Welcome back everyone, I had to take some time off but I am back for another big year of working on junky houses. As this house gets near to the final day of work, think about what you would like to see next. In this video, I tear out the old steps and build new. It felt good to get this task done. I'll be tackling more soon so stay tuned. I'll probably do a video every 2 weeks for now, maybe more and if I get busy, maybe less. But I promise I'm doing as many as I can.
Thank you all for the time you spend watching my videos. Looking forward to hearing from you in the comments and emails. Thanks again.

    Personally, I’d watch you renovate house after house after house. Yes, technically they’re the same, the same steps, the same skills, but it’s about how you adapt to the older home, its problems, and the condition you find it in that makes it super interesting. Plus, I personally never get tired of watching renovating content, I soak it in by osmosis and watching similar content over and over helps me learn without traditional book reading or note taking.

    I've pretty much concluded I'll watch ANY content you put out. I initially came for the woodworking but stayed and subbed to the other channels because of the work ethic and determination. At 63, I won't be restoring an old house anytime soon and yet I watch every single one of your uploads. I just have to say how much I appreciate your videos - especially during these crazy and increasingly alarming times (not even talking about covid). There's just something very calming about watching you get dirty and smash concrete - provides a sense of normalcy. So thank you for that.

And I miss him everyday. Seeing his little girl helping her daddy. Brought all those feelings back. My dad was a carpenter who could make everything. He could draw plans, do the start to finish carpentry. Then when I was a senior in high school he became a general contractor and built commercial buildings that I still drive by today. Miss you dad.😥

    Cabin sounds good. I'd also be interested in seeing the renovation of the other house, You might feel as though the videos are the same from one house to the next but every house you renovate is new and presents you with different challenges and watching how that pans out is the interesting bit, so it doesn't feel repetitive from my perspective. If it were me I'd stay away from generator in the cabin and go with solar, the price of basic solar and batteries have come down a lot and once it's setup it's very low maintenance, especially if it's a small system that only powers lights and then you have a wood stove to heat, cook, and warm water with. The noise of a generator can be grating if you're trying to relax and it's a pain to have to keep it topped up with fuel.

    I've seen a fair few channels do log cabin builds, I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but while it's new for you to do it's not new for youtube. No doubt yours would be better, you know, because. What drew me into your channel, besides your obvious charm and good looks, was seeing you say, "I'll just paint the door", then demolish the whole house and get seemingly in way over your head, but then just build your way out of it. There's just something cathartic about watching someone take something old and ramshackle and give it a brand new lease on life.

    I love his content. He keeps it simple and the music is relaxing. He doesn't act fake and just seems to be his genuine self. I respect his need for privacy and it's very rare for someone to not want exposure or fame from the videos they make. I appreciate that he doesn't let his viewers pressure him to make videos when he isn't able to and the audience he's curated to seems to really understand his circumstances. He does take sponsors, but you can tell he researches them well and you can tell he is a smart enough person to not attach his name to just any product. Just an all-around great channel to watch.

It's been 2 1/2 years and we still have it. Why? Because our elected officials don't think it is a good idea to end it even after we voted to do so. They said it would cause undue harm/confusion with Mexico because we share a border with them. This is what we deal with here. We aren't even close to free. The Mexico argument has since been refuted but they still won't go through with the procedural vote to end it.

    As far as content goes this is the only renovation channel I’ve ever stuck with. I got excited when I saw you posted a video and was happy to watch. I see both sides of it. You could knock a house out a lot faster if you weren’t recording every step. And you feel like your fans might get tired of watching similar content. But if they’re like me they’ve learned a lot and also find it aesthetically pleasing. Do what’s best for you and your family and don’t get burnt out. If you’re tired of doing the same thing do something different. If you really just want to get a house done fast and don’t want to fool with recording every step then do that. I’ll miss the renovation videos but you’ve made so many. You don’t owe us anything. I’ve watched a log cabin build and I think it would be cool to see you do one. The guy I watched used hand tools only which I thought was interesting. Whatever you decide thanks for everything you’ve already done!

Because it would trap the water and rot. OK I'm puzzled too.

    We used that for a sidewalk in the back garden and along the side of our house, plus one corner of the driveway a few years ago. It's okay, nothing special. Lighter than mudjacking, which is what they call it here in western Canada when they use a form of concrete to pump under concrete that needs lifting. Warning, don't touch the hardened foam with bare skin. I nearly lost all the skin on my hands after carelessly tidying up extruding lumps and bits after the contractor left. Allergies or toxin, I don't know but it was not fun. 😖

If you were going to do a cabin, it would still be a fit I imagine, but I'd be just as happy to watch another house, even if it is similar, just because it is cool to see the great work you do.

    I know you’ve gotten your houses inspected in the past. Something the inspector might knock you for is the last “Step” onto the patio is not a full height step it looks 2-3” compared to the others which are consistent. This is against code and also a tripping hazard. The human brain takes very consistent steps when not paying attention and someone could easily miss that last lip. Not trying to be a jerk, I enjoy all your videos, I’m just pointing out a potential hazard and code violation.

What we like watching is YOU specifically doing your thing in the way you do it, so it's something you're passionate about, it's going to be compelling for the rest of us to watch. Dude, we watched you gradually smash up a concrete block over several months. Best pay off ever. We would watch you watch paint dry.

    I'm perfectly happy to watch you go through the same steps with another house. No two houses are exactly the same, and watching you solve the problems of each house helps me see different ideas for solving the problems in my house. It is also exciting to see a complete destroyed house become a warm, inviting family home again. I also like to watch urban explorers from time to time, but they begin to break my heart to see all the abandoned family homes around. Worldwide, the population is aging and there are fewer and fewer young folks to occupy these older homes, and so many folks don't want to take the time and effort to update these homes. Our history is being lost as these homes are lost. You are the antithesis of the urban explorer channels. You aren't documenting the loss, you are saving what is being lost and making it useful again. I can't wait to see the farmhouse made livable and useful and loved again. On a side note, it is lovely to see your family, even if only their voices and backs. Family is exactly what these homes are about. Family is so much what we have lost.

    It's interesting to watch the outcome of the decision making when faced with the challenge of what to do. If money is no question, you take out the old porch, steps, and the walk and redo it all. But here you're having to decide how to make it look good while working within the constraints you have (mainly time and money - and a child - kids change everything). Cutting out the top of the porch to give the full tread width was an interesting choice for sure. It works and doesn't look half bad. I'm thinking you could have done just two steps and not had the two-inch (approx.) distance there from the top step to the porch height. Of course, your step height for the two would need to be a bit higher and possibly not what would feel right. I'm just thinking how that last step will feel when you're almost at the porch height. Sorry for the rambling. Great work as always.
