Thank you to everyone who watched the video! I really have the best audience on TH-cam!
Would you have to dig more of the basement to make it to where it's not to close to the main deck? Or would you leave the height as is?
You are destroying so much good lumber by cutting it that way.
I’m really enjoying your work. The cabin is going to turn out beautiful. I’m especially looking forward to the porch rebuild. Bonus points for Max.
@@thepickledfish3631 I was about to comment the same thing but you can see it's full of nails from the lath.
Even an old cabin that you/your family has neglected can't escape garbage open concept.
Hey man. Musician and instrument lover here, I’ve seen that piano in a few of your videos and I beg you not to throw it away. It’s probably over a hundred years old, just like the house, which makes it very valuable as an antique. It’s in very bad condition but I’m certain that there are piano technicians wherever you are, who are willing to restore it. Please send it to a piano service for the sake of preserving a piece of music history.
Old pianos are generally worthless unless in tune. I agree though, I couldn't bring myself to throw it away, butgiven how much of the fabric of the house this guy has ripped out, he probably is not of the same mind(?)
@@dcan911 i dont think thats true, if he was going to scrap the piano he wouldve done it already its quite in the way of the work theyre doing but he moves it anyway
I don’t think he gonna scrap it. It would of already been in the back of the his dump truck with the rest of the interior of the house. If anything he would probably put it up on FB Market
Mack seems to enjoy being a part of the crew. He will enjoy the place when it is complete again. Terrific job guys & I am proud that you made your pet feel that he was part of it all.
Yes! Whoever gets hands on that piano for restauration it needs to be on camera for us to see, that would be highly appreciated!
I love that you're not trying to turn this into some modern box like all the others out there. You're maintaining the historical integrity while making it safe and liveable. Bravo
I love the older homes, keeping the bones of it and the shell...Unlike some of the early house that used asbestos in them, and on them. Glad he didnt run into that issue. But yes, I agree that the OLDER HOMES are not falling down/in on the owners for just after 2 decades/sometimes withing 5 years....
Yes I hate that when people don't keep that look especially when they tear out all the all the wood burning fireplaces to where there's no chimney and they replace them with what I call a gas heater
Loved the occasional "IDIOT!" and then later "...hit it together!" - that's how friends work.
😂 we have a lot of fun working together. I’m very thankful for all of his help
I normally don't like videos that run over 30 mins but I am completely sold on this series. I cannot wait to see the end result. I have enjoyed every video so far.
Thank you
Normally me too. I just watched these first 4 videos in one go. I really hope the piano stays and maybe gets restored as a nice relict of the house :)
Hahaha, I bet you don't watch porn either. Hahaha hahaha
Max was so cute when he first saw the whole floor missing🥹
He was so concerned lol
99 Projects...your old abandoned cabin purchase and restoration project video is GOOD STUFF...it's cool, unique, interesting, enjoyable and entertaining all at the same time. The comments tell the story, people are REALLY INTO this project of yours and video series, myself, my family and friends included. This video had nearly 1000 views in 39 minutes after you posted it IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON A FRIDAY NIGHT GOING INTO SATURDAY MORNING...that says a lot about how much people like seeing you working on this project. ;) 👍🎯💯
Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback, it’s great to hear. I’m glad you guys enjoy the video! It’s really cool that your whole family and friends watch it
9am when it dropped here :D
I 2nd what he said. I just cnt get enough of ur channel and content. The guy helping you is a true friend/brother. There's not many people left n this world tht r like tht. I absolutely LOVE ur channel. Will b waiting for the next one. Fan/subscriber from Arkansas
А я смотрю из России, мне тоже нравится твой канал и работа которой вы занимаетесь. А еще я обожаю вашего Макса.
