I Bought The Midwest Hugh Hefner's House With MY NEW SHOP!

[@richardfarmer6570]

It is going to be nice to see you back in a proper shop with lifts, tools and proper HVAC. Shop + house should make for some interesting content.

[@Mr_Texas19]

We need some Tech Throwback videos with all the stuff found in the house

[@organiccold]

Oh yeah

[@danlargent3806]

Please

[@SouLShAkER---]

Agree!!

[@GAMINGOBRIEN69]

YES

[@Slyder42]

Excellent Idea!

[@jc13781]

I laughed way harder than I should have at the kid falling on his face trying to use the ab roller and John saying “alllllllmost had it”

[@ardillasecreta]

Not going to lie...came here for this comment

[@jakeriff95]

Dude for sure keep the CRT for your retro games -- people are paying good money for those big ones now that they're starting to become popular in that community

[@msschill]

I would love to hear the process of leaving the old shop/warehouse, storing everything, looking and bidding on properties, then winning this one at auction. Congrats JR!

[@KeithZim]

Good subject for a late evening impromptu live stream.

[@johncarella1836]

Look at that Smile!!!! Congratulations bud!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!

[@100PercentJake]

WatchJR... Renovate the entire Midwest? I'm here for it.

[@reggeckmann3993]

That's premium content there!

[@mikemartin2423]

💯

[@jaydubya9496]

After the abandoned mini resort, I’m stoked for this next rennovation series

[@chrislambert2889]

Congratulations on the house

[@stevndnvr]

Love this place, JohnRoss. I can't wait to see how you transform the shop and the house. That Technics organ is Tech Throwback gold!

[@smallfarmliving3362]

Suggestion from my own experience,, make room for a common closet for the vacuum, broom and supplies. We bought a decent sized home that had a coat closet, but not enough room for cleaning stuff. So annoying! Very cool place, can't wait to see what you do with it!!

[@gregdiamond6023]

Congrats JR. The place has a lot of potential.

[@esiebert7625]

Congrats, I started watching when you built your last shop, I really miss the content from that shop and was sad when you sold it. Really look forward to this new shop content, now who can build the best shop Hoovie or JR 😎. I have 2 of those workmates in my garage, they still sell them and I just use it as a portable tool stand.

[@kerrylewis2581]

This is the renovation we have all been waiting for. Congratulations.

[@iDom_0203]

Awesome Garage + Awesome Shop = Endless Possibilities!

[@willoverkill8461]

Knockdown stucco ceiling is awesome painted with a satin or semi-gloss, the flat spots shine and leaves a matte look in the divots, gives lots of texture. Congrats on the new house.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Scott's Gym & Electric Workout Jams mixtape... so many possibilites 😏

[@SandyG3TX]

Very nice JR. You've worked hard for it. Congrats .

[@hobgoblin4614]

Awesome to see you doing so well and diversifying (content and business) with the Mini Resort. Congrats on new shop. Still remember watching you get fired from the IT job. You are living them dream - telling the MAN to go pound sand and being successful on your own!

[@br549rdr]

Love seeing Eric warming up around the camera. You can tell he’s a great guy just been waiting for him to open up on camera.

[@douglasbray3563]

Congratulations on the new house and shop. You have a couple of years worth of New content getting it the way you want it

[@bkdv]

I honestly have no idea how this guy doesn't have 1M subs yet. Congrats dude! You're killing it

[@yardsausage]

heck yes..i feel another BIGGER renovation series coming...i cant wait, this will be awesome !!.

[@cward1890]

What I love about JR is he can fix cars, reno houses, rehab commercial properties! He was wasting away at his old IT job he really seems happy in his new direction

[@MrMattDat]

So psyched just to hear you have a new shop!! It will be nice to see what you do renovating this place!!

[@YTAlnyc]

Congratulations!! This looks like a good starting point. It will be fun watching you convert this into a livable home and great workshop.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

You have serious vision. I looked through that place on sale day and had no idea where to start. I wish I'd shot auction footage, the guy had a killer Cadillac collection (Shameless plug, hit me up for '67 Eldorado parts) 😆

[@Sheepdog70]

That tree was the best thing to ever get rid of. It's a Chinese Elm. We have them here in Utah and they are are a vile weed. They drop little seed pods that can and will grow on cement, rock anything that would kill other plants. Congrats on the new property!

[@chrispy3866]

You won the lottery. This property will provide YEARS of content. BOTH in house rebuild vids, building rebuilds, and car stuff. REVENUE….. I’m VERY excited!!!!

[@rumplestilskin5776]

JR you never cease to amaze us with fabulous new projects. Thank you.

