Yes plastic that doesn't biodegrade and is notoriously difficult to recycle and reuse is better than that stinky heavy WOODEN BEAM. I hate house flippers

@@rexana_rexana and not just with house stuff, i see this a lot with clothing, like "artificial leather". THATS PLASTIC STFU

Same, especially when they destroy things that could have been easily recycled in favor of something worse then use "the environment" as an excuse when we all really know it's just for aesthetic.

That foam will degrade, but not like degrade forever just degrade into microplastics and the light fixture fall down because of it

Yeah feel that way about vegans sometimes too, its ok it buy used leather/fur if you don't want to buy leather/fur that do fast fashion.

She and her HUZZBIND have no idea what they are doing and need to stop.

Thank you for confirming to me that the reason it looks so wrong is because of the asymmetric shapes of the stones compared to the real German smear works 🥲

I'm living in Germany and I had to google what their "german smear" technique shall be because I have never seen something like their fireplace in new or historic buildings. It looks so completely different!

@@SomeoneNone123same I was so sure I misheard the name bc I couldn’t remember ever seeing anything like it on a fireplace

bro midcentury isn't even seventies it's like 50s LMAO

@@BoxOfToasters well yea?? it's literally mid century lol

​@@BoxOfToastersYeah, that's what this person meant

Mid century is more into the 60s though. 70s had some remnants of the style for sure. But they definitely did not use mid century correctly nonetheles

That always makes me so mad. People who can’t differentiate decades (ESPECIALLY when they conflate ‘80s with ‘70s and ‘90s. STOP PUTTING FLARED JEANS IN YOUR EIGHTIES INSPIRATION BOARDS!) make me SO upset. They say they love retro and then they can’t even differentiate the decades.

the sticker was actually so beautiful 😭😭

Tacky, and then hires a muralist to draw the most coffee shop level tacky mural

The whole concept of what they did to the houses was a sticker. In a year or 2 it will peel off and the new owners will see what they really bought.

Also, the tree-branch-shaped stickers above the fireplace made the fireplace look like a big tree trunk!!! The stickers were the leaves and highest branches of the tree... it actually could have looked magical if you would sit in front of it on a cozy night! And they removed it :''')))) This is how I know this is rage content and not genuine DIY/decor/renovation advice or just aesthetics or whatever, because there AIN'T no way you don't recognize that. You don't have to have studied design or engineering, it screams in your face - especially that the bathroom door was covered in a wallpaper bouquet of plants too. These people LOVED trees and greens that's why they had a huge garden and a little green-house-effect patio ffs!!

No they put a faux beam on the ceiling 😂 watch the damn video

🤣🤣🤣🤣 My brother and SIL are realtors and agree with you. I have heard many rants from them.

i agree

Every real estate agent and landlord should be bullied into finding a real job

@@Supadawg1000 idk there is a lot of legal stuff that goes with buying a house, so i'm not vehemently opposed to realtors. landlords though? yeah fuck them

Some people do have to rent. Not everyone can buy a house. Especially in this market with interest rates. A good owner and/or management company is important.

I liked the old disc-like light fixture that they removed in-place of something horrific.

Idk why she kept saying "mid century" when trying to keep the house 70s. Not the same thing

Also, it went from seventies to cheap, callous eighties.

​@@screamthroughdreamsand not even mid-century half the time. Just saying words!

​I don't even care what the fixture looks like she took out a CEILING FAN and didn't put a ceiling fan back in. THIS HOUSE IS IN FLORIDA. Jarvis had a good point about the things on the windows. The old owners had that stuff there and a ceiling fan for a reason 😂 I have a feeling the house flippers are not from Florida or don't care about the future buyers at least! @@ambiarock590

OMG THANK YOU I went to a technical and design school and in the subject that could be picked to the third finals in was maths or design studies because it’s as much of a science

art does as well, taste is subjective, but art forms too have techniques that can be very objectively done well or poorly

​@@StormSoughtFalse Equivalency. Just because the parts of the whole can be objectively measured, does not mean the whole can be. See: Humans, unless you do not believe all humans are equal?

@@bobSeigar Okay so I said the techniques could be assessed objectively, and if you want to be joylessly pedantic, design is actually subjective as well, it's still about taste. Both of these things have objective and subjective elements. Humans, in regards to what?

@@StormSought Oh, you're one of those. Enjoy the relativism.

And yet they spent a ton of money on that stupid concrete stage or whatever it is supposed to be now. Concrete work is very expensive. And it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't done right (which would cost a whole lot more) and will start to crack and delaminate.

@@bubba99009 Oh gosh you're right! Then it becomes a structural health and safety hazard. I swear these people are making instagram set pieces more than renovating a home.

