Today I have spent 3 hours removing old paint form a pretty long windowsill. I used an iron, a piece of paper and a scraper. Having cleaned the last portion I got dead tired, this job made me completely emotionally exhausted. I congratulate you on buying a house to restore. I envy and admire your enthusiasm. Really :)
Mike and Jeannie... Just seeing those smiles warms the heart! Deep sighs of relief all round. Enjoyed the fresh tour. Glad to see the original windows are still intact and nobody got at them with the vinyl, thank goodness! It's a beautiful house even before any work being done. I'm sure it will be a real pleasure to get moved in, relax a little bit finally, and to start deciding what to do first. Congratulations again, and we're very much looking forward to following you on your adventure. Marian 🇨🇦
Your house is a true treasure!! She’s in such great shape for her age! I can’t wait to see what you guys do to get her up to today’s standards and keep her original charm 😎
I just had to pop back in and say how amazing it is to see the rooms without the furniture, what a difference! Also, I really enjoyed your tours of historic places and spaces, I wouldn’t mind at all of those types of videos continued in the future too!
That stove in the kitchen is a 1960’s appliance. My mother had one just like it. Your house reminds me of my grandmother’s house, which had 12 ft. ceilings, big tall windows, central hallway, a porch that at some point was enclosed, tiny kitchen and multiple fireplaces. Those fireplaces had inserts to accommodate oil heaters. The living room fireplace had a coal grate. The bedrooms had wardrobes for clothes. There was a deep front porch across the house where lots of visiting went on in the nicer weather months. That house was built probably about 1915.
Yipee so exciting! Thank you Mike and Jeannie for taking us along on this extraordinary journey. Lots to do lots to learn. Congratulations you are well on your way.
Congratulations you have been so patient which reminds me of my favourite saying good things come to those who wait.Lookinf foward to seeing more videos love from Australia
I love these home’s kitchens with their butlers pantries…. I would try to reno the kitchen as close to period as possible. I know there are appliances made to look old, but work like modern appliances, and use the pantry for storage. All you really need in the actual kitchen is what is used daily. Looking forward to seeing how you get her all fixed and looking better. What a gem 🥳💞🥰 Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊
Yes, i would leave the kitchen as it is, but put a little vintage color touch. Kitchen is for cooking, i dont mind having one friend come in the kitchen while im cooking. But seriously if im having guests for a meal, id like to use a warm cozy dining room in the cold and outside when its warm. No-one needs to see the mess i make.
Hallelujah and congratulations! Your "new" house is well worth the wait. Had a couple of thoughts on the kitchen. You could probably get more info on the stove from the gentleman on Cavalcade of Food. He has a huge collection of old stoves and does use them. The other is to watch the thought provoking planning segment for the kitchen on Farmhouse Vernacular and the completed reveal. You'll realize you might have plenty of storage already. Both of these folks are fellow TH-camrs. So glad y'all like unpainted wood. Some think it makes a house dark, but I think it gives it warmth and character. Such a shame to paint over beautiful wood. Oh, yes, one more thing. Surely there's a laundromat in Greenville. No need to wait on installing hookups in order to move in😌. Y'all enjoy yourselves!
Greenville is a long drive from the house. While there is a laundromat in the village, it looks a bit sketchy. We spent all day at the house today filming and planning the installation of the laundry and the video will be coming out soon!
Imagine trying to heat and cool that monster. Tall ceilings, single pane glass, ...whew. Then add all the modern conveniences that plug in somewhere, into iffy, aged wiring... People have no idea. But the house is beautiful, as built.
Congratulations, you got the house! I’ll be watching your progress with interest. I’d love to live in a beautiful old house but at our ages it’s not going to happen. I’ll live vicariously through you two! 👏🏻🥂
Yes, the Master Bedroom is a perfect example of what the rest of the house once looked like. Gives you an idea of what the rest will look like once the paint is removed.
Congratulations from Maryland. Oh what a beautiful blessing to finally get the keys to the house. Very proud that you two were patient and held on through the various stages and drawbacks prior to settlement. I am certain the delays had to be a bit tiring for the both of you, but now you can relax just a little having the title to the house in your names. The excitement for us the viewers will be to see what plans you have in mind based on your style of living and within keeping the period of the home. I had thoughts of you not being able to open the drawer to the china cabinet, the humidity does makes wood swell and may get better once the lower level temps are lower. Best of Luck and I plan to continue to watch.
I am so happy to see this. The most exciting feeling. I am also in the process of closing my 1836 historic home and I cannot wait to start a new life with her.
Oh Mike and Jeannie! I and so happy for you guys! Your (our) house is so beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes!!! I’m so happy that the closing FINALLY went through and you got the keys and can get in and admire all over all the things that you loved about it just as we did!! I can’t wait to see what you decide to do with it! Glad that it turned out that there was a space that will work well for a laundry room. For us the storage in the kitchen would have worked out just fine, ‘cause we’re not into cooking so much as you guys and there’s lots of extra space in the pantry. But again, I’m so thrilled for you and wish you many, many happy years together in that beautiful house! We’ll be enjoying it with you vicariously and so very much appreciate that you’re sharing it with all us TH-camrs! Best, Jan
Glad you finally got everything wrapped up and closed. Almost everything in your house is typical of the time period. All the woodwork and built-ins were readily available from the hardware store and lumber yard of the day. You are lucky to still have most all the original fabric of the house, no horrible remodels over the years. I just restored a Kentucky 1786 two story stone house and moved/added on a 1799 two story log cabin. It only took seven years. Ha!
Congratulations! Your patience paid off and your smiles said it all. This is truly a magnificent house and thankfully has escaped most modern renovations, although I do like the 1950’s style kitchen and I installed something similar in my 1929 terraced house in England. I wish you all the best and am looking forward to seeing your lovely house being restored.
Congratulations. Thanks for sharing this slow and frustrating process with us. So happy you finally closed on your house ! Looking forward to great things to come in the future !
Hurray Hurray!!!!! Finally, so happy for you!!! Looking forward to seeing the house as you work on it. I enjoyed the tours of landmarks that you have done.
I’m sooooo happy and excited for you two. You both have kept smiling throughout the test of time. Congratulations on the new grand adventure. I for one can’t hardly wait for the restoration to begin. Since you have had so many setbacks, maybe you will have smooth sailing throughout the completion of the restoration. You definitely need a break. 👍👍🤞🙏🙏🙏🙋♀️
🎉 Congratulations!!! 🎉 I believe that I am as happy for you two as you are about becoming its new homeowners. Parts of this house reminds me of my parents 1906 Victorian farm house, especially the woodwork in the front entrance. I’m looking forward to witnessing your journey with restoring this home.
So excited for you both Mike and Jeanie! I have no A/C either --1898 house, but if I open a lot of the original wood windows, I get a nice breeze and the house cools down fabulously!
Congratulations, seeing you light and get excited makes me just smile. It is going to be beautiful!! Can’t wait to see the finished product. For all the stripping you might want to look into Coopers Stripper, one of the other Restoration TH-camrs I watch uses it and it gets the paint out of the details without any sanding.
How GREAT!!! I'm so happy that beauty of a house is finally yours! I feel like I won the lottery and the house isn't even mine!! Looking forward to the journey ahead with you two. Best of luck and congratulations!!!!!! Stephen
Congratulations! It's a beautiful old girl! I am so in love with these old houses. It's a treasure! I can't wait to see it done and i'm sure it will be an excellent work!
I am so thrilled for you both. The delays must have been so agonising but you got your beautiful house in the end. Here in the UK we do not have tin panels on the ceiling.

