My house is probably held together by lathe and plaster 😂 shits strong

Only good thing about lath and plaster is how tough it is. I have multiple times bumped furniture into the wall and always it's the furniture that takes the damage. I would only recommend it for new construction with lots of pictures and drawings of where the HVAC, pipes, and electrical is for future homeowners to look at for repairs/hanging objects.

Signs of a craftsman house: NOT popcorn stucco siding!!!! It looks to me like a cheap house trying to look a little craftsman with some easy details (windows) that was then updated by someone who didn't know/care about craftsman details. Missing porch is a deal breaker!

was a beautiful house and you gentrified the hell out of it. looks like shit 😭

A perfect example regarding the use of many paint colors used on these types of homes is The Painted Ladies in San Francisco. They're iconic.

There's no real hint of sentimentality to your presentation. It's good and informative and I believe you really enjoy these houses but don't you think it's time to ask Queen Anne's number and take her to dinner😂 . It's okay I just am used to people being kind of gushy gushy or overly sentimental about Victorian life. Even the people that are critical of the way people were treated back then have a way of making it dramatic even if they're looking at it through a melancholy lens. I enjoy all perspectives on a subject I'm fascinated about. Thank you

Don't remove walls. It's a four square keep it original. You ruin when make it modern.

I hope you don't ruin it with modern kitchen.

Any supernatural guests in this home?

Thanks for your insightful video

what is the software that you are using to mark up the photos?

What is that cellulose between the 2x4s? Is that asbestos?

Good news. I think I found the listing and looks like they kept the wall and got a nice profit.

Fun fact. Drywall molds as it’s mold food but plaster will not mold readily. Plaster breathes and plaster sets permanently

Tonnes of beautiful antique wood work? Let's paint it black!

Oh my gosh. I hate the music. Love the house and the people, but stop the crazy music.

You guys are prime examples of people who have no idea what they are doing and see succes because of a hot market. Please god stop it.

Architect here....this isn't a craftsman home. Its out of the date range and isn't at all in the craftsman style. Even one of the example picture isn't a craftsman style. Lots of people who don't study this for a living will often get confused. Id say this was 30-40's built.

So helpful. I really appreciate your knowledge and expertise!

Moving to Beaverdale in December. You get so muc for the money compared to the Phoenix Az market the past 4 years.

nice production in this.

It’s a FOURSQUARE! Why “blow through” the dining wall?! Because YOU like the OPEN/BLENDING of kitchen/dining room?! Poor idea! Deal breaker for me. From an American Foursquare owner.

It's not really a craftsman house. Structure is as important as detail in craftsman, and this example is not in any way indicative of craftsman structure. It appears to me to be vernacular side-saltbox with craftsman details/sensibilities. Probably built in the 20's or 30's and trying to be fancier and up-to-date.

You're destroying affordable housing during a housing shortage. You've taken 6 affordable apartments and replaced them with a single luxury unit. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Yo, @1:23 that is a Sideboard. An armoire is like a wardrobe..

Why buy a house with a beautiful dining room only to change it into a bulge on the kitchen? Who in hell wants to entertain among dirty dishes and pots and pans? Your idea sucks. Buy a crummy mid century house that has no dining room. You'll love it.

You’re putting a duplex or townhouse right next to it? That ruins the entire block because no one wants to live next to those. You’re basically putting section 8 housing next to a historic building.

The Drake neighborhood has gotten a bad rap in recent years, which is unfortunate. Glad to see people taking pride in this community.

Of course, she’s going to “ blow through this wall.” God forbid there’s no open floor plan in a hundred year old house. 🙄

So you're going to build an eyesore townhouse or duplex next to it. Sigh.

Mansion to mcmansion feel real quick.

Ugghh you ruined the house. Idiocy.

I am wondering about the first floor floors. Looks like older hardwood with some serious imperfections in places. Are you going to try restore them or just cover them up? IMHO, it could go either way. Best of luck on this nice older house.

Sweet

Thanks for the clear explanation! Even with an imperfect example behind you, you did a great job explaining everything ^_^ I just moved in to a Craftsman-style home and I'm trying to learn all about the style to restore it with as many of the original design sensibilities in mind. I'd love to see where y'all take this particular home style-wise, it sounds like we're doing similar things by keeping the OG style in mind but making it work for contemporary life and resellability

Can't wait to see what you do to this property. It has seen some hard times. That bathroom will have to be completely redone. Good luck, you all. You make me wish I had plans to move to Des Moines. Peace.

Very true. Those new build cookie cutter neighborhoods are just creepy to me.

L💜ve the China cabinet!

Thank you for your quick response. I am not looking to buy now, but I must ask if you work in locations other than Kansas and Iowa?

Great looking house. You have done yourselves proud renewing the interior. Is this house spoken for?

Best of luck to you, Mark, Lakeisha and family. Can't wait to see how the renewal turns out. I really like the outer design of the house. Very cool.

That's a nice property, a lot of potential!

❤️❤️

I drive by that house everyday! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it!

looks like shit

Excited to see it.

People aren't looking for 'style' nowadays, especially when it comes to kitchens. Everything now looks the same and appliances have become incredibly boring. We had better and more diverse appliances and kitchen designs in the past. Now it is all cooky-cutter, one style fits all.

How to ruin a great house in 4 minutes. What a disaster!

Nothing wrong with kitchen cabinets.

Very Good!!!