​@bubba99009 Yup. The civil engineer in me hates absolutely everything about filling and overflowing an empty pool with concrete and then trying to sell it as a... something, I guess 🤦🏼😅 And you're absolutely correct that it wasn't done right, because there isn't a "right" way to do that (other than actually demolishing the pool)

…it’s their house. And how are they supposed to magically get the money to do something they flat out can’t afford?

They are not saying they should've fixed the pool, just that they should've left it alone,made it a garden,not filling it with concrete...then,if the next owner felt like getting the pool done, it would've been more doable ...they probably won't even know there is a pool underneath all that.

Making people have to pay additional thousands for renovations after they buy this house is truly an ancient technique - don't question us.

the medieval people made it better than them lol

lol true

That is an ancient technique and it just looks like that lol. In Europe (France specifically) that type of wall is very common and it just looks like that, imo it doesn’t even look that bad in the video so I don’t know what everyone is complaining about.

​@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-db2ff But it does look bad... They did a bad job it's just that simple. All that fireplace needed was a little polishing and they just kind of ruined it.

This is why when you are looking for housing not to buy a flipped one forcing them to reduce the amount they sell for because no one is buying 😂

I totally agree, there's a lot of really charming craftsman homes where I live and people are ripping them up all the time, they're more and more rare every year. Right now the one across the street is getting gutted and the one two doors down was totally demolished so the owners could have a new build - the old build was in great condition, too. It makes me really sad, mine is the same age, but one of my family members let it go for a while so it's not in good condition. No one values classic things.

​​@@kateherr2893 I disagree in one way. I think most people value classic things, there is however a minority who have money and sledgehammers and are all too willing to destroy in the pursuit of profit. Or the turkey teeth types with peaky blinders painting on the wall and render the entire house get black windows and put a Fort Knox's gate on the front of a 3 bed semi detached

I need them to stop before the housing market crash because i want an old beautiful home with character that i can buy for 100,000 lol 😂

WHAT THE FUCK???

I don't think they know anything

I guess, to be fair, it's Florida and it looks like there isn't a big climate difference between outside and a greenhouse? (I've never been to Florida, I'm guessing from the video) But it would have been way cooler to have an inside garden art studio with the nice shelves, I agree

@@InayaezaMost Floridian weather can be very turbulent and change quickly, a green house would keep the conditions a plant is growing in more constant, giving it a better chance to grow

As someone who wants to garden that part genuinely upset me

That’s not a green house, that’s a screened porch so you can sit outside without the bugs getting to you or so your pool stays clean. The temp is the same because it’s literally a net around that structure. Y’all are ridiculous 😒

Exactly what I was thinking too. But given how ignorant these people are it doesn’t surprise me that they have no idea how much space a fish needs

I know. It made me so so sad.

Thought it was originally a pool that was filled in before they ever got the place.

@@toriladybird511 It was originally filled in with soil so you could use it as a greenhouse area for plants

They have zero imagination and clearly don’t have the skills to do what they are doing. I feel sorry for whoever buys this and to think what they could have had. It’s a 70s house… that pool area could have been a really neat sunken seating area… or anything. They literally paved over potential

the way they said homeowners can just use the outdoor space too ... just completely ignoring all the benefits of having a controlled environment to grow plants year-round that would die or just not grow outdoors bc of the local environment

And isn't boiling lava hot!

Why did they even slab it over with concrete???? What is the buyer going to do with that??????? If it was left as dirt the buyer could decide what they wanted to do. Same with the mural. Why do these things that cost extra money??????? You are not the one living in the house, leave some things up to the buyer!!

Yeah, a greenhouse in Florida is very different from the outside. It is way hotter here than the rest of the United States, so you can’t grow a lot of things outside because they die. My family’s outdoor garden is limited to what won’t die in the heat here. A greenhouse can be temperature regulated for things that won’t survive outside

@@PointsofData literally all that thing needed was a rented tiller to un-compact that dirt and a little elbow grease I'm so pissed off lmao. Concrete over a fuckin greenhouse I can't believe these ppl I genuinely HATE flippers. capitalists suck the soul out of everything they touch

@@m_here1 Yeah, there's a lot about this take that I don't understand. Greenhouses are most useful in climates where you can't grow things outside year round. They let you start seeds indoors early to get them out and planted as soon as it's warm enough. And they usually don't have dirt floors, because you're not planting things in the ground. And big glass houses are hot as heck. I don't actually know WHAT you could do with that space in Florida. I wouldn't want to swim in a pool in there either.

hopefully it works fast s/

That shit is fucking terrifying like seriously 😨

My sister had to get rid of asbestos and it required a true remediation team. It gets everywhere and you need pros to get rid of it.

Asbestos was banned in 1973. Given where that house is located, it was almost certainly built after that. I know because my grandparents lived there in the late-70s and bought their house new.

