TIMELAPSE - From DUMP to DREAM HOUSE in 10 minutes

This is a timelapse of my project as General Contractor of my own house build. I learned a lot but think I did a pretty solid job. Check it out.

[@superspeeders]

If you timestamp any questions about the construction i'll answer them in this post.

0:03 What was wrong with the old place. The very short clip of it before it was torn down didnt really give much content to it. But from what I saw, The old house looked Nice.

[@Lintary]

8:04 the lighting behind those transparrant tiles, do you still have easy access to replace it? I know LEDs technically last a long time, but not forever and those tube lights tend to fail more than other styles of fixtures. Do love the effect it has though, there is so much you can do with modern LED lighting to create unique styles and patterns these days and not enough of it is being exploited.

10:14 Incredible job GC this project. What was the final build cost and how much do you think you saved by being the GC?

[@philsephton]

4:57 what were you drinking why you sat down on the boxes of flooring? 😂

[@suzyrottencrotch5132]

Looks great. Well done

[@jeffreysalzman1497]

Wow that is a dream house. I can't imagine what it was like to get all those contractors organized. The results are awesome.

[@superspeeders]

No such thing as organization with construction, it's more like herding cats chasing subcontractors around.

Cost about millions to build

I see your house on my daily commute. Beautiful home and location Rob 👍🏼

[@Sebis527]

What a beautiful home! I love that the house isn’t monstrously large or anything, very well utilized space. Great design choices!

[@simplymonica6888]

These men should be proud of their work in the end. What an amazing process to see and to see all of these hard people involved in bringing your dream home to reality. Good job everyone!

[@ericwsmith7722]

The key to a successful build is knowing what you want before you start to build it. And Rob would be happy to know that his house is worth about 25% more done, than what it would have cost if someone else did the project management. Good job, well done.

[@mrscolonyrabble]

OK, as a preservationist, I admit my heart stopped a little watching that little cottage come down in the beginning, but there is no argument that this is an INCREDIBLE house, and I hope your family has made it into a happy home. Great design and execution. Well done! And the video is oddly satisfying to just sit and watch....good with my coffee this morning.

[@jewelgaither1504]

I would have liked to see the inside of the little cottage. I think it looked like you could sit on the porch of the little house and be quite at home. It was sad to see it demolished. The other house was nice, but it could have been built somewhere else and preserve the little home.

[@randomviking8676]

@@jewelgaither1504 I agree!!

[@dartheater7348]

How many sq feet is the house?

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

@@jewelgaither1504 I think they could have added on to the cottage instead of completely removing it. I’m all for preserving buildings if it’s reasonable to do so.

[@muniman9527]

@@jewelgaither1504 That cottage was a piece if sh!t, probably damp rotted and all else…. Needed to be torn down and the house that was built was a work of art…. Well done to the contractor homeowner

[@hardipusa]

Rob finished his house faster than Shivam's evo!

[@One_don2612]

Good one 🤣🤣

[@myaccount__7269]

That evo needs to be stripped and sold for parts. End of story

[@ericwsmith7722]

Whats annoying is that the paperwork takes more time than the actual build

[@I_killed_that_beard_guy]

Who is Shivam?

[@arpwcos2011]

Shizam!

[@MrGlockshna]

Been following this build since day one, cool to finally see it finished so many years later.

[@richardpena3944]

Congratulations Rob! I wish you and your family many beautiful years in this beautiful home! I'm super blessed to have bought my 1st home at 26 now at nearly 40 my wife and I are in the process of building our dream home in upstate NY. My brother's and I still own one of the most famous homes in the BX and the most unique waterfront home on city island. If your ever out on the water it's the big gray one across from orchard Beach. Please stop in for the regular weekend festivities! Congratulations again!

[@peterzeller5736]

Speechless, the amount of work and detail you put into this is next level. Incredible build!

[@RyGuy1538]

Wow, this turned out great! Love the sauna/steam room in the master bath and the wine cellar lounge in the basement.

[@9168TimGlass]

Your details are impeccable, you have great taste. Absolutely loved the ceilings & wall treatment throughout the house.

[@7urbine]

Turned out great!! Thanks for the time lapse! I'm sure it felt great finally checking this video off the list

[@Poorschedriver]

Awesome job Rob. I too just built my dream home during a pandemic and it is certainly no small feat. You house came out amazing.

[@arminfejzulai1321]

As a long time subscriber, I'm truly happy for you and your family! Thanks for the great content Rob!

[@susanstreet1]

I nearly cried,the house is wonderful,I would be happy just to see new build in Britain meet,do the same, regards the ceiling height and not being unhealthy to low. A great house👍👍👍

[@annabeckman4386]

Wow! this was fascinating! I didn't realize just how much work went into building a house from the ground up!! Beautiful inside and out!!

Europeans in the comments: iMaGiNe bUiLdInG a HoUsE oUt oF wOoD.

[@Lintary]

They are building 10+ story apartment complexes out of wood here in europe, so yeah can be done.

[@hrussell9677]

Depends on where you live. In the south more houses are built of brick. The Northeast built houses of wood first because of the forests. You use the material that is most economical. Silly comment.

[@turbospeedqualifier9725]

Looks like the house set up is coming along great so far and looks to be just the right size for a dream house! I gotta say you definite earned it!

[@audiboy777]

That onyx wall is dope, very nice taste throughout.

[@ImportDomestic2006]

Congratulations Rob on finishing your dream home. It’s beautiful.

[@70sgirl42]

All I can say is, it must be nice! I hope they enjoy this home to the fullest!❤

[@dianethompson9525]

It’s amazing what goes into building a house! No wonder it takes so long!

[@michelfortier9563]

I built my own house years back and it wasn't as arduous as one would think. It's like putting together a puzzle. A good sub will offer help making it a little easier. You didn't skimp. I also foam insulated my home. Only way to go. I live in Houston therefore no basement but the heat in the summer is a killer. Anyway, great job!

[@jobskinner833]

What a great, well-built house. Beautiful and nicely appointed. Great attention to details. Love the video and the home.

[@rhdbmw9361]

Wow. That is a dream home. Congrats on the build. Happy for you and your family. Can't wait to see the garage! 🚗💨

Not really renovation, they literally removed the old house and built a brand new one

The diversity in the musical score alone was worth a watch. Also love the coffer ceilings and shadow-boxing on the walls.

[@chrisS19019]

Aw man I loved that cottage. What a cool place. I’m sure it was not fit for modern living but it wasn’t made to. Beautiful new home just hurts seeing what was someone’s pride and joy many years ago become decrepit. Times change and it fucking sucks

loved it even more when i saw the outdoor rink

[@EspenX]

Facinating to see how you build houses in America. Looks efficient. And interesting to see how everywhere where stone used, it is only a veneer. No actual handicraft or traditional building techniques are used, it is just made to look like it.
