I love seeing Donavan’s use of tools. I like to imagine him flipping pancakes in the morning with a speed square, maybe grab a sawzall blade to spread some butter.
Only Matt could look at clear, kiln dried, 4 quarter, milled red oak and say "I'll make stickers with it" haha. That stuff is like gold around here. It would be hoarded and made into something fancy. Cool that he has enough quality hardwood around that he sees these as being used in a disposable manner.
Wow this is a demo that I would never have a homeowner even in the house!! Most people just don't understand and they get scared as hell!!! As long as you know what you're doing it all works out but they don't understand it!! PS I really love that little hand nailer I've used one one time a about half that size look more like a Dremel..for doing aluminum fascia and soffits!!
Does Donavan have a home to go to, or does he just appears from out of the cornfields? Got to give this guy his props on his construction skills and the patience that he shows working with Matt?
So much quicker to tear stuff down, plus some pleasure in ripping things apart in a purposeful way. The house will be a great place for your future and the family. Progress, improvement, love it. Thanks for bringing us along.
These pieces were rather small but the smash in a section to get a grip and carefully shake it can net you really big pieces since the screws just let go.
When I saw your new upload, I called out to the Mrs., "Matt Cremona has uploaded!" My 6 year old then said, "Macarona? Can I have some too?" She loves mac & cheese! Remodels are so much fun.👍👍
No gloves. The Donovan Way is beast mode. I came to learn how I could save my staircase and re-use it, and I stayed because he recip-sawed and pry-barred all of it.
Very much enjoying this renovation series.... Donovan is both skilled at his craft and has an interesting personality and calm demeanor....Hmmm...Sorta like Norm A?
Love that Festool circular saw & guide rail setup. That saves a heap of time cutting your timber to size. Agree with the comments about Donovan - you're getting your moneys worth with him on the tools.
Everything is looking great Matthew. With small kids walking around, safety comes first and you seem to have that on top of the list. I really enjoy watching the progress of "Casa Cremona'' lol
I really enjoyed this video! It takes me back to my younger days. Your house is going to be nicer with these changes. Good luck with the project and happy new year!
I’m interested to see how you are doing your HVAC. When we did our extensive renovation, 2015-2017, we ditched 20-30 cast-iron and baseboard radiators, added a third air conditioner, disabled the heat pump functions on the existing A/C units, and the emergency heat on all three. We then installed a radiator in each air handler with separate solenoids for each circuit and fed them from a natural gas furnace that was only a couple of years old. Presto chango our radiator heat became forced air. We also added a humidifier to one of the air handlers since the dry winter air is bad for the antique furniture and the artwork.
Love watching your progress on this de- & re-construction. That damaged gas line had me cringing the whole way through the video, expecting one of you to say you smelled gas 😬
Wow. At the 6 minute mark I’m saying, “Wow, why are you bothering with the recip saw?” Get yourself a Gransfors Renovators Bar! You’ll never regret it!
Damn :) Just keep them coming. Videos like these are great entertainment. Not really sure of why building and renovation are fascinating and it doesn't really matter. I'll watch them anyway ;)
How about an equipment list please. I am most interested in the model number of the reciprocating saw. The tools are so much nicer since my addition back in 2004.
Another great video presentation in your rebuilding process. Thanks for sharing your journey. Love the alternative uses for the speed square. Wishing you and your family a blessed new year. Greetings from NE Ohio. Cheers
I LOVE work. I could watch it all day! How's the home life coming along Matthew? Have you kept in touch with the previous home owners? If so, I bet they are squirming.
Great channel Matt. As a suggestion, I'm curious what some of the terminology means, where it comes from, etc. For instance quarters and cants. I can google the terms but the etymology is difficult to find.
I love seeing Donavan’s use of tools. I like to imagine him flipping pancakes in the morning with a speed square, maybe grab a sawzall blade to spread some butter.
I think we’re going to have to do a cooking show
Sorry guy, only bologna for every visitor.
🤣😂🤣😂
@@MrShekoexile Nothing wrong with bologna. Thick slabs fried with onions on fresh home made bread.
except no dust mask. itsz why remod guys die at 60
This series is so much fun to watch. I legitimately look forward to it every week. Also, Donovan should become a regular going forward…he’s hilarious!
What a great series. A professional woodworker learning how to become a carpenter. I love every minute!
One day at a time 😄
@@mcremona One STEP at a time!!
Much respect to Donovan for his deconstruction as opposed to destruction.
Only Matt could look at clear, kiln dried, 4 quarter, milled red oak and say "I'll make stickers with it" haha. That stuff is like gold around here. It would be hoarded and made into something fancy.

Donavan is always ready with quick funny banter. With his construction skills he could do his own show.
@Johannes Fiftyeight certainly helps!
Good job of being the swamper Matt. You were amazing on the vacuum. Keeping things clean during a demo is a big deal in my books, good work.

I bet that once this series is done Donovan will have more work than he will ever want. Such an interesting project. Your wife gives good camera!
Gotta respect a man with a Bridgeport in his basement !
I kept yelling razor knife when he just was ripping out the Sheetrock! Lol! Well he got the job done! Looks great so far 👍🏻
Missed a primo "Here's Johnny!" moment. 11:30
Does Donavan have a home to go to, or does he just appears from out of the cornfields? Got to give this guy his props on his construction skills and the patience that he shows working with Matt?
Well, there is an RV parked right outside Matt's house, he might never leave. But that could also be Matt's.
🤣🤣🤣
That's Donavan's office lol he has an hour commute

It is always satisfying when a bigger piece of drywall comes off. A bull in a china shop approach might seem good but more finesse makes it easier.
These pieces were rather small but the smash in a section to get a grip and carefully shake it can net you really big pieces since the screws just let go.
That house was built food so sturdy,, these days they just throw them together,, good job
When he was busting through the drywall from the other side, I was expecting a "here's Donny" moment...
When I saw your new upload, I called out to the Mrs., "Matt Cremona has uploaded!" My 6 year old then said, "Macarona? Can I have some too?" She loves mac & cheese!
Remodels are so much fun.👍👍
hahaha that's awesome!

