Restoring A $7,000 Mansion: Kitchen Floor Rebuild
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- I am working in my mansion, fixing the warped floors, replacing broken wood, and tearing out old walls. I am using a few simple tools, strong hands, great neighbors and friends, plus a good, positive, attitude.

I may be 67 but if I lived near you I would love to help you. I have been a carpenter, plumber and electrician in my life time and I have watched all your videos and love everyone. Thanks for the good videos.
I'm sure they can use you, bring camper and drive to their farm LOL!
Hire this man!
Take some hammers too! And a chalk line 😂
You'd also need to take your own radio to play your country songs with. Give those three BOYS some decent music to listen to. Oh you could even play some heavy metal, not cast, music too for Roman!
You could always be the general contractor overseeing the project 🤷🏻♂️ pack up the camper and head over 💁♂️😂
This video was not meant to be a comedy, but when Roman's hammer head came off. I just roared with laughter. I'm renaming this "The Three Carpentry Stooges". Seriously, you three are doing a great job!
Best comment award!!
A lot of people don't even remember the Three stooges.... So you were an older fella... like me...I would guess.....😂😂..... JJ...😊
Me too! Scared the cat off the couch. 🤣🤣🤣
Roman has turned this into comedy hour and I like it he keeps everyone on there toes 😂
Yes and Roman doesn't yell at the camera all the time.
Roman, you are such a gift: as a friend, a consultant, an employee. You are a gift to our country. You make us all better. Your sense of humor keeps things light. I love watching all of you working together. Great editing, too.
He truly is flat out HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
Roman is from where?
Roman yours too😊
@@reneegoodin1317 I believe he's said Ukraine
seriously Cole, waiting for the new video is killing me. my days go by so slowly looking forward to your new adventures around the house. let's go😊😅
❤ to see how this Mansion will be rebuilt!
Years ago, two guys spent two entire days getting the bathroom walls perfectly straight. Since it was going to be tilled. What you are doing now is so critical to making the rest of the build easier. Sound foundations are the keys to a great construction project. Keep it up.
Hoping to see Roman’s chicken coop build when he gets to it.
Oh yeah. He could either add that to the end of each of Cole's videos, like maybe the last ten minutes of each, OR, start his own You Tube Channel.
Omg , the three of you ,guys , Make a good comedy team . Love your videos
We NEED a Roman-Hoodie-Bestowing-Ceremony, with all the pomp and circumstance the Cornstars can muster!
Am I the only one that thinks Roman needs his own channel. Like I REALLY want to see how he builds the chicken coop with all those old warped boards! And Justin, you are a Saint for dealing with these two knuckleheads all day! ;-0
Been doing construction for 1/4 of a century. The bantering/bickering of coworkers never gets old.😂
I swear... these three are comedy gold. Gotta love the mutual admiration society.
You guys are amazing. I'm an old lady just loving your videos. Love the humor .
I love watching the dynamic between the three of you. So glad that Justin has “come out of his shell” and in front of the camera more. Justin, you’re a natural.
I think Roman deserves a hoodie. I am absolutely amazed at the complexity of remodeling. it is amazing what you guys can get done and the strength you need to have to do the things you do amazing
Give him as many as he wants 😊
Screw the floor and it will never creek and squeak. Nail the floor and squeaks happen over time as the nail is pulled and rubs on the substrate. More work, but better long term.
A little glue works too.
Totally agree, glue and screw the floor.
You are right, that’s what happened to our home. The floor was screwdriver down when we changed the floor. No more squeaks.
Glue it and screw it. Blocking would be good too
I glued and screwed my sub when I built 8 years ago. Still no squeaks.
I like the quiet guy he's getting the job done
Justin 👍👍
If you're jacking up from the main floor, there needs to be a basement support directly underneath also, otherwise the floor joists will sag under the weight/pressure. Also if the floor joists are bowed, cut the nails from each end and flip the board crown up. If the crown is excessive, plane them down to level. Could save some costs. And for the love of god, remember the joists blockers for extra support and to prevent twisting!
When sistering joists make sure to glue and screw. Much stronger bonding and will prevent squeaking in the future. Same for the OSB. You will regret not doing that.
I can see the great pride on you face to be able restore/remodel your Grandfather's house. I'm so glad you let us in on it.😊❤😊❤
It's a remodel. Not a restoration at all. And he couldn't do it without us. He should be thanking us.
