As you go through the demolishings, it becomes so clear how neglected this house was. Even though it's a gem of its era, it will be difficult to save a lot of things just because it's all old, water damaged and mouldy. STILL, keeping the original shell and making new homages to its former glory days will be the best thing ever!
Honestly for how long it was neglected, it's in surprisingly good condition for being a 90% wood constructee house, they've got a lot more that's usable than I honestly would have thought, what it looks like to me is that the water leaks were happening in a select few parts of the house which is obviously where the floors are ruined and the walls are absolutely disgusting, but the places that seem to be pretty dry should be good, like for example when they did the stairs you could hear that the wood for the stairs hasn't been compromised in any way as it still has that nice hardwood "thunk" sound when you hit it with something which shows that it hasn't absorbed much moisture if any and also doesn't have any rot in those pieces of wood
Or rotten. It's not like wood grow back if started to rotten and people not really get that
RIP Remy he truly died doing what he loved cookin in the kitchen

Best comment ever 🏆

Who is Remy?

This series is so healing for me to watch, I was in a relationship for a long time with someone who would get so frustrated at me if I did anything slow or not right, or messily when we would work on things together, especially house things. Watching you two work together, being silly, being unphased, being unreactive, not getting frustrated but laughing and relishing in the chaos of it all... It's just such a reminder for me that this is what I wanted in my life, and it can exist. I don't want to take things so seriously, I don't want so much frustration at little mistakes or messes. Ugh please continue posting this series I will be watching every episode. you are now one of my favourite youtubers!
🚩stay away from narcissists
“…it’s not structural…” “No it’s not , but I wonder if it became structural…”
This exchange perfectly encapsulates a down to the studs / gut job / renovation on a neglected home.
I have one of these from removing some shelves from my 1950s basement. They surely didn't intend to make it load bearing but it's bearing load.
Oops in the washer dryer?
Here’s a pro tip I learned from my contractor.
When you are sweeping up after a demolition; tape down a big piece of scrap of cardboard using painter’s tape.
Sweep everything onto the cardboard.
Pull it up, bend it a little and pour your trash into your bags for the dump.
Way better than the little dust pan I was struggling with
I hope this saves your back a little bit of distress.
I love what you are doing!
Thats a great tip!
Additional idea: A big giant contractor's dustpan is one of the best things I bought for home improvement! It's like twice as big as a standard one, and strong.
Maw. 😢 I liked the tile.
A aluminum snow shovel and a push broom .. that’s my preference .
A battery operated multi tool saw makes taking down any wood easier
Before you scrap the washer and dryer check if they work. Older appliances usually last years longer than modern ones. You could install them in the garage to make more room in the kitchen.
Yep! My house was built in 1920 and came with a washer and dryer from the late 90's and they're the BEST. Much better than my mom's brand new set hah!
I was just going to say this same thing! :) Those newer prettier washer and driers usually end up dying after 2 years.
It also take 10 times the electricity to run so a new machine is a money saver. Old equipment run with fire sure but electricity not really
Yes! I purchased my home in the early 80’s and my washer and dryer are going strong!
theyre 2010s kenmores by the look of them, not exactly quality machines. If they were older like I had original 87' whirlpool heavy duty's id say keep them but those kenmores are nothing special and its hard to get parts for them now.
The orange tiles and blue inner cabinets are so unique!! Please, if you cannot salvage anything, at least keep little samples to get them color matched. Find some way to add it back into the finished space 🥰 -your local interior designer
Yes!!!!
My heart broke a little bit over the orange tiles.
