It did look better but all the trees looked dead. While the trees in the distance were still green. Maybe they were diseased.

If you see an old man wrapped in shredded linens, saying "return the slab", promptly return the slab.

Jimmy I don’t think they moved the house, they just dug the basement later on when they added water and sewer and heat they needed space underneath the house to work. They stayed away from the outside of the foundation so they didn’t under mine the original foundation. Being a stone mason and restoring a bunch of old structures I have seen hundreds of houses done that way . Thanks for sharing

It's like the house has defeated every DIY guy in the area and is now taking on the final boss.

Its really too bad that the previous owner cut down all those old trees. Some of them were probably as old as the original house. It's also worth noting that the trees surroundiung a house on a farm style propoerty are there for wind breaks to diminish the effect of high winds during heavy storms and winter months. Now that property is effectively unprotected. @Jimmy, I hope you have an opportunity to plant some new established trees around this house.

Agreed, and the sooner, the better. Trees grow slowly, so give them as much time as you can. This home renovation will drag on for years and years--don't wait until the end to plant the trees.

This is the most I've seen Jimmy talk, even if you added up all the other videos he's ever done! I love it! He's a character.

A lot of people would see endless repairs and dilapidated buildings. Jimmy sees opportunities, shops,and old world charm. Property looks amazing. The views as well

When you buys a house without a foundation you are fairly nuts :) But will make for a great video.

Such a cool property!!

With all that land you should consider doing some flower rows! For our farm we till up a good 3 rows about 20 feet long and plant native wildflowers in them. They help a ton with the local fauna for both bugs and birds! Plus it's really pretty and nice to setup a lawn chair and enjoy the sun amongst a sea of flowers too.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I often say that a renovation is far more challenging than a new construction because as an owner you are divided between te desire to keep what is old and the obligation to keep your building standing. Laura knows something about it from what I’ve seen. I hope that Jimmy will find a nice name for this property and that he will not have any bad surprises (in French we say "falling on a bone" which seems perfectly appropriate in this case).

The little hut off to the side would make a great honey house for an apiary. You could start keeping honey bees on that side of the property. What a beautiful renovation this is going to be I can’t wait to see what you do with it.

The house construction is called double boarding. It's just 2 boards staggered one in front of the other so they didn't use studs for framing.

I loved how your partner took the shotgun parts with a grin! So funny! The property is beautiful and the graveyard is definitely a bonus. I throughly enjoyed your introduction and presentation. Thank you!

Glorious! Definitely plant some trees back! ✌️😘

The old country music worked well with this presentation !!! Almost a nightmare remodel !!!

Talk about going back in time ? Looking forward to the finished product...I know will be an amazing place when you finish it...Before and after will be amazing to 👀 see 👍✌✅

Congrats! I'm sold, can't wait to watch more. That barn would definitely be an awesome maker space.

Jimmy, Our family cabin in Williamsport PA was built in 1853 and the exterior walls are the same as you have there. They are 2" wood slabs stood vertically. The entire building sits on a stacked stone foundation which is still perfectly level. I look forward to this new series.

@@samanthab1923 We still have an outhouse at one of the cabins. We had another that was washed away in 2011 Floods which we did not replace. We used to have christmas light strung down to and inside the outhouse. I use to joke all the time it was the place that looked like christmas all year long, but never smelt like it.

Jimmy, that lower section of the barn would be perfect for a small microbrewery!

"This old house, with Jimmy Diresta" can't wait!

“Jimmy’s Old House” series. Looking forward to it!!

This is the expert DIYer's dream come true. Can't wait for this series..

Looks like a lifetime of projects and content.

I know where me and the boys are gonna ask to go fishing next!!!! Love the look of that house!

They ruined the property by removing ALL the trees.

15:00 That part is open as that is where they would load the hay from outside into the barn loft. At one point it had a door of some kind.

That house is gonna be strong and comfortable when Jimmmy gets done upgrading it. Jimmy I hope you get good luck for freeing the bird. I know that bird will never forget about you.😊

You're definetly the right man for the job! The basement barn shop certainly has pottery shop vibes.

That view on a patio in the shade... I'd never leave

Ca va nous promettre une série de belles vidéos !! Merci Jimmy !!

This would be an awesome KZread series. We would get to see more of your skills and craftmanship, and see the restoration of the place. I hope you do decide to do that.

It was like watching this old house. Waiting for the guys to show up and jump in and help you

"I bought a Graveyard" Very on brand. The house and barn are just a bonus. 😂

My mother returned from a european vacation in the early 70's with a raft of brass gravestone rubbings. I'm pretty sure this practice has been stopped due to the amount of wear a steady stream of tourist would cause on gravestones, but in the case of your graveyard it might be something to consider to bring the beauty and historic significance to light. Potentially stunning wall art.

Looks like a massive undertaking, or is it a grave error ;)

Spray all those tombstones with D2. It is amazing stuff. Not harmful for the stones and makes them like new! If I owned the property, I would probably clean up the old cemetery first and leave the house go. I love old cemeteries.

I could see and would watch an entire season of TOH. Hope Kevin is watching!

Betcha this is just as big a project as 'Acorn to Arabella' ! I'm in for this Series , 4 Sure !!!

DOH - Diresta’s Old House Can’t wait to see the end result and will watch it the whole way through!

Man there is a ton of content on that property! Can't wait!

It's beautiful. Especially the barn and house... Even the "Hut" is pretty. So much potential

Probably the most talented makers on KZread now has a restoration project! Couldn't be happier!

Did anyone notice the aerial view from the opening shot of the graveyard, it’s in the shape of a boat? There are so many things that will definitely make more content for your channel but you are not getting younger Jimmy. We do expect to see more epoxy projects from those mummies.

Who DOESN’T want a house with a free graveyard? Those old stone grave markers are awesome. Congrats on such a great acquisition!

This was an awesome video. Love having you walk us through live. Very excited to see this content!

No not at all. Thank YOU for showing us round. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Make no bones about it ,I’m really looking forward to seeing this series 😁

Different content direction with you the central character. I dig it man.

Good thing you’re a tinkerer, plenty to keep you busy there!

I can see so many possibilities for this property, endless ideas,you go Jimmy and thanks for bringing us along🤗😎🤗😎

Good luck with your new adventures here. I remember that cellar in New York , smaller than your outhouse, where you began your you tube channel. Now you can have so much opportunities for the future projects. Love from Scotland 😁

This is going to be a fun ride. Your so lucky to live where old homes like this are plenty. Not in southeast Alabama. Mentally here is Tera down and build new

This place looks amazing! I can’t wait to see what you make of it all!!!

I grew up a half mile from this place on Susquehanna turnpike just across from Mansard Ave where Teator Rd leads to. As kids we use to ride bikes over by there to go swimming at Browns hole. Myself and all of my friends were always so interested in the graveyard but we never went into it. I remember last year watching the previous owner clearing trees and burning brush almost every day on my way to a few jobs I had in Preston Hollow.

I cant wait for this series. I love old houses from that time period. Cant wait to see what Jimmy does with it.
