Thank you all for watching my videos, this episode shows a big visual transformation. I prime the walls using a paint sprayer followed up by back rolling. While it is cold and I have a lot to distract me from this project, I'm hoping to wrap it up in the next couple months. Stay tuned for more.
Thanks again!
This house looks so much bigger with the primer. Looks so clean. Great work. I’ve followed this house since beginning. Never imagined it could look like this.
Same here, been watching from day 1 on this one. Love the way it's coming together.
I did a house 2 years ago. Full gut job including replacing some floor joists and rebuilding part of the block wall. I did ALOT of the work myself, But I hired out drywall. Once drywall was complete, it was like a giant breath of fresh air on the project.
me too. My entire basement drywall has hung in just one day! It would have taken me weeks. Lots of dough to hire it out, but so much faster. Same thing with electrician.
I am excited to primer next week!
In case you read this comment, I want to give you my 2 cents about why I watch your channel (casually).
I am a young, (with a young family) first time home owner of an old house that needs work. I may not have the time or energy to DO the work myself, but watching you deal with and EXPLAIN the issues that you see, educates me about my house and what solutions there may be. That is valuable to me.
Second - I love seeing people restoring broken things. It is not neat, rarely clean, but it is deeply creative and hopeful. Which we all need more of in our lives.
Finally - you make me smile and laugh; petty one-liners and ads for Simply Safe and all! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Being over 65 with health issues creeping in, projects like this are out of my realm of possibility these days but it's a pleasure watching younger men on UA-cam applying themselves and putting in the work during their productive years. They go by so fast so kudos to you for making the most of yours! Happy Holidays, sir!
I'm 57 and hope to be able to do a lot of the work in my house once my parents no longer need it, but time is starting to catch up...
It has popcorn ceilings, and the typical 70's/80's hollow core doors & trim that I want to go away...
The idea of a mold proof primer over the bathroom regular plaster board is a great idea. Flat white quality paint is my favorite color on your whole interior painting project.
Ugh .. I was waiting for the drywall and paint but missed these until now .. I love the quirkiness of older homes, not just four walls like a box .. this house has that quirkiness but with a clean feel .. love it! And the sunroom is fantastic - it is the perfect place to stash coats and shoes, extra pantry items, kids projects etc.
👍👍👍👍👍 I've waited a long time to compare the before and after images of this house and what surprises me is the amount I remember of it before the beginning of the demolition. The demolition that removing all the crap that had been done to the house over the years and the discovery of burned areas revealing there had also been a fire in the house. It is nice to see the framework finally covered and the actual dimensions of the rooms revealed. The potential that you had imagined so long ago and have worked so hard to complete. I was having a hard time seeing but now . . . there it is.
Like you, I like a white pallet to decorate with.
You are so right. I after years convinced my wife to go white. Bought a little Bosch airless sprayer. Finished the lounge an dining room and bathrooms. Plumbing was a challenge as we gave a brick house. Bought a wall chaser and all is well. We did all our own art and inherited furniture and other sentimental goodies. How I am enjoying the process. Next its the kitchen, me wood paint and having a ball.
Keeps me busy as I am now on two years of disability retirement, into my 60's which slow me down some days, but watching you just and others like you just motivates me to just get up and continue. Thank you for all the sharing for the tips and talks. Especially your approach to commonsense. 🤗🇿🇦
Love your music choices. Your patience and attitude toward the covered electrical boxes is commendable and appreciated.
You are my inspiration. Been watching you for 6 years. Thanks for sharing
Loved the music while you were cutting out that socket. Nice touch didn't go unnoticed.
Currently painting my house flat white, ripping out and replacing all doors architrave skirting, with plain wood because I love wood and wood doesn't chip... bringing out the grain with Danish oil.
With you on flat matt, Easy to maintain, looking at how much care you've put into this house, I do hope whomever lives there appreciates the attention to quality, from electrics, plumbing, insulation you've given it, and takes care of it... love the lil side porch, if you had a hobby like art painting, it's so light it's perfect.. ditto photography... particularly like the Georgian bar windows... its going to be warm safe and energy efficient for the person lucky enough to call it home. I'd only sell if I needed money to buy another fixer upper... keep capital if you can.
