I Bought A New House With A Few Major Issues…

1. Visit http://simplisafe.com/bisforbuild to check out SimpliSafe’s award-winning home security that keeps your home safe around the clock! It’s really reliable, easy to use, and there are no contracts.

2. Check the easements before you make plans on expanding your driveway and the garage. The easements might be on your survey.

3. Congratulations Chris on your new house 😊👌

4. That was so Extra making your mans feel bad, the way he said he lives there made it worse, smh NOT COOL you can see how uncomfortable he was when talked about it.

5. Put 1/4” drywall over the plaster. Gutted rooms with plaster, huge mess.

6. I'm bad at geometry, but maybe try backing in? Wouldn't hurt to try.

7. Congrats on your new home.

8. Car guys don’t updates they do mods let’s mod this house 🤣🤣

9. i work at miracle method let me know if you want that clawfoot tub refinished

10. That house is terrible. Thats a total gut job.

11. Yeah the Portland market is insane, I'm not even looking right now because a shack is running 4-500k.

12. Buying a house can be a real pain in the butt but hey it's a good investment and if you like living it then that's when it's all worth it

13. Air Ride the Lambo Maybe??? 😲😎🤔

14. Check with the City. You must leave space between your neighbor and your garage. It's called side yard I think. The whole double car idea might not go very far

15. You could make a damn bed room out of the closet.

16. That bedroom is insane. I think the only thing I would want changed is I would want a jacuzzi style tub with the double head shower. Besides that it's awesome.

17. Been there done that, got the new roof 😂

18. Congrats Brother

19. So addicted to buying fixer uppers he bought one to live in.

20. He said “lawyers” and I thought “Eleanor”

21. You couldnt pay me to live in Portland.

22. Not quite the Fast & Furious house then!!!

23. Perhaps you could have the driveway redone completely and take the hard angles out of it? Or make some “temporary” steel ramps where it’s bad? But also you can try a more perpendicular angle at the bottom and try to get your front right tire to the driveway before the chin spoiler.

24. Honestly that house needs tons of work. Not sure I would have gone through with the purchase. Especially with that awful driveway and that being the main point of moving.

25. Those are not I beams they are what looks like 4 inch square tube wrong thing to use and probably cost more than I beams.

26. Permits are going to screw you plans that close to the property line I would bet

27. RIP your wallet. I bought my house 2 years ago south of seattle and had to give 35k over, with a similar feeling of financial pillaging. House projects are fun, in a different way, and equally as frustrating. Best advice I can give a car guy from my experience is plan your house projects more thoroughly than your car projects. You will always find surprises on the house, and those can make huge delays and issues for those living in it. I'm single, so it only affects me. But your partner also has to live in it, so having a contingency plan ahead of time can make the project surprises easier for them.

28. I like the garage idea. I would do the same.

29. And that's how we got b is for the "build _home edition"

30. Fridge is extra bonus, you cant hold a mortgage on a fridge

31. New Channel: D is for DIY – The House Build.

32. There are several good comments on lath and plaster. To add to those, lath and plaster works great over old 2x4s that may not be planar. To put drywall over uneven 2x4s you may need to sister in new 2x4s to get a surface that will accept drywall.

33. Kyle will never hear the end of his first welds.. lol

34. It took a LOT of work refinishing our floors ourselves but we saved an unbelievable amount of money vs. paying someone to do it. I definitely underestimated how much work it took though

35. Why is there an electrical outlet next to the toilet?? that is a 1st for me!!

36. Abort that place. Can’t imagine how much that place cost. Way more bang for your buck to move from that wacko area
