Scott and Nate - I have to admit, I was a bit nervous watching this video when I saw it on my feed. I knew about some of these from our discussions and your other videos but some are new to me. We feel very fortunate that we get to own this house and know we could never have it built for what we paid even if we were given the lot. I did expect to see the main stairs be mentioned but there isn't anything I would add to your list based on the last 2 years of using the house. This video demonstrates how humble you two are by admitting your mistakes to help others and doesn't change the way we feel about the house. There are so many ways and opinions to build a house and I think you did a great job with the final product while not completely losing sight of the targeted price point. That pot filler accident was a big set back but is likely the reason we got to be the owners. Had that not occurred then the Spec House would have hit the market a couple months earlier and we were not in the position to buy at that time because our previous house was just hitting the market. I look forward to the Shop Talk sessions you host and always learn something.

The Spec House Series is hall of fame youtube. This is an important educational document that will be shared with many moving forward.

Humble enough to not only admit, but share your mistakes with a few million others- in hopes they avoid the same. Keep up the good work. ❤

I watched every episode, and loved the series. And it's no shock to me you're only just healed from it now! For me the only mistake that's worth counting is buying that site. It was so difficult in every single way. If you had had a more conventional site that would have given you a bit more bandwidth to do everything else, and mitigate the need for crazy retaining walls, and compromised access

The Spec House series is, without a doubt, the best long format teaching content that I've seen anywhere!

I’ve never really considered a pot filler over the stove. It makes perfect sense to AVOID installing a water source without a drain to evacuate the inevitable leak. Now I know not to ever install one! Thanks for displaying your mistakes!

Watching this spec house being built on YouTube and having the opportunity to meet you and see the house is something I will never forget. Thank you.

I thought it was an absolute masterpiece. Not many housebuilders are perfectionists.

This video is what we love about EC! We aren't afraid of mistakes. They are an opportunity to learn. And ill say this, as someone who is about to start the journey of building my families forever home, this is the greatest series ever.

You made a handful of mistakes amongst the tens of thousands of tasks you completed perfectly. You deserve an Olympic Gold medal for this massive achievement. Your work ethic is incredible. Well done.

No build was ever seamless. I admire those that share their true experiences and remain humbled. Knowledge obtained through error embeds deep. Thank you once again!

I’ve kept up with this build and am stoked y’all finished it. I own a small plumbing business in Hawaii and I’ve gotta say that watching Phil made me a better plumber.

I never thought I’d see a video on this home again, what a pleasure to watch from start to finish but it’s also awesome to see a video come out about mistakes or what you may have done differently. I’m 34 and still learning new stuff everyday and to be humble and critique my work. I’m glad to see a seasoned professional doing the same.

It takes a lot to own up to your mistakes, putting your ego aside so others can stand on your shoulders. But the value in the lessons from a mistake are lifelong ,so thank you for sharing them for us to learn from.

These "De-Brief" videos are just as, if not more valuable than the original build series. Thank you for all you do to teach all of us!

It was an incredibly fantastic series to be sure, and when you humbly point out a list of your own mistakes (that you can count on only one hand) it's obvious that the building team hit a home run...and has nothing to regret or be ashamed of. And, might I add, I hope this video series is being used in corporations and universities as a perfect study of team building, project management, communication...not to mention physics, fluid dynamics...and the list goes on. A magnum opus on many levels, covering multiple disciplines. Outstanding.

Scott, what you do is fantastic. Felt under shingles is NOT a mistake. Felt is an excellent building material, much underappreciated because of new wraps. I take a slightly different view regarding the "Pot Filler Incident". The mistake is not in putting in a pot filler, but putting wood in the kitchen floor. I know, everyone wants it now, but the reality of wood floors in kitchen service hasn't changed. Huge Respect.
