I lived in the upstairs apartment of a building, right beside the railroad tracks, almost identical to this. Absolutely loved it. I now have an 1880’S shotgun in New Orleans, a beautiful home, filled with all the antiques I’ve collected all my life. It’s a wonderful lifestyle design, albeit not for all people. Good luck with everything. Happy New Year 🎊
I'm truly sorry about your mom. It would be great to have a coffee bar in memory of her once you start remodeling. Looking forward to seeing what all you find and do!!❤️
Not sure why YT suggested this video but I do enjoy watching old buildings brought back to life. This one looks like a big project with tons of potential. It's going to take a lot of time, patients, resources and especially back breaking effort. I don't know much about Ms Emma but I am excited to watch the progress and wish her the best of luck. If this makes its way to the end she will have so much to be proud of as this wont be easy. Im pulling for you kid
I lost my wife of 43 years in September of '23. I know too well the loss of the whole structure of your life. There is a huge hole in your existence that eventually appears smaller as if backing away from a window. Do not deny yourself grief, but find ways to focus that energy into something creative. Like restoring and old store. Cheers Terry
My husband and I used to do this, and we loved it. He is 83 now but he will still disappear to one of his sheds and come in with something interesting. I’m 80 and would love to be able to do this again. So I will just watch you
I'm so sorry about your loss. Losing a mom hits a daughter hard. I was 49 and 1 day old when I lost my Mom. I had grown children and I still cry and want my Mom when I'm sick, very happy or at a loss of what to do. I'll be 61 in a couple of weeks and I still want to call her. I've said it's a new normal that you get when you lose a parent but honestly it just sucks.
Always clear a path so you do not have any tripping hazards. Also open doors, windows so you are not working in the dark. Makes for a better vlog too!😊
Also when you're kicking up that 80 yr old dust there can be anything from asbestos to rodent droppings that you don't want to inhale. Having fresh air coming in will help clear it out. I usually wear a respirator at least until it's pretty swept out.
Hi Emma, a hint regarding shovels…a shovel with a pointy end is used for digging holes down into the ground. A shovel with a flat end (like you used to dig into dump pile in back) is called a transfer shovel and is generally used to move a pile of rocks or dirt. The flat end scrapes flat along the ground to get under whatever you are moving. So, I think a pointy shovel might be better to use in that area. Congratulations on finding that bottle! This looks like a fun project!
@@MaryEastBay I try to explain to my wife the difference between a pointy shovel (round nose) and a square nose shovel and she usually gets mad at me , throws the shovel down, stalks away telling me to 'do it yourself then!' I need to learn how to reason with her, and here I am 70 ! Take care
@@EmptyHandshake LOL! Did you use the phrase “pointy end?” Upon reflection, that phrase might mistakenly seem condescending but I just don’t know how else to describe it!
@@MaryEastBay I have always known it as a round nose, or round point shovel. And that is what I have always called it. Now I just might start using that terminology to my wife! Pointy. Point taken!
Bless you I'm sure that your MUM is looking down at her baby girl with pride and love sending you her ideas 💡 to inspire you along your way. It's tough 😪 as I lost my Mum not to long ago 😢😢. Keep up the great work and I believe that you will see her approval in the finished presentation. Love always from me in the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️.
I’m loving the “can do” woman” vibe you are sharing. It’s a great model for us all to support in the women in our lives. Hardware is useless without software 😊
This was randomly suggested and I'm so glad it was. I LOVE old small town America buildings and stores. I remember watching a documentary years ago about a town in rural Mississipi where the brought a whole street to life and preserved the look and character but still modernised it all. What an amazing place 6ou have and I cannot wait to see it progress. You are very appealing and love your can-do attitude. So sorry for the loss of your mum but she will always be there with you and watching proudly what you are doing.
