The first thing you do with old books is go through each one to make sure someone didn't stash cash between the pages! I read a story about someone buying a hoarder's house and before throwing out the books they went through them and the previous owner had placed cash at nearly every chapter beginning in many of the books. It was literally hundreds of thousands of dollars!!
We called that fan The Attic Fan. It’s what we used in the 1950’s before air conditioning. I was raised in Texas near the Gulf Coast. The breeze was nice, but the humidity was awful.
I wish I had an attic fan! My 1925 Freemason built house is amazing, but an attic fan would draw this heat wave heat out in the evening and pull in the cooler evening air
Yes he's amazing! One man show I found this channel from another station recommendation and find it quiet interesting. What a blessing to be able to have this much property. Yes it will be work but in the end all worth it. If you can turn some of this land into source of income for you both that would be the best part of all this. Thanks for sharing.
The 'spider' looks like a Granddaddy Long Leg. Sorta played with them when I was a child ( I'm in my sixties now) lol I'd let them crawl on me. They are fairly harmless.
Yes, it looks like a daddy long leg to me too. When I was in grade school , at girl scout camp, I would remove them from all the other tents because everyone else was scared of them. I liked to save them and put them back in nature.
Those big attic fans are genius! My parents home had one, and they really work well. They need to be utilized more today to offset high air conditioning costs.
Where do you find a good whole house fan. We need one that is about a foot square or a foot long rectangle. Right now we used 3 old computer fans, made a frame to fit the hole and they are sucking the hot air into the attic. Powered by the range hood electricity and switch.
Soooo much unexpected work - glad you can keep your cool with all the surprises! It will be worth all the aggravation in the long run, though. Keep on, keep on.... :o)
lol....watching you with that vacuum I was thinking..."man, he needs a longer...thingy" ...then....."WALLA!"...there it was ! 👏😆 My dad had built in one of those huge fans into a big house he built...."AFTER" all us kids moved out ! 🙄(there were 6 of us and we grew up in a 1500sqf house) It moved a LOT of air ! Sucked everything all the way up from the basement into the whole house....but man, was it LOUD !! Looking good in that house ! 👍
Every house that I have owned has been an older home. I have always had to undo what some previous owner had jacked together. Takes 10 times as much energy and time to fix it properly.
Wow, so much hard work but is paying off. The fan in your ceiling is pretty cool and I have never seen that before 👍. Your sun room has so much potential. Just taking the rug out made a huge difference. I bet your house even smells better already. So cool you can pick your own food from your garden.
Yes, the house went from smelling absolutely disgusting to now smelling like a library. The carpets were so soiled and dirty that once they were out the smell went almost completely away in a day or two.
Oh Wow! Who would ever ever put a wall over carpet and WHY?? You have done an amazing job and its going to look great when its done, it goes to show you that you never know what you are getting when you buy a house. you both sound like you have a good vision for your house. One day at a time🥰🥰🥰
Making two bedrooms is a great idea for that space. The white paint you put on the floor made that area so much lighter. Im a big fan of old houses.. that one has had some pretty bad renovation work in the past.. but her bones are good. Good job Nate.. its going to be amazing!
Nate , you look exhausted and defeated, that is a huge task and you are working your way through it so well. Hard hard work and perhaps a weekend away would do you both good, but then their are animals to tend to. You live on a paradise of land so maybe long walks and resting out in the acerage would renew the spirit and soul. Katie, your meals are amazing and I am sure Nate looks forward to those delicious plates of food at the end of the day. True enough physical exhaustion and mental are the same yet different. Either one can exhaust you. Pace yourselves and take care as it's going no where nor are the animals. Lots on both of your plates. Everything is looking good and the home is going to be amazing when you are done. Hang in there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel! God bless, get some rest!!! 🙂
That opens up the living area so much into a nice big open space with a wood-burning fireplace. I would take down that wall. It doesn’t need to be up to create a hallway. Open concept.
Our family found the best way to use the attic fan was to only open the windows like an inch. You hand will feel when the suction is strong. Then in the morning, before the outside air warms up, close all the windows and shut blinds and the house would stay cool until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. We lived in a hot part of US with lots of humidity.
The books are holding a lot of dust, mold, odor, and insects. My sister used to work in a library and took a course on books and what they can harbor. Are the books valuable? They should be taken outside to air in the sun and you can go through them to see what condition they are in.
You have so much physically hard work to do. Doing it right and once is the best way! Katy’s mental work is tiring too. It is taking you both a lot of effort to achieve your dream. Well done. 🌻🌻💕💕
Attic fan is great. Cracker bedroom windows at night, good air flow. Ours had a timer, which is great. One bad thing with the fan, if you have allergies 🤧
A little ingenuity and some duct tape and magic happens. I'm kinda glad the wall was built over the carpet cause I hated the setup and wanted you to tear it down. Easy for me to want much harder for you to do. Keep up the great work. Also I've found the pear shaped tomatoes split super easily.
The bathroom linoleum was actually nice when it was clean! LOL My house built in 1998 has a whole house fan and in the fall when the nights are cool we open windows and turn that on low and its awesome!
Wow! Work all day like that and still put on that gourmet dinner! I'm impressed! When I've had a big day canning or whatever, it's taco chips with salsa for me.
Don't get me wrong, that also happens :) I feel like smoking the meat is a little of a cheat because you put it on then ignore it till it's at the temp you want.
The 'carpet tack strip' of which you speak, is called 'smooth edge.' The padding that goes under the carpet is called 'underlay.' if you don't want to take out another wall, take the baseboards out, and cut into it on, say, a 45 degree angle, and pull it with a hooked knife, or pliers if necessary. Then put the trim back on. Sure. it'll take a bit of time, but not as much time as tearing down a whole wall and putting back trim and all that. BTW, when taking material down, cut in the corner between the wall & ceiling, as not ripping peces of paint and such, it'll be easier to patch in later. I used to do all this before retirement.
