Restoring A $7,000 Mansion: Building A New Kitchen Wall
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I am working in my mansion, tearing down an old wall, replacing worn out flooring, rebuilding supporting beams, and building a new wall. I am using a few simple tools, strong hands, great friends, and a positive, happy, attitude. Learning about new tools, making mistakes, laughing, having fun, making a dream come to life, and more.

Justin deserves a nobel prize for working with these two ......
Two noble !
He is a champ. I wouldn’t last one day without some earplugs.
He’s a saint. So much patience.
And a Nobel prize too.
@@poodlegirl55 That would be dynamite!
Justin deserves a mental health metal to put up with Roman and Cole.
Great work together though.
I enjoy watching every episode.
I absolutely adores listening to Roman says, "joistseseses". His accent is fantastic! You are lucky to have him there Cole!
I love hearing Roman say "joistes" almost as much as I love hearing Aurikatariina say "trashes"!🥰
It’s driving my husband nuts!
@@jesusisGod1434 I think Roman is jealous of Justin that why he is always ribbing him and knocking Justin
Roman cracks me up every time I see him. He’s just plain funny as hell! 😅
Also eye candy and great accent!
Cole pink eye is extremely contagious. You should wash your hands often to keep from spreading it especially to the babies, Nave, Roman, Justin and your parents.
not really
My thoughts exactly. So makes me wonder where he caught @pink eye in the first place?
Yes, be very careful around your babies.
You can see how much knowledge Justin has about carpentry. Justin is the man!
Cole. Having raised a family you must have a bedroom for each child. That will save you a lot of drama. Don’t take to many walls out as it’s nice to have separate rooms. You can enlarge the doors between to make it seem more open and still have more rooms. Bedroom on the main level will be a blessing down the road. Really give it some deep thought. Your boys and wife are awesome. Wishing you all the very best!
They have already decided to rip out all the walls.
They will be adding a 2 story addition to the house which will attach to the new garage. That will have additional bedrooms in it.
It’s got a massive 3rd floor, calm down
Not to worry about the future as to living space in this house, . . . one dry year out in the corn fields, no income, missed payments on his millions in loans and the banker will be living in this house. All their fields are dry-land farming (no irrigation system). Cole's living on borrowed money; dry-land farming is risky business and IMO he's way over extended. I grew up on a dry-land farm, I understand the risks involved. RUclips videos won't make the bank payments, and now with the money dumped on this "restoration" project, he'll be wishing he had left a few walls standing in that house. Building a 2-story addition with underground theater is going overboard. Ideas bigger than his pocket book.
@@Fasciseus calm down man, your jealous side is showing. Sorry to hear that your family messed up their farm and now you do not have it, doesn't mean his will.
Cole, Roman deserves a mew hoodie. He's an awesome helper, Justin deserves one too he's cool
Everybody needs a Roman to work with!! I love his ever positive attitude and never ending smile!! Keep up the great word gentlemen!!!
And he recognises that metric is so much easier.
Heads up! Special request! There will have to be a tour of Roman's chicken coup when it's finished.
We the poeple , we want to see the full build
of the chicken "chateau "
But not in metric !
Lol !
100% yes
lol 😂
Your eye looks better already, Cole. Enjoy watching!
Roman please take the battery out when you change the blade. It only takes seconds to do and you won't lose fingers
Master bedroom on the main level. Because your gonna age. I’d suggest a laundry room on the main level and one upstairs. So, you don’t have to carry loads of laundry up or down. Makes for a more productive day. (Speaking from experience)
Tell me you're NOT putting the laundry room in that basement. Up and down and up and down, upstairs to the bedrooms down ALL the way to the basement and back again. Are you the one doing the laundry? I agree with the folks that say you need a master bedroom on the main floor AND a laundry room/space.
I might not need a master bedroom on the main level, but a bedroom for times when someone is sick or for naps would make sense.
To save your future sanity strongly recommend the kiddos having their own bedrooms! Not to mention what if one of them inherits the house but needs or prefers more bedrooms for his family saving the trouble doing it now then later.
Completely agree, a house this size should have at least 3, if not 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
@BigDaddyFried yes right now it would be easy with hvac, electrical just everything with no walls vs if they do it after the fact.
I totally agree with you. I had 2 of my children sharing a room and as they got older, it was not good. They each wanted their own room.
