Have fun
Where in Florida is this?? Lol 😂
You have obviously Lost You're Mind. Pitty. Figure on 10k to 50k , for each project. 100+ for some that you've outlined. Been there ,done that!! It'll never be worth what you put into it, You will never have any Time, endless repairs.. Sorry, to say.. I can't even say good luck. Old copper pipes , in Florida. Built in the 60s-70s. All thin wall copper.
One solid ad from start to finish
I cant believe that your not afraid of the gators.
The teenager in me thinks this house is awesome. The adult in me just see the headaches of maintenance, the cost and even the time to enjoy it, but if you can afford it and enjoy it, nothing to complain about. Congratulations!
Yea all I see in this hous is - renovation, more renovation, maintenance, more maintenance and huge energy bills... :D
Yup. I can barely keep up with my small house, car projects and a full time job. Maybe if I removed the full time job I’d have time for something like this 😅
That's why I have a small house.
You nailed this. My adult self said God lord they saw this sucker coming from a mile away, but my other adult side said he is using it as a business expense and will write it all off as content for his channel.
The only thing I really like is the pool and outside kitchen with a hot tub.
The lake is pointless because most people I know that have water front property, they never use it.
The house is way to big for my likes due to maintenance,cleaning,energy bill consumption. My aunt owned a mansion and I only used the kitchen,one bedroom,garage,one bathroom. So right then and there I knew I didn't need a mansion in my life.
The yard is questionable. I like having land, but I would rather have it as open land to put a shop on or a garden vs walk ways for a nature walk.
He has enough material here to make videos for a lifetime! He should get the Lock Picking Lawyer to open the safe. Then get the guy from Decks, Docks and Gazebos to renovate the dock and Paul LaFrance and the crew from Decked Out for the decks and other outside building, Jenn Nawada can clean up the plants while the rest of the crew from This Old House is working on the house inside. This can go on forever!
Lockpicking Lawyer have to see this!
He should bring in @HowToSandAFloor in to redo the hard wood floors, even though he's from outside of the US. Would be totally worth it too.
exactly what i was thinking too, that would be nuts!
Linus from LTT to build networking and cameras.
“That would be an X kid” 😂😂😂
I think the AC system would be a fun project to work out. Surely you don't need 6 units for the entire house - plus, you don't need to replace what's working fine. For the leaking water one, your drain is blocked and it's pretty easy to deal with. They're simpler than they look!
Congrats on the new place.
I had a salt water pool for years. A few thoughts:
- The pool equipment does not need to be covered, it is designed to be outside and in the elements
- The spa may not have a leak. It is probably part of the pool…. Since the spa is higher than the pool it will likely drain back into the pool if the valves that control water flow may not have good seals.
- I would defiantly shop around for pool people to get the pool back up and running.
Good luck!
I know most folks come to your channel for car content, but I'm looking forward to watching this unfold. Put the gym in the 2nd house near the sauna, use that shed for lawn and maybe pool stuff. Paint the green in the kitchen white and send the cabinet doors out to be refinished white and paint the frames yourself with the same color. Have fun. Take your time. Invest in tools as you work on things.
Eh, the kitchen is least offensive thing he showed. I'd do a new countertop and restain the cabinets rather than repaint them white and make the place look like every other crappy HGTV flip.
Personally i think it looks still very nice. Id focus on the things that are in bad shape first and then think bout adding a fresh layer of different paint in parts of the house like kitchen.
No tool should be used that you're not being sponsored by.
personally painting the cabinets is good cause they don't look really old but that countertop looks like those wood/mdf type ones plus kind of ugly. Honestly everything about the those really just needs a touch up or small bits replaced it does add up though.
@@bigelvisthechefrosenberg5494 good call. Get yourself a stack of free tools Tavarish if you're going to be using them in front of millions of viewers
Tavarish really comes in with a whole mansion, congrats dude!
Great job my friend 👍
The house has Free Alligator's Yaa
Sooo goood! Better than any of the cars.
This will be SOOO much work like a full time job for a year. He’s got his work cut out for him. I would NEVER do this.
