Do you want to see more on the house? Let me know below!
Good morning Matt! Well of course we all want to see more! Hell YES! Lets do this !!
Haven't watched the video yet but I like to watch all your activities and how you go about things, just like the church project was interesting, so of course I want to see more!
Update: Watched it and like you said 'Awesome' covers it well, but do those guys get paid extra for every yard they drive backwards?
I know you like your privacy but why not make content out of it you doing all the work why not recorded it an make something off it while you do also you can keep a video record of it for the future when you wanna look back on it but thats just my 2 cents, its all up to you tho
Yes…It’s all good 🤩
How much diesel do you go through in a month? Do you have a storage tank that it gets delivered to? Gonna be a great house!
A project is a project. House, shop,road, truck or whatever. Enjoy them all.
Love this . Please keep showing your build process.
100%
Agree on this also....... enjoy the hell out of the machine videos also but enjoy the builds as the shop is finished now.
I agree. Love seeing it come together. Your hard work has been paying off
I liked the dream house video for variety. You always change up content in the best ways. Watching from Topeka, Kansas.
@@pdm1289 much appreciated!!
I agree Matt. I'm truly delighted for you and your wife. The house looks amazing. The poured walls idea is something that I haven't seen done before. As far as I know, it's not widely practiced in Sydney, Australia. If I get the chance to build a new home I will definitely be looking at it as an option.
@@DieselCreek Congrats on this. I know how big of a deal this is for you and the boss lady Eva !! I thought this video was the perfect amount of content coverage of this basement pour. I hope the house build gets this type of coverage, at least as much as youre comfortable with showing.
Love the machinery videos but it's great you change out to other stuff like your house build videos. I find it interesting some of the differences between UK construction and how you guys do things. Can't believe how fast those guy's got stuff done, over here it seems like the crews take weeks to get where you are.
@@DieselCreek That's going to be a very nice one , Much thought into it , This brings back memories memories when I built mine in 2002 .
My thought has been that the house and the property are the justification (to some degree) for the repair projects. At each stage of this house build so far, I see you use equipment that I saw in a repair/rescue video. Matt, you said, "However, I know it's not everybody's cup of tea. This channel is more about heavy equipment and repair and maintenance and all that kind of thing..." I have to say that while the equipment got me here, I have grown to just enjoy you and your approach to whatever you do. So, please, keep making videos on the equipment, but please do also keep making videos on the other projects you take on.
It is rare that I watch a 1 hour plus video to completion on RUclips, but it is equally as rare that I do not watch a 1 hour plus Diesel Creek video to completion.
Thanks Matt!
I'm enjoying the "Building A DREAM HOME" series as much as your normal stuff. Thanks!
@@MarkDurbin glad to hear it!
Matt, I am enjoying your dream house videos,, and I love the drone shots.. Good job and thanks..
I like how he almost attacked the concrete truck with his attack drone
More videos, please lol
Hi Matt.
Keep showing the building process. Most people have no idea how much actual work goes into building a home from start to finish. And yes..a garage can never be big enough.
Greetings from Barrie Ontario
Our company performed the waterproofing (Eco-Seal) and use products manufactured by GMX. The board is called Thermal Drain, 70% post consumer goods, and serves 3 purposes…very durable and protects the membrane, provides R-Value, and aids in draining water to the footer drain very well. Congrats on the build and thank you for letting us a part of it!
I went to your web site and I see how many gallons per hour it drains. Q? How much water does it harbor when it is not raining, due to the wicking capillary action of water? Is the material of the fiber layer adhesive or cohesive to water? Is there a facing that is waterproof that separates the matting layer, to keep the concrete dry?? Thanks for entertaining my questions. --Doozer
Thanks for showing the innovative way the footings were formed. The rock and concrete conveyer was also a interesting way to deliver the material.
Oh Matt, Please let us share this Experience with you (and your wife). I'm 65 and this is like watching one of my kids making their dreams come true. I enjoy ALL of your videos. I know you said that the home build would be limited, but, anything you would like to share is appreciated. Good Weather Wishes for You. Stay Safe and we will keep you both in our prayers. 🇺🇲🙏👍
That crane operator wouldn't pass the water bucket test.😂 You should have offered your crane for those longer reach moments.
Being a retired carpenter, I enjoyed watching the form work on your new home. Brings back a lot of me fond memories. Been retired for 27 years.
Same here !
Matt, you have got my wife and I hooked on your channel. Yes it was supposed to have more repair content, and you went to operating your big equipment to do your building. Thats ok with us. You have that friendly, respectful neighborly demeanor about yourself. You have become a friend we just haven’t met in person yet. I think that you could probably keep us happy if we were just watching you peel potatoes!