@@WSKRBSCT I have some depressing news for you in that just because something was banned doesn’t mean it wasn’t used. My college claimed we couldn’t possibly have asbestos in our dorms because of when it was put in. Ten years later when I was visiting my hometown they were fully remediating my old dorm because of the asbestos. My mom refused to test her plates for lead because of when they were made. I forced the issue by sending her lead tests and the plates had a ton of lead.

This is the wildest statement I've read today

Yes.

😂😂 I don’t know why anyone cares about this but your comment is really funny actually- good point 🎉❤

Next you’ll be telling me they are gonna bring me a birthday gift on my birthday to my birthday party on my birthday with a birthday gift‬.

ur actually right. Something abt this whole premise was confusing me and it’s this. The house is from the 70s already, what are they trying to 70ify???

Shallow people trying to be deep. Reminds me of how some people get into eastern religions because they're in tune with vibes or something

Yea that was so fucking weird they really think putting that new port richey mural on the wall is going to up the value of the home? I’d paint right over that shit WTF

"the artist studio is missing the art" is the most braindead thing i've ever heard for sure.

The thing that frustrates me the most about it is that it doesn’t make use of the rest of the wall-space. It’s difficult for me to explain. It’s just such an awkward shape and awkward spot for it to fit. It really does just look like a sticker or something…

The painting remind me of a Walmart shirt

Its (1) ugly and (2) hides a poorly done ceiling. Additionally it (3) accumulates dust and cobwebs like nothing else and you can barely clean it bc it'll rip up any rags you try to run on it since its texture is akin to rows and rows of lined up saws. On the plus side it dampens echoing....?

Yeah it would be weird to have tourist art with your own town in your own house 😂

@@princessjelloty for putting my hatred if popcorn ceilings into words

I had personally removed as much of my bedroom's popcorn walls as I could. Like how another mentioned, popcorn ceilings and walls accumulate dust and can't be easily cleaned. If I remember right, their initial purpose was to provide insulation for sound and temperature, and was also a trend for some time. However, the cons outweigh the pros for having them, especially if you're someone who suffers from issues like asthma (me). Tldr: it looks ugly and can be very unhygienic, but did experience some popularity for a while and does have some architectural purpose.

If someone has asthma, having popcorn ceilings would be a death sentence because of the collection of dust/mites.

Agree. Let the people who want to live there decide what their house want to look like. It will make the house a more meaningful home for them. Plus whoever buying the house will know that the interior will be on the Internet for people to see and some people might find that uncomfortable. I cry for the fireplace. Not sure if their decision is reversible.

​@@Ao-vj9pzyou could essentially build a new fireplace, but it'll be expensive at today's prices. 😢

There are no “deals” in the current housing market. Someone buying the house to fix it up and sell it is completely fine, but that person should be a trained licensed contractor and there should be proper documentation and inspections on all work done.

@@alexlabs4858 Yeah, so let's all LET people raise the price of the already expensive houses! YAY! Flippers are fucking over the housing market. Houses that are completely fine should be UNTOUCHED by anyone unless they wanna LIVE IN IT.

Everyone loves to rage at house flippers and landlords when you should be raging at your government. It is entirely their fault the western world is in a housing crisis. It is the government's damn job to regulate the market, not random upper middle class people. These house flippers are obviously idiots, but if there were more regulations it wouldn't be profitable, or necessary, to do so.

to be fair there are probably people who are harassing them in DMs too which we can't see, but even then most of the anger towards them is justified even if some people likely go too far with it which is pretty much impossible to avoid on the internet now

Either way, this destructive ass behavior deserves being bullied off any platform. Flippers and landlords are a cancer upon humanity.

I’m sorry but there are defo people sending them death threats, especially since people have been sent death threats for waaaay less than what she does with her husband. In this day and age of the internet, people genuinely have no boundaries and will blow up over things like this to the point of death and r word threats.

@@arsena5209 I don't think anger is the right word here, because I'm not sure if anger is justified at someone doing something with their own property if nobody is hurt by it...but I would say the piss being taken is justified.

@@cloudism4928 I mean, it was true in the old and mid days too, people just cared less and there was substantially less content creators, as well as people that legitimately had no sense of hiding their actual identity / life. I used to play Minecraft when I was 12 and this group of teenage men tried to find my address / phone number to post on 4chan because they were mad at me for a MC build lol. They could not find it, however, as I knew internet safety. At some point you really open yourself up to the entire world and that is unfortunate but I think it sort of goes without saying we should be cautious online and offline.

More especially in South Florida. When my sister and family first moved to Florida, they bought a house with no pool. Never had a pool before and didn't think it was a big deal. Well, it wasn't long before they sold and bought a house with a pool.

