Man, I'm not sure I would take the time and effort to fix that wall that tapers. But, that's why they call you "The Fixer"! Can't wait for the kitchen remodel.
😁 All of the things I do can be learned with practice! I always like to use this example... when I started with a construction company I didn't even know how to read a tape measure. Thanks for watching, Lesle!
Old houses are the best! They have so many secrets. I used to work in an old house that had been turned into a private care facility. It was built in 1853. The basement had a cobblestone floor.
@@TheFixerHomeRepair It was very cool! The house is in Cambridge, Ontario. If you Google Kingsview Residence you should be able to see pictures of it. 😊
Yes! They are fun! I am curious, Paul, are arches still in style in your area or does it depend on the person? Thanks for checking out the video! I really appreciate it!
Archways are intrinsic of the style of homes when your house was built. We lived in one for 30 years, and the arches were beautiful and helped separate areas without blocking the entire wall. You've chosen the more modern look, but belive me, at least here in the Appalachian area of Virginia, we still have - and maintain - such homes, appreciating the materials, the labor, and the integrity of the builds - not to mention how lovely these old neighborhoods look.
They’re not bad looking but at least in my house each archway is a different width and really annoying when you have to move anything size-able through the house
Yeah there is a part of me that is a little sad removing the history of the house but I really feel like the people who built it would be happy with the remodeling I have been doing... I hope anyway. Thanks for checking out the video!
I never comment on any TH-cam videos but wanted to let you know how much I enjoy yours. You do great work and make quality content. Look forward to seeing this next transformation!
Well that is amazing to hear! Thanks so much for letting me know. I am having a really fun time making these videos and comments like this help to assure me I am doing things the right way. So thanks so much, Johnny!!
Loads of houses by me from the 1920s to 1950s era, where they originally had to go outside to enter via a basement walkout. And similar bad indoor DIY stairway additions. Seen one house where they had 2 DIY staircases in the basement. A 24 in wide stair case from a linen closet that then turned into an 18 inch wide staircase since a load bearing wall was in the way on one side. Second one was dug out into the garage, self poured concrete 20 inch Wide staircase! and the 3rd was the old original basement walkout.
We have an Arch, from the living room to the front room. In the old days that was called the neatroom, for the sundays or when you had guests. Its an old farmhouse from 1935. The arch, is of brick. And the chimney is supported by it. So i left it. It gives caracter but if it wasn't there, i wouldn; t mind. Anyways, great video again, looking forward te the kitchen remodel. Ik have te do mine to. Thanks again!
You're welcome, also I would have to fix the wall also, otherwise it would drive me nuts! Once you see it, you can't unsee it even if you try to minimize it with a flooring that makes it less noticeable, lol.
where i am, if you're remodeling an older house and doing the kind of hallway work like you are, you're allowed to use the old dimension-codes as long as your wiring/plumbing is up to date. they call it "grandfathering" a remodel, i think? it's so that when you're marrying an old house to a newer part it looks seamless and you don't get the weird jogs like your hall has. i'm guessing your local codes don't allow for that? which is a bummer.
That spot above the door used to be a window that opened to allow airflow, like heat, and light to move across the house unobstructed or obstructed as needed. Called Transoms.
Hey, Delaine! I am not sure I would want a shoot having a small child that has already started getting into EVERYTHING haha. I also don't think laundry chutes are legal anymore in my area because of that and because of fire codes. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!
Hey, Angela! Not a bad idea but with me having a kid now that kind of makes me nervous. I am not sure they are even allowed now because of that... and fire codes.
I think those archways were a 50s thing. In what is now my Aunt's house, back in the 1950s they did renovations to a bunch of houses in our area and those arches appeared in all of them. My relatives from around the country experienced a similar thing from what we see of the old photos.
I know this was 2 weeks ago, but just needed to clarify/correct you on the archway. As I thought, and a quick Google search verified, they began in the 1920's and were found in homes up through the 50's, most likely by then, they were mostly found in more traditionally styled homes through the mid 50's before falling out of fashion.
You know that with every wall you tear down or dig behind, it is like a treasure hunt. You never know what you will find. Makes the video educational and exciting. Now, you need the find the wall with the money hidden in it. 😉 Thanks for sharing.
What did you do before oscillating tools came along? It must have been hard for you! Really like these types of videos. It shows the thinking behind what is being done, shows the process, and shows when things pop up and changes need to be made. I like the jokes you throw in too. Ah, memories.
