I need to find myself a Nick. He speaks to Jenna with a gentleness, kindness without belittling her inexperience. I also love their sense of humor and fun. ❤
I recently found out that those things, speaking to you with kindness and respect, are like, the bare minimum for a relationship. Wild 😅 But I hope you find a “Nick” too, just like I was able to 😊 (mine isn’t named Nick but yeah, you get it, lol).
Nice to see that Bombas is sponsoring the channel, my facilities I work at actually has gotten tons of socks donated by bombas. We provide healthcare to those experiencing homelessness.
JENNA.... PULLING NAILS..... when pulling stubborn nails, my dad always put a little strip of wood under the hammer head to increase the torque.... Nails come out faster and easier... Gives you more power when leaning into pull the nail
Your videos have convinced me that flat roofs in an area that gets a lot of rain is a very bad idea. Even the slightest of angles would have made a massive difference.
Yeah where I live flat roofs normally have a slight slope but a neighbour had their flat garage roof replaced badly and it's a permanent pond now. Sooner or later I think it will be a problem.
Depending on when it was built and what the code was at the time - unknown - but modern single-slope roof codes require a minimum grade, like 2:12 (two inches of pitch for every 12 inches of distance between the eave (low edge) and peak or ridge (high edge). Yours obviously had much less than that, if any - leading to the no bueno result over time. This has been a fascinating series to watch. I’m not much into crochet, but I am all-in on this. Thanks for taking us along your journey.
You two always speak to each other and with patience and kindness even throughout this exhausting and sometimes frustrating experience. Wanted to let you know that you both are so inspiring, in more ways than you may even know!
Nicky, before you start tearing your big chimney apart to get the flashing out, investigate using a grinder to cut it out a leave a groove for new flashing.
THIS!! His declarative statements and lack of curiosity drive me crazy. He's doing a great job throwing stuff away but I'm not sure he has a single plan for how to put this back together.
If the second chimney was anything like the first, it looks like the stone was needed to be removed anyhow. You shouldn't be able to pull or kick masonry apart.
As a retired carpenter have you considered when redoing the roof, put a slight picth on the roof, with a heayvier gutter system. Since roof is demoed it would be easier too handle, and in long haul will save the possibilities of future issues.
We have flat roofs where I live. The slopes are always accounted for and they all lead to drains that go through the walls, then dump outside at ground level, some continue underground and all take the rainwater to street drains. All roof and street drains require maintenance to remove debris and clean out. At least twice a year.
Hilarious how you pixelated the “ plumbers crack”. Glad to see you guys making progress on this beautiful old house. The view is amazing may your life’s journey be as beautiful as the view.👍👍🇨🇦
Exactly had the same thoughts : what are you gonna do with all this precious wood panels and beams ? It can be reused to make the new roof (with a slop this time), saving materials and money.
Exactly! I cringe at some of the stuff I see go straight to the bin! They are always saying how great the old wood is compared to what you get now days, & it's free! If you don't do furniture just move the boards tighter together like the do fences when the shrink. You could get a plainer (not that I know how to do that, but I've seen such things on RUclips) save tons of money! & it looks like you have more time than money in this deal. Your hard work is commendable for SURE! Time will go by & you will have a great house for alot less $. I hope.
Really a shame…I get it that they are probably too tired to think about stockpiling and reusing wood, but I bet a local furniture maker would take it off their hands.
Yessss! Im new here so I just binge watched all the videos and now I have to wait for the new ones! I really sit down for them with a snack:) longer would be fun!
I had told my wife that they could've used the long pieces of flashing as a gutter to drain the water off of the roof instead of into a bucket or trash container.
I really admire how you guys always make your work space tidy and clean. Even after hard work, you will always make sure the work area is clean n tidy. Good job guys.
**Items to consider before building back the roof** 1) Pre warming water for pool on the roof 2) go back with a 'Living' roof - since you already kind of had one 3) Solar Panels, a Storage bank, and selling power back to the electric company I bet you could get some serious sponsors to help support funding of these systems with your nearly a million Subscribers
The part of the country they are in has a fairly long rainy and cloudy winter. I’m not far myself and always wonder how well a solar array would do here.
