Considering your recent surgery and physical limitations you are a true inspiration. You don’t let any obstacles slow you down. Great job! Keep up the good work and videos coming Sam! 👍
This is like Discovery channel, but without the drama, clickbait, scripted "accidents" and "dramatic" music. Keep it up young man! This is how you build an audience. We are truly living vicariously through you.👍
Taking the toilets to the dump reminded me of the time the local Police Station got burgled. All the toilets were stolen. When interviewed by the local press and asked if there were any leads the Police Chief said " At the moment we have nothing to go on."
I know!. I have been watching for a year and all of the sudden Sam has an evil twin (not evil). This reminds me of a soap opera plot, now I am hooked for life.
you're such a good natured bad ass, in that compared to me, when I go to fix something, I usually make it worse and break something else in the process. I'm smarter now, pay the person who can
@@GenX...MCMLXV dude I'm retired, I will generously pay an eager young person who wants to do it, do it. It's how we pay forward or pay back, Karma thing.....good luck buddy
For plumbing stuff you can use copper tubing with Sharkbite fittings. You don’t need to solder the fittings. They just push together. It makes plumbing so much easier.
I bet the neighbors are happy to see you getting the place back in shape! Great work. BTW you will want to service the trailer bearings. Dont want to break down on the road..... Twins, lol.
@@JK-allday I have tried them all and Pex is by far the easiest it's literally just cut and push together and best part I have not had one leak yet. Good luck sir..
in my country all water pipes are 15mm or 22mm copper pipes that you join with solder, and its really easy and never leaks and all you need is a pipe cutter, a roll of solder, a tub of flux and a hand held butane torch, and a lot of the taps and stuff just "screw on" with compression fittings and its so easy even a girl (me) can plumb a whole house with 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a laundry room and a scullery in 2 days, on their own, with zero leaks.
If there is a fan in that furnace you should save it and make a dust extractor through the wall. Great when your sanding. You’re doing a great job there.
Good job Sam. Long term there is a big difference in renovating a property versus renovating a boat. Regardless of how much you repair or renovate the boat, it goes down in value over time Whereas with real estate , with renovations and with the passage of time the price goes way up! Smart move Sam!
Hey Sam for PVC you need to use acid cleaner on the end and the piece you are going into before you glue. Maybe you used it, I just did not see the second can. You put it on right before gluing, dont let the pieces sit and call them "prepared". I am a maintenance guy and deal with PVC, copper, pex, galvanized, brass...pex is great it goes together so easy and doesn't get super brittle like PVC does. Our old PVC pipes i take off I can drop a few feet and have them shatter like glass.
Your channel is my favorite on TH-cam right now, I am so excited to see you conquer the Atlantic and everything after. Even love see you fixing up this property. You have such an awesome outlook and I love the way you live your life. Thank you for continue to entertain us!
A trailer and small car is so much more pleasant than having a pickup. I’ve had both, and my little Northern Tool trailer and Subaru did everything I needed.
I love it! I am constantly "Camping Out" in, on or around my projects/work sites. Check out some local flooring suppliers or their installers. A bit of carpet remnant makes for a cozy feel at the end of a hard day.
I swear, I'd watch a video of Sam watching TV and eating Doritos. He's got such a great presentation style that every little chore becomes fascinating. Also gotta love his unflagging commitment to DIY over spending a bunch of money. Never thought I'd find myself absorbed in a video of a dude wiring up a trailer, but here I am, neglecting my own chores to tune in.
That was an old collectible tractor. Not many around like that anymore. If you are mechanically inclined and good with restoration projects that tractor would be worth tens of thousands. The guy actually stole it for $260.
Sam, I think those studs you cut off the trailer were for a spare tire. Rather than cut them off you could’ve added a tire.Hopefully no big deal. Great progress!!!!!!
More than anything Sam, you are motivating me to get things done, immediately. Have not always been good at that. That is your greatest lesson to all of us. And your efforts are towards the most rewarding of ends: cruising the world solo. It’s all about a goal I see.
Sam, my two friends and i have a cape dory 28 up here in brooklyn and have been keeping tabs on your progress. we are concerned you might be headed for a mosquito coast or heart of darkness situation. Stay focused! We need to cross an ocean!
Your channel gets better every week. Informative, instructive without all the pretense of a network or cable channel. Make do with what you got! Love watching. Thanks for sharing.
Always amazing. One handed work, handles stressful situations with calm, never intimidated by any project or sail and proably the most shocking of all- Sam just drops Twin Brother like its nothing. Hilarious. I thought I have been following along closely. How did I miss this?
Once you start down the dark home renovation path, forever shall it dominate your destiny. ;-) But really it's looking amazing. I bought a cheap property in Florida for a similar workshop area. Hopefully we can both get off the dirt and back on the water. All my best.
That's great somebody paid you to take the tractor, definitely a "one man's trash is another man's treasure" situation. I hope the guy enjoys it and good for you on getting it out of there...
Workshop is looking good! You are quite skilled at fixing just about anything. You should have tried to fix the little tractor. it might have been fun.
Hey Sam, I think getting some steel toed boots for wearing in the shop would be a good idea. They sure help for when you drop a wrench. Keep up the great work.
Sam, looks great!!!! Best piece of advice to the viewers...Pex!!! Advice that I would handout at one of the Ace Stores that we had in DC!!! Nice reclaim on the property.