I do think it’s better for the structure of the house tho

​@@MichaelJEngelmann is wood not more stable than foam Edit: I was wrong on this one. The faux beam makes more sense because it's just decorative, although it does still look weird.

okay this is frustrating me, she never said it was foam. she said foax… check her captions. it could literally be made of anything

​@@sabrinamenges5910Granny Kokoro

​@@CryingPan not in the places they were placing foam... the beam could've put stress on the roof of the house to the degree it could impact the structural integrity of the home.

It looked cozy, and now I agree with Jarvis; it looks like it's still under construction.

​@@Caldellayeah, it would have looked fine if they had LEFT THE SMALL STONES VISIBLE though

The original fireplace was very 1970s, not a cute 1970s, but the home repair and decor around it would make it less of an eyesore and a more a part of the design scheme. Now with the beam, it's less 1970s nostalgia and more Beowulf banquet hall.

They should've stained the brick darker and warmer would've made the space so homey and instead they made it cold and sterile 😢

And it’s actually way closer to German schmear, much closer than what they did. Like it was basically already German schmear lmao

Calling a house cottagecore is wild though. Like it’s not a cottage and if it was a cottage it wouldn’t be “cottagecore” it would be a cottage

Whoa. How exactly were the toilet lids glued shut? (I'm trying to imagine a scenario where this makes sense and I'm coming up empty.)

In my house i rent right now Its an Illegally converted Duplex (They put up a sheet of drywall in the middle of the hall way to divide the house not only the the Main electrical Panel Partially blocked By the hood fan and Cabients and your literally cooking right next to it but there is Wire ran not even the walls as there 14/3 Lumex wire running in front of my front door covered by a Plastic track and bolted down with Wood screws into the Flooring.

To be fair tiles on top of tiles is not that unusual, depending on how the tiles were laid, my house had tiles laid in cement but they were cracked and broken and it was much cheaper to tile over them. The rest of that though, that’s just awful lmao

My parents old house, had a room extension built over the septic tank, lovely when you need to empty it 💩

​@MM-jf1me It's a decorative toilet... obviously 🙄

There's actually really nothing different, just the only difference I noticed is like cottage core architecture is more centered around more old European styles or like Colonial styles (like Tudor type homes) whereas Hobbit core is more centered around circles. Circle doors, entryways, etc. Like that's it. If you wanna be dirtier that's gremlin/goblin-core or crow-core. There's another 'core' I'm forgetting the name of that's like, in between these two but like in the same vein. You get the idea tho

Shs has no idea what a Hobbit hole looks like that's why. Probably didn't even know it was an aethestic, just wanted a funny "awful" word to use.

not to mention a mix of those would be SO CUTE AAAAAA like a more european style with more circles and aaaaa

it is genuinely wild to me that they said that, made the fireplace look hella ugly, and then proceeded to go with a full "70s" theme

They've never seen the movies and they've never read a book

Architectural history is a thing? That sounds actually amazing, wow!

they moved it to the garage, they didn't actually get rid of it

You said exactly what I was thinking on all parts but I'm especially baffled that as people who post on social media so much they seem completely unaware of how cringy people generally find text on interior decoration even if it doesn't say "live, laugh love".

I would have liked to have a greenhouse/garden space in my studio as well. That way having plant murals would actually make sense

Also that shelving they removed would have been perfect for pottery or glasswork. Or even just vases of flowers or potted plants.

Removing beautifull, functional storage/display space in a studio is a cardinal sin in my book. Now any person that moves in WANTING to use that space as a studio will have to put up some other storage option, likely covering the mural.

I screamed when they moved the shelf to the garage and painted an arch on the wall😭

Thats what i was thinking! You cannot say that you “just love 70s interior design so much” and then turn around and destroy any trace of funky wallapaper

Yeah like they wanted to make the fireplace “cottagecore” which is a MODERN aesthetic trend. Then they put the mural that looks like it belongs in a tourist trap inside the studio room. None of these choices remotely feel 70s inspired

And then installing mid century lighting which is a different vibe entirely

@@Yviene311quite literally a different decade

I’m convinced that aside from the obvious ragebait they’re doing, their idea of 70’s is the Brady Bunch

Japanese Zen? How is it that? I’m genuinely curious if I’m missing something 😭

WHAT

I watched another video about them, and the mold was on their own house, so at least there's that. 🤷‍♀

It was in their own house. BUT if they're willing to cover up black mold in their own home, I worry about what they would hide in what they intend to sell to others...

The artist studio is the one place that I’d argue for neutral colors to you know… allow the artist to decorate it with their own style

So they gave it the landlord special I see .

man its almost like they just wanna spruce up a house in the cheapest quickest way. considering risks like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes takes too much time!!