My hope is that they're photographing as they go. Based on the first video, they seem to have commercial imagery of how the house originally looked that they could use for reference
Please keep the orange vertical tiles!! Not only are they "period" correct, but the shape, color, and texture are extremely hard to find, let alone the thick double glazing. You can clean off grout easily and spray with white vinegar to sterilize them & let dry in sunlight and they are ready to use. You can even use them as backslash. I hope you retain a MCM looking kitchen that has so much character vs. the sterile ugly crap kitchens so popular now with outdated granite, marble countertops and really basic boring tired design with ugly shacker cabinets. A tight flat face cabinet with bottom edge bevel cut allows them to open. A medium Chestnut color stain to a mahogany stain or even satin natural sheen were very popular. They do not ever look dated either, like the ugly shaker panel doors for cabinets. Satin sheen, wax, or lemon oil, French oil were all common finishes too. Tight grained bamboo with vertical grains could also be used if any tight grain woods or veneers are too pricey. 😊👍
You can do free stuff on marketplace, people just pick stuff up very quickly.
Saves on waste, recycle, reuse.
Flat roofs were de rigueur for mid century modern, but as you see from all the water damage, they demand more extensive maintenance. Putting the smallest slope, the water will flow off naturally. If you lived in the desert, it would be more manageable but it looks like you You are in a rainy area, flat roofs will demand more resources.
Good luck. I enjoy watching your progress.
You're literally living my dream: being able to afford buying an old house, cleaning, repairing and recondition it to build it back up as you wish. And specially, doing that with a partner that supports you, that shares the same goal, with whom you can work together and live there afterwards. I love these videos, please continue doing them and the longer, the better!
Living vicariously through this series every week. THIS IS KEEPING ME GOING
Between this chanel, Cole the Cornstar, and Lexi DYI with her hot mess houses all on CZcams....who needs HGTV when you have this much real life content.
I just need 30-minute videos, minimum, and I'll be happy. I need more!
@@ginadelsasso288do u watch midwest magic cleaning too?
@@ginadelsasso288 Ariel Bissett as well !!
I know I can’t wait for another one
Hole in kitchen floor was probably a dumbwaiter. That oven is iconic. Please invest in a push broom.
She should put a fire mens pole there
😂 All your thoughts throughout the video ❤
I try to save all my comments for the end too 😂I agree
It was likely a laundry chute
@@valerieoshea4871 If it wasn't, then it should be!
On the angled part of the counter there is a built in butcher block cutting board, KEEP THAT!! Those are really expensive and only need minimal work to recover.
That was my thought too!
Infested with rot and black mold. No thanks.
Here’s an electrical tip, invest in a voltage tester or “tick tester”. They’re only about $20 and can be used to determine whether or not a wire, outlet, or other device has active power running through it.
I think the guy Nick has an electrical background- he probably installed the new outlet, so I’d guess he has a multi meter / tester
Happy birthday Jenna, 28 is magical, I know because I've been 28 for 40 years now!
❤❤happy Birthday .
Yes! 31 years for me. :)
39 years for me. Happy birthday Jenna!
That's like My mother's mother, was 29 for decades until she became 80, then on her 81st birthday she said she was 39.😅
@@stevenkaskus6173 I stopped at 28 because my dad was 29 til he was a late great and I could never be as cool or old as him...
I always appreciate Nicks commentary about the house. He seems very smart and a great help for you with this project!
And cute, too. They're both adorable.
I mean he was asking if the kitchen cabinets were structural so…
@@trashflood7883he asked if they became structural… not if they were.
He's an Electrical Engineer, and built a house with his Dad from scratch last year...so yeah, he knows what he's doing. He also has a sense of humour
Are they married?
Every time you remove a wall or half wall the light just shines through. You are literally breathing new life and sunshine into this house. It’s so rewarding.
Guys before pulling your drywall you need Tyvek suits, plastic the walls keep mold from spreading across rooms, dry vac, mold mask filters, tape. Safety first.
this entire reno is a business expense....i love it. Happy birthday Jenna!!!
Sad to see the orange tiles go. They were so evocative of the era.
I agree but maybe she will repurpose them in the space ❤
Yes they were the best.
Not everyone likes orange tiles. I personally hate that colour and that era.
