I love how that grand piano sits silently in the background like the heart of the house now being rebuilt around it.
Another reason to remove the drywall and insulation is that all the water damage, mold, rodent, and insect problems, you don't want to overlook something that will be an issue when you finish.
I’m thinking next week should be, removal of all the nails in the boards. The nails from holding the sheet rock and the insulation in. That will be a lot of fun! 😳
@@caroljohnson9262 Yeah, but once you get a rhythm going, it actually goes pretty quick.
Yep, and with the amount of mold and mouse/rat poop in the walls and ceilings, it would not be pleasant or healthy to live in.
Exactly. It's way better to check out what is going on behind all of that and not assume that everything is fine and end up paying for it later by having to demo everything they put in. Plus they can clean it all and make sure it's okay structurally. It's wild to me that people would remodel a house and not do those things, especially when it's in the shape they bought it in.
Oh glad you have a youtube channel.
Ok…I’ve realized that every couple should remodel a house before getting into a marriage. I think you realize a person’s temperament and work ethic. I’m sure everyone gets tired and cranky but Nick is such a hard worker and a perfect partner for you Jenna. You guys are so good together.
The time lapse music just makes this so true
Not being fortunate enough to be able to afford to renovate a home, I'll just stick with my method of purchasing and assembling flat pack furniture with my potential life mate.
Marry him before he gets away! He is total keeper.
@@chickadee- If he is a keeper, he won't try to get away ;-)
I was thinking the same
A note on overalls and the hammer slot, this is why i bought xs mens overalls instead of womens. 😅 And scoured for tiny mens work boots instead of buying womens. Most womens "work" clothes are 50% for show. 😅
That time I searched for work gloves in store and they didn't even sell them in my size 💀
Uggg I hate it when we have to get mens!
It's a pink tax. Tell us the brand we will shame them.
Jenna is trying to put the hammer on her left, Nick is placing through the loop on the right of his workwear. I think Jenna has a loop on the right too but hard to tell! Most people are right handed.
That is what I call women’s fashion victimization 😂
Also be mindful the debris in the air doesn't settle down as soon as you stop working, it hangs in the air some time.. So keep those respirators on
That’s great advice
I'd get HVAC fans in there
I'd for sure run HEPA filters in there for a while. That fiberglass is not good for the lungs lol
I noticed how in a lot of your videos you mention that how we can’t tell if you actually did anything, or how you think what you are doing is boring. I just wanna let you know that I don’t think that at all and I always see the effort you put into each video and in the house. So keep up the good work I’m excited to watch it progress further!!
your guys’ interactions are so funny and slightly awkward which makes it 10x better
“Do you think you should carry more than one?…I don’t know”. A cool way to interact
Stripping this structure back to the framing is the right thing to do. This allows for a forensic inspection of all structural members that may have been compromised by water infiltration. A complete electrical, plumbing and HVAC assessment will be needed. By having all of this exposed it will make facilitating those items much easier. Furthermore, the ability to have mold mitigation and pest mitigation just got easier. This includes fumigation and /or preventative pest control. Been there, done that. You're on the right track.
You are an amazing vlogger, Jenna. The angle changes, the editing, the music. It all flows so perfectly. It looks like you have a whole crew producing these videos when it’s a one-woman show. You are so multitalented. Thank you for taking us along on this journey.
The lighting in this house used the latest technology of the late 50s called GE Low Voltage Wiring System. The lights are powered by 120V AC but are controlled by a 24V low voltage system. At 7:00 you can see the thick black cable entering the metal box from the right providing the 120V power. On the left you see the Red/Black/White low voltage wires. Hanging just to the left of the light socket is the low voltage relay that controls the lights. The lights are 120V but instead of a switch to turn them on this system uses latching relays controlled by the low voltage wires. Low voltage wiring does not require the extra insulation which is why you see the Red/Black/White wires without the extra outer insulation required for the 120V wire. The switches on the walls were 24V not 120V. These switches were not standard toggle switches but were momentary push button ( or toggles that acted as push buttons). Pushing the on button would trigger the latching relay turning the power on at the light, pushing the off would turn the power off at the latching relay. With this system, they could have multiple switches control a single light, or single switch control sets of lights. A light could be controlled individually and as a set. Some systems had automation with timers, and other controls and some even had ability to control by telephone. Was very high tech for the day.
