The "I did this to my house" Thread.

I'm into it!!! The turtle gives you the answers!

Motherfuxxers who used to live here just put floors on top of floors. 3 layers of floors.

No floors!

Building a wall to close off the stairs to the second floor


Kitchen gone in a bit more than 60 seconds. Putting up another wall to close off the kitchen area. First time implementing a sliding door in a wall. I think it's going to be good.



Previous owners put two layers of tiles in the entrance room. Weirdchamps.

Put in a new digital door lock. No more keys, woooo!

A house consists of a lot of trash. This is less than 50% of the trash from less than half of the house.


Still got a shit ton of work left. It will be my full time job for the rest of the year, but in the end, I think it's going to be great.

Looks great! I can't chastise the previous owners cause that would be me "Yeah it's fine... Just put it one top. More insulation?"
Stupid question... digital door... what if the power goes out?

[UglyCasanova]

It's battery-powered

Starts beeping about two weeks before the battery runs out. Battery is changed on the inside.

Is it AI/APP controled? If your amazon box hears you shit'talking Bezos will Alexa lock you out of your house?

[$harkToootth]

Well that makes too much sense.

It's not connected to an app/the internet. You make a 6-10 digit code and you can program limited access if needed (another code that lasts x amount of hours/days/weeks or x amount of times), or you can hold a small token/plastic coin looking thing up to the lock to bypass having to type in a code, but I haven't bothered with that. Enjoying not having to bring anything along with me when I walk out the door.

Oh, and if anyone tries to mess with it, like drill into it or get the code wrong too many times, it has a built-in 80 desibel alarm. All high end freqs. I tried it. I hurts.

Now that's a chill the fuck out basement

Now that's a chill the fuck out basement

It’s an American basement. Which means it’s massive.
We started working on some basement stuff a few years ago but progress is at a standstill due to impending child, etc.

Should upload some pictures of the damn playhouse I’ve been working on with my father in law. Is basically a studio apartment in my back yard.

X marks the spot for HULK SMASH (no Hulk included).



Almost done with the destruction of house part. I can't wait to start the constructing part.

Edit: and this showed up the other day:


If anyone remembers how Dwight from the Office reacts to the firetrucks arriving after Fire Guy did his thing... That was me seeing this thing. No more trash!

Is he building it with you so you will stay away from his daughter and stop making babies?

Finished the sliding door wall
Began putting down new floors in the second floor mini bedrooms


Finished building half of the stairs (still needs some work though). This work is incredibly difficult and frustrating.

New windows arrived (10 of them, plus a new porch door). Look at this big ass window that's going to replace the 6 small windows. Nice! I'm hyped for this one.