Well done, I've so enjoyed this house renovation... love that you rescue the pre loved... you see what it could be...to me that's worth it all day.
( please excuse the British descriptions of things)
Have a great Christmas 🎄 to you and the family and your Dad always nice to see him helping... and yes simplisafe is in my future but at the moment I'm still renovating x
This project and others got me through post surgery blues this past December and January. I love seeing the progress.
I haven’t bought a house but I’m in the middle of remodeling a lab/pharmacy in a veterinary clinic for horses. It’s in an old modular barn. It’s been a challenge at every step dealing with unexpected issues related to rust, rot, non traditional building surfaces, uneven concrete, etc. thanks to watching channels like yours, the seemingly impossible has been accomplished step by step. I’ve gone from a complete novice to people wanting to hire me for countless projects when they see the transformation. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I've been following since the start of your $9K house renovation. The thing I appreciate most about your videos is how realistic they are, you run into various issues, troubleshoot and move on. There's always going to be little surprises and the need for more tools, money, time etc.
You asked near the end for input on whether to rent or sell this home and after my recent experience with renting a property, I'd have to encourage you to sell it and not rent. There are really so many moving parts when you get down to it, no one is going to care for the house like you did. There are good renters out there, but no guarantees. Maybe if you hired a management company and had multiple properties it would be manageable and profitable.
But I say sell it and move on to your next project without stressing about who is or isn't doing crazy stuff in your rental.
Can't wait to see this finished project!
"The attitude" LOL my attitude would have been MUCH worse! :-) you are forgiven. What an awesome job! House is looking AMAZING
Giving that Umpa Loompa vibe after the spraying...jk...love these videos. Great vid.
I love your outlook on bringing old houses back into good repair to avoid new housing additions on farmland.
I completely agree! I tell my wife the same thing! A great color scheme is white walls and wood trim and wood furniture. But I'll also suggest you need to include green house plants! White, wood, and green all work well together!
Thank you Simpli Safe for your support of Homemade Home.
too many people are in a huge rush... I totally respect your decision to have how you want to live being the thing that steers the job vs the job steering your life. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas + New Year.
White’s awesome! Clean, bright, fresh and easier to decorate for a renter. 😃
Awesome job on this house. You definitely have the gift of "vision" on these houses, but more importantly, the skills to bring them to life.
I admire you so much.
The white is great. Love the sunroom.
In the beginning it was rather rough, but now it is a cute little house. It is going to be a great find for someone.
I get what you mean. We talk about that all the time about how I would love to save as many as I can. But I love the wood trim with white walls. I’m a Sears catalog home historian. Basically the same trim and color style your talking about. Love it.
You have done a fantastic job on this renovation.
My current favorite paint color is Valspar Urban Sunrise in Satin finish. The color hides wear well and the finish makes cleaning easier. I have a lot of kids/people living in my house and need both of those perks. I’ve never been a fan of the tan/beige colors and I see they are making a comeback. No thank you lol 😂. The dramatic difference in a remodel after drywall is up is huge. We live in a farmhouse that was built in 1901. It took us forever to get to the drywall part but when we did I cried. It finally looked like a home. It seemed to go very fast at that point too. You’ve done amazing on this house.
It looks great. I agree with you on using off-white flat paint throughout. It makes a perfect background for any color theme of the furnishings. It also does create the illusion of space. What a landmark. Great phase in any remodel project.
Painting’s such a dramatic stage towards a finished look. Fabulous! I like to stuff all receptacles and vents with newspaper before spraying.
I have been watching this house since you started it...wow it's amazing now....are you feeling that joy and satisfaction of a job well done? you should....
It really is exciting to see this place get to complete and be a livable home.
All these angles make the rooms so interesting, well done!
Isn’t it amazing what a little, paint, drywall, new doors, new walls, new wiring, new layout, lots of hard work and sweat not to mention money and time can do for a little house!
Clever girl.
I am one of those commentators that watched your videos along with some other channels, then partnered w a buddy to flip/rent houses. Thanks for the motivation.
Pat on the back, great job, and all of that... but also popping in to help the algorithm engagement, and say thanks for providing some long term viewing while I have been physically recovering from a very significant medical surprise. It's been two years now getting back on my feet (literally), so thank you for the moments of zen and vicarious returns to physical project work.
