  • In part 2 of remodelling my first floor, we get into the fun part of demolishing a few walls. Oh, and I find ANOTHER FIREPLACE Don't forget at the moment we currently are about 18 days away from my wedding day! In this video, I also figure out why my walls are 12" thick when the cabinets were built, and we get our materials to hold up the rest of the house!

    Lol. I actually thought you were going to keep the China hutch after you exposed the chimney. I wanted to take a picture of the finished product for inspiration. My dads house has the same layout in the dining room and when he bought his house in the 70’s, of course it had been updated with wall to wall paneling and they covered the hutch in it, 🤮, I know, right. Anyways, took a screenshot before you started to demo. It will still be my inspiration. Lol.

    The Diablo carbide tipped blades( they're around $15-20, sooo worth it though )are my go-to when stripping a lathe and plater wall. Cuts like hot knife through butter, especially when cutting cast iron pipe in older houses. Give them a try on your next room remodel. -J.

    We owned a house of the same period for nearly 30 years. That pocket door was made from the same materials as all the doors in our house. Call it cheap - I call it economical, and those doors are still functioning just fine. So, my opinion, that pocket door is (was) original to the house. And making fun of some people who see the VALUE in things like that (such as for people who want to RESTORE their homes, not turn them into something modern) is just NOT COOL.

    • @John_Malecki
      @John_Malecki  4 роки тому +2

      Your doors may have been of a better quality. But a few things, the smaller doors in our home are the same Doug fir which is a soft and cheap material. You can call the term “cheap” or economical. But the fact is, the price of that door is less than a solid hardwood door, which for the style of home and for resale is a better option. Restoring a home to its traditional features doesn’t always mean keeping what’s in it. The pocket door was maybe original to the home, but the previous owners refinished it improperly multiple times and it was beyond repair. I appreciate the comment, but by calling something cheap I’m not intending to offend. I’m clearly stating that in the spectrum of materials used for this application, this option specifically, is of lower grades
