Please do not take advice from the negative people. I enjoy the talking.
People that say to have a professional do the work, never checked the work the professional does. 2 years ago, I paid a shop a ton of money to replace the control arms and tie-rods on my car. I'm already replacing a control arm now. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
Yes don't listen to the negative people I enjoy the talking and I can't wait to see it almost done
I don’t mind the talking. I think that the talking is Very informative. The fact that we are still on gutters is more of an issue.
agreed. you rock
negative people don't! keep smiling. You got this Jason!
If i ever start a car channel......... I got stories. I got years of stories of crappy car work and jobs done by mechanics. its really heart breaking
I'm not sure how I would understand everything you are doing without you explaining it, so please keep talking. 😊
Granny here. Another informational video. Please don't let others tell you to hire a professional. You are a "Professional" ~ Doing for yourself is honest work and you will do thing's right. Do not worry about your hair. You got nice hair. Messy means you are working you buns off 😊 Granny is proud of you~Take your time and go slow and get some rest~ {{{Hugs}}}♡♡♡
Thank you Granny!
I think us asians have the worst bed head in the world, lol.
aww so sweet. And I agree!
If you don’t have security cameras you really should get some. Especially when you start bringing tools and equipment.
I have some up but would like to make a Friday video of outfiting the whole place.
@@watchere Security cameras, if good quality are now free content for this channel. B roll at worst... maybe some good caught shots.
Looks like those gutters got the "landlord special"
Looks like the roof repair people forgot some of the materials in the truck or they'd run out of what they brought up and they were too lazy to climb down to get more.
i'm going to add to that, "government landlord special"
Talking in your videos explaining what is going on and what you are about to do is not boring...well, at least to me. If others find it boring, they do not need to watch. I enjoy your videos, do not change your style.
Thank you!
One good thing about owning an old school is that you have plenty of storage areas to store your building supplies and maintenance equipment and supplies for future maintenance .
I like how you are talking through your thought process. Please keep talking and ignore the negative people.
Your loose/separating window dormer caps look to have been caused by the freeze- thaw cycles. You Sir have a tremendous task in front of you, how does one eat an elephant? One bite at a time. 😄 You said it yourself, what a poor design, it was build to fail. Temporary patches are the only way to go for the time being, however a complete modification to the exterior façade is in order, take a step back and think of a long term redesign to mitigate the water intrusion issues. There is no since in remodeling anything on the inside until you remedy the water intrusion issue. You also need help with what you have in front of you, your project requires a village! Call your friends, family, call in favors. Love the project, maybe I'll swing by over the weekend and lend a hand.
Thanks for the support! Definitely a huge task ahead of me, but one piece and one section at a time!
Your not boring! Keep talking please 🙏. Love to hear what’s actually happening. 😊😊😊
We've been homeowners over 30 years. I can say with confidence that most of the time when you get into a project, you'll find more to do than you expected. I automatically double my husband's time estimate on a project and sometimes that isn't even enough. Won't even get started on unexpected cost overruns lol!
My parents had a house custom built for them in 1959.
When I was buying my own home my Dad told me that the day we moved in he got out a 3x5 card and wrote down three things he wanted to tweek.
When they sold the house in 1980 Dad said he never got to the bottom of that list.
Sounds fairly accurate haha
I give you so much credit, man. Most people interested in a property like yours would just demo & redevelop. There’s so much unseen value & history in old buildings. I’m sure many people in that area have fond memories of that property. You are serving them well and hopefully they appreciate it! Bravo!
In a way this channel reminds me of Escape to Rural France. Just a determined man who has a knack for building, taking on a massive project one step at a time.
I love seeing you tackle poorly done projects and redoing them the right way 🙌
The show must go on - Yason new life motto
Not false hahaha
@@watchere What if you built up the gutters so high everywhere that you used those recurring pillars as the new downspouts? Some bricks could fill in that trench pretty quickly. Then, whatever other build-up and sealing product to direct the water toward those pillars. Donno what you do with all that water running off, Maybe some kind of copper flashing? You have to figure out something meaningful. #EveryWeekIsTooMuch
Pay no mind to the negative people! Some of us enjoy listening to you! I can't wait to see what you do!