@@bigpotato7804 He's got a couple million of us supporting him. We'll watch the work. It is nuts though.
I'm getting overwhelmed just watching this. I hope everything works out for you, Freddy and nothing but success comes your way.
dont know if someone answered yet, but the tree with the bricks - the bricks were probably put there so long ago that the tree started to grow around them. you got a pretty sweet house, would love to hear more history on it, owners and what the house has been through. Im glad you got it as we can experience it with you and know that you will take good care of it
@edbolian we need addresswiki so we can see the story of houses like this.
That isn't just a home, it is damn near a resort! Very nice with tons of potential which will keep you busy with creating content for years to come.
Looks like a giant BBC size head ache
@Dave, I read that as cleaning for years to come 🤣
Greetings from Finland, the home of the sauna. For the stove, I would definitely change the stones. IF you do not know when those have been changed the last time. At least in Finland sauna stones do not cost much, but those make a huge difference on the experience. Old well used stones have lost their thermal properties and might have started to break down. or release all stored heat too quickly, resulting in harsh "löyly"/the steam coming out from the stove when throwing water on the heated stones. Also when you have removed the stones, clean/rinse the stove from any dust, broken bits from the stones, before laying the new stones.
Otherwise a Finnish style sauna (that you seem to have) is very easy to maintain. Just check if the wooden benches are ok, not moldy or anything underneath. If ok, then just enjoy using the sauna and remember to let it dry out properly after each sauna event. Good ventilation keeps sauna healthy.
That sauna must be swedish as the bench is that low from the ground.
@@TimoLahti as a swede, this might be a child size sauna. I have only ever been in saunas where the benches go up close to the ceiling
Never been in a swedish sauna, where it actually is hot enough. Hotel saunas in Sweden have been more of warm rooms than saunas. One in a cabin in shouth Sweden was ok, after I changed the temperature settings and threw enough water on the stove
Hotel sauna in Copenhagen didn't have stones. Didn't dare to throw water...
He needs to have a bath room connected to the sauna
Would love to see a update video on progress you've made on the house.
I have learned to controlled the mosquito population around my home. My neighbour built me a couple of bat houses a couple years ago. Bats eat their weight in mosquitoes every evening so I am very satisfied with my bat houses. You need to know the specifics that bats prefer in a home so look it up, or ask someone who knows. They are harmless to man and are super cool to watch.
As someone who recently bought their first house thinking it was 100% move in ready....and immediately realized how many projects I wanted/needed to do, this house looks like a massive undertaking but honestly please show us as much as possible. I would love to see everything you do to this place.
I bought a house this year thinking the same... I have more projects in mind than money on my wallet
It’s crazy to see a guy I followed 4 years ago go from what looked like doing work in his garage to this huge come up with the mansion. Congratulations dude!
It's fucking awesome
Freddy should call it.......Tavar-A-Lago 🤣
He had cash when he started. Sure this isnt his first home after renting a bachelors in a basement. Nice place. Would love to see the numbers. Ohh and plumbers, carpenters and drywallers are not your base of friends. Good luck.
@@carlosoruna7174 You seem to know nothing of product placement when it comes to tradesmen,..Cleetus knows a thing or two about that,..
He put in his work and deserves it. I watch it all go down too! All the way from Jalopnik.
Congratulations on all your success, it’s so great to watch you and your channel grow over the years. Big project but we know you will crush it!
Lived my entire life in Florida....never ever thought I'd see a basement in home. He's gotta be in north central Florida for this to even be remotely possible.
If you have a lake front property, you will never get completely rid of insects/misquitos. Welcome to the swamp. Invest in a bug zapper and bug repellent candles and some Benadryl for your skin.
And I'm not sure this even had a typical prebuying inspection. Gotta be a "as is" sale. I would also think the insurance company gonna want to see alot of this stuff fixed before insuring. 😂
You should get the lockpicking lawyer to open your safe. Could be a cool collab lol
Lock picking and safe cracking are two very different things. Drilling into a pane of glass isn't something lock pickers usually have to worry about.
