I'm wondering why you are getting rid of all the beautiful paneling which would be extremely expensive to replace these days? Also, when you first bought the house, you were excited about all the cool mid-century modern features but now all the personality is gone. Confused....
@@lz738 It's all water-damaged, it wouldn't be safe to keep. I'm sure whatever she decides to replace it with will have lots of great personality!
I can’t agree enough I’m on “ The go Jenna team”
why is a news crew showing up? lol
@JennaPhipps you guys should consider placing a time capsule inside one of the walls. Include some photos before redoing it, along with some pop culture of the time.
43 year old man here…The first video i watched on this channel was this young “kid” announcing that she bought a complete wreck of a house. Not only am i so impressed and proud of Jenna for not getting overwhelmed with this project and sticking with it through the hardest part…..I’ve also started crocheting a blanket. Lol 🙃
You completely fucking rock, Jenna!! 🤘
That is so wholesome dude😭 good luck with the blanket!
@@aurelio5768 thanks! 😂 hopefully it’ll be done by NEXT winter. Lol
That’s awesome! I also recently started to crochet, definitely inspired by Jenna and others on here!
Same here, started with the house announcement and now I am crocheting while watching every Jenna video to have ever been made ahaha
This comment wins the internet today! ❤
As someone who's had to remove architecturally significant features during a renovation because of health and safety concerns, I understand everyone's sadness about seeing the paneling go. Given the long-term exposure to moisture shown by the mold and evident water damage to the walls, this was 100% the right call. Better to open everything up and be sure before spending ten's of thousands of dollars on other finishes.
I saw the "I want to keep everything" happen with Laura Kampf: completely idealistic about keeping original details and then finding out time after time that it was a safety hazard and there's no way she could keep it as is.
No arguments. I have a habit of trying to save as much as I can to save budget, so we’re always doing triage as we pull things apart. Anything contaminated with mold goes, anything that looks like it could be machined and reused, we set it aside.
Absolutely! I’m in the same boat with my century old home. I tried to keep as much of its old charm and beauty, and now I’m dealing with serious mold toxicity problems that robbed years of my life, years I should have been chasing my kids around and enjoying their childhood. Mold is too downplayed, the risks are too high, some pretty mid-century paneling just isn’t worth it
Exactly.
The black mould was a serious health hazard. It all needs to be stripped back.
It would be nice to see a new wall with paneling put in (maybe in that rec room) as an homage to the original. The white bare wall is overdone anymore.
The sad part about the paneling is not that you have to take it off but that the family let such a beautiful house mold away. What a loss.
This! So sad that they didn’t do minimal upkeep so that the beauty coud be preserved and simply maintained or updated as needed by new owners
I was thinking that too. These two are getting so much heat for the reno, but I'm rather mad at the previous owners for their poor stewardship.
Things happen in people’s lives, don’t judge without info. 😊
Paneling could have been saved, at least some of it. Very pricey to purchase now, especially teak, cedar.
Yeah I know they need to see what’s behind the walls because the state of the house, but couldn’t they have taken the wood off carefully?
Instead of burying this as a comment to a comment, the walls with diagonal bracing are likely shear walls. This keeps the wall from racking, where the wall can twist diagonally and the rectangle shape of the wood in the wall turns into a parallelogram. Shear walls prevent the house from tipping over when there is a wind load on the exterior walls. That divider wall may be keeping that post from tipping when a wind load is transferred to a horizontal force on the beam that the post is supporting. The post needs to resist that horizontal force and transfer the force to the foundation. There may be other ways to transfer the force without that entire wall, but a structural engineer has to design that. It may be possible to have a smaller wall with a structural steel panel, but the foundation would need to be adequate.
I'm not sure what the earthquake risk is there, but if there's such a risk, as long as the structure is exposed, it would be a good time to bring it up to current earthquake code. The city might require that anyway once they know the scope of the work being done.
Also, it was a good move to remove the paneling. Without drywall behind the paneling, it's too easy for fire to get into the structure and for the house to collapse before people are able to escape. That house, as built, was a firetrap. Modern fire code also requires blocking in tall walls to prevent fires inside the walls from going far, such as the wall by the stairs. Most houses never experience a fire, but modern code makes survival more likely in the houses which do experience a fire.