Paused to comment: Your talking isnt boring! I'd deliberately try making my hair as messy as possible to troll people haha
haha thank you! I mentioned because someone else commented a while ago that my hair was messy haha
Could you put metal mesh above the gutters, to keep debris from clogging the flow. And protecting your work. Kind of like a gutter guard.
You talking is not boring. How are we gonna know what you’re doing if you don’t tell us and cheering with you when you have a victory over the gutters and will continue to cheer with you. thoroughly enjoying your content
Damn sorry that a vandal broke a window. I hope it isn't going to be a recurring problem for you, that stuff really riles me up.
Invest in scaffolding. You will need it forever. AND for Pete’s Sake wear gloves!!!. Not latex. Cleaning gutters, better gloves. You have a long journey. Don’t give up. We will watch you if you take us along.👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just bought some scaffolding! I left my gloves inside and I thought Im here i should just do it before i walk in and my scatter brain forgets
I really have to repeat to myself that it's not MY project, to lower my anxiety level! Take care of your health and sleep, you got to be good for the long haul!
Don't jump!!! LOL The internet gods recommended your video's because a few weeks ago I was googling "old schools" "old churches" "old armory" for sale. I got tired of just doing residential. I saw your old listing, location is mum. It's a heck of project young Sir! Love seeing your progress and your puppers! Cheers!
Yay, talking Jason is back. Wow, have you got a big job on your hands and that is just the roof! But once that is done, at least you can be certain that any work done on the inside will be safe and dry. I love the fact that you are explaining things and the pitfalls of relying on 'professionals' who do shoddy work. You know what you are doing and have the knowledge and expertise to do a great job. Don't let anyone get you down. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next video. 😊😊
Thank you so much!!
Having the confidence to do the work yourself or finding instructions that will teach you to do the work yourself not only saves money, but also fills you with the greatest sense of accomplishment! It also will inspire others who watch your videos to try doing some of their own DIY. I'm still absolutely loving your "boring" videos and am actually learning some things. Go you!! And those are some adorable dogs 😍
Thank you!
I always heard slate shingles lasted a lot longer, but apparently have their own set of problems 😬
Internet says a lifespan of 50 to 200 years, depending.
Hi, get video. You know ive said before that I bought a house 5 years ago that had definitely been neglected. One thing I found very helpful to me was every project on my list that I had to tackle I gave myself a todo list, and than a how to handle it when it doesnt go that way list😊 stay healthy, happy and safe always.
I definitely need to do list!
Bro please get some gloves. That gunk on the roof gotta feel nasty
Listen to Granny, everything she said is 100 % true….I am a Grammy, so I know as well and agree with her. 💖💪👍🏻
"This is why I have trust issues". I am right there with you man. If I had infinite time I would do everything myself. If I had infinite money I would have the luxury of time to doing everything myself.
Its always one or the other! Time or Money!
One of the reasons I like your channel is because you're easy to listen to ❤
I like hearing about what you're doing and discovering. Please give NO weight to mean ignorant people. This is, your channel 😎
Thank you!
@@watchere 😊 fa shizzle
Would a roofing company sponsor you in updating your roof and gutters?? For the public marketing they would get, if you could show a before and after; or even during??🎉🎉
The big metal box in the small storage space in the car park could have been used to power the lights in the car park on a separate electrical box from the main building for safety reasons .
Makes sense. They used metal because that was the material they had available, although they still are and I suspect it is required by code. I can't imagine that embedding metal electrical boxes such as that is code compliant.
@@KameraShy this could be changed to a legally binding standard electrical case and all electrical wires could be wired in by a qualified electrician .
Your explanations are not boring. Now if you are doing loads of painting then I get that we will not need commentary. But geez we like hearing your plight and your ideas to fix it. This is such a great project. "Don't go changing to try to please Us."
What a cool old building. Keep at it man, you'll get it.
Yanson I'm hoping for the best with this project! 😊. Everyone watching please leave a comment, hit the like icon and share the channel on all of our social media platforms. I for sure want to see this end up having been a success story.
Thank you!
I’m totally addicted to this project, keep talking btw!
