Life just doesn’t get any better than a husband and wife who enjoy doing a project together. God bless you Frank and Carrie. I just love Carrie and Frank is so smart.
You two deserve a lot more views than you get so far. Half the battle of running a TH-cam channel is learning to game the algorithm so that it finds viewers for you. Can;t be hard compared to the rest of the stuff you figure out.
I am so happy for you! I never understood how you didn’t have a million more views. What you are doing is so inspiring! I have loved your vlog for a long time; keep doing what you are doing. ❤
@@moorelandhouse responding to comments is lovely but I think most of us don’r expect it. So please take that pressure off yourselves. What you are already doing is enough!
For those that are new here boy, have you missed a lot! I'd recommend watching all of their videos. There are a few nail biters! I did binge watch to catch up but that was maybe two years ago. If you don't have the time or inclination to be like me, don't miss watching how Frank dismantles and reassembles the limestone facade. Riveting! Love this channel!
I'm glad your saving this beauty. She's a lot to take on for sure. I'm happy I found you on TH-cam. I can now add you to my Sunday videos to watch. Thanks.
The videos might not be as frequent now because we are supposed to close the sale on Friday. We will still be doing updates as the new owner finishes the restoration.
Since the beginning, I have always anticipated your weekly videos. Never have I thought to critique how you make your videos. When you enjoy watching, the thought of criticism doesn't enter your thoughts. Just to be honest, I couldn't imagine this channel being different from what it is now. Thank you both for the content you provide. I truly enjoy watching your hard work, both the physical work on Ms. Moreland, and the hard work of filming and editing. Best to you both!
We go by the John Lydgate quote: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.
I love the "HEY BABY" greetings and the "WHATCHA DOING?" Those comments back and forth between the two of you are absolutely adorable and I giggle when you do it. Can't wait to see what Season FIVE brings!
Frank & Cari, Been a long time viewer. I look forward to your vids every week. I admire your tenacity and perseverance on such a large project. You guys rock! Keep up the good work.
Love you two. Great sense of humour. Enjoy your videos. Just my opinion, if I were you, I wouldn't worry about the criticism. I like the way you interact with each other, the joy you get while doing the work you do. So what if one talks alot, talks over the other, and how the videos appear to the viewer.
Hello from California. I’m so delighted to have found your channel. I thoroughly enjoy seeing old historic places, castles, mansions, homes. You both are awesome!!
Congrats on more views! I can't wait to sit down on Sunday nights to see what ya'll are up to. Not that I fly a lot, but when I do, I always keep my out for Frank!
Thank you for all you’re doing for that beautiful girl and for letting us being a part of it with your videos. Many blessings for you and your family🤗💪🏻
I love your channel because you're doing a true restoration vs a strip down to the studs and making it an open concept remodel but calling it a restoration that seems to be the norm now on You Tube. OMG how true about box gutters! Been working on my son's 123 year old house and it needs new box gutters and NO ONE wants to touch them! Also has a stack stone foundation and are having the same problem with that. They're willing to pull it out and put in a pour foundation, but don't want to touch the stack stones. Didn't realize you didn't live in Kentucky! All the more praise of working on this gem!
@@moorelandhouse don't get me wrong, I think they look so much better than the metal box like hanging from the roof line. I just had no idea it was going to be this hard to find someone to fix/replace them........
Firstly let me say thank you. I love, love, love your videos. There is always some yahoo with an unsolicited criticism to share. You are very gracious in your responses. 40 years ago we had a Queen Anne victorian that we loved. She was not nearly as grand or tattered as Miss Mooreland, but she was our pride and joy. We used to say we worked all day to pay for her and all nights and weekends to tend her needs. Job relocation forced us to let her go and now I get my rehabilitation fixes through good folks like yourselves. I went tp paint a small closet one day.and it turned into a 6 week project so I thought the boiler removal was an amazingly quick project. Again thanks for letting us roll with you, You are appreciated.!
