A five year journey remodeling a 100+ year old farmhouse with my wife! We love it, and I'm sure our dog Apollo loves it too! If I'm not remodeling our home, I'm filming other projects. I started a videography business a few years ago, and it's been pretty rewarding. Oh, and every now and then we'll take a family trip and film the best parts of it (check out the few we have already)!
This is awesome! Congrats on this project! I am thinking about renovating mine. It looks very similar to this one, I am not sure the results will be the same 😅. Question, did you have any concern about the insulation? Like no airflow between insulation and the roof? I can see some nails sticking out in the first minute. Congrats on the video too! It tells a lot without saying a word!
What size was the window? How about the glass above the window? I noticed you were able to install window from the inside did you cut out wood to access for that? Did you hire a structural engineer to help with calculations to strengthen the room and floor / ceiling joists?
Yes. So window is around 42x48 or something like that. Found that little window as well at a retail store of some sort. Yes, I’ve had advice for the structure. It’s just making sure what’s under it that matters and what size. So it worked.
@@HomeMadeNew OK thank you. I asked you area because I have an attic that I’m transforming into a finish second floor and I’m not sure how to insulate it. I am in Minnesota with very cold winters humid summers.
Looks great!!! I didn't see any HVAC though. How are they going to keep that space cool in the summer?? Will they be able to use that space? I'm not down playing what you did but at the same time, are they going to be able to use that beautiful space that you created?? Was that even discussed? Did you just do what they wanted to make that cash??
Hey, the algorithm pushed this to me, and I’m so glad it did! Do you remember what your budget was for the project? I am considering similar projects at my house, but I’m not sure whether what you did was a $5,000 project, a $50,000, etc. Thanks for the inspiration!
I appreciate it! So if you do it all alone. Might have a few things to do it. Might not have to do all the electrical stuff. Don’t need a window you can do it in $3,000. Prices were less years ago so that’s the only catch.
Hi,first of all, great video! I am about to add an attic to my small house and I plan doing something like this. Can you please tell me your dimensions (width and height)?
My attic looks like the builder just threw wood everywhere. I can navigate through openly. Everytime I go up there it's a reenactment of American Ninja Warrior
Something I can't figure out is how the ventilation aspect is handled. I don't see that you had vents in the sides, so I'm wondering how you incorporate ventilation to mitigate roof damage? Really nice job either way, looks great.
It’s a unique roof. One side has another roof on top of it. So half of it is vented there the other side will get rebuilt and vented through baffels and I’ll be doing a metal roof.
I love watching this videos! I recently moved to a house for rent . Me and my daughter. I didn’t know it came with an attic! And my 5year old wants her room there. Unfortunately my room is too small for her to have her own bed in the room/ play room. This gave me an idea on what to do with the attic but also I can’t afford to make it that fancy lol or maybe something similar? Any tips? Thanks!
If there is enough space. Depends what kind of space you want it shouldn’t be too hard if it’s reinforced well. Probably a good ac unite is my advice. Make sure air is moving. I found stuff on Facebook market too.
Where do you find your music instrumentals? I just subscribed to you Mr channel loved the attic renovation was wondering about the instrumental on that video as well.
I’m not construction saavy but remembering where the electrical light lines would have my nerves wrecked but I believe you may have pre drilled some holes to help you? 2:14
