How To Do a Proper Kitchen Demolition

[@richardsontrev]

Liked seeing a demo on a house that has a lot of surprises. Makes it much more practical than watching a video where everything is as expected. Easy to learn a lot more about things to look out for when taking on something like this.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Trevor, just showing a different style of video this week . really glad to get sop much feedback.

[@andrewcarr2431]

It would be great to video a "nightmare" house from start to finish. We are renovating a rental property right now and actually it is a barn conversion that is in better shape than some modern houses we have purchased in the past. Well the 2x4 joists are scary...but I'm sure the inspector will catch that next week. Then again, back in the day it was a barn and not designed to hold granite counters and a stone fireplace...

[@ofar4452]

I love how Jeff got 2 doors to 1 during demo of the upper doors... there is something to be said about experience. I really appreciate people who coach and not give people a hard time then they do not know :)

[@NicoleC510]

He sound like my dad when he came to look over my house LOL All I kept hearing was "Well that is just stupid who ever did this"

[@samifandi5585]

Looking forward to see how you are going to build everything back

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

We went with a open space and a minimalist kitchen with a massive island. I think you will like it.

[@RafeNeverExisted]

i lol'd at 8:45, Master just doing what he does best, and we see the apprentice struggling in background, lmfao

[@andrewcarr2431]

While you learn a lot at trade school, it is only in the real world with the Frankenstein setups that you really "learn".

[@pauldowell1228]

Your comments during the discovery period are exactly the words I say when I work on a family members’ home. I may be a DIY guy, but my work is to code.

[@AFKburrito]

Woah, hearing Jeff swear caught me off guard. It's like hearing Mr. Rogers swear, you know it's realistic and possible, but never thought you'd hear it. haha

[@marinomaranion5757]

Great content. A great mix of knowledge, action, and humor. Makes me wish I were right there with you guys. I have my first tear down renovation coming up soon, hopefully it all goes over as easily as this. Aside, This is the first time I’ve subscribed to someone’s channel from a single video view. Looking forward to your playlist, and watching this particular episode again.

[@thejemgirlchannel1585]

Your videos are great and a new subscriber from me :) It's scary how bad some wiring can be set up and I learnt some good tips about kitchen demolition that we might be doing ourselves down the track. I really enjoy learning about house renovation as we are renovating our home and learning and researching techniques as we go and am so happy with the changes we have made so far. I am gonna be binge watching more of your videos :)

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Jemgirl, enjoy the binge!

[@josegomez6549]

Very good. I wish you would go over stuff more, but it's great as is. I wasn't expecting the roasting on the "electrician". You did not hold back except on the cursing lol. Are those boys on the crew your kids? And also, good on you for being light on them but also you gotta push them more

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Those boys did great work, I am not easy to work for off camera.

[@jamesdrenth6497]

I was hoping to see the rest of the remodel.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

simply search for the kitchen remodel video on the home page. Cheers!

[@jflory88]

Excellent video. Hope to see the rebuild process as well!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

the nest few weeks is dedicated to the basement bath and kitchen in this project. Keep commenting and let us know what you like and don't like about them.

[@seaflower1520]

Found it informative on disabling cabinets, walls, and plumbing. Could have used more information on appliances removal like electric vs gas stove and any other tips and tricks to it safely. Could you show how to set up the air vacuum seal? New to this dust free concept. I have never seen it done and how it works. You said it takes half hour to set up please show how to set it up, use it, and take it down? Learning a lot. Some day I want buy and renovate my fixer home. Also like to know what tools are best to own ( new vs used) and which ones are better to rent? Also good to know model and brand and cost too? Thank you.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

we have a dust free video that explains the system. Cheers!

[@seaflower1520]

Could you give me a link to this dust video? Thank you.

[@quadruplelatte]

Did you test drywall joint compound for asbestos? My house was built in 1970 and has 2% Chrysotile in joint compound. From asking around, seems like the vast majority of people wouldn’t even question it/test for it and would assume nothing like that was there.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

NO! I am not concerned with the presence of 2% of the not harmful type. You are being a little too careful !

[@Mercenary0075]

I'm waiting for results from a sample in our original bathroom from 1968 prior to tear down. Rather be on the safe side with two little ones in the house. I will be using negative air pressure with a hepa filter, a respirator and sealing off the rest of the house regardless of asbestos or not but its peace of mind knowing if its present or not.

The gamer all codes we still use were obviously in effect when this was remodeled. It's okay to point out stupid! There are a lot of "professional" remodelers out there that don't know much, but will fake it til they make it; problem is that if they do a halfassed job, they are essentially stealing the clients money.

[@vacuumcleaner11]

Great video but why aren't you wearing safety glasses, especially at 23:00? I pull a lot of metal out of patients eyes because no safety glasses were worn.

[@msbask]

In a demolition like this, do you (or the homeowners) ever donate the cabinetry or appliances to someplace like Habitat for Humanity? Even if the cabinets are past their shelf life, those knobs and hinges look pretty ok.

