First Renovations on my Uncle's House are DONE! $25000 Later!! Reveal!

[@kevinallen8162]

Randy, admire what you are doing for your family home. I tried to do the same for my great grandparents home nearly forty years ago, but made one mistake. The home was similar in age to yours and it still had the original knob and tube wiring. I scheduled the rewiring too late in the project, and one night the knob and tube wiring shorted out and burned the house to the ground -- just a week before the electrician was scheduled to do the rewiring. I learned my lesson and when I had my 1920 bungalow refurbished, the electrician was the first to be called. Please, learn from my mistake, if you don't know whether your house has knob and tube wiring, have an electrician check to determine whether it does.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

The electrical was completely redone around 20 years ago so that won’t be an issue here but thank you for the warning

[@austinsnedeker4084]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate Mike’s dedication to helping Randy to much lately. Definitely good to have his goofy self on the channel.

[@StalloneSiciliano]

We all need some monkey wrench Mike's in our lives !

[@bk_goatkim679]

Seriously he’s like so much older then randy but it seems like they’re brothers it’s so amazing. That comment is awesome

[@Chrisc205]

Every video they make together I appreciate Mike being there to help Randy. Especially this time of year when it means the most. Hope you’re all having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with the ones who mean the most to you!

[@just4kicks950]

@@StalloneSiciliano Yesssir indeed we due. Both Monkey wrench Mike & Santa's workshop are so humble "down to earth" guys along with Randy. Their channels are awesome too. 💯👊

[@jerseydevil1995]

I agree, Mike is a real homie for that one. I'd consider him family for just dropping everything and helping ol boy Randy out. That takes some real heart.

[@chrisreust7540]

Mike is the friend everyone needs to have. Guy does everything he can to help you with your uncles house and the cars!! I love watching you two together. He’s always there for you.

[@brian5o]

Just the fact that Jessica wanted to have Thanksgiving at your Uncle's old house to honor him is so special. You are truly blessed, Randy.

[@Benzbuild]

I believe the opening on sides of the roof is venting for the roof. It important to have a roof vented or your wood sheathing under the shingles will dry out in extreme heat conditions and will fall apart over a short time. If they don't have any venting on the top of the roof

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

You got it. 👍

[@daviddelgado5954]

I like that house, it is paid off, it has character and a high sentimental value, what else more do you want? This house is a home!!! Congrats Randy, your uncle will be very proud of everything you have done to the house and will be with everything you will do to it :) Another AAR extension!!!!

[@darylkik777]

This is how you know when you really have a best friend. Most so called friends are what I call, "Good time friends." They are all around when the going is good, but run like the cockroaches they are when hit by the light of the hard times. Mike you are such a good friend and this is not the first time you have been with Randy to help out. I am sure you give him a hard time when the camera is off, but its all with love. I would trade almost anything I have for a true friend like you. Thanks

[@stevekaphingst4327]

I love this video! Seeing young Randy and daughter in that photo just about brought tears to my eyes. I remember the video you released a lifetime ago with her driving in that parking lot. The intimate moments you share is what makes your channel stand out. To someone that has nothing, or pays a ridiculous about of money for a garbage rental property, this house would be a dream. Its been expensive to make it livable, but I understand why you did it.

[@mitchellmartinez]

This house is worth every penny put into it because it's not about the money it's about memories and sentimental purpose you have a lot of memories and it's been in your family for a long time

[@frankm8533]

100% agree

[@brianheck1118]

Mike is a great friend and wingman! House is going to be sharp once you're finished.

[@えどわーど-b9k]

Randy never forgets his ROOTS where he came from.👍👍 This house is WORTH fixing it, FAMILY memories are PRICELSS.

[@williamcochell9889]

Hey Randy, Great to have a Thanksgiving with you in it! hate to ask but the thought crossed my mind under those Old shakes typically was asbestos! however the house is so Old it may be Pre asbestos! Love to see that combo of you and monkey wrench Mike! and what a fantastic friendship! and what a friend he has to be there with you!

[@GrumpyOldMoparGuy]

Nice work on your uncle's place, you and Mike work great together. Have a great Thanksgiving there!

[@michaeldoering3231]

Randy just ignore the haters. The house is a part of your family. And on top of it all it's your money and it's not anyone's business how you spend it. Thanks for the great content and looking forward to more videos as you fix it up.

[@garylyddan849]

You two has done a great job on your uncles house!! I love you two together Randy and Mike really work together enjoy it so much!!! Show us Miss Jessica!!

[@elgrifo5084]

The hood scoop looking thing is called Deck air. Customers always freak out thinking it’s an opening until it’s explained 😅

[@mjginc.1471]

looks great randy you should be extremely proud of what you have done. that is your family home.......so many people wish they could have done something like this. I'm proud of you man. the place is starting to look like a home. I love these videos !!!!!!