That made me sad. They’re beautiful mid century tiles
Same thoughts :(((
I would totally watch an hour long video of this. The matching outfits are cute
I am kinda sad about the loss of the orange half wall in the kitchen, i weirdly liked it :D
i recommend a Dolly for moving heavy stuff! like that fridge and other appliances! you will also need it for moving stuff in when the house is ready! also a push broom!
loving this series!
Fellow Canadian here Jenna. Fourteen years ago, I spent one hundred dollars on a dolly at Canadian Tire. One of the best purchases I ever made. I’m sure it would cost more now but still would be worth it.
@suemacalpine7006
I even got a dolly for 35$ at knockoff box store 10 years ago, and we still have it to this day !
You can get them SUPER CHEAP at estate sales. They're like really good old ones and they're like $5.
@@suemacalpine7006 Ditto on the dolly. Bought it in 1997, finally gave it to a friend who was moving a few years ago. I've only had to borrow it back a couple of times.
I don't disagree, but they have to bring everything down that half-set of stairs, so the dolly will only get them so far.
Personally I would have removed that railing ages ago. Would make getting things out to the garage so much easier if they could just slide everything over the ledge.
I kinda was digging the orange and turquoise combo in the kitchen. It will be interesting to see how you redesign it!
I loved the turquoise shelves inside the pantry!
With all this demo'ing, I'm surprised no ceiling has fallen down or nobody has got trapped in a broken floor. I'm living for this. You guys should just do a live. Would be fun for us to interact with you.
In one of the other episodes Nick knocked down some ceiling because he noticed it would’ve fallen on them. So I’m sure he did it elsewhere as well
*moving cabinets*
"At your pace, whatever you're comfortable with"
I love this man❤
Dang it's so sad everything is ruined, it would have been so cute to be able to keep the original kitchen! Maybe you can bring in some nods to the original later (I vote turquoise cabinet interiors!)
That's the first thing I noticed.
I feel like it wasn’t practical, the shape of it. The color is a personal choice though.
She definitely should replicate that style somewhere! I imagined for yarn storage
I want to sincerely apologize for my comments about being sad that you guys had to throw out the dresser. I wasn't thinking about all of the mold throughout your entire house.
I've cleaned out a few houses over the years, but those houses just had general neglect from people getting older, not houses with extreme mold and water damage problems, like what you guys are dealing with.
I understand that dealing with all these comments from people outside your situation, scrutinizing and criticizing every decision you make must be extremely stressful. I apologize and sincerely wish you guys the absolute best.
1. Lifting and moving straps (forearm forklift) are great for moving large or heavy items through hallways and stairs. It's what the delivery guys used to deliver my washer and dryer.
2. Do you have an Amazon wish list? After seeing the mold on the kitchen drywall, it makes me want to buy you new filters for your mask.
So glad I found your channel. I love seeing all the progress you're making!
Such a good call on the Amazon Wishlist! I imagine folks would love to help if possible 😊
Amen to the amazon wish list! I want to contribute!
Take it to the studs, especially with the mold and faulty electric, save what you can (appliances, etc that aren't affected by the mold).
They are heavily affected by rats though
I actually enjoy this video length. I find less than twenty minutes and more frequent uploads is perfect for watching on days where I'm busy and don't feel like I have an hour to sit down and watch a longer-form video. Also, happy birthday!
Same, but then again, when the videos are over, I'm wishing we could have spent a little more time with Jenna and Nick...
I hope they do some long ones at the end though. Like an hour long video about everything they went through.
Happy birthday Jenna.
Tin foil around openings for gas or water plumbing keeps mice out. Mice can chew thru insulation but not foil or steel wool.
Fyi on the bulk head that is/was above the upper kitchen cabinets is old school & a waste of space. I suggest u guys knock that out & put in taller upper cabinets, if its in the budget.
Love how well you guys work together! When we pulled off the 40 yr old carpet in our reno the stairs turned out to be 2 inch thick slabs of rough sawn red oak (felled and milled on the property 80 years before). I was so freakin' happy. I lightly sanded then stained them ebony. Getting the carpet out was the turning point for our reno, got rid of the smell, mold, and all the silverfish that had been slowly eating away at it. I'm sure getting the drywall down will do the same for you.
