GOING BACK TO OUR ROOTS! A New StudPack Remodel Project! 

If you guys have any projects that you'd like to see on this remodel project let us know right here!

Layman dad suggestions. Keep one tub if you want kids. Keep the tree just lose the lower limbs. shade rules

"Im married into a good family guys" You sure are Rad! Love to all the Stud Pack family!

Rad can talk! So much of the time he’s behind the scenes are doing the work, cool to hear him speak and take a lead here

I hope there’s a plan somewhere to build Paul and mom a nice place where they can chill at some point. Paul is a real one. One of the hardest workin dudes on RU-vid.

Congratulations Stud Pack family

Paul must have the energy of 10 guys! He takes a break from building one house by remodeling another! This guy blows me away! And well done, Rad and Summer! What a great house you bought!

AC Guy here. A good way to always put the filter in the correct way, just remember, the metal or braced side goes inside - or back towards the unit. It provides support for the air trying to collapse the filter inwards.

That’s awesome! Rad was definitely a great addition to Stud Pack

Speaking of ROI, trees add to it, taking one out will reduce. It might be worth while to get an arborist in to assses the risk before making a decision. Excited for this build!

Summer must have some deep pockets.

So enjoyable watching a young couple express their dreams. Looking forward to the videos!!!

The thing that caught my attention was Rad mentioning his dad. I don’t see a lot of ADU or ADA renovations except as afterthoughts and that would be pretty interesting. EDIT PS: Congrats to Rad and Summer on new house! (I should have led with that)

Congratulations Rad & Summer!!!! 🥂🥂🍾🍾

And so it begins. "This is going.... No its staying. .. I'll sledgehammer it myself" 😀😃😄 looking forward to it! Good luck, especially to Dad ( stuck in the middle)

Dang. I bought my house knowing it needed work. Full gut. This place is turn key. An already gorgeous home. Just hire a cleaning crew, fix a few odds and ends and move on in! Forget the Joneses.

Hi Summer and Rad. Congrats on the new house!! Love your ideas but consider a hood vent over the range and move your microwave to a different location. It really elevates the look of the kitchen. Cant wait to follow your progress.

I’m pumped for this series. I didn’t get a very good look at it but, my first feeling was to not remove that tree in the back. It looks like it’s providing some great shade for you guys outside and, more importantly, for the house in that Texas heat. For projects, I know it’s fairly big but I’d like to see you guys do an aero barrier (or whatever it’s called now) since it’s a 30 years old and go for a really energy efficient house remodel. For the backyard, go for a hedgerow barrier/fence for maximum privacy.

A game room over the garage would be ideal. I can’t imagine giving up a two car garage.

What a blessing for them. Paul, you’re a good dad!

As a mum of 5 you will appreciate carpet in the bedrooms that are located upstairs. If it's because you don't want to take a vacuum upstairs, then get ducted vacuum system.

I’ve had dish drawers, as they’re called, before, and they’re quite handy for doing one load after another.

Holy crap! That's a LOT of changes. Summer looks just like Jordan! lol

They're gonna have some beautiful, talented Stud Pack Babies. 💪 Keep that design on the floor by the front door, please! I'm on Team Rad for that one.

That's a heckuva nice home as-is folks....but congrats on your new home!

suggestions: 1. start small, live in the house a little bit and learn what is really wrong with it (and right). cuz when you first move in you think "Oh i gotta change this" and within a few months you realize "gosh it's a good thing I didn't change this cuz it works really well (or not). And also how YOU use the house is almost certainly different than how the last people used the house and you gotta figure that out so you can make it fit your life.. 2. The deck. Decking is stupid expensive and it doesn't last (20/30 years esp in a wet environment like yours)). Because that one is so low to the ground it's almost certainly cheaper to do stamped and/or colored concrete that would last FOREVER. 3. That stairway is dark, and narrow. Opening it up would sure be nice. Without really affecting anything else. 4. Carpet on stairs is the way to go. yeah yeah doesn't look all that great, but you don't slip and fall to your death either. You can also do specialty carpet for just the stairway, so ti's different than up or down. But hardwood/tile/LVP stairs are slick as snot. thumpity thump thump wham

Most of that house looks pretty good already. I can see the upgrades making it ideal from a customization standpoint, but the house isn't extremely outdated.