Super interesting as ever, and with your usual skill, humility and entertaining ease! I hope you keep the house to rent . Wow on your 14 hour stint!! Great video. 🇬🇧👋🇺🇸
Wow the last time I watched was Eps 53. You have gotten a lot done. Nice job. 👍
I completely agree with your renovating vs new developments ideas. There are perfectly useful properties out there with all the character ppl ask for these days. Your intentions are purposeful, economical & ecologically sound. Thx for caring.
those greicos are nice. i have the same machine. i like to put it in a couple gallons of water first thing and spray the floor where it meets the wall before i paint. it keeps all the dust and any crap stuck to the floor so it wont blow up onto the wall when i spray the paint. i tape the hinges with blue tape first. any overspray i keep a gallon of isopropyl alcohol around. comes right off.
i still would have given the kitchen that entire wall where the bathroom door is and put the bath door just to the right as you enter from the breezeway. left hand swing it in
Thats a good idea, I blasted dust and junk into the wet primer a bunch of times and will have to go back and sand it out before painting. Even vacuumed good before starting, water is a good idea.
As someone who started painting at 12 years old with my stepfather and also worked for a major paint manufacturer in sales and specification for 15 years, You definitely don't need an additional primer over that PVA in the bathroom. If you think it needs another coat of primer, just do another coat of PVA. Where you'll get your mold resistant and moisture resistant benefits are in the top coat. Use a top coat intended for bathrooms and it'll last.
Always a pleasure to watch. Wishing you the best going forward.
It looks fabulous! White is definitely the best choice!
All white is perfect for a rental. Anyone can live in that. Any other color and the people living there are constantly reminded that it's not their color. Perfect for selling it too because of the brightness and opening effect. And if you're living in it, it's good too because you can take your time to decide where colors go when you do paint another color, instead of just going for it and realizing it's a bit much and you're stuck with it because you're not going to fix it right away.
Appreciate you talking about how you're not that efficient of a worker either. I totally feel the same way about myself. I don't like to rush things and I like to take my time and make sure I do a good job. Some people don't like that and don't care how good of a job they are doing. I always misjudge the amount of time it takes to do something too. I think it's because when you're working on a project that's new, you don't know how it's gonna go. So when you're planning out the things that you do know, you're only planning for like half of what is actually gonna happen and the other half is the unknown. And when you come across the unknown, it's gonna take some extra time to figure out.
Really lovely home. Very cosy. I love homes like this they leave the big Mc chucks homes for dead,. Colour champagne cream half strength on the ceiling.
Looking great, coming together, take no issue as it's YOUR house!
The house really is looking great. It’s amazing what things look like when finishes start getting applied. Proud for you. Merry Christmas!
I love the phrase "I dont want my job to steer the way I live my life" it's awesome
35:30 I think you're underestimating how good you are at what you are showing. Sure, maybe it's experience and being handy and not some miraculous skills, but take it from your audience who's probably mostly made of the DIY crowd in the first place: you're doing a good job.
So happy your back! It looks great. Now the pretty begins.
Thank you Simplisafe for sponsoring the best channel on UA-cam! The house looks great bud, congrats on all the views and hoping you gain millions more in the new year. 14 hours working deserves A huge thanks to you for all that you put into your content and I really hope you understand how much you are loved and appreciated for every moment. Happy holidays and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Merry Christmas! Glad we got to see the painted house by the end of this year. See you next year!
Sorry to hear about one of your houses being broken into and tools taken.. I just recently purchased and set up my SimpliSafe network at a house I'm fixing up for myself. Thanks to your advertising in your videos for them, I now have peace of mind that all of my tools, and the tools my dad is letting me borrow to renovate, will be safe. I would recommend setting up your vacant properties with SimpliSafe for added protection!
What a terrific job. Any tenant will be lucky to be in there. F/when you do sell, it will go quickly because you have done it right. The first apartment I had was painted in shades of white. They appeared white, but each room had a different undertone. In that house I can sort of see a wedgewood green undertone throughout the house. I can't wait to see what is next.
The house looks great. I would love there. I like white or beige walls. I like the kitchen and bathroom layout. And I like the sun porch.
