Beautiful beyond words. I love everything about this home. The barn ,the landscaping the man cave and workshop.Who wouldn't love this country home. ❤❤❤❤
another awesome retooled episode. I've been watching Mike Holmes for years and I'm always amazed of his work. So wished they would come remodel my house, it really needs to be retooled.
Beautiful job done. I am delighted to see Father and Son business is going great. Wish I could have done more with my father. Your son is learning from a brilliant man. GOD BLESS SIR.
Open permit for the barn made the property more beautful with its new siding. The addition for the master bedroom makes it was part of the house from day one. Done an amazing job from the inside will sell fast.
My father and son y'all did it again it looks awesome the house and the barn too I'm just waiting to see the outside around the house just waiting to y'all get finished
In Britain we have carpet, in living room's and bedrooms. No carpet in bathroom and kitchen. Coz if a pipe freezes or cracks, the carpet isn't ruined. Carpets are more expensive than wood, here. X
The house on my goodness it looks so stunning you hear me out there out there it looks so good that's why I love looking at you cuz John channel so amazing happy New Year
To be fair you can have a hardwood floor, and just put a rug on it. But yeah any one waking up in the morning wouldn't want hardwood floors. Not unless they are heated floors or something.
After doing that in my last house, the only thing is the house was louder, wish I had better fitting doors and sound insulation in my walls (40 year old house). I would also put heated floors in the master.
Thats too funny. My house caught fire 7 months ago. I had a combination of one color hardwood in the LR, a lighter color hardwood in the dining room. Linoleum in kitchen and laundry room and bathrooms with Carpeting in all 3 bedrooms. Check with flooring guy and insurance company and now my entire house is hardwood........I love it
What's disappointing is that they did not make the main floor accessible. That beautiful deck could have had a ramp instead of stairs. The main door could have had a ramp. That open concept would be amazing for a family with a child who uses a wheelchair or other mobility aid. But, damn, what a beautiful home!
It's nice to see some color. So very sick of all-white everything in newer homes. Let the colors in! So glad they didn't whole-sale chop down all those beautiful trees.
Mr.Mike, I'm concern that all the planning in the instructor of making a place to live and being safe and Heart warming and inviting, that rebuild came out to be Outstanding House for the new owner or forself, But I worries about some of the Trees in the Future;wouldn't fall near the property?
That open permit has me so confused. I understand if the previous owner was the one to obtain it. But if an owner before them obtained it, why wasn't the previous owner forced to comply?
To Mike Holmes your son Michael is right we're all HUMAN Beings we try really hard to not Make mistakes but if we do don't beat yourself up if you accidentally drop the ball an make a MISTAKE!
[1:42] Actually, the first thing I said was to put carpet in the bedrooms. It's cheap and gives the new homeowner options to put what they want on the floors wile still having a usable and attractive covering. That said, Mike Senior seems to be forgetting his oft stated rule of not putting carpet in bathrooms since it will get beyond gross and be a breeding ground for mold (or "mould" in CA). [6:47] I have never heard of any rule stating you have to comply with an open permit. First, permits time out at a certain point. Second, all permits can be ammended. Third, if the ammendments go beyound the scope of the permit applied for, you have to apply for a new permit. This is true for Local, State and Federal permits. If what he says is true in CA, it is yet one more reason for CA to be welcomed as the 51st State and Make It Right (tm). [10:10] As a permitted Septic Designer and Installer I can tell that is not proper septic stone you put in. It has way too many fines in it. Your field life will be substantially shortened by using stone or sand that has a excessive amount of fines (i.e. silt) in it. You should have rejected it or had the guys wash it. [10:19] I also notice the field is not vented. I can't tell how much you covered the stone with, but anything over 12" should be vented. Venting gets oxygen into the field to promote the aerobicb biologic functioning and also allows methane gas (the byproduct of the activity) to be exhausted. I am assuming the tanks are vented thru the house, but you never showed us. [14:09] I do job site surveying and I have conflicting feelings about this very basic oversight. On the one hand, most projects don't want to spend the extra cash on having buried utilities put on as as-built plan. On the other, Mike is way too experiend to be given a pass for NOT doing this. I am disappointed in him since he literally has taught me so much about building. But I commend him for showing us his oversight and his workaround. Finally [33:52], those socks are too gay. C'mon man!
And folks who will are not going to "have a woodworking or crafts shop". They will need storage for jet skis, boats, tractors andother big toys. Buyers will be extraordinarily high-earners.
Only problem with this new house is the price. They took a 1mil home and probably made it a 10mil one if not more due to the Holmes name being attached to it. The video also felt a lot less like his old TV show, which was a repair/builder thing. This was like a cheesy real estate video hyping up a product.
I love Mike, but he is wrong on the carpet in the bedroom. I didn't have any carpet in my last house at all and it was fantastic. This one has carpeted bedrooms and it's one of the next things I'm fixing. No matter how much you vacuum, it's never really clean and my allergies tell me so daily.
will I would want carpet in all bedrooms too, hate hate hate hardwood inbedrooms and kitchens and dinneing rooms too, cause mess kids can make pain to keep looking good, if I got a house with hardwood, Id be putting carpet down right away and want that amout taking off the price of the house, and old house sorry yellow kitchen bench tops, No sorry yuck shame its shouwing between the lovely wood bench you make it looks weird even if it was blue it would look like a river running bwteen them but showing yellow nope
I'm sorry, I do NOT like that ugly tile by the front door! Yuk. A nice rectangle shape would have been nice and classy. The hex tiles look like you had some extra bathroom tiles so you decided to save some money and use them up by the front door. God Awful! Mixing modern with country is a horrible idea. It's like having a bunch of teenagers or twenty somethings yelling in your ear about how old and stupid you are because they hate everything that was before they were born! Make up your mind, is it modern? Or country? And I don't understand, why can't you cancel a building permit? Isn't there some kind of time limit on those things? What happens if when the person that got the permit was going to install something that today would be against code? Then what happens? And I would prefer wider doors on the garage so you can pull your vehicle in and not have to SQUEEZE through the car door to get in or out. And what if someone wants to use the barn...as a barn? If you decide to keep animals in there, it would be nice to have a way to clean the floors without the excrement piling up outside the doors.And there's not a loft to store any hay. No place to store your tack or feed that would keep out "pests". But, besides those points, the house is beautiful. And I would have voted for carpet in the bedrooms (but only the bedrooms)! I don't like to wake up and have to put my feet on a cold wood floor!
I live in Australia and some of the homes here can reach that much and they don’t have a pool or garage so I don’t see the problem and yes I would buy it for that price
Beautiful beyond words. I love everything about this home. The barn ,the landscaping
the man cave and workshop.Who wouldn't love this country home. ❤❤❤❤
Finally!!! A home with color! I love the red in the bathroom and the blue cabinets. Those features alone would put this home at the top of my list!
another awesome retooled episode. I've been watching Mike Holmes for years and I'm always amazed of his work. So wished they would come remodel my house, it really needs to be retooled.
What a beautiful transforming renovation. Great job guys! 😮❤❤😊
What a absolute monster Mike Jr grew into
I always loved the blending of wood floors into complex tiles, the look is just too cool.
Beautiful job done. I am delighted to see Father and Son business is going great. Wish I could have done more with my father. Your son is learning from a brilliant man. GOD BLESS SIR.

