I don’t even know you and I’m proud of you.
Lol😂
😂😂😂
This was so satisfying. I love all the attention to detail;great job.
HAHA
@@Aisucksyeah，no speed up
no talking, no music, just hard work. perfection.
Agreed
The attention to detail is insaneee, he painted the wall & deck to make it look extra good when done! I'd hire this guy for any project!
Thanks Emma, much appreciated!
Why was I emotional watching this, GREAT job!
I don't know but I am going to take it as a compliment. 😀 Thank you!
Man, you got to appreciate this guys patience and diligence. That's a hell of a job to do by yourself.
I like the way you did this...just working, no talking. It was easy enough to understand without the narration. It looks wonderful! I hope you and your family enjoy this pretty outdoor space!💕💕💕
@@DGL5762 Agree. The silence was nice.
Sir I could literally watch you build anything all day everyday!!! It’s called damn you do pristine work!!! Love the way you edited this vid. Just showing the process and no talking. Unintentional ASMR haha. I can’t believe you just happened upon that circular stone piece in the woods. I think I’d call that divine intervention my friend. Looking forward to many more like this!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Melissa! Thanks so much, I really appreciate your comment! The bonfire fits perfectly on top of the stone, it's a great fit!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Haha yes it certainly is. I wrote the comment before the end of the video so now I know that you knew it was there but still what a great fit!!! Superb job as always!!!
Forget the circular saw...just get the chain saw! I love it
I definitely loved the silent no commentary style. Would like to see more like that
Fantastic job. And realistic for normal people on normal budgets. Hope you enjoy it.
Excellent work. Hard worker. Didn’t spend a fortune. Looks amazing.
I don’t care what anyone says this is the best way to work at home in peace and I have done something’s around my home some good projects and some not so good but just being out there is therapeutic 😊
It was very satisfying watching you methodically create the patio and freshen up your yard. There's so much to do in my own yard, and it was nice to see someone make progress, even if it's not me!
I loved the no commentary! Before this video I started watching one with a couple building a deck and their commentary was so over the top I lasted 10 minutes of a 39 minute video. Yours was perfect, I saw all the info I needed 👍👍
Looks amazing!! We just overhauled 3 huge flower beds, rebuild our front deck/porch and reseeded a section of our grass that was all weeds by our sidewalk so I can appreciate the huge amount of work you just did in this video. You always make it look easy meanwhile there I am red faced and dying doing my stuff 😂
Awesome, that's a huge project! Don't worry, I was tired too. 😂
Not to take away from the beautiful work this man did on his yard, but that's even more amazing that your work taxes you like that and yet you're still out there getting it done. Good stuff SaltySeed 👍
You did the best job! My back was killing me just watching those tree roots lol! Such a good video showing the whole process! I think this might work for my parents yard! Thanks VM👏👏👏
Thank you. Now I have what I need to know for my project. At first I was annoyed for the silence but then you talked at the end of your video. 😄
I must say, that patio looks brilliant and very inviting and comfortable.
I did miss the commentary, but what you said at the end made sense. Great job and great filming 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
Beautiful work and I enjoyed just quietly watching. Great job!
I foresee A LOT of relaxing family and friends time there. Beautiful job. Your sad plant is a daffodil bulb, I think. It’s doing it’s thing by dying back as spring turns to summer. Plant taller bulbs in the back, shorter bulbs in the front (like crocus) and a few perennials in the middle like more peony (the pink flowering plant already there) and hosta. Thanks for saving the existing peony.
Thanks for the info! I don't have a green thumb in the flower department. 😂
Love the outcome but will say that I personally enjoy narration instead of the ASMR stuff. I like to hear you explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, etc. Totally get why you may have switched it up and tried this ASMR thing but just giving my two cents in case you were hoping for feedback to gauge if you should do more.
Yes I appreciate the feedback! I like to try new stuff every now and again. No worries, I am not pivoting to an ASMR channel haha just worked out for this project so I thought I would give it a shot. Thanks!
Very helpful video; we're thinking about doing a similar project in our backyard and this gave me a good sense of how to get started, thank you!
From what I could see, the plant that "looks a little sad" is probably a daffodil bulb, which will regrow/rebloom in the spring. If it didn't bloom this year, it probably didn't have enough sunlight; you can always dig it up and plant it somewhere sunnier if you like.
Thank you! I will try that!
I love watching your videos. I used to watch my father work when I was a kid, he could do anything, (I always said he was Superman)you are like him.
I love your videos. Whether you narrate or you just work, you’re an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Man, the way you have basically rebuilt your house entirely is something to be admired.