You need to make a photo album with all those old photos of the place from the other video and some of the clippings. That would be a great coffee-table book. What a terrific place. A huge amount of work, but it'll be such a great pay-off in the end.
i can't even imagine how beautiful this house is going to be once all the demo and reno is finished. i'm so glad i found this series a few weeks ago, i've never looked forward to another video more
Jenna, I usually never comment on CZcams videos but I really wanted you to know that I got so happy watching this video. the way you and Nick are to each other and the way he is towards you seems so healthy and full of love. And you really seem like a person to deserve that kind of love.
Do not feel bad about letting go of some of the cool things. That oven is amazing but it is extra work. Both pianos same. They’re great but the space is worth removing them if you’re not a piano person. Moving forward with the renovation! So excited to see more.
It would be fun to see one cabinet or cubby get the pacific blue color as a nod to the old cabinets.
the pianos are worth alot, advertise, maybe they can help pay for some of the reno!
@@danastavney5687they're infested with mold and wet rot. that's really unethical.
Initially I was so sad you guys decided to tear the kitchen down because it is so beautiful, but after seeing the water damage behind and in the cupboards, I get it
I cannot deal with how cute this is. I am basically only here now for Jenna's abandoned home.
I totally understand why you took it down but i kind of was rooting for the orange tile in the kitchen ahhaha but i know you'll bring back some color for sure! I'm excited to see your progress 😊
I can't watch the video until I tell you both how cute you are with the matching overalls! 😍
It sucks the kitchen had to be stripped but it looks like there was definitely some mold and like you mentioned everything has to be stripped to the studs so you can replace everything that’s rotted. Also probably smart to replace the wiring and maybe plumbing while the walls are out. I’m excited to see where you two bring this place once it’s not soaking wet and falling down.
Love the man-bun. I would have to save fragments for a memory box, like the orange half walls in the kitchen. Love the turquoise shelves.
Those turquoise cupboard interiors were to die for! What better birthday present could there be than a new overall?!
Someone might have mentioned it already, but it could be that the open hole to the lower level at the bottom of that cabinet could have been intended for (or previously used for) a dumbwaiter.
Also... if y'all smelled burning wires, it's most likely because the wires connected to something you tore out of the kitchen got twisted up and created a short. Look in every hole where something electrical was connected and make sure none of the bare conductors are touching each other. Don't forget the wiring for the vent hood over the stove that came crashing down.
I’m loving this renovation! Although I was kinda obsessed with the orange tiles in the kitchen. I’m a sucker for 70s decor
Watching these videos really helps us feel much better about our home renovation journey, mostly because we can live in it and have slightly less sketchy wiring.
Yea Jenna the stand pipe is what’s holding that toilet up. I’m loving this whole process and you and Nick are so adorable!
I absolutely love the design of this house. The blue shelving, and orange kitchen are bold, but still tasteful. What a vibe😊
You guys are so fun and supportive of one another. What a fun project to get to tackle together. The house certainly lived a beautiful life in its day and hopefully will again soon.
I love how well you both work together and the matching outfits are fabulous!
Happy birthday Jenna, I live in an old house and there's a random floor tunnel cabinet too, it's a laundry chute, that might be what you've got going on. I still use mine lol.
I used to have one too, but we got rid of it when we demolished the closet in between our kitchen and entranceway. Then we had a party and a young man told us he used to come to our house as a kid and used to climb up it, which was cute. I would have done the same thing as a kid.
Aside from vicariously living through this reno, you two are THE CUTEST! Matching overalls 😩.
I would watch an hour of this! Seeing you demolish stuff and clean up is just calming. Cheering you on!
Happy Birthday Jenna. I'm really enjoying this project. You're learning new skills. Demo is fun. You did a fantastic job, but a sledge hammer would make smashing things easier.
Also glad you didn't burn the house down. 👍 Take Care
LONGER VIDEOS! I am living for this series!