[@beeonthyme5760]

I love your videos. I do have a favor to ask. When describing something that someone has done poorly, as in the exhaust fan, please could you use another word to describe stupid than saying retarded. I use to use that word too, until a friend of mine with a mentally challenged child asked me not to use it, as it was disparaging to children and adults with disabilities. Thank you. To be honest, someone had to point it out to me too. P.S. look it up on Google it's kind of documented. I kind of changed to bugs bunny's description "what a maroon".

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

sorry, at the risk of offending you I am not going to change my language. Just for clarity you risk offending people even asking !

[@jenniferbarclay8058]

Gearing up for a kitchen update/re-do. Glad to see your uninstall. Let's me know what I could find when we begin removing appliances, cabinets, and ceiling. I, too, wondered why you aren't wearing safety glasses!

[@peppino9255]

You didn’t show how to setup negative air. I was really interested in that tip.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

did you nsee the fans with the plastic ductwork! that is negative air. All that is left to do is close windows and use plastic sheets to separate work from living area. I apologize if we didn't explain that well enough in the video. I will do that again on another project.

[@ericheacock]

Still not clear. I understand the fan and plastic at the front door I assume. But where is kitchen in relation to the front door? Did you draw the air through the whole ground floor to the front? Were you able to isolate the kitchen and vent directly outside?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

We have dug up the original negative air video and will release it on Sunday morning later this week.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Peppino92, we have the negative air video out. released last week . Did you find that helpful?

[@peppino9255]

yes it did. thank you so much!

[@viralvideos6532]

That wire just being in the Cold Air Return is more Dangerous than the staples you were talking about. Effectively if there were an animal or something down the road that caused the wire to get hot, and if it got hot enough to start a fire, the return would feed that fire Air. I know it is against my Local Electrical code.

[@NadivahRox]

I got major Kool-Aid man vibe when they burst through that 'used to be' door. "Oh yeeeah!" LMAO Why is this video so much fun??

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That young man does kind of look like him a bit! with that big grin!

[@martinebangs6520]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I always wonder when I watch demo's on tv why they make such a mess for themselves. I took off my hood vent this fall and what a mess, the wires were wrapped with duct tape, the ground wasn't connected. You would chuckle if you saw the plumbing in my kitchen. I bought this house from a contractor believe it or not, lots of hidden treasures.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

It pains me to say it but some times trades cut the biggest corners at their own homes. Thanks for watching and for the kind words.

[@andrewcarr2431]

As for TV, people forget it is "entertainment". While I would love to watch a guy with a tool belt all day, it is not very exciting to the other 90% of viewers....I remember in my parents house, when father renovated he found the wall sconces taped with scotch tape (not even electrical or even duct tape!) And the light fitting almost fell on my head one day from the ceiling, missed my by inches, talk about a brown trouser moment! While I am an enthusiastic amateur and semi skilled DIY'er, I do like to read up as much as I can before I attempt anything. My father worked for a construction company for many years and was very handy, that helped growing up...

[@Alexanderbuilds2001]

Totally relatable I just got a house that was pre owned by a contractor and it was the sloppiest work u had ever scene Nothing was up to code or inspected Literally it looked liked a child remodeled the house No in fact my 5 year old son could do a better job I am honestly surprised the house didn’t burn down or fall down

[@sjr7822]

I don't know how I got here but I hope this is a series to the bitter end of the remodeling job. Speaking of the staples holding the electric wiring, I have that in the cellar and I wonder if the whole place is done in the same way, there is no way I am tearing down walls

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Hi , Glad you like our vids. Cheers!

[@shawn595]

Thanks fo the video! I recently bought a house with a bunch of nasty old cabinets in the garage. I used your tips to break those things down quickly and neatly. Having an idea of what to do ahead of time sped up the project considerably.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Shawn, we appreciate the comment.

[@christopherleonge1833]

can someone explain the pressure in the beginning? What do you need to do to keep dust levels down? Do you just need to force air out of the house to get this negative pressure?

[@JjrShabadoo]

Please follow up with the rest of the kitchen buildout!

[@smasica]

I laugh every time I see a home improvement show (Property Brothers, etc.) featuring the home owner helping with the 'demo'. They're swinging a 12lb. sledge at cabinet doors, counter tops, walls, and ceramic tile creating a huge, dirty pile of rubble. I know it's done to add 'drama' to the shows, but it's idiotic and misleading. All it does is create a false impression and doubles the work. As you said, uninstall, not smash. It's faster, cleaner and safer.

Great demolition demonstration. Jeff, you and you're guys aren't wearing any Safety Glasses or Boots. A lot of potential screws and nails to stand on, plus you only get one set eyes, I wouldn't chance one of your crew getting injured for a couple of dollars.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

we do wear safety glasses at some points during the demo. I want to emphasis this point. constantly being in heavy boots destroys your knees. That is a guaranteed injury only an expensive and painful operation can repair. I have stepped on 2 nails in my life and none of them caused me a day off work. Always wearing safety glasses destroys your eyesight for life. I will only wear them when I feel it is appropriate.
