I can only imagine how much the debris removal cost them. They had to fill up a bin or two ... or three or four. That house looked like it belonged to a hoarder. Which probably was a good thing in the long run. Kept the vandalism over the years to a minimum. Nobody wanted to go into a house full of debris.

As i'm watching this i'm really impressed with some of the craftsman ship I see. However I cannot believe that there Has been permits pulled and inspection done for the plumbing and the electric and the insulation.

Bought my house for $81,000. Done absolutely nothing to it in 15 years except minor stuff. Now it appraises for $200,000+. I just got lucky and picked a house in the right area where the home values were taking flight.

Was the 50K include materials or just labor?

[@KathyG1960]

That was an amazing transformation! Must have been expensive to complete! All those windows, floors, walls, and the trash in the basement and backyard the removal fees to dispose of all that must have been astronomical! Great job! Anyone would be thrilled to live in the new space!

[@superdave8248]

I have to agree. The only way this project was even viable is that the house was sold for so cheap. Fortunately, there were no major issues with the foundation, roof, plumbing, or even HVAC. All of which would have added huge additional expenses to the project. Did they make a profit? I'm sure they did. But this also came with a huge risk.

[@charlottebarnes6761]

But he bought it for 5000 dollars he can afford to put a lot of money and besides selling for double

[@superdave8248]

@@charlottebarnes6761 What he did was buy a lot for $5k that happened to have a building on it. Which I'm sure was initially condemned by the city. So they put no value on it. And if it was a small lot to begin with, $5k was probably a fair value of the land.

I used to own a cleaning business. We did lots of post-reno/pre-sale cleanings, including pressure washing basements. A finished basement was tricky, but if it was concrete block and floor, it was easy. The homeowners were always amazed at how much that one thing improved the look of their basement. Now if I could only pressure wash my own basement ... lol ...

Wow, loved watching this. So glad they didn't rip all the walls down, brought them to the studs and then new drywall. I personally hate open concept. (We also know who started that mess on HGTV). Of course they just had to have white cabinets in the kitchen. Notice that old-fashioned stove in the basement at around 4:35 minutes? That will be worth something. Would love to have a restored version of that.

Overall, a great job. Amazing result. The only thing I'm wondering about is why they didn't use greenboard and a moisture barrier in the tub surround.

[@davek5777]

they used cement board.. a much, much better material versus greenboard.

[@LPnerd]

@@davek5777 and why not go with environmentally friendly insulation like spray foam? Much better for health of habitants and so cost effective, plus a great moisture barrier on outside walls and attic.

[@davek5777]

@@LPnerd thats a "new method". Back in the day when i used to do bathroom remodels, it was common to replace the greenboard (which was originally used) with cement board. Green board is only water "resistant" due to a waxy layer applied on the board in manufacturing it. This would eventually fail esp if used in shower locations depending on the mud and grout job of the tile placed on top of the board. "Greenboard" back then was simply drywall gypsum boards with the waxy layer. And, i agree - the newer methods (foam boards) are a better in either case

[@LPnerd]

@@davek5777 Thanks. I have a bathroom remodel due in my home and like to know what's new and better before I hire someone for the job.!

[@davek5777]

@@LPnerd Make sure you hire a licensed/registered and insured contractor to do the job. TBH, cement board or even "Hardi board", i would say is a tried and true way to do a tub or shower surround. Before contractors even started using greenboard (which simply is just drywall board) in bathrooms, the old-timers would nail wire mesh to the studs and then actually Trowel on cement to the mesh to about 3/8-3/4" thick. Then, they'd apply tile to that surface once dry. They even did this on the "non-wet" locations in the bathroom. This way was done until the 1970-1980s. And, it was solid. So, cement board imitates this method. I've never been a fan of Pex (plastic water lines) or spray foam (highly flammable). Copper pipes and cement board are two variations that have survived the test of time.

Even as we pass through the cleaned, disinfected and thoroughly renovated house, I sense that their ghosts may linger.