Improving the building to modern code may also reduce your insurance bills.
Besides the good points above another big advantage of removing the paneling is being able to properly insulate and air seal the exterior walls.
This needs to be a top comment so that she sees!
Really good advice!
All of BC is considered high risk for earthquake.
You explained that VERY well: thx!
I can only imagine how much moisture and mold is in the paneling. I think for their health they needed to remove it. Good job!
Yeah, this house had waaaay too many chronic moisture issues to be able to keep it up. (Let alone updating the electrical, HVAC, etc.) It’s definitely sad, though, because it looks like on the interior wall (maybe) that wood was pristine. Maybe some of it can be salvaged.
You can dry out the panelling and resand it. It would've saved at least some of the wood.
Yeah, they are already risking their health taking it apart.
as long as the water wasn't trapped against that wall it should be good. the panelling was in a place that got plenty of air flow
How much moisture is in the paneling?
Yes.
Nic standing in the back like kid telling their mum they threw up had me cackeling
"I was coughing dust"
I frew up 🧍🏻♂️
I thought he farted 😂
‘Also this video might be boring’ girl, never! How dare! 💚
Not boring at all we're here to see the process.
I was like OMG THESE VIDEOS COULD NEVER BE BORING! I'm very invested in all of this.
Jenna you could never be boring
These videos are the only reason I am here…
It's wild to me how DRAMATIC some folks are over wood paneling on a house that was a good candidate for complete demolition. Firstly, it's not worth the health risk for themselves or their loved ones. Secondarily, it's not an architectural detail crafted by a specialized craftsperson that is hard to come by these days; and thirdly, it's not their money or their house. All of this work is terribly expensive, are these folks willing to donate their own money to the cause or just talk about how they are CRYING over wood paneling? Sheesh.
It is their house- remember? She bought it. I just started binge-watching the series, so it’s fresh in my memory.
@@Amishland_Chateau Yeah, I know she bought it, hence the reason why I think it's ridiculous how many folks are getting their knickers in a twist.
I wish you could have kept that paneling but look at that last one, covered in mold. I’m so excited to see how you rebuild this!
If it’s anything like how she styled her apartment, we’re in for a treat! 😍
Removing the banister may sound like a good idea, but its a terrible one. The danger of falling on a construction site is such that even when building they add temporary ones. Aside from that the house looks great. Great job!
I agree my old apartment had a removable banister for bringing up large pieces of furniture to the second floor. Anytime I removed it, I'd put it back up a few days later, but the time in between, I'd always almost fall off the stairs.
I agree. Fall protection is needed to prevent serious injuries.
For anyone that doesn't get that falling down stairs can kill you (I shouldn't have to say that but...ya know how people are...) Its like 2 or 3 feet of height and you falling from that can kill you. It generates enough force to snap your neck or give you serious brain damage.
@@Smokkedandslammed My uncle lost his balance on stairs, fell, and landed on his left hip joint which had to be surgically replaced.
Right, they can put in a temporary one, with gaps large enough to fit smaller materials through (like those wall panels) and/or a railing which can be easily popped off for larger materials.
I'd lean toward leaving those masks on until you are 100% certain you've gotten all of the mold taken care of. I'm loving this series and so here to watch it all come together! Keep up the great work!!
My son walked in on me watching your demo/ Reno video. He asked me why and laughed. He's a carpenter. He thought it was funny because I always watch sewing crafting videos and now I'm watching these demos. It's a whole new genre of content. I love it! I'm excited everytime you have a new video posted.
Maybe he can be a new subscriber 😊 or feedback. I love this project but Jenna - are you taking breaks? Even not for filming , I hope you are creating!
Have you seen Shannon Makes?
RIP everyone who was hoping they would save the paneling.
Not to mention keeping any original features! So much for being a cekebrated, architect designed home!
Probably full of mold and they can't.
There seemed to be quite a few mice/rats/squirrel nests in the home. Probably full of urine and poop.
They are definitely not looking at this as a historical restoration but we really can't blame them. It's just amazing that the structure of the house is sound. I just recall a lot of people at the beginning commenting about numbering the boards when they take them down. Nope, no numbering here.
@@thebarefoothobbit Agreed on black mold. However, interior walls don’t typically have that problem, and all of that came out really cleanly. I’d bet a lot of it was reusable. Ah well.