I'm enjoying the videos of your restoration process. My parents home burned into the ground when I was 5 years old. We stayed with my maternal grandparents while my Daddy rebuilt our home. Being the oldest, I could spend more time with him during the build. I still love the smell of fresh-cut lumber. I hope y'all will show a video of Roman's completed chicken coop.
I've been in construction for over 20 years and this is some of the best explanations of remodeling I've ever heard
Thanks I was wondering about that myself, being someone who knows nothing about construction. Coming from a former beautician of 25 yrs.
I am amazed that you are using Chip board/pressboard/OSB for you subfloor and not plywood
@Cole The Cornstar
Hey Cole, don't forget to insulate the cavity where the floor joists touch the outside walls.
Rim joist area.
I bet it will get the spray foam as well.
Always a good day when Cole posts
Yes❤
TOOL COMPANIES NEED TO GET SPONSORING THESE GUYS, REALLY SHOW OFF THE TOOL AND IT'S PREFORMANCE.

No it’s actually the views so share the video
I see I was wrong. Thanks for clarifying 👍
Roman is so much fun. Cracks me up . Great getting so much done Justin
Is incredibly organized and great choice in GC .
My sister bought all pink colored tools for the house. Those didn’t disappear like all other tools she bought to use in the house. They didn’t wander away.
Funny you should say that, we went looking for a new power cord for our business years ago and got a purple one really cheap because it had sat in the building supply shop for years, no man wanted a purple cord.😂😂😂
If they made blue ones, i would buy them. As it is, i can use cobalt blue electrical tape on all my tools!
I couldn’t find good tools with pink handles to discourage them from migrating from under my sink to my husband’s shop, so I got a large spray can of baby pink paint. Sprayed my drill, my dremmel tools, my sanders. It worked. I dearly loved my husband, but he was hell on tools.
I wrote, “I kiss men!” on all my tools and flashlights to keep my husband and 3 sons from stealing them. Some, still, disappeared. lol
Too bad I didn’t think of pink paint! I am a 78 year old woman who hand built her home. Any time I wanted a new tool, I bought it for my husbands gifts during all the gifting occasions. 😁
I can't believe I watched this episode from start to finish. A program that explains the work to be done, shows in detail the work done, and throws in a little humor (only a little), is always interesting. Thank you.
From what little I know about this whole process, it appears that it is/was a good idea to remove all of the stuff that you did. Building on top of all the imperfections that are there does seem ridiculous. Great call Cole!
Loved it when Roman corrected you on the ‘six sets of hands,!
There are ladies watching too, let's see some pink merch!! 🎉
My daddy would flip houses when I was a girl, I love watching the process!
Also, 275 pound grip strength is not a big surprise after the arm wrestling comp!
Lots of views already these are some of the most anticipated videos you have done keep up the great work
❤ having Roman and Justin on your channel Cole. You 3 make a great team. I have laughed so much! Thank you!
Dang, it feels like it's been a month since you posted a video. I was watching another video and when yours popped up i hurried off that video to watch your video. You guys didn't let me down. Great video!!
Thank you ❤
Got to love both the informative and comedy aspects of these videos! Roman is hilarious but full of knowledge and it seems like Justin is more comfortable on camera. Can't wait to see the final product when the house is finally done!
Cole give the poor guy a hoodie he deserves it cause he worked his butt off honestly
Cole, you are incredibly fortunate to have Justin and Roman working with you. As spectators, we can sense they are caring about the renovation.
You 3 really "Floored" me with the work you've accomplish in this episode. When will the insulation be sprayed on the exterior walls in the kitchen and other areas on the 1st floor? God bless you all and your families and I look forward to the next episode. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.
Since Juston knows all the little tricks and secrets to make things come out right, maybe you should put a little something extra in his pay envelope each. 😉
Plus his ability to deal with his two assistants. 😜
Some of those interior walls do spread the load though technically not load bearing they do spread the load and lessen the 2nd floor bounce.
They 100% are load bearing! That span is exactly twice as wide as the joists can span! Not only that, but it's balloon framed and doesn't have the necessary support at the exterior wall!
Tip #1: just because joist span the entire way, doesnt mean the wall isnt load bearing.
This is the joys of renovating old homes, nothing level, nothing straight , nothing plum.
Also theres nothing wrong that chalk line, its fast wind up. I habe older ones slow wind up.
I built over 80 pole barn type structures after high school from hotels to machinery sheds and it blow my mind that some of the finishes in that house were unbelievable and some were about as poor as you can get. FYI I'm Justin's age and I still have my 28oz waffle head Estwing hammer and chalk line from 1984 that drove a million nail from 60's to 8's.
