At this point demolish the entire interior and redesign the whole place to what you want. I would keep going until all of the rot is completely gone. At that point it may be better money spent to just doze the whole house and start from scratch. Leave one wall up so that it is a "renovation" for permit and impact fee reasons and build what you want. I would not spend any money until all demolition is complete and you know exactly what you have. I have seen these types of projects turn into real cash flow problems where it flat out cost more to fix than to simply replace and have something new.

This is genius, fixing these problems now, instead of having to rip everything out a few years down the road to fix it then is very smart. Plus you are documenting these repairs for future renters or potential buyers to see the renovations were done correctly. Also, there is the benefit of being able to look back at these videos to find structural locations of plumbing, electrical, and framing locations. In the end, you have invested more money and hard work, but I believe you will reap the rewards from a job well done! I'm starting to get some crazy ideas, especially since I live in a rural area, that I don't have to spend a ton of money to get some rental property! This is getting dangerous for me to watch!

I don't know what rules and regulations are in the US but going by what he said in the video he could have simply left the damage and only repaired what was needed, E.G, the leak in the roof. From what I gathered he could cut through short cuts to save time and money and it would be a problem for someone else if he actually sold the house. I've noticed this type of sloppy workmanship a lot. In fact the house I'm in now shows signs of exactly that.

My father would have been so proud of you and would have been begging me to find you so he could come help! He LOVED this kind of work (well, "play" to him). Thank you so much for preserving and improving these oldies!

I feel very invested in this project just from watching. This is fascinating.

Great series. You're inspiring man. Keep it up (and for what its worth, I like the 2min no voice, the 45min talking at the camera - its all good). For me the thing that makes you stand out against a lot of other (especially woodworking) youtubers is that you're doing this stuff regardless of the filming. I actually think its awesome that you occasionally dont post for a while because it reinforces the idea that this channel is a peek into your actual life and work. That's super valuable and unique. For me at least, I'd much rather watch someone who's doing work to make a living or pursue a passion - rather than running down a list of video ideas that will take less than a week to shoot, film, and advertise. Thanks for all you do

I agree Jena, it not really a how to thing and I'd say how many minutes of ripping stuff out needs to be shown. It really is the same stuff. I can understand Corayye comment. Some people would like to watch that endlessly and others get the point after a few minutes and would get bored. I'm sure a lot of "good" video doesn't get posted that was shot and there may be a market for posting longer versions for those who would watch. I for one would like just the gist of what's involved and probably wouldn't want to watch 20+ minutes of busting out a wall but that's just me. Cheers people.

Love what you are doing. I am an old Bama Boy myself. Retired now and have some past experience in fire restoration. When I see what you are doing I think back how much I loved doing what you are doing now. My mind races like 90 miles an hour on possibilities .So many ways of doing this kind of work. Right now I am thinking that all that ugly block walls could be sealed with spray paint that we used to use in fire restoration. #1 it will seal it#2 kills a lot of crap like mold stains and smells.#3 I found that working in these old houses can get a bit depressing after working all night on one. Once it was sprayed down wich does not take long todo .It just brightened up everything .Cleaner ,fresher all most like you were working on a new construction. It kind clears your mind when looking at everything and planning what you are going to do. Don't know if that makes any sense . I would love to just take off and go down there and meet you. Maybe could work together on a few things. I got some equipment that might be very handy for what you are doing . After I retired I am about to go nuts looking for something to do.

I suspect a chain reaction. The floor damage was probably from leaks in the original flat roof that made them go ahead and put the pitched roof on and they put the ply down as a band-aid to cover the damage. It is going to be nice once it starts going back together.

I'd just like to say from me watching your very first video in this house has been very exciting for me. It also touched me when you said "I want happy tenants". My first place was an apartment, then I upgraded to a townhouse and finally decided with my boyfriend that we wanted to rent a house, this was back in 2015. We dealt with a 'slum lord' who made all these promises to what she was going to do with the house etc etc and it never happened and we only ended up living there for a year before she had the nerve to want to raise our rent $275 and the house was NOT worth it! We have been living in an apartment again since then and now with our lease up in April we plan on moving our little family into another house but this time we know exactly what to look for! I appreciate your videos.

It would be cool to put the washer n dryer in the utility room along w some pantry shelves. Its awesome to see a hard working man..

My recommendation would be a access panel to those areas that the plumbing would fail,. I have been in this situation. Plumbing doesn't last forever.

Well I stumbled across your first video in this series in my recommendations and to be honest I'm not sure why, quite a strange recommendation considering I haven't been watching anything remotely relevant. Though so far it's been extremely entertaining. I'll probably forget a lot of this at some point but I'm sure I'll remember certain bits and pieces. With that said I do have something else to say. I don't live in the US, in fact I never have. I however watched a video months ago from a safety inspector for roofs where he came out and inspected roofs that had been either redone or was from scratch and to make sure they were done properly. I learnt two things. One was that Americans use a roofing material called Shingle that as far as I am aware isn't even a thing in my country, we use roof tiles. Secondly, what to look out for on a shingle roof that may or will cause leaks. In your video on demolishing the chimney I noticed quite a few area where it hadn't been done properly. I noticed a piece against the chimney that wasn't done properly in which I think had the guy that I was mentioning had seen it he would have said something. In fact if you go back to that very video and pause at 0:10 and look at the middle bottom of the screen the patch job that was done was done poorly. The water would run down into that gap and create a pool that would eventually slowly seep into the roof and cause water damage over the years because it cannot perfectly run down the roof. Also in the left corner closest to the camera where the black is there is a gap that would allow water to build and slowly seep into the roof. Of course not mentioning the other gap in the right side of the chimney, the other gaps behind where you're standing or the other two gaps surrounding the top pipes sticking up.

Demo, demo, demo... New roof, new floor, adjust the subfloor, new plumbing, new electrical, new stucco exterior and paint, buttress failing walls. It all looks good now but it seems like you could find a lot for $6,000 and frame in a new house of the same size for ~$6,000, and be farther along. But don't go by what I say. I remodeled a home once and spent 4+ years on it.

That's a teardown. Reframe with 2x6's,would be easier. Those cinder blocks look weak.

Put a vapor barrier down under the house too.

Never use OSB on floors, especially in a kitchen. USE Waterproof laminated exterior 3/4" or 7/8 Plywood underlayment sheets are the ONLY way to go... then lay 1/2" hardybacker and porcelain tile...or whatever the finished floor you choose. Under carpet in the other rooms, I would use the same Plywood underlayment and then a waterproof vapor barrier under the carpet or finished wood flooring.... OSB is garbage and will soak up condensation and water like a sponge and will rot within a few years or less....

does anyone know what state he is buying these cheap house? im guessing Alabama or Louisiana also have anyone else ever paid a price like this for a home before in the recently if so let me know what state was it in.

It'll be a pain in the ass, but while the floor is out, you might consider digging a trench crawlspace from the area that is high enough over to the plumbing in the kitchen, so if you ever need to do modifications or repairs you can get there. I can second your sentiment about remodeling, after spending 4 years working remodels in construction, I've seen marvels of half-assing that will boggle the mind. Any time I build things now, I always think to myself "Will the person who opens this up in 20-30 years ask "What the Hell was this guy thinking?" and try to work so they won't be frustrated by my work.
