We sold our house, touring the old home.

Touring our old house on Starwood road in Ottawa. The house sold in 6 hours and over asking price.

[@pineapple9238]

So I used this video to make a CAD model of the house. Now I can print out some templates and cut it out on the band saw...

[@ipullstuffapart]

Using BigPrint

[@Forkin]

That sound pretty creepy, can you share it with us?

[@thisismyname1920]

What program did you use?!?

[@dozer1642]

Special K it was a joke.

[@thisismyname1920]

It was a reference to the endless question which results in the same answer: "SketchUp."

[@peggyt1243]

Thank you Matthias. This video gives us all an opportunity to say goodbye to the house. I remember many of your home improvement projects.

[@saleemalkinani3496]

peggyt1243 yes I really will miss this house I have been in touch with matthiass video for 6 years. he is my teacher he is part of my life god bless him

[@carlreed1000]

if it is getting torn down see if you can get hold of all the lumber as its tossed- would be good to make stuff from your recycled recyclables :)

Matthias is rich now...forget that splintery cracked dumpster lumber, hello Lowe's store bought lumber.

[@johnniewalker39]

I'm gonna miss the basement shop. After so many videos shot there...

[@markh5364]

sad to see the house go, but new adventure awaits

[@MarcKulhavy]

I had do smile a lot when I realized how many projects I could remember having seen the video of. Nice memories, but I am looking forward to see new and exiting things happening at the new place.

[@streetmagic35]

Matthias I have been a faithful follower of your videos since about 2012. And after watching for so long i had pretty much learned myself where you kept most things in your shop. Now you are on to a new space and I must say it is slightly emotional to think about not seeing this work space in your videos anymore. Now on to bigger and better things and a new chapter of your life and I am so glad you enjoy your fans enough to bring them along for the ride. Godspeed Garrett

[@MariusHornberger]

Without all the equipment and right camera angels, the shop seems a lot smaller then I thought all the time.

[@Perspectologist]

This was nice. I appreciate the closure and look forward to future projects in your new space.

[@Don.Challenger]

Matthias, wonderful house tour just like yours of your parent's cottages. I half expected when you entered the house to see those wooden door knobs and locks. Yes a cool basement on a hot summer day.

[@jimkodysz5404]

Thanks for the tour! I'm glad you sold it so fast! Good luck in your new home.

[@heberbarbosa7510]

I found your place on Google maps, and discover: we are in the same neighborhood just a few 8.900 kilometers, come some day for a coffee with biscuits...

[@EricEllenbrook]

Creep

[@chilldog1234567890]

my house is about 8901KM away from his. May be you and I can get together some times.

[@Korgon2013]

I feel like I learned so much in that house! Good luck, can't wait to see what comes from the new shop!

[@RickRose]

Thanks for showing the old house. Putting the familiar shop in perspective was interesting to me.

[@teton99]

My wife and me moved from the city to the country and we luv it! You may miss your "cozy shop," but in the long run you'll have a lot more space and potential with your new larger shop. And now you'll have all kinds of projects for your new house and shop and getting it how you guys want it. Have a good one at your new place!

[@johnkidd3975]

Congratulations on the sale Matthias, time for a new chapter. Nice to have it sell so quickly, enjoy your new home

[@wavin612]

Sad to see the workshop go! Thanks for making the video about the move.All the best on settling into the new place. Looking forward to all the new projects. I hate change myself but it's a good thing!

[@SiraLeo]

This video makes me sad. It is a page of history that is turning. I loved much this place where we could see the seasons spent since all these years.

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Matthias , Congratulations! You're movin on up. Great to see you and the internet evolve.

[@Wordsnwood]

Fun tour, thanks. 100ft wide lots are gold. Wish I had a wider lot! But I agree that a basement shop can be SO convenient.

[@MrBrian43119]

Buyer: 450,000 is too much Agent: this is Matthias Wandel's house Buyer: I'll give you 465,000.

[@jenbeatty8067]

Great vid. Thank you for sharing Matthias.

[@Mdreaume]

Love to see your new house and new workshop as you build it, love your work M!

[@robert3302]

We are all looking forward to how you transform your new house. Years of fun!

[@jamesdewald339]

Matthias, Jimmy, Bob, and David. All moving. This is literally a maker movement.

[@woody426]

Izzy is moving too

[@CluelessEngineer]

James DeWald which David?

[@CluelessEngineer]

Joe whats his channel?

[@DanielinLaTuna]

I hear Zac is thinking about moving too

[@RGTee]

Good for you and your family. Take the money and run! I too will miss that cozy little shop as well.

[@keikuru1]

Congratulations Matthias, happy for you and your family.

[@pierrec1590]

Most heartfelt congratulations!

