Thanks for visiting. I am being treated for neck cancer and need to rely on the text to speech.

The kitchen remodel went well. I still will be painting the window sash. Thank for commenting. 👍

The kitchen wood floors are now in good condition after the sanding and finishing. The area by the laundry had to have some additional work. 😊

I haven’t heard any other reports of this. Is it still under warranty?

I am being treated for neck cancer, so I have been relying on text to speech. If anyone has a good recommendation on a T2S I would be grateful 😊

While sanding the doors fine lines takes time, most of the time I had to wait overnight for the stain or polyurethane to dry for the next coat.

Restoring an old house door is much better than buying a cheap steel door manufactured overseas. Lets save craftmanship.

Thanks for commenting. The door is solid wood and the detail is interesting.

Restoring the door of this old house was fun and rewarding. The are more doors to restore in this old house. Thanks for commenting.

This old door is ready for another century.

I understand. People that like electric lawnmowers usually have a lot of batteries and all the other tools such as the shop vac, blower, weed whip. If I had only one battery,, I would not use it.

I find if you run it at the fastest speed and the grass is pretty tall it will drain a battery in 25 minutes or so but I started to just use the self propelled mode when needed and let momentum do the rest and I get double the use. Although now it dies if I use the self propelled mode at all so now it’s a push mower 😢

That's not true at all. Unless you bought the cheapest ryobi mower

The Ryobi electric lawnmower has a bag. We found that the lawnmower mulching works so well, we seldom use the bag. Thanks for commenting.

The staircase renovation turned out well. We are going to do a little more work on the stair handrail and balusters. 😊

It’s looking beautiful 😍 , nice work!

My favorite benefit is electric lawnmower. Doesn’t have oil to change a gas to stabilize for the winter. My experience with gas powered lawnmowers compared to electric lawn mowers is electric Is just so much easier to maintain and store

The bathroom makeover was fun. The Victorian black and white walk in shower is even better with LED lighting.

Remodeling a small bathroom can be a challenge but this design worked well and seemed to create a lot of room. Thanks

A small bathroom renovation takes a lot of planning but it is worth it in the end. Thanks for commenting. 😊

Thank you! Cheers!

The bathroom remodel in this old house renovation took a while but it was worth it. Thanks for the feedback 😊

The electric lawnmower design is solid. The biggest consideration is the battery life and brand. The Ryobi battery capacity runtime is about two 40 volt batteries for 1/3 acre yard including weed whip and blowing

The older models take a 20 inch blade. The newer models can be 21 inch and I believe they have a 22 inch. Hold the old one next to the new one. Thanks

Which electric lawnmower is your favorite?

I had to replace the blade each year.

After using it for two years, Battery live is a concern for this electric lawnmower.

Old house plumbing is a challenge. Sewer lines have tree roots, plumbing stacks are cast iron, and pipes leech into the water supply.

Crazy to have it on an electric lawnmower, right?

Only if you can't turn it off. But LEDs are so incredibly efficient it likely makes no noticeable difference anyways. Like, your not even getting an extra 2min of mowing power if the lights are off.

The older Ryobi electric line Morris used 20 inch and smaller blades. The newer lawnmowers are used 21+ blades. You may not be able to find the 20 inch on the shelf, but if you order it online and have it delivered to your home or store that that works out well at Home Depot. Thanks for sharing.

You bought the wrong blade. I also work for my local school district, so I'm not surprised.

All this electric lawnmower is working well, the batteries are average. I’d like to try the EVO or other brands to compare it.

It seem like all the batteries are expensive. However an electric lawnmower is so much easier to maintain and transport.

The adjustable rate speed by using a hand on electric lawnmower is a great feature. I think there’s a model of Ryobi that has this feature. Maybe I’ll try that in the future. Overall, what do you think of the EVgo?

I disagree, 120 year old knob and tube wiring is a fire hazard. century old cast iron pipes can leach chemicals into the water supply. Call it what you want but we restore houses for another 100 years. Thanks for the comment. 😊

I've had good luck with mini-splits. I had to use them where they couldn't get underneath the dwelling. They used to be too expensive, but I think I have come down in price a lot.

Thanks for visiting. Our black cat Margie is great at fetching.

Adding a ductless mini split heating and cooling system can be great option for an old house renovation. Running ductwork in an old house with lath and plaster can be challenging.

Old house renovations do have a lot of challenges. A renovator will need masks, face shields, gloves and other gear. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching our old house renovation videos.

While there are many challenges renovating an old house, once done It should be good for another century.

Yes, after the upgrade of the lath and plaster of this old house, it really turned out crazy

The next old house renovation video will be the bathroom remodel. Thank you 😊

I agree, a electric lawnmower has a short runtime. If you have a very large yard or use the lawnmower to mow multiple yards, you would need extra batteries.

@@OldHouseRenovation70 minutes per battery or 70 min between 2 batteries ?

Unique porch railings. The wrought iron brings out the design

I found that this electric electric lawnmower worked well. However, the 40 V batteries seem a little less reliable. Maybe two seasons you can get with them.

Fair question. And thanks for commenting. Two years go I had throat cancer and I survived it. But now my mouth and throat get dry quickly and it’s hard to do the voice over for the whole video. So I use the AI as a option. keep watching and sharing my video. Thank you.

We tested for lead paint and wore P100 masks.

Lath and plaster removal is challenging in an old house renovation to upgrade the electrical and plumbing systems.

It is an easy to store electric lawnmower. You can fold down the handle and tip it upright on the back wheels.

70 minute run time handles most suburban yards.

@@danielwessel988470 min per battery or 70 min total between 2 batteries ?

It mowed my entire yard off of 2 batteries (you just turn the key to switch batteries) but after a few months of use it turns off when I try to have it self propel

That is true. However, we used spray foam insulation which offset removal of the lath and plaster. Here is the spray foam insulation video ua-cam.com/video/w6cQpYRrVt0/v-deo.html

That's not even close to being true. Lath is not structural. If at all, you're talking .000001% difference.

I really wish people would learn terminology, pronunciation and technique before posting how-to videos. Pronouncing it like the tool "lathe" destroys your credibility. Plus the demo shown in the video of just busting it all up and breaking it with a hammer is not how you most efficiently prep for drywall. The lath nails need to come with the board or you add another process to prep. Take the time to deconstruct... you'll be much better off.

I found electric lawnmowers are pretty similar. The battery is the costly item. Wanna make sure that a good battery lasts a long time at all to keep buying new ones. Ryobi battery I only lost one in the last three years.

@@OldHouseRenovation i hear you thou im from south africa also have a garden service along with a renovation company, the type of grass we get here sometimes we faced with some tougher weeds and floura, yeah that machine may be good for home use, but for consistent use i highly doubt itll do the job, the petrol Ryobi mowers dont last as its build quality may look aestheticly good the plastic wheels and other frequently used bits dont servive, likewise cordle ryobi power tools i gift to my wife instead, like the drill she uses in the kitchen🙈😂, i applaud Ryobi for making a tool for every application but as small business owner i would rather gift it to someone who works once in a while at home rather then be a frequent d.i.y guy

Thanks. The wrought iron porch railings were custom made by O’Brien Ornamental. While it was a little more expensive, we think it will be lower maintenance.

Thanks for commenting. Wisconsin building codes states “Guardrails must surround any deck that is more than 2 feet above ground. The guardrails must be at least three feet high.” We were pretty close to the 2 feet but since it is a duplex that may be rented, we wanted to be safe.
