Mr. Build It

Everyman and dad Alex Mazhukhin (YouTube’s Mr. Build It) DIYs his way through the everyday projects any homeowner is likely to encounter.

Mazhukhin has more than 700,000 followers on his YouTube channel. He started in DIY in 2015 when he and his wife Irina, an interior designer, bought a house in Boise, Idaho. “The house was a fixer-upper in need of a lot of work, and the budget to do it was nonexistent,” he says.

Following other social media accounts for project inspiration, Mazhukhin says he began watching other people and then practicing on his house.

In the new series, Mazhukhin says we can expect projects like building a giant open kitchen, replacing a brown stone fireplace and building a real Swedish sauna in an old unused shed.

Pet Palaces

Celebrate two things we love the most — animals, and building awesome habitats! We’ve mashed the two together to showcase the builds behind the most amazing indoor and outdoor dog houses, cat quarters, lizard lairs and all-around pet palaces. 

Host Luke Barr grew up in a family of carpenters and electricians, so he’s been immersed in projects since an early age. Now, he’s looking forward to creating innovative structures for animals and their humans. “Designing spaces for animals is a new challenge for me,” says Barr. “There’s a lot more that goes into it than just walls and paint.”
