drove by this everyday on the way to work to mack assembly.. can't believe you guys bought this! I've fantasized about buying that place. congrats!!
First let me say I wish you guys the best of success. I’m 54 and I grew up a few blocks from there and I remember going there as a child when it was a fruit stand and produce market. When I got married I toyed with the idea of trying to buy it but my wife wasn’t onboard 🤣😂 can’t wait to see the finished results. I still live only a few blocks away
75 year old female from UK. I am excitedly looking forward to watching the transformation.
Me too, this is going to be fun.
From trinidad and tobago me too.
69 year old from Canada, I am here for it!!🥳🥳🥳
Please do a video of any finds and anything repurposed from the warehouse.
We will be making some furniture out of some of the wood coming out of here. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it!
I was thinking the same thing
Yes please I so excited to see where this goes
it's all about a vision, not everybody has it. Kudos to you young people who have taken on Detroit as a project, the city is very much worth restoring. So many great memories of this beautiful city that was once the wealthiest in the country.
My Dad was born and raised Detroit, I was raised in Detroit as well. I know Detroit at one time was the 5th largest city in the country, what made it the wealthiest? Enquiring mind wants to know
@@kp2855 Industry, a little research will enlighten. The automotive capitol of the world.
You my dear are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I’m moving back to the Toledo area in about a year and a half, after being away for almost 40 years in military service. Turning an old building into a resident’s has always peaked my interest. Keep up the grind! Go Tigers, Go RedWings, Go Lions, Go Pistons and Go Buckeyes!
They auction houses off In some areas LOOK AT- GOVDEALS
Wait a minute . BUCKEYES ?!?!
Very cool to watch. My ancestors came to Detroit from Belgium in 1880 and ran a family dairy business at 607 Lemay until the 1920s. Not far from where you’re at. Great to finally see rebirth of the Eastside.
translation: my ancestors were settler colonialists that participated in the anti-blk and anti-indigenous laws, cultures and the resultant financial windfalls from such endeavors. They were successful at this thereby propping up my family, and wyte supremacy till this day.
The logistics here, an off the charts lesson in mess reappropriation.
Boxes, schematics, paint cans, aprons, fans, drafting tables, half of a truck...What the HECK where the previous owners doing in that place? Lolol Having a live/workspace is a dream of mine. Looking for more uploads on the progress.
58 year old man watching from Cleveland. Our neighborhoods have been HAMMERED just like Detroit's, so, I feel a certain "kinship" with your efforts. When I heard the radio playing in your "garage", my first thought went to CKLW. (I dont even know if you are going to be aware of that refeence, but, hey, everyone loves the Beach Boys!
41 from Cleveland and I totally agree! Looking forward to how this progresses.
Hey Jim I' live near Flint in Michigan. I just want to say hi and tell you my husband and I were commenting today that when we're in Ohio it reminds us of of Michigan, kinda the same lifestyle
We feel kindred spirits towards Ohio and took a few vacations there😊
Lots of space and LOTS OF WORK. Hope the pockets are deep. A BLANK CANVAS.
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Congratulations, you two. Welcome to the neighborhood. Can't wait to see your finished project. ❤
You Are Living That Industrial Revival Renovation Dream. Can’t Wait To See Every Moment. I can see your vision x I have it, too!!!😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
I am so glad to find your channel. I have shopped chip and dent my whole adulthood. I am 71 and live by the motto only mattresses, undies, and shoes need to be new. All the rest is window dressing.
Wow! What a great find! Excited to see how you decide which pieces to reclaim and repurpose. There are SO many to use! Love the cabinets and shelves especially😊
OMG I'M SO GLAD TO SEE THIS! I grew up in Detroit and only just moved away last year. I've driven past this place for DECADES and always thought it would make a beautiful home. You just gained a fan in New Orleans, behbee! I'm sending you so much love and support!!!
I know that area so good. Lmao I beat you to all that architectural salvage by 40 years It's just really nice to see this new generation and detroit into the architectural salvage love it
Make the top floor into a green house and get tomato and plant starters going in Feb, and then by May, there are some people who make like 40K just off of Tomato plants
Oh my goodness! You guys have yourselfs a diamond in the rough there.
Gutt the whole structure, come up with a cool floor plan.
All reidiant heating in the floor, fir out all the exterior walls for insulation. And on and on and on.
