This project was the biggest DIY I’ve taken on in my life… I Thought it’d take 8 months and it took 3 times that long!!! I’m excited to put this video out though, I love watching big renovations like this so I hope no-one’s mad that I’ve also got individual videos on a lot of these steps. I’ll leave a link to the Mike’s First Flip playlist so you can see the whole process in-depth.

I got burnt out during this project… I know some of you all did too. I can’t wait to start Modern Builds season 3 with more variety!!! Thanks for the support always!!!

MODERN BUILDS

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I’m a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I’ve focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