[@ianmcghee3053]

J.R. I remodeled a house that had been smoked in for 40 years. You need to scrub the walls with Zep foaming wall cleaner. Soak until the tar starts running down the walls, then wipe.

[@jetski54]

Congratulations!! Good luck with it!

[@mareyota]

It been a long time coming. I'm subscribed ever since you quit your day job and started doing youtube full time. Great to have seen you grow.

[@nealschurr2113]

Great to see a new opportunity for your own shop and a yard to fill with projects.

[@tedstriker754]

That fuel pump is the high pressure pump for aircraft with fuel injected engines. It's valuable. those go for around $900 to $1300. Weldon is the most plentiful brand. I've got one just like it with the ports both facing forward. They put out about 22 psi. Which is all that's needed for mechanical aircraft fuel injection systems.

[@nikitaoake123]

Love the new house. Love the new shop. Love how all you car guys are connected on KZbin. Keep up the great work.

[@roderickpaliza245]

Congratulations on the new property John Ross! This is going to be good.

[@Masmar84]

garage fridge Makeover show!!!! Kegerator!!! Cool color scheme!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[@irishcommie]

That paste wax in the garage! Worth it!

[@brantleyhudson2892]

Congratulations! That's huge! Super happy for you. Looks like a lot of work, but new house, new shop and lots of new content!

[@robertcarly4186]

Congratulations!! I was actually on the grounds of the Playboy Manson, but I didn't meet Hef, but I met Hef 15 yrs later and have a picture to prove it.

[@stephenellis3430]

Congratulations on the new Shop Property. Looks perfect for your vision. And no Railway making noise.

[@silverstreak1001]

Finally! Good job. Cant wait for the content. Maybe find a local shop guy to come grab all that stuff you don't want. Basically its free but ya got to take all of it.

[@isaacfalvey]

Congratulations! Can't wait to see what you do with this big project.

[@CarswithNash]

Cool place John, can’t wait to see it after all your renovations.

[@jerrylwright9929]

Congratulations on your new place. Can’t wait to see the builds I know they will be epic! Then back to some car builds!

[@jakeriff95]

Some interesting stuff certainly went on in there over the decades.. lol. Congrats -- it's going to be dope with the WatchJRGo renovation team on the job

[@JonBlondell]

That’s a cool old upright grand piano! Keep it! And that synth is wild!!

[@kengibson402]

I’ve been waiting for you to get a house/shop for so long man! Happy for you!

[@jackmead6166]

I think this will be a really good setup for consolidating and making it eventually everything that you're going to need in one location. I also want to say that not knowing anything about the property not knowing anything other than watching your video........... I think you handle the subject matter of who previously owned the house very well and thank you for making a positive video. I do not know if you would even consider this or if it's even plausible but if you redid the workshop, the garage, the kitchen, and master bedroom with bathroom at the same time ......then it might be livable while you redo everything else? Great job and I'm very excited about the future!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@sportsguy28227]

Great house. I’m glad you have a shop again.

[@GrandMoffJoseph]

Congrats on the house! And that old JCPenney TV would be great for the tech throwback channel!

[@mountpearl1]

Congratulations! Place looks awesome.

[@tedll75]

Congrats on the new shop!! This is going to be an amazing build!

[@carsonwashburn1]

This is sweet! Can’t wait to see what this place turns into!

[@toddmoyer225]

Super excited about your new shop.

[@opaulhus]

Awesome really enjoyed the resort videos, nice to have a mix of cars and house/shop renos.

[@mikebelser545]

Looks good! Best of luck with the new property!

[@davids8493]

1:16 Now I see where you got the inspiration for the slim and tall front windows.

[@DwonkaGG]

You ABSOLUTELY need to start a new channel called “WatchJRReno”! Going over the house renovations that you have going on. This would be anything residential/flip/home related. And your main could be anything commercial /warehouse oriented. Take advantage of this platform and monetize on all fronts brotha! Been watching you since 2019 and just saw this video pop up randomly after not having you in my feed for a long time. Almost half a mil subscribers! LETS GO! Get that bag!

[@therealboofighter]

WatchJRFlip.

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

Congratulations John Ross . Score ! Massive potential buddy

[@orionwarren4244]

That 19:56 used to be a 'back bar'. It had glass shelves to display the booze. The actual bar was removed, it probably had an 80s theme, think 'Miami Vice'.

[@TheJonDeezie]

cant wait to see how this pans out! New shop! New house! looks fun as hell!

[@itsnotme07]

Very cool!! Look forward to see how this place gets whipped into shape!! And to see if Eric ever gets paid.... LOL

[@k300zx]

Damn! I'm excited. I'm ready to watch it all!!

