Timelapse - 6 Month First Time Home Renovation in 15 Minutes

[@kcanded]

It's so nice to see a lot of hard and competent work without a lot of talking. What a difference!

[@aborowie]

I love how taking out the low ceiling opened up the main room. Great job, looks like a ton of planning and work went into the project!

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Thanks so much!

[@HaydenWheatley]

Thanks for taking the extra time and effort to document the process! Results are great!

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dominikschutz6300]

So, that's the house where Jason lived :P Great outcome :)

[@SStoll-dz1cp]

ALMOST everything was amazing. The light fixtures is the only issue…their the very cheapest available. However if it’s a income rental then AMAZING for sure. Love it!

[@ThinkMakeDo]

I totally agree! and yes it is a rental so that is why we did not spend too much on the lighting fixtures. i think they are universally hated by everyone lol

[@jahidahdiaab5197]

Anyone who gives a thumbs down to this video. Has to be jealous. I know only a handful of men that are skilled like this. Timely concise and closes the renovation deal. So many projects left half done. You are one of a kind sir. Keep building. Beautiful. Manifest Destiny

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Great friends you have. And a loving family too. The house became very nice. Greets from Holland.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Thanks for visiting! glad you enjoyed

[@NarbaysSC2]

I couldn't stop watching lol, I was glued from start to finish. What an absolute shithole that place was before you started.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

HAHA, yeah looking back it was a total shithole for sure! happy that you enjoyed it. Stay tuned, we have the back house on the same lot we are working on that i am also video documenting. Cheers! -Phil

[@kmckoloa808]

Love your content! Wife and I just bought a fixer upper, we are gutting the basement to turn it into a 2 bedroom 1ba rental. Your videos are giving us some great motivation!

[@ThinkMakeDo]

that is awesome!!! good luck on your reno project!

[@geraldinepebdani4972]

[@juandaawright4124]

Amazing transformation. How knowledgeable and talented you are.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Wow, thank you! appreciate the support

[@jor4288]

Phil, I bet you are happy you finished this job before the price of building materials spiked. It has me in knots.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

For Sure. I just bought some lumber for a different side project and it was 50% more than normal. plywood...is crazy expensive too!

[@lisalisa1261]

The algorithm has shown me your channel! I’m so happy! Great channel and cool video’s. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@ThinkMakeDo]

[@alicesconstantinescu]

Boy.. Thats one neat job u done bro!

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Appreciate the support!

[@laudemirabia1867]

Very good 👏👏👏

[@elevate07]

I wish I knew where to start learning how to do this but fantastic work

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi! Just start with small projects around your home. one small thing at a time and the complexity starts to disappear. Cheers!

[@milkiss1220]

Amazing!

[@3sechsund80er]

Can you give an estimate of the costs for the whole renovation ?

[@l.s.jonesy3947]

I wish I could do half the work you guys can do. I just bought a huge house that needs a lot of work went way over my head.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hey! Just take things one step at a time and remember that youtube and google are your best friend when it comes to home improvement. I am sure you will do great.

[@lanaxairullina8850]

Молодцы! 👏 Получилось превосходно )))

[@merrylune6426]

nice work !!!!! from Algeria💙

[@Jack-b5o6r]

Holy shit what a difference

[@user-ig6fj4ue4p]

On 11:07 what are those bumps on the ceiling at the left top? Hope you enjoy your home, well done 👍🏼

[@ThinkMakeDo]

haha, how did you see those bumps! that section is where the new vaulted ceiling meets the old roof support framing that was not entirely straight. There was extra dryall mud added in that corner to help smooth over the less than straight lines created when we added the drywall. If you look to...08:17 you will see the framing around that corner. It ended up looking pretty smooth and the bumps i think were more wet drywall mud than actual bumps. more like slight wavy lines.

[@user-ig6fj4ue4p]

@@ThinkMakeDo thank you so much for the explanation. I don’t know haha, i was just looking that corner i guess. But its nice to know why it was like that. Its a great work at the end 😊 Greetings from Turkey 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@kaesthetyc]

Wow your work is amazing I'm so impress ! But I gotta say it could have been better with a bit of modernity (like the little bathroom with a walking shower rather that the one you did) Great job I will watch your other videos, I love renos

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Thanks for the tips! definitely agree on the bathroom reno, could have been nicer but you know...budget and stuff. had to sacrifice in some areas :( thanks for the comments and support!

