House Remodel - 4 Month Time Lapse (Entire House)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- EDIT: *If it is too fast-paced, you can slow it down in the setting functions.
EDIT: Our goal was to buy the worst house in the best neighborhood. We bought the house for $74,000, put $27,000 of our own money into it. And had it reappraised for $160,000!
YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!
We bought a house and made it a home!
Back in May of 2016, me and my wife (4 months pregnant) decided to take on a 'handful of a project, by buying, gutting, and remodeling a house; floor to ceiling in almost all of the rooms.
With the expertise of her Aunt and Uncle, we were able to tackle all the projects ourselves!
Here is our journey!

I kind of love the complete silence
Man people are so mean, I'm impressed with all of the work you put in. Congratulations on your new home!
MsLissa Mac thanks!!
There’s some pretty harsh commenting here. I’m very sorry bout that. It’s not easy to demo and rebuild a house with limited funds. Not to mention, it looks like you lived somewhere else while doing it, so mortgage on top of rent? Bummer. I’m looking to do a similar thing, but i have to buy knowing that i will need to live there and do one room/project at a time. Don’t listen to the hate- you worked hard, and made a home for your family. You should be proud.
Thanks! I appreciate you saying that! UA-cam comments are more or less a venting ground haha. Good luck as you start your renos, keep me posted as it goes!
Am I the only one of 12,117 people who noticed the music is completely shot?
Maloy7800 they made me replace it cause of copyright blah blah blah, but I had something that actually complimented it.
People in the comments section need to realize people are not made of money. After remodeling this house they probably didn't have anything left to get new furniture.
You said it! haha. Plus our goal (with a baby on the way) was to put as little money into the house and get the most out of it cause of it. Thanks for watching!
it doesn't cost more money to have bought white wall paint or lighter kitchen cabinets instead...
@@thefalcon918 apparently gray wall paint is wrong
The fact that you guys did this amazing work in just 4 months is so damn impressive. Congratulations on your new home ❤️👌🏼
Thank you so much!
idk what everyone is talking about. i actually like it! aside from maybe the living room and bedroom, and that’s a maybe, your house looks so wonderful. congratulations!
I just wish you updated your furniture. All that work and no decoration
Money might be a little tight after the renovation...
Feel free to send them cash donations for that
Thank God it's their house and not yours! Smh if you don't have anything nice to say about THEIR house and all their hard work Why comment?
@@MrsSharp-bl1cv I second that! Hehe
Ben Sliwa hahah right!
Wow, Ben! That was a tremendous amount of work, both in remodeling and putting it all together. Well done!
I love sped-up videos of home improvements, but this was almost too fast! Especially where you had three different rooms on the screen at the same time! Thanks for posting.
Not my style but really amazing for four months. I'am sure I would not even have been able to install a doorknob in that timespan
Gosh I wish we could move that fast while remodeling wouldn't that be fricken awsome lol great job love it I wish i owned my place I have so many great ideas lol one day god will bless me with a home .and I'm into the older house myself in rather remodel a very old home n make it mine that to have a cookie cutter home...again great job love it
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
You are awesome just the two of you did that in 4 months thats so amazing
Thank you so much! You're the best
Thank you so much for posting this! I’m a little nervous to potentially buy a slight fixer upper as my first home but your video actually helped me see that it’s not such a daunting task. How did you learn all your skills? Did you hire anyone for specific parts of the renovation?
So the whole thing was built out of necessity really lol. I worked with my wife's uncle you had done it before - so I was learning a lot through the process. So between the two of us we did everything. We only hired someone to level the front porch, but that wasn't part of the video. Thanks for watching!!
You guys did a good job but putting tile directly on dry way isnt the best. Even if it's "water resistant" you will still get mold
mold prefers wet surface so i dont get what youre on about
@@ThePotchika I'm saying water resistant drywall still gets wet and molds over time. Just slower than normal drywall. That's why you need a water proof membrane
@@CaffreyPlays oh ok
idk about all the negative comments but it looks way better than the way it was 👍👍
Hey, thanks!
you are very welcome, I'm sure half of the people who said mean things dont know how to replace a light bulb let alone buy and redo an entire house haha.
The kitchen turned out nice.
Thanks!
If you want to see the life in a house check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/oadN9Z14NE8/v-deo.html
cool video :) what this guy is doing with his leg?
Congrats on your new house 😊
that was awesome!!! what kind of gray paint did you use?
Mid-level glidden paint from Home Depot for everything.
Excellent job y'all. I love the kitchen cabinets... Did you stain and varnish them yourself? If so what stain did you use please?
