Don't stop posting videos, i am learning a lot. Thank you very much

[@MikeHarris1984]

So glad your back! Wish we would have seen the last back patio you were working on. Just finished demo and disappeared for a bit. So glad your back! Loving the videos!

[@briartodd9460]

You’re lingo is what makes these videos so good! Where are you from? I’m newer to your channel but have been enjoying these videos!

[@MattBangsWood]

Middle of California.

@@MattBangsWood Well nice to know! I’m in the Midwest, but love your channel my man!

Thank you for all your videos. I learned so much from you.

Maaaaaaattttttttt !!!!! Whr yat ??

[@garylatture8948]

I’m from NE Tenn and it is shocking what the cost is in California, especially the permits. Enjoyed your KZbin

[@hvy1ton]

A few tips since you're new to running a hydraulic breaker; Don't dry fire the breaker. Keep the tip close to perpendicular to the concrete. Never pry with the tip. Moving loose stuff is ok, but still less than ideal. Like you figured out, using the mini to sort out the concrete and find anything that need is additional hammering is much better.

Very nice video

Hey I’m finishing the plumbing a remodel one street over from your project. I enjoy your videos keep up the great work! Jvp

[@ridge1146]

matt come back bro we need new vids

[@freedomforamericans1174]

Would love to see some old school mattbangswood. Some raw framing footage of you guys tearing it up!!

[@raymondheckard234]

It looks like it would have been cheaper to do a full tear down and a new rebuild.

[@MattBangsWood]

The cost difference isn’t crazy, a one-wall remodel permit would have sufficed.

[@cameronhesling6189]

Also a bigger digger bucket is needed next time I think🤣

[@MattBangsWood]

Could have used a bigger machine, definitely. 600SF of home though coming out, didn’t justify getting something else.

Good eye, haven’t a clue what Larry was doing.

[@darrelstickler]

I recommend watching West Coast Custom Concrete channel for how to demo concrete. He works much faster/smarter. SoCal. Maybe hire him next time to demo and pour.

[@guavas66]

Haven't watched in a while, wondering if Fox still works with you guys? Love the content! Aloha from Hawaii🤙

[@copyingthenews1137]

Hello sir enjoy your videos Question can I get some insight on a project I have going on ??

[@SolidMikeP]

In the Bay Area, a concrete box like that is about $650.00

[@terencemerritt]

Dry fire all day lol

[@gordonclark7632]

Good day from Australia Matt. Was wondering how you account for things like a buried driveway in your calculations? Does the home owner or a house plan show you that there was something under the footings which you didn't know about? Obviously the neighbour knew there was a driveway under there.

[@MattBangsWood]

Homeowner is new to owning this property, so they were unaware. Engineer and Architect weren’t aware either. Neighbor was around the neighborhood long enough to know how it all happened. It’s change ordered and handled, as it isn’t something we had planned to deal with.

[@iplayoldschoolrunescape]

You kind of remind of that white kid from the movie Shot Caller whos trying to sell guns with the gang and stuff lol.

Great videos What are you going to do about the existing slab 1” out of level? Your dad took his level out in the first video. Way off.

[@MattBangsWood]

That foundation came out, it’ll be removed and repoured correctly.

[@DoubleDoubleWithOnions]

Dang, where you been?

Ripped my stomach open, took a good bit of Q1 off.

[@lorenrickey5481]

@@MattBangsWood Damn, that’s crazy.

[@CascadePacificNW]

How? What happened?

[@cameronhesling6189]

Surely it would of been easier to rip the whole building down and start fresh? Also where’s fox is he still working for you?

[@MattBangsWood]

Lot of legality around this for permitting. Can get through permitting cheaper this way. New home permitting in CA can range from $30-100K so people use remodel permits often. Sometimes it’s single wall, other times around 50%.

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

What happened? Did you complete this project?

[@vincegarza3701]

You shouldn't dry fire with the breaker!!

[@MattBangsWood]

Good to know, I’m glad it was a rental!

[@alyssaround5178]

Hey Matt what type of gun do you use for hangers or straps

[@jerryminyard7460]

Careful hitting that breaker without it being in the concrete, it'll ruin it real fast.

[@MattBangsWood]

Glad to know that, little late, but hey, thankfully it was a rental!

[@elvergia3714]

Where is fox does he still work with you

[@addyreid4629]

When will the next video be

[@MattBangsWood]

Every 3-4 days until it’s sided.

[@tpep1693]

From the looks of this, and I have been on similar "remodel's", that the whole place should have been razed, and start over, would have bee a better job. Just saying.

[@Rambleon444]

How is it not easier and cheaper to just bulldoze the whole house and start from scratch with better plumbing, electrical...?

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Sometimes it has to do with permitting rules. For instance here in Austin Texas, if I do a 49% remodel, that is to say only spend 49% of the value of the house on the remodel, I get to keep the old setback and percentage of coverage rules for instance. If I start fresh, I may have to use 15 for setbacks and only cover 65% of the property. Under the old rules, I have five foot setbacks and no limit to coverage. So while a rebuild might be cheaper, I’m working against a much more prohibitive set of building codes and land use rules. Thus in certain older neighborhoods, you see successive remodels every five years to stay under the grandfathered rules. Plus, the city is really frowning on the tear downs. You are having to keep the street front elevations the same in some older neighborhoods. This keeps the California refugees from coming in, buying two houses next two each other and tearing them down to build their McMansion.

[@chriswild2458]

Here in the Uk if you knock down and build from scratch you don’t pay VAT (value added tax presently 20%) plus some planning volume advantages so lots of new build here

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

Have you guys done something like this before? Or is this new to you guys?

[@MattBangsWood]

I much prefer new construction, but we’ve stripped homes down for reno like this many times. This one was damn near tear down, part of me wishes we did.

[@MattBangsWood]

I’ll be happy when we’re forming. Can’t stand demo / dirt. Least favorite part of building.

[@Tom-sd5ru]

We need a cameo from fox every now and then

[@MattBangsWood]

I’ll drag him over here, I just talked with him the other day.