@@NoMoreBsPleaseyou take all the fun out of life you know that? But im sure thats not the first time youve heard that.
Get Geraldo Rivera to open it.
@@NoMoreBsPleaseLPL has done a handfull of episodes on safe cracking as well.
@@filegumboI wonder how many people got that reference 😂 That stupid special was an hour of my life I'll never get back! Though making fun of him does help a bit..
The steel telecom thing in your backyard is a HAM radio antenna- probably has a huge deep concrete base to anchor it in place. The little room next to your editing station with the custom shelves was the "HAM shack" that held all the guy's radios and gear that people collect over the years.
Combine the radio and bomb shelter... and you're good to go in the next apocalypse ....
@@davidwilliams3643 The place was originally built in the sixties, and the Cuban missile crisis probably had a bit of an impact on builders back then, so the shelter kind of makes sense.
With the lake and the land, he could set himself up nicely. Beautiful spot!
Keep it and install a Tempest weather station which you can use in some smart home applications
Exactly! If he doesn't want to take up the hobby, contact a local club and I'm sure they would take it down. Those towers are worth a lot!
@@prestontiegs5022 - I'd mount a HDTV antenna on it and get free TV.
After nearly dying from malaria working in Africa I have a hatred of mosquitos. You cannot beat them. Citronella candles work well. They are also attracted to stagnant water. The mosquito spray is also effective. Short term enclosed areas use netting and electrocute or blow torch the bstrds. Electrocution tennis rackets are quite good fun. Good luck with the project. We are building our dream home, it has a creek. Mossies love water.
This is awesome, love the fact that he has the balls to be a regular guy and show us his house that needs work rather then some stupid rented palace to make us envy the "good life"
Um literally a mansion with a huge pool he's no regular guy anymore
Lmao Tavarash has 6000 sq ft of house and he wants to have a gym in the back of the property? Nobody is ever going out there to do anything except possibly bury someone. Not saying it’s a perfect axe murderers shed…but
No chance I would Ever swim in that lake. Nope, not happening not once, not ever!
Freddy, congrats on the next step! A few suggestions:
1) If you are going to convert the 'shed' into a gym you may want to consider a mini-split for heating and cooling.
2) A septic tank company can pump out your bomb shelter if they can get close enough. If you decide to use the space look into sealing the walls and installing a drainage system around the entrance.
3) The hardwood floors are beautiful. If you have areas that need help they can be sanded and color matched.
4) Given the size of the property a good monitored security system with multiple cameras will provide some peace of mind for your family.
5) May want to consider an intercom system or everyone can have their cell phones with them. :^)
Intercoms are pretty much a thing of the past now, they've mostly been replaced by tossing an Echo or Google Nest Mini in the rooms you want to talk between. 'Alexa, drop in on basement' and you tell the kids dinner is ready. :) They're dirt cheap and easy to set up and add to.
if you get the bomb shelter pumped out, you may find it has a sump with a pump in it that has failed. They're usually made to handle quite a bit of water ingress so they can be used as a storm shelter without killing the occupants.
@@JohnCarter-vo8ux Cloud assistants are becoming a thing of the past too..well, not really. But i'd opt for a local home assistant, and i'd prefer an intercom system using the local network. It's not so much 'muh privacy!' which is important, but more so just how silly the notion of having a command to shut off a light in the same room as you are, go through your wireless access point, through your router (or both), through the internet, to a cloud DC, back through the internet, through your gateway/AP and to your light switch..versus just having it happen without crossing your gateway.
Remember the goal isn’t to have a house, it’s to have a home. Fill it with your friends and chosen family. Share your success with those you love, and the less fortunate and you will find happiness and purpose. Good Luck to you Freddy, you earned it.
I have a sauna pretty similar to yours. I’m Finnish American and it’s a culture thing for us. Dm me if you have questions. Cedar is naturally anti microbial so they require little maintenance. Turn the stove on, wait 20 minutes for it to heat up, fill the bucket and cast some water onto the rocks. Make sure there is an air vent for fresh air circulation
I LOVE THIS HOUSE!!! I can see it being a lot of work but so rewarding as you complete each project! I can’t want to see the updates!
