Old-School House Building: 1-Year Solo Timelapse of Craftsmanship in Action

[@nolanwalker7250]

I don’t think many people understand how incredibly impressive this/this man is. Job well done, sir.

[@bezputink]

а он закончил что-ли работу? Я думал тут до благоустройства территории вокруг дома все покажут... С подвальным помещением вообще ничего не понятно.

[@TobsNov]

I do .. but we are a extinct species

[@mikaelandersson4114]

I understand what you mean. You need to have rather good knowledge about it to understand it. I know from own experience when my sister ask me to do something, she say -can you help me fix this, it can´t take so long time! She say this without knowing anything about how difficult or how long it take. And then she not understand how much help she got...

"The problem is not that we don't have time, is that we waste a lot of it." Well done sir.

[@ANASALGLID]

I Watched Many types of builders, you’re considered the most skilled, the best and the simplest.

[@mindsparx1]

So nice of you to say... thank you!

[@thomasthedoubter6813]

I smile every time the 'fun' meter drops to nearly zero when he's doing insulation, then maxes out when he goes back to carpentry and cabinet work.

[@pewheretic7967]

Beautiful work. It's encouraging to see someone who doesn't let the domain master them, but casually accepts the responsibility of being master of the domain.

[@selltheworldgames]

You have inspired me to the point where I am about to do the same here in california altought building codes and inspections are quite different. I am on the market for remote property currently, why would i spend 750k on a decent sized property with a house when I can buy a remote plot of land with power for 150k and build a house on my own for a similar amount to what you spent when time is not a major issue? Housing out here is insane. Thank you for your videos and the inspiration, you have potentially lowered my retirement age by 15 or more years.

[@mindsparx1]

Thank you and good luck with your house building, document the house building, we want to see :)

[@sallydavidson2026]

What an absolutely stunning house. You certainly are a man of great talent. Lovely design and classy touches.

[@shuman26V]

Fantastic series. You are an excellent builder!

[@bezputink]

а почему в россии не так каркасники строят - не тот "пирог" у стен.

[@An-Engineered-Journey]

Built better than what a team of contractors could build. Excellent job sir

[@mindsparx1]

Thank you and Happy new year.

[@sammosalmane301]

Genius, tackled every part of the construction and made it look easy

[@calculatedrush]

Fantastic video. The editing you have done is impressive, especially small things like the happiness bar at the bottom and the weight

[@BERNHARDHT]

I have purchased land in BC for a residential home and am quoted 225K + hydro,sewage,driveway etc for 900sq feet 1 story delivered. im a beginner builder, soaking up all this information ( yours and other channels ) while attempting to build small projects ( camper, box, shelves.. doing wiring, basic cutting, measurments, patio ) And I feel like I am beginning to find courage to not only save a huge amount of money, but go through an experience I will remember for a lifetime. My biggest fear is building an ugly house that leaks and breaks .. lol ! cheers from vancouver island mate

[@gergelyalmasi8778]

Congratulations! You are a true inspiration. I've been watching your series from the beginning, can't thank enough to share this journey with us. Keep it up!

[@usturbo1135]

Hi, I'm a carpenter in Portugal, and whenever I can I spend a little time watching some videos on KZbin. I have learned different ways or solutions to work. One day you appeared and I stayed to see it from beginning to end. Some of the things I would have done differently but I loved your work and especially courage, I would like to be your partner Congratulations on everything you've done and shown yourself to the world. I take my hat off for you

[@grimm0711]

Just wanted to say my husband and I enjoy all your videos - very informative and good sense of humor! Ignore negative comments, they are just jealous :) Keep it up!

[@mindsparx1]

Thanks, glad you like the videos. Fortunately, most of the comments are nice, but I notice that we live in tougher times and that many people are not feeling well. Some comments are justified but many are downright mean.

