We bought a hoarder house FULL of junk and completely remodeled the entire house! In this video you'll see 800 hours of work over 5 months time - all in a 45 minute home renovation time lapse!
This is the finished product of our hoarder house renovation series. This hoarder house flip included everything from hoarder junk cleanup all the way to a full kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, new flooring, and more.

We purchased this extreme hoarder house in April of 2020. We've done a few DIY house flips before, but nothing quite like this! We cleaned, demolished, and remodeled this house and kept it as a rental (using the BRRRR strategy for any real estate nerds out there.)
The amount of junk in this hoarder house was hard to believe. After spending a combined 110 hours cleaning the house with some friends, we uncovered a house with a great structure and layout to remodel into a very nice new home. I tried to capture as much of the process as a time-lapse video as I could!

I could watch this all day. Bravo on all of it. It took balls to take on that gargantuan process of clearing a hoard & then literally transforming the space. It's brilliant to see what you, your wife and friends achieved. You deserve massive respect. The writer in me is intrigued by the solitary hoarder, and the way the hoard literally infested his home. Hoarding is a mental illness which is a reaction to trauma and one of the least understood conditions. I'm autistic (just dx at 57)and I came here looking for home improvement stuff as I'm about to dismantle a house I've been filling with "things" for 12 years. This has helped me process my own hysterical reaction to loss, and my attachment to "everything"
Let Go, Let God
Much love to you all reading this from Ireland on New Year's Eve 2022
In 90 minutes it will be 2023!!
Namaste 💚🇮🇪✍️
We need to remove the cancer of hoarding!
I know that this video is 2 years old, but I wanted to let you know: there is a reason why walls should be light. Rental homes need emotionally and psychologically stable renters who will be able to keep a job and an income. White walls reflect much more light. Light is a base factor for human well-being. It improves the mood and makes you feel more awake and active. Light is seen by the amygdala, a gland inside our head. It regulates activity and happiness. Lack of light can lead to depression. That is why you always choose white walls, to improve your renters health - and protect your own wallet.
well said
Horrable owner they are gross🤨🤨🤨🙄🙄🙄
I’m not a hoarder but watching this makes me realize how our stuff we buy and keep doesn’t really matter in the end. Makes me want to be a minimalist watching this.
Don't do it. You will regret it.
Why would you regret it? As long as you remember to keep what you need it is honestly a great idea. Minimalism doesn't have to be extreme, it can just be buying more mindfully and getting rid of junk.
@@ah5721 🤣
@@kaiyugi Future hoarder alert
@@alastorclark3492 I don't have a problem lol.
Reminds me of that meme..
"Buys affordable home, makes everything grey black and white. Home no longer affordable"
😂
True sadly. It's great colour design though my house is grey black and white all over
Neutral sells tho
I remembered back in 2000s, colorful house (with primary colors) was a trend back then.
Way easier to customize for the buyer. It's not a deal breaker, but my heart sinks whenever I see a red accent wall or something in a home for sale lmao.
I developed the habit, in my early 20s to go through my things every year and to give or throw away anything I hadn’t used in the previous two years. My wife is the same as well. Having kids has changed our routine a bit, we do have more stuff than we’d like; but the habit has helped us from accumulating a bunch of unnecessary junk.
I agree make me want to declutter right now.
😮
I declutter every 3 months. Also if I bring something in, something must go out. A nice extra super clean afterwards too, and regular cleaning throughout the week, it takes so much stress away plus you really think about whether you really want something or need it.
as a digital nomad for more than 10 years now, my life pretty much has to fit a in a large size + hand luggage so I've been used to do that on top of not buying much stuff to start with.
Dark paint colors make rooms feel smaller. Dark gray has a negative affect on the psyche. I learned this in real estate psychology and feng shui courses. You did a nice job, but the color choices are depressing. Good job on the white cabinets and the flooring.
A waterbed! I thought the pile was alive:) It's so much easier to clean a hoard when the hoarder is not around saying "I want to keep that, keep that, keep that, keep that.
I know 😂 yea, you're probably right about that!
It is! I tried helping my sisters in law and they kept saying “I need that. I can sell that. That’s (child’s name)s stuff. (They’re too old for it!)” I gave up and they can live in their filth!
@@KashFloPro yuy
@@KashFloPro Very nice work. I have been managing property renovations for over 10 years. You ever want some tips and tricks that might save you some cash feel free to ping me.
Lol, I can’t even watch Hoarders because of that very reason.🤣
Great job, cardboard cutout lady is the real mvp tho.
Yes she sure is 👏😂
Hi moga! Didn’t expect to see you here
Lmao last person I’d expect to see here. UA-cam should give you that check mark🧐
Why, hello there. Didn't expect to see you here, Moga 😂
I've never seen such a clean hoard. You were very lucky those floors were so easily cleaned. Fantastic and impressive work here 😊👍 I love the flooring you put in. And I can tell the gray walls are a lighter color that they appear here. Very nice. You're also lucky to have the realtor for this one.
Thank you very much!
Great video! I thought the same thing about painting behind cabinets but then it was explained to me that the paint seals the drywall and if you don’t paint it drywall really absorbs a lot of smells and can make the house smell very bad after a couple years
Was a painter 50 years. Now retired, but working on my building. I would do a lighter wall color. Makes it look larger. Great job overall!
Thank you! Yes, we went lighter on the next couple and they turned out even better!
I agree, specially on the rooms with less natural light. In the living room upstairs it ended up looking so much lighter because of all the windows.
He has zero aesthetic taste.
@@frankgrimes465 jealous much?
Still a great transformation but yeah wishing the walls were white and the floor was like a white oak
This was so cool to watch. Gray seems to be the go to color nowadays. I thought it was ok until I rented an apartment with all gray walls. I never realized how much color affected my mood until I lived in a gray apartment. It was beautiful apartment but the gray was causing me depression. My current place has white walls and I’m so much happier. It’s crazy how color can affect mood.
I agree! I used to hate white walls but grey is just not for me. That’s the new trend on flip houses
@@lisadearing5960 I've heard it called the Joanna Grimes disaster. So many people hate it.
@@txgirl995 every flip house cliche
Not a fan of grey or white walls. Earth tones for me.
Good to know thanks.
Absolutely an amazing job. This is one of the most outstanding flips I have seen yet. I believe it's because of the mess you had to clean prior and what a stunning outcome you ended up with. Love the videos and the way that you produce them keep up the good work. God bless
Glad you like it!
Great work, that's a phenomenal transformation! Would've loved to see a walkthrough tour to really piece it all together.
This looks like a perfect house to do a flip on, most people would be scared from the original mess and the house was in great shape to begin with.
Exactly! There was a risk that it wouldn't look so solid underneath, but I thought it was worth the try.
You and your wife and friends did an amazing job 👏
I subbed because of your incredible work ethic. Love the work too.
@@KashFloPro You took a risk and you were rewarded!
As someone who does junk removal, and has filled many 20 yard dumpsters...I felt pain for you when you said it took 9 for the entire house..😭 my head is reeling at the amount we would charge for a job like that..
On a side note, watching someone do what I do for a living while comfortable in my bed was quite satisfying. Cheers, great video
Thanks! I am curious, what would something like that cost? We don't really have a lot of junk removal companies around here, at least not for a project like this.
?
I'm very curious what you would charge for something like this to you lol
@Kash Flo@@livingwithleelee before even factoring extra labor costs, the removal would be well into 6000-7000 dollars (just my estimate). Not a job I would personally look forward to. 😂 sorry for the late reply!
@@mr.freeman3199 that's way to much for that job . No more that 3k
Uniformity in the flooring is always the best as it gives the impression of spaciousness.
Wow! Can't believe i watched the whole 45 minutes! I am so impressed! EXCELLENT JOB!!! I can only dream for a place like this...💜💜💜💜👍👍👍
Considering this is a hoarder house, underneath wasn't that bad. I expected more damage considering the tv show on TLC.
I was weirdly expecting it to be worse than it was.
Agreed 100%, so was I! We were lucky it was in such great shape underneath.
They got a clean hoarder house if that makes sense. Like he said in the video, luckily it wasnt nasty trash and animal waste. It was mostly random stuff, clothes and paper. Would have been a different story if he had any animals living with him. Things get horrible when people have animals or just never throw away their food or sanitary trash. Some hoarders are down right disgusting, but this one was just clutter.
I have found that the hoarders I know (a few homes) are all very clean people. They have an unhealthy relationship with "stuff" but you would never know it because they dress nice, smell nice, and people just don't see inside their homes. TV shows seek out the grossness because it's good TV. I would bet that's a small percentage of hoarders.
@@offhandacoustic I remember watching a TV show about hoarders once, there was stuff floor to ceiling with passage ways through the towers of clutter, am sure they found the hoarders dead cat that had died after a pile collapsed on it and the owner thought it had run off.
The amount of Adult VHS tapes in that master room was intense.
I wondered how many other people noticed that. 🤣
@@DunceInAwhile I noticed, and I wasn't watching full screen 🤣
Vintage porn is always a winner :-)
So much porn.
Maybe they were classic Disney videos ... sheesh ...
Wow! It’s really sad to see when people aren’t able to maintain their homes whether it’s due to medical or mental health issues. You guys did a fantastic job with this house and have it a new life! 😊
thats why im creating a business to target this kinda of stuff
Beautiful job! As a renter, it’s really nice to see a landlord who has put so much effort and care into their property. You don’t get that a lot where I’m from 😅 people are pretty desperate for house and that’s being a bit taken advantage of but this was a beautiful job. Very lucky renters, for sure.
I’m astounded at how much work you were able to accomplish in just 17 weeks! Congratulations!
Thank you! I was trying to get it done in more like 12-14 weeks, but things always take longer in real life than they do in my head 😂
Totally agree! You have done an amazing job flipping this place! The initial cleaning up alone deserves a shout-out, just unbelievable :O
lost four months rent because he wanted to save money and do it all himself. Can't do that in Newport Beach California
I'm astounded at how much porn the hoarder had.
It takes 17 weeks for my dad to even finish planning a construction project so accomplishing one in that short of a time span is impressive!
As a remodeling contractor for over 30 years, I commend you on a real nice job!...It takes vision and tenacity to tackle a mess like that!...Your hard work will serve you well going forward...Good health, freedom and success to you and yours...
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
I appreciate your comment, a real down to earth constructive comment, making notice of the amount of work needed and applied to make this vid. and the beautiful end result.

The papers in the bathroom were stuck together by water from the unused shower.
And if the people clearing the place out ever want to sleep easy again, they'll believe that.

😂😂 One of the funniest comments I've ever gotten 👌
😂😂 One of the funniest comments I've ever gotten 👌
We bought a house recently and I have spent considerable time and energy on repainting a bunch of stuff. Here are some words of wisdom based on the experience: Don't use dark colors on the walls of rooms with no windows. School bus yellow is not an appropriate color choice, ever. Don't paint ceilings the same color as the walls (unless white). And folks, don't paint over the outlets!
All very good tips!
I painted my room bright yellow when I was growing up. It was and still is a great colour.
You forgot: Never, ever, ever paint over wallpaper.
I disagree. My entertainment room is completely black. Even the ceiling and ceiling fan blades. It looks amazing. All I am needing is black carpet but the carpet was new when I bought the house.
dark walls show more of the imperfections. I learned from experience. These grey wall weren't very dark.
Great job! House looks so much better than b4! Your work has transformed that place into a beautiful location to call home! Overall, outstanding work, also, thanks to all who helped with the clean up!! My wife loves to paint and I’m sure she would have done all the painting for me as well! Look forward to more of this, always feels great to rip out the old and add new to make it feel complete!
You did a beautiful jog. Before I was married, I owned my home and learned to,hang and finish drywall and you are right, it is not a fun job. I actually went through every room and remodeled. It was a lot of fun, I learned a lot but it was hard work. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. God bless.
I was a painting contractor for over 25 years. Two things I see that you might want to think about. 1. Primer. It makes every job look way better. And you almost never have to do more than a single coat of paint on a primed wall or ceiling 2. Texture and primer the ceiling. If you're going for a pseudo "smooth wall" finish, at least primer it.
Ditto, my friend has a construction company and always told me to make sure to do that.
Something I noticed too. The paint will show lines on the tape joints down the road. Also surprised on the formica countertops in the kitchen. Very 1970's. I understand the cost savings though.
@@johnrm1 Yeah, I'm not crazy about that either, but he is smart to look at the area and stay within those boundaries. If formica counters are standard for that area, then it makes sense. It's a financial investment, not his personal home. He needs to not overdo it and eat up his profit unnecessarily.
@@johnrm1 Every stain, tape line, paint line, mold, etc,.. will bleed through if you don't prime. I'd put formica in rental properties. Never in a flip. You lose half the money a kitchen remodel would have net if you used high end appliances and materials. To save what? 25% on material costs? You'll end up getting less and probably lose out on bidders. Most buyers are looking for turn key and don't want to spend money updating things like a newly remolded kitchen.
Thanks for the tips! Will have to try that next time, we always end up painting 2 coats of paint anyways, so 1 coat of paint and 1 of primer would be cheaper and apparently finish better. And yes, the counters were chosen because the neighborhood does not call for higher end finishes. Would not have made the house sell or rent for much more!
The painting behind the cabinets just feels like more of a sense of completion. It only takes a few more minutes, and it feels sooo much better!!! We recently had our kitchen redone, and the contractor didn’t want to paint behind the fridge. So, I painted it myself when they weren’t here. It would have been a perpetual source of irritation to me knowing it wasn’t complete.
Makes sense. I would do behind the fridge for sure, cause you can see that at times at least!
That's an ocd tendency. I would paint it too or it would bother me, but a buyer or renter won't be bothered because they will never see behind them to know that they weren't painted.
@@bethlondonart Another sign I don't have OCD. Personally, if I only had to see it on the rare occasion I moved the fridge, wouldn't care in the least. Not that I enjoy having this mind set. However, while I don't have OCD I do suffer from depression, so perhaps that's where my f it, who cares, no one will see it attitude comes from. I guess it's a different mind set. Wanna trade? 🥺
;)
I think it's more work to remember where the cabinets are supposed to goand stop painting there, than to just give the wall another stroke and finish it. And a bit of, don't just do it, do it right.
Yeah, laziness. Lots of cutting corners. Oppressive paint colour too!
This was such a satisfying watch. Great job. Lucky new owners whoever they were. The paint and floor colours were brilliant. The before and after shots were unbelievable. Best regards to you from South Africa
Wow! What a massive amount of work/cleanup/haulout before you could even begin renovation. Great job!
I know a hoarder, everything has value. They would tear their house down and build a new one around their hoard to protect it. They have a few nice things, somewhere. So they say
Those KB Toys bags are wicked cool. Can’t throw those out. They’re irreplaceable!
Right, would have been interesting to be able to chat with this house's previous owner!
@@KashFloPro Just don't shake his hand.
@@KashFloPro However it must have felt really good to clear the house without the Hoarder there to go through everything first,
I do think things have certain value, and so probably i'm halfway a hoarder, but I like sorting out things
Would have loved to see the two sides around staircase with modern railing instead of boxed in with drywall. Really opens the space up, especially considering dark flooring choice.
I agree with that 100%
its hard to put furniture up against , logically we know it can be done but there is a deep seated fear that people have and that they don't want to feel unsecure because what if the railing gave way? It doesn't help when in some movies people crash through railings in fight situations .
That's a good idea! At the time, I was not sure how my budget was going to turn out so was just trying to keep costs down for this level of home. In hindsight, knowing my budget turned out fine, I should have done something more creative there!
I prefer it with the drywall, not only can you more easily put furniture against it, you can also put artwork and pictures to decorate. It creates a set space for each room, and feels safer, especially if you have children.
My previous house had a upstairs living room with half walls over downstairs entryway leading into second living area. It could have been more open with railing instead of half walls, but it would have been unnerving, especially since I had a baby/toddler at the time. I think the solid half walls help separate the upstairs and downstairs living spaces, but keep some light and openness.
Beautiful transformation. That was like a rollercoaster ride. Seeing just how bad of a state the house was in at the beginning, then watching it transform really left a good feeling.
I was thinking about all the skills you had and was wondering how long it took you to develop them and where you honed the skills. When you said you learned them mainly on the internet I was floored. That is some serious determination.
Thank you so much!
You did such a good job. I love that you replace cupboards, I feel the same way you do about used cupboards. Really great.
It's an amazing transformation! The hoarding, to me, is a clear manifestation of how material things can consume someone's entire life, finances and relationships; I can't imagine any aspect of one's life that wouldn't be affected by it, and I can't imagine how tragic it would be to live like that. So glad you were able to turn that house into something others can enjoy once more!
Sadly, I agree with what you said. Thank you!!
Hoarding is an anxiety disorder and a form of mental illness.
@@msuebentley Exactly; the manifestations end up having the same effect on one's life...
I think many hoaders have physical health problems that stop them from cleaning and maintaining.
@@lql1094 No; hoarding is never because of a physical limitation. Speaking from personal experience, if someone has a health problem, believe me, the last thing they'll do is accumulate junk! Hoarding is a mental and emotional issue...
This makes me want to declutter my whole house now
💪
So fortunate to have such good friends.
What a hard worker you are you did a beautiful job I bet your parents are so proud of you Keep up the good work
amazing transformation haha I agree though, I would've just painted white / a lighter color, watching all that grey go up killed me :D but that's just me!
Thank you! It's funny how people like different styles - painting all white would have killed me to see 😂 In the end it all looks good though, and you never know what the end buyer/renter will like anyways.
@@KashFloPro White has to be one of the most oppressive wall colors.
while i think using the same color can save time and money, gray is very taste specific and isn't really a neutral color that can go with all types of decor. It can be very depressing and set a dark moody tone to a room...but its one person's opinion and as you can tell by the comments everyone has different tastes in decorating. All that aside, nice job and you have a great ability to see the potential in an overwhelimg mess.
White is awful
hate gray.
The reason I paint behind cabinets, is that it takes more time to go around it than to just keep rolling through it.
Fair enough!
This is insane! It’s crazy how some people just live like that I’ll never understand it
This was one crazy transformation - the amount of material that needed to be moved was insane. I watched entire whole video from the cleanup to the before/after shots. I like painting so I would be okay with doing the whole kitchen. Great job overall.
Wish the old owner was still around to see how good you made his home. Maybe this video will help inspire hoarders to try and clean up their homes a bit.
That would be great if it did!
I feel so sorry for the owner and others like him, there must be underlying issues/mental health. I don’t think for a minute people want to live like that but something happened eg a bereavement, life spiralled out of control and then they were stuck. Think governments need to offer help, not judgement, for these people. Think this renovating guy did a good job & was pleased to read that sentimental things were handled sensitively.
@@joanneedwards5630
Usually this happens after they lost loved ones, like shocking losses that you'd never see coming.
It leads to hoarding when it creates this mindset that makes it difficult to even part with an apple core without feeling loss.
Love the time lapse and voice over explaining everything!! Looks great!
Thank you!
That was a Lot of Long and Hard Graft! Well Done for Making the House Beautiful Again! Much Respect for Teaching Yourself the Skills Needed. I Particularly Loved the Tiling in Both Showers.

Thank you!
Every time time you say we did it because it was cheaper and easier it confirms my belief that I would not buy a flip.
Just wait till you see how brand new homes are built then 😳
@@TREE52HD that’s why you buy a used house in a nice neighborhood. They don’t make them like they used to…
Cheaper and easier does not always mean lower quality!
I buy materials that are the best quality for their price, I always try to get the most bang for my buck.
I do things that are easier and can save me time, so I can finish the house faster. That doesn't mean I cut corners or do bad work.
I realize there are bad flippers out there, but as Kaotic said not all new builds are perfect either!
@@TREE52HD Nothing wrong with the way new houses are built. That's the beauty of advancing the science of engineering: you can build things properly instead of overbuilding everything. Unless you live in some palace it doesn't matter how strong your walls are, nobody is going to still want to live in your house in 150 years.
@@ev6558 Not if it's a brick and mortar house:
You did a fabulous job!! Great on the details and add extras ❤
I love the fast motion. Excellent. House actually look great.
I like the idea of taking a place that is an absolute dump and then restoring it into something nice and beautiful again. Good job.
Absolutely incredible. I am super impressed at all you were able to do on your own with this house. I cleaned up my father's hoarder home after he passed and it took me about 10 months to clear everything out solo (as I couldn't trash everything, had to sort through it all), 5 dumpsters-full, and then another 7 months for gutting and renovations with actual crews of guys as I didn't have the stamina or knowledge to do it myself. Mold remediation, kitchen+3 bathrooms+basement all completely redone, new patio door plus new patio poured, finished basement out... it was an ordeal and a half in the middle of the pandemic! Never again!
Thank you! Yea, sorting through any of the hoard would have probably tripled our cleanup time.
Sorry for your loss. At least you do have some property that you can use.
@@simmiedavissimmiesings8185 Thank you very much, that's very sweet of you to say.
I was married to a compulsive hoarder, and it was awful. I had a constant sensation of suffocation from his excessive possessions. He refused to give me space for my food in our refrigerator. I had to buy my own refrigerator because of this.
videos like these inspire me to improve my life
Wow. That’s incredible!!!
Watching this was a huge pleasure :D I could not have done the clean up in a week, not even with a help of couple of friends... You guys were just so efficient, it's great! :)
didn't think i'd want to rent this house when I first started watching. After viewing the final product..hell yeah. i'd rent! good job! thanks for the video! good commentary too!
