Canadian YouTuber Matty Clarke shared his adventure of buying and restoring a neglected house on a remote island in Newfoundland. The house, described by viewers as a “nightmare,” suffered from mold, leaks, damp floors, and peeling paint.
Clarke purchased the home over the phone and dove into repairs, despite the challenges of no roads, no power, and harsh weather. His videos chronicled his efforts to reinforce ceilings, rebuild kitchen walls, and restore wooden floors. He also used a tarp to protect the roof from further leaks.
Viewers were impressed by Clarke’s optimism and determination, praising his ability to find joy in the tough work. Comments highlighted how his positive attitude made the project enjoyable to watch.
Though the house started in poor condition, Clarke’s progress shows it’s becoming a true home, proving that passion and hard work can revive even the most damaged properties.
