For anyone wanting to do a reno. PLEASE, don’t tear up cabinet, counters, or fixtures. You can sell them to others doing renovations for cheaper than brand new, you pay less to dump, and what you don’t sell you can use for another project like adding cabinets to the garage or shed, adding a new bathroom or mudroom sink, etc. People love to buy antique sinks and hardware but how many people are saving their own?

Just a friendly bit of criticism - this seemed unnecessarily wasteful. I get that not everything can be repurposed, but it looked like you guys purposefully destroyed as much as possible instead of dismantling it. I can imagine a great deal of the doors, cabinets, and other materials could have been repurposed pretty cleanly. I'm on a different continent with slightly different construction methods and materials, but so much here could have been sold or given away to people with a tighter wallet. Sure it would have taken a bit longer, but it would also in large part be safer for all of you and I can imagine a lot of people would have appreciated the charity. But otherwise it looked like a fun experience and I'm looking forward to seeing how your new home turns out. Plan looks amazing and it's all pretty inspiring

This reminds me of The Money Pit, how the house was completely ripped apart after day 1... Thankfully in end, the finished house is a masterpiece. We have faith in you Komar family! haha 😊

I’d have deconstructed the kitchen so that the cabinetry could be repurposed

I would have been no help at all in demo of this project. I would have been trying to save everything to repurpose. 😂😂😂

Just found your site and enjoying it immensely, the house start are my go to new series. I thought your new mailbox was amazing

Wow, that is a MAJOR project. Best of luck as things progress and excited to see the finished product.

What an amazing project. keep it up!

What a major project! nice to seeing reno vids from you guys! keep it up

Your videos are so fun to watch, I wait the entire time for them to drop. Your engagement with the audience and you know watching the whole family doing something and doing it with fun is really something else . Wish you all the best for upcoming projects and one request. It would really be great if your videos come a little faster. Cheers, 🇧🇩

This series will be fun to watch!!!

I am so excited for you guys!! I have been waiting on the reno vids since you guys moved in here!!! It’s going to look so good!

Glad to be small part of this project. I can't wait to see it come all together.

You and your family work so hard, congratulations on this huge reno. Can't wait to see the *wink wink* weekly updates😅. You got this!

I like the 😊house

I would have killed to have a house like that before the renovation.

Would've been a fun couple of days of extreme stress relief and violent meditation, if I would've lived in the US. Lmao. Would've been more than happy to help out. This looks INSANE! Seriously! Looking forward to how everything will look in the end!

I can’t wait! I’m hoping for custom built projects to watch like custom kitchen, laundry, pantry room and bathroom cabinets!!! Hint hint, but no I’m excited for you and your tight nit family, love that they all came together to help destroy your house lol! I recently built my Mom a solid hickory vanity with a conservative yet mid century modern feel (Shara here on YT built two for her parents with custom trim and mine is definitely influenced by her style only I used hickory and tested myself with bridle and half lap joints), I still have the doors and drawers left because I also built a form and poured z countertops white cement mix… no it’s not perfect but damn near for never having poured concrete ever. I used slate texture for the seen edges, cut out for a side sink and lightly polished it using Cheng’s sealer which I’m quite happy with. It’s all in the form and preparation with concrete from what I learned but anyways I mention what I’m doing because there’s a moment or many moments when you’re working hard to provide a product or result for someone you love and care about and it starts to come together. Ik you’ll have maaaaany with your family and building this dream home. I love the layout, the extension of upstairs for a master suite, the layout of the first floor is perfect and timeless. Can’t wait for what’s next

To do all of that for only $30K would be a steal. That looks more like $300K…

You did a LOT OF WORK here. What drawing program was being used at 5:00? Thanks.

Luckily nobody was hurt in this demo. So many hammers swinging at the same time close proximity to each other. It was a bit excessive. Why not take things down in bigger chunks. It would have been less work.

👏👏👏👏 Congratulations for finally archiving yr dream

That is one massive project! Can’t wait to see how it all comes together!!

Congrats Bart

Now THAT was a gut job! Nice work buddy. Can’t wait to see the end result and what this entire makeover transformation.

Congrats great project!!

I had that same ant issue when I took out some windows facing west. There was SO many... the larva looked like pinto beans.. haha.

Really well done motivates me to do the same!!

very rad

Larva is singular, larvae is plural. So you were almost right. The pronounciation of larvae is with a long 'e' or long 'i' sound in the final syllable, not a long 'a'.

Love ya… but so glad I missed this. 😂

girl you ATE

Cheap tip for wasps is ant powder

You should have made the video if you walked in surprised and you found your house that way so this way you get insurance claim and they would pay for your entire project lol...

I wish I could have been there, I love demo days... my father in law says I'm over good at demo ... This looks like a big project, are you tracking you budget to see how on track you are with it?

Maaate, this is f@#$ing HUGE. Looking forward to watching it through to the end. What is the cost of the entire Reno? Is that something you are planning on revealing?

Living area needs more natural light. Maybe move the office somewhere else?

Are you living in the basement?

not the movie room bunk bed, say it ain't so.

You could have donated so much to the ReStore😳

What an amazing project. But you jumping into that pile of *fiberglass* insulation made me cringe. Just...please, no.

Did honey-bunny take a chainsaw to that beautiful bed with the projector you made for your daughter? 😮😮😮

The question is, how much does all this cost?😅

you should have donated most of that...

i gotta be honest, as a DIY guy myself who likes to reuse, fix, and save money anywhere i can, seeing you just swinging hammers axes and baseball bats at stuff kinda hurts, it feels like this video is aimed at tiktok addicted kids who just like the instant gratification of watching something break