Wow
Yeah, I mentioned in another comment that the LV wiring looks like it was for an early home automation system, but I wasn't familiar with exactly what system it was. I'm sure in the day, it was really expensive, and very swanky! Today for home automation, I'd make sure all switch boxes have neutral in them, and maybe run some LV control cable as well, depending on what system you want to go with. I know lots of modern systems use RF, but nothing beats the reliability of hard wired controls!
@@gorak9000 I've seen these before in homes built in the 70's. Even homes built in the 80's did the "centralize all the three way switches" bit, so you could turn off all the lights from the center of the house. The difference here is the LV stuff has evolved greatly since, where as in the 50's they would have used relays and whatever wire was cheap to use at the time. Today you'd probably see the LV wires run with cat-5 ethernet type cable, and a "central" relay location. But you'd only see this in large commercial buildings now due to the savings in energy, since LV wiring is cheaper.
The catch is that since relays are involved with 120V lighting, eventually those relays burn out from the electrical arc'ing where as a conventional two way or three way switch could just be replaced in 30 years.
Nice to see I was not the only one that caught this detail. GE low voltage lighting systems are very cool. My high school had on for all of the lighting on the second floor and yes we also had the telephone control module. I hope they kept all of the hardware. The relays and switches can be hard to find.
“I only heard your disappointment”. Perhaps the most brilliant response I’ve ever heard. May I use that myself?
no
@@timhamilton8723 awww why not?
I dont remember the last time Ive been this invested in something until now, Im addicted to watching your progress
I do. Life Uncontained. Mac is about to birth their third little. It’s so exciting. Now, another little family starting. This is my first episode. Although, I did catch the flower dress first.
@@OldJoeBlows enjoy the ride haha
@@timat2233 I’m praying for a happily ever after for these two. For everyone actually.
Can’t wait to see this house transform into a home over the years!
Once the place is stripped get the roof fixed before doing anything else, then once its not raining inside make sure its safe from mold id say, after deciding on a layout and studding bring in an electrician and plumber. Some of that wiring is from the knob and tube era. While its all exposed is a great time to update it and get your plumbing roughed in :)after that you can start making it a home again :).
Lastly, a good tip while its all exposed and a great modernization for the house....run cat6a ethernet throughout with at least one jack in each room. This will help with getting internet all over your house, and you wont have to deal with weird wifi problems. Its trivial too to add access points to boost signal to weak areas and you can plug in devices like tvs, printers, computers, etc without a worry about connectivity
this is such great advice, ty!
In one of the videos, she said that they had to get it basically down to the studs before they could get the roof done. So, I think that's likely next!
Knob and tube wiring is too old for this house
@Tiffany_Waiting are you captain obvious???? 🙄
None of that wiring is knob and tube. And the wiring they said is "too small" is some kind of low voltage wiring for a very early "home automation" system (that originally would've been super swanky and expensive when it was new). All of the wires that are actually carrying loads are proper and up to code. They're just the standard cloth covered wire that was used before romex with plastic outer sheath was around. It has plastic insulators for the individual conductors under the cloth sheath that's basically the same that you get in romex today, and there isn't really anything wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with re-using any of it where nothing needs to be changed. My parent's house that was built in the late 70's that I grew up in has the same wire. It actually has a mix of plastic covered romex and cloth covered wire - it must've been right when they were transitioning to the plastic covered and they were still using up whatever cloth covered they had.
Please please pleaseee make a playlist like "music to rebuild your house to" where it's all the songs you used as background music! I think it would be a great way to document your house building journey by having compiled songs to look back on! :)
i agree. i love the music they’ve had in the background and i can’t find it!!!