Idk if somebody else already said it, but please take of your gloves/anything that’s dangling while using the saw or any other power tool! If your glove gets in the blade, your whole hand automatically goes in there too! Be safe (from a carpenter girl)! 🫶🏼
So true, got that advice drilled into me from a young age. If it spins, no gloves, no loose sleeves, no long hair, and NEVER jewelry. That last one... had it happen to a coworker and now I can't ever wear rings again.
Jenna, Hammer Tip: it is easier to pull nails, if you put a block of wood under the nose of the Hammer. you get more leverage that way, and the nails come out way easier. I know right now that you're hammering them back out, but if you hammer them out just enough to get the claw under the head first, then you can use the block trick to pull them out the rest of the way. glad you were able to save the large Chimney. you guys are doing an Awesome Job! 😀
You need a couple of cheap sump pumps and some hose. It will save you all that bailing. And as home owner having a pump (or two) will be a problem solved later on.
I love your videos! I’m 70 my husband and I have fond memories of the first house we did on a lake we are finishing our 5th forever house now! Keep going you’re both great!
As a civil engineer from Brazil, I confess I'm loving seeing the different construction methods applied elsewhere. Particularly the roof. It's very interesting to see how flat it is!! Maybe because rainfall rates in Brazil are much higher, it's very rare to see a roof like that...
The flat roof is more a matter of the mid century modern style popular when the home was built. Their area gets much rain. It would contribute to there being few of these houses remaining.
It's totally fine for places like California, Arizona, etc. and those places were growing rapidly at the time this house was built, so buildings of this style were popular, but it was a truly terrible idea to do something like this in the rainy Pacific Northwest. It looks great, but we have far too much rainfall and fog condensation to make it practical. This was around the time in history when we stopped being as regionally-specific with our architecture and construction, and as you can see it leads not just to cultural loss, but structural loss as well
They also get a decent amount of snow in British Columbia. Which means you might have to go up on that flat roof and shovel. It’s really not the most practical.
I'm so enjoying seeing the progress you two are making with the house, but I swear, I find myself holding my breath when you're on the roof. Be safe always!!
Nick has so much knowledge about construction, I'm always impressed. I love how you and your dad are wearing matching outfits, like you are playing on the same team for this renovation. The view from your roof is incredible, I could totally imagine a rooftop with chairs to enjoy the view.
Re: nail removal. My contractor just showed me there is a tool like a reverse nail gun that you just put it on the nail and it blows it out. You should check it out!
Air punch nail remover! I work with contractors (paint store) and most of the guys use an air punch to remove the nail, then a spring loaded nail punch to drive in the new one. There are so many cool gadgets out there!!
You shouldn’t have to demo the chimney to get the flashing off. It should be installed in a mortar joint. You should be able to cut and dig out the mortar joint to pull out the flashing. The new flashing will go back in same place with new mortar pointing installed. By the way, the flashing is installed in what is called a “raglet”.
Its so cute to see how nice and sweet you guys are to each other especially with how often he's calling you cute and talking so highly about how good you're doing!!
The way I would be so excited to take all those old beams and that glass, cut out all the bad parts and turn it into something new. I guess it's hard to tell without a close-up look, but so much of that looked salvageable.
Have any of your neighbours offered to help? If I were there, I would help not only because it's nice to, but also because it means the house gets done faster and the noise and stuff does too. You two are doing a great job and I hope to see you living in your home soon!
They have an amazing work ethic, great team work and a hecking adorable relationship! I love how Nick says the cutest things to her and they both just seem so genuine and nice. I love this series so much!!
Tip for the roof: I noticed when you were removing it there's A LOT of moss on the roof. Moss is murder for any roof, as it'll hold moisture. Moisture = weight. While you cannot remove the roof, do this to buy time 1. Wait for a week of like, no rain in the forecast. Then take off the tarp on the one part you can't pull and remove the moss. Afterward LEAVE IT UNCOVERED. Let it dry out. Then tarp it before it rains again. This will buy you some time . 2. Put some support beams inside for the roof. They make jack like ones in home Depot too. You can do both without a permit. That water will kill your roof and that tarp isn't helping
I love how nick is so supportive of jenna and always says "its so cute" to the things jenna does. It really melts my heart how you two just are just so sweet!😍
Regarding the trashcan water tanks... you can buy a super cheap submersible fish tank water pump (est $15) and some hose. Hook it up to power or battery pack and itll drain that 55 gallon trash can quickly. You could even wire it up to a cheap water sensor to kick on automatically.