@dianesmith1837 me too! I've got 3 boys 19, 16, 13 and our first home they had to share up till about 4 yrs ago it was a nightmare their personalities being so different they'd get on each others nerves and some fights were epic and not in a good way!
Ye of little faith, there's a plan in play. Hang tight and keep watching. 😉
Again, Cole, Roman, and Justin do a great job working together.
Justin deserves a big bonus. He just keeps on going Like to see how it’s going😊😊😊😊😊😊
The laundry room should be on the same floor as the closet you keep your clothes in linden closet where you keep your sheets and towels - carrying that laundry up and down three flights of steps is not going to be easy especially with two little ones
In Ontario Canada when building a header we will usually put a 1/2 sheet of plywood in between the dimensional lumber to make it 3 1/2 thick to match the existing wall.
Juston hated me for that suggestion 😢
Cole, a suggestion for the 2nd floor. Since everything is gutted I would plumb, run electrical and venting for a washer and dryer. Convenient location near the bedrooms.
The laundry shoot is a must. I had a laundry room on the second story where all the bedrooms were located. Now I would want an elevator.
I've been told that new house builders no longer put them in. I love mine.
@@MoolarkeyMy house came with one and the home inspector tried to tell me I should nail it shut - absolutely not.
Driving up to the house looks so much better since you started cleaning up the farm five years ago! Wow, you have been busy.
In the past when I got a new 50 foot extension cord I'd go along the lenght and wrap electrical tape around it. Giving the impression that it had been repaired several times...... never had one stolen... lol
I was told to do the same thing when camping so it wouldn't get stolen.
Cole if you have pink eye. It's very contagious...you can give it to Nave or the kids ...parents.. your workers....take care..
Cole, Your mansion restoration videos are so entertaining, educational, and hilarious!! 🤣👷👷♂👷♂ You 3 work so well together and I look forward to your silly antics!!
Cole, Roman has earned a free hoodie, give him one already!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DANGER-DANGEROUS! Never ever, never cross your arms with a chop saw! At 29:03 someone did a bad thing! Truly guys you are working so hard. Be safe, first. I worked in an ER for many years! Keep rocking, enjoying watching your progress!
Thank you for your input!
Safety eye glasses Cole… lots of dust during a reno…. Great teamwork and workmanship 😁
Im sure Justin knows this but, just for clarification, a JACK stud is the stud on closest to the window or door and holds up the header. Furthermore, the size of the opening determines how many jack studs you need. The KING stud is on the outside of the JACK stud and goes from bottom plate to top plate. A CRIPPLE is the short stud from the top of the header to the top plate.
Thank you!
I know! I was talking to my screen going "you forgot about the Jack stud"! LOL Thank you for mentioning it.
A Jack stud can also be called a trimmer. A cripple stud can be between the top plate and header or between the bottom plate and sill.
....just checking in to see if anyone else caught that! :)
My girlfriend asked why everyday when I get home I spend 40 minutes watching people work immediately after doing the same line of work for 10 hours. And I didn’t have a good answer for her. But loving the build and vids so far!😂
Fill that mansion with children Cole and Nave! As a mother of four (now adult children), I would suggest you put in a laundry room on the bedroom level and if you have bedrooms in the attic, put a laundry chute from the attic to the laundry room. One of our 5 houses that we have lived in had a laundry room on the bedroom level and it was wonderful! Now we have a laundry chute to the laundry room from the upstairs. You won't regret it and Nave will LOVE it☺
Call let some of the best advice you've been given and I've seen it three or four times now😊 better listen to them
Yes it’s a life saver doing laundry on the same floor with the bedrooms, it’s a must going forward with me. 👍⭐️
When I was little, I used to slide down the laundry Shute.
I would use one of the cut outs for the old chimney as a laundry shoot, but I think he did say they were putting the laundry on the second floor. I could be wrong...but I thought he mentioned that a long time ago.
Cole put a bedroom on the first floor because when you get older it will be harder to go up and down the stairs trust me from experience
That's some top quality Menards wood you got there, even comes with bark.
Yes always have a bedroom downstairs 😘👍🏻💕great job you guys are doing 😘👍🏻loved the video 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
Justin fascinates me. What a great guy to have around.