I don't anyone would want to rent it based on the beginning of the video 😂 Thank you for the feedback!
Did the.owners go through house to save what they wanted to keep?
@@janetmiller8370 No, the previous owner had passed away unfortunately.
Really nice job from beginning to end. Love the paint color you used & the flooring colors. Everything looked so cohesive. Great job!
What a fantastic transformation 👏😲😮😯
The difference in the culture, lifestyle, and persona of the hoarder versus the OCD flipper is impressive, plus remarkable; two males at the opposite ends of the spectrum.
Never thought of it that way, but yes kinda interesting to think about!
Exactly what I was thinking. What a waste of things by the way.
A hoarder has extreme OCD too. Their so obsessed with keeping everything including trash. I cleared a hoarders kitchen today for 4 hours and it looked like I did nothing!!
Interesting. Two different sides of the coin of OCD. One must maintain cleanliness and order, the other must keep every single item they have come into contact with or else both will suffer unbearable anxiety. (to be honest lots of people with OCD are messy. The people with OCD can only be neat freaks thing is a popular culture stereotype)
Being one is a quite battle in itself . When you want every edge to be clean but at the same time can’t let go of a simplest of thing
What an extremely large task to take on!
I know that hoarding is a mental disorder.
We'll never really understand what a person
goes through in their life
to end up like this.
Thank you for making this house a home again.
Impressive that everything is self taught.
Kudos sir!
Thank you very much!
Lo
Absolutely amazing. All of your hard work. Incredible. I wish you luck with all of your projects.
Excellent remodel! Thanks for pointing out easier remodel methods and affordable products and tools for us do-it-yourself people!
Thanks!
I've heard of contractors attaching their scraper to a shop vac when you want to remove a popcorn ceiling so you can catch almost everything as it falls. It might help limit exposure when working with ceilings known to have asbestos. Not sure if it would work for you guys but definitely something to keep in mind if it will help! Love the video!
Thanks, and great tip! Might have to try that next time.
Exactly. Most popcorn ceilings from the 1970s are riddled with asbestos and removing it can be dangerous if you don't take precautions to avoid airborne asbestos fibers and wear face masks and respirators.
@@caseyflorida if there really is asbestos in the ceiling you have to call specialized technicians to remove it... I know that in Europe the government itself takes care of the decontamination, might have something like that in the US too. Then again, it's uncommon nowadays to find un insulated asbestos ceilings/constructions here
@@caseyflorida wasn't aware of this fact and of course we have a home purchased from that era with a popcorn ceiling... will be certain to do the shop vac thingee when we scrape it off!
Popcorn ceiling otherwise known as Vermiculite and it almost always contains asbestos. Areas need to be bubbled and P3 respirator masks and full PPE worn, this is why it needs to be done by professionals. PS vinyl is also an asbestos product.
I would love to see a video on the financials around this project. Great job and very inspirational.
I second this comment 👍
Great that is good to know! Thank you for your feedback!
@@KashFloPro Yes, I would love this too!
Agreed.
This video was very satisfying to watch.
Amazing work. Where there is a will, there is a way to improve anything
Do more shows like this, super interesting and crazy to see the end result. Ur doing a great thing, making homes lovable and livable again!!!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
In sweden we demolish 50% of houses in areas because they are a little bit too old and bring down the value of the area lol
When you were cleaning off the stairs it looked like the junk was on a conveyor belt down since it was sped up. Kinda satisfying. =)
I know, that's one of my favorite parts of the video! 😂
I’m not sure if you had the home tested or not but popcorn ceilings very often have asbestos due to the materials that were used when they were most popular. If you don’t test, I would use full PPE with a full face respirator and a hepa negative airfan.
Where I live, this would be illegal. It's well known that these ceilings contain asbestos, and the penalties for removing it without abatement of dust are severe!
My husband has been in the asbestos industry for 45 years. My good man, you just exposed you and your workers to a horrible cancer. You would be fined big time in Washington and Oregon. Please never do that again!!!
@@stephannielewis8253Hearing the OP narrate he video, kinda sounds like he’s dealing with some throat, breathing issue tbh.
I was thinking that about asbestos. It’s also in that old linoleum too.
Why is this so satisfying to watch 😅
Me watching this video “oh! There’s a bed in there! Oh look! A toilet!”
I was just as surprised on some of that stuff in real life 😂
This is the best of a hoarder show plus a home reno show--all wrapped up into one !!
