Restoring A $7,000 Mansion: INCREDIBLE Dream Attic Rebuild (Pt. 2/3)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- I am working in my mansion, fully restoring it. Due to rotten boards, 30 years of bird poop, and lack of engineered design, my mansion's incredible attic needs a complete rebuild. With the help of a few simple tools, strong hands, great friends, and a positive attitude, I try to rebuild the incredible, massive, dream attic.

The mansion work is what brought me to the channel around 4 years ago - I stay because of you and the Cornstar family/friends. Looking fantastic!!!
Hey!! Let's give Juston some credit! Great guy to have on your side! Even though he smells. Of greatness!
Roman has enough wood to make a chicken mansion! Can’t wait to see the finished chicken coop!
Maybe this build is the coop 😂
@@bear1245lmao 🤣🤣🤣
🪵🪵🪵
I’ll be back for all of it
Oh i hope we get to see Roman’s chicken coop . ❤👍🏼👍🏼
This is by far the coolest build project I have watched in a long time. I'm going to miss this when it's over. You three make a great team, thank-you for taking us along.
they should consider to keep doing builds, it's the best build show on tv or internet
Cole, you need to put in a stained glass window in that attic! Maybe a modern version of corn stalks with a star hidden somewhere within. That would be awesome!
corn star trade mark.
The windows in the attic are only about five years old
There is now a method to apply “faux” stained glass to existing windows. My neighbor had this done and it’s amazing.
You people are nuts. He complained how much the current windows cost.
The attic balcony is going to make the house. Your boy deserves an extra pat on the back for that one
And how old will the boys be until they are old enough to be allowed up in the attic? How old will the boys be when they rappel down to the 2nd floor from the attic? lol
@@NotKev2017 Before they rappel they will be tossing stuff off the balcony. I also am slightly nervous as I had kids that climbed everything, no fear at all. I vote for adding a slide from the attic to the next floor down.
I’m wondering if your heating bills will be higher when you heat the whole attic all winter. If you close it off, you could keep it colder up there.
You’ve probably heard this a million times but I’m sure not tired of hearing it. The metamorphosis of this property is nothing less than amazing! Love it!
Think twice about that cathedral overlook. I lived w one of those. Impossible to clean and change bulbs or dust a ceiling fan. Also, heat rose (could change your HVAC calculation), created a weird draft & condensate formed at the peak. Suggest you build it such that you can fill it in if you find similar issues. But…I LOVED THE DRAMATIC TREE TOP VIEWS FROM THERE. A wonderful spot! Good luck!
I don’t know what I like best. Your remodel or farming. I guess I like them both equally. So keep up the good work and listen to Justin on his ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I want to see a clip of y'all helping Roman build his chicken shed one day!
A great video for the next great grandkid that will remodel what you are doing.
So true! No second guessing this great grandpa 😊
That's what I said. Leave it open. It's gorgeous!
It's absolutely amazing how you are all working on this!!! Love watching. Farming too but this is amazing!!
That was my thought, too! Open it up! Really loving this series!
It is going to look awesome... but what about the kids climbing up to look over? I know I'm a worrier. I just know how MY kids behaved as young boys. lol Caught them jumping from the rafters in the garage onto a mattress one day smh
Nave will be so happy to get moved into this forever home and make it the true cornstar mansion with 2 little boys running thru it .!😊❤
Definitely leave it open u lose attic space anyways
You guys are a great team . Naves going be so happy .
i was just thinking earlier too, leave it open! that balcony is gonna be siiiiiiick and with some grand beams, and gorgeous wood trim, that room is going to be one of the best rooms in the house. Probably even nicer than the first floor living room.
Super fabulous cool idea about the half wall. It will be amazing to look down from that angle. Thank you Justin for the great idea. Huge thumbs up.
Very cool makes sure the kids can not go over the edge of your short wall❤
Cole, with little kids, you need to make sure those low, working windows can only be opened a little, so the kids don't open them up and fall out.
Not to mention only a 4 foot wall to keep them inside the attic. Kind of dangerous if you ask me.