Ms Mooreland could not be in more capable and caring hands. than in both of yours. Your attention and care in putting this house to right is just amazing. Your efforts have ensured the longevity of this pile, well into the future. Most would just fill in the mortar cracks, nope not good enough … take er down and put it back the right way ;)
I had a lot of videos to catch up on but it was so fun to watch! I've seen where other you tube creators have trouble with people in the comments. Sometimes you just have to block people if they get nasty. You be you. Either people like you or they don't. They can not watch...lol ❤
Yes, we remind people of that when they complain. There are plenty of other channels to watch. =) We try to get rid of the nasty people before they can cause a ruckus.
Ya,ll have done an amazing job on the house so far, I hope it doesn't take you 20 years to restore Miss Mooreland because I'll probably be dead and gone by then. Lol..lol.. Bye, Kathy
Our plan is to be moved in before we are completely done and that will be within the next 7 years. The project will never really be done because there is always something to do one these old houses.
I, for one, love what you are doing just as you have been doing it. I so look forward to spending Sunday time watching what you are up too! I would never think of telling you how to do what you do! This is your journey and it is a pleasure to be invited along to see things I will never get to see in my life! The rebuilding of the tower and the attic repairs and on and on….are just great journeys and great memories for me and thank you for sharing them! I am happy to see your channel growing…but I hope you continue in your style. Best wishes!
Yes, there are always many paths that lead to the same conclusion. We just do things the way we think they should be done and in the order we think we should do them. Neither way is right or wrong because they should both wind up at the same point in time.
I love your videos - have been with you for over a year - I think you are an amazing couple. My husband and I lived in Western KY for over 50 years and now live in FL - I am a former grant writer and you are so right! Great job!!!!
I’m so glad that you filmed on the stairs. It gave a glimpse of just how glorious Miss Moreland had been and will be when you’re finished. As for Miss Minnie there’s a cat saying “ if I sits, I fits”. Great job! I always look forward to your next video.
I think you are right Carrie, Mis Moreland would have fell to ruins in just a matter of months. I have been watching since the start and I love your vids every Sunday. Sometimes I'm on the edge of my seat and holding my breath. Wish you guys nothing but the best.
I have been watching your channel for years and look forward each week to a new video. Your channel is unique not relying on the instant gratification but as you explained working at your own pace and doing a quality restoration. I admire your head for heights with all the work done so far on the facade, rooftop and tower. Even with Bertha helping. lol. Please keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your journey and love for Miss Moreland with us. Hugs from Australia
I’m one of the ones who asked if you ever wanted help. 😆 You two are simply amazing with what you’ve accomplished so far. I’ll keep watching each Sunday and remember that even when it looks a little overwhelming, that you’re enjoying the process!
I just want to thank you for taking on this piece of Harrodsburg history and saving it for future generations. Fort Harrod and Harrodsburg are important to Kentucky and American history.
We are happy to be doing it. There is so much history in Harrodsburg that the Mooreland House didn't even make it into a book about historic houses around the town. The Mooreland House was too young. =)
I want to thank you for getting me thru another lonely Christmas 2023. I binge watched all your videos Christmas day all day and it helped make the day better. THANK YOU ❤ PS I love the cats very much too.
I’m living vicariously through you guys. It’s been my dream to own a beautiful old house, but unfortunately my income (or lack of), physical limitations and pure lack of DYI knowledge prevent me from doing so!! 😂 I’m so glad you were the ones to rescue Miss Mooreland and can’t wait until you start to do the “pretty” interior work!! You are a mighty pair indeed!! ❤ PS- I wish I could afford to buy you guys the large portraits of the Moores so you could put them back in the house! Minnie days “if I fits, I sits!” ❤
The care you are taking is just terrific. The time it has taken it is a gift to the house because it has allowed drying and settling time. She looks so good. Love your videos and the cats.
I am 71 and I like your videos very much, you make me giggle and I hope you will succeed in your endeavour to raise this old girl. I hope I will be still alive to see you move onto the house in the grounds 😀😜😍 keep on rocking
You two are the best! I'm so glad I found your channel. It's been a couple of years now. Like many others here, I look forward to seeing your newest video each week. You both have a great sense of humor, and I really enjoy that. I told my husband about many of your adventures, and he has watched several videos as well. Every now and then he will make a comment about "Hot Lime Mortar" and it will make us smile. :D I'm glad you're taking your time to restore this house. It's a great way to learn new things, and do something that you do enjoy. The community there, I'm sure, appreciate that you're taking this on, and bringing Miss Moorland back to her old/and a little bit new and improved self. Congratulations on reaching more people! I think that's awesome.