I just love the way you two talk to each other and lift each other up through shared commitment to the project and laughter and excitement the whole way through!
A couple we used to hang out with when we were first married used to have a person who played bagpipes in their neighborhood. It was in a suburb of St. Louis, MO. We used to love to sit on their back porch and listen to them play.
It’s something bout seeing you all turn this beautiful old historic home into your owns that’s so amazing I can’t wait to see the final results it’s going to be a vibe 👏🏾
Love the pretty hammer Jenna. Also love you and Nick together! Especially love you guys taking apart and rebuilding this old home. Who knew how much I enjoyed watching you guys!🥰
watching you guys is so inspiring! Im still sitting here putting off emptying the dish washer though! Hope the roofers show up before any rain! cant wait until next week!
1:50 that roof shot looks just like whenever I look at seaweed at the beach. You could seriously take a slow-mo video of that and create amazing cinematic stock footage of the greatest untouched estuary mankind hasn’t destroyed yet and I would 100% believe you
You might look into a small sump pump to move water. You can stick a hose into a bucket, and the "exit" hose can lead outside so you don't have to haul it by hand. Could be used to take it off the roof too.
I think you are both doing an amazing job! I don't know what happened previously but where ever you found Nicky you found a good one! He's a keeper. Good luck with the rest of your renovations x
You really make it look so easy to work so much on a house. The view on the top of the house is so perfect. Maybe It’s not a good idea because of to much rain, but a roof top garden/terrasse area would be so perfect. Just sitting their with something to eat and watch the sunset. 🥰
So, does this mean we get a new roof next week?!?!? It’s cool seeing how things were built before plywood. Must have taken the carpenters so much longer.
You know plywood has been around for a long...long time? Like since 1797 with the first US patent being filed in 1865. Plywood has been used as a building material for a long time.
I don’t think they can do any more work on the roof until they redo the framing and structural supports. And before they can even do that they’ll need to remove the other half of the roof. It’s going to be a while until they get a new roof. I can’t wait to see how it looks though.
You have earned my respect. Taking an exsisting unwanted home and making it yours. I think people these days can be very wasteful. Its a beautiful home and will be spectacular once again when you are done .In a time where a lot of people want buy new. Your doing a great job
Flat roofs in the Pacific Northwest seems like a poor decision. I understand aesthetically why they made the choice, but man, maintenance should then be scheduled religiously.
@@brendasnow8255 it seems neither of the children of the original owner did anything to take care of the house, even the one in possession. it was a very grand house and the person in possession of it was unable to take care of it properly for whatever reason long before they passed. It’s a shame because a house like that should still have been a show place. I look forward to seeing Jenna bring it back to some of the old glory.
@@jnl.,where I live in England the houses around here were built between 1930s and 1960s and all have the original sloping tiled roofs. Many of the flat roofed garages ( mostly built later than the houses as an after thought) have had the roofs repaired or replaced. That said they must replace their flat roofs as they are a vital part of the design,but incorporate a small slope and keep them well maintained.
When maintained, they work extremely well in central/southern Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California. It's dry most of the year, and as long as you keep the drains clear, the torrential rains will flush harmlessly down the gutters. Especially in the PNW, trees and squirrels dropping junk down the drains alone is enough reason to never install a flat roof. One interesting way of dealing with the flat roof craze I've seen in Northern California is to have a shallow pitched or gabled roof and a decorative parapet surrounding the roof to give the illusion of flatness. You still get the issue of the drains, but at least water doesn't want to accumulate in the middle of the roof.
Wednesday means Jenna and Nick day ❤ You two are lovely to watch, and your view is amazing 👏 I know the house will be equally amazing when you are done and I'm here for it 😀
Fantastic work. Wow! I can definitely imagine the relief you guys will feel when the roof is replaced/water tight. On the bright side the views from your house are really amazing. 👍
I love watching this team. Nicky and Jenna work so well together. It's refreshing to see positives among all the negatives that are out there these days. Also nice that Drywall Dave pitches in as well. Nicky and Jenna will have a beautiful home to thoroughly enjoy together once it is completed.