So true. Previous homes many times (not every time lol) were built for florida life. Now they're getting flipped for the broadest possible audience and the *feeling* of new but pretty much go against comfort in the local environment.

i’m in coastal mississippi and we have a bunch of people severely injured because of elevators for homes on stilts. the salt degrades them terribly and no one comes around to maintain them.

when I lived in Florida, my family and I lived in the fuckin dark, we had to or else we'd boil alive, seeing the blockades removed had me spiritually feel the house temp raise a few degrees

Yes - I felt that from Texas as well and I live for my dark cavernous home! It's too damn hot for big bright spaces

Honestly using it as a rental or air bnb is bs as well, just not quite as bad as the flipper bs.

Oooooh, that's a good point about why they're getting hate. They really are doing the most and could learn actual DIY and fixing best practices and share THAT online

@@twitchy_bird well renting it out to people isn't horrible, some people can't afford to buy houses and depend on renting, but air bnb is terrible for the housing market.

One of the big backlashes they got which Jarvis didn't include was them literally just covering a moldy roof panel with a new panel... NOT REMOVING THE MOLDY PART OF THE ROOF, JUST COVERING IT UP! Like they hid the fact that the house has a health hazard that can be extremely dangerous if you live in a house with mold.

@@jermuhh3359 i think it came out that this clip was from their own house instead of this one that they're flipping, and they actually fixed the mold problem. not 100% sure but that's what i heard

Oh that? That's my little private backyard, only I'm allowed inside

I thought it was a sun room? Either way yes. Yes she did

It's not a greenhouse or a sun room. Florida houses mostly have screened in areas. The bugs would eat you alive otherwise.

@@NotKateHepburn Why can't it be both, the previous owners where clearly using it as a greenhouse space.

​@@artemiishcaroline from stardew valley:

its like they think structural beams are there like, just for looks? like, they serve an actual architectural purpose, they arent meant to simply look nice. it's just a happy coincidence that exposed wood beams look nice.

People shouldn't do things such as this if they aren't trained properly, hire someone to renovate the house if you can afford it. I'm saying this because our house is currently being renovated and we know it will not only be nice but it also will be safe to use those areas after it has been finished!

A wood beam that goes right into the chimney. It's like someone gluing a fuel tank door onto the door of an electric car: no concept of function, only a vague sense of aesthetic.

And they say they went with a foam beam because they couldn't physically lift a real wooden beam. It's more likely that real wooden beams of that size, in addition to being heavy, are also expensive as hell. Like a beam of that size (looks at least 8"x8"x20'), that looks good enough to leave exposed, and with the correct color/finish, could easily be $1500 if not more. Not to mention the cost of strapping hundreds of pounds of wood to your ceiling so that it doesn't come crashing down on someone's head in 5 years.

GAHAHAAAHA!!! 😂

My thoughts exactly, like if that was my studio that mural is getting a major facelift and fast. Like keep the color palette and plants, but the text has to go.

@@rexana_rexana I just don't get why they or the artist felt the need to put text on it at all when the internets made it clear it's often seen as a cringy millennial trend, what's wrong with a mural of some scenery, plants or a basic sunset?

I thought it was going to be some kind of plant mural to compliment the many windows in the room. The text makes it look like an advertisement to a cafe.

Why on earth would they put words on a home mural such a weird choice like at least write live laugh love

its getting immediately painted over when the next person moves into that house lol. What was going on in that artists head?

I would freakin love a swimming pool in my house. Shame they poured concrete all over it, painted a touristy mural on the wall, and moved the artsy shelves into a place where they can get damaged

I think that may be one of the points, make it so $$$ for average individuals that there’s no choice unless it’s sold to a corporation to “do the right thing and make repairs”. So it’s just an unflattering hostile cage that makes people want to sell for what they believe is a lot of $$$.

Please tell me if wasn't this same house. Poor house.

its a weird assumption to make "yeah nobody would want a swimming pool, lets clog it up". Something like a pool doesn't need to be flipped or removed, that is an option for the buyer to make

The thing is, if they were doing this do their house - I would say no one has the right to critique them taste wise. Someone wants a roofbeam but for any reason don’t want the real wood, it’s suppose to be purely aesthetic? Go off, do the foam one if u like it it’s your home. But if I went in, saw that and thought that it’s a house with a roof beam and then either found out or was told it’s just a foam for esthetics… man I’m walking off and not looking back. It’s unnecessary, unneeded and actually makes more work for new homeowners. The reason ppl buy “neutral” houses is that it’s the easiest to customize to u. If u want to make a house with character just leave the original character in! Fix the real issues for god sake. Again, if they would do it to their home, it would be fine. Do it. U like it u live in it, all good. But renovating something to their tastes, and asking bigger price for home that has fake purely aesthetic fixes is just scummy man… cos u know that in 99% of cases u would be putting more money in that house to change or fix some stuff after u buy it. That’s just off putting.

its genuinely so dangerous for them and others 💀

okay different comment but i was watchinf it anr they NO PPE WENT AFTER A POPCORN CEILINF??? THATS STRUAGHT ASBESTOS WHAT THE FUCK ok edit he wore a mask. nothing else. and WENT STRAIGHT INTO ASSSBESSTOOOSSSS.

