Q & A

  • What is the main goal of the kitchen renovation project?

    -The main goal of the kitchen renovation project is to transform two small spaces into one large one, maximize ceiling height, and update the kitchen without encountering any significant delays or issues during the renovation process.

  • How did the team prepare for the demolition day?

    -The team prepared for the demolition day by clearing out all the items from the kitchen, including food, spices, and salvageable hardware. They also created a makeshift kitchenette in the living room to access some items during the 3-month renovation period.

  • What was the importance of labeling items during the renovation?

    -Labeling items was crucial to avoid any confusion or accidental disposal of items that were meant to be saved, such as the refrigerator, dishwasher, lights, and other fixtures. This practice helps ensure that everyone involved in the renovation is aware of what should be preserved.

  • What structural changes were discussed with the structural engineer?

    -The structural changes discussed with the structural engineer included combining two rooms into one, increasing the ceiling height, and adding support for seismic activity. They also discussed the removal of a brick to prevent water accumulation and potential damage to the foundation.

  • What was the significance of the beams installed in the ceiling?

    -The beams installed in the ceiling provided both structural support and an aesthetic appeal. They contributed to the desired exposed beam look that matches the rest of the house and enhances the overall design of the kitchen.

  • What was the challenge with the roof slope during the renovation?

    -The challenge with the roof slope was to maintain the same slope for consistency and to achieve the maximum height in the kitchen. The team had to carefully plan the placement and height of the beams and the ceiling to ensure that the desired slope was maintained.

  • How did the team address the flooding issue in the living room?

    -The team addressed the flooding issue by removing the brick that was causing water to accumulate near the house. This change was intended to direct water away from the house and into a proper drainage path, preventing future flooding and potential damage to the foundation.

  • What was the decision regarding the French doors in the kitchen?

    -The decision was made to replace the old French doors with new ones that would fit the updated structure of the kitchen. The team had to reframe the doorway to accommodate the new doors and ensure proper support and alignment.

  • What was the purpose of adding shear walls during the renovation?

    -Shear walls were added to provide additional structural support to the kitchen, especially considering the seismic activity in the Los Angeles area. The plywood added behind the sheathing makes the walls stronger and helps with structural integrity.

  • What was the final outcome of the skylights installation?

    -The final outcome of the skylights installation was positive. Although the team had to opt for a 2 by 2 foot skylight instead of the desired 2x4 foot due to structural limitations, the skylights brought in a significant amount of natural light into the kitchen, enhancing the space's ambiance.

  • How did the patching of the brick floor turn out?

    -The patching of the brick floor turned out well. The team was able to source the same brick that was originally in the kitchen, ensuring a seamless match. They leveled the floor and made necessary repairs, resulting in a restored and visually pleasing surface.

