EP132 Easel Finished - What About Stairs?
Ugh with the complications. Always something to troubleshoot. In this case...pipe placement. Although the visual aesthetics are the most stunning and satisfying, I feel like it's going to be a different level of *phew* once this project is done once and for all. Learning a lot about things I would not otherwise search for on my own. And I always love those kinds of lessons. Especially rooting for you on this one. Can't wait to see the staircase into the basement. So many priorities. This helps me to see my own goals and responsibilities and be assured that things take time. I've probably said that before. But I'm a' sayin' it again!
I have faith that it will all get done. Eventually. lol
It seems like it has gotten so hot so quickly this year also.
Yes, and summer is bearing down on us like a freight train.
Find a workaround ad infinitum. You'll get this1!
Yes! It's getting really hot here.
With older houses you never know whst you're going to find😮😊❤
Hmmm....what else is lurking under there?
@@1834RestorationHouse 😅😅😅
🙋♀️❤️
Hello! 💖
I love your patience and meticulousness. You are both very hard workers. An old house must be very interesting to work on. I hope the rest of this project goes smoothly, but of course that's probably too much to hope for.
It sure is interesting! We'll get this AC back online very soon.
The level of professionalism in your videos is impressive. You have a polished and well-produced content.
Thanks! It's usually better but we don't take our good camera under the house.
Darn that Murphy!!!🤷🏼♀️😄👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
LoL!
Mike great job so far must be frustrating.👍👍👍
We'll get it done, homework is really cutting into by building time.
Hope the A/C project continues smoothly ("smoothly-er"?)...I just saw where much of the CONUS is expecting a record-hot July-Septemper...Ooofff...I fixed our A/C the other week; the condensate line seemed to get plugged periodically; I then discovered an "un-necessary" hole near the outlet of the pipe...plugged this w/ chewing gum! It's worked fine since!
I love it! That's definitely thinking outside the box.
It’s always something working with these old houses. Hopefully you can get things figured out and get the cool air that you need in the middle of summer 😊
Lol! We really need it now.
Maybe mini splits would solve some of these issues
They would solve problems but they don't look good in a historic house. We'll get this all back together shortly.
It’s always something, huh? It never ends when you own an older house n then there’s gonna be problems even owning a newer one. Like I said, it never ends….its always something. Hopefully you can get back with it this weekend (maybe). Happy Father’s Day Mike. Hope Jeannie spoils you a little bit. Maybe breakfast in bed 😆. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🥰
Lol!
Yep, you definitely have to be an old house lover to deal with the unexpected roadblocks to a "simple" fix. Happy Fathers Day, Mike! See you in the next episode. 💖💖
Thank you Leanne! 💖💖
Hope it all works out with the least amount of stress possible.
Lol! Thanks.
Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
Wait, you can't have a sewer pipe venting into the crawl space! The entire point of having a vent is to get the sewer gas OUT of the house, not allow it to fill the crawl space!!! There is such a thing as an air admittance valve but that is not a wide open pipe end!!! Sewer gas is heavier than air and if present in great enough proportions can kill you!
Yeah, there are a few sketchy things in this house.
Sounds like a good plan, nothing but fun fun fun! May it go well and without a hitch.. 😊👍
Thank you sir!
So much goes into the systems of a house. Not to mention the add-ons by prior owners that are not up to par.( Putting it nicely) We found things leading nowhere. My hubby would get so frustrated and confused as to why. I could only imagine in a house 100+ years old. I'm sure you'll find a solution. Have a great week!!👋❤️🤍💙
Every house we've owned has had something weird that makes us wonder what they were thinking..
Doing renovations is never easy!
And we used to think that painting was hard work!
I’m applauding both of you because choosing who deserves it more is too hard! Always great work and videos from you guys!
Thank you! We have more underhouse work coming...
Sorry to hear of your cancer. Glad you are now a survivor! Cleaning up the garden probably felt good!
A mask would have been appropriate, oh, I forgot, it’s not Covid!
Fortunately, there's nothing nasty under there.
A true help-meet - both of you! Getting that area clear was BIG!!
We agree!
Thank you for braving the creepy crawlspace to film for us, Jeanie! Very brave! I've always wondered what a crawlspace looked like. Most houses in my state (Oklahoma) are built on slab foundations and don't have crawlspaces or basements. Good work, you two! Funny how duct tape isn't for ducts 😂 Hope you have a nice week!
Hello Jennifer!
This is where the saying, out with the old, carries its merits entirely. Hopefully, one day, a treasure or a few can be found. Interesting to hear criteria for a new house. There’s some unique mystery pending future videos. I suppose this house wasn’t purchased on a dream-house basis. Talk about prepping it for the next owners, or should I say, curators? …when the time comes, of course.
