Well I thought I'd start a thread just to show some progress we've made on the house since purchase in mid Sept. We're making some pretty big changes to the downstairs (walls removed, etc) I've got a fridge and range waiting in the garage for our new kitchen (Yay Kijiji) and we're slowly making other purchases along the way. Luckily for us the gfs dad does kitchen design for a living and helped us design exactly what we wanted. We got a smoking deal on the kitchen as well so that really helped (The prices of kitchens are out of this fucking world, Vas I'm sure you know this, lol) I also gotta thank Gene for the info on the flooring, that saved me a shitload of time and we also got exactly what we wanted.
Here are a few before pics of when we first moved in. House is 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 3 car, about 2650sqft not including the finished basement. Sits on a corner lot in a nice mature neighbourhood. It also hasn't been touched since '92 when the original owners took possession.
Entrance.
Sunken livingroom looking towards the back of the house.
The green wall is the backside of the kitchen.
Corner of the kitchen looking towards the front of the house (Love the borders, lol)
From the kitchen looking into the familyroom. (I need a wood burning insert for that fireplace)
GF couldn't take the borders for more then a few days.
First thing to come down was the wall that separates the kitchen and family room. Once this wall is out I'll be putting in a 18ft LVL laminated beam. that's really going to open up the space quite a bit. I also need to re-route the HVAC but that's not a huge deal.
Bulkheads are ugly so I tore those out as well.
Then the wall inbetween the sunken livingroom and soon to be diningroom came out as well.
Once that wall was out and I ripped a bit of the carpet up to expose the subfloor, I raised the sunken livingroom.
Let's not forget about all the popcorn ceilings we scraped *Pro tip*, wet it down beforehand (Or else you'll have dust everywhere) with a pesticide sprayer. Way easier then using a normal spray bottle. We also left the carpets in place and rolled all that nasty shit up and dropped it right in the bin that's sitting in the driveway
Then it was time to get the other bulkhead out, but before that I had to move the fridge and all the uppers.
Other bulkhead is out and the cabinets re-installed.
No walls anywhere!
Flooring that we picked, 7 1/4in Mercier. I can't wait to put this stuff down.
And now the scorn of my fucking existence for the next few days.. Tiles and about an inch of masonary concrete
That's about it for now. Lots of tile to still remove and I also need to pull out the sink/lowers in order to rip the tile up from under there. Not a huge deal though I'll just re-install everything like I did for the upper cabinets.

nice man, toonnsss of potential in that place, i'm sure you'll do it up nice! make sure your hvac/filter all in good shape too (not sure how old it is?) love the frontage too.
Yup, after this is all done the vents will be cleaned and if I've got some $$ left in the budget a HRV. Fucking dust gets everywhere, there's no stopping it

I'll plead the 5th on the permit for the structural changes, lol. Although I'm not doing any of this without the recommendation/help of my buddy who's been a contractor for over 25 years. Whatever he says goes when it comes to stuff like this. I know he mentioned that with the beam we are using we could span around 20ft (Which we aren't even close to, I think our span is about 14ft).. We'll also be adding a support beam in the basement so the load is transferred to the foundation properly.

Wow, that is a lot of work done. Good job!. I am hoping I can replace the cabinet doors in my new place and not have to go full blown redo for it.
Look into painting them first. The doors are the most expensive part of the cabinets, lol..

What's the purpose of sunken rooms/layout?
I have a sunken powder room: down 2 steps, to the left is the powder room, to the right is the basement door. Fucks up the headspace in the basement ...
Holy fucking shit that's alot of work ... I wish I paid for the fucking flat ceiling upgrade, now I have popcorn ceiling

I dunno, apparently it was a fad back in the day. We hate it. If you're careful with the popcorn removal you won't even need a skim coat after wards.. You can use drop clothes (Big plastic ones from Lowes/HD) and tape it against the walls to catch all the popcorn when you scrape it off. After it's done, roll up the drop clothes and toss it in the garage. No mess! (Or very little)

It helps cover poor tape joints or uneven ceilings, thats why it was done.
It's also a lot less time consuming then taping/sanding.. Our ceilings look really good underneath to be honest. They save so much time by spraying that shit.

