Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Foamcore House!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Today's One Day Build is a homecoming for Adam, in a few ways. Using only one type of material and one cutting tool, Adam builds an architectural scale model of the house he grew up in. It's a walk down memory lane, and a return to modelmaking basics!

I would love to see u teach us how to make a small battery fog machine. Very useful for some cosplays
That's a great use for a time machine, to go back in time and buy a large house at a bargain price!
@@ericcuascut2475 ㄷㅊㅌ ㄷㅊㅌ
Would love to see it painted and furnished, maybe with a little Adam at his work bench making a little model like this. 🤔🙂

YO RICH KID CHECK OUT YOUR BIG HOME!
+Talon Seitzinger haha
Damn, you beat me to it!
gg
+Talon Seitzinger Watch 12:53 :P
+Evren Uçar I know I was just joking haha
Me - Oh sweet the house is almost complete!
Adam - Yeah so that's the basement done.
I was thinking the exact same thing !
Dead lmao
haha good point! :D
I thought the same!
Ned G-M he had a freaking mansion for a house as a kid
What I thought it was a big house turned out to be just his basement...
Marcos Vinícius Petri was searching for someone who felt the same way 😂😂
Marcos Vinícius Petri I know right
Marcos Vinícius Petri same
Marcos Vinícius Petri. ikr
honestly, aha geez
I would've put magnets on the corners of each floor so the house stays together but it isnt completely shut and is easy to open
You wouldn't do shit, that's a fact shit bird.
@@WILLYLYNCH. the fuck?
WILLY LYNCH ahahah fuckin idiot, people like you piss me off
@@WILLYLYNCH. You're a terrible person
@@WILLYLYNCH. LMAO!
Me: Hmm where's did I put my soda? Oh there it is...
Adam: NNNNOOOOOOOoooooooo...

oh wow im going to crush this can with my foot....
+ranwolf76 You know how I got these scars???
Brian Cofer
I do now... *whimpers in pain*
... 👍 💉
What is this? A house for ants?
Lovely quote :3
zoolander lol
lol
yes.... you're absolutely right
You have to make it at least three times bigger!
i guess adam grew up without a roof over his head
+Nick Revine Ba-dum-tiss.
+Nick Revine I thought the same thing
+Nick Revine He did say that they weren't rich. Roofs are expensive and lacking one made the house much more affordable.
+Nick Revine. I'd hope being a modeler at heart, he will one day finish off the house with a roof and cladding.
+Nick Revine lol I know this adam had a roof
adam:*puts blade in soda can*
2 hours later
*drinks soda*
Thanks now i have a image of adam swallowing a whole soda can in my head.
Right. Because Adam doesn't have the common sense to not drink out an empty can he just put an exacto blade in.
@@myfinalheaven9590 you're fun
It's a different can
im more upset that he throws away perfectly useable blades and probably has for a long ass time, just because it wont cut the soft material youre working with well doesnt mean it doesnt have another application
You can tell he wasnt rich because his house didnt have a roof.
LOL
They couldn't afford paint or furniture either. So sad.
And his house was just made out of foamcore hahhaha
Wadwizard ZOL not even windows or doors.
I know all these strungles...after Ken divorce me I live like a pauper...- Barbie
no insulation, no dry wall, no plumbing or electric. its amazing the code inspectors allowed construction to continue.
XD OMG that's genius!
Not even a roof!!
Foam core IS insulation... as for the other stuff, well, why do you think it was so affordable?
Lolololol
And at the end he said his house was big... pfft yeah right my house is literally 24 times the size of that thing
me: "wow, thats a big house!!"
adam: "and thats the basement!"
yea lol i was like.. damn adam used to be just like me and then he said... HERE GOES TTHE SECOND FLOOR
As an architecture student, it is highly pleasing when after so many months taking lots of time to even do a third of what he did, you start to notice how to work faster and better. Your awesome dude.
You know what I love about Adam - his energy. As much as he is a skilled craftsman, this guy is a brilliant and energetic communicator. What a great guy
So true! Adam is just great
Yep ! I'm better though.
check out Colin furzes channel, it's great
love your vids JurassicCollectables
From what I know of him he's in a perpetual state of suspended exhaustion.
yo check out rich kid over here
+opsimathics lmfao
+opsimathics 13:10
Haha, yeah, sure :0
a year's salary was STILL a lot of cash to us poor folks...