Thank you!
I’ve stopped watching the other YT renovation videos and just focused on your project. Really do appreciate your explanations and thought process. 😊
Awesome, thank you so much!
You shouldn't look at it like a comparison of easy vs hard. You need to resolve that you are getting it done RIGHT vs wrong. The easy path is never something to strive for. Greater risk = Greater Reward. You are rebuilding this house. It's worth saving and anything worth doing is worth doing right. Thanks for sharing your journey and I LOVE your narration!
"There comes a time in one's life to say "I should fix this", and then just go home" LOL I've been there, too, Sometimes, we just need to take a break and come back when we are refreshed. Fun episode - making progress!
Awesome coverage. You are awesome wanting and knowing how to fix things up right. What a world we would have if all people were like you.
Jason - thanks for posting again! It looks like gutter clutter will be a lifetime battle. Persevere!
The good thing is that you are not lacking video material.
Yay boring talking!!
Nooo, bad gutters!!
When the non-pro knows more and does a better job than the "pro". 💪💯
It's a lot, but you're moving forward! 😊✌
ProTip call a roofer and gets an estimate to fix it. While repair guy is there pick his brain on how he'd do it. Then do it yourself. 😊
That's exactly what I was thinking. I wasn't going to suggest a professional with the implication that they would do it better or that Jason doesn't know what he's doing. I would suggest getting a gutter specialist to come out and take a look just to hear how they might approach this repair work. Some old head veteran industry guy just might have some ideas you haven't thought of yet. You can still do the work yourself after a specialist drops some knowledge bombs. Worst case, he doesn't tell you anything you don't already know.
Most of the guys out here hire 18 year old kids to do their labor. Very very hard to find old veterans these days and come out and do any sort of estimates. All the guys I had come out to give estimates were like in their early 20s and they have never seen anything like this, they say all they do is calculate the length of gutter and the type and put it into a calculator and give me a price thats it. They also always assume the worst so the repair estimates have be wildy high
Tbat gutter system wins the Big Cluster F@#k award in my book!! I enjoy hearing your reasoning process on your videos!!
Yay talking 🎉
I am quite impressed with what you have taken on in buying and repairing this school! As a mother and grandmother, PLEASE be careful when you are on the roof! You frighten Mimi Cindy 😉
Enjoy all the things. Haters gonna hate. You’ll evolve and change over time if you feel pressured. Video editing and narration after and text on screen all take time and no reason to sink much in when you have projects to attend to now.
This whole process is so intriguing, grateful your taking time to let us in on your renovation
Just remember you can't put just put a Band-Aid on an Artery wound. You got to get to bottom to build upon and fix the damage where it is. Don't forget the idea of adding a gutter within the gutter like an aqueduct for flow. PS remember that if you do electric work doesn't it have to be inspected by the electric police or they'll make you tear it out.
Already inspected and approved. I just disconnected the circuit on that box to stop those random lights from being on 14 hours a day for no apparent reason. Not to mention half the lights are on my neighbors driveway!
You sure have a wealth of knowledge about building. That's a good thing to have with all you're putting into this!
Fiberglassing the entire gutter system right over the old would be an easy fix bc you could grade it to flow properly and it would cover the old mistakes
Love the talking videos. My wife and I always refer to the non talking videos as “music videos”. I like when you talk through what you’re doing! Keep it up and ignore the ones that are telling you to not talk.
you have your plate full yikes , but the doggos look very happy
They sleep like they pay the bills around here, haha thanks for the comment!
I was thinking that to save time in the future, remove the railing around the roof and replace it with tin sheeting from the roof tiles down to the edge and install gutters
The railings are all concrete. Removing them would be a lot of work with structural issues to take into account. Not to mention what removing them will do to the aesthetics of the building.
Reminds me of a movie from a long time ago called the 'Money Pit' BUT remember in the end the "house" huge old grand one came out fabulous and shall yours as well! Don't give up the fight, challenge and fun along the way!!
I agree with a lot of people. Get the water intrusion figured out and stopped before you start anything else in the big house. You could turn the little building into an apartment(s) and start getting an income to help offset the expenses.
