Thanks!!

Appreciate ya. Welcome to my channel :)

She still should not have done it, since it was not allowed in the lease.

I don't like carpet in rentals. After refinishing these floors, there are three coats of polyurethane. I'll take some effort to damage them.

ESA's must be accommodated, but I will require strict documentation

I have always had dogs and I know many many dog owners, never known anyone who lived like this. This is an unusual situation because they were mentally unwell. If it wasn’t animals it would have been pizza boxes or something else, human waste even. This landlord is fear mongering. I am a landlord and my tenants have pets and they pay a pet deposit, they are normal people so everything is fine.

I was in the house semi-regularly to check on things for them. There was always a dog smell, but most of the floor was covered by rugs. No significantly visible damage. Last time I was in the house was a couple months before they left, and that's when the damage was finally obvious.

They're part of my leases now

I feel bad for the dogs too.

Unfortunately, that has been my experience

@jessesmithchannel yep I worked around rentals a long time.

Welcome, and thank you! Upon reflection, yes. Former tenant was a friend who I was helping out. Her previous landlord sold the house she was living in.

Yeah. I no longer allow dogs. It's unfortunate, because there are food dog owners, but it's too hard to know who will be responsible.

I came to say the same. The contract my tenants sign says that any damages in the property will be payed by the tenant. It's still a risk, if the person has no money, they will never pay you back.

I burned out making the videos and wanted to finish the job. It's tough going thru the extra effort to record and edit everything when most videos were getting very few views.

@jessesmithchannel Fair enough, what is here is enjoyable! I love that it isn't just a tv personal hitting a nail on a board, but rather someone actually doing the work and doing it well!. I wish you much success in the future!

Drain from the shower, sink, and kitchen sink run into a gray water tank. I only use Dr. Bronner's soap, and I pump the gray water through sprinklers to water the grass.

The hydronic system has been fantastic, after addressing a couple of small leaks (incorrect sealant used on stainless steel connectors). We used it on a Thanksgiving road trip last week. 27 degrees outside overnight, 68 degrees inside the van! Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten around to finishing the shower pan to finalize the recirculating shower. I've had a ton of other projects take precedence. Hoping to get it ready for the spring.

You may be right. Strange that pieces intended for this use (downspout attachment) would be made from PVC, if UV degradation was a huge issue. Fortunately, most of it is underground. I also have PVC gutters and downspouts on other houses.

The furnace is an integrated part of the system. It all runs on a central controller, along with the fuel pump and coolant pump. The fuel pump pulls gas from the gas tank via an auxiliary port. Pumps gas into the furnace and ignites. The coolant pump pushes coolant through the hot furnace and through the loop system. Passing through the furnace heats the coolant to 194 degrees F. The hot coolant allows us to have hot water (plate chiller), hot air (air matrix) and heated floors.

@jessesmithchannel Thanks for replying! However, my main question was whether a furnace like propex one, which is "blown air furnace", could be used instead of hydronic heater.

I'm not entirely sure. I went down the rabbit hole of heating options, but the hydronic system best fit our needs. After that, I stopped looking for other options.

It's a pretty significant current draw, and the cycle runs for over an hour. It could certainly be run on a solar power system, but you would also need battery storage and a large inverter. I've seen these installed in camper vans.

This is why studor vents exist, otherwise any sink on a kitchen island or peninsula wouldn't be code compliant.

Exactly. Money is made when others are scared.

Price was pretty great. I'll do an update video on the financials soon.

How much would you pay for it?

@@jessesmithchannel depends on the local market where you're at...maybe find a comparable in the neighborhood and then negotiate for $20K below given these structural problems. You have great skills so you're the guy to fix this kind of problem. Most people wouldn't crawl under their homes. This messy home can look great once cleaned up, and you're they guy who can do this repair. Always enjoy your videos because I'm working on a fixer upper too in Niagara Falls (1930s house).

​@@BrentsTreehouseThanks! I picked this one up for approximately $180k under ARV for a 3b/2ba in the neighborhood. Solid margin!

It's a struggle!

@ I just finish ran oak table I am satisfied with my job , I am thinking of doing g a River table next .

Back yard

That would be a completely different process

Yes. I got the SDR pipe from Lowe's, when they put a big lot of it on clearance.

That's an option for some models

I was able to squeeze it through the entry panel to the crawlspace

Maybe so. But I attempted to pull a small section of the crown. It started to take the plaster wall with it. Would have been like opening pandora's box for a small improvement at the edge.

@@jessesmithchannel I hear you on that!!

Wouldn't be ideal, but this toilet could still handle it.

@ Just seems it would be kinda messy at times without water.

No, you can still do it. You just have to use a good quality stud detector and/or a hammer and nail to find the joists. I've actually used a strong neodinium magnet to locate the nails used to secure the lath to the joists or studs.

There are definitely other ways to find the joists

I believe the total run was about 12 feet. I used a flat shovel and an oscillating multi tool to remove the sod later. Took about 30min

I will add - We do love it otherwise - it works great!

I recently learned that some models have a chamber with pellets that filter the smells and fumes. My model doesn't, but worth looking into.

5/8 would make sense for a fresh install, where the plaster was removed. Adding 5/8 over the plaster would be extremely heavy for the ceiling, adding unnecessary strain on the joists, and requiring very long screws.

@@jessesmithchannel Right, I was saying 5/8s because you said 1/2”. Im restoring 107 year old house now. The rooms that had sheetrock lay over on the ceilings I tore it all down and went 5/8” rock. Even with the 3/8” of plaster, the lath and 1/4” rock (if you can find it) that’s a ton of weight.

I believe it was 80, 120, 220

Haha, yep. The plaster sandwich!

No issues last winter. There is a weep hole at the bottom of the pop up fitting to allow excess water to drain into the soil.

I haven't checked the power draw on a full cycle, but it's a significant draw when the burn element is on.

Not my brightest moment, but the fine film of dirt on the car prevented any paint from sticking. It was also cold AF outside the garage.

I haven't seen those.

​​@@jessesmithchannel yeah it's called "Cinderella incinerator toilet" you connected LPG GAS ( propane) and it works in the same way but I think the cycle is 40 minutes, its definitely handy then using power, only downside is you gotta replace gass, we have them on off-grid canal boats or some people do. I'm currently trying to acquire a boat shell and fit it out and put on of them toilets in. I'm not sure if it's just a UK model or world wide.

The pop up piece has a weep hole at the bottom, so residual water can drain out.

Happy it helped! Good luck on your project.

Thanks!

Sure thing. Please send me an email at jessesmithchannel@gmail.com with some details.

@@jessesmithchannel Thanks, we have sent an email just now.

💀💀

Gotta keep it simple 👌🏻

Good eye. That's the original crown moulding. I didn't want to pull it and risk cracking the plaster on the upper walls, leading to a much larger project. I butted the end up tightly, and caulked the seam, before painting.

This toilet can handle it.