In regards to the bricks in the tree, It was a common way to cover up cuts and scars in trees in the 60s around when this house was built. It's not actually brick, but tar that's stuffed and petrified then carved. Really cool you got a tree with it!
I thought it might be an air outlet for the bunker.
@@jaynedavis4667 I think that's what the thing that looks like the top of a mostly buried gazebo is. Although it's Florida, so he might just have a mostly buried gazebo. :)
Every time you think something is a bad idea, it elevates this channel to the next level. We’re here to support you through this journey, keep us updated bro!
Congratulations on the new home. Looks great and I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Don't get rid of all the 70's styling as it is making a comeback!
I’d have bought the house for the summer kitchen alone! Such a cool feature.
Get rid of the mosquitos by cleaning/treating the pool and spray cedar oil around the perimeter of the yard.
The bricks in the tree are the remnants of old tree decay management. Cavities in trees used to be blocked up to try and stop decay advancing in the tree, but in fact the practice either does nothing or can make the decay worsen. It looks like the tree is relatively healthy (from the shots seen) as it has continued to grow around the edges of the cavity, and that's why the bricks are now stuck in there. It would be worth getting arboriculturalist to check the tree to see what condition it is is and if there is any likelihood of it failing in the future.
Agreed.
Having done 139 ground up remodels and averaging 4-5 home flips per year with extensive remodeling, you did well.
This house is far from being in trouble, it's just dated. $250-300k and this house will be drop dead gorgeous. Obviously, you can go cheaper and do more basic work or much more extravagant, but I would eye in 250-300k.
You're probably pretty spot on if he does about 70% of the work himself. Coming from about 30 renovations a year and now building about 50 houses a year.
Yes rebuild asap while the prices for everything is still high....dont worry i doubt labor and materials will be lower in a couple years
Double that. I bet he comes in at 500 to 600K
@@elmundo1871 yes, i was basing my number on him running the job and subing it out himself. He does that on his channel, so I made an assumption... If he hires a general contractor to do this, it will run over my estimate substantially.
As someone else said, You should double that estimate. For one thing it's his first time doing house stuff, if for another thing he's going to do some tavarish weirdness stuff.
Ngl watching this video made me feel better, I did the same purchase, and went from learning all about cars to learning all about how everything in a house works whether be plumbing, electricity, landscaping, drywall, painting, etc. Just take your time and don't get overwhelmed it'll be worth it once you start seeing your dream house transforming exactly how you want it.
Knowing you and the effort you put into building cars this house is going to be awesome when you're done with it congrats man
This house has sooooo much potential. The backyard could easily be turned into having a complete vacation vibe. Excited to see what you do with this house. Should totally make a bonsai shed and get your mr.Miyagi going.
Who else saw something crawl from the door of the shed at 16:11?? GREAT HOUSE Tavarish!! Congratulations and I can't wait to see the videos from this life upgrade!!
It's just hoovie
i think it was a lil lizard
It's a lizard lol
florida lizards man they are everywhere lmaoooo
my first instinct, as an Australian, was to rewind the footage and go 'is that a spider?'
No time for boredom it's great to work and be occupied it will be a magnificent home when finished
I wish you all the best, Tavarish. I enjoy your videos immensely. I also look forward to what you have in store for the channel.
Tavarish: "If anyone knows how to get rid of mosquitoes, please let me know"
Also Tavarish: "Come check out the broken hot tub with a bunch of standing swamp water"

😁😁
In Florida…standing water = mosquitoes
@@belladonna_redefinedanywhere in the world :
Standing water = mosquitoes
@@abubakrwilliams I can only speak for my surroundings (Florida)Thanks for the info.
This house has so many different quirks and features you should get Doug to review it.
THISSSS is a house
no, please no. He's the worst.
Super recommend that you put in a boat lift when you redo the dock. They're expensive, but they make owning jetskis, rowboats, speedboats, or whatever way more rewarding when you have a spot you can work on them at and launch them from.
