Exciting collaboration alert! This playlist documents our joint project renovating Cam Anderson's new farm property on Blacktail Ranch—the home base for his adventures beyond the workshop. Cam (the woodworking wizard behind Blacktail Studio, with millions of fans loving his epoxy tables, live-edge builds, and creative furniture tutorials) is stepping into brand-new territory: his first-ever full home renovation and remodel. From the charming (but dated) farmhouse with its "lead paint chic" vibes to tackling structural updates, layout changes, and modern upgrades, we're transforming this 17-acre property into a functional, beautiful living space. I'm Eric G from Around the House, bringing my remodeling, construction, and design expertise to guide the process—planning layouts, solving real-world renovation challenges, handling the practical home improvement side, and making sure the build is smart, efficient, and homeowner-friendly. Expect step-by-step progress, honest discussions on budgets/timelines/hiccups, tool tips, design decisions, and the fun dynamic of blending Cam's woodworking flair with pro remodeling know-how. Whether you're a Blacktail Studio fan curious about Cam's new chapter, a DIYer tackling your own home reno, or just love watching big transformations, this series is for you! https://www.youtube.com/@aroundthehouseEricG/playlists

Speaker C:80 year old true dimensional timber.
Speaker C:You're like, ah, no.
Speaker C:Good luck, kid.
Speaker C:And yeah, they're frustrated.
Speaker C:They quit caring about structural issues.
Speaker C:They're like, I don't care where the hole is.
Speaker D:Yeah, they're just trying, they're just trying to brew through it, right?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker E:And that's the thing, you know, and you think about how many days of that and cleanup and everything else and, and man, with, with H vac systems getting so much more complex because it's not just putting in the, the gas fired, you know, heat in there.

Speaker E:They don't heat water to the bathroom.
Speaker E:They have an instant water heater that goes in line to the shower head that they run a 20amp electrical circuit over to and the wires are exposed, including the connectors.
Speaker E:And you just stay in the shower and the hot water comes out of there and it makes it right at the shower head and it looks like some kind of Jack Kevorkian shower system.
Speaker E:It's not good.
Speaker D:People don't get electrocuted.
Speaker D:I mean, I hope to God no, but like that doesn't seem okay.