06:16

okay so this is a wrap on day one of

06:17

demo so this is the first time that

06:19

Romeo and I are going to see it without

06:21

the wall we don't know we don't know how

06:22

far they were able to get today but they

06:24

worked all day I think we're going to be

06:26

able to see like how big the room is

06:29

actually going going to feel you don't

06:30

know how bad I wanted to pick up a

06:33

crowbar and like tear something up but

06:36

you know like priorities the baby but oh

06:40

I wanted I wanted to do it so bad I was

06:41

so in I was so excited it feels so much

06:45

wider obviously we they haven't gone up

06:48

in this side yet they were able to get

06:50

all of the Cabinetry all of the

06:52

countertops out today they were able to

06:55

expose the center wall so that I can see

06:58

what's happening so so that they can

07:00

actually remove it and they were able to

07:02

go up in the ceiling on the dining room

07:05

side not even 24 hours ago we were in

07:07

this kitchen making brownies and quesas

07:11

we were we were literally cooking less

07:13

than 24 hours ago in this kitchen and

07:15

now it's like not here it's like not

07:18

here I mean we were literally cleaning

07:19

it out yesterday going to follow this

07:21

the roof line for 6 fet and then it's

07:25

going to be 5T of flat in the center and

07:28

then 6t down on the other side so we're

07:30

going to be able to gain 2 to 2 and 1/2

07:33

ft in the center of the room which is

07:36

going to make the whole Space feel so

07:38

much taller because now we've made it a

07:40

lot wider because we've doubled the size

07:42

by making two rooms one room although I

07:45

did want to get my hand dirty and

07:46

actually demo some stuff they did about

07:48

two weeks worth of work for me and you

07:51

in one day is it really muddy down there

07:55

yeah it's been flooded which is not good

07:57

for the foundation yeah the good thing

08:00

is this uh

08:02

clay the clay doesn't let the water go

08:05

inside avoid the water going

08:11

under all the space is

08:14

fled our living room flooded and it's

08:16

been a fear an ongoing fear of trying to

08:19

maintain it because I just don't think

08:21

that that trough where it jumps down

08:25

here and dips down makes sense way that

08:28

this is planned it was just just an old

08:30

school way of of thinking that's not how

08:32

they would do it now they would never

08:33

create this hole because the brick drops

08:36

down right here and makes a hole next to

08:38

our back doors not only did our living

08:40

room flood but also it's creating extra

08:43

moisture and water pouring underneath

08:45

our house and could potentially in the

08:48

long run really really hurt our

08:50

foundation So the plan is to eliminate

08:52

the hole and the containment of water in

08:55

this area by removing the brick so that

08:58

water that does pour over from the pool

09:01

and rain in general can simply pour down

09:04

into a proper drainage path instead of

09:07

pouring into our house and collecting

09:09

under our house ruining the foundation

09:12

progress update on day three of demo

09:15

we've got the old porch roof gone demoed

09:20

out got that junk out of the way for us

09:24

to do the cathedral ceiling which is so

09:26

good we've got this window demoed out

09:29

and remove removed which is awesome

09:31

because that's going to be a solid wall

09:33

behind our oven they've got some

09:35

supportive pieces in here just for now

09:38

while they're going to work on the

09:39

framing for the cathedral so interesting

09:42

that this used to be a door used to be

09:46

an entryway that would have gone into

09:47

the living room the front living room

09:49

the formal living room and something

09:51

here I think something there I'm not

09:55

sure kind of looks like another door but

09:58

it's very interesting just getting

10:00

everything cleaned out and then this

10:02

electrical sub panel will go away and

10:04

we'll have our single panel cuz we don't

10:06

really have a place for a sub panel we

10:07

don't have a lot of closets downstairs

10:09

so so

10:13

exciting so this is day four of working

10:15

on demo and new structure of the ceiling

10:20

so they have to put extra support for

10:22

obviously load and size seismic you know

10:25

we have earthquakes here so they need um

10:27

some sheer walls they're doing a lot of

10:29

out work and a lot of reframing on some

10:31

old damage of 2x4s we're basically

10:33

taking this out these two windows are

10:36

becoming big doors you know so like like

10:39

skinny doors four of them side by side

10:41

all this damage that we had previously

10:43

from old termite damage is going to be

10:46

pulled out and and fixed a nice new two

10:50

code header above these doors you really

10:52

get to feel how tall it's actually going

10:57

to be in here it's not going to go all

10:58

the way to the peak obviously cuz we

11:00

chose not to do a point and do a a full

11:02

Vault but we're going to have it chopped

11:04

a little bit so that we can run AC and

11:07

things and it matches the rest of the

11:08

house cuz we also have that in the in

11:10

the house and then they put mesh down so

11:12

this is where the wall oh they removed

11:14

the whole wall they removed the whole

11:16

wall I didn't realize they were saw in

11:18

here everything so they've got two

11:20

supportive Things They removed the whole

11:21

Center wall that was behind our oven

11:23

this is where that the Cabinetry was so

11:26

there wasn't any brick the brick floor

11:28

was added after they had already had

11:30

that so we need to patch the brick floor

11:32

just in the center of the space and over

11:35

by the by the sink area this was an old

11:39

entryway to the living room they put

11:41

more support here cuz it was not

11:43

supported well at all big post here for

11:46

our vaated Cathedral for our ceiling

11:48

this is going to be big support you can

11:50

see they also put another one here this

11:52

is just 4 days in I know 4 days from

11:55

like okay let's let's break wall this

11:58

would have taken us probably like 2

11:59

months you can tell like the newer

12:01

pieces they're just adding that

12:03

structural support that it really

12:06

needs it's officially day five of demo

12:10

and they are going to be working on

12:11

making the hole in space for our new

12:13

French doors and closing up the old

12:28

one

12:53

[Music]