Ligger i ordentlig influensa och "trillade" in på ditt bygge. Så detta är mitt sätt att låta tiden gå plus att ditt bygge är väldigt intressant att se på. Ska bli kul att se hur allt blir det är klart. 😊
My parents bought an old farm that had been given to a confederate solder the cabin still stood in about the same condition as yours-I added a bathroom installed running water kitchen cabinets and tried to finish the walls in the only bedroom the fireplace was in good shape then we had it wired took me 3 years my hats off to you guys for getting so much done good luck I will keep watching
Rehabbing is a huge project, thanks for watching
unless timber is rotten,always take care cuttingmin as long lengths,,so you can re use over years you will save a fortune❤
I was cringing as he was cutting those rough cut wall studs. Really nice looking lumber.
@@ladyco4395 Me too. They don't make full size 2x4's from old growth lumber any more.
@@ladyco4395 I was thinking that it was such a waste to cut right through the center of those long boards. Could have used it for just about anything else.
I can't believe how much good, original material he has just thrown away. I'd argue he could have saved much of the original plaster walls. At least he is saving the house, but it does make me wince a little bit...
Or sell it. There are people who buy old wood; lumber and furniture and even logs. That stuff is worth some money. Lots of that old dimensional lumber is heart pine.
It is a shame you couldn’t save more of that flooring . I bet after you put a sander to it, it is absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to see what you do with the stuff you did save.
I agree but I want it done right too. I saved a bunch and have some cool ideas for it
@@99Projects totally understand. To pull it up without damaging it and having enough usable pieces to finish what you plan can get you into trouble. I can’t wait to see what you have in mind.
1) I'm LOVING the open floor plan you've got going on.
2) Your puppy was so confused about how you were walking on nothing.
3) You are a lot braver than I am, even standing on those stairs, let alone WALKING on them!
4) LET THERE BE LIGHT! *thumbs up while not stopping sawing*
5) Your local Lowe's crew is going to be on a first-name basis with both of you before the end of Spring.
6) The buddy you've got helping you with is is the kind of friend we all need: able to help out, but will still give you unending amounts of grief when things go sideways.
7) PUPPY!!! OMG THE HAPPY PUPPY!!
8) OMG THERE'S TWO PUPPIES!!!
9) *random screaming in the background*
10) *up, no down, no up, no back down, measure, down, back up, back down, measure a couple more times, back up, back down*
11) "I've got you in my crosshairs." -- "I've got a chainsaw."
12) Pivot. Pivot. PIVOT!
13) More stairs phobia activation. Now with ptophobia! *Bet everyone who reads this has to look that up.*
14) Getting wood stuck, but not like that.
15) GIVE MAX A COOKIE, YOU MONSTER!!
16) Floor needs an inspection. -- "Yep, that's a floor."
17) Raised the ceiling vs RAISE DA ROOF!
18) "I want to carefully take these brackets off." *Uses the shovel of the backhoe to rip it off*
19) *Every person over the age 0f 25 starts having flashbacks to Final Destination 2*
20) Honestly, the most wholesome reasoning for cleaning up after yourself. Bravo. Folks should really pay attention to this part.
My grandad had to cut down this huge tree and even after losing that glorious shade tree he made tables for drinks,checkers,painting,Gram a pie cooling table,coffee table and more! You two are a wonderful team! The house is getting there!
Your granddad sounds like a gem. So nice 😊
The $200.00 pull behind trailer is the best part. lol. " Ohhh, I see. All these crappy welds. That's why it fell apart. This wasn't built right." And the logs that fell off while going to the burn pile was a good one too. Great videos. I'm invested till the end now. Ughh...
Thanks for watching, the trailer is nice to have but it makes for some funny scenes
Add a trap door to the sistern for a secret safe room. Love your videos. You’re doing a great job!
I am a 62 year old woman, and I love watching your channel. Thanks for sharing!
I'm a 66 year old woman! Love watching it.
65 here watching too lol
I really appreciate your commitment to reuse and repair throughout this project. Also that your keep your worksite so clean. Love your furry inspector. Give him a. Cookie! He doesn't care what the Internet says 😂
No he doesn’t care lol
Chairs? Use those large stumps and chainsaw a rustic bench seat with a back . It would be good use of these large, beautiful pieces of wood plus they would be a lot nicer to look at then plastic chairs.
That would make 100 projects so I totally understand if you don't use this suggestion.
