I really appreciate the fact that you showed us three episodes of drywall It really demonstrates how much work goes into renovating a house. You're doing a phenomenal job and I can't wait to see more progress and making this awesome house more beautiful.
Agreed! ^^
100% I love this entire project.
Thank you!!! I was worried 3 episodes would be too much! 😭I had SOO much footage of taking the drywall down I wanted to share it all :)
I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been bummed every day that I’ve come here looking for a new video, and there wasn’t one. lol Can you possibly move a little faster for me please??? 😆 I love this content! And even though I don’t know you and you don’t know me, I have to say that I’m really proud of you guys for taking this HUGE project on, at your age, and putting the work in yourselves. You saved A LOT of money doing this hard part. Now the FUN begins! Making this place YOUR OWN! Thanks for taking us on the ride! 🎉
I've been thinking the same thing... show ALL of the work you guys are doing Jenna! I think it's amazing and your new home is going to look spectacular one day!!! ❤
Boy. That house is absolutely worth saving. The VIEW! It's going to be amazing.
Agree. The view is pretty nice.
This house is so beautiful and full of character, and it's amazing that so much of the solid wood is in good shape. I'm so excited to see it come back together!
I’ve always dreamed of buying an abandoned house to restore and watching this makes me want to jump in and do it soooooo bad. Homes are getting so expensive nowadays it honestly looks like an appealing option
I already thought the house was a great find that can be turned into something amazing, but I hadn't realized the views of the mountains and the water! WOW.
midcentury houses are the best ♥️
Jenna, please don't feel pressured to make any specific kind of content or think that it might get repetitive. I'm watching this content because of you and I'd watch you swipe dust in the same spot for an hour. It's all good.
Agreed! I'm not looking for a tutorial. I'm here the journey.
Yes we're literally watching her build her future here.
I agree! Here for the entire process. So excited to see the full transformation.
Agreed
Me too!!!!!!
Too late to mention this now for Jenna, but for anyone who might be doing the same thing, go to Harbor Freight, buy a bunch of tarps, and cover the floors before you start drywall removal. It makes it easer to clean afterward, and you can wrap up any leftover debris and just drag the tarps out of the house.
That’s genius!
Voice of experience!
She'll read this and be like "DAMNIT"
Harbor Freight is great but it's in the US. A good alternative for Canada is Princess Auto or Canadian Tire.
Midland in East Van is the best place for tarps in Vancouver.
i love watching this as a college student. studying can wait, drywall is forever
real! literally in the library watching it rn
yesss, taking a break from my essay to watch this!
omg SAME
I too am using this as break.
Unless you live in a humid area with a compromised exterior shell 😂😂😂
Please keep the monopoly set and proudly display it on a bookshelf! How fun to tell your future family and guests that you found it under the old sink. It will be a nice memento of the drywall saga!
Girl...get a wide industrial push broom. It will pay for itself during renovation. :) I still have mine years later for outside walkways.
I was going to leave the same comment. Definitely need some larger more durable work brooms.
I was just thinking that! Girl needs a big-ass push broom!
Oh yes we do love Mr Nickolas's fun facts!
An honestly I didn't even realize that you spent several episodes tackling drywall cuz it was still sooo interesting to watch and it did not feel repetitive whatsoever
Same ! I am learning so much from these video's 😊
Me too !!
Honestly the more you take out and take apart, the more its obvious that there's very little damage to the actual structure of the house, it's awesome that it's actually going to be savable because it's such a cool house
Agreed!! 👍🏻
This comment honestly says how little you understand about the way things are damaged
@@daethe nah I've done plenty of house renovations throughout my life and trust me, this house is a lot less damaged in regards to the frame than you'd normally expect for a house in that overall condition, sure some sections of the frame do need to be replaced but you've got to keep in mind this house was built with far denser and stronger wood than houses built in the last 20-30 years, it's genuinely impressive how good of a condition the frame is in when you take into consideration how long the house was abandoned for and how poorly maintained it was
@@PandamoniuGamingI’m still shocked there isn’t more rot on the wood frames, etc
@@jameemaree4602 the reason it's not as rotted as you'd expect for a newer house is because houses in the 60's and earlier were built using what's known as old growth wood which is extremely dense wood from very old trees which is way stronger and more resistant to rotting
You two are doing an amazing job of getting rid of all the mold contaminated wet drywall & insulation.
I gotta tell you, as a retired Realtor in the States, wood eating insects usually start outside the house before they get inside meaning they probably have a big community in all that rotting trees & brush. The main reason firewood is stacked away from the house & landscape is kept tidy.
Hang in there. I see another dumpster in your near future.