I'm still pretty young (22) and it would be my DREAM to buy a house that needs work, just to update it myself.
Awesome! That's a lot of hard work! You did a fantastic job!!
I agree
First time viewer, and I am beyond impressed. Just watching you work was so meditative. I sure hope someone gave you a cold beer, a big hoagy and a backrub after all that. I can only imagine how nice it must look at night with that firepit going.
You do excellent work & made it look so easy I hope you enjoy your deck & patio for a long time to come. This video was so awesome to watch & I learned so much from it. Thank you for sharing your skills.
finally a video that I could leave the volume up on. No chippy background music, no attempts at cutesy commentary with your arms flailing about, just work. Good job!
Fantastic job. You are a hard and dedicated worker. I see that you can do anything you set your mind to do. Dare I say that you are a perfectionist. That is a good thing. You remind me of my son. Can do anything and a perfectionist.
Man! You ain’t stressing about anything. You work peacefully. Good work , clean project
We absolutely love the remodel!!! We would like you to go back to speaking during your filming though because it makes us feel like part of the process and then we get to know the little details better. A lot of your previous videos gave us a bunch of pointers for our own remodel, so please go back to talking to the camera during the process and tell us what you are doing!
You're videos bring me and my fiancé so much peace and inspiration, thank you!
This turned out so nice! Great job and ideas all the way around! I’m super impressed!❤❤❤
You did great, everything looks amazing.
This is beautiful. Definitely motivating me to get some yard projects done in the following week. Love it!!! 💪🏽🙏🏽
Interesting approach with no editorial commentary by you. I miss your usual catch phrase at the beginning 'And we're going to do it right now'. But, seriously, I like your approach either way - with comments or without. Thanks and continued good luck with your projects and your family. Sincerely yours.
Thanks Scott!
Matt, holy cow my dude! Your new outdoor room is amazing. You already had the best house on the block...you've taken it to a whole new level now!
Also, I like the no commentary style, but I prefer the comments. I've learned so much from you by the way you describe what you are doing.
This is very impressive.....and calming to watch. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 😁
You are amazing can't believe you did it by yourself making the job look so cool it turn out beautifully all even no mistakes .Sorry you don't live in the Caribbean. You are a genius 👏🏻 👏🏻 👍🏼.
Amazing job! Looking forward to your new home remodel.
This is my life right now - old house, digging up roots and rocks everywhere
This was like a fine meditation. No words needed. Men are amazing.
Amazing, methodical work!! Such a beautiful space 🌿
It looks amazing, you did your thing.🙏🙏
You have proven once again that you are a genius. i love your work. Many lovely greetings from germany ❤❤❤❤
We have a fire pit and kids play area with pea stone. It is great, weeds can’t get a foothold, you just grab a rake and smooth it out once a year and it looks brand new. Any pea stones that get kicked onto the grass, will just get absorbed into the dirt and disappear.
I always admire what you do...your a craftsmen....hugs
Make sure u get off the tools long enough to enjoy that with your family. - another carpenter. Also happy belated birthday
Definitely trying to do that! Thanks Andrew 😃
Just AMAZING!!! Can’t believe I just watched this from start to finish and I didn’t care about the narration. I was glued. You did an epic job, keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Hey! Thanks so much for the support, I really appreciate it! 😃
Ah, that took me back to one afternoon where I had a job shoveling and wheelbarrowing a few yards of gravel in 105 degree heat..... fun times, fun times.....
😂
OK, I have to say I missed the "and were going it...right now". But, wow, you got a lot of work done in one day. Oh, wait, you just wore the same clothes over multiple days. 😮
The patio looks awesome! Looks like a great space to spend time with the family. Enjoy.
My closet is basically Fixer shirts. 😂
Looks like you and I have the same friends helping with projects. Great job.
Keep watering the grass all summer and it will thicken up just fine. It may take a full year for it to really settle in. Looks great!
Thanks for the tip, Mark!
It may be sparse at first with a lot of annual weeds...just continue to water, mow them down, use a weed & feed and overseed bare spots if needed. Rule of thumb with new lawns and plantings...1st year they sleep, 2nd year they creep and 3rd year they leap.
@@rjo2269 Awesome. Thank you. I don't exactly have a green thumb so I appreciate the advice!
Thanks for doing this. Love the no frills, no nonsense, just-do-it approach. Kudos, brother.
