  • Watching this couple working together so well and getting so much accomplished sure brought back some fond memories for me. About 25 years ago my late wife (23 years since she passed away) and I purchased five acres of land out in the country to get away from the noise and frustrations of living with wall to wall neighbors. We had an old 27' Allegro motor home that we brought out to the land to stay in when we were clearing the property and to live in on weekends. It was a LOT of work but in a short time we had enough cleared that we could have a house that she found that was going to be demolished to make way for a new four-laned street moved out to the property. That being done, we worked like crazy to get the plumbing and electrical completed so we could move in. Sadly, my precious gift from God did not live to see the project completed, passing away from cancer just three weeks after being diagnosed, but enough that she could have the things she wanted built for it. The one thing I did learn from all of that working together was just how really close we grew every day. I had the best wife and partner any man could ever dream of having. Just seeing the happiness on her face each time we passed another milestone just made me work that much harder to get us into the house and having time to relax together and enjoy it. In the 23 years since she's been gone I have thought about selling the place and moving on but somehow I just can't seem to being myself to do it. There is just so much of her still here. Seeing this couple and how well they work together and the feelings that they have for each other really brought a lot of what we had back to me. I wish this young couple many decades of happiness and health as they work to build their dream together.

  • I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.

    • While I agree that insulation should of came over good looks….having that particular stove and a couple others of similar size, for a 10x10 canvas tent and a 16’ camp trailer. I’m positive that stove is more than adequate for a 10x10 room(now even smaller with full 2x4 framing) and especially sleeping in loft bed. Here in the Rocky mtns, in 1’ of snow those lil stoves are great in tent or 1975 16’ camp trailer I gutted propane heater out of to put wood stove in. That being said tho I would of definitely waited on the paint and stained molding and INSULATED!….at minimum the bare tin roof… I’d love to find a property like that. Except I’d of made some storage use of the floor trench. But to each their own. Fun couple to watch! Enjoyed video. Everyone will have different ideas. Great job!

It would have been better to form the present concrete floor and add 6 inches of concrete to get the level above grade. But I understand doing this on a shoe string you have to do the best you can and they have done a great job.

Basements were the same mostly stone or large brick with dirt floors. But French (or Roman or Greek drains) have been around for centuries in one form or another and used even with those raised crawlspace type foundations. They are invaluable in keeping water out of homes. But since on grade footing stem wall slab system became all the rage many have forgotten to ensure French drains are there to take excess water away and in heavy rains homes can and do experience water flooding on their slab floors.

  • Great video. Reminds me of the project I had about three years ago. My wife and I bought a house from hoarders in June 2019. If you've ever seen that show on TLC (Hoarders), this house could have been an episode. Raccoons had lived in the attic for years and raccoons don't care where they go to the bathroom which meant that there was about 10 years worth of racoon poop in the attic that had to be cleaned out and insulation replaced. Then they had cats living in the house for years. They cleaned out the litter box and put the old kitty litter in the empty kitty litter pails but then they never threw the full pails of old stinky kitty litter away. They stacked them in the basement. There were 22 pails of used kitty litter stored down there. 35 lbs each pail. (That's over 700 lbs of used kitty litter.) It took almost a year to get rid of all the different odors. Because we were on a tight budget and couldn't afford one of those big garbage bins we had to put all the trash in 33 gal trash bags and put them in three garbage cans and two recycle bins each week. All total I estimate that I threw away approx 300 bags of trash and approx 5,000 lbs of recycled paper. The roof had not been replaced until many years after water leak damage had already been done. I worked on the house a lot when the economy shut down for covid (approx 60-70 hours/wk) but had to quit once the economy opened back up. For one, because I was sick of working on the house and two, because I had run out of money and had to go back to working lots of O/T so I could afford the stuff for renovation. But besides being a real confidence builder being able to tackle something so big by myself it has also been a great investment. We bought the house for $5,000 and is now worth approx $235-250,000. I wish I would have taken the time to video all that I did to this house as you did. So many amazing stories about this house project; We took possession of the house on July 10th and the following day the A/C went out and had to replace the unit. One month later the house was struck by lightning. Thanks goodness we had already gotten the house insured because it was $15,000 for that repair. Then there was the ziplock freezer bag my wife found with $1,500 cash in it. And then there was the scanner we found and didn't realize what it was until a guy buying junk furniture from me recognized it, looked it up on ebay where it was selling for $1,900. It is definitely the biggest project I've ever undertaken. You did a great job on this video and on your project. Props to you and your wife for a great job.

That being said painting that building black will make it turn into a sauna during summer, and I would personally have improved that hole in the middle of the floor to turn it into a storage area, could even be a wine cellar or something like that since it would have a somewhat controlled temperature.

    • Sorry little more critical of the surface rust on the roof, walls and ventilation. Built a small room to live in. Never seen any primer put on the building to stop more rust. Hopefully that paint comes with primer in it. Paint seemed flat and worried 20 yrs from now your replacing sheet metal in your 50s or 60s. Also didn't see any lacquer seal over the wood finish on the outside. Wish them the best. Hopefully this is just the start of him making improvements like adding a coat of primer and lacquer once he gets settled in. Also see water that high up look at a raising the chicken pen off the ground and same for the goats. Look into annual rainfall in the area and what extreme bad flooding looks like in that area.
