I especially liked the backstory of who is Donavan. Interesting beginnings and it is nice that your friendship has remained and grown over the years.

Thanks for the update on Donavon. He seems like a very nice guy who knows his trade. Look forward to your continuing construction updates.

I had forgotten about you and Donovan cutting up that trunk in his backyard so many years ago... I missed the live stream, but it goes to show how you can meet someone for one reason which turns out to become both a friendship and a really good business partner for other work. Donovan will never need to find another miller and you will never need to find another remodeler.

Great video Matt. Thanks for sharing how you met Donavan and how you became friends. I’ll have to see if I can find the older videos of the both of you cutting up his tree. Thanks for sharing your renovation updates with us. Always a pleasure watching the progress of your remodel. God Bless.

What is so noticeable, is the knowledge Donovan brings to this project. His forward thinking resolves issues before they become issues. Plus, what a great collection of tools to do everything from siding to roofing to framing. He is the MAN! Now find him a few apprentice so he cans pass all that knowledge onto some young’ns.

I have been watching the Johnny Depp trial on KZfaq. I watch live court then different lawyers talking on live stream. Some times until early morning. I was so happy to see your post. I can relax and enjoy watching you two create a beautiful house. No lieing no drama, just enjoying stuff. I have been watching you for almost a year. I love seeing the beautiful wood you cut. I'm a old lady and dont get out much. Thank you for entertaining me. And showing me things I would have never seen before. God Bless you and your family and Dominic too

Gotta love watching a new installment of the Matt and Donovan comedy version of This Old House. Old man Donovan showing Matt the age Old wisdom of measure twice, cut once and other handy tips. Gee, maybe one day young whipper snapper Matt will have Donovan's level of professionalism and be able to pass on his knowledge to his little son 👦. That said, the house is really looking awesome.

Matt, You two definetly work well together. I really wish we lived closer together and then the 3 of us would be building and hanging around together. Anyway, nice work on the siding. Glad you preplanned on reusing the old siding. That scafolding is great. Wish I had some when I paint my house every 7 years. Donavan, what did you do with those slabs from your tree that you two cut when you first met?

Always good to see a job termination and an interesting story on Donovan. When I read your title, I did not see it as "Re-siding the great room", I read it as you were going to reside or live in the great room and my mind went WTF? Wasn't till the end, the penny dropped.

Can you share your experiences with structural engineers and building inspectors, specifically when changes to the original plan are involved?

@donavanshomes 2 жыл бұрын

Anytime structural changes are made I check with the engineer before we move forward. I do try and work with the building inspector on every job. One of my other current jobs we removed all of the interior walls and replaced floor joists with trusses. I call the inspector to come out and look over everything before the Mechanical contractors started their work. Generally if you talk to them upfront thing go better.

@MikeC19100 2 жыл бұрын

The siding really looks good on that portion of the house. That scaffold system would have been so helpful on many of the jobs I worked on, but at that time all we had were the typical 6 foot scaffold sections and if you ran out of scaffolding you put some planks down and added a ladder to make up the height deficiency. We've come a long way it tools and capabilities since then.

@musicbro8225 2 жыл бұрын

I remember the sound of hammers when I was younger. This is in Wellington NZ and most days you would hear them almost like a carpenter orchestra percussion section. And of course hand saws and actual wood hehe... But that scaffolding looked good to work on :)

😹😹well that explains why I recognised his face😹😹😹 I remember watch that episode, but it explains why you both are so good as a work team as well. It’s always great to have people working on home projects that you know their work ethics up front, I have seen so many builders who cut small corners thinking it’s fine but the one thing I noticed with Donovan he went the extra mile when he placed those corner pieces on the windows after you had both just finished installing those new kitchen windows, I have seen the same windows put in on another project and the corner pieces were never placed at the end of the installation.
