those are Jalosie windows.. big down here in FL in the 50's and 60's. Just a few years ago I replaced the last remaining jalousie window in my 1915 house. They are great for air flow but easy to break into
Still have 2 storm doors with those dang windows, so easy to slide out the heavy glass panels. What were they thinking when installing those on a ranch home 1974 up north here? Sure good air flow, but no screening.
@@tacocin I feel your pain. I was across town staying with a friend and the girl next door with her three friends robbed me. They took things given to me over the years from my husband , grandmother and mom. Nice things I saved for years to buy. I knew it was them because her mom worked nights and she asked her if she saw anything. She said no then said we thought you moved. Then called her friends who showed up within minutes. She had my bird which she claimed she found in a cage down the street. Then her sister, brother in law and dad all moved in for about a month. Mother told me she had these friends that had stolen her jewelry and told her she couldn't hang around them. I told her well she's lying to you because right after you leave for work they show up and leave around 5 am before you get home. I told her your daughter may end up dead one day because Florida has a stand your ground law. I told her if I had been home that night I would have shot "whoever" it was. I now call them "lousy windows ".
Absolutely correct! You don't want the jalousie windows. They are a burgler's dream. You don't have to break the glass, you just pull out enough of the panes and you're in! They are also harder to clean and they leak air if you are trying to cool the house with air conditioning or warm the house with a heat source.
Good morning. I had no idea there was a landing and step on the side of the house. You, Cody, and friends are always uncovering "things". I call those side windows "jalousie windows". Mr. Wright, you are doing something I have wanted to do most of my life, restore an old home. I will continue to watch, and re-watch, your posts. You will get it done, and your viewers will watch and applaud. It is a tough job. Thank you.
Robert i think the house 🏡 is smiling 😃, and saying thank you i can breathe again. Thank you for bringing us along on this wonderful and fascinating journey. Be safe 👍🏡💕🏡👍
Looks like your fortunate to have a helper too. Big job but bet it will be worthwhile in the end. Best of luck to you both! Glad you knew rat snakes are good to have around.
It’s crazy how quickly vines, ect. Can take over Things! That snake probably would have given me a heart attack 😳 great to see the tin! I know it’s enough to do the entire house but with it stacked up it doesn’t look like that much! Keep up the great work, I look forward to the continued progress!
So many interesting things you are finding out about this property. Thanks for sharing them with us. Cody really worked hard clearing all the vines and debris from that porch. I would never have thought he was going to find concrete. That will power wash off and look great. Y'all have a Blessed day and Mr. Rat Snake says thank you very much for allowing him to stay and he will be happy to take care of any rodents that try to horn in. LOL.
The outside of the house is looking really good. You must get such satisfaction watching it take shape again. Love watching your dog with you. He looks like he is so happy to be your companion. You are very lucky Robert. Delaware 😊
Robert, your pleasures become my pleasures. You enjoy the snake, the different wall construction and all the treasures buried around her foundation. Thanks for sharing. Blessings on the roof.
Those windows were called Jalousie windows. Florida was full of them in houses. In fact my 1950 house had them. It was like porch with all those damn windows. By the way, ask your friend Brandon what kind of bottle that is that you thought might be a whisky bottle. I tell ya Cody did it again at cleaning up that little porch area.Great job Cody. It was so exciting to see the roof. Can’t wait till you get it going. Everything is looking super. Loved watching Baloo. His head was bobbing back n forth watching the two of you cleaning that area , couldn’t decide who to herd. It was so cute. What a great n beautiful dog he is. ♥️😊👍👍👍🐶
Robert, I enjoy watching your videos on both of your TH-cam channels. For the people who don’t know why the kitchen was a separate building in the past , it was due to fire. Most house fires occurred in the kitchen and with no modern fire departments or hydrants, it would be less likely that the entire house would burn down. I have visited many historical sites and that’s what was explained to me.
Robert the patio looks great.Getting better every video.Keep up the great work your doing .I really enjoy watching how beautiful this place really is.💙
Everything you do now shows more and more how charming the farmhouse & environs are. That little ol porch has good memories attached to it, not truly from the Byrds but tied in with the lovely farm nonetheless.
I grew up in the hills of Western North Carolina. I remember sleeping upstairs under a tin roof during rain storms. Nothing is as pleasing to me like that sound!
