That house will probably be worth a small fortune once renovations are done. A great long term investment.

We sure hope so! Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

We just purchased a lake home in Wisconsin with almost same floor plan (1973) and same wallpaper. I’m guessing the same builder. Thanks for sharing your progress.

6:52 - use the < > keys to advance / reverse one frame at a time... a shadow the size of a small cat moves across the tile floor at the edge of the hallway...

Thanks for Sharing! I used to Live next to a Lake Near Ely, Minnesota a Few Years Back, Great Experience, Beautiful Country! 👍😃

[@WorkinfortheWild]

Thanks for watching! Ely (and far northern MN in general) is one of the most beautiful places! We’re farther south but still feel lucky to have a little spot on a lake

If you are going to patch the damage to the walls... if drywall is damaged to the brown paper or deeper - you need to use a sealer on those areas - 3 to 4 coats before you patch or paint... or those areas will bubble once paint is applied.

Nice spot y’all…. However, I do miss your RV’n videos. Can you tell I’m from the south! Lol. Good thing you have that basement apartment so you have a place to stay while renovating the upstairs. I just renovated 8 properties in 4 years so my suggestion would be to gut the upstairs to the studs. I promise you’ll be happy you started with a clean slate! It makes the whole process (wall configurations, better insulation, wiring, plumbing changes, etc) much easier. Good luck and happy holidays!!

I actually found your channel as I was searching for half Dome hiking videos... It seems like you guys have a lot of interesting content, and as such, you have earned a new subscriber!! Happy 2024 to you both🎉

[@WorkinfortheWild]

Thank you so much! Love hearing that. Thanks for being here!

[@getreal2958]

Definitely put more windows looking out to the lake

[@TheCarefreeCamperthd8z]

It amazing!! Congrats 🎉

[@CarloCerra]

Love the house. Tons of potential! Cant wait to see the renovations

[@mayokimmer]

Love the potential of your new home! I know you will do wonders with it, and I can't wait. Lovely to have the lake, such a huge plus.

[@WorkinfortheWild]

Thanks so much!

[@edwardtodd6160]

Most people just see a lot of work, which it will be, but waterfront property will always be in demand and after you guys get done with it, it'll make a nice home base when you guys start getting back into the RV scene. Really looking forward to what you guys will do with your new house!!

[@WorkinfortheWild]

Thanks so much! I felt if we were going to invest in property in the current market, it needed to be on water. I didn’t mention this in the video but we’re hoping to have a designated RV spot in the driveway!

[@Tennessee2012]

Put stairs in

[@lori416]

What a beautiful choice in both house and location! Looking forward to watching you transform it to your style. Great ideas. (Loving that shirt btw!)

[@WorkinfortheWild]

Thank you so much! We feel like we can turn it into something pretty great

[@bergsteiger9152]

Love it, so much potential (and work). Do you need flood insurance cuz of the lake?

[@WorkinfortheWild]

Thank you! Yes, definitely a lot of work! No, we don’t need flood insurance actually. There’s almost no risk of the lake rising to a level that would ever come close to the house.

Subscribed because of the trailer renovation and the RV traveling. That is gone now. Wish you all the best. Bye.

[@WorkinfortheWild]

Hope you find your way back for the next RV renovation!

[@MrSTOUT73]

Probably will. :)@@WorkinfortheWild
