The quality of the original framing of the house is shocking in places! 😳 Bless you, Matthew... that is SUCH HARD WORK you are doing.
Right?! Most of it is good, but some is outrageous!!
WOW, I'm so impressed, amazing
Thanks! Glad youre enjoying it!
Good idea to change the locks
Wow, amazing 👍👍👍
You certainly hit the ground running returning from England and buying a house for full renovation. This is the stage where the house looks even worse than when you first saw it. It's very interesting for me to see this American house being gutted, we can see how it was constructed and the materials, I'm not used to seeing a house built entirely from timber, I haven't seen a single brick, I hope insulation is put into the external walls, the heat loss must have been large.
Yeah, for sure. The difference in construction is actually quite striking. I was surprised when I was in the UK.
We do have 2 brick chimneys, and the basement is made from cinder blocks - but nearly everything else is wood.
We will certainly be insulating, both the exterior walls and many of the interior walls as well!
Great video Matthew 👍👍
Thank you!
American houses built in that fashion look so flimsy... almost like a shed! When I visited my sister, who lives in USA, I was shocked at the feeling of impermanence about the house.
Hope you don't find any more nightmare 'fixed-til-it's-broke' scenarios. Good luck from us in the UK.
They do look flimsy, even to Americans. It is amazing how much weight wee little 2x4s can hold up though!
Knock the plaster off first, it makes it easier to clean up. Also the lave makes great kinderlin.
That is true if it is just plaster - it was really hard to do that with 1-2 layers of drywall on top....then bashing it all in seemed best. 🤷♂️
Wow, you have taken on a job and a half.
Hope it all goes well, I shall be watching with interest.
It is quite a job! Thanks for watching!
Getting the house back to bare bones, do you find it more intimidating with the sheer volume of work to do or fully expected? What's the time frame to getting the various sections completed? Are properties in the street similar in style or vastly different? Would be interested to see what's up and down your street; vastly different from Central Avenue I'm sure!
Good idea to strip it back and do it properly, you don't want a nice refurbished house that you suspect might be built on sand.
V true! It is always better to do it right the first time!
I love seeing your demo! I’m hoping to be able to remove two walls from our house we are remodeling, BEFORE we leave for England in 10 days! But our permit application is being delayed by the city. Did you have to pull permits for the work on your building?
We don't have to permit to do demo, but we need permits for all the work we are doing (mechanical and if we want to change the layout).
Good luck with your permits, hope it goes well!
Schaefer Family Adventure good luck with yours as well!!!
Good luck with the eviction! 🦝 🦝
Stinking raccoons!
I actually haven't seen them again, so we may be in luck. 🤞
Schaefer Family Adventure hopefully they moved on to another home that’s not being torn up😂
Sorry the roof needs to come down!
With the age of your house did you check for asbestos? It could be in some of the oldest plaster, added to some adhesives or just used as fire protection.
Yes, lots of potential asbestos. We had a preliminary check, but it's hard to tell for sure. You'll notice I had a mask on nearly the whole time for this exact reason. Asbestos, lead, and who knows what else.
Depends on the area, the mortgage/insurance you have, and a number of other variables. In our case, none was found, so we were free from litigation
Wow. This is a job and a half and you've already filled up a massive skip! At this point, I'd be hiring a bulldozer! 🤣🤣 Good luck to you! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Thanks! It really has been a while ordeal, and I haven't even gotten around to building yet!
That house looks like a fire hazard
Hahaha I love how your friends gradually start wearing masks when they realise dusty the cleanup is 😂 Awesome video btw, I look forward to part 2 (and the rest!) What you do with this house will not only benefit your family but future generations too! 🏠♥️
So true! Haha on the masks - I did that at first too!
@@SchaeferFamilyAdventure I grew up around lots of building work so I know how dusty things can get! 😷 I live in a 1700s English cottage that was last renovated in the 1970s so it had to be brought up to date. Out of interest what year is this house? It looks pretty old from the style of woodwork! ♥️
Not quite that old - built in 1917!
@@SchaeferFamilyAdventure That is actually older than a lot of UK houses! The rows of suburban modern semi-detached homes here are from the 20s and 30s. It's crazy to think that World War One was still raging while yours was being built! ♥️
That is crazy to think about! So much history this house has seen.
$30,000 Dollars wow that's a lot cheaper than Southern England as you know.. just wondering if it's cheaper to hire a tow tailor you hook up the back of your car? That's what we call them in the uk at any rate. Getting another huge bin could prove costly especially if it's going to be full... or you split the cost with a neibour who might have a need to clear up their garden/ yard or something?
The dumpster, or skid is the most cost effective way for us, I believe, because we would have to pay to dump the trailer each time otherwise.
30000 is much cheaper than almost anywhere!!!
You need a haircut 😂🤣🤣
For real. This Rona hair is really getting to me.
@@SchaeferFamilyAdventure I've never seen your hair so long!
Hi Matthew.
First I'm not sure if you are aware but your video is not showing up as a new upload. Hence maybe the few views so far. I can't believe I'm10th.
Second. Wow! I'm not so concerned about the interior walls but the amount of gaps in the outer walls. I also can't believe what is holding up the your second story, (assuming there is no basement).
I would be crying at this point and I've done some home renovation on brick built houses. I am impressed with American skips. (Bins) That is huge and the fact you have filled it and need a second one is another reason I would be upset if it were me. How much do you think this will all cost replacing all this? On the plus side it looks huge compared to the average UK home.
I'm glad you have help but as I can see, you are probably doing the bulk of the work yourself. I do hope the tearing down part will stop soon. How long do you think this will take you?
Do take care all of you as any mishap at this stage could cost you months.
Best of luck.
Ray.
Hi Ray!
It does have a basement, but timber construction can be quite alarming! It doesn't seem like it should support muh weight.
There may have been some crying!! 😂😂
We are hoping to be done with the first stage (1 unit livable) by mid October or sooner.
Hairdressers have been open for months 😂
Okay, okay!
But who has time for a haircut?
I'm actually thinking of letting it grow for a bit - I just have to get over this (v long) awkward stage! I'll be out any day now, in sure.
