It always amazes me how a house can go from looking like it is falling apart to completely livable with a coat of paint...well done...cute little house!
This is where I started watching this channel. This had no walls. Then u did ur simply safe videos in this living room. There was even a special focus on the kitchen door safety. Time passes quickly. This is a unique house and hope u find the right tenant.
It is nice to see that you show how the health of the house has been and what needs to be fixed after this long time. Watching you fill in the cracks in the brickwork of this house was how I first found your channel! I can't believe is has been 9 years already!
Lovely I got started the same way. Got married, moved into my small bachelor reno (25yrs ago) It became a rental.. Looking back at my work then… a little sketchy, but.. on a budget. Keep up the good work, and keep preaching to the youngsters about buying and holding property. American dream can still be done
Glad I see posts from you again. Regarding the ground disappearing, it would be safer for the house and renter, to have a retaining wall beneth there. If you ever going to sell it will be a major factor to have it done; for the renters, they want to feel secure living there, something to consider.
I figured you moved to the better house with more room. I figure you will move your shop to the barns on your property. Smart to keep this one maintained, I recall you did a ton of work to get this house up to code and livable. It makes sense now why you have been busy and not posting. Outdoor painting has to be done when the weather is nice. The 9K house can wait, but you are getting so close to done for one, that. I adore this channel.
for anyone wondering selling your primary (a home you've lived in 2 out of the last 5 years) lets you be exempt from capital gains (taxes on assets you've owned for over a year) for up to $250k if filing single, or $500k if filing jointly. So unless you profit more than 500k as a married couple, you won't any taxes.
I wonder if that sill could be replaced from the basement. Maybe put up a supporting temporary beam while you tear out sections at a time. Nice work as always.
Is it the sill plate, rim joist, or both that failed? Building the temporary wall inside as you do a section works. My brother had to replace the entire foundation and build new footings on his house. He purchased a digger for the heavy work. It was less per month in payments than the rental charge, plus he was able to sell it for more than he owed when he was done. It looks like there is no gasket between the foundation and the wood structure, which is a sure fire recipe for serious rot. Aside from that, it is a lovely little cozy home for a young family. It will be great to see it lived in and loved again.
It’s a sweet little home. It feels bigger than it is because it has three porches. After you fill in the dirt along the back wall, I would put down concrete or tile or something under the deck. That would make another little sitting area. ❤️🤗🐝
A very lovely little home, that is for sure. Renewing the rim joist and sill plate is not as bad as it serms if you do it one section at a time. My brother had to replace the entire foundation and add new footings under his house. He did it while living in the house. For jobs that were too big for him alone he wtnt to the local shelter and hired people from there. He supplied meals and liquids and paid a very reasonable amount. At least one of his regulars used the experience to get work with a contractor. She is working at becoming a Journeyman brick mason.
thanks for the tour! I look at these houses, the ones you’ve posted and other in the US and am quite amazed that there is not more of an roof overhang at the sides of the buildings and that the roof angles are so vide. (I live in west Sweden so wetter, but still. The design kind of invites the wood to rot and deteriorate. You too seem to get quite a lot of rain on and off. I’m more at ease with the barn/sawmill you’re working on. Clearly Scandinavian vibes to that one😅
When you do finally saw back the porch to replace the band, you can always do something decorative, like a row of brick, to make it look intentional. Instead of a patch, it's decorative.
I started to watch your work on the 12,000 house. This one sure is a cutie and shouldn't take very long to get it fixed and rented. You have been growing a family and a few y tube channels so you've been very busy. We stripped sanded and painted our rental that was originally a farm labor house built in the late 1800's. The years of paint and all the additions were a real challenge but when we were finished it looked like a new build. Sanding and scraping the siding really makes a difference.
