      Epic 3 in 1 Remodel | Turning My 2 Bedroom House Into a 3 Bedroom

      In this video, I’m going to show you how I turned my 2 bedroom house into a 3 bedroom. At the same time I remodel the kitchen and hallway which also required work in the attic and basement. And we’re gonna do it… Right Now! 👉

      Actually, let’s start with wow! What a year for my family and I! For the past year, I’m going to show you what our life has been like; non-stop, calculated remodels to not throw our life into shambles, and well, sometimes exhausting. I must have well over one hundred hours of unedited footage. 😲

      Maybe one day I’ll post it all, bloopers, outtakes, you name it, but for today, you’ll get 40 minutes of the epic 3-in-1 remodel. From remodeling the kitchen, the hallway, a 3rd bedroom but also adding in some attic and basement projects to support those remodels, I’ll go over my thought process while completing it all. And don’t you worry, there is a great surprise(s) thrown in there!

      I wanted to thank you all for your years of support and I truly appreciate you watching my videos. I hope you enjoy this video! And if this is your first time consider subscribing for more home repair content like this!

      – Matt

      Transcript:

      “Finding a traditional apprenticeship can be difficult but 100% of our Certificate III graduates gained employment in the industry.
      We offer a Certificate III in Carpentry and a Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying.
      Carpentry is 3 days / week
      7:30am – 3pm
      Bricklaying is 2 days / week
      7:30am – 3pm
      You get one-on-one training as part of a small group, working on concrete Waffle Pod Slabs, building your own house, including floor framing, wall framing and pitched roofs.
      You need to complete 800 hours to increase your skill set.
      We give you a controlled environment to learn then help you increase your speed so when you start working you have adequate experience.
      On completion you will be a qualified Carpenter or Bricklayer.
      You can then start your own business as a subcontractor, or work for a licensed builder or bricklayer and get paid great money.
      In the future you can study your Certificate IV to learn how to run your own business.
      Once you have 3 – 5 years experience you can then become a registered domestic builder.
      0 if you ARE eligible for funding,
      ,500 if you are NOT eligible.
      If you DO NOT have a Certificate III (or higher qualification) and have permanent residency in Australia then you CAN access state government funding.
      It’s a great time to get into the building & construction industry.
      The industry is booming at the moment.”
