RODA- thank you! On a project like this you are absolutely correct. Lots of unknown obstacles and things that delayed our progress. We did most of the work as we pulled the construction permits, however had to contract out all HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical.

Kerri Fisher- maybe we will. It’s all finished now. ;)

MemphisTyler - it wasn’t too bad replacing the windows as we used the same openings. We did not need to cut any of the block out. If you do cut them out, in Michigan they require a metal plate across the top that can be expensive. Take lots of pics or videos. It’s always fun looking back at them. ;)

Thank you! We used several unique materials and most of them came from the very same building. We ended up selling our personal home and using the proceeds to fund this build. We stayed in a camper for 11month while we built our home. No grants or city/state funds were used.

fifaboy- it was built in 1917 so it was listed as both, commercial/residential. Certainly would have been difficult to convert if it wasn’t already classified properly.

J Vega- thank you. Took us roughly 11months to complete.

Sean Taylor- we got a pretty good deal on the place as it was considered a blighted building with many repairs needed. $75K and then around $150k for the remodel.

Thank you c:

@@thepufferfam736 sounds like alot .

@@LoadScreenYT ya, it was quite a bit, however the building was in horrible condition initially. The entire building is about 26,000 sq ft. and this portion is just under 5000sq ft.
