I spent $5,000 to gain $25,000 in Equity!!! DIY MODERN KITCHEN RENOVATION

You’re lucky to have such supportive parents. I’m sure they’re very proud of you.

Add hardware to the cabinet doors and drawers. They're not only jewelry for the cabinets, but they protect the cabinets and drawers because people don't have to yank them open by grabbing the corner of the cabinet. It also makes the kitchen look more finished and expensive. I'd line the cabinets in drawer bottoms as well to protect from spills. This will keep the cabinets in great shape for much longer.

Loved the video but I think the best part is seeing you and your Dad working so well together. Kudos to Dad 😊

So excited to get another "Full Room" Renovation video out!! We've come a long way with this flip and there's only 1 bathroom left before we're all done!!! Let me know what you think the equity increase (or decrease 😜) might be!! Also thanks a ton for watching!

Great work overall. One big error - "duct tape" is actually not rated for ducting/vent applications. You need a foil backed tape that is rated for HVAC ducting. Likely not an issue since you're just exhausting cooktop fumes, but very important in heating applications or ventilation from a high heat source (dryers, furnaces, etc).

Shoutout to Gary for his continued help on this house and for raising an awesome son. We appreciate you and your beautiful wife. The kitchen looks fantastic ❤❤

In reality, the actual cost of renovations is $5000 + the provided flooring, appliances and sink which is approximately $5000. The total cost is actually $10000 for the renovation

Hey Mike, I'm interested to know how much the total cost would have been if you had to pay for the appliances, sink and floors, you really should include both prices, just for reference for those of us that don't have the luxury of being gifted those items during a remodel. However, for spits and giggles based on the magic of the googles here's what I found: Hisense K2 Kitchen Appliance Package cost: $3000 - $4000 (Lowes) Actually not bad IMO Lefton 304 Sink cost: $650.00 (Amazon) Not bad either, I immediately assumed it would have been well over a thousand dollars...even though $650 for a kitchen sink is still kinda pricey. LVP Flooring approx cost: $3.00 - $5.00 per Sq/Ft (Direct from manufacturer, but do your own research) So not counting the flooring we're at about $9150.00 in approximate total cost. You're welcome.

You are fortunate to have such an awesome Dad.

as someone who will likely be a life-long renter, i can appreciate that you didn't cut corners during the reno/repairs. i've experienced so many dodgy "repairs" in my 20 years of renting, so it's nice to see someone who does it right and not only cares about their property, but also their renters. I think the only think I would have done differently is matching the metal in the light fixture to the kitchen faucet; either both brass finish of the light fixture, or both that brushed metal finish of the faucet. that's just a personal aesthetic thing though. great work!

Shoutout Gary! So many clutch tips here, cant get over the orange peel hack with the brush! Absolutely nailed this kitchen

I think the only thing missing is running a water line to the refrigerator to get the icemaker and water dispenser to work.

The sink is cool AF. I would add matte black hardware to the cabinets to really give them an upscale and modern appearance.

Cabinets to the ceiling and a built box around the fridge! Drawers instead of lower cabinets

Under cabinet lighting really helps illuminate your counters and adds some terrific mood lighting in the kitchen.

Aren't you supposed to use heat resistant foil tape on the oven venting joints? Maybe my dad taught me wrong.

My mom helps me with my home renovation. Supportive parents are amazing.

What I love about your vlogs, I don’t have to go to four different parts all in one 🎉🎉 Family support is top notch!!

It’s wonderful your Dad could help you. A great father. Don’t forget Father’s Day is in June

Gary you are the best dad ever 😊