[@grimm0711]

That's sad because they must be hurting badly to be so angry inside. All we can do is pray for them, and keep doing good things, like build amazing structures! Blessings to you.@@mindsparx1

[@automatedwoodworker]

I just found out you are the same man behind the RAW cnc I am now building. Slightly extended to 3000x1750mm. Just got the plates delivered (friend with waterjet made them out of stainless steel for me) Just saying, you are a great inspiration. A true renaissance man. Would love to offer you a drink sometime when I visit Sweden! (At least 3x a year)

[@mindsparx1]

Thank you and good luck with the CNC machine. I am always available for a beer or 3

[@masonsmith1198]

Incredible job! I've enjoyed watching the whole series. This guy is extremely talented to be able to perform all the trades himself.

[@MarshaKerrTalley]

This was beyond impressive! Brilliant man!

[@mindsparx1]

Thank you :)

[@PYRAMIDOFICIAL]

You are awsome my friend! I cant beleive that a single person can do all this perfect jobs. Congratulations

[@meelusine]

Unbelievable ! How could you do it so perfect in such a short time all by yourself and with 2 companies to run !?! I guess planning and organisation is key. You make it look simple ... such an inspiration.

[@mindsparx1]

Yes you are right. Planning is everything. I draw up everything to be done on the computer and make sure the material is in place.

[@OnlyFam]

I LOVE the fun bar. That put a smile on my face!

[@rawimir]

I'm going to build a house in Poland. Actually, two houses. One regular and the other guest house. Although I'm not sure if I will make the same technology in the case of the main house, I will build a wooden frame house as a guest house. Much smaller than yours. I learned a lot. I like to do things independently, and your film inspires me. It gives me a lot of practical pieces of advice.

[@rawimir]

The only thing that I don't understand is why you installed this kind of window. I know, they are very Swedish, but when it comes to cleaning them, it's a nightmare. Especially upstairs. Modern, rotated windows, or open to inside, would be more practical.

[@jordy46682]

Fun meter was fun! As it started I remember a previous episode where you mentioned you don't like painting. Sure enough, fun meter was low during the painting times... Except for when your wife was painting the outside of the house... 😅

[@janmccann8081]

I'm blown away. Incredibly impressive, and fascinating to watch. If ever I could get someone to build me a house, it would be like this. In the UK, the problem is finding a decent plot of land in the countryside!

[@mindsparx1]

Thank you :)

[@Dannnniel]

Im ready to come back to this in a year with a couple million views

[@JanisKirsteinsDev]

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey. Few questions: 1. How much ~ would it cost if a construction company built it? 2. Is there anything you would do differently if you had to start over again? 3. What is the plan for heating the house? You have air to air heat pump and you mentioned a stove.

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

Just look at his day counter times whatever the day rate is for your local tradesman - im sure he also put in long days meaning a workday is 8h normally but his peobbaly longer so you have to add some days accordingly. Where I am about 1k adayper person. Labour alone is often up to 50% of the total cost. So double his cost plus land.

[@lesshaventures8894]

All my life i dreamed to be you without knowing you ^^ build a house 100% by yourself in 6 months, impressive, I'm doing mine for first time, we are 2 sometimes 3 and we will take 8 months but it's a bit smaller. thx for the vidéo !

[@davidprins9401]

I love your take on the summary, showing the days etc.

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Very very impressive! Just watched the whole series in one evening 👍🏼👌🏼

[@6099x]

loved seeing the special 'burning' animation in the fun meter - understandable why! what a nice house, the outdoor kitchen looks so chill. how did the first beer taste on at the bar?

[@operatorqui4566]

I love how the fun meter drops when you work with insulation. It sucks.🤣

[@rolandwilson4344]

I am watching your series on your house build. You are doing an incredible job and your home is absolutely beautiful. If and when you build a home for your children please share that as well. Keep up the great work.

[@kires11]

You have more courage than me. If my previous house burned down, I think the next would be made of stone or concrete, something that is not fire food.