It is 100% easier to build from new than to renovate, especially a 100 year old home when builders in olden times did some sketchy things and also did not have the building materials we have today. You guys are doing a tremendous job! ❤️
This guys motivation to restore this home for his sweet wife and son is so so sweet; you can tell he is putting love into it. What a good man! ❤
Cole...Pink eye IS contagious.....Your family friends and kids can get it..
Where do you think he got it from?
Justin I feel you! Time to go at 4:30pm, you work your behind off and earned a break!
He got rubbed the wrong way. He also called Roman a dummy. He can give as good as he gets. And don’t forget Cole and Roman kid each other too.
@@ER-xl6cs boy thanks for letting me know! 🙄
This is the house that Justin built. Team Justin !!!! Okay Roman and Cole have helped.
Hey Roman, when you change a circular saw blade or any saw blade for that matter - remove the battery or power source first! It could save a finger or two.
Roman is a genius for keeping the old lumber. Much tighter growth rings than the new crap, plus it's usually cut from the heartwood. His chicken coop will be SOLID. And metric is waaay easier to measure with.
In my area we refer to stud types as follows. Do you refer to them differently in your area?
King stud- gos from top plate to bottom plate.
Jack stud- gos from bottom plate to bottom of a header.
Cripple stud- (short studs) fill in above an opening such as doors and or windows as well as under windows from bottom plate to sill plate.
Do as Cole does, just call them all "boards" and be done with it.
You are 100% correct!
Great work guys! Inspirational & entertaining video! I agree with some comments - have the master bedroom on the lower level or at least prepare a room that can be converted to a master at a later time! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
Cole , Roman is such a good teacher, it’s in his blood, it’s like he can’t help it, information just keeps coming, I can 0:14 tell he loves this kind of work. And while I am loving the renovation, I miss your farm living and all the glorious planting and harvesting knowledge that you have and share with us folks that are envious of your lifestyle. I pretend I am living on the farm as I watch your videos. Praying for your home to come together sweetly and be around for 100 more years. FYI ! I have been watching daddy cornstar videos, they are funny and really good to watch too.
Trust me planting season will be here before you know it. It's March I think they start planting sometime in May and harvest in oct-dec
I would put more work into calculating the loads transferred down from the headers and into the foundation. The code in the northeast would require more support members under the headers-I'm not sure what the code in your area is. At any rate, I love watching you guys, and your enthusiasm is great.
In my area to even get a permit for reno’s at this scale where the floor plan is changing drastically engineering documents are required. I’m assuming this construction 1) has a permit and 2) has had the proper engineering work completed.
Otherwise I’m certain that one of these videos will be one where the inspector was clued into this very public renovation, and pays a surprise visit.
Cole, time to purchase some steel lolly columns. Instead of using lumber, the steel column is adjustable for length and makes it easier to insert vertical pieces into place. When finished you can use the columns in the basement under the highest stressed areas.
Work smarter not harder.
Justin just keep doing what your doing. And pass on your knowledge. Tech is good. But the skill without technology is priceless.
Roman, you are teaching us well..
When change depthvof blade and replacing the blade. Always disconnect from power source
Come on guys! Get a pack of the good SawSaw blades. Diablo carbide teeth steel demon. You will love them
I'm learning so much about construction. I know to do a lot of things you are doing but I never knew why. Thanks for the instruction and information as well as examples.
Might want to re-think those narrow staircases since they will all need some modifications. Picture yourself moving furniture and beds to the upper floors
Agree! And put in an elevator for the person who is going to use the ramp…. In a wheelchair in the future…. Widen the halls and doors.
@@jesusisGod1434Hell, might as well just bring in the hospital bed now.
Awesome people smash the like button to show support for this channel. New viewers subscribe it is free and you won't miss any new videos. Thank you all for your kindness.😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your kindness ❤
Pink eye is extremely contagious. Take special care around the babies.
This is epic. Thank goodness for Justin to keep you on track. 🥰👏👏👏
I love the videos!! I would like to see you guys wear safety glasses when using the saws. Remember you only have two eyes be careful Scott from Michigan
Hey, when you’re doing this stuff, make sure to do everything with minimal effort. Use different techniques to hit the plywood into place. By stomping it’s into place only hurts your joints. Take a scrap piece of plywood and hit that with your hammer pushing the plywood into place. In the long run, that joint replacement will be further out that sooner.
Thank you! Every single sheet of OSB was set in place with a sledge and a 2x4 just like you said.
