Tour of my New House (June 2018 Progress)

Yes, the rumors are true. I bought an old house in south St Louis that I've been busy rehabbing for the last few months. I've had tons of requests for a tour so... even though I'm not finished, here's a progress update. Once I get some more work done I'll post another update.

Very nice place. I have always bean a fan of older homes. They are always so interesting and unique. I'm actually as well in the process of looking for an older home to buy.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Just be warned, they can be a lot of work, but if done right they’re awesome

[@gladfan1989]

Looks great, so far. Those are the weirdest bathrooms I've ever seen, but you've certainly made them work. Can't wait to see a grand reveal video.

[@michelinman8592]

I figured something was up with the DieselDucy videos. Congratulations on the new house; hope it gives you many, many years of great service.

[@thewildeeper]

Your finished bathroom looks beautiful! You really have a knack for doing these renovations, I'm sure your house will be amazing once it's done! And then you can come over and start working on mine :D

[@evanbart4109]

Great video 😀👍👍 You had a real “fixer upper”’! Great work so far!👌 Could you make that odd room (likely made drugs in) a bathroom, or closet?

[@Daniel28021991]

Wow that's a very nice house! I was surpriced that there are 2 bathroom and a restroom.

[@ABC4353]

Make sure you get Tyler TTV701-7 7 inch portable TV that has Lithium-Ion battery from amazon in case of power outage

[@anthonypasculli6980]

Jacob, you have a recalled Kidde fire extinguisher. I highly recommended calling them to get a free replacement.

[@JohnAckerman93]

Love the front porch. Looks like a very nice house you got there.

[@AroundIndiana]

I'm in the process of buying my first house too. Nice place you have there. I'm not wanting to do as much remodeling but you're doing a good job with it.

[@ChloeLane1011]

Awesome job so far! Can’t wait to see how the rest of it turns out!

[@tgrkiller]

damn 2 full badrooms, each bedroom basicaly got his own.. pretty sweet :P

[@lucasaccount573]

That area in the back behind the shed I have one great tool that could fix that. Construction Rental Weedwacker

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

Herman the Headphone Stand should make an appearance

[@joehammond2586]

Congratulations.

[@SamSitar]

your kitchen is the best room. slanted room interferes when you shower.

[@anuyew9537]

[@eddiemccarthy7110]

The only way you

[@filmer765]

Nice! You’ve done some impressive work so far.

[@mitchellarmstrong3759]

Great job on those renovations!

[@alex0711a]

Congrats

[@jasont2448]

Nice work!

[@EhsWorldProductions]

This is awesome! Once you finish up the house, with your knowledge and expertise in the hospitality industry, you should rent out one of the rooms on Airbnb.

[@carselevators930]

You’ve got a nice house

[@DuckettMMC]

Very nice house! Solid bones are what is most important! I'd suggest if you want outdoor lights looking into solar lights. No cords running around. We have some in the front landscaping and they work great. The only drawback is if you don't get a ton of sunlight to them they might go dim before morning but throwing in fresh batteries seems to help matters. I'm sure that's low on your list, however.

[@CLC-1000]

Nice house.

[@gptelevators1564]

Awesome house! I think Herman the Headphone Stand is going to like this lol.

[@isaac24]

GTS Elevators LOL yeah he is:)

[@samtovar2447]

Nice.

[@delstanley1349]

At 1:46 I feel like I'm in the same neighborhood in the opening scenes of "King of Queens," which is supposed to be in Queens, NY.

[@ArtiePenguin1]

Nice tour video, the remodels are coming out nice and modern. Just that back entry way seems too small, like you can barely close the door without having to go on the stairs. So I assume now you have a full time job? Care to share any more about that (job category, description, etc.)....

[@ryanfrisby7389]

From what I gathered, he works IT!

[@-Derp-]

congratulations on your purchase. cool house. i am just about to buy a house too. its scary expensive here (australia). i am looking at about $750k aud, which is about $560k usd. the wife and i earn good money so it makes it easier.

