New subscriber! You guys are brave to take on an old house like this. Looking forward to your plans. The wood is gorgeous. I grew up in an old house; just because it’s old doesn’t make it enjoyable to live in! That bathroom sink🙄, I know it’s original, but going back and forth from hot to cold to get a moderate temp is a pain! The kitchen is no loss to lose. Many problems you will encounter. Will be watching👍🏻💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Please keep the front door, it's the signature of the house. My 1935 house here in Florida still has it's original front door. My brother says tear the house down, but I won't, it still has the quirky old character.
They’re flippers. I don’t think they care much about keeping the original character. It’s only about money. That upstairs bath is an example. I understand needing to redo it. But keep that sink and medicine cabinet! They’re original to the house! Use them somewhere. In the basement bathroom, if nothing else.
We are not flippers, haha. We save what we can to reasonably put the home back to a clean, safe and habitable space. And we absolutely will preserve as much history as we can. We love the character. If you know about these older homes it isn't always feasible to retain everything to get to new standards.
I would think twice before turning that into a rental property. It's going to get trashed and that would be a sin. I would repair, not modify the bathroom, keep the original fixtures and install ceramic tile. I would also have an electrical assessment done. That house is too nice to be a rental property.
We are having the electrical updated- removing as much knob and tube as reasonable. The bathroom we have some decent plans for to give it an old school feel.
@@buildcr Thanks for answering - very gracious, as I'm aware you don't have to. Glad to hear the knob and tube is going (for safety) and I'm sure you'll be happy with what you do in the bathroom, after all, it is your property and you must be happy with it before all other considerations. Wish you luck.
Definitely not! Keeping all wood work but the kitchen and bathroom are not salvageable. Will be keeping wood floors, all wood trim but need to update from knob and tube and get the kitchen and bath updated.
That building is vintage gold. Keep as much as you can, please.
That's the plan for sure.
I love this old home the woodwork and floors are gorgeous and I love the old school bathroom
This house is gorgeous and want to live there myself. Loved the bathroom as well we will try to put some old school features back into it.

Kept it! Will have to do more to the lock at some point but no need to remove the door at this point.

@@buildcr that is good to know. Since I’ve just found your channel, I had to assume, based on other channels. Maybe I’ll stick around.

I’m with you on it being a rental. I love these older homes. This house is beautiful!!!
Don t demo history out of your house!

Please don't paint the wood. Please keep the character of the home
Absolutely not! It's a shame that so much had already been painted here.
