Restoring A $7,000 Mansion: Finishing The Basement Rebuild (Pouring Foundation!)

  • My 1917 mansion's basement needs a complete rebuild. In an attempt to make the basement safer, stronger, and livable, over the past several months we have been rebuilding virtually everything and today we are working on one of the final steps, which is to pour a brand new foundation wall, and pour concrete for the kitchen support wall to be built on.
    If you really enjoy this video, no need to worry, there is an incredible amount of mansion to be built! There will be many more videos to come!

    Cole, have your editor add a compressor/limiter to the audio when editing. Because you have plugs in you tend to shout. Without having to change your behavior you can fix this simply in the mix.
    A compressor/limiter either free or from Waves software will solve this instantly every time.
    Cheers!

    For Cooper, you can resharpen those blades. I had a bunch of blades that needed sharpening sitting on my bench and decided to get the Harbor Freight sharpener. Took me less than 10 minutes to sharpen each blade. 3 blades and the sharpener cost $45. Win Win and easy peasy, whatever that means. I don't work for Harbor Freight.

As they were scraping the house getting ready to paint, the wife was noticing cracks and kept asking her husband if she should caulk this crack or that crack. He got tired of her asking, so finally he told her to just caulk every crack she sees. A little while later, the husband was doing something where his crack was showing, so the wife took the caulking gun and squeezed caulk into his crack. LOL