You two make an amazing team. You're doing a great job on this house and Nikki is so intelligent. Please find a way to create an angle on your flat roof and have a vinyl coating added to it. That's what I did and it really made a difference. Always looking forward to your videos. 😁❤️

yes i really love their relationship dynamic meanwhile me and my husband would go into an argument just by hanging wallpapers 😅
My 2 year old has decided he wants to help. So if you want a toddler who brings immaculate vibes but very little useful manpower, let me know.
So sweet😊
I’ve got another little helper (with a mandated naptime) 😂 he bangs his toys on the tv stand when they are hammering 😂
Can he help with housework, too? Can I pay him with treats? Lol
@@PaperParade he’s better at making a house messy if you ask me 😂 he’s turning out to be a good gardener though and does love snacks!

Flat roofs are a bad idea. Full stop
The new roof should have a slight slope built in.
Totally agree, especially in the Pacific Northwest where it rains so much.
Depending on when it was built and what the code was at the time - unknown - but modern single-slope roof codes require a minimum grade, like 2:12 (two inches of pitch for every 12 inches of distance between the eave (low edge) and peak or ridge (high edge). Yours obviously had much less than that, if any - leading to the no bueno result over time.

Nikie calling jenna "love" is my favourite thing ever
omg same, is so cute 🥺
I'm so jealous of that view, but not that jealous of the amount of work you've had to put into this house so far.
Nikks butt 😂
It is like unbuilding a building.
My father always told me “anything worthwhile takes work”. When they’re “finished “, they will have a beauty!!!
I just knew that if you got a hammer, it would be PINK!!!!! Yay!!!
Its epic...🙉

For inside of house leak - Make a wide tarp ‘funnel’ with a hole in center to ‘catch’ water….. use an old tube to drain out of house thru window…
Great idea!
Victoria macenzie-childs had done the same on her channel, big flat roof and directed tarps into big bins, it does help contain it ❤
We had a damaged flat roof over our bedroom and used one of these, directed the water into our bathtub. Worked great.
I had told my wife that they could've used the long pieces of flashing as a gutter to drain the water off of the roof instead of into a bucket or trash container.
I really admire how you guys always make your work space tidy and clean. Even after hard work, you will always make sure the work area is clean n tidy. Good job guys.
I'm fascinated by this remodel, but you're breaking my heart. Can't ANY of that wood be salvaged??
9:52 Past Jenna is always leaving something for future Jenna to do. Good thing present Jenna is doing all the work.
**Items to consider before building back the roof**
1) Pre warming water for pool on the roof
2) go back with a 'Living' roof - since you already kind of had one
3) Solar Panels, a Storage bank, and selling power back to the electric company
I bet you could get some serious sponsors to help support funding of these systems with your nearly a million Subscribers

It helps that its flat
No harness. Would not be allowed here w health and safety

These videos are so satisfying. It’s all the dopamine of a job well done without lifting a finger! Thank you Jenna!!
Haha, 100% this. Love it.
I wish I was close by to salvage all that wood. It’s so expensive right now to replace and easy to repurpose.
Seriously, I'm dying over here, that's some amazing wood
They do a lot of stuff like that. That’s why I can’t watch many of their videos. I find their process upsetting.
Don't feel bad about taking it apart. I am sure anyone involved in building it is happy you guys are saving the building.
As a civil engineer from Brazil, I confess I'm loving seeing the different construction methods applied elsewhere. Particularly the roof. It's very interesting to see how flat it is!! Maybe because rainfall rates in Brazil are much higher, it's very rare to see a roof like that...
Annual rainfall in Vancouver is 146cm or around 58”.
It's also rare in North America- most roofs have a pitch to shed water in the form of snow and rain
The flat roof is more a matter of the mid century modern style popular when the home was built. Their area gets much rain. It would contribute to there being few of these houses remaining.

You should consider remaking the roof into a green roof with grass/gardens!
Loving these videos of your renovation. You both are the cutest couple. Glad your dad is okay Jenna. ❤ PS….you need a rooftop deck!
They have an amazing work ethic, great team work and a hecking adorable relationship! I love how Nick says the cutest things to her and they both just seem so genuine and nice. I love this series so much!!
I miss your crochet videos Jenna! but don't get me wrong, I don't mind this content.

Those are nice hammers! Martinez was very generous.