Lavender works well against mosquitos and it's easy to take care of. It also goes well with sandy soil.
Freddy, if you were anybody but yourself, im sure a lot of us wouldnt be watching. Keep doing you. You deserve all of the great fortune you receive.
The whole time im just hoping and saying to myself “ I wish he gets sponsored by landscaping/construction companies” so we can see the transformation happen faster while we still get quality car related videos at the same time. Eitherway, congrats Freddy! I still remember an old video of yours when you were repairing a car in your parent’s driveway, and seeing how far you made it makes me really happy for you!
there are plants you can keep that help keep mosquitos away, you can't totally get rid of them, but if you line your pool with these specific plants. it helps keep them down. Citronella
Lavender
Lemon Balm
Marigold
Basil
Pennyroyal
Peppermint
Scented Geraniums
Rosemary
Lemongrass
Monarda
Ageratum
Me, a Finnish person hearing Tavarish call sauna "a swedish sauna" 😢
The sauna itself seems quite alright, something one would find in most Finnish homes.
Mine is roughly the same size as yours, also heated with electricity.
There's also a larger wood burning one at my family lakeside cottage, which has good ventilation so
a comfortable temperature is somewhere between 80-100 degrees celsius, or 175 to 210 freedom heat units.
Larger sauna with a wood burning stove and proper ventilation gives "softer" steam whereas
small electric saunas often have less ideal ventilation and the heat feels harsher.
200 freedom heat units would be a bit excessive for electric sauna yes. That's about 95 degrees celsius.
For an electric sauna of that size, maybe 70-80 celsius would be ideal, that's 155 to 175 freedom heat units.
I highly recommend trying it out, but also might be a good idea to replace the stones beforehand, the most
common type at least out here is diabase stone, more specifically olivine diabase.
Very good for heart health, circulation, muscle recovery, mild pain, skin issues and especially since you have
a lake and a pool quite nearby, it's a very nice feeling to cool down and warm up.
Might take a short while to get used to, but once you do, it's highly relaxing and beneficial experience.
The upkeep is quite simple actually, replace the stones maybe once every 100th use or perhaps
once a year.
Brush the wooden surfaces thoroughly with diluted natural pine soap and rinse off with water, a few times a year maybe
depending on the amount of use, give it some time to dry out after each use and i'd recommend using some
flax linen sauna bench covers underneath the sweaty ass to make it a bit more hygienic.
Oh and ABSOLUTELY take a quick shower before sauna, always, no exceptions!
And perhaps give the wood surfaces some treatment with paraffin oil to keep the wood in good condition, if necessary.
Enjoy the FINNISH sauna. ☺
To keep the mosquitoes at bay definitely fix the pool asap so the water is circulating and they can’t lay eggs in it. Also I would put down some mulch or pine needles in the beds to keep any water from pooling. There are also companies that come out and treat your yard with chemicals to help draw them out in general.
Not gonna help.
Here in Pennsylvania ppl with big land have bat houses around the property and they eat all the mosquitoes and also the citronella plants
@@jasoncepeda1948 Im pretty sure thats how Disney solves the mosquito problems at Disney World as well
Also cleanup the yard brush and leaves on the ground and cut back the bushes .. standing water if not your friend,.
Bats are your friend.
Lavender plants are also great against mosquitoes and flies
Freddy, those look like Cypress floors. If you take them out, besides the fact that you'd be crazy to do it, people will pay big money for them. So don't let anyone "rip" them out. Remove them carefully so they can be sold and you'll make a significant deposit towards new floors. Or, refinish them and enjoy them. Wood floors create a warmer and more welcoming environment than tile or stone does.
FYI, you can stack your washer & dryer. You'll lose out on one of the drawers, but meh.
Yaaaaaaah go Tavarish!
I still remember you wrenching on your projects in your driveway on the forum,, so proud to see how you have made your way in life!
For the mosquitos, you could get a misting system around the perimeter of your house. I’m from south Texas so I know how it goes. My parents did this with their backyard and what a complete game changer it was. Despite the creek that was behind the house, I never once saw another mosquito when they installed the misting system.
