  • In part 2 of remodelling my first floor, we get into the fun part of demolishing a few walls. Oh, and I find ANOTHER FIREPLACE Don't forget at the moment we currently are about 18 days away from my wedding day! In this video, I also figure out why my walls are 12" thick when the cabinets were built, and we get our materials to hold up the rest of the house!

    The Diablo carbide tipped blades( they're around $15-20, sooo worth it though )are my go-to when stripping a lathe and plater wall. Cuts like hot knife through butter, especially when cutting cast iron pipe in older houses. Give them a try on your next room remodel. -J.

    I hope you saved some of those newspapers, would be pretty cool to find a random local headline with a date and frame it for the house (my parents did something similar in their 1890’s Victorian when they found a date/signature on the old school vapor barrier by the chimney)

    Lol. I actually thought you were going to keep the China hutch after you exposed the chimney. I wanted to take a picture of the finished product for inspiration. My dads house has the same layout in the dining room and when he bought his house in the 70’s, of course it had been updated with wall to wall paneling and they covered the hutch in it, 🤮, I know, right. Anyways, took a screenshot before you started to demo. It will still be my inspiration. Lol.

    That looks like balloon framing, a lot of houses in that part of the country were made that way in the early 1900’s. That makes the job soooooo much more fun.

    • @John_Malecki

    Comment 1 about destroying that BEAUTIFUL built in!!!!! Also I cant believe that you got ride of that pocket door! My heart aches for the history. I get it, you should enjoy your home in the way that feels best to you, but the history is disappearing from the buildings.
    Omg and that paper that is 77 years old! How crazy! Would be interesting to know who lived in house durning that time and what their story was.
    Thanks for another great Reno episode.
