have cat7 or higher cable outlets all over too. Yeah you can run wifi but sometimes you need extenders, stuff gets dropped. High quality hard line that will hold you for years to be able to plug into anywhere in your house can save some stress. Lighting too, some of those new bulbs like the Phillips Hue you can control with your phone or Alexa for the "cool" rooms. They're expensive but for what I use them they are worth. I changed out my ceiling fans to ones that don't have cords coming down and are controlled with remotes have been a nice change. Lay in bed and turn the fan higher/off without getting up, just don't lose the remote lmao. Depending on how wild you go, you can have morning routines that the curtains open at certain time with lights slowly coming on all kinds of shit with smart house these days

[@gregkautz4793]

Definitely do a video series. I wouldn't mind it being on your mail channel. Wouldn't bother me a bit.. Things I learned building my house. 1. You can never have to many closets/storage rooms. 2. Power outlets recessed in the floor. Especially in living areas. The more the better. 3. Good lighting in the bedrooms. Put can lights on a separate switch so you don't always have to have them on. 4. Put outlets on columns on your porches.

[@jakecline1272]

Some of my favorite things in the design for building my house: Think through where you want to be able to turn on different sets of lights throughout the house. For example, our main Hallway lights can be turned on/off from right outside the Master, the kitchen, entry from the garage, and front door. We put in a whole house speaker system with separate sound control sections and wired the alexa into it. The music throughout the house is extremely nice. If you're going to be in a secluded area, I suggest having one of the switches for each section of flood lights in your Master. That way if there's a weird noise outside, you can light up the world without having to go to the front/back doors. This paired with the hallways lights outside our room makes it to where I can light up pretty much the whole house very quickly if I want to. Get bright Floodlights. Ours are 10000 lumen with three sections per light. My outdoor projects/get togethers can continue into the night very easily.

[@derbypyro1873]

I agree with your idea about putting the house stuff on the main channel while not interrupting the racecar content. Your main channel generates a lot more revenue and will be seen by more people. If someone doesn't want to see house building content on the main channel they are grown ups and can just click off of it and watch the racecars. I think most of your subscribers/viewers are like me. I love racecar stuff, aviation stuff, RC stuff, construction stuff, and the general shenanigans you and your crew get into. Reading a couple of the replies, to be clear I am only in favor of construction stuff on the main channel if it does not interfere or take away from the racecar vids. Cleet says this in the video.

This channel is the best spot for this type of content. Matt did the mansion and it was cool to watch that series. Building a house goes really fast once plans are set, comparatively. There is a lot of thought and prep going into the plans. Tons more coordination between contractors and their schedules, if you decide to use them more than doing it yourself solely. It is going to suck up a lot of time. You are going to have to find out your end date and work towards that. There are quite a few channels that do this type of content. The best ones are where everything is documented in video. Keep in mind you don't have to put vids out in real time with the build. I've seen the stress that creates. Your ability to create interesting content will carry the entire project. Good luck!!!

[@SDSBBQs]

I'd say do detailed videos on the second channel so those who care can see it... and do updates on the main channel cause most of the folks building cars will like to see a house build. A build is a build!

[@GnarDogTstix]

This is a good idea. Upload update vids on the main channel and upload detailed vids to the 2 channel. Just have the links to the full house project on the main channel vids. This could work too.

[@doublesmcsteer692]

Totally agreed. The main channel's all about the horse torques, but everyone also cares about the cool builds and jet washing the bleachers. Main channel for the main bits, but we'll also be devoted to more content on the 2nd. Miss the build updates for the FF, so would love to see this.

[@dksaevs]

"A build is a build!" No truer words have ever been spoken.

[@tobybrowning1852]

@@dksaevshell yeah brother!!!