Hey, Jim! Before the oscillating tool I pretty much used a sawsall (recipricating saw) for everything. Thanks for the feedback on the video! Happy to hear you are enjoying this style!
Yeah that is a good idea... the type of flooring I am doing may not work out that well... I have to do the snap together floor because I can not rip this one up to do tile like I wanted. 😔. The floor underneath has the amazing miracle mineral known as asbestos so I can't touch it. Thanks for checking out the video!
I hope I didn’t miss where you may have already answered similar questions: Do you have to pull permits if you are DIYing your own home? If so, how long does the process take? Is the permitting cost cheaper because you are a pro or cheaper for DIYers working on their own home? If you have time or any plans on replying to Q&As I was just putting in a couple of questions. You are great and break everything down so easy to understand.
I hate the "it depends" response but in this case it's relevant. It varies by state and local rules and by WHAT your renovating or moving i.e. plumbing/gas/electrical
Thanks Brian and Gregory, that sucks that the rules can vary so much depending on location but it’s good to know. I really don’t know anything about DIYing a home, but hopefully when I get my fixer upper I can do a little on my own and of course pay a pro for the big stuff just wanted to know if you need permission to change the tiles or toilet 🚽 in your own home.
Yup, Brian and Gregory are correct in saying it depends on the state and even the city/town. Where I live (Massachusetts) you need a permit for anything unless it is cosmetic like wall coverings, flooring, things like that. You also can pull your own permit if you own the home and are doing the work yourself but need to sign a workers compensation affidavit that basically says you are not covered if something goes wrong, which makes sense because you wouldn't sue yourself. You are also allowed to do everything yourself (framing, wiring, roofing, etc.) except plumbing. For that you need a licensed and insured plumber. As far as the price goes it is the same if you were a company or a home owner. And it usually goes by a certain amount of money per $1000 of estimated job cost. I think my latest permit for my kitchen/bedroom addition was $200 for example. My front deck was $45 i think... so not terrible when you are doing lot's of work already. And it does not take long at all in my city to get a permit as long as you have the plans written up and the permit filled out properly. I hope this helps to answer your questions. This might be a good conversation for a live Q&A event. 🤔. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!
Just removing the arch brightened it up already. Not much in those old houses is really square. Sometimes you see things people did and wonder if they were drunk on the job or hung over!
You removing the area of the archway reminded me of working on an 1896 house my ex and I bought back in ‘92. He was pulling out extremely old wood and stuff so we could make an arched closet/shelf area in the nursery. He was on a ladder, my mom was at floor level when a petrified rat fell on him, he yelled, it landed on her ! He jumped off the ladder, she hauled a** out of the house due to a major rodent phobia and I was just watching all pregnant. That dead rat was HUGE!!!!! I think we only found one other petrified rat in the house. 😂🐭
Hey, Gale! I don't have a specific video for that but this video might help with the taping and mudding... th-cam.com/video/zmXZElYcGRc/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps. Thanks for checking it out!
Let's go!!! Projects on projects can't wait!!!! Kitchen remodel going to be epic! 💪 Q. So shouldn't the next focus be on fixing the downstairs area bc u might have to jack the floor up?
Hey, Ricardo! Not in this house but working in construction I would come across newspapers all the time! People used to insulate some houses with only newspaper!! It is always cool to find that stuff. I think the oldest one was 1896. Very very cool. Thanks for watching!
I honestly would really just rather not have to deal with it and make the hallway a little bigger. I will still have plenty of room for the bedroom closet and the hall closet is just going to be a linen closet so it doesn't have to be that deep. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!
Your blade on your multitool was smoking, when they get hot they get dull faster. A good way to prevent them going dull to fast is to lower the speed on your multitool. that is a money saver :)
It all depends on the content creator it can take a week from filming to upload or more, and with some channels, it can take a couple of months due to the amount of footage and time to edit them. Channels like Matt's Off Road Recovery has had videos upload 2, to 2.5 months after they were shot (Recovery videos, the build videos are uploaded much sooner, like shot during the week, edited and uploaded on the weekends for Sunday drop) is one example. Others like this channel, maybe the time lapse is much less, but it all depends on how many he has in the hopper in being edited, to be edited etc before uploading.
I thought you were talking about that hump in the floor in the beginning of the vid, or is it just camera distortion? Either way like the vids, thanx bro!