I love ur new shows with ur son, ur both great together.
The Holmes family always make it right and makes it beautiful ❤. Every plan thought out meticulously. You guys rock 💪.
BEAUTIFUL 😍 😊❤

The house on my goodness it looks so stunning you hear me out there out there it looks so good that's why I love looking at you cuz John channel so amazing happy New Year
Wow!!! Love this HOME♥️♥️♥️
Would love it. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Oh, yeah, during those long, cold Canadian winters I would want carpet in the bedrooms too.
To be fair you can have a hardwood floor, and just put a rug on it. But yeah any one waking up in the morning wouldn't want hardwood floors. Not unless they are heated floors or something.
Stunning!
I love you guys. Do a great job
If you have dogs you want to have hardwood floors in bedrooms. Area rugs are easier to clean 😊. Not to mention kids and spills.😊
I have carpet in all of my upstairs rooms besides the bathrooms and I love them. The only downside is the stains.
17:03 Speaking as a former hardwood guy I would love that challenge. Straight lay gets boring when you have woodworking skills
Carpeting in bedrooms (anywhere really) is awful. Give me hardwood every time, you can always put down area rugs if needed.
I agree.
After doing that in my last house, the only thing is the house was louder, wish I had better fitting doors and sound insulation in my walls (40 year old house). I would also put heated floors in the master.
I like carpeted bedrooms and lounge. No tiles anywhere.
looks great
Wow it's on a busy road.
carpet in bedrooms is the best choice. jumping out bed at night the floor is cold. carpet is warmer.
Thats too funny. My house caught fire 7 months ago. I had a combination of one color hardwood in the LR, a lighter color hardwood in the dining room. Linoleum in kitchen and laundry room and bathrooms with Carpeting in all 3 bedrooms. Check with flooring guy and insurance company and now my entire house is hardwood........I love it
May I make a suggestion install hardwood floors & then use throw rugs
What's disappointing is that they did not make the main floor accessible. That beautiful deck could have had a ramp instead of stairs. The main door could have had a ramp. That open concept would be amazing for a family with a child who uses a wheelchair or other mobility aid. But, damn, what a beautiful home!
Yes carpet in bedroom.
no excavating w helical piles! then excavating haha
It's nice to see some color. So very sick of all-white everything in newer homes. Let the colors in! So glad they didn't whole-sale chop down all those beautiful trees.

Do they sell the house fully furnished like they have it set up?
There are companies that do staging for houses for sale. And I think that's what they did.
Some sellers will include all furnitings for a sum on top of the house price. On this house, I'd pay the extra! This thing is gorgeous!!
Holmes doesn't need a realtor to sell this. he could have saved so much there.
Holly Smoke!
That open permit has me so confused. I understand if the previous owner was the one to obtain it. But if an owner before them obtained it, why wasn't the previous owner forced to comply?
I want to know how much this house sold for?!
Not a throw rug I meant area rugs instead!
Slippers Senior with hardwood
To Mike Holmes your son Michael is right we're all HUMAN Beings we try really hard to not Make mistakes but if we do don't beat yourself up if you accidentally drop the ball an make a MISTAKE!
those walnut stuffs cost more than the average yearly salary
I wonder what they ended up selling it for.
if you listen to them just the maintenance of your house is a full time job you have to do or your house stops working.

I had the house like this but a pretty girl took it all away in 4 years. So now I live in a trailer built before I was born.
Washer and dryer two flights down from bedrooms,where clothes are, is crazy. Also, there is no attached garage.
I would never pay $1.95M. Never!
And folks who will are not going to "have a woodworking or crafts shop". They will need storage for jet skis, boats, tractors andother big toys. Buyers will be extraordinarily high-earners.
Now all I need is 2 million dollars 🤪💩
Didn't tell us what it sold for, that's probably not a good sign!
Sold for $1,875,000
Only problem with this new house is the price. They took a 1mil home and probably made it a 10mil one if not more due to the Holmes name being attached to it. The video also felt a lot less like his old TV show, which was a repair/builder thing. This was like a cheesy real estate video hyping up a product.
These are the "retooled" episodes which are cut down versions of the full episodes which go into far more detail in the construction.
I love Mike, but he is wrong on the carpet in the bedroom. I didn't have any carpet in my last house at all and it was fantastic. This one has carpeted bedrooms and it's one of the next things I'm fixing. No matter how much you vacuum, it's never really clean and my allergies tell me so daily.
Holmes either has a great tan or more makeup then a diva 😅 spray foam is hazardous to r health

$2MILLION IS RIDICULOUS FOR A HOME NO ATTACHED GARAGE FOR THE WINTER AND NO POOL I WOULDNT BUY IT
Their in Canada & that's why It's So Expensive !!! But I agree with You !!!
@@katherineguthrie1558 Probably more to do with the fact that you basicly buy like 3 buildings and a field with it.
@kishinasura7701 Very True !!!
I live in Australia and some of the homes here can reach that much and they don’t have a pool or garage so I don’t see the problem and yes I would buy it for that price
all i know is if i was the one dumping 3/4's to most of the money into the rebuild/update i'd be getting the last say on interrior designs.
Nope. It's being flipped. Defer to the experts to do what will sell.
