A lot of people complain about building codes, inspections, and permits (I often do), but doing demo on and old house proves that at least some of it is needed. The crazy way people just tacked stuff together back in the day is amazing (not in a good way).
You are obviously a very calm and dedicated individual- 1) Restoring a house most would have bulldozed 2) Living in said house while doing all the work 3) Raising a young family at the same time Hats off to you!
Demo work is fun. Plus, you never know what you're going to find. It's amazing to see how your house was put together... although, sometimes you can only shake your head at what you find. Awesome video as always.
In retirement, I will be moving into my in-laws place (still several years away). That house was built in the 90s and so there will not be some of the same issues as you have. Yet, I plan to change around the floor plan and so I am enjoying your videos. Thanks!
Bought my reciprocating saw in 1999. Still going, but this is my last house to remodel. Favorite tool! Trees, framing, random metal pipes: it does it all! Thank you for highlighting this excellent tool!
You Da Man! Love these videos you do. Your Home is like a ‘DIYers dream!‘ will be interfering to see how you end up with the dual closet space. BTW, I have been using Hoppe’s for years, and it’s pronounced, Hop -Peees. Great product! Great video and great channel. Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍✌🏻😁🔨
You definitely motivate me to actually get off my ass and do something constructive…then I realize I don’t have any skills. So I watch another one of your videos
Great job as always! When everything is finally done in the entire house, I would love to see a video with the before and after photos of all the incredible work you've done. That would be epic! 👌👍😊
You know, we may not have known you were getting ready to demo if you hadn't said "and I'm going to do it, right now". Your signature mark. Thanks for sharing.
I married into a Hoppe family. It's German in origin of course and my husband's family pronounce it as Hop pea(Hoppe). I too get the urge to start one of the many projects we have on our plate at my house. Replumbing the recalled polybutylene water pipes is my number one concern.
Only built in 1946, I thought it was at least a hundred years old, it's basically a new build, half my tools are older than your house, lol. The masking tape reminds me of the "structural" black electric tape and shrink wrap waterproof membrane found on renovation jobs. The crap people use for saving money, lack of knowledge and or scamming the client. Would you use any plywood sheet under the drywall to stiffen the basement stair ceiling boxing. A lot of European houses use plywood sheathing structurally to create a very strong rigid box. Looking forward to the next stage of work.
What you do is fantastic, it inspired me to get a general carpentry apprenticeship sooner! I've grown up around family building and fixing things and these videos brings me comfort. Thank you for the great content you put out, much love from canada :)
Old houses can certainly be interesting. Ours still has bits of old unused pipes and (knob and tube) wire here and there, remnants that were never fully removed when the house was upgraded. And the hall to the back of the house still has bits of hardware from a long-gone double door. And the stairs to the basement that were added, and then later blocked. And...
Hello again I am here catching up on all your new videos cause I was on a little vacation did I tell you how clean and neat you are when doing demolition glad to see you wearing gloves, eye protection and face mask👍😁 can't wait for your next video 💙
really nice into lol, ending's good too since it leads into the next. i actually just finally had time to binge watch the whole bathroom remodel vid, definitely adds to my interest in how next episode will turn out (also woo to more history)
Progress never felt so good... Btw your basement stairs look like a death trap lol.. are they level to the floor when u walk in/down also are they wide enough to walk into? And dude I really can't get enough of u fixing up this house.. I rly hope ur channel blows up so u can keep doing more work in this house!! Keep it going brother! 💪
Coming along nicely! When you said "that's my thing" all I could think of was "give this a nice loving bonk... that's my thing" lol And also when you said that that was more work than you expected... that's pretty much what happens when i work on cars haha I'm trying to catch up on the episodes I missed so you may see some more comments today lol
I would have thought that the change in drywall might be where there was previously more headroom for basement access and someone has reduced this and created more cupboard space. The whole framing looks very Heath Robinson!!
Is that welcome mat glued to the floor? You are consistent in your work. It's soothing. You do what you do very well. Also, I'm wondering if your one year pld already has a tool belt.
Such talent. I would love to know the things you do. I have a vision but I’m lost as to how to do it myself. And tools are expensive too.😕 Love your videos!
que lindo es poder hacer ese tipo de remodelaciones... aca solo tenemos casas de ladrillo, cemento y hormigon... osea una pared no se quita.. porque sino se cae la casa jajajaja
Why don’t you have a barrel in the area, and throw debris in it instead of on the floor? It makes cleanup easier, and reduces the odds of stepping on a nail.

