Matty Clarke, a Canadian YouTuber, took on a huge challenge when he bought an abandoned house on a remote island in Newfoundland. The house was in terrible shape—moldy, with a leaking roof and damaged floors—far from the cozy retreat many dream of.
Clarke bought the property over the phone and immediately set to work, despite the isolation and lack of basic amenities like roads and electricity. Over several months, he faced tough weather and constant repairs, sharing his journey with viewers who admired his upbeat spirit.
In his videos, Clarke showed how he reinforced sagging ceilings and planned to build new walls to protect the kitchen. He also revealed the original wooden floors beneath worn surfaces, promising to restore their beauty. To stop water damage, he temporarily covered the roof with a tarp.
Fans of the channel praised Clarke’s positive outlook, calling his enthusiasm refreshing and inspiring. Many said watching him turn a “nightmare” into a dream was uplifting.
Thanks to his dedication, the house is steadily transforming, showing that with patience and passion, even the most forgotten places can be brought back to life.
