Fun fact - your torso is half a bag of air, because lungs. The grunt prevents the air from escaping which makes the torso more rigid so it can transfer leverage from one side of the body to another. Which is just another way of saying that it makes you stronger.
SCIENCE! 😊
It IS proven science. They studied a variety of athletes and the grunt improved performance.
What would be the difference between a grunt and holding your breath?
is this bill nye?

Grunting is +100 Coolness
came for the crochet, stayed for the reno
Yeah me too😂
Same
Will stay for the Reno and crochet when she’s done on the house
so real though 🤣
Same with me!
it’s so ironic that your house is a prime example of why some regulations are needed… and then regulations are preventing you from fixing it 😭
a complete oxymoron.
Theres regulations and then theres bureaucratic nonsense. It is a good reg to require certain building practices. It is bulllshit bureaucratic nonsense to require a permit for every little fucking thing like seems to be the case with this municipality.
@@1320crusier yup that’s the point i was making
I find it unbelievable, it has all become so dictatorial and absurd. I might live in what many like Trump would consider a sh*thole country, but it's soooo much more free and I'm thankful for that. Sometimes things are the opposite of what they seem. By the way, we weren't forced to get the "safe and effective" treatment either.
Nope.
TH-cam recommendations be like, "Don't know what to watch? Check out this Canadian couple constructing a house in reverse!"
Yup, sounds about right. I watched the whole series up until this episode in an evening.
I came here from Instagram. But the theory holds there too
You're better off watching one of the excavator channels - they'd get this whole project accomplished in one day of real time, and 20 minutes of yt video time, as opposed to dragging it out for multiple years - but they don't have the cute folk music in the background
@gorak9000 tell us you've missed the point without telling us you've missed the point. If all you wanna see is a house destroyed by a piece of equipment in a few minutes, by all means go to one of those "excavator channels" Thats not what the rest of us are here for
@@scottcol23same here, it’s just taken two for me
"If I hit this and it doesn't go up we have an issue"
quick thud
"We have an issue" 🤣
I think I watched that 3x
The house is going to be gorgeous when finished. I hope Architectural Digest does a piece covering it when y'all get done.
The Architectural Digest should do a piece specifically about all the horrible work that they have found in the house. I lost count of the number of types of shoddy work in there. The joists and steel beams just butted against the house and left hanging still gets to me.
Obviously it would be an article about what you should NOT do when building a house.
That would be absolutely wonderful. And I think they should put these videos all together and do a full documentary on it.
This would be amazing.
They are going to bankrupt before they finish, mark my word. They have NO idea what they got them selves into . That home should have been entirely demo, and rebuilt from foundation up .
@@Naqoi
It's certainly not what I expected from a house built by an architect. You'd think, someone like that would watch the builders very closely during the construction process.
Tip from my dad: Use slings or belts to carry heavy items. Put the slings under the load and use them as handles. This will allow you to straighten your back and lift with your legs, and it will be much more comfortable and easier to do it.
Dad tips for the win!
my weekly obsession CONTINUESSSS
Every upload I’m clicking so fast 😂😂
Yasssssssss!!!!!!
I am fully committed to watching this series until the end of times.
It may be til the end of time before it's all over. 😂
I'm just amazed you guys managed to not break any of the glass. I'm really enjoying this whole journey. Thank you!
Or body parts......
Those big panels are tempered, as long as you are careful with the edges it should be fine.
Knock on wood for saying that 😂
Sir Nick is a keeper. I am so impressed with his patience and how just two of you took down that roof and filmed it. Your view is so worth all this trouble.
He is so supportive! Every episode has at least 1 if not way more times where he acknowledges their hard work and congratulates both of them ❤
*he
Yeah if more people taught rookies the way he does people would probably think learning new things was way less scary.
Jenna is soooo lucky to have someone like Nick, who appears to be very knowledgeable and is super patient. My husband and I would divorce after the first day of demo 😂❤
They are perfect for one another. That makes it fun to watch.
The mom in me is always saying, “be careful!”
Watching Jenna standing on the top of the ladder.
I know! Me too.
Oh to be young and invincible again.