The house looks great, the primer makes a huge difference, I personally like eggshell for walls and a satin finish for kitchen and bathrooms, you can wipe down or clean it if it gets smudged, for the style of home it is white is a perfect color, as you said use artwork, furniture, decorations, area rugs for accents, the home is coming along wonderfully.
Crazy man, dueling ghosts with a broom!🤣 My mother always loved eggshell white with wood trim. I spent too many years in all white apartments. I like color, but I tend to use color on the bottom third of the wall, 18th century style. Having the bottom third painted a strong color means the dirt doesn't show from pets or whatever. The upper part of my walls are white. That keeps things bright and light.
I like the quirkiness of this house. It is a testament to working men who just needed a roof over their family's heads. We are losing so much history as houses like this are being torn down.
LOVE how that went from mess to less in one video. :) looks really fine… 😃
Sherwin William's "Dove White" is a bright/light/warm white, those whites that have blue undertones just feel so stark and institutional.
Wow it's looking really good! I personally like a very light warm gray with slightly warm white trim. I like that side room.
Its coming together beautifully. I'm excited to see the next phase!
What a difference a paint makes 👏
A pat on the back for you again then. Well done. looks great! 👍😁
Every room in my house is a different color. White-on-white just seems very 70s apartment living or hospital to me. But, it's your house and it's looking great. Having just finished a basement myself, I"m all too aware of how much time and effort the work you're doing requires and I salute your tenacity and work ethic.
That little side room would be a great mud room.
Hey, just wanted to tell you and the family happy holidays. I feel like I've watched you grow up. I've been watching for a long time. Love to see you grow and prosper.
So sorry that some low life stole your tools. I have loved this home from the beginning and today it actually looks like a home. Excellent work on your part but the best thing about your channel is your thoughts on work and home. So much wisdom in such a young man it warms my old heart. If I lived in your area I'd be renting this one 4sure. Best to you and your little family during this christmas season.
Painting looks great! What a difference.
Hello. I like the progress of this house, from the bones to walls. Excellent 😊 I wait to see the finish. Have an enjoyable holiday season.
Keep talking, It's not too much on the videos. You're a big help for novice home owners like me. Thank you from the Midwest
:)
I'm sure you have no idea how helpful your thoughts are, especially about how the work gets done and not letting it control your life. Thanks. Very encouraging.
I'm glad they are helpful. Thanks for your comment.
I love white walls. Easy to touch up. Makes the spaces look brighter and bigger. As you said you can add colors with decoration. I like mat finish. So curious how this house will look finished.
Really nice to see progress, so sorry for your breakin, maddening!! The house is looking so nice and bright - I like the white. Flat is a pain so I keep a little quart of touchup paint available, not a big deal. And that little sunroom entry off of the kitchen is awesome. Great work. Don't know how my notifications drop off, I had to search to find you although I've clicked the bell for all notifications. It's gone wonky somehow.
Beautiful. Those vaulted ceilings! I like your ideas about white, but in my own house I like neutral colors, flat paint except in kitchen and bathrooms.
I'm with you on how calm and clean all white walls and ceilings are, especially in a small space. I personally wouldn't do any other colors in that house. It looks so much better now!
Anyone else check their subscriptions every day waiting for the next $9000 house video?
I use linen white in eggshell. It blends well when you have people move in and out and they leave a ton of little holes from pictures and TV's. It also helps disguise less than stellar drywall patches.
I highly recommend getting a large 18” roller for wall paint. It’s life changing. I stopped using a sprayer to paint walls now that I have it. Much cleaner than a sprayer but super fast
I've dislocated my collar bone several times and have a compression fracture in my neck, doing stuff like rolling ceilings and even the walls is very hard for me to do, even if I ignore it hurting at some point it's almost like my arm goes asleep. For me the painting is a quick way to get the paint on, no holding a brush in corners, etc. Then just a quick bankrolling with a semi dry roller. When I've rolled entire houses I thought I was going to die by the end......with that said, I can see how it would be faster and you would not have to mess with the sprayer before and after painting. Quick to start and toss the roller when done.
I have enjoyed your renovation of this house. Mostly I like your Philosophy. Few people are as aware as you are about living a quality life. Happy life.
It looks so great man!