I hope she's sees this message, it's spot on!
Thumbs up so she sees this comment 🎉
Thisssss!!!!
Kind of feel. Like they have a secret crew there. And they only do a little work to flim. Or do i have trust issues.
I hope now that all the walls are exposed you have your home treated professionally for carpenter ants and termites . They love wet wood and do so much damage ….. we had them and it was hard to get rid of them. I am so happy you’re giving this architectural gem a new life
@JennaPhipps1 absolutely Jenna …. I’ve managed real estate the past 15 years so I’ve run into those mean little bugs a few times. Hope you can salvage some of that beautiful wood work .
This, this, this. I saw a few in my house, had the basement sprayed and dead serious here, afterwards there were so many dead and dying carpenter ants that I could not see the basement floor. And more continued to crawl out and die for six weeks. Horrifying
honestly record everything. A b roll of just sped up cleaning is still cool to watch as it shows the effort and transformation.
This is so much better than HGTV I really enjoy watching real people do this for their own benefit. Phenomenal content
When you started, there were many who said Tear It Down! or Get The Big Money Professionals! I am so happy and proud of you for doing this yourselves. There will still be time and reason for professionals, but this... this sweat equity is priceless. This will be YOUR home, not because you bought it, but because it will be a Phoenix of your making.
I am thrilled to be along for the ride.
Id love a Q&A on this whole process, like what made you buy an abandoned house, how'd you find it. How did your family feel about it etc.
I think they might have that on their podcast on the patreon
Adding another idea to the list: And more about the original builder and engineer!!
Absolutely gorgeous views. Good reminder why you’re doing this. I’m also renovating a house and when I get overwhelmed I just go in the backyard and stare at the pool to fall in love with the property again. Your view is my pool
wishing you luck with the renovation!
It's a journey to say the least! Good luck with your reno, i'm rooting for you!
@@JennaPhipps where is the property, I probably missed it, sorry
@@gwynrhysjones9911she’s in BC, Canada
My favorite niche of CZcams is when my sewists become homeowners!!!! Seeing your go-get-em / “f*ck it we ball” attitude from your previous sewing tutorials now emulated in this DIY home remodeling is so funny and charming to me and I’m 100% rooting for and inspired by you. Love your silly humor and the editing is top dog
Please, please, pretty please, save that beautiful redwood throughout your house. My wife and I rehabbed a MCM house in StL and we sanded and refinished it in place. We're so glad we did. Best of luck!
jenna: “we’re gonna carefully unscrew it”
drywall dave: *attacks wall with axe*
I never thought watching people ripping dry wall out could be so watchable. I am totally invested in your progression. You are certainly not afraid of hard work. My husband and I renovated our stone farmhouse, and while it was very rewarding it is relentless slog. I have great admiration for you both.
I like seeing you make progress... I'm also watching a guy rebuild an old ruined villa. Cementing in I-beams, cutting wood, nailing it in, and seeing things incrementally change. Watching someone rebuild an old landmark, slowly, day by day, is fascinating and satisfying. Being along for the ride during this process is the whole point.
Can I have the name of the guy ? I love this type of content
If you feel like stuff is too boring then set up the camera and do a video montage or whatever... like stop motion... I forget what it's called lol
@@tojisenpai87 Its probably the channel @escapetoruralfrance, he used to do uploads almost daily so progress was slow going but he's been picking up speed lately!
@@tojisenpai87Escape to rural France
@@Brazilianfro32lol hey you beat me to it
That's a 1935 edition Monopoly board/set. Yours is looking to be in high grade condition. I see an extremely used but complete set on Ebay right now for $25, so yours would have to be $50 to $75 US.
Remember to look at the Sold comps. The asking price is not always what it sells for.
You are doing an amazing job, and that boyfriend of your,s is amazing. He's a keeper for sure.
Fun to save it and play it when the house is finished!
There's one on ebay for 1299.00 and a set of 4 for 6000.00
@@speedywalden Not if you check the newest sold comps.
The views from the house is absolutely gorgeous! And like so many others have said, I haven’t even thought about the fact that you’ve been doing dry wall for several episodes. It’s just interesting to be part of the journey
Every time I see you throw drywall or anything awkward or heavy with one arm I'm reminded how I blew out my rotator cuff pitching a 2 x 4 out the window during a major renovation I did. Please protect your shoulders! I can't imagine how daunting your task is here. In the mean time, It's riveting and I'm hooked.
Removing the staples and nails from all remaining boards is going to make you go crazy!
Every time she said "we're done" or "we're finished with...", all I could think was "look at all those fasteners..."
Exactly what I was thinking.