Sunken rooms are to make the room taller so you'll have a more "grand" living room
Your sunken powder room is probably because it is under a staircase and there's no room on the main floor for a powder room

wow, a lot of work Bill! although what did you do to raise the floor?
I basically just made another floor over top instead of trying to raise the existing one (Which would have been almost impossible). So 2x6 joists, 16in centers and 5/8 tongue and grove plywood over top, 6x2 headers against the far wall and along each side. Had to shim quite a bit of it because the floor sloped down and inwards towards the front of the house. I also used LePage PL400 anywhere wood touched each other (joists to plywood, or joists to shims, etc) to stop any squeaking from happening in the future.
Got all the tile ripped up everywhere but the kitchen. Tonight I'll have to pull the lower cabinets, and figure out what I'm going to do with the sink and hopefully get the rest of the tile removed.
As for the popcorn ceiling it really just looks like shit to be honest

Yeah renos always break time constraints, I'd love to have all the hardwood done on the lower level in the next week or so. Problem is everything requires something else. Cambria guys can't come in until the kitchen is done, so add another 6 weeks for countertops once the kitchen is installed, etc etc. Then I have all these little side projects (Refacing the fireplace, hanging the TV, running IR repeaters and shit, maybe doing some builtins on each side, etc), the powder room needs to be re-done so I need to re-tile that, then I gotta build a little riser for the washer/dryer because they're too low, then I gotta tile that fucking room as well, lol. Fucking shit never ends

Thanks guys! Pulled the kitchen lowers out today, disconnected the plumbing/drain etc. Got all the tile out from under that and the rest of the breakfast area, then re-installed everything. The bin is almost full, can't believe there's that much shit in it. Also pulled down the drywall in the breakfast area/kitchen so it will be easier for me to re-route HVAC and also run new electrical for the pot lights, etc..
Also just had our latex mattress delivered about 20mins ago, going to crack a few cold ones and have a great sleep tonight.

Wow, just how much are you guys putting into this house? Choco Monies?
Pft, not even close to Wayne monies I've got a 50k reno budget (give or take).. Where we really saved was the kitchen, if her dad wasn't in the business the kitchen we're installing would be 50-60k all by itself. So I can understand when people can easily drop 100k into a reno, especially if they're hiring everything out (Which we aren't, we're doing most of this ourselves)

Man, I've been there done that and what a ride. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Thanks man, we're looking forward to it as well. Electrician buddy comes in Monday to wire up the kitchen so I've got a little bit of work to do before that (Take some additional drywall down, etc). LVL should be in early next week as well. The pain in the ass right now is just timing everything correctly. New floor needs to go down but I'm not going to drill holes for the plumbing for the old kitchen cause it's no where near where the new sink is going. And I can't not have a god damn kitchen so it's just back and forth with stupid decisions. I wish I could just rip the current kitchen out for good, install the floor, get my plumbing in place (somewhat) then leave it all bare until the new kitchen comes on the 16th.
Unless we use the sink in the laundry tub

I can't believe you're actually living in the house through all of this, especially the Xmas tree. Isn't it dusty as hell?
Will be well worth the wait and hassle once it's all done.

Not much of a choice, gotta live somewhere The Xmas tree is fine, taking down that wall wasn't really messy. Removing the tile was the worst of it.

i was going to say props to you for having two kids and living in the middle of all this.
3 kids
Moving over the ducting has been pretty easy so far, hopefully will wrap that up today.

Tear down the wall? Pfft, no problem. Move the ducting? No, problem. Tear the whole thing down and still live there with 3 kids? No problem. I have enough problem living with 2 kids and not doing any renos. Lol.
The good thing is you don't have to worry about taking your shoes off when you come into the house!
Once I start the flooring and rip out the old kitchen for good, the kids are going to stay at their grandmas for a few days. That will let me shut everything off (gas, water, etc) and not have to worry.

Coming together...
Do you have a dumpster out front or just taking loads to the dump when needed?
Any reason you went screws in the 3x8 header vs screws? Usually they frown upon screws because they don't have the same shear as screws aka break vs bend
Most of the demo went into the bin we rented, that's been gone for about two weeks. I load up a trailer with the rest and make a run to the dump. Screws were used because I didn't have nails I asked my buddy beforehand, he said not to worry about it and just screw the shit out of it, lol.
Drywall has been taped and mudded, 1st skim coat has gone on in the hallway/entrance. Familyroom will be skimmed tomorrow along with the kitchen. Getting close to laying the floor, can't fucking wait for that to happen!

In my case that would mean the kitchen sink would be at my bed side
Or you know those 1 bedroom condos where you walk in and you are immediately inside the kitchen/living room/bedroom/hallway/closet and depending on which way your body is facing, potentially in the washroom as well.

