I Bought My Dream House 2 Years Ago...Now It's FALLING APART

@@jorgejiminez-rk1uu Didn't Ed buy his house years before Freddie & Tyler, considering he's the oldest one out of the 3?Initial pricewise I believe Hoovie got the best amount of land per $ but overall off of land, location and house Ed is probably the most well rounded

@@jorgejiminez-rk1uu Freddy's house is over 5 acres and cost around that much. The thing is prices haven't changed much, it's just that houses have gotten way bigger. A normal house now is 3k square foot, whereas in the 80s a normal house was 1k square foot. In China it's 400 square foot.

Duuuuuuude I’m so glad you and misha are homies like that. I’d die to have that signature!!

Agreed now I just wanna see him get in shape so we can see him for a long time to come

dare him to lean against that big tree by the retaining wall

YES!!!! -- Really refreshing and a new and very interesting side to the Tavarish Channels! Would definitely watch!!!

such a cool property! He has a lot of content ideas and I think he should just do them. I feel like he stresses over what he thinks we want to watch. I think he should just create what HE feels like.

Doesn't look like he's been doing much house building. I'll pass on pool and lawn maintenance 😂 😂

U guys cam't sell the trees? I would guess them to be worth something....

With the McLaren build...i hope RU-vid is cutting him BIG checks. Because the home alone is a expensive fever dream....this is the expense of buying a Florida home in basically a remote area. And not even including the possible build violations the last owner probably jerry rigged.

I was going to say that the company that replaced the middle outside unit should have sized the system. If they didn't and installed a system to small then it sounds like they scammed you.

@@jasonfabrick9308 First clue to what is wrong with his AC; the house was built and had HVAC installed that was "relevant" to the building codes of that time, so it isn't going to meet today's codes at all. Changing just part of the twenty or so tons- 240,000 btu of cooling equipment- won't much effect the rest. Salmon, you are on the right track but the price to do this means changing virtually the entire system, may involve serious duct changes and structural problems- try 30 k is not an unreasonable sum for such a task for a house this size. I'd say junk the entire system he has and much of it's duct work and go with the mini splits; there are five tone versions that will run four or five different inside evaporators, as well as in ceiling ton evap units to recuse the architectural effects, and there are many that are heat pumps to boot. And, at a guess, this might need a budget more like under $20 K. But that is a guess and I don't work in Florida, so lots of salt on that.. The windows and closures are definitely suspect in a house that old, but may need to be handled as more of the house is remodeled/ renovated.

or heat pump? And he has wayyy to may A/C units. No way his house needs that much.

Bro I can even tell you how many people buy way to heavy of a AC unit for there tiny house just because they don’t wanna check there insulation. Example I wanted my garage to be warmer and cooler so instead of a mini split I cut off the drywall checked the installation and it had “fallen out” and wasn’t insulating anymore, added the proper thickness and R rating insulation and the temp dropped 10 degrees in the summer and about 15-20 degrees warmer in the winter

He should change to a heat pump from daikin. That way he can use it for cold. And also heat up the water for showers. So with 1 amazing system you can solve all the problems. I use that in a hospital. Also you can aplly solar panels, your cost with eletricity will go down a lot

Says you. With zero money...

Idk how to take this comment but seems like hate I wonder do you have a house at all let alone one of this size age doesn't matter with a house you can always update or renovate it but like Freddie is saying it's expensive smh at your failed comment to attempt to make Freddie look bad but in reality you just showed how stuck in the internet you are and don't understand how life reality goes

Can’t tell if you’re hating or not. Bro I live in the UK I can’t even afford a 2 bedroom terraced house

@@dexietyy7922i don’t think it’s hate more like that house saw alot of crazy stuff in it’s life 😂😂

@@montanatru I didn’t read it as hate I read it as it’s cool but “vintage”

I'm tech also and the old duct in that house would be a nightmare. Do you think it may be all square duct? I couldn't see any taps off the plenum.

I'm just stunned how he has a US style 'thin plywood, then dark thin slats' roof but he's wondering why it's warm in there. 😆 Trying to put AC into an overglorified wooden shack like this is like putting a bigger bilge pump into a boat that has a dozen holes beneath the waterline.

Exactly buy a damn sprinkler for $5 and a hose, problem solved 😂😂

That swamp water is the best water you can provide for the garden. It has all the minerals and nutrients .. unlike tap water.. and it's free

THAT IS A VERY BAD IDEA ........ LOL do u know what diseases the water may have that could infest his lawn ??? he would need legal permission an wud probs have to pay legal fees overtime to be legally alloed to pump water to his lawns

@@zippyTT LOL like how a water from a lake can "infest" a grass :D Dude what are you smoking?

