Basement dig-out start to finish 

Men.. My totally respect to you. In my eyes you are a hero to your family. Your kids, your wife, all relatives should be proud of you, most important you should be so proud of your self. I’m planning to do that in my house, but of course I have to pay somebody else to do it. Just thank you for documentary the hole project. Smart, tenacity and compromise all on you, congratulation. Many year to enjoy. Thanks 🙏

I am totally impressed. This is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. Hats off to you young man! Fabulous job! Aaah to be young LOL!

Young man I had your energy and ambition years ago. I wanted to be self employed and I lacked experience, I did what you did here. all my life, I tackled big difficult jobs, I finished and I gained knowledge. I was in my glory building, humble always, I crippled my self working for some one else. It slowed me down tremendously, but, I continued on.I found my niche market in oil burners, I could sit on my tool bucket, keep my mind occupied and my body busy.You have my utmost admiration and respect. I have developed a few gadgets, tools, devices, inventions along the way, you might be doing the same, write them down,date and time stamp them, put them away for a time when things are a bit slower and capitalize on them.Nice job young man, nice job.

This doesn't always end well. I knew someone who did this and we had an epic 3 day rain that caved in the old foundation. The whole house ended up in the basement. You need more than determination to pull this off.

You should be proud. Your story is one of hard consistent work. Thank you for sharing!

Perfect Perfect Perfect down to the final spec great job man

I’ve never been this proud of a complete stranger. Job done.

Wow! The amount of work, determination and I am sure a few arguments, "chasing your dream" got you where not many will ever even think of doing let alone trying it. Congrats on the hard work, now enjoy it! Cheers

I threw my back out just by watching this.

Amazing work Stewart, you should be really proud of that

What a fantastic transformation. And I love the amount of storage space you have tucked away behind doors. Beautiful job, well done!

just watched this... twice. you sir, can really embrace the suck. i will bet there were times when you just laughed for 12 hours, not even realizing you were digging...thanks for the upload.

Outstanding work, sir! If only a fraction of the population were as motivated and dedicated as you, greatness would never be in doubt.

I'm buying an old farm house on 3 acres this month, I plan to rebuild it into a ranch, you sir are an inspiration, now I can't wait to get started. Thank you

Greatest video I've seen in a while! The final result is just epic!

Amazing job! Loved seeing your family help, work, and grow! Nice work!

Thought about doing the same thing to my partial basement/cellar, after seeing your project I don't think I want to lol. Props man!

I cant even begin to express how amazing this was to watch. On many levels. Nailed it.

Wow truly blown away and I’m loving the black hinge and black door knob finishing its perfect

Awesome. I've been watching your installments since the beginning and this is a very satisfying end!

Nothing more satisfying than saying I did this Nice job 👍

A job very well done 👏 👏 👏

You guys are freaking artists! Living the dream!

I'm a contractor and I would have been skeptical about this project. Great job and I know you family is proud.

I appreciate your tenacity and your wife's patience. A lot of work I know.

Can never escape the haters. Great friggin job.

Hard work pays off. I tip my hat to you being so young. Glad you completed it and I like all of the aspects of your endeavor. Please keep that big smile on your face because you should be proud of this accomplishment.

The power of persistence. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Super impressive. Soo much work...love the little ones 'helping' . Congratulations, great job !!

Proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Awesome job! That's a huge undertaking. Looks like you have an amazing wife and family to help with whatever needs to be done.

Thank you for creating and sharing this video. Your hard work and dedication is an inspiration.

My neighbors did this. It is an enormous undertaking. Great work.

I love that you involved your son. He'll remember and appreciate that for the rest of his life.

Really amazing, like wow.... that is one hard working family you have there, you must be very proud of them. Cheers from Tokyo Japan!

Speechless. Love your resilience. Nice work!

you have a huge basement and you have done an amazing job, mine is 1/3 of yours, I am DIYing it now, glad you can share this video.

My dad did something similar when I was a kid. Worth it when you own and don’t wanna go anywhere soon

I just paused the video because I couldn't wait to comment, amazing!! I love watching videos like these. Thanks for sharing...

Well done TEAM REDMOND !! What an odyssey & what a huge amount of work. Be proud of yourselves. It turned out great.

Best basement project I've seen. Very proud for you and your family... Well done!

I loved the picture of the kids running around, brought back some memories of being a kid, I hope they saw the amount of labor you put into this. great job!

