Oddball youtube / rehab tax deduction question

[Daniel Murphy]

I've had this question in my head for a while and figured I'd finally ask it.  

Let's say you created a youtube channel for the purpose of creating a following & eventually making a profit. A DIY maker type channel. 

Could you do a renovation on your home, create a video & then deduct the rehab costs? 
Assuming of course that you continued to make videos in an attempt to build a profitable channel...
