For that window in the shower, try to have the sloped tile over the wall tile, so that the butted grout line is facing into the shower and not up towards the ceiling. It’s less risk of water intrusion at that point.
Scott, I would love to see you buy and renovate a property. Because: a - you and your better half deserve better than a flat, and b: because you would kill that. Cheers, mate!
I restore old cars for fun and have been offered a lot of money to do it professionally. I would never do that as turning a hobby into a job sounds like a nightmare. I suspect Scott is the same, but the other way around - the thought of having to work on his own house after having worked on someone elses is likely depressing. Also, nothing wrong with living in a flat, much less crap to deal with, not sure a house is necessarily better. I live in a a detached house now, thinking of going back to a flat....
If all the construction workers would care about old houses like you do, the world would be a better place. And thanks for all the time consuming video's you make. They are great to watch and very useful.
Scott, this was a very enjoyable series. The quality of your workmanship and production quality of your videos is top notch. I learned a few tricks and know to avoid the Makita coffee maker. Worth a patreon subscription.
I learned to avoid the Makita coffee maker by watching James Hoffman, the Weird Coffee Person, so it's reassuring that Scott as an amateur coffee connoisseur agrees.
Paerau - 100% amazing job on those shelves. The pocket shelving is great, but the reclaimed kitchen ones with the slotting is 10/10 craftsmanship. He always does some of the most underrated work, and with amazing craftsmanship. I thought his bowtie to fix the reclaimed wood in previous episodes was also super on point.
Ima address the white elephant in the room, let's be honest none of this would be possible without Rich...the man,hardest worker,funniest 1 liners,give it up people!! (as per our agreement you owe me a box Rich✌)
Watched this whole series as it came out. Rewatching it and I really love how this renovation comes out. If I hadn't already been hooked on SBC videos this series would have got me 100%
That's a lovely villa. I love old buildings. My flat in Glasgow was built in 1895 and while it needs looking after from time to time there's tons of character.
I'm away for a few years in the UK so its lovely to watch this series and see all my old favourite smoko bakeries especially the french cafe opposite Bunnings. Great work and attention to detail.
I would try to have the shower niche tile run over the wall tile so the grout line isn’t facing ceiling, but rather on the side. Less chance of water intrusion and less chance of that grout line slowly whittling away. Saves you a callback. And you mentioned planing and straightening out the bathroom- does your code allow for the mud lathe method for the shower wall?- (Moisture barrier, stucco lathe with wadded nails, and limed mud?) It is a lot easier to float out and create a straight/plumb wall rather than plane everything. You only lose a 3/4” to 1.5” per wall in the grand scheme of things. Save a lot on labor and save yourself tons of frustration. Nice job!
keeping the style while adding a modern flair takes a deft touch, you and your crew did an awesome job. That is a statement piece for "Scott Brown Carpentry".
What an amazing transformation. Beautiful work and great attention to detail. It would be interesting to hear from the homeowners - would love to understand the thinking behind some of the decisions as well as their budget. Also think they're going to end up regretting that ginormous folding back door - beautiful, but a nightmare to maintain.
Great results! House leveling, small extension/ open plan with big timber bifold doors leading to a new deck outside, new kitchen and bathroom! Just estimating the costs in Auckland to do a reno like this, maybe $300k? But definitely worth it given the house price in Kingsland.
Thanks for the video man. It looks absolutely amazing, please , you guys, keep up the beautiful job that you’re doing. I did my fair share of houses renovation and impossible projects, but the joy and accomplishment at the end of each job, covers the hard work. The memories of those jobs still puts a smile on, every time I remember them. You guys make a good and amazing job!!!!!
Wow it ended up being such a cool mix between old and new. That home is super comfy and now also beautiful again. Got to say though, I expect that weird bathroom window to become an eternal fight against mildew forming
I want to move to NZ just so I can hire you to work on my house. Everything's so carefully thought out and done. I have a hard time trusting workers here when I see how you work in your videos. I wish I could erase all my viewings of your videos from my memory so I can have lower standards to whoever I hire here.