Hope the roof is in good condition?
Happy remodeling ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi there! Just discovered your channel this morning. I LOVE old abandoned houses and properties and watching them get transformed. I will be watching this one for sure.
Since you're in the business of up-cycling materials, you should find so much in this warehouse to incorporate in your renovation.
Side note - I grew up in a town north of Detroit, Rochester, recognized the road and had good times on Belle Isle, back in the 70's. I'm really drawn to saving this building in my home state!
We love to hear that! We saved as much as we could to reuse not just in the home itself but we will be making some furniture too, make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss anything!
There are so many possibilities with a property like this
If that was me, I would have had a lot of yard sales, sailing that junk .
I’m really excited to see how you guys transform this space. Lots of potential.
The inside of the place looks like a perfect movie setting for one of the Walking Dead episodes or other spin off series'. Crazy! I could just imagine trying to find a building to survive in and this place would be so perfect to rehabitat for post apocalyptic living. So many good resources in here to make a great rehabbed hideout!
Congratulations! I am really happy for you and so freaken jealous. Bon chance.
What an amazing space! One of my favorite thing is the outdoor space. Most industrial buildings don’t have the space for a great outdoor area. Wow. That side yard is beautiful. I can only imagine the potential. Your creativity can go wild! Can’t wait to see the progress and final product!!!
Bo...you got a beautiful eyes and a beautiful soul !! You're a good person. Greetings from Italy
Hell! I just noticed you have loads of previous stuff for me to watch. OH JOY!
It's awesome I'm so envious of you guys.
Good Luck. You are a natural communicator. Can't wait to see what you do with the place.
Thank you! Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any updates!
My interest is peaked. New subscriber! 👋
The plan is SIMPLE but NOT EASY: bedroom first so you can lay your head down after a long day of transforming, Kitchen second so you can reduce the time you need to go out to eat, third you do an entertainment space (not elaborate) so you can take a moment to breathe with your food and reset your mind from the hard day's work. After that, it's what ever is easiest (to have visible proof of progress, as completing tasks motivates further effort), and/or bathrooms so as to accommodate more assistance. Clean a room, repair the room, bring the room to neutral, rinse and repeat OR place in basic living condition. I'd go with bringing it to neutral and then moving to the next space because how you delineate spatial usage may change by the end. Congratulations on making such a thing happen, it is quite an accomplishment and I look forward to seeing your completed effort.
Wow!...I lived in a wearhouse in that neighborhood, it was located on the corner of East Jefferson and Jefferson Court right across the street from pop's car Wash. I knew one of the owners of your current Warehouse back in 2006, her name was Vicky, she had a husband but I never met him. I think they moved and someone else bought the, and you guys got it. I was so surprised to see the condition of the warehouse when you guys got it. I really hate that I let my warehouse go. Really would like to meet you guys when you guys have the time.
It’s going to be a hard and wonderful journey. Wishing you both the very best and May your home be exactly what you envisioned.
I love warehouses too! so happy to see you doing this. congrats!
Definitely excited to watch the full transformation!
It's great it was full of stuff. Kept people out and from destroying the walls.
This will be amazing. In my area someone turned a mid century modern bank into thier home the aesthetics are so beautiful I wish I could see an inside.
This is my dream and I can't wait to see all of the updates! I would turn that truck bed into a jacuzzi!
I’m very happy for you. Huge project. You saw past the clutter of the past. I will follow your mission
beautiful building, just WOW.
Cool warehouse, and idea. I would keep the shop area a shop and maybe put the living area upstairs.
Love it. Keep up the good work. Detroit needs more ppl like you all.
The utilities and water bill is gonna be astronomical.
Love your vision!
Subscribe to see our vision come to life!
So exciting! Love this! It is inspiring!
Thanks so much!!
I love this building. Some of the former owners used to have amazing fun art in the front yard. From 2000-2017, I drove in front of it 1-2 times per week. I cannot tell you how much I love it. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I am so jealous. :D
Very cool!
Very exciting!
Great building and lifestyle. Thank you for sharing 👍
This is awesome! Can't wait to see it finished.
Wow. What a lot of potential, but also what a lot of work ahead for you. I am impressed at what you do with reclaimed materials. I can't wait to see what you can do with the place and all of the stuff.
Good video. Entertaining

Can’t wait to watch your journey with your home
I admire the mission and your incredible vision!