Ended up on this video because of all the wood I found stacked together like Tetris while taking a closet door frame out.
Every time I watch your videos, I feel like I should be doing something to my house, like anything! Thanks for sharing as always...
Yes! Do it to it! Thanks for watching!
Exactly 😂😂😂
Same but instead I'm watching him do it.
Yay for a new video! Sad it was too short!! I’ll be looking forward to the next video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thoroughly enjoyed, man! Old houses make my head spin. 🤪
You are obviously a very calm and dedicated individual-

ALWAYS enjoy your videos
and GRATEFUL you are taking care of your AWESOME SELF (👀)
Love the tease at the very end! "Let's attack this and see what happens." Perfect! Can't wait until the next episode.
this is indescribably satisfying.
I really enjoy watching your videos! I like the process of taking out the old and putting in something new and better
So excited for the next one - love seeing when progress is being made!

Love your videos! It’s like when I was little and watched my dad do projects around the house. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching! Happy you are enjoying the videos!

I always look forward to you saying, "and we're going to do it right now"
Excited to see kitchen remodel.
That was a nice intro having fun with your intro! Incredible and inspiring in real world ways. Cheers man! Good editing and always great content too.
I agree what this guy says … always real projects …. Hi me it’s you me
Yes it makes me happy that you have safety glasses on. 🙂

i could watch these videos all day, great job
Very informative series. Cool stuff
Love how you keep the place clean with all the work going on!
You definitely motivate me to actually get off my ass and do something constructive…then I realize I don’t have any skills. So I watch another one of your videos
😁 you can do it. I promise!!
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
Wow opens it up so much! Nice work brother.
Sometimes it’s pretty cool what u find in old houses
Yeah I have found a couple things that I still have. They are little pieces of history. 😁 thanks for watching!
Great job as always! When everything is finally done in the entire house, I would love to see a video with the before and after photos of all the incredible work you've done. That would be epic! 👌👍😊
Yes! I will for sure! 😁. Thanks for watching!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair great work bro
@@TheFixerHomeRepair How long do you already have this house?
Safety glasses look good on you.. especially when your working 😅
You know, we may not have known you were getting ready to demo if you hadn't said "and I'm going to do it, right now". Your signature mark. Thanks for sharing.
Really nice job.
Thanks for all those explanations !
Watching the whole ceiling drop at 8:16 was lowkey terrifying 😂
Man, it is looking great. Reworking space is very rewarding. Love watching your content.
So excited when I saw the upload!!! It’s really coming along!

When he's done with the flip, the Fixer should do a house in review kind of thing. It'd be nice to see the complete project.... Thumbs up!

Really love your videos and your way to work through project. Thanks for sharing.
These videos are so lovely to watch! You've done a great job with your home and your videos! I love how relaxing the videos are.
Really interested to see how the space is gonna turn out! Keep up the good work 👌🏻

I’m already ready for the next video.
Great videos for this project, looking forward to the next one.