I would keep the garage and make the game room above the garage. It’s nice to park your cars inside. One hail storm, and you will wish your car was inside.

Happy for you both. A recommendation...Keep the vehicles in the garage and put the game room and storage above. Vehicles cost money and the weather is hard on them. Do add the AC and heat to it. Add a TV for the games :) Maybe build flip up workbenches so you can pull to cars out to work on stuff? Working on projects in a garage is a lot better than in the house or in the yard...

I don't know but these bathroom vanities look just fine to me. I agree that the carpets must go and replace them with some flooring.

The attic upgrade with a bridge would be super upgrade ROI. Crazy!

I would get arborist to check out that tree, if its healthy maybe trim some of the limbs going towards the house , and leave it for its shade value. And just incorporate it into the deck or build deck around it giving it plenty of room to grow. But that all depends on the tree.

If your dreams don't scare you, you're not dreaming big enough. You have an amazing home. I hope you find all the joy with your renovations.

House is in pretty good shape: "Yeah, so we just need to demolish everything" @8:08 "you can add to the roi by fixing things up" Except obviously the next owner many not like whatever you did and just want to tear it all out..

Summer my wife prior remodeling our house she printed out on from Redfin and Zillow her perfect kitchen, perfect shower, perfect game room. This will make it easier for your dad to understand exactly what you want . Color of kitchen cabinets. Enjoy your new home and congratulations to you and Brad.

Congrats Rad and Summer. You’ve got Paul on the job so you’ve got the best of the best!

Congratulations Stud Pack family you guys are awesome I have been doing carpentry since I graduated in 95 you would think I know it all but truth be told I don't I learn so much from this channel it truly is the best carpentry channel on RU-vid

There's no equity like sweat equity. Congrats Rad and Summer on your first house!

Dinning rooms never get used. Expand the kitchen into the dinning room. Expand the living room into the kitchen with the counter seating. Big folding panel doors onto the deck. One big indoor/ outdoor entertainment space, front to back, leading to the grill, fire pit, ice bath, rock wall, trampoline basketball court, zip lines, an affordable DIY Flowrider, axe throwing area backing onto the neighbors, etc.

CONGRATULATIONS! .. very nice for first home, mine was a little tiny box LOL... SFMF

To really elevate your kitchen, don't put microwave over stove. If you have room and budget, get wall oven (or 2!) and cooktop (I highly recommend Induction).

Congrats! Looks like a great property. Looking forward to all the content. Keep up the great work, guys and gal! :)

That tree is providing a lot of beneficial shade in Texas, especially for a 90s home that might not be insulated that great. Cut some limbs, but you will appreciate the shade from that tree trust me.

Soo excited for Rad and Summer. What an awesome home to start a family and out their touch to. “I married into the right family” hits hard!!

Rad and Summer where are you planning on living during the remodel? Living in a construction zone is a miserable experience. But also paying rent at 2 places puts a lot of strain on the budget. Good luck with the project but that house looks really decent as it is.

I hope in 22 years to see their kids doing videos and saying "this is what our grand-pa taught us"

Big money 💴 new house with total remodel! Spending that sweet RU-vid money!

I would love to be adopted into this family!!!! Y’all rock!

Don’t take down the tree 😢. Use it as a climbing 🧗‍♀️ wall/playground for Rad and future family…. Perhaps a bridge to a tree house project! Could be a one of a kind for Stud Pack.

