@@rjgaynor8 Yeah sure because how you raise your daughter is going to influence everyone else that she will encounter when she starts going out into the world. Raise your daughter right and there'll be no such thing as muggers (or worse) and everyone will drive safely right? Can I come and move into your world please? Where I live when your daughter goes out for a night you're hoping and praying that she'll make it home safe. My lassie starts college in September. I'm going nuts with worry. Every other day here in Ireland the tv news is broadcasting "another woman murdered today". So you can put that in your sanctimonious pipe and smoke it.
Moving that furnace to the attic is golden, so much space saved, plus all new ducting to make the system more efficient. Love the construction stuff as much as the woodworking stuff.
Congrats, Luis! Tip for the new parents: SLEEP WHENEVER YOU CAN. The baby is asleep? You sleep too. The both of you are exhausted? One takes a nap, the other watches the kid, then you switch shifts. And if you can, have family members take the kiddo for a night so you can get a full night's rest whenever you can. Trust me on this, sleeping wherever, whenever (Except when you're driving!) is the best skill to learn when you're a new parent. Also, if you're still accepting gifts for the new baby, tell everyone you want prepaid gift cards. Getting things in certain sizes guarantees that you'll end up throwing out something because the kiddo has already grown out of that size.
If you're nursing it can take a long time before the kid can sleepover somewhere else. I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and we just had our first night kid free since the oldest was born.
@@titosrevenger - I remember my SIL often being in some discomfort if my niece hadn't fed in a while, so I think a breast pump should be considered an essential bit of kit even for a stay at home mum - anything to make those first few months easier is a good thing. For the benefit of anyone who might not be aware, there are now pumps on the market designed by mums, making them easier and more comfortable to use. Look for those made by femtech companies owned and run by women.
Parenting newborns is 90% sleep management for sure! We put a bed in beside the crib, then took turns sleeping there. This way we always had one of us to keep our eyes on the baby, and the other got to close the door and sleep without worry for the night.
Michael, if you're interested in seeing a new roof deck spray foam install in person, let me know. I just had my new garage attic done two weeks ago and live in the same part of the city as you. I'm happy to share the details of what I paid, the vendor I used, etc offline. The progress on the house looks good, keep it up!
I've always hated attic hatches in closets. I get the inclination, but it's so ridiculous. Big proponent of putting access in a hallway where there's room for a good sized hatch and you don't have to completely empty your closet every time you want to get up there. I'm really enjoying this series. It's clear that you put time and consideration into everything that you do, and take real pride in the work.
Nothing's ever simple, especially after 60 years, but it's beginning to really take shape now. Congratulations to Luis. May your futures be bright and full of love.
3:13 seems like that's your problem as far as water intrusion is concerned. No flashing at the interface between the brick and the wood siding. (You might mention this later in the video, just making the comment as soon as I saw it).
Congratulations Luis! It’s the hardest yet most rewarding job you’ll ever have. Enjoy every single moment as they grow so quick. Michael, enjoying the house reno and I’m sure they always will pull in tons of newer viewers.

Today is Father's Day here in Brazil so double congrats Luis!! 🎉
@Michael, I like the footage of the masonry work. I shared on my community page and my Facebook to see how much support my tiny community would muster. I'm ok with that because I dont think a whole lot of my subscribers read my community post😊 and I'm getting over my fears of being in social media😅
Man, watching this series reminds me so much of watching This Old House as a kid with my grandpa on Saturday morning. I am not handy AT ALL, but I run and watch every new video you put out! Big fan!
Congratulations to Luis and his family on their new living addition. May your baby grow up healthy and loved and a fulfilled individual with many interests and skills. ❤
The popsicle trick was a really nice tip! Here's one from me; if you're looking at a fridge with an icemaker, really get informed on the reliability of those icemakers. I bought a samsung fridge a couple years back and the icemakers in those are (I learned to my expanse later on) absolutely atrocious and break down constantly.
Anyone I've talked to that had Samsung appliances has had issues with them. Samsung makes great electronics, but their appliances are just horrible. lol Don't know why. I went with GE appliances for my kitchen. They're still working great after a few years.
Papa Luis, congrats on the birth of your daughter! How exciting. Michael, this is almost as exciting! The house is really coming along and as a veteran carpenter, you are doing a bang up job!