I'm sure the lockpickinglawyer could open the safe in 2 minutes, then do it again just to prove it was not a fluke. House looks really nice! the back yard looks sick, damn. big gz on the house, can't wait to see how it turns out.
+1 for LcokPickingLawyer
Tavarish..not a big car guy or home guy, but i sure enjoy your videos. You are an awesome human being. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
your ideas of a "very, very old house" are vastly different to mine, my house is almost 150 years old now, time is not a healer when it comes to buildings! :D
That tower is a vhf/uhf antenna. Get hold of your local amateur radio chapter before tearing it down. They will likely either relocate it or pay you to maintain it for emergency radio broadcasting.
Nice trails. I've been working on mine, but haven't built a bridge over my creek yet. It's too deep and steep to drive an SxS through, so I gotta build either a bridge or culvert.
Congrats Freddie. We all know that one thing you're really good at is restoring old broken stuff. Excited to see what you will do .
After watching this entire video. Freddy you might be best off by calling Ty Pennington (Trading Spaces/Extreme Home Makeover) he lives here in Florida. He would be amazing to do a renovation series with...even if its just for certain episodes.
Pool is super easy to fix, I used to take care of a commercial pool here in town as well as my own. If you want I can tell you are give you a list of chemicals you will need. Saline pools are super easy to care for but when they get full of algae it takes someone that knows how to fix them, basically you have more fresh water from the rain than you have the proper balance.
The safe is easy to open, I have opened safes that had cyanide capsules in them and would break if you tried to drill or force them open.
Having watched you, Hoovie, Cleetus, Offtheranch, HeavyD and a bunch of others since they first started it's very cool to see the progression over the years, amazing to watch in real time. Congrats on the new house, it's going to be amazing!
The fact that you quickly received more views in one day for this video than for Car Trek means that you need to continue to show what you do at home. It can help many. Ideas in the field of construction often come just by looking.
Have enjoyed you and your productions. I heard what your year has been like, stay strong my friend!
My God. 😵😵😵 What an absolutely amazing canvas to start with!! Especially with SO much possibility of content collaboration. Actually, just the rebuilding content attraction to see how well the quality is executed with this sort of extraordinary layout. 5 acre waterfront with easy provision of building a true car enthusiasts home facility, a poolside guesthouse AND a separate raised pool kitchen with a hot tub extension above the pool, and an extended dock run with a full sized out-deck. Imagine what that out-deck could look like with a stylized cover and fully lit. Or even run a gas line out to a simulated fire pit. I would go friggin nuts on that place, lol. From what I could see just from this video, it looks to be quite solid and simply needs a good solid extensive makeover. What a great adventure this could be. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Incredibly happy that I was able to assist you in the process of buying your dream home as your realtor, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what it turns out to be!
I also helped Freddie buy his new house. Why would anyone think he would buy a new house that didn't nee rebuilding?
I click on his videos which help him pay for his house.
Hammer every day!!!!
@Craig Permenter I'm his realtor lol. The home has great homes and with Freddy's touch, it'll be even more amazing

Been following you since you were working on cars in your garage, Glad to see you succeed.
Wish he would of continued this series
Aside from the channel's content, your personality really shines through. It is refreshing to see. I congratulate you on the purchase of your beautiful home and your channel's success! Lord bless!
Congratulations on the new home and seriously looking forward to the new content. A few notes: 1. A pressure washer is your best friend right now. 2. Solar installation asap (the sooner you begin producing your own electricity and net-metering excess power to the grid, the lower your bills and the greater your system equity.) 3. If you're ripping out old central air systems and creating a single functional system, seriously look into a geothermal heat exchange system to passively cool and heat the house (it will save you an absolute fortune meaning more money in your pocket long run and reduce your energy requirements/carbon footprint.) 4. Assess the property's insulation. 5. Maybe keep the signal tower and see if you can get a deal hosting signal equipment/cell company infrastructure. That'll turn to revenue. 6. An electric water heater will save you a bunch on gas especially if you go solar. 7. If you're already planning on doing renovations and you're at the beginning of the process with a property, seriously look at the current floor plan and ask yourself if it presently makes sense or whether a rearrangement would bring benefits. 8. Take your time with furniture, functionality comes first with the space and it's always better to gradually furnish the space in a way that makes sense rather than racing to fill every area just for the sake of getting it done. Consider reaching out to Linus Tech Tips; he's been documenting his recent home retrofit as well. If his vids don't give you ideas, then certainly the insight he could share could save you a lot of time.
