Massive Channel Update! 

I would love to see “here’s how it was, but here is how it should have been”. Any bad design or poor installation would be a good learning opportunity to us. Excited to see where this goes!

If there’s a popcorn ceiling, could you show how to eliminate it? Thanks for your informative videos.

You have always delivered exactly what the potential for the format of a 'RU-vid' could be. You took your channel one step at a time, never trying to leap-frog anyone - or anything. I have mad respect for you brother, and I'm as proud as anyone to have been here early on. You were always our 'best secret'. Can't wait for the new content! Buckle up cowboy, the channel's gonna get quite a bit bigger I think!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Always knew you'd go far!! (You should do sponsors!) I'd love it if you could do anything with plaster walls! Drilling in them, plastering them, removing, etc etc! Build a wall & plaster it if nothing else! 😂 Again, congrats! So proud of you!

1- How to identify a load bearing wall. 2 - how to keep tools from rusting in the winter in a non-heated shed

Excited for you and the new opportunity. I would appreciate learning all the ins and outs of setting cabinets, especially planning the layout and purchasing RTA cabinets. Thanks.

Love it, man. Great news. The Essential Craftsman Spec House series is one of my favorites. Having a growing familiarity with an ongoing project is immersive for the viewer. Even as a builder, that does this all day everyday, there is something comforting about watching it progress.

Not sure if you already do but just a suggestion, get a wireless mic so the sound comes through a little better. Good luck

This is what I'd like to see: The *planning*. How you decide what to tackle first, what jobs to do in what order (for some obvious and some un-obvious reasons). Working on a place like that with so many projects can be like spinning plates, but which plates get attention?

Hey Funny! How about a 5 minute walk through? I promise to give you valid suggestions on future videos if I can see what you have. I promise!

One of the best things to showcase is how do you reno/fix things on-top of previous jobs that were done wrong to begin with.

Would love to see some structural changes - both load bearing and non-load bearing walls. Some early videos showing the plans, before walk arounds, etc. Then maybe some cameos by professionals in other trades like tiling, drywalling, etc.?

Hey, thanks a lot for being awesome as you are ! Also appreciate your honesty and the non-sponsorship ethics. I would love seeing: radiant floor heating, wall-mounted toilet, garage ceiling storage and workshop optimization for small space and battery and/or solar power management/ switchover. 😂 Some of it is realistic, some of it not but I plan to do all of those in my house so you never know!

I'm interested in replacing old insulation and drywall. Congratulations on the new old house!

Congratulations Funny Carpenter, and wish you continued success. Cheers! 🇨🇦💝👍

Closet organizers/organization! I just finished building my 7yo son's room in our basement thanks to several hundred how-to RU-vid videos and need to build out his closet.

Good stuff! Your aptitude for teaching is apparent. I've been in the trades since 1996 and I still learn something new almost daily! These videos are one of those fonts of knowledge!

Congratulations and best wishes for the future. Regarding endorsements, If you don't look around for the best product for YOU and your needs and purchase the product with YOUR hard earned money, the endorsement thing is dishonest. It contains a conflict of interests. So good for you, the way you approach the topic is honorable.

As a carpenter myself! I can tell you have lots of knowledge and experience. You also have a way of explaining and teaching that's just right. I'd love to see you tackle kitchen cabinets installation and see how you'd go about it!

I will certainly use these upcoming videos on my seemingly never ending home renovation. Your vinyl flooring, baseboard and caulking videos have been so useful. Thanks for the genuinely good tips and humor

love your channel, and mostly because you are a funny carpenter! I'd like to see best way to remove the popcorn from a ceiling. And maybe how to best organize a tool bench that has become more of a post apocalyptic jumble of who-knows-what's-in -there-pile? Lastly, how to recycle old building materials - like those kitchen cabinets etc.....those look decent and I'd like to know where they're going? haha. oh! and how to install a Belfast or Farmer's kitchen sink! That's all....have fun with your new house projects!

Congratulations!!!! So looking forward to seeing the reno and learning from you. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

I'll be watching for a guest bathroom gut and remodel including electrical work!