🦘🦘🦘I get it guys and I get you too. So l’m here for the long haul. I don’t mind how long it takes Every Sunday I will be here. Yay Frank and Carrie 🦘🦘🦘
Thanks for the recap. I love watching the interaction between the two of you. You obviously have a lot of love and affection for each other. I have noticed that house renovations sometimes bring out the worst in couples. My husband and I have renovated and built several homes and people have been surprised we never fight.
We have 37 years of marriage experience. We have figured out that getting along is easier than fighting. It did take a little while to figure that out though. =)
Sadly, Kitten left this world at the end of last year. We don't plan on announcing it in a video but we answer those who are concerned enough to ask in the comments. We think it is more of a private matter than public. Thanks for loving her though, we certainly did.
I always enjoy the cats! 😊😊 Y’all have such a great outlook on things, and although I have heard you mention a couple of restorations, I didn’t know you did it so extensively! I love that you are restoring Miss Mooreland historically- not many people do that! I know it is down the road, but I can’t wait to see the foyer with that beautiful staircase and window!! 😊❤❤. Take care and many blessings! 😊❤
These views are well deserved! I just love this channel and watching you two work. The house is beautiful and I am glad that y'all are bringing her back to her former glory! Even if it takes 20 years. Keep up the good work!
Just found your channel. Wow you have been here on TH-cam for over 4 years. I love watching channels like yours. I love seeing people restore these awesome old houses. Everyone needs to click the like button so your channel so you can get more notice. Your home is going to be awesome to see when it is done.
Congrats on the viewership and keep it up, your channel is very valuable and the house is beautiful. Frank after all you had a great time digging the ditch🤭 People are most eager to move into a finished house and do not understand the passion that gives you the strength to renovate The gutters as well as the slate roof create the beauty of this house, every element creates it. You are doing a wonderful renovation, you know what to do and let it stay that way. Kerry I hope your health returns as soon as possible💚🍀. Minni decided , she will make it so and she did and no one can stop herSee you next week🌝
I have enjoyed watching y'all hack away the ruined stuff that made this house so close to falling down! I don't think I've ever seen anyone attempt a house in this bad of shape and um so happy you are saving her!
You are a wonderful couple, with a fascinating and beautiful house for us to watch you refurbish. I love it when you upload a new video of what you are doing. Love from Louise 🇬🇧
I just love this house... such a treasure. I'm happy to see you taking such care of it... you are exactly what the house needed... those stairs are so beautiful... and the doors... and the stained glass. Such a treasure of workmanship... it's wonderful to see people appreciate old things. I'm even more glad that you are sharing it with us... sometimes I wish I could see more progress... but it'll get there... still a lot to be done before it can be rebuilt back to a livable space. But you are doing great. Don't let the negative Nancy's get you down. We ignore them... you should too.
It's very difficult to offend us because we are very comfortable with our purpose in life and how we interact with others. We do think it is funny to share some of the things people say to attempt to offend us though. =) We do appreciate your nice comments every week.
Great explanation. I always wonder how far you have to commute to work on her. Last week’s overview was great, so many more satisfying hours to bring Ms M back!
Just subbed up. I love this place! I follow a few others and live vicariously through them. It's always been a dream of mine as i am sure for many others. Looking forward to your progress.
Hi, was reading the comments and saw that you had fog in the house because of how damp she was ... golly! Never heard you talk about that and, I’d never heard a house could have 8ndoor fog. Look forward to your vids on Sunday 😊
It was REALLY wet inside when we got it. The difference in temperature between the outside and inside is very stark sometimes as well which facilitates the fog.
I think you two are the cutest hardworking couple. Recently I saw some “shorts”of your channel on TH-cam. I thought great! Maybe that will increase your audience. I enjoy your channel and look forward to the videos every Sunday. So glad you are sharing your hobby with us.
Love watching your progress. I've gotten my husband into it also. In fact he often ask me on Sundays if I'm ready. So sorry to hear about Kitten. She was beautiful. Glad she found love with you two.
