Scott, I would love to see you buy and renovate a property. Because: a - you and your better half deserve better than a flat, and b: because you would kill that. Cheers, mate!

Yes! Similar to the 'essential craftsman' house build series but as a full renovation.

I restore old cars for fun and have been offered a lot of money to do it professionally. I would never do that as turning a hobby into a job sounds like a nightmare. I suspect Scott is the same, but the other way around - the thought of having to work on his own house after having worked on someone elses is likely depressing. Also, nothing wrong with living in a flat, much less crap to deal with, not sure a house is necessarily better. I live in a a detached house now, thinking of going back to a flat....

Hahah, are you kidding? he lives in Auckland.... he needs to do 20 more renovations like this to get a deposit hahah

I love it all. But Paerau's little wall unit really shows the attention to detail.

Completely agree, Sometimes you wonder if this should be "Paerau's Carpentry" KZread channel as he's clearly the master craftsman here! 🤣😝

For that window in the shower, try to have the sloped tile over the wall tile, so that the butted grout line is facing into the shower and not up towards the ceiling. It’s less risk of water intrusion at that point.

Great to see someone actually taking pride in that they do rather than crash bang wallop, good attitude = good results

Work to be proud of. Best result? In my opinion, “Looks like it was always there.” Thanks for the videos.

Amazing how I hardly watch TV any more, but spend ages watching awesome content like yours on KZread. Great Work!

If all the construction workers would care about old houses like you do, the world would be a better place. And thanks for all the time consuming video's you make. They are great to watch and very useful.

Paereau has skills to pay the bills for sure. Any chance of a short “Pareau makes...” series.

They started with one but we never saw much of it and left us hanging. His sleepout in his backyard.

Of all of your projects, I think this house has been the most dramatic transformation.

I followed this renovation from day 1. I must say it turned out fantastic. Cheers from the state of Washington.

Ima address the white elephant in the room, let's be honest none of this would be possible without Rich...the man,hardest worker,funniest 1 liners,give it up people!! (as per our agreement you owe me a box Rich✌)

@@novosib9017 I’ve been trying to complete a large garage renovation at home. Taking ages due to shortages of materials.

Scott's such a nice guy, really makes me smile to see how much pride and joy he gets from walking through a beast of a finished product.

Work of art. House price just went up big time, happy owners.

Paerau - 100% amazing job on those shelves. The pocket shelving is great, but the reclaimed kitchen ones with the slotting is 10/10 craftsmanship. He always does some of the most underrated work, and with amazing craftsmanship. I thought his bowtie to fix the reclaimed wood in previous episodes was also super on point.

I love the open kitchen and back deck. Makes it feel like a much bigger space without all the walls and doors

Watched this whole series as it came out. Rewatching it and I really love how this renovation comes out. If I hadn't already been hooked on SBC videos this series would have got me 100%

Fabulous renovation. Well done SBC.😎

Insane they kept some of the stuff they kept when they put in so much work already. I think the bathroom could use a new door hah

That WAS exciting.

I would try to have the shower niche tile run over the wall tile so the grout line isn’t facing ceiling, but rather on the side. Less chance of water intrusion and less chance of that grout line slowly whittling away. Saves you a callback. And you mentioned planing and straightening out the bathroom- does your code allow for the mud lathe method for the shower wall?- (Moisture barrier, stucco lathe with wadded nails, and limed mud?) It is a lot easier to float out and create a straight/plumb wall rather than plane everything. You only lose a 3/4” to 1.5” per wall in the grand scheme of things. Save a lot on labor and save yourself tons of frustration. Nice job!

It's the little touches, that makes your work cool.

The little raked ceiling in the kitchen that flows out to the raked eaves looks so good man!

That's a lovely villa. I love old buildings. My flat in Glasgow was built in 1895 and while it needs looking after from time to time there's tons of character.

Absolutely Amazing work, you guys are master craftsman 👌🏻

I'm away for a few years in the UK so its lovely to watch this series and see all my old favourite smoko bakeries especially the french cafe opposite Bunnings. Great work and attention to detail.

What an amazing transformation. Beautiful work and great attention to detail. It would be interesting to hear from the homeowners - would love to understand the thinking behind some of the decisions as well as their budget. Also think they're going to end up regretting that ginormous folding back door - beautiful, but a nightmare to maintain.

Hate NZ current demolish beautiful old houses to put up flats and high rise shit boxes. Love the fact you recycle and take apart with an eye on using later. Shame we are losing so many old houses in Wgtn and Akl . Peter O

Ahhhh i get such a throwback from the intro. Bought the same exact socks while being in NZ

keeping the style while adding a modern flair takes a deft touch, you and your crew did an awesome job. That is a statement piece for "Scott Brown Carpentry".

Scott, this was a very enjoyable series. The quality of your workmanship and production quality of your videos is top notch. I learned a few tricks and know to avoid the Makita coffee maker. Worth a patreon subscription.