I would love for you to show us how to retrofit a hidden drawer in the toe-kick of kitchen cabinets

I'm not a builder or carpenter, but I do love watching how you accomplish your tasks. It's very satisfying, so I look forward to your videos. You should consider hiring an editor to help assemble your videos, so you only need to be concerned with camera placement. 😉

Weeeeee!!!! 👏👏👏 I'm eeeexcited and happy for you.....and us too since we get to watch some!!!! 😄 🎉 I really, really love and appreciate your integrity, realness and honesty in making truly liked and used, recommendations for products. It makes ALL the difference. Trust is everything! So much thanks for all your hard work in helping us!!! ❤ You ROCK!!! ....I wish you great success and some peace in the projects ahead!!!! 🥂🌟😁

That place looks almost brand new! Congrats on your success. On another note, I personally don't know how anyone can support Amazon. The way they treat their workers and the way they sell out their online resellers is disgusting. The fact that people will support a company like Amazon, despite how they treat desperate people doesn't give me much hope for humanity.

Hi there, love your channel. I would like to see a video about refurbish an old hard wood floor, the process of sanding, stain and apply a varnish.

Wow!! Something I’ve always wanted to do. When I was married and had the change, my (now) ex wouldn’t have it. I’m going to really enjoy this!!! Retired last year, now a handyman. Subscribed for a while… great tips!! Well done and enjoy it!

Congrats man! That’s super exciting. Between you and Vancouver Carpenter, you guys put out the most useful videos. Look forward to the content!

Glue down wood floor. When we tore out the carpet and put down wood floor I had 5 kid’s ages 6 to 2 in our house. I told them that while they might not remember how to do it I said that if I can do it, so can they. That’s what my dad taught me.

What great news! I am an experienced DIY dude but approach each of your videos with “I can learn from this guy” and, recently, finally got my steel front door plumb, with your great instructions. So Thank you and count on me to continue to watch and like all your videos and use your Amazon links.

We watch because You are Great!! And we appreciate you making these videos to teach us DIYER’s! Thank you, thank you!!

Can i come get the left overs?.... That kitchen looks about 50 times better than mine 😂

So stoked to see that you've got your own "carpenter's playground" with the house so to speak, I'm happy that the channel has grown and given us a chance to see honest work and reviews for products that we can easily access! Thank you for making the content you do man, hope this channel keeps growing!

Flattening /levelling wood and concrete floors before installing floating flooring

I like your kitchen as is it, the color palette stainless, dark brown and white. And thank you for your channel, honesty is such a rare n precious 'commodity'.

As a DIYer I feel I have found the holy grail of RU-vid DIY video producers. Thank you for the time you dedicate to these videos!!!

I learn the most from seeing things when they don't go as easy as hoped. Like hanging doors when the framing is not square/level/plumb. Also, seeing some simple upgrades would be useful rather than complete demo and installing new stuff. Things like adding pull out drawers in cabinets/cupboards.

Sounds fantastic! Love watching your intelligent, witty and clear lessons! Would love a bathroom remodeling episode. If not, will enjoy all your other posts!

Awesome! If you ever need a hand, drop me a line. Seriously, happy to help! I’ll bring the Timmy’s or beer afterwards! Video request: replace kitchen tiles and how to deal with cabinets (tile under or up against?) PS I stil have my funny carpenter t-shirt! 😊

Great stuff! Very excited to see the transformations upcoming. Love your content. The audio and video quality are very good, and the content is incredibly useful. Your presentation style is relatable and understandable. For the house, one thing I personally am struggling with is how to retrofit things into existing cabinets. Like how to modify a standard cabinet to be a trash can holder. How to add a drawer to an open cabinet. How to add sliding shelves into existing cabinets. So many ideas, but I can't seem to get started on them because I don't want to be in the middle of a retrofit with an unusable cabinet and discover my approach won't work! Thanks again for taking the gobs of time it takes to make these videos.