+bob rew yeah, i don't even make 10k a year!
then again, i'm still a minor...
My dad has said before that it figures the kid he never talked to in high school was Adam Savage.
epic fail
Liam Arduino ur dad is savage... u get it?
The 70's sounds like a great era to buy big houses
It was. The 1970s built some of the biggest commercial homes
People that bought houses then and are trying to sell them now are finding it difficult to sell their homes for 4.5 million dollars. Imagine that.
My folks bought a three story brand new house complete with gold shag carpeting and avocado appliances for TWELVE GRAND in 1970. They upgraded a few things like grass, fencing and a completed basement which brought the price up to 16 thousand dollars. My parents sold it for 25K after VN war ended. Today the house has been sold twice for over a half million dollars.
Yeah if you wanted a 17% mortgage rate it was awesome.
@@benrichey2593 Considering your average middle class wage could easily afford such a rate I'd take it!
The key element is time taken to pay it off.
But thanks to widening inequality, and property being used by the wealthy to stash their cash, owning a home is becoming more and more out of reach to many people.
a one year salary in 2016 will buy you a 1 bedroom foamcore apartment at 1:24th scale in some shady neighborhood
+superkaboose1066 Yeah, and the question is: Why is that so?
+superkaboose1066 In Germany you are paying 30 years salary for a small house... growing strongly.
+Snooooozel yeah... Our 125 square meter house was pretty expensive... More so cause we live in Hamburg.
omg, at the time 1:24 in the video, he says 1/24 scale. hahaha
Depends where you buy...just paid 80k for 3400 sf, 5 /4 on and acre ...110 years old needing nothing more than time (stripping paint off woodwork etc)...in south Georgia...
Thats a huge house you lived in! oh wait thats just the basement and first floor.. oh wait.. two more floors coming.. and only a years salary! what happened to our lives
He doesn't say what that salary was... Homes were indeed more affordable in that time, but one that size wasn't to many.
Where I live, the cost of housing has risen so much in the past 30 years, and the neighbourhoods have too. So my uncle bought a house in a kinda undesirable part of the city in 1970 for like $50 k. Now, the neighbourhood is a very affluent one and his house is worth about $2.4 million. This guy is so awesome that he refuses to sell his house to leave it for his kids.
Well, different country, but where I am house prices have become 10-15x more expensive in 20 years.
About a 10% (sometimes more) increase per year.
When you consider that wages often don't even keep up with inflation, that is one SERIOUS price increase.
For the US in particular I've seen stats that show that inflation-adjusted wages have actually been going down since the 1970's...
In other words, while your bank balance might be larger, your income in real terms (the stuff you can buy) has actually gone down, not up.
Prior to the 70's it was definitely increasing consistently, but after that point it's basically been stagnant/decreasing.
Depressing huh.
ZodiacProd, What happened was people bought into trickle down economics and income not keeping place with inflation and basically corrupt politicians not fixing the problem.
I wasn't wondering why it was so big, I was wondering why the fuck did it look so weird
jack duffy I was wondering the same thing, then I realized that it is probably because he didn't build the landscape around the house, and the first floor is a basement, so that probably attributes to the weird shape.
what looks weird about it?
jack duffy it looks odd because those are interior walls. there is no exterior skeleton that makes the house look comolete
That's what she said.
same reason, the 70's
This reminds me of my mom when we were building a new house. She made some drawings to show what she wanted to the architect. He said he couldn’t do what she wanted so she rolled her eyes and came back with a model she made out of foam core. Turns out he could do exactly what she wanted
Yo rich kid! check out your big home!
Lol
Thank you Adam for considering the safety of garbage men and women everywhere! 🧡
I found the garbageman or woman.
As someone who works with foamcore and exacto blades on a daily basis at work, the first rule we were taught (and teach) is to packing tape old blades onto scrap foamcore and then tape some extra scrap on top. Takes 30 seconds and could save someone thousands of dollars in doctor bills, not to mention the pain of an injury.