As a fellow box gutter sufferer, I feel your pain. My 1890's house needs box gutters replaced, one side of the house was redone in 2008 not that you can tell from looking at it now. The other side is probably original but it's also the side the squirrels like for their recent incursions into the attic. I can block off entry from the inside up to a point, but replacing the gutters again is the only real solution. I live up the road from you in Paris, my next door neighbour did find someone to replace part of his box gutters and the cost for the section they did was mind blowing.
Yes, we have said many times that box gutters are the bane of our existence. If we could think of any way to get rid of them and keep the look of the house, we would do it in a heartbeat.
@@moorelandhouse I had our roof replaced in 2020, turned out the original wood shake roof was still there and had been covered over with three layers of 20th Century shingles. The old shingles were well past there prime and leaking from storm damage in a number of places. As is typical of a 19th Century house, there was no decking for the roof. If we had more money, there was an opportunity to replace the box gutters with something modern but the cost of that was way out of our budget beyond the roof. Our house is nowhere near as ornate as yours, so modern gutters would not have noticeably altered the look of the house compared to Miss Moreland. The problem now is to find someone who can do quality work on box gutters. My neighbour only had the worst part rebuilt because he couldn't afford to have them all redone and who knows if the people who did it are still in business? As you have experienced yourself, contractors generally don't call people back even if they were the right people for the job.
Wow! Love the video's and all of you're hard work. Frank are you allowed to disclose who you fly for? You and i could talk about planes for hours as my dad was a private pilot. Keep up the great content.
As someone that has done a similar project although on a much smaller scale ( hundred year old farm house in upstate NY) I really enjoy your videos. Especially your do it yourself attitudes. It’s one of my life’s true enjoyments and I suspect it will be one of yours also. Best wishes.
I love getting your email Sunday mornings, it's the perfect time to watch and catch up with what you are doing. I was very happy when you did the whole house tour one, because just the week before I was trying to explain to my mom what you guys were doing. This is the perfect video to show them.
My husband and I really love old houses and someday we’ll be able to have one of our own. We look at old houses on a website called old house dream that are rundown and hoping and praying that somebody comes along and does the same thing you guys are doing and I am so grateful that you guys are doing this with the Moreland so grateful. Thank you for so much for preserving. Such a beautiful wonderful home.
I hear a train in the background and I can just imagine people waiting at the train station back in 1898 looking up at this house on the hill at how granted is and how beautiful it is. I get you wanna do it yourself I get you enjoy doing it, but it would be cool for you to take in or take on some interns. Of course, interns do not get paid. But I’m sure a lot of people would like to learn from what youre doing and I’m sure you have a lot of laborious work that an intern could do. Just something to think about. Love the horse head at the beginning of the stairway
I just found your channel. I really love that you are enjoying your hobby and that it preserves so much of these beautiful old dwellings. Now I'm looking forward to going through your older content.
Like I have said you are loving this beautiful place back to life. Your knowledge and skills always amaze me. You are my favorite channel by far. Oh side note I noticed how much that stair post has closed up compared to what it was she has dried out nicely down there.
I always enjoy how you problem solve the various projects that need to be done. It's always fun to watch your videos on Sunday. Carrie, I hope you feel better soon. You are such a trooper. Thanks for all the work you both do in order to share your journey.
Sorry Kerry has been feeling bad hopefully she is feeling better soon. So happy you got some increased views. stay. warm spring will be here soon and you can really get back to major projects on the house.
We are chomping at the bit. It has slowed us down a little because we don't want to be in the middle of another project when the weather window finally opens up for the masonry work.
I just recently found your channel. Love watching restoration videos. This house has amazing bones. My dad took nearly 10 years to build a large mid century modern home during the 50’s. My mom and I helped when and where we could. I have just an inkling of the extent of your adventure.
My husband and I do not have a channel on TH-cam but I have to say we are the same - no one is going to love and respect her (the house) the way you do so to hire out a work you love doing just isn't going to have the same sense of accomplishment. I am impressed at all you have done so far and the time and care to do it well is great to see. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
Life just doesn’t get any better than a husband and wife who enjoy doing a project together. God bless you Frank and Carrie. I just love Carrie and Frank is so smart.
We wholeheartedly agree! We are blessed beyond belief. We even have some of the most kind viewers in the world.