If that 1984 hammer still has any evidence of the original waffle face on the head, its not been used very much!! I have a few of the 28oz. estwing waffles that look as smooth as a finish hammer...LOL
It's started out a waffle head It's smoother that a babies butt.
Mine is from 1987 the waffle has been gone for 30 years and the claws are getting short.
That waffle was gone year 2.
Just curious...
1. How many months do estimate it will take to finish the job?
2. How many days / hours do you work per week?
3. Do you plan on subcontracting anything?
4. Who edits your videos (top-notch)?
5. Can you get a better microphone so you don't have to scream at us?
I love your tidiness. It makes me sad to see farms with all the broken "lawn trophies" lying around just rusting and looking ugly. You really made your farm look like a true Amish-level simplicity! Your barn and workshop look like freaking Yankee Workshop. I get so damn happy when I see a new video posting! Please keep up your hard work, you guys deserve it :)
The guy that edits the videos showed his face about 5/6 videos ago, some random guy.
@@emma_m0Sedrick is his name. New employee.
I'm barely into the video and had to stop to write a comment! SO desperate to see "what comes next." Sometimes, I'm going about my business doing things -- and I'll think of Cole, Juston & Roman and what they might be doing while I wait on pins and needle for the next video. Love the editing! You said Cedric (SP) as I recall. Okay --Now I'm headed back to delve into this newest part of the adventure! Love EVERYTHING!
Love Cole’s humor!
Cole, your house is already magnificent, and about 3 times bigger than the average home!!
It will be amazing for you to live in it, it has been in your family so long yet you were the only one who was brave enough to nurse it back to great condition. I cant wait to see the finished project!
Cole good thing your home is a historical family home, because that adds a lot of value to it for you and your family. Any other old houses, this could easily be a money pit. I really admire your ambition and love to rebuild this home. I will be here to watch every episode!
I am really enjoying the longer videos. I just wish we could get them more frequently. I am addicted.
The "NEW" "This Old House". Maybe have Tommy come over and take a look! I'll bet he'd be fascinated! You're getting it right. What a fun watch with a great cast of "characters."
I love watching these videos more because they go step by step as if they are making an instructional video that you can actually learn from. This Old House just spends about 5 minutes explaining a portion of a task since there are so many trades on the job site at a time.
When I was in my teens I left home and went to live with my cousin and her husband, they were a professional couple, she was an engineer and he was a heating/cooling expert and also a general contractor. They built a 7500 sq ft home (plus 2000 sq ft basement) they lived in a little trailer on the property until it was dried in then we all moved in.. . My cousins husband is from Denmark and they travelled to Europe often to shop for their appliances, tiles etc for their home. On Sunday mornings we all piled onto the huge extra long king bed and had tea, scones and watched “ this old house”. I was 16 at the time. It truly felt like I was living in a dream. There were some pretty big problems at my home, hence why I left. I will never hear this old house and not think about those many months of this lovely slow start to a Sunday.
@@makeuplover6852You were lucky to have such a wonderful place to go. Great story.
The first time I saw Justin in a video was “in the beginning”. A storm had blown a large amount of steel off the roof of the building where you used your store your corn (I think), and he had come over and coordinated the repair. All that to say, that it’s taken 6 years to see what a great sense of humour he has. Man, we’ve been missing out! 🤣
In old houses, like the 100 years old in 1960 when my dad bought it you should sister kitchen joists because ?
Fridges, stoves, counters and middle of kitchens islands are heavy.
When my Mom had our house gutted and modernized she insisted on having that done.
She got fed up with 2 general contractors she found were attempting to screw her so she went to school and got certified as a general contractor herself and took over supervising her house being built above code.
Cole, I have followed your channel for years. It’s so great to see it come full circle. You have earned this, and I for one am happy to see you enjoying the fruits of your work. 😊
Roman has been such a good addition to the channel. What a great guy. Never really got to know Justin from past videos but he is quite a ham. You all make a great team.
Love your humor, guys! Glad you're having some fun during all the hard work! Thanks for letting us in on it!😊
After listening to Roman and ask for a hoodie so many times I guess it kind of tugged at my heartstrings, so if Justin doesn't have one I would like to buy him one.
I love all your videos been watching for 4 plus years keep up the good work.
Go Justin Go! Don't let those boys get you down. YOU the MAN
Any other contractor I have ever seen deal with uneven floor joists, has always sistered-up straight joists as an arbitrary level, and used the new Straight joists to Mark any crowned joists, and cut them Square, with a circular saw.