After you painted that floor white I’m pretty sure I was ready to move in 🤣😂 In your sun room, it’d be sweet if you could put in a ceramic tile that could handle moisture so you could use the space for plants etc and not worry about ruining the floor.
You might reconsider keeping the trim and ANY wood to do patching. Also, the crown mouldings are sometimes slightly different, so keep it all till your DONE👍🤗
Every time I watch You two start a project it makes me want to get into my mess and start clearing it away. Too bad it 10:30pm or I'd be digging away at it. Keep up the good work.
I don't know if you have shown a floor plan of the 1930s house previously but I would love to see the layout if possible. A before and after would be awesome! Making changes for the better and definitely more rentable.
Nice progress on the house, Nate. I was happy to see the carpet in the sunroom wasn't glued down, or at least didn't look like it was. Katie, dinner looked amazing!
I grew up with attic fans .... that was our air conditioning back in the day. You ran the fan at night with the windows open when it was cool outside and then shut up the house during the day to keep the cool air inside as much as possible. We put one in our house when we built back in 2007. They are great.
We have a similar room on the south side of the house that we use for our makeshift greenhouse. This one is pretty cool and has an attached outdoor deck.
It’s never ending but at least you work smart. So many people put the dry wall on the ground then have to pick it up, glad you had the wheel barrow. Glad you had someone look at the books. I did a book clean up with my friend who is a Librarian and almost all the books had to go as they had mold, which I have a feeling your books have also? When I lived in the Midwest the house I had had a ceiling fan and it was the best. It helped so much, I’m trying to figure how to have one in my house now. When you are so tired physically and mentally it’s common to not be able to recall what the names for things are. It’s a sign to me you are doing hours of hard work.
I would floor over the lino in the kitchen. It could be asbestos, needing abatement. But put a new underlayment and it should be ok if the flooring underneath is solid.
Nate, you really did some awesome work . I know you will sleep good tonight, I know it was In Fast mode for us , but you really did knock out a lot of work on the house . Awesome job !
I am so so sorry About the chickens I know it feel so bad.but u both did everything ❤ u could.thatswhat those animals do.they know the land.more then u..but just wait ✋ things r going to look up.when a blessing is coming things sim.to happen.before the blessing gets there. I am praying for.u and journey.
Multitool, aka fine tool, aka osci, aka Mr wiggles! / good call on the wall, as for load look in the attic and see if the ceiling joist are "lapped" above the old wall location.
Hello 👋 Holy Waters Homestead here… thanks for sharing your adventures.. I also watch a channel called “The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni,” His dog Tuck gardens with him also and will actually pull carrots 🥕 up and eat them..
When you are all done with cleaning and renovations, you will have the most awesome house! My star’s house had a house an old our t kept the house quite comfortable! You two got a lot accomplished in just five months!
I am a throw it all in a bowl kind of girl :) I halved the small pear tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, threw them in the skillet with olive oil, added fresh chopped basil, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
We had a whole house fan in the home I grew up in. It was awesome and kept the house and us cool. I really like your sun porch. I can’t wait to see what your plans are.
How terrible that they were so lazy to install the wall on carpet. People can be so.. crazy!I Would definitely remove at least 1 WALL from the kitchen (Katie is right)! Great work renovating and cooking! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Blessings
One of the houses we grew up in [we moved a lot.] had a fan like that but we called it an attic fan, I guess because it pulled the air up into the attic. It really cooled that big house though. We had no a.c. and we live in central Fl.
The house I grew up in had a attic fan bigger than the one you have in that house. We did not have AC. So we were happy when Mom you turn it on in the heat of the day.
Those whole house fans are awesome. My uncle was a builder and he put them in every home he built. It works well for our climates, the house gets hot but it can be cooler outside, turn on that fan. Gone for a few days, turn on that fan and cool down the house before you turn on the air conditioner. I actually want one for our house, there is a perfect spot in the hall that would work perfectly and it is just a matter of convincing my hubs to do it. Even with our windows open in the spring or fall there is just no cross ventilation at all, no breeze blows in even when it is windy outside so I want one of those bad boys! Lucky you!
After acquiring heart failure, I found the utilitarian use of a dehumidifier on wheels. I set ours under the uptake on the whole house fan. It take a few hours to change the comfort level but it is quite helpful.
Use ozon for the smell. i bought one of those apparatus, works very well, if not, use it several times. But stay away while (and couple of hours after) when in use
@@TheKraemerLife, simple 1"x3" or 1"x4" boards - painted - are the way to go for baseboard, window, & door trim in older farm homes like this one, vs. expensive millwork. Ranch trim is the WORST, from an aesthetic standpoint. Does not fit a '30s bungalow at all. It's just easier to remove a poorly installed wall or built-in than to attempt to fool around with it. You can usually re-claim & re-use most of the studs, as well. That sort of demolition of a non-load bearing wall is pretty simple stuff - fairly quick & satisfying, imho. Enjoy!
We had a whole house fan in my childhood home. If you open a window in each room about 4 or 5 inches and turn the fan on, it will remove all the musty smell and mold spores. Nothing like bringing in that fresh air!
Smart move! Save your back. lol I can't believe someone built a wall over carpet! Winston looks like he is wearing eye makeup! So pretty. Dinner looks delicious! All the best.
The first thing you do with old books is go through each one to make sure someone didn't stash cash between the pages! I read a story about someone buying a hoarder's house and before throwing out the books they went through them and the previous owner had placed cash at nearly every chapter beginning in many of the books.