We bought them pre-stained. But we did stain all the baseboards through the house - Minwax is a good stain to use. Thanks for watching!
Loved the kitchen most of all. Awesome job guys! And congratulations on your new home together.
Thank you so much!
This is so satisfying to watch :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m scratching my head on why they didn’t either loop the sound track or play something different
UA-cam copyright took the original down. The replacement system isnt great...
Congratulations on a job well done! You must feel great about the accomplishment. I’m going to be upgrading a small home very soon and your video inspired me. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!!
And good luck!
From someone who has renovated many houses, I think you have done a superb job. Be proud of yourself. I would love to see what the haters have done with their own hands.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!!
Hey whats up, I just bought my first house to renovate, gutted on inside but the guy already put in new plumbing, electric, roof, windows and siding, I know there are alot of factors involved but if I dont run into too many unexpected problems is it reasonable to have a 35k budget to get a 3500 sq ft house finished? Thanks if you answer, i live in maryland.
@@drewdonham out house is just over 1400 sq ft. we did all the work (which you can see is a bit more extensive than it sounds like you have.) but we paid $27 grand give or take when all was said and done. It'll always be more than you expect lol. If we had hired people to do what we did, it would have easily been $70 grand ish. Hope that helped.
YOU GUYS ARE FROM, ANOTHER PLANET . WOW.
Why are people so mean?
It is quite confusing to me as well
Great work but the way the video is set up gave me a headache lol
The black cabinets in the kitchen are depressing. But hey,I don't have to live there
Thanks! ... for the thought? Haha
Hi, nice work you did on your beautiful home! How much did it all cost?
Thanks!
We put around $27grand into it. Helped we did it all our selves
I relate and applaude as I, with my brother and sister spent 50K and 5000 hours renovating a rental property owned by our mother. 6 am departures to a cold house, endless choices, discoveries and visits to Home Depot.(OMG, another problem!) with 9pm finishes with a 30 minute drive to fall into bed. The house was build in 1988 is in a great location but has had zero maintenance, everything needed attention. Its rewarding and hard work, but never again. I will sell up and live in a nice motorhome with my loyal dogs before I become a slave to a house again.
I think this is the most realistic demo and remodel I have seen. It shows what most people could do on their own with some hard work. good job I enjoyed the video
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! Finishing up the basement now - video should be done in a couple months
Nicely done👌 too bad the shower curtain blocked the view of the new tile by the bathtub😔
Wow Ben, pretty dam impressed, I was unaware that you where such a Jack of all trades master of none. Amazing, put in 27k and benefit by 60k plus that's a no brainers you made out really good. To all the not so brilliant people, after spending 74k+27k plus your 4 months pregnant, probably isn't the best time to be worrying about if the furniture is just so and your decor. I'm thinking you have my vote on making what seem to be respectable decisions. You should have put in a in ground pool and hot tube, I'm not sure what you two were thinking- Duh
Haha thanks! My favorite comment was the guy that hoped the whole house burned down because he didnt like the music. Lol.
This is amazing! Great work and congrats on the baby and new home!
Thank you so much!
I love the floor tiles in the bathroom!!
Thanks! give a bit of an out doorsey feel
I have seen many house renovation videos and I am curious about something: why do they don't remove the chimney top to bottom since it's not in use anymore?
It takes a lot of work and could be a big structural support that would be pretty costly to replace. And also even a useless fireplace has a nice asthetic
Thanks for watching!
That looks like a completely different house! I really liked your creative editing and camera locations.
Thanks Josh, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to make, and now we'll be able to look back on how it was done (and hopefully block out all the pain and sweat that went into it haha.)
Ben Sliwa I recently finished a big move too so I really like seeing the process from other perspectives. I definitely know the feeling when you are all done and can look back on all the work you did!
@@BenSliwa Don't let the trolls get to you, They're probably little kids who have never worked for something in their whole lives :) Good job man
@@dubbeh, Thanks Pal! I appreciate it!
Its beautiful, but not how I would do it..harsh comments, eh? It’s adorable, and it’s also not my house. So, what I say is what I would do, and what you did is what you would do. I liked the kitchen the best out of anything, and the upstairs bathroom.
Everyone has their own style, I think they did a wonderful job on their home! Like I said before everyone had their own style, to those of you looking for home improvement inspiration if you think it’s too dark than all you have to do for your OWN HOME is get a color that reflects the natural light form the windows. I think the home looks very cozy and inviting which is imprint to many people when they have hectic lives and all they want to do is a have a place that they love and literally poured their own heart and soul into to raise their family. I think you all did a wonderful job 💖
Thank you so much Kyanna! wonderfully kinds words !
