When the Covid-19 pandemic shut everything down (just 2 weeks to flatten the curve, right?) — and it was near impossible to get your hands on building materials — I decided to upcycle. I reused a bunch of materials and built a shed.
Oops! We didn’t actually build this house (as I said in the video), but we did put on an addition. In this video, I talk about some design issues with our eavestrough installation and how I dealt with it.
When you’re renovating a house built in the 1880’s, you find all sorts of interesting things. Frying pans in the walls, car jacks in the attic, 70-year-old license plates and car parts buried in the side yard, and this (???). We’re lucky our house is still standing.
This was a quick project. I had a second-floor dormer window that needed to be replaced in our old house. Apologies for the wind at the beginning of the video. The sound does get better.
