Living in a Remodel - Kitchen Wall Removal - Renovation Timelapse!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 фев 2020
- Today I knock down a wall! ...and update my kitchen with modern electric, Klearvue Cabinets, Midwest Contertops and Samsung Appliances! My house is 960 sqf, built in 1982 and is a 2 bedroom 1 bath with a two car detached garage. I may not make my money back on this upgrade, but I will live better for it! The difference is night and day! I no longer feel ashamed to invite people over and welcome entertaining guests! My hope is that this video inspires someone to put their butt to work and complete a house project!

Now, the question is "HOW DO I HIRE YOU TO DO MINE ?" That is simply amazing !
This dude is every woman's dream come true hahaha
it Seema that he just need it time and planned yo fix
allota dudes like him too..according to my neighbor
Love a handyman
im every woman😁
I came here because I love him.
You did an incredible job for completing that entire project alone!! 👏🏻 Looks beautiful!!
Love your new kitchen! Removing the wall and opening up the three spaces makes your home very inviting, warm, and welcoming. It creates a social, inclusive space. Kudos to you!
Inviting and welcoming are the same thing silly 😜
A man who can do what you did all by yourself is extremely attractive! You're very self sufficient! And your work is high quality! I'm very impressed!
Wow, big love back at ya! 😉👍
GIRL! I said the same thing in my head just now lol
Definitely!! I'll bet nearly every woman who watched fell in love with this guy 😍! What an improvement to the floor plan! Love that the laundry now opens from the hallway & you don't have to go through the kitchen. Just making that small change drastically improved the livability of this home - but combined w/the kitchen reno we're talking phenomenal improvement.
@@vibewithbria_5596 i can do that too
Also extremely attractive without the skills. Just saying ☺️
Mad skills sir! So much work, shown in so little time! It looks a lot better and the fact that you did this all by yourself, very inspiring! I guess it’s time for me to fix that running toilet now. 😀
Lol, thanks and good luck! 👍
Wow! Outstanding. What an improvement.
You knocked it out of the park Grand Slam! One of the best time lapse videos I've seen and one of THE best renovations I've seen! You made great use of the space and shutting off the door to the utility room, putting the fridge where you did, all of it just phenomenal! Great job!
You knocked it out the park. I can only imagine having a husband with your skills. We’d be renovating every few years. Love it ❤️
Really!?! That would be fun! I just got engaged earlier this month; if she doesn't find me handsome, at least she'll find me handy! ;) Thank you, BTW!
Even with half of this level of skill 🤣
Women need to learn these skills and stop hoping/waiting for a man to do it for them. I taught my husband almost all of his building skills. 😊
@@willdocter You are handsome too :)
@@martymaloney1032 Even still, it would really be nice to have a partner because it's hard by yourself. I'm short and not as strong as a guy. Some of it is just not safe for me to do by myself.
Wow! That’s all I can say! This turned out amazing! Congratulations.
Hey, thank you! ...and great name!!! :)
Man, I must say, I am lucky I found this video because it's exactly what I was looking for. This is the kind of video where I have to like, then save it somewhere to watch again, even 2 years from now. Great job.
Beautiful beautiful workmanship. It's just perfect.
Middle of the night in the middle of quarantine where I am also redoing a bit and this pushed me into continuing after you had a little talk at the end. Why not continue my work. So encouraging . Thank you
Awesome! You got this! :) :) :)
Very well done, I am doing my kitchen now, its a long haul... I am impressed with the great you’ve done... you knocked it out of the park! For sure.
Ooh cool!!! Yeah, it can be rough, but hang in there! ;) Whats your timeframe?!?!
A winner...and to do it yourself....GIFTED and BLESSED!!! 💜💜💜
Expertly filmed and very professionally done. We've been renovating our 65 yr old bungalow for 15 years, inside and out and room by room. We did have the kitchen and 2 bathrooms professionally done because it's so hard with all that's involved - plumbing, electrical, getting counters, cabinets and floors level, etc. You made this look so easy and it's not. No matter what it's a win-win as you will enjoy it and so will the future owner should you ever sell. 10/10!
