In episode 14 I solve a huge problem, the collapsing living room floor due to an improperly framed staircase opening. It was a mess and still is not perfect but more than adequate for the situation and a lot better than the original. I also address some plumbing and electric including installing an expansion tank, pressure test the lines and wire in for lights, switches and outlets in the basement. I'm hoping to wrap this renovation up soon which means nose to the grind stone. Keep an eye out for more!

Hi,
I am not surprised you are tired of renovating houses; your determination to thoroughly renovate, as opposed to superficially paint over the cracks, rundown properties means that your renovation projects inevitably take longer.
You should be congratulated for this same determination.
Keep up the good work!
0:42 At 1st I thought you destroyed that door cause you were pissed at not being able to break that giant concrete block lol
Same here lol
Me too! Lol
Same. I thought he was trying to make room to get a better swing on that big block haha. Speaking of, I wonder what his plan is for that? Seems to be pretty stout.
I actually burst out laughing I thought the same thing
@@truthsmiles Jackhammer will work wonders on that concrete slab.
27:48 "I don't want people watching hours of me working on a house" he says as I catch up on all his videos in two days time. :)
No kidding. Stumbled on channel two days ago. Binge watching ever since. In between dong our own rental Reno!
"I got alittle scratch on my finger ---- Hit it with an AXE"
Do u mean axe?
@@MrZimmaframe lol yeah, sorry! :D
lol i got a axe scar on the same finger
"Tis only a flesh wound"
Sam Difabio ‘tis but a scratch
"Working on houses is not my passion"
Could've fooled me. You put a lot of care in what you do and I really enjoy watching.
country boy, it's just a wee scratch
LOL
Exactly. I was just about to comment about how I wish I had his drive. Though I'll never get it, it's still inspiring.
Rub some dirt on it like me.
Exactly what I thought when he say that. He is really hardworking I admire that a lot!
I'm closing on a $11,000 rental house this week, thanks to your inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Good luck im going to start myself soon my first house im going smaller the better
Atta boyyyyyy
I bought a duplex in Colorado, $150000 dollars, very cheap, a complete fixer upper.
I laughed when you jacked the floor/ceiling up and the temporary pole you placed fell down. I expected something would fall but your face was priceless.
I like your videos every two weeks and think that your idea to put house related projects on here is great. I like seeing the transformation of these houses and all the different ways you can save money by DIY.
If it was me and the beams came down I would've filled my depends. :)
I second this methodology ... He has another channel to rant about investing in properties etc. This style gives us goals and ends. It would be nice to see more of his transitional renderings of buildings. He's no Norm Abrams with 25 people working a site using 7 figures to remodel... And I prefer this for real people.
Pls take care of the injury. A friend of a friend cut his finger while working at the bike shop, ignored it, had sepsis going on and lost a phalange or two!
Great videos! Thanks for the inspiration. God bless you!
Yes!!! I'm a medical social worker and this comment is on point!
As a pharmacy student, this is definitely a case where i’d tell someone to get it checked by a doctor
10 days of Keflex and a tetanus shot!
(not a med, but I had an infected cut with red streaks; went to urgent care).
He's an intelligent, seemly healthy adult; he's capable of caring for an injury. His body, his choice.
Yeah sepsis is not something to be taken lightly.. hopefully he seeks medical attention and get some dressing done asap
I've never seen anyone go into a 'zone' like you do. You move from trade to trade, have 60 things going at once, know what you have to do next, and keep the work continually in progress, and it all gets done. Incredible. You were born to do this.
I follow these videos like a good novel.
For the "In between reno's question" I vote for DIY type projects. Like, how to build a work bench. How to build a shed. How to organize your tools...ect. Just basic stuff everyone does (or should do), but from your perspective. Anyways..just a thought. Great stuff you got here!
Banquette too!
Any type of repairs are always interesting to watch. Repair your truck, build a trailer or something like that.
Can we just appreciate this guy's voice? He'd be so good as an audible narrator or something...
Would love to see mini-videos of "Here's how I learned/taught myself home wiring..." or "Here's how I learned to navigate permits/inspections..." -- I'm in the middle of renovating a house that we just bought (our first investment), and have been trying to teach myself a bunch, but have hit some snags -- would love to get some insight into how you learned (and *are* learning*) what you know.
Also -- pretty dang cool you get to work on this with your dad!
He has mentioned many times throughout the years that watching people do it and just doing it is how he learned.