[@seeneed4speed]

Good idea. I think your long time followers will love updates and if they want more will go to the other channel. However new subscribers interested in the build may not care about the car content at all and leave annoying comments asking about the house lol

[@alexcampion8529]

Cleeter, I wasn"t that into drag racing until I started watching your channel, soon to realise it wasn't just the drag racing I was interested in, it was your personalitly and how you presented the content and how you interact with others. It's just a bonus that you also love aviation and anything with an engine, which is what I'm into, and so are thousands of your viewers. The series defineley belongs on your main channel. Peace from Australia 🇦🇺

[@J.bickel]

Yessir 🤝 literally doesn’t matter what cleetus is doing when he posts I’m excited, I just enjoy watching him an the guys

[@caseyfiedler1607]

Put it on the main channel. The people that have been following u from the beginning will want to see ur journey on building your home. I have watched science videos on this channel .lawn care videos. Rc racing .Aviation videos . Boat racing. If they can't be proud of your accomplishment and enjoy to watch ur journey then they where never part of the cleeter crew. Congrats on the home build and the baby girl.

[@freedspeed9800]

I'd suggest putting it on whichever channel would generate the most revenue. However, building up the second channel, similar to how Demo Ranch did, also has its advantages. In case anything were to happen to your main channel, you would have a solidly built second channel ready to go. Super pumped for this content!

[@KS-gs2vd]

said what i was thinking

[@waybous]

This sounds like the perfect idea.

[@eircjohn12]

Definitely a series on 2nd channel. I’ve built 2 custom homes for myself as a builder. Best advice: don’t make sacrifices build the dream you have the resources and you’re incredibly talented as a businessman, creator and drive/ pilot. You save me cubicle dollars by building the stuff I don’t have the resources and time to build. Keep up the incredible content!

[@owenmeany3426]

Don’t feel weird about us seeing you build your dream home!! We are here for it!! You deserve it! Construction is a slow process so I’d do like 2 a month on the 2 channel then like a quarterly update on the main! If you don’t want to saturate it even tho I would 100% still watch the hell out of it. I’m renovating my first home right now so I like see home building tips.

[@camtwan1]

Something I've learned through renovating my first home Tip #1 : I think you should add access ports to every major in wall fixture/pipe. It isn't terribly unaesthetic and if you ever want to replace a shower set up, or check a spigot leak after a freeze etc. All you have to do is pop open an access port, over cutting into dry wall, replacing dry wall and repainting. It adds such a peace of mind to quickly pop open a port after a freeze as well as a great way to check the condition of your studs. The extra minor cost could save you thousands down the line. Tip #2 : Go in before drywall is up and take pictures of the bare walls. This will be insanely handy down the line to be able to look at a picture and know where everything is. Tip #3 : I don't know how bad foundation shifts are in Florida, but it never hurts to go a little overboard with foundation...it is in fact, the foundation of your whole investment.

[@pyroman590]

First and foremost, CONGRATS Garrett, you've earned it!!! Second, get with Matt Risinger of the the Build Show and collaborate with him as well. He specializes in high end high performance homes. You need your home to perform as well as your race cars, a collab with him would be epic!!! Third, as a construction guy who loves race cars and airplanes, keep it on the main channel and do a build series.

[@doitalldave]

This right here. ^^^^ I couldn't agree more. I love watching the content you guys provide and as a home owner I love watching Matt and using his ideas for my remodel.

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

I couldn’t agree more that you’d want Matt on your project because he has a wealth of knowledge & experience on how to make a house perform at its best but damn I find him so boring to watch & listen to. Not sure what it is, maybe it’s the editing style. But I can’t do it, which is unfortunate because I renovate homes for a living & mostly consume reno/car content on YT. Similar situation to Adam LZ & obsessed garage. I wanna see the progress but can’t handle the poorly edited lacklustre videos

[@trev.5]

You made it to #21 on trending on your second channel, this proves the demand is there for the content. This project gives you the perfect opportunity to be like Demolition Ranch and his Matt Carriker (Off the Ranch) second channel taking off also. Two revenue streams from two different audiences without risking losing any of our original audience

[@Cody_4]

Still at #23 with just a video talking about building a house. 😂

[@JayMac]

Do not feel weird... You already took inspiration from Matt with the abandoned mansion, keep going. We want to see it all brother.

