How To Protect Your House When Renovating

[@welshman100]

5:29, doing that hammer flip over the varnished floor. - Cue Heisenburg: "You're god damn right"

[@intravena]

Was just going to type this. As an owner this makes me cringe.

[@wonkeyleggs]

The boys have skills, chill chill

[@DIUA-vb6gi]

Thought the same thing! Got to know how to handle the tools!

[@fredbradley7508]

So funny, I saw it too and flinched, but I catch myself doing stupid stuff after I just took precautions.....like setting hammers down on tile.....”just dumb” I tell myself!

[@brumby92]

Carpets going back over. Owner would never know ;). Shame about that. Floor looks lovely. doesn't even need a sand.

[@kmonnier]

Spin transition was awesome!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

😂 thanks

[@davidm3225]

Confident hammer toss, Paerau! That shiny wooden floor was never in any danger :-)

[@TooLazyToFail]

"Now we can create some carnage!" *cuts to gentle sweeping*

[@bensalisbury6839]

Love the planing that's gone into this! Organisation on site is key to a good site! Keep up the good work buddy 👍

[@getberget]

This will be the best series I will watch this summer. Thank you for making videos.

[@TheDoveking]

Having those beautiful wooden floors cover with carpet feels criminal. I'm from Edinburgh and we have lovely old wooden floors in a lot of the buildings and 1/2 of them don't look as lovely as that. But that's just my view, and it's great to see that they are still protecting them with the carpet. Hello for Edinburgh!

[@myopinion69420]

The last place we lived in was done almost exactly opposite to this place for some reason. Bedrooms where timber and hallway/lounge was carpet. seemed very backwards. Did not like the timber floor in the bedrooms. We are not fortunate enough to have exposed timber floor quality timber in our new house. we will be keeping carpet in the bedrooms but are looking at a good quality vinyl plank for lounge/kitchen/bathroom/hall/dining as its water proof and not quite as hard/cold as a timber floor. Never been a fan of 'floating' flooring, it always looks good when its put in, but never seems to last that long, I guess its just never installed correctly and to top it off, there is not much material to sand back and re-finish.

[@andrewcarr2431]

as a Brit expat now in Canada I agree. Some wonderful workmanship in older homes that if can be restored adds a lot of character to a home. And if the new or current owner ever gets tired you can cover them up in a weekend.

[@andrewcarr2431]

@@myopinion69420 vinyl plank is also a "Floating floor" albeit a more modern and tight fitting one. The Public works guys I know use it a lot in their social housing refits. Easy to maintain and clean by the tenants.

[@myopinion69420]

​ @Andrew Carr the ones I'm talking about get glued down kind of like carpet tiles. not the ones that are 'clip lock' style. but yes, it is technically 'floating' as it is glued to a backing that is generally nailed to the floor. One of the reasons we are going that route is we have kids and flooring is something I never really want to have to worry about, if you get the right vinyl, it can be very hard wearing. If I wen't any type of polished floor boards I would be constantly paranoid about scratches.

Watching you boys work is meditation.

[@Hedriks]

I love the existing wallpaper and drapes in that house.

[@brumby92]

Nooo.. That's a lovely floor. Quick sand and your choice of Oil. I started my Reno by ripping up 50 year old Vinyl and found lovely timber underneath. 2 days sanding and Three coats of tung oil and she looks mint :)

[@lobyapatty]

Love the style and music of your videos. Don't change anything.

[@hartleymartin]

Mate of mine bought an old place earlier this year. He asked me if he should cover the old timber floor in laminate. I told him it looked to be 60-something year old Kauri Pine and some people pay big money to have that put in! It is a lovely floor, no big gaps, solid as the day it was built, probably better than most new floors. He did a DIY job to sand and re-finish it with a couple of mates. Finish is a bit uneven, but pretty darned good for a DIY job. I told him how much we paid to put solid spotted gum floors into the upstairs of my family's home.

[@keithronson2624]

Best channel on You Tube! Brilliant! Inspiring! NZ life is the best. [from someone in the UK!] Renovations are so interesting. Thank you Scott. 10/10.