Love the ride on or walk behind floor remover machine with awesome blade that peels tile, wood floors, etc….right up so easy… worth the money it costs to get into a site, since can remove all floors in 1-4 hrs instead of day or more done by hand etc…..

I’d keep one bathtub 🛀 for kids down the road. Keep any trees that are mature, not messy and not causing damage- just prune them well to clear low branches

Your daughter is so beautiful!!! My God those luscious braids. You actually very beautiful family all the way around. Not to be a trouble maker but your wife must be gorgeous…of course you are a handsome man in your own right…🙂 In any case, all joking aside, God has blessed y’all very much and you are such a good guy, you deserve that and more. Kudos to Studpack studiness! 🎉

Such an awesome family. The way you get to work together and do it so well is very admirable.

Awesome!! Congrats Rad and Summer!! Nice house. Can’t wait to see Summer and Rad putting the hard work. I’d break it into phases and you can fine tune as adjust as you learn more about your house and how you live in it: Phase 1 - kitchen / downstairs master and living updates Phase 2 - Deck Phase 3 - upstairs & attic / bridge Phase 4 - second floor above garage. That way you don’t drive yourselves crazy with a whole house that’s ripped apart. Ideas - think about the future and where your kids will be. Do you want to be running up and down the stairs with young kids in the middle of the night? I’d take a hard look at making a new master suite upstairs in the existing or new attic/garage spaces. Then let Rad’s dad have the downstairs master. Maybe put light updates in the downstairs master and spend the bucks on a nice upstairs master suite. That’s just me. The other thing is to maybe consider making another StudPack channel. I see a lot of RU-vidrs doing it. It might help bring in more ad revenue?

Congrats Brad and Summer! long time fan and this is awesome to see!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you guys do to the place. Looks like plenty of worthy content!

That's an ambitious remodel! Hope Jordan isn't stressing to hard about the new project, I can only imagine how much he wants to be done with his house.

Isn't it interesting how things have changed regarding the kitchen. In the 19th century the kitchen was fully isolated from the social space in the house. There was even a Butler's Pantry typically between those spaces to reinforce that kitchen staff should stay out of the "house". This was still somewhat true up to the 1960s as you could not see into most kitchens. Now the kitchens are often the social space of the house. Both my boys and my wife and I cook and we often interact and sometimes collaborate in the kitchen and the living and dining spaces only get use for formal occasions (like Christmas and Christmas Dinner).

You guys are such good people, and Mr. Paul is such a good teacher of how to do these projects. Looking forward to you guys hitting a million subscribers.

Keep the tree, it will reduce your summer energy costs plus shade is gold. I live in Arizona, wish we had shade trees in the desert that don't uproot during a storm.

The house looks really nice at the start.

How exciting! I can’t wait for more videos from you and now Summer is in the mix-awesome!

Congrats on the new house! Enjoy making it your own.

Kitchen looks fine for the most part.

If you want to upgrade the energy efficiency, you need to do a blower test just to get an idea where you are at. If the air leakage isn't too bad, you can look into services such as aeorobarrier to get air leakage under control.

Congratulations Read and Summer. May God bless your new home?

I can just imagine how good everything is going to look once it's done but please keep the carpet or replace with different carpet it is much more forgiving if any future kids are running around and bound to take a fall.

#1... !!! So excited to see all the projects you talked about in this video! Go Stud Pack! And Welcome to Summer!

Those three windows in the living room that will lead out onto the deck... Folding glass doors on the back AND side walls to really be able to open the space up for that indoor-outdoor living experience! Congrats Rad and Summer!!

keep the tile entry

Can't wait to see Rads house update. Like you said more realistic than the garage project. Will be nice to see you doing everyday DIY stuff again that most home owners like and want to see

NIce change up, this will be fun. Consider ADA changes if Rad's Dad is coing to live there, the upstairs bath with the no threshold shower is on the mark, but a larger doorway would be good, think walker access if not wheelchair. And so on. I see several years of work on this project!

