    OUTSTANDING!!! Your comment "Perseverance and Courage" definitely encouraged my Mom & I as she & I diy makeover our home that my Grandad designed & built over 58 years ago for my Grandmom. Thank you.....Mom knows how to do the work, but Grandad (her diy partner) passed away 8 yrs ago & Mom's confidence in diy (ing) took a hit. Thank you, again....I've shown your video to Mom & she appreciated the renewal of courage to "just do it".

    Your husband is lucky to have someone as fearless and Beautiful as you!! I live in a house that has cedar siding and after it was painted not to long ago it started pealing. From what i found, you have to use special cedar primer or latex primer because cedar releases tannins which causes paint to peel off. I never thought of staining, thats brilliant!!

    Thanks for taking the time for this compilation vlog -- it is truly AMAZING the progress you have made and AWESOME choices you picked in creating such a cool new/old home. So many people i know would have never even seen the "vision" that you had for this place before you bought it -- you are proving how important "the location" of a new home can be because the structure in the right location can become a wonderful "nest". Plus if you resold it now it would be valued so much higher.

    Awesome video as always. I've been doing general Electrical Work for over 30 years though I'm not a Licensed Electrician, I am very skilled. One of the first things I learned is what wire to connect first and that is the Ground Wire or Bare Wire. Followed by the White and of course last but not least the Black Wire. Reason being you want to always connect the ground first to give the Electric a place to go, other than through you, should the circuit be live for whatever reason. I'm sure your circuit was off but it's always better to be safe than sorry. I've been hit from circuits that I knew were off, but because of prior DIYERs simply mixing wires, that they thought they knew what they were doing, apparently didn't know.
    When you connected the Black Wire first your body could be used as a ground, if it was hot you could have been hit with 110/120, not deadly but will wake you up and possible cause you to fall from the ladder as you jump for joy from the shock. Glad to see all turned out well. Electric is like the Circle of Life, what comes around goes around, and the last thing anyone wants to do is become part of that Circuit.
    I've seen electrical work, again completed by the not so smart, that was simply terrifying; and I mean worse than the original Michael Myers or Texas Chain Saw Massacre movies and I'm here to say that sight gave me nightmares. It was in a Garage and only a single 30 Amp Circuit which combined 10, 12, and 14 gauge wire when it should have only contained 10 gauge wire. There was only the single 30A Breaker in the main house and a single wire ran out to the garage to a Junction Box, then all sorts of nasty connected from there.
    A combination of electrical tape, wire nuts and whatever else they used, made me think constantly how has this garage not burned down years ago. In another spot they used a Bare Ground Wire as the White Wire to an outside Light that was not water sealed in any way, shape or form but clearly I digress... Luckily the wire from the house to the garage was 10 gauge wire. I proposed a solution to the home owner and they agreed that a Subpanel was best. I was able to use the original wire from the house to the garage and install a Subpanel in the Garage. This allowed for 2 30A Circuits, or 2 double pole 30A Breakers, one in the House and the other in the Garage, to safely feed the garage with a 220V circuit. I didn't have the means to only connect a single 30A Double Pole but the benefit to be able to turn off the electric from the Basement or Garage was an advantage; and the 30A double pole didn't cost a lot so excessive cost wasn't an issue. Nothing in the garage required 220V but now it was possible should they get something in the future that required 220V. I ran several 15 and 20 Amp Circuits to safely feed the garage and even single runs for the Fridge and Window AC. No more dimming of the lights when the Fridge kicked on and now it's possible to have AC in the garage; something they couldn't do before.
    Again great video. Anyone looking to do their own Electric just remember GROUND WIRE FIRST, followed by White, then push all the wires into the box then connect the Black Wire and gently press it on top of the other wires; that's by far the best way to stuff a box with Wire... Kidding of course, never overstuff an electrical box... I look forward to your next video...

  • @josephmetzger8648

    It looks great! The only thing I saw that should have been done was to put down a landscape fabric, then your drain pipe, rock, and then cover the rock with landscape fabric before the dirt is applied. In time, the dirt will just plug up the rocks. You did cover the pipe, which is good. Protecting the rock in a drainage situation is the best.
    But other than that, it was a great renovation, my hats off to you.

    @quadrabdreams Год назад

    The grey color scheme is nice. Def agree the counter space was more useful than the door. Would like to point out that cedar siding is nice, not bad, and that the old paint was peeling because the previous owners didn't give the siding a few days to dry out after pressure washing like you did (evidenced by the raised grain from pressure washing and peeling paint from painting a damp wood). The retaining wall is nice though I'd put the new finish grade of the gravel a few inches below the siding (for snow and heavy rains when moisture rises). Lastly as a general carpenter it's in my opinion that you do some very impressive work in doors and cabinets, and with trim as well I would assume. And that you do as solid a job as anyone when doing the rough carpentry. You mentioned not caulking the plywood anymore but also you don't want to tape the horizontal seams of your vapor barrier as it's meant to breathe through those seams. But like you said there's no need to contract out the exterior jobs like patching holes where doors once were. You got skills to put a lot of paid personnel to shame but it's important to be mindful of the fact that the dwelling rots and returns to the earth without constant intervention. Meanwhile raising a child right perpetuates itself for an untold number of generations. Suggestion: when the kids get old enough to help, let them, even though it slows progress on the immediate project, humanity needs and you will benefit from, children being raised in a nurturing environment. PS Keep up the good work
