That is So neat! I didn't realize they made jacks large enough to lift an entire house! I love that you guys are being so exact about making sure the house is in tip top shape. It deserves the TLC. When are you all moving in? 😁
We are trying to be exact with structural repairs. Everything we've done here needed to be done years and years ago. If it is let to continue, then the place won't be worth anything. There are a lot of things we are not doing that need to be done like removing all the lath and plaster but those kinds of things do not affect it structurally. None of the work in either of these videos was overly expensive it was just time-consuming and not something that can be done while a tenant is in it. I have wanted to move in here since we looked at it. Don't laugh but it's been the HARDEST decision for me to make, ever. Honestly, I still haven't decided to not move in there. The place is stinkin cool and offers so many options we've never had. Like if I lived there, I'd get the closest duplex side as the Junk Shack, just my crap and a little house to make videos. It's just that our current house is newer. Much more modern construction, and way more energy efficient. Recently completely updated and we have a really cool shed, We live in a court and my grandbabies are a block away. Not to mention the moving part. Packing up and moving again. It makes my head ache thinking about it, but dang... what a great adventure that would be! It's freakin terrible!! LOL! I absolutely LOVE options and hate them as much.
I used to love moving. I'd still do it, but it would be a monumental task at this point. We live in an old house, built by my hubbys grand-dad and great uncles. They squeezed the life out of every penny it took to build it too. For instance, I have double level porches on the front of the house (which I do love) They are held up by 'wooden' columns, except they aren't. What they really are is car axles, welded together end to end and clad in lumber. Very ingenious and back then cost effective, I guess. For what it's worth, I hope you do move. lolol I Love an old house (most of the time) and that one needs a good family to move in and love it back to life. @@rentalsupplemental