Alan would help guide you a bit I have few rentals and had growing pains . Shoot me message here I'll do my best to guide you through it
Was going to comment the same. If we had to wait in between house reno vids, then maybe it would be a good idea to fill it with more detailed (and organized!) videos on how-to do some of the things he does. I know he's talked about some things before in other videos, but a series focused on that stuff would help future-diyers and also help tide us over for the next reno
Tripping bro. We DO want to watch hours and hours of video of you working on houses. Keep up the good work man.
Up, watch all the hours. Those of us who can’t do like watching
Always a pleasure to see a new post. Beginning at 0:40 smacking the living bejeezus out of the concrete pillar and then, "Naw, I'm gonna take out that closet." You have chosen wisely.
Michael Roberson loved that too.
Keep doing what your doing man, I’m in college and am trying to purchase distressed homes and put in my own sweat equity to rent them out. Your videos give me the extra boost of confidence I need.
For supplementary videos, I’d love to see vids about building nice looking furniture that anyone can build.
You should build a cornerstep on the last two basementsteps, makes entering with baskets and so easier.
You got to take care of your hands. They're your best tools and you can't just buy a new set, or poor vinegar on them when they get poop on them.
Point is you keep them working longer if you take care of them.
Why I was watching you I told my son this guy is smart. I wish I had your skills
I’m really looking forward to seeing you work on your family’s land with the workshop/tiny house/etc.
Agree!
I have been seriously involved in renovating 4 old houses so I know what it takes - the pain and the satisfaction and the joy in turning a broken mess into a beautiful home. I also enjoy watching other people's projects, large and small. I think you are onto a good way to use your skills and progress to a point where you can have an income and enjoy life.
Good idea to use old timber; I would pay double for them compare to the craps on the market today, nail holes and all.
Two weeks is a good interval. There are other channels that I watch-they post every month and the waiting makes me more anxious to watch their videos, funnily enough. But two weeks works for this channel because of the steady, relaxed tone of the content.
I love your videos and help me as a single woman to do home repairs in her own home so thank you so much
Glad to see you respond to all the "you should wear gloves!" comments with the finger condom. Safety first.
lol. Finger cot. Loved that.
Don’t underestimate the value of posting videos regularly. I just binge watched a channel with over 100 videos. Took me a month.
Awesome choice of music. As always.
Who is the music artist?
"I don't think anyone wants to watch hours of me" *Me binge watching for the last 2 days 👀*
For owner home renovation, there is no better inspiration than watching your video! Too many home renovaton videos make everything look so easy, but leaving out all the gritty hard work involved
I would love to see the process of you buying a house...what your thoughts are in the moment. It could be something that you film and not post until it was a done deal...but it would be fun to see.
Separate from houses, it would be great to see you learning/trying a new skill or project. I think you are just a regular, normal guy...posting video about projects...that’s relatable, people will watch whatever you post!
His book actually explains a lot of his process and thoughts, along with his other channel. I'd definitely check them both out!
Would like to see what happened to the house if anything when you raised it to level those 3”
I did that to a house. Basically drywall cracks at the corners of doorways and larger horizontal spans, always where they intersect a vertical span of wall. It's annoying but they are easily fixed with the added bonus of having a level floor at the end of the job.
Me too!
I’ve done it as well, though mine was only about an inch. Drywall still cracks. I’ve heard if you do it really slowly over the course of a couple of day that it might minimize the damage. I just went for it and repaired any damage.
Hate to tell you but I found this channel this morning and I'm binge watching... This is the 15th video today 😂 You know why? Because these types of renovations are relatable to REAL people that work full-time jobs and can't drop hundreds of thousands on purchasing and fixing a rental or flip. I personally LOVE this channel and you are my FAVORITE renovator! Where I live all the houses were built in the 1800's, mine included. Thank you for posting these and I hope you continue!! (I know, I'm selfish 🤣🤷🏼♀️)
Love what you do with the houses and enjoy when you rant about how you plan when getting a renovation started and the ideas behind it. Please keep up with the 2 week interval release :)
Yes to every two weeks and DIY projects or something else. It's always worth trying. Your viewers will support you. Yes the renovation projects are interesting, but so are you. People are watching because you're interesting to watch.
this makes my ongoing home renovations much easier to do seeing you suffer through all this rot and old construction.... you are a trooper!
Speaking of people who sit down and watch hours of your videos at a time....Hello! That's me! =D I am learning so much, plus your filler music is very pleasant listening. I have binged 14 videos in 3 days....and counting! You and a farmer are my two faves right now. Better than anything on TV.
I'd definitely be interested in what simple and good looking furniture you would be able to show us how to make. I appreciate the content you've given your audience and you've given me more confidence to do my own projects around my home.