[@lawrencetaylor5481]

Mike said it best. It's more than a house to you, it's your past, it's your memories. Stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Randy.

[@JDM_Cars..]

Honestly Randy your doing a lot for memories and that is what you call dedication and for 60k that’s alot of house keep it up Randy!

[@bk_goatkim679]

Boy oh boy it’s changed a lot! I’m sure your uncle and grandparents are looking down at y’all saying good job and stuff like that! I’m so happy to see how much the house looked! Good job Mike to help Randy out as always! 20:37 is the funniest I’ve seen Mike and Randy! Great video as always! This video is so fitting for thanksgiving! Hope Nick can understand what this house means to you and your family!!!

[@WthaHatchet]

Just wanted to say Randy that I'm really sorry for your loss. I know your Uncle meant a lot to you and I think you are doing him and your grandparents great justice and tribute by doing what you are doing. Your uncle seemed like someone id be good friends with too. Great taste in music, movies, cars, and women 😄 Cool dude. Glad we all get to know a bit about him. He sure inspired and helped you become who you are and I totally can see that! Really lovin this content and with Monkey Wrench Mike! Gotta love the guy. Props to him to for the hard work and being a dang good friend like you are to him. I dig it man! Look forward to everything you do in the future for sure. Keep on Keepin man! Youre killin it! 🤘 Ps Thanks for caring about the birds and squirrels man. I'm the same way about feeding them.

[@christopherbrown-co1bn]

Nevermind what others are saying, because you're doing the right thing with that house. It's too much sentimental value there so keep building on it man. Good job for the effort

[@donaldwhitten2438]

Randy I do understand why you are fixing up the old house and I think it's great. I used to live in Indiana. I lived in Monticello and the area you are in reminds me of Monticello. I have a lot of family who lives there still. Keep up the great work you and Mike. Have a great day and God bless the 2 of you.

[@jpogera9939]

Randy...great job on ur content....let me add one point if I may...Mike is a great friend...love what he adds to ur channel....still love when u guys brought the Chevelle home...u are both blessed to have each other...have a great holidays to the both of you....ps I'm a carpenter...ur uncle's house isn't that bad...wish I lived closer ..would love to have helped.. roof has air vents

[@jasonc422]

Wow, so much progress!! I appreciate how humble you are and your pictures in that house are so heartwarming! I cant wait to see how the windows look. It also might be better to get estimates on the foundation, but just make sure that the interior will be level when installing new floors! Thank you Mike for helping!! Happy Thanksgiving!! 🥰🦃🍁

[@MrKLenning]

You guys did a wonderful job on the old house so far! You're doing the right thing Randy! I'm actually living in my grandparent's house as we speak, and it was passed down to me from my father. Happy Thanksgiving to both you and your family!

[@cetj-1990]

Randy memories are priceless compared to a new home and a home isn't just 4 walls . And Mike has been a real trooper on helping you he is a great friend . And I enjoy both of you guys videos .

[@dewdew34]

Mike's a solid dude. Friends like that you keep it straight 100 with them.

[@Mr_Texas19]

I think the house looks great from when you first got there. I think cleaning up the sidwalk and walkway along with the fence would be a big improvement. I would get the necessities fixed like the plumbing, electrical, and heating. Eventually I would recommend getting a free estimate and inspection by a general contractor to see what solutions there are for the back porch, flooring, plumbing, interior walls, exterior siding, etc.

[@ATX_Sensation]

The “hood scoops” are for air intake. For the attic fans to work, pull air out, there has to be air to displace it that comes in. Just like intake and exhaust on a car. The idea is to have airflow in the attic space too cool it down so the heat doesn’t push down into the house and make it less comfortable. The crazy thing is that it does work.

[@2003cobramustang]

Mike is such a good friend helping you out with the house and everything else! House looks so much better looks great! You have great memories in the house glad you saved it and slowly fixing it! Your grandparents and uncle are definitely smiling!!

[@nayyeriqbal7142]

You are a very good person Sir, we really appreciate it what you are doing to keep the family memories alive. Sir Randy, I really love this content, your uncle and Grand Parent will so proud of you. May God Bless you Always Stay Safe be Blessed Always and Thank you, Mr Mike For Helping Randy I really appreciate it. A Friend in need is a friend indeed. I appreciate Mr Mike’s dedication to helping Randy to much. AAR HQ 2

[@kylerwalker]

Such a great video man love watching seeing you bring back your uncles house it takes time people don't understand the memories that houses have and very glad that monkey wrench Mike is helping you too can't wait to see more videos on the copart walk arounds in both locations and the house renovations too it's great to watch!! Keep doing good work and happy late thanksgiving!!