[@kcanded]

I've just watched this again and I'm wondering if you guys moved in here, or if this was a project house/fixer upper then sell? I'm out of breath watching this, you have some amazing skills.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi! thanks for your kind words! This was a project house i renovated and then rented out.

[@jereboy2005]

This was a great job. Looks like a lot of hard work. What was that model program used to plan out the floorplan?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi there. I used sketchup to model the home. great software and in most cases free to use for simpler designs.

[@hill4472]

I would have the city knocking on the door the moment I start the demo.

[@hill4472]

with a stop work order

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Yeah, i guess it does depend on the city you are in and how crazy your permits and neighbors are. This area was definitely not one that scrutinized much

[@demetriotomas7685]

nice

[@Nicscul]

Thank you for putting together such a great video. I have a similar project coming up and want to document it with time lapse. What type of camera did you use?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hey Nicola, glad you liked the video. I use a Simple GoPro Hero8 in timelapse mode connected to a usb battery on a tripod.

[@Nicscul]

@@ThinkMakeDo That makes sense! I was wondering how you dealt with the limited battery with the gopro. Awesome video, thanks for sharing it.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

I use this little anker usb battery that came with a pouch and drawstring, so i hang that from the tripod.

[@jloerke]

Awesome sage green boots sir! prior service?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hey! the boots were from army surplus but my partner on this job served in the army!

[@slouberiee]

Amazing! So much hard and dirty work, you must have learned a lot, admirable :) Was this your side job or were you doing this as a full time thing? Greetings from the Czech Republic :)

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hey! Thanks for the comment. The project was a side job, personal investment so afterhours and weekends only. we had some contractors help along the way during the day when i was at work as well.

[@aongaro]

Very nice! In before 1M views.

[@PineappleQTpie]

Great work but after going through all that trouble only to install cheap or dated materials instead of going with more modern details for same cost

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi, glad you found the channel and video! Not sure I agree on the same cost idea. perhaps you could be more specific on which materials could have been replaced? always open to suggestions for improvement.

[@DeepakJindal07]

what was the total cost of renovation? Cost of total material and manpower?

[@72rimru]

А до этого как они жили без утеплителя в стенах?

[@bart1meuz]

New to the channel, is this a flip? A rental?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hey! its home that we renovated and turned into a rental.

[@yeliz-grafikeranne1662]

Süper 👏👏👏

[@irenegachoki8725]

which is cheaper renovation or tearing the whole house down and building it again?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hey Irene, renovation is cheaper in most cases than a tear down and rebuild. Its only worth it to rebuild if you are going to make the structure larger and add square footage.

[@stephenhunter6507]

I notice you use some software, on line resources, and forums. Do you have a go to list?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi, I used SketchUp for all of my design work prior to starting renovation work. As for resources... Home Reno vision, Build TV, Matt Bangs Wood, This old House, and any other youtube video i could find for construction i watched and learned from.

[@stephenhunter6507]

@@ThinkMakeDo Wow! thanks for taking the time for such a detailed reply!

[@GREENLALI]

Looks like most apartments in California yet we cant get rent control.

[@remarie9355]

What program did you use to design the plans

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hey Re, i used Sketchup. check out thesketchupessentials youtube channel. i watched about 10 of his videos on how to use the app and got to work on my own design plans.

[@remarie9355]

Thank you soooo much

[@the_j_wong]

Wowowow!

[@pabloluislopez3981]

Fucking Legend! I would pay you to teach me!

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Everything i know ive either learned in high school, or on youtube! so many great youtubers out there teaching and inspiring people to build and create!

[@gabrielsiquis]

What was the Program that you use to make this?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

I use adobe premier for video editing

[@vikipedia_real]

Nice work but House look suffocating..

[@trevorhardy3544]

I've seen someone do so much in an old house without proper PPE. Asbestosis isn't funny.

[@belginturner1134]

You are so cute, are you married?❤️😂

[@gnashingmyteeth]

ooh ur cute- your work ethic is formidable -really appreciate the attention to details & mindfulness i.e.., that large kitchen sink/tub with shelves/properly vented stove hood etc, etc,. As a renter these features are sought after. Never diminish your standards, success will follow. Hope your significant other will be just as hard working and diligent; don't get entangled with a lazy/whiny/superfluous pasha looking for a free ride. I have 4 brothers and know of what I speak. Good Luck

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Thank you so much 😊 love the feedback and will keep it up on the next one...as soon as i can find out :)