I agree with pumping out of the lake but two things first: This is central Florida and the water in that lake could be brackish, salty, enough to kill the lawn. It just needs to be tested. Secondly, this is central Florida where Home Owners Associations make up all kinds of ridiculous rules about what you can and can't do with your own property and the community property - the lake. He doesn't say, he's in a HOA but upscale "communities" in Florida are famous for restrictive HOAs.

I live in Florida If you were to ignore the grass and plant fruit trees with no maintenance, in 1 year in Florida your yard would be 2 foot or more deep grass and Mimosa trees with blighted and not fruit bearing fruit trees.

Fruit trees take alot to keep neat. Prob more than grass. Not to mention cleaning the fruits up when they start smelling from spoiling.

It's Florida. If you don't maintain the yard, this is what it looks like. At one point, I'm sure this was a beautiful property, and now it's all Freddie's playground of disarray.

So u would he hated in the neighborhood by everyone and always wonder why. It brings insane amounts of wild animals onto the property and surrounding, it smells like absolute garbage when u let them drop and not pick them up, and I’m sorry but if u look at the people who do those “natural lawns” there whole house is a mess and falling apart with tells me everything I need to kno 🤣

And it looks like trash.

ultimately the roots will mess up the foundations

@@almondnine Tree roots will take the path of the least resistance, often growing along the side of the foundation... They can't penetrate the concrete directly... The trees main root system got under the concrete wall and tipped it over because the tree was planted right beside it, but it didn't crack it because there was no weight on it... Freddie's said His house has a basement... Tree Roots would have to dig down and get underneath the basement wall 8 to 10 feet... The only reason they would do this is if there was a leak or a water source underneath the foundation... A foundation breaks or cracks when the roots loosen the soil up and make it shift. This shifting can create huge air pockets where the foundation is basically resting on nothing.... It is the weight of the house which cracks the foundation... Concrete has great compression strength at 2500 to 5000 psi but has a much lower tensile strength at around 300-700 psi... If large tree roots grew underneath the foundation the concrete could crack because it's being placed under tension from the weight of the house, not compression.... It is the same principle if you put a stepping stone down you drive a car over it as long as it is on something flat, hard and level it won't break, but if you place a stick underneath it of a similar thickness the stone will break right in half...

I watch Matt's show and for the most part, and at least for the past couple of years, it's a giant commercial. Seems like every episode is sponsored by whatever he's installing. He seems pretty on top of things but I have no faith that he'd give an unbiased opinion.

@@Ed-ui2qe Just like anything do your due diligence. Im speaking specifically about the building science though. Not just what products to use. Get an energy audit. Air seal and insulate to the best of your ability. Use exterior insulation and radiant barriers if possible. Get a competent HVAC person that will work with your engineer to prowl;y size a system for a properly air sealed and insulated house. Not easy to find. I worked with an engineer to do a total home energy retrofit on my last house and then we did one from the ground up on my current home. It was the smartest decision of my life solely based on comfort. It is of course great to have energy bills that are less than that of homes that are 1/3 the sq ft of my home in surrounding areas.

@@johndavis4564 what building science features you used on your new built?

Tree roots kill foundations, tree roots kill retaining walls. The tree has to go with a lot of others.

Yep, agree. Keep the tree.

@@user-tu1ee6dc5fdepends on the tree

@@amazulu3401 NO, tree must go!

Fire bad. Got it. 👊🏼

If it doesn't have a hard start on it, throw in a supco spp6. They're like $12, sometimes the old compressors have a really hard starts and the draw is tripping that breaker. A cheap hard start capacitor sometimes can salvage old AC's for a year or more. Also checking the capacitor, contactor and compressor with a multi-meter is a good thing to do before calling your local HVAC guy who will either charge you an arm and a leg or try to convince you to replace it.

It's because it has so many things. Pool area, huge house, outside grill area. Really makes you wonder why would someone want a house where even cutting and maintaining the grass needs to be done by a gardener because there's so much of it.

@@lehelzelenka207 me personally I would demolish the house and build a small modern house which I would make sure it is going to be easy to maintain, and just like that I am going to be having a lot of free land where I could add anything

@@adamtazgui6283that seems extreme. But I haven’t finished the video yet.

