    My brother is a contractor I'm Pinellas county, FL. I can get an idea of what he does! Thank you for fixing that bath for them. That can lift the spirit to keep going, having a little area so nice.

    That bathroom was so bad! Good job even having the guts to start it. Thanks for the share!

      Thanks, for watching! I was legitimately worried that they might fall through the floor and when I saw that crushed and sunken corner I thought, "Oh no..."

    I've been helping out half a day a week with my local Habitat for Humanity crew that does repairs. I used to mostly help with new construction. New construction is a cakewalk compared to coming into a house like this! There's not just the mess of clearing out all the rotted wood and squirrel detritus, there's the stress of deciding...well, how far do I go? I can't fix the whole foundation, but there's also no point in trying to fix the room without addressing the structural issues in some way. Sounds like you did this whole job pro-bono. Bless you.

      Yes, it's sad to see what people are living with here in the states, but the cost to repair something like this can be astronomical due to the repairs needed "behind the scenes". Thank you for your comment and God bless you too for being willing to donate your time!

    That window looks like the disgusting windows in my house. I will forever regret not looking closer at them before buying the house.

    • @MyFortressConstruction

      Don't wait that long! Tackle one window at a time or find someone who you can pay $20 per hour to assist you in taking out each window and replacing it with a modern vinyl window. Even the cheap ones seal pretty well. Go with a higher grade for anywhere you want to open and close regularly (like a casement window). If you buy 15 windows or more you can get them for around $200 each (depending on the size). You can always hire out a large/triple window if you don't want to try and do that yourself. You should also be able to find a window installer that will replace each window for you for about $100-$200 per window (depending on complexity of siding and repair).

    Like that Milwaukee drill you used for mortar. Never seen one like that. Don't look for em either but looks like a nice drill.

    • @MyFortressConstruction
      @MyFortressConstruction  Před 3 lety

      Yeah, I use it for mixing up concrete/mortar in small batches. Makes it a quick job to mix up a few bags.

      @@MyFortressConstruction right. I had a trusty dewalt arm breaker for years. Same bit, but corded drill. I mixed concrete with mine but fuel is a beast.

      @@haafpv5254 Ha, I've still got my trusty corded dewalt. It's actually way more robust than the fuel, but no cord wins 9 out of 10. This is actually my second fuel drill. First one died after a month. This one is making a grinding noise, but it's still running. If it dies outside warranty I might buy the dewalt Flexvolt equivalent. Looks like the arm breaker you and I have, but has a bind up safety on it.

    why does a 100 year old house have pex in it?

    • @MyFortressConstruction
      @MyFortressConstruction  Před rokem

      I see a lot of old homes with a mixture of quest, PEX, copper and galvanized pipe. It just gets repaired with whatever the plumber at the time thought was best/fastest/cheapest.