Props to you're hard work and dedication to a great finished home improvement!!!!!

Incredible, absolutely incredible. My hats off to you sir, you should be very proud.

Absolutely awesome. I love your incredible determination to see such a project through and maintain your goals all along over such a long period of time. That takes tremendous dedication and discipline. You and your family are awe inspiring people.

Wow!!!! What a great job you all did.....my utter respect

God bless y'all! That's amazing!

awesome job. I liked how your kids were down in there with you some of the time playing and "helping". That's how you teach good work ethic.

Truly incredible, nicely done and thank you for making the video of this!

Very smart forming system.

Your hard work and dedication paid off. Good job.

That’s awesome man! Reminded me of what I had to put my wife through when I upgraded our house from 1200sqf to 4600sqf while we were living in it! All I can say is our wives are saints to believe in us and trust in our abilities! great job!

I did something similar between 2011 and 2014. Three-foot crawl space is now an 11' deep basement. I built 26 high-strength steel columns to go under the existing foundation, poured a 12" thick floor - was supposed to be 6, but ready-mix company screwed up the pour and poured six more inches atop the first - laid block under the existing footings, grouted the gap between old and new foundation, built an armored door to the outside, and put in a staircase from the first floor. The only tools I had were a shovel, wheel barrow, a strong back, and the will to get it done. There were times I could not help but wonder whether I'd lost my mind. In fact I am there now as I am in the middle of building a new kitchen off the old, about 22x30'. I'm not getting any younger, and yet this is like a disease.... digging, grading, laying block, and out of seemingly nothing... something arises.

I was going to do the same thing......but moved to a house with a finished basement instead. Saved me 5 years of digging.

Congrats! Looks great. I helped my dad finish his basement over a period of 32 months. We might of been able to do it in half the time but there was a lot of beer, whiskey, and talking about politics while drunk. But hey the tv that we built the basement for looks great. I'd do it again if I had the chance I loved every bit of it.

What a wonderful Job!!!! I do all of my own renovations on my house and having a family and working, it seems to take forever. You start thinking is it ever going to end....lol. Right now, I am sure you are thinking.......thank God this is over. I think the same thing every time I end a project on my house. I would say, I have never dug a basement out though. Way to go!!! Looks Great! Enjoy!!

Your hard work really payed off. Job well done. God bless you and your family.

Super impressive work. I wouldn't have the patience for that project. Amazing job dude.

Wow, 5 years in the making, and what a huge transformation. But look at the results! Turned out amazing. Great job, and just goes to show, if you bite off smaller chunks that you can handle, over time, you can complete a big job like that and save a lot of money at the same time. Plus you get the pride of showing off your work.

Big project. Props for committing and executing. Nice work.

Great work! A hard earned and well deserved place for your family to enjoy. It will never lose its meaning. Truly taking care of your family. Respect well deserved.

What a huge undertaking. Well Done!

Absolutely beautiful transformation!

*OUTSTANDING!* Hardwork meets determination!

What an incredible journey. I’m sure you had people who told you it wasn’t worth it or you were crazy. Good on you for pushing through. The end result is perfect. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Very well done. Looks amazing and makes my 12 week garage remodel feel quite small indeed. Wife and I almost killed each other in the process...

Beautiful job. Thanks for sharing!!!

I don't know as though I'd be willing to ever sell a house I'd put so much labor into. Hopefully you'll never have to. Beautiful project, thank you for sharing and God bless.

This came out so nice!! The tiny helper and the rubble smiley face were adorable ❤

Great work kids helping as well

Holy cow! Very nice. We just bought a 100 year old farmhouse. It has a stone foundation and a crawlspace. I would love to do something like this so my husband can have his "man cave". Not that he's messing but I miss not having to see his "things" all over. Now it's all I see when I walk into our house. I think he would be more comfortable in his own space as well. But 5 years? Damn! Again, very nice job. Thanks for sharing.

God bless you! Such an amazing project!

Very, VERY nice job, you guys! Thank you for sharing!

fantastic result and a great example of what hardwork and commitment get you :)

Awesome job Love to see this kind of commitment to doing it rite. Looks amazing

I am stuck for words, very much impressed!!

Very good effort. That's very admirable.

Truly a staggering amount of work. Quite impressive. Hope you can keep the house in your family for generations to come after all that effort.

Great effort, and great rewards! Great job, love the video.