Working on the storage/ woodshed today. Just finished with my raised bed garden. Feel for you with the shovel work, filled raised bed by shovel and five gallon bucket. 20 yards worth turned out great though. Love the patio
Wow! That is an insane amount of buckets haha
@The Fixer it was. We need to see the fire pit in all its glory next time. Lol
Blow this thing up! This video is good for so many reasons and needs to go viral. Way to go Matt!!!
Thanks so much, Allegra! 😃
@@TheFixerHomeRepair you're so welcome. Always love your content but this was a whole new level.
My man puts his heart and soul into his work. Respect brother. ✊
Thanks!
Fantastic job. I have the marshmallows, Hershey's chocolate bars, and graham crackers....what time should we be there? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 No, but seriously, absolutely beautiful place to relax and unwind. Hope you enjoy yourselves. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼
😂
Your kids are going to have lots of fun filling a pail with rocks that they will distribute throughout your lawn. It’s a beautiful patio and I hope you enjoy it.
The two year old is already a fan of the rocks. 😂 Thanks for watching, Katie!
Man, I was waiting for... "and we're going to do it Right NOW!
😂 It was weird not saying it!
I know that new mommy has got to Love it!!
She was excited to get the outdoor furniture that she wanted. 😃 Thanks for watching!
This is great! It is ALL show, and NO tell, mostly - lol. My favorite kind of DIY videos.
Well done 👍🏻 Looks great 👏🏻🎊This was a great video and really appreciate you did not rush through the process
Excellent, Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful. Job well done❣️
Thanks!!
Don't care what anyone says I personally love it. Great Job
If you’re going to be doing a lot of this kind of work, I suggest getting a dump wagon. Holds 5 cubic feet, 300 lbs capacity. All big box stores has them. Perfect for jobs like this.
I’m impressed that you did all that yourself and it turned out wonderful.
Beautiful. I usually put cardboard then mulch to prevent weeds.
WoW! So impressive. U plan & executes it well. I luv it!!!👍🏿
Love from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
I enjoyed watching you doing the new patio, I stopped the video so I could tell you how much I enjoyed watching it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you.
Thanks so much! 😃
It's a great job and it's technically correct. Good balance in design and lots of contrast in use of materials. Really good. Well done!
Absolutely beautifully done!!
Another incredible job. Yes, I did enjoy the video.
Cool! The careful selection of materials and the meditative process of construction created a unique sensory journey. It's a must-watch for those seeking relaxation and inspiration for their own outdoor projects.
This is what you call work boys and girls. Good job bro!
Great work as always Matt!! This video is so calming and the results are amazing!
So happy you enjoyed it, Kevin! I really appreciate all your support!
You did an amazing job! For your grass, get some Epson salt. If you drink coffee, save your ground and toss that in the yard also. This will boost your soil and help your grass grow. Just sprinkle water and watch it grow.
I think a great job . Nice and clean not lot of money Great job 👏
New lawn always needs a couple of reseedings for the patchy spots.
I love this video! The dig was interesting to watch. Every little touch up made the transformation more than incredible. You are really good at details 👌🏼. Everyone doesn't have that capacity. It's usually from lots of experience or a very detailed woman in your corner 👍🏼
Wow. That method of leveling the trench was pretty cool.
Great job my friend. Enjoyed it very much. No talk. You silently worked your way to the completion of the job. Great.
Great as always! Someone else commented as well but the “sad plant” is a daffodil bulb and past its season. Just cut the greens off and it will come up next spring. Also, I have really good luck spreading peat moss over the seed. It keeps it moist after watering, helps germinate, and keeps the birds away. Hey, sometime can you do a quick shout-out to your family so we can meet them? Thanks for all your tips! Christine
Another great project! Looks fantastic, enjoy those barbecues!
Be sure to add some patio lights for the evenings.
Thank you!
Wow!!! Looks amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Some of these home-improvement guys think they have all the answers. I like that you did what works for you. I think it’s really well done.
Thanks!
You are one hard worker. Wow.
Very good job !
Looks great, excellent work.
Excellent job. It is so gratifying and relaxing watch your job performance and attention to detail.
Your work speaks for itself. No commentary required. Brilliant! 👏👏
Thanks! 😃
PHEW! I got tired just watching you..😉 Looks great!!!
Truely enjoyed watching the transformation. You actually gave me a few ideas, I hate grass and love the pea gravel. Great video.
An absolutely fantastic video.
Beautiful work.
Nice place for Mrs. Fixer and the boys. 😊
I LOVE IT!!!!!! I did mine similar i just used the rubber "wood" instead.
well this is one hell of a satisfying video to watch, the no talking part feels great! sometimes you just want to watch a man work and enjoy
this was super relaxing to watch without any commentary and you are such a great craftsman!