I was thinking the same thing. It may be worth investing in some extra hammers, pry bars, and a magnet roller. Woof.
@@georgiacorey954no… Way too much work and would be a nuisance trying to screw in the drywall
Gosh, I remember taking up the carpet in a house I bought years ago. The carpet itself wasn’t so bad, but getting all the staples from the padding underneath out of the wood floors was a pain in the butt.
I absolutely love this series! You go, girl. Fix the house everyone told you you couldn't!
Absolutely ❤
Jenna climbing the wall to kick it in is my favorite. I would love to be part of this crew
When u replace water lines use pex water lines instead of copper. It will make it easier to install. Also get a house inspector to make a report on thing that need to be replaced and put it up to code!!
I'm going to strongly disagree based on the knowledge of rodents entering the walls. PEX is vulnerable to rodents.
Copper is the better choice here.
Either way, whatever they choose, I hope they have access to "shark bites", it saves so much time on the job.
How LUCKY is that LAND and HOME to have you guys rescue it. You will forever be blessed with a MILLION DOLLAR VIEW. You guys are amazing, and very inspirational 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
Those houses within that million dollar view are also worth a millions dollars or more.
Advice for the future. Knee pads. If you know someone who sews..... You can do a pocket on the knee of your work overalls and put EVA foam squares into the pocket. If you go the "armored knee pad" route you can sew belt loops into the legs to pass the straps though so the knee pads don't slide around.
I subscribed and am looking forward to they journey of seeing this house make a comeback. Thanks for saving it and bringing us along.
Cute comment because... she sews ( former videos 😅 )
It would be awesome if you did a breakdown of budget and made this like a DIY tv show where you disclose purchase cost, reno cost, final budget and time taken to do the work.
That "explosion" was likely the pipes bursting due to likely the owner not having the heat on while they were absent and the pipe froze and eventually filled up that space. Also that machine room confirms what I suspected when you found that brick chimney on the upper floor. It likely was designed with a different heating system, and they replaced it (hence the "new" wall.)
I think the saddest part of some of this is how much drywall was actually used. This was a luxury home and it was pretty much all drywall. It was a fad in the 70's/early-80's to have wood (like SOLID WOOD 1/4" thick) walls that inter-lock with each other in patterns (hence it could be un-screwed and reused.) What I seem to see in the video is decorative wood panel (which also interlocks, but is often nailed to the studs cause it will split if screws are used.)
One thing I do want to point out, it appears that the original insulation is rockwool 00:01:23 (which doesn't mold, and is water proof), where as that new wall is fiberglass which is cheaper. Regardless most homes in BC are fiberglass insulation because that's one of the products glass is recycled into. Rockwool has higher insulation values and is better at sound-proofing, but the "pink" fiberglass insulation is good enough as long as you insulate all the exterior walls, AND the walls around the bedroom (for sound insulation). You may also want to insulate the kitchen to keep it from heating the neighboring rooms sharing the wall.
"we're gonne carefully unscrew it"
*Jennas Dad smashing that axe into the wall one sec later*
best wishes and stay powerful! you got this 💕
I get the feeling that Drywall Dave really loves his job! 😄
All those papers like the telephone here and the Mr installers I bet are worth money at an antique shop. I know it’s weird but I’d love and would pay to have these!!!
A tip that's probably too late: when dealing with really dusty material, you can use shop vac bags to save you from having to replace your filter every day. Plus you can just take the bag out and throw it away for a slightly smaller mess. They're relatively cheap, especially if you get the generic ones.
Also, it's best to assume that everything will take longer than you think it will when it comes to renovations. Even in that scenario, it will probably take longer than you estimate.
Unless I'm doing something wet, I always keep a bag in my shop vac.
Golden rule renos is how ever long they say it takes to get done times it by 3 to get the accurate amount of time it takes.
That view off your deck helps me to understand why all the hard work is necessary. Keep up the good work. I believe in you guys.
My family has a cleaning and restoration business. We have done this type of job before. It is NO JOKE. You guys are doing an amazing job. Amazing. That view is stellar and that house is going to be so so worth it when all is said and done.
The fact that you’ve only found 4 mice so far is incredible btw. Lol I’m sure it doesn’t seem like a good thing, but we have done jobs where we’ve found dozens!
I hope the cool vintage colored bath fixtures can go back in the house when you redo it. They're solid surfaces and easy to disinfect. If not, I hope you offer them to other salvage and vintage enthusiasts, they were in great shape and those are hard to find these days.
This isn't just renovating, it's great storytelling.
I eagerly await each chapter.
Thank you for creating and sharing something HGTV never quite figured out. Chef's kiss good!
