Even though it is absolutly YOUR channel, I love seeing how Phil becomes more and more involved in it. At first, we only saw him, then we started earing him, and now he's all on his own!

And I'm so amazed by the amount of work you to get done in a day.

@Schatzie301 2 years ago

I can’t believe how hard you guys work. Love watching all of your videos.

@leahholland6272 2 years ago

Hopefully the new heating system, insulation and all your work will help dry out the house.

@TheSchkings 2 years ago

That is really smart -- and a gift to your future selves and to future contractors/owners of the house -- to remove unused pipes, lines, and wiring! As Phil said, gives you room to add the new stuff and to keep you from getting old and new confused and cutting the wrong thing. Way to go!

The house we renovated had to be sprayed in the basement to kill mould. But vinegar alone doesn’t kill the spores. I started with bleach. I had to buy a lemon and thyme to get the spores . Today 17 years later, it was a waste of money, I can smell a musty basement on humid summer days. Dehumidifier is programmed to run during cheap hydro rates and drains into the sump pit. In winter the house is thankfully naturally dry. So the challenge is to keep the house dry. Wishing you much success.

You and Phil are so pragmatic regarding this house and its a joy to watch you work together and inspiring as I also must insulate the rim joists and rebuild my back door threshold before winter!

I‘m looking foreward to the spooky attic and cozy oktober room makeover🍂🍁

You need a whole house Dehumidifier in the basement. Get it from a basement dewatering company. It will be expensive but maybe they would sponsor you. I live on a river, high water table but no more humidity in my house. It was so bad before that my stainless refrigerator had rusted on the doors. You can't leave there with this mold problem. Everything will be ruined.

Cutting the insulation with a rather fancy bread knife makes it look like you're making a Cursed Basement Sandwich to me.

Gentle reminder. After treating items with vinegar you may want to try to neutralize the residue so that the acidity doesn’t deteriorate what you are trying to save. Every item is different in how it reacts to acid. You two are a great home restoration team!

Watching this again is such a great reminder of just how much work you’ve put into cleaning, fixing and clearing it out. It looks SO much bigger, brighter and cleaner now. How nice it is you have a video memory to compare the before and after ❤

I love that you don't bash the plumber for missing some spots. You guys are great and know, we are all human. The house is looking great and going to be so much warmer. I love that you had great shots of those beautiful lamps by the couch! Ty, still love those lamps. So perfect for the house.

@blk123 2 years ago

It’s so good that Phil can do so much of this work himself, saving lots of money.

@goodandgreen 2 years ago

I love your choice of non disposable sponsors!! You make the world better by being conscientious and we’re lucky to follow the adventure!

@LindaSueH5394 2 years ago

You two are so talented and determined. I truly enjoy your videos.

Get your basement tested for radon gas. If you have radon, seal the floor and look into getting a humidex venting system. It will vent the radon and, bonus, deal with the excess humidty problem too. I was told it uses less hydro than a dehumidifier.

@MsHedgehog 2 years ago

The mold on varnished surfaces but not so much on other wood surfaces migth indicate that the varnish used is shellac. That stuff molds easily apperantly and if it is left long enough the varnish becomes sticky unpleasant gunk that has to be removed. I bougth a nice kitchen table set that had been left in a too damp area, I could dent and scrape that gunk with my fingernails :( I hope that your vinegar dousing worked out for you!
I also have general awe for the sheer level of efficiency you and Phil Have in this video!

Putting a covered porch over that back door area should put a stop to most of the problems. I want an enclosed front porch to keep the north winds away from my front door. I also want a large porch in the back to make it safer (for me and other people to get in and out of the house in the winter). Plus, having shade in the hot summer would be a real plus. Those aluminum and glass storm doors get so hot in the summer that I (and others) have been burned by the metal handles.

@jlotoo850 2 years ago

I know you have a dehumidifier in the basement. But do you also have one running upstairs in the living quarters to keep the humidity down until you get back and can deal with the issues causing the mold? Would be awful to return from your trip to find mold everywhere.