[@saxdudegcgt7217]

I'd love to see a series on the house. I completely see what you're saying about diluting the main channel since it's automotive related. If you could see yourself making other build content, vlogs, or things without engines for the foreseeable future starting a new channel is a great idea. If you think you wouldn't be making much more content like that after the house then that's why you have the second channel. Love what you do and all you're willing to share with us. Hell yeah brother!

[@joeC2319]

I think the house content belongs on the second channel, this is an opportunity to have it as a personal update, family channel. This will also bring in a different viewer base, and grow into another prosperous channel. I think keeping the Cletus 1 channel shop, track and all things with a motor is smart. (Very similar to Matt’s personal channel with the ranch vs the demo ranch being all things guns)

[@alexdavis9324]

This could be his off the ranch (demo ranch second channel)

[@LFM217]

All the freedom factory renovation videos did well on the main channel so I can’t imagine the house build series would do badly.

[@bigchuck707]

Bro, as a custom home builder I am STOKED to see this kind of content! I think having a separate channel where you post a majority of the build content would be good, but sprinkle in a few clips here and there on the main channel to direct potential traffic over to the build channel. I’m stoked to see the plans and nerd out on this build!!

[@metalmattmandude]

Like Colin Furze's new underground Driveway project, run some longer more detailed videos on a Second channel and release more of the bigger updates on the Main

[@philport76]

Sounds like an opportunity for an “off the Ranch” style channel like Matt. Look at the success Matt has had with his other channel, and his really took off with the Abandoned Mansion series. Cleetus I would start a channel for all your non race car stuff like this, track improvements travel. I’d be certain all of us would subscribe to it and the main channel can still be what we all have come to love.

[@tonykratochvil324]

“Off the track” perhaps🤨🤣

[@jayDc000]

Exactly what I thought

[@travisdegen8428]

Yeah, I think this is the way to go. Purely from a KZbin engagement point of view. If you have viewers that aren't interested in the house building/non racecar content and they choose to not click those videos on their home feed the algorithm will stop suggesting videos from the channel, even if that content is back in line with the typical race car stuff. I've had it happen to me with channels that have varied content where I started wondering why they aren't uploading anymore when really, it was just the KZbin algo thinking I wasn't interested in that channel anymore just because I didn't have interest in a few videos from a series significantly different from the "typical" content.

[@bluewave18ft]

100% agree

[@TheKingLux]

Yes I think an "Off The Track" channel would be perfect

[@chrisgilmour831]

I've been hooked on watching obsessed garages build on Adam lzs house. I'm surprised others haven't mentioned it more. If you want the best of the best, Matt at obsessed garage is the man. From faucets to lighting, to tile, to kitchen sinks and appliances. It's all amazing shit

[@aaronferguson2357]

OG makes so much content I can’t even keep up at all 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ but Matt could really help Cleet with so many aspects of the build. He’s one guy you could count on making a house feel like you spent your money appropriately and it’s all stuff you’d see, feel, use, every single day. From home office, to garage, hangar, everything you mentioned, even custom home audio systems. Cleetus NEEDS Matt for this. If I were spending (likely 7 figures) on a house, I’d have to consult Matt

[@NicheEscape]

Get the likes up on this comment people!!

