    It is going to be nice to see you back in a proper shop with lifts, tools and proper HVAC. Shop + house should make for some interesting content.

    I would love to hear the process of leaving the old shop/warehouse, storing everything, looking and bidding on properties, then winning this one at auction.
    Congrats JR!

    Knockdown stucco ceiling is awesome painted with a satin or semi-gloss, the flat spots shine and leaves a matte look in the divots, gives lots of texture. Congrats on the new house.

    Congrats, I started watching when you built your last shop, I really miss the content from that shop and was sad when you sold it. Really look forward to this new shop content, now who can build the best shop Hoovie or JR 😎. I have 2 of those workmates in my garage, they still sell them and I just use it as a portable tool stand.

    Suggestion from my own experience,, make room for a common closet for the vacuum, broom and supplies. We bought a decent sized home that had a coat closet, but not enough room for cleaning stuff. So annoying! Very cool place, can't wait to see what you do with it!!

    That fuel pump is the high pressure pump for aircraft with fuel injected engines. It's valuable. those go for around $900 to $1300. Weldon is the most plentiful brand. I've got one just like it with the ports both facing forward. They put out about 22 psi. Which is all that's needed for mechanical aircraft fuel injection systems.

    That tree was the best thing to ever get rid of. It's a Chinese Elm. We have them here in Utah and they are are a vile weed. They drop little seed pods that can and will grow on cement, rock anything that would kill other plants. Congrats on the new property!

    @jackmead6166 Год назад +1

    I think this will be a really good setup for consolidating and making it eventually everything that you're going to need in one location.
    I also want to say that not knowing anything about the property not knowing anything other than watching your video........... I think you handle the subject matter of who previously owned the house very well and thank you for making a positive video.
    I do not know if you would even consider this or if it's even plausible but if you redid the workshop, the garage, the kitchen, and master bedroom with bathroom at the same time ......then it might be livable while you redo everything else?
    Great job and I'm very excited about the future!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

    Congratulations!!! Been watching since your last day on you IT job. You’re definitely been working hard and deserve this. Love the spray foam for the building (make sure it’s closed cell) Try to do a heat pump if you can, you’ll be glad if you ever decide to add some solar one day. Can’t wait to see the house and shop renovations.

    That 19:56 used to be a 'back bar'. It had glass shelves to display the booze. The actual bar was removed, it probably had an 80s theme, think 'Miami Vice'.

    You have serious vision. I looked through that place on sale day and had no idea where to start.

  • @tuneinkate
    @tuneinkate Год назад

    This property has potential. If you plan on living there eventually, I'd suggest running a Multi-core cable between the shop & house for your security & computer networks, when you lay the new cement. I'd also suggest a shower/toilet for the shed too - gives decontamination option, until you get house renovated, and keeps it clean afterwards too. Good buy, JR. Better option than that "farm".

    You ABSOLUTELY need to start a new channel called “WatchJRReno”! Going over the house renovations that you have going on. This would be anything residential/flip/home related. And your main could be anything commercial /warehouse oriented.
    Take advantage of this platform and monetize on all fronts brotha! Been watching you since 2019 and just saw this video pop up randomly after not having you in my feed for a long time. Almost half a mil subscribers! LETS GO!
    Get that bag!

  • @robertm5969
    @robertm5969 Год назад

    Renovations are a ton of work, but satisfying to see the transformation. If you're not living there I'd recommend gutting and recarpeting first. I'm doing the carpets a couple years after we got our house and it's a much bigger pain.

    Add washer and dryer to master bath when you expand it. So nice to wash your clothes and bedding and put it away in the same room.
    But still put washer and dryer downstairs for rest of house use.