I love what you two have achieved so far and enjoy the banter.
Cheers from Vancouver, Canada.
Screws are better for holding and preventing squeeking when you walk on it. Nails eventually begin to work their way out.
Nothing like hitting a uprooted NAIL on a deck between your toes...ripping it deep and serious...DECK Screws are the best....time consuming, but you run less risk of those injuries....and they HURT oh so they hurt.
I’m not going to lie, there was several times when my sphincter tightened up when you were cutting out beams. As time went on I realized that you had an idea what you were doing and then you glued and screwed the whole floor and now I know you know EXACTLY what you are doing. I look forward to seeing the next episode. Be blessed sir.
Thank you
Me too, I was very nervous a few x
Great seeing that someone younger saving something that's old instead of tearing it down
Just one hour after this video was released (in the middle of the night across America time wise) it had 1353 views and climbing fast...that's pretty good for a channel this size! This project is popular with people. ;)
I like your story line lol yea it’s crazy to see. I have the best audience
From around the world. That’s impressive!
I forgot to say that the Max segments were highly appreciated! He is a good boi :)
No Doubt.... The hardest working guys in New York.
I'm really enjoying this restoration project... and BUDDY! He's the star of the show! Thanks for the upload!!
I love watching. This brings back memories of the place I grew up in and the farm I live on now. My father redid both 1800's places. The farm house still has rock and trees as beams in the basement. The barn is all mortise and tenon joints. When I go in the hay loft, it takes my breath away to see how well it was constructed without nails. I imagine the men shaving the trees to take the bark off for beams.
They knew how to build stuff back then
That square structure looks like a cistern, back in the day it was nice have water for washing up in the morning, making coffee and homemade biscuits without having to hand pump water from a deep well.
Are you going to re-use that cistern? So cool to see that and cisterns are commonly used in the Middle East even today!
@@davesantimaw5413 I've never seen one attached to the fireplace like that, must have been to keep your water from freezing in the winter months.
I came here to see if he explained his plans for it
@@user-fv6on2pz5c Many times they had an indoor well at the sink board, unsure how they filled the cistern .. see that dark wood in the upper floor, these old homes were hotboxes in summer, had wood stove/fireplace for heat, he has major challenges ahead to transform this into livable space, the cistern probably being way down on the list.
Hey, I am from Germany. I love your Dog, your House, your project. Nice work.. Top.
Thank you
@@99Projects oh I thank you. It's nice to see your videos. So much love for the house and the work. I love it so much.
@@olafrojek1593 I’m really glad you enjoy the videos
Hello, just subbed to your channel. Love max, and watching you do projects like this.
I have been a carpenter for 30 years and everything you are doing is just right. Good job!!! I can't wait to see how it ends up.God bless you and your family my friend.
Using synthetic winch rope to replace the pull-start rope on that engine was a good idea, you have a smart/common sense buddy. Solving problems and improving tools, equipment, rigs and so on is an opportunity, it's helpful and it's wise. ;)
Yea I thought that was a great idea
@@99Projects Conversely, with a very small amount of modification, you could just remove the pull-start assembly, and start the engine with any cordless drill, then you'd never need to worry about the rope breaking ever again. The only downside to that, is if you find yourself in a situation where you don't have a cordless drill available.
@@numberyellow no don’t do that lol my buddy tried that on a mini bike motor and now the mini bike has a new motor
@@99Projects Got the idea from Todd over at project farm. He's been starting his lawnmowers like that for years, lol
Maybe it's to do with the type of engine ::shrug::
It is easy to criticize someone on the internet. The strange part about that is that those criticizing someone took the time to record, document and then share it to the world, they would likely become the criticized for one reason or another. After having done a few rehabs myself, I probably would have done a couple things differently than you have chosen. But at the end of the day, I am also learning things from you that I could potentially apply the next time I have a rehab project. We all learn lessons on what to do and not what to do by watching others. Keep it up brother, ignore the haters and do your thing!!!
