A number of recent comments have recommended engaging an engineer to oversee / review the plan and the work. Watching today’s video has validated that recommendation for me. The thought that keeps crossing my mind is that the very hard lessons learned on the bin site are DIRECTLY applicable here … and I would be very careful to learn from that experience. I love the energy and the work ethic, but I an also believe in “measure twice and cut once”. Apply a little Corporate discipline, get the right people in a room and complete a lessons learned on the bin-site and review the plan for the house. And then review again … frequently. Lastly, people look for old barns, old gymnasium floors, and old houses just for the wood. Hard wood makes great floors, fireplace mantels, accent walls and much more. You can modernize the house but use that old wood in very modern ways while keeping a bit of the history. At a minimum, you may be able to sell it. Two cents from the peanut gallery.

I hated to see the subfloor cut up and dumped on the burn pile. Old growth that mover and the lumber from it is sought after by many people. You simply can’t buy new lumber of that same quality today because it doesn’t exist. But I also understand Cole’s dilemma. That house was a hoarders house and the cleanup has been extremely difficult. Sometimes you just want the old gone and the new clean updated brought in so you can get busy doing something else.

I wish he had brought in both of them. Without a calculated design he may spend more money and time than was needed. But I was 26 one time many years ago and it was hard to tell me thing’s when my mind was made up. I’m worried about the electrical runs, plumbing chases and HVAC systems not being properly sized and planned for without making a mistake in construction and having to redo something or compromise down the road. Good architects and structural engineers can be expensive up front but save a lot of money and time throughout construction and reducing or eliminating problems in the future of the home.

In the late 70s and early 80s we renovated a story and a half farm house that was built by my grandfather in 1941. We had similar interior wood doors and moldings which we refinished and they looked amazing. All new walls, insulation windows, wiring, plumbing and flooring. We did it all ourselves while we lived in the mess. We know you will have nothing but pride and satisfaction when you are done. Keep it up Cole, it’s worth the effort. For others that may not realize, some of the fir two by fours were as hard as petrified wood and would split if nailed without pre-drilling.

Cole, when you add the boards to the floor joists in the attic, it’s called sistering by the way, if you use regular 2 x 4’s or 2 x 6’s or LVL studs be sure to glue them to the existing boards with liquid nails or construction adhesive. This will guarantee you have a squeak free floor from now on. I would use LVL to sister the existing joists simply because they are much stronger and straighter than ordinary studs and because it looks like you only have 2 x 4’s up there now. If you ever plan to build out the attic all the extra weight from furniture and walking around will cause the floor to sag . Gluing LVLs will give you the most weight bearing strength without having to go to larger/ taller floor joists which will reduce the height in the attic.

advantech glue is the product to use for gluing the subfloor. Cost for LVLs is going to be too expensive: 2x6x20' is about $70 each. a southern pine 2x6x20' is about $12.50 As far as straightness, I am sure everyone of the installed 2x6 boards is far from straight.

Lots of ways to do this. If you're worried abut the ceiling joist deification. You might need a 2x8 or 2x10 next to the 2x6 ceiling joist. It might have been easier to add plywood on top of the 1x6 decking. Then sealed the decking to remove the smell or sprayed with vinegar. Also you might want to vault a bedroom ceiling on the second floor. Good luck

I would be working with a licensed engineer to work out dead loads of historically known snow and even if you are not doing in the near future add in the load for solar panels. To create a living space on the third floor. Sistering the joists while expensive it will allow for dead load which was never considered when they created the attic.I would be working on mechanicals first; closed-loop geothermal heat pump would be the way for heating and cooling and finalize electrical layout and get a licensed electrician to get a new panel I would over size the conduit and run some communication stuff for cable and a back up for wifi.

Cole you have done wonders on the property and house. Have you considered placing a laundry room on the 2nd floor near the bedroom areas. It will save a lot of trips up and down stairs with laundry baskets. You could put a washer and dryer in the basement just to do your field clothes; keeps that dirt out of the upstairs laundry. Also consider putting your attic and 2nd floor wired to a separate electrical service box. You can get all the new wiring completed while the walls and ceilings are open and have power up there while working. It also completely separates old from new electrical. Then when you start downstairs or renovations you put the downstairs, basement and garage etc on the a separate electrical service box. You could add a separate furnace in the attic that will heat the 2nd floor and attic.

Cole NASA did a study that showed that as little as a 5% Gap in coverage in insulation equals a 50% energy loss. That includes heat transfer between studs windows and other things. You know this but insulate insulate insulate seal gaps. There's a cool invention out there I saw where they create positive pressure in the house and his little spider web type stuff that fills in any gaps.

Um, no. Wood is very porous and mouse/bird pee soaks ALL the way into the wood. That is why they removed all of it, you'll NEVER get the smell out.
