Solo home foundation replacement

[@metaspencer]

A guy on KZbin who is not afraid to WORK and get stuff done in a 100% original way. Love it man.

[@Theonewhoknocks-s4b]

Did the algorithm also send him to you 3 years later?

[@timquirk7551]

Mujin x metaspencer colab let's go!

[@Janzer_]

more poop less soup

[@RyokuKitsune]

that was far more entertaining for a foundation repair than I thought it would be.

[@Anthony-zr2hn]

That 1st cement bag breaking after going down the slide had me in stitches (I feel like the equivalent always happens on every project I touch). This whole video was very well edited. Nice job on the wall too.

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

It was the “subscribe” right after it split that really sent me.

[@gordonpitts9382]

Yea that was nice to laugh alot😅!

[@catherinedufresne3543]

You are one of the hidden gems of youtube. Keep up the good work, small boy.

[@dkbuilds]

This video is epic. This project is epic. Mujin is a badass new god. "I decided a sassy little window would really tie this whole f**ing thing together" had me actually laughing out loud. I'm gonna post the link to this video in a few places to try to get it some more views. Keep up the great work, man.

[@nellelang]

incredible documentation here. i also LOL at the sassy window comment 😂

[@raymonddickson4295]

Thanks for making a tough job a hundred times harder by expertly filming it. This is a great fun way to chronicle your home remodel. I really DIG your style.

[@joygatewood8028]

found this on Reddit. Excellent. How anyone has so much energy to do this and create a video is a miracle. With the dark humor and metal licks too. Kewl.

[@hadrianaugustus5712]

You have the same time, you could do it also.

[@walkieTalker]

rebuild foundations, create a music video, and narrate it like it was written by Chuck Palahniuk.. cake walk

[@lich.possum]

Ya know if you hadn't said you came from reddit I could have guessed you came from reddit

[@generalstruggle1609]

Do WAY more of this. It's amazing. Subbed to see what will become of the "rainy day" brick.

[@mroregano1868]

"I decided to sassy a little window in there to really tie this whole fucking thing together" had me dying

[@Itssmial_Ova]

Criminally underrated channel, Thanks dude, Subbed.

[@disuba]

Your editing is so so original. I love that a remodel video can have whatever style and vibe you want. Conforming to the algorithm is what devolved into job applications where there’s two chat gtps reading each other. Thank you for breaking out.

[@mujinmakes]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@fart3312]

What an awesome video. Not sure how you don't have half a million subscribers so here is one towards that

[@FaceFaceMan]

I've had this in "watch later" for a couple of weeks now. Ridiculously amazing. You had me at death metal. And kept me through how I imagine Bob Ross would tell the inspectors what a footer should be.

[@blackmanops3749]

Damn. The most cinematic and "out there" home DIY I've ever watched. The video itself deserves an award. But so does the project which was no walk in the park.

[@johnleclair663]

Thanks for the very bad memories ! I did the very exact same thing about 10 years ago in NY - including opening up the hidden space and the dirt floor and outside house (in reality super hard clay to dig through) I think we hired the same home inspector. I took the easy way out - and built all the way up with cinder blocks only. No replacing the bricks. Great video. Thanks for a fun video and bad memories.

[@grandpateal]

When I have kids your videos will be part of their educational curriculum.

[@moth.monster]

Finally, someone who can give me proper brick facts. Half as Interesting could never.

[@astonishing-a]

Home reno work and some shredding in the basement, hell yes!! We get to sit back, enjoy and get secondhand satisfaction from a job well done while you put in the outrageous amount of effort with the job itself, filming and editing!! Keep it up

[@Brendissimo1]

Yo this was a piece of art

[@Landon-Ellis]

Wow! The combination of talents and humor on display in this video is super impressive. Subbed to see what else you’ve been up to in the last 3 years.

[@rude6371]

This is a really entertaining way to show people why they should just hire a professional instead.

[@zakzac1]

In a way he paid himself $30,000 worth of labor

[@tomboward963]

So glad it found your channel. You are crazy talented.

[@overkill300]

Absolutely worth the wait. I can’t believe you fucking did this on your own. Interlude was sick. Hell yeah brother 🤘🏻

[@MichaelSmith-xi4lu]

this video has way more effort put into it than any other video I've seen my whole life

[@online12plus]

hello sir I am a professional viewer and tell you hwat that's a good video you got there

[@FredrikTerning-cm2rt]

I'm assuming this man doesn't have kids. If he did during this renovation I'm inclined to believe he's not human. Having the energy to produce this whilst actually doing insane renovation and adding jokes is mind blowing to me.

[@TheJakem24]

Hey mate. Great work. Very talented. You can do carpentry, brick laying, play the guitar like an absolute weapon, great humour and a wizard at editing. This should have way more views.

[@andybeeeeeee]

You did a great job for a smol boy. Great video! I subbed as soon as the metal interlude hit.

[@guerrinlove69]

The remark about the 2x6 beams being the true heroes brought a tear to my eye 😢 i was rooting for them the whole time!