I was built in 1996 as well and I definitely have problems. Way to go on the purchase!

Love this new project that y’all are about to begin.

That's a great looking house!

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!! I dont know when y’all will sleep but looking forward to Reno videos. Go StudPack, on to 1M subs.

Guys, don't stretch your dad too thin!!!! Make sure he gets some breaks once in awhile!!!!

Wish they would come finish my house. I blew my shoulder out and I’m stuck. Gonna be a while before I can do anything. These guys do great work.

How exciting! Congratulations Rad & Summer! Looking forward to all the content!

Summer is high maintenance, that house is gorgeous as is.

I have a similar but slightly larger breakfast nook type area (my homes from 2002) and yea same I didnt put a table there when I moved in years ago but I LOVE the circlular window feel that area gives. Its actually where my dogs food bowls currently are its got like a mat and holder to look nice too.

congrats Rad and Summer, I love the way they seem to match each others energy and personality. They are a lucky couple , and lucky to have Paul. Cant wait to see what you all do with this project.

Be great to see how you go about taking an existing house and create the new arch design to tie into existing house

You guys were talking about a boat when you were in the garage. How about adding a second garage door on the side of the garage away from the house (lousy description I know). That way you could keep the boat in the back yard by backing it THROUGH the garage. Something I would seriously consider, adding soffit to roof peak vents then insulating under the roof deck, that would make the attic area more of a conditioned space instead of a heat trap.

Fun project! I just saw $$ for everything you talked about. Maybe not quite a quarter million, but close.

Awesome… Can’t wait to see the renovation videos!

What a beautiful family guys keep up the good work

I'm so happy for Brad and Summer. This is great to include this home into the video content on your channel. I'm in my 70s and my wife and I live in a two-story home with all bath and bed upstairs. When I heard you mention elevator, got excited. I can barely climb stairs. I sure would like to hear more about the elevator.

Make a custom azek mounting block for a video doorbell when you update the trim inside. Run cat6 to the garage for a wireless access point/hardwired mesh WiFi system

That's a really cool project. I am as excited as you guys

Congrats on the new house guys! I want to give a word of advice (I know, hard to believe folks in the comments would do that). When I heard Summer say she wanted to move the microwave up a little I winced a bit. I redid our kitchen a few years back and we put in a low profile over stove microwave. Loved it…until the first time my 5ft tall wife used it. Her reaching up and in to that microwave is a recipe for disaster. Not to mention me having to fix the turntable every other day for where she’s tried to slide a dish in there and knocked it off the rollers. So, I would say consider a drawer type unit. I know they’re pricey, but in the long run I know you’ll appreciate it. And it looks pretty apparent the Summer is taller than 5ft and might think it’s okay…but I’m 5’10” and I wish I had the drawer style too. Anyway, hope that’s helpful, and best of luck with the reno!

This is great, could you guys do costs (obviously just materials since you guys will be doing the work) as you work on Rad & Summer's house? Because that will give us an idea of a ballpark of how much we need to save to do each of the projects in a remodel situation.

Congratulations on your first home. While I don’t like the look of a low microwave it provides more safety than the higher ones. The one in my kitchen is installed to code is to high so it’s used a bread cabinet and use a counter one for regular use. My personal taste is to keep the trim it adds some classic style and elegance, yeah I get I’m older.

Keeping it in the family 😁

Awesome video. I look forward to watch the next videos.

Great to get to know Rad (& Summer) a bit more than just the "stud" in the stud pack videos.

Family. People who love each other. Work together. Pull for each other. Have each other’s back. What I wouldn’t give to have this kind of life.

This will be great. Excited to see this

That's a very nice, huge house for a young couple. Surprised they want to make so many big (expensive) changes versus building a nest egg.

Summer looks just like her mom. Beautiful ❤

Summer and Rad are truly the nicest people.. spent time with them at my grand daughter’s wedding!!!!
