The Excellent Laborer

I started The Excellent Laborer channel as a way to document my journey of building houses on my own. I have been in the construction field for 20+ years and have worked with various companies, learning the skills needed to start building my own homes and acting as my own contractor. I wanted to share my knowledge with others who are interested in learning about construction and enlighten my viewers on various DIY projects. The channel has been a great success, and I have received a lot of positive feedback from viewers. I am always looking for new ways to improve the channel and provide value for my viewers. I appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to grow the channel in the future. Thanks for watching!

So, what are you waiting for? See the progress of future projects by subscribing to my channel today! With over 12 million video views total and growing every day - there is no better time than now.

Happy Father’s Day to the man who taught me the value of hard work, integrity, and building with your hands.

Some of my best lessons weren’t learned in a classroom they were learned standing next to my dad, holding a hammer or running wire, watching how he approached every problem with grit and patience.

To all the dads out there teaching their kids how to build something real, thank you. You’re not just raising builders, you’re raising better humans.

đŸ‘·â€â™‚ïžđŸ’Ș Let’s keep passing it on.

DIY isn’t always pretty.

It’s late. You’re tired. You’ve been staring at that one crooked board, second guessing your entire skillset.
You’ve made 3 trips to the hardware store, you’re covered in sawdust or grout or paint, and your family is wondering what “just a quick project” really means.
But here’s the thing most people don’t see:

You’re learning.

You’re improving.

You’re building something not just with your hands, but with your mind.

That’s why we keep doing it. Not for perfection but for progress.

If you’re in the middle of a messy, frustrating, rewarding, totally worth it project right now keep going.

We’ve all been there.