I love a flat white finish! Put out as many videos as you want. I will watch every single second of every video you post.
I’ll tell you buddy, you have really done a fantastic job on this house. I’ve watched your other projects, but this is the first one I’ve been with since the beginning. You have really done a transformation on this house. You almost make me believe I could do this. We’ll see. Merry Christmas, and we’ll see you in the New Year!
Great job again. Watching your videos encouraged me doing drywall in my own house even though I hate plastering and mud.
And it came out great. My wife shows around pictures of jt being proud "my man did this" 🤗
I agree with a light color for my 1934 home, I didn't like some of the colors they had. I also have lived in apartments most of my adult life or rental houses. They are always beige, tan, or off white. All of which I am sick of. So I decided to go with a light gray for ceilings and walls. Instead of off-white, which is more dirty looking. Then picked one accent wall in some of my rooms. In the living room I used a darker gray behind the tv and around the fireplace. It looks good and touch up is light gray most places. To add color to rooms, I use curtains with the original quarter sawn woodwork (unpainted). That way if we get tired of a color we can change the curtains, but the light grays still works with so many other colors. Our home feels bright and open. With the darker gray wall behind the tv, it is easier to see and the wall not reflecting as much light to compete with th tv. It also demostrates the focal point of the room. I dont know what colors you like, but white works too. Please just dont use off-wight or beige? Beige is like burgandy and brown cars, they make lots of them, but most people wouldnt pick those colors. I think the house is really turnung out well.
The house is fine, the little side room great for winter flowers. And many other things.
Bathroom in kitchen-sometimes a compromise is necessary in older houses.
The only thing I think would make better if you make the entry porch in one porch. Would be greatly enhance the usability and the front esthetic of the house. I know the meter is there, but I would raise it up. Period.
It just would make the house to another level.
Once when we were fixing up a little house to rent a neighbor came over and said "You saved this house." I always remember that. So congrats to you, you SAVED another house.
Looks so nice and fresh!
I’ve been here since the beginning and this house looks so good. I don’t like shiny paint. Go for eggshell. Not super flat and not shiny. I like the sun porch. I could see a little hand built bench to hang backpacks, coats, and shoes there.
Joy. Now time to ditch the Tyvek getting the siding trim done. Let the sunshine in!
Nice job! Sun porch is great for lots of things, yes mud room & coat storage, putting kids bicycles & lawn toys, dog leash, benches for shoes umbrellas, sports equipment, and of course sitting & drinking coffee.
Coming along real nice!👍 I hope your potential renters take care of your house that took so much time to do.
Thanks for sharing this. Its helpful to see this from the beginning ... wow just wow
A transformational moment when the place really begins to come to life. Congrats on reaching this point. Agree with your positive assessment of flat white. The ease of spot repairs later seems especially relevant to a rental.
Flat white. So much easier to repaint after your renters move out. Kids are destructive to walls so flat white is the best. House is looking great. Merry Christmas!
The walls look great!!!
Even though it is a rental I'd use satin paint. My experience with how easily flat get looking dirty then you have to be careful when cleaning the wall so the paint doesn't wash off...maybe I had too cheap of paint? I like that the enclosed porch/entry remained. Having a place where coats, jackets shoes can go helps keep the living room 'nicer'. And nothing wrong with the main floor powder room where it is. I think it's awkward having the only bathroom accessible only through a bedroom.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Be well!!
Thanks, same to you.
Looks absolutely amazing! What a transformation from what it used to be to what it is now…can’t wait to see the trim and flooring go in! And I agree with your sentiments, why not bring something like this back to life than build a whole new development in a farmer’s field. I’m getting so tired of seeing farm after farm and any other piece of land being turned into some crappy new housing development. Where I live in upstate South Carolina it’s getting ridiculous. You see acerage for sale and next thing you know there’s a builder proposing a new subdivision!
Happy Holidays and New Years to you and your family. Been watching your videos for several years now, and really enjoy seeing how you transform a place, make use of what’s there (as much as possible) and creatively tackle challenges. Very inspiring and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your hard and good work. And your straight forward and relational communication is also a big plus . Mahalo from Kauai
You're an inspiration. Keep up the good work!
Can't wait to see an update on this house..