Yes!!!
screaming!!!
That bin company missed an opportunity for the saying "Been there, done that" but instead, "Bin there, Bin that" because, you know, the stuff in the Bin has been that.
I think there’s a bin company in my area called Bin There, Dump That
Much as I love watching you on your project, from a UK health and safety perspective, and as a chartered building surveyor, my heart has been in my mouth watching you work so close to edges with no protection, lifting and supporting heavy weights and ladders and straddling ladders. As for working so close to such large panes of glass with heavy objects -- arghhh! Please think about your safety and wear a hard hat.😱 You have been lucky so far, the risk of injury or death isnt worth it. Even Jenna commented that she doesn't want to loose you Nicky when you stumbled backwards.
My family is in the construction industry, and I have a great respect for OSHA. This project has been giving me high blood pressure and yet I have to watch it. It’s kind of like my version of a horror movie. I love this kind of stuff, but yeah, the two of them doing this makes me kind of anxious. My family are professionals and they’ve been hurt. My uncle died falling off of a roof when he decided to blow off OSHA guidelines because it was his own personal project. 😢 he knew better!
@@twinnishGood for you. Everything you consume and enjoy in life is done by people who take risks. Don't hamper on people who do that, just because it makes you uncomfortable.
I started to watch as a lover of all things mid century and now I seem to be watching a health and safety horror movie.
Lose.
@@dsma2023"Good for you" that their uncle died? What an AH comment.
After a traumatic brain injury in 2016, my ex husband (this was before we got married) spent three months in a rehab facility. There was a guy in there who had his head busted open by a branch he was cutting. At the time of the accident he was 23. His accident was in the early 80s. He had spent most of his life in that facility. Get some hard hats, guys.
And NEVER wear shorts when working. Made me crazy watching...
@@marissaalonzo7997why no shorts? Do you really think a piece of 20oz cotton is going to help. I do this work every day. In pants or shorts, a shard of wood will stick in you. At least in shorts the medics don’t have to cut the pant legs off.
What, were you married for 5 minutes?
@@MaryCumbersnatch four days shy of seven years. Married in 2017, divorced in 2024
Better yet hire a demo crew for the big heavy stuff. it's not that expensive.
Everytime your swung like golf all I could picture is the tool flying into the window...not a good thought hahahaha
Same 😅
@@reading.bee. glad I'm not the only one
Was gritting my teeth…😂
@Unpeturbed me too.
She wouldn't be a very good golfer if she let go of the club though. I cringed at first but then noticed she has very good form, she's clearly played a decent amount with some training
If you need to take out any more beams, saw through them at an angle (like this \ at one end and / at the other) so the beam is still supporting itself at each end. You can then lift it out in a more controlled way. Loving the demo!
Smart!!
@@ThePolypam pinched off another channel but sooo sensible when you think about it!
Take care you don't pinch your saw blade when you do that! Depending on the saw you use it can get stuck or it can kick back.
Plus they are already doing good to get them lifted/held to guide them down. No way they could lift it out of a V channel like that by hand
@@dascandy span some 2x4's across either side of the intended cut and use ratchet straps to support either side.
Well, if it were me? I would ask if its OK for me to use the home for camping purposes, then get the BIGGEST tent I could find and drape it over the structure and put in a few wooden arching ribs to support the 'tent' so the place doesn't start to rot from the wet.
iths already rotten though
Lol I like the sentiment, but I’m afraid that boat sailed looooong ago 😂
I love how this is just a series of home Reno, but home demo, and then the cutest commentary between two Bestfriends who also happen to be lovers 😊
The fact that this house is still standing is kind of a miracle 😂
I'm so impressed with Nick's knowledge of construction and--more importantly--DEstruction. With a stepdad and grandfather who are/were both master carpenters, and my experience in residential real estate, watching the reveal of how BADLY this house was built is shocking! But then, we wouldn't have such great videos! Plus, a sawzall is called a sawzall because it saws all!
So poorly built and featured in a magazine (I think an Architectural one)!! If feels like on earthquake would have sent this house into a tailspin.