@@NotKev2017you must have fallen over a railing as a child. Maybe Nave should just wrap them in bubble wrap
I was a farm kid growing up. Nothing was OSHA approved. our barn and all the equipment was all scary stuff. I was told not to do stupid things and it worked.
Man that grass is looking awesome
So glad it turned out so beautiful after all the time Cole put into his Kentucky Blue Grass.
Cooper did a great job mowing the grass in front of your house, and it looks BEAUTIFUL now.
You guys are gonna be ready to start your own construction company ! Justin is a head down perfectionist. Roman…another perfectionist. And, the Corn star is the General Conductor and purser.
Justin and Roman are working so hard. I am very impressed by their skill and thinking on their feet. You guys are great and fun to watch.
That is so far fetched.
Maybe Coles Mom and Dad can move in while the "team" renovates Papa and Momma's place!?! Next... 🙂
winter building co. .... when there is no farm work?
@@Rok_Piletic Your perception is not true. There is much to do on a farm of that size.
Oh yeah, now you're talking! That double height space from the second floor to the attic will be next level! Was kinda hoping you'd go that way while watching the video, its a breathtaking space. AWESOME WORK JUSTIN!
You should make the tight spots in the attic a secret room for Edward, or for storage.
I am so excited about part 3. Awesome watching this be done
Justin deserves A BIG FAT RAISE OR AN ATTA BOY AWARD 🏆 for coming up with the architectural engineering design to turn the attic into a Cathedral ceilings with balcony all the way around ! That was a genius idea to really make that house so much cooler than it already was!
Awesome idea Justin.......
💰💵 ? Or ....Atta Boy 🏆 ?? 😂🤣🤣
Your work rate and organizational skills are so impressive, it's amazing how far this house has come with only 3 guys working together!
I enjoy watching your videos and progress, can’t wait to see the finished product…
Not me. I don't like how they gutted the place and how the character of this once historic home is just another modern floor plan. The true craftsmanship removed for all time.
@@greghamann2099 But a lot of it was rotten.. warped not build right in the first place ..so it needed a rip out ..unfortunately it is what it is .. someone in a hundred years will be saying the same as you just said
All that hard work on the lawn last fall is paying off Cole. The lawn is looking lush and very green! Well done!
You are one lucky guy Cole. You have the best friends who are willing to help you make your dreams come true.
Making the third level partially open showing those beautiful windows and allowing all that light in is awesome. I approve!! 😉
Justin is amazing
3 minutes in and there are messages already! How awesome. I love seeing the restoration!
You should install an elevator 🛗
@@lesiamuzyka7673 I agree, an elevator will mean that when Cole and Neva get old they can still live in their house. All they need to do now is make space and plan ahead to install that elevator when they need it.
@wkjeom the house is so big I'm sure it would be helpful now and in the future
Amazing feats of engineering. A university could use these videos for students to problem solve. This is an architectural puzzle and seriously interesting how it’s coming together. Don’t know who’s leading this math but I would say Roman knows exactly what to do. A true blessing on this amazing team. I am always fascinated by the people God pairs us up with in r lives.
That balcony will open up the bedroom for sure, but will also be a bit of a safety risk for small boys when they put chairs infront of the railing to be able to see better...😮 No, not yet, but sooner then you think.😉
You might also want to consider the extra heating cost?🙉 17:52
what extra cost? This space was going to be heated with or without a wall or ceiling there. Its not like it was going to be an unconditioned attic.
A couple more inches of spray foam would be beneficial though
@@warrenmichael918 Well, warm air expands upwards? To keep the bedroom warm you have to heat it from the ceiling of the attic down to the floor- instead of just heating up to the bedroom ceiling. You have to fill the attic with heat before you get the same temperature all the way down to the bedroom floor.
Good when it's too hot, bad when it's cold. Just the laws of physics.