What a Mickey Mouse stair! Paralam sawcut stringers! outrageous!
I love watching demolition and renovation work when it's done by a pro.
You are smart to have a professional to get this work done efficiently, love it! Thank you.

Loving the videos. Donovan is a master and you're not too bad either. Can't wait for more.
Nice progress Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
I keep hearing Jonathan Scott say "Routing new ducting $$$$"
Love this. Reminds me of watching TOH with my dad.
You should make something nice for Donavan using wood that has been removed from the house. That would be a nice gift and a great video.
Man the amount of money I'd pay to have someone clean up as I demo.... I bet Donovan is loving that.
you guys work hard that's for sure
I really enjoyed this video! It takes me back to my younger days. Your house is going to be nicer with these changes. Good luck with the project and happy new year!
Looking forward to the next video.keep of the great work.Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍

Amazing design and amazing work.

We’re a bit lucky with the placement and routing of the current systems. We’ll be able to stub onto the existing ductwork and infloor radiant lines
@@mcremona The one time I lived with radiant floors, I loved it.
I'm enjoying watching the remodel Matt.
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. Mr. John sures knows his stuff .
The stair stringers look like some kind of glu-lam instead of a 2 by 12 piece of timber.
Yes, some osb type product
Donovan channeling his best Jack Nicholson (The Shining) impression smashing the plasterboard (drywall) from beneath the stairs !
Hats off to Donovan's Demolition LLC!
Matt, cleaning up the ground-in drywall dust is the pits!
Agreed
Love the F Scott Fitz saying on the wall. Happy New Year Matt and family. The renovation is super cool.
Thanks Jay; you too!
Thank you!
Here’s Johnny. Missed opportunity
Love watching your progress on this de- & re-construction. That damaged gas line had me cringing the whole way through the video, expecting one of you to say you smelled gas 😬
We shut the valve but that line will need to be replaced anyways. Too short to reroute
It is amazing how much space a staircase takes up. That is a fact. Thanks for sharing! Excellent video.
I would like to see Donovan demolish the rest of Matt's home. Do it for the content!
Lots of demo to come
Every video gets more interesting and fun to watch.
Nice dust mask.
Seriously brings back memories of my much younger years.. And yes, staircases take a lot of room...
ITs Not gonna become boring... 😉 Thanks for the Video 👍🏻
Donovan may have to offer Matt an apprenticeship. 3 years from now he'd be a journeymen carpenter. 🙂
Nice work Guys Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP
Thank you for sharing
What I got from this episode was that it seems it is harder to disassemble than assemble.
Wow. At the 6 minute mark I’m saying, “Wow, why are you bothering with the recip saw?” Get yourself a Gransfors Renovators Bar! You’ll never regret it!
Oh there was a lot of demolition but it will be so when building new in the house. It will be fine when it is finished
Thanks for sharing with us Matt. Stay safe around there. Fred.
Donavan's next hits song "I fought the wall, and the wall lost"
Something about doing demo that I can’t stop watching…
That's understandable. I really enjoy your channel!
Fantastic progress Matt. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Great video interesting to watch.
"Do you care about this railing?"
Not really
"Ok"
BRRRRRRTTTTTTT
Great progress Matt, you guys must be so excited!
Thanks Jeff!!
Donavan and Matt y'all are just to dam funny but at least the work gets done and looking great.
looking good
Great job as usual Matt, looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing.
Is an amazing progress that you guys have done I'm impressed job well done
Thanks!
I like what I see and the speed it's getting done !! Keep up the good work !!
This is a great series. Watching your channel regularly now!
Looking good.
Damn :) Just keep them coming. Videos like these are great entertainment. Not really sure of why building and renovation are fascinating and it doesn't really matter. I'll watch them anyway ;)
Donavan: Just don't get in his way!
looks fun
Show us more!! Haha.. I try not to look on Instagram so I don't see real time progress and wait for the videos.
Yard is lookin' nice!
Donovan is a home wrecker. Who'd a thunk!
great progress

Thanks; you too!
Hope you have some more stairs to get upstairs.
LoL
There are front stairs too!
DUH
I LOVE work. I could watch it all day!
How's the home life coming along Matthew?
Have you kept in touch with the previous home owners? If so, I bet they are squirming.
Not often can previous owners watch as their design is redone.
Who cares about the previous home owners ? Really !!
Love these build videos & the banter is funny as hell.
Progress! Looking good Matt!
Thanks!
Deconstructed assembly
I think Donovan’s favorite thing is…demo!
great job
So exciting. It is going to look terrific
The scraper square makes another appearance. I will get a square to scrape ice off my windshield. lol
Happy New Year mate from Taiwan. Looking forward to following the progress.
Thanks!
Its going to be a really nice work area.
Ccool
31:15, is Donavan a cameraman also...
Sometimes but not that time. That’s brad
Well done, you guys. I've seen a lot of construction.
Great channel Matt. As a suggestion, I'm curious what some of the terminology means, where it comes from, etc. For instance quarters and cants. I can google the terms but the etymology is difficult to find.
Thanks for uploading new video i am your new subscriber🇵🇰
Another great video Matt .
That was pretty railing.
😂
Looking class.
It looks pretty good man you guys are doing really good of a job on that I like to see more so keep it keep me interested
Thanks!