I've got only 2 words for you... HARD HATS!!! (You wear a bike helmet when cycling. So wear a hard hat when doing demolition work.) 👷👷
watching her stand under the beams while he cut them made me so nervous!
@@Pollyjpocketwhile practicing golf swings and not paying attention.
@@Pollyjpocketyes! It’s actually starting to aggravate me. It would cost nothing compared to what they’ve spent on matching overalls and pink hammers and other accessories before getting basic safety equipment. I actually don’t know if I can keep watching…
Along with a dust mask, safety glasses and steel capped toes.
I tell them every week: HELMETS.
i love the word "yeet" - i feel like english really needed a term for throwing something recklessly, with force and abandon - and it somehow encapsulates all of that innately. amazing invention of a word by a girl on vine who i have never known the name of but have the greatest admiration for lol. i think technically it might count as a millennial word, originating from vine? idk. anyways nick being so excited to use the word yeet and saying it so pronounced made me laugh a lot, love it
Love this word too.
I once read that the opposite of yeet is yoink. I think about this an absurd amount.
For those that don’t know
th-cam.com/video/JqdDrYuefEQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3slxuBKFsPeuTzpw
“Fling” was good enough for my generation, you whippersnappers. And it even evolved to mean something naughty. Let’s see yeet do that!

YEET
Man - it breaks my heart to see all that scrap wood going to the dump! Glad you're keeping the longer beams though. I make birdhouses & feeders out of scrap I find and seeing that dumpster full of wood pieces makes my heart skip a beat 💓
How frustrating that it takes the city so long to give you full permission. I don't understand it. You bought the house, why can't you get rid of the broken roof? Fingers are crossed! Thank you for your videos, best moments on my Wednesdays ❤
It's kind of funny how frequently people who work for city's and town's building and zoning departments drag their feet on doing their jobs... almost like it's a sweet government gig with not a lot of actual work.
@@caesarweasel definitely! And it's literally the same in every country on this planet. Ridiculous
BC is a full socialist big government nanny state.
this is what happens when we have TOO MUCH government..
There is probably a reason but the reason is likely bureaucratically difficult or they are leery of being responsible for someone getting hurt and suing. I love these guys and this project but them doing all the work with only the help of an engineer and maybe a few people behinds the scenes has made me mega nervous since that's what it seems like on the face of it. I'm also a public servant in a completely different sector and I can tell you we are very risk averse in even a very well managed environment.
I love how the two of you communicate with one another. So gentle, kind, and supportive. 💚🌿
How you have not broke a window is a true miracle! If I was doing the stuff you've accomplished the first big chunk of wood I pushed down would have went right thru one of those $2000.00 windows. AMAZING!...AMAZING!
Coming from an owner of an auto glass company I think those windows are probably more like 20k ….theres no way you could get those huge thermopanes installed for 2k. I think they would need to be sourced from an industrial contractor…they probably should have nailed plywood over them during demo for some protection
The "heh, you cut your leg!" is like straight out of a horror movie right before she gets some sort of rust-based zombie infection and bam zombie movie
hope she's gotten her tetanus shots!!
😂😂😂😂😂
iZombie was set in Seattle, after all; why not Canada?
That’s the plot of the movie Splinter right there
My partner and I used to do demolition. We were working on an older house, in Vancouver actually. And he got a teensy splinter in his arm. Within two days his arm was so swollen he couldn’t bend his arm. He ended up in the hospital for two weeks and then another week of going in daily for more intravenous antibiotics. He had such a bad infection he almost lost his arm from the elbow down. It was bad.
No matter how small the wound, always take the two minutes to clean it out and bandage it up. You don’t need to run the risk of a very nasty infection. Especially with the amount of insects and animals that were calling that place home, not to mention whatever bacteria grows in the damp and dark.
You should post online for free lumber and it might save you a charge for that bin.
I’ve been wondering about that but so many ants and termites
It’s all rotted and useless, if it has any use, it’s firewood
@@KnitsByNayla lotsa cheapass locals looking for cheap supplies also don't have cars in this area. Ask me how I know :) They're located just a bit too out of the way for folks to be scrounging their scraps for new projects.