Do you mean where the carpet meets the floor in the hallway? There is a sag in the floor I will be fixing really soon though, so stay tuned for that! Thanks for checking out the video!!
Hey! I am in Massachusetts. Best thing is "word of mouth". If you have any friends that have had work done or maybe you can join a local facebook page and ask for recommendations. It is always good to hear from other people who have had work done. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
That is really tough to say. Would take a while to add it all up but I have at least put $30k-$40k in so far. The value is going up anyway because of the market but with the sweat equity I would say I have added at least $100k to the value. Maybe more! Thanks for stopping by and for the comment, Andy!
Wait, I thought that you were going to put the new stairs door across from the bathroom there opposite the kids bedroom, when you turn the stairs around.
No. Maybe you caught that during my live video? I did say I wish I could do that... but I cant unless I changed my heating system and knocked down the chimney, which I am not doing right now.
From a code standpoint, does it really matter if your new wall is less than 36" if it's following the width of the old wall? Doesn't seem like a building inspector would be able to to discern where old ends and new begins. And a couple inches doesn't really affect egress if the old wall is not bumped to match the 36" minimum. Just kinda thinking out loud, not criticizing.
@@TheFixerHomeRepair I've used both extensively, and electric ranges, even the best ones, come in a distant 2nd place to gas ranges. Even if you have to get a propane tank in your yard to run the thing, it's worth it. My favorite comment on the subject is that NOBODY has EVER said "Oh, yeah! We're cooking with electricity now!"
I'm trying to imagine the original floor plan. So it must have been a tiny house if there was an addition added. I like archways-our house is a single story modular built in 1978 by Boise Cascade so there's nothing that fancy where the 2 halves are joined. Your archway really was too small and closed in!
Hey! In my case for my house. It does not take long at all. Typically I file the permit application and pick up the permit the next day. If it is commercial or you have to get variances/deal with zoning issues I am sure it takes longer. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!
I see all the YT and Inta designers adding archways. I am not a fan of archways and feel they should all be removed like you are doing. It is because I am tall and some of them in the older homes can be a hazard to us tall folks!
Haha I don't know. I never work late into the night any more with having a little one who needs his sleep so hopefully the noise during the day is acceptable for them. 😁. Thanks for checking out the video!
I can't wait to see what you do next. Please get safety glasses, I would hate for you not to be able to see the hard work you have done or be able to see your child.
Be careful with those nail you made have to goes to the hospital to get a shot ok I am telling you the truth ok god bless you ok praying for me and I got a devil on my phone and she wouldn't leave me alone ok she almost got her but beat up ok I cant do it my king as we have a strong bond ok and no curse with my king our god protect us from the devil ok god bless you ok god love you so much ok

You wouldn't think it would make a big difference taking the archway out but it did. Excited for the kitchen remodel too!

Yaaaay another upload. It’s amazing to see what’s underneath when you start demoing your home.
Yes it is always interesting!
Looking forward to the next installment. The renovation is really interesting to watch. Things for bringing us along on the journey.
Stay tuned, Chris! Another video coming soon! Thanks for watching and for all your support! I really appreciate it!
been watching lots of home things recently while sick (not That virus), nice timing for a new vid of yours to watch
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well but happy to hear you are enjoying my videos! Feel better soon.
That already looks so much better (despite the crooked wall), more open. Amazing how much am archway can make a space feel so closed off!
I agree. Happy I took it out. Thank you for watching, Jamy!

I really enjoy watching and learning about your remodels. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome to hear. And thank YOU for watching!!
where i am, if you're remodeling an older house and doing the kind of hallway work like you are, you're allowed to use the old dimension-codes as long as your wiring/plumbing is up to date. they call it "grandfathering" a remodel, i think? it's so that when you're marrying an old house to a newer part it looks seamless and you don't get the weird jogs like your hall has. i'm guessing your local codes don't allow for that? which is a bummer.
Hmm. This is something I will check on. Thank you!
That spot above the door used to be a window that opened to allow airflow, like heat, and light to move across the house unobstructed or obstructed as needed. Called Transoms.
And the work continues! Can't wait to see this project unfold!
Great to hear, Aaron! Thanks for always checking out my projects!
Ever thought about installing a laundry shoot
What a great idea!!!!
Hey, Delaine! I am not sure I would want a shoot having a small child that has already started getting into EVERYTHING haha. I also don't think laundry chutes are legal anymore in my area because of that and because of fire codes. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!

