I could watch this all day. Bravo on all of it. It took balls to take on that gargantuan process of clearing a hoard & then literally transforming the space. It's brilliant to see what you, your wife and friends achieved. You deserve massive respect. The writer in me is intrigued by the solitary hoarder, and the way the hoard literally infested his home. Hoarding is a mental illness which is a reaction to trauma and one of the least understood conditions. I'm autistic (just dx at 57)and I came here looking for home improvement stuff as I'm about to dismantle a house I've been filling with "things" for 12 years. This has helped me process my own hysterical reaction to loss, and my attachment to "everything" Let Go, Let God Much love to you all reading this from Ireland on New Year's Eve 2022 In 90 minutes it will be 2023!!

[@prunabluepepper]

I know that this video is 2 years old, but I wanted to let you know: there is a reason why walls should be light. Rental homes need emotionally and psychologically stable renters who will be able to keep a job and an income. White walls reflect much more light. Light is a base factor for human well-being. It improves the mood and makes you feel more awake and active. Light is seen by the amygdala, a gland inside our head. It regulates activity and happiness. Lack of light can lead to depression. That is why you always choose white walls, to improve your renters health - and protect your own wallet.

They got a clean hoarder house if that makes sense. Like he said in the video, luckily it wasnt nasty trash and animal waste. It was mostly random stuff, clothes and paper. Would have been a different story if he had any animals living with him. Things get horrible when people have animals or just never throw away their food or sanitary trash. Some hoarders are down right disgusting, but this one was just clutter.

[@BradColemanisHere]

I have found that the hoarders I know (a few homes) are all very clean people. They have an unhealthy relationship with "stuff" but you would never know it because they dress nice, smell nice, and people just don't see inside their homes. TV shows seek out the grossness because it's good TV. I would bet that's a small percentage of hoarders.

The painting behind the cabinets just feels like more of a sense of completion. It only takes a few more minutes, and it feels sooo much better!!! We recently had our kitchen redone, and the contractor didn’t want to paint behind the fridge. So, I painted it myself when they weren’t here. It would have been a perpetual source of irritation to me knowing it wasn’t complete.

I was a painting contractor for over 25 years. Two things I see that you might want to think about. 1. Primer. It makes every job look way better. And you almost never have to do more than a single coat of paint on a primed wall or ceiling 2. Texture and primer the ceiling. If you're going for a pseudo "smooth wall" finish, at least primer it.

[@sspiker]

Ditto, my friend has a construction company and always told me to make sure to do that.

[@johnsarcaneautos]

Something I noticed too. The paint will show lines on the tape joints down the road. Also surprised on the formica countertops in the kitchen. Very 1970's. I understand the cost savings though.

[@pridenprejudice2004]

@@johnsarcaneautos Yeah, I'm not crazy about that either, but he is smart to look at the area and stay within those boundaries. If formica counters are standard for that area, then it makes sense. It's a financial investment, not his personal home. He needs to not overdo it and eat up his profit unnecessarily.

[@SpookyFow]

@@johnsarcaneautos Every stain, tape line, paint line, mold, etc,.. will bleed through if you don't prime. I'd put formica in rental properties. Never in a flip. You lose half the money a kitchen remodel would have net if you used high end appliances and materials. To save what? 25% on material costs? You'll end up getting less and probably lose out on bidders. Most buyers are looking for turn key and don't want to spend money updating things like a newly remolded kitchen.

[@KashFloPro]

Thanks for the tips! Will have to try that next time, we always end up painting 2 coats of paint anyways, so 1 coat of paint and 1 of primer would be cheaper and apparently finish better. And yes, the counters were chosen because the neighborhood does not call for higher end finishes. Would not have made the house sell or rent for much more!

its hard to put furniture up against , logically we know it can be done but there is a deep seated fear that people have and that they don't want to feel unsecure because what if the railing gave way? It doesn't help when in some movies people crash through railings in fight situations .

[@KashFloPro]

[@KarsynMacenna]

I prefer it with the drywall, not only can you more easily put furniture against it, you can also put artwork and pictures to decorate. It creates a set space for each room, and feels safer, especially if you have children.

[@leighreinhart6185]

My previous house had a upstairs living room with half walls over downstairs entryway leading into second living area. It could have been more open with railing instead of half walls, but it would have been unnerving, especially since I had a baby/toddler at the time. I think the solid half walls help separate the upstairs and downstairs living spaces, but keep some light and openness.

We do grey as well but it's very light, only dark enough to contrast with white door and trim and cabinets. It's nice because it kind of absorbs the general tint of the aesthetic of the decor. Warm lights, blue curtains, whatever, the walls kind of adapt and blend in.

For longevity and especially for being able to properly clean between tenants, details like having a backsplash are crucial. You do not want food being prepared and cooked against an unwashable, painted wall; that's just a recipe for disaster.

[@HosCreates]

agreed ! my rental's back walls always look terrible despite cleaning.

[@KashFloPro]

I didn't even think of that when I put up the backsplash, but that's a good point. Thanks for the tip!

[@coolcpa3321]

Same goes for the wall behind the toilet. In my rentals where most hall baths have a toilet adjacent to the vanity, we continue the tile from the backslash behind the toilet (i.e. a halfwall of tile). This creates a hard surface that protects against water damage and can be readily cleaned with a steamer. Same for shower/tub enclosures - always take the tile to the ceiling. Also, as tempting as is vinyl flooring, in a rental we always tile. It's not as susceptible to water damage by tenants. For that matter, in rentals we use porcelain rather than ceramic tile for kitchen, baths, etc. because it's less likely to break or chip.

[@KashFloPro]

@@coolcpa3321 That's a good tip for behind the toilets, too. I did that once on a flip house, but just for looks not thinking about the cleanliness!

[@KashFloPro]

Thanks so much!

[@wendynecaise2499]

Amazing transformation. From a layperson's perspective, I would only do a few things differently. A shade lighter on the paint just because it looks very dark in the video and there's not really enough natural light to counteract it. Although that could be just because of the video, I suppose. No wood paneling on the walls. At all. Lol, but that's probably a personal preference. I would have had a bathtub in the upper bathroom. If a young family moves in, they'd need a place to bathe their kids. Finally, I would have left the part of the railing that goes down with the staircase as an actual railing and not drywalled in. The upper part that became a half-wall was a good choice, I think, because it makes a place to back furniture up against and, again this is personal preference, feels safer. But a nice railing on the diagonal section would be cool.

[@KashFloPro]

Thanks for the tips, actually planning to do a few of those things on the next one!

Love it came out great!!!! Only thing I would do is put some moulding above the kitchen cabs to close that gap and bring the eye up more. Beautiful transformation

[@stevengarcia8553]

Agreed! Great job indeed, I also wonder what the reasoning was for not closing the huge gap and the end of the range wall. Looks like about a 4-5 inch gap between the wall and the cabinets. Would've preferred a cabinet above the sink instead of a light. Since they took away the pantry, maximizing as much storage space as possible would be my thought process. Since it turned out to be a rental, I also agree with most comments posted already about that most renters don't mind. Kudos on the hard work!

[@KashFloPro]

Thank you! Yes, I could have added that to the cabinets just didn't think it was worth the time and effort for this house.

[@chiefchook]

I've helped clear a few houses in my time, generally book collections, and it's amazing what you find, and where you find things. For example, one lady had hung perhaps her most precious piece of jewelry on the rear of a wardrobe and we just never figured out how she had done it without pulling the wardrobe out. A great video, by the way.

Beautiful transformation. That was like a rollercoaster ride. Seeing just how bad of a state the house was in at the beginning, then watching it transform really left a good feeling.