So need to get away. How I wish that I was there appreciating this amazing old structure. Thank you kindly for sharing!
I enjoy your talking. It makes the video better. I have never seen gutters like what you have. Keep up the great work you’re doing and explaining the issues!
Yason, you’re very brave taking all this work on. Keep going, we are enjoying watching your journey.
Those slates are beautiful. I'm sure there will be plenty more squirrel moments to come.
The camera work is getting better. I don’t mind the talking at all. I’m totally invested and can’t wait to watch the property come along. ❤ Keep the videos coming and I’ll keep watching them. You should be proud- most the keyboard warriors in the comments could never handle this or would be capable of doing what you are doing. Brush it off. Good on you man!
Yes, by all means direct the water off the main roof with the gutter and put it over the side so the water goes off the roof completely. For now that will help mitigate issues by preventing water from entering the gutter in the first place.Good luck in fixing things.
I really enjoy your videos. Mostly the talking because I like learning about the techniques, materials and tools you use to problem solve. I also like watching you working on things as we see the progress! It's all enjoyable! Thanks!
I like the problem solving “talk”. When I hire out work, I always talk to the guys about what they are planning to do and what alternatives there are. We used to do a lot of stuff ourselves but..old age, ya know.
You will get there step by step! Clearly throughout the years problems in the gutter were patched up fast and dirty! Keep up the good work and you will have a watertight roof in the end and a beautiful building!
This is a great video, love you talking to us showing what you are doing . If others dont like it they can bugger off, dont change for others. I enjoy watching your journey. in restoring your school into a home, Rome was not build in a day, same goes for repairs that have been neglected for many years, you are getting it done and it will slowly fall into place . 1 step forwards 2 step back you are and will find many more hidden problems as you go this is a great challenge for you so enjoy the ride one day at a time, but please get plenty of rest. :) love your dogs
Thank you! Every bit helps to get things better!
I love your videos. I wait for them. lol. I am learning a lot. My husband can no longer dobrepairs or work around the house, so, as a granny I am learning how to do all kinds of things I never thouhht I would have to do. Thanks for the talking whole you show us. Hope you have people to help you with this huge project. you are knowledgable and will do it right, I am sure. Keep on keeping on my new friend
Ypu are fun to watch!
Tough job , but you seem determed
Yason you’re doing a great job, there are always surprises when renovation. I think I would be changing the roof design! 😱 You are very patient & persistent, they are truly admirable qualities. And you’re going to need them 👍
I love to hear you talk!! Don't listen to negative people! This project is very interesting! I'm with you till the end!!❤
I just sub., from Jackson, MS. The shoddy "professional" work is what has been done to me here in Jackson multiple times. I'm disabled now and can't do my own work like I used to, ask me if I'm FRUSTRATED!!!
I hear you! That would drive me nuts! Thanks for the sub!
Harbor freight has cheap 4-wheel dollies you can get to put your water can on. Strap it down and you can move it full.
Whom ever did that gutter/roof work needs to be held responsible and their names revealed. What CRAP!
I literally sit around on a monday waiting for you to post.
Thank you! haha Though I try to release all video at 5pm est! So you can take a nap or do some other stuff before then! Appreciate the support So much!
I love your channel. You give very intelligent, information. Very knowledgeable, and people watching your channel, can learn.
The negative comments, are just that. Negative. There just dumb asses, that have nothing better to do than pick at peoples channels. You present well, give great informative insight to repairs needed that can help others doing similar work. Im learning so much from you. 🙏.
YOU DO YOU. You will have a loyal following.❣️🥰
Thank you so much!
Thanks for bringing me along! Don't respond to negative comments. Keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you!
You have quite the journey ahead of you. The work will get done. Sleep is important, so take care of yourself!
Trim the trees back away from the building otherwise you'll have to keep cleaning the gutters. Either that or some really big custom gutter guards lol.
Yason, your commentary is spot on. I like knowing what problems you uncover and how you plan to fix them. Getting a so called pro doesn’t necessarily fix the problem. I believe you are competent and will fix things as they arise. Crack on!
Thank you so much!
Black is typically live wire, white is neutral.