Absolutely loving this abandoned home reno content but is anyone else missing the doggos? 😭 I would kill for some B-roll of Jack and Benson in these videos just to see how their doing 🥺
You need a nicely weighted sledgehammer (lady-sized) because those little hammers you're using in the kitchen are such a kid's toy. Also need a heavy-duty garden trolley for taking stuff out of the house which you'll always need in the garden and around the house for moving smaller items, sort of like a suped-up little red wagon
Happy birthday Jenna!!! I am so excited for you and Nick. I look forward to every Wednesday so I can watch your videos.
We had a Norge washer and dryer set when I was growing up. They were dark brown with aqua interiors and they literally lasted for over 30 years!
I love how you go from thrifter, sewer, Crochet, knitting to flipper/renovater it's awesome
Maybe the hole to the hallway was once a dumb-waiter from the kitchen?
Omg please try to save the orange tiles!!
Can you tell us more about Nick? He seems like he knows what he is doing.
Were those tiles?! I thought it was plastic 😭
Kudos to the "Brady Bunch" theme music! That was the type of music they'd play when the boys broke Carol's vase and realized, "Mom always said, "Don't play ball in the house!"
You're doing a great job... we're enjoying watching the process and look forward to seeing how it all turns out (eventually...) 😉👍
The oven and tile were beautiful, I suppose there’s no way of saving them? I wonder if the hole was a laundry shoot? I love these videos, thank you for sharing the process and happy birthday!
too bad - I loved that orange bar....so 70's....can speak from experience re: the aluminum wire, we had one part of it left that went under the staircase when I was younger and one night the entire staircase was on fire and guess who was upstairs at the time? yup....this is a fun watch guys...love it!
Jenna, I am so proud of you and you are doing a great job. Do not give up because it will be worth it in the long run. I promise you.
Happy 28th Birthday 🎂 I've been loving your reno journey. It's satisfying and exciting to see you redo this house. Nick is very calm and patient, the perfect partner to do this with. Add my vote to the poll who want to watch longer videos. Just for reference, I watch most videos on 1.5x speed bc I like to watch but get through them fast...opposite of yours where I don't do that and when your vid is over I'm sad.
Looks like you found yourself a Dumbwaiter shaft at 11:10. Very Cool. No more carrying refreshments downstairs. It’s a win!
Holy cow that view off the roof at 4:55 is incredible!
Seriously the view and the surrounding land look AMAZING
Happy birthday Jenna...people take everything out and dont save things they could use later on...like the washer and dryer...the stove and fridge. later on when everythings so costly. u may wish u had them. the house we bought had the washer /dryer in them and stove and fridge. they are old but work good. hugs and what a fun birthday!! u guys rock.
also so much good wood for above ground garden beds!
Using, new, energy efficient appliances will actually save them money in the long run.
@@saroneaimah8854that washer and dryer pair was plenty efficient. New ones will never offset their efficiency and environmental costs
@@aayotechnologythats acculy not true.
I’m loving this consistent house content LOVE IT. Keep it up this is so fun to see. And feels like you’re getting a lot done quickly!
That kitchen was insane! The funky design with orange walls and turquoise cabinets. 😂
Soooo devastated that you removed that gorgeous orange tile wall!! 😭 It would have been so nice to preserve that. But hey, I guess you guys know what you’re doing.
And best bit? Those colour pallets and interior design are being promoted as next go to trend in interior design. 😮
Yes, me too!
Obvs people can do what they like with their property, but it is heartbreaking to watch sometimes.
@@stephanie1044 my guess is they’re going to gut those bathrooms too. Ugh.
Nooooo….not the orange walls!! Carol Brady would be rolling in her grave….and Alice too! When u get this house done it’s going to be amazing!
House I grew up in had that orange for our counter tops. Really glad it wasn’t on the walls.
I just put orange tiled walls in my kitchen!
Ok so it wasn’t just me feeling the Brady vibes in this
Hour episodes please 😊
I just love watching you both, remodeling this old house.