@@atirblum and? People heat huge lofted ceiling houses everyday and they seem to keep warm. when you can afford a huge house thats 3 or 4 stories and being fully rebuilt like this, a decent power bill is expected. That open loft will be pennies more on the power bill
Roman you can build your own mansion for nothing! lol! Thank you guys very much! Always appreciate your sharing Cole!
I love how they have "RUFFS" in the midwest while we have roofs.
Balcony in the attic!!!! Bad idea….you have two young boys! An accident looking for a place to happen.
Cole, I’m a mother, grandmother and a great grandmother. You are providing temptation. PLEASE RETHINK that decision. You are setting yourself up for a tragic accident.
Just trying to save you and your family from a possible tragedy.
First of all I'm so excited the old wood is gone along with all the bird dropping. Bird droppings can be very dangerous to your life. My son was a landscaper and passed away from a disease called histoplasmosis. It's from bird droppings. Second I'm more excited that you are getting all new floors that are stronger and safer. I'll be happy when you guys are not walking on the floor joists! Stay safe Justin, Roman and Cole!! 💙💙💙
I’m so sorry about your son.
Condolences
I am impressed to see 2X8 joists on 12" centers. You are clearly thinking about your family with that decision. I'm lucky to have found a house that was built with 2X12 on 14" centers. Having solid floors and walls means so much to the feeling of safety. Especially when storms come. You're doing right by your family. I am envious of the camaraderie you have with your buds and I know that each of you know how rare that is - and that makes it even better. I would recommend the 5/8" drywall. Can't wait for the next installment.
Roman is a new STAR! LOL Love him!!
Your Videos are the Highlight of my days. I’m lying on the hospital since months and I’m waiting all time for your new adventures. You are perfectioning your building skills constantly. I’m wondering when you will manage your projects with SCRUM and using a kanban board. 😂
Thanks for making my days better ❤
This house is going to be so cool that you're probably going to have to do one episode a week from inside the house once it's finished just so we can all enjoy it too ! 👍
@@greghamann2099 I respectfully disagree with most of what you said.
Cole what an amazing team you have built around you. Thank you for letting us share this journey with you all.
The four foot wall sounds interesting. Although, you have two toddlers who at some point will find it very exciting to climb up and look down. I hope it will be safe enough for them. Adults sometimes forget the mischief kids can get into because their thought process isn’t at our level.
It's a good idea, it opens up the attic and brings great outside sunshine lighting into a home. Make the attic off limits and/or wrap the children in bubble wrap and don't let them play physical sports.
@@X3bands I’ve worked in a hospital ER I’ve seen what a ten plus foot drop can do to a person never mind a child. Never said it wasn’t a great design idea. Never said to wrap their kids in bubble wrap. It’s his kids ultimately the decision is his not yours not mine.
The money you're saving by doing this yourself is astounding...you have a great team working with you too...best of luck in all you do..
The only boss on earth that promotes the whole " we get paid by the hour" statement. " they work way to fast" gets me every time. Keep at er boys!
I really want to see Roman’s 🐔 coop 🤪
Wow! This is an awesome project for a historical home! The magnitude and complexity would deter nearly everyone! It’s definitely really really really really really cool!
Oh No these episodes are just not long enough. MY HUSBAND AND I LOVE WATCHING THIS SERIES TOGETHER!!! I think Roman has enough wood to make an addition to his house and still have enough wood for the Chicken Coop. ALSO ROMAN YOU NEED TO DO A YOU TUBE ON BUILDING YOUR CHICKEN COOP!!??? YES????
Fabulous floor plan and love how you are able to make changes as views development inside the house. Justin is phenomenal, 👏👏👏👏👏
I’ve been following y’all and up until now was confident I could do the same with my skill set. But that attic rebuild is where you finally lost me! I wouldn’t be able to suss it out myself. 😂 It’s like you trying to teach my beagle quantum physics! Good good on you though - we’re eating this up with a spoon!
The attic rebuild has got me nervous. The original design for the supports of the roof were sketchy. I'm sure they are going to do a great job but at the moment it seems less supported than it should be.
Great progress!! 👏👏👏👏 I’ll be here!!
