When you’re finished, this house will again be the prettiest house in Urbana. Richard you are a gifted talent.

Michael, how lucky are you to have found Richard. He is so talented, and is crazy about you! I can’t wait to see how his work continues!!

Richard is just a refreshing wealth of knowledge and an artist in his own right. Bravo 🤌🤺

I am so impressed…what a gorgeous home this will be. Can’t wait to see the progress! Richard you are amazing!

Richard is incredibly talented. The house looks stunning. It will be beautiful when finished.

O MG ,Richard it's beautiful,what talent.My husband is a finish carpenter. Bravo to you, a man of many talents.

Wow! I am so impressed with Richard! He is truly a master craftsman! It will be such fun to see his progress, and I just can't imagine that the finished product will be any less than gorgeous!!!

My new goal is to find me a Richard!!! The craftsmanship is absolutely beautiful

Absolutely stunning! Richard is so talented! The coupola and coffered ceiling are amazing. What a beautiful and special home. Wishing you all much happiness ❤

That staircase, is everything!❤ Beautiful, classic, and well done😊, Richard has good taste😊

I am so excited to watch the progression of the restoration. I love Richard's choices. I'll live vicariously through the remodel.❤❤❤❤

WOW! WOW! LOVE ❤❤❤❤ Can't wait to see it finished! Richard, you are doing a FABULOUS JOB! ❤❤❤❤

I gasped when I saw the Cupola. Every detail! Is Amazing! Two water closets in the master bathroom-hello. Richard is truly an artist. Thanks for the showing.

WOW, absolutely beautiful, this will be a one of a kind very special home when Richard is done. Richard you are so talented, restoration is a lost talent. I can't wait to see the progress. AMAZING!!!! Yes, Richard hanging wallpaper is a pain!

Richard is doing a fabulous job!! Can't wait to see it finished! What I wouldn't give to have laundry in the master closet!! Such fascinating history of the house.

I am so excited for you guys! I lived in a 1926 Dutch Colonial in NY that was way too big for us. My son got a job in NC and we have moved into a 1911 Vic. It was completely redone inside - but very contemporary. I am an Interior Architect/designer just starting to turn it into something with my own touches. You and Richard and his parents are going to live a wonderful life there.

You did an amazing job, Richard. I'm sure it's a wonderful house when it's finished. The garden is beautiful too. ❣️🏠

What a miracle worker, Richard! I’m so excited to see the progress! A library…sigh….

Richard has such insight & inspiration & a passion for these homes. Just love seeing this restoration in progress. Thank you so much for sharing.

The light through out is wonderful. Richard has a keen eye for detail , it’s looking beautiful.

Cannot wait to see the home you have done when finished. Lots of hard work and care went into this home. So beautiful so far.

I don't know how Richard does it! Amazing!

Local girl here.... From Springfield Ohio. Now live just north of cincy ! He could have his own series on this. Thank you for showing us.

Richard, everything is so meticulously done! SO EXCITING to see the similarities between our 1850s LR and your 1850s LR! We have a coffered ceiling too. Saving these to help us as we reset our place too! ❤

Richard you are doing an amazing job. Such beautiful work. Thank you Michael for sharing. ❤

Wow! Such craftsmanship, Richard! This house is gonna be the prettiest house in all Urbana! Loved the tour 🥰 I cannot wait to see the progress.

I'm looking forward to the next update! Richard is so talented and knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing.

Richard, you are so talented, both with vision and with your restoration skills. I can't wait to see your finished home.

I'm just blown away with how beautiful your work and talent is. The house is amazing! Post another vid of progress. I ❤ love it!!

I love your house & renovation. Your partner is a VERY SKILLED & TALENTED restorer. Lucky you!

Richard, the floors are amazing... love the floors. I agree with Michael that that curved wall into the window is fantastic. Can't wait to see it all done

Thank you for showing us!! Richard's parents are pretty lucky :))

Richard you are absolutely amazing!!! The way that you can see what was there and how to bring it forward is a true gift!!!!❤❤❤❤😂

Love it, it's going to be beautiful. I'm glad there are people who restore the old buildings.

Wow Im just seeing this today. LOVE the house! Love the deep window sills, rolled walls, front door and doorbell, floors,ceiling, fireplace and Richard’s amazing talent!!!!

Wow! This house is going to be epic! Richard is very skilled & talented 🌞

Absolutely wonderful repairing and rebuilding of the old home. Richard is very skilled in salvaging and restoring the place into the same time period. Great updating and I love the layout of both areas. Can't wait to see the finished home. Your backyard is a wonderful area and will be so serene and calming. I bet it will be one of your favorite places to hang out. I like the idea of the reading area and the library. I am so excited to see the progression from what it was to what you will make it into. Thanks for sharing with us. ✌🕯💗

What a labor of love Richard! ❤❤❤ Love seeing the progress.