I thought it was common sense not to throw blades into a trash bag with no kind of protection
unicorns yeah, well common sense is at an all time low these days so......
Trashmen get paid fucking bank and their health insurance policies are locked in if you are working for the township. i like to hide sharp objects in my trash cans, give the guys a reason to collect some workman's compensation!
That was a mansion...not a house.
It's really not that big considering the bottom floor was the basement
It's a little small
Growing up we only had one floor....
+Endseeker I grew up with 4
+epic xbox one controller you don't look at the amount of floors to determine the size of a house, typically you look at the number of rooms/ square footage. Typically highshools only have 2-3 floors, those things are huge lol
If I tried to do this I would just start cutting and slapping it together from memory and end up with some janky, uncomfortably symbolic mess.
Adam's childhood basement is bigger than my entire house.
yuppp
+JordyNorm I dream about being able to live someplace as big as his basement.
It's not the size but how you use it ^_^
placid renegade I've been waiting for this comment. Nicely done.
House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!
wait...what
+DSMoe You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!
+Riddla26 Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.

Architects would say, "This model is not complete without the roof, ground context and most importantly a figure to show scale."
absolutely
exactly
"Choosing the same foamcore thickness for all walls demonstrates a lack of understanding regarding building construction systems"
"Where is the North?"
"Using the same color and texture all aroundbreduces the general understanding of your design choices"
The list goes on forever,
- Most Architecture Schools everywhere
You don't need any special tools, just get your table saw and your industrial hot glue gun
I think the point of this video is that, you can go along way with alternative materials such as x-acto blade and dollar store glue guns
Yeah ik. It's just a joke

He's not your buddy, pal!
One dry scorchingly hot day, Adam Savage was on his way to work sees a young man who looks to be dishevelled and disorientated, Adam pulls up to this strange man and asks if he needs help, the man replies "Please sir, I have been lost in the desert for 2 and a half days, I'm hungry and very thirsty", unfortunately Adam has no food or water in his Prius. Adam being a great man takes this clearly distressed person to his workplace, on arrival Adam seats the mysterious guy in his workshop whilst he goes to get food and water. In Adams absence, the man sees a soda can sitting on a work bench, in his desperation to feel a liquid of any kind trickle across his lips, he lunges at the can of soda picks it up without thinking and presses the cold aluminium to his dry cracked lips, tips his head back and swallows what very little soda remained, suddenly...he realizes...he just swallowed 29 very sharp but not that sharp xacto blades; shredding his insides within moments, a splutter is heard and then a thud.
Adam returns gleefully with a hop in his step thinking he has just saved somebodies life, but oh boy, was he wrong.
This needs to be a movie.
I had the same thought. Storing those blades in a soda can will prove fatal one day or another. You don't even need a desperate man, just your regular moronic teenager.
*****
You are grossly underestimating what a regular moronic teenager is capable of.
besides, having one of those blades in your mouth is enough to cut you up REAL bad. it wouldn't be fatal, but it'd be very painful and very uncomfortable. in fact, trying to "spit it out" (which is what a regular person would reasonably do in that situation) would probably just put you at greater risk.
Great storytelling skills 😮😄👏
1 year's salary. DAMN houses used to be cheap!
he's just lying, just leaving it out there.
+LT “John” YV
He's probably not
1 year salary for a rich person ye :p
He's probably filthy rich then.
Remember this was a new house in an unpopulated area. This means the land would have been cheap. Furthermore Wages used to be higher and everything cost less for everyone in the past. He is rich now though, because of mythbusters.
were going to be using 1 tool: the exactoknife.. *pulls out table saw*
Adams basement is bigger than my house
True
Edward C same
Same
Edward C don't fill bad, he lives in San Francisco. Have you ever been to San Francisco? You couldn't pay me to live there.
And I can't even finish a minecraft house.
Adams basement was bigger than my house! lol XD
Same
same, like 20 times bigger than my row home apartment.
same .__.
Its bigger than my appartment and the one next to ours combined! 😂
I'm an architecture student and I make with this stuff all day everyday. So fun to see a non-architecture channel make a model with it! House looks great!
