Lfg… Been watching forever, never deemed to leave a comment til now. Buylt I feel you. Im currently building a house on the weekends, completely out if pocket, just my wife and I. The stress is real. Your aversion to the easy fix (pouring a self leveling topping to get that slab right) is laudable but not all toppings are created equal! There are some that are very technically advanced and have a hight flexibility/ crack resistance when cured. What the previous owners did was not necessarily the wrong approach it was just done horribly. Shonox, mapei, ardex all make suitable products- self leveling toppings with high flexibility- even some that cure hard enough to be left exposed as a wear layer. Have a commercial flooring contractor Dam up your door thesholds, remove base boards, pour a quality self leveler in multiple "lifts". Should be able to get that done for $15/ sf or so (not including new flooring). Alrernatively there are porcelain paver systems for exterior tile applications that free lay in plastic pedestals that twist up/down to adjust to level. This is a totally modular, totally adjustible exteior grade flooring system- pricy but no where near removing slab and doweling in new concrete. Finally, best/ most efficient option to my mind would be to put some wood sleepers down over that roller coaster slab and put in a new plywood subfloor. This would be stable under expansion and contraction/ minor settling. Would eliminate any cracking concerns. Would also add value by providing another cavity for future owners to run additional electrical under floor. If your door openings are 7'6 or taller you have room to do this- will just have to trim doors shorter and replace base boards. Food for thought!
Just rent it out
Man, the first house my wife and I bought in 2007 before the crash ended up strapping us when we had to move. Luckily the work we had put in saved us from a curb appeal standpoint. We thought we were going to have to pay $12k to get out of it based on comps. Ended up getting an offer and only had to pay about $1200. But that's still a lot for a student new grad (LSU) with a 4 year old. The tide will turn.
Merlin bird app is a sanity saver for figuring out what bird youre hearing!
I’m a local plumber you might not see this but I can help yall with anything if needed in the future!
Do not white wash it.
SOUNDS LIKE TIME TO TURN IT INTO A RENTAL
not buying this bro, there are 18-20 year olds with less subs and fame than you, and they are balling, how could this break you, all of us watching struggle everyday, this video is insensitive.
ill do it all for free
My brother law house is still on sale in Texas… Been already almost 6 months n people just wanna wait til 2025 n see if house price drop… Wish you luck LFG…
why would you try to hurt a possum? They are harmless.
I’m a believer in, you reap what you sow in this world. You are good people with great morals. I will pray for many blessings to fall upon your family. Doing the right thing is always worth it.
Met him at Dfw airport back in September. Nice guy
Relax bud you don’t need all that stress, it’s terrible for your health.
I don’t understand, way too much money!
The Googan Squad is no longer the same. Years have passed and so has the team. Sad to see. Its going away slowly.
Justin don’t pay that much for the floor. Take off all the trim and do an overlay of the concrete and lay new floors. Maybe 5k at the most. You can even by self leveler and jut pour it and it will do it for you. Do not let that contractor take your money.
If the concrete is that out of level could try skim coating the entire floor to level it up. Will also have a nice finish to it.
It could be worse you could not have the fame you have and be going through it .Thats why I know you got this you work hard and have youtube and Googan so you make it back.
Where are your googan brothers with the help?
Instead of googan merchandise, bring back your own custom brand again. Get extra money that way. I loved the Texas rigged and Make every cast count shirts
You need to put lipstick on a pig contractor's are milking you
I’m going through a hard time right now so this actually helped me
100k in fixes you are nuts my dad does siding did it for 16 years he would have done that house for you for maybe 10k$ you buy materials unreal
Sorry your going thru this
Not sure if someone already identified it, but bird at the end is a Northern Flicker.
What happened to googan?
The last time I watched your channel you were building the chicken coupe at the house you are selling! Feels like I’ve missed a lot! Now you’re building a new one at the new house! Lol
The laser in the garage are parking markers. You pull your car in where you want it and then set the laser to hit a certain point on your dash so you know how far to pull in each time! The last time I watched your channel you were building the chicken coupe at the house you are selling! Feels like I’ve missed a lot! Now you’re building a new one at the new house! Lol
Instead of taking out a loan, why don’t you just knock 25,000 off the price of the house? Or sell for asking with a guarantee of 25,000 back to fix the floor. You have options other than just continually sinking money into the issue
