Michele's House? The Move-In Vlog! (Part 1 of 2)

I share with you what's going on with Michele's House! It wouldn't be a house project if I didn't somehow turn it into a business opportunity, so here it goes.

[@RayNLA]

The HOA board is going to drive Matt crazy…Again!!!

[@leftyo9589]

hoa karens make the world go round... LOL

[@sickjohnson]

That ain't no lie! First I have heard about them controlling your entire house...only those toilets...WTF? 🤯

[@tylerearith8241]

Yeah 100 percent. HOA is going to have a field day, week, month, years

[@Gramps83]

Matt for President. LOL!

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's not a traditional HOA. It's run by the developer, so it isn't as painful.

[@luatngo5408]

you struck a cord with me when you said to give the kids a 90's feeling of hoping on a bike and hangout with the neighborhood kids.. 💞thanks Matt

[@digonly]

You could put that spreadsheet as view only in google sheets and link it in the description

[@carlosbarrera6348]

Yes please what was the email he said to email

[@BhupinderSSingh]

Michelle’s reaction to Matt for buying $600 shakers 😂😂

[@dave3952]

Would be cool to have Michele give her insights with the interior plans

[@xpravadox]

She's not allowed due to Hoa policy 😂

[@chrisdavidson7711]

I have been waiting all week for this!! Way to go Michelle

[@tedwhite5197]

Matt, I love your explanation and honesty. It's beyond my pay grade lower I applaud you for making your kids your first priority

[@chuckehrlich]

Matt, you are very smart using the new home as a “business showroom”. Great way to increase sales, and write off more expenses on taxes.

[@Youthman]

Michele was like, "Are you serious"? hahaha love it.

[@efremespinoza]

Wow that’s a killer price!!!My house is 2700 square foot here in Los Angeles and goes for 1.2 million so I should sell and go to Florida!!

[@lifeislucci]

The salt and pepper scene is priceless 😂😂 can’t wait to see the house come together!

[@emiller7040]

Michele's expression!

[@johncarnegie5358]

Those faces at the end Michelle makes are hilarious 😂😂😂

[@RAZGR1Z]

Definitely makes sense to have the kids closer to their daily activities. The cost of housing (and everything) has truly become insane!

[@JCizzleSoCal]

$650K is cheap compared to what we’re paying in the coastal areas of Southern California. That house and lot size would easily be $1.5-$5 Million over here.

[@irelandshane1984]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Michele's reaction when Matt says the price of the salt and pepper shakers!!! Video idea......Matt and Michele do a face-to--face and Matt runs through all kinds of things and tells Michelle the price, the crazier the better!!! 🙈

[@balucipher]

Shout out to Perry and his team, highly recommend him to anyone local who needs an electrician

[@Theonlywone]

Looks like you're having a lot of fun with this project! I'm waiting for part 2... 👍🏻

[@painmanage2881]

Your family is an inspiration - continued success!!

[@2thmvrmpf]

Friends just bought a place in the Villages. Toured some homes in your area and checked out the new school. Very impressive school! That’s the place to be as it is the newer development. HOA aren’t that bad for what you get. Looking forward to your showroom/store!

[@Born4One]

We bought those black Speed Queens back in March. They are awesome.

[@bosoares]

No MLA on the 83 G3 so either save money and get the 83 C3 or spend a little more and go for the G4 to get the better panel.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's $2000 more.

[@dino-335]

Love the house projects! Congrats Michelle!

[@mattwachter4048]

I am excited for the golf cart paint correction and detail package that is coming

[@velodyneman]

Next video. Matt runs for HOA president.

[@marcomonteiro1446]

Haha

[@tylerearith8241]

Could become like a new reality show lol😅

[@PabloConcrete]

Plot twist.... Matt is the HOA President 😂

[@sandmangti7040]

@@velodyneman Matt would require all garages be organized. Then the Karens would go crazy on him.

[@Gramps83]

Matt as HOA prez "First item on the agenda now that I'm president. I move to disolve the HOA forever" LOL

[@UnknownProductions0]

speed queen is the best washer/dryer HANDS DOWN worth every penny.

[@timkinley1779]

I bought duels.

[@skippymarone1251]

Go G4 matty . I have had both and the g3 and 83 g4 performance of the g4 is noticeably better.

