Watch these 3 videos and you’ll wish you could really build a house this fast

If I kept searching, I’m sure I could find a sped-up construction project of nearly every style of house and set to many genres of music, but these three stood out from the crowd. Take a look and see if you have a favorite.

Heavy-Metal House

Maybe it’s because they were building such a large house that this builder went with such hard-hitting music in the video. I know it would keep me moving if I were working on that job site.

Classical-Music House

As far as editing and camera work go, this is the most basic of the three. But the soothing classical music may still draw you in, even if you’re not a fan of modern architecture (as in the house in the video).

Folk-Music House

I could be wrong, but I’ll wager that this video will have the broadest appeal. I don’t know if it’s the clean and bright video production, the gentle nature of the acoustic music, or the modest, simply-styled home, but this is definitely my favorite of the bunch.

Editor’s note: I have to admit that I was inspired to collect these high-speed homebuilding videos after watching an absolutely amazing stop-motion video found by our friends over at FineWoodworking.com of a chair being built in a custom-furniture shop. After watching the above videos, you really need to swing over and see it for yourself:
