P.S. there are a lot of us that LOVE the long episodes- the longer the better. You can always take the highlights and just make some Shorts for the short attention span people 😁
Don’t get discouraged which is easy when you go over and over a thing you think you’ve corrected and it keeps coming back. I hear your deep sighs and I’m gonna tell you I’ve been there myself plenty of times but there’s nothing that can replace the feeling of accomplishment when a thing that was busting your chops finally gives in to its master! You’re the master of this domain and it will yield to your will just gotta use that brain of yours. Be cool, stay lose, stay sane🌹
Yason please take care and put on gloves while you're renovating. The building is old you could be cut or worse exposed to something toxic🌻I just know that you're going to turn this school into a much admired spectacular home. You might not feel it right now but you're so lucky to have seized this opportunity❤
I do put on glovees alot but need to do more! Most of the time its starting and shutting off the camera I have to take the gloves off so most close shots Im not wearing them! Thank you for your concern! It means the world!
The grunts made me chuckle! It’s kinda refreshing to see someone do one of these renovations and keep in the real stuff. I’m absolutely over the “perfect” projects that look like they took no time or effort.
I got to believe once the gutters are all finished, the rest of the project will be easier. Right? 😬. You’re doing a great job and we all appreciate you bringing us along!
Yeah, I've noticed a distinct lack of PPE for this renovation project, especially for his hands. I'm glad he was wearing a mask. He'll work out the camera stuff eventually, but he may consider, since he's by himself, a tripod for all shots, with a camera that has a remote so he can wear gloves and not have to touch a tiny phone screen for videos. He's got other priorities at the moment but maybe these comments will help spur ideas for him?
Habitat For Humanity ReStore....supplies, tools, the works. When you begin to paint, paint stores have discounts on paint orders with mixed hughes yet were never paid for, card declined, or wrong color mixed by staff etc.
If it were me I would probably get long and wide rolls of aluminum flashing, bend them into a U shape, have long overlaps between pieces (with higher sloped pieces overlapping the lower sloped pieces, and seal the seams.
Wow lot of hard work there Yason love the contents and the grunting goes hand in hand with manual labor its great . It demonstrate that its not that easy squatting down between the roof and the railing , to scrap away the old tar and improvising with a claw hammer nothing wrong with that ,use what you have got available and over time you will have better tools for the jobs as you go. The railing or fancy lattice wall is so beautiful. I look forwards to watching more of your videos as you slowly progress 🙂
So glad the inside is drying out. Impressed that you are willing to undertake this huge project. Looking forward to seeing you bring this old building back to glory.
i wonder if you could create a decent slope after the levelling by just shimming an aluminum sheet or something flat before sealing it up, great work tho
Lead is used extensively on roofs. Especially wild stuff like church cathedrals or fancy estates. It is pliable to fit anything, nearly completely impermeable, and thin enough to get under other pieces to keep water out. Yason knows this but just how widely used lead is for roofs is not something you’d know until you’re dealing with fireplaces and weird slopes and decorative pieces. In blanket form it isn’t dangerous unless you are going to be handling it all the time with bare hands. Just like fishing sinkers and wheel balancing weights.
Doesn't lead dust over time? What about exposure to breathing it in, or touching it from rain runoff over years? I wonder how much of the paint in this building is lead based? Some groups online are very concerned over all things lead, especially for children, and view any exposure to children as harmful. Parts per million is 9 for children toys is allowed by government agencies, even though CDC and EPA say no amount of lead exposure is safe. Thoughts?
@@sterlingmullett6942 If it is suspended in paint it is fine. Only when you start sanding or scraping when it requires precaution. Same for lead when it is a lump. We have lead sinkers we touch all the time when fishing. Your car wheels have lead balancers. Just don’t lick or handle it daily. As a solid it isn’t a problem.
now i'm convinced, that kids who were attendees in this school for sure had to put down this waterproofing membrane in the gutters 💀 it's almost painfull to watch you struggle in this cramp space. i would swear all the time 😁
Wow Yason! You're doing a great job! Thank you for letting us tag along! I can't wait to see more videos! PLEASE wear gloves! Some things may be toxic! Take care of yourself!
Roof drainage is SO important! It's too bad that it is in such bad condition. It is so much work, which I do not envy, but you will not regret doing it right the first time.
