Impossible Janky Carpentry. Can It Be Repaired? - The Grand Lady Victorian Renovation

Things are moving along at top speed with lots of updates from Randy and many laughs to boot. Jim repairs what looks like an impossible inane goof by our previous carpenter and the dirt around the foundation has been regraded, filled with gravel and covered with plastic. The water is already draining away from the house! Thank you for being here!

So happy the basement is finally dry and secure. One of those big things that makes every other thing just a little bit easier. Amazing how it was done, too.

When I read the title of the video I thought "Oh NO not Randy" (being the janky carpenter). Thankfully it was not your beloved Randy. Glad things are cracking on.

Randy is a treasure who has knowledge and a passion for the job!

OMG ! That bad repair on the pocket door was scary ! I cant believe that person thought it was ok to do that and it would be ok ?!

You have some of the best editing I have seen on Youdtube.

Thank you for your explanation on the french drain.

Hi guys! It must feel good to have someone helping that you don’t have to hover over. Kinda like perusing a china shop by yourself, as opposed to with an overactive toddler. Are you considering an old door for the pocket door? A cool old door would look great (and give you an excuse to hit the salvage shops!)

[margaretorden]

I’m glad you are getting the structure fixed. Randy and Jim sure do work well together!

Jim and Lindsey it seems like the house is moving real fast. I hope you guys are packing at the old place. I just loved that blue/green/aqua tile you have for the bathroom.💙💙

Another great video. Love the progress you guys are making. Randy is super. Glad Mr. Jim was able to fix the other carpenters screw ups, some people just can't be trusted to do quality work anymore. I hope things continue full speed ahead for you. CRACK ON!!!❤❤

The tile you want doesn't always fit the structure design. Just something to think about 😉

Oh Randy, not letting her tell me what you're going to do with the hidden stairwell, but I'm a daughter of a carpenter and recognize the framing. It should be interesting for sure!

Need to explain why you could not just take out bad stud and replace.

Schluter does not recommend hex tile on their shower pans. (I'm as disappointed as you are.)