“Juston stinks“ 😂 I love the dynamic between you guys 🥹
Auf dieses Video warte ich seit ich das erste mal den Dachboden gesehene habe. Ich folge dir seit Jahren und liebe jede Veränderung deiner Farm. Einfach fantastisch! Großartig! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
I really, really like your Farming videos, but I really, really love the mansion renovation videos.
YOU all are going to love that atrium idea! I was hoping that would happen after the attic floor was removed.
Y'all are doing a good job keep up the hard work
These young men are modern day craftsmen 🙌🏻
My father was a craftsman who actually restored houses. He would call these guys hacks.
Consistently amazed by how hard you guys work AND the quality of the work. It's inspiring!
Leaving that vaulted to the next floor was the move for sure! That will look great
I hope you are aware of how smart and fore sightful as Juston is. You are so lucky to have him working with you. It’s looking real good too.
Justin is right the attic area should be open concept 😊. Good for you Cole to listen to your Framer/Contractor 😊. Your kids will have a blast up there.😊
Disagree. Loosing a lot of floor space. Plus as you know heat rises. So in order to keep the attic area from getting too hot to use, the second floor will have to stay uncomfortable cool. Everyone I know that has high ceilings has realized what it cost to heat (just for looks) and say they wish they didn’t do high ceilings and lofts.
I have been wathing for yeears now! Especially loving the house restoration.
I personally loved Obstacle #10, subtle yet well executed. hahaha
Great idea Justin to have the attic area partially open to the 2nd floor. It will bring in lots of light and give it a dramatic ceiling height in that area. You guys are doing a great job.
Yes! The balcony, you did it! Good work, guys! 🤩
Can't wait for these guys to start working on Coopers mansion !
it was his birthright too. He got nothing,
You're the first homeowner/boss who complained about construction workers working to fast on your home. It's a historical moment for a historical house 🏡
Right...
What history? It is gone. Only a shell of its former glory. Every inch of the historic floor plan demolished. All the woodwork will never fit into the modern floor plan. Its modern house with an imitation shell.
@@greghamann2099 Greg, calm down. You're way too worked up about a house you don't own being fixed up by people you don't know.
@@rohwynnThat may be so but I was a teen my father restored our farm mansion that was more impressive, and his work was far superior. He didn't do a gut job and he focused on preservation. Hard wood floors and interactant period woodwork remain to this day and my brother lives there very comfortably.
I was sad to see inside demolished but it’s their home!!! More remodeled than preservation!! Still enjoying!!!
Yes, waiting for the part three can you post it for me please to wash it I get entertained a lot for the building with the word. I love the video and I love how you reaction all very good friend. Respect for each other and you love each other and you take care for each other very good and enjoying you guys how you guys doing I love you, thank you and God bless you good
Nave is gonna love the lofted ceiling! Just imagine how tall that Christmas tree is gonna be!
So excited that you chose to make a balcony imagine now if you will a super tall Christmas tree
Y'all are some skilled people never seen a house built from the inside out
Let’s talk about the lawn! Straight lines are looking killer!!
Cole, Start a sign up competition to give one viewer a two round trip travel and stay to see the home when completed before move in. You could sell a bunch of Murch that way.
I can't wait to see how those crazy roof rafter intersections get repaired & strengthened.
I've seen the beginning of this project til now and I am impressed and can't wait to see the final outcome 💯
Cole you must be so proud of the progress on your 100 year old mansion👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤❤
I have enjoyed seeing this project so much! I bet it smells better in there with the old sub floors gone from the attic. Thanks for sharing! And it's always a good day when you have the opportunity to use the leaf blower 😅
You three are just Amazing I just can't imagine three people doing what you are doing. I love watching the 3 of you. You are the best.
It is just amazing to me what 3 very determined young men can accomplish. You are amazing men. Never let anyone including the enemy tell you different. Praise Jesus! This is a delight to watch!
Leaving the attic partially open is an awesome idea.