One years salary doesn't even get you a down payment on a house like that these days
Lol, the deposit on my room in a flat share is about a years pay.
+Chlott85 "The damn kids have it so easy nowadays!"
+scubadog2000
lol, seriously
+Chlott85 You are living under central banker tyranny. They have redistributed purchasing power away from working capital (the source of young/working people's incomes) to assets, ie the things rich and old people own. This is why you can't afford to buy a home at 35.
+Thomas M Uh...no.
Actually it's the government that is doing what you're saying the banks are doing
He had a giant house, if I had to do this for my house I would be done in like 10 minutes
As an architecture student, when I saw his pencil I was like “Hells yeah! Blackwing!”
Ok
House? You my friend lived in a castle !!
YO RICH KID CHECK OUT YOUR BIG HOME.
:P
I wish it were still the 70s. Going to be a lot of very long days for many years before I could even consider an investment like that.
"I wish it were still the 70s." - I'm sure plenty of people see that differently, white boy.
well but he ain't those other people
SkyBoyFly :D yo chill😂
This was going to be my comment. I was gonna put something like this xD
I once knew some idiots who dropped razor blades in half filled beer cans and bet money on whether or not they could drink the beer without getting their lip cut.
+TreezDontHug
lol
plz tell me what you are talking about!sounds awesome!
this hurts my throat just reading it
What is this ? A house for ants ? I thought he said he lived in a big house .
B I T E
A HOUSE FOR ANTS 😂 if you haven't seen zoolander and said this just because then that's twice as hilarious
This build was *no way near* as personal as I thought it would be. That's a shame.
Gotta love the baby boomer generation saying the youth of today have it easy:
Oh I'm so sorry you were able to afford to buy a large house on a year's wages from unskilled labour must have been sooooo tough.
+Mark Jackson Well it depends on what you look at. Sure money wise it's more difficult to make a living, but compare other things and the youth have it much easier. Better education system, advancement of technology at an exponential rate, and other things that older generations did not have.
SuperSayin100 Vegeta I know dude haha I was just making a funny. In all seriousness I realise each generation has its problems. I do feel lucky to be living in a time where I'm unlikely to have to go to war or have to live in abject poverty, like other generations have had to do.
+Mark Jackson He said his family was middle class which is the definition of skilled labor. I don't think Adam is part of the group that is condescending towards millennials. And he's not even a baby boomer, he's a gen xer.
Micah Miranda Yeah my comment wasn't specifically directed at Adam really. I realise his parents would have been in a skilled labour profession, but nowadays even skilled labour isn't enough to buy a decent sized house at least not in my country (UK).
Mark Jackson I know. All the money has been drifting towards the upper class and no one seems to have the power to change it. Bernie has the right idea but it doesn't seem like he's going to win.
Any architecture students out there who hate foamcore as much as I do? 😂
Paradox me!😂
Haha best of luck to you mate!
I feel you on that one.
yes- because its bad
most glues don't work; you see the core when you make a blunt corner; its hard to cut at a 90° angle; it is not available in a lot of thicknesses- so you don't match the scale exactly; the white surface gets fucked up to quickly and you can't repair it; it is completely overpriced....
don't study architecture kids-- it makes you an angry person....
Oli K You know theres this thing called foam cutter where the tool has a wire and the end that cuts through foam like butter?
So funny I was thinking exactly that.....ADAM WAS A RICH KID! Billiards room he says. Lol
In San Francisco I think he can rent that model out for $1400 a month, easy :)
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY "Damn, Adam was LOADED growing up". He fucking read my mind. Nice going, man
He always does this. I start to think something about the project and bam, answers it for me.
A house like that was affordable in the 1970's? What ever happened to the American dream...
Depends on the location really
You can still find a house that size for 300-500k, just not in some city like san fran or new york. Location is key and your money will go much further in areas with lower cost of living or low land prices
In Tampa, FL I've seen houses with 10,000 sq. ft. of living space alone go for sub $500k. Location, location, location.
Nuffel Bagget, The American dream now is just that, a dream! In so called " world class " cities like NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and Miami, you have to pay anywhere from $250,000 - $500,000 and up to buy a studio or one bedroom condo, especially if you want a downtown or near downtown and nice location. A house like that in the above cities would probably go for at least $3,000,000! You've also gotta remember that the cost of living was much lower in the 1970s than today, there were fewer people around back then, and the dollar was worth much more than it does these days.