Yep, Haters gonna hate! Lol! Rolling on!😂➡️
Inspector Max is adorable and deserves all the cookies he can get! But I truly think that he thinks you're nuts!! You guys make it work and props to all y'all cause this will be awesome but the mom/grandma in me says stay safe and be careful guys!!
Love seeing that house come back to life. You are restoring a good home to life.
A possibility for the old flooring is to glue the pieces together (like a floor) and turn it into a table/coffee table/chairs and such, so that way you have that piece of history with you all the time in your renovated home
I have a few ideas for the flooring I saved, but that’s classified lol
@99Projects, a big, sturdy, hardwood kitchen/dining table crafted out of the old flooring from the building itself would be pretty damn cool.
@@moparman1962my vote is the kitchen cabinets from the old floor
I also want to add that you could use them for a headboard/footboard…Im sure whatever you use them for will turn out fantastic!
@@Truecrimejunky another good idea, or shutters for the windows, but I think we’re running out of floor now lol
My man, my wife and I stumbled across your channel. We appreciate your work on the cabin and we're totally bought in on the project! We're both hard working types and we like to see those who aren't willing to give up easily! Keep it up, and we can't wait to see how it turns out.
Thank you for your comment
Thank you so much for restoring this old house. I Love old houses. If I could buy a house it would be an old house because there built much better then new ones. Again thank you.
The prevous owner must have loved this cabin so much & filled it with melodious piano music 🎹🎤🎼🎧
We've been remodeling our 1940's house on our days off from work. It's a tremendous amount of work redoing floors, that's mainly what we've been doing so far, and a little bit of framing and lots of drywall. The cabin is coming along great! Keep up the good work
It almost feels like I’m part of the project.
Keep up the good work!!
I love this cabin project so much!!!!!! Your dog 100% thinks you’re absolutely nuts and I love it!!!
The thing that amuses me most about your work relationship is you two are in sync after (I'm sure) many discussions about how this is going to be done and NO arguments (at least not on screen) and still you have fun together and can laugh. Keep on keeping your sense of humor & stay warm. I am looking forward to the finish and the "surprise" you plan with the old floorboards.
We’ve been friends for 25 years. We work pretty well together, don’t have to talk much to get a lot done. I greatly appreciate having him help
@@99Projects Truly, that brother from another mother.... glad you have him.
I follow this series religiously. I love the rythm of the videos. Normal then speed up portions then bits of quiet when you decompress. My fear of heights would make working on literal floating boards rather nightmarish. I keep loving the interior of this house a lot. Take care of your health people & furry friends. 💙 from France.
I'm so invested in this cabin. I can't wait to see how it turns out ❤
This project replacing the floor was excellent and deserves two 👍👍up
Tip for your pull cord, i found that metal garage door cables worked well on my old 3 wheelers and didn't break. Try it out sometime!
I'm so glad I came across your videos and I'm really enjoying them. Thanks for taking the time to make them and share them with us. I hope you take those old shoes you found and place them back into the walls when you start rebuilding. For some reason in the 18th and 19th centuries people put shoes into the walls of the houses they built in order to ward off evil spirits. I think those shoes were put there on purpose and it would be a nice sign to put them right back!
I enjoy this whole process so far, but this one here just hit different. I can only guess it is because for me this video showed some real progress. Well done looking forward to many more and eventually the end result.
Glad you enjoyed it
I live in the UK it’s very interesting to watch the work you’re doing and as you said for an old house built 100 and odd years ago it’s in remarkable condition
I’m so glad that you guys used screws everywhere on everything, it’ll last so much longer and not budge! Awesome work! 🎉❤
You guys are doing great...Don't forget closet space!!
Back in the day, they used hooks and wardrobes. It would be awesome once the house is done to furnish it with period furniture. It would be beautiful, too.
Insane amount of work. I cannot wait to see the finished results. You are impressive with everything you can get done and know. I also like how you talk about it being built to last. I remodeled my enitre hom 3 years ago. I cut no corners and everything was done with quality.
That's the way things should be done! It's good to hear from others who think along these lines.
A job worth doing is a job worth doing right.