Things are really looking good, Robert! Clearing that stuff away from that door and exposing the cement slab sure made quite a difference! The original owners are smiling down on you for all your hard work, I'm sure! Oh, and love the hair cut! Looks awesome!
So glad you got your roof that is exciting we are glad that you will help putting it up. Oh my that snake gave us the chills to close to your house. Cody is doing such a great job with you. It's nice you have another porch
I honestly didn't think there was anything but a big pile of dirt in front of that door! Both of you are working your tushes off. I'm with you about those windows, not attractive but they will do for now. So excited about seeing the new roof!!! Heck of a big learning experience, but with your friend helping I know you can do this. Love the snake!!! :)
I hope you will find a way to replace those windows . You used to see them a lot on RV's but who thought they were a good idea for homes was mistaken. Glad you are getting your roof .It's too bad the chimneys are so far gone you have to eliminate them. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
You may need to consider redoing all of the peers under the house, one by one. The idea is to raise the whole floor structure of the house several inches, back to original level. And replacing any rotten floor joist as you go.
I’m so glad you didn’t kill the rat snake. 🙏🏻 Such a lovely home. With each thing you do your uncovering so many treasures. I hope you keep some of them. And incorporate them into the house.
Good Boy Cody! He is a great help to you. Boy, that area is going to be a big job! lol Wow!!! Is he a good snake? Big snake, watch out for your chickens ... lol Is this a back porch area? Looks so much better.
With the new roof fixing to b underway. Just seems like a whole new level of interesting coming for this channel. Love what you do. Keep up the good work.
The old fuel can once held Jp4 fuel additive for aircraft. By the way nice job cleaning off the porch time to pressure wash it and coat it with polyurethane. Those windows were louvered glass windows.
Why you sure have made alot if progress from the last time I watched! Love what you're doing putting life into the beautiful old place again. If only walls could talk.
Wow a fella explained how the kitchen was separate from the house...just made me realize my grandma's house was like that too at one time. What we called the summer house was enclosed and added to the main house. Thank you Robert.
Really enjoying your presentations. Being a long ago farm boy myself, the songs of the Cicadas (we called'em "Locusts") and the chattering, "Ka-trak Ka-trak" of your Guineas are, truely, music to this old man's ears and heart. Glad to see your pup is on hand and making certain y'all are doing everything correctly. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
Very cool. My grandparent's farm house, built 1900, had those windows on the front porch. As others have said, they are called jalousie windows. Sometime in the 1950s they had those installed all the way around the front porch. On the porch door they were just like yours. But the rest of the jalousies panes on the porch were huge, maybe a foot tall and 3 feet wide. They also had screens on the inside. That porch had awesome air flow.
Robert. I live in Canada the second and thing I would With the house #1. Get a good roof on the house and vent the attic properly. You can do that at the top Just cut some sweating back or it may already be there. Put a weather main up there for a vent maybe more than one # 2. Retire new hydro and plumbing # 3. Insulate. You can blow in
I'm a firm believer that houses hold memories and have feelings,and I'm sure this house is thanking you for all the love and hard work you are pouring into it.I wish you all the best in your endeavour.
Cody is a fantastic son. Buy him plenty of chicken fingers. Baloo is an A No. 1 doggo. He loves y'all so much. I love that kitchen patio. I could see Mrs. Bird sitting there after a long, hot day of canning.
To get rid of any woody vine or tree I use a hatchet and mixture of 24d and water in squirt bottle . Slice the vine or tree with the hatchet and squirt a small amount of 24d in fresh cut slice and it will die. There are many videos on this procedure so check them out,it does work.
@@heartslessons6243 It's a weed killer. A really really good weed killer. It laughs at RoundUp 😂. You can get it in concentrated form at farm or fertilizer stores. I don't bother with the premixed stuff.
Dang! Should I say that I remember that style of 7-Up bottle?! That was so serious clean-up! Nice to watch you whist I sit in my easy chair.😉☺️ But, I agree, you can keep the snake. 😁💜
Hello Robert from croatia how are you love to see you love that byrd old farm chickens and baloo verry much love all that i see thank you for your great job big love to you
So nice to see the new discoveries as you continuing cleaning. It's very exciting to watch except for the snake, LOL I know they perform a service but ouuuu! not a snake person :)