[@steven9492]

extremely entertaining, i have a calc 2 midterm coming up in a couple hours but I watched this instead of studying

[@makinitwork416]

out of all the foundation videos out there, this one has the best sound track!

[@MidwestMagicCleaning]

I just found your channel, and I absolutely love it. I really hope you keep making stuff like this because you were born for it.

[@mujinmakes]

Thank you so much - I'm certainly going to try!

[@adamruck]

Great project, and great video editing, memes, and music selection. Subbed. Now I just want a playlist of the music lol.

[@a104917]

Fast edits, subtly embedded dank memes, non-sequitur nihilistic quotes, heavy metal riffs, cinematic videography, humble and honest narration, underappreciated construction science body of knowledge, overly disclosed disclaimers. I am your target audience. Subscribed.

[@ConnorBlackwood]

Coming back from the concrete pour that almost killed you to watch your back catalog, I'll definitely be watching out for new videos in the future. Good craftsmanship, well edited videos, I'm a fan.

[@katiemoyer8679]

Midwest magic sent/referred me. Great job and I laughed so hard I woke family up❣️👌🤣

[@freeandeasy9795]

I’m not sure what I just watched! But, that was impressive and the added flavor of heavy metal, dark humor, and a horror film vibe… Two thumbs up!

[@brettlemoine3465]

Great job man.

[@j1j1j1j1j1]

Why does this not have millions of views? This is awesome. You are awesome, Mujin.

[@b00573d]

Came here from reddit...was not disappointed!

[@QuietEyedMind]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I really look forward to your next videos.

[@vovovovan]

This is some quality content, I too am an extreme DIYer and have found myself doing projects I’m far from qualified for, but this is on another level

[@johnjacobellis3864]

Job well done! Here in Connecticut you would have to use 10" blocks. 8" blocks are only permitted for crawl spaces.

[@reedjacksonmaccom]

24:48 wow indeed. Amazing. you are permitted to be “over it”. brutal labor levels. Bravo. Unreal edits and after effects

[@ALIVE-Company]

brother, I have been with my dad who's a plumber in basements tearing up concrete to remove drain pipe and I'm sending to this to him haha. The fact that you were able to have the willpower to do this on your own is astounding. Buy some more property and keep making videos like this. I got recommended from your video on doing the floor btw, I have been there with pouring but have yet to be flipped by a concrete mixer hahaha

[@NickWelch]

This is the coolest home improvement video I have ever seen. You should make more.

[@georgettedenholm477]

Well done lad, a LOT of hard work,but well worth the outcome. Also spat my tea out laughing at the cement slide.

[@thematt6705]

It sucks that there's a more popular channel spelled exactly the same as this one except the umlaut. This channel deserves way more recognition than that one.

[@mikie183]

More of these videos! This one was great! New sub!

[@AnAfriCanuck]

wtf, I think I just found my new favourite channel. I love the metal vibes 🤘

[@lich.possum]

Its crazy that a video about laying brick can be so entertaining i come back to it several days later to rewatch it

[@SCHAUDENLUCAS]

Even though I really struggled to watch the parts with music due to deviating personal taste, I do absolutely love your originality and as a supposedly professional video editor, I can imagine how much time you have invested filming and editing this. Very impressive! Keep it coming. You "wrestled" most of the hard work it takes to become a succesfull youtuber already, I think.

[@maverick2377]

You're so funny, I love finding channels like yours. It must be so hard to put this amount of effort into the editing and jokes so I immediately subscribed to show my appreciation

[@AngryDAP]

Wow, that's an incredible job! In New England, it's not allowed to use brick foundations for remodeling, but still, great work!

[@jforrest2140]

I'm just seeing this now. Your page is way underrated. Great work on your repair and subbed!

[@Juicyboi_]

old video and what not, but I'm so glad KZbin decided to recommend your most recent one. I have thoroughly enjoy all the ones I've seen so far. Your teaching and humor and editing is top notch. Keep going man, hope you're able to find more time.

[@mujinmakes]

Thank you!

[@44davewright]

Saw the floor video first, this one came up next....subbed for the shredding!!

[@carlosraluy6627]

This was incredible and this channel needs more love ! was that a alexi laihoi tribute in the middle ?

[@OverkillWoodcraft]

So I stumbled onto this from your IG and while I have zero interest in foundation work and my hardcore ADHD usually prevents me from ever watching a near 30 minute YT video, I was hooked. Epic stuff dude! I sub'd, liked, saved, tweeted, and all that other stuff. 🤘🏻

[@mujinmakes]

Thanks a ton!

[@Jack-es9xq]

Don't think I've ever seen such a determined mad man.

[@themetalfusionologist]

I subscribed just for the mind blowing editing. And the content was great too. How this channel only has 16K subs is beyond me.

[@OurBuild]

Nice work mate 🤙

[@wollaminfaetter]

Hands down (and hands up) the most entertaining build channel since ever.

[@mitchw3768]

Just the intro was hardcore, i watched the slab pour video first and you did excellent.

[@wanhliu552]

I never thought watching a long haired American playing Metallica would interest me as a Chinese living in the south of UK but it did, a lot ! Keep it coming, education and hilarious commentary. Love it !