Fix roof and address foundation issues (if any). A house is a sandwich that is really dependent on the robustness of the bread.
Hi Jenna, Maybe you can create the ceiling envelope on the exterior. James (Jim) Cutler AIA exposes the rafters and roof underlayment in his designs. He has done a lot of projects in the San Juan Islands near your home. Jim designed Xanadu for Bill gates on Lake Washington too. The clear fir and cedar are rare and beautiful so I think you should definitely consider looking at leaving the ceilings open. It will be nice when the demo is over and you can wear cute clothes. Haha❤
Why not Cat 7 instead?
Nick going: “yeah you tell ‘em!” When Jenna was talking about the overalls was so sweet 😭😭😭 I live for these weekly videos so much it’s so cool to see all the progress!
I think you need to have a “Nail Party” with your friends and family. Play NIN, make rusty nail cocktails afterwards, buy some snacks that can be skewered with pretzel rods to look like nails…watch nailed it…get your nails done after…
I’ll be here for more great ideas. Thanks for sharing your journey! So excited to see what’s up next ❤
You and Nick doing demo/home remodeling is definitely a good test for relationship longevity. Lol. So far, Nick is passing with flying colors. ❤❤
That is so true. Home renovations and putting up wallpaper is a total test to a relationship😄
And putting together furniture 😂 but this is definitely the biggest test
Except she always calls it “her house” instead of their home so she’s failing miserably.
@@Youdoneedmyname Well she did buy it so it's her house🤷♀️ I'm sure once all the renovations are done it's going to feel more like a home. Who knows if they are still together when it's done.
The "I make a mess and you clean it" comment was kinda sus tbh, but the rest I have seen from him has been green flags.
The music choice is so perfect
Right? I want to know all the details. I think I've loved every song choice in all their videos but I NEED NAMES lol
So twilight coded 🤭😍
I really enjoyed today's music as well. Good combo of songs.

@@ketaminepigeon your an angel Thankyou
also, this is probably the most organized demo i've ever seen 🤣
Leaf blower sounds like a horrible idea. Glad to see sweeping and get a glimpse of a shop vac.
I wish I could thumbs up this comment a million times more
Jenna you guys are doing great BUT, please have someone spray the bones of the house for mold and mildew before you rebuild. You guys are awesome! 💖
Is there something natural or not toxic that they could use, like isopropyl alcohol maybe
There’s nothing left to spray!
@@roscaines-prentice3888 Roscaines you haven't been disabled with chronic illness for 30 years like I have or you wouldn't make assumptions like that.
@@starklingspars8956 I was wondering about this as I’ll have to do the same soon, and from what I can see spraying with a vinegar and water solution is the best option. Theres also a spray I can’t remember the name of that you can put in a fogger. As it dries it crushes the mould. Apparently it’s made from natural stuff - but I can’t remember the name off hand - and I’d have to do more research. But I’ll probably go for that two pronged approach when I do this…
White vinegar will kill mold spores but until the house has a roof and is totally dry more mold can grow.
All the wood is in amazing condition, which is excellent news. I have to agree the electricity has got to go, 60 years ago the rules were different. The next step has to be the roof. Until you know the place is dry there is little you can do. But you knew that I am certain. The good news is aside from one beam the structure is sound. There is "ONE" job you could do before the roof has to come out: remove all the nails from the studs. Avery very boring job, but something you will probably have to do anyway (except for the walls that are being removed). Good luck
In one of the videos, she said that they had to get it basically down to the studs before they could get the roof done. So, I think that's likely next!
Yeah I came here in comments to say about all the nails :)
YES! Need ALL of the drywall nails and any just sticking up/out pulled.
Boring but necessary......
I mean this is probably the greatest test of a relationship, if you can remodel an entire home, putting together flat pack furniture will be a walk in the park lol
What an amazing job you’re both doing. Can’t wait to see it finished.