From our family to yours, We wish you all the luck and happiness in the world. Keep up the good work!
I love the fact you included so much in one video, rather than chopping it up like so many do, i find chopped up and dragged out videos really annoying and 98% of them are done that way.
Ditto.
Keep up the top notch videos.
Hey Matt, I just wanted to say that, whatever you put onto your channel is part of your life experience and that's why many of us tune into channels like yours for many these channels serve as inspiration and when you win at something we all win vicariously through your experience and live through the good the bad and the ugly, so keep up the great work you are doing and thank you for the journey thus far
I'm sure you can't wait until you can get up in the morning and have a 2 minute commute (aka walk) over to the shop. One question on the new house, what are you planning for insulation? After having a 14 hour power outage due to a glancing blow from a hurricane, it made me realize our current house gets to outside temperature in about 3-4 hours (crap insulation level just enough to meet code when it was built). Insulation is the one thing I'd be willing to spend 2-3X more money on to get overkill. The comfort and utility savings over the next few decades will make it worth it.
I don’t think he’ll have to worry about power outages, he’s got a big generator that he’s been running the shop with for years before he got power down there just a little while ago.
I like seeing the footings and basement forming. I did that for 20 years and it is interesting to see how the state of the building arts has changed. Love those integrated French drain forms.
We never had pumps and cranes (that part was me). It was HARD work to pull that concrete to the ends away from the truck. 2x4” bouncing up and down to keep the concrete flowing. Skinny guys outside the wall banging the wall with rubber hammers to prevent honeycomb/voids.
We did a fair number of underground homes, frequently on steep lakeside lots and that was fun. At least one ended up in an architectural magazine. Imagine that, bunch of rural Missouri guys with primitive tools and techniques building a home that was featured as “art”. P.s. the owner was a KC architect and did the design and insisted on being there for all pours.
Matt, congrats to you and Eva on the new house. Thanks for sharing this cool build. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Matt, I was watching one of your first videos and it’s amazing how much work you have done to your property to get it to look like it does today.Thank you for letting us go along for the ride over these many years. Congratulations on the channel growing and your home and shop growing to be just what you want.
@@njh4473 it’s been a labor of love! Thanks for hanging out!
Enjoy this kind of content. I used to run materials around for various kinds of jobs like this, from the excavation, to the stone going back in, right on down to the concrete piping used to route water under ground. Seeing this, for myself is quite entertaining. This guys know how to get a job done and quick.
Glad to be apart of this dream build journey
Looking at someone's dreams becoming reality is never borring, it's as fascinating as seeing an old engine come to life again. Keep it up the way you do.
Extremely educational and interesting at the same time. This house build will be a lot of fun. I took 3 years to redo my house and new garage in the same fashion as you. I did James Hardie fiber cement panels and did Rocksal insulation and sound proofing. Redid the copper plumbing and all the electric. It was the most pleasant fun and learning curve ever. I hope you have the same experience. Thank you for another great show. I look forward to the next stage. Enjoy.
I’m excited to see the house build. I did watch trusses get delivered a few weeks ago. I was blown away how violent it is, but as you said, they hold up. Arrived on a rollback with roller floor. Guy raised the bed til it was a foot or so off the ground, released the cable, and down they went. They flopped around like a fish coming off 😳. He drove off and the trusses were delivered, never had to leave the truck!
Thanks Matt! I do like the Homebuilding videos…in fact, I really enjoyed the videos on the old church renovation work.
I agree with you on waterproofing as much as you can…water is the torment of every house I’ve owned… it will find its way in … and you can protect as much as you can. Thanks.
Very happy for you. I have built many homes as a contractor and sadly at 58 years old. This is the first time that I've started to run out of energy at the end of the day.
So you did the right thing by building now. I live in the country too and I need to get more stuff done but unfortunately my age is catching up to me a little bit I'll. Never say die but congratulations and thank God for you, tube money LOL. What a blessing! so happy for you! You're such a hard-working young man and you deserve it all. It all.great job!
I can't explain how much your videos help during rough times, or in good ones. My dear kitty Tux passed Saturday at 18 years old. Half my life I spent with that cat around. It's been tough, but I can relax and happy for an hour and I thank you for that.
Hurricane Helene has caused me to miss watching my RUclips favorites. 3 days on generator, no landline, no Internet. Living an hour inland from Steinhatchee did not prevent Cat 3 winds hitting the yard, house and outbuildings. Good to see the start of your future home.
I remember , 29 years ago when our foundation was poured. Very exciting time. Congratulations on your new house. I wish you all the good fortune.
