You've made so much progress. I love how you explain everything in detail. That helps us to understand how you made the decisions you did. Some lucky family will have a beautiful home!
SooOOOOOoo many good tips you have shared Barry, and U explain simply and well, thank-you! I especially liked knowing about why NOT to seal around a toilet. When I had 2 move and did some renos B 4 leaving, it was confusing 2 face the different schools of thought = old ways vs new ways. NOW...this wee mind understands = luv that! The flooring is beautiful and HARD 2 choose I know. P. S. Nice hat! :)
Hope you get some sleep and rest from all of the issues coming at you. It will be nice when your project is done. Renovations are always so much more of everything than expected. You guys have done a great job and I hope just the right family buys it with no hassles.
You're doing such an amazing job on this house renovation! Those Studor valves look like a great invention. Unfortunately, I found out that they don't meet code here in Minnesota. However, all the home improvement stores in my area sell them so people must be using them on their own home projects. Looking forward to your final reveal when your renovation is complete!
Get some sleep. You will be no good if you get sick. The house looks nice and everyone has done a great job. This is a super house and we hope it will be a great deal for both you and the buyer. God bless
Sending you blessing of a buyer to step up and want to buy the house quickly. This was a huge project for your family. You all have worked really hard and deserve to have the profits from it. I would very much love to see your barn rebuilt if possible. 🙋🙏🇺🇸🕊
Barry , you should be a teacher, you explain everything well , so very interesting , so much work much more than people see ! You learned well grasshopper ! God BLESS
I like my new electric hot water heater- i have always had them and found the shorter ones to use in mine and my moms mobile home and a shed converted into a tiny house.I got them cheaper online (picked it up at neighborhood store) Whereas the tankless was like $500 each- i only paid like $159 .
Wow you've covered so much! Love the sample flooring you showed near kitchen island 👍 Thanks for explaining the hot water tank stuff and educating us on the reason for proximity to manifold! I'm so excited on everything...you've done so much and coordinated so swiftly -- love the other flooring choice as well (I really would love to live in that house!). Molly is your stealth asset and your father is a Godsend!
You guys are doing such a great job and the way you pay so much attention to every little thing and that you do it the right way is exceptional work if I ever had a place to be redone over I’d surely hire you love how you explain everything .👍🦋🙏
I have honestly never thought about the friction inside a pipe as fluid moves through it. Very interesting stuff and I really learned something today. Well done as usual!
Everything looks great. I just learn so much, and I actually understand what you've done. LOL You're a great teacher. What is the color of the walls Molly is painting in the hallway/kitchen area (probably rest of house) I thought you said 1x but I don't recall. Looks nice.
The house is really taking shape. I love your attention to detail and all the finishes. This is really going to be a beautiful home for someone and their family.
I could see everything so well in this video. A lot of times your video is curved on the sides like we are looking through a tube so it distorts whatever is on the side. I appreciate it being straight in this one.
Ok, sorry, but please explain why there are 2x toilets in that small bathroom. While you may have in past videos, it is now a brain worm after seeing you show where the toilet flange was going to be installed...6 feet from an existing toilet that looks like it may not be going anywhere but simply gaining a friend. I mean i've heard of Jack and Jill toilets, but come on! LOL. Great video. thank you and God bless.
Come on people everywhere, sub to this amazing channel! Don't forget! Maybe people are so excited about your great content, and funny dry humor, that they forget to hit the like button! Get on it folks!
Thanks for explaining all you do as it helps all of us understand things that we get curious about or are attempting to try or the like and I can always come back to your page for reference. That is a very nice feature of YT and you're sharing of your expertise in these building matters....plumbing and etc etc. The house looks great and I love the flooring you selected. The countertops are gorgeous and I cannot wait to see it all done and see that SOLD sign on it.......so excited for you, your wife and parents. It's truly a beautiful home made more beautiful by two very talented fellows, you and your dad!!! God bless you and I hope you share us the studio build when you do it. Exciting things ahead!!!
Why not have a waterheater in the crawl space right under (and for) the kitchen? Will you be putting a linen closet in the masterbath where the toilet had been? It is needed for sure. Man things are moving along. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Because that would be yet another thing using power. There is plenty of hot water in the main heater. The linen area is in the laundry closet. There are large cabinets for it..
Question, after you lay the flooring, do you seal the surface of the ldl tile? And if you do, what sealant would you use? long house, hot water, um why not use 2 tanks? One for kitchen and laundry room and one for showers?
Are you guys gonna keep those nifty spindles near the front door/living room? Every time I see them I’m piqued with curiosity 🤔😉😁. That manifold is impressive! Great job!
I wonder if the distance from the water heater to the dishwasher will affect anything when it runs a cycle. Like, the machine doesn't need that much water, so would any hot water get there by the time the tub is full?
Surprised you don't have more subs, not only are you informative why you do it a certain way, but you explain it in layman's terms even I can understand it and that's saying a lot 🤪. Hi to Molly & the kids and blessings to all. 😊🇺🇲
Barry . You are a GENIUS !!!!!!! As for your wife who is a great painter and help mate . Proverbs 18:22 " Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord "
I put LVF in my house. It was a lot of work doing the entire house but I'm happy. It would hav been easier if I was okay with transition strips. The color you chose looks similar to mine. Glad you did not select gray. I'm thinking gray is overdone. Is that the old water heater in the crawl space?
Busy! Its looking really good. I'm sure its because you've been doing this awhile but the attention to detail is awesome. I like the flooring too. Its very nice but neutral enough for any potential buyer.
House is looking great. You all have done a great job on it. I personally don't like the light flooring. I would go with something dark that has grey in it or just one color but darker.
Barry, please list this house on the 2022 autumn real estate market at near $500,000. I realize that is more than you (and your partners) originally thought about listing it at. This home is on many beautiful acres, private but not isolated, near necessary communities. It was built and owned by one family and maintained until they aged and died (yes, he was a loving DIY home owner and overdid many things without proper skills). Your business corrected almost 50 years of their hard love and then added so much beauty to the high quality home’s bone structure. You did it more than right. In this day and age, this property is not only construction sound, but totally unique. It demands top dollar! Someone in the southern half of Virginia has the money to purchase class and quality from your firm. You have earned every penny and what a great solid investment for the buyer. It is win/win time!
Thanks. I would love to list it at that price, but the market where the house is wont hold it. That's the unfortunate part of real estate. It wont be that high.. :)
@@EmptyHammock OK. I respect your experience and knowledge of real estate in your area of Virginia. Please list high and be willing to cut the price as needed. Higher price often signals the higher standards of the listing. You only need one buyer. And yes, I once sold real estate in Charlottesville, Va. Homes, several restaurants, condos in the downtown historic area, once even sold a trailer park in another rural county. Mr. Jefferson and I go way back…lol. Then I went to work for state and local government in two different states. I still have a deep affection for real estate and follow it on MLS in Virginia, Florida and Tennessee. I like people and sincerely want a great buyer for this property. Best Wishes.
I discovered a recent video last week. Your vast knowledge, talents, skills...and especially your mental and physical stamina is truly amazing. I subscribed and binge watched all your videos in about 4 days with most all the ads. If you can work that hard every day, I wanted to help and be educated and inspired at the same time. Your soul and efforts are a gift to humanity. Thank you, bless you and all your loved ones. 🙏🙏
Well, I'm gonna go clean the church. Then I'm gonna go to Home Depot and get supplies and a masonry saw to do a flower bed between the front of the house and the sidewalk (which we have to cut pavers for) for our son and daughter-in-law. Is that enough or do you want more details of my day? ;) Thanks for sharing your progress with us. Hope you got some sleep somewhere in there.
Hi. I think a little bit darker flooring in main areas would be nicer so it doesn’t show the dirt as much. Also the tankless water for a family of 3 or so I don’t know would be useful, but for a family of 8 like my daughter she loves it. Enough hot water for showers one after the other without waiting for it to heat up again, dishes etc. (they use a lot of water 🤦🏽♀️ lol). Y’all are doing a nice job. Take care
There are electric instant hot water systems…people have then all over south Florida. When it came time for a new water heater, we bought another tank. Why? During hurricane Irma we lost power for 3 days and still had warm shower water until the power came on!! This is another good reason to avoid instant…LOL!
Yep.. ALSO electric units that can supply the whole house can take 150 amps to heat the water.. That means you have to upgrade to 400amp service, or, when you turn on the hot water, your main breaker will trip.. :P
All of your hard work and long hours will be worth it Barry when your reno project is completed and sold. Keep your eye on the prize (new shop). It won’t be long now!
Flooring choices are great, but I knew from past videos that Molly would pick good stuff that looked good. She has an eye for design. One thing I wish ya'll had done was to take those spindles out. They date the house so badly.
@@EmptyHammock It wouldn't stop me from buying the house but it would be just about the first thing I would change if I owned it. Probably not a mistake to just leave it, from an expense point of view.

