this is a VERY important video for any amateur DIYers to watch. Open-concept houses are designed to be that way. Everyone wants an open-concept house for whatever reason, and you can make your house open-concept, but it takes a LOT of work and precision. I've seen too many times DIYers just ripping out walls and seeing it literally all fall down around them. If you don't know what you're doing, or unsure, then definitely reach out to the appropriate people! This man is taking all the right steps, and explaining it in an easy to understand way, so take his words to heart and please please please consult a structural engineer! Please!!!
@@HB-600 No walls yet but I did tear down that god awful breakfast bar and made a counter height peninsula in the kitchen. I redid my kitchen myself and also added a small island and extra cabs that were repurposed from the house next door to me. I was able to reno my kitchen for about 13k since I didn’t get all new cabs. So that’s something 😊
Very cool and informative! Thank you for this! Notice you went with 84 lumber instead of Menards...good call! Maybe unrelated question, but how can you tell if wall is load bearing if you have trusses that change direction? I know I need architect.
@damonunderwood813 brother do you know what's a DRYWALL HANGER AND A DRYWALL FINISHER, IT MIGHT NOT BE HARD. ITS THE QUALITY YOU GIVE TO CUSTOMERS. ALSO TO BE A DRYWALLER NEED EXPERIENCE OR THE DRYWALL FINISHER WILL CHARGE MORE FOR CRAP WORK. anyways. BE safe.
Those sheets of drywall are heavy! I have a ton of respect for anyone in the trades. There is so much learning, skill, craftsmanship, and back breaking labor involved.
@HB-600 I just reply to your. Way of responding DUDE IT'S DRYWALL! HOW HARD CAN IT BE. And I what I said, it's if you need a DRYWALL FINISHER WITH OVER 18 YEARS OF EXP. NOT COUNTING MY 5 YEARS OF APPRENTICE, LIKE I said. Be safe brother. Also I know how hard it's to hang drywall...

that was so much fun removing the kitchen ! Great series so far Bart
Glad you enjoyed it! And we loved having you! Thanks for all the help !!
I am so happy my 90s home was an open floorplan already! This seems like a ton of work!!!
Im sure you could find a wall or two to take down still! ;) Is it a custom home or builder home?

That sounds like a lot of work!
@@HB-600 It was but it’s done now.
It gave me a few ways to do open plan in our house.
Glad it helped. Good luck my friend
That drywall removal would have been so much fun! Your build is amazing
Great information. Thanks!

Can you do this in a two story home?
What's the difference between glu-lam beam and micro-lam beams? What is holding up the 2 GLB at the junction?
Microllam is a pricey LVL.
when is the next episode ?
Just put one out today
