Please keep the front door, it's the signature of the house. My 1935 house here in Florida still has it's original front door. My brother says tear the house down, but I won't, it still has the quirky old character.
I just got one, similar setup. My hardware store didn't know everything about the saw, either, I did my own research on the Sawstop website and just gave them my parts list. I wouldn't say that your local hardware shop is nickel-and-diming you, though... Sawstop is the one doing that. They have a monopoly on the industry (for now), and they exploit that in my opinion. $600 for my router extension table is absolutely insane. And they don't allow any retailers to sell anything on sale. I chatted with their customer support a few times, and they act like they're the coolest thing since sliced bread, it's annoying.
Agree with that. The adjustable router insert for the table extension was $500 by itself- we still haven't used the router unfortunately. My comments sent to Saw Stop were very specific- have a guide for end sellers to be able to put the packages together. Our vendor, Acme Tools, said they wouldn't return the incorrect part they sold us. What? Needless to say we are starting to purchase more from Campbell Supply.
I would think twice before turning that into a rental property. It's going to get trashed and that would be a sin. I would repair, not modify the bathroom, keep the original fixtures and install ceramic tile. I would also have an electrical assessment done. That house is too nice to be a rental property.
We are having the electrical updated- removing as much knob and tube as reasonable. The bathroom we have some decent plans for to give it an old school feel.
@@buildcr Thanks for answering - very gracious, as I'm aware you don't have to. Glad to hear the knob and tube is going (for safety) and I'm sure you'll be happy with what you do in the bathroom, after all, it is your property and you must be happy with it before all other considerations. Wish you luck.
New subscriber! You guys are brave to take on an old house like this. Looking forward to your plans. The wood is gorgeous. I grew up in an old house; just because it’s old doesn’t make it enjoyable to live in! That bathroom sink🙄, I know it’s original, but going back and forth from hot to cold to get a moderate temp is a pain! The kitchen is no loss to lose. Many problems you will encounter. Will be watching👍🏻💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They’re flippers. I don’t think they care much about keeping the original character. It’s only about money. That upstairs bath is an example. I understand needing to redo it. But keep that sink and medicine cabinet! They’re original to the house! Use them somewhere. In the basement bathroom, if nothing else.
We are not flippers, haha. We save what we can to reasonably put the home back to a clean, safe and habitable space. And we absolutely will preserve as much history as we can. We love the character. If you know about these older homes it isn't always feasible to retain everything to get to new standards.
Definitely not! Keeping all wood work but the kitchen and bathroom are not salvageable. Will be keeping wood floors, all wood trim but need to update from knob and tube and get the kitchen and bath updated.
Very nice. I am wondering if you're going to keep the bathroom as historical as possible. Also the front room with the built-in cabinets IS the dinning area. The side room off the kitchen may have been used as a small kitchenette area with a small table set-up. Surprised the house is in such good shape. Most homes of that era have been massively renovated beyond all hell lol.
Pretty much everything in the bathroom needed to replaced for it to be up to code and so we don't have to open up the walls again in the future for plumbing issues. Thank you for the information!
Don't disagree one bit. We use track saws mainly in the field and use the shop saw for smaller projects. We're just getting stuff set up at the moment.