Or firewood
she paid $2 million for the house with a minimum down-payment of $400K and a monthly mortgage payment of $9,000+. they don't need fire-wood income...
The "embarassing" brace looks like an engineering PhD when compared to some of the things in that house lol
I know right? I'm honestly scared that the rest of the roof is going to fall on them at the slightest breeze.
it's so fun seeing nick picking up jenna's mannerisms 1:44
I love how Nicky offers you choices in what thing you want to do and never underestimates your strength 💪 He’s so good at giving gentle guidance without bossing anyone around!!
Adding shims to a hole drilled too large is an acceptable fix. It should have been glued. Lag screws are no longer considered acceptable for this use case. Between seasonal changes in wood dimension, deterioration of the screw and wood over time allows them to loosen over time. Through bolts only.
And yet it lasted 70 years....just sayin'
@@rrmcbride555Last? It flew right out of the hole.
@@rrmcbride555it held together more or less from Thing around help thing hold eachother. If a house is build for it like timber house one thing this was not. It's oure luck most of it and some of this cheap ways most likely the reason It's in so bad shape. If not done all cut corners it migth been in a great shape. 70 years is not the old really compared to really old houses
I have used shims plenty, but don’t think I’d appreciate shims for a large structural beam!
@@drooplug Yes, 70 years later. As it was being torn down and rotten.
the fact you haven't broken every window in the house=kudos!
LOL the sound of that beam tumbling down your hill reminded me of when Pippin knocked the bucket with the attached skeleton down the well in Moria and alerted the orcs. I did say aloud “Fool of a Took!" 😂
😁😁
OMG. “In the wait list” with the sad music 😢. Killing me!
Nick learning the word yeet is genuinely so adorable
Hey guys great work!!! One tip from a female builder to another is if your pulling nails and you run out of leverage add a small chuck of 2x4 under the hammer head to give you more leverage 😊 good luck with the licensing
Better still, put the claw on the shaft of the nail, and tip the hammer to the side instead of in the direction of the curve. If they are a finish type of nail, just pull the head of the nail through the wood instead of trying to get a hold of the head and pulling it out.
I would love to hear more about your plans for the house! Are you demoing everything? Are your plans to rebuild similar to the original house? Sending love from Texas ❤
They go into it in more detail on the patreon podcast. They plan on rebuilding, as much as they are allowed to with the new regulations.
Grunting does actually work! It’s called a Kiap a fellow grad student did his thesis on it 😊
"We need to have an air-check."
*pans up to the open sky*
"I think we'll pass. Why wouldn't we pass?"😂😂
I hope you get your permits soon. It must be frustrating❤
Very true about grunting or screaming. As a retired L&D nurse we would encourage mom's to do so when pushing. Also, I am confused as to what, if anything but the fireplace, will be left.
JENNAAA I’ve been loving these renovation videos but have also been missing the thrifting, crochet and knitting, room makeovers etc videos!!! If you ever get time I’d really appreciate!! 💕
Watching Jenna at 20:33, I believe she's beyond the crocheting
I absolutely adore Nick's finds and fun facts about how this house was built mistake by mistake.
Ask the City to go over in detail exactly what is holding up the permit. Make an appointment have them sit with you and talk.
TOP REASONS FOR PERMITTING ISSUES:
1. Little people in big jobs.
2. Neighbor across the street has not paid the inspector the bribe required to issue the rest of the DEMOLITION ONLY PERMIT! (The neighbor's are really going to enjoy the view once the house and pool are totally gone.)
3. The origional builder/owner did not have a permit to build it originally in the 1950's. SOOOOOOOO now there is no record of it's existence! ( They can't issue a demo permit on something that doesn't exist. )
4. The lawsuit from the people down the hill has not been settled yet! ( They are suing for personal damages caused when the removal of the trees and shrubbery had exposed the nudists whom live below to prying eyes. )
lol all excellent reasons!
you forgot "City official envy" when they didn't get the deal...
I still can't believe they haven't let you guys do the whole roof. Hopefully you guys can get the second half off soon so you can get to putting a new roof on.
Yall see these comments right! many of us love this house get fixed up but no one want yall to get hurt. Please wear safety gear. Try at least ❤ please be safe!!