Tip for the roof: I noticed when you were removing it there's A LOT of moss on the roof. Moss is murder for any roof, as it'll hold moisture. Moisture = weight. While you cannot remove the roof, do this to buy time
1. Wait for a week of like, no rain in the forecast. Then take off the tarp on the one part you can't pull and remove the moss. Afterward LEAVE IT UNCOVERED. Let it dry out. Then tarp it before it rains again. This will buy you some time .
2. Put some support beams inside for the roof. They make jack like ones in home Depot too. You can do both without a permit. That water will kill your roof and that tarp isn't helping
Despite all the problems, that was a beautifully built roof!
I love how nick is so supportive of jenna and always says "its so cute" to the things jenna does. It really melts my heart how you two just are just so sweet!😍
I was waiting for the pink hammer bcs ive never seen one🤧 congratulations on your pink hammer🎉🤭
Jenna and Dave in matching outfits! So cute!
I hope you saving for reuse some of that structural hardwood. It's expensive and hard to source these days compared to when the house was built.
Regarding the trashcan water tanks... you can buy a super cheap submersible fish tank water pump (est $15) and some hose. Hook it up to power or battery pack and itll drain that 55 gallon trash can quickly. You could even wire it up to a cheap water sensor to kick on automatically.
i really have to say I'm stunned how nice you are always talking to each other... my nerves and my nice language would be GONE 🙈🤣🤣🤣
I just love the way you two talk to each other and lift each other up through shared commitment to the project and laughter and excitement the whole way through!
A couple we used to hang out with when we were first married used to have a person who played bagpipes in their neighborhood. It was in a suburb of St. Louis, MO. We used to love to sit on their back porch and listen to them play.
Bagpipe music makes me cry, and I'm not even Irish.
@@elizabetharmendariz6004 Happy tears or sad tears? Lol.
Lucky you!😻 Bagpipes are like cilantro, it’s in your DNA to either love them or hate them. I loooove them😻😻😻
There used to be an older man in my old neighborhood who would walk around the neighborhood playing the bagpipes every Sunday afternoon
I love the way yall talk to each other through such a frustrating and challenging experience.
Sooooo cute both of you together. What a team !!!!! Jenna and her hammer and Nicky and his tool belt. Invencible. 😂😂😂
So exciting watching your home get renewed!! Great videoing and editing!🥇🌟👑🩷
It’s something bout seeing you all turn this beautiful old historic home into your owns that’s so amazing I can’t wait to see the final results it’s going to be a vibe 👏🏾
Love the pretty hammer Jenna. Also love you and Nick together! Especially love you guys taking apart and rebuilding this old home. Who knew how much I enjoyed watching you guys!🥰
watching you guys is so inspiring! Im still sitting here putting off emptying the dish washer though! Hope the roofers show up before any rain! cant wait until next week!
1:50 that roof shot looks just like whenever I look at seaweed at the beach. You could seriously take a slow-mo video of that and create amazing cinematic stock footage of the greatest untouched estuary mankind hasn’t destroyed yet and I would 100% believe you
You might look into a small sump pump to move water. You can stick a hose into a bucket, and the "exit" hose can lead outside so you don't have to haul it by hand. Could be used to take it off the roof too.
I think you are both doing an amazing job! I don't know what happened previously but where ever you found Nicky you found a good one! He's a keeper. Good luck with the rest of your renovations x
1:30 I can’t explain why but I *really* love this music track that you use. Love watching this journey, thanks for including us Jenna 💚
I've heard it before in a different variation (I liked it too). Kind of reminds me of some of the Motown stuff in the 70s.
You really make it look so easy to work so much on a house. The view on the top of the house is so perfect. Maybe It’s not a good idea because of to much rain, but a roof top garden/terrasse area would be so perfect. Just sitting their with something to eat and watch the sunset. 🥰
So, does this mean we get a new roof next week?!?!?
It’s cool seeing how things were built before plywood. Must have taken the carpenters so much longer.
You know plywood has been around for a long...long time? Like since 1797 with the first US patent being filed in 1865. Plywood has been used as a building material for a long time.
I don’t think they can do any more work on the roof until they redo the framing and structural supports. And before they can even do that they’ll need to remove the other half of the roof. It’s going to be a while until they get a new roof. I can’t wait to see how it looks though.