Cedric (our editor) decided not to but that footage in I guess
Roman is a master at everything. Cole could learn a few things from him. Would it be possible for us to get some hand-sharpened pencils from Roman?
Justin hang in there They know they can’t do this without you smile😊
I’ve asked several times that the stop hassling you ( Justin) it’s just not cool, especially when they outnumber you.
They kid each other. Justin called Roman a dummy. Cole and Roman joke about each other’s intelligence too. The video shows them working well together too. Somehow I think Justin will survive.,
I will be honest… I’m here for Roman!!!… and the house renovations… and Justin, I feel for you having to put up with both Cole and Roman.
At least they’re nice to look at
And who is joist and her sister
Roman’s gorgeous! You’re not wrong Rick!!
I'm very much enjoying this renovation. I hope you consider adding a fireplace of some kind in your home considering your cold winters and the coziness of a fire.
Updates galore!! Very cool!! Thank u Cedric’s for ur quick fire return of these videos. Lovin it.
Im still confused about the bedrooms. You won't regret having a room for each boy. Also, have you considered having a Mother-in-law room & bath on the main floor?? It will help as Cole & Nave age....then you wouldn't have to leave the farm. Just thoughts.
I believe Jack Studs hold the header up. Cripple studs go above the header or under a window. Isn't that true?
Hip-hip-hooray for Justin. I love and respect all that you do!! Just hang’ in there.
With all of you doing measuring and cutting. Check your tape measures against each other's. When me and my brother in law were building my father in laws house. I would tell him a measurement and he would cut it. Always coming up wrong. We found out his tape measure was 1/8 inch off per foot. It's way out in the woods now, resting in peace. Cuts got a lot better after that. Project looking great.
“It’s way out in the woods now,resting in peace.” 😂🤣😅
Dude, I must say, I am really enjoying this series of videos. Entertaining, yet still educational. Most younger people have no idea how these older homes are and were built. Kudos for showing the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. Love Roman's go get em attitude. Super happy he has his citizenship! Welcome brother!
❤
Every kid should have a bedroom of their own . Bathroom on every floor .
They will be adding a 2 story addition to the house which will attach to the new garage. That will have additional bedrooms in it.
I really enjoy your farm videos but I am absolutely loving this house refurb/rebuild.
Quick tip Cole when you have a 2 x 6 with bark on the edge, cut it off with an olpha knife, so it doesn’t rot the rest of your wood, also can’t wait till a new video comes out and watching you since you started in 2018
Justin is an awesome builder! He’s very thorough and capable! You guys make an excellent team!
came to the channel years ago to learn about farming. Now I just want to see this house get finished!!!!
I agree with everyone so far..where are the boys room going to be? Please make separate rooms for them.
I just found your channel and I can’t stop watching. The house renovation is fantastic. Second only to your personalities, work ethic and friendship.
Put washer / dryer upstairs and a house that large needs at least four bedrooms.
Boys, please don’t fight!!!! I love what you all are doing! It is going to be fabulous so very soon.
You need more bedrooms. A house this big should easily have 3 if not 4. And the children are going to need to separate rooms. If not have fun with the fights and arguments. Big bedrooms are overrated. You want them big enough for the bed, dressers and maybe desk, and enough space to walk around without being crowded. But you dont need a baseball field in them. Trust me, had the same issue growing up. 3 bedroom house with 3 siblings. Me and my brother were always bickering about something in there.
It would be wise to take out that big water tank now, I,m sure you will have to cut it up to remove it.
Thanks for sharing I agree with some of the comments if you plan on living there till you get old I would definitely recommend master bedroom on first floor or make it easier to move it down later in life when you don’t want to climb stairs as much 😂
When taking out a wall, instead of cutting the nails to remove the studs, use a circular saw to just cut the studs in two.. then they just pull out very simply. No need to cut any metal.
Roman will be reusing some of the studs to build a chicken coop and might need the full length.
We need more people like Roman in this world! ❤️ I've watched all your videos since the beginning. Love them all! Can't wait to see it finished!
Keep your teasing to a minimum guys, cuz teasing can get old real fast and you don't want to lose a great worker. Otherwise great job! I can't wait for the finished house.