I’m glad you put gloves on and maybe get knee pads to protect yourself. I think you’ve identified the problem. Hope it goes well for you. Rain stay a way 🙏
Such patience. My stomach dropped when I saw just what a project it was going to be when you started removing some. Please for the love of all sanity put some cut safe gloves on while you are doing that and slice away from your body. I don’t want to see a “Yason goes to the hospital episode”! Keep trucking though- the end will be so rewarding. ❤
Many slate roofs have lead guttering not unusual. Sounds like you have everything under control just the weather may be a problem. Loved this episode and looking forward to the next. Take care up there 😊
HEY!! I subscribe to a channel called My Property Channel. The man is in the UK and seems to have been doing this sort of reno about a billion times in various countries and types of properties. He flips a lot of them. Anyway, why I love to watch him is how frugal he is and how he can figure out how to fix almost anything. He saved parts of lumber from a demo property where he ended up spending pennies rather than thousands of dollars for new wood. I think @ the expense you must be going through and thought it might be interesting for you to watch him in action.
The good, the bad and the UGLY! At least you're getting to bottom of the issue. My 2 cents worth - the membrane is just rotted out because it's old, doesn't take long with no protection from the sun & elements. Doing a section at a time, starting with the worst area, sounds like "The Plan". At least now you know what materials were previously used.
You're grunting because you are working in a tight, awkward, uncomfortable space. Next time gloves, trowel or a small flat edged shovel. Seems your viewers are really rooting for ya! YAY
Darth Yason, Imperial Roofer (PPE always a good call; can't restore anything from a hospital bed). Also being cautious and getting a solid handle on what is what, might seem slow, but it'll pay off in the long run.
For the rest of that membrane, I recommend scoring the edge between wall and bottom, and bottom and roof. Then get an end free, and pull. Then roll as you pull, and it'll get enough mass to pull free mostly seamlessly on its own. Also, putting tension on the membrane lengthwise, rather than peeling back each section individually may be a lot easier on your back and hands for repetitive motion. Picture a bandaid, but instead of peeling it back, you yank it loose mostly parallel with the direction it's already stuck on in. Same thing works for bargain-bin stickers on dvd cases, cd cases, and most other stickers as long as they're not too fresh.
Considered but also kind of embarassed to ask for anything I feel like i need to provide more value first. Maybe When i grow bigger I might do a patreon with extra videos or chat sessions with everyone!
Jason I love your enthusiasm plus the way you're getting to the root of the problem with the gutters. Please do yourself a favor and get the right tools, you can buy an array of different scrapers, what you're working with now just isn't working. If it were me funds providing, I would rip the whole lot out, remove the caps, start your material, remorta, then replace caps......I know that's expensive.
I do have some larger scarpers, its hard to tell in the video but the lead pan is actually not perfectly flat, it's got a slight concave to it so with the larger scraper or a floor scraper per say it doesnt touch the middle portion. Also with a large floor scraper I dont have the fine feeling of a hand scraper where if i feel somewhere thats a bit thin i can pull back "the force" a bit (see what i did there). haha sorry for the corny jokes
Please clean that shop vac really good before you use it in the house. I would have maybe swept up the big stuff first and maybe use a bag to catch the dust. Love your channel!
I am relieved you gave us a 2-parter. I need time to ponder satisfaction in being horrified. On a serious note; I've wondered if we'd hit metal all along. The interesting design of this widow's-walk-like gutter system, just seemed like it should be lined with metal, for it's age.👍
You had mentioned in the past that you had a big and supportive family. I vaguely remember a dog or two and someone else in the background during the lawn mowing clips. I think you need to consider calling in reinforcements soon. Keep going and good luck!
Good job.👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I feel your struggle, believe it or not. Most of us have done really time consuming jobs like this that had to be done. Floors, walls ( massive layers of wallpaper), glue on floors etc, etc
I was worried about you breathing heavily while working. Looks good. Thank you for splitting up the episode, as it will make it easier for me to watch, as I'm always getting pulled away for something or other. Be careful while working up there!
Awesome job!! I’m so glad that there are people like you who will buy these great old buildings and take us along too watch the renovations. Loving the videos!
1:34 i am so with you....with that school you have to be optimistic!!! first there was no room to work and second there was too much to work... attention span awareness!!! i also love on a few channels some supercuts with longer duration, but yes, when i want to see a movie i go to cinemas... to see who is whose fudarrr!
It seems pretty handy that you are able to just walk on your gutters with no scaffolding cause of that handy parapet thing. No safety harness and stuff needed.