[@robertoramos291]

Just the view to the pond sold me ❤ and the bonus room

[@216Cars]

Thanks for sharing, can’t wait for next video!

[@craiglange4852]

Matt will probably disagree but the Cafe appliances are very decent. Had the stove for 2 years. Supposed to get the refigerator and microwave next month. Its very handy to tell Alexa to pre-heat the oven and not have to interrupt what I'm prepping.

[@ObsessedGarage]

The seen okay, but Alexa is never okay. Ha, ha...

[@Jetbill007]

Congrats to Michelle!

[@jpht.adventures]

Time for you and Michele to get on the HOA board!

[@Brodesky]

Omg Michelle's face @33:30 😂 absolutely priceless

[@DellTheHater-mz8zd]

Did you catch her shaking her head too? Lol

[@charliewood3956]

Matt, won't you miss seeing the wife and kids on a daily basis if they were to move full-time? I realize this is obsessed garage, but seems insane that you wouldn't want to hang with the fam!

[@sandmangti7040]

20 miles. Daily commute for most. I am sure Matt will be all over the place. Good for his Wife to get this credit and experience should something ever happen to Matt. Many people own more than 1 house. Soon his Son can drive him if needed.

[@rwarren4757]

OH! I'm just realizing Matt is the Betty Crocker wife in this relationship. look at his eyes when he unwraps a new baking sheet.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha.... You aren't wrong.

[@rmk1283]

Nice! Matt, are you conditioning the garage 24/7 365? Or turning it on when you know you will be out there/weekends?

[@ObsessedGarage]

24/7 for me.

[@MrAumbra]

I have many of Weber Workshops products including the S&P and everything they make is excellent.

[@progression_decibel]

Congrats on the investment property, continued OG and family success. Always wanted to ask this, honest question - are Michele and Mike related? They look like kinfolk!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... They are not, but they are a lot alike.

[@daniellowe4302]

We got the T5 speed queens and love them. Have a few friends with the 7s and they’re having issues with the buttons

[@Dirt32t]

Perry! I would enjoy a video with some great Perry the Electrician content! He was awesome!

[@AlexHALL-j4f]

A small obsessed fishing project would be really cool. It would be something to do with your son, and there’s no really solid information out there. Would be perfect with the retention pond right in your backyard.

[@wmetzler01]

Well done Michelle! And Matt is turning into the “Johnny Appleseed” of garages in central Florida…lol

[@WexWerxScott]

That's a hell of a showroom house Matt! Lots of business write offs!

[@Meowhsss]

You should really check out Nocatee in Ponte Vedra, perfect place to live

[@NathanSweet]

Demeyere is very good, but check out Falk. Salt and pepper that spills out the bottom is no bueno, makes a mess. I'm still looking for a good one that comes out of the top. OXO has one that is OK, but ugly.

[@emmett3067]

Top Loading washing machines? What year is it North America?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Almost all of the front loading machines don't function very well. Miele and Asko that all of the European love some of the worst performing washers and dryers in existence.

[@JR007x]

The salt & pepper grinders…wow!!! Hopefully the site is updated soon.

[@srincomptr]

I actually have the same setup in my home, I would go with the G4 since the 83"G4 has MLA and the 83"G3 does not. I have the 83"G4. I also have the BDI stand too. I also did a 5.1.2 setup. This is all for my family room. I went with Kef R7 Metas, R6 Center, SVS SB-3000 and Kef MR200 for my surrounds and atmos.

[@ts6141]

What are those salt and pepper grinders?! I don't see them on the site under giveaway items.

[@ObsessedGarage]

They’re on the way. From Weber Workshops.

[@snomofilms]

All the TV review channels state there’s a huge difference between the G3 and G4, like not even close

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’ve seen them side by side. There is almost no difference.

[@Teku175]

@@ObsessedGarage 55”-77” and 97” G4 are the same as the G3. 83” G4 is different as it gets MLA for the first time and is actually 30% brighter vs the 83” G3. I’m the LG Specialist at a Best Buy and the difference from the G3 to the G4 was massive when they swapped the 83” display we have. The previous 83G3 is about as bright as the current 83C4 and the 83G4 is a different ballpark.