Thank goodness Barry's back on Saturday morning.
Thanks for sharing--house is going to be beautiful.
I like the flooring! It's coming along .
I appreciate the wonderful job you are doing. Thanks for explaining all the things. I enjoy learning. Thanks so much!
Looks good. If I were buying it, I’d add a whole house sediment filter. But I wouldn’t put one in if I were selling.
Hope you get some sleep and rest from all of the issues coming at you. It will be nice when your project is done. Renovations are always so much more of everything than expected. You guys have done a great job and I hope just the right family buys it with no hassles.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain why you decided to use a particular method and how it actually works. 👍
Beautiful floors! Great job, your so dang smart!
Excellent video and pro tips, Barry! Thanks for the in depth explanations, especially with the water heater! I learn something every time I watch!
Everything is coming together! Love watching the progress!
I’ve loved watching this come together. I love everything that you all have done. Great work
:)
You are lucky to be able to use the Studer valve. it sure makes Island install WAY easier. Aluminum Smelting!! interesting....
Can you not in your area?
@@EmptyHammock not suppose to but it is being done. We are suppose to create i high vent loop with a built in emergency drain if the system backed up.
This was quite a treat to watch. You are an amazing young man.
I like my new electric hot water heater- i have always had them and found the shorter ones to use in mine and my moms mobile home and a shed converted into a tiny house.I got them cheaper online (picked it up at neighborhood store) Whereas the tankless was like $500 each- i only paid like $159 .
I see the light at the end of the tunnel. It will be soon.
Outstanding progress. Enjoyed.
Everything looks great! I like the choices you guys made with the flooring and the tile. Super!
Looking great! I hope your truck gets fixed quick and doesn't break the bank.
It's a Cummins. It always breaks the bank.. 😬

