Within two days his arm was so swollen he couldn’t bend his arm. He ended up in the hospital for two weeks and then another week of going in daily for more intravenous antibiotics. He had such a bad infection he almost lost his arm from the elbow down. It was bad. No matter how small the wound, always take the two minutes to clean it out and bandage it up. You don’t need to run the risk of a very nasty infection. Especially with the amount of insects and animals that were calling that place home, not to mention whatever bacteria grows in the damp and dark.

I‘ve done a lot of building and projects with my dad and it‘s so incredibly nice to see you never getting yelled at, my dad would make a mistake and then yell at me for it, and he is a really shitty builder, his motto is „use the screws I have in my pocket even if they are all different and when those run out use some nails until it won‘t move anymore… I‘m glad my brother doesn‘t yell when we work on something together but he only does car and metal stuff, so I rather work on my own than to go to my dad

7:00 All these little issues you've found with the construction and the ways they cut corners or didn't do things right-this house has still stood the test of time. Despite poor maintenance, it's still standing. If it were properly maintained, this house, with all its imperfections, would still be standing strong 50 years from now.

Unless The Big One happens. We're due a 9.0 earthquake, could happen any time (or in 100 years)

Found you for the crochet/knitting/sewing content, highly invested in the house renovation content 😂 ❤

[@DaughterNature17]

Nick at 6:30 is me watching all your home reno videos 😂 the only thing to do is laugh during a project this crazy!

It’s so funny hearing a little tejano tune every once and a while

A shim is a thing wedged, shoved, or otherwise introduced into a space to make something that is too small or too loose stay in place.

I mean your channel is the biggest discover of this year for me, the level of humor and dedication - ooooh my god!

Guys, that four piece box section header IS stronger than a single large square board. Each side of each board is in stress or tension, meaning you have 8 times the area carrying load over a four sided square board. Hollow metal tubing in any shape is stronger than solid for the same reasons. I apologize for not explaining the engineering better or the actual math equation as sadly I only play engineer in my day job and I suck at algebra! But I do know the basics of structural building concepts and materials and trust me, the box section is what you want.

Im so proud of you both not breaking any windows. I dont want to jinx it but it has to be said, its an accomplishment

[@CMacks3y]

For the other half, it might be easier if you use a block and tackle to set those beams down so you dont risk yeeting the beam through the floorboards or a window. Really cool to watch this work on a MCM!

It’s so wild seeing the fireplace and just empty structure around it - I feel like it was just yesterday you were showing us around, clearing the rooms of stuff and peeling back carpets! Now look at you! 👏 (I’m so invested lol) 😂❤

It gives me SUCH satisfaction to watch your process. What an incredible place you will have by the end! We just finished building a house with a builder (I designed it alongside our engineer) and didn't have any of the skills to do it ourselves. It's always been a secret dream to do something like you are now. I appreciate the humor, patience and determination with which you face this enormous challenge. Thanks for sharing folks! Wish I lived in your area to come sit by the pool and toast to your success when you're all done! Wishing you all the best...I'll be tuning in!