I was waiting patiently for the new video. Just a reminder - joist hanger nails are far stronger in sheer strength than screws (especially required on the hanger to beam joint). Around here, inspectors make you unscrew them and replace with nails. The other thing that caught my eye is that you removed an old rotten 4x4 because it was on the ground but did the same thing bracing the top of your stair stringer. Put a piece of plastic underneath it and it will add years of life.
Always a good day when your vids come out!
I agree. I feel like I'm right there with him....oh wait, my house is like that..I am there!!! Love these videos.
I'm sure that I speak for a lot of people when I say that I'd enjoy watching a weekly hour long video. maybe 30-50+ minutes a week! Whatever you choose, we'll be here for you! Also, DIY builds could actually benefit your channel too! :)
Great to see your video. Always give me motivation on our never ending project. Great work as usual!! And congrats on 300k !! 👍👍
Yea I think I can speak for everyone when I say yea we like the 2 week wait or longer for a video we like I know I do the anticipation. I look forward to it and can't wait to get the notification. Besides it takes pressure off of you to worry about posting videos so often. Anyway yes would love in between to see the furniture you make. Enjoy your videos would love to see more.
I watch for 2 reasons definitely...
1* I like DIY. Especially when someone has the ability to teach and is willing to display skill.
2*I like your voice. Reminds of my favorite boss ever. Coincidentally he had a dual Masters. Economy and Marketing.
Spent his days working on numbers and his afternoons merchandising convenience stores.
See ya in a couple weeks!☮
Just so you know. I saw a video for this series recently. I went and looked up the first one and started with the first video. A go, work outside in the yard or garden, come in, and watch a video for a break. I have a heart issue so I have to break often and early. So, at least as far as I, I am watching all the videos.
Many people can relate to working hard despite not loving the task! Good commentary, and I’m glad you enjoy other parts of life!
Back in 1987 we had to do the exact same thing with the stairs in the house we were flipping. My dad said he was coming over with a ten ton jack and my husband an I were expecting him to walk in with a massive piece of machinery (what did we know haha.)
I really enjoy the renovation series and I enjoy watching you demolish things and cleaning things up (there is a huge following for cleaning video).
I think you might be leaving too much stuff out. You probably could have split this video in two and then have something ready to put up next week. I really enjoy a weekly video because I make it my reward to watch on Thursdays after I have completed some unpleasant task or another. Don't think you need to speed ahead so you are up to date with posting what you are doing. I really enjoy comparison shots of what it looks like when you start and finish. I think if you are posting once every two weeks I might find something else to watch that is more regular. (Hmmm, that didn't mean to sound like a threat). Anyhow, this is just my two cents worth, all the best!
Looks dangerous! Good you have a lot of experience. Take care and rest in between.
I think it would be cool to see you tackling a tiny house project, something you do from zero and see how it turns out.
Honestly I find everything you do fascinating because you are so thorough and put so much care into everything you do. I am a single mom with zero interest in renovation but I really enjoy seeing you transform these properties and projects. I always look forward to your videos regardless of how long you needed to make them. I am happy to patiently wait. However, just an idea here, if you do take longer periods of time between vids (like 2+ weeks) it would be awesome if you added in a quick recap from where you left off at the beginning. Nothing fancy, even if it's just you giving a quick voiceover it would really help to jog our memories a bit. I really appreciate the quality content and I hope things are smooth sailing for you and your future plans!
I think your ideas sound great between house renovations! Repairs, small projects, DIYs, bathroom or kitchen re-do’s, even furniture, entertainment centers, landscaping, patios, fire pits, a “tiny”house, pole buildings, sheds, cabins...the sky’s the limit! Whatever you decide, I’ll be watching!!! Thanks👍(have the finger checked out)
I may not be the typical viewer but I was about 2 1/2 months behind and have watched every minute of your videos because you are that interesting with the work you do.
Hey man, as an avid viewer of yours who religiously looks forward to your uploads I just want to take the time to thank you for your content , hard work and dedication to your loyal subscribers. I have learned a lot from your channel and your videos motivate me to find cheaper properties fix them up and rent them out. The greedy me would hope you keep doing renovations especially on lower end houses but if it’s not your passion I would say post whatever you feel your viewers can get value from wether that’s making furniture, small projects even financial information everything will be appreciated by your viewers. Also maybe consider making a patreon, I’m certain people will definitely support you further. Keep up the great content and will be patiently waiting for your next up load
Your ability to source out homes to purchase is not your strongest ability. It is your strong work ethic and your knowledge of the construction industry
OMG! It's video 14 and FINALLY someone is there helping you!