One thing you might think of next time is to redo the roof line to add 2' eaves. If you have eaves, you have a whole lot less moisture attacking things like your basement windows, columns and decks.
Not sure, too many other comments, if someone already said this.. but at least in Iowa.. even after I turned my primary home into a rental and later sold it I still got the tax benefit. What the tax guy did was remove any capital gains from the date I owned it until the date I sold it and then I had to pay gains on the remaining months/years that I rented it. So, at least in Iowa, I still was able to get the same tax benefit. So make sure you look into that when/if you ever sell it.
What a cute house, maybe the lower area of the porch you could buy vertical bat & board to add some character and the darker gray would look good on the brick posts. Wish I lived in that area to rent it.
I would cut off some of those wayward trunks on that crape myrtle. That will help push the growth upward and save the clean up when the sideways one get too heavy and split.
@@statewench2828 i dont know the prices in the us, but since you paint in very thin layers it lasts a lot longer. I dont think its a very big difference, atleast not here in sweden.
I think this is one beautiful home. If I were in your neck of the woods, I would most definitely want to rent it from you. Although I live in Colorado and have lived here for thirty years now, I want you to know that I am a southern boy. I'm from a Carroll County, Georgia. If I ever win the lottery for a substantial amount of money, I'll be giving you a call to ask you could I rent this home. You're a good man Mr. I don't know your name. Have a great day okay! -Melvin - Colorado Springs, Colorado - Monday, September 09, 2024 - 10:01 AM
@@michaeltutty1540 i was thinking mainly of the floor. The current gap in the floor is inconvenient, stepping down of the front verandah, then walking around to then step up to the side enclosed space.
What a cute house! Can you comment why you didn't prime the outside first? I know paint has primer in it now, but I would think for exterior raw wood, a coat or two of primer would make the paint last as lot longer.
I remember when you worked on this house with your ex girlfriend 😂(as my husband often calls me! That opened up wall to the kitchen was one of the videos I referred to often, until, we finally did our own kitchen- living header! Great stuff😊
Speculation is starting to roll in as to the numbers on your hand (VERY nice font, btw!). I thought it was to keep the videos in ourder, but of course you could just look at the timestamp for that.
I think the days of finding $10k houses is pretty much over, unless they are absolute trash. You really had a few good years of great buying opportunities. Hope you built up a good portfolio of rental homes. I think going forward it will be quite a bit more expensive to enter into that market.
Out of curiosity you spray the paint on then hit it with a brush is that to save on the amount of paint you use? or remove texture the spraying leaves ? Or is that what you are supposed to do ?
Well.....I sold the first house I ever bought and glad of it but this was my first house I lived in with my wife and first child....so yes, it's sentimental. I'm scared of how mad I'll be if someone messes it up.
Your back staircase is not code compliant. Horizontal railings are dangerous. You need verticle pickets that are no more than four inches apart for safety. Just an FYI
It’s a new bucket of paint, has it shaken and also mix every time. It clogs some but you just rotate the tip and spray which clears the tip. Perhaps you are using messed up paint or too small a tip.
depending on comparable sales in the area, I would consider fixing it up for sale instead of another rental. Nothing wrong with having a lump sum of cash in the bank.
2 questions, I paused at 12:45 to ask. 1) what is up with the numbers on your left hand? Last video you had a "2"(?) and in this video you have a "4". Did I miss out on something? I've been subbed for at least 2 years, never noticed before. 2) I'm not in Construction, so please don't take this as a critique. At 12:45, you are talking about the rotted wood, out front. Since you said that you redid this whole house, I'm guessing one of your 1st ones, do you feel that you have learned, since then, of a better practice in building to prevent this, like some kind of lip/flashing or change of design or do you think a change in material is better? Maybe both? Again, not critiquing, I am honestly wondering how your experiences have changed your methods. Have a good day.