I live in Southern California and our house is a town home that shares a wall with the housing next door. It has 2 stories, 3 bed rooms, 2 bathrooms, and a super duper and i mean super duper tiny backyard. Our house alone if sold could buy three 2 story houses with huge yards and backyards with pools in Texas.
That size a house was gotten on a middle class one-year's salary in the 70's?!
How freaking far we've fallen...
It's a big pit and we're still falling.. . ... .. . .. . . .. . .
Boomers are on the way out and when they go housing is going to collapse. Great to buy, gonna suck if you already own.
thanks to economic inflation, that's a rich kid's home
Koutanya boo hoo im a poor college student, hail communism
if he is middle class with a house like that than i would be dirt class
There is a common misconception of what the "middle class" is. Any economist would tell you the definition has changed vastly over the last century. His view of the middle class is most likely a traditional view were the middle class would encompass professions such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, and so forth. Traditional definition of the middle class is skilled professionals. What we now refer to as the middle class or "working class" used to be considered the "labor class" that included things like carpenter, welder, manufacturing, and any labor based professions. It had less to do with you actual annual income but more to do with an old world traditional view of the cast system where your value was based off the profession your family held, things like ditch diggers or mortician rounding out the lower class.
James Williams you have two entirely different definitions for traditional views and definitions based on your explanation just fyi.
well, we used to be "Middle Class" my dad worked a labor job as a car painter. this is the 1990's. lived in a 3 story house with 2 acres of land. fast forword to 2013. Now live in a trailer park with no land. same job. same income.
Replace "is" with "was", the middle class has changed substantially in the past half century.
We were middle class, my parents worked hard and bought a two storey, four bedroom house, then 15 years later when they moved, the price for the type of house had like tripled.
+Renaud
In many areas like NYC, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver B.C., renting is the only option available to live on a budget less than a corporate executive's thanks to rampant real estate speculation by certain foreign and domestic entities that shall not (or cannot) be named driving up land prices way beyond what the local populace is capable of making.
(Additionally these speculators and other (undoubtedly already well off) people looking to make a buck will buy up whatever low cost houses are left on the market and only offer them up for rent, since they basically become money machines after that. One man's salary for another's.)
Great build. Now take pictures of textures like wood flooring, door trim etc. and print on card stock. Use post it note glue (comes in a glue stick at the office and art supply) so it's prepositional and isn't going to drive you crazy getting it down. Do the interior and exterior and it really will be an architectural model.
Broken Wave what has he done to deserve that? Maybe you should shut the fuck up
I think he meant mansion rather than house.
Its not his fault he grew up in a big house lol
well, he could have burnt it down. But did he?? No!
@@georgplaz
He doesn't mention the North Wing!
Nowadays, a house like this would go for $500 grand and up! That's why I told my dad to not sell the family Camaro. It would fetch $50 grand easily because it had so little mileage on it. Unfortunately, he sold it to a friend.
If you want to control a standard hot glue gun, you can use a ceiling fan dimmer circuit. Also works for soldering irons!
This ^
Nice! I have a lamp dimmer that I'm not using, I'm gonna try that.
Another thing I did was plug my gun into a socket with a remote, like the kind that people hook up xmas lights to. Works great for turning it off and on without reaching for the plug.... a remote with a dimmer would be amazing
What's the best glue for using poster foam board strips as a border against each other. I'm making 5ft mosiac letters to put balloons inside. People use hot glue but the Hot glue isn't working for me.
I love Adam being "retired". A lot of content.
This inspired me to make a model of my own childhood home! I'm working on a 1:1 scale of the cardboard box I grew up in.
hahaha,,, so how do you plan on keeping the 1:1 home?
Karen, he's doing a 1:1 of a cardboard box.
Lmfao
Rpodnee
I myself am working on the trash can I live in. It’s going great!
★MineOrbit★ You still can’t keep a cardboard box inside a cardboard box
I study architecture in Ukraine and lol this foam is pretty much unaffordable for me, so that I model with a carton. And yes, this was an easy task actually.