Good show, Put a p trap under the sink though to prevent smell / back gassing
It just runs out into the yard lol
It could prevent bugs/critters/mice/drafts from coming into the kitchen. Love the video. Keep them coming.
@@samholmessailing you need it also to keep roaches out. They LOVE kitchen sinks and their drains
I’d also agree; you definitely need a p trap under the sink. It’s not a big deal to install but will make a difference
@@samholmessailing of course it does! This is Sam Holmes Remodeling! Great stuff!
Wtf, how can this be the first time I heard about a twin brother??
I know!. I have been watching for a year and all of the sudden Sam has an evil twin (not evil). This reminds me of a soap opera plot, now I am hooked for life.
i had a good friend of mine who had a twin sister which i first heard off after 10 years of friendship :D

Save the squirrel fan from the furnace. If it works, it will make a great exhaust fan for spray painting
"Time to take another load of toilets to the dump"
For me, it's always the reverse!
Taking old dumpers to the dump.
Or taking a dump to the toilet🤪
That's not a sentence I thought I'd hear today.
Sam, it doesn't matter if you're show is about sailing, but how cool is it to have your own work shop? I wish I had a work shop like that. 😎
I don't really have any interest in sailing...
But I love your persona! Keep kicking butt and making that workshop a home!
Save the furnace blower motor and squirrel cage, they make for great dust collectors.
You’re doing a great job there, Sam. Be careful you don’t overdo it and delay your recovery.
😀👋🇨🇦👍
Good to see Zoey around. Please do an update on your surgery Sam, I know many of us are concerned and keep you in constant thoughts and prayers.
I love how frugal and resourceful you are.
you're such a good natured bad ass, in that compared to me, when I go to fix something, I usually make it worse and break something else in the process. I'm smarter now, pay the person who can
no, keep at it until you can do it

Yea , wheel bearings for sure. Especially after cutting off the spare tire holder bolts too .... lol
Sam is the Best !!
Praying for your health Sam...
❤💥❤💥❤
God bless you in JESUS mighty name...
Should definitely do a tour of the workshop after each video. Seems like a lot of good progress. Love the content!
It’s always great to see when you’ve uploaded a new video! I hope you’re feeling well.
i still cant understand why i like these vids of this random sailor clean up an old house...
Love this. "OK re-did the wiring on the compressor. Let's see of this works!" CUT TO: "OK. I am replacing the switch on my compressor...."
Been there, done that.
i really want more of this type of stuff from you, especially the progress of the living situation lol
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Not about sailing but that doesn’t matter. It’s about the enjoyment. Keep them coming.
You are fearless my friend. Good to see Zoe helping.
We need a whole walk around now that you have cleaned the place up so much... It's looking great and yes Pex is the way to go on water lines...
yeah, i'm looking at the pvc (which isn't supposed to have potable water) and thinking, Pex would make this so easy.
@@JK-allday I have tried them all and Pex is by far the easiest it's literally just cut and push together and best part I have not had one leak yet. Good luck sir..

Sam! Wear your safety glasses when using your compressor and power tools. Save your eyes for sailing brother!
“Let me just take this door out...there we go.” 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh, you’re remarkable ! Go Sam!
Good job Sam.

he had purple PVC primer
@@JK-allday Didnt know if that was his glue.
Plumb with copper pipe, it's so easy. As long as your joints are clean and hot when soldering they'll work.
Your channel is my favorite on TH-cam right now, I am so excited to see you conquer the Atlantic and everything after. Even love see you fixing up this property. You have such an awesome outlook and I love the way you live your life. Thank you for continue to entertain us!
Loving the workshop reno...you got a diamond in the rough, keep putting love into her...great investment!
Dam your girl is back. She's nice
A trailer and small car is so much more pleasant than having a pickup. I’ve had both, and my little Northern Tool trailer and Subaru did everything I needed.
i did not expect land life to be more interesting than sailing. This really inspires me to pursue fun stuff.
I love it! I am constantly "Camping Out" in, on or around my projects/work sites. Check out some local flooring suppliers or their installers. A bit of carpet remnant makes for a cozy feel at the end of a hard day.
I love this channel and I love how you take everyone’s shit and make it your own.
Nice work, if its in your budget, I'd frame out and insulate that bedroom area for warmth.
I swear, I'd watch a video of Sam watching TV and eating Doritos. He's got such a great presentation style that every little chore becomes fascinating.

