The quality of the original framing of the house is shocking in places! 😳 Bless you, Matthew... that is SUCH HARD WORK you are doing.

You certainly hit the ground running returning from England and buying a house for full renovation. This is the stage where the house looks even worse than when you first saw it. It's very interesting for me to see this American house being gutted, we can see how it was constructed and the materials, I'm not used to seeing a house built entirely from timber, I haven't seen a single brick, I hope insulation is put into the external walls, the heat loss must have been large.

WOW, I'm so impressed, amazing

Wow, amazing 👍👍👍

Good idea to change the locks

American houses built in that fashion look so flimsy... almost like a shed! When I visited my sister, who lives in USA, I was shocked at the feeling of impermanence about the house. Hope you don't find any more nightmare 'fixed-til-it's-broke' scenarios. Good luck from us in the UK.

Great video Matthew 👍👍

Knock the plaster off first, it makes it easier to clean up. Also the lave makes great kinderlin.

Good idea to strip it back and do it properly, you don't want a nice refurbished house that you suspect might be built on sand.

Wow, you have taken on a job and a half. Hope it all goes well, I shall be watching with interest.

That house looks like a fire hazard

I love seeing your demo! I’m hoping to be able to remove two walls from our house we are remodeling, BEFORE we leave for England in 10 days! But our permit application is being delayed by the city. Did you have to pull permits for the work on your building?

Getting the house back to bare bones, do you find it more intimidating with the sheer volume of work to do or fully expected? What's the time frame to getting the various sections completed? Are properties in the street similar in style or vastly different? Would be interested to see what's up and down your street; vastly different from Central Avenue I'm sure!

Wow. This is a job and a half and you've already filled up a massive skip! At this point, I'd be hiring a bulldozer! 🤣🤣 Good luck to you! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

With the age of your house did you check for asbestos? It could be in some of the oldest plaster, added to some adhesives or just used as fire protection.

Good luck with the eviction! 🦝 🦝

You need a haircut 😂🤣🤣

Sorry the roof needs to come down!

$30,000 Dollars wow that's a lot cheaper than Southern England as you know.. just wondering if it's cheaper to hire a tow tailor you hook up the back of your car? That's what we call them in the uk at any rate. Getting another huge bin could prove costly especially if it's going to be full... or you split the cost with a neibour who might have a need to clear up their garden/ yard or something?

Hahaha I love how your friends gradually start wearing masks when they realise dusty the cleanup is 😂 Awesome video btw, I look forward to part 2 (and the rest!) What you do with this house will not only benefit your family but future generations too! 🏠♥️

Hi Matthew. First I'm not sure if you are aware but your video is not showing up as a new upload. Hence maybe the few views so far. I can't believe I'm10th. Second. Wow! I'm not so concerned about the interior walls but the amount of gaps in the outer walls. I also can't believe what is holding up the your second story, (assuming there is no basement). I would be crying at this point and I've done some home renovation on brick built houses. I am impressed with American skips. (Bins) That is huge and the fact you have filled it and need a second one is another reason I would be upset if it were me. How much do you think this will all cost replacing all this? On the plus side it looks huge compared to the average UK home. I'm glad you have help but as I can see, you are probably doing the bulk of the work yourself. I do hope the tearing down part will stop soon. How long do you think this will take you? Do take care all of you as any mishap at this stage could cost you months. Best of luck. Ray.

Hairdressers have been open for months 😂