Ok thanx those pretty bricks under the threshold of the house put your name and year you redid this pretty house.
Cody, you are awesome!

Super easy to break into ... victimized long ago by that style.

We called them louver windows. You used to see them on mobile homes too.
Thank you Cody for all the shoveling you are a big help. God bless both of you.
Seeing all the years of neglect the house says Thank You! You're a Roofer, Snake wrangler,Farmer. You're wearing lots of hats lately Robert.

You have a faithful dog there, following you everywhere!

Great haircut! And I love the roof- nothing is more Southern than rain on a tin roof😊
Thanks Robert and Cody you are to be commended for being such a hard worker. Good to see balou. Enjoyed hearing the history of the house.
Go Cody,what a great job you’re doing.
Love the uncovering of the porch. Great job Cody and Baloo.
It’s crazy how quickly vines, ect. Can take over
Things! That snake probably would have given me a heart attack 😳 great to see the tin! I know it’s enough to do the entire house but with it stacked up it doesn’t look like that much! Keep up the great work, I look forward to the continued progress!
I just want to say that you are amazing. This house is an exciting project. I am impressed with your progress so far!
The yard has come such a long way!!! Great work…
It is so much fun watching your dog make every step you do!
have you any photo's of it back in the day to see what it looked like Robert, I am totally intrigued.
If you go to the channels community page and scroll kinda far down he's got a picture of it in the 1930-40s
Just saw your posting and got intrigued. Have subscribed. Good luck with rescuing this poor neglected house.
Cody is a hard worker. Cleaning all those vines and dirt away from the house is not an easy task.
congratulations Robert...its a good day for the farm. Great day as yu dress her with a new tin roof YES!!!
Great video. I'm so happy to see she getting a roof. Your beautiful dog is so sweet. God bless you all and Keepsafe.
I love how your dog stays closd to you at all times, good dog!
Good owner. A dog will always follow its leader. Make yourself leader, dog will follow.
Cody is sure getting a workout with all that shoveling and lifting that he does. He's a good worker.
Love the videos, they are always interesting.
So many interesting things you are finding out about this property. Thanks for sharing them with us. Cody really worked hard clearing all the vines and debris from that porch.

It's been unbearably hot here in North Carolina, so Georgia is right there with us...it's wonderful to be your ages and get things done in the heat!!
Cody, you are such a hard worker. So glad to see a young man working hard to help your Dad. Proud of you
The outside of the house is looking really good. You must get such satisfaction watching it take shape again. Love watching your dog with you. He looks like he is so happy to be your companion. You are very lucky Robert. Delaware 😊
Hey Robert. That Navy canister is what they used to store prop wash on the aircraft carriers. 😂😂😂
LOOK AT THAT AWESOME WOOFER GO!!! 🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶 KUDOS TO BA-LOU!! MY KIND OF DAWG!!👍👍👍
Exterior siding looks pretty good. I bet the door could be refinished, as is. You need a shelter for that porch. Anyway lookin' better ever day.
Your little dog is so cute in your clearing montage. Absolutely sticks to you like glue. Nothing bores him!
I love seeing Blue. He is such a loyal companion and loves his master.
THUMBS up to this video!!!!! Yeah, about the roofing material. The old place is shaping up. 👍👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋👋🎆
Robert, your pleasures become my pleasures. You enjoy the snake, the different wall construction and all the treasures buried around her foundation. Thanks for sharing. Blessings on the roof.
You should ask Brandon about the bottle, pretty interesting finds(not the snake though) you can keep that there.
I love the sound of the crickets and summer in the background
Can't get over how much better the place looks.
Those windows were called Jalousie windows. Florida was full of them in houses. In fact my 1950 house had them. It was like porch with all those damn windows.

I like the way your dog guarding your surroundings and too busy watching after you.
Cody aint playing! Ready to get the Byrd house project done!Awesome wormer!!😊
Awesome worker!😊Not wormer!
Love how your dog is constantly by your side!
Cody works hard for a young man. Well done Robert on the clearing of the porch and front of the farmhouse. Xx
The wood must be petrified because the bush hog was getting close 😜🍻
I still have two of those windows in the bathroom and kitchen in my 1935 house.
Oh, groan! Ha ha.
That was genuinely funny!
I grew up in the hills of Western North Carolina. I remember sleeping upstairs under a tin roof during rain storms. Nothing is as pleasing to me like that sound!

I absolutely love that car!! That’s what you call beautiful
We picked that same roof in charcoal gray. My husband installed all of it himself. It's wonderful. I'm excited for you and the Byrd Farm!
Stupendous porch clean off!!!!! 👍🏽🙌🏼👍🏽🙌🏼 ROOF, ROOF, ROOF!
I am all for nature and good snakes, but that one could easily eat a chicken every few days! Great work on the house, and glad to see the roofing!
Looking good, very excited to see the new roof, best of luck, and take care.
That bush hog is amazingly handy. I'm kinda hoping you are going to take down those cement blocks....
Love watching the progress seeing the place come back to life. Great job
You may need to consider redoing all of the peers under the house, one by one. The idea is to raise the whole floor structure of the house several inches, back to original level. And replacing any rotten floor joist as you go.
So glad you didn’t kill the snake. Also, Blue sure loves you.

Why you sure have made alot if progress from the last time I watched! Love what you're doing putting life into the beautiful old place again. If only walls could talk.
Your project is wonderful! 👍
Hello Robert, Cody and Balloo!!
Wow a fella explained how the kitchen was separate from the house...just made me realize my grandma's house was like that too at one time. What we called the summer house was enclosed and added to the main house. Thank you Robert.
I think you should have a T-Shirt with the words "My best friend" or something along those lines and a picture of the bush- hog.

You two sure work hard I can't wait to see the results
Cody is a fantastic son. Buy him plenty of chicken fingers. Baloo is an A No. 1 doggo. He loves y'all so much. I love that kitchen patio. I could see Mrs. Bird sitting there after a long, hot day of canning.
Poor Blu he either wants to play or help out What a great dog 🐶😳🤣😉😅😆😊😂👍😎🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Amazing. You know how to do a lot of construction. That's a good thing. Enjoying your progress.
Nice video. The Chevy looks cool.👍