Although I agree that the paneling needed to go because of moisture and mold, being a woodworker I am cringing the whole time watching. The mold doesn't penetrate very deep. Those boards can be run through a planer, skim a little off and used for a jillion great projects.
Boxes of all kinds. Keepsake boxes, jewelry boxes, small tool boxes or organizers, trays, wall art and tons of other things. Reclaimed lumber is totally useful. That was beautiful paneling and someone in the area would just love to make use of it. If I lived close by I'd be there in a flash with a trailer to grab as much as possible before it got tossed or burned.
Please try to find someone or somewhere to donate it. It could still have a beautiful life and make someone very happy.
that's what I was thinking!! i am not a carpenter but I was wondering if they could make something nice out of these woods instead... like a fence
I was thinking the same thing. A little TLC, and they’d be useful for a variety of projects.
No. Even if you can't see the mold - it's there.
Looked like clear fir. The amount that got tossed is worth a mint.
@FS-zl9mh Most of those boards were still dry enough to only have surface mold, if any. I would have zero problem running them through a planer and using the material for almost any project. I may think twice about an item that would have raw food on it, but not much else. Once it's been planed, cut, sanded and finished, there would be nothing to worry about. I still wish I lived close by.
Glad you didn’t remove railing - seemed to be a dangerous suggestion as you have limited sight moving all the paneling and soon all of the insulation.
Just after I wrote this Nick fell on the stairs 😳 glad he was alright.
You really have to treat this project as if it were a radioactive site. Between the lead paint, the mold spores, the gypsum board dust, the animal feces .... You should probably have HAZMAT outfits on.
Yeah seriously people are not realizing the dangers in this house.
I believe in another video she said she had the house tested for lead and it came back negative.
Why are they not wearing their full respirator face masks? I’m worried about my children, please use safe practices Jenna, we’re all worried about your health
Edit: was only halfway through the video when I made this comment. Masks are back on :)
@kristinas998 I dont think it was lead paint they tested for. I think it was asbestos.
People have been telling her for weeks - she doesn't listen. God help her - mold toxicity is no joke. You can be out for years.
Can someone explain to me why my generation (younger gen Y/older gen Z) and beyond love open floor plans so much? I've lived in an open floor plan house since I was 10 years old, and while it's beautiful, there are some significant downsides.
I miss having walls. They serve so many functions I didn't think about when we moved from our 1927 craftsman to our 1974 Pacific Northwest Regional style house. Walls give you places to hang art, places to put bookshelves, cabinets, and other storage. They divide space and make it easier to arrange furniture. Walls create private spaces where you can concentrate on work or studying, play music without disturbing people, cook without getting the atomized steam and grease everywhere. It's easier to heat or cool selected spaces when you have walls to keep things separate.
When we're able to get a house, I'll be excited to find one from this era or earlier when people appreciated distinct spaces with distinct functions and purposes. So many where I live have been renovated to have all the walls between the kitchen, living, and dining rooms ripped out. There's no privacy, no noise isolation, no mess containment, and the kitchen has most of its storage removed. I hope we can find one that's still mostly intact.
Amen!
I agree. I like rooms, seperate rooms.
remember how they have like 4 bedrooms upstairs and 4 downstairs? i think the middle floor open is great. They probably prioritize parties/hosting over heating or sound effeciency. i need walls if its just two bedrooms on the same floor as everything else, too.
OMG Same. I know the big views of open floor plans are appealing, but they are hard to heat & cool, no privacy, sensory overwhelm if more than 2 people are doing different things anywhere in the house, and everything has to match vs. having separate individual spaces. No storage. Give me nice private mid-sized rooms any day. And the kitchen must have a door because the foodz stay in the kitchen, the sardines do not need to be infiltrating the couch 2 rooms away with their delicious but potent sardine smellz (so says my cat).
I agree totally! My kitchen is always a bit messy and I like to keep it somewhat hidden from view. You’re right bout open plan homes being difficult to heat.
As much as I realize that because of the general state of decay of the house, it makes complete sense to take everything down to studs. It will allow you to redesign and customize this house for your needs and wants, get rid of any uninvited residents, and make sure everything is safe and sound. I do, however, always feel somewhat sad when you have to take out the beautiful wood paneling that was the defining feature of a mid-century modern house. That being said, I admire your desire to tackle this, and am looking forward to watching your house transform into a HOME!
