Matt, what a great concept for a video. Meeting up with a builder that can show how they have enhanced their practices and benefitted from the Build Show. And Adam, what a phenomenal execution. It all gets covered up, but you built it as though it will be displayed in a museum. Great job.

Matt, one of the best shows I’ve seen. Great presentation of the next generation performing effective and optimized-techniques that you’ve been showcasing on your videos. You’re mentoring thousands if not hundreds of thousands whether you know it or not.

I love the signing thing. I was renovating my parents house about 10 years ago. On the back of one of the head casing on one of the doors I found "built for my daughter "X", love dad" along with the date. The date was the year the house was originally built. It was pretty cool to see. I

This young man exemplifies the very characteristics we need for a successful future. Bravo sir I applaud you and wish you a very happy and prosperous career.

What a smart, humble, and kind builder who clearly cares about his craft.

WAY TO GO ADAM!

I feel like this builder's journey exactly describes my own. I spent 2 years watching everything. As a first time owner builder, I just started laying my foundation this week and even created a manual of Matt's greatest hits. To my surprise, the old school subs have even been super receptive. We're all learning and building better. Thanks Matt. My build is in Charlotte, if you're in the area anytime over next 18months, would love to do a similar walkthrough. (We are building 4 more family homes on the same 50 acres lot!)

I like when Matt says (“ on a mild day like today when it’s only 90°F outside”).

Publish all the latest and greatest in/as the THE BEST OF THE BUILD SHOW.

The way he did the sill sealing is really a good way to do it.

Great guy motivated to self-educate. Very cool.

That humble kid rocks

Wow, there is still hope for the building industry! It’s great to see someone that is actually interested in building well. Most builders I see today are only interested in building the cheapest thing they can throw up, and they act like minimum code is such an unnecessary burden on them. I’ve tried to educate a friend of mine that a builder here just outside Chattanooga but he always uses the excuse that he can’t do that because nobody else does and he has to compete. I like the boric acid trick, I did something like that a few years ago. My daughter and son in law bought a big house and the home inspector failed to notice the smell and damage in the attic from a major infestation of mice, squirrels, raccoons, etc. the previous owner had the access points for the larger animals repaired and covered up the mess with a new layer of fiberglass insulation but never dealt with the mice. We eliminated the mice and repaired all the places they were getting in then completely gutted the attic. When we put it back together we used blown in cellulose and I had him sprinkle borax powder into the hopper of the blower while were installing it.

Only Texans say "It's only 90° outside". Excellent work!

Matt you are making a huge difference. Thanks for all the great effort, professionalism, attention to detail in the content you put out.

Matt, I loved that you left behind that John Ruskin quote. I have it on the wall in my shop and think of it often.

You have helped me, someone who builds/remodels now and then, and new builders. Something to really be proud of. I've completely changed my opinion about a ton of things and baking in those costs for Zip and other things into my upcoming build.. I'm a BSEE (Elec Engineer in Comp Science) and have worked in IT for the last 30yrs, I love building new things with my hands and getting away from the screen. Doing it right the first time makes all the sense in the world. I've had questions, and just by watching your videos, every one of them has been answered in depth. Kudos!

This is probably one of my favorite videos. What a great testament to all of the great information you are sharing and love seeing it implemented to make better buildings across the country. Bravo.

Matt I am not a home builder ...rather a home owner..Your show is awesome and has taught me TONS. Keep on keeping on!

I like how doing something simple like sealing nail holes becomes a whole "thing", basically because builders didn't give a crap for the last 50 years or so.