I just saw your short on the expense of your bins. The bin issue was one of my biggest expenses on the renovation of my 100+ yr. Old building. We saved, gave away and reused as much as possible. You are doing a great job, don’t pay attention to those who have no idea what they are talking about.
Jenna you and Nick are brave taking that insulation down from the ceiling. I myself would’ve been wearing a shower cap. I would be afraid of mouse poop, and bugs getting in my hair. 😂
They really should have been more covered :(
Jenna if you haven’t tried a push broom I highly recommend! Bigger surface swept and easier on your back! Looks great and stay safe!❤
Yes push broom AND dustpan on a stick.
@@dandotvid I always found a grain shovel works best as a "dustpan" for outdoor or construction stuff.
“Too far of a commute for Remy and Franceska…”😂 There’s always an upside. Well done, you two. 😊
I wish I knew how many steps you take in a day and how many trips you take on those stairs!! Please don't stop this series! It's great
I haven't asked yet, but every time I watch one of these videos, I do wonder why they aren't throwing all this stuff out a window to get it outside. It would save so many steps and so much time.
I was literally telling my husband that I think she does 20,000 steps easy
At least she doesn't have to work out.. :D This many steps keep you healthy.
Me not sure me want to know. When I moved last time app had a minium on 35k and smallest and 48k the worse and that was with a flue and fever😂
@@leeluvslifewould be worse try find everything you throw down and hope it not break to small skit that you can't get easy moved when clean it up. And dumpster not really able to be under a window
It’s so wild to me how much work they’ve done and still have to do. It’s impressive and this house is cool af
Your partner is gold. He has a positive attitude and seems really knowledgeable. Also, he’s good on camera! 😉
A lot of the wood in these walls look so much better than I expected, and I have a lot more hope for this house then I did at the start of all this. Great work!
Lovely to see Jack and Benson again
Wearing those white full body plastic overalls are pretty good at preventing the itching problem when removing insulation. Great vid
Most of it appeared to be rockwool which isn't nearly as bad as fiberglass. Rockwool still shouldn't be handled without gloves. Fiberglass on the other hand is LITERATELY millions of needle shaped glass fragments, and if you so much as graze yourself with it, you will be itchy for weeks, or months depending on how much of those fragments got tracked into your home, clothes washer, etc.
Fiberglass insulation is nice and cheap, but it's only one step down from asbestos in terms of how you handle it.
I agree. Like a hazmat suit.
Love how proud Nick was of your filled bin🥰 That's love baby ❤
It's actually crazy to see the difference from the first video
I am so impressed with you and Nick. You both are such hard workers. I am excited to see the house when it is done!!!
Wool is a really good insulator. it's bacterial repellent and water resistant. Also recyclable
And a repellent for mice.
@@petdrask ROCKWOOL ...
Sheep wool
Rockwool insulation, expensive but sound proofs as well as insulates and doesn’t burn.
NOW, you have a certified MOLD treatment company treat ever piece of wood remaining.
You've already spent far too much time in there without masks. Airborne mold is essentially invisible. If you don't treat it at this stage, you really haven't done anything yet.
When we were remodeling our house I went to the thrift store on senior discount day (yes, we are still doing that in our 70's, our eighth one) and bought a bunch of cute outfits on the 50% off rack. I wore cute clothes everyday and trashed them pretty good. Instead of washing anything too disgusting I threw them out. My husband had a good laugh seeing what I came out in everyday.
They should be wearing hazmat suits. Also washing clothes with tons of mold now means the mold is in the washer/dryer.
What a fun idea!
I love this series. I look forward to it every week. This work probably feels tedious and tiring, but for the viewer it’s relaxing, satisfying and motivating. Thank you for sharing this with us! All the best to the two of you and your families!
“I couldn’t see you. I only heard your disappointment.” You guys are adorable.
If you have more to go, what about piling the insulation a sheet or tarp, and Then throw it over your shoulder to take down? Could probably carry more and less poop contact (?).