Yeah, I was just thinking that it probably feels easier to redesign the home! Like, it looks like they're adding a window where some panelling was. I'm loving this slow-burn HGTV series!
Nick has soooo much general knowledge of such random things, it’s gotta be so nice to have him around for all your questions!
its like "dad knowledge" lol
I'm so impressed by how much progress you have made already! It is so much fun to watch you two work and the support you give each other! The house is going to be beautiful when it's all done!
Your camera work is exceptional! Many don't realise how much work goes into getting all those different angles and editing ❤
Amazing all the silly conversation they have between them 😂😂😂. I love it! Nick is so cute: "you look so good". Jennick fan's club here. 😂😂
My heart melted when he said she looks so good in the lightning ❤
Smashing a mercury switch (in the thermostat) is NOT a great idea. Also, your cleanup work would be MUCH easier with a push broom. Other than that, great progress!
I get so excited every Wednesday for this moment
Your music choices are great. I'd love it if you listed them in the description for easy reference.
one of the songs is hello ramona by chase mcbride, and one of the others is bustle in the crowd by sleepaway camp! these are the only 2 i bothered finding lol i forget if there are more. but agreed, it would be great if the music was listed in the description!!!
@@hhmegg3021 Thanks for giving song titles
People list the music in the descriptions???
@@Franklin2OO7yes :)
@@Franklin2OO7 Well I think it is nice to acknowledge the musicians. After all, it is their creation.
Wow people have soooo many opinions on this spot, I’m excited to see whatever you guys make of it! How lovely to see a property and home with that spectacular of a view saved 😊
Ikr! Especially when my opinion was that the bf is gorgeous! lol
i hope you put back some paneling it's gives that mid-centry modern especially with the architecture of the house.
Don't hold your breath
Don't think they will. I think they are putting it all in the dump.
I wish they would too but it would cost so much now. I bet it’ll be cost prohibitive in much of the house.
@@lizmarin9568 you want to pay for wood panels then? It's cost alot. This is also about nit go bankrupt as well as get a house
@@inspiredinspirations they are putting the old paneling in the dump, that doesn’t stop them from putting in new paneling lol
That wall dividng the two rooms looks a lot like a shear wall. Its transferring lateral beam loads into the middle of the structure and bracing both walls. I would verify with a qualified engineer before removing that interior wall.
Even if it's a "boring" video, there is something so cozy and satisfying about watching the house transform so thank you for taking us along for the whole ride ❤
Surprisingly I very much enjoyed a video of just removing the paneling - very satisfying, and fun to hear you talk through things and remark on the details and history, and even the architectural blueprints of the house. Looking forward to a video of removing the insulation. Hard to tell from a video if any of the paneling is salvageable for anything… wood is expensive but mold is a health hazard - you aren’t responsible for having to trash the wood -the damage to the house without proper upkeep before you even bought it is the reason you need to tear the house down to the frame. Of course you know this but I felt I needed to write it as so many comments are lamenting the wood. I love that you appreciate so much of the house and are rebuilding within its frame. - that saves a lot of wood and materials!
So removing the wood paneling seems to be a hot topic. It looks like it is 1x4 tongue & groove clear cedar, which, for those concerned, is an outdoor wood and why it's not full of mold or significant damage and can be reused. It''s also "gold" in my opinion in that it can run anywhere from $6 to $10 a LINEAR FOOT. Personally I would've tried to remove it and save it for other rooms like the bedrooms, but it's not my house. One tip I'll offer is since the electricity is off get yourself a "sawzall" and just cut that free-standing wall in 2 foot sections , carry them out to the bin and save yourself the time and cleanup. Just my 2¢. Keep up the good work. Love the progress …
not more like 3/8"? It seems to thin and easy to remove to be 1-by.
It's so thin you can't remove without break alot and then sand down and maybe able to reuse. You maybe has months to do that work where you pay for 2 places but most don't
@@AnniCarlsson it can be done - I know, I’ve done it. It is time consuming because you need to remove it nail by nail and you have to figure out if it’s worth it if you were going to replace it. Is your labor/time equal to the replacement cost plus the bin cost. Just some things to think about before just gutting everything.
