My daughter and her husband bought a house in the country. The inspector told them there were only minor problems to fix. After they bought it, they started noticing the first floor floors were loose. I crawled under there and found almost completely rotted floor joists. Thank God I was a retired contractor. We ended up replacing all of the flooring and joists.
Most houses i know have reinforced Concrete Floors.
So a loose floor is not possible.
@@asokawhitemost houses do not have concrete floors though.
@@Boga217 Her there i live 98% of all building have, ok its in europe so well.
How cool, a Full episode that I had never seen. Thank You so much for posting! I really enjoyed every minute of another very good Holmes Makes It Right!
Mike and crew definitely always make it right and beyond.
It was a good thing that the young couple reached out to Mike for his help. I couldn’t believe that he had a lot of time to explore each room. He had to do something for them.
this couple is the best of all of us for sure... love these 2!
one thing i know from watching this series is IF im ever in a position to be able to purchase a home, im gonna have a lot of questions when the home inspector does his thing. They're not gonna know what hit them.
yes but how do you know your questions to the home inspector has actual done his his thing. A lot of bull can be told but I hope people asking has the ability to smell the bull and run when needed. If the inspector can back up all the question asked then you can take the risk but even that its still a risk
Brit here, whats really bad, is that you have no way of checking him out BEFORE you call him in
The house flippers found their naive victims who only looked at the shiny finish and probably used an “inspector” that was in on the scam. Fraudulent home sellers like these should have to face criminal charges.
Love this team with all their hard work to make a home better than what it was. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
I love all the Holmes shows. But no one pays respect to the rock music in the background. Very cool
@13:10 many really old homes have toilets in the basement as if the sewage backs up its the first spot that it overflows into instead of the furnished upstairs (my grandmas place had one and so does my friends home)
in our case the basement shower was the first entry of the backed up sewage on one unhappy day. That drain is actually even lower than the toilet. 😉
I love they got Damon a bottle of Woodford Reserve! My kind of people.
Seeing that Woodford Reserve was like a flashbang because I live in Woodford County Kentucky, where it's made.
I wish there were more people like Mike that do things properly and professionally doing home repairs and inspections
Expose the former contractor!!!!
The other roof looked in better shape, but still they should have done both. Also, there are three doors shown on the front. Suggests there's a lower and upper unit aside them. Talk about crammed in. Assuming it was living space atop of a store front. Appears the other owner owns more than half of the building, which presumably explains the 2x4 interior wall towards the front. Good little starter for the couple back in 2011, but hopefully they moved onto something better.
This is great! I've never seen this episode!
It is so nice to see “new” episodes here. I have watched so many of the old ones, back from when Mike was a lot younger and actually did the work, but come on…one can only watch them build a house in New Orleans so many times! There are so many, so pout more on, HomefulTV!
I can never understand why someone would pay good money for a house thats attached to another house.
I would rather have a house house, but I understand the town home deal but this place being older just by looks doesn't look like it should be an attached home but I get u
location, they wanted something close to downtown, it probably was one of the few homes that was were they wanted and in their budget, sometimes compromises have to be made especially in densely populated areas, (lot of holmes on homes/holmes inspections had duplexes/attached homes)
Unless you are buying both sides
Everyone would prefer their own home, but given what available in the market of where you live (no homes, worse homes in unpleasant neighborhoods, multiplex apartments, condos) you can't be too choosy, specially if you want to live in the city. Realtors and developers know this and it's how places get gentrified, they are willing to buy the lot and patch up existing homes because it's cheaper. Kinda what happened to this couple.
I know right!!!
I atarted watching when u were doing videos in the apartment..an its been an awesome journey to go on with u
Miss watching the show. Learned a lot and was able to fix a few things I couldn't afford to pay someone for. And always dreamed about having things done the right way. But with today's prices (probably deserved by some, but not those that supposedly FIXED things for me in the past), you make due with what you have.
well there always be issues with a store conversion. wanna bet downstairs was the OG bathroom. RIP toliet
Heard Mike saying that "no laundry on 2nd floor" before. I say it should not be a problem. Yes, sure, IF it leaks it goes down the ceiling, but it shouldn't be leaking, as well as a shower pan shouldn't be leaking; same issue. And yes... there will be vibrations most likely but there are many, many homes where people simply don't have a basement or even live on a 2nd floor (apartment). There are ways to overcome the vibration (and leaking is not the norm).
Kristen: "What is this?"
Mike: "This is a hole in the floor."
LoL!
43:41 Mmmm...Woodford Reserve. To my tastes, about on par with Blanton's. A very nice sipping bourbon. And it tastes even better when you've worked for it and you know you deserve it. 👍
I have to wonder if this house would be better off with a combination of copper fin baseboard heat and mini-splits. Although that would probably be more expensive.
I absolutely couldn't live in that narrow little house. It's like a coffin
My thoughts too. I wanted a house all on its own with a big yard. We found a 1 owner 1950 home that the owners built and lived in until they passes away with almost an acre lot and jumped on it. Been here 2 yrs so far and only had minor issues and updating I've done most of it myself since I used to do construction
Y'all say 40 degree weather and we people from the Southern U.S. are adding layers of clothes!!!! LOL
LOL. he talking Celcius. That would be 104 Fahrenheit.