I just wanted to let you know that your video is the inspiration for our kitchen remodel. I've been trying to figure out how to make our kitchen bigger. While we aren't doing exactly what you did, you inspired us to close off the wall to the laundry room so we can have a much better kitchen. Thank you so much.
Aww! No, thank you so much! …and best of luck! I hope it turns out amazing and you have a ton of fun doing it!!!
I love how this kitchen has came out it’s a big difference when removing a wall I love it!!
...totally agree! Thanks!
WOAH! You knocked this outta the park, up the street and around the corner. BRAVO🙌🙌🙌My kitchen is 1969 and now I know what to show my contractor.
The transformation is absolutely Amazing! Simple, classy, and beautiful!
"Nothing can make you happier than a place you are living" thank you for that great quote.
You are a professor. Keep up the great job.
Hey Thanks! I appreciate that! 👏
Aside from everything else done perfectly, I thought it was masterful that you relocated the utility / washer dryer door to the hallway.
....it’s so much better!!!! 😅😅 I hated having to walk through my kitchen with laundry! Good eye!
@@willdocter That wasn't smart by whoever designed the home to put the entrance to the laundry room *through* the kitchen when the hallway was just RIGHT THERE! Saved yourself a bunch of steps as well!!
Question, was that a load bearing wall? If so, did you need to do anything specific for structural purposes? I have the same layout and don’t want to knock down my wall and risk bringing down my ceiling 😬. Thanks
Wow. You have amazing skills. I hope you get many jobs to remodel other folks' homes. It's such a valuable skill set. I wish I could switch careers, growing up my father figure was a man who like you, did everything, from electric to painting, tiling, taking down walls and building houses. But I'll keep the renovating as a hobby. I'm tackling our kitchen now, its cabinets are 1995 I think, oak and pretty outdated. Already did the countertop/sink replacement. Such a big difference. No matter how much you spent, the value you get is how you feel when you are in your kitchen and you show it off to family/friends. That is priceless. Congratulations on such an amazing transformation. Very inspirational. Bravo!
Utterly amazed!! My 92 has the same wall! If it worthy of few more years I may hire somebody to re do like this! You got to be so proud! Thank u! 👍👍
OMG, he did it alone, amazing.
Man! That was Jaw Dropping! This 8 Minutes of my Life was reaLLy worth it! 👍🏻👏🏻
You are amazing!!! Watching this video actually boosted my motivations 200X to get ours 1960’s kitchen remodel. Putting in vinyl hardwood floor throughout the whole house this summer so going to convince hubby to just get the kitchen done & over with.
Good job! 👏👏👏
That’s it! Make a plan, have a schedule and a budget and get to work! ;) You can do it!
My husband and I have been debating on whether we are going to make on offer on this older very SMALL home because it needs a lot of work. This was my answer. You did this all by yourself and it looks like a $25k job. Absolutely beautiful. Awesome job
You knocked it out! I absolutely love the island across from the oven. Great for baking and cooking. I'm so impressed with how clean you were while working. Enjoy your new kitchen!
Nothing but love! Thank you so much!
The transformation is amazing. Great job. The kitchen in my home is almost the exact same layout. So this is some great inspiration if I ever have a chance to do a full remodel. ❤️
Awesome! Thank you! As long as your wall isn't loadbearing then I hope you all the best and that it turns out amazing!
You did an amazing renovation, plus the new look gave you access to some beautiful sunlight and a warm feeling of being in touch with the outdoors from your window.
It's been a great joy! Big thanks!
You knocked it out of the park and I don’t even know where the ball went. Great job!
All by yourself. I couldn't stop watching. Fantastic!
Lol 😆 Thanks, Big Love!
I wish you could come and do mine! You did a fantastic job! That was a lot of hard work, but you made it look Easy!
Next time! ;) Thank you!
He removed a load bearing wall. Don't let him within a mile of your home
R Leb how do you know it was a load bearing wall?
Will Docter u can make it a business.. admiring from Andhra.South India
R Leb You know there are other ways to support it right?
Oh it’s beautiful! You did a fabulous job. I need a new kitchen! You are my hero!
No, you did not went overboard. Just perfect!