Agree!!! Hope they can create a pic wall or album of the story and process for future owners that may come if they ever sell.
that nature break in the middle was lovely. I'm so jealous of your scenery
Who else agrees that Jenna is one of the sweetest persons ever🥹🥹🩷🩷
Agree 👍
I totally agree :D
That pool, no one is talking about the pool? It’s amazing that it’s deep. I hope u restore it too. So excited I LOVE your channel.
It’s so impressive how happy you are now (compared to before) that this also reflects on your advertising for the video sponsor. It’s so beautiful to see you like this, that is also enjoyable to see the ads. ❤😊
I hope you continue to show every step of this reno, no mater how boring you think it might be.
The wood structure is in great shape that means that the roof will probably only need new sheeting excellent news for you all. Now the fun stuff begins.
Hopefully that is the case!
"Thanks for stopping by." That was so cute. 10:57
Mann y’all have gotten a LOT done in 5 weeks !!!!! The algorithm gave yall to us, and I am so happy bout it!
Dang you guys must be sore. I can feel my knees getting tired just by watching haha! I hope y’all take some day off to rest! ❤
The view to the trees cured my anxiety for a few minutes, love this videos! I also need a playlist of the songs! 😂😍
Someone may have already said this, but your house reminds me of the Cullen house (the architecture and landscape around it). I enjoy watching you all work on it, no matter what job you are doing.
@JennaPhipps11 I am relatively new to your channel, but I adore mid-century modern houses, so I was very intrigued. I was also happy to learn that your channel has crochet content, because I am an avid crocheter/amigurumi lover!!
LOVE that HUGE Fieldstone wall!!
Replace the fiberglass insulation with spray foam. It will seal all the air gaps and create a vapor barrier. Use mineral wool for the interior walls. It excellent for sound proofing.
I was just thinking about adding a note on this Alex. You are dead on right for pointing to the sprayfoam.
Spray foam off-gasses for a long time.
Spray foam is also a lot more expensive lol
I love watching the content no matter what it is these days. So therapeutic to watch everything being torn up.
Whoever selects the music for your videos is doing a fantastic job!
Thank you so much for allowing us along on your journey. I’m sure it’s going to be worth all your hard work in the end. You will have a wonderful home
Don't think it's boring. It really shows the hard work that goes into redoing a home on your own.
as a viewer I understand not filming because of the camera being a hassle, but I do not mind it being repetitive work AT ALL I love seeing you guys rip up walls and floors and everything no matter how many times you've shown it.
I enjoy every second of watching the progress you are making!!!! Your helper there, you need to grab a hold of him, don't ever let go, marry him, spend the rest of your life with him, otherwise, send him my daughters way! He is a KEEPER! I miss seeing Jack and Benson, but, I never get tired of watching you two work together as a TEAM! CARRY ON! ♥
Hey, I’m super proud of you. Keyboard warriors are so critical but you are super young. In 10 years, this will be a crazy, incredible memory and, no matter how over budget you go, you will be dripping in equity. Let the haters hate. Well behaved women never made history.
Literally have never seen a hate comment on her videos lol. I think you’re confusing people who are actual contractors/have experience and are giving good advice and sharing valid concerns!
@@sophiag612 I mostly watch her on IG. There are plenty of negative comments.
I always look forward to your post and oh my goodness what a spectacular view you have. I’m so excited for you. This project is going to turn out beautiful.
What a view. How wonderful it would be to sit back in your finished home sipping tea,coffee or whatever you like and enjoying the scenery
the editing at the end made me cackle, thank you for letting us join in on this renovating 😂😂🤣
With all of the hard work that they are doing to turn this abandoned home into something livable, hopefully this will be the home that they grow old and gray in!
I would say your getting a lot done for the time you’ve taken so far. Good job! This is a very time consuming process that will take over your life. Don’t let it eat you down. The end will be your greatest reward.
I can't wait to see every piece of insulation out of the ceiling because its so rotten and ineffective right now, and we're all going to be able to see the full space and sadly the damage the water has done.
That monopoly game is so cool. Looking on eBay it’s worth a few hundred dollars. Definitely worth saving. That old building tag is neat. You should leave it in the wall when you get to rebuilding for future owners to find. Progress is looking good!
Wow, never thought I would gladly watch 3 back to back videos of someone taking down drywall, but here I am. Happily and voluntarily doing so❤
This is awesome. I'm also sad about the yellow bathroom, but considering all the water damage, mold, 'splosions, and friends, it's a good job taking it down to the studs.
Love that you separated the metal ... make money from recycling!
Meh, I meticulously saved all my copper pipe to recycle it. For my whole 2600 sqft house it was worth about $150. Not sure I'd bother being so careful if doing it again.