I wish my girl would help with shit like this.
Hahaha!
Looks horrible, he made it look so small and dark, none of the furniture goes together, and the video is so poorly edited I couldn't even watch it, just skipped to the end
Jack no one cares, Jack. Watch another video amd move on.
Ben Sliwa okay bye
Increased the home value at the end of the day by 3500 bucks maybe...
tight little snatch , double the value actually. Total reno under $27 grand, increased value by $75 grand.
yeah i agree it's too dark... i would have painted those walls white, and maybe an accent walll... and the kitchen and bathroom also... But besides the terrible decoration, the house is super cute
Was there a vapor barrier in the shower?
I love how you renovated your home.
Great work. 🤗
Thank you so much!
Check out the basement remodel we just did!
Ben Sliwa 👍🤗
Awesome video bud! Y’all should go check out my time lapse video of us adding a bathroom in what was once a closet in Panama City beach!
how is it that the thing he’s worst at is mowing a lawn
Haha! It had been a few years and the ground was lumpy. So there...
Too fast
You should have made it more open though. Nock down some walls and let more natural light fill the rooms. And if you didn't lay carpet in most of the rooms and chosen woodfloors insted, it would look a lot better :)
Haley Mason we wanted to so bad! But load bearing supports hindered that. It's nice only having carpet upstairs, the wood on the first floor is great
My house i just bought doesnt even look half that good. Some one vandilized it. I bought it for 18,000 and its on 2 acres. Cant wait to start the remodel.
Wow, that's awesome! good luck, it definitely takes a lot of patience! lol. where do you live?
Congrats on job well done! No small feat! edit: after reading the comments I learn that you did this for 27k. Amazing, bravo!
no offense intended but is the furniture shown at the end photoshopped in or is that just a fish lens on the camera or something? it looks like its floating over the carpets lol. Outside of that great job, it turned out great!
At the end the music gave me a frite lol
How did you keep the shower tiles so clean while you installed them. They only had 5 to 10 blobs of motor on each piece..
hahaha - it was my first time doing it.
- I've improved since.
People are so mean.. i wanna know how their own houses look like...
May I ask does the color stay if I paint my furniture with wall paint only?
The color will stay just fine. They have a clear epoxy that you can paint or spray on top that'll help keep it longer. We've used alot of "Chalk Paint" brand paint and finished it with epoxy and it looks great! One of my videos is a timelapse of another project similar. Thanks for watchin!
Ben Sliwa thanks ! :)
... Sorry but i hate it
Gagging
Great time lapse video! It really turned out nice! I liked how the camera kept changing to different rooms and angles!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Just wow
Please what is that black paper ur putting on the floor
It's called underlayment, hides any subtle imperfections of the floor beneath the vinyl flooring. Cheap and easy to put down
A for effort..but I don`t understand why americans always have wall-to-wall carpet?
Policeman well upstairs only. Do when you take up, Its a more comfortable step. Duh?
Policeman carpet is becoming more & more obsolete here, although there are still some die-hard Carpet in the bedroom lovers. However not many of us like carpet in our homes at all anymore. I know i for one prefer hard flooring that can be cleaned properly & if I need a soft warm place to step then I put down an area rug that I can hose down & shampoo out on the driveway every few months. Way cleaner & easier to maintain for long periods. Lol but he did a beautiful job regardless of anyone else’s personal esthetic preferences. It is his house, his money, his hands... therefore, his choice! 😁🤗
Policeman warmth in winter times it just warms up the room more. That’s what I’ve noticed from living in carpet rooms and no carpet rooms
This house is laid out similar to Tim And Jenn Trackers house. Is this in the Orlando area?
Northeast Ohio actually. Thanks for watching! I'll have to check out the Tracker's house
"if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything" they did an awful lot of work and it takes a lot of money. While they did that, you spend your time putting other people down. Good job 👏
2:18 can anybody tell me why put insulation halfway up in the kitchen walls like that? Is that the dining room area?
I believe the top either already had some, or we were feeding it all the way up and the lapse is too quick to see.
Congratulations for your new home and for this video! I think to prepare the video was more difficult than to restore your home 😁😉😅
Thanks! You aren't far off. haha
Wow this is awesome!! It gives me hope for when we remodel our home. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! And good luck!
Beautiful home
Nice job
Wow! Inspiring!
The grass being cut is the funniest thing ever to see in time lapse 😂😂
I still cut it like an idiot.... lol
Great work
With all due respect, and I mean all due respect, besides the kitchen remod it looks like you just repainted and put in new carpets/vinyl floors. But hey, if you're happy with it then that's awesome!