Like the floor color!! You all are getting closer.
Thanx for this explanation of the difference between getting a traditional water tank and a tankless one. My daughter will be buying one this week.
You guys are doing such a great job and the way you pay so much attention to every little thing and that you do it the right way is exceptional work if I ever had a place to be redone over I’d surely hire you love how you explain everything .👍🦋🙏

It's called "turning point"
@@EmptyHammock Thank you so much
The house looks completely different & so much better now!
You are so smart. I wish that my plumber was as smart as you when he relocated my new water heater.
GREAT info about the issues with Tankless
You are so talented. Love your videos. We have learned alot thank you....love your family
I don't really like tankless hot water heaters either.
i like the floors to be dark and moody like the island.
what is that tank under the house?
The only thing under the house now is the old water heater and the new HVAC
@@EmptyHammock oh, thats what i thought until you put in a new water heater in the house. i was confused for a minute there. got it.
Thanks soo much! Very enjoyable! 😊

Your work is impeccable, Barry. 😊 How could it not pass inspection?!?
😜
SO the 3/8 out of the manifold is better?? Then why didn't you use 3/8??
I couldn't find one at a good price..
Question, after you lay the flooring, do you seal the surface of the ldl tile? And if you do, what sealant would you use? long house, hot water, um why not use 2 tanks? One for kitchen and laundry room and one for showers?
No. The LVL is plastic. It's already sealed.
Because that would be wasteful. Both for power consumption and materials. One is more than enough.
Are you guys gonna keep those nifty spindles near the front door/living room? Every time I see them I’m piqued with curiosity 🤔😉😁. That manifold is impressive! Great job!
yes
some of the places you get into , twisted around and crawling about ,you could be teaching yoga buddy !
mmmmmm.. I like yogurt..
I wonder if the distance from the water heater to the dishwasher will affect anything when it runs a cycle. Like, the machine doesn't need that much water, so would any hot water get there by the time the tub is full?
Every single DW has an internal heater..
Get well soon, Truck.

Keep on keepin on.
13:38 How did you do that?! It's exactly 6:30pm ! I am going to cook dinner after a day of boat work on the hard if you want to know :-)