Tomatoes in an egg basket , useful.
That’s what we called it too. Just amazing. Would love to have one now.
Katie I always enjoy seeing the plate of food you cook. You make amazing meals for Nate, as he deserves, after working hard and long days.
Thank you so much! I love to cook and he loves to eat so it works well.
Yes he's amazing! One man show I found this channel from another station recommendation and find it quiet interesting. What a blessing to be able to have this much property. Yes it will be work but in the end all worth it. If you can turn some of this land into source of income for you both that would be the best part of all this. Thanks for sharing.
Looks so yummy!
Yess,, & mostly all fresh from the garden 🍷🍷

Yes, it looks like a daddy long leg to me too. When I was in grade school , at girl scout camp, I would remove them from all the other tents because everyone else was scared of them. I liked to save them and put them back in nature.
supposed to be good for eating other bugs

Whole house fans are great! My parents had one to get the heat out of their house before getting air conditioning!!
Soooo much unexpected work - glad you can keep your cool with all the surprises! It will be worth all the aggravation in the long run, though. Keep on, keep on.... :o)
I have one of those fans, we call it an attic fan and you have to keep a window open but it is great for circulating the air, we love it 🙂

You’re definitely a hard worker! You’ve both made great strides to clean up the house and build your own little farm.
Yes, thank you
Great reno work, Nate, and delicious home grown meal, Katie!
Thanks so much! 😊
We love our our whole house fan It saves
Energy costs on not having air
Conditioner
on all the time
Nate, SMART MAN - adding extension - I was just thinking that is what you needed> MAKING PROGRESS!!!!
My grandparents had an attic fan like that and it would cool down the house so much.

The tool is usually called a dremel tool, or an oscillating tool. Your dinner looked wonderful.

Those small red tomatoes are beautiful on the vine and in the basket.
They are red pear tomatoes and they were quite tasty. I lightly salted and peppered them then stir fry them with a little basil and balsamic vinegar.
MY parents had a whole house fan - it was GREAT for cooling off the house in the evenings.
You have so much physically hard work to do. Doing it right and once is the best way! Katy’s mental work is tiring too. It is taking you both a lot of effort to achieve your dream. Well done. 🌻🌻💕💕
Yes, I admire both of them! As we get older it gets harder to do the physical work.
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️ spider is what we call here in Southeast Arkansas a Grand daddy Longleg spider.
Really love watching your videos sorry you are having to work so hard but it will be worth it in the end
It will feel so good to have it finished.
That is such a treasure trove of free books.
We had an attic fan in the house I was raised in. Love those things.
What a mess. I am sorry you guys have to go through all that. So much extra work.
Attic fan is nice too!, glad you are taking the wall out 😄.
Us too!
A plunge saw. I use mine a lot. Best invention ever! Maybe not the “best” but darn close!
Attic fan is great. Cracker bedroom windows at night, good air flow. Ours had a timer, which is great. One bad thing with the fan, if you have allergies 🤧

Yes, Nate hates when I suggest moving / removing things. I was also glad because now we have an excuse to fix some of the floor plan.