Just a thought for you, in many communities there are people that are happy to lend a helping hand if you ask…. try asking around to see if anyone has a small tractor or excavator that could do some clearing for you around the back yard and out building. It would go quickly and give you better access to those areas. It’s absolutely worth a couple hundred dollars. Those abandoned properties are so quickly taken over by nature it’s crazy 😣
One thing I learned about old building renovations is never throw out anything structural at all, glass, wood, metal any of it till you’re done you just don’t know what use it might be or what can be made out of it including old furniture framing
This property reminds me of one I read about in our local paper in Oakland. A guy had bought an old 1930s building in the industrial part of town. It was 3 stories with the ground floor being a warehouse which the new owner converted into his garage & workshop. Floors 2 & 3 were living spaces & on the roof he had built a nice garden & patio. It was quite a cool residence and secure too as he had sealed up all the windows and walk in doorway on the ground floor leaving only the big heavy iron rollup door which he would open with a remote to drive in & close it behind him. So cool. !
We have to get you one of those old time bells that hangs over the front door. My Mom used to have one on her Antique Shop door. I was lucky enough to get it when the shop closed and I installed it on my 1879 building when I bought it. It still hangs there today.
I’m sorry for your loss. Lost my dad in 23. Sent me sideways for awhile, but I’m getting better. Seems like you are on the right path. I like the coffee bar idea the other person had. Your mom is always with you.
Congratulations on your new building! I owned a couple old brick ones in Pennsylvania. Some advice is to focus on the roof first and roof edging to protect the brick work, great voice.😊
Im sorry to hear about your Mother. It's always sad and Hard to loose the ones we love.. 💔 Im glad that you oner here memory! You have a very nice singing voice! Keep up the good work with your lovely house!! ❤🇸🇪
We went through an old store and found dollar bills stuck in their old counter checks. If you don't know what those are back in the day, you could go in the store and write your account # on the check and use the stores counter check if you were short of cash. They kept them sitting on the counter, and usually, it was the only bank in town.
I am happy to have come across your channel. Renovations of old buildings is one of my favorite shows to watch. I love that your dad helps you, you are fortunate to have him. Looking forward to your finished stairs so we can all see what’s on the second floor. I am a new subscriber!
My condolences. I am also just drinking a coffee, and I say "cheers" to ur mom. And to my grandma, who passed several years ago and also loved her coffee 😊
Bless your heart !! I have been doing the same thing: clearing debris;metal garbage; garbage (etc) off this 4 acres !!! Hard, tedious and yet satisfying ! Keep going !!!
Great progress. That bolt on the top of the door is for back up security, I would like to suggest replacing it with a longer steel rod that is easier for you to reach and use, maintaining the level of security while improving the functionality. Have fun
That's a beutiful old brick store, its nice that there's living space above, that could be fixed up so you could live where you work. Sorry about the passing of your mother, my dad passed away during the pandemic so I feel your pain of loosing a parent. ❤
the YT algorithm knows exactly sometimes what to put in front of me, i love those old buildings and always wanted to buy the ones in my hometown that were left to rot. thank you for sharing this experience, cant wait to see how it goes.
You are amazing and so thoughtful to remember your mom, especially when many tend to forget their parents. Your mom is beautiful, and she has brought up an incredible daughter-kind, compassionate, and someone who will undoubtedly make a positive difference in the world. All the best to you and your family in 2025. Probably it was a raccoon upstairs.
Many condolences on you Mums passing. I’m sure she is with you encouraging you on. Have you considered keeping some of the treasures to display in your home? It would pay homage to the building and would also be a great conversation starter for guests that come to your home. 😊
FIRST clear the trees and brush out of the way--THEN put up a fence. Stuff will be out of the way by then. Get a chain saw and even a backhoe and clear off the back lot completely----Then put up the fence. it would also help you dig up the mound so you'll know what you are dealing with. Got any guy friends who can work a backhoe if you rent one? But also put the fence up along the property line, not just any random place.