You two deserve a lot more views than you get so far. Half the battle of running a TH-cam channel is learning to game the algorithm so that it finds viewers for you. Can;t be hard compared to the rest of the stuff you figure out.
More viewers is a double edged sword. Right now we are able to interact with everyone in the comments. A huge channel would make that difficult to do.
@@moorelandhouseThat’s true, and the fact that you respond to everything makes your channel special.
I am so happy for you! I never understood how you didn’t have a million more views. What you are doing is so inspiring! I have loved your vlog for a long time; keep doing what you are doing. ❤
We are having a lot more comments than usual today so we will have to keep up. =)
@@moorelandhouse responding to comments is lovely but I think most of us don’r expect it. So please take that pressure off yourselves. What you are already doing is enough!
The staircase is gorgeous!!!
Absolutely!

That was certainly riveting content.
Some might have been "mortar-fied".
Thanks for the advertisement! We will be doing similar stuff soon.

The videos might not be as frequent now because we are supposed to close the sale on Friday. We will still be doing updates as the new owner finishes the restoration.
I absolutely love that staircase.
It is one of the most wonderful features of the house.
Congratulations and thanks for the welcome! 😃
You bet!

That is so hard to believe that Season 5 starts in May. It's very true, time flies when you are having fun.
Yeah, Yes, Re 'more views'. Well deserved. On that Grand staircase, A very hard working couple who appreciates beauty...
A Huge Thank You..
Our "tour" videos usually do pretty well but this one went over exceptionally well.
Frank & Cari, Been a long time viewer. I look forward to your vids every week. I admire your tenacity and perseverance on such a large project. You guys rock! Keep up the good work.

Have been watching you two for about a year now and have to say you are just way too lovely and all arond great.
Wow, thank you!
@@moorelandhouse oh no! Thank you

We found out 20 years ago when we did our first Victorian Era home.
Firstly let me say thank you. I love, love, love your videos. There is always some yahoo with an unsolicited criticism to share.

We think it will be another 7 years. That really isn't bad considering it took them 5 years to build it with a team.
Get well soon babe. I love watching you both. You also make ma smile. Xxx
Kerry is feeling much better today, thanks!
I enjoy watching so much. I love old houses. So much more beauty in them than the cookie cutters today. Keep up the good work.
Yes, this certainly isn't a cookie cutter house. =)

I’m so glad you were the ones to rescue Miss Mooreland and can’t wait until you start to do the “pretty” interior work!! You are a mighty pair indeed!! ❤
PS- I wish I could afford to buy you guys the large portraits of the Moores so you could put them back in the house!
Minnie days “if I fits, I sits!” ❤
We are glad that we can be here for you. =)
I enjoy that you two are doing the renovation yourselves . It is what I would have to have done ,so I experience it through your log thankyou.v
We do enjoy doing it ourselves. It would be stressful to watch others do it. =)
The care you are taking is just terrific. The time it has taken it is a gift to the house because it has allowed drying and settling time. She looks so good. Love your videos and the cats.
We hadn't thought of it like that. You are absolutely right that it has been good for the house to resettle a bit as we restore it.
I am 71 and I like your videos very much, you make me giggle and I hope you will succeed in your endeavour to raise this old girl. I hope I will be still alive to see you move onto the house in the grounds 😀😜😍 keep on rocking
We will step up our game a little bit to make sure we move in in time. =)
Have fun, do what you want, and don't care what everyone else thinks. The right people will watch.
Yeah, that's kinda how we live our lives and it makes it wonderful. =)
Shoot, the professionals would probably come looking for you to do that kind of work anyway
We could definitely be consultants at this point.
You two are the best! I'm so glad I found your channel. It's been a couple of years now. Like many others here, I look forward to seeing your newest video each week. You both have a great sense of humor, and I really enjoy that. I told my husband about many of your adventures, and he has watched several videos as well. Every now and then he will make a comment about "Hot Lime Mortar" and it will make us smile. :D I'm glad you're taking your time to restore this house. It's a great way to learn new things, and do something that you do enjoy. The community there, I'm sure, appreciate that you're taking this on, and bringing Miss Moorland back to her old/and a little bit new and improved self. Congratulations on reaching more people! I think that's awesome.