The most ambitious project is an understatement. This is a really cool home and when you get done will be pretty awesome. I used to buy homes and renovate them and can say this is a big project. I can say this will be ten times as much as your Mclaren build. This will be a fun watch for many episodes. Great luck.
Lavender helps against mosquitoes, plant it in a circle around water sources or near nests
16:10 that thingy crawling on the the wall and away... is way too funny🤣🤣
With a rectangle pool it’s easiest to get a retractable pool cover that can be walked on it will act as a way to keep debris out and is a good safety aspect for when small children are around, we always installed them on my customers pools !
In Canada outdoor pools all need them 😬
I came for the car content and stayed for you. You are such a natural in front of the camera and your personality is awesome. Congratulations on the house and good luck with the renovation. I look forward to watching this project progress.
So true. He had me cracking up this entire episode.
You are correct about your outside a/c units, at a minimum 2’ clear around each. Plus above, if all possible. Plan on cleaning the coils by washing and getting any and all sticks out of the inside. Check for Freon leaks. Clean the internal parts of the interior units and do a gas/ electric lighter check if you have central heating with your units. Check size(Tons of each unit), in south Texas on the coast where summers are 100 degrees with 90 to 100% Humidity everyday of the summer. Making sure you have ceiling fans in every room to help move your cool air around and hot air out. Filters get changed out per you directions (once a month up to 2 months.) All that I just said is what I have to do not that you have to but please check with your HAVC rep. In your area.
For the bomb shelter, you can just buy a sump pump from home depot. A nice 2hp unit will make some reasonably quick work of the water in there, and is always something helpful to have around the house.
Make sure that it is a trash pump so it will handle leaves and such.
I never comment on CZcams videos but damn this a guy you can say truly deserves it with everything he has done and who is as a person congrats man I was flabbergasted on that house every time you went somewhere else your really happy in the vid can’t wait to see what’s to come for every part of the journey 🎉😊😅
OK because of my genius vision here's a couple of things your deck should have concrete pillars and a concrete frame underneath to make a solid sub frame then deck over the top to complete the lovely softness you get from the wood I believe red cedar is popular in the states but looks hard to get. The shed should have a sofa big t.v games console pool table and then some gym equipment. Also some big as sky lights to get plenty of natural light.
To control your bugs you need lots of fans in your seating area. You need like 10 bird houses and bat boxes around the property, call the local bird club to suggest habitats.
Get a exotic pet chicken as well if he gets near you he will eat every bug that comes near you including roaches.
Really happy for you man. That’s a beautiful place 😍 in love with that backyard and dock. It takes a little time, but renovation and making a home your own is so rewarding and the best feeling I’ve ever had. After renting for years and years, I finally bought my first place 2.5 years ago, and have been steadily renovating room by room. That feeling when you finally finish out a room is incredible, just like finishing a project car haha Can’t wait to see what you do with the place man 🙌🏼
11:20 “there’s a slide that.. looks like its just made for insurance claims”
Got me wheezing 😂🤣
This is literally one of the most beautiful houses i've ever seen. Definitely deserved been a subscriber since the early days of the channel, you worked so hard to come to this and you deserved every bit of it
Good to see you Tavarish........ I hope life is good..........
WOULD LIKE TO SEE A APRIL 2023 UPDATE . WHAT DID YOU CHANGE... DID YOU TRY THE SAUNA?
Beautiful home. Can't wait to see it when you're done with it.
Edit - Send the safe to Lock Picking Lawyer.