This is my cup of tea, anything hands on is my cup of tea. Seeing your dream come together is amazing. Watching you set the containers for the container shop I was thinking how nice it would be to have a home out there, now here we are not so far in the future, I am invested. I think most followers are invested in your journey no matter what path your on.
Wow! Amazing growth for your property since the church repairing days! Love to see this. Thank you for sharing your journey.. Blessings.
I know. I think the church renovation was the first of Matt's videos I ever saw.
It gave me an "Alice's Restaurant" flashback 😊
Watching This New House is much more fun than watching This Old House. Matt gives us the modern ways to build footings, set up forms, pour concrete that combines newest methods and plenty of big equipment to do special tasks.
My inner bully goat did get excited when Matt spread that grass matting. Can’t wait for that grass to catch.
I’m sure these contractors appreciate Matt’s site preparation all leveled and stoned, so he gave us a bit of that too. Love the camera work from inside the microwave to high overhead from the drone. This project is so cool. We must help Matt pay for all this - like and subscribe!
Hi Matt, always a good variety of content. I've been watching from the time when you and your wife was working on the old church building. It's been an amazing journey so far seeing ALL the projects and I look forward to many more vids in the future. Thanks for taking the time to video and edit all the content. Oh and yes please regarding the house build. watching from South Wales in the UK. 👍👍
Thanks!
I am retired and I am always looking forward to your next long video. At my age I still am learning. Matt your videos are terrific. Great camera work ! Thank you so much.!!
WOOHOOO! A Diesel Creek marathon , over and hour long video! Heck yes !! This is a great start to a weekend!
From one union brother to another, this is awesome! Very happy to see your success. We chatted on Instagram years ago about some stuff. First video I saw of yours is when you welded up the headache rack thingy on your red dumptruck. Been hooked ever since. Watching your channel and a few other inspired me to start my own little welding channel a few years ago. I know your a busy guy but I'm sure I have a few vids you'd enjoy. Thanks for the content Matt. Keep it up 👍( also Matt, from New Jersey Steamfitters local 475)
“I don’t think those trusses will sit there for long” (crosses all fingers…). Loving this series Matt, and very happy for ya!
Thank you for taking the time to make the Intro and voice-over to explain why you are doing what you’re doing
The french drain setup is such a great idea.
You know darn good an well you wanted to service that pump sprayer machine 😂
@@Havok135 haha I wouldn’t touch that thing if I had to 😂
Hey Matt!!!!! Yah!!!!! WOW!!!!! So happy for you Matt!!!!! A house soon to become a "HOME"! Looking forward to anything you have peace to show us! I went to school in New England for building construction and cabinet making, so obviously, I enjoy all aspects of construction. So glad to see this much! Thanks Matt!!!
Way Cool... What a massive foundation. Can't wait to see the house come alive. Keep'em comen...
Anything Diesel Creek, dream shop, dream house, dream truck, all works for me. Thanks Matt.
Loving the dream house build, Matt.
It's great to see the variety of things you give us to watch. I found your channel less than a month ago, and I'm addicted☺️
A big thanks from an Aussie fan.
As a retired builder from So.Fl. I am really enjoying this Construction Project. I especially
like the poured concrete stem walls. Here in Fl we would lay up Concrete Blocks and
usually Stucco over them then the Water proofing. These poured walls are much better.
I will be following this build from now on.
I’ve been watching your channel from beginning of shop build. You are building a really
Nice place there.. keep up the great work..
So pleased for you Matt. You deserve this. Please keep ‘em coming.
Matt, my friend, you have come a looooong way from working in some shipping containers. I started following you when you first dug out Christine and brought her home. Keep on keeping on, you're doing great! Looking forward to any and all content you put out :)
Please keep showing your Dream Home Build .
I liked the way the crews worked together and each one seemed to know what they were doing. Everything looks great.
It’s been a long time coming but the house has begun to be built. Congratulations M&E.
Matt I always look forward to seeing your videos, watching where you started from to now it's been a wonderful journey always something different. I wish you and your wife all the happiness that's to come 😊
Loving the Dream House build Matt (as I did with the Dream Workshop build) - keep posting!
Yep, love it. Every man dreams about building his forever house. While mine will be an order of magnitude smaller than this, I'm getting some great ideas from the new building materials. Anything that keeps a basement dry and useable is a great thing! Looking forward to seeing more videos as work progresses, Matt. Thanks for sharing.
The Dream House series is a great addition to the channel, Matt. We are all excited for you!
Great video I watch all your videos and am loving the house build. This and the other stuff you do makes for GREAT content. Keep up the great work.
