The Book That Started It All

At 22, I bought a dilapidated house for $79,500. With no formal training beyond YouTube videos and a willingness to work, I spent the next year transforming it into a $250,000 home—and documented every cut, every mistake, every lesson along the way.

Now, with over 465,000 YouTube subscribers and millions of views, I'm on a mission: show young people that the skilled trades are a path to freedom, financial security, and genuine pride in your work.