Congratulations Mike and Jeannie. You so deserve this house. It has been waiting a lot time for you to find it!
Congratulations! Looking forward to see what you do with that lovely, old home and perhaps you can throw an historic tour once in a while when you need a break!
i actually dont mind that one bedroom with whit ceiling...it does go with the walls lol. i also like the main bed room as well. that all white room will be fun for you. congrats you finally got it! i cant wait to see what you do with the place.
I absolutely love Victorian homes. I'm so jealous
You were both treated so terribly. So glad it's finally over. We are very happy for you!
All of our team member busted their behinds to make this happen. It was the appraisers that caused all of the delays. Now the fun begins!

Having cleaned the last portion I got dead tired, this job made me completely emotionally exhausted. I congratulate you on buying a house to restore. I envy and admire your enthusiasm. Really :)
One of the other Restoration TH-camrs I watch uses Cooper Stripper. I would suggest you look into that.

It's really amazing at how untouched the house is, yet it was well cared for while it was empty. Thanks for watching!
Wooo! It's happening!
Wonderful news. Looking forward to the Victorian restoration
Oh my goodness!! It finally worked out! I’m so happy for you both
Wishing all the best to both of you there.

Thank you so much!

I was just think about you yesterday!! I’m so happy for you. Can’t wait for the renovations to start.

Okay! We'll try to slip some in from time to time.
Congratulations you two. I know you're excited. I'm excited for you. Looking forward to watching in your restoration journey. Happy 4th 🇺🇲
Thanks so much!
What a lovely home! I am glad it is finally yours!! Now the "fun" begins!!
It certainly has! Holes have been drilled and lumber has been cut.
Congratulations! Your finally in your house ! So happy for guys ! Looking forward to seeing you fix it up and put your stamp on it ! Have a great day!
Definitely enough to keep you busy restoring each room back to their former glory . I look forward to seeing it all come together .
Congrats!! I too live in an historical home and love it!! What a beautiful home! Doing the restoration is part of the best part!!
It really is! Living in it comes a close second.