A one year old - how time flies. He'll be borrowing your tools in no time.
Coming along nicely! When you said "that's my thing" all I could think of was "give this a nice loving bonk... that's my thing" lol
And also when you said that that was more work than you expected... that's pretty much what happens when i work on cars haha
I'm trying to catch up on the episodes I missed so you may see some more comments today lol
Haha Bonk! Thanks for catching up! I appreciate it. Hope you are packing that brain for when you buy your first house!!
Haha, the things you find. Good work.
love your videos! they make me feel lazy and inferior. i wish we were neighbors and best friends!
Excellent job
“Safety glasses…hopefully that makes you happy!” 😂
"Right now - that's my thing" I actual LOL'D at that 😉🤣🤣
Haha nice!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair yep, I laughed so loud I actually scared my dog! 🤭
I would have thought that the change in drywall might be where there was previously more headroom for basement access and someone has reduced this and created more cupboard space.
The whole framing looks very Heath Robinson!!
Very cool, looks like good progress!
😁. Thanks for watching, Jared!
Must feel good every time you get that wood paneling out of a room.
It’s cringe. LOL!
Is that welcome mat glued to the floor? You are consistent in your work. It's soothing. You do what you do very well. Also, I'm wondering if your one year pld already has a tool belt.
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing! Just a quick question. Are you restoring your entire home?
That's so weird, normally one year olds never go around getting into things. 😆
Your videos make me feel like I can fix anything lol 😂
We're going to click the like button, and we're gonna do it.......right now!
Love your channel!
Man that house is going to turn into a palace someday.
Good job!
Love the vids as always! Waiting for the next one🙌🏻
Good work
i love your videos so much! so excited for the updates! :D
"That's my thing" I lol'ed!
Such talent. I would love to know the things you do. I have a vision but I’m lost as to how to do it myself. And tools are expensive too.😕 Love your videos!
Great video ,thanks
Wow how many layers is there. Thought you were never going to get to the end.
Can't wait for your next vid
Excited to see the next steps! Are you going to make more a of a square area for head clearance than the angle in there now?
My little guy Brayden laughed so hard when you busted the wall open and said “right now”…
Whoa 😳!
That intro!😳!
Sorry if I scared you haha 😂
very nice, I can't wait to see it all done, it's gonna be awesome :B
Thanks for watching, Tiny!
It's always more than we think. Having to clean up somebody else's meal mass is always time consuming. That year the star you can do it all..... Hugs
Yeah it is always interesting. That is for sure!
I love louver doors. They are somewhat expensive theses days
The Fixer 👍
Thank you
Thank YOU for watching!
Hahaha best ‘right now’ ever
@8:20 y'all see that drop too right.... I thought ohh no for a second 🤣
Yes to safety glasses haha
I'm going to hit the like button on this video. And I'm gonna do it.... Right nowwww.
Me: I can’t wait to have my own house so I can remodel it to my liking!
Also me: He’s gonna find a body somewhere…. 👀👀👀
Should it be that easy to pull the drywall down??
LOL at the texts.
I love your videos they are awesome, but I have one thing to tell you “Go Rays”. LMAO!!!!!!
Haha
I am thinking about how this house passed inspection every time they fixed or added to the closet.
Yeah I don’t think much was inspected honestly.
that was fun
que lindo es poder hacer ese tipo de remodelaciones... aca solo tenemos casas de ladrillo, cemento y hormigon... osea una pared no se quita.. porque sino se cae la casa jajajaja
I hope you find the treasure chest during such actions 😘😂👍
you have any on closets that have that extra step or floor? mt room closet is a step above the room.
That's my thing 😂
Is that a super Mario? Oh mamma mia
It sure is haha
I see sinking in my ceiling too.. any advice on hiring a contractor to jack it up?
12:14 __ Some of that Hoppe No. 9 Nitro Powder Solvent might have sped up this demolition project! ;o))
Are you using your phone for filming, or do you have something like a GoPro camera?
Why don’t you have a barrel in the area, and throw debris in it instead of on the floor? It makes cleanup easier, and reduces the odds of stepping on a nail.
You should keep that gun cleaning box
Going to! I have a small collection of little things like that that I have found in the house!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair that's cool to hear. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
