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.

[@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!!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@darylkik6204]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!! 🥰🦃🍁

[@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 !!!!!!

[@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.

[@toolzshed]

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

[@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.

[@johnlanter9592]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@destinray4789]

Happy thanksgiving randy

[@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.

[@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!!

[@jbshuggy]

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours, Randy! Thanks for the great content, as usual!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@alannewsome1729]

You needs some gutters on that house to protect the water from the foundation. But I like the house it’s got a lot of potential.

[@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.

[@jodyhughes5548]

The hood scoops on the roof are called vent-a-ridge they help vent out the hot air in the house during the summer

[@w0rd06]

Happy thanksgiving

[@rogernatale6953]

Love to see more videos on the progress on this house.

[@emmittmatthews8636]

We sold my parents house for $5 grand after they passed. It was a 1890 3 bedroom, solid built house, but it needed EVERYTHING gone over really. None of us wanted the project so we sold it. We looked for the right kind of guy that would fix it up right, and found him. He was a union electrician, so the house got a top to bottom rewiring that was top notch. He also did 95% of all the work himself while he lived there, and he made the place beautiful! After 5 years, all he had left to do was replace 2 more windows, and side it to cover up the old "insul-brick", but he sold it for $67.5 and walked away. He had enough he said..lol, and siding it was so expensive. He didn't make a ton, but it was worth it to him and we're all so happy to see that house saved! The new owners immediately started putting the siding on too. So many memories in that house. My parents lived in it for almost 50 years. What you're doing it well worth it, and you'll be so happy to see it done nicely.

[@TheRealOne86]

Suggestion! Change out the kitchen window to a sideways window, place the sink under the window and put the fridge on the left corner and stove on the right with cabinet top and bottom

[@WildDigger]

[@ricardoroeschgalvez3725]

I really like your outlook on life. Keep it simple and live with happiness with what you can. The important things are simple things.

[@roynelson8140]

The things on the roof are vents to let air in the attic I hope you have good luck with the shingles my experience when it’s below freezing they are prone to bust and the won’t stick till it gets warm so if you get high winds they can lift off laminate shingles stay put better but they can lift in a high wind

[@leftlanegaming530]

The house will look amazing when its done! Love the porch to!

[@kevinstarrider1258]

This old house is just like the rest of them you need to start from the ground add some support beams and braces and get everything stable and straight and then go back over the entire floor with a half inch of plywood and then put your pretty stuff on top of the plywood carpet or vinyl I would honestly suggest something decent like hardwood I’m not a fan of carpet or tile but maybe if it’s just rental propertyThat would be huge for the inside of your house floors good solid and straight