There’s so much value in watching how you renovate houses for us watching. Keep doing it! :)
thanks for the upload. workshop, DIY, Houses, I think we'll watch whatever you're doing.
I love the idea of building simple furniture or useful things for a house! Other than an classic table, maybe a kitchen island, shelving in a closet, bathroom cabinet... many things a newbie homeowner would like to try and make themselves.
Every other week would be fine with me, love your content and really anything you do as “filler” type videos is fine, the simple diy furniture is a good idea. I really do love the renovation videos though as they provide inspiration/motivation. Keep it up! You’re awesome!
I don’t care what you do with the channel. I’m here for you, not just a certain set of content
That piano piece in the middle of this video was so good.
Watching you is reliving my youth -- all the projects my father and then hubby did over the years, only thing missing is all the foul language sprinkled in when things don't go exactly as planned aka the concrete pillar. 🤬⚒ Oh yeah, and me cleaning the construction site -- not really missing that part. LOL!
Bahaha. I was thinking the same thing (about the sprinkling)!
Love the idea of diy projects anyone can do.. So I can show my husband lol... Make sure you share projects you are passionate about so you don't get bored!
I told a friend once his was has cracks in the walls. He needed to jack up the house. Make it even on all sides. He laughed at me said I Was crazy. My Mom Dad had a house built in the 1930s they jacked up the house made it even. Never had no problms. No cracks etc. Or it could be a tree root cracking the foundation. He said I was crazy on that idea as well. All I can say wish my friend house won't be destroyed. Love your videos. Looking forward to your next one. Big THANKS SHARING THEM. ALSO HAVE A GREAT DAY AS WELL
I am not a greedy watcher. Keep doing what you enjoy don't let your viewers decide what you post. With that being said as a viewer I do like having an update on your progress.
Loved the "electrician's hammer " setting the outlet box grommets, lol.
A huge yes to videos on smaller projects. I live in a small apartment in London UK so whilst I enjoy watching your work it's difficult to do much large scale DIY myself, so basic furniture projects would be great and mean I can apply some of the stuff I pick up from watching.
Hey man, just wanted to respond to your question about what video content you might be able to do "between houses." First off, I recently discovered this channel and have been loving it, and learning a ton, so thank you for what you have done. You have given many of us exposure to parts of the renovation/construction process that we just never get to see first hand, and that is truly impactful from a learning perspective.
One thing you may consider doing between houses is just talking very conceptually, very high level, even sitting down at your kitchen table with a pad and paper, and explaining some of the fundamental concepts and understanding of different topics that you clearly have, that we may be missing as viewers.
Think about it like this.... we can all easily watch you do these projects on your houses and once you get going on something (ripping out a floor, running new pex lines, running electrical, sistering up some joists for added support), and think "cool, I could do that!" But I think where many people would struggle in their own projects is not on the actual task, but KNOWING and confidently deciding when to do what. Like how did you know that staircase needed to be reconfigured and how it needed to be properly supported so the house didn't collapse on you? How do you know when looking at the old electrical or plumbing that it truly needed to be upgraded? How do you properly diagnose a water issue and what might be causing it? The only way you know is to have a thorough conceptual understanding of these topics.
So again, I would propose you, sitting at your kitchen table with a pad and paper talking about various topics at a high level. One example: "The Basics of Home Electrical and Wiring," where you discuss everything you know and have learned about electric from your experience, from where it comes from at the power plant, to how you get it turned on with the city, to the overall system flow, to things to keep in mind to wiring up a panel, to how you decide what to put on which circuits, to why some things are 110v and others are 220v, to the most important points of electrical code in your area, to even showing examples of different common electrical components you have lying around and talking about them (an extra breaker, light switch, outlet, gang box, or empty panel).
And then the same style of video for plumbing, framing, roofing, HVAC, insulating, finishing, etc. Not that you have to be a master of every detail and know every single thing about each area, but just sharing from your personal experience the most important things to know about these topics. This will help us make our own decisions on our own projects in terms of us thinking, "ok, THIS is the most important thing to do on this project. These three things are actually ok for now, but these other two things must be updated to make sure this home will be safe and functional for the maximum amount of time."
You have an inspiring amount of knowledge, and I think a series like that would be a great way to share it. And hey, on the bright side, it'll be a lot less manual labor! Thanks for considering different ways to share your knowledge with us.
I may be a crazy person but I'd watch a video every day if you posted that often. Great job. Love the channel!
