Since you are redoing the loft and installing new stairs, I would highly recommend you relocate the stairs to one of the interior areas away from the entryway and open up the constricted pinch point entryway. Instead of one long run of open stairs, consider a half flight to a landing then another half flight of stairs turned back on itself to the second floor. The footprint is much more compact.

@rashkavar5 ай бұрын
This is in Oregon, right? You can definitely just install a heat pump instead of a furnace and air conditioner. You get a massive energy efficiency boost over a furnace (furnaces have to burn 100% of the fuel needed to create their heat, a heat pump already has a source of heat and uses maybe a quarter as much energy in concentrating it and bringing it to where you want it. A heat pump is the exact same thing as an air conditioner, except it has a switch that makes it run the other way around (air conditioners pull heat out of the air inside and put it outside, a heat pump in heating mode pulls heat out of the air outside and puts it inside. And yes, there is a TON of heat in air even when it's below freezing - there's still plenty of heat energy there keeping the air nice and gaseous. Early designs had major efficiency dropoffs, but my family's been using one up here in British Columbia, Canada for 30 years now without a problem. These days they're even putting them in up in the Territories which are up in the same kind of latitude as the main body of Alaska. I'd have stuck with the existing furnace and air conditioner setup if you were keeping the old hardware - the efficiency boon is not worth the cost of getting the old hardware ripped out, but it's a huge waste to take a major renovation like this and go and install what's functionally the same archaic system it had when it was built.
@evictioncarpentry26285 ай бұрын
You can't get house insurance in Canada with a heat pump unless you have a secondary heat source. They don't work during winter in the prairies. Oregon might be different but heat pumps aren't some miracle.
@m_cabral5 ай бұрын
Central heat pumps have several auxiliary heat options. The most common if you replace a traditional AC is to use the old furnace as auxiliary heat. The controller board will have a thermostat wire for aux heat and a wire to trigger the furnace. My basement heat pump has resistive coil strips that run about twice per year and are much cheaper to install than a gas furnace. The entire installation is half the size of the similarly sized furnace/AC unit in my attic. If you get a cold weather kit for your heat pump it’ll run colder (usually as a trade off in terms of warm weather performance, so not good for the American South) or if you buy a higher quality inverter heat pump it’ll probably run well enough in the cold that your heat strips will just sit there doing nothing except making you insurance compliant and adding to your electrical panel’s load calculation.

Hey Jason, Love ❤️ the channel and enjoy each of your vids. Question for you: Have you ever had a second fridge in a home? We have ours right in the middle (driving in towards it) of our 2 car garage. We don’t know how we got by without one prior. If you’ve already planned on putting one in your garage…then no problem, but where you said a mudroom bench, that could be a perfect area for a second fridge. Just throwing out my 2 copper.

Similar thing happened to my brother-in-law. Bought a house that didn't have a final electrical done so he used that to get the price way down. But guess who had to redo all the electrical when they remodeled the whole 3 story lake house? Yep, same guy.

Who hired the inspector, you or the agent? And did you ask him to mark those things that were not up to code? Did you buy outright or finance? Most areas you can look up what permits were requested and current status of those permits.

Can you make the kitchen more open concept? It might help make the hallway seem more than 36" wide.

Will you be insulating at all? Might be a good investment with the temperature swings and longevity.

The Money Pit was a funny af movie staring Tom Hanks. Everything was only going to be "two weeks" 😅

What are the outer walls made of? Orange tiles!? Hopefully, no asbestos !