[@meetn2veg]

Memories! Sadness? End of an era! But with 99.9% of endings there's always a beginning! Excitement. Plans. Dreams. Can't wait for your next video! Good luck Matt :-)

[@TheLurker]

Man. The same thing happened to the house I grew up in Ottawa - bought for a ridiculous price for the huge lot, unrecognizable now. We had a big garden and a plum tree too - we never got plums, though. Too cold, and too much shade. But man, it smelled amazing in the spring. Thanks for the tour!

[@Giaka]

I was thinking that I recognized almost all the projects in the house. I'm watching your videos for a long time!

[@dakel20]

Gonna miss that old place... Glad its gonna get a little extra life at least.. Can't wait to see your new place though!

[@gregtrim2356]

Best of luck with your new home! I enjoy all your videos.

[@jeffstanley4593]

Brought back old memories seeing things you made long ago.

[@rbeehner2]

I am looking forward to a video tour of your new place, new work shop, etc. It would be enjoyable to hear Racheal's views about the new homestead too. It was fun watching her build that dispenser.

[@aleblanc3547]

I don't know how you can remember all those dates. Fantastic tour, Matthias.

[@BaconSniffer578]

Shame it's getting torn down, you might've got a blue plaque 'Matthias Wandel lived here - KZbin superstar'

[@Yonatan24]

That makes him sound dead. I need Matthias for at least 120 more years of my life.

[@triboy4425]

Congrats Matthias and hope to view your new video soon.

[@noisytim]

Hey nice! Congratulations!! Sold after six hours on starting price is amazing!

[@ryPish]

New house means lots of new projects, that's good news all around!

[@joeshmoe8912]

I really liked that table that you built. Good luck in your new to you home.

[@youboubobable]

Thanks for the tour....good luck on your new place...

[@Petertronic]

This is a really nice video. I will miss your old workshop too, it feels like I've spent a lot of time in it just from watching your videos over the years. That table top is fantastic, I'd love it if you could re-create that for a video someday! Good luck with your new house.

[@blakeworsham3026]

450,000 canuckistan pesos, that is a hot market.....

[@BenKempa]

blake worsham Keep your stick on the ice!

[@MazeFrame]

About triple what you would pay arround here...

[@thebeststooge]

Considering how small the house and lot is I agree or at least I could buy twice as much in size for both for less than that where I live in the USA and it is in the city as well.

[@iliketobuildstuff7013]

consider that the canukistan pesos are worth very little in comparison to the gold bills you guys are using when comparing housing prices.

[@blakeworsham3026]

iliketobuildstuff .75 of a freedom dollar.

[@tmp8484]

Congratulations, good luck with the new place!

[@rayleder3705]

wow, that backyard is massive!

[@justinofboulder]

Congratulations on the quick sale! Home sales here in Colorado are pretty insane as well.....two of my properties have doubled in value in the past three years.....

[@LostWhits]

I loved that your walls were green.

[@1976ClassicCelica]

Congrats on the quick sale. The fastest I sold my house was 3 days before listing here in B.C. We just bought a house in Port Alberni BC on Vancouver Island (6 bed with 2 car garage in town on a 7600 sqft lot) for $200,000. Five minutes to the ocean. Can't wait to see the new place.

[@barryl8857]

Now you need to set up your shop. Looking forward to the tour of your new one.

[@ReallyWemja]

Good luck with the last bit of the move, I hope everything went ok up until now.

[@bclarkca9113]

Congrats on the quick sale!

[@Ian_Hay]

I don't know Ottawa well - I never lived there - but I'm somewhat familiar with that neighbourhood. My grandmother lived maybe 6-7 blocks away from your (now former) place. Fond memories of modest houses on quiet, leafy, sleepy large lots. Kinda too bad that the lot might be split and/or a more imposing home (or two) might be built there. But if it needs updating, it needs updating. Congrats on the quick sale, and here's to upgrading your A/C in the new place before July and August kills you!

[@RiccardoPelc]

Interesting Video, Here in London we sold our house for slightly less than market value ensuring it was a family buying it and NOT a developer. Looking forward to all the new home mod videos !

[@3000batman]

Riccardo Pelc-wesoly ii

[@sheriftaha4919]

we all belong to that house, wish you the best on the next one.

[@johnheitke7617]

Seeing this reminds me of the old adage "There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix"

[@cando9609]

Oh wow! I used to know that area well! I found the video fascinating not only because it's cool to give some of your projects and videos some context but when I was a kid I stayed for a bit at my Grandparents just off Merrivale Rd. I'd ride my bike to my friends house on Tower (using the "short cut" and then we'd ride up to hang with our other friend who lived on Granton. Probably rode by your future place on a daily basis. Brings back some fun memories, so it's a cool video for me on more than just one level. Thanks for sharing and all the best in your new digs. :)

[@Dumplin42]

Congratulations!!

[@polhub1]

End of an era, sad... I'm sure we'll grow fond of his new shop. Thanks Matthias for the behind the scenes

[@migi7831]

I only subscribed maybe a month ago tops, but it still hits me hard to see the workshop completely emptied out

[@justViewerFun]

I'm going to miss that basement. Nice to see what the rest of the house was like.