Working with your Dad will be great memories.
You should’ve put a slide from one of the upper windows down to your dumpster, so you send the drywall straight into the dumpster. Instead of going up and down the stairs. I love your house and your view.
I absolutely love all these 60's songs you have been plugging into these videos!!
None of this is boring to me ☺️. Thanks for showing all of it. I wish I could send you a better push broom though!
This series is absolutely addictive, love the work you are doing! You guys get along so well and work so incredibly together
I’m so glad you’re saving this house
between the warmer weather and your vids, I've gotten renewed motivation to start my big outdoor projects, lots of bushes to pull and trees to cut.
This house will be so phenomenal once you’re done. Such a unique building. Happy to see you wanting to preserve it despite all the work needed. ❤
You should create a montage video showing the progression of your drywall chucking skills since you first started. I personally think it would be hilarious. You clearly would win the Gold medal 🥇 in the construction demolition Olympics.
Now spray everything with vinegar and water. It will kill the mould spores
Love how a literal architect lived here and every time some drywall comes down Nick is like “look at this really weird and probably Not To Code thing that’s here!”
Yes! 😂
Architects aren't engineers, and don't actually learn any construction codes.
Moreover it's the fact it was built before modern code.
@@tasteslikewallarchitects don’t build homes themselves, just design them and almost ALWAYS have a real engineer or contractor on site for building.
I’m so enjoying this series. I can not wait to see how this home is restored to glory. You both (plus Drywall Dave) are doing an amazing job. 😊
The motivation of your youth will be the beauty of your future. Well done ❤ it’s so wonderful to watch!
After all the demo, and then the rebuild, you can sit on your balcony and admire the view. Then, once the sun has gone down you can watch the videos of the amazing transformation you created with your own two hands. Congrats to you both. I both envy and admire you.
Jenna, you all are doing so much hard work, and additionally a lot of work to document this process. Thank you for documenting your renovations, it's very inspiring and motivating. ❤
My husband and I are building out our basement and watching you reminds me of a thought I had: Why do you have to hunch over to use the shop vac--why not a sucking wand a person can use standing up, particularly when you're already tired and don't need the old 'hunch and vac'? I'm just wondering. And thanks for sharing-- I keep thinking, "it's good to be young' because you get so much done in a day. We're a lot slower.
The parts are available to do it standing up, but they're kind of pricey at retail the last I looked. However, sometimes you can find them at garage sales when people have killed their shop vac. Or, if you're like me, your family has killed a few so you have plenty of rigid pipes to use.
You have worked so hard getting to the bare bones of this beautiful house. Soon you'll be able to start building it back up. Proud of you !
Sweeping compound will be your best friend. It gets all the drywall dust up better than vacuuming.
Thank you for taking us on your journey of renovation of your home. Love your sense of humor and hard work. Awesome soundtrack.
How great is it that you're documenting all of this? Watching this has been inspirational! Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us. 💗P.S.Your musical choices are just genius too!
These episodes are so good. I don’t care if it’s just you guys pulling off drywall. I’m loving every minute of it. Great job Jenna & Nick, Dad and mom!!!!
It’s sooooo satisfying watching each room get finished.
I hope @JennaPhipps reads this…
Take a time lapse photo of your straw broom every week of the renovations….
The results will be amazing.
I love this series. Once you start your rebuild, you should get The Sorry Girls in. They've done a couple of series where they've renovated their houses ❤ So looking forward to seeing what your house becomes as you start the rebuild and renovation
The Sorry Girls are in Toronto and one of them is dating a fellow from BC. So a trip out would be easy peasy for them. That is, if I have the house location right!
Little ladder safety tip. The top of the ladder should never be below your belly button. Once you go higher the weight distribution is too top heavy and the entire ladder can abruptly fly out from beneath you.
This house is going to be amazing when you are done with it.
The view alone makes the effort worth it. Yo going to cherish this home when it's done because you put so much love into getting it to where you want it. I am so proud of you.😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It is coming along, looking great. I think a nice new push broom would come in handy. Have you thought about using tarp to drag the dry wall out. Set the tarp under where you are demoing.
Can you please mention the music you use? I like your sense of humor. I watch other renovation channels led by men. They don't have such a sense of humor about all of the cleanup and found friends. 😂
Tip if you spray your dust as you sweep with a lil water it won’t go into the air. Also a big push broom is typically used on construction sites
I can't even imagine how tired you are every day after work in the house... You are doing the great job!
Jenna!! its looking great!! your guys are going to make it look beautiful!! guys like the video!! there's over 600 likes and over 4,000 views!