You guys are doing a fantastic job its insane
You guys work so incredibly well as a team. I couldn’t imagine having this level of efficiency whilst building a dream home together- bless your patience ❤😂 Phenomenal progress in such a short span, despite the permit stress!
Go Nicky Go Nicky Go Jenna Go Jenna 🎉🎉🎉 I love being on this journey with you!! Thank you for uploading ❤
It gives me SUCH satisfaction to watch your process. What an incredible place you will have by the end! We just finished building a house with a builder (I designed it alongside our engineer) and didn't have any of the skills to do it ourselves. It's always been a secret dream to do something like you are now. I appreciate the humor, patience and determination with which you face this enormous challenge. Thanks for sharing folks! Wish I lived in your area to come sit by the pool and toast to your success when you're all done! Wishing you all the best...I'll be tuning in!
NGL its stressing me out watching you work without hard hats. Please be safe!
Go get a genie lift. Buy a used one and sell it after the project. It's cheaper than a broken window or injury.
Nick at 6:30 is me watching all your home reno videos 😂 the only thing to do is laugh during a project this crazy!
I am on the edge of my seat about this demolition and the rebuild that's coming!!!!!❤❤ you guys are amazing!!
if Jenna just takes all the footage from this and puts it in reverse it be like the original construction and id die from laughter
I cant get over the amount of work you 2 have done 🎉
These videos are the highlight of my week!
14:54 look at that confidence in front of a window. Pro Wii golf ⛳️ player right there.
I hope you are both SO PROUD OF YOURSELVES for, my god, what you have both achieved!!!!!!! Watching it all, from the beginning, it is also so obvious that you are both perfect for each other. The way you have both worked so diligently as a team......you can conquer anything life will throw at you after doing this. Sending all the best from 'down under'. Please continue to take care guys. I can't wait to see how the house is and seeing you both sitting in it relaxed and enjoying your dream home. It will truly be worth it. You are both inspirational as to what you can achieve when you really want to. I take my hat off to you.
I wonder what percentage of the house will be left once the initial removal is done
Love your style, it's like a burst of creativity in every video!
You guys are so inspiring, the way you speak to each other and support each other is just gorgeous to watch. Think my husband and I would have had a gazillion arguments by now
I love how much u both clearly respect each other💗💗
This episode has unfortunately just reinforced my belief that it is not a question of "if" someone will get hurt during this process, but "when", "who", and "how serious" someone will be hurt.
I know, my mother's heart is in my throat. I wish they would wear helmets.
@@kmanyrivers lol no need to there is no roof!:-)
Y'all are getting more done on this house with all these obstacles, than most contractors with no obstacles!
... It's so crazy fun to watch the two of you!
I have been watching from the beginning. I am shocked, and disappointed, with the struggles yall are facing getting approval to make this home better, not only for yourself but also for the neighboring homes and the community. I hope you get all the approvals you need promptly. Yall are doing a great job and I love watching every video!
Love their way of communicating !🥰
@5:00 Nick making the awkward Dad joke about "yeeting" the wood 😆 He'll be ready for dadhood once this house nonsense is done with :D
The one thing I miss from you is crochet and knitting and sewing I want to see more of it I love it
You guys are the best example of a relationship ♥️
I have just binged watched this whole series and I love it! No cleaning, washing or dog walking done. Did feed the dogs whilst I watched you in the kitchen. Just going out to walk them now and I know I’ll still be laughing at you swinging on the electric wire! ❤
So close to 1 Million Subscribers Jenna 🩷🩷🩷
I miss your fiber craft videos. don't get me wrong I love the renovating videos and I think it's amazing what you and your partner are doing, bring this house back to life its very fun to watch and learn from. I've been watching your older videos for the past few weeks and it's so cool to see the older projects you've made. keep up the great work I always look forward to your videos every week. your sponsor for the video remind me of how much I do miss your other contant.
I gotta say, I just love how every videos of the house just end on a random moment !
I look forward to each new posting. You 2 really get each other! Hoping for your new permit!!
Happy Almost 1 MILLION!!!!!!!!!
