Solo restoring an 1804 Naval Mansion – Greg's Epic DIY Journey | Man with a Hammer's Admiral’s House

If you're a fan of home renovations, historic properties, or jaw-dropping transformations, you’ve likely heard of Greg-better known on social media as “Man with a Hammer.” In this episode, we dive into his epic journey of restoring the Admiral’s House, a massive 8000-square-foot ex-Naval officer’s quarters in Plymouth, into a stunning forever home.
Built in 1804, this grand Georgian property boasts 30+ rooms, 5 floors, and 60+ windows-but it needed serious TLC.