Great work team. When we did our house a few years back we repurposed some pohutukawa that the council were chopping down to make bench seating, shelving and a fire hearth. Beautiful reddy colour and a sense of history as they were originally planted when the house was built.
Hat off to you Scott. Its a tough job being behind the mental work AND the physical work for Renovations like these. I Also Run a Small Reno business and every time i get sick of the day i tell myself "Scott would eat this for breakfast" haha. Good Job. Btw your methods have inspired me to be even neater and have more dust control on my sites.
Great video mate. This type of in depth project wrap up vid is awesome to see - you and Jess are running a professional outfit and this is a great way to showcase your top level work.
Hate NZ current demolish beautiful old houses to put up flats and high rise shit boxes. Love the fact you recycle and take apart with an eye on using later. Shame we are losing so many old houses in Wgtn and Akl . Peter O
Nothing to do with the renovation, but I love seeing the Michael Schwab poster of the Cliff House in San Francisco at 07:57. I am amazed that these posters that we see all over the place here in the Bay Area have travelled around the world - all from an artist (here in my town) who has developed a totally iconic style without using any digital tools. Great stuff. Love the villa reno, too, obvs.
After following all the exciting episodes of this reno it was really nice to see the walk through with the before and after shots. Congratulation on a great job and programs.
I love it all. But Paerau's little wall unit really shows the attention to detail.
Completely agree, Sometimes you wonder if this should be "Paerau's Carpentry" TH-cam channel as he's clearly the master craftsman here! 🤣😝
It looks like a pretty big unit to me
just needed to fill nail holes but thats being picky
Can you put the time stamp?
For that window in the shower, try to have the sloped tile over the wall tile, so that the butted grout line is facing into the shower and not up towards the ceiling. It’s less risk of water intrusion at that point.
Scott, I would love to see you buy and renovate a property. Because: a - you and your better half deserve better than a flat, and b: because you would kill that. Cheers, mate!
Yeah, it would but you know what they say about builders and their own houses?
The shoemaker's children have no shoes :)
Yes! Similar to the 'essential craftsman' house build series but as a full renovation.
I restore old cars for fun and have been offered a lot of money to do it professionally. I would never do that as turning a hobby into a job sounds like a nightmare.

Hahah, are you kidding? he lives in Auckland.... he needs to do 20 more renovations like this to get a deposit hahah
Amazing how I hardly watch TV any more, but spend ages watching awesome content like yours on TH-cam. Great Work!
me too.
Thats because tv is crap lol
Great to see someone actually taking pride in that they do rather than crash bang wallop, good attitude = good results
If all the construction workers would care about old houses like you do, the world would be a better place. And thanks for all the time consuming video's you make. They are great to watch and very useful.
Work to be proud of. Best result? In my opinion, “Looks like it was always there.” Thanks for the videos.
Scott, this was a very enjoyable series. The quality of your workmanship and production quality of your videos is top notch. I learned a few tricks and know to avoid the Makita coffee maker. Worth a patreon subscription.

Paereau has skills to pay the bills for sure.
Any chance of a short “Pareau makes...” series.
They started with one but we never saw much of it and left us hanging. His sleepout in his backyard.
I followed this renovation from day 1. I must say it turned out fantastic. Cheers from the state of Washington.
I love the open kitchen and back deck. Makes it feel like a much bigger space without all the walls and doors
Paerau - 100% amazing job on those shelves.
The pocket shelving is great, but the reclaimed kitchen ones with the slotting is 10/10 craftsmanship.
He always does some of the most underrated work, and with amazing craftsmanship.
I thought his bowtie to fix the reclaimed wood in previous episodes was also super on point.
Of all of your projects, I think this house has been the most dramatic transformation.
