The one thing your missing on the build is having solar panels on the roof..

Toonz, you're going to have hiccups all along the way of a build. It can't be helped and best not to worry too much about them. Spend your energy focusing on a solution rather the problem. LoL, it'll keep you from going crazy.

One warning I have for metal roofs is ,although the roof itself will last for like 100 years, they are installed with screws with a rubber washer to prevent water from seeping through but those rubber washers only last for like 10 or 15 years and after that every single screw that is holding up that roof can begin to leak

@@paulinoleal5592There's no real good alternative. You just have to contract someone to replace the rubber washers every 10 years. The screw and the rubber washer goes on top of the roof btw, its not underneath, so its just a process of replacing every screw with rubber washers. It takes awhile but again, you only have to do this every 10 years, so its not like it'll be costly.
I'm loving the progress of your house and land. Good work, brother.
Guys.. I'm not gonna lie.. this was actually extremely interesting to watch and genuinely appreciate the insight. Between y'alls directions and the architect working on it, its coming together beautifully. I'm super happy for y'all. Love the content. Thanks for the tour!
This channel has started getting me thinking what I want my dream home to be, if I wanna make it myself. Victorian, with a turret and a wood burning fireplace... could never afford it right now ofc. Just waiting on that inevitable housing market crash!

I appreciate the “Who’s that Pokémon!?” type of thumbnail and I hope you guys keep it up. Everything’s gonna be alright! You’re good people
There is special tint you can get that you can see out and it’s reflective to people outside like they use in hospitals. It would make sure you won’t have a creep but won’t cut down on sunlight inside or the view!

They live on many acres of land and their driveway is legit the longest driveway I've ever heard of... if they do tented windows then I'd say thats pretty over kill... the only place that would be understandable is the bedroom bathroom areas. The rest shouldn't be worried about.

The rest would be overkill I mean normal houses in neighborhoods don’t have tinted windows to see into normal places in the house but most bathrooms don’t have windows but their bathroom has many and the full wall of the shower you may want something to not worry about if you have family or friends over and you need a shower or possible creeps lol

Dude this is basically my dream home. Steel stone and a little wood are the best ways to go. Sturdy and everlasting.
Y'all... your new home looks INCREDIBLE already! I love all the big windows, the inlaid headboard, library, just...so many great details.😍 Luke, I'd be Hella impatient too if that was gonna be my new home lol but it'll be worth the wait. And it'll go by quicker than you think.
This house is beautiful. I’m excited for you guys and your future property. You guys truly make me feel like apart of the family.
I like that you already have hired help in your house...that's a YAY...maids, cook, valet, .etc. come with house! 🤣🤣😆. Cool, comfy, and welcoming home you have planned; I like it.
A couple minutes in and I'm imagining the house decked out in Christmas lights with a giant wreath on the door!
This looks absolutely dope! I love all the windows. Natural light is so nice. The only windows I would never have are ones in the shower/tub even if I lived nowhere near people. I’d just be too paranoid someone’s looking
Please excuse my lack of knowledge with home design but with the roof being black and metal, what would that do to the temperature indoors? Legit question since I have no idea haha. Keep up the good work you two!

House lokes dope AF. Cant wait to see it all done! Can't think of anyone who deserves it more, keep it up you two!
The house is gonna look so sick when its done! Lots of cool ideas! THATS ALL, Y'ALL! ✔
For the shower with the windows in the corner, perhaps you could do switchable privacy glass aka smart glass. It's the glass that changes from clear to frosted and back with a button.
You guys should put a secret entrance into the theater or something, that would be sick. Like through a bookcase, giant painting, or a hidden panel
I would get a white marble or quartz counter top. It compliments the black so well
Content idea: designing a house is complicated with SO MANY things you have to decide on. Talk us through your process and maybe interview your designer so someone considering the same might know the minimum info/decisions they need to bring to the table, the gotchas, etc. People that haven’t done this can’t appreciate how hard this is and many of us won’t experience it first hand.
Structural engineer here, Luke: projects ALWAYS suffer setbacks and encounter unexpected conditions. If they all went smooth and straightforward I wouldn’t have enough workload to stay busy haha. All this has me wishing I knew you IRL; Acme Acres is gonna be great. I’m trying to buy my own acres (albeit not as many) in MI, so I’ll be sharing your joys and heartaches in spirit up here haha.
We've just bought some land (significantly smaller, but still exciting) and are waiting for the banks and lawyers to do their things. Every day feels like it's taking forever, but we know that soon we will get the title and suddenly there will be a rush of activity. It's how it is. Like doing a marathon, but you're on a rollercoaster. And it's dark, so you don't actually know which way the track is going to go. Also, there's another cart, with a guy with a huge sword like in Indiana Jones and .... Well, you get the idea.
This is a going to be a beautiful home! Remember to always go with your first mind and never second guess any choices you make. Your initial first thought or feeling of something will always be what will make you happiest. Love you guys 💕💕
Can we appreciate the time and work they took to start all of this I mean this is difficult but they managed to do it I’m so happy for them and I still am so excited to see what it’s going to look like when it’s all finished!!!
Look, life happens! Totally understandable that there could be a week with no upload, especially given the situation you two are going through with dealing with the bank, contractors, etc. Don't beat yourselves up over it, I'm sure the lot of us are just excited that we get to see a different side to you and getting to see more of Genay makes my heart happy 😊 the layout and choices you two made in your home is gorgeous!!! I'm with Toonz on the metal walls, it looks so sleek 😎 can't wait to see the start of building, I know you two will be jumping for joy once things kick into action. Dealing with the bank sucks, not sure how it is with building a home, I know just buying a home it gets to be a nightmare 🙄 don't worry though I'm sure it won't be too much more waiting and then before you know it you'll see foundation being laid!
This preview of how this house looks is awesome 👌, kinda reminds me of my house although being smaller than this one
Its a super dope looking house, and i can appreciate the darker ascetic for the walls because new houses the have super bright white walls drive me insane
The walk out window idea is great! We’re building a (much less dope) house at the moment, and it went slowly at first but went from nothing to walls, shingles, and siding real quickly. Once it starts, it’ll move faster than you think!

