As a structural engineer, I see this all the time. A renovation will always have surprises and will always grow. It is one of the fundamental laws of renovations. But don't worry, what you lose in money, we gain in entertainment. Just know that you are not alone.😀

There is no way anyone can be that upbeat with all those surprises. My condolences to your pocketbook. Best of luck good sir.

Of all the home renovation projects I’ve seen on YouTube, this is probably the one I want to see the most!

[roguesquadron]

Wow, lacking a final inspection is huge. I’m adding this to the list of things to look for when buying a house!

Ah the joys of remodeling old cabins. I’ve got two 80 and 10 years old… endless fun.

As you're anticipating having families with kids there to fill the bunk room, consider a bathtub in one of the bathrooms instead of all showers.

That reminds me - the primary bath probably had a hall doorway because it was the one set up for a wheelchair user with grab rails and room to maneuver and the 2nd doorway made it easier to get to.

If you're going to replace both the heater and the AC then put in a heat pump system instead. I heard Oregon offers great incentives, up to $4000.

I'll say that I do love our 4-foot hallways in our current home, built in 1966, when Captain Kirk first flew thru space. With our wooden floors we sometimes use it as a bowling lane for the kids toy bowling set. LOL It's cool to see this progress and problem solving. Thanks for sharing!

Put in a built-in bookshelf next to the slider. That way it hides that it’s a weird wall and makes use of the extra space. 😉

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to future videos of this project. Since you are redoing the loft and installing new stairs, I would highly recommend you relocate the stairs to one of the interior areas away from the entryway and open up the constricted pinch point entryway. Instead of one long run of open stairs, consider a half flight to a landing then another half flight of stairs turned back on itself to the second floor. The footprint is much more compact.

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

You've built a great channel and business around it. The funds are there to address these reno surprises. Additional time is the largest cost.

My God.. I am so happy you're paying for this and not me. Good luck Jason! I am behind you 100% of this project!

Looks like a great place to park the Airstream until the cabin work is completed. Your title insurance company should have checked for open permits before final settlement...at least they do in other parts of the country. Yes as others have commented, you are quite upbeat in a video with a bunch of bad news. I am sure you will make it perfect in the end.

Jason, thanks for the update! Lots of work ahead. Looking forward to seeing you do your thing!

[funkyjohnhuie]

Love this update.

And lol, the whole video felt like i was on a video chat with you, Jason. When you asked if we remembered the sarcophagus and stuff, etc. Like, it wasn't until halfway through the video that i realized "oh yeah, i saw the last cabin update on YouTube, and i don't know Jason in real life at all. " 😂

Well done, keep the videos coming!

[johnnyb]

Wow, renovations are always a discovery process, but to not even have an original final inspection... YIKES!!! But glad to see you are going to bring the house forward and make it wonderful. Great job!

[JN-urve]

Love all the technical data you shared. I appreciated it. Though I’m honesty not too surprised about all the issues. The more you know about construction the more crazy stories you hear. Especially about ones this age

[novampires]

Remodeling is a long slow process with many surprises but! You can go at your pocket books speed, change your mind about layout as you spend time in the space and in the end will have a story to tell. New houses have no history or character.😊

I've had nightmares less scary than this video.