I'm so relieved. As a framer of 20 years, I feel so intimidated with the shop builds. Watching the repair of rotted stuffs and joists, I'm at home. Suddenly it's just another day at the office. Some day I'll have a shop and room to explore finer wood working. Cheers from the west sound.
Man, when you started, I was convinced that I would have my cabinets in before you... then our house threw up other 'challenges'! Now, having dealt with 'most' of them, I feel like slowing down to see how yours go! Congrats to Luis and best of luck with the rest of the renovation!
Those electrical insulators might have a resale value, I know here in Australia a lot of old farmers are always looking for them to run electric fences. Congrats, Luis and Partner on the new addition to your family.
Luis, Congrats on the new baby girl! Michael, things are really coming together! Can’t wait to see the cabinet build. I know it will all look amazing when it’s done.
Vycore is water proof. The wood will not breath in this area, moisture from the hotter air inside you house will get trapped in this location, eventually leading it to rot again. You need to cover the inside of your house ( the hot side) with water proof material, and the outside with tyvek or similar material, so the wood can breath with the outside air. But I guess that at a time on the future you will replace the outside wall, and then you can add tyvek, and a an inch and a half of airgap to the outside wall. If you get a small leakage with such a construction (in a nasty storm or similar) it dries out before rot and fungus can attack the wood. Love your content! Cheers from Norway!
Regarding attic insulation, Oregon code (and I'm sure Washington too) requires new HVAC to be placed in conditioned space. Your HVAC contractor should know for sure, but your code inspector for your permits (that I hope you applied for before beginning!) will probably call out you need to do full roof insulation as your project is most definitely a "substantial remodel".
It's always the same case everywhere... "we'll just make a closet" or "we'll just do that wall"... And before you know it the entire house is being rebuilt. Same thing here. Our house is over 250 years old and initially my wife just wanted a closet upstairs... We've been at it for over 3 years now and every single room, ceiling and floor is being done. It's part of the game 😋
All the best to you Luis and your partner and new baby 🎉 So good to have have some time to enjoy your new addition, making precious memories. Also, great work on the build, guys. You’ve achieved so much.
Congrats Luis and your wife(didn't catch her name, SORRY!) I like these videos because you don't skimp on the demo footage even if it's sped up. I like to see it because it gives me a better understanding of what to expect when demoing which is usually the unexpected. I like your explanation of what is going on and how you end up with the solution to the little road bumps you come upon. Glad to see you tackling issues as you go along instead of saying "well let's wall it up and deal with it another day". Nope "handle it while we've got it open" is the better route to go. Waiting on the next one!
Thanks for the video. My house is built in 1935 and this videos giving me ptsd of past projects and I just started a kitchen remodel. Scared of what we’re going to find.
Congratulations, Luis and your wife, who did all the hard work 😊. Michael I can't believe just how lucky you are, the house renovation is going unbelievably great and at the moment ZERO problem's or what I'd class as problem's, hence the lucky remark!!!. As a subscriber I really was expecting a video or two since Luis became a dad, but you haven't uploaded anything whatsoever within the past four weeks 🤔. Considering that you were the one who said that you had a few video's ready to upload 😮. That said I do hope that the kitchen cabinets your building are looking good and that we get to see the progress of them or anything else very soon !!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧. P.s. One of the things that alway's stays in your mind is the fact that when my children were babies, I remember that i had many, many drives at really silly times of night especially when they were teething and this was the ONLY thing that we could do to help them to fall asleep!!!. Needless to say driving around at 3am didn't do me any favours with my sleep especially when I was getting up for work at 5am. Luis will quickly find this out 😅😊
I've watched your channel for awhile and enjoyed all of the content. I have to say that popsicle stick template trick is the best thing I've ever seen! thank you for adding a new skill to my toolbox
Hey Michael - just a couple of quick code requirements for your hvac system in the attic. Code requires a permanent light adjacent to the unit with a switch at the ceiling access. Your also required to have a work platform ( i believe it's 32" minimum) in front of the unit. Other than that, keep up the good work.
Congratulations to Luis. Michael, I'm so impressed with how well you are explaining everything you are doing. The detail is fantastic. Also, If you installed the ice maker water shutoff valve directly behind the refrigerator you might consider moving it someplace more accessible. You don't want to have to move the refrigerator in order to turn off that valve.
Congrats to Luis. We will all mourn your sleep and celebrate your family!
The real loss of sleep is when she turns 16!!
@@bluecurlygirl raise them right and you won’t lose any sleep.