A great example of why having big eaves is a good thing. Keeps the windows, siding, and house paint more good for more longer. IMO anyhow.
In the $12000 house videos he added large eaves.
That and in the Southwest it's a must to keep the house shaded.

I got started the same way.
Got married, moved into my small bachelor reno
(25yrs ago)
It became a rental..
Looking back at my work then… a little sketchy, but.. on a budget.
Keep up the good work, and keep preaching to the youngsters about buying and holding property.
American dream can still be done
I remember this home and the workshop basement back when you were working on this one at the start of your channel.
Glad I see posts from you again. Regarding the ground disappearing, it would be safer for the house and renter, to have a retaining wall beneth there. If you ever going to sell it will be a major factor to have it done; for the renters, they want to feel secure living there, something to consider.

I’m gonna be honest…..i didn’t think of that. Thanks for the now obvious idea.

If I remember this house had a nice workshop on the bottom!!

It’s the simply safe house lol.
I remember this house from the first few SimpliSafe ads you did.
I just had to mention that at 11:15 your train horn and a train near my house were both happening at the same time. Crazy coincidence!
I really like the color you picked
Valspar Historical Grey

Oh , what a cool new series! I think I’ll enjoy this, thank you. 🇬🇧👋👋🇺🇸
Yes morr vids of house restos & longer vids 25-50mins etc
I don't like long vids. I think his are just perfect.
I think 15-20 minutes is perfect length. I’d prefer 2 over a couple weeks than one long one a month.
Use lineseed oil paint instead of plastic paint. That way the wood doesnt rot.
really expensive but worth it in the long run for sure.
@@statewench2828 i dont know the prices in the us, but since you paint in very thin layers it lasts a lot longer. I dont think its a very big difference, atleast not here in sweden.
Also bury the power wire from the curb in an underground conduit and up into the meter so you can dump the side conduit.
Where have you been? Missed seeing your work. That is such a cute little house.

It's a nice-looking house.
Very nice. Outside corner of the porch needs some attention too
Cute house!
The house is so cute.The bathroom seems quite small, a pocket door,or barndoor would be a suggestion to help the space out.
We lived there for years and it was never an issue, smaller houses only seem small when you are used to a big house.
Would you consider extending the front porch across the full frontage of the house, to include the enclosed verandah on the right?
A nice idea but would mean restructuring the roof to make the planes look right with one another.
@@michaeltutty1540 i was thinking mainly of the floor. The current gap in the floor is inconvenient, stepping down of the front verandah, then walking around to then step up to the side enclosed space.
Looks good

Raw exterior wood absolutely needs priming first
It’s solid stain, meant for bare wood.

Ha, indeed.
Purely curiosity, but what are the numbers written on your hand representing? I've noticed a 2, 4 & 7 so far...hustling 24/7?
I only caught the 4 and 7. I came to the comments to see the discussion. It got my curiosity going
I can't believe it 2 videos!!!!!
more coming soon
I live in New York and a house like that in the outer boroughs would cost about $450,000. In Upstate NY maybe you can find one for about $175,000.
Very nice God Bless

There’s always something cheap out there.
Would it have been worthwhile to prime for an even finish and longevity?
I was wondering also, maybe paint/primer in one?
[8:24] The wall paint at this point looks amazing! Can you share what kind of paint you used?
Maybe worth turning this one into an Airbnb if it’s in town
Yeah, I would love to see more of this house too.
Don't you own the whole neighborhood or street that this house sits on or something by now? lol
I would extend the porch to where the other door is. instead of redo the retaining wall.
what's the numbers on your hand represent? It was 2 in the last video, then 4, then 7...
Out of curiosity you spray the paint on then hit it with a brush is that to save on the amount of paint you use? or remove texture the spraying leaves ? Or is that what you are supposed to do ?
It’s called back brushing, presses the paint into the wood.
@@homemadehome5575 oh I see so it’s not just a surface level fisnish it pushes it into the wood and makes it more durable I guess ?
Think of all the money from three years rent. You have to do more than four videos to make up for that. Landscaping curb appeal could be one.
There's just something about the first house you own. I'm too sentimental.
Well.....I sold the first house I ever bought and glad of it but this was my first house I lived in with my wife and first child....so yes, it's sentimental. I'm scared of how mad I'll be if someone messes it up.

Hi. I love your videos. Like seeing the work and enjoy the talking. I'm curious, what do the numbers on your hand mean?
More house renovations the better. I don't care which house it is.
Good, it's going to be a mix
maybe extend front porch deck across full width of house?
Numbers drawn on your hands!? Teaching the bairns their numbers perchance? 😂
What’s the numbers and letters mean on the hand. The last video you had a 2 and this one looks like an 7
did youn post the remodeling of this house years ago? i feel like i seen you remodel this house
It was shown in the first handful of videos on this channel before things took off.
Great looking house to rent out so they can tear the crap out of it within a year.
When I first found your channel, you were setting up your workshop in a basement. Was this the house? I think your hair was longer then!
You are correct
How do you keep your paint sprayer tip from clogging up?
It’s a new bucket of paint, has it shaken and also mix every time. It clogs some but you just rotate the tip and spray which clears the tip. Perhaps you are using messed up paint or too small a tip.