Yeah, well, probably I went to far, but I prefer dirt cheap ones.
well in Belgium the foam would cost 6 euro (50x70cm at 0,5cm thickness) and the carton would be 1-2 euro's for 100x70cm at 2/3mm so I prefer carton as well. That and the fact that it's not as easily defiled by dirty sweaty palms during the making and leaves a more experimental and beginner tolerance to it.
Foamcore looks just way better than carton honestly. And it's your career a Mean it should be suck a hard time buying something a little mor expensive that it's gonna look better
Gianfranco Salih Ramaglia From my experience my models look better and more authentic with carton which is also according to my teachers. - for presentation models I combine wood and carton as well which up till now has always been well received I guess it's usually the context of the assignment because at the moment I'm doing a brutalist building so carton brings across that vibe better but each their own obviously I like any well built model no matter the materials used.
Depends on what kind of sheets you use. The best one is still those semi-transparent plastic sheets. They cost a few dimes, but give you that clean and futuristic look of the OMA office models. Or even better: use epoxy casting
Dunno. I probably just would have glued the pattern to the foam core
I recently designed the house I'd like to own in Sketchup, and I kinda wanna try making it out of foamcore now.
+TheFancyUmbreon do it and come back and share it with us!
+TheFancyUmbreon 3D print it!
Mmm Sketchup
+TheFancyUmbreon you could have the design printed on A1 paper complete with the wallcoverings brick structure and stuff like that and stick those prints on the foamcore before cutting it out and glueing it together , if you make colourprints you could allmost end up with a dollshouse
when doing it this way youre prolly need to take the thicknes of the foamcore in accound if you buttjoin them together , then again you could make slantcuts and whont see any foamcore sticking out
you prolly need to stick the outside on cut it and then stick the inside up to have them alighn
+Olav Schneider that would be hella expensive. A much better route is laser cutting the parts out of cardboard/paper. I honestly love the laser cutter so much more than the 3d printer.
Im lucky to have them available to me in university, but if you do not have that try googling it. a lot of cities do have places that offer laser cutting that is priced per minute.
For me I get it for 1$ a minute, but the local shop does it for 1.5$ so a little bit more. if you are cutting paper or cardboard it won't be too much money. Foam core does not laser cut well though, the core shrinks under the paper making it not very structurally sounds. Another option would be to use a very thin wood.
Next you should add some neat smd white leds in every room with small wires and some furniture!
a year's salary!!!! Holy fuck this generation did get screwed over
I loved this project and completed my own favorite childhood home, foam core model last week! Didn't have the benefit of blueprints, but with old family photos and Google Earth tools, I nailed it. Thanks, Adam!
that is a huge house but! wish we could have seen a photo of it
is it just me or does that look like a very weird house when its finished
+Your Best Friend That is because you are seeing the basement (above ground), no textures or colors, and...no roof.
+Your Best Friend Yeah, the walls don't really line up at all.
Funny first thing I thought was damn that house is huge. Even as a model its huge.
wait you could just buy houses back then?
What if I told you that you could buy a house today too? It's really quite simple, actually.
Ryan Laurence oh yeah!? Prove it.
Knife, ruler and glue... and a table saw and sandpaper and a hot glue gun and glue sticks and 123 blocks and a band saw and an engineers square.
Going back to the simple tools!Roflmao.
meanwhile a one room apartment where i live costs much more than that did in the seventies. good shit, thanks previous generations for calling me lazy.
Depends on where you live, naturally city life will cost a considerable amount more than rural/suburban houses
Yes. Here in Italy the house my parents bought was 2 years of salary. Now for the same amount you get compassionate looks. Capitalism fuck yeah
*****
Fair enough
I notice your basement's got windows. Did you just look at a wall, then?
Jack den Heijer that part of the home was probably peeking out from the ground, the house was probably on a slope, or he did it so he could look inside idk
Are you an architect? Nice work BTW! Love your shop and the mobile work tables! I want to do the same thing to my current home. I took drawing classes in HS and college. I am skilled at ACAD etc. I plan to render my drawings from actual drawings which isn't easy. My house is from like 1926, how could I get actual prints of the house? Thanks
By halfway through this video I thought, "Damn, Adam grew up rich!"
