That’s a great goal to have… Don’t get discouraged because there’s going to be tough times but stick to it and it will pay off!

I’ll work on video that shows what we started with and I have some videos during the process that I’ll be able to share with everyone. Video quality may not be that great of the build process because I wasn’t expecting on starting a KZfaq channel.

Would you like to see more “day in the life” videos?

@@BradtheBuilder that would be great. Honestly everything I’ve watch so far has been good. I went through the carpenters apprenticeship almost 30 years ago and loved the work but the union for many years was shady with several Business Agents going to jail and it was hard in the slower months trying to raise a family. I decided to go to school for mechanical engineering and it was a better choice. When you asked one of your framing contractors how much they were paying it reminded me of the scale I started at in 1990. 45% as a 1st year apprentice was $7.92 an hr residential and $14 and some change commercial/industrial. Scale went up 10% every 2000 hours ( around a year ) if you worked a full year without layoffs. I lived in northwest Indiana outside Chicago and it was tough with the steel mills laying off or closing down. Sorry for being long winded. You do beautiful work and it’s easy to see you and your company have some integrity. In todays market and economy with questionable work ethics from subcontractors to suppliers they can make or break a sub par company. Thanks for letting me ramble. LOL. Have an awesome weekend !

@@Telluridepilot Stewart, no need to apologize for reaching out to me! I love to hear from everyone and thanks for watching! Have a great weekend🏖

Great idea! It’s a ride!!!!

Really? I didn’t want to bore people with that… Maybe I could do a sit down with Flair and make it like an interview situation? Thoughts? Any suggestions… (I’m all ears) 🦻

@@BradtheBuilder I think it’s interesting to see what goes into a success story but then again maybe it’s because I came from nothing and I’m now self made wealthy. I’d say any style you want to do it in wether with flair or wether it’s going through the process by showing some of your very first homes and very first jobs and the schooling/ experience required, I would love to see it.

I highly suggest this as well! @Brad The Builder

​@@BradtheBuilder I think it's a great idea Lots of people would love to venture into the construction world and just have no idea how.

We do quite a bit of zero entry homes here in Lincoln Nebraska. Zero entry Shower, wider door ways, extra wood backing in walls for future grab bars, etc

Blake, you are only 1 hour from where I live, maybe I could come down and do a video of some of your barrier free homes you have built? Let me know

@@BradtheBuilder ready to collaborate whenever !

@@blakebuilders8186 Fancy seeing you here Blake! haha I sure do miss building your houses.

I’ll work on the bus Video for you! Thanks for watching 🤠

@@BradtheBuilder [(

Why, thank you for your kind words… You sound like a wonderful person too❤️🎺

Thanks for watching and welcome to Brad the Builder . I hope y’all subscribe and watch more of my videos.

He uploaded one recently.

Tell your Grandpa thanks for watching! If he has any tips for me please let me know🤠

Thanks for the feedback! I will work on more videos on my home & the church bus!

I’ve been doing it for so long that it is my lifestyle… I don’t know any different! I think I need a hobby?

Really! What a small world. Since we only got 2” of snow this year ( crazy) I didn’t get to see you 🤠 Thanks for reaching out Chris!

Good for you! Don’t let anybody steal your dreams👍🤠

Thanks for the feedback! This helps me 👍

Ok! I will set that up… I will need to vacuum 1st😜

@@BradtheBuilder You come vacuum mine too if you’d like

Thanks Russell!

Thanks Mary!

It’s become the only thing I know… There are days when it is quite a Burton’s , but the rewards of seeing the homes get completed and working with the guys out weighs all the hassle👍. i’m going to stay at it for a little while longer… Thanks for reaching out.🤠

Daniel, that’s a great suggestion and I will definitely work on implementing your ideas! Thanks

Thanks Heather! I really appreciate your positive feedback. 🤠👍

@@BradtheBuilder It's just the truth, friend.

❤️😘

I will work on marking a video for everyone to tour the “Church Lady Bus”. It has turned out great!

Aaron, if you’re really passionate about building… I would suggest starting small maybe with a flip house to get your feet wet. You will make some mistakes but, that’s how you learn. I still make mistakes and they do cost me money when that happens! So if you start small the price of mistakes generally aren’t that big. It’s part of the education process and learning curve… every builder goes through it. (otherwise they’re lying to you😜)

Thanks! Please stick around and watch more videos. I hope you subscribe.😎

Thank you ❤️

I have a video showing the completed bus!

Thanks for watching. I appreciate you reaching out to me.👍

Thanks! I’m working on doing another one this week👍

Thanks 👍❤️

Thanks Ricky… I really enjoy what I do so it doesn’t always feel like work❤️👍🎺

I’ll have some updated Flair videos coming in the next 10 days

@@BradtheBuilder That’s nice your such a hard worker brad thanks

Amen! The 1st time is the Right Time to do correctly… every time someone tries to take a shortcut on the job-sites it comes around and bites me in the butt! Also, the second time repairs costs more than the first time! (you were lucky to have a good teacher).

Thanks

I did a video walk-through on my personal home. It was one of the first videos I put on KZfaq… please go back and check it out and let me know what you think?

​@@BradtheBuilder how can I become a general contractor without experience in construction?

@@emmanuelawosusi2365 I’m working on putting a video together to answer that exact question… That’s how I got started

I’ve been working ever since I was 12 years old… Started mowing lawns! I learned a lot from that as a young person and it transition into me becoming a homebuilder

Thanks for the kind words, you help motivate me to make more videos! I love being out on the job sites…But sometimes I have to go into the office🙆‍♂️

Thanks!

@@tyrellnichols6968 you can email me bradthebuilderYT@gmail.com

I’ve been trying to clear off my desk for years🙆‍♂️

You are right! Most people do not like their builders after the home is built ( usually it’s the builders fault!

Flair is the bomb… I really enjoy working with him & He seems to enjoy making construction Videos with me too! Believe it or not sometimes he’s doing the camera work!

My clients, all finance their own homes… I will help them line up financing with a couple of bankers that I use on a regular basis

That’s fantastic! You’re going into a wonderful industry. Please reach out to me with any questions you might have.👍

@@BradtheBuilder where do you build houses sir? I am 21 I have a wood framing company in GA, looking to becoming a builder in the future.

@@diegotorres3108 I build homes in Omaha Nebraska area… I’m glad to see young people getting into the business because you’ll have job security for a long time. Everybody is going to need a house or a home remodel!

Great! I’m working on setting up a website so you can order merchandise

Now that summers almost here the outsides of the homes are looking nice, I will work on more mansion tours👍. Thanks Billy (that is my Dad’s name, we called him Billy Bob) only because he would throw Bob at the end of everybody else’s name to have fun with people😜