to get that t-post in you should use a t-post pounder, so much easier to pound into the ground. you might be able to find one in the general store you own now.
Thank you for mentioning that! And IF Ms. Emma doesn't know what we are talking about, it is a metal pipe about 2-3" diameter, about 24-36" long with a piece of metal welded onto the end of the pipe and is used to pound T-posts into the ground. So much easier than using a hammer or an even bigger hammer!
You gotta get you one of those pointy shovel 2000’s! Their great. I found your channel through “Tia’s $1 house” flip? Sorta similar project to yours. Keep up the hard work, it’s paying off.
Ya me too. I was even going to suggest that Emma create a project board with check list of small goals to keep organized, like what Tia has. Things like that help so much on a large project.
I’m sure you DID hear phantom footsteps 👻. But I’m here for you & your renovations ‼️‼️‼️♥️♥️♥️♥️. Ps… and I’m truly sorry for losing your mama😭 May her coffee latte will bring you joy every morning☕️♥️
thats a fantastic shop we have been doing retail in scotland for over 60 years love these old shops remember finding loads off money when i was younger emptying a shop of it shelving in the early 80s the shop had been there since the 60s
There are a couple of little towns in the area near where I live that have shops still in use, which have similar shop frontages. I think they are late 19th early 20th century. High ceilings, no insulation freezing in winter but charming.
Do you have a beautiful singer songwriter voice. Those are called T posts. You put them in with a T post driver. Maybe your dad has one. Even a sledge will work better than a tiny hammer. Beautiful old store! Personally, I would keep the old doors and restore them along with the woodstove. In the old bricks that have the manufacturer or location on them can be worth money. I have built frames for pictures, but found the easier way is to go to a thrift store and find a frame. This is my first time watching and I’m looking forward to the Restoration or transformation. It’s going to be beautiful!
I admire you energy. They say Rome was not built in a day but you probably could have with the correct tools. Driving a t-post with a wooden mallet and then with a finishing hammer. The pointy shovel 2000 is a minor setback. A good metal rake is something you should see if your dad has..I know you will work with the tools you have. Not throwing shade at you.
You need a granny cart to load up and make runs to the spots the materials need to go. It's just a little tough four wheel cart. Very handy. Love mine!!
@emmashaye walmart has the Gorilla carts on sale now for $79.00. 400 lbs weight capacity and great tires. I use mine all the time. Save some energy for extra projects! Love your project! Very lucky girl! I'm sure your mom is very proud of you! Can't wait to see all that you are doing to that great place!! All the best to you hon!! Really glad I found your channel! Happy New Year to you! 🤗
I just found your channel. I understand about missing your mama. Both my parents are gone.😢. My daddy been gone.8 yrs yesterday. I love old stuff. And building.
You never stop missing your mom. At least I don't. Go to Tractor Supply, buy a post driver, please. Or maybe your dad has one? You pounding on those posts with that dinky hammer is killing me. I think you can still buy bud in quarts. Is that a wood stove with the ladder leaning against it? If so, it's a cool one that deserves to be cleaned up and used. Keep at it sweetie. Best regards from Indiana.
I think the cream colored "mug" with the blue imprint is a shaving soap mug. My husbands grandfather had on just like that with a shaving soap bush with it. I don't know for sure, but it looks very similar.
What a great old mercantile building was it grocery/bank/assay office or more of a stock and station type operation. I mean originally not whatever it became before it was closed and sold.
The garbage you found outside is a typical burn pit used in the country to discard trash, back before the trucks ran out that far. After you clean out the unwanted you would probably need to a structure inspection to make sure the roof is good, and the building is worth putting money into. Nostalgia is a good thing in everything but real estate, no matter what you do to a commercial property the value is mostly in its location and traffic. So be wise in your choice of use. If you were near me, I could help you now that I am retired but I am sure you have a support channel to lean on. Stick to it you will have fun.