Hate to say it, but they won't be flipping for much longer with this lack of basic safety.

iirc they also painted over dark coloured mold in the "indoor porch" ceiling without even batting an eye or considering getting it tested 🥴🥴

it’s natural selection at this point

M8 in my city locusts like those have destroyed about 80% of our historical center, it completely breaks my heart :(((

And veneer is super mid century. It can break down over time but it's on the ceiling so it's not as if it will get chipped from moving around and weather degradation.

Also, yknow...I'm no house engineer but the wood probably will hold the chandelier...at all. As opposed to the foam. Which I would wager will...eventually and very suddenly not.

Yes and the foam is one of the ways to get around putting a heavy piece of wood on your ceiling. They didn’t make it themselves, it’s a product you buy for this purpose. I like it personally. Hopefully there is actual wood or some supports behind the light to give it structural integrity.

@nellier3468 Fam I don't think they put anything but foam up there. They would have said otherwise, or shown us...

Flippers and consideration are like oil and water

Also, why would I essentially want a logo with the name of where I live on the wall?

As a designer, white walls are perfect: it is easier to take photos, you have better control of the light, you can distinguish colors better and, of course, you have a wall to paint or use as a display.

I hate the bougie "I be living in a city I am in" vibe get out of here

Building inspection who ? 🙈🤡 regrouting/recaulking where? 🗺👀 This is rich people's hobby tbh

They’ve probably realised online rage bait is a better get rich quick technique than house flipping

I think you nailed the reason why people are hating on this couple, partly because that's also exactly what made me hate this couple and I haven't even used tik tok in like 3 or 4 years

Yes!!! It's like a slap in the face. Like you could afford to buy this house and THIS is what you choose to do with it??

@@BeehiveBoy such a beautiful house too. some houses have that really nasty 70s aesthetic with shag carpets and brown everywhere but this house was almost perfect. it had style while still being somewhat modern. the open space, the white walls and kitchen, beautiful studio, massive backyard. it was a perfect home for a family and they just utterly destroyed it.

I wonder what could be causing people to not be able to afford a home. [Looks at landlords and house-flippers jacking up house prices]

The internet is very passionate about a lot of things, but I think most people would ignore someone's questionable personal taste if they were at least making an effort to make something better. Attaching a foam beam to a ceiling and hanging a light off it is stupid, but easily fixable. Having a very generic "mural" painted in an art room where any artist is likely to want to showcase their own work is, again, stupid but easily fixable. Ruining a fireplace to the extent that the new buyer will have to tear the whole thing out themselves and filling a swimming pool that just needed some repair with concrete... less so. Then there's the fact everything they've done was cosmetic so why exactly was this house so unsellable? A lot of the time properties like this sit abandoned because they have severe structural issues, electrical issues or other very expensive problems that the average buyer is just not going to want to deal with. I think that's what the internet is really so upset about - another pair of slumlords doing the barest minimum to turn a profit and leaving behind a huge, expensive (and likely undisclosed - always have your own inspections done when buying a home!) mess for the buyer to put right.

uninspiring tbh

Imagine everyone visiting your ART STUDIO and asking "did you paint that?" pointing at the wall, and having to say "no" lol.

As a fellow artist the only reason I'd want someone else's mural in my studio would be if it's from someone I look up to and know personally. Not the random people who sold the house to me lmao

literally looks like average coffee shop mural which isnt bad but looks terrible in a house

also why would i want it to state the city im in lol. it would be a cute t shirt design or tourist attraction ig but this is my dwelling??

And if an artist ever does live there, one of the first things they'll do is add a bunch of storage for all their materials, kind of like that beautiful wall of shelving they decided to hide away in the garage 🥲

If I had the money to buy a house with an art studio, and like I was REALLY serious about getting a nice studio set up, I would be so incredibly picky about any murals on the wall. Might very well be the thing that makes me go for a different house on my list. It's something I have to look at everyday afterall, and if it doesn't make me happy then...nah. 😩 I wouldn't have the money, time or skill to redo it myself so if it's not something I like I'm not going for it. And hell no it ain't a studio (yet) if there ISN'T ANY STORAGE THERE LEAVE THE SHELVING JFC.

Man if I had a giant art studio space with white walls perfect for painting my own thing only for the best wall to paint on to have it's own thing on with words on it that's clearly someone's work idk if I'd feel too bad to paint over it and allow myself the enjoyment of doing my own thing, even if it would be worse it would be my own thing tho. I don't get them saying in general putting their own 'personality' in a home they don't intend to keep and not allowing the actual owners to develop their own personality in it, even if their personality wasn't cement gardens and poop coloured doors

if an artist lives there, I would hope the first thing they'd do is fucking repaint it lol.

literally heartbreaking

Dude SUCH A GOOD POINT

Worse is that removing concrete is intensely difficult, time consuming, and expensive to dispose/recycle. Partner and I are still scarred from removing a small sidewalk in our backyard.