Ain’t that the truth 😂 planning one of my houses took like 2-3 years but once the foundation was put down it lasted like 2-3 months before it was done entirely
Great layout, cant wait for the final building. Iv noticed some points that could help you. 1) The dark colors would actually store and let off a lot more heat then having lighter colors (your house will be very hot inside). Especially the roof, lighter colored roof sheets will reflex the heat rather then adsorbing. 2) Pocket doors will be hard to clean. Rather have those doors on the other leaf of the cladded wall. 3) Consider using cavity walls? This helps with insulation to keep the heat in and out during the year. 4) The drive thru, please check the height. Make provisions for a Van with a load? 5) Sustainable design. Important tips to have in a building such as yours. 6) Check out some tips on rain water harvesting, those high pitch roofs can collect a lot of water which you can use for the garden. 7) Check out some tips on passive cooling so you wont be dependent on the air-conditioning 8) How about having a section of your property for a game reserve with activities like archery, quad biking, climbing, etc. that would be exciting Take care and keep it up!

Tint your windows as well, helps with heat
Honestly youre literally the first yt ive ever seen not want to show every detail of their home. It blows my mind how many ppl show their entire home. Everything looks great btw. I cant imagine how great it must be to build your dream home.
I am building a Shed to theater conversion on my property now. Big outdoor BBQ area with natural Texas rock. I had not thought of having that table in the theater. I love that idea.
Can’t wait to see how this house comes out
Been hype all week for more acme acres
Looks excellent and exciting layout for visitors and parties. That great day when the crew gathers together when Jihi finally visits; Rilla BBQing; babylireious' running around.
I'm excited to see it come to life, it sucks that the most dangerous thing to us in our everyday lives is other people
Serious offer; I work as a designer/engineer for a custom cabinetry company that has been making cabinets for 50 years. Please consider Kaemark Salon furnishings for your cabinetry needs, we do a lot more than salons, trust me. We also deliver and install across the continental US.
The house looks so beautiful.
Don't worry. Life happens. Super excited to continue to see how your new home progresses.
Thanks for the upload
I love the layout and design scheme! You guys have merged both your styles amazingly well! Gen, you're dream kitchen is my fave!
I cannot wait to see this finished. it looks so beautiful
So glad for you guys. Looking forward to watching the progress every week.
You should get an underground swimming pool on the basement level, that would be sick AF. And im sure you would appreciate it after a workout, or in general; and your guests too, especially if they bring kids, you can "get rid of them" for the rest of the day :D

You guys, never feel discouraged that you're at a stand still with the house at times and don't have content to post. We are all here to enjoy whatever it is you give in whatever shape or form it comes in! That being said, loved this video as well as the last video with the Q&A. The house model looks GREAT, so jealous you guys are living my dream, but I'm so excited for your happiness and future in your new home! Can't wait for what next!

This looks so great!!! I love the industrial touches, especially when you think about all the nature you'll be seeing thru the windows. I personally love the look of wood and metal together and can't wait to see how this setup looks with the wood you saved from the ice house and from the trees you had to remove.

Loving this sick house! I love that y'all are so family and friend oriented and that comes into play so much in your thoughtful designs. I'd love to see the garage/driveway area with the cars on display. (if that's one of the areas you wanna keep private, tho, totally respect that). 🙂