Stunning transformation
Loved what you done with the place and doing it yourself you saved a lot
I used to be a hoarder id hold on to anything. Now I just have a lot of stuff. I have collections and many crafts but it's all neatly organised just got to reorganise my new bedroom! I just dont know how someone could live like this. I'm glad you were able to clear it. Goes to show the stuff we hang onto doesn't matter when we're gone!
Thank you and thanks for sharing your story!
It’s very... grey 🥲 the dark grey colors were very much loved in like 2010 and you could find it everywhere but now it’s definitely too dark with the dark brown floor. Would have loved to see a brighter grey, that actually makes the space neutral, as grey kinda should do instead of darkening it.
Thank you! 👍
What's on My Mind. That is what I was thinking too. Too much of a good color, makes the house look like one big room of grey but like I said the over all renovation is awesome
That was so satisfying to watch. Looks amazing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh wow! Jack of all trades you! Well done!
Absolutely STUNNING transformation! Well done! No one would ever know moving into the house now that it was once a hoarder's home. Beautiful work!!
Thanks!
Seeing you do the kitchen backsplash and bathroom dense shield and tile is very inspiring after your comment that your skills are learned from DIY and UA-cam. I also greatly appreciate your efficiencies and practical cost savings throughout. Your extra effort to record, edit and upload all of this with commentary is invaluable - Thank you!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Enjoyed watching the transformation😘
Wow. Such hard work. Great job!
It looks great! I only wish y'all had put insulation in the wall in the basement so that it retained heat/ac and noise better.
Thank you! That's what others have said too. Honestly just never thought of that because I've never seen it done around here!
Not many people insulate an interior wall. The only thing it would do is dampen a little sound, and I mean just a little.
@@KashFloPro you did right. I dont know a single contractor that puts insulation in an interior wall. At most, you’d do soundproofing and certainly not on a reno, unless you’re doing it for yourself.
@@WendifurTTV not just a little bro, it dampens it alot! i know cause i build houses for a living and in some projects we try to save money for the customer so we dont insulat some inner walls but everytime we dont insulate the customer calls us back because of the sound and ends up paying for the extra insulation
@@cazztk2161 I agree, having that sound protection goes a long way when a group of noisy teens are around. If it were a remodel for personal use yes. But for a flip? I feel it would have been helpful, but it would have taken more supplies and man hours. It wouldn't have been practical for him.
This shows how much a house can change by just adding laminate floors and choosing a nice color for the walls!
Agreed, thank you!
@@KashFloPro You did a great job :)
This looks nice! I love everything including the paint 😊
Thank you! 😊
As a minimalist, this is beyond my comprehension. Great job!
Great job, congratulations. After seeing what the house was like before I could never have imagined such a beautiful and precise renovation. Greetings from Italy 🤗
Thank you very much!
You should win an award for best before and after video. Great job! I like the wood you added. It's not one of my favorite floor plans but you made it nice.
Well done, amazing transformation. I like the end result. The video was nice to watch. Thanx
Thanks so much!
I like your choice in flooring it gives it a kinda rustic look...I definitely want floor like this when I get a house🥰
What an awesome job! We’ll done, such a remarkable transformation. And great job capturing it all on video. I get excited if I can mount a shelf correctly. This is really impressive.
Thanks so much!
Insane amount of patience you have! Wonderful clean up of the hoarder house. Your renovation was simple, clean and open. The battleship grey is daunting - a neutral "mud tone" would of been my choice.
Would been my choice dear not would< of. been my choice . many people mmake this mistake , so you will know next time
@@lindajones7219 If you're going to correct someone's punctuation at least use your commas correctly, learn how to spell and end your sentence with a period.
Amazing transformation. Great job!! I love the finished house. Well done
Thanks!
i’m on minute 3 of the video and i’m already amazed at how much you guys were able to do in ONE day 😵
you know that there are a lot more colours that are light and brighter in the colour wheel, right...I found looking at all that grey that it dried my energy...
Sorry!
This was awesome! I can't imagine how exhausting cleaning it out was. You have great friends! It turned out beautiful. All my favorite finishes, if I was choosing a home.
Thank you very much! Yes, great friends and a lot of work 💪
This was very satisfying to watch. The whole clean up and installation of everything new, the updates and great decisions making of what materials to use in the home. Big ups to the wife who did the painting ( I too love to paint and it's very calming and soothing to do), great Job wifey!!
Thanks!