This home is looking beautiful already. It is going to be stunning. So perfect. I love it already. Richard you are doing an amazing job. I am so excited seeing the progress. Thanks Michael and Richard for giving us a tour. I really appreciate it. Take Care.

Watching from Canada RICHARD you have out done yourself.I LOVE the scroll work on the side of the staircase.nice accent.hats off to you Mr.

😂😂😂 The part where you didn’t want to find anybody at the bottom of the basement stairs and that’s where you keep your guns made me laugh out loud!!😂😂😂 But, seriously, thank you for saving this beautiful home. Too many people in my area are so quick to knock these gems down. I bought myself an old farmhouse and renovating it, too.

Richard is very talented! It's beautiful, attention to detail is chefs 💋 🎉

I enjoyed the before & after tour of the remodel. Richard is so talented and has an eye for design. It is going to be beautiful. I love all the history! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

Im a longtime “silent subscriber”. I even remember the tooth 😊. This is such a wonderful house and you get to live there! P.S. I’m in love with Richard. He’s so adorable.

Oh my gosh!!! Just all the work on that beautiful staircase alone!!! And that beautiful front door!! Beautiful wood floors!! Richard, you are a gifted restorer!!! Can't wait to see the finished house!! 💚 💛 💚

The beautiful stairway & railing are breathtaking, the stars of the entranceway.

Richard you are so talented, Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!😊❤

WOW!!!!! This will be absolutely glorious when you’re finished. Richard, you’re extremely talented! My husband renovated our 1842 home, it was an old out building from the main house. We LOVE it!

What a beautful backyard. ❤ The house is going to be fabulous. ❤

Amazing house and great job Richard. Loved the Juliet Balcony.

What a fantastic job Richard. Love the old wood.

Absolutely stunning work. I love listening to Richard describe his work on the property, as well as the history of the house. Very interesting!

Loved the tour, it's going to be wonderful!

This was a fun change of pace video! Balancing the old and new in an older house is a craft in itself and it is just fantastic what has been done so far. Thank you for sharing the progress and that stairwell view from the second floor! Swoon worthy.

What a beautiful tour of your home Michael and Richard! From the first time you took us on tour Michael & Richard up until I watched this new video, I couldn't believe the work and restoration that Richard has completed thus far, Wow! It's a painstakingly, and very hard work to do, yet at the same time to watch your own accomplishments of craftsmanship that you complete is extraordinary self satisfyingly gorgeous! I also agree with Richards mother and you Michael on the wallpaper going up the stairs, but you could at least put it on the right side of the entryway. Myself, I probably would do both sides in a "Victorian Rose Bouquet" in a lighter color pattern from that time period to bring out your wood tones for that "Grand Entrance" in such a marvelous 1886 home! I know it is hard work doing the "Grand Staircase" with wallpaper Richard, but what a statement piece it would make, and of course its just an opinion, and as we know everyone has one, lmao! Can't wait to see more video Michael, and you do it justice with your steady hand! What a team you two make together~

Thank you for sharing the progress for us. I love seeing old homes!

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for saving this home.

Omg absolutely gorgeous work Richard I ❤️ your attention to detail when it comes to the time period. I definitely am sure that your parents will feel right at home 💕 …can’t wait to see the finished home 😊

Thank you! I love this part of the process where everything comes together and the decorating begins!

Hi Michael- I love what Richard is doing with the house. I owned a Victorian Row House in Pittsburgh that was built in 1890. So much potential to those old Victorians especially if one has an eye for what it needs. Thank you for showing us!

Amazing. Richard what a craftsmen you are. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this👍

Richard is a master carpenter and thank God he saved this astounding house from demolition. And is putting it back together as original as possible. I just love people who respect old craftsmanship and preserve it. Makes my heart happy. He is a book of knowledge as he walks around talking about his plants and stonework is there anything ge cant do? Fantastic

Wow. Just wow. Gorgeous work.

Well that was cool...ty guys ❤

27:50 The 1990s was the last decade of good design. Those times are long gone and will never return. From forward on there is only reminiscing and trying to recreate the past which goes way beyond nostalgia.

Beautiful. ❤

Good evening I just got done watching your video. What a beautiful house and that entrance with the bubble glass doorway is breathtaking and have a great summer and a good pop-up🎉🎉😮😮😮😊😊

Love it’s sto ~ it’s going to be beautiful !

Bless you Richard for saving this beautiful lovely home from demolition. Congratulations for all your work bringing her back to life and I love your thinking process into her functionality. I agree 💯 with Michael and your mum to paint a huge floral pattern on the stairwell wall. I also can not wait to see what you do in that little landing area at the top of the stairs 🤗 With all the love and care you've put into your forever home and the many wonderful memories to come I'm thinking she should have a name 🙏 ....just saying. Nga Mihi Michael until next time.