[@Pavorish]

If Matt at OG isnt somewhat involved, I'd be impressed. Doesnt sound like he wants to take on another build like the LZ house again, but he can definitely give cleet the hook up on a bunch of cool scheet

[@r2z092]

Set it up for a ats and stand by generator even if you never get the actual generator installed, itll be much cheaper to be put in along with the electrical and would increase the value of the house 10 fold. Also imop wood siding is best besides the upkeep with paint and rot etc. Goodluck man houses definitely are a gnarly project

[@hbeezy1952]

-Before drywall goes up run speaker wire in the living room for surround sound. - Kitchen island - Offset studs- better insulation and reduce noise/vibration - pot fillers - gas stove - 1 huge garage door instead of 2 or more - shower steamers - outdoor kitchen

[@littlewicky1]

2nd the speaker cable recommendation. And please for the love of all things holy, don't do a surround sound setup entirely in the ceiling! Their are amazing in wall options out there. Also have Ethernet/Internet cables pulled throughout the house! That way you can use wireless access points and provide solid coverage for the whole house! Or have wired internet in an office.

[@iamconio]

this needs mode upvotes, also ethernet network cabling through out to connect devices.

As someone who is here for the car content… but has also watched endless timelapse videos of lawn care at the FF - 😂 - I think it’s safe to say that wherever you put the content, we will watch it. I’d actually vote for it being on the main channel - because why not - it’s following you and your endeavors across the spectrum. Jet boats, sand rails, snow rails, rc planes, real planes, hovercrafts, racetrack renovations… why not add home construction to the mix! I’m excited to see what you build!

This is prime 2nd channel stuff, we love watching our favorite tubbers live it up. Especially folks like you that arent gaudy or shitty about it, you truly appreciate it.

Anything like an RV to motorcycles never exposed to the elements. Cover the roof with solar panels have a huge area to play with my vehicles indoors. The kids could play safely inside.

[@JoeMartin007]

Put the house build on this channel like Matt did on his second channel, build this channel and keep it as an alternate to racing content. I absolutely love building/renovation content like Matt's mansion/resort and stuff like Brad the builder does with new construction. Looking forward to watching this build!

[@MichaelBacon212]

Honestly I think you should put it on the main Channel because all of those videos that you did of the track getting done absolutely killed it and we all loved seeing it and I know we would all love more videos from the main Channel and seeing updates to the house so yes please put it on the main Channel. Hell yeah brother!!!!!

[@andersjacobson9362]

Having just built a custom home on 13 acres in Ohio. Definitely a separate channel. There are so many decisions to be made and details and cool construction stuff it could overwhelm primary channel. If you have the space build on your property, build a second building shop/bardo so Maddy and the ripper have their own space. Best advice for you is “yes dear”. Should have Maddy be part content creator.

[@elikrohse8684]

First of all, you have worked so hard to make the brand and build your business. You deserve a nice place to relax and raise your family. I personally don’t feel that you should feel bad about that. I think it would be good for the algorithm if you posted them on the main channel, but some new viewers might be confused. People who’ve been with the channel will probably follow to wherever you go and be hyped to see it on the main or the secondary

[@tjsingh5163]

I think I can speak for everyone to say that we’re fans of you and your crew not here because of what you guys do specifically but because any content from RC, jet boats, science ect is always entertaining makes us feel like we just hanging out with some good friends having fun.

Personally, I think Derek/VGG does this really well, by keeping the main channel to cars and doing house stuff on the second channel. Also, it would be a pretty stellar opportunity to grow this channel even further, and engage a new audience that watches youtube for house stuff and maybe won't be interested in the cars. Your main fan base will watch it regardless of where it is.

[@Fatbikersrides]

Agree totally

[@mrmatt7210]

You can never tell what the future has awaiting you, both good and bad. With this being said, incorporate as many handicap accessible items into your build as possible. (wide doors, roll in showers, bathroom etc) As you age, the money spent on these choices will not go wasted, but should you ever be in a life changing accident you will be thankful your house is ready for your new needs. Lets be honest, these days your life could change drastically in less than 7 seconds, and now is the time to prepare for such.

[@spidey8568]

It's totally understandable to feel awkward and weird about building your own place. I'm a builder in Minneapolis and felt super embarrassed when I started to build my own place.
