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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