Yes, the local community is very supportive. We are close to "hot lime mortar" season again. =)
🦘🦘🦘I get it guys and I get you too. So l’m here for the long haul. I don’t mind how long it takes Every Sunday I will be here. Yay Frank and Carrie 🦘🦘🦘
Yippee! Thanks for sticking around. =)
Just found this channel . It's a mandatory Kentucky thing that I have to subscribe .
Welcome to the family!
Thanks for the recap. I love watching the interaction between the two of you. You obviously have a lot of love and affection for each other. I have noticed that house renovations sometimes bring out the worst in couples. My husband and I have renovated and built several homes and people have been surprised we never fight.
We have 37 years of marriage experience. We have figured out that getting along is easier than fighting. It did take a little while to figure that out though. =)
Where’s your supervisor? Can’t believe he allowed you two to sit around yappin’! 😉
Sadly, Kitten left this world at the end of last year. We don't plan on announcing it in a video but we answer those who are concerned enough to ask in the comments. We think it is more of a private matter than public. Thanks for loving her though, we certainly did.
Very sad to hear that😂
@@moorelandhouse. I’m so sorry.
Your two are so brave to take this on.
I love how positive that you both are with such a tremendous challenge project.
We truly are enjoying the journey.
Yeah.. i love old houses. And they wont build them like this anymore. Thank you.
That's the truth for sure! This house is solid as a rock! Well, it is mostly rock. =)
Looks like she's drying out. I love that staircase. If walls could talk...
Yes, this was right after a pretty good rain storm. There isn't fog in the house anymore. =)
I always enjoy the cats! 😊😊 Y’all have such a great outlook on things, and although I have heard you mention a couple of restorations, I didn’t know you did it so extensively! I love that you are restoring Miss Mooreland historically- not many people do that! I know it is down the road, but I can’t wait to see the foyer with that beautiful staircase and window!! 😊❤❤. Take care and many blessings! 😊❤
The foyer will probably be the first interior section that we will redo.
I get goosebumps just thinking about seeing that staircase well lit and the magnificent windows uncovered.
As do we!
Hi🎉
Hello back!
Ur cats do a lot more then my kitty the are so funny
Crazy is more like it. =)
Thanks for fixing up miss mooreland. She will be beautiful when you are done.
We are glad to be doing it. It is very fulfilling.
These views are well deserved! I just love this channel and watching you two work. The house is beautiful and I am glad that y'all are bringing her back to her former glory! Even if it takes 20 years. Keep up the good work!
The thing is, in 10 years a lot of the maintenance will start over again. =)
Just found your channel. Wow you have been here on TH-cam for over 4 years. I love watching channels like yours. I love seeing people restore these awesome old houses. Everyone needs to click the like button so your channel so you can get more notice. Your home is going to be awesome to see when it is done.
Welcome! We are a growing family and are glad that you found us.
Enjoy your videos and seeing your fur babies
Thanks!
I love your videos and adventures with the house. I am just glad you take me along!
And we are glad you are here!
You deserve it!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Thanks!
That staircase is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen I love watching your videos
Yes, we had never really seen a staircase that was curved like that.
Ahh Frank - we all know you want to get back on those box gutters - chomping at the bit. 😁
Ugh, our favorite thing. We were hoping to find some sewer to clean out or something to put off working on the box gutters.
Congrats on the viewership and keep it up, your channel is very valuable and the house is beautiful. Frank after all you had a great time digging the ditch🤭 People are most eager to move into a finished house and do not understand the passion that gives you the strength to renovate The gutters as well as the slate roof create the beauty of this house, every element creates it. You are doing a wonderful renovation, you know what to do and let it stay that way. Kerry I hope your health returns as soon as possible💚🍀. Minni decided , she will make it so and she did and no one can stop herSee you next week🌝
You always have such nice things to say. Thanks and we will look forward to your comments next week. =)
@@moorelandhouse 👍
The light coming in from the right makes that hallway look fabulous.
Yes, there was a lot of sunshine yesterday and it was just pouring through the windows.
I have enjoyed watching y'all hack away the ruined stuff that made this house so close to falling down! I don't think I've ever seen anyone attempt a house in this bad of shape and um so happy you are saving her!