I think they still have permit issues so it's gonna be a little while longer.
@@kirstenwaugh8473 oh yeah. Of course.
You have earned my respect. Taking an exsisting unwanted home and making it yours. I think people these days can be very wasteful. Its a beautiful home and will be spectacular once again when you are done .In a time where a lot of people want buy new. Your doing a great job
I just got food ready and needed a YT Video. perfect timing thank you
Literally same
oh my god same
me too breakfast b4 work
that view is insane.. what a dream. the pnw will always be my forever home (just a little further south from Vancouver though, in west WA)
Hi pro tip Jenna ! You must use the small V notch on the side of the Hammerhead to pull out the nails.
Just keep imagining the videos of her crocheting in the finished house.
Construction and renovation vlogs are somehow my favourite content so thank you for posting so much!
Don't throw away the chimney rocks use them to make a bbq grill or outdoor fireplace/pit!
As an person who lives in Asia houses made of wood will never cease to amaze me! Crazy how yall can just take your house apart with a hammer!!
Flat roofs in the Pacific Northwest seems like a poor decision. I understand aesthetically why they made the choice, but man, maintenance should then be scheduled religiously.
House was abandoned.
@@brendasnow8255 it seems neither of the children of the original owner did anything to take care of the house, even the one in possession. it was a very grand house and the person in possession of it was unable to take care of it properly for whatever reason long before they passed. It’s a shame because a house like that should still have been a show place.
I look forward to seeing Jenna bring it back to some of the old glory.
@@jnl.,where I live in England the houses around here were built between 1930s and 1960s and all have the original sloping tiled roofs. Many of the flat roofed garages ( mostly built later than the houses as an after thought) have had the roofs repaired or replaced. That said they must replace their flat roofs as they are a vital part of the design,but incorporate a small slope and keep them well maintained.
I blame the Californians. Flat roofs make sense there where it doesn't rain much and basically never snows.
When maintained, they work extremely well in central/southern Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California. It's dry most of the year, and as long as you keep the drains clear, the torrential rains will flush harmlessly down the gutters. Especially in the PNW, trees and squirrels dropping junk down the drains alone is enough reason to never install a flat roof.
One interesting way of dealing with the flat roof craze I've seen in Northern California is to have a shallow pitched or gabled roof and a decorative parapet surrounding the roof to give the illusion of flatness. You still get the issue of the drains, but at least water doesn't want to accumulate in the middle of the roof.
Wednesday means Jenna and Nick day ❤ You two are lovely to watch, and your view is amazing 👏 I know the house will be equally amazing when you are done and I'm here for it 😀
Your channel is a hidden gem, glad I stumbled upon it!
Fantastic work.
Wow! I can definitely imagine the relief you guys will feel when the roof is replaced/water tight. On the bright side the views from your house are really amazing. 👍
Looked up the house on google earth. It's a very lovely neighbourhood, will make a lovely home!
so did I - found it after a bit of a search.
I love watching this team. Nicky and Jenna work so well together. It's refreshing to see positives among all the negatives that are out there these days. Also nice that Drywall Dave pitches in as well. Nicky and Jenna will have a beautiful home to thoroughly enjoy together once it is completed.
Don't forget killer Kelly 😊
I look forward to sitting down and watching these videos with dinner every Wednesday, anyone else do the same? 🥰
Yes i do!
It’s my Wednesday bedtime story 😂
Yes, it has become the Wednesday night reality home improvement show,2024 of course.
I commend them for taking on such a huge project, it may take awhile but they are making strides every week.
Another great video. We look forward to every Wednesday now! Love the pink hammer.
This house is literally build on love. And respect. ❤
Roof top decking, fencing , drainage system , Astro turf (artificial grass) , table, chairs, beers/wine + view = A potential wow!
You two make an amazing team. You're doing a great job on this house and Nikki is so intelligent. Please find a way to create an angle on your flat roof and have a vinyl coating added to it. That's what I did and it really made a difference. Always looking forward to your videos. 😁❤️
I can’t wait to see the rest of this house be worked on! ❤
I'm mesmerized by how methodically everything is being done. You should both be very proud of yourselves!
Great progress.
So glad your Dad is ok.
Thanks for sharing.
Just want to say your filming and editing skills are becoming top notch. And the view from the roof ❤ stunning and breathtaking.