A shim is a thing wedged, shoved, or otherwise introduced into a space to make something that is too small or too loose stay in place.
I'm literally watching this as I am tearing out carpet strips. I've been flipping my 1950s house for two years doing a lot of the same work as you guys. Videos like these make feel like we are all in this together lol!
Hang in there we are all rooting for you!!!
how many of the crafty crochet/knit/fabric girlies are still here? (girlies includes everyone btw❤)
Came to Jenna for the crafty creative content, stayed for the house!
Probably all of us! Just as much fun if not more!
hey jenna i just wanna say i love watching your videos and i’m gonna be with yous throughout the hole house video
I don’t want to jinx it but I’m AMAZED every time one of the giant glass windows isn’t shattered by something falling 😅😂 true skill
Have been watching your video's for 2 years Jenna, when I was still sewing. I have started crochet and knitting inspired by you during the last year while my partner and I were renovating our house (also total gut, but smaller than you (though made out of brick))!! Just finished, feels amazing, we had so much fun and by the looks of it so will you :)
(Also, crochet helped me stay sane during the renovation in terms of mental health, nice tip)
I also remember my nail hammering days so well hahaha. GOod thing is: those days will pass!!
I get the feeling you guys go through like a dozen reciprocating saw blades a day, or more. But also, one of the easier ways of getting rid of old shrubs is cutting the roots like you did there. I learned that recently after tackling some ancient bushes that had annoyed me for years and assumed I'd never be able to get out because of their location.
In the end it is going to be a demolition. The roof is not good, the beams are not fixed safely, the window and frames need to be replaced, the electricity, water, gutters. Maybe only the foundation is good, but looking at how many building errors have been made, I am worried
Dude… you’re kidding, right? You have to be kidding.
There is NO electrical. There is NO plumbing. There is NO roof. There is nothing. They HAD to take the electrical and plumbing out to take the roof off, and they HAD to rebuild the roof from scratch….all the wood beneath the roof was damaged since it was a flat roof.
You have literally no idea what you are talking about.
Everything you listed that was “done wrong” literally doesn’t exist anymore….
Oh, and they are going to replace all the windows that need replacing. They are old, and rotted, and they are MORE than well aware. Custom windows like that take 6 months to a year to be made and to come in, and the structure of the house needs to be in place first. You don’t put windows into a new construction house until the man frame and roof are on. You know literally nothing.
@@adamhoeg1311 are you replying to another comment or just didn't read it very well? all they said was the project is full demo due to issues with the listed items. this project is clearly near full demo.
Nick is definitely a keeper. Not only cute very handy. The house is going to be gorgeous once done.
I'm super impressed with Nick and Jenna every time I see a new video. You two are amazing!!
100 points for your commitment, but how often have you asked yourself whether you shouldn't just burn the place down? It would definitely solve the ant problem. Jenna's technical naivety is very likeable. I like your videos, I hope the bureaucracy doesn't get in your way.
Because then they would be arrested for arson.
Yeet and yoink are some of my favorite words, I’m gen X. 😂
Nice job! I just finnished bingewatching all the episodes so far! Im amazed! Great humor you too got!
It's amazing that house didn't fall down long ago!! Keep up the good work!!
my weekly obsession CONTINUESSSS INDEED !!!!!!!!
I can’t remember why u guys are removing the beams?
The decisions someone made when building this house are mind boggling! Every episode pretty much I’m blown away by what you find 😂
Also, air test when the house is totally opened up to um, air?
You guys are amazing, working right next to all those windows and I didn't see one broken!!!
7:00 All these little issues you've found with the construction and the ways they cut corners or didn't do things right-this house has still stood the test of time. Despite poor maintenance, it's still standing. If it were properly maintained, this house, with all its imperfections, would still be standing strong 50 years from now.
Unless The Big One happens. We're due a 9.0 earthquake, could happen any time (or in 100 years)
For the other half, it might be easier if you use a block and tackle to set those beams down so you dont risk yeeting the beam through the floorboards or a window.
Really cool to watch this work on a MCM!
Congratulations! You’ve done so well and made a lot of headway. Kudos to both of you. ❤❤
I just happy to see you guys working together
