- I finally found the perfect place to build the ultimate car guy compound. Tons of car parts, tools, and a motorcycle were left behind. So today we're going to sort through everything, throw a ton of stuff away, and start cleaning things up. A new house, a new shop, and a place to build cars better than ever before... but the house has some strange secrets of it's own.

With a shower, it is great to have grab bars. We all get old, right? Now is the time to put some 2x6 pieces flat between the studs so you have actual wood to screw into. I like to stack two 2x6 pieces. There is code in most places for placement of grab bars. When my lower back is out I really appreciate a grab bar at the toilet. When wiring became a thing, every room had one bulb in the middle of the ceiling. Kids grew up hating that and went to lamps. And then the next stage, and then the next stage.
I enjoy the variety of content on this channel. Something for everyone and i find myself always watching even a video on a subject i didnt know i was interested in. Thanks JR
I was laughing when you were flipping switches because my brain went to some neighbour somewhere yelling ‘who keeps flipping the lights off and on!’
Dude, I'm telling you, wear a real respirator mask. Your lungs will thank you later.
And Safety glasses? Insanity.
You would be surprised how many living rooms have no lights. It was common to have lamps in living rooms in the 60s and 70s.
It’s hilarious seeing all that 70’s 80’s style brings me back
80% of us still live in 80's style LOL.. My house has been maintained. Never remodeled. 🤣
I always get excited to see what you have done with this house. I get tired out just watching all the work you. Your energy level is impressive :-) BTW-The furniture, etc, when you move in will get rid of the echos.
You have great plans for the house. Half the battle is knowing what you want. The other half is paying for it. You do have a nice echo. How’s the 3rd door project coming?
Should be up Wednesday! 🍻
Man, I love your house building vids! Keep on with the good work and all the best from Switzerland 🇨🇭 ✌️
I not know Spanish were in Switzerland. Odd.
Schluter Kerdi shower system is awesome I’ve used them for years and definitely 💯 heat the shower floor !you won’t regret it 👍🏻
I don't mind hanging sheetrock but I don't like the mud and taping part. I leave that to the pro's!
Sheet rock is good, whatever else is bad... Watching now 👋
Sheetrock is always good 💯
If you decide to tile any floor in any room, I would suggest installing electric underfloor heating prior to tiling. Your feet will thank you on those cold winter days.
So many houses of that era had switched outlets to turn on table lamps. I don't mind having that but I always like overhead lights as well for when you need real lighting in a room.
I was just thinking about this. The house I grew up in had no overhead lights in the living room. Just a switch for a lamp.
You should do one room modernized but looks 80’s
I'm with you on that idea. Make it a guest bedroom with its own bathroom so if someone stays there they wake up thinking where am I and what year is it.
Hey JR try using a rotary hammer drill with a wide chisel bit, it makes short work of tack strips, and tile. I removed 2000 sq ft of it in my place, wasnt fun but made quick progress.
As for replacing 2x4's bc of the glue, you can leave the old ones in place and sister new ones to them or stagger a 24" on center layout if the glue is on both sides. Straight lumber is hard to find these days, I wouldn't tear it out
4:33 Maybe there is a light hidden in the ceiling tiles somewhere? I had a few of those in my house.
Love your construction build vids
My parent's home, built in 1937 in Austin, Texas had overhead fixtures in every room, hallway, porch. Not enough outlets throughout the home like we have today though. JR, I enjoy all your videos, but these building/remodel are fantastic - I like that you find ways to modernize and reuse technology like your rack mounted whole home sound system. Keep at it cause you are going to have a valuable property once completed.
The carpet strips are easier to take out with roofing shovel. I had to do a whole house and saved my back with it.
I saw that haircut. lol
My favorite bday present is was a Niagara conservation toilet I installed 4 yrs ago
Good progress
Judging by the insulation of some of the wiring (the more round black insulation) you may have some aluminum wiring - that in and of itself it's a major concern although if you're already "in there" it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to replace it with some 12-2. It was also very common to run 14-2 in bed rooms and other areas of the home that weren't kitchens or where appliances were going to be - the thought was only lighting and perhaps a radio would be used - I'm sure your PC would pull a lot more juice - might be time for an upgrade....