Hallelujah! Congratulations! Let the good times roll!
Congratulations!!!! I know you must be anxious to get started restoring the home. It will be lovely!
Congratulations on your new home. May you have many years of happiness. It’s a joy watching your videos showing your progress in this journey.

Thank you so much!! We spent the entire 4'th of July weekend doing work there. It was hard work but we got it done.
They probably replaced the flooring due to termites. Nanny used to say if they ever quite holding hands, the house would fall down.
That house is in very good shape to be so old!! Wow!!
Instead of Canada Day you have your very own Home Day. Congratulations!
It is truly a gorgeous Victorian home. Simply gorgeous!
WHOOHOO!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 So Happy for you!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

Wow, thank you!
So glad you are finally in your home. It is beautiful! I love old houses. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
So glad to hear you say “wallpaper”. When we did our “1890 Queen” we wallpapered all of the rooms. It took a lot time finding appropriate paper.
Victorians must have wallpaper, the right kind of wallpaper. Otherwise they look bland.
So very happy for you 🤓
God Bless you both for saving this house. We are looking forward to seeing the progress
Congratulations. It's a beautiful home.
Love that piano playing!!! Congrats!
Congratulations Mike and Jeannie!! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this house!!!!
Love “The Mike and Jeannie show”. Your excitement is so evident by Jeannies smile. I’m excited to see your progress. Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
Wow finally, CONGRATS to you both.
Looking forward to see your next video. 🙏❤🥰🦋💐👏💃💝
So happy For you finally made it! God Bless you's!
Beautiful old house and looking forward to seeing all you are going to do with it!
So excited for you both Mike and Jeanie! I have no A/C either --1898 house, but if I open a lot of the original wood windows, I get a nice breeze and the house cools down fabulously!
I love that! Some houses were built with cupolas on the roof that can be opened to get the chimney effect. We saw a bunch of those in the Northeast.
Ionic columns. Beautiful
You guys are the coolest and have the mad skills! This place will be amazing.
Congratulations, seeing you light and get excited makes me just smile. It is going to be beautiful!! Can’t wait to see the finished product.

Looking forward to following your adventure. There is an amazing aura in homes that have been well lived in.
Can't wait to see your restoration project...It doesn't look like it is in that bad of shape actually...A real treasure!!
It's in great shape, yet there are a of of things that need attention and repair.
Wow can't wait to see what you do with it
I am so happy for you two. Just so awesome!!!
Congratulations!!!
She's a beauty. I'm so happy to see it so original
So happy to see you managed to get this house. I can't wait to see how it progresses, best of luck and enjoy your new home.
Thank you so much!
Congrats on finding the house you wanted! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Have a great day!
How GREAT!!! I'm so happy that beauty of a house is finally yours!
I feel like I won the lottery and the house isn't even mine!!
Looking forward to the journey ahead with you two. Best of luck and congratulations!!!!!!

Lol! We're glad to have you along for the ride.
That landing up stairs is called a Christmas landing. Used by the family for informal living. Often used when multigenerational living was popular.
Interesting! Thanks for the tip!
I can't believe the day has finally arrived. How exciting. I am also ready to join you on this restoration.
What a great house. Congratulations.
Good Luck....Victorian houses are notorious for being haunted.....it still remains a beauty!
Ghosts must have good taste in architecture!
Congratulations! It's a beautiful old girl! I am so in love with these old houses. It's a treasure! I can't wait to see it done and i'm sure it will be an excellent work!
Hello Martina! Welcome to the channel!
@@1834RestorationHouse thank you! I am looking forward to see how the restoration goes!
Yay!!! So excited to see the restoration!! Beautiful home inside and out!
I am so thrilled for you both. The delays must have been so agonising but you got your beautiful house in the end. Here in the UK we do not have tin panels on the ceiling. I have seen it used a lot in the States. We also do not have the metal panels on the fireplaces (not to my knowledge). The downstairs and upper landing are huge spaces in their own right and I like the proportion of the rooms too. I am going to eagerly wait for all these exciting videos to start coming out. Congratulations Mike and Jeannie. You so deserve this house. It has been waiting a lot time for you to find it!
Tin ceilings were popular in the first 20 years of the 20'th century. In old photos it seems like they were everywhere!
Ive had to watch the video again. I'm so pleased for you both. The house is so beautiful. I can't wait to see what u do with it xx Lisa xx ❤️ 😘
I am so excited for you guys, many blessings in making this your home!
Thank you so much! It took a lot longer than we expected.
Congratulations! Looking forward to see what you do with that lovely, old home and perhaps you can throw an historic tour once in a while when you need a break!
Great idea!
Yay!! I was becoming almost as anxious as you must have been. Can't wait to see the progress on your lovely new treasure.
