    Fantastic video. That's a very expensive restoration 🤔. It's good you're doing the restoration work. Definitely not something for an amateur.

    The Wharton-Scott House is one of those houses that is a challenge to identify the style and period. The architectural styles are combination of Colonial, Georgian, and Beaux-Arts. Restoring this property and its amenities will be a major undertaking. Congrats on getting the project. If anyone can manage this, I'm sure Brent Hull and his team can do it!

    This is so fun to watch. Our daughter and son-in-law were married at Thistle Hill. My son-in-law got ready in the carriage house and it was a bit toasty 😂 I always thought it would be beautiful if someone restored it. Glad to see such care being taken in the process and I’m learning alot.

    Congratulations. What a treasure - surrounded by the city. Looking forward to a … lengthy … series. As you incorporate new materials I expect the result will be better than new. Are you going to help establish maintenance procedures that will ensure the integrity of the buildings for the next hundred years?

    That property is incredible!
    So sad to see the neglected maintenance. I think tow years of restoration is optomistic, but then it depends a lot on how many men are working in that time.
    Keep up the good work!

  • @roberttaylor9259
    @roberttaylor9259 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you remove the Ludowici roof is there a high priority to catalog the exact location of every tile and replace them back original? Or is it one of those things since it's modular system they will fall into place wherever they need? I imagine even in the later there's a few case scenarios where speciality pieces might have to go in certain locations?

    • @BrentHull
      @BrentHull  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question, they are modular but there are unique elements, ridge caps, trim pieces, edges, etc.