I learned to avoid the Makita coffee maker by watching James Hoffman, the Weird Coffee Person, so it's reassuring that Scott as an amateur coffee connoisseur agrees.

Great results! House leveling, small extension/ open plan with big timber bifold doors leading to a new deck outside, new kitchen and bathroom! Just estimating the costs in Auckland to do a reno like this, maybe $300k? But definitely worth it given the house price in Kingsland.

Great to see how this turned out, and the before-and-after shots. Super work.

Wow it ended up being such a cool mix between old and new. That home is super comfy and now also beautiful again. Got to say though, I expect that weird bathroom window to become an eternal fight against mildew forming

These before and after summary videos are incredible.

Amazing job Scott. The people of New Zealand are lucky to have a builder of you skill and integrity.

Watch the video again and it’s still a great watch Scott,congratulations on a project well done.👍👍👍

I bought this because I did not have a clue about the design, materials composition and building of a shed. kzread.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAquIt is absolutely fascinating, with clear, readable text and helpful illustrations also enough videos. There is a great sense of creativity and enthusiasm underlying the projects which the authors develop, from a bike shed to a glorious eco-shed. I like the way explanations are provided for decisions made from a range of options. I am not really in a position to rate the more technical detail, but think I am prepared to boldly go shed- building, equipped with this manual.

Awesome job, finishing details amazing, Google earth crack up

Wow that turned out awesome!

Wow! From a dumpy little house to something that could be featured in a magazine. Fantastic work.

You should be so proud of how this turned out Scott, well done!

Your team has given it a wonderful atmosphere, enjoy Play safe from Elliot lake Ontario Canada.

Well done boys! Great job. Every builder would like someone like Paerau working for them.

Why is it that I’ve already watched every episode of this villa, yet I’m sitting here enjoying it all over and making sure I’m paying attention to every velvety smooth thing “Scott Brown Here” says 😂😂😂 I say all this in the most manliest way possible 🤣💪🏽

Your work is bang on, keep up the graft gents

Fantastic. Takes me back to the 1901 Reno I did in Sydney. You did a great job

Always entertaining, informative, and relaxing. This one blows me away to see it all together. Great job boys!

Top notch work boys! I would ask for a job, but I love that you keep it simple with just a few good carpenters 👌🏼

Thanks for the video man. It looks absolutely amazing, please , you guys, keep up the beautiful job that you’re doing. I did my fair share of houses renovation and impossible projects, but the joy and accomplishment at the end of each job, covers the hard work. The memories of those jobs still puts a smile on, every time I remember them. You guys make a good and amazing job!!!!!

What an absolutely fantastic overhaul, absolutely speechless!

Nothing to do with the renovation, but I love seeing the Michael Schwab poster of the Cliff House in San Francisco at 07:57. I am amazed that these posters that we see all over the place here in the Bay Area have travelled around the world - all from an artist (here in my town) who has developed a totally iconic style without using any digital tools. Great stuff. Love the villa reno, too, obvs.

Great job Scott. Looks great.

I watched each episode of this renovation but to see this going back over the work done and the end result is amazing. This project is a credit to you and all who worked on it. If I could spell Pradue's name I would mention him as a great partner in this build. I am sure the owners are so pleased with the end result.

After binge watching 294 episodes in a few days.. this episode was a long wait.. always love a Scott brown upload. 👌

that house jumped up in value REAL quick with this renovation. from a sad old house to a dream villa.

Terrific journey Scott,enjoyed every minute. Thanks for all your videos.👍👍👍👍

Great work Scott and team.

You guys are unique and super professional, thank you for showing how to work ...

That was amazing!! Thanks for the videos!

Awesome job! Like every time!

Finally a new vid! Thank you!

You should be so proud of yourself Scott, great job 👍🏻

Cracking series mate, a true craftsman. Found myself on Google earth once, corner of Cambridge terrace and Montreal street christchurch, circa 2015/2016, rocking a pair of hi vis overalls getting ready to dig a hole! Have a great weekend

Absolutely stunning. Well done lads!

Great work Scott! I'm seriously proud of you! Thank you very much for the videos!

Love the content Keep it up Much love!

love it! Great job!

Scott - love this start to finish video - we get to see a lot of the ‘before’ and the ‘during’. Would be great to see more of the ‘after’. If you lived on the Central Coat north of Sydney, I would definitely engage you to do our next reno!

Well done, the house looks great.

Great to see how proud you are of your work !

Looks amazing

Beautiful work, Scott. All that and a G.E. celebrity!

Hat off to you Scott. Its a tough job being behind the mental work AND the physical work for Renovations like these. I Also Run a Small Reno business and every time i get sick of the day i tell myself "Scott would eat this for breakfast" haha. Good Job. Btw your methods have inspired me to be even neater and have more dust control on my sites.

Absolutely beautiful job fellas, quality work as always.