No felt/rosin paper under floor? Should have at least ran a belt sander over the joints on the floor where the plywood meets.
Looking really nice.
Floor is also glued being that it's so wide, no need for felt or rosin paper. I also rented a screw gun from HD and put 1500 screws into the floor (They were originally nailed). Broke out the sander in a few places where there were some high spots that didn't require leveling compound.

Looking good!!
I am in the middle of a kitchen reno, I probably would have been done by now but they cant get one cabinet right!! Round 3! I did the kitchen myself. It's not hard just time consuming and a little stressful getting everything level
What counter tops did you go with? We are going with granite, but unsure if 3CM is worth the extra cost

Yeah, it's like a puzzle for adults, the bases took maybe an hour? Nothing really complicated, I leveled all the ones against the wall myself with shims. It really is simple. The biggest pain in the ass was bringing them into the house, some of those triple pot drawer ones are heavy!
Countertops are Cambria. I've heard their templating technique is pretty cool, can't wait to see them in action tomorrow. My only concern is going to be the seam in the island (Island is 13ft long). I hope they put it right in the middle of the sink so it kinda disappears.
The real battle is going to be bringing the fridge and the range in from the oven. The fridge is something like 550lbs

When the cabinets where delivered they brought them right inside I am not ripping out the floor, and it was tiled up to, but not under the original counters So that added to the fun. The top ones went much faster for me than the bottoms
Ahh Cambria, sorry you said that and I missed it. Cool

15gauge 2in staples go through leveling compound just fine, although it shouldn't be more then 1/4in or they'll deflect. That's why I laid 1/8in MDF over the subfloor in the super low spots before I put down the leveling compound. I haven't had any come back up through the floor, so I think it's working
Cambria showed up this morning, took the countertop template. I'm glad I got to pick where I wanted the seam (Which is going right in the middle of the sink cutout). Pretty cool setup, they didn't take long, all done with this pivoting laser camera. Should have the countertops in about 10 business days.
Once the countertops are in then the uppers will be installed (I've got two big glass uppers that are actually on the countertop. Going to borrow my buddies AirSled to get the stove and fridge in place in the next day or two. Finish up the flooring, then start on the crown/trim.

not about going through the leveling compound, I have no doubt they can penetrate. The issue lies when the compound breaks, and now you have loose chunks of compound under the floor so when you walk over it you will hear crunching sounds.

It's not going to break, it's designed to be used under wood floors for this exact reason. It stays flexible.

If I was using straight concrete I might be worried.

Both my contractor buddy and my friend who does hardwood have used it before in a nail down install without issue. I think the problem arises when you've got way too thick of a slab. They're the pros I'm not, so I listen to what they say

Just finished with tying in the Pex to the old copper downstairs and running it back up under the sink. Going to run the drain through the ceiling to the exterior wall then horizontally into the original drain/vent. Not a very big run so it should be fairly simple. Can't wait to get some lighting done, place is way too dark.

LOL!! Yeah, I'm trying to stick with a single P trap. We'll see what happens.
hey bill question for you. when you run pex from a old copper line can you just cut the copper line and then use one of those shark bite push fittings and call it a day? or would those leak over time? it almost seems too easy.
Jay, I wouldn't use a Sharkbite up inside the ceiling (Or anywhere you can't get to it).. Great for something quick and dirty but I wouldn't bury it.. I'm just using 90 degree sweat fittings like below, then Pex the rest of the way.

Don't do that. They work until they don't and then you will regret why you were born. Good job bill, good luck with that short run doe, everything always goes as expected looking good tho
I agree. They make it look so easy but don't tell you that they most likely will fail one day lol. I've seen people using them for all their fittings. Mind you they weren't too handy to begin with.

I can't imagine burying those things then having to go back and actually do it the right way after they've pissed unknown amounts of water into your walls/ceilings, lol.

That's where we disagree. I used to think pex was great until we had friends who had a flood when a fitting broke. Also a quick search online shows many the same and also how delicate pex fittings can be under certain water qualities.
There's also an unsettling feeling when California has banned pex in homes.
Copper is proven time and time again. Sure it's more expensive and takes much longer to install and you definitely need some skill to solder but it's something I rather do and sleep better at night.

Pex can be a disaster but it all comes down to the quality of fitting and tools used. It's very easy not to clamp a fitting right and for it to fail over time.
When I said "better" I meant overall, I agree copper is nicer and a better plumbing material for longevity, but I am factoring in health risks.
From my understanding copper leads to health issues as it releases some harmful elements over time, which is why some places don't even allow it for new builds and only pex can be used.
Also didn't know about CA banning it.

White is timeless, if/when we sell we didn't want to limit buyers because we went with some fucked up kitchen colour.