You are amazing Sam ! Your love for life and easy going attitude should be a lesson for all of your viewers
My man living the dream. The personal workshop is pretty awesome.
You’re just sailing through that renovation.
I cannot believe that you got $260 for that tractor. You did very well there man.
It was a hot item. I listed it for $500 and got 4 people come check it out!
That was an old collectible tractor. Not many around like that anymore. If you are mechanically inclined and good with restoration projects that tractor would be worth tens of thousands. The guy actually stole it for $260.
Why am i enjoying these Workshop vids so much?
Sam, I think those studs you cut off the trailer were for a spare tire. Rather than cut them off you could’ve added a tire.Hopefully no big deal. Great progress!!!!!!
Doh 😣, well ive got a welder...
@@samholmessailing Put a u-shaped bolt on the trailer tongue for the spare tire.
Love your videos Sam, you're helping me keep sane my dude. Keep sailin!! Keep building!!
Key to PVC is bevel edges before inserting and twist 90 degrees. Bevel is so hard edge doesn't scrape all the glue out of the coupling
Good job Sam. I like how you just dive in and learn as you go.
Dude, you really know how to get shit done. Inspiring.
More than anything Sam, you are motivating me to get things done, immediately. Have not always been good at that. That is your greatest lesson to all of us. And your efforts are towards the most rewarding of ends: cruising the world solo. It’s all about a goal I see.
You are the definition of “DIY”!
You have a twin bother, Paul. Good to know if I happen to walk into him in Durham thinking it was you. Having quality dependable help is a blessing!
Sam, my two friends and i have a cape dory 28 up here in brooklyn and have been keeping tabs on your progress. we are concerned you might be headed for a mosquito coast or heart of darkness situation. Stay focused! We need to cross an ocean!
That place is going to be a great man cave!
Those 2 studs you cut off are where the spare tire should bolt on to the trailer
Your channel gets better every week. Informative, instructive without all the pretense of a network or cable channel. Make do with what you got! Love watching. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet little land base coming together Sam! Hope you’re feeling well.
Maybe worry about the electrical panel above the sink first 😱
One splash or even a cloud of vapor from a sinkful of hot water could = ⚡🔥
Always amazing. One handed work, handles stressful situations with calm, never intimidated by any project or sail and proably the most shocking of all- Sam just drops Twin Brother like its nothing. Hilarious. I thought I have been following along closely. How did I miss this?
Nice to see your getting a little help getting things together.
Excited to see more DIY on the work shop/
home. We are taking notes so we can follow in your footsteps. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.
Love your attack at all the problems. Ground up, good ideas. You should keep the place as home base. Good job, man!
Hey man I doubt you'll see this but I really love you videos!
Thanks, i read all the comments 😉 ...some of the time.
I liked that old tractor.
You can rig up a break in alarm using a clothes pin switch real cheap
Man, your skills are impressive...Nice going Sam...
Recommend a bigger older band saw over a table saw. Get a track saw or track for your little skillsaw then you wont miss a table saw
You seem like the nicest guy ever !!
It’s coming together!
I love that your workshop is a treasure trove of convenient items
i feel so productive watching these
I feel like a sloth watchin this !😦
Totally impressed, totally
Great job with your new space. Good project. You've got a keen eye for good value.
Once you start down the dark home renovation path, forever shall it dominate your destiny. ;-) But really it's looking amazing. I bought a cheap property in Florida for a similar workshop area. Hopefully we can both get off the dirt and back on the water. All my best.
Sam ~ You’re 1 smart inventor!!
Very nice Sam . The shop is a great space lots of possibilities
That's great somebody paid you to take the tractor, definitely a "one man's trash is another man's treasure" situation. I hope the guy enjoys it and good for you on getting it out of there...
A man of many skills
Maybe a tall tripod for the camera in the workshop to make filming easier?
Great video as always Sam! Really enjoying seeing the workshop come along
Get'er done.......That squirrel cage fan would make a good fan
loved seeing it kinda coming together now
Workshop is looking good! You are quite skilled at fixing just about anything. You should have tried to fix the little tractor. it might have been fun.
Sam>>>>>>>>safety glasses is a must!
LOL, seeing is way overrated...
Great job, very creative. Kudos.
Your mom is probably loving having you so close for awhile. loving the workshop videos!
Great investment! This property is gaining value fast.
Hey Sam, I think getting some steel toed boots for wearing in the shop would be a good idea. They sure help for when you drop a wrench. Keep up the great work.
Con Job that was needlessly negative
@Con Job You were probably dropped on your head when you were little.
Sam, looks great!!!! Best piece of advice to the viewers...Pex!!! Advice that I would handout at one of the Ace Stores that we had in DC!!! Nice reclaim on the property.
LOVE the workshop repair/renovation videos. Very cool!
If there is one near you Habitat for Humanity's ReStores can be goldmines for tools and materials!
Lots of work done Sam! Congratulations!
Dude this is like the best channel out there man
Great episode! Love the new home you're building. Why not dig a big hole and bury some of the junk, make a berm
Won't be long and you will be living in the lap of luxury Buddy looks great
Bravo Sam!
Very nice Sam! Glad you were able to score the place.