[@mastermetalshredder]

Pro tip- when using 'builder board' for a demo phase, tape all edges and overlaps. If they aren't taped you will get tiny bits of stuff under there and you won't know it's there till you take it off and the floor is scratched up.. Also saving a piece of carpet as a floor mat for the entry is good, esp in the winter as moisture kills that stuff! Most of us probably know this stuff but it's def worth thinking about..

[@sterlinghearth3651]

Glad to see this comment. I was coming to write the same. Tape all the outer edges with blue or green masking tape. And the joints of the paper are best taped with something like RamBoard tape. It’s like a super duty paper packing tape that works the best for the joints. That white masking will peel up after some traffic and dust (or it does for me.)

[@andrewcarr2431]

in North America it is called "RAM Board" and is the same stuff. Pretty good product i've found and use it alot. Ditto with the floors, found some lovely ones over the years during reno's. Some are coming back in fashion for easy maintenance or being replaced by vinyl plank flooring which adds some cushion features. Nice touch with the site/plans table. And another tip i've learned is to build some temporary shelving to throw all your gear and materials on if it is a long job. We are a property investment guys so after the inital demo we take a (bed) room and use it as our tool garage/workshop, etc.

[@smamurai]

The flooring under those carpets looks mint

[@jeffkerr7038]

The two of you could be playing a game of checkers and chatting and I would still watch and have a good time. Really like the personality that comes through in your videos.

[@TheBeowulf55]

Yes! Been waiting for a long build series good to see you & Paeru working

[@ZombieWarningStation]

most important part of any reno Great video man!

[@Mmgt95]

Hey Scott, with the zip walls I usually only put 1 zipper on and if you can get the foam rails they seal to ceiling and floors a lot better! Also watch that carpet protection film!!! It likely says in the tds that it should only be left down for 30days, from experience it’s best to change it every 30days otherwise when you pull it up at the end of the job the carpet will be extremely sticky from the adhesive sticking to it.

[@noskills9577]

😀 hammer flip over the wooden floor made me smile

[@theeuglyduckling9476]

What a gorgeous house!

[@TheJohnno25]

That plan table is a work of art with the Birch ply.

[@SimonStJohn]

This is not just another exciting episode....it’s an incredibly exciting project!

[@pbowkett]

I love it Scott. Your winter, raining and all that is just like summer back here in the UK.

[@MrKneetoface1]

Your box of tape made me happy. I love organisers.

[@drooten]

Reminds me of how ‘This Old House’ started. Enjoyed watching your work.

[@bh2347]

Been a big fan for a long time. I watch all your videos whenever I can. Cheers, from a commercial construction contractor in the U.S!

[@larry097]

That spin transition was seamless! 🤜

[@primularossa8976]

Scott you are truly exceptional! A perfect job! I would be happy to entrust you with my new home for a complete restoration! Too bad the great distance that separates us! Anyway ...... Never say never!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Cheers for your support 👍

[@legby]

The spin transition was sick.

[@brumby92]

Impressive camerawork and editing. Groovy song and the music positioning and volume is just right.

[@gordonclark7632]

That exposed timber floor is beautiful.

[@rchavez5056]

I'm not sure what it is about these videos but the music along with the work makes me want to move to New Zealand and work for Scott Brown.

[@katrinabell7684]

You protect the floors well. I look forward to the alterations!😎

[@Aepek]

Nice prep work👍🏻👍🏻 Can’t wait to see the surprises though😉 ✌🏼

[@DJbinks]

Loving the b-rolls and transitions. I feel I’m watching film transition videos and suddenly they are popping up on your editing. Great work bro. And also great work on the prep. Looking forward to further episodes.

Paerau's hammer flip flex 😂 really looking forward to following this one Scott.

[@mohammedalzaabi7496]

I finally caught up to all your episodes, all 227 episodes downed in one week. So... When's the next episode coming out 😆 Fantastic work, I learned a lot from watching your videos and now I'm going to carpentry classes, so I could eventually make custom furniture for my whole family, all thanks to you Scott. ♥️

[@charlestonhartley7806]

This is the earliest I’ve ever been

Keep these vids rolling in Scotty.

