You are one smart kid. I like the way you think. It is interesting how many of us make dumb mistakes on a lot of things besides cars. It's not rocket science, but we as people make dumb mistakes all the time. I'm an old guy now when I worked I drove cheap late-model wrecks from the wrecking yard. It worked really well. Now retired I drive a Hertz 2017 Toyota Corolla. It had about 30,000 miles when I got it. I change the oil and filter myself. I will probably not need another car. Here's what the way you think saved me a lot of money. I worked for the Federal Government and drove my car and they paid me. I saved the money from driving wrecked cars, and changing my own oil, etc in my cheap but nice cars. That money I invested in my retirement program so I have a bigger annuity payment every month!

It might have been easier to do a tear down and just rebuild from scratch with everything that you wanted . But where is the challenge in that J R ?

I like the mechanical room updates. Watching and learning much from the smart water meter and softener. Please keep updating this part of the build.

Power behind the Toilet for a Bidet. I love mine and save on TP!😊

Dumb concept for a video....carmax would sell it for salvage

Watch This Old House Go

Anytime you rip a wall down…insulate it for sound before you close it up. Especially bathrooms. Water is noisy. But just keeping sound from traveling from room to room is never a bad idea.

You need building permits ?

Watch JR's House? I'm digging the content, that's for sure!

Don't let you government fool you into thinking they are going to fight for you rights.... Land of the free huh?

is something eric cant do ?

Don't leave Pex dangling for too long. You want to run directly from the appliance to the wall and have it solidly secured. The metal couplers are harder than the tubing. A side load for too long on the joints will weakend the connection between the coupler and the tubing. Especially any diameter over half inch because the water is heavy. Also they say heat doesn't hurt Pex but most repairs Ive had to do were joints just after the water heater so use the metal extensions between the heater and the pex run. Good luck with that spider's web of pipes and wires in the utility room. Maybe put up some bungee cords until you get to installing hangers.

Watch JR complain and over dramatize again, try to be more positive and not a negative Nelly.

That is a major overhaul of this house…I wonder what it would have cost to raze and rebuild?

Pocket doors separating the dining from kitchen could be dope

Electric outlet by the toilets? Are you putting in an awesome japanese toilet?

Hever over look the mighty small window ac unit.... looks bad works heck yes.

The answer is simple. Any car MFR that locks you out don't buy their cars! Stellantis (owner of Chrysler and many bands now ) cars are terrible, long history of failures (remember Renault Alliance?). Also they have the highest recalls out there and don't produce as many vehicles as GM. Look at Fiat sales in 2024 pitiful. Consumers have power!

I used to love PEX. The manifold, the ease of installation, the fact that its so quiet when water runs through it. But you know what I noticed after living with it in a previous house? It makes the water taste a little funny. And now we are reading news stories saying that they're finding microplastics in everyone's testicles. So as old fashioned as it may seem, I think copper is still the best way to go (yeah, its probably a bit too late to change now). I suspect one day we'll look back on PEX plumbing the way we now look back on lead pipes.

Appliance Closet... What an idea! I wish I had one... Seems like all my females can't stop buying more countertop appliances... To which I always ask "where does it go????"

JR - I know you have a cell phone but a Field Notes notebook would be a life saver for when you make a trip to the home improvement store and don't want to forget anything - I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and I STILL use a $.39 field notes book to jot down things all the time....

Looing good! Quality progress is the best progress. I am looking forward to the appliance closet, it sounds epic. Thanks for the update on the mechanical room, it is the heart and lungs of the house.

Hey!

I wonder if the house still smells like cigarettes?

Air fryers ...1700-1800 watts

Put in Cat 6 or 7 everywhere while you have the chance. Maybe you want a Ubiquity Pro doorbell camera or a central place to put your smart switch hub or better WiFi coverage.

The government has shown clearly that they intend to control everything, if we are foolish enough to allow it. From now on, we will own nothing that we aren't willing to take by force.

Just here to watch EricGo, the mans a grafter 👌🏻👍🏻

You should replace all the sheet rock in the house. Will be cheaper than trying to patch everything and you house will have a new home smell

The place is really shaping up! I'm so jealous of you. I've done this three times, over the years. Living in the house, during construction. We were so pissed at the first place we bought, we gutted everything and lived in a single bedroom with a stove and washing machine in the basement. When we finished, we were so tire, we didn't even open the door on the original bedroom for nine or ten months. Keep the faith, it'll be done before you know it. Stay safe and thanks.

Stop buying things that will ruin you !

@WatchJRGo, can you please make a Playlist of ALL family in videos PRETTY PLEASE?

I want to see it worked on🤨

Digging the time-lapse music

What's with the goofy 70's music for the timelapse!?!? LOL

From pit to palace. Is there a pool that started to guess when JR is moving in?

Why repair anything when everything is designed as a single use throw away item, including tractors and cars.

I think that the carbon cleaner will make you cat become crystallized. Am i wrong?? You should do a update with a comparison using to ATS 505 Carbon treatment. "Qhat say you'!? 😃

Don't worry you'll be moving in no time just take your time breathe and everything will work out

At least 3 circuits in the small appliance area.

This house has come a long way since the 70s looking forward to seeing the finished product 😊😎

The finish line is closer than it seems. Everything will go smoothly and you’ll be moving into Hugh's bungalow in no time.

Deadline? Sounds likeyou sold your old house?! Congrats

*Suggestion* : I love that chop saw trolley thing. If you ever have a slack moment ( doubtful ! ), could you and Eric do a "rig rundown" and take us through the tools you're using ( the saw, the saw trolley thing, the ladders, Eric's utility belt/ suspender thing, that huge spirit level, hammers you prefer etc ). For us amateurs, it would be interesting I think. Either way, great progress and greetings from Prague, CZ

life hack - put 230V in the kitchen and buy European appliances.

More car videos please

Don’t forget the sub floor

So Eric needs the step ladder too.Its a huge project so good luck with it