You did a great job! We learn lots during each job we do! For this job, I would go to ceiling with uppers so there's adequate room for trim. I would eliminate need for table and carry the reno and new cabinets/counter all the way down the wall. The island would be seated on the flooring transition and go longer once table/chairs are eliminated. I would also demo old counter, but I can see this being done in phases, after such a lengthy process. Eg, you can add new counter later. I would replace boob light... It tells the age of the light and easy to fix.
Good job!
Would you do it again ? I am planning our second kitchen reno(prev reno sold). What an undertaking, but so worth it!
Yes Sir. Knocked it out of the park. In to a big open field. Looks beautiful. Have a nice day.
Woo! 😮🙌 thanks you too!
Beautiful job! My kitchen is 1962 and still has the linoleum gold speckled countertops. That’s why I watch these videos…a woman can dream! 👍
Thank you! Oooh, I've seen those! Someone in my family has a house with those from either the 70's or 80's and they can't wait to get rid of them either! GL ;)
You are a genius, you did everything all by yourself, you are truly master of all. i was blown away by what you did with your kitchen. Excellent.
Wow 🤩 Big Thanks 🙏🏻 😎👍
Mad skills, tidy as heck, handsome, likes to paint (!), and newly engaged......Congratulations you are the complete package!
...too kind, thank you! :) I do like to paint!
Most impressed that you did everything yourself. And your timing is impeccable: I'll bet you really enjoyed it once Covid lockdown kicked in.
I especially like it now that restaurants have been shutdown and the world is in chaos, I can just sit back and enjoy some good ole down home cooking! :)
Wish I was carpenter! I'd be making videos about building houses instead of updating a kitchen! lol :)
@@willdocter you can always learn stuff especially now with covid a lot of ppl have spare time..
All those guys knocking themselves out lifting weights when here is the main attraction--skills
You knocked it out of the stadium!! I love it
😎👍
Great job. We just purchased a 1100 sq ft cape cod w/the same wall. We will be doing the same. Thanx for the video!
I LOVE this kitchen, especially for a single guy. Nicely done, my dude.
I normally don't comment, however I'm making the exception today... blew me away and very inspiring! Thanks for this.
Wow, thank you! ...and thanks for commenting! :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. MY HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1965.. THEREFORE IT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!😊
I know what you mean. My house was built in 1957 and his old kitchen would be a big improvement over mine.

Also... loved watching the perpetual relocation of the fridge during the remodel... I have been thinking through that as well as part of our plan, about how to keep things functioning during the project. Seeing the fridge moving all over the space made me smile. :-) Also found it helpful to see that you installed the flooring in the open space instead of cabinets first and then doing flooring around them. Your way is probably easier and ultimately faster. Helpful to see that!
I agree...
Great job, I'm motivated to update my home also. Thank you for making it look possible.
Hey, glad it did and hope yours turns out awesome!!!! 😎 👏
Fantastic work! Love it. (Would suggest replacing the outdated ceiling light and the ceiling fan with more contemporary fixtures to complete the look.)
Marvelous job! Such a wonderful transformation
Hey I've been doing this for over 40 years. You are one talented dude !
This is excellent. Beautiful job. Loved how you were doing this while chugging down a Miller Lite in the process.
Hey good eye! 🍻 Thank you!
You did a great job..I'm motivated and inspired to redo my outdated kitchen..and you did it by urself..
Hey thank you! Grab a hammer and start! ;) ...maybe grab a buddy if you need help! :)
Beautiful I love it you inspired me to do my kitchen bought my home last year and my kitchen is old and can’t stop thinking of it being remodeled,Iafter watching your video I’m ready.Thanks for sharing 😊
Nice! I’m in the middle of a kitchen reno! Can’t wait to see the results!
Impressive! Good job.
You did such an amazing job. So clean.
Ahh, thank you!!!
The new kitchen looks great but the old kitchen also was lovely
The old kitchen was definitely efficient!
Wow! You've upgraded the kitchen to a whole new level. Looks amazing and light and airy.
Woot! 😎👍
You did an awesome job!
Thank you! Cheers!