+Dan Doughbin Had the exact same thought... I was pleasantly surprised when he said something about it.
Should've just glued the plans to the foam core if he was going to cut them out anyways.
I thought he was done when he finished the basement because im like yea thats a pretty big house then hes like ok now time for the first floor
noice profile pic :P
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!
I just find this video to be extremely amazing. Thank you.
Adam is suddenly got super high at 7:26
Ŧ You made my day.
LMAO I thought the same thing and your comment made me laugh out loud! xD
69th like
He was probably yawning
Luxury, we lived in a hole in the ground.
You had a hole? We lived in a washing machine box...
I didn`t either until a few months ago.
You`ll get one ;)
We were evicted from our hole in the ground. We had to go live in a lake.
jan christian Frodahl
Well at least you had a lake, we had to live in a rolled up newspaper in a septic-tank
Me: Hmm where's did I put my soda? Oh there it is...
Adam: NNNNOOOOOOOoooooooo...
QwertyKing05 haha
I can make my childhood home from a half sheet of foam board and maybe 1 glue stick. You were a rich kid Adam and that's okay because you definitely don't act like one!
My 60's and 70's childhood homes were a fraction of that size, and we were "middle class".
Nerfball6 then you probably lived in a more expensive area
YOU RICH KID, CHECK OUT TO BIG HOME.
come in my van
TheDappertwat the house is so cheap

it'd made out of foam
What!!! is this a home for ants!!!
When i think about the price it cost to get a home today, I feel like something went wrong. 300k and you get a modest ordinary home without much land at all. (Quebec). It just doesn't make sense, salary and jobs are low, and one need a lifetime to pay back a simple humble house.
ça c'est vrai monhomme.
STEEVEWES On veille tard ? :P
+Promethor ouais man. je fini de travailler a minuit... Et pui Les videos d'adam sont relax haha!
STEEVEWES Aww, tu me fait penser quand j'tait chez Olymel, travailler 10h/j jusqua 2am. Pire job j'ai jamais eu. J'aime bien Adam aussi, j'aimerai ca avoir un atelier et construire plein trucs comme il fait :)
+Promethor je travail dans un dépanneur. je fait du 15h à 00h00. haha les jobs de soir/nuit c'est donne une autre perception
Looks like a house from PUBG
perfect villa for hamsters.
Maybe not hamsters, hex bugs maybe?
even better.
Or you could make it into a fish aquarium.
Ahh, a one day build... the only reason I sub to this channel :)
+Max Klein not my only reason but a HUGE part of me subscribing xD
if I did this whit my house it would be realy boring and I would be done in 5 minuts
+Simon Burgers It's all in the details. I could rebuild my dorm room in 32mm scale in half an hour. Or I could spend Days recreating the furniture, finding and printing images of the posters I had on the walls, the bed, the kickass stereo, the teapot (omg I loved that teapot. So sad it broke) ...
I mean that my house is tiny.
This is an excellent idea to build a physical model for a virtual memory palace. To get it in your head, so to speak. Thanks.
Why does this guy look like the guy from mythbusters? 🤔🤔🤔
Because he's the same guy.
j.tv lol its a joke 😁😁😁
R/woosh
No seriously, he really does look just like him.
Heavy T no it is the guy
they must have been really poor.. they didn't have a roof..
Insane what you could get with a one-year salary in the 70s.
You can get 100 hookers with 5$
LT Dan How do you know? O_o

6:00 pause the video ,then go here.
Everything is your favourite thing of all time Adam ;)
+Ross Bishop And he has a lot of friends.
+Ross Bishop Gotta love people that are enthusiastic.
Adam should make miniature foam core furniture for the house, then he should paint it.
I built models like this in high school and in college in architecture school. I always just spray-mounted the floor plan directly to the base foam core, and cut out the floor footprint directly using a straightedge and the printed lines of the plan. That would have saved a lot of time.
+Patrick94GSR i dont know why the great adam savage didnt do that either.
Boy oh Boy!!! did this build bring back some memories from Archi-Torture School