Love your videos! You young people are so amazing. I wish I had your energy. You’re doing great!
Nick's "You tell em" will always get me LMAO
I have become absolutely enthralled with this content. Not only is the house beautiful and I look forward to the full rebuild but also your editing is very well done
This house renovation is my current favourite viewing, and we haven’t even got to the interior design part, and mid century interior design is my thing. I’m so invested in seeing this house all come together. I just know it’s going to be amazing.
Watching you sweep up the floors at the end.. tears in my eyes! You guys should be so proud. The house looks amazing and thank you for saving it!!
Loving the stacked insulation in the bin.
Very efficient.
Hey Jenna I really like the music that you have been using for these videos! Can you make a playlist of the music you've used?
Agree! 😊
I cant wait to see the 3 episodes where they remove the nails and screws from the joists and beams. 🤣 All the ones holding the drywall alone will take days 😃
Great update 2x👍
100%. I think they will need to host a nail/screw pulling party!
The American way of building houses can be really a pain in the a**. Renovating them is really a bigger challenge than brick-built houses that have no insects in them and are not rotten in the core.
These videos are SO compelling! There's just enough dialog to keep it fun. I loved that moment when you reached for the insulation and he dropped it. I've seen battles start between couples in a moment like that. Your response was so sweet and perfect...it's like I reached for a high five and you left me hanging ...not your exact words, but it was just so sweet and funny.
I also love the music you choose. It suits you both so well and makes for a relaxing fun video!
Can't wait to see what you'll with the place, even tho part of my brain is screaming "don't change a thing!!". Lol. Thanks for the entertainment!
I normally watch antique furniture restoration videos to learn new skills. The algorithm put this in my feed last week and I’ve since watched every single house restoration episode. I could never restore a WHOLE HOUSE, but your videos are fantastic to watch. I’ll be with you weekly going forward.
I´m crocheting a summer top while watching u built a house, its perfecttttt
As hard as you are working I see miles of staples or nails ...on the exposed wall and ceiling...and those all need to be flush ...so removal or cutting them off . Your strength and focus amazing. wishing you every good thing.
This house is going to be Fabulous! I’m on the 70 side of sixty and love watching your videos ✌️🌸
You could finally move on to the roof now! Address the electrical issues too. Start looking at what needs replaced
My new fav rendez-vous every Wednesday ! Hi from France 👋🐁
I can not express how much joy and warm fuzzy feelings this series has been bringing to my life! Thank you
I’m so invested… but wow, I get tired just watching all that work!
Great work guys! But that poor basically uncovered grand piano had my heart weeping
The end result of all this hard work is going to be so amazing
about 8,000 views just since I started watching the video! Jenna & Nick, that shows how much we all love watching you renovate your home! I know I am not the only one who keeps checking for when that video will drop on Wednesdays!
the silences are sooo funny i crack up everytime, idk how you guys keep a straight face
i'm starting to need a playlist for the songs used in these series, man its so calming
I so appreciate your work ethic.
A clean workspace is a safe workspace (and more inspiring!)
I completely understand bin pride. My partner (at the time) and I demo'd a 40' trailer home and put everything, except a few things we were going to upcycle and the metal frame, into 1 bin. Felt so much happiness when the pickup guy couldn't believe it was so organized. He expected to get 3 bin charges from us. Soooo satisfying!!
Mad bin skills Jenna!
The sweeping of the floor after working so hard is just the best ...when you look back into the space you've just worked on oooh love that feeling ...😊
Considering all the water damage, ants and mice it makes sense to get the house done to the studs. This way you can be reassured all those problems are dealt with. I was hoping you would have kept some of the panel boards to reuse somewhere else in the house. So glad that the bones are in good condition. ❤
If you can afford Rockwool insulation, I highly recommend it. Better rodent and mold/moisture resistance and much higher noise damping. So much easier to install too. Use a bread knife to cut it...
I'm so impressed with how much progress you have done on this house already!
