15 grand house but Nick Moon is a million dollar friend.

Ryan, Nick is the best friend to be helping you and TEACHING you how to renovate your $15, 000 house. This is all invaluable and I know you’re very grateful. The Moon’s are the best and their hearts are in the right place, so any plug given to their channel is a well deserved plug!! ❤

They also have a liquid membrane that you can brush on or even spray on from a can.
Don't forget the noggin's.😂

Nick is definitely a man of many talents! Well done, Nick and Ryan!

Wow. 50 joists! You have your work cut out for you. Glad to see Nick helping! 🥰

[ricardathomason]

Maybe Ryan could be stapling the membrane on the one end of the beams before Nick comes again. One less thing to do . Maybe there are other things to be done also while you are waiting for Nicks return. Utilize Nicks time wisely.In other words, get the prep work done ahead of time👍

I absolutely love the stairwell being wide open!

Nick moon, is there anything the man can’t do. He’s a legend.

[brittneyemerson]

Some forethought- before installing all pieces of subfloor- put all of your upper floor joists up there, as many as you can for the higher up floors so you don’t have to haul them through windows. At the very least- leave a couple sub panels screwed at the corners so you can undo them as you go higher and higher up and can afford mor joists. Love the progress

Ryan, I very much enjoy watching your renovation progress, but I have some questions which I hope you will answer.
1. On the shared lavender-colored walls there appears to be the remnants of doorway openings. At one time was your place part of the next-door unit?
2. On the rear wall, the alcove/built-in looks like remnants of a window frame, which would face out the rear of the building. Was there ever rear facing windows on your home?
3. Can you post in an upcoming video, the outside of the rear of the house to show what it looks like?
4. Do you own just enough land out back, so that you have access to do building maintenance on your rear exterior walls?
5. Do you plan to eventually paint the street side exterior facade after everything inside is complete?
6. Does Nick need to travel far from his home to help you? (What a terrific guy/friend!)
Have a great day! :)

Love how you and Nick work together . You could also be a comedy demo.

[donnasteinberg]

Working with Nick Moon is so fun and he so knowledgeable! What can that Man not do? Plus he is so sweet! Your sweet too Ryan. I love that staircase and I hope you leave that floor open for airiness and space. Nice job!

[littleone]

Its amazing What Nick Moon can do ! His friendship is an absolutely godsend and it's priceless!!
May we all be as fortunate as you are with Nick's friendship❤

Congrats on getting the support beams in place so you can get permanently secure them.

[dianeknight]

Ryan you can get a spray that waterproofs the ends, I saw Dan on Escape to Rural France use it.

[tambramccauley]

looks like you need another ladder--Nick is your hero, for sure

[ChadHoskinOhio]

Wearing a turtleneck sweater while doing construction must be a French/UK thing

[nicolinavincelli]

Ryan, glad you have not given up. Nick is there to help and you seem much happier. Keep it going.

[bclark]

At least all the old is out and the new is on its way in. That's called progress! 👍

Some ideas for the future. First: PLEASE secure the ladder Nick was on at the first to the wall in some way. I would hate for him to fall because it isn't! Second: It would be better to have the plastic overlap at the bottom instead of the top. That way it reduces the chance of water seeping in through the seams and if it does it would have a better chance of getting out.