This is the first contractor I've ever seen, do this right, in my life !!
Kudos !!
(I'm 65)
I'm very proud of you Cole . You've done a lot of work . I've been watching all your videos the last 3 years🎉🎉
Roman and Justin totally make this video fun! We love you Cole but they are a refreshing addition!! 😂❤
I wish I could share my grandfather Victorian 10,000 sq ft home on Mercer Island, Washington, built by his great grandfather in 1880. They were so rich they would paint the windows black during the depression so no one would see inside. I did not inherit the home, but I did get the furniture!!! It's still as beautiful they day they bought it!
Just make a video of it and share the link from your channel. Or, create your own channel. Sounds like a must see!
I have been thinking about it. I have a farm that needs cleaning up from my father and building a new barn. That way I can tell the story of the land to my grandchildren.
thats so cool, i know the area its very nice over there
It is sure fun to watch you guys on a cold gray day. The horsing around is great but then you all are serious with the work of it and doing such a good job. Someday you will look back and think what a terrific time it all was.
These are the best videos with the 3 of you. You have good friends in these 2 Cole. I hope you can keep Roman around the farm I look forward in seeing him. He is so nice.😊
Believing in Jesus creates an awesome individual 😊
That chalk line looks just like the one I have and it works fine.
I think the boys, Roman and Cole, are just upset because they're used to using the kind of chalk that they draw on the sidewalk with. 😜
Wait a minute that is the same chalk line I have. It's NOT broke, so it doesn't need fixed NOR replaced!!! 😂
Hi Guys from the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York! I love watching your progress and the interaction between the teammates. You guys are funny! But seriously as a Dad and someone who has been on lots of construction sites over the last 4 decades could you please consider wearing safety glasses? You all are a bit cavalier with smashing stuff that splinters or shatters. Its a hazard and eyes are hard to fix. Keep doing such a great job! Cole I hope you know how blessed you are to be renovating a family treasure. Sure it takes hard work and money but having the opportunity is simply priceless. The house will be phenomenal when you complete it. And you will have a lifetime of memories. Best regards, GZ
Gentlemen,
The screws and the adhesive on the joists under the OSB, are the best way to avoid 'squeaks' in the floor.
The sistering of the joists is also going to make for a much stronger floor. Good job!
In my opinion your videos will probably not only entertain, but educate as you're working through each task, as you work on the restoration. Once on the famous TV program 'This Old House', Mr. Norm Abram, master woodworker, was talking about not enough young people wanting to enter the carpentry trade. I think your videos might help plant the 'seed' of looking at a career in carpentry / construction. Thats like the cherry on the sundae, of what you're focused on accomplishing. That is a wonderful thing.
Roman, hope you can find a hammer that can hold up to your demolishing. As i mentioned before, you don't need to prove anything. Nothing wrong with 275. Not many 275's around. Just be yourself.
In other ways - each of you are 300's, because each of you has different strong points. God gives each of us a gift. Just do the best you can with it, and be careful so you go home to your families in one piece. God bless.
Why did you not use a bead of construction adhesive between the floor joists and the subfloor 42:00 in addition to screws for added strength and squeak prevention? Also, where are your noggins between the floor joists?
Just seen your comments totally agree about the noggins & floor adhesive & screws
I've got idea of where their noggins are...
These guys are in over their heads.
They quite clearly put construction adhesive down... and the joists are tied to the beam in the middle of the joist span.
Just who and what I wanted to see!! The Juston/Roman/Cole show!! And working on reconstruction not destruction!!!!
I really appreciate the step by step commentary of the process.
Love watching the three of you.
Please give Roman a hoodie 😊
20:42 “that’s a pretty large span break or no break.” I build decks and I can’t span 2x10 12’ without a beam under it.
100% guarantee that span needs to be broken in half! It appears to be around 18'.
2x4 floor joists?
Great video is always . Just a suggestion when you put your sewer drain back in the wall you may want to use cast-iron that way you won’t hear the water running down the pipe in the wall with cast-iron. You won’t hear the water going down the pipe. Just a suggestion.
Love watching you guys. You’re so lucky to have Justin.
It's great to see that there are still hardworking guys around
Not only do you guys make this interesting, you make construction so enjoyable!
fixing old houses, you learn the difference between "level" and "true." Good work so far!
I am so happy you are starting the build. Cannot wait to see the transformation.