@@ChrisRubeo could be, but cedar is a soft wood and it’s usually nailed at the tongue where it’s thinnest. That’s why it’s so easy to take down.
That wall is probably a shear wall keeping that post vertical and resisting wind loads on the structure over the beam. Anything with a diagonal board needs to be considered potential structure.
You’re not just coughing dust, it’s mould spores as well. Please always wear your masks, every time you’re in the house and think of getting air purifiers for the areas where you are working even when wearing masks
You two work so well together. Sad to see the wood go but it was necessary.
With the paneling being so dry and wanting to change the insulation that probably smells from moisture and critters , and changing the wiring , there was no choice IMO to take it down. I can see where the divider wall would make a great place for a bar height counter . Cupboards above and below. Access from both sides. I would go with the color of the fireplace rocks with a marble countertop. You and your crew are making amazing progress. Glad you’re on this adventure, you will have your dream home in no time!
That divider wall may be a structural shear wall, you can tell by the diagonal bracing. It's possible they did that so they could build the wall on the ground and tip it up, but it's more likely there to keep that post vertical and resist wind loads on the structure over the beam the post is holding up. I'm a bit surprised they didn't have to put drywall under the paneling, as that structure needs to keep a fire away from the structure to protect firefighters going on the top of the house. They may not have required that a hundred years ago. But, that house was one giant fire trap.
According to the documentation I can find, the house was built in 1961. There may have been fire code for that wall then but maybe not, a lot of those codes are often newer than I think.
I understand needing to remove the panelling. But to just junk it is what hurts. Especially considering the price of wood, how amazing that panelling is and how much could be easily salvedged.
Also for everyone being sad about losing original features- when there is this much mold and issues with animals, updating really isnt a bad thing!
I hope they save what wood they can. There are places you can donate old building materials they sell and proceeds go to rescue missions and such.
Careful choosing which boards to burn. The moldy ones may release fungus spores you're not going to want to breath in.
Watching you guys do this reno brings back a lot of memories. My husband and I bought a 100+ year old house just before we got married and went room by room doing exactly what you're doing. Don't miss the work but it was fun doing it together.
Hello 👋 sunshine
You two are so patient with each other. My partner and I would be screaming at each other during this project 😅
I was just about to comment that. They are so easy - going! Couldn't be me. ☺️
Maybe if they had been together for 10 years or more it would be a different story. But new relationships, loads more patience. Haha. I do think they have a splendid rapport though because they are both extraordinary characters. I love them both and I do not even know them IRL..
@@deborahhenderson149new relationship but bought a house together?
Stairs safety tip: there are these edge pieces you can nail to the edges of the stairs to make them less slippery. Harder to sweep, but even in fusty/wet /otherwise dirty circumstances you wont slip with grippy stair edges. Also protects the stairs if you want to keep them for later
*dusty
There’s a lot of things in older homes that often need removed for safety & health reasons. Blessing in Disguise - you have a clean slate to do whatever your heart desires! ❤
My husband says that one of those pipes could be bringing the oil from the tank to the main heater, but there would not be four going to the one heater. I thought the pipes were way too small for that, but he grew up with oil heat and he said that the pipe is very small. He thinks that there are probably built-in space heaters in the walls, which was very popular in the 50s.
I don’t believe most of that panelling has any mould on it. It’s bone dry to the point of being brittle and yet mould needs moisture. I can see a lot of it needs to be removed to check what nasties are behind it but at least a large portion of it could have been salvaged to re-use.
I read the news article. Thats so cool! I am so proud that you guys are declining tv offers and making it happen on your own!
I am very satisfied with the extents you went to rebuild the house and get rid of rot&mold! I wish you best of luck and can't even imagine how gorgeous the house will turn out!
I’m so emotionally invested in this house and your journey. Also, please get a push broom. They’re so much faster in the large areas.
I have no idea if this could even be possible, but I think having a bookshelf where the centre divider wall was previously could be really cool! This way, you could still maintain a bit of separation while not having to sacrifice the look of an open plan (added bonus: huge amount of storage)
I've said it elsewhere, but that wall is likely a shear wall keeping that post from tipping over. It's a structural dividing wall.