I’m looking forward to watching future episodes 😊 I love doing what you’re going to do. I’ve learned more than just a few new tricks watching you.

I would love a primer on refinishing floors. I have a room with floors that are covered in paint and wear. I want to pull out the baseboards, sand, and refinish (try to match the stain of the rest of the house). Thanks and congrats!

Congrats. Looking forward. You have helped me a lot. As a single mom I want to learn how to do as much for myself or at least learn more. Will tune in.

Looking forward to this, just bought a 100yr old house and this will help a lot I reckon!

Nice!! Maybe closet door options. Is there a mantel? Bath vanity. Built in closet system. Modern pocket doors. Deck, shed, siding.

Many congratulations. Solid channel that I have taken so much from as I have embarked on learning DIY and home maintenance from scratch over here in the UK. The accent gives me fond memories of my time in Canada and the advice is superb. First DIY video I watched on youtube was your circular saw - don't cut off your sausage fingers one and I am glad to say my sausages are still attached. Anything windows, cabinets, studwork, decks, sheds, stairs welcomed. Good luck!

I very much appreciate you taking that extra time to make high quality, 5min videos! You helped make some of the renovations in my 200 year old house look like a professional did it and I wouldn’t have been able to execute that level of detail if your videos weren’t as good as they are. I appreciate you doing what you’re doing and I can understand the level of detail and time making videos adds to that process!🙏🏻

I am slowing DYI’ing the Reno/refresh on my 20 year old house. I would love a walk through of how to replace/install bathroom cabinets (and how to deal with plumbing).

Outstanding!! I so look forward to all these upcoming videos!! Sure appreciate everything you do to push out great content!

Looking forward to your upcoming videos, congrats on you home purchase

This is exciting! Can't wait to follow along on your journey.

Exciting news! I can't wait to see the videos you create from this new adventure.

Awesome. Cannot wait to be a part of the Reno. I have learnt a lot from you and it’s always entertaining. Australia watching 🦘🇦🇺

Congrats bud, keep up the good work. It would be nice to see how you install pre hung exterior double door (if possible) including demo, prep, trim and caulking. Same goes for window replacements. Maybe a video on replacing a tub and vanity (particularly where water and drain lines need to be moved). Refinishing a deck or exterior wood siding if possible. Replacing soffit and facia boards, and eavestroughs. Moving electrical outlet and light fixture locations, and/or tapping into existing for new locations. Best of luck on the new project, looking forward to the future videos!

I'd love to see a video about how you are making one! What's the equipment (hardware and software) you are using, what's your process from filming to uploading etc. :)

I watch all your videos! Would love to see you paint bathroom cabinets. I'm ready to get rid of the golden oak!

Enjoying y our channel - thanks for the effort you put in making quality (fun) videos.

Congrats!! Looking forward to your ideas and how you solve the problems.

Excited to follow you on this journey. Dealing with a half flight of stairs in my bi-level that I removed the carpet from. No skirting on either side. Lots of gaps. Looking for easiest way to either skirt or trim out.

This is my first comment on any RU-vid channel EVER!! Congratulations and a BIG THANK YOU for really simplifying everything for a true DIY approach. Looking forward to joining you on this journey. Good luck!!

BRILLIANT! Buy a house to remodel, create content from it then, SELL IT for profit!!!!

Congrats man!!!! Im super stoked to be along for the ride with you!!

Congrats thats a great opportunity. Maybe you could do a first inspection and first steps to take when redoing a house. The order of operations can be pretty important if you dont want to be re doing your work,

Love to see how you measure and design kitchen cabinets. Cant wait!

There are so many great aspects of this channel (your caulking tips alone have upped my finish carpentry game so much) but one of my favorite things is that you always look like you decided not to take a shower before a hard days work just like the rest of us

One more thing that'd be cool to see from you...I love all of your repair and renovation advice but what about a small home project for beginner DIYers? I'm sure there are a million workbench videos out there but I'd love to follow your lead on a small home project like a cleat peg board or wine rack...you know something we could use to experiment on with our new tools, lumber and rudimentary knowledge. Just a thought for something down the road.