[@br549rdr]

This is what WatchJR GO needed!!!!!!!!!!!!! JR and Hoovie with new places.

[@InspiredJJ]

Congratulations! Taillights for a ‘69 Caddy I think.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

15:26 I dont know why but this jump cut absolutely *KILLED ME* HHAHAHAHAA

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Nice place when you get done with it. Congratulations.

[@hurbye]

I’m excited again :). To be honest I really have not been watching the other videos from the resort.. I love your car content and I’m excited to see it coming back!! 😊

[@matthewhegarty729]

Sweet new place. That will make for some awesome content and glad your commute will be much more manageable.

[@stus1171]

So happy for you JR!

[@barryaitchison5565]

dude i watched you do the old shop now this will be a breeze for you and the guys will be great content to watch

[@died4us590]

Scott had me rolling when he said the weight machine was his lol, he's already building muscle in his arm's. You gotta give that thing to him JR, cuz he sure got fired up when he saw that, you can just do a trade for child labor.

[@EricJohnson-lq9zb]

should be called watch Jr renovate. love the home projects . very happy for you!

[@cassian72]

Congrats JR! Eric’s intro just made my day. Way to set the tone!

[@christopherpilkington8375]

With the house being gutted this the perfect opportunity to do things to better seal up your house for better thermal efficiency. 1) get a blower door air exchange test. 2) have your interior and ventilation aero sealed to reduce leaks. 3) have your attic insulation removed and all of the joints and ceiling penetrations sealed, then have new cellulose insulation blown in. 4) install an ERV heat exchanger to manage fresh air exchange while saving energy. These steps will greatly improve both your efficiency and indoor air quality.

[@creatorwatch532]

yea!! we can start watching again😂

[@terrywilkinsonu2231]

Another great series of Watch Eric Work and Jr talk.......!!!!!

[@billymasoner3735]

This is so freaking exciting! Congrats man!

[@thundermind5572]

Congratulations man. Your back and on the attack.

[@AndyZ325is]

You have 2 years of content here. Love the new place. Diamond in the rough! I cant wait to see the transformation!

[@johnds6621]

WOW GREAT! can't wait to see the shop fixed up. Poor Eric he has more work to do now. lol

[@Royboyproductions]

I thought that place looked familiar! I knew the guy that passed that had the property previously. If you are pulling the insulation from the shop I might be interested! Congratulations on the new pad!

[@nirmalrukhra939]

The shop is a great size and look forward to seeing the rehabilitation and renovations.

[@JonBlondell]

Seriously, very Cool. Good luck!!

[@shwabob2002]

I have that old school black and decker workmate bench, it was my grandpa's, it's probably the best most useful and reliable piece of equipment I own.

[@frankwolf389]

Wow! You have a lot of work ahead of you! How about a subscriber work event? You get a ton of us to come and help you clear out the house. Demo in no time. Congratulations, by the way!

[@alexandrecouture2462]

Pretty sure one shouldn't do that in USA. Someone will hurt himself during the process and sue him.

[@mannyd.576]

Nice. Can't wait for transformation videos

[@JackpotsAfterDark]

Gonna be epic and fun to watch the transformation

[@coolissimo69]

Congrats John looking forward to watch more of this content.

[@brianrogers3583]

Add washer and dryer to master bath when you expand it. So nice to wash your clothes and bedding and put it away in the same room. But still put washer and dryer downstairs for rest of house use.

[@RearEngineShop]

Cool place! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

[@steveveneri9189]

i want those old flourescent lights that are in your garage. love vintage lights like that.

[@peterwarner8541]

Very pleased for you, would love that amount of space to play with!

[@craiglange4852]

Congratulations!!! But now.....will the mini resort EVER get finished? 😉😄😄

[@WatchJRGo]

Yes, spending the next 9 days or so wrapping that up 💯

[@mariepennington1632]

Wowed 🎉! Nice job on the basketball hoop… lol lots fun had by all…

[@viktortokic5756]

Sweet house and shop man. It's going to be a blast following your progress.

[@andrewjackson8401]

Love the longer videos keep them coming just like that the longer the better!

[@robsdeviceunknown]

that giant aluminum dill that was hanging. I have one, complete that still works just like it. Was my grandfathers. It will 100% break your wrist if it binds. Also, I'm a reseller. Never underestimate what sells and is valuable. I have sold some of the weirdest things that I said "this is just trash". and it SOLD. So be sure to tripple check before throwing anything away. Even broken items if they have useable parts to take off and sell. And and even though he does not read comments. ANyone wanna bet in 4 months he complaines there isn't enough room in that shop.

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Also, I would never buy a house that close to neighbors, but if i were him, I would put up a 8 or 10 foot privacy fence.