[@AlexHay90]

Excellent choice on the BDI media cabinet!

[@meeker03]

In no particular order... A) The aspen line from Crate & Barrel should hold up great. I've had the 12 plates and 6 bowls from them for 15 years and use them daily. No scratches, no nothing. Only chipped one bowl and I have no idea how. B) Made-In cookware is totally fine. Very interesting that you don't like it. I have a couple things from them and far prefer it over anything else in the same price range. C) The Weber Moulin Grinders better be the be-all-end-all of grinders and that price. I've seen great things about the Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon so I'd love to see what you think. FYI no-one who cooks professionally uses a salt grinder. You wont get a better product than Diamond Crystal Kosher or Morton Coarse Kosher Salt. Finishing salt is Maldon Sea Salt. What a fun new project. I can't keep up with all the houses at this point. Over the years they all seem to bleed together!

[@ObsessedGarage]

The Made-In stuff I have at the Helen house is all jacked up from normal use.

[@meeker03]

@@ObsessedGarage Is it their stainless stuff or carbon steel or Non stick? If its the stainless it can easily be cleaned with Bar Keepers Friend.

[@ObsessedGarage]

All of the non-stick is destroyed. The carbon steel feel cheap in comparison to de Buyer. The stainless is fine, but I find it to be cheap feel in comparison to All-Clad or Demeyere.

[@meeker03]

@@ObsessedGarage Im not surprised the non-stick isnt holding up. I dont think anyone's safer non-stick holds up in comparison to old unsafe stuff from decades past. I havent used carbon but have no reason to not trust you opion. The stainless tho, I find the handles on the all-clad to be horrible. the concave nature on them hurt when gripping. I know all-clad makes some great stuff but I'd pass. As for Demeyere it's just too expense. It may be good but is it twice as good as Made-In? Again, I trust your opinion since I have never had a reason not to.

[@Patrick94GSR]

18:25 holy crap that’s Ryan??? I swear he was a little kid just a few months ago! 😅 about the same age as my son also. Growing like weeds!

[@davechapman1371]

If you only take away one thing from this channel, listen to this man when he’s talking about lighting. TV rarely does it justice.

[@roberth5156]

You are lucky! That house would be 1.8 to 2 mil where I live in Arizona.

[@regdomain4690]

Blow out the bonus room and make it into a two level barndo-minium garage with two level access to the house.

[@Outrage82]

Tesla plaid with full self driving for the commute - it’s finally pretty much ready now. Might work for you as you’ll know it will be driving in the event you get an attack.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I've been thinking about that.

[@Outrage82]

@@ObsessedGarage the way the brain works, just knowing that it’s in control with you only monitoring it will probably mitigate you having an attack.

[@edwind8440]

Wow, I havent been here in a LONG time! Kids are huge! Ry Ry, is looking like Tyler Herro! LOL

[@robertjohnthomas7332]

Pro Tip- Get a box of white cotton gloves and use them when handling lightbulbs and fixtures.

[@dustincercado]

Matt's son is growing up too fast! I remember watching him as a little kid in the front seat. Does he still get car sick? Congrats to Michele on the new home!

[@blues3531]

760k spec'ed out isn't that bad at all. I was getting prepped for the big 1.2m bomb. I live in the midwest and houses like this go for more currently which is shocking.

[@KnowScott]

These new home construction leave so much to be desired. I'm not an architect but am working on drawing the floorplan of our next home. To me the design and flow of these cookie cutter homes feel like they are designed with building convenience as opposed to thoughtful design. We need a proper OG spec house build.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yep...not great.

[@colbyb952]

Dropped 12k on DMF got a few of the cree. Not sure on the color and light yet but the cree looks a little jank. But I think that’s just the difference in plastic vs aluminum

[@ObsessedGarage]

The CREE looks surprisingly good on the ceiling, but DMF is much better looking.

Hey Matt! Thanks for the insight into your life. I had a question… how do you navigate the financing? Just suck it up and pay the 6.5% interest? Rate buy down? Cash? Larger down payment? Love to get your insight. Thank you!

[@ObsessedGarage]

On this I put very little down. Just pay the rate and figure out how to make more. 7.2% was the rate. I never think about interest rates. I just take what is available. Trying to time stuff is a fools errand.