Wait, no Lazer level
You could use some of your old radiators in the basement in the laundry room. It would be easy to hook up with your radiant flooring.
????
@pattiwhite9575 ??? Use the old radiators to heat the basement, he will be using radiant floor heating for the house. All other takes is a little extra piping to use them.
oh got ya@@jahn9960
I dont think he is keeping the washing machine in the basement, at least not their only washer. I bet one goes upstairs, closer to the bedrooms. I know i would do this.
Cole, I also have a huge old farmhouse. Mine is about 5000 square feet and built in 1890 in Lyndon Vermont. I made use of a large unused attic space by building a really neat movie theater with a stage and stadium seating. It will seat up to 12 people. I made it as much like a real theater as possible. Its been a huge hit with friends and family. Most cant believe I did it. You may want to try it with all that extra space.
at the beginning when roman was smiling it made me smile too.
Oh my goodness! I helped my father remodel our home. I learned to strip, sand, stain, and varnish all the wood in the house. He then did antiques he found. That door behind you in the kitchen is gorgeous! Do whatever it takes to save the doors, especially if they have the original glass. ❤😊 This crazy weather is perfect for gutting the house! It's been absolutely fantastic. Just the right temperature not to get hot inside, and not freeze your caboose. The weather alone has to be getting some time shaved off. 😊
Make sure you get the required amount of bridging in between your floor joists installed before putting your subfloor on, or you could have a torsional buckling structural failure of the floor joist. You really don't want that to happen.
You need to get a book called "Modern Carpentry". It has 'span tables' which you obviously need! The support walls you are removing prevent 'deflection' of the floor above. You will have sagging, squeaky, weak floors without them.
I'm REALLY enjoying watching you guys renovating the mansion. It's great seeing your camaraderie and good humour, and the videos are fun as well as informative. It's a treat every time. Thanks guys. Be safe. 🤗👍💞
So exciting to see the beginning of putting the house back in order! I love watching you guys!
All you have to do is make a positive comment and you get hit with a ton of negative ones. I’m glad I can see the good in people and what they are doing, it must be a sad life for all the negative people. You guys keep making good videos by good people and I’ll keep watching. Thank you Cole and all your team for the joy your videos bring.
I'm loving the build series thanks everyone❤️
Roman if bullshit was a snow flake you would be a walking blizzard, don't ever change, you guys work well together ,
great job.
😂
Sure hope we see Roman in more videos he’s absolutely hilarious. He oughta start his own RUclips channel
I love seeing more of Justin’s personality starting to come out and we get a much better picture of how you all interact when the camera is off! Good Work Boys! YFFW!
Try screwing in drywall screws to your existing wall frame. We had to add all new 2×4 and sister them to the existing. Our 1800 farm house the wood had basically petrified. Dad got tired of predrilling for every drywall screw. So he just slapped up new 2×4s to make putting drywall up easier. It's something you should test now while the house is gutted. Just see if you have to fight the wood with drywall screws
Yup, I'm doing drywall over 100 year old studs and rafters right now and that old wood is so dry and hard. We put 2x2 furring strips on all the old studs. Makes putting in the drywall screws much easier (partly because the torque is consistent, so the screws are easier to set properly), plus we get a couple more inches of insulation.
I love the longer videos. The new guy is doing a really good job with editing. Keep them coming, I am so invested in this remodel.
Just a suggestion...put the date and the protect n people on the new lumber for the next Restoration in 100 years!!🏡
02/29/2024 Cole the Corn Star AND CREW..new subfloor n OSB....
Remodel not restoration
He will just leave a youtube link so they can go back and watch this rebuild series haha
I can’t believe you are using thin osb for your flooring.I’ve used STURDY BOARD for flooring the 15 years I built homes.
I have a feeling that this is only the beginning on cheapening out. OSB isn't much good for anything, especially flooring.
my father as well as myself and several cousins worked for the irwin auger bit company back in the 80’s early 90’s. we built products you would be proud to admit you did. they moved the company out of america for cheaper labor and that was the end. my dad was the forger of all the bits and screwdrivers. i was in packaging. we were all happy to work there. it destroyed our community when the left.
Having a strong level floor is so satisfying! What a great foundation for the work to come. This is so fun to watch. Stay safe and keep up the great work guys!
You gentlemen are wicked talented! I have loved watching every bit of this massive project, well done!
32000 lbs= 100 people? Man that gives corn fed a a whole new meaning😁
What is the load ( psi) or (psf)
Lol
😂 I was thinking the same thing!