👍👍👍 Looking forward to the videos. Thanks

Can’t wait for the new remodeling videos! I love that you don’t do sponsorships. I’m in total agreement about Amazon. We restored an old house, and Amazon was the best way to shop for parts and supplies. Thanks for your content!

I'm glad it's not a channel name update. The Serious Sheetmetal Worker or the Platonic Plumber just wouldn't get the clicks. :)

Looking forward to the up-coming content. Congratulations!

Can’t wait. Also buying a house soon, so just make sure you keep them coming in proper order for my own interest 😂

Hey could you do a segment on how to pick the order of battle in remodeling a house like you are doing? The list can be long and it’s easy to get lost in the weeds. How to pick the “big rocks” first, etc….greta videos! Look forward to see more!

Awesome man. That's something I want to tackle at some point. And yes, it takes an insane amount of time to make a short video. I can easily spend 10 hours editing a 10-15 minute video.

Looking forward to your vinyl plank on stairs videos, there isn't much out there that covers this properly.

Very happy for you. Best of luck! Looking forward to learning from you.

Congratulations on YOUR home! I am soo excited to see everything you do to the kitchen and bathrooms. I'm wanting to remodel and don't really know what exactly I want.

Congratulations!! I love your channel and I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I also enjoy your personality. I’ll be looking forward to all the new videos to come! 😊

Happy for you. Glad you’re taking the time to help and teach us all. I for one, benefit from your channel. Cheers

Congrats! Can't wait to see the new content. I just did a house from gut to finish and it took me 2-3 years without making videos :-) . Good luck!

Bigger challenge idea just on the off chance you have an old fireplace to remove/replace - e.g. I've got an old fireplace that I want to remove (being greener) in front of an ugly brick wall between windows with a TV Cabinet with inbuilt electric fireplace - Though still no idea if there is an actual electric fireplace that is decent/"romantic" enough, and can be used for temporary heating yourself like a 2400W heater (while your heat pump actually heats up) - It gets sort of cold here in Tassie but not Canada cold.

Terrific news! You've taught me a lot and I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Cheers & Best wishes! Really looking forward to see your videos 😊

Looking forward to following your journey!

Congrats! Love it, you have been a huge help to me in my old house and I know this is going to be great!

All the best buddy ! You can't imagine how many DiY reno I did thanks to you ! I'll be working on accent walls or slat walls soon. Hope you will show some tips and tricks ;)

Awesome news!! Can’t wait to see your talents unfold…love watching ALL your tips and tricks!! Congrats!!

I'm looking forward to bathrooms, new walls, flooring and how you got to your new ideas in this house.

Really excited about the upcoming video series. I just found your channel and one of the 1st videos I watched was baseboard return video from last year. Carpentry is my 2nd career and yea, really excited to see what's next.

Love it. Would be great to see how you repair the drywall and paint from puck light installations in the ceiling. Have some tear out, planning to use spackle, painters caulk, and paint.

Congrats on the new developments!! I'd love to see your take on insulating an attic (roof rafters, not decking)

Love your videos! It’s like hanging out with a friend who knows sooooo much about about carpentry etc AND who is funny as heck! You rock, dude!

Congrats! Enjoy the process! 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Congratulations. I appreciate your quality and useful RU-vids. Your honesty about how you monetize your channel is refreshing. I just subscribed. Good luck.

Congratulations! You've saved me all kinds of grief on caulking :) Would love to see a video on replacing a window.

Going to be a fun process. Number 1 - Make sure the new cabinet top molding doesn't overlap the window trim! :)

Congratulations man! Didn’t realize your sub count got so high. Would be cool to see videos on alternatives to plain drywall, like shiplap or wainscoting or the best way to remove squeaks from sub floor and stairs etc.

i am exited for you and look forward to what this project does for your channel

I bought RTA cabinets from Cabinet Joint and they were awesome. But those I see behind you look pretty good. Slap granite on top and tile the backsplash and it's ready to sell.