I forgot what video this is and tought that concrete slabs are going to be in minecraft 🤣

right???? wtf is even the point of ADDING concrete? if they wanted it to be an open room with more possibilities, i would have understood them taking out the walls of the pool/garden bed. now there is just a narnia looking sacrificial altar in their sunroom :(

Some do and some don't. It depends on the flipper and the house they started with. There are a lot of new constructions that are absolute garbage too. More than anything you need to make sure you have the house inspected by a quality house inspector.

They spend all their money on the right shade of beige and polyester "wood" beams.

@@SayaCeline this as-well develop an eye for tacky work and finishes as-well as do ur research of the property. And as a framer who has built over 15 houses for major home developers new builds can have the same issues.

My house was "flipped" but it was a good house to begin with. The owners before the "flippers" took good care of it, one died the other got put in a nursing home. All the "flippers" did in my case was paint the walls. 🤷‍♀️

@@KZfaqThrowaway-lj9vy They're not called flippers, they're just looking after the place. "Flippers" are self-taught renovators.

asbestos???? Jesus christ sue the hell out of them!!

I really, really, really, REALLY! hope you sue the shit out of them and win, because holy shit?!?! that's fucking criminal, what the fuck

I wish you the best with the lawsuit. Some inspectors are great in some don't care. Am so sorry you didn't get a good one. These kind of things are nothing to just not care about.

it's really sad that we live in a world where house value is based on how it looks and not how it functions...as a house

Damn. Best of luck to you, you deserve the money 100%, the repairs needed for that house is going to be one pain in the ass that you shouldn’t have to deal with in the first place.

I mean having seen the video, the stones were like coming up out of the ground, not flush to the floor, which can become a tripping hazard, so as long as it gets replaced with something equally fire resistant, like flat stone tile, there nothing inherently wrong with removing those; however, I don't have much faith in this couple to know what fire safety code even is

​@@rexana_rexana I think they could have made it slightly smaller as it was large, but not got rid of it entirely it is important as you say they may have put something non computable as the flooring, but the outer hearth also acts as a demarcation to show do not put anything flammable past this point, getting rid of that means there is no physical warning.

I read the comments on the original video and they said it was a gas fireplace so embers weren’t a problem.

@@bluebirds_and_bees are good that was lucky, although wouldn't but it past these two to try and use it as an actual fireplace

The outer hearth being raised up is not necessary, it's actually often not in many homes. I've lived in a couple homes where the inner and outer hearth were level with the floor. Whether that is fire code now, I don't know, that's just what I've lived in, and I've never had a house fire. As long as the outer hearth is expansive enough and is fire proof enough, that is minimum requirement. If fire code nowadays requires an elevated outer hearth then that just goes to show how these house flippers shouldn't be doing what they're doing (and I also don't, but I don't build houses). If they're not following fire code they need to be shut down immediately

So, just don't sell them. Easy peasy. If you let people buy, people will buy. You have no right to complain about what people do with their money, their time, and their property.

@@kyuokuo your on a video about bad house renovations and defending how bad they are..? 💀🤦🏻‍♀️

​@@kyuokuo you do know one of the main reasons houses are for sale are because the previous owners passed away, right? How are people supposed to prevent that lmao 💀

​@@kyuokuo"It's YOUR fault that the grimy rich people are exploiting the housing market, actually."

Gentrification is the new trend

That likely hurts the resale value as well. It’s hot in Florida, and now they have this huge slab of concrete that is going to heat up like crazy and become unusable in the summer. They would’ve gotten more money out of the house if they had restored the pool. Private pools are huge feature of a Florida home that can really increase the price because you have a way to be outside in the summer without dying in a pool of sweat. Plus, it’s fun.

it would've been a stunning greenhouse type thing

@@m_here1 Holy shit, I didn't even think of how hot that concrete is going to get.... That's going to cost so much to cool down that house.

yeah this house is the opposite of a flip. they WILL NOT get their money back. the house will 100% NOT SELL. anyone seeing that backyard as a giant slab of concrete inside a now useless greenhouse with a giant turd on the ceiling is going to walk away.

Same. To me the worst thing they did was fill in the pool. A pool is a great way to relax and/or get some exercise in. I'd love a pool and/or a hot tub in my house

My eye started twitching lmao. I could fit ALL of my stuff in that

It was such an artsy furniture as well 🥲 It would fit in almost any of the artists' studios, meanwhile the mural is a very personal choice.

Ikr!! I would kill for that much storage space!