We like the words "technical disassembly" better than "hack away". =) We might be the only ones crazy enough to attempt it.
Thanks for sharing ..
You're very welcome!
You are a wonderful couple, with a fascinating and beautiful house for us to watch you refurbish. I love it when you upload a new video of what you are doing. Love from Louise 🇬🇧
Thanks Louise!
I just love this house... such a treasure. I'm happy to see you taking such care of it... you are exactly what the house needed... those stairs are so beautiful... and the doors... and the stained glass. Such a treasure of workmanship... it's wonderful to see people appreciate old things. I'm even more glad that you are sharing it with us... sometimes I wish I could see more progress... but it'll get there... still a lot to be done before it can be rebuilt back to a livable space. But you are doing great. Don't let the negative Nancy's get you down. We ignore them... you should too.
It's very difficult to offend us because we are very comfortable with our purpose in life and how we interact with others. We do think it is funny to share some of the things people say to attempt to offend us though. =) We do appreciate your nice comments every week.
Great explanation. I always wonder how far you have to commute to work on her. Last week’s overview was great, so many more satisfying hours to bring Ms M back!
We stay in Kentucky a lot right now because we are working on the Mooreland House. Our Kentucky home is about 25 minutes away from the Castle.
Just subbed up. I love this place! I follow a few others and live vicariously through them. It's always been a dream of mine as i am sure for many others. Looking forward to your progress.
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to the family.
Hi, was reading the comments and saw that you had fog in the house because of how damp she was ... golly! Never heard you talk about that and, I’d never heard a house could have 8ndoor fog. Look forward to your vids on Sunday 😊
It was REALLY wet inside when we got it. The difference in temperature between the outside and inside is very stark sometimes as well which facilitates the fog.
I think you two are the cutest hardworking couple. Recently I saw some “shorts”of your channel on TH-cam. I thought great! Maybe that will increase your audience. I enjoy your channel and look forward to the videos every Sunday. So glad you are sharing your hobby with us.
We did a few "shorts" but they really didn't appeal to our audience demographic. Thanks for the nice comments.
Love watching your progress. I've gotten my husband into it also. In fact he often ask me on Sundays if I'm ready. So sorry to hear about Kitten. She was beautiful. Glad she found love with you two.
She was the best stray cat we had ever met. We watch a few TH-cam channels together as we drink our coffee in the morning.
I have enjoyed your journey through the videos. My favorite time was when you rebuilt the left portion. A real nail biter. 😮❤
Thanks! Just wait till we get to the tower then. =)
As a fellow box gutter sufferer, I feel your pain. My 1890's house needs box gutters replaced, one side of the house was redone in 2008 not that you can tell from looking at it now. The other side is probably original but it's also the side the squirrels like for their recent incursions into the attic. I can block off entry from the inside up to a point, but replacing the gutters again is the only real solution. I live up the road from you in Paris, my next door neighbour did find someone to replace part of his box gutters and the cost for the section they did was mind blowing.
Yes, we have said many times that box gutters are the bane of our existence. If we could think of any way to get rid of them and keep the look of the house, we would do it in a heartbeat.
@@moorelandhouse I had our roof replaced in 2020, turned out the original wood shake roof was still there and had been covered over with three layers of 20th Century shingles. The old shingles were well past there prime and leaking from storm damage in a number of places. As is typical of a 19th Century house, there was no decking for the roof. If we had more money, there was an opportunity to replace the box gutters with something modern but the cost of that was way out of our budget beyond the roof. Our house is nowhere near as ornate as yours, so modern gutters would not have noticeably altered the look of the house compared to Miss Moreland.
The problem now is to find someone who can do quality work on box gutters. My neighbour only had the worst part rebuilt because he couldn't afford to have them all redone and who knows if the people who did it are still in business? As you have experienced yourself, contractors generally don't call people back even if they were the right people for the job.
That sounds like an all too familiar story with houses of this age.@@patricklynch1962
Wow! Love the video's and all of you're hard work. Frank are you allowed to disclose who you fly for? You and i could talk about planes for hours as my dad was a private pilot. Keep up the great content.