That is called a attic fan. Wonderful to use at night when it is not so hot outside. Open the windows about 1 inch.
Dinner looked delicious 😋...tomato basil salad mmmmm...that's an awesome fan... house is coming along nicely
Oh yes!

Thank you so much!
My dad installed a whole house fan in our house when we were kids. We loved in the Northeast so we were able to use it often in the summer.
They are really nice, makes a huge difference.
You might reconsider keeping the trim and ANY wood to do patching. Also, the crown mouldings are sometimes slightly different, so keep it all till your DONE👍🤗
We did but it was in such ruff shape we tossed what we didn't have enough to salvage for a room and kept what we thought we could make work.
I don't know how people can build like this! Mercy! The dinner looked yummy! Have a blessed week!
Thanks
That's an attic fan. They are wonderful in spring and fall. You don't have to run ac or heat.
Every time I watch You two start a project it makes me want to get into my mess and start clearing it away. Too bad it 10:30pm or I'd be digging away at it. Keep up the good work.
Watch it again when you wake up on a day off...perhaps that will inspire you :) lol.
I don't know if you have shown a floor plan of the 1930s house previously but I would love to see the layout if possible. A before and after would be awesome! Making changes for the better and definitely more rentable.
We haven't really shown it on paper just as a walkthrough on video.
Keep em coming enjoying yer journey love from Ireland 💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you! Will do!
Yes the attic fan is amazing I used to have one at my old house I wish I had 1 now
It’s crazy to put a wall on up of the carpet. Thanks for sharing
It really is!
Nice progress on the house, Nate. I was happy to see the carpet in the sunroom wasn't glued down, or at least didn't look like it was. Katie, dinner looked amazing!
You and me both!
Carpet is great weed barrier. Great for paths, barnways etc.
We are redoing too....it gets old real fast. Got to press on thx for the encouragement
What a yummy way to end a hard day of work! 🥰
Yes it was!
I love your video, and that house? It is so homey and welcoming. 👍🏻❤🙏🏻😃
Thank you so much!

We cannot believe the prior owner had it taped shut, makes a huge difference.
@@TheKraemerLife they really do! Also great if you burn something in the kitchen!!!! LOL
The room you removed the carpet in last would make a great room for vege starts ect. All those huge long windows, kind of a indoor greenhouse.
We have a similar room on the south side of the house that we use for our makeshift greenhouse. This one is pretty cool and has an attached outdoor deck.
The house is great. Love the bookshelves and porch.
It’s never ending but at least you work smart. So many people put the dry wall on the ground then have to pick it up, glad you had the wheel barrow.
Glad you had someone look at the books. I did a book clean up with my friend who is a Librarian and almost all the books had to go as they had mold, which I have a feeling your books have also?

Amazed the floorboards under the carpet is in reasonably good condition for a 90 year old house!! :-)!!
We have been pleasantly surprised with the condition of the majority of what we are finding.
I would floor over the lino in the kitchen. It could be asbestos, needing abatement. But put a new underlayment and it should be ok if the flooring underneath is solid.
🤙 yes i had the house fan, it's neat.
Hard work 😅 it’s really coming along! Tomatoes look delicious! Katie, you made a delicious looking meal!
Yes! Thank you!
Nate, you really did some awesome work . I know you will sleep good tonight, I know it was In Fast mode for us , but you really did knock out a lot of work on the house . Awesome job !
Yes, it is a daunting amount of work but he is doing awesome!
I am so so sorry About the chickens I know it feel so bad.but u both did everything ❤ u could.thatswhat those animals do.they know the land.more then u..but just wait ✋ things r going to look up.when a blessing is coming things sim.to happen.before the blessing gets there.

Yep we had one of those back in the day. Worked great.
The fan that is.

That supper looked delicious! I grew some banana peppers this year.
So good! The banana peppers are coming in so well, I can hardly keep up.
Blessings to your family. Be safe and stay hydrated.
I've never seen a fan like that, but now I'm a little jealous.
I can't wait to see what you end up doing with this home and property.
You and me both!
One of the houses we grew up in [we moved a lot.] had a fan like that but we called it an attic fan, I guess because it pulled the air up into the attic. It really cooled that big house though. We had no a.c. and we live in central Fl.
Yes, this house has no heat