Just REMEMBER It may be a HEADACHE now but just remember and the end your FOREVER HOME! Don't give up please you have yourself a beautiful home please try to keep as much as you can the original stuff inside Example fire hazard thing you pull down😂 and what ever eles thats original that the city allows you to keep
Was thinking the whole time get some gloves and a scraper. End of the video you have gloves on and I see a scraper on the ledge lol. Might want to pick up something like a 6 inch floor scraper also. With a long Handel so you don't have to get down so low all the time. I'm sure you will use in other areas if you need to take up some flooring.
Yay Jason, what a fantastic result. This part of the gutter looks heaps better. Don't worry about the panting and grunting, you are doing hard work in a confined space, so it is all good. You need to stop apologising, we all understand. This gutter project is going to take a lot long to get done (yay more videos for us to watch), but once it is completed, you will not have to worry about damp or water inside again. Keep up the great work and look forward to a bonus mid week video. 😊😊🤩🤩
They used lead in the gutter system because 1 it wont rott like metal 2 it's easier to bend around corners by tapping it slowly and it's soldered on the seams you will need to prime the lead with old Henry's spray primer in a can only a very light coat not heavy, so whatever you decide to go back with, it will bind to the lead. Do not try to torch anything on the lead. You will melt the soldered joints and probably wind up catching something on fire under the slate tile. Whatever you decide to do, it will not be easy to fix. They are some options. What you had on there looked like hot asphalt that was moped on and set up. Then a layer of plastic cement with a layer fiberglass membrane, thus the fibers in the material you were cutting off. I was in the roofing industry for 45 year's and seem many of crazy things roofers do. Good luck with your gutter system.
I knew the flashing was installed like a trough. I think the bad patches caused more harm than good by disrupting the slope of the drain. I still think the ornate spindles will facilitate drainage in torrential rains, they are far enough below the windows to work. I guessed copper, but lead was equally prevalent. Clean those bad patches in the troughs out and reseal and I think you'll be good to go.
Its looking good , please wear some sort of gloves, to protect your hands from cuts. Be safe up there on the gutting too.Whats behind the membrane on the concrete railings ?
I would love a longer video. I don’t mind talking, grunting and breathing. I came to see you work. It’s expected. Do what is best for you to save time and energy, in regard to your videos. Don’t mind us. Those that are interested will watch. Make videos for the documentation of the restoration process. If that means some parts have a lot of talking and explaining, so be it.
If I could lend you one piece of advice Yason, it is if you are going to be peeling off the roof membrane you had better be ready to replace or repair the bare sections immediately.
So just to make sure I understand what you were talking about about in the beginning there... was that torch-down roofing? 😁 jk The heavy breathing and grunting is a little awkward to listen to but at the same time I'm glad for the reality check of how difficult this work is. Too many diy channels make the work seem like a piece of cake. Mmmm cake.
The "crumbs" coming up from underneath the tar sheet, is that possibly a previous tar sheet that hadnt been removed before laying the new one down? Ive seen alot of reno shows that seem to have the same issue . Some have completely ripped up all the roof and laid new tar sheeting.
First of all, I highly recommend wearing the proper PPE but at the very least some gloves along with your respirator. I also was wondering if you had thought about trying to use either a floor scraper or like a square shovel instead of using a hammer claw and your hands. I'm enjoying watching your videos and hope that you will stay safe while you're working on each project.
Know it’s tight working up there, but save yourself more aggravation by not throwing all those small pieces of flashing off the roof then having to find and pick them up later. Keep using that small waste container as you work yourself around the gutters and with all those windows you can stage a 33 gallon trash can right inside the window with a construction grade trash bag to dump the waste in. Should save you a lot of time and energy.
Next question from the old girl with no building experience. I understand the dangers of lead, but if its impenetrable why would tar sheeting be used over the top?
When you have two days to fix your gutters or run the risk of not only ruining your house but also poisoning the local water supply with lead. No pressure. Yup. Fun times! I‘ll be looking forward to the next episode!
I’m thinking there’s a better tool for this gutter job. Like they use to scrape old linoleum up. But not as wide. Also, wondering if that crumbly stuff was used to level the gutter?
It looks better than expected. Sounds like a good plan. Yes. Finding an hour of time is NOT always easy to do. Btw. No one can see where the bubbles are on the level on a phone and many don't have a computer to go to. It's not large enough. 😅 Catchbasins for temporary is a good idea.
I looked into the MDS for flex seal, and some long term tests. It seems like it isnt very UV stable for the most part, that was the only reason I decided against it, the rest of it seemed decent!