[@mujinmakes]

Lol, glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching!

[@JohnVance]

"Well, that'd just be okay." I felt that in my soul

[@NightThings99]

great work. That is a big job for a DIY. You definitely have some experience and balls and this is not your first rodeo.

[@garretmkiii]

This has been ridiculous and informative. Thank you for your televised struggle.

[@williammoore4101]

I have watched this video on 3 different occasions. Dude, this is a perfect KZbin video: building, metal, good commentary, good editing. Mujin is the whole package. That video on printing presses should land him a job in television.

[@mujinmakes]

Thank you so much! Very appreciated

[@fredio54]

I have to do about 6 foot of light duty footing along the edge of a thin garage slab to support the wall which was sitting on raw dirt, rotten, and mouldy. Yay. Also french drain under and around it and across the backmof the slab too.

[@Paper_and_Light]

This is one of the most unique, hilarious and fully entertaining videos I've ever seen. Subscribed!

[@iamnotpresent]

Great video! Great death room in the basement. I think maybe the foundation wall started to collapse, and their solution was to build that wall and fill it w/ dirt to equalize the pressure on those bricks. Or maybe it was just a change during construction... (since the bricks didn't even touch the slab.. strange...)

[@mujinmakes]

Who knows? Wish i could go back in time and ask

[@NorroTaku]

i actually learned very much about bricks and bricklaying thanks 😁 also the music was good good!

[@mcfecknugget]

Wildly underrated this was so entertaining and interesting

[@franciscoyanescruz1866]

More construction videos please. This is gold.

[@sparcks2426]

This video is sick, thanks for the entertainment dude 10/10 on the work

[@GideonJordaan]

I love the editing! It was great to watch and super entertaining. Good luck with the renovations!

[@bwwilson1765]

Great work man! I have done this a few times in my career. Your work is especially impressive as an essentially a one man show. I'm not sure what you do for a living otherwise but you sure have put in the work to consider, research and implement the structural aspects that we see problems with daily. Kudos to a job well done, safely. You should be very proud!

[@mujinmakes]

Thank you very much!

[@Mitch4844]

Great video! The fantasia montage was a nice touch!

[@jackchronicler8690]

Great doing mate. Love how you kept at least a LOOK at the tedium of these projects in, really cool stuff!

[@stigkolstad6114]

Great production quality. Very informative and hits the sweet spot with a choice of music and a sense of humour.

[@mujinmakes]

Thank you!

[@shanemitchell7506]

A tough DIY job complicated more with filming worthy content, excellent humor, story content, editing, rants. All the way around great video! Most of all you were educational while keeping attention. one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin ever.

[@floydsmith2296]

I used to play that Disney alb in my bedroom as a kid. We had the entire set. I recognized the music instantly. Was sit called The Apprentice? Mickey was a sorcerer in training and filled up a basement with water.....obviously you listened to so I won't bore you. I said this in the comments to your ash bow saw video, but I'll say it again. You are very good at making videos. Very entertaining. I wish you'd make more of them. Anyway, great job. And thanks for the video. Be well.

[@volkhen0]

You should put XPS boards on the outside of foundation. Otherwise Great Job!!!

[@chitownbangin]

i love how the instructions got progressively more tripped out when the big part of the job started

[@dontmindme6171]

years late...but now my favorite channel

[@andrewthomas9614]

God tier DIY skills. Amazing!

[@AsdfCableGuy]

Happy this showed up in my algorithm, you’ve earned yourself a subscriber good sir

[@IHWKR]

Thank God Edgar was there to help. Emily barely did anything.😂 Great work

[@Here4TheHeckOfIt]

Very brave of you to tackle such an Incredibly crazy task! I wouldn't even know where to start. Very creative and entertaining video as well!

[@wtfshikyo]

This was far more entertaining than it had any right to be. Well done on the repair, and on the awesome video. Subbed.

[@b4ptist]

easily the most interesting DIY foundation/tire repair video in the galaxy.

[@gordonpitts9382]

Really crawling into the bricked up wall awesome!😅

[@sourdoughpretzels2000]

How do you have so few subscribers? Your content is absolutely fantastic. I loved the sorcerer’s apprentice reference!

[@lanky_leon1549]

This channel is violently underrated

[@traattatata7973]

What an underrated video, amazing job!

[@mujinmakes]

Much appreciated!

[@Sweeny_de]

criminally underrated video, should have alot more views. still having trouble jacking up my car tho

[@kyonFTW]

Editing and creating the concept is a piece of art.

[@OntarioLakeside]

Great video! I was inspired by your construction abilities and video skills. I was just about to hit the thumbs up when I remembered rule #6.

[@jimviau327]

You have my utmost admiration for tackling such humongous work. On the other hand, stuffing a window chassis in a supporting wall is a really bad idea. The chassis is to hold the windows, not the house. With time, the windows will get stuck and slide no more, even worse, possibly cracks. An empty space should have been left on top of the chassis and filled with insulation instead of concrete. Other means should have been implemented to support the top brick layers over the chassis, like a wooden or metal frame. Good job, anyway 🎉