We are all about to quit on each other all together 😄
Hello to my favorite couple in the world, Cole and Nave. I really need some baby and little boy updates. You know they’ll be grown soon…so a pic or two would be nice. ✌️🥰 Please, no picking on Justin…he’s the man! ☺️ You guys are doing a fabulous job. Can’t believe how quickly it’s moving along. 👍👍 BTW…eye infection is such a drag…be very careful…hope it gets better soon‼️
Check out his wife's channel
I have a few suggestions to make things go much better. #1 leave Justin alone. #2 Get a radio and turn it up high enough to hear but not so loud that you have to yell over it. #3 When Cole isn't carrying heavy timbers or on gofor runs , have him go to the main heated shop. I'm sure Big Daddy Cornstar has things to occupy his time over there. This will reduce the amount of "hate on Justin by at least 50%. Honestly, I'd have left already but, hey that's me. When I am at work, I work. No time for BS. Roman you're a big help too but since I'm not there to put a boot up some butts I expect you to do better also. :P
rough cut lumber is all fine and dandy but remove the bark, it is the first place where insects nest in and damage the wood
Not only is Roman speaking in a foreign language (for him) but he has to deal with our funky measuring system. Impressive.
I'm a 65 year old , old lady. I love you guys! So funny
The fact that the 3 of you haven't come to blows by now is somewhat of a miracle in itself! 🤣
Cole you should move the laundry upstairs. Going up and down is fine when you’re young but not when you’re older. And a bedroom on the main floor is a good idea for when guests come that can’t make it up stairs. Just a thought. Don’t want to do all that work to just change it later.
I was going to tell you two boys in the last video .
Leave Justin alone.
He's a good guy.
Team Justin!
me too he is a really hard worker and no horsing around he just keeps working steady on well cole and roman rib him all day
This is the best Cornstar series yet. The comradery and fun you are having is enjoyable to watch.
I dont care for the put downs.
All I can say is we are happy that Cole got his High School GED diploma. You three guys keep grinding it out. It's gonna be a palace when completed. Roman and Justin need a $ raise.
poop eye. wash your hands more.
IMHO you should have sandwiched a 1/2 inch piece of plywood or osb in that header. That way when you go to sheet the wall there is backing on both sides to screw to. But that is just the way I do it.
You are 💯 correct!!!
I should’ve listened to Juston
@@Romegrom You can fix it simply by nailing a 1/2 inch piece to the outside. It doesn't look as good but it works! Tell Justin I approved it and if he doesn't like it I will turn him into HR!😁
@@skidoorulz4914 lol
I will!
I was actually going to leave a 1/2 gap between the two board because we didn’t have anything 1/2 to fill in at that time, but Juston yelled at me for trying to do that 😄
I have been enjoying this renovation video very much! You guys work very well together.. I love seeing Justin. Getting more comfortable being on video. And goodness what's there not to love about Roman😊 So much is getting done. Although I was in love with the old house as it was. But this is a new generation and new family living in this house. It is exciting! I would love to see Roman's wife and children. ❤ kudos guys great job!! Cole I am so surprised you never had your eyes checked before now..wow!! I hope ur eye will get better soon.
I was engaged to a carpenter for a while. He always liked building new construction and said how hard remodeling was. Justin is truly a Master Carpenter. I appreciate all the information about what you are doing and why.
Thank God someone there understands what's going on with the build.
The best part of my day is seeing another video. I'm very much invested in following the whole project.
This is the best comedy show on tv. Since Roman has joined you and Justin, the interaction among you three is hilarious! I loved Roman’s note about the “portable stairs!” Roman really is great!
My Optometrist said in the early 1980s to speed your healing from Conjunctivitis aka Pinkeye. Take a clean washcloth fold so it is strip like. You can sit at the sink or lay down, if someone will bring it to you. Water as hot as you can take it, soak the washcloth. Ring excess. Close eyes and drape washcloth across them, across your face. When it cools, reheat. Do this for 15 minutes, several times a day. This will cause the blood vessels to open up and get the blood flowing around your eyes. Follow your doctor’s instructions and use this method to assist your healing. I have used this method since then. I get Conjunctivitis every Spring. Pollen, planting flower pots causes it. Everything you are doing inside your renovation, along with farming has more than likely caused yours. Good you went to your doctor. I hope this helps. Thank you for sharing your videos with us all. Blessings 🌎❤️😊
Don’t forget to like the video!!!!! 👍🏼🥰👍🏼🥰👍🏼🥰👍🏼