[@rpproductions31013]

Instead of the most interesting man in the world......You are the most interesting carpenter in the world 🌎..... I am very neat and organized person when doing a job like that one , but I could not carry your lunch....you are that good. You do some amazing prep work that I have learned several new tricks from. Maybe consider making a 2 hour video, it’s always sad when the video ends..

[@Tijnas617]

Came down to comment on Paerau's cheeky hammer flip over that shiny floor @5:29 and realised everyone else noticed too :D

Love your videos Scott keep up the good work your are doing a wonderful job keep them coming

Cheers John 👍

[@AvocadoToast_________________1]

That hammer flip though

[@seandonaldson3662]

A couple of questions regarding your portable workbench, I’m thinking of making one so I’m always excited to see it pop up in videos, it seems it be getting a lot of use, are you still using the ‘prototype’ using the cheap plywood you made in ep 202? If so how is it holding up considering you made it out of 12 mm plywood? Is there any need to go to a thicker plywood or would that just make it heavy and not as useful?

[@khalidalenezi7760]

Keep up the good work and can’t wait tell the next episode 👍🏻

[@ArtistfkaLuis]

Professional !

[@jcerecke]

I just pulled open one of my walls, found a cut brace, more gib patches than sheet, and stuffed full of newspaper from 1982.

[@TeToruFarms]

Good year back then

Carpet wouldn’t be going back down if that was my house.

[@cbbgeflt]

you would have one winter on it and go "bugger this i want some carpet!" lol

[@harrysingh-tj5pu]

@@cbbgeflt put some rugs down, wear socks, wear slippers.

[@Tom-hl7wc]

cbbgeflt I don’t know about that mate. I live in the mountains of Snowdonia so can take a bit of cold. I think the aesthetic is very nice. It’s a little bit orange for me but I couldn’t cover it. It probably came from primary forest back in the day.

[@lichansan1750]

I would probably put down 3 layers of carpet. but I am used to modern style German houses

I wish that carpeting was laid with as much foresight here in the states. We use adhesives directly to the floor and it's not as simple to go back to hardwood 😂

Can't wait for the next episode!

[@asztapaszta9]

I'm tuned!

[@ozziestrom9793]

Most times on your videos it's raining. Does the sun ever shine? Here in the South of the US, it's HOT sticky, sweaty, stinky 95- 100+ deg. With people staying home because of the Covid-19 thing going on, we can't work inside, just outside jobs where allowed. We've been very careful and picky about what jobs we take on. People are willing to wait. I enjoy all your videos.

[@Wairoakid]

Actually Auckland- where he is- has been having a drought so bad the dams that store the city water are very low. But yes I have noticed he always seems to be filming in the rain. With no community transmission, at present, in New Zealand work continues as it did before Covid- inside and outside in fact renovations seem to have picked up since we got out of lockdown. Many speculate that all that time in lockdown meant people had time to consider renovations and as long as they still have an income started. All the cases we have are 23 people in the isolation/quarantine facilities. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

[@SweSuf]

Removing a fire place makes my heart cringe... We certainly had very good use of ours in a 48h power outage in winter! (Perhaps not an issue in NZ; and b.t.w. I miss the Land of the Long White Cloud, which I visited twice 30y ago!)

[@bopexplorer3663]

Nice to be on a job for a decemt length of time for a change aye. Is that plastic room divider a '3rd hand' product ? Been trying to find something like that for ages. Great for keeping areas dust free .

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Look up 'zip wall', I bought a kit which included poles and plastic, the zip was extra.

[@arjuna207]

since you have so much info and interesting content, i would consider either adding hashtags or just tags, like tools, dust, protect, powertools etc. i watch each of your videos when it comes out, but now i find myself searching for that one video where i think i saw you use a telescopic drywall arm to mount a plastic sheet for dust protection, and i can't find it :))