Thanks guys, it's nice to see it slowly coming together. If anyone has a line on an antler chandelier (Don't ask) let me know! lol! I'm also looking for some grey tufted sofas for the sitting room in the front.

Union Lighting, that's where I bought some of my stuff. Meh prices, but they will for sure have what you are looking for. If you know an interior designer you can get their trade price.
I might be able to hook that up through my wife's cousin, let me know if you find anything.

We've seen the Cabelas one, it's not to bad. I missed out on an authentic one a few weeks ago on Kijiji. I'm trying to maybe sway her to a driftwood based chandelier instead, real deer antler stuff isn't cheap.

Yeah the fridge is pretty sweet, it will look a lot better once the panel and the pantry are installed (won't seem so giant)

Got all the uppers and the pantry installed yesterday. Now just riser + crown and the baseboard plus some other odds and ends. Still gotta pick a backsplash.

Once I clear out the living room/family room I'll take more pics, plus we haven't even painted yet or done the baseboards (House is far from being done) I've still got shitloads of hardwood stacked up everywhere, lol. I am going to finish up the slate in the entrance way today as well, then grout it tomorrow. Neverending projects.

Love it, if I had a big house I'd go with an identical kitchen colour/style wise.
How come the island doesn't offer any seating?
Only thing I don't really like is the choice in hardware.

that's a massive space, like half my house would fit in your kitchen I think.

No pot filler by the range? Come on man, with a kitchen like that you can't afford NOT to have that

We were just talking about a pot filler this morning I need to get the line run before the back splash goes on. I definitely want one. Problem is most I find aren't long enough ( I want to side mount it, not center mount) so it's gotta reach the far end of the range.

Yeah, it's pretty plain now. No lighting, no crown, no baseboard, the decorative posts for the left side of the island aren't in yet, etc. That's the stuff that will really make it look good.

Put a long day in with a buddy and we have almost got the kitchen done. All the riser + crown went up, light valence installed, got the toe kicks and baseboards installed. All the pot lights, etc. Ran all the wiring for the undercab lighting as well. Those should be in today, then I can drill the cabinets and get some lighting in there as well. Need to get some T45 edison bulbs for the pendant lights as well. Gotta go pick up the hood insert and get that done to.

Only the glass cabinets will have puck lighting inside, the rest is just undercab/counter lighting.

For uppers if you go with glass doors/shelves you are looking at about 100-200/more per cabinet.
Well worth it.

my house is a disaster.
started today. by the time i left for work they got the cabinets out, appliances moved and hooked back up in the living room lol, place taped off etc. old tile out, and probably some other stuff done.
i'm going balls out one time. new cabinets, tile, backsplash (copper? lol) moving the sink and dishwasher against the wall with more cabinets so opening it out, hot water line to the garage, granite counter tops, new fridge, microwave and range (dishwasher still SS and never used, stove is SS and replaced when i bought the house looks new enough) sink and faucet, paint, new back sliding door, under cabinet lighting. FML

Good luck tits, kitchen renos are the most painful. Believe me when i say, if there is one area of the house we all take for granted it's the kitchen, at least with a toilet i can shit in a bucket.

I've got something like 18 of these in soft white if you're interested. You can wire up 5 or 6 to a single transformer that can be be hard wired, etc. I've got the transformers as well. I went with 4200k ones myself (Had to custom order them)

You can get an even beam with the puck lights, just depends on the bulb angle. 120 degrees makes it pretty uniform.

Here is the kitchen from our Brampton house, it's no Bill, but we where selling and kept it under 20k. The kitchen was 24x10 I think? It was huge, I miss it lol. I did everything on my own, but had dad come and help do the top cabinets. It was a lot of work. We did not change the appliances or the floor, or lights or remove any walls lol. I think total cost for everything came in at $18,XXX
I had Bill dreams but my wife squashed all the cool ideas, rightfully so. We just needed something fresh and clean for the sale.

I like the toe kick lights, although they're a little ricey for me. Those puck lights for the under cabs are the completely wrong ones, they look like fucking spot lights, lol! This is why you want a wide beam angle.

You can basically put anything behind a light valence.. LED light strip, puck lights, whatever. It hides everything.

oh no the hardwood you see there is the first row for the living room. he said that he's going to make a transition piece to the tile so there's no bump there, should come out clean but let's see.
you know what's cray tho, later on in the year we are planning to replace all the hardwood in the living room all the way to the front door, maybe to darker haven't decided. get rid of popcorn celing and put pot lights and paint. continue that hardwood for the stairs, new railing, and continue all that hardwood into the master, hallway and two rooms. paint the top floor, and update both upstairs washrooms (just new tile, mirrors, paint, vanity, tub and shitter). the powder room i'll update myself with a new vanity, mirror paint and shitter and then i've renovated this entire fucking house in 5 years. oh getting the roof done too this year, windows are new enough they can wait.