I’m remodeling my house entire house 🏠
Good luck! stick with it! let me know how it goes!
Very nice before and after 😊 I don’t understand why the comments are so negative about the furniture, it’s not like furniture is permanent. The house is very nice and the carpet upstairs makes sense, when you have kids it’s more comfortable for them.
Looks the same to me.
It’s so dark...
They should have opened the kitchen up to the living room ! So much sun light and would have made the space look bigger
Awesome, love how the kitchen turned out!!! What a cozy home!!!
The music element of this video is very weird. Cool vid
L H fricken copyright issue, UA-cam changes the audio...
Nice video but the audio just😕
Mr. T Mr. T UA-cam claimed my original song... glad you liked it!!
Man, whats with the Audio?
Kay V. D. Copyright issues made me change it... so now it's, eh.
Ben Sliwa Ich would recommend using music from channels Like NoCopyrightSounds. Just link their channel in für description and nötige the Song name and stuff and u can use almost all their music, Just a tip tho :)
I love how the fireplace turned out, also love the tiled bathroom floors! Bravo! Great work, I'm sure it's filling nicely with happy memories already :)
AmyThelma UK glad you liked it!
It was fun to do, but so much more worth it!
Now I see why rent is so high
That's capitol that doesn't play into the price of the house.
why do the backsplash tiles in the kitchen look so weird?
it looks like the backsplash was very poorly photoshopped in. LOL
haha! We didn't finish the backsplash until months later - so yeah, they were definitely (very poorly) photoshopped.
Too fast.
Bruh who cares
Came out really beautiful
I would love it, if you showed it lil bit slower.
Honestly I thought it'll turn out better but nope. I loved the kitchen tho, cabinets are hella expensive.
How much it costs for total remodeling process if someone hire a team to do this
It cost us around $27,000 for all the renovations. If we hired someone else to do it (which we didn't look into) but I would be willing to guess it would have been closer to $75,000 - $100,000 total. Labor from contractors / workers is the biggest cost of any service. It would have been a quicker process, but we didn't have that kind of money to spend. Hope that helped!
Ben Sliwa thanks man, manpower is the biggest cost. I wanna do it myself but know nothing about renovating... can’t even know how to pull out the floor tiles😅
I@@yi5327 I knew very little going into it - I got luck and my wife's uncle led me through the stuff I didnt know. So just find someone with all the knowledge - haha. that's easy right? (I got lucky.)
Ben Sliwa damn right
Ben, you did a GREAT job. We bought our first house 9 years ago and had planned on just remodeling the bathrooms. People don't realize when you start tearing into a project you find all these "hidden" issues you never knew you had until you tear out a wall. We will be redoing ALL the plumbing, rewiring the ENTIRE house and another "discovery" we made was there was no insulation in ANY of the exterior walls. None. On top of all of this, we found a pipe had burst at some point prior to us buying the house, the house flooded and yea...we now get to replace all the drywall. You did awesome, forget the haters. The fact you had rent on top of a mortgage on top of having to fund the renovations....UGH...Am there, doing that and never ever want to do it again. My next house is either going to be gutted down to the studs so I can see everything or else I will build from scratch.
That's crazy! We had some flooding before and during the reno that we didnt film - always fun when things set you back days or weeks. lol Thanks for the comment, loved reading it.
I'm happy for this family and their new renovated home. I hope they're enjoying it!
We are! Thanks alot!
Well done! Removing paint from brick, THAT is dedication.
Thanks!!
it was an experience, that's for sure! haha. But we couldn't have lived with a solid white fireplace! and those red walls to boot!? no, no no. lol
Looks so good! Great job!
Thank you!
how much did it cost and how long.
It took us around 4 months - start to finish. And I think the total cost was $27 grand. Which, if we hadn't done it ourselves, would have been atleast twice that. And it more than doubled the value of the house in the end.
At the end the music gave me a frite lol
Sorry but i've got to say........
THIS VIDEO IS BORING
jk loved the vid keep it up
Pretty badass house. Small kitchen though
codysett1 for what we wanted, it fits perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
No isolation between the bathroom and master bedroom?
Evelina Syres there was like a jack and jill style door set. But we sealed it to give is some cabinet space.
Beautiful
Congratulations and it's very important so we build a home making it nice and sturdy. Yeah I did the most important things however I seen better.I wish y'all would have open the wall to the living room and the kitchen to open the space I love the kitchen tho.. regardless overall it was better than what it was and I understand its not always a need to be quick to update your furniture and decorating. Just spent hell of a lot of money you could take your time on decorations that come with time