Scott's such a nice guy, really makes me smile to see how much pride and joy he gets from walking through a beast of a finished product.
The little raked ceiling in the kitchen that flows out to the raked eaves looks so good man!
Fabulous renovation. Well done SBC.😎
It's the little touches, that makes your work cool.
Ima address the white elephant in the room, let's be honest none of this would be possible without Rich...the man,hardest worker,funniest 1 liners,give it up people!! (as per our agreement you owe me a box Rich✌)
Bro. Im pretty sure we discussed a half dozen and you weren’t going to mention me by name, was supposed to be more subtle.
Where is Rich Nowdays? it all started with a Radio Competion, then Renos with Scott....now what?
Lol ;)
@@novosib9017 I’ve been trying to complete a large garage renovation at home. Taking ages due to shortages of materials.
Watched this whole series as it came out. Rewatching it and I really love how this renovation comes out. If I hadn't already been hooked on SBC videos this series would have got me 100%
Work of art. House price just went up big time, happy owners.
That's a lovely villa. I love old buildings. My flat in Glasgow was built in 1895 and while it needs looking after from time to time there's tons of character.
I'm away for a few years in the UK so its lovely to watch this series and see all my old favourite smoko bakeries especially the french cafe opposite Bunnings.
Great work and attention to detail.
Watch the video again and it’s still a great watch Scott,congratulations on a project well done.👍👍👍
That WAS exciting.
Ahhhh i get such a throwback from the intro. Bought the same exact socks while being in NZ
Wow that turned out awesome!
Great to see how this turned out, and the before-and-after shots. Super work.
I would try to have the shower niche tile run over the wall tile so the grout line isn’t facing ceiling, but rather on the side. Less chance of water intrusion and less chance of that grout line slowly whittling away. Saves you a callback.

Amazing job Scott. The people of New Zealand are lucky to have a builder of you skill and integrity.
keeping the style while adding a modern flair takes a deft touch, you and your crew did an awesome job. That is a statement piece for "Scott Brown Carpentry".
Absolutely Amazing work, you guys are master craftsman 👌🏻
What an absolutely fantastic overhaul, absolutely speechless!
Excellent work Scott and associates! Remarkable transformation!
Great to see how proud you are of your work !
What an amazing transformation. Beautiful work and great attention to detail. It would be interesting to hear from the homeowners - would love to understand the thinking behind some of the decisions as well as their budget. Also think they're going to end up regretting that ginormous folding back door - beautiful, but a nightmare to maintain.
Terrific journey Scott,enjoyed every minute. Thanks for all your videos.👍👍👍👍
Great results! House leveling, small extension/ open plan with big timber bifold doors leading to a new deck outside, new kitchen and bathroom! Just estimating the costs in Auckland to do a reno like this, maybe $300k? But definitely worth it given the house price in Kingsland.
Thanks to you for taking the time to upload this video
Insane they kept some of the stuff they kept when they put in so much work already. I think the bathroom could use a new door hah
Absolutely stellar work. I am just in awe of your talent.
Superbe, félicitations à toute l’équipe et au maître d’œuvre. Bravo Scott!
Thanks for the video man. It looks absolutely amazing, please , you guys, keep up the beautiful job that you’re doing. I did my fair share of houses renovation and impossible projects, but the joy and accomplishment at the end of each job, covers the hard work. The memories of those jobs still puts a smile on, every time I remember them. You guys make a good and amazing job!!!!!
These before and after summary videos are incredible.
Your team has given it a wonderful atmosphere, enjoy
Play safe from Elliot lake Ontario Canada.
Great work Scott! I'm seriously proud of you! Thank you very much for the videos!
You guys are unique and super professional, thank you for showing how to work ...

Brilliant work Scotty and Paerau. Great work
Great job Scott and the guys..Fantastic result....Thanks
Top notch work boys! I would ask for a job, but I love that you keep it simple with just a few good carpenters 👌🏼
Love that tile you did in the bathroom. That was a really nice touch and added dimension to the room.