I always enjoy when you show the view from the attic windows, it really shows the magnitude of the building. Beautiful view
Very nice change to open up some of the third floor. Hope the new technology can help with heating/cooling. It’ll be beautiful. Those windows definitely need to be enjoyed.
I am now going to wait until THE END of every video to comment. The balcony Cathedral Ceiling idea was what a posted at the beginning of this video… and seeing that y’all came to that same conclusion… GREAT MINDS! I am so excited how everything looks! Can’t wait for Part 3! B~}
Excellent idea Justin. Those windows are so awesome, you just have to show them off.👍👏
Roman should start a channel showing how he is using the discarded building materials…I’d watch🙃
So you think Cole is just giving everything away for free.
My husband teaches an 8th grade elective: Principles of Engineering and Manufacturing. He leads his students in problem-solving with the mantra, "Details Matter." Y'all would be getting A's for figuring out the challenges of the house floor by floor!!!! Blessings!!!!
Wait....a balcony overlooking the second floor??? You have BOYS....adventurous BOYS....you realize you are giving them a throw-whatever-over-the-ledge space????? Just warning you now...and giving the family opportunity to put together a pool with day/age/object options down the road!!!!! Hahahahahahahaaaa
Great job guys!!! This restoration is the highlight of my day….which is sad if ya think about it haha!!!! So exciting. I’m proud for you Cole, Nava and boys!!! Good to see more of Roman too, I love his commentary, hope he does a channel of his chicken”shed” haha
Usually, the rule is based on the amount of conditioned floor area, and contractors in many areas generally use the rule of 1 ton of air conditioning capacity for each 400 to 600 square feet of floor area. The rule is usually specified in square feet per ton (sq. ft./ton) - you need about 8 tons or 2 4 ton units. i would just go with a couple mini splits and then also use heat exchangers plus pos pressure hepa - no more dusting - the hvac pros are going to do a ton of vents and air carriers - mostly unneeded as the hosue is going to be 68-70 all year round. put one heat echanger in basement and one in third floor - you can run both or vary them according to season for max efficiency - they are 90% efficient which means you will not lose much heating or cooling but have good air recirc plus it will be hepa filtered - air will always be going out of the house/no infiltration
Oh my goodness look at your beautiful yard!!!! Yay!!!! 🎉😊
Absolutely loving this whole series!
I can hardly wait for part three. I love Juston's idea to add interest to the attic area and to the floor below. You three rock!
My parents built a house in late 70s with cathedral ceiling, balcony, and light coming in from windows above. The windows were partial solar (or something like that). We loved the space, but when it was full sun, it was hard to regulate the heat, and it would get too hot. Also, it faded the decor super fast. Window treatments have advance much in the last 40 years. Look into windows that will help protect from sun but bring in the light.
Yes, it is gonna be super cool. 😎
I really am enjoying the home remodeling videos! Keep up the AWESOME work you guys!!
Cole I know I mentioned before when you were taking down bricks then drywall then paneling and now it probably after the fact it. But i will suggest it again now that you are taking down more of the Attic: Please put down tarps below where you are dropping stuff down. The Tarps will catch most of the debri/stuff. Then all you have to do is fold up the tarp and drag it to the truck or a bin and empty it in there. It would save you so much time from having to clean up the floors so often and so much. And it would save your back from having to bend over so much picking it all up. It doesn't have to be a big tarp. Just one or two in strategic places that you can handle carrying or dragging outside or to a window to dump out. Work smarter not harder!
Love the open balcony idea! 🏡.
That opening in the roof to the lower floor is going to look so fantastic. I can't wait for 3 of 3. Good thinking Roman.
Hopefully Roman is not the only one thinking. You would think the homeowner would contribute his brain too.
So glad you are leaving it open to see those beautiful windows upstairs and so much light! Love it! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
That attic and its windows are a treasure. Love that you're opening it up with the balcony. It would be an excellent location to make a comfy spot and perch with books in winter.
I love how Justin is the voice of reason when y'all are wildin lol
That open space is so awesome! Love the loft!!!
Love the new idea it's going to look amazing with them high ceilings
