The last two years I've poured my blood sweat and tears into remodeling this whole home almost entirely myself. This is the first project I've taken on this size and am a self-taught carpenter with only a couple years experience. I learn quickly, am a perfectionist, and loved flexing my creative ideas in this space. I hope you've loved following along! All these rooms are broken out in more detailed videos on my channel, but I will link some below:

“i have a real passion for home design and would spend hours at night laying in bed thinking of color combinations, build plans, and design ideas.” You just described the last 2 years of my life. i just subscribed.

I feel your pain, I bought a 3000 sq ft house on 3/4 acre for $15k, it had holes in the roof, water poured in, the smell and mold! My buddies helped me rebuild it, had to replace all the floors with 3/4 " plywood, I live here now and love it, all paid off!

Oh my! That sounds like quite an adventure

I’m so interested in doing this. How did you find the home for so cheap? Is there a website? I would really love to own 2 homes and put my personal stamp on one.

@normanpaterson 4 месяца назад

@@J-W.- Found it on craigslist. It's in a town where the main industry left for Mexico so avg income is low. We got a new mayor who balanced the books for the first time in 30 yrs, brought in natural gas, fixed the water and sewer, got new tractors and trucks. Hispanics have been moving in here in droves and fixing up the properties, it's great!

@sharonpaul912 4 месяца назад

Where the heck did you find that big of a house for that cheap?!

@normanpaterson 4 месяца назад

Hi . @sharonpaul912 , I found it on craigslist, located in an African American community 1 hr south of Chicago. There are many small towns in the USA where the industry that formed them have left, leaving the town impoverished. Land prices have since skyrocketed from when I purchased the place.

As a retired electrician I am amazed at what you took on and accomplished , and you sure should be proud of yourself. "Courage over confidence" is a great motto and I am going to pinch it. Greatest respect from Australia.

Wow, I can't believe what I just watched! This shows us the highs and lows of renovating their entire home without any professional help. It's a rollercoaster journey filled with learning experiences and impressive transformations.

@livinginnortheastsanantonio 4 месяца назад

That was a meticulous remodel! I love the faux beams you added to the living room. So many DIY projects come up way short of this.

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog 4 месяца назад

Thank you! The beams were absolutely my favorite part as well, transformed the whole room!

Sra. Melissa: Tiene toda la razón de estar orgullosa de lo que hizo con esa casa!! He seguido todos sus videos desde que inició la remodelación y puedo decir en cada paso hizo gala de sus conocimientos constructivos y su exquisito sentido de la estética. Bravo!!! Bendiciones para usted y su familia.

Amazing home reno! It was incredible to see how much work went into every aspect of the renovation, from tearing down walls to installing new fixtures. Kudos!

Looks beautiful! And I loved the encouragement from your comments. I’m an older lady & I’m on a journey to learn how to build things so I found that encouraging. 😊

@delliott777 4 месяца назад

So proud of you. I’ve learned so much from you. Your inspiration is immeasurable. “Courage over confidence”, you should copyright protect that motto! Seriously. I can see how courage over confidence can help get a person unstuck. A lack of confidence, (stemming from a lack of knowledge/experience) can be paralyzing. Seizing courage and Doing in spite of apprehension, opens one up to learn, succeed, and gain confidence. Then repeat. Your kids and husband are so blessed to have you. This concept is more than DIY, it’s life skills.

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog 4 месяца назад

Exactly! You phrased it so well. I have hats with this motto I did as merch in January. Let me know if you’d like to have one for yourself!

I stumbled upon reno video and was amazed by what I saw. Your dedication to renovating their entire home by themselves over two years is truly inspiring. From transforming the kitchen to revamping the bathrooms, it's incredible to witness the before-and-after transformations and pick up some DIY tips along the way.

This is so inspiring, and you should be SO proud! "When I don't know how to do something I research and teach myself". YES GIRL! You have given me the confidence to pursue more home projects. My husband and I will be buying a house soon, and I was worried about my abilities to tackle home DIIY renovations, but you have showed me how possible it is with the right work ethic and courage. You're amazing, and the house turned out BEAUTIFULLY!

@Robert8455 4 месяца назад

You are one amazing and talented young lady and very strong and determined. Your ability to go though so many challenges and over come them really paid off very well. Your own artwork is really a very nice extra touch. I am sure the previous owners would be shocked (in a good way) if they saw what you did.

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog 4 месяца назад

The previous owners have both passed, but two of their children saw the transformation and cried with joy. 🥲 it was shocking to them for sure!

I would love to walk your project, just to see your attention to detail on your painting alone. I can imagine that it's nearly perfect. I always strive for perfection in construction, but we are the only ones that can actually show others that Oops 😊

I really love what you did and youtube for being such a great source of knowledge and inspiration...you want to learn how to do something? There's always someone who teaches it on youtube! I just started to do things around the house instead of asking people to come do it, not do it that well and asking huge amounts for it...but never thought I could reach your level...maybe one day I can :) thank you for sharing!