12:58

the real beams and the structural

15:45

changes that needed to happen

15:47

specifically in this area my arms could

15:51

never yesterday they lifted 2 180 lb

15:54

beams up four guys and ladders and

15:58

Leverage and it was fascinating to watch

16:01

because I'm learning so much through

16:02

this process they obviously have years

16:05

and years and years and years of

16:06

experience on site doing construction

16:09

like this I love my contractor because

16:11

he's like telling me and and educating

16:13

me as I go because I love to know stuff

16:15

like this he's just they literally

16:17

fantastic you live in Los Angeles area

16:20

and you need a builder I got you Mega

16:22

Builders I will always leave their

16:24

information in any of the description

16:26

boxes of these videos because they are

16:28

excellent so they were able to do lots

16:30

of structural work today this area is so

16:33

unusual part Original Part edition part

16:37

Edition Edition the roof line and

16:40

everything is all different it ended up

16:43

being fine but a lot of things needed to

16:45

be replaced just to make sure that it's

16:47

done exceptionally well all of this

16:50

structural work is amazing this is now

16:53

going to be the center of the room and

16:55

it's going to be the flat part of the

16:57

cathedral ceiling look how small I look

17:00

in this space look how much taller we've

17:03

gotten the ceiling it was so worth it I

17:06

knew it was going to be worth it truly I

17:08

was like I just I I Feel It In My Bones

17:11

I just I have to Vault this ceiling it's

17:13

going to make a major impact on the

17:15

space and it totally totally does so we

17:18

were able to get to 10 and 1/2 ft in the

17:21

center of the room and on the sides they

17:23

drop down to 8 ft so you can kind of

17:25

imagine the kind of pitch that it's

17:27

going up to so right now I'm kind of

17:29

standing at the oven like this is where

17:31

the oven is going to be right in the

17:33

center of this flat part of the ceiling

17:36

framing work they still need to do is

17:39

frame up this hole where our French

17:43

doors used to be and then add the proper

17:46

header here for our new French doors

17:49

going out to the pool and just bring

17:52

this whole like frame in this whole

17:54

section so that we have the frame in for

17:57

the doors to be custom another

17:59

structural addition that they're making

18:02

to this space is actually adding sheer

18:04

walls which is the addition of plywood

18:08

behind the she rock it makes the walls

18:10

really strong and it helps with like

18:11

seismic structural issues which never

18:14

even knew that before but that's one of

18:16

the requirements that the engineer

18:18

really wanted in order to further

18:20

support these walls and just make sure

18:22

that it's really really really

18:24

structurally sound and it's going to

18:25

last forever and ever and ever I also

18:28

think think that this right here there's

18:32

an old gas line here a pipe sticking up

18:36

and there's a circular old circular

18:39

space in the roof the old like shingle

18:42

roof there either was an oven here or a

18:45

fireplace maybe a gas fireplace because

18:48

this used to be like kind of like a

18:50

patio very interesting I just love old

18:52

houses for all their little quirky

18:54

things that happen so things being off

18:57

and and unusual shaped is something that

19:00

I actually like because it was original

19:02

to the house or somewhat original like

19:05

for instance the house kicks out right

19:07

here so part of the slope on one side is

19:10

a lot longer than the other and that's

19:12

just part of its charm we're going with

19:15

it 40 Skylight 40 40 away okay 40 away

19:21

from the thing okay so we're keeping the

19:23

distance 27 is from here yeah we have

19:26

the other 15 a good 15 in but

19:30

here we are

19:33

27 you're right here I mean so the

19:37

Skylight is going to start right where

19:38

the cabinet stops the bottom ones oh the

19:41

bottom ones yeah cuz the top ones will

19:43

only be 12 or 14 somewhere in there cor

19:45

right but it's all ratio so here you

19:49

have a drywall still so the 27 is right

19:53

here I don't mind it at all it is what

19:56

it is yeah three in from the beam yeah

19:59

and then we do the same thing the other

20:01

side yeah this is okay we going do the

20:03

same thing no I like it because I like

20:05

that it's not in the doorway because it

20:06

brings light in where there's a wall all

20:09

right I think Jo this is it we nail it

20:11

yeah I knew you nailed it already I

20:12

watched you do

20:14

it like that's a good this looks so good

20:17

by the way I saw this last night I was

20:20

like oh there's a more like nothing ever

20:23

happen this is already fixed this is

20:24

from yesterday yeah from yesterday all

20:26

of that and all of that yeah it looks so

20:29

good oh and that's the the Skylight yeah

20:32

it's beautiful the V it's flat it's

20:36

clear it's beautiful yeah you can

20:39

operate you can open it I mean nothing

20:41

yeah so it's just stationary I mean if