I think she knows that a pointy shovel would work better that’s why she made the comment, she probably didn’t have one handy.

as a kid in 70's those garden chair plans/D.I.Y builds were very popular . where i grew up in sw British Columbia every family was making them ,lol
thats a fantastic shop we have been doing retail in scotland for over 60 years love these old shops remember finding loads off money when i was younger emptying a shop of it shelving in the early 80s the shop had been there since the 60s
That's a wonderful building.

Hi I just subscribed. I love old stores. The store front windows.
Thank you.
Almost died laughing……”that’s not a pointy X-2000”
And the way she said, sarcasticly, "Bob!" So that tells me there is a Bob who watches and criticizes everything she does!
Take care
Do you have a beautiful singer songwriter voice. Those are called T posts. You put them in with a T post driver. Maybe your dad has one. Even a sledge will work better than a tiny hammer. Beautiful old store! Personally, I would keep the old doors and restore them along with the woodstove. In the old bricks that have the manufacturer or location on them can be worth money.

It’s going to be beautiful!
That is an awesome piece of history.
Fencing, yay. Alot of years on the ranch doing that. Use a mini speg or a post driver. You can run the post thru the fence to save time too.
YT's recent recommendations: "Designer's ABANDONED masion with everything inside"
and now THIS! what a treat!
My parrot LOVES your singing! He started making all sorts of cool sounds, including a bit of your song!
I admire you energy. They say Rome was not built in a day but you probably could have with the correct tools. Driving a t-post with a wooden mallet and then with a finishing hammer. The pointy shovel 2000 is a minor setback. A good metal rake is something you should see if your dad has..I know you will work with the tools you have. Not throwing shade at you.
Good to bring the history to new life
You need a granny cart to load up and make runs to the spots the materials need to go. It's just a little tough four wheel cart. Very handy. Love mine!!
I’ve been searching for one!! Hopefully I’ll find one for a good price. It would definitely be useful!
@emmashaye walmart has the Gorilla carts on sale now for $79.00. 400 lbs weight capacity and great tires. I use mine all the time. Save some energy for extra projects! Love your project!

Happy New Year to you! 🤗
That was a quart of beer, eagles could be Budweiser..
It is
I'd say your Dad has a T-post driver. This property looks promising and interesting to see what you do with it. All the best.
Love the video !
Love the ""Texico "" sign, on the back door !
It's worth a pretty penny !
Don't ever part with it !
Keep it !

I lost my Mom not too long ago. I feel your pain. ❤huggzz, I subscribed to you.
Can't wait til the finished task is done
Good score with the old bottle😊
Happy New Years EVERYONE!
The emblem on the glass bottle was Anhauser Busch and screw off caps came about in the early 70s so it's vintage.
The building is the same type and construction as the building in the Oliver Springs Tennessee
The original store fixtures like the wall shelves and counter are valuable.
Love your videos please keep them coming
You never stop missing your mom. At least I don't. Go to Tractor Supply, buy a post driver, please. Or maybe your dad has one? You pounding on those posts with that dinky hammer is killing me. I think you can still buy bud in quarts. Is that a wood stove with the ladder leaning against it? If so, it's a cool one that deserves to be cleaned up and used. Keep at it sweetie.

What a great old mercantile building was it grocery/bank/assay office or more of a stock and station type operation. I mean originally not whatever it became before it was closed and sold.
That was an old Anheuser-Busch bottle probably from the 1970s. Cool find. I think you would be surprised at what might be buried there.

Hello Emma. I ran across your channel and heard you singing. Who are you, girl? You can blow. I love your runs. Take care. Happy New Year!
Bless your heart...moms are indispensable. FYI..you need a spade shovel! Love what you are doing from central Nebraska ❤
The garbage you found outside is a typical burn pit used in the country to discard trash, back before the trucks ran out that far. After you clean out the unwanted you would probably need to a structure inspection to make sure the roof is good, and the building is worth putting money into. Nostalgia is a good thing in everything but real estate, no matter what you do to a commercial property the value is mostly in its location and traffic. So be wise in your choice of use. If you were near me, I could help you now that I am retired but I am sure you have a support channel to lean on. Stick to it you will have fun.
Great work!
This is interesting I hope you see it through 🤞 👍
Absolutely LOVING this series ! Thank you for sharing with us! I have no doubt in time we’ll watch this beauty be brought back to life by you!
The mug I believe is a shaving mug it would hold a round bar of shaving soap and there would be a brush that came with it
