hey guys and welcome back to the homestead yesterday I came home from
work to find the huts have been taken out progress very much progress so
unfortunately we found a soft spot underneath the hut which means that
we're gonna have to do more demo and replace part of the floor yep
so day 2 part 2 dining room demolition we're gonna try not destroy so much of
our house and floor but we'll see how it goes
it's like walking with magnetic food it's just something that takes deadly
taking my leg up
welcome to extreme walk workout
so we resent this tool in the mail from a viewer Melissa and this is the red
devil professional zipper weighs six and one although I've only yet to find like
three or four tools but thank you very much for this I've already been using
this hair at miss Fleur this is a really good tool very much appreciated all the
towels are off the first sheet of flooring and we're gonna really take the
screws out and pull this up when we moved into this house the floors were
bad and we were on a time crunch to get into the house so we laid a half inch
sheet of OSB overtop the whole kitchen and dining room it has a I guess a new
floor or kind of a patch to the situation so this is what the OSB is
this is why it's tear but we're gonna work away a little bit of time and yeah
somebody's got my tool she's ready rock and roll ready to go
trying to find the screws blend in really well me the wall okay
well guys we're at a stopping point for today Angela did really good with
getting all the old floor up and it's down to the original subfloor now is the
part where we've got to do some thinking we're toying with the idea of well
there's only two options one is to put it back like we had it which it has a
half-inch sheet of OSB over top of the old flooring which is not like rotten
really bad it's been patched here and there so there's some irregularities
like right here in the spot you saw that we uncovered some plywood that was a
previous patch job well when you go and try and put a floor over top of that
it's not gonna work out so we've got to decide if we're going to put the
half-inch plywood back over top or if we're going to tear it out and
completely start from the floor joists up which is a lot of work yeah a lot of
work and a lot of actually a lot of cost to you know the 3/4 inch OSB flooring
and everything's not cheap and then you have to put flooring over top of it yeah
obviously the right thing to do is to start from the floor joists and just to
it all new from there up but we've got some time constraints and money
considerations and things we've got to keep in mind as well so I don't know if
we're gonna do that either way I think we should sleep on it and we'll come
back tomorrow with a decision it's the next day
and I slept on it and I'm gonna tear this floor out I'm gonna do it right
what I'm going to do though is I'm only gonna go ahead and tear out and destroy
one section at a time so that we try to just not completely destroy our house
yes this job
there's a saying that when they built mobile homes they were paid by the
Staple I think those right
I was getting ready to take the wood outside and kind of be careful around
the homestead you never know who's on the other side of the door it looks like
Isaac and Captain America are playing on the door
this blades really dull it's kind of like burnout I think we're going to save
a lot of time if we just go to Lowe's go to get our floor and get a new blade oh
yeah it's gonna take a lot of time cuz yeah he's got some teeth chipped off so
now that you're all dressed to work what I'll go to work just got back from the
store with a new oscillating tool blade one that cuts wood and metal so let's
see if this that's better on cutting the trim for the floor all around the room
no it's solid it's even that it's not rotten it's old water damage so kind of
deteriorated it no I'm just gonna fill it out with
walking I would only try and undercut it if I thought the original floor was
rotting and the wall
that was so much easier to do some of my things your electron is having it out
it's just tight touch
you don't have a current okay I don't have a current
it's so much easier with the right tool
all right we're done with all of the demolition part of the work now to clean
up and that's Angela's gonna grab the shop back she's gonna suck up all the
junk and clean up the area a little bit and I'm gonna go ahead and start cut
some two by fours for blocking to put on the joists so that the new floor has
something to rest on all around the edges and attach to that's a little tip
and trick on saving yourself from trying to juggle the board the drill the screws
yourself and get everything lined up on the rim joist there you go
that one's free
Hey look I'm planking totally different way Oh round the 2x6 must be Nelson here
so what this 2x6 is here for is because this floor I'm pretty sure I've sunken
down so this last blocking I'm getting ready to attach I'm gonna use this as a
straight edge to give me my height of the other floor studs and I'll bring
this up to match that way I should be as close as I can be for the new floor to
go on top and be level and supported all
right with all the blocking done we are finally able to move on to insulating we
got a roll of insulation we want to go ahead and slate the floor and then we
can throw the OSB down it's all ready to cut ready to rock and roll and we are
close to calling it quits for the evening it's already 6 o'clock and we've
been working on this thing for a good six hours at least for insulation we're
using just your standard hour 13 roll of backed fiberglass insulation we picked
it up from Lowe's and we're gonna cut our bats to rough length stick it in
there and staple it down we're doing with insulation what's the last thing we
got to do put down the OSB and screw it down
yay
don't talk I'm exhausted there's no part of this is fun we're not
doing this because it's fun at all it is it is hard work and it is trying
I will admit I kind of kind of got a little frustrated there towards the end
maybe and Angela smacked upside the head and don't meet you like please and
there's a footage of that so I can't prove it right anyway so it's a lot of
work but it is so nice to have a truly solid floor that's insulated and we know
at least this 4 foot by 8 foot section is done right and not multiple layers
right right floors upon floors upon floors anything
else you want to say or add I'm not looking forward to doing the Ridgid rest
of the kitchen but it has to be done yeah we've already started something we
gotta finish it I guess we appreciate you guys watching we'll see you next
time bye
you