Are you questioning our attention sp…Squirrel!…….. 😂 ok, maybe you’re right. You need to be concerned about breathing asbestos but also mold. It’s really good news that through the years they didn’t strip the lead out trying to “fix” the issue.
That thumbnail art, top tier, best yet 👍Looking forward to watching in a little while. Edit to add: Another great watch. Who knew gutters were so interesting, Thanks Jason.
@@watchere ok, I had to go back and look at again lol. I’m SO, SO over the shock face and bug eyed thumbnails but this one is gold…actually I thought it was corn on the cob but either way I like it 😄
Alot of hardware stores have lead and asbestos test. Getting rid of loose material and reasealing is the best bet to stop water inflitration. The substrate sure sounds like tin sheet. This is just what I knew was going to be under all the layers of piss poor patches. Peel and stick snow and ice shield underlayment is my reccomendation and a base layer and then elastomeric roof coating three time up the palacade wall and seal every crack visible .
P.S. there are a lot of us that LOVE the long episodes- the longer the better. You can always take the highlights and just make some
Shorts for the short attention span people 😁
The Darth Vader breathing made the entire episode. TY for wearing PPE.
This is the way

❤stay crazy!❤
This restoration will be an act of love to include plenty of blood sweat and tears. It’s going to be amazing.
yeah....... idk i feel like it will take a minimum of 20 years with his pace. i'll be back in 5 years if he is still uploading.
The initial set up & planning takes a while. One foot in front of the other…. Don’t stress 🫶
❤😊that’s a lot of hard work 😩
Habitat For Humanity ReStore....supplies, tools, the works.
When you begin to paint, paint stores have discounts on paint orders with mixed hughes yet were never paid for, card declined, or wrong color mixed by staff etc.

Get the lead out!! You need a 5 gallon pail and a small fireplace shovel so you can clean as you go !! The grunting means you’re hard at work!!❤❤
Wow lot of hard work there Yason love the contents and the grunting goes hand in hand with manual labor its great .

@@sterlingmullett6942 If it is suspended in paint it is fine. Only when you start sanding or scraping when it requires precaution.
Same for lead when it is a lump. We have lead sinkers we touch all the time when fishing. Your car wheels have lead balancers. Just don’t lick or handle it daily. As a solid it isn’t a problem.
A Stanley pry bar might be helpful. Less than $10.00 at Lowes or home depot. Love watching you make progress on that beautiful place
Rest assured you film it we will watch you! You are putting out major fires first so keep going
Thank you!!
now i'm convinced, that kids who were attendees in this school for sure had to put down this waterproofing membrane in the gutters 💀 it's almost painfull to watch you struggle in this cramp space. i would swear all the time 😁
Wow Yason! You're doing a great job! Thank you for letting us tag along! I can't wait to see more videos!

@watchere keep the jokes coming, with what you have undertaken with the building a sense of humor is important 👌
Lol 😆 I think we live in same region if not same state bc you say it just rained or rained a lot.
I know some don't like long videos... but alot of us do. 👍🏻
10:41 Excellent for a gymnast or rock climber, not so much a roof and gutter.
Scrappers,kneepads etc...... need to add to your tools. Good luck longer videos would be nice
Since you are a car guy you understand the phrase “someone’s else’s project car” lol that’s the status you are in with the school.
Yes lmao always a pain too!
Slow and steady. You will eventually get there.
Oh goodness but looks great afterwards now if you could have a dry season until you are done!
🤞
Please clean that shop vac really good before you use it in the house.
I would have maybe swept up the big stuff first and maybe use a bag to catch the dust.

Up and down stairs as well as the filter mask, I'd be breathing heavy too.

Its looking good , please wear some sort of gloves, to protect your hands from cuts. Be safe up there on the gutting too.Whats behind the membrane on the concrete railings ?
One head ache after another. Will be interesting to see where this new rabbit whole takes you.
I would love a longer video. I don’t mind talking, grunting and breathing. I came to see you work. It’s expected. Do what is best for you to save time and energy, in regard to your videos. Don’t mind us. Those that are interested will watch. Make videos for the documentation of the restoration process. If that means some parts have a lot of talking and explaining, so be it.
Wow. Your so knowledgeable about home repairs. Love it. Good job 😊😊😊
I was hoping either lead or copper was beneath all that. Good idea to check the downspouts and the directions of drainage. Thank you for sharing
With the mask on, all I hear in my head is ... "I am your Father."
Good job considering how tight the area is.