Previous owners had about 50% of the windows replaced before we bought, I need to do the rest as well as the patio door. Although that's not very hard, $500 or so and a few hours work. Windows on the other hands are a pain in the ass, but there's no way I'm paying a company to swap them, that's the biggest fucking racket out there. I've got a contractor buddy who can get them direct and again, as long as you're measuring properly, they aren't a huge deal to swap out.

seriously. only two guys so far, they also ran 4 extra outlets for the cabinet lighting and a few other wires for the upper lighting too. That's something that always scares me, guys who can say they do electrical but aren't electricians. I'd inspect their work before they seal it up.
It's like when people say they can throw up a deck in a weekend, i am ready to put people to sleep via rear naked choke.

Got to read the fine print Only 1 - 50 lb person on the deck at any time Never lean on any of the railings If there are stairs, use at your own discretion

me too. luckily i have a friend who's an electrician that lives 5 mins away on teston rd. he came by after they left, also had him come in and OK the electrical for the basement when that was being finished because i had them put in a breaker specifically for the fish tank, i had no idea what i was looking at lol.

Left to do:
stairs and railing - should be quick
stain all cedar
natural gas line for bbq
interlock around perimeter of the deck and small flower bed. Been rough without a bbq

Because of the VOC ban, oil stains have basically turned to shit. 2yr maintenance vs 5yr. I'm hopefully going to pick up some TWP 100.

That's the one! I'm thinking of either the cedartone or the honeytone. I don't wanna add too much colour to the cedar to be honest. Although the more colour that's in the stain, the better UV protection it has. If you're ordering let me know I need a 5 gallon bucket as well. I need to order the Gemini Restore-a-deck kit for cleaning to.

lol I had do a double take as to what that was on the curb beside you. I thought it was some roadkill and you just gingerly left it beside your work area

I think you'll be fine since it's cedar. If it's pressure treated that most people say that you need to let the moisture out of it for a year.
Also, if you want it to look like natural cedar, make sure you don't get too dark of a stain. That's why I want the cedartone or the honeytone. I don't want my shit looking super red.
Let me know if you plan on ordering!

Nice score. How much did that set you back?
about $600
we have a sprinkler system at our place, front and back (previous owner install), pretty sweet setup with drippers and all. used it on and off the first couple of yrs but uses to much water so didn't bother.
i'm wondering how much i should be watering. i split it up into two zones, one for the side and one for the front yard since there's not enough pressure to have them all on at the same time. so I basically run zone 1 for 20 mins at 4am, then run zone 2 for 20mins at 4:25am. can't wait to see my water bill

You should be using rain collection barrels and a cheap 12v pump to water your shit.

beats watering daily like an idiot.
Try your best not to water daily, ideally you should only water at the very first sign of drought (the grass will have a greyish look to it)
Reason is you want the grass roots to grow down deep to get the water, which helps it when the temperature gets really hot.
Watering daily will have you getting mushrooms, red dust, moss & once the hot weather gets here the sun will dry up the water near the top of the soil, just wasting your money.
i'm wondering how much i should be watering. grab empty cans of tuna, or any can about 1" in height same diameter at the tuna can like cat food. Place said empty tuna cans in various spots on the lawn, turn on the sprinkler & time how long it takes your system to fill it 3/4" to 1". That's how long you have to water for & will also tell you if the coverage is even across the lawn for that zone.
Or buy about 8 of these from Home Depot https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.2-in-1-deluxe-rain-gauge.1001016921.html

I ordered 3 gallons and my co worker is bringing it back next week. She is like 5'1 so I felt bad ordering a 5 gal bucket lol. Obviously can't have her doing csi missions either.
I am going to that part of the states late this summer so I can grab stain for you then. Let me know if that works and I will let you know when I am going as we get closer.

i remember you telling me about that, that's my next move, i'm re-doing my fish tank water change setup so i'll have a 50 gallon drum available and i have a bunch of pumps, they should be more than enough pressure for the sprinklers. i'll have to re-route a downspout and it should fill up.

I built my own because there was nothing small and practical that i could find, Ikea does have a rolling kitchen island table thing you can have two stools work with it...that's your best bet.
