Growing up in a similar sized home in Nebraska, my mom had the old washer and dryer in the basement for dirty farm clothes and the newer set upstairs for the 'cleaner' clothes. My dad and brothers changed clothes down there every night and took care of the basement loads by themselves.

personally in my arm chair engineer opinion I would replace the main beam with a steel beam,

That old so called "beam" is TINY. His floor joists are TINY, talk about a jello squeeeeeaaak fest home. Oh yea, and pay them by the job, they will work faster and smarter... carrying blocks up the stairs... how dumb do you have to be when you have a window right there you can remove and therefore only have to toss the blocks through the hole and not CARRY your entire body up/down the stairs creating at least 2X the work.

No. In theory, yes(short term). Been on thousands of glued down floors. They squeek still, BUT, flooring that is RIGID compared to their peers and have lower spans and less deflection squeek less. Same goes for manufactured joists compared to solid say ~2x12. A manufactured 2x12 will remain dimensionally stable in comparison. For instance living in a house with 2x14 joists and 1&1/8 plywood... glued down. It squeeks like mad. Why? Difference in heights compared to true flat and expansion due to seasons. Meanwhile a 2x10 glued floor with MUCH shorter span, but made from steel beams and 1 &1/8 ply has ZERO squeeks even though it deflects more and is less rigid. In other words it is more than a single failure type. --> same reason you NEVER put ANYthing wood on the outside of your house if you want your paint job to last. Concrete/aluminum are VASTLY longer lasting! WHy? Less expansion contraction and thus paint adhesion is much superior. Ask ANYONE in Colorado up high where the UV is more intense. It is beyond obvious. Any wood painted product looks like crap after 5 years while concrete siding still looks great after 15 years using IDENTICAL paint. CHeers! @@ordelian7795

My simple advice is that in your bathrooms you should either cover the walls where you will put towel bars/rings with plywood and then drywall over it or put in blocking between the studs so that when you hang towel bars that you can always find wood to screw into instead of using anchors. Anchors eventually pull out especially when kids grab the towels.

While you are already tearing everything out and going to be digging away on the exterior for drainage, go ahead and add a couple Egress windows! That way you can use that amazing basement for future safe livinging spaces and bedrooms! Looks great and so fascinating to watch the process!

My 2 cents - regarding plumbing for the laundry room. You are going to need two washers and two dryers for the family and one washer one dryer for farm clothes that have farm chemicals and oil/grease. An outdoor shower would be great for all the boys after hot summer days. Keeps a lot of dirt from coming into the house.

Ай бұрын

the open floor plan also promotes good air circulation. Less likely to get musty.

Consider adding Support pillars and Support jacks on top instead of a block wall. Then you can build wood walls to separate the basement as desired where support is not needed. there’s a lot of unused space down there and can be turned into livable bedrooms and bathrooms down the road. When you re-cement the basement floor, they have pump trucks to reach the farther away areas with long concrete hoses. Depending on your code, you may need to add gravel base. since you’re already ripping up the floor, it’s a good idea to add plumbing for a bathroom

Unfortunately you can’t make the basement livable space with bedrooms or family rooms in a house that old. There’s no vapor barrier behind the foundation. That wasn’t even really a thing until the late 80’s-90’s for livable basements.

Roman we used cinder blocks and rebar for our coop. It doubled as a tornado shelter if needed. Also easy to clean.

I believe the support beams would be better. Make your basement look larger and you can use that basement for many things as the children grow up. Love the fact that you’re still smiling and I bet you’re spending a lot of money well until next time God be with you always and your family blessings have a happy Easter. All three of you.

A ton of people have already said this but I would try to keep the basement more open concept, and in the future, if you want to wall off certain sections you can. Obviously, if the one beam needs support you could add just a few pillars or add a medal I beam to support the house. I love watching your videos and seeing what you are doing. Makes me wish I was a farmer.

Maybe you can use the broken cinder blocks to start to fill in the well you don't want anymore.

Thanks Roman and Justin for keeping Cole safe. If he did this himself he would have killed himself months ago. You guys are extremely important for this project and keeping Cole safe. Thanks Again.

Am I the only one looking forward to Roman’s chicken house build video series!!!!!!

I would think a steel beam would be more economical and exponentially stronger than that little beam thats in place now.

MUCH LOVE TO JUSTIN!!!

I think you have discovered the difference between what we call a cinder block and a concrete block. Keep up the good work, 👍

I love a demolition day, but also love a rebuild day, really enjoying every video, the basement looks so open with the walls down, no more interrogation room, much better

Honestly, you don't need to rebuild the walls. Just keep everything open, and just put supports on the beams.... 😃

Can I just say, I have watched your channel periodically before and liked it but if being honest forgot I was subscribed,but now it’s the first channel I look for on updates,have to say Cole ,Roman is is great,love his pieces to camera and his banter with Justin and he always is concerned about getting things done right as well as Justin. Great team when you have to do farm work,you know they both have your back,best of luck in the renovation.loving the videos

You discovered the difference between a cement block and a cinder block (or hadite). From what I know, foundations should be cement blocks and chimneys should be hadite.

You guys are INSANE workers. This has given me a whole new outlook on a few projects I have that seemed overwhelming. After watching you all, I am a little embarrassed because they are nothing like what you are tackling.

Hey Cole I know this is alittle late but find an old corn crib elevator that doesn't have an wheels under it and slide it in a window. Bust up the blocks and concrete and use the elevator to lift it out of the basement right into the truck save alot of manual labor an back pain. Hope this helps keep up the cool project alot of us are enjoying the process.

That poor old truck .that truck deserves tender loving care .

Concrete floors can heave or sag too. You need to put in load bearing footings for support posts.

My advice for your showers is placing the shower head on a wall that direct the water toward the wall opposite. Make the entrance to this walk in shower on the same wall as the shower head. No more plastic curtains or shower doors, glass or plastic to deal with. I did this for both my showers 30 years ago and am still in love with my showers.

Don't forget about to put in the floor drains in basement.

You might want to fill up the old well with some of the rubble /dirt before you haul it all away? As others have stated get one or two steel beams and standard jack post supports. Cut your floor concrete in 24"x24" squares where each jack post needs to go, pour 8-10" deep concrete for footers, they should be 3-4" below final floor level. Since you have trucks and flat bed trailers getting a beam shouldn't be to bad, chain it to a tellehandler fork and slide it in through an end wall. Finally don't forget you need blocking between all those joist every 8' as well as any walls over 8' tall.

Find a way to keep an open concept in the basement

1:00 I would replace the wall with an iron beam. That will give you far more options in the future on floor layout.