Enjoying the switch up between heavy equipment and your house build. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Keep the videos coming on your house build. I rewatch the dream shop build and the shipping shop build videos all of the time. Also like the property improvement videos. And......l don't miss the auction and wrenching videos either. You do a great job, and I hope you and your wife and the pups get to enjoy your new home a long time. Rock on brother.
Man oh man Matt, that’s quite a “shack” you’re building there. Good for you, hard working people deserve what they want and you sure are one of those people.
Great to see you back again mate hope all is well with you and your family and your friends
Love the house build. Leaving CA for our 30 acres of SE Ohio paradise in the spring. And will be starting a similar build then. Nice to see the process and where I might be able to save some $ on steps I can do.. Please keep em coming!
Left Ca. 6 yrs ago,,,,best move ever!! Unlike the Clampets we left Ca. For Tn. No swimming pool no Hollywood stars just great people and freedom!!!
@@stancataline7385 "Freedom" is the biggy.......CA is a sh@t-hole, and the whole USA is becoming similar.
Happy to hear you are moving to America!
Paradise Found! Can't wait to see the little Mrs. and about six little kids running around the homestead. Great job Matt!
Holy material moving batman. That belt truck is awesome
such a cool truck. i'm still trying to figure out how the belt extends. its such a cool machine but my mind just cant comprehend how a fixed size belt can extend and shrink like that and still function. must be some cool magic happening with rollers underneath
@@glossyfpv1155 Me too! I watched the closeups a couple of times to try and figure that out myself.
@@glossyfpv1155 The belt is probably riding on an absolute maze of idlers underneath the working side and they feed in or out with the boom. Cool machine but if it ever went wrong you'd be in for a hell of a time.
@@glossyfpv1155 perhaps each section has its own belt and rollers and the material just runs onto the next one?
Moving the rock was not as impressive as moving the cement. Then the amount of water to clean all those belts in the end, must be impressive. The maintenance on that beast would be fascinating.
It's like watching This Old House again. Excellent! I'm in.
This Old House on Diesel!
Keep the Dream Home videos coming Matt, mix it up a little. That's going to be the Diesel Creek mansion for sure. Watching from South Australia, TJ.
I came to this channel because of the church build years ago. Then I really liked the equipment restoration/ rebuilds. So construction is why I came originally. Looking forward to seeing the progress!
How exciting!!! Building your own home! Congratulrions to your success. You've worked hard & it shows.....
For the record Matt, for us old heads that have been following you for the last decade or more, we were brought to your channel by the construction work you previously did. When I started watching, all you had was a wheeled skid steer with grousers. Then you bought that clapped-out excavator. You were doing site work and excavation, driveways and swimming pools. The demo and cleanup work was great too. I loved your silo demolition. That was the content that brought me to your channel and I still prefer it to your rotating rummage sale of junk equipment. I keep watching in hopes that you'll return to your roots. The shop build and the house build have been a welcome reprieve from the Diesel Creek Home for Wayward Equipment that we've been watching for the last 5 or 6 years. I do want to say the restorations are quality content. Christine and the Autocar series were and are awesome. I do get tired of the filler with the cable shovels and National Pike Garbage Show even though I know that's a passion project of yours. Yes, that content has a very loyal and vocal following of simps, but it's probably the smallest portion of your viewers from a pure numbers aspect. Whatever you decide to create, I'll probably still be here for the content because you're a good guy with good morals and we need voices like yours in the social media arena. We need more channels like Vice Grip Garage, Cole the Cornstar, Jesse Muller, Farmcraft 101, and Diesel Creek and less content from dirt bags whose names I won't mention here but happen to be the most subscribed RUclipsr in the world. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work.
Matt love your content, sound track and the creative energy you put into your filming, camera angles and editing. Keep it coming I am enjoying my morning coffee with DC.
Love the way you “channeled your Billy Goat”. You have a natural engineering skills and a FANTASTIC work ethic!
It certainly looks like you’re on the right track for fulfilling your dream.I have been watching your videos from the time of the church buy.You always have good content and your video skills are always improving.The drone footage always helps give a good perspective of how everything works together.You have done some really great planning and now it looks like it’s going to pay off.Great job Matt
The build is moving quickly I bet the wife will love getting the new house done where you wont be away from the house as much
I bet she`s gonna love all that noise late at night too. lol
PLUS: she can keep a closer eye on you!🤪
Please don't stop that was fantastic, really ENJOYED
Great video... I remember the excitement when I built my own home... Keep the videos coming my friend.
Dream house, an old Galion grader, cable shovel, a project is a project and your content is awesome!