[@danjones6279]

Usually I have no interest in house renovations or things like that, I don't watch those shows, but this is different, I guess because of the story. I think it's great how you're bringing it back to life Randy, it must give you pride and enjoyment, and I wish you all the best with it. Love from Manchester, UK 🇬🇧

[@mikeg884]

Randy, you are doing the right thing. Family legacy is so important. Good job!

[@aksgarage3230]

Watching this video shows how far you have come Randy. It's great that you have the resources and the opportunity to fix the family/generational home your grandparents lived in. Your doing the right thing. Put Ron's house out front somewhere. I think that would solidify who's house it is.

[@charlescanter2628]

Big appreciation to Mike for helping you out with that house he's been a trooper with you I'm glad that he's enjoying the trips and enjoying working with you I enjoy your videos Randy keep up the good work that you've been doing I can't wait to see you tomorrow car videos when they come out and the house project great work keep up the good work

The house looks great Randy ! You'll get there eventually to the improvements you want ! I enjoy watching your videos ! Have a blessed day bud !

[@Jasonalexander-l7e]

I commented on your Facebook page, some people aren’t aware that in the medicine cabinet there’s a slot and that’s where you would put your old used razor blades back in the day and they would just go down inside the wall. Lots of people don’t know that. :) love your videos, man

[@darrenndlovu72]

mike is a good friend that's why p watch both your videos Randy your pockets are full of money hats off

[@DEVidzful]

Bruhhh you and Mike in these adventures are amazing. Seeing you too together is so cool. You guys working on the house is so awesome. The copart walk arounds and iaa walk arounds I love. Wish I could travel and do stuff like that. Love you guys!

[@unfinishedbusiness3164]

I love this. Please keep it going, I want to see the finished product.

[@jmayeux32]

Randy, It actually looks like a great place. Needs some work, but the bones are good. You did right by putting windows and roof first. It's going to be a great place to be again. And yea, you could tear it down and rebuild, but it wouldn't be the house with all your memories. Keep on going, this place is worth it.

[@elgrifo5084]

Make sure you check that place for Termites ……. It’s pretty cool your trying to keep the family home up and running. Salute

[@LKcustoms]

I love what ur doing to to the house cause ur uncle is so proud of u and no matter how much money u spend he will be so proud u restoring it and I know u can make it beautiful again. Have a wonderful day and the way that mike is helping u like it’s his life goal good job Randy and mike

I love these house videos especially on an old treasure like this. A piece of the great Americana. So many memories made within those walls. Awesome of you to save it.

[@Physical4ever]

The house is coming along great randy. I can’t wait to see the rest of it come together

[@DanEBoyd]

Haynes Manual for Taurus and Sable sitting on top of those boxes in the pic with your daughter!😁 That looks like a decent little neighborhood - especially that yellow '70-'72 El Camino down the street. That house should fix up pretty easily from here. Looks like old galvanized plumbing, so you'll want to replace that with copper or Pex which won't clog. I'll bet you could replumb that house in a day or two...

[@toolzshed]

Yayyy this is like Randy Tool Time, Home Improvements 🤘🏽😊

[@danielventura8073]

I hear you on the roof rebuild. I had mine done and our rebuild included all new ceiling joists and rebuilt trusses, and the porch roof was rotted so that was rebuilt and screened in. Many thousands of $$$ but well worth it.

[@jfayzon419]

Good move Randy. We all admire you and Monkey Wrench Mike.👍👍

[@nathankim7664]

Wow, I likin' the new episode of "Home Improvement"!😂 In all seriousness, I enjoyed the progress of the house! It's coming together GREAT! I can't wait for more! I hope the back porch & room can be saved. If not, maybe an addition is in place? I noticed thats what a lot of the houses there have done.

[@chrisgrevson5563]

It’s looking really really good so far! I love seeing the progress!!

[@dustinwalker9468]

I'm glad that you bought the house and saving it. Congratulations 🎊

[@jamesbyrge6484]

American Flag is a must!! Appreciate your patriotism in flying. Suspect the hood scoop is to let air in at the bottom and flow through your upper vents for equalized pressures during storms, tornado weather and also allow the hot air out in the summer. We buy furniture at big lots as well.

[@ThomasJones-sz3sx]

Roof looks great Randy......Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@jtktkdo8940]

I think those scoops are for venting the attic. You might want to add gutters so you protect the foundation/basements and your investment.

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

You did wonderfully Randy, your Uncle and Grandparents would be PROUD. 😎👌🙏👍 P.S you to Mike for being such a great friend. 👌👍

[@SandyNickk]

Ya know what man, for a project like this, who cares if its good business to restore it or not. It is a nice little house, you wont be upside down on it if you can hang around the $60k budget. Hell, if you never plan on selling it, all that matters is what its worth to you. I really enjoyed the episode and am excited to see the next installment!

Could that be ventilation for the attic maybe? Some sort of narrow vents. Just guessing of course! House is looking good also!