😁
Get you some putty knives or the 5 in one knives that will help with the scraping instead of the claw hammer 🔨 😉 😂😅
Yason, that is okay. The breathing reminds me of Darth in Star Wars! :)
If I could lend you one piece of advice Yason, it is if you are going to be peeling off the roof membrane you had better be ready to replace or repair the bare sections immediately.
So just to make sure I understand what you were talking about about in the beginning there... was that torch-down roofing? 😁 jk
The heavy breathing and grunting is a little awkward to listen to but at the same time I'm glad for the reality check of how difficult this work is. Too many diy channels make the work seem like a piece of cake. Mmmm cake.
The "crumbs" coming up from underneath the tar sheet, is that possibly a previous tar sheet that hadnt been removed before laying the new one down?
Ive seen alot of reno shows that seem to have the same issue . Some have completely ripped up all the roof and laid new tar sheeting.
very possible!
Everyday you get answers to issues is a great day. It's a win. Well done.😊
thank you! Its better to know what issues there are vs not! Even if they are bad!
@@watchere very true. The main thing is moving forward. Your doing just that. 🌻
I saw it all the way through and was very interested in what you are doing. I hope you can get it done before rain.
Looking good my brother. Cut out all the bad stuff and put in new and seal it up. Great job so far
Getting somewhere. Good work 👍👍
First of all, I highly recommend wearing the proper PPE but at the very least some gloves along with your respirator. I also was wondering if you had thought about trying to use either a floor scraper or like a square shovel instead of using a hammer claw and your hands. I'm enjoying watching your videos and hope that you will stay safe while you're working on each project.
You need a shop bucket up there to put the junk in.
or a big trash tube to send it down into a dumpster
Know it’s tight working up there, but save yourself more aggravation by not throwing all those small pieces of flashing off the roof then having to find and pick them up later. Keep using that small waste container as you work yourself around the gutters and with all those windows you can stage a 33 gallon trash can right inside the window with a construction grade trash bag to dump the waste in. Should save you a lot of time and energy.
Clean out everthing, put down Peel and stick roof underlayment , it will seal out everyting, then coat it with elastomeric!
Next question from the old girl with no building experience. I understand the dangers of lead, but if its impenetrable why would tar sheeting be used over the top?
When you have two days to fix your gutters or run the risk of not only ruining your house but also poisoning the local water supply with lead. No pressure. Yup. Fun times!
I‘ll be looking forward to the next episode!
I’m thinking there’s a better tool for this gutter job. Like they use to scrape old linoleum up. But not as wide. Also, wondering if that crumbly stuff was used to level the gutter?
That is what I was thinking. They are called floor scrapers, ice scrapers, etc.
Great video Yason. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Things have to got really bad before it gets any better"; Probably Yason....
It looks better than expected. Sounds like a good plan. Yes. Finding an hour of time is NOT always easy to do. Btw. No one can see where the bubbles are on the level on a phone and many don't have a computer to go to. It's not large enough. 😅
Catchbasins for temporary is a good idea.
Have you ever considered Flex-Seal liquid? Comes in black, white and clear. Seals leaks really well. Anyway, rooting for you. 👍🏼
I looked into the MDS for flex seal, and some long term tests. It seems like it isnt very UV stable for the most part, that was the only reason I decided against it, the rest of it seemed decent!
Are you questioning our attention sp…Squirrel!…….. 😂 ok, maybe you’re right. You need to be concerned about breathing asbestos but also mold. It’s really good news that through the years they didn’t strip the lead out trying to “fix” the issue.
You've got a good attitude about this. I think you're gonna make it
This thumbnail is gold!!! Im gonna watch this video to the breakfast tomorow! Night night! 👻
That thumbnail art, top tier, best yet 👍Looking forward to watching in a little while. Edit to add: Another great watch. Who knew gutters were so interesting, Thanks Jason.
haha thank you I am glad someone enjoyed the thumbnail haha!
@@watchere ok, I had to go back and look at again lol. I’m SO, SO over the shock face and bug eyed thumbnails but this one is gold…actually I thought it was corn on the cob but either way I like it 😄
Alot of hardware stores have lead and asbestos test. Getting rid of loose material and reasealing is the best bet to stop water inflitration. The substrate sure sounds like tin sheet. This is just what I knew was going to be under all the layers of piss poor patches. Peel and stick snow and ice shield underlayment is my reccomendation and a base layer and then elastomeric roof coating three time up the palacade wall and seal every crack visible .
Bro had a mulch factory on the roof rip
I know right!
