My husband and I are taking our 1881 Brooklyn house back to the studs to create our modern family home + 2 rental apartments. Sean and I met in 1994 walking in opposite directions down Broadway on a sunny spring afternoon on the Upper West Side and have been together for 26 years. We became fathers 20 years ago and were lucky enough to have been in the delivery room for the birth of our daughter in Texas. I grew up in Ohio and Sean's from Australia. He's an actor and I'm a TV producer. We're both freelance workers so having rental income has always played an important part in our finances. Finally, after ten years of saving our money we've begun a gut renovation of our 1881 house and are already learning SO much about how townhouses were built 140 years ago and what it's going to take to bring it into the 21st century and become our family home.
Please do not buy from this company. They take your order, tell you 12-14 weeks delivery and then go silent on you . I have received two emails from them, one says thanks for the order, the second say we are painting your pergola. That second email was 3 month after the order was placed. Tried calling and emailing several times and no response. I still don't have my order.
I am having the same issue. Been 3 months and now they are saying it will be another 2. The entire summer AND fall are gone. Looking into fighting them through our credit card.
What is the running wattage of your system? This looks fantastic, well worth the investment, especially if you plan to live there long term as you age and want to shovel less and less lol
50 yrs ago when our town built a new library, they installed this in all the walkways surrounding. But found that unless it was left on24/7 the walkways re-froze and was worse and more expensive in the long run than anticipated. I'm glad it works for you. How is it after 2 yrs?
I own two 100 year old houses and sagging floors is something I've had to live with and remodel around for years. I've done a fair share of searching for leveling solutions and how to cut tapered angles on 2x4 etc. This is a fantastic video that thoroughly explains the process. Your GC is a knowledgeable guy and explains everything very well. Thank you for the video
God loves you and I know you’ve heard this many times throughout your life but I’d love it if you would just give him another try with an open mind I’m sure he’d love it and reveal his truth to you, love you and great idea I’m thinking about putting this around my homestead one day I’m not sure though. ❤❤❤
I’ve followed you on Tik Tok for a couple years now. As a home owner, I run into problems I don’t have a solution to. Sloping stairs to the left just happens to be one of those problems currently. Glad I came across this video. I knew instantly I was in good hands with the information provided, due to your Tik Tok presence. Thank you so much. ❤
I’ve been wondering what you’d do when you finished - btw, it’s looking fabulous; the wooden floors are so warm with the medium light - and can’t wait to see what you fill it with furniture-wise. But, have you given any thought to even beyond that point? Maybe add some rental properties and renovate them? You guys are too good at videography, etc. to let your talents go to waste once this space is complete…
We've been so happy with it, although it's MOSTLY been used for a work crew machinery space for the last month, but TODAY we get it back all to ourselves!
That was a great choice! Changing the width every other board really adds a design element and makes it so unique. I love those little plugs to hide the screws. Just beautiful! ❤
I believe that NYC building code/fire code prohibits you from covering more than 20% of your roof with combustible materials. Composite materials like Timbertech are considered apparently-at least by DOB. So, before you pursue the timer tech on your roof much further, I suggest you research this a bit more. A good alternative is to use lightweight 2’x2’ porcelain pavers on pedestals. They’re really nice looking, and you won’t get in trouble w DOB