@@westmcgee9320 trust me it would be more cheaper on the long run to demolish it and build a new home and it is also going to be good for your tranquility of spirit knowing you do not live in a leaky, musty and humid dump that is falling apart

@@adamtazgui6283it would just be better to buy a smaller house.

Its a bunker antenna

feels like a million years ago right? We had a satellite dish that was 12 feet tall and would move when you wanted to change programming.

What do you mean "Back in the day?" Mine works as it should TODAY. Watching programming for free. Class dismissed.

It's not ham radio, that would be way bigger and closer to the house.

I had to take one out of my back yard. We cut two poles with a sawsall and pulled on the third remaining pole and it slowly bent down. It doesn't weight much at all 8)

Yep, just adding a cross brace on the upright would solve that wobble

There are plenty of floating docks in central FL as well.

Hurricane area, it would fly awoy or worse get thrown up and in to the house.

Needs to be concrete where he's at. Florida hurricane season will demolish a floating dock.

@@Dukes3677 I'm nearly 50 and a FL native, I've seen a lot of floating docks survive hurricane season. The only fail I saw was one that used Styrofoam because it got waterlogged.

"Blown in"? Mate, that roof needs to be ripped off and rebuilt entirely. It's one of those plywood&glued ones. For when the builder asks "And how would you like your roof sir?" and the previous owner went "I would like it to be a giant oven please". 😆

@@nvelsen1975 🤣🤣🤣🤣

what about weeds, more weeds than anywhere in Florida those guys that mow lawns in Florida hate weeding, so it's hugely expensive to maintain flower beds. GRASS is best in Florida, mow it weekly or more

@@ed_cetera Before planting, we put agrotextile, preferably one that decomposes biologically after a few years. Then we cover it with a layer of bark. No weeds grow through this layer. Of course, the bushes need to be trimmed or fertilized twice a year, but it is much less work than a lawn. I say this from experience, I have a very nice lawn, but that's because I work on it at least twice a week... such fun is not for everyone. I'm starting to limit mine by planting more and more large plants.

​​​​@@Babun448 I had a lawn business in Jacksonville for 15 years. The biggest gimmick in the landscape industry is weed mat. I don't care what you lay down , anything that ends up on top of it decomposes and turns to soil. Weeds then grow on top. Weeds grow in cracks on concrete. Grass is the cheapest landscape to take care of in Fl. Water , sun weed&feed when it's a temp below 85 degrees and decent soil and really important, change your mowing pattern EVERY time you cut so you do not develop ruts where the mower runs.

Astroturf . Fake grass. Zero maintenance

@@simoncullen7960 fake grass = fake man.

BBQs are cheap as- don't know where he got $5k from. I live in Australia and a nice built in one is like $2k max and that's Aussie dollars, so probs $1k USD

@@BigDavoNorriwong i just walked by something around that size today (standalone) in home depot and the price tag was a cool $3800

@@vinylcabasse That's crazy for just a built in. High end ones don't make sense when a mid range unit does the same job

just my thought

yea, they don't build stuff like that anymore. It probably just needs new burners. That stainless hood would probably polish up real nice

Sad

U know that the p1 is being built by other companies and he has to Wait Till its finished right ?

@@Hunter-NG Dude ... Please do some electrical wiring. Can take a long time. Now make a complete electrical wiring harness . Takes even longer. I know the P1 is right along on schedule.

I think he’s not rebuilding the P1 because they have to finish the electrical harness

he did say he was going to milk the content

Tavarish, Outdoor kitchens are simple... and way expensive if you let a company do it for you. Watch some youtube videos and go to town. You can even make videos on the work. You already have the plumbing for the sink which is usually the pricey stuff.

Rich people like to blow money and it all comes back as a tax right off. That's why these guys make the videos. Half the stuff they show is free.

@Tony wrong

Yeah exactly. How hard can it be to re-furb a gas grill. $4000 my arse.

Yup, $4k per tree is a ripp off in my experience. I had 1 acre of tall pine cleared for $5.5k

Holy fuck this. This. Just being a home owner is fighting off rip offs.

​@anonymouse7074 if they're oaks, they're going to be that price.

@@anonymouse7074 This is why aka Scammed GreeqSquad bought a kuboto by scamming their viewer into debt

You probably bought a house to your needs. This is clearly oversized for 1 guy. Even for a couple with a pair of kids. This seems like he's flexing, and I've been following him for years, but this is first world problems. The housing crisis is real in America and in Europe there is middle class people living in very hard conditions, seeing this video is a bit revolting. But.. we are all here for the entertainment.