You go Jason, love your positivity!!!! You have a lot of knowledge, and you look up information on the net. I look forward to each and every update you are able to provide. Thanks for taking time out of your day to share with us all.
Thank you for watching and your great comments!
Yeah, I like your talking too. And, leveler is great but remember, gutters don't want to be level. Gotta have a little slope. Love your work.
It is best to do as much work yourself and you'll appreciate your home much more. Keep up the good work you're doing.
Look into a product called "wet it n forget it" I have had very good results with it. Works great on exterior mold and mildew
I like the roof and puppies! Keep chatting :)
I’m hooked on this series keep up the awesome work
Circuit breaker tracing - get a socket pigtail (Leviton R60-00055-000 for an example) and then a circuit breaker tracer like Klein Tools M2O41519KIT - you can temp wire the pigtail into a circuit, screw the sending unit into the socket pig tail then have fun checking all your panels for the tracer signal!
Great idea I will definitely have to do that when i start the inside renovations! thank you!
I feel for you bro. You're a braver man than I am and I admire your work ethic. Having said that, I'd be frightened to move forward without professional advice and or expertise to deal with all those roof and chimney issues. But that's just me. So rock on and keep up the good work.
I’m really enjoying your adventure!!! Please keep posting!
- Gutters - Hopefully the underlaying structure is not rotted out, but plan for the worst. It seems the backup of leaves and debris is caused by the grates. Do the downspouts discharge out on the ground or do they feed into an underground storm water system of some kind? That may be clogged, causing some of the backups - as shown in the power washing clip. Municipalities have banned downspout connections to the sewer system. If the downspouts drained to the ground, the grates could be eliminated and most of the depris would flow through and discharge to the ground.
- Point a security camera in the direction that ball came from.
- The "Pros" - My mother had the "pros" install her gutters. A simple, basic job, residential aluminum gutters. They are pitched backwards, away from the downspouts! Water pools on the low side. These "pro" companies hire unskilled, cheap day labor to do the dirty work as quickly and shoddily as possible. That is why I am a DIYer.
- Help - Consider hiring a day laborer or two to help with the tear-out of the membranes. I suspect it will take much longer and be much harder than expected. Save yourself for the installation and finishing work. I was thinking about college students for the summer, but that opens up a potential rat's nest of liability issues.
Appreciate the tips and comment! The gutters go down into a sewage system. I am honestly not sure if its city sewage or private because there is a manhole cover in my driveway in the back and it doesnt have any township/city markings on it. Its possible it might have its own cistern, could not find any records.
That was so awesome. Thanks for taking us along.
When you work on the gutters and roof please be careful! 😬
Sorry to all those people that want you to keep all the vegetation. But there’s a lot of reasons to get rid of a lot of it. But again the good news is that you can then put in something that you really want and that will be practical for the area. 2030 years ago or earlier people didn’t think about it. They just planted whatever they wanted. They never realize that those plants are going to get big, and usually they get much bigger than they say they’re going to get.
As long as the job is done properly, it doesn’t matter who does it. Gutters may not be your career but you’re a smart guy, do your research and do the job properly and you’ll be alright. Managing water is the biggest problem with building maintenance. Take care of the unseen elements, foundation, roof, structure, etc. Get to the cosmetic fixes later.
I’m excited for you. Hard work is its own reward.
Great channel enjoying your journey all that your sharing with us, keep up the good work. I know it sucks to have to cut out all the old gutter felt but in the long view it'll save more issues.
Lots of work. But you are doing great. Glad you bringing the building back to life. Good job. Keep up the good work. Take care. God Bless
Thank you!
Hi there. So you want to definitely use a laser leveler on the gutters and use pegs, strings, or grease paint lines to mark the appropriate level of slope to make sure the leveling is as effective as possible. Measure thrice, cut only once.
On the roof, save your money and replace the slate with something else. Slate is a TERRIBLE roofing material. It is really only used to "look posh". Historically it was only used because back in the day, many towns had nearby deposits of slate/schist and thus it was a free natural resource.
I think you're brilliant and don't talk enough! Brave move, but very rewarding! Need a cleaning lady? I'm retiring soon!
I’m sure at some point I’ll need one! Thanks for the support!