Hope your dog didn't step on anything sharp. Just saw you had an old piano. Inside them is the soundboard, usually made of iron, looks kind of like a harp. They can have casting info, like location and date - pretty cool looking. I've seen people make tables, yard are, etc. Just in case you want to get up to 100 projects..
I can’t be the only one cringing at him cutting through the center of perfectly good wood 😳😱
From what I googled, apparently burying a shoe in the wall near a door or window was supposed to help ward off evil spirits or demons from entering your home. Also, really hope you find someone who will restore that piano, it looks like a great piece.
I'm really enjoying watching the way you're repairing and remodeling while trying to keep what you can. You're absolutely right about homes being built to save on cost rather than being built to last. Lumber alone isn't even grown the way it used to be, so even if boards were cut to the same size, they're just weaker. Keep up the great job, and give Max lots of pets from me and my pack!
Correct my friend your doing excellent job I can't wait to see the Finnished house
Would maybe be good to put a trap door into that little stone box. Could use it as a cellar or storage area!
Saw someone else mention this but figured I should also repeat it to up its likelihood of being seen: if you still have any of the rough cut wooden structural beams that aren’t rotten, keep them. You will need them for framing windows and such.
It makes me so happy to see someone bringing old houses back to life! It's something I'd love to do to a house for me to live in, if I had infinite money lol
I do this crap for a living. Torn out more pilaster than I care to remember. Still love watching these videos even after a long days work myself. Thank you , keep up the good work. I am sure you have no problems sleeping at night.
Give max a cookie poor big guy he works so hard 😊
Screws are the best, I'm a contractor and always use screws over nails especially in remodels. Of course people will say nails are faster which they are but not when your remodeling a old building.
Great work. Love that box bay on the second floor and hope you keep it and incorporate it in the design. As a retired custom builder, I always tried to blend the old with the new when doing a rehab. When people see it, they'll feel that connection to history.
This is the exciting part …. Watching being reborn… doing a great job all the best from the UK
That dog walks around like he is the supervisor.
He’s in charge
Gluing and screwing the floor decking down is way better than just nailing it. Floor will not squeak when walking around the room. Same always need to be done on stair treads material.
Stumbled across your channel and so glad I did!
I love all things construction/renovation and restoration. Especially turn of the century homes.
I formerly owned a home built in the 1930’s, so I understand the challenges. And yes, they sure were built to last.
Great job on the restoration thus far! Can’t wait to see the finished project.
I also see that old piano and the wood on it looked good. I wouldn't throw it away. If you were maybe you could use the wood somewhere in the house. Would look fantastic
Doggo is absolute UNIT. He's so precious and I love seeing him exploring and supervising during all these vids. They're already awesome but he makes them 1000xs better :)
Thank you
It’d honestly be really cool if you restor that old fireplace looks like it would be a nostalgic job to look back at when sitting in front of it
Glad to see the channel getting some serious views! People seem to really like the cabin. First episode over 2.6 MILLION VIEWS! WOW!! Congratulations!
It’s crazy, thank yiu
Love watching you guys build new out if the old ... Can't wait to see more from a old granny in northern California..
I'm glad you are keeping your content family friendly. You're doing a great job.
Awesome video. I cannot believe how much work you have done on this cabin. It is really coming along. Good job!
Thanks a bunch!
its hard to renovate than to build a new one, very risky and dangerous to you, be safe and God bless😊
Another great video, guys. I'll be anxiously awaiting the next episode for this lovely abode. You're making your mommas proud. Thank God Max was there to make sure you did everything the right way. hehehehe I also love your philosophy to build for longevity and not based on what's cheapest, because you're right, the original builders built for strength and stability of the home...not how cheaply they could do it for. That's the way they thought back them.....basically, if you have the money to build it twice, you have the money to do it right the first time.....and that's exactly what YOU did. This cabin will probably stand for at least another 100 years. Be proud of yourself. Your honor and integrity are inarguable and there for all to see. Until next time.....see ya 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
Hubby and I stumbled upon this series today and watched all 4 episodes of the cabin and look forward to more! Not only is the project fascinating there is a lot of character and humour as well! Good stuff 🎉
Thank you guys for watching! im glad you enjoyed it, new video coming out this weekend hopefully
I found you today I love watching people build houses! Your doing a fantastic job! Can't wait to see it finished.