[@Alan.livingston]

Selling & buying at the moment myself. Most exciting bit so far is the chance to start a new shop from scratch.

[@refusedone]

good luck in the new home!

[@GraysonMontPetit]

wow nice to know we are from the same place enjoy your videos

[@nealcalvert1153]

those drying hooks above the door are genius.... that an idea I'm 'borrowing'.

[@tommiestrydom973]

cool. good luck on the new phase of your life.

[@josephbohme7917]

So hard to believe you could make a studio, a shop, and a living in such a small place. 1000 sq ft would have been an excuse for most of us. You have an amazingly organized mind. All you need is a good marketing manager, unless you are clearing 6 figures after taxes and expenses. You & your family deserve more. One for patience, two for not swearing.

[@RimstarOrg]

Sad to see the house go. Besides all the awesome stuff made in the workshop, some good food was cooked in that kitchen!

[@fred4513]

congrats on the sale ! we all can't wait for a tour of the new place ! but now it starts all over again eh?

[@Dunlak]

I cant believe i lived like two blocks away from you when i went to Algonquin college. Small world.

[@EmiDK]

Great video. Quite interesting to hear about. 😊

[@danvalleskey]

Sad if they take that down. Crazy home prices do that stuff I guess. Best of luck and happiness in your new place!

[@DBODIN2]

"had to say at the old place because it was sweltering hot" - here in Texas rolling my eyes. My neighbors garbage bin melted the other day.

[@brianbishop4753]

DBODIN2 it’s about perspective

[@davidwostrel]

you are very good with your timing, i read that the canadian housing buddble is going to pop soon :) so good on you!!! have fun with retirement in the country

[@WoodChipLiz]

I just realized you've lived 15 minutes from my home for almost 10 years

[@Molb0rg]

was about to see first few minutes, just to get in touch with the situation, ended up watching the whole video. :D

[@chriscarr82]

Small world. Im in Texas now and picked up on the woodgears channel a few years ago but didnt know where you were in CA. I lived a few blocks away within walking distance going to Algonquin in 2001-2004.

[@joshuamiddleton5274]

That is expensive for that tiny old house damn! You scored

[@peggyt1243]

That is land value. The house will be torn down.

[@thebeststooge]

Considering how small the house and lot is I agree or at least I could buy twice as much in size for both for less than that where I live in the USA and it is in the city as well.

[@dylanw8823]

Cheap for the Canadian suburbs these days.

[@rippermcguinn]

Ottawa Ontario Canada.

[@ThunderClawShocktrix]

Its the location odds are they well tear the roof off and make it a 2 story house or jsut tear it down and build totlay new

[@Rouverius]

Congrats!

[@topgundk]

Congrats with the fast sale

[@dave597]

it seems like u undersold it by quite a bit - all the furniture inside it is priceless! :)

[@grantdm]

Congrats on the sale.

[@PsyMongazoid]

Hope you're going to show us your new place and plans for your new workshop!

[@maxximumb]

It also has Wandel mods installed. I'd buy it if I lived in Canada. The land of Matthias and AvE.

[@markanderson8066]

congratulations!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I think you should make a video making a similar wooden toy sword! It is awesome!

[@guitarpunk200]

Congratulations on selling your house!!!

[@hasmukhvpatel4539]

Congratulation and wish you Super life Ahead with your Family and most wishing you for Your Dream Hi-tech Work shop,God Bless you.

[@1873Winchester]

House seems to be an ideal size to me, considering it has a basement.

[@hyperborean.]

Wow. Today is July 17th, 2017, your closing date. Good luck with your new house.

[@tiitsaul9036]

Thanks for sharing. My house is worth similar to yours(Australia). But your house has basement and awesome kitchen.

[@josephadams5993]

Room to grow. Enjoy your new digs.

[@minecrafthardkore]

I really think this should go on your main channel. it was like walking through all your videos seeing this.

[@fractalaudio4956]

Looking forward to your new shop and new projects!

[@AnaloguePhoto]

Great house. The size is a strength :-)

[@FriggOff361]

i baught my house the same time u sold this one, Thank god i baught when i did and so did u

[@tevfikevyurt3407]

Mütiş bir yeteneğe sahipsiniz.Sizi ilgiyle takip ediyorum.Çok teşekkürler Mattihias başarılar.Kendine iyi bak.

[@DustinTheNinja]

Based Matthias. Selling at the height of the housing bubble.

[@duane1234561]

Wow you are lucky you found a wife who likes things that are made of wood.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Good sell (I suppose)! Congratulations! I like these "contemporary" solutions a lot. When somebody says after five years or so "Wasn't that meant to be contemporary?" I reply "Nearly everything is contemporary, even we are. Come back in 2100 and you'll see if it is still there."
