Week 10: Renovating our original 1970s Kitchen! | KNOCKING DOWN WALL doubling size of kitchen!
Ойын-сауық
We brought in a structural engineer to come inspect this wall to determine if it was structural. This wall turns out to be a partition wall (curtain wall, non load bearing) so we are able to knock it down without having to add a beam of support on top. Knocking down this wall is going to allow us to add a kitchen island and expand the size of our kitchen! We have so much work ahead of us: finish installing drywall, install cabinets, flooring, backsplash, appliances, and more so stay tuned!

I will say knocking this wall down was a lot more work than I thought 😅 we are getting rid of the wood floors to blend floors of both rooms and the floor we laid down in the room next to this one
Wheee! Love to see this progress. Hey, in the next one maybe you could walk us through the layout?

I am so excited! I’ll walk through the layout as best as I can in the next one 😊
I love your channel because it’s real and you leave everything in. My son in law and I have discovered so many strange things in redoing my home (my husband helps when he’s in town 🙂) and some of it is downright scary…it is most definitely a learning experience! Y’all are doing great. I’m excited for y’all!😊

😂 Our house was built in 1850 so pre-electricity Era... It has 2 rounds of electrical work in it. (Knob and tube and Romex) I remember the first time I vacuumed after moving in and the TV was on and a few lights... it tripped the breaker and guess what I found out?!? Almost the entire downstairs is on a single circuit INCLUDING the basement... which is where the panel is! Ay yi yi!!!! 😵💫

@@theyorks Isn't electrical fun?! 😅 (and old homes)
Love watching your videos and how real they are. We are also renovating our house, although we are in the UK, so a lot of things are different. You've mentioned in one of your videos that English is only your second language, what's your first language? Just curious :) Would love to see a Q&A with you guys to hear your story. Love your names BTW :)

Thank you!! That makes me happy to hear 😊 I try to keep in as much as I can even if it makes it looks silly. We aren’t perfect! ❤ I’m from Puerto Rico so Spanish is my first language 😊 a q&a wouldn’t be a problem to do. I should put a poll up 🫡

@@theyorks it doesn't make it silly, it makes it fun 😁 Considering you only started doing DIY on this house, you guys are doing so well! I know it's not a trend anymore, but I would be so interested to hear your story in a video similar to the draw my life, even if it's just a story time and not actual drawing. To my ears, your English is pretty much perfect :D