So exciting and so much potential in that space. What an amazing home / shop that is going to be!
I can't wait to see the after photos! I've thought about doing this in Cleveland for a while. You guys are inspiring me!
We grew up near Gratiot and Gunston in the "D" and appreciate the goldmine of materials that you found and find in those old buildings. Thanks for saving and reusing all that cool stuff. Subscribing to watch this transformation!
Good for you love Detroit Windsor Ontario Canada happy for you
This is a pretty exciting project. Glad to see your energy!
what a cool project. I will look for update videos, first time on this channel. What a gorgeous couple . I am in G.R. area , a couple hrs n.w. of Detroit.
This is sick. Wishing you guys luck and energy! Many years ago I visited detroit and went to some amazing wharehouse shows in spaces like this. If you keep the posts coming on this project it's gonna pop off on yt.
The building is beautiful and so is the yard .I just subscribed and am looking forward to see how you renovate this space. I am a Michigander and I don't live far from Detroit. Bo your eyes are stunning!
Looks like a lot of great stuff
Y’all are the coolest! Do you know what happened to the previous owners?
I can't wait to watch what you do!
Brings back a lot of memories my childhood was spent on second and Selden I live in California now lots of luck to you ❤

What an awesome building! This will be fun!!
Actually there’s lots of stuff that can be used to make other things, too.
Just found your channel know I am going to enjoy watching your journey.
I think that is amazing. It’s the first time I’ve seen your show. I bet you guys found a lot of treasures in there.
Great project. Could make a really substantial roof garden. Chickens and a roof garden.
You two are amazing! It takes a lot. My friend and I saved a house iht a past fire too. Tookin genuity and...work! Subbed.
Omg I have followed you on IG for a while now. Didn't even realize you had a YT channel. This is amazing and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
i just lucked into finding your channel. i love your ethos and will watch with excitement from canada❤
This is going to be great. COngrats on following such an excellent dream. So much positivity here!!! Love your work ethos!!
You two should have a television show. I would not miss one episode. Loving it 😊😊
Based on how this county works....im sure they (or at least) 1 of them have the connections
I prefer warehouse or workshop vs house. New sub hope to see what you do to this place
I just love it !
What a nightmare scenario having to get rid of all that crap. Im having a hard time just cleaning out my garage at home. Im going to follow and subscribe to see how you transform this warehouse into a home. You have stunning eyes btw!
I’m here for it!
This going to be so cool!!!
God bless you in your endeavors 😊
Beautiful property!
just found your channel, love it
OMG, the tools she left behind! That antique planer! Yikes, I would have a ball going through that stuff! New sub here. I love what you do.
Just found you guys. What a cool adventure and I love the re-use ethos. You just picked up another sub!
New subscriber. Can't wait to see the journey. Best of luck! P.s. your eyes are stunning.
Love from Toledo ❤❤❤❤
All that industrial lighting!!! I come from a line of make it work people. I get this.
Awesome guys 😎🔥
What an amazing property
I can imagine the cost to keep that place warm in the winter. Property taxes will more than likely try to run you over. I lve the place though, I have been looking for a second spot in a community similar, but, it's a challenge in the DMV. Congratulations and good luck
Wish you were a touch closer....I love this kind of work. It would be fun to spend a day with sleeves rolled up!
( I took over a storage spot...it took me a month of Sundays to clear out the old stuff. I sorted and recycled every last piece of paper.....but after some months I began moving my stuff in. It was easy to fool with my things and put off the final cleaning....but I would do it the very same way next time ). Fun for me.
Good luck! And God speed!
Super Awesome ❤❤
I think it's beautiful, I do have one thing to say I owned my own cleaning company before I retired and be very careful when removing that title, on the floor make sure it is really wet because most likely it has asbestos into it just keep it wet and you won't have to worry about inhaling you don't have to go crazy, and use a wet and dry back with a HEPA filter, to pick up any of the water debris. It can be a very costly adventure throwing it in a hazardous waste dump, just be very careful and definitely where a real good respirator also
After living and working there for 40 years I was so glad to move out of that crime ridden hell hole. Good luck.
Very interesting.
Kudos to you two! This is my hometown and curious where exactly this is. I’m into land reuse and currently buying lots from the city for community Greenspace and garden. Good luck in your endeavors.