What products were you shooting in the studio lol 😆
Great Big Giant Angels.
Wish I would have saved me the money for the Inspector! Didn't take me long to figure out what all he missed and how shitty they covered things up and supposedly fixed what they found!
Hate to say this, but these kids kind of rub me the wrong way. Her wearing heels on a motorcycle, which isn't safe at all, and then this 'house' that they bought. Depending on just where in Canada they are, this 'house' could have cost them anywhere between 800k CAD, and over 1 million CAD. For money like that, they'd have been better off building a new home. I just get the impression that these two had a lot of daddy's or mommy's money to burn. It doesn't help matters that they present themselves both as photographers. The average salary for a photographer is in the 45k (CAD) range for a photographer... so wouldn't make near enough money to be able to afford something like this. Meaning they're either DEEP in debt and likely to lose the home to foreclosure... or they had a crap ton of outside cash and no real viable idea for how to prepare for the future.
That renovation/remediation would have to cost around $300K or more in today's $'s as a minimum.
it's probably a LONG time ago this and a new home can not easily be built in an old neighbourhood (downtown). I bought a 1880 house in the Netherlands 40 years ago and sure, there's always something to do but my expectations were (and are) in sinc with the age of the building. Which is attached left and right and downstairs.
If a toilet ever leaks, if a sink ever leaks, if a dishwasher ever leaks….. it’s going to cause huge problems. Why the inconsistency on no washing machine upstairs where it is the most convenient? It doesn’t make sense and it’s a stupid thing.
thank you. I just made (sort of) the same remark. Totally correct.
I wish you would underpin the basement and lower down for them before you do work in the basement because that’s a major job. it’s obvious the roof and the roof are not holding back the water and I’m just starting this video
The word of the day is: Shinola
Brit here, Yet Another so called inspector, let down the buyer. I ask again, why no National Register? Where buyer could look up so called inspectors and checkout their qualifications and experience together with customer satisfaction? Come on its not hard surely? This lovely couple were lucky that Mike and his crew did the work. God only knows what it would have cost otherwise.
Just curious yall ever do mobile home trailers?
I don't think they do, but Jeff Thorman, creator of Home Renovision is working on one in Florida right now in his series. He can be found here on yt. It's been part repair, part gut and redo.

@@denisegaylord382 thank you
I am country boy. When I got married I bought 21ac and built my house on it.
You should just take both houses and do them at once because they’re in really bad shape too
THIS IS WHY U DONT BUY ATTACHED HOUSES
unless the neighbor is also gutting theirs at the same time lol
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌
They saw a lot of really bad houses, that should have told them something about the areas they were looking in.
To good to be true 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
uuuuuuh. No. Not really. It's because the buildings are old because downtown is old. I know because looked at LOTs of them. It does take work to make them (sort of) up-to-date. And Mike (sorry to say) is a bit of a drama queen. OFCOURSE older buildings have asbestos/lesser fire walls/no hvac/small bathrooms/lesser insulation. Etcetera,etcetera. 1) fix the leaking, 2) don't touch the asbestos 3) accept or modify the other old-building-logics.
They put their trust in the home inspector. Mistake #1. I've watched so many episodes of Mike's shows dating way back to when he used to get dirty himself, that i could be my own home inspector. Probably do a better job than alot of these fraudsters in these episodes.
100% getting an IR camera
There shouldn't be a problem with semi's if it's built correctly. What about a block of flash? Same old, same old...
40 degrees weather and they are dying on the roof ??
Roughly 100+ Fahrenheit.
the are in canada. use celsius. over 100 fahrenheit.
Whatever happened to Kate Campbell?
Google is your friend. She has her own building/renovation company.
Half of these houses would not be legal in the United States
You are absolutely right and the home inspectors here in the states have their license pulled for 'missing' stuff. And contractors get put on blast here for doing crappy work.
A really old house, built in 1915 or 1916, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Insane
Any dude with a lip piercing frwaks me out
Yeah, she can do much better!
toilet in the basement.. coal mining town?
If only American General Contractors and Home Inspectors were as honest and trustworthy as our friends in the north are.
Apparently, they're not up north either. Otherwise, Holmes wouldn't have had the success He did.
Oh they're not, if anything Canadian builders and inspectors are worse. Mike Holmes is an exception.
The Home Inspector is a glorified real estate broker. Their job is to convince people to buy the white elephant on the block, for over elevated price!!
thier main problem is they bit off more then they could handle.. solution.. either prioritize the house or feeding her ego for a "special" wedding which frankly woulda been easier to save for then fixing the f*cking house first... grow up you two and fix the damned house first and comprimise your egos.
U dont wear heels when u ride a motorcycle.......guys should not be wearing holes in their ears....
it's not safe footwear, but to be honest... she was not riding the bike. (I see unsafe clothing on bikes every day here in N-America).
Lip rings on a man is just as disgusting as bugar rings in the nose
WOW WHAT A POS THS HOUSE WAS. DEEP POCKETS TO MAKE IT RIGHT
The thing that i learn today is , before i but a house i'm gonna call Holmes to go and inspect the house i want to see if it's worth the invest...
Other way i'm gonna be on the next Holmes Inspector episode and he is gonna be upset with me because i been watching his tv show the last 2 year ..