I'm a self proclaimed semi-professional-amateur TH-cam watcher. Got to admit...typically not a huge fan of the long episodes. But you make it work! Love it! Editing, content, humor just makes it happen. Frick'n love your channel!
Well thank you. I’m glad you enjoy them
when it comes to nails and screws, it's not about which one pulls out easier. It's about which will have give when the house moves over time and which will snap when the house moves over time. The nail will give allowing the house to move where the screw will snap when the house moves over time. soooo, that's why you want to use nails and not screws. I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to enjoy the video. looks good man. you mentioned earlier in the video that new houses are falling apart more than older homes. this may be a big reason to why. also material just isn't what it used to be. many factors come into play when comparing old to new.
I’ve been bingeing this tonight. Nice job on leveling door frames. It’s crazy how accurate you have to be to hang a door correctly. Why didn’t you check level on all floor joists-because the four sides were level? Dog is so sweet and smart!
I have to say what a Awesome Dog of yours, he is incredable.
LOLOLOL It looks like an archeological dig. hehehehe I hope you put in sinks, tubs, toilets, etc.....that might be period appropriate for when the cabin was built. That'd be soooooo cool! And thank you for making sure Max made an appearance. I look for him in these videos. He's the star of the show. You couldn't get this done without him.
My current home was built in 1959. We demoed a closet. I kept the wood. Genuine 2x4's
Great Channel!
New Subscriber!!
Former General Contractor / Engineer, smart move on your part to completely gut the cabin.
I had a 1968 Chevy Dump Truck, great truck, still running!
I loved my old Chevy dump truck. Wish I still had that one
You guys are very intelligent hard working young men. Excellent video. God bless both of you.
I have to say, I'm pretty advanced on home building and repairs, but I still am learning little tricks from you guys..thanks
Love the progress !!!! GET RID OF THE PIANO MAN 🤣 “ I expected more out of this “ referring to the $200 trailer 🤣🤣
😂 I know. I just keep moving it around
Keep the piano please!
You should make sure you keep the doors locked when you are not there, just in case someone breaks in and tidies the place up for you 🙂That Sawsall I think it is called did a heck of a job on the floor, it was interesting to see the cross layer boards, must have made a fantastically solid floor, even with those rotten joists. Amazing to see the progress you are making.
You two work well together. It's almost like you've done it before.
Great progress. ( This is unrelated to the floors ) but if your keeping parts of the stone foundation I’d recommend repointing the stone walls if needed later on.
Yep I will be
Really interested to see what you do with the cistern, fireplace, and piano
Max is great. He is huge. Best supervisor ever
For some reason, this series reminds me of my father-in-law. Absolutely fearless and tireless. He would've torn into this right next to you. I miss him.
Hope you remove that exterior chimney for an interior one. Keeps the heat inside and it’s easier to light a fire.
Back in the early 80's my wife and I bought an old Grange hall on 2 acres for 8 grand. We tore out the entire floor.
We did salvage all of the pine T&G floorboards. The 'joists' were logs flattened on one side. WE saved what we could, but we needed to rebuild the entire floor system. Sometimes you can't save it all. later we reinstalled the T&G floorboards and sanded them smooth. Came out nice. The Grange was built during the Lincoln Administration.
That’s awesome
You'll be able to fix it and make it better
Coming along nicely. But bending and side force nails are better.hit a screw back and forth I bet it snaps,hit a nail back forth bet it will just bend.pulling out wise screws is the way to go 😉
Keep up the good work btw the mess in the basement is driving me nuts😂😂 and I’m a electrician so I never clean up 🤣
Food for thought put a hole in the bucket of the skid steer that way you can hook up a tow ball when moving trailers.
Great video, well worth the wait! Good work, gentleman!
Loving this! Thanks for sharing
Love these videos! So awesome and unbelievable job on this dilapidated historical cabin. Just WOW!