Go JR Go👍🏼✌🏻
Old toilets are the best - plumber told me that - gives enough water to flush
Congrats on the progress. Good luck selling the old house and getting yourself moved in.
Our living room doesn't have overhead / ceiling lights either - EVERY OTHER room in the entire house does. Just outlets for floor lamps... I believe a lot of the switches you can't figure out what they switch are for floor lamps (switched outlets) - check to see if the top or bottom of a duplex outlet works all the time and the other only when a nearby switch is flipped. My house was build in the late 80's (1989) but with features that were common in the 50's - 70's I have switched outlets in almost every room of the house (except for the bathrooms, kitchen and basement bed rooms.
The downstairs mirror installer was drawing faces with the adhesive!
You are doing a fantastic job. 👏
Hope those garage doors go up smoothly, you need a win after dealing with that wiring. The bathroom in tge tiny house turned out great, I can only imagine what you will go with this one
Even a porter pottty looks spacious. Can't wait for the remodel
Yeah that bathroom is unuseable 💯
Watch JR king 👑
6:59 take the wall completely out/resize the space and put a really nice free standing cabinet that fits the new space right there in the odd sized cubby hole space.then frame it in with trim so if it breaks it can be easily removed and replaced...sort of like doing a dishwasher under a counter...
I think that house was just stuck in the 70s from everything I've seen so far I think you and E Rock I'm doing a great job updating it can't wait to see when you guys are done hope you have before and after. 👍
The way living rooms were lighted in the 60, 70 and 80s was with lamps. Either floor standing or table lamps. That way the lighting could be moved with the furniture. Often either the top or bottom half of the receptacles were connected to a switch that could be turned on from any of the entrances to the room. The lamps were usually equipped with 3-way bulbs for either mood lighting or task lighting so each person could adjust the lighting to suit their needs without having to get out of their chair. The switched circuit allowed the last person leaving the room to turn all of the lights off at once.
My grandparents have those mirrors in their house. That's so weird seeing that. Ive never seen it anywhere else. That design is possibly from the 50s or 60s. Its older than me and I was born in '77😂😂😂
🇺🇸👍 Better have a super sucking fan because humidity is your biggest enemy. If you leave no door on that cabinet things get musty, especially if it’s supposed to be clean fresh towels plus it gives a cleaner appearance.
May I suggest floor heating for the main bathroom.
This house is terrifying
Those mirrors in that little bathroom place that as early 1970s…. That was common as dirt back then. Surprised that you didn’t still have colored fixtures in there. 😀
Yes, I was around back then so I witnessed it first hand. 😎
lol, plant mom @2.36
echo basement? popcorn ceiling, acoustic tile, curtains everywhere or carpet.... I used commercial carpet tile
Lots of money lots of work
The Chevy Volt cliffhanger continues ....
Haha, tonight!
The 70s were wild for not having lights. My condo has no lights in the bedrooms or living room. The dining room has light and is open to the living room just still the bedrooms are so annoying
Good Evening John Ross
Hey Douglas! 🍻
I wouldn't do polished concrete because it's too cold. Do in stead carpet or hard wood and tile in the bathrooms with radiant heat under the tile
70-90s building must of been so much fun, you could just build what you want how you want without the town getting in the way
You and Eric will still save a lot of money on those bathrooms. My sister paid $30K to have one redone and it wasn't anything special. I told her I would do it for her for less than half of that but she didn't want me to. Her loss.
hey
In my parents old house, they had that same mirror on the posts in the finished basment. The 70s designs were pretty terrible
@13:06 Exactly, how can you live without lights?!
Hey
🥉 yo PSU!
Consider using Glass Block.
Yo
🥇 boom!
Wood floors
Pimping ain't easy.