Congratulations Freddie. It is a stunning property. Yes, it is dated in some areas. But it looks like the structure is really solid and it is quite beautiful.
The refresh will not take a lot. Some updating in the kitchen and bathrooms, new lighting and paint and you are golden. The pool area is fantastic. Five acres on a lake is fantastic. One day you can build your garage with the lifts and not have to pay rent and commute. This is a dream house.
Only just watching this now, after watching the sad video from a couple of months ago. I can't remember if he mentioned anything about the house, but it looks so cool! And I hope he gets to keep doing stuff with it, especially as it seems like he's mega excited about it all.
I grew up down the street from this house and a friend of mine lived here when we were in highschool. Always loved the way this house looked and its great that it's getting fixed up now.
I’m so excited to see Tavarish renovate this home… love how he’s trying to make new content
🧱🌳 The blocks in the tree may have been from back in the day when the tree may have been damaged so people put them in there to allow it to grow around them. My grandparent’s house has to trees with concrete in the holes haha. Congratulations on the house and excited to see its transformation!
hey tavarish I'm a little late to the party but if you haven't done interior painting a pro tip is instead of just painting everything all white walls you paint one wall a dark color it makes the space feel larger and gives it a nice look.
Plant lavender where ever you can, smells good and keeps the mosquitos away. At least here in europe.
LOVE this change! Please make a continuous series! I’m in Florida and this place is unique for sure, but hey…there’s nothing more exciting than seeing another side of wrenching. This speaks to all of us. Thank you!
MOSQUITOS: plant decorative "lemon grass" around the property. its a pretty looking tall grass that has a yellow tint. it does a decent job of repelling flies and mosquitos.
i know its a small contribution, just watching and liking the videos, but im glad that, in lump sum, it adds up to you being able to do this for your family. you put a lot of great content out there for us to enjoy, so you should be able to reap the benefits of that work. and so should your fam. its a really cool house, and i cant wait to see all the fun things getting done to it
Also , not sure if good for Florida weather, Basil, Lavender are great.
Nice! We are not too far from you and recently went the build route on our land. Congrats on the acquisition and we wish you the best. My friends at DRZA speak very highly of you.
Opening safes is quite easy. Depending on the manufacturer you can actually call and obtain the default combination if it has not been changed by the owner or installer. Amsec was a very popular brand of floor and wall safes and due to a factory fire all the combinations before a certain date of manufacture was lost. I have drill template's for most all safes.
As a fellow home owner in the woods, this house is super cool, going to be really fun watching you bring it back to life. The lake access is insane!
Water rats and other critters not so cool i spose 😏
@@nooboftheyear7170 it’s their territory and we are greedy intruders,just part of the experience
I'm extremely excited to see this content. This is like an endless pit of content that will keep giving no matter how much you throw at it. Even when you think you're done you'll still have 100 videos you can pull together. Daunting to think of yet fun at the same time.
Ah, the joys of home ownership. Got a fixer-upper of my own and piece by piece I am making it into what I want it to be.
Congratulations and good luck with the renos!
Wow! What a beautiful place! You should make the house net zero and geothermal for the AC system. You are so lucky to find this amazing place!
Congratulations on buying your dream house, you've come a long way and it great to see you hit a big milestone. When i saw you complete the McLaren 675lt i thought that was incredible you were able to fix a wrecked super car that was your dream super car and i hope you continue to grow your channel.
Edit: when are we gonna see the SCF the isf powered sc300 ????
I’m sure there is a good bit of your audience that is not excited about this because they only watch videos for cars, but I think this is fantastic! As if you’re in my 30s seeing home renovations is actually really intriguing. And I know once you get it to where you want it to be you’ll have a unparalleled level of satisfaction. And it will house (pun intended) tons of great content even once the house and garage are finished.
I think most of his audience is just glad to see a new project 😂
@@BourbonInhibitions we hope he finishes this project haha
I'm in real estate so I don't mind
Thank you for sharing your home, it's very beautiful. Congratulations.
Welcome to the neighborhood! Love your content! Can't wait for more videos!