Your videos are never boring with your great personalities and editing style.
I could watch them demo/reno this house all day! They're so entertaining!!!
Hey guys, I work in construction and the amount of time we waste moving clients stuff or double handle stuff on site for the client to keep or it will be binned later anyway. Please just put it straight in the bin. You will always be able to order another bin. We have a 60 day to fill the bin before u next to exchange it or pay more to have it longer. Also make a Constuction plan. Get all the demo done that fits with that plan. U will always be making waste so it’s handy having a bin on site u can continue to fill. Last thing love watching u guys get stuck in and give it a go. It’s a very kiwi thing to do in our country. Good luck with the rest of the project. NZ viewer
Nick should sign his step he slipped on. Also, you should leave little trinkets and notes throughout the house for the next remodel :)
somehow these videos are never boring
So I understand that you have to take the paneling down to get the old insulation out, because of mold. But couldn't you reuse the wood panels?
I am so amazed and fascinated by the kindness you too have when you talk to each other ! Even when you're doing the most tiring tasks for the house.
You pair are made for each other!!! ❤❤❤ wish your vids were longer! I’d happily watch more dry wall removal. Gotta wait a whole week now for the next installment 😢
After getting a better view of that beam, it looks like there are two coming together right on top of that undersized post, and they are not flush. I would say an engineer would want a true 6x6 post and to make sure the beam is properly tied together to keep it from sagging like it is.
I was concerned with how moldy it was. I think your idea of an engineer is an excellent one. The fact the house has been poured rainwater on for years would make me want an engineer to go over thd structure with a fine toothed comb.
Yes, I was surprised not to see a mending plate there.
I don’t know if it might be but I think that is a shear wall, the cross brazing might indicate it but it might just be aesthetic.
Depends what the plans say. Sad to see the interior gutted but I can’t wait to see what will become of the interiors
Not to be a downer but I would love it if you both could visit a pulminologist and ENT once all the old stuff is out of there. It would give many of us peace of mind. So glad you put the masks back on!
I know u guys think videos like this are boring. But I actually loved this video, this is so relaxing just watching you figure things out and ripping things apart. Don’t worry I love that you post videos like this ☺️
Slightly hurts to see all that beautiful wood destroyed.
I agree, but sadly they had major mold & carpenter ants throughout the house 😢
Yeah, that wood was already gone, destroyed by the prior owners who didn't properly maintain the house.
I feel the same. I understand the mold issue, but I would have tried to restore it 🥹
@@lifeonmakeup6458so you don‘t understand the mold issue
Can you save some of the paneling to use as an accent somewhere in the kitchen/living room or dining room? The paneling is nice wood, and would be good to save a little of the original history of the house
and save a little bit of the original water/ mold problems?
@@saaaaskia LMAO
@@saaaaskianone of it looked to have any moisture or mold (see how it snaps vs a wet wood would bend). It’s also very easy to make wood panels safe again by shaving down any moldy parts. People restore wood all the time. It’s very common for people who are actually restoring antique homes.
So sad you couldn’t salvage any of the paneling. That’s high quality tongue and groove, not the crappy sheet paneling. Looks like it was teak too. 😥😥 mine is walnut veneer. Very dark and covers two rooms entirely. Feels like a cave. I’m removing all but one “accent” wall (nod to the original house build) and using the rest I can in the basement.
Wish the U.S. had better reclaimed material economy like Western Europe. It would take more time but that paneling could have been saved and someone else use it.
Think they’re in Canada.
@@sophiag612 Canada needs the same.
I know it had to be done, but it's still heart breaking to see all the panelling gone and all that wood going in the rubbish. Nick has quickly grown so comfortable with the camera, he's now got his own segment. Nicks fun facts 😂
Sooooo gutted to see the panelling gone :( Totally understand it had to go, but it's so sad to see it taken out. I'm sure your completed renovation will have an homage to the panelling somewhere! :)
Really love the lightness in this room now, personally I wouldn't put back the wall.❤❤❤
I can't help but find all parts of this project exciting, it is so cool to see the house stripped back - never apologize for being boring, this is incredible to watch!!
You found a whole new audience with these house videos my dude, I'm in it to watch you take paneling off walls!