Frank flies Boeing 767s for an international charter company. Flying is a lot easier than working on the Mooreland House. =)
As someone that has done a similar project although on a much smaller scale ( hundred year old farm house in upstate NY) I really enjoy your videos. Especially your do it yourself attitudes. It’s one of my life’s true enjoyments and I suspect it will be one of yours also. Best wishes.
Yes, it is very satisfying.
I love getting your email Sunday mornings, it's the perfect time to watch and catch up with what you are doing. I was very happy when you did the whole house tour one, because just the week before I was trying to explain to my mom what you guys were doing. This is the perfect video to show them.
That full tour was way overdue.
My husband and I really love old houses and someday we’ll be able to have one of our own. We look at old houses on a website called old house dream that are rundown and hoping and praying that somebody comes along and does the same thing you guys are doing and I am so grateful that you guys are doing this with the Moreland so grateful. Thank you for so much for preserving. Such a beautiful wonderful home.
Sounds great! You might want to start a little smaller than the one we are working on. =)
Love your videos. Look forward to Sundays. 😊
We do too because we get to hear from wonderful people that feel the same way that we do.
The boiler comment made me laugh...working on old rusty stuff can be very time consuming. Nothing comes apart easily. It always takes time & patience.
Very true!
I hear a train in the background and I can just imagine people waiting at the train station back in 1898 looking up at this house on the hill at how granted is and how beautiful it is. I get you wanna do it yourself I get you enjoy doing it, but it would be cool for you to take in or take on some interns. Of course, interns do not get paid. But I’m sure a lot of people would like to learn from what youre doing and I’m sure you have a lot of laborious work that an intern could do. Just something to think about. Love the horse head at the beginning of the stairway
We run into the insurance issue whenever anyone is on the property.
Amazing !
We agree!
I just found your channel. I really love that you are enjoying your hobby and that it preserves so much of these beautiful old dwellings. Now I'm looking forward to going through your older content.
Welcome to the family!
You clearly have thought this through very carefully, and are spot on! 🎯 For whatever my opinion is worth... Keep up the good work! 😊👍
Thank you! Will do!
Best wishes always.
Thanks!
I always share your site. What you both are doing is amazing.🎉
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on your new viewers. I enjoy your videos.
Glad you like them!
I've shared several videos. Congrats!
Aha! Now we know who the culprit was. =)
@@moorelandhouse LOL!!
Like I have said you are loving this beautiful place back to life. Your knowledge and skills always amaze me. You are my favorite channel by far. Oh side note I noticed how much that stair post has closed up compared to what it was she has dried out nicely down there.
It really has lost most of the swelling. There is a lot of flooring that has gone back to normal as well.
I always enjoy how you problem solve the various projects that need to be done. It's always fun to watch your videos on Sunday. Carrie, I hope you feel better soon. You are such a trooper. Thanks for all the work you both do in order to share your journey.
Sometimes we even surprise ourselves. Kerry is feeling much better today than even yesterday. Thanks for your thoughts.
Thanks for sharing your story and taking us along on your journey - I enjoy your videos very much.
Thanks for watching! It makes it a lot more fun to share.
Sorry Kerry has been feeling bad hopefully she is feeling better soon. So happy you got some increased views. stay. warm spring will be here soon and you can really get back to major projects on the house.
We are chomping at the bit. It has slowed us down a little because we don't want to be in the middle of another project when the weather window finally opens up for the masonry work.
totally understand not wanting to get into something new right now. The weather is going to change soon.@@moorelandhouse
I just recently found your channel. Love watching restoration videos. This house has amazing bones. My dad took nearly 10 years to build a large mid century modern home during the 50’s. My mom and I helped when and where we could. I have just an inkling of the extent of your adventure.
We are glad you found us! We love watching restoration videos as well.
I love the cats.🥰
We do too!
I love your talk and love watching you every Sunday❤❤❤❤❤ I love what you are doing
We look forward to your encouraging comments every Sunday as well.
My husband and I do not have a channel on TH-cam but I have to say we are the same - no one is going to love and respect her (the house) the way you do so to hire out a work you love doing just isn't going to have the same sense of accomplishment. I am impressed at all you have done so far and the time and care to do it well is great to see. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
We are glad you understand. It really isn't for everyone but then again, neither is golf. =)