20:43

it's bothering too much light it's a

20:44

kitchen though so you can never give me

20:47

enough

20:57

light

20:59

today is the final day of demo and

21:01

structural changes to our kitchen we've

21:04

made so much progress in the last two

21:06

weeks of just them working on all of

21:08

this today they're going to be doing the

21:09

skylights which is super exciting to see

21:11

some new and natural light come into

21:13

this space also just going to be

21:15

finishing up some cutting that they need

21:16

for the sheer walls I don't think

21:18

they're going to be applying them today

21:20

they're going to wait for inspections

21:21

and things like that to be you know kind

21:23

of happen um but they're going to get

21:25

all of those kind of cut and prepped to

21:27

go up before they drywall the amount of

21:30

structural support that we actually did

21:32

have to add in this space was way more

21:35

than we bargained for I've never seen so

21:37

much wood but it's all necessary when

21:40

you live in a place that can get shook

21:42

up a little bit there's a lot more

21:45

things that you have to do in order to

21:46

meet code and to just protect us our

21:50

family and the structure from any kind

21:52

of seismic impact or changes and shifts

21:55

over time this kitchen will now outlive

21:58

me so I'm very excited about that so

22:01

this is the time of day that we do not

22:03

get any direct sunlight into the space

22:06

the sun is already passed the trees in

22:08

the back it has been dark in here while

22:10

they have been doing structural changes

22:12

with these two skylights it makes such a

22:16

big difference we were only able to do a

22:19

2 by two Skylight instead of doing a 2x4

22:23

foot Skylight like I wanted so it would

22:24

have been more rectangular we had to go

22:27

with what the structure should could

22:28

support and we just didn't have enough

22:31

space over here on this side of the room

22:34

to do a larger Skylight so I was a

22:36

little worried I was like oh is it going

22:38

to give me the light that I want is it

22:40

going to be able to you know give me

22:41

that sunlight is it going to be worth it

22:44

it was totally worth it I love the look

22:48

at the light that's coming in on me

22:49

right now there's obviously no

22:50

electricity in here sunlight that's

22:52

coming in at like 6:00 p.m. in the

22:55

afternoon as you can see skylights can

22:57

make such a big difference in space I

22:58

mean you see all the light that's coming

23:00

in on me that's really soft we wouldn't

23:02

have that if it was just a solid roof so

23:05

definitely worth the investment in the

23:07

Skylight themselves and just the work

23:09

and the labor that it took to actually

23:10

frame these out today I'm big on

23:13

Lighting in a home and having the right

23:15

amount of light but also playing with

23:18

the light that you can get naturally you

23:20

know and this is awesome I love they

23:23

were also able to finish up patching the

23:24

flooring today it's like it never

23:27

happened they were able to sourc the

23:28

same brick that was in our kitchen which

23:30

I don't think was crazy hard to find um

23:33

but they were able to find it and get it

23:34

here within like the same day they were

23:36

able to perfect it like the level of the

23:39

floor add all the things that they

23:41

needed underneath and really there were

23:44

a couple of spots that needed to be

23:46

repaired because this brick is kind of a

23:48

newer flooring we did see some older

23:50

remnants of flooring underneath it looks

23:52

fantastic I'm so excited this room is so

23:55

big it's crazy we are getting to the

23:59

level and style of kitchen that this

24:01

house deserves that I feel like I want

24:04

and deserve and it's it's really

24:06

starting to take shape and come to life

24:08

it feels so good being able to walk in

24:10

here without the center wall really

24:12

getting to experience the space without

24:15

the low ceilings and just what it could

24:18

become as a complete room with a dining

24:21

room and a kitchen rather than two

24:23

separate spaces so we are definitely

24:24

moving in the right direction so I hope

24:27

you guys enjoyed episode two of the

24:29

kitchen renovation if you did Miss

24:31

episode one where I talked about my

24:33

design ideas the overall direction and

24:35

the style that we are taking this

24:36

kitchen I will leave it linked for you

24:38

I'll also create a whole playlist for

24:40

you so you can follow along as we

24:42

transform the space into the most

24:45

amazing kitchen I hope now that we are

24:46

done with the demo and structural phase

24:48

we'll start on Electrical Plumbing all

24:51

of that stuff will start to be perfected

24:53

and put into place and we can start

24:56

shopping for fun things like stone for

24:58

our countertops working on the Cabinetry

25:00

with the cabinet guy picking cabinet

25:03

profiles starting to install everything

25:05

so you really get to see the the design

25:07

kind of come together and eventually

25:09

decorate so don't forget to subscribe

25:12
