Episode 5: The Big Push - Renovating My Toronto Victorian Home

Hello and welcome back to my channel!
Today's video is all about the next stage of our Victorian home renovations.
If this is your first time visiting my channel, my fiance Adam and I started planning a big home renovation over a year ago. Nine months ago we finally received our Toronto building permit and were able to begin the process of transforming our Toronto Victorian home into our dream house!
In episode 5 of my home renovation series I share the last two months of progress including redoing our roof, installing LVL's on the 2nd floor, framing the second floor, plumbing, electrical, insulation, having a mould made of my ceiling medallion, instillation of our new Crittall style back door, painting of my ornate Victorian cast iron radiators, and so much more!

Amazing work love that massive glass door! Do you have an structural engineer to help with the planning? What does it take to open up the back

[@isthatsoh]

Yes we hired a structural engineer to do drawings for us so we could get our permit. He said we needed a moment frame to support the brick wall as well as the frame/weight of the door. Since we had a door (a smaller door) there already our steel beam structural contractor had to build a temporary support for the brick before knocking out the brick we didn’t need. Then he brought in a steel moment frame to hold everything in place

I believe we covered this in episode 2 if you want to see how it was done
