My House Renovation - Start To Finish!!!

​@Hallucinogenichusky hell yes he would make them a write off, you would have to be dumb to not save money on taxes that way. All he has to do is say that he was buying the items to make this video and thus it's a work expense and saves him thousands of dollars so he can make more content. The fact that he benefits is irrelevant seeing as how small businesses have done this since write offs have been a thing.

[@adlg4234]

The skills to build, and the patience...is just awesome...just really modern, and functional. I love the coloring of the patio tile, and the glass with the wood paneling.

[@CharleswoodSpudzyofficial]

Started building a cabin myself and this just inspired me even more to see it through to the end. Should I make a video series on the build?

This was pure joy to watch, you are a craftsman. Glad to be part of this community.

[@zorroinhell5549]

I don't think you know just how inspirational you actually are. You made it possible for thousands of people to take a great journey with you, including me, and for that I say thank you. Beautiful house!

[@145tak]

What a great transformation. Your sense of design is just as impressive as your workmanship.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Wow! Absolute work of art!!... you are a true talent!

[@carolewarner101]

Whoever lived there before is going to think their house got torn down and this one built in it's place... What a complete and total transformation! Beautiful. Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration Sir.

[@garybush2106]

All I can say is WOW!!!! Simply AMAZING!!!! GREAT JOB!!!! (I remember watching most of the videos when you did the work)

[@exotichandyman]

This house is a showcase of your building and woodworking skills and this video is a showcase of your editing skills. You’re a man of great talent with a big heart. I hope you keep making videos to share those talents with us.

[@teretz571]

Iam a retired carpenter and i have been watching your videos for some time now , you truly are a highly skilled craftsman

[@pihermoso11]

never retire.. a soldier will still be a soldier inside even after the call of duty, an artist will be an artist from his/her first breath to the last.. the carpenter in you should always be in you until its time to go..

[@arianakhan6665]

Truly remarkable craftsmanship, which we sadly don't see enough of today. I feel a sense of accomplishment every time I put up new shelves, house fittings, put my desk together, or wired my apartments ethernet, not the same thing, but I wish I was taught more of these kinds of skills at a younger age, I'm so glad apex craftsman still exist. Simply amazing.

[@hendrax5889]

Been a pleasure to be on this journey with you. Feels like closure after you abandoned youtube when you started the samurai school.

[@taragoodloe4122]

Wow what a beautiful transformation! All the wood really brings warm to the house. Very relaxing and inviting.

[@Life_is_Awesome_Civil]

Dude... this house is the symbol of the work you do. Absolute perfection. Flabbergasted!!! Awesome job

[@kcb5336]

Great job and I’m glad the video was short. Sometimes I just want to see a basic before and after and only the basics along the way. Nailed it.

[@Camshot4]

Well that was a helluva ride. I went from a job working in the lumber section at Home Depot to becoming an HVAC technician/plumbing projects technician, buying my first car, and moving out on my own in the time it took for this renovation to be completed. I'm so happy for the Samurai family and thankful to join you on this journey. Thank you!

Flippin incredible Jesse! It's a serious God given talent you have to be able to picture such a big change and have the skill but most importantly the drive to get it finished. Insane amount of crazy hard work was needed but congrats to you and your family and we'll done to you and the guys that helped you. Blessings!

[@archillies1973]

Dude, congratulations. You talk about how hard it was at times but if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Dont beat yourself up about it! Your skill set is second to none and the quality of finishing and design are fantastic. You have accomplished so much more than many of us ever will with regards to this. I wish we had this kind of thing happening in New Zealand as it would be cool to physically see instead of always video footage. Look forward to continuing watching your content as always. Many thanks!

[@shawngeraghty6347]

J: I think I'm most impressed with your tenacity. I don't mean to diminish your talent or artistry ... they are top notch ,,, seriously. But as one who has done DIY projects, it takes tenacity to follow through any complex project to the end. And that is what is most impressive with what you've done here. To boot, I remember vids of inside work as well. So, hats off to a beautiful renovation, but more so to to ability to stay focused to see it through.

[@martingeldart386]

You're not just a carpenter, you're a flipping artist. Looking forward to the next house renovation starting tomorrow (just kidding).

I have always loved Japanese buildings and in my opinion, they make some of the best hand tools in the world. Their artists, woodworking and craftsmanship is a favorite of mine. I only wish I knew the language. The renovation of your home is just gorgeous. The joinery used on the front beams is perfect and not that easy for the average woodworker like myself. Though I am slowly learning my way through a book about joinery and some I have never seen before. I also have learned a lot from your channel. Thank you for that.

That is a great transformation. The skill needed is rare to find for sure. I live in one of the most expensive zip codes in the country in the smallest house ever. We don't have super high end skills out here since the cost of living is so high though it cost more than anywhere else to build, go figure. We did a full gut and then kitted it out, had to do more and more myself to get it to look right. Started out with a $49 dollar hitachi skill saw and now have a garage of great tools that I actually know how to use thanks to great people like you being on KZbin. Keep it up man as I am looking for more projects to learn how to build.