Especially in humid conditions.

Thats one hell of a trade.

Damn 🔥

Trade of the century!

He is clearly not interested in gardening etc, which is why you pay someone to do that or at least advise you.

@@Cheepchipsable True, many people who own huge houses don't have time nor the expertise or interests to care for their lawn...so they hire a Pro....Providing Freddie with more Info on it, He can then determine what could be done to help His Lawn... Many times Lawn Pros - Gardners especially in my area overcharge for one specific thing you simply may not need because it costs more... Then if Your Yard does need something else they fuss about it and often refuse to do it.. I don't want to see Freddie or anyone else get ripped for just trying to fix their Yard, whether they live in a Mansion or not. Many times especially in million dollar plus Mansions like this Lawn maintenance is let go when the house is put on the market for days or even months, resulting in the lawn getting damaged... This damage should never be passed on to a new owner like Freddie....

My kids use my gaming/VR PC...

People complaining he's not building the P1, we're just lucky we get to experience this beautiful person, he doesn't owe us anything! You've got it right.

Where the hell do you live? Transylvania?

@@243wayne1 Europe, somewhere in Europe.

Pretty much, $$ pit big time but in a few yrs it'll be nice & someday it could payoff.

Or the contact, fan etc. I used to service them.

Yeah, but a replacement might be more reliable and efficient too.

Freddy needs to djent for us

I'm thinking that hooptie bomb shelter would make a perfect cistern to use for irrigation.

If you don't mind watching old tech, there's a PC build video out there of Tavarish and Greg Salazar (?).

"as old as it is" bro that has is not even old. That's like standard age in Europe because of all the building after the war.

@@kiddy1992 When I said "being as old as it is", it was a way of saying it may be made in 1960, it may need some work, but it still looks brand new... I was responding to Freddie when He said his house was falling apart and he said it was made in 1960... At 47, the house I was born, raised and grew up in... was built July 7th 1925...and the house I'm living in now was built March 11, 1950... During and even a few years after the war it was difficult to build houses because the materials were often hard to get or even scarce so they used what they had available... I don't doubt that there were a lot houses built in the 60's in Europe after the war... In My City-State houses built in the 60's usually need work or need to be upgraded, way more work than Freddie's house needs... Norwegian Michael...

Florida, much like where I live in Louisiana, it’ll be super uncomfortable inside within an hour or 2 when the AC goes out, especially this time of year. Mine had a capacitor issue last September, and it was 82 degrees in the house within a few hours, and my house is only a few years old.

Small difference between Minnesota and Florida in terms of climate..

Just sounds like he got bad advice on the size of the unit. Maybe some problems internally causing this, dirty filters etc.

Someone was living large AF in the 70s

it still is

You either don’t own your own home or you’re a millionaire and I don’t believe you’re a millionaire. Homes built before the 2000’s are way better than any homes built after. Newer houses are built the cheapest way possible with inferior products.

And you kept the slide 😅

Yes. Keep the slide 🛝

He did get a deal and I think it was pre-pandemic which means even if he did nothing he's doing well. It only takes a short time in FL for things to deteriorate rapidly. If you don't keep things you're going to spend a lot more to replace....

Cleaning the condenser fins(outside unit) there are products you can buy to spray on the fins that will dissolve the muck and then just hose it off with a garden hose. It's worth having a yearly maintenance contract for the units as well. As to sizing of the system..when I had mine installed, I went through 5 contractors before I found one that walked me through sizing the system for my home. All the other ones just wanted to install a system.

😂😂

Yea in my country lumberjack works whole month for that money. And it is not Africa or some 3rd world country, it is country in Europe.

The tree is near the middle of the property and will require very expensive equipment and professionals to operate that equipment safely and without damaging the house or other parts of the property. Equipment like a large crane for slowly dropping sections of the tree to ground after being cut from the main tree. You wouldn't want to just saw off 10 feet at a time and let it fall wherever. Probably a crew of 4-6, too.

@@cmiller6352 ahh ok, that makes a bit more sense but still expensive.

@@armandoubisse3506 No doubt, it’s an expensive service. But there are too many examples of homeowners trying to do their own tree work and ending up in the hospital or worse.

It can easily cost $4000. They have to rent a huge crane, about $2800 a day. We went through that 20 years ago for one tree and it was $3500.

money money money, and more money

It may not fall under code in the US. We do have hurricanes and other massive storms regularly lmao