Wait, I thought that you were going to put the new stairs door across from the bathroom there opposite the kids bedroom, when you turn the stairs around.
No. Maybe you caught that during my live video? I did say I wish I could do that... but I cant unless I changed my heating system and knocked down the chimney, which I am not doing right now.
Kitchen Remodel Timelapse???
Yes, it will happen. 😁 Stay tuned!
I'd like it already....hugs
😁 Thanks, Carolyn!
From a code standpoint, does it really matter if your new wall is less than 36" if it's following the width of the old wall? Doesn't seem like a building inspector would be able to to discern where old ends and new begins. And a couple inches doesn't really affect egress if the old wall is not bumped to match the 36" minimum. Just kinda thinking out loud, not criticizing.
Yeah I am actually going to look into this. You are not the first to comment on the topic. Thank you for the comment and for checking out the video!
Are you going to get a gas range for your kitchen remodel?
I do not have gas right now. I would love to have a gas range though. I hear they are so much better than electric!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair I've used both extensively, and electric ranges, even the best ones, come in a distant 2nd place to gas ranges. Even if you have to get a propane tank in your yard to run the thing, it's worth it.
My favorite comment on the subject is that NOBODY has EVER said "Oh, yeah! We're cooking with electricity now!"
@@nolongeramused8135 I will keep this in mind! Thanks!
Happy St Patrick Day Mr Fixer next video is ripping Carpet in the Bedroom
😁 Thanks for watching, Shannon!
Good call on the archway. It looks like it wasn’t original to the house anyway, and if it was...like what were our ancestors thinking? 🤪
😁. Thanks for watching!
I'd just rebuild the whole house at this point 😅
Normally I would cringe to take a beautiful archway out but it does not match your house so you’re right get rid of it.
I'm trying to imagine the original floor plan. So it must have been a tiny house if there was an addition added. I like archways-our house is a single story modular built in 1978 by Boise Cascade so there's nothing that fancy where the 2 halves are joined. Your archway really was too small and closed in!
Living in the UK 🇬🇧, I'm interested to know how long it takes your permits etc to get approved? Hope it's not as slow as ours 🤣
Great video as usual 👌
I don't think as long as in the Uk. All that red tape, and the commissions of old wise lady's who deside if its appropiate.
Hey! In my case for my house. It does not take long at all. Typically I file the permit application and pick up the permit the next day. If it is commercial or you have to get variances/deal with zoning issues I am sure it takes longer. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!
That’s interesting…I’m on the other hand, build arches to get away from the boring square openings
To each their own I guess!
NOOOO! That gives your house the 40s feel
Well its gone now! 😁. Thanks for watching!
🤙🏾🤗
😁👍
Oh goodness not the ears. lol. Oh good there was a level right at the end.
Haha
Could've won that hand if I just had a 2♠️!!!
Haha I was looking for that when I had my A, 3, 4, 5 of spades in my hand!
Almost like a dentist work.
😁. Thanks for checking it out!
I see those archways on a lot of 1970s remodels. They never survive the next remodel.
Yup. Very 70's!
I see all the YT and Inta designers adding archways. I am not a fan of archways and feel they should all be removed like you are doing. It is because I am tall and some of them in the older homes can be a hazard to us tall folks!
Even Stevie Wonder could have seen what was wrong with the flooring.
Haha!
FYI, my cat does not appreciate your favorite tool! If i don't mute the TV she is not happy. =)
You are handsome, I like your video! Where you live in UK?
Love your videos but I imagine your neighbors dont like very much the noise you make hahahaha
Haha I don't know. I never work late into the night any more with having a little one who needs his sleep so hopefully the noise during the day is acceptable for them. 😁. Thanks for checking out the video!
I don't know what you are going to do when you finish remodeling your house
You will have to wait and see 😁😉
@@TheFixerHomeRepair I guess so
my guy is scoring the baseboard so the wall he rips down doesnt get damaged 🤔
Haha nah it just makes it easier to tear apart. 😁🤪
I can't wait to see what you do next. Please get safety glasses, I would hate for you not to be able to see the hard work you have done or be able to see your child.
Yeah probably a good idea. Thanks for stopping by, as always! 😁
Omg!!! Why would anybody remove remove that arch. Has nothing to do with style its classic!!!
BUT isn't "classic" a style? 🤔🤪