This video was not boring at all, I actually found this pretty entertaining! I also love how dedicated yall are to this house.🙂
I love that you guys are getting in there and doing this yourself, learning as you go. You are doing a great job, tough decision have to be made sometimes like RIP panels. Love watching this!!!
I absolut LOVE this "boring" videos!!!
Please show us more!
I liked that you turned down volume of the music, so that its in balance with your talking. Also I like ,boring‘ renovation videos like this. Its so relaxibg! 😍
You're smart to do a gut job on the house and make sure there are not problems lurking beneath the walls. If you want originally styled items that are stores that make reproductions of the wood paneling and all that stuff. I hope you guys are keeping that stonework. It's so beautiful.
It is a shame to lose the paneling but with all the water damage don’t think it could be avoided
The sad part was seeing the paneling coming down. That was the best part of the house. It's going to cost so much to replace, mostly now that everyone wants mid century homes in Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA
This is coming along great Jenna. It’s sad all the paneling has to be removed, but I’m sure the house is going to look incredible.
her partner so caring and happy to explain stuff to her
I love watching this series while crocheting!! It’s so cool and inspiring to watch your progress, can’t wait to see what happens with this beautiful project in the future!🫶🏽
As much as we would all love to see you save all that paneling, we know with the amount of mould and damp and pests living in that house it needed to come out.
I knew this day would come and yet i was not emotionally ready. It still hurts watching the panels go but it must be done. Good work.
Be careful if you're actually burning the wood, if there's paint or lacquer on it, it's not safe to burn!
I can't wait to see the end result because the open space is giving NEW HOME LIFE...🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻
First of all, your videos are never boring AND b) I love the music so much. So relaxing and cozy. Perfect music for the content ❤
You are not boring. It’s so exciting to watch you transform this home.
No matter what I watch from your channel you bring such a joy in me. You're such a comforting UA-camr.
I will like and comment on every darn vid you put out on this series. So darn cute watching the two of you working, great energy! Looking forward to the building up process afterwards!
I don't get why people are complaining about the wood paneling. Many beautiful original features are unsafe to keep around, and it wouldn't be ethical selling them. If anyone's to blame it would be the people who let the house get to this state, not them? They're literally trying to save a house that was rotting away.
Finally someone said it. They’re the ones investing their time, money, energy, and resources in restoring that home when most wouldn’t venture starting that rehab.
You are going to have such an amazing house when it is all done. You guys are machines and have do so much to it already. Yes it is the demo part, but dang you guys have been working hard. Love following your progress!
With the state the roof was in I'm really surprised that so much of the structure of the house was actually okay. I hope you can salvage as much of it as you were hoping from the beginning. You guys are doing a great job.
You guys are the cutest.. so proud of the hard work you are doing, I look forward to the renovations every week!! 😄
Jenna you and your partner are inspiring. Anybody dissing Gen Z needs to meet these young people. My genz kids make me proud in the same way: hardworking, reasonable and goal driven !
My daughters and I cuddle up every Sunday and watch your updates!!
Jenna, although you may think that this may be a boring video, it is in fact, not boring. I love watching the process of you getting so much done in the house! Congratulations! Its so exciting to see it come down to the bones! I can't wait to see the rest of the journey!
Jenna and Nick I love how you to work well together! Great job!
This video was so calm and chill love it
You guys look so cute in your matching overalls, carring the wood panels together
This is such a good relationship building activity for you guys. If you can get through this, you can get through parenthood no problem
I realize it was necessary to pull out the paneling to fix and clean what was behind it, rewire the home etc., but it's just so sad. All that beautiful old growth wood. As Jenna noted, those panels were immensely long and no doubt very expensive--thing is, I doubt you could even buy them anymore. I would've moved heaven and earth to clean, sand and either put it back, or sell it to someone who would be overjoyed to find such a treasure. We live in a wasteful and uncaring culture. When that house was being destroyed by its ruined roof, inhabited presumably by some dementia-ridden old person, where were other family members? Where were the neighbors, even? Why did nobody help that person? It doesn't cost much to at least tarp a home to prevent further damage. It should've been done decades ago. So depressing the way nobody cares about anything anymore.
These are all fantastic. I never watched your channel before the first house video, but I look forward to these every week. Great stuff.
