Nope. 1-8 foot 2X6. 3-10 Foot 1X6, 4 18 inch 3/8 plywood squares. Every cut is at 5 degrees both bevel and angle. 52 years as a carpenter and taught by master carpenters.
C'mon man, slow down with the camera. Way too fast, dizzying and nauseating quick movements. Would have made the video much more enjoyable. From what I could see, the house is absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to see it after the restoration. Nice find!
Thank you for the advice! We’ll make note of it. Thank you for watching
Annunciator box
Thank you for watching!
The porch is Awesome guys!
Thank you so much! We’re already in love with it!
Your porch looks amazing!!!!
Thank you so much! It’s really starting to look like something great!
The restoration is looking good at the Samual Nelson house!
Thank you so much!!! What’s left of the landscaping is looking beautiful as well!
That rhubarb by the deck was some special kind of award winning rhubarb. We always had people looking and asking about it. Though there is tons of rhubarb in the area, this was a special kind. The hill by the alley will produce gourds and pumpkins come fall. I miss my raspberries. I would pick them at least twice a day.
We haven't seen any raspberries come up yet. I got one stalk of rhubarb, it was quite large. We're excited to see what else appears these next couple seasons.
Where is this house located?
Southeast Minnesota
@@SilkStockingAve Lanesboro?
Yes
Gorgeous house!
Thank you! It really is! We are so lucky!
Great job! We've subscribed to your channel, and are looking forward to following your progress on this beautiful house. Minnesota is so beautiful
Awesome! Thank you!
Great stuff!! :) I love these two people
Thanks friend, we love you too!!! ❤️
Hello - I sent you an email and a bunch of pictures from when we had the house. As mentioned, by Robb and in the email, happy to chat about the house, and fill you in on what we did and know about it. Best wishes!
Thank you so much! We’re looking over the email right now and cannot express enough how grateful we are you reached out! We will be in touch!
@@SilkStockingAve Happy the house is in good hands - hopefully I used the correct email address!
Once upon a time we had mice. We caught most of them, but one remaining source persisted. We could NOT find the body source. Days later, my husband happened to move a big stock pot we rarely used, and lo and behold, we found a big fat dead mouse behind it. Gah... Cleaned that cupboard within an inch of its life, and the stench was all gone. I was beyond relieved. Who knew one mouse could smell so bad! I can't imagine how bad multiple larger animals would smell. I have my grandmothers ancient jar opener. Works a charm still.
It was HORRENDOUS! we just couldn’t handle the smell anymore. Thank You so much for watching and thank you for sharing your story!
Oh it's such an awful smell! I hope you haven't had any mice since. We found dead squirrels in the garage soffit at our old house about 2 weeks after we finished with this mudroom. It's horrible!! Why universe, whyyyy?! 😅 Anyway, thanks for watching our journey and sharing your story!
We have many true stories about this house from our ownership. Light fixtures we added along with much of the hardware.
This is incredible! We have so many questions! We’ve been looking for any pictures or stories of the homes past!
@@SilkStockingAve Scott emailed you pictures and more today
Good work you two!! I learned a few things watching your video
Thanks for watching!
The window at the main staircase would have had stained glass
That window never had stained glass - it had a beveled edge.
@scottgordon7697 Interesting. Usually, they have stained glass.
@@bellebslife6504 We are former owners of the house - I thought the same. We were discussing that window with another former owner...and she filled us in. Originally, that window had hinges on it so it tilted outward... apparently, so larger furniture items could be hoisted up and onto the 2nd floor without the need to go up the inside staircase. Or so the rumor stated. Its actually a fairly thick piece of beveled glass. I think a stained glass window would have been nicer..but..I suppose the clear glass did allow a lot more light to go in.
I. Love Gloria a Dios te Bendiga, Amén 💋❤
Gracias!
The box on the wall at 6:40 in your video is an annunciator. there would be a buzzer (the ting that looks like a door bell) through out the families rooms in the house...if a servant was wanted a family member would press the button and the servant would know what room in the house that were needed in. Very cool that you still have it in your house...Good luck w/ your project!
Thank you! The only 'doorbell' connected to the annunciator that we've been able to find is in the "family chambers" (our master bedroom). We would like to put a light in there to act as a nightlight in the hallway, if we aren't able to restore it. Thank you for watching!
The house would have had a call system originally...but the one there now is not original. I put it up when I owned the house. I also had one in the kitchen.
Gorgeous.
Thank you! 😊 We are so excited to bring her back to life!
Thanks for sharing your journey on this home restoration. Very well done video.
Thanks for watching!
Nice demo. Coffered ceiling would look cool, but get that electric delt with first lol
We have gotten the electrician out to fix the mess! We have decided on a beadboard coffered ceiling. That will be another fun project in the coming months. Thanks for watching!
Things aren't expensive. Your dollar isn't worth anything anymore.
You dont know what your doing. Crap job
America is ranked the number one economy in the world by GDP as of feb 2024 so I don’t know where you’re getting your info.
Don't be naive. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Consumer debt is higher than ever and people are running out of options
@@brad3378 not unlike 85% of working people around the world. Blame the corporate world for price gauging everyone. Don’t be naive in thinking that American is unique and in fact is in better shape than a lot of the world economies.
You just don’t understand
There is potential here but only as much as can be for a current circumstance.
@@thetruthalways7136 as is the case everywhere all the time.
Plywood installed up side down. The writing on OSB will read this side down somewhere..😂 yep I'm that guy. 👎
Be that guy! Then maybe we wouldn't be so disappointed when we hire a professional. I celebrate that guy!
Very true!😅😊
I thought we learned not to use wallpaper after what happened to Napoleon lol
Beautiful house! I love the wood work both stained and painted white! 😁 Enjoy the remodel!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love this, but can I ask you move slower with the camera.
Turn down the speed on the playback. 😊
And zero finish photos thanks
Thanks for the feedback! Hasn’t been sanded and stained yet. Coming soon in part 2.
That wood doesn’t look indistinguishable I can see it very clearly
Thank you for the feedback! Hasn’t been sanded and stained yet.