Liking the end of series recap. And you guys do an excellent job.
You and the team Scott are the BOMB
Wow it ended up being such a cool mix between old and new. That home is super comfy and now also beautiful again.
Got to say though, I expect that weird bathroom window to become an eternal fight against mildew forming
Always entertaining, informative, and relaxing. This one blows me away to see it all together. Great job boys!
WOW. wow wow wow wow wow. Well done gents!
Your work is bang on, keep up the graft gents
The transformation is beautiful and the modern look very inviting. Excellent use of materials. Absolutely stunning!
You and your mates are really good at what you do - kudos. looks lovely, owner should be very happy living there!
I want to move to NZ just so I can hire you to work on my house. Everything's so carefully thought out and done. I have a hard time trusting workers here when I see how you work in your videos.
I wish I could erase all my viewings of your videos from my memory so I can have lower standards to whoever I hire here.
Or not look so critically at the Reno you've nearly finished ,😂😢
Awesome job, finishing details amazing, Google earth crack up
You should be so proud of yourself Scott, great job 👍🏻
Wow! From a dumpy little house to something that could be featured in a magazine. Fantastic work.
You should be so proud of how this turned out Scott, well done!
This is excellent. Watched every episode and great to see a summary/wrap up of the job. Thank you
So love the transformation guys ....awesome work...
Superb result Scott and Parau and Richard
Thanks so much for the video wrapping it all up and the views of Auckland
Nice to see an update.
Great work team. When we did our house a few years back we repurposed some pohutukawa that the council were chopping down to make bench seating, shelving and a fire hearth. Beautiful reddy colour and a sense of history as they were originally planted when the house was built.
Great result to a great project by a great team, nice work boys
Nice work Scott, the renovation and the videos as well !
One word. Incredible!
Beautiful work every time.
You are very talented. Amazing transformation.
Hat off to you Scott. Its a tough job being behind the mental work AND the physical work for Renovations like these. I Also Run a Small Reno business and every time i get sick of the day i tell myself "Scott would eat this for breakfast" haha. Good Job.
Btw your methods have inspired me to be even neater and have more dust control on my sites.
Beautiful work, Scott. All that and a G.E. celebrity!
Well done boys! Great job. Every builder would like someone like Paerau working for them.
amazing production and beautiful renovation!
shower window looks great.
Great job. Love the recap of the project
Gorgeous renovation!
Yes! Another SBC episode!
Great video mate. This type of in depth project wrap up vid is awesome to see - you and Jess are running a professional outfit and this is a great way to showcase your top level work.

Top job and very entertaining. Attention to detail fantastic.
Absolutely beautiful Scot. You guys did great 🤙🏽👍🏽
Stunning. Design and execution. You and the Team should be super proud of this.
Beautiful job 😍😍🧱👍🏽
Really amazing work. You and your team should be proud
I've been looking forward to this episode for a while! Thanks
Beautiful work, makes me excited to do a bathroom reno in my house!
Wow your clients must be very happy
Great job !! You’re allowed to be proud!
Nothing to do with the renovation, but I love seeing the Michael Schwab poster of the Cliff House in San Francisco at 07:57. I am amazed that these posters that we see all over the place here in the Bay Area have travelled around the world - all from an artist (here in my town) who has developed a totally iconic style without using any digital tools.

Love the villa reno, too, obvs.
Great job fellows, real teamwork throughout. Many people would not appreciate the time and patience it takes to renovate to this standard.
After following all the exciting episodes of this reno it was really nice to see the walk through with the before and after shots. Congratulation on a great job and programs.
Looks fantastic Scott!!!
Stunning job Scott..
that’s one for the scrap book…
Using existing materials as well , now that’s a proper renovation.
That flooring looks superb 👍🏼
That’s insane! It’s beautiful!
