I live in an 1916 2 story farmhouse with a wrap around porch. We live way out in the country. Have been working on the place since we bought it 27 years ago. Still not done. There's always stuff to do. Ours was in pretty rough shape when we bought it. All the other women that looked at it went away screaming! Like my neighbor told me when we first moved here.....it takes a certain type of women to live out here in the country. I must be that type. Since I still love it after 27 years. Even with run ins with wild animals, dealing with our water system...a spring 1/4 th mile from the house, and keeping it running. Living in it unfinished all this time. Etc. Just remember to enjoy what you have finished, not just focusing on what you still have to do. It will get done when it gets done.

Hope you and your family are well. Writing this in April 2020 with Covid-19 hitting the US and the whole world. Thank you for saving your grandfathers house. I love all woodworking & the beams in the ceiling. They don't build like that any more. The walls inside maybe plaster, you are going to get an education tearing those out. The furniture is amazing, I don't think your grandfather was a hoarder as much as he did not want to bother anyone to help him and it was not easy, for him, to ask for help. Please do NOT cut down your Pine Tree. Or at least you plant some very fast growing trees to replace them before cutting them down. Right now the big pine tree is keeping your house cooler in the summer, protecting your house from wind, rain and snow. I live in the mountains of North Carolina, my neighbor had this Hugh pine tree and ants decided to build a nest in it. Those allegheny mound ants brought the tree down. Since then the wind really comes blowing thru and lost shade on my tiny house. Without knowing those big pine trees do a great deal protecting you house. I give you so much credit, you are upbeat, hard working young man. Best of luck to you and your family, looking forward to watching more of your videos.

That house is awesome you could never buy a house made like that today that old siding you can make a picture frame an put your grand parents picture in it it would look awesome. Carl

Cole, tell your daddy MY daddy always used to say “if you’re going to be dumb, you better be TUFF!!” I’m referring to him standing on the forks of the forklift and pulling the old siding off. Lol!! It looks AMAZING with the new siding and I love the white trim and the gray siding. Very crisp! When you tear off the front porch, and start planning a new one, think about a wrap-around porch. It would add so much more room for sitting and entertaining and for your kids, if you decide to have any, to play outside, but close to mom’s watchful eye. And I’ve just always loved them! With old rockers and hanging ferns, and big glasses of lemonade! I think it would look awesome! And when you build your new garage/farm office, move it off to the side, so it’s not right in front of the house. And maybe just build a breezeway connecting the two. It would offer protection from rain and snow, but wouldn’t be so expensive to build. Just some suggestions to think about!! You’ve already come a long way. Thank goodness you have such a killer work ethic! Take care! Can’t wait for the next video!

I was sad when you took out the second floor door too!!! I understand the draft thing, but would love a second floor door and porch. Now, with the front porch coming off to be rebuilt, will you keep the base that the pillars are currently sitting on?? Will you keep the detail on and around that front porch when you build a new one?? As far as the attic space (3rd floor bird house), will you be keeping the detail of each window area?? I surely hope you do!!! The character that is in your home is truly AMAZING!!! The talent the builder of your home had is just not prevalent as it once was. It is very much a dying art form. I'm happy you were able to have your Grandpa's house. It must have some sentimental value for you.