Oh WOW!! I want that turquoise toilet, sink, and tub!!! I love vintage things. I know, you aren't going to keep them. But just sayin' "I sure like them!"
I really hope that they keep them and reinstall all of the colorful toilets, sinks, and tubs.
And I certainly hope they don’t end up in a dumpster, like the MCM furniture did. 😢
@@donnerpartyofone2723 Then why bother buying a house like this? That's the point is that it's old and that interior is going to be very fashionable in a few years. It's trending in that direction.
@@jamieostrowski4447 everything that’s unique about that house is what makes it so magical. They could work around those design elements and preserve them. mold is not the bubonic plague. It’s pretty sad.
@@ChrisRubeo Yeah I started out being really enthusiastic about this project but I see them throwing so much out I'm starting to lose the faith...maybe I'll be wrong, though. We'll see, I hope so! You just don't run into these kinds of opportunities very often.
The overalls matching is adorable! I saw a couple in their twenties at the shops the other day and they had matching crocs and gibbits, I dont know why but i just thought it was so cute! Matching couples are so sweet.
Omg that Brady House!!!! Those colors!
I love your personalities ❤ so wholesome and real
Hey, Jenna! I know you guys think you need to strip the inside of the house before doing the roof, but that is backwards. Fix your leaking roof so nothing inside gets any worse from water dammage before you get to it.
I think they're more concerned with the structure supporting the roof, before they go working on the roof. With all of the water ingress, there's probably some actual structure that's no longer safe, especially if they're going to be adding more weight with workers and materials onto the roof
They want to expose the entire structure from below so they can see everything first. Then during the roof work they can replace any rotten structure. Once it’s roof tight they may even strip the walls to the studs? Dunno. Makes any new mechanical / electrical / plumbing easier. Then insulation and drywall. Yes water is still getting in in the meantime but removing the ceiling drywall won’t make that worse. And the house presumably been leaking like a sieve for YEARS so another few months won’t have much impact.
Oh that was a large rodent
“Its coming down with or without our help to be honest” lmaaaao
I love how authentic yall are
Hi team. I’m going to unsubscribe because I’m getting so upset at your personal approach to ‘renovating’ your beautiful period home. I’m sure it will be beautiful and you will be very happy with your final result. Best of luck.
I can watch you and Nick fixing the house three hours each time, can you do a longer video next week please?
Love watching this series, having grown up not far from you! Echoing everyone else here: Keep all the hardware off the doors! Perfect accents to use later on the build!
Good for you for having the confidence to take this project on at your age! It’s a journey, try not to get discouraged along the way because it will be worth it. That house is a diamond in the rough and you feel it breath in new life as you go along. Good luck n kudos to you!
Would love to see pictures of this amazing house in its glory years! Obviously this was a loving family who love music, dogs. Do you have anything like that? Love that you are bringing this house back!
In the previous video she found some colour photos of people and dogs inside and outside the house, and I think in the first one she showed some black and white photos. It'll be nice to see them turn this house into a home again!
Its so sad everytime you throw out something, but it is so obvious once you dismantle them that they are unsalvagable
these are the kinds of channels and projects I love. Keep them coming
Next week will be magical
Happy birthday Jenna! We love you and are so excited for this new chapter in your life! 🏡 also your bf seems like a keeper
Eagerly waiting for the next video. If I found this series after it was done, I would binge watch all the videos.
Im absolutely obsessed with this series
I love the teal inside the cabinets.
Happy Birthday Jenna! You know how it's really impressive when people do things that you are clueless about? That's how feel watching these videos, it's just so incredible to me that you guys are doing all this. Such a shame that the house got into such disrepair, there are some (formerly) beautiful things going into the dumpster. I can't wait to see it finished.
I loved that old orange vertical tile on the dividing wall!
🌸Happy Birthday Jenna💐
I’m just loving watching the renovations. Nick is very knowledgeable. You both work so well together, the dream team in house demolition! ❤