[@TheJD2024]

Very nice!

[@VintageLiftLad]

The toilet is in the middle of the room in the main bathroom and its irritating me haha

[@greattrainadventure8523]

He should have done it hotel review style like it was a hotel room

[@Z_harris]

❤️❤️

[@andylee237]

I used to live in that area.

[@20thcenturycolin88]

How many bed room is your home?

[@20thcenturycolin88]

What is it think it i s 3 bedrooms

[@seanjuth]

He may have anxiety. Which would probably explain the weed growth

[@VoidlyAntol]

hello

[@lucasaccount573]

Did, did he buy a grow op?

[@codymcaleer7209]

It was a grow house

[@isagheponticilli3285]

he must like smoking ram

[@20thcenturycolin88]

?

[@JimBeary]

Congrats on the new pad Jacob! Now, make that "grow room" work for you and your expensive travel hobby instead of acting like it's too far beneath your dignity...!

[@LtotheWtotheTD]

I hate electr words

[@LtotheWtotheTD]

Like electro

[@alex0711a]

11:56 great US craftsmanship right there. This looks horrible

[@joshuapereira3787]

GOOD MORNING BEST THE ELEVATOR Jacob Channel CANADA ONTARIO KZbin VIDEO MISSISSAUGA TRANSIT 🇨🇦🇨🇦🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@mmacphersonn]

For the lights in the family room... you insulted my dining room chandelier. But thanks for doing that because we hate it.

[@Z_harris]

You should get the basement finished

[@eclipsemoon2b]

Wow I’m so late on congratulating you on the house.... like 2 years late! Lol. You did so much! You should do a 2 year update if anything has changed. You have really great taste !

[@shellyp9141]

You did a great job on the house! Congratulations on becoming a homeowner and also for hitting the 10 year mark on KZbin!

[@21xd09]

Very nice!

[@isaac24]

20:34 so the 2nd bedroom originally had a bathroom, but the master didn't?

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

Did you find out what's under the toilet yet?

[@TransitUSA]

Congrats on your purchase! Great house by the way!

[@nancydarling4918]

Good video. Thanks.

[@twentyfour44]

Love the house

[@bigbadmower5283]

very expensive it looks amazing well done

[@mjb6991]

No elevator? :)

[@georgef551]

Nice house! Good job renovating so far. I must point out: Hopefully the electrical wires coming out of the basement window are on a GFCI circuit. If not, potential fire hazard. The "Convenience" of the lowered floor in the basement might be because it floods, not for extra ceiling height. That's why all the important stuff is "Elevated" from the floor. This place must've had extensive rehab beforehand, albeit wrong, as you pointed out. The hint is removing drywall. Drywall was not a thing in the 20s, so you'd have plaster and lath. That would really make a mess of things if it was still there.

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Thanks! Good chance I'm going to just remove the back yard lights entirely. They're poorly installed (shocker) and quite a few don't work. The seller seemed to hint that he was in the process of finishing the basement in the listing. And given the plumbing he (poorly) added in for an additional bathroom, I believe that was the intent. Though the current situation certainly would help in the event of a flood.

[@isaac24]

18:50 why would you be able to see into the shower but not out? Shouldn't that be switched?

[@leodorego2629]

Nice clean house but issue about the stairs basement and other problems of the house

[@ryantossell6694]

I wonder if the previous owner had a dog to go through the little doggie door?

[@stpaulbriar]

Excellent video! What neighborhood in South City? Looks south of Chippewa to me.

[@clcheatw]

Your house is coming along nicely! Congrats on your home purchase!

[@ARelevators]

I bet he was growing weed in that room

[@JoshCraver9000]

Nice! What's the square footage of the place?

[@TheElevatorChannel]

1350

[@silentbadshah3493]

Weed growing

[@susannecollins8765]

Very nice!

[@JMANWiSS]

I liked this a lot! More update videos please!

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

Wow! That house is amazing!

[@Trucker4699]

Do you still live in Jefferson City?
