Remodeling An Ex-Hoarder Mansion Ep. 8

That style house was intended to have fish scale cedar shakes in the dormers as it does now. As others have said, you can purchase panels of vinyl (heavier weight than the siding) fish scale cedar shake. That would look correct for the house and it just depends on what color, if it were me I'd stick with red.

Here is an idea. My friend bought his wife a new washer and dryer. The old ones were worn out. He put them on the curb as trash and the city said he would have to haul them to the scrap yard or land fill. So he immediately made a sign that said For Sale $500. That night someone stole them off the curb. Problem solved.

Hi Cole one of the biggest reason that I got hooked on your show was because of your honesty and your hard work period and I do mean the whole family's hard work you just don't see that anymore in this world it takes me back to the roots that I came from the farm. I've worked with a lot of people in my life and this generation has got to be the laziest. They don't want to do anything but sit around and play games and and be on their phone talking to their friends and it's just so nice to sit down with you every time you put a video out and you show me that good values are still there because your father know your father said that you did it yourself started from a very young age wanting to be responsible and stuff. And that just shows that there is still good people in the world that there is still hardworking Farmers out there. That's one of the biggest reasons that I got hooked on your show it reminds me of how hard work can get you somewhere and how if you are a hard worker and caring worker it shows in everything that you do in life. I'm just amazed at how much you accomplished young man. So enough words said oh, you got a subscriber that's going to follow you guys cuz I do enjoy all the stuff about farming.

I saw some vinyl siding that was molded like the shake shingles. Came in a lot of colors so it might could match or color accent. I think it was Lowes

I used the shake vinyl siding and I love it. Great suggestion. Just remember that they are wider so the screws can land in different places than regular siding.

[@makeuplover6852]

Hey Cole ...it’s going to look absolutely amazing! As a person who has had many decks built on many homes may 8 suggest you look into incorporating lighting in the deck stairs and also consider an over sized stair tread (or the depth of the tread)...it looks so lovely to have a few potted plants on the deeper stairs in the summer and winter simple greenery branches and some twinkle lights that operate on batteries are a very inexpensive but really amazing little touch. I sense that you plan on spending lots of quality time on your porch things like stair lighting and extra deep steps just make for a really lovely look but more importantly the lights are extremely useful not a big cost ( I’ve always done solar) and the extra deep steps are also really awesome for those who have mobility problems and they are also great for sitting when you have big family gatherings on the porch. Just some things to think about.

[@brianconway4275]

Cole, I'm a retired builder in West Des Moines. I applaud you for renovating your family's old farm house. My suggestion for your third floor gable is A) Nothing is maintenance free. B) Retain the look of your old cedar "fish scale" shingles but use Hardiplank cement precolored cement shingle panels or buy actual cedar shake panels. (I can't remember who manufactured the ones I used. Ask your plumber dealer) Both come in several shake shapes in approx 5' x 2' panels, easy and fast to put up and require minimal maintenance. ( The cement panels need repainting maybe 10-15yrs depending on exposure side of house and the cedar panels if you prestain with 2 coats of an exterior UV light blocking stain/coating (I used Sherwin Williams on my house) you'll get 4-8 yrs before recoating.)) Either would look awesome up there!! I built a house by Saylorville Lake back in 98 with the cedar panels in all the gables and they still look brand new! Good luck!!

[@CLEARVIEW666]

i'm sorry but i'm literally crying from laughter after DC called the dog frosted flakes. Great edit. My grandfather called every dog, dog. lol

[@deejaysavoie7158]

Lol

[@DasZuberRevisits]

Lol I can dig it! I call most dogs ‘puppy’ or ‘dag’ (Brad Pitt pronunciation from movie ‘snatch’)

[@pamkammann1176]

Lol lol my dad did that too.. I’d tell him their name and he’d still call them dog ..

[@mikebransden452]

I had a friend who had a cat called dog and a dog called cat! Perhaps DC is related in some way!

My granddad called all of his dogs Rex. My mom wanted a puppy, my dad did too so he said she could get it if she named him Rex. Rex was a good dog.

"Different t-shirts for different weather." What more fashion sense does anyone need?

I'm glad you're finally getting your porch, Cole. You've been talking about it for a while. Nothing better than progress towards a goal.

They make scallops like those around the attic windows in vinyl panels.

Remember when you have a lot of covered porch, you have a lot of outdoor maintenance and cleaning to do. It will need to be swept, porch furniture cleaned and dusted. You may have snow removal to do in the winter months, too. It's all looking good!

My son wanted to say, “He likes Larson and your videos. Thank you for making them.” He’s five and loves them.

[@danlowery3235]

Tell your son I'm 54 and I like both chanells too.

[@HeavyIronAcres]

It's looking great! Thanks for bringing us all along on your journey!
