Came here for the skateboard comment and I wasn’t disappointed!

Someone please get this man some safety boots.

I find this project extremely interesting,I just can't seem to get enough thanks for sharing.

I have a skateboard I use for jobs around the house too. It's really awesome to move furniture. 😉

Thank you so much for numbering your videos on this house project...it really helps! Hope you'll number all of them in the future!

You do good honest work. Good to see there are still craftsman like you.

Skateboard Sawhorse might be the name of my next band!

wow the more this house comes apart I wonder how it was even still standing in the first place. Its looking great!

So excited to watch this home get all shaped up!

Please make longer videos! I love watching this series.

Your videos are such teasers. 😁 again I'm so excited and can not wait to see the finish project.👍😊

you're doing fantastic work man, keep it up. great videos

excited about the new ebooks you're working on. I'll buy them for sure. It's a great topic and I trust you're perspective.

Love the great use of the skateboard! Necessity is the mother of invention.

I wish I could do this type of work...it is so satisfying to watch...

Looks to me that you are doing a really good job and I'm learning something. Keep it up.

Looking good😀 Had me worried for a second though I thought you found a major problem that was expensive to fix.

You do some very nice work sir. Clearly you take pride in your work.

Ha! Love the skateboard 2x8 prop for sawing. That was priceless! 😁

Really enjoying this series. Thanks!

Very satisfying doing that work yourself. Good job.

@4:18 you have some growth up under and by the foundation. Id spray or kill it if its a tree.. awesome saw horse : )

You are great. Once you're finished with this house it will last several lifetimes!

Absolutely love these videos, very educational as well as entertaining

Great use of a skateboard! Lol. Next time someone says you talk to much, just let us know and we’ll take care of it. Thanks for sharing!

Love the little rolling saw horse you have there lol.

Really enjoying this series. Are you planning to put visqueen on the ground in the crawl space as a moisture barrier? That would probably also keep the level of insects in the crawl space down.

good move on the beam. i was wondering why you didn't mention it as part of the action plan in your other videos.

Good job.

Good Job

Nice progress

Great job,😃👌👌

Where is your helper guy? I sure wish that house was in my area I'd buy it. I am in the process of looking to downsize and I want a tiny house!

Love it!

Awesome!

love the skateboard!

Poly between wherever the wood touches concrete/cinderblocks would do wonders.

Wow, I was wondering how you were going to get that under those joists! Looks great!

God time to dig some dirt out from under the beam for acces t the fron for service work and utilities. Coming together nicely.

Wow, look how study that floor is, no more bounce. Appreciate your work ethic of doing it right, even if costs more and no one sees it. Too often flippers put lipstick on a pig, carrying only about the money.

Great video series! What is your background as far is it pertains to this on the other remodel videos?

Wouldn't it be better to use some roofing paper under the 2x8s so the moisture can't get to them?

Where can I find your E-Book on renovating houses just like this one?

i love to see what your doing with the house, i've done a few similar projects to my place. Although the naming convention for the series keeps changing little by little and it freaks out my OCD...

If I were you, I'd vapor barrier the crawlspace ground with a thick mil black plastic laid over the dirt - obviously water is getting under the house from somewhere along the foundation

@homemadehome5575

7 жыл бұрын

The house has no gutters or drain tile. I'll probably do the vapor barierer but with so much work to do I'll do it once all is done, don't want to tear it up.

Waterproofing??????

Is there any concern over insects or animals nesting in the crawl space? Also are you in a climate where insulation will be necessary under the flooring to prevent them from getting cold when the temps drop?

"Nothing wrong with it, just a little soft in areas." Sounds like there is something seriously wrong with it, it's not pressure treated and it's decayed and softened. That bare dirt needs to be completely covered by heavy film sheet after spraying for insects, and then close off the venting around the foundation perimeter.

Fire in the hole, bam!!

What do you use to write your eBooks? I'm so very glad I found Scrivener. I don't buy software if I can help it, but when i do it must be good. I paid for both the Mac and Windows versions which includes a discount for Windows because i already had Mac version. I also bought another tool they have which is the Scapple program, which helps my organize my thoughts for use in my own books. I applaud you documenting this home renovation. Thank you.

The building code must be SO much different where you're at. I don't much about plumbing, but I know carpentry and electrical. Here in CT that beam, and every one of those floor joists would have to be PT unless you poured a slab. And, I've never even heard of cinder block footings, even decks around here need poured concrete in sona tubes at least 48" deep.

@homemadehome5575

This house is almost 100 years old and probably not built under any permit. PT lumber wasn't even in use at the time. The long and the short of it is your looking at what is basically a shack, but a shack that can turn into a nice house.

@homemade home Yeah, I owned a two-family that was built in 1890 for a while. But the code up here basically says that once you open it up, you have to bring it up to code. There were some things specifically grandfathered into the new code for older buildings, but not much. I'm just guessing that the code is much different where you are. I know it changes from state to state, Hell it even changes from town to town. Anyhow keep up the good work, and ignore all these haters.

Coming along fast! How did you get your first house?

ok..stupid question but i rather ask than not know...why does your nailer throw a spark on each hit? is this common with most nailers? i dont have one yet and always wanted one.

@CA-gy4qf

7 жыл бұрын

I would believe it is due to the type of nail gun. I would presume it is a powder fired gun rather than electric or gas. They use a small powder charge, which is similar to a firearm blank in concept. I may be completely wrong though.

@jorgejimenez1877

I have an air actuated gun and it throws a spark sometimes. It's just from where the pin hits the top of the nail. No different really than if you catch a nail just right with the edge of a hammer.

It is exciting, isn't it? Do you have the semi-auto trigger on the gun, or do you have to make sure the safety latch is pressed all the way before it fires? I've got the semi-auto trigger for mine, but haven't ever gotten around to switching it.

Not many, I'm nice but I don't encourage that kind of thing.

Don't you need to have a permit and inspections for doing such intense renovations to this house? I am just surprised none of this is mentioned. Perhaps you didn't think it was relevant and so didn't put it in the video? Also, I was really surprised about the crawl space construction. If you had wood rot from crumbling concrete blocks and non pressure treated wood making contact with the dirt, why would you not replace the beam with pressure treated wood? I am no expert, but it seems like the actual issue was never addressed but just patched up. The concrete blocks will just crumble again, right? It needs a better foundation for that beam, like some deeply poured concrete slabs or something.

There's a lot of different ways to go about responding to your comment....all would be long winded. In short, I'm doing a "good enough" job and I don't mean cutting corners but more that I'm not going to far for what it is. This house is almost 100 years old and built as is. What I do will make it go that much longer, most likely more. No one alive now will be around by the time this house needs to be worked on again and by the time it does it will probably have been torn down and a chain restaurant built where it stands. Thanks for watching.

I don’t see why his permit situation is relevant. Permitting requirements vary so much from state to state, and even county by county or city by city within a state, that unless all his viewers are living in the exact same town, doing the same renovations, he would be wasting our time talking about it, because his permit requirements will be different from ours.

How do you live in houses without a foundation? Is that too expensive?

There’s no concrete underneath the house. It’s called the foundation of the house. Essentially, the entire house stands on a couple of bricks. It’s a huge risk concerning moisture.

John Caselli it basically fulfills two major functions, one is that it evenly distributed the weight of the house to the ground. The other is that it cancels out any movements in the ground (which occur over time) and therefor makes for a sounder structure. It’s a major difference between European and American house building. The American way is essentially highly cost efficient, but in terms of quality, safety, and longevity, the European way is far more suitable.
