Old House Adam

“How I buy historic homes off the city’s demolition list and turn them into gems: 1. Find the Demo List – Call your local code enforcement or planning department. 2. Do a Walkthrough – Get permission to tour the property and assess condition. 3. Make Your Pitch – Offer to save the home and present your renovation plan. 4. Negotiate Terms – Many cities will sell for $1 or forgive liens if you restore it. 5. Pull Permits & Get to Work – You usually have a deadline to finish. These houses are at risk — but with a vision and a plan, you can save history and build equity at the same time. @benkoman

Watch as we bring this old cast iron utility sink back to life! What started as a rust-covered relic from a forgotten corner of the workshop has been transformed into a stunning, fully refinished centerpiece. We stripped years of grime, repaired the enamel, and gave the base a bold, fresh coat of deep green. The results speak for themselves. This kind of restoration is what we live for — saving old pieces with good bones and giving them a new life with modern durability. Whether you’re rehabbing a vintage kitchen or just love old house magic, this is one transformation you don’t want to miss. 🔧 Steps shown in the video: • Full degrease & rust removal • Surface prep & sanding • Enamel refinishing and curing • Custom base repaint in heritage green • Final polish & ready for install Follow for more restorations like this — Old House Adam style. #SinkRestoration #OldHouseRevival #BeforeAndAfter #VintageVibes #CastIronSink #RestorationProject #OldHouseLove