A large portion of people, I'd bet" bing your series. Personally i tend to watch 3 or 4 episodes while doing chores. Gives me ideas and tid bits on info for renos I have planned while getting the dishes and dinner done.
Really enjoy your videos. Every 2 weeks is better. I watch channels that add content daily and I rarely backtrack and binge all that content.
I am watching this series of house renovations rather late but I am loving them all. I have been working on a rental that I bought several years ago and it is going slow but then I am a woman 72 years old and working alone, but hey, I love to see the improvements that can be made and I totally love your videos and learn a lot from them--thank you for sharing all your thoughts and work!!! Take care of that finger!!!
just wanted to interject before I watch the rest of this content. Thank you for doing these. We remember and are very aware that it is extremely difficult to edit these AND do your "family man" responsibilities. So again INFINITY THANK YOUS+APPRECIATIONS!
How did the lift effect upper stairs, drywalls and roof? always enjoy your videos! Love from Sweden and keep up the good work!!!
Watching that jack push the ceiling/floor up was oddly refreshing. Reminded me of going to a chiropractor to get all aligned up and straightened out. Enjoying your videos!
I'd love to see a video with you detailing what sort of code research and compliance you go through for these remodels. Watching some of these videos, I keep wondering what permits you are getting and what the building departments are requiring as far as bringing things up to code. It seems like with as much structural work as you have had to do in the basement and around those stairs, that you'd need to bring those areas up to current code, which those stairs definitely are not.
So glad you told us that you do have fun in your life. I actually thought you were a workaholic.
The joust and the new joist look so much more secure with all the brakes and tied in to the foundation!
YEEESSS!! You're back!! WOW what a mess!! I don't see how you don't get overwhelmed?
I edit that out.
Homemade Home the power of editing!!! No way to really show what it is like anyway.
I love your home renovation videos, whenever I can enjoy them and learn so much from them.
I like watching your house renovation videos, keep them posted every week. Furniture making in between renovation videos sounds good.
Well, the channel is called Homemade Home, so I think there is a TON of lateral directions you could go. I enjoy watching the renovations, but I would LOVE to see more DIY-type projects that can make my home more "home made". I love the idea of simple furniture.
I love watching you every week, but I get doing it every 2 weeks if that suits you better. I LOVE the idea of making diy furniture. I've made a few bookshelves and tables. Would love to see other ideas.
You can do anything you want with the channel, anything you present will be you...and I will be watching! I love watching your videos. I've learned so much and even ran a new electrical line, in conduit to a dark area of a storage unit I had, from watching your videos. And it worked! Keep up the good work and don't stress.
Good video. You look like a typical DIYer using what you have available while working in less than ideal conditions but making it work.
It is so funny to see you go from “that’s a little quirky, but it’s a rental” to that isn’t right and my OCD won’t let me leave it that way”. It’s like watching myself, except you have all the tools to do it quick.
remember when you said you'd only be doing a "smal renovation" haha.
Love to watch all you do! You are such an inspiration. Peace and Good Fortune to you and your family.
First off .... YOU POST AS MANY VIDEOS FOR HOWEVER LONG YOU WANT SIR🗣🗣🗣 whoever doesn’t like it doesn’t have to watch. I’m learning from you so you can make them however long you want. I have no life lol I admire you sir
Releasing videos every 2 weeks is much better, as a viewer. Content wise, everything you've posted has been interesting. A mixture of interests and videos would definitely get a watch from this viewer. Keep up the great work and be careful!
For a moment I thought I was watching "Back To The Future: McFly's Home Renovation" ! :-P
Thanks for bringing us along as you stabilized that staircase. I was a little nervous when you were working under the staircase. You are braver and far more skilled than I.
I appreciated your comments about the cost of a house 'in your area' at the end of the video. Well said.
You have almost 300,000 subs. I think you can say people enjoy watching your videos.
i love seeing your progress with this house, n your happy personality always makes my day so keep doin what you’re doin bro
A 20 - 30 minute video every two weeks seems like an appropriate amount of uploads for renovation projects, with a couple of weeks/months between projects. Love your videos, keep up the good work and don't renovate yourself to a early youtube death. ;)
Really enjoying your series ,anything you decide to film will be watched .
I do find myself checking every day if you have posted content. Keep em coming!
I like the diy projects idea for in betweens. Also i like the every two week thing. Like you said, it gives time to catch up. I can't always find time to watch im one sit down. Love your work!
I love this stuff and have been waiting rather impatiently to be honest for the next installment.
Great video, thanks for bringing us along for the ride! 🌝
