Things they Don't Tell You How to Fix on House Flipping Shows

Most people don't know how or just completely avoid structural house maintenance. When you go to renovate you need to try and fix it to the best of your ability. Some things I've come across and have had to fix:

Termite damage

Poorly built 'structural walls'

2x4s cut down to 2x2s holding up joists which caused floors to sag

Joists just completely cut off and left unsupported

Giant holes cut through the sill plate

Joists improperly supported across long spans (no blocking or bridging)

Notched joists splitting

Sinking posts

Now I'm not a carpenter, or a structural engineer for that matter, but I've been referencing Renovating Old Houses by George Nash. It's got a lot of really great DIY information for fixing common issues in old houses. I definitely recommend picking up a copy if you plan on doing any structural work on your house new or old! There were things in there I could not find through searching the web.

Another great reference is the This Old House YouTube channel and Home RenoVision. I have really gotten a lot of great information from these resources and fully recommend them!

If anyone is interested in how I solved any of the above listed problems in details leave a note! Otherwise, those references have all the information you need!

I'm trying to get caught up on posting so that I can start going more in detail with current projects. Please follow and opt into notifications for new posts! Most of my posts get lost in your feed. When I post consistently, it's usually only twice per week. So if you like my content please opt into notifications 🙏🏻