You're lucky you have wool for insulation! I had glas wool, that was pure hell. I also filled an entire bin, but it was really expensive getting rid of...😆
This house is made of what is called "Old Growth" lumber the growth rings are small, many, and tight together making wood that is far more structurally sound and resistant to moisture movement. If your house is older than the 80's you likely have this wood instead of "Fast Growth" aka "New Growth" lumber.
I'm not y'all's parent and don't know you at all, but I'm SO PROUD of you for all your hard, HARD work❣️
Sitting here crocheting and watching you work. Seems fitting. 😊
It's adorable how proud Jenna is of filling the bin. Good work you guys. 👍
It’s amazing to see how much you two have accomplished together and with the help of family members!! I can’t imagine how much money you saved by doing all this demo yourselves… most people wouldn’t put in this level of sweat equity. GREAT WORK!!
I like how you named the rats Remy and Francesca
We named the (living) groundhogs that were evicted from my daughter's newly purchased abandoned house Greg and Matilda 😄
The way the basement insulation came out so nicely 18:23
I love the music you pick as background in your house videos. So relaxing
My fiance and i are glued to your progress videos. We are in the midst of our own. I am personally interested in what you do with your roof. I am a commercial roofer by trade, so i deal with low slope single ply membranes a lot... I know its an uphill climb for a residential property owner to go through the process to get a well done installation on their home. 96% of residential roofers (shinglers) are not qualified to roof your home. They will mess up the details, and you won't realize it until a year or so after you finished the inside.
The dark grey Insulation: rockwool (in basement and other places).
i love that the insulation is so intact for the most part that you and stack it neatly. Well done!
As usual you two continue to amaze me. For your work ethic and the fact that you still love each other. Lol these kinds of projects can try the best of souls. I see that you personalities are very similar , patient and kind. None of this looks easy but you both take it in stride. God Bless you both. What an amazing accomplishment.
I had to giggle when at 12:40 you presented the insulation to her like a precious gift and she inspected it.
the bin is a masterpiece!! i love to tetris stuff into moving trucks for friends and this hits the same happy place!
I absolutely love your crochet videos but these videos are so exciting!!!🎉
I absolutely love watching the progress of this house! Your editing style makes it so calming to watch! I can't wait to see the end result~
Jenna and Nick are an incredible team! The way they work together is impressive. Goals!!!
Highly recommend rockwool insulation. Higher cost, but worth it.
Yay Jenna made a video
Beautiful couple, beautiful home exciting adventures ahead, and I am here for it!
the company being named "bin there" is just too good, Jenna
I would leave exposed beams since it's beautiful cedar
I’m really loving the journey with the house ❤❤
I was waiting anxiously for this update lol, but it was over too quick 😩
I enjoy the music you play
Same
Yes, Amazed how pristine some of the wood was under the insulation on your walls and ceiling too. The no hammer hole is unexceptionable at 10 dollars more. Yes, online thrifting is awesome! The nasty ceiling insulation and yikes electrical!!
Favourite day of the week😊
Now get sprayers and spray vinegar and water everywhere. And let it dry, then repeat again. It will kill all the mould spores that might be concealed.
Unfortunately it won’t. Vinegar (much less diluted vinegar) doesn’t kill mold
My home reno guy said hydrogen peroxide kills mold. I use vinegar too
Uvil8zer blue light to kill mold
@@ceccato91Its H2O2 that doesn't work. White vinegar is a natural acid. It's non-toxic and harmless to the environment. It's also can kill up to 82% of mould species. Its extremely cheap and simple, no special equipment needed. Dissolved borax also works in a spray bottle and also bleach. The most important point is most mould needs to be physically removed. We are talking here about spraying down what looks like uncontaminated remaining material. There are several advantage over light (the correct treatment being IR not blue) as soaked treatment penetrates beyond a surface treatment.
@@civiprepper I’m doctor and wrote thesis on microbiology. Vinegar doesn’t kill mold! And physically removing them is dangerous. You’ll just spread microscopic spores.