[@mindsparx1]

I made a small mistake, the price of all windows and doors is 13000 USD/Eur, but the animation shows 1300 USD/EUR, but the total cost calculator is correct, only the price animation is wrong... I'll probably find more errors so I list them here :)

[@mindsparx1]

Thanks for watching, I will upload some more video on ventilation and on all finished rooms a little later. I'm in the middle of other projects right now, but it's coming:) I have appreciated your comments.

Thank you so much for sharing your work, it's been wonderful watching you, and having the full build on this one video really brings it all together. You do absolutely beautiful work, and are so incredibly skilled. You are an inspiration and I have loved being here on the journey. When you post more videos I will be here!

Thank you :)

Wonderful information with expenses, days and funmeter :)

[@3pleiss]

just one word Master

[@UGPepe]

Great series, thank you for sharing it all with us! I've been thinking about the shear strength of the wall system. Normally, you'd fasten the OSB into the studs "stitching them up" with a high density of nails for high shear strength. In your system the OSB is attached to the studs indirectly through those thin horizontal wood strips. Doesn't that lower the shear strength of the walls enough to require some diagonal bracing?

[@mindsparx1]

Yes probably, but the house is so small. A two story house would be built differently.

[@ianzagorskikh3964]

Very good, man, excellent work! Tanks for sharing!

[@user-proek-dacha]

Very cool, you did well! We did everything ourselves, including the furniture!🙏

Hi, it's around 90 square meters or 23'x41' with half cellar and second floor

[@andrealillacci9030]

You have really good skills as carpenter, I build a small house by myself last year, did many mistakes but overall I came out ok. I was looking for some Swedish builder to see how things are done there since and I'm happy I found you because I want to build a house very similar to the one you have build. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your skills. The wood you used for the roof and for the frame is 45x190 or 45x145?

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

Over 72kgs!!! That’s a lot! Watching this build was so fun. We definitely want to use some of these techniques for our cabin build, like the double insulation wall. Will you be doing a final walk through tour when it’s completed?

[@YuuyaTenjou13]

Nice engineer 😎😀👌

[@jacekbator]

Could you elaborate a bit about the design of your swimming pool? Knowing you it had been built with a budget in mind so I'm very curious how you did it and what materials were used. Thank you.

Dyktig kar:) men kansje litt mer hms på taket;) .Det ble et fint hus, og du sparte minst 1/3 av hva et firma hadde tatt for og bygge dette for deg :)

[@klaasmellema3607]

I live in the Netherlands and I am a carpenter. Due major migration and small land area and all regulations they make it imposible for low income to even buy a piece of land to build on. And dont get me started on houses that need heavy renovation. Those go away for crazy prices and are not afailable often.

[@Rebasepoiss]

A few questions/remarks: 1) No vapour barrier underneath the floor? That's a ventilated crawlspace though, right? 2) No continuous vapour barrier from the first floor to the second floor ceiling/walls? 3) When installing vertical siding it's common over here (in Estonia) to first place the vertical strips of wood and then the horizontal ones above - this guarantees water can drip down if it gets behind the siding and also there is enough airflow for it to dry out. 4) Running wires diagonally on the walls? Hmm... But I'm just nitpicking here. It's really impressive to do something like this on your own. Thanks for sharing!

[@Coole-ee1vg]

Watch the videos:1. vapor barrier under the beams, 2. vapor barrier follows absolutely perfect from the bottom to the top.3 ?? 4. No problem with diagonal pipes with wires inside, I have worked as an electrician since I was 15 years and at 69 years this has never ever been a problem . I have worked in building villas, houses 2-20+ floors, office buildings , ships ( 1.500 pax) and much much more. Never been a problem.

loved watching the build. Im curious do you know what cause the fire?? Im sure this has been asked a bunch so sry if its annoying.

It can't be determined, I think someone lived in the house when it was empty for months, there are many indications of that