I may be in the minority here but i prefer the separation of the kitchen and the family room, open concept is great for entertaining but everyday life it bothers the others watching tv or reading in the family room while some one is cooking prepping food. i will say this for a small remodel job the guy did a great job!
Hey thanks Guy!
Me too.
Your idea to remodel the kitchen the way you did is genius! I say it was worth it!
Yeah I loved the old kitchen. Love that it’s gone. 😁😁😁😁
Lol 😂
You deserve a big like 👍🏻 and a new subscriber, just out of respect for your hard work.
Hey, Great Big Ole’ Thanks, Right Back ya!!! 👍 Big respect to you too! I’ll try not to disappoint!
Awesome job, what an improvement. Your word "Nothing can make you happier then taking pride in the place you live", I'm going to write them down and stick them on my Fridge door. Might get me going on project I need to do
Wow! Just awesome and what a difference!! I love it! Great job!
It looks great !! You did an awesome job !! 😊. I have the same layout at my condo and that is definitely one change I need to make as the current layout of cabinets doesn’t make any sense, some cabinets can not be used . Thank you for the motivation. Your kitchen looks really great !!
Two thumbs up!!!!! Amazing, perfect reno!!!!
Hey, thanks a bunch!
Thank you for the inspiration !!! I need to gut my kitchen .
...hardest part is the first step! ;)
I've just bought my new first house and you gave me an idea for my new home thank you nice kitchen and keep up the good work 👍
Wow, wow, WOW!!!
I have an almost identical floorplan!
Thinking of having the same remodel in my home! Thank you for the video! Im going to show my contractor this!! 🤩💕
Sweet! Thanks! 👍 Best of luck!
Good job, doing a similar remodel. Knocking down a 3/4 height "L" wall and installing a 12" island with seating. Wish I was younger and had your skills...costing a lot for my dream.
Thank you! It's a chore but it''ll be worth it! Are you in the middle of it right now?! How long do you think it'll take to finish?
@@willdocter No, we have a meeting with the contractor tomorrow, I have a few changes, then we will have to go and pick out the tile and the Quartz counter top. We are essentially removing our dining room and making one large kitchen. In addition we are removing the carpeting in the living room and hallway, replacing it all with the same tile. The biggest part will of course be removing the wall and all of the cabinets, then replacing them, installing the new island, the electrical and flooring. We recently remodeled the bathrooms and had some delays due to the pandemic. If all goes well I am hoping for a start time mid to late October and completion of the project by mid-December at the latest.
Wow. Amazing. I have the same layout so I will do the exact same remodel.
Thanks
Thank you! Ooh, that’s awesome!!! Have fun with it! Post a link if you post a video! 👍
Oh, baby! You knocked it out of the park FR!!! Clever, talented and fun! Gorgeous kitchen re-do! Thanx for the vid!
ThatLooks terrific we’ve lived in our home for over 40 years would love to remove a wall like you did thank you you did an awesome job
Do it! ;) lol
I loved this video so much I can’t wait for your next project. Keep it going I support you. You really deserve it.
Thanks AJ! I just missed the opportunity to film the construction of my outdoor kitchen, but have some other ideas in the works!!!! I'll go into a little more detail in the future but keep it light and fun with plenty of feel good music!!! :)
Love your new kitchen!!!
👍👍👍 Thanks a ton! :)
You did a fantastic job! Knocked it out of the park for sure. I was looking for some ideas for my small kitchen and eyesore wall. I am going to take the wall down!!! Thanks for the encouragement and sharing your mad skills!!! Peace
Well done you did knock it out of the park -great work thanks for sharing
Good Job, this was motivation for me to get started my Home project this weekend!!!😘
Thanks, you got this! 💪 😎💪 lol
Small project or big project?!
WOW! Beautiful.And it didnt take you but right at 8 minutes. hehe. I love the style and the update. You did a great job!
Woot ☺️ thanks! Lol
What a man. Amazing work on this kitchen. Makes me want to remodel my old 80’s kitchen
Go for it!
My kitchen is set up similar to how yours was and this definitely has given me some ideas.