I’ve got to give it to you both a big applaud 👏 for crawling under there. A little extra for Jeannie for her filming which she did a great job at it. It’s definitely hard work but to have a cool house for the summer it’s all worth it. I still admire you Mike for building your own ducts n installing them. The best part is, you know what you’re doing! Looking forward to part 3. Have a good weekend, try to stay cool n God Bless. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟
Thanks 👍We discovered that we'll need to build more ducts and deal with more complications...
No basement? Love this kind of stuff!!! Thank you. ❤
Wow! I didn't know anybody was interested in the underbelly of old houses. :-)
My wife always says that it's not one of my projects till I put some blood and tears on it, mostly blood.
We can relate!
Completely amazed that there is no isolation material attached un der the ground floor. With your cold climate it would definitely increase the level of comfort and keep the rooms longer warm. Will you also insulate all big metal pipes from the furnace to the rooms so that the air flow stays warmer while being transported through the house? I trust you will make it all look well organised under the floor.
I wouldn't think it would get that cold there...
@@nancyyoungs933 we here in the Netherlands more and more mount insulation under our groundfloors. It makes a huge difference. Rooms stay much longer warm. Houses are differently built here, with just double brick walls with insulation in between, or concrete walls, usually we don't have basements or cellars. My house for instance is situated 4 metres below the level of the North Sea. Groundwater level 2.5 ft when you start digging in your garden.
We get about only a few weeks of bitter cold in the winter since we live in the southern US. Our floors are very thick solid wood, which helps keep them warm.
Great video. Thank you Jeannie for braving the crawlspace to video for all of us. We appreciate your effort. ❤
You are so welcome!
hurrah Jeanie, you are a great! 🥳
Don’t forget to 👍👍👍💙
👍
Mike you’re amazing!! Jeannie, brave girl!! What a nasty place to try and work. Thank god we have basements in Michigan!! Love watching you guys! I learn so much from you! ❤
It will be great when you get it done.
I wouldn't be able to get under there. I would have had a panic attach . You are so talented.
Ya'll did great! Not to bad under there. Mine you can barely crawl. My son and i fully suited up, everything covered and brought a broom to clear the webs. Lol, we were a sight. But we got a new dryer vent put in. The old one was collapsed and duct type was the culprit. It just fell apart. Can't wait to see the new go in.👍❤️🤍💙
I have to say Jeannie was certainly brave as I don't blame her for not liking to go under the house . I always think of spiders and mice or, in some extreme cases, even snakes. Yech! Watching you play with the ducting, I kept thinking it looked like Paul Bunyon's dryer vent (only a lot cleaner) stuffed into Tom Thumb's house. 😅 Also, while you were explaining the difference between duct tape and mastick tape, I thought perhaps it might be easier if you took a piece of that tape and taped up those wires that seemed to be "in your face". Hope it stays somewhat cooler for you as you continue to work on your a/c. 👍
I don’t think I would like to work under my house and put a new ductwork system in. Mike, you and Jeanie work so well together. I can tell this wasn’t one of either of your favorite jobs but keep looking forward. Just imagine being able to sleep upstairs comfortably, no more freezing or roasting. Can’t wait for next week and see how far you two will get under the house.
Wow! Thanks for filming the difficult by excellent work. Look forward to the next video!
😊
Always Pride in your work, excellent 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Wow lots of dirty work Amazing as always ❤
You can always do what my Pap did. Part of his house had a full basement and part of it didn't. He went and dug out the part that didn't and made a basement. If you didn't have enough projects 😂
You've got that right! We're looking forward to finishing this up as quick as possible. We have talked about digging out but it's more work than we want to tackle.
Great job!
Jeanie, you Rock !
Lol! Yes she does!
👩👧👧🤗
Hello!
Did you hear me yell “Yaaaayyy!!!” when that first piece of ducting detached?! LOL! A big thanks to Jeanie for staying under there with you and filming for us! Great job! I kept thinking of spiders! Eww! A crazy thought occurred to me while watching - how hard would it be to dig out some of the floor dirt enough to crawl under those ducts? Yeah, I wouldn’t want to do it either. Well now that you’ve got better access and cleaned out some of the debris that had built up over the years, hopefully the next stage of the job will be a lot easier. Knowing you, Mike, those new ducts are going to line up perfectly and look pristine! Keep cool, you two! Best, Jan.
Hi Jan! So far, we haven't encountered anything under the house that's alive. We have a bunch more work to do under there but we are very motivated to finish it with summer bearing down.