Fascinating! As usual you take us on the journey with you. Happy you are making your dream home a reality. Hope you live many happy years (decades) in it. Can't wait to see the next steps. Thanks again for letting us go along for the ride! Bravo!
Always a good start to the weekend with one of your videos!
INTERNATIONAL "Loyal Hunk of Junk" starts right up! 😂
I had a case 580b backhoe. Loose as a goose, but it always started easy, even in coldish weather. Cold ish because it was central Texas where it never gets THAT cold. Blown hoses - and hot hydraulic showers - were common. By the time I sold it I'd replaced all the cylinder gland and piston seals, all hoses some more than once. But start and run? Always easy. Those cyl glands were a booger to replace.
I enjoyed some of the rest of the video I forgot about this part thanks for reminding me!!
Thank you for taking us all along for part of your home building adventures! I am eager to see the final product.
Disfrute mucho viendo como construías tu workshop ahora me toca disfrutar ver construir tu casa Saludos matt! Gretting from Venezuela
Thought of something…Your new garage will actually be a garage and not a shop-garage 😂👍🏻😝
My first thought when Matt shared that viewers were telling him to go bigger. He has space for working on vehicles and storing equipment and tools. Garage will pretty much be, well, a garage! I'm sure his wife will enjoy a clean garage where there is little to no opportunity for mud, grease, etc., to get tracked into the home.
It will be his wife's garage. He might get to park a vehicle in there if it is clean enough.
@@Dave-in-MD 😆Yep!
Good morning Matt, I don't usually comment very often but I wanted to say that I've been following your channel for several years now and I know that the shop and the home(I won't say house) was your dream and I can't see it happening to more deserving people. God bless and have a wonderful day and I'll be anxiously waiting for the next video on the build. 👍👍🙂
@@johngersna3263 thank you so much! You should Comment more often! I’m not looking for praise but we need positive people in the comments! 👍🏼
Hi Matt, It seems like only last year you had clutter all out the front of the container shed and you were fitting lights to it. I know you deliberated on showing the dream home build and reading the comments I am not the only one that was happy you did. It was probably hard not to given all your other video work it would have been hard to hide. Well done you on the years of hard work and your dreams coming to fruition. What is especially impressive is that you have documented, edited and posted most it. Thank You
Good morning Matt and all subscribers watching from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
hey trinny how r the isles?
hope to be in tobago again next year
Watching From Delaware. Love Your Video My Husband & I Watch You All The Time.
All the way from LEEDS, West Yorkshire, UK. LOVE it, LOVE IT.
Keep these coming Matt. Awesome to see these dreams come true for you and your wife.
HEY! Gooooooooooood morning everybody! Goooooood morning Matt and thumbs UP!
Hi Matt. Big fan of your mech videos, but also like to see the development of the workshop, housing etc. I see your vision and like the progress. This will be absolutely excellent. Greetings from Norway
Im so invested in this, keep uploading please!
Dont think mat realises how much his channel is loved. His videos are funny , entertaining and educational all at the same time. Keep it up my man ... luv from 🇬🇧
Fan from Australia enjoy the videos
Ditto. Great channel :)
I wish I could build my dream house, good job Matt!
Alberta fans love your channel keep them coming!
👍🇨🇦
I love watching the building project. . I have followed you from the begining as you worked on your dream. I am very proud for you and of you for sticking to it. It has been a long road and you make me feel like part of it. Just keep on trucking kind sir, old guy in texas
that box tube is all over the video 😁.great video btw
Perfect for tonight. Greetings from Germany.
Love the dream house! Reminds me of when Essential Craftsman did his spec house, watching from Ontario
Izzy putting a dump pump in??
@@gerry-p9x not needed for this construction
the pads that they were putting up against the wall is called a shoddy pad. When places collect old t-shirts, towels, sheets, etc. as well as trimmings from the manufacturing of similar fabric products they will be washed and then effectively ground up to bring them mostly back to fiber form. The fiber is then processed into large roll goods that can be cut. Typical applications for this is carpet underlayment, trunk liners in vehicles, and misc. construction applications but it's pretty neat that it is taking things that would have gone to the dump and reprocessing them into something useful
I’m sure you’re really happy with the progress, thanks for sharing as I know you don’t want to share the whole process.
Matt, I will watch any video you put up.
44:00, Is that Bob Cat, and IT'S ALIVE..? 44:59 Praise be... Great to see....
not sure what you are saying ? Bobcat is a huge brand and they are everywhere
@@warrenmichael918 that's the first machine Matt bought. Basically, the start of the channel.
@@whiskeyinthejar24 ok i guess he called it Bob Cat then and thats where the OP question or comment was coming from. I was wondering what it actually meant
