    We just purchased a lake home in Wisconsin with almost same floor plan (1973) and same wallpaper. I’m guessing the same builder. Thanks for sharing your progress.

    Nice spot y’all…. However, I do miss your RV’n videos. Can you tell I’m from the south! Lol. Good thing you have that basement apartment so you have a place to stay while renovating the upstairs. I just renovated 8 properties in 4 years so my suggestion would be to gut the upstairs to the studs. I promise you’ll be happy you started with a clean slate! It makes the whole process (wall configurations, better insulation, wiring, plumbing changes, etc) much easier. Good luck and happy holidays!!

    Definitely put more windows looking out to the lake

    That house will probably be worth a small fortune once renovations are done. A great long term investment.

    6:52 - use the < > keys to advance / reverse one frame at a time... a shadow the size of a small cat moves across the tile floor at the edge of the hallway...

    If you are going to patch the damage to the walls... if drywall is damaged to the brown paper or deeper - you need to use a sealer on those areas - 3 to 4 coats before you patch or paint... or those areas will bubble once paint is applied.

    Thanks for Sharing! I used to Live next to a Lake Near Ely, Minnesota a Few Years Back, Great Experience, Beautiful Country! 👍😃

      Thanks for watching! Ely (and far northern MN in general) is one of the most beautiful places! We’re farther south but still feel lucky to have a little spot on a lake

    Love the potential of your new home! I know you will do wonders with it, and I can't wait. Lovely to have the lake, such a huge plus.

    Most people just see a lot of work, which it will be, but waterfront property will always be in demand and after you guys get done with it, it'll make a nice home base when you guys start getting back into the RV scene. Really looking forward to what you guys will do with your new house!!

    • @WorkinfortheWild
      @WorkinfortheWild  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks so much! I felt if we were going to invest in property in the current market, it needed to be on water. I didn’t mention this in the video but we’re hoping to have a designated RV spot in the driveway!

    What a beautiful choice in both house and location! Looking forward to watching you transform it to your style. Great ideas. (Loving that shirt btw!)

    Subscribed because of the trailer renovation and the RV traveling. That is gone now. Wish you all the best. Bye.

    Love it, so much potential (and work). Do you need flood insurance cuz of the lake?

    • @WorkinfortheWild
      @WorkinfortheWild  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you! Yes, definitely a lot of work! No, we don’t need flood insurance actually. There’s almost no risk of the lake rising to a level that would ever come close to the house.
