10:00 You're 100% right, I don't trust flippers to do things "right" either. Vinyl replacement windows, fresh paint, carpet, the cheapest laminate floors everywhere, etc. The house was $250K when they bought it 6 months prior, now listed for $450K. Meanwhile if you keep your eyes open you'll see nothing structural was done anywhere and that the vinyl windows were installed into rotting wood with original siding etc.

I think given your love for these style houses, you're essentially trying to revive something which you don't want to see dead. To anyone else, this might be a tear down, but we all have favourite old architectural styles that we would want to breathe life into, if blessed with the chance.

I grew up in Florida where my parents renovated a couple of 1920s houses that were severely termite damaged. Your house isn't as bad as those were and they were able to restore their houses into decent livable homes. You're in for a boatload of hard work and cash outlay but your house is still salvageable. Good luck!

Here is a crazy story. My great-grandpa was an architect in Detroit in the 1920s and worked for C. Howard Crane. He worked on the Fox Theater. He designed a home for his family in Royal Oak but was accidently shot (while golfing) in Pontiac by a teenager who was hunting nearby and never got to live in the house. My great-grandma moved into the house with their three kids (including my grandpa) right after he died. Anyways, I am loving this series and can't wait to see it when it is complete. Oh, and I live in Wayne County just outside Detroit and had a job interview in the Guardian building once. My jaw dropped when I went inside. I enjoy learning about architecture history and walking by all the historic houses in my town. 😊

Location is key on price. When I watched professional flippers essentially gut homes, I thought it was such a waste. Until I DIY'd a old renovation. I now understand why they just gut them back to the studs. After a lot of wasted time and money I ultimately had to go back to the studs. It also made upgrading the wiring and plumbing so much easier. Also it was a valuable lesson to me. Back in the "good old days" they didn't necessarily build everything well.

Agree with this 100%. There's a reason we don't build like they used to- new materials, new techniques, etc. Definitely cut away as much as you can- you might have some old knob and tube wiring squirreled away somewhere you're not suspecting. Last thing you'd want to do is sink a bunch of money into the house only to see it, literally, go up in flames. Similarly, it seems like there's a fair bit of moisture penetration; I'd remove all the plaster and replace with moisture resistant gypsum board. Put another way- I don't think it's "worth it" to keep any of the old plaster- I'd go to the studs if you have the bandwidth + budget.

Seeing how there is so much potential for future termite damage (and perhaps other damage that is yet to reveal itself), doing some moisture control (like you mentioned in previous videos) and installing steel beams in the basement, as well as using steel framing in some other structure areas may be the best bet to reinforce a building of this age! We did that in several areas along with a few concrete pours and loved it, it also makes for a very solid floor with zero creaks and deflection!

It spent the past 30 years as a frat house and then vacant--don't let the bad discoveries or outside negativity get you discouraged. People can't put a price tag on your time and the reward you get out of putting in the work on something you love. Definitely put aside and keep any of the baseboard and those 5 and 6 panel doors and Door Jambs that you take off when removing walls. Trust me. Keep up the good work!

Love the plan. Especially the skylights. The arch… I see charm in keeping something original but does it go with your artistic vision. That beam is one good strong wind away from a failure. Happy you found that. The bathroom needs to be gutted anyway. It’s a combo of 1950s tile and 1970s fixtures. That 1970s cabinet on the wall, should be sent to the subscriber who thought you should keep it. I wonder when they did that wallpaper? I’d guess the 1940s. It’s rather old lady. Ok, I’m an old lady and that even older lady than me. Your exhibition is wonderful.

Many of the older homes built in the late 1800s to early 1900s used to have vestibules but currently in many of those homes those vestibules have been removed. Often the second inner door is gone. I love vestibules and i think they serve a great purpose to keep cold air out of a home when someone enters a home. But i also like more distinct rooms. My 1932 home in Baltimore has 3 distinct rooms on the main floor even though the kitchen is new.

Yikes, that rotted beam is scary. Agree with you about getting the weight off of that upper floor. I'd vote yes to the exposed brick along the stairs (and anywhere else the brick is in good enough shape to be exposed,) and hope that you can re-use those wooden doors somewhere else in the house. Maybe closets in the new extension? I'd vote no to the arch, since you are taking down that wall with the smaller one. Some of the wallpaper might be fun to have inside a cupboard, just so you can show people the history of the home.

I almost never comment on videos, but I feel like I have to. The first video in this series randomly showed up in my recommended a few weeks ago when it was uploaded. Since then, I have been hooked. This is honestly the coolest channel I have come across on KZbin in a super long time. It's also awesome to hear about your work. This is all just to say, keep it up! Looking forward to following the progress on your adventure with this house!

I hope you can keep the tilde arch. Or an echo of it elsewhere. It's very much my favorite part of the house. And the hidden wallpaper is also so pretty and delicate. You mentioned having a light well with the staircase and showed a square opening in the mockup, that might be a good place for the echos of the aestetic history of the building.

Here's a build I've always wanted: install a fireman's pole going from the basement to the top floor. Have a 4ft pipe go over the pole and weld a handle at its top and a step, large enough to rest one of your feet on, at its bottom. Now add two buttons next to the handle that when held shoots this mini elevator up or down. You'll have so much fun zooming between floors!