That's awesome! Best of luck! 😎👍
Beautiful work 👍👍
Thanks 🙏🏻👍
Wow did a great job!!! So nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful well done and I love the way this turn out. I am with you if you have a home project get it done. Be happy you only have one life to live. This is what makes life worth while and God little blessings goes along ways.
Fabulous job! It’s gorgeous!
Dude - - you wore me out with this one. That's a helluva lot of work for 8 minutes. Only thing I woulda done differently is a counter-depth fridge. That monster dwarfs the rest of the kitchen. Very entertaining. Gr8 job with the time lapse
Dude - - I agree with you 100%!!!! A counter-depth fridge would look best!!!! I almost pulled the trigger, and wish I would have!!! Nice catch! 👍 Thanks
I totally agree! I'm about to start a remodel on a small kitchen and I'm definitely going with a counter-depth fridge. The selection is much smaller and they tend to be a bit more expensive, but having an oversized fridge sticking out into a small space just ruins the seamless, built-in look everyone likes. Definitely worth the extra money.
Wow! I’ve been wanting to do that to my kitchen but my husband keeps telling me it’s going to be a lot of work bc all the wires to the stove are there. But I love the way it looks! I’m a person that likes to diy and if I get stuck on something I turn to RUclips or Pinterest. I think I’m going to start the project. Lol. By the way I’m a new follower on your list!😉
Hey, that’s exciting! I hope you can find a way to make it work!
I was able to pull a new stove wire through the crawl space to the new location and I pulled all the electrical up out of that wall into the attic and added junction boxes to allow for splicing longer runs to the new locations.
You did an amazing job. Love that Island. Love all your appliances. You have great taste.
the new door to the laundry is great and the finished job must make you feel really proud of yourself
Out of the park! You are right, why wait till you want to sell a house to renovate? Enjoy!
Right!?!?! LOL The value added is nice but living with it day to day is where its at!!!!
@@willdocterNow, the living room makeover. Idea: Continue the kitchen counter top material into the living area with a sleek set of floating shelves and a Modern Flames mounted fireplace in a media room vibe (scaled down sleek seating)
Parmela Powell That would be amazing! It’s funny you said that, cause last night I was shopping for a new bathroom and am trying to decide if I want to match the countertop material in there or not.
Great job. It looks fantastic. I wish I had a husband who is such a handy man like you. :-)
Absolutely beautiful!!!! It must be so nice to have these type skills.
Oh my ! I guess it’s a year ago you remolded your kitchen by the time I seen it . I was trying to decide what I could do myself. So I looked on RUclips to make sure I was redoing my cabinets right and this popped up it the same layout couldn’t believe it . Well that’s all it took . That’s what I’m going to do I love it . Thank you thank you
Your new kitchen looks awesome!!!!! You did an outstanding job on it! Every woman that sees it and has a spouse that can’t or won’t do remodeling projects just fell in love! 🤗 I’d like to make a suggestion about your gallery wall, if you bought matching frames for all of your photos
the gallery will look more cohesive, and you can google ways to arrange them to make more of a statement, and lastly, they are a bit high too, you can also do a google search on how high to start hanging. But seriously, kitchen is da bomb!
What a fantastic compliment! Thank you! :) Thats a great idea! I’ll definitely do that! Especially now that I’m married and have new family pictures to showcase! :) Thank you!
Most men would not be able to competently do this!
That said, I am worried that was a load bearing wall that was taken out 😬
@@willdocter Its cute how you tell all the ladies you are married and so nicely. My husband is handy as well. And we do a lot of projects together. We are planning the kitchen now. Soon as we nail down the final things. So maybe this winter.
Well Done, Looks Stunning 1 love From UK England Hunn x
Woot 🙌 right back at ya!
Beautiful, just beautiful!!
Remodel is exactly what I want for our Cabin. You are Superman ! I loved this video showing the dog always by your side ❤️
Thank you so much! :) Rusty, my dog, unfortunately died during this project and that was why he was only in the first half of the time lapse. But thank you again! ;) He was a true friend!
@@willdocter I’m so sorry!!!! It’s not fair they don’t get to live with us longer🥺. We have 4 rescues who are everything to us. Sending my condolences!
