The fact that you’re passing along free valuable information from your first hand experience speaks volumes to your character. Thank you, sir!
-
Thank you for this informative video. We need more honest people like him in this world. We are living in an era where everyone is trying to drain your pockets and make a quick buck.
-
I can't say thank you enough for sharing this information. We have had such a hard time finding a good contractor. We have lost money due to the contractor scams and unwillingness to show up to work as they agreed.
-
Congrats, your ADU looks great. Also, since you were directly involved, the pride and quality in your work shows!
-
Great Video. The stove hood vent on the roof should be moved away from a outside wall. The small gap will be an area where leaves can build up causing water to stand and flow under the shingles. If it has to be this way for things such as structural constraints flash above the vent to direct the water from the wall to the opposite side of the vent.

My mom and I have been looking to convert and you vid and design idea definitely helped shape some stress we were concerned with!
-
Very impressive! Amazing job on learning everything necessary to make it extremely cost effective! I initially wanted to purchase a single family home to do this but talked myself out of it thinking I couldn’t do it so I bought a condo instead. I want to purchase a second property to do this so I’m just watching your videos to learn for now. Thanks!!
-
Good job! You must be proud of yourself for taking on such a project. Thank you for graciously sharing your knowledge. I look forward to watching your other videos.
-
Thank you for sharing. I will be checking out your website and you've inspired me to build this ADU myself. Greatly. Greatly. Appreciated
-
Hey, this is really helpful thank you! Glad it's not just look how glamorous this is...that you actually go into details that are very useful! 🙂 thanks!
-
This was super valuable and super helpful. Ty for posting as well as the companies you used for the services you utilized.
-
This is amazing and this isn’t the first time I’ve heard that it’s best to do it yourself and hire your own specialist ❤️
-
I believe it. We were charge 110 for remodel but after documenting everything I think we would had paid have..but we would do all the hiring and coordinating. The most important task is the architect that can draw up the plans.
-
That’s how o fixed up both of my homes!! Boom 💥
-
Wow!, Thanks Hektor, my plans already pre-approved, I plan on using your contacts, feel free tp shoot you next youtube video at my place, can't wait to get started. 400 sq ft is already built, just adding plumbing, restroom, kitchen and laundry room.
-
Bravo mate you did a splendid job. Excellent video, love the detail. Cheers and thanks for sharing.
-
Very good job hector. Right now I am building a 400sq ft garage conversion. An ADU. One bedroom, a small kitchen, a small bathroom and a living space with a small dining room for 42,500. I hire first class construction
-
Fantastic job! Can’t believe you did all of that by yourself 👍👍👍
-