But it sure is fun.
I know at least one barber from Brooklyn that might disagree with you on that.
Early morning, watching/typing from my comfy chair, next to a floor lamp....In a room with no overhead lighting!!! Some one....Doesn't think she would like overhead lighting in the living room.....GRRRRRRRR!
Podcast room in basement?
These people had zero vampire problems...
Seems to be hit or miss no the lights in the living room. The house I live in now has two living rooms. One has lights, the other does not. My previous house did, previous two houses to that did not.
"Hardwood floors, how early 21st century."
That basement bathroom mirror glue looks like it might have been asbestos. We did abatement when I was demoing. House is old enough. Just be careful around that stuff and don't mention it to the dumpster guy lol
Wow, I didn’t know that asbestos was used in glue. That stuff is definitely nasty.
It was mixed into almost everything. Since it was a miracle. Can be found in different caulk and sealant, pipe insulation, noise dampening sheets as well as in paint.
Whoever is watching this video, I hope this day will be a great day.
👊
2:28 all the mirrors ...thats so you never feel alone or you can self check yourself for cancer
I enjoy house/garage videos better than the car videos
You do know about the lights, it was wired for lamps like every other house during that time.
And it’s not okay, makes the house crappy. 💯
It's nuts to think that house was the style when I was a kid. YUCK!
OK back in the day they break tabs on the outlet and one would be live all the time and 1 would not and be attached to a switch which they use to plug in lamps. Before we started putting the c*** in the ceiling.
That's what the switch does.
Are you still living over at your old house while you get your new place sorted?
I am, but not for long I hope 🍻
In the bathroom, use a bifold closet door..
That 2nd bathroom....just put in a urinal.
What happened to the dog?
i know its a little late to ask but did you ever just consider a new build. it would probably have been easier and cheaper
It’d cost $750k to rebuild this house
@@WatchJRGo yeah sure
Yeah, one functional bathroom because your shop has none!
I mean most shops don't, and it triples the property tax if they find out 💯
carpet is cheaper..and better at sou d damping
Tell your dad hi.
Someone most definitely peed out their a$$ in that toilet. Lots of poo splatter.
So this is why the probably did not finish the bathrooms the way you like because the cost is more than they could afford...... Sometimes we have to make do with what we have...... Or a capabilities..... Not saying it's right.
really do try to not say negative stuff. I do. But, frankly, this place is a disasster.. I temer it with knowing you WANT to change everything, but, on the other side, you HAVE to change everything. Whoever inspected this place did you no favors. Whatever city this is in, ask them what the hell they have been looking at...
Say, JR, why don't you just tear down the whole house and build a new one?
why would you throw all that money away having to pay to tear down and haul off. All just to spend months and months getting back to the point where he’s at. It’s called a remodel they do exist
Remodel is like, 1/5th to 1/3 the cost of a demo and new construction. Not counting a lot of other potential costs.
I was talking to with JR about this and he worked it out it would cost $700,000
Because this is a rebuild channel, not a build from new channel. And after all the money he has put into it so far, its too late to waste that money
RUclips follows the old newspaper motto of "if it bleeds it leads". People don't want to see a guy knock down a mess of a house and put up a slick modern design with minimal effort. They want to watch someone demo a wall with a sledgehammer.
finish one part of the house before u do other parts.
also think about your bank account...befire u go hog wild on the house
It’s called lamps. That’s how they did it. Either you just fortunate enough or not old enough to realize some living rooms as well as bedrooms did not come with overhead lights they used lamps.
Lamps are for junk apartments, not real houses 💯
I don’t care how big your bathroom is….if you want to redo it it’s going to be 10k. If you are going to pay a licensed contractor to do it then there you are..
More work, less talking.
I'm thinking it would've been quicker and simpler to just build a house from scratch
Building new might be quicker but he's going to pay 2x more than what it would cost to remodel the house himself.
This is what real renovations are like. Not like the finger snap and everything is done.
Hey