Should have left it there; painted it black; and called it Jennifer Anderson. Now that's thinking like an artist!

I mean tbf it looks like that garage wall is right on the other side of the studio wall, so they could potentially still keep their art supplies there.

it gives taylor swift complaining about "haters" when talking about people who find her music to be mediocre

Especially because they asked. I just stumbled upon their video of the fireplace and when they asked so I shared my thoughts. Then all of a sudden everything was harassment? What the he'll guys, talk about fragile ego

@@athena5573 When did she do that?

The mold renovation was on their own home, not one they were flipping. Though that does make you question the quality of their flips if that is what they think is ok for themselves.

​​@@athena5573 taylor swift doesn't gaf about people thinking her music is mediocre lol. the "haters" she talked about were people slutshaming her for her dating history.

(I know they're not 100% real, but) just look at shows like House Hunters. Potential buyers will turn down a house because the walls are a "weird" color let alone a mural that doesn't fit their style

@raven_moonshine39 the issue is there's a difference between people doing things for a tv show and practical marketing stuff. The type of people you would market the initial house to would probably prefer to fix it themselves, prefer an 70s aesthetic, and are the type to enjoy an artist studio and garden. The practical and cheaper option is testing for and removing asbestos & lead, cleaning grout and replacing caulking and treating/removing any mold hazards. The things they replaced it with are basically death traps or just drawing attention to the issues in the home. By doing all the uneeded things they can bump up the price and tack on a higher price tag on the listing thats going to be much more expensive for the buyer on top of the house issues that may already be there they're going to have to fix

As a fellow artist I completely agree, storage for art supplies and old artworks/sketchbooks would be so much more useful. Also, artists usually like to have art they aspire to or their own art in their studios and it differs so much person to person, I have no idea how they thought that having a canva looking mural was going to add to the value of the space....

100% this

Yeah I'm an artist and this mural in my studio would be a pain to deal with. You either feel guilty for covering it up cause it's precious wall space for storage or work (or cause it's just distracting if it's not your vibe) or it ends up getting worse with time because of paint splatters and stuff. Y'all, pretty art studios aren't realistic, it WILL get messy!

Honestly, I would t even trust these two to watch a child. The stubborn incompetence is insane.

And without safety goggles… yikes

It's less of an electrical fire hazard and more of a structural hazard --electrician apprentice

Trust me when you Go and do Service calls for houses you know right way is something is a Homeowner job or done by a Professional. These Flippers are just DIYers and nothing more. No professional would ever butcher the Fireplace like that.

It's funny because Tolkien spends the first several paragraphs of Book 1 saying a Hobbit Hole is homey as fuck.

Flippers taking a potentially affordable home renovating it and it's now unaffordable for the people who used to be able to afford a liveable home makes me just a little bit feral. Between the housing market and my disabilities I've basically accepted that I'm never owning my own home and it's going to be a miracle if I can ever afford to live alone

You speak true and this us a worldwide problem. Im in europe and every second hand home is an absurd price and obviously meant as an investment and not a living place. Everyone seems to have 5 houses they dont use and dont care about selling, theyd rather let them rot than lose some imagined profit

Plus, you wouldn't have to be outside in the crazy heat to enjoy it.

Wow, this comment unlocked some random info I didn't even know I knew, lol. Koi fish are not small, some fish can get sunburned, and I believe there are some reported cases of fish developing melanoma actually. I don't think that's a good location for a fish pond in general. I would be worried about the effect of run off on the water quality. Apparently it rains a lot in southern Florida, so maybe it could be a cute, shallow little decorative pond instead.

And that fact that they seem to think that indoor garden space and outdoor garden space are equal “it’s okay that we destroyed a perfect greenhouse look how much dirt is outside”

I was thinking how amazing it was to have a garden space that was mosquito-free! I agree with the person whose comment was screenshot for the video that fixing the pool would've been a better investment than a concrete slab -- there's a reason screened-in pools are so common in Florida and it's because people want pools they can actually enjoy.

I don’t understand why so many people are calling it a greenhouse or thinking that space is indoors/not in the heat? Maybe this is just a Florida thing, but it is 100% outside. It is a concrete pool deck that has a screen around it. We call it a lanai. The only thing that’s maybe throwing people off is there is no pool because it was filled in with dirt, which is very strange. It must have got a crack in the foundation and was too expensive to fix and too dangerous to leave a giant empty hole so they filled it in.

To be fair even though its a fake foam beam there probably still isn't any kind of junction box...

Would you see a lot of wooden beams running directly into the updraft of a fireplace?

@@pcguy619 i thought the same thing, but i wasn't going to say it

Yep! I remember them saying that it wasn't this house with the mold on the pod

Not to mention the dirt and plants would’ve helped to cool the area whereas the concrete is a literal heat sink.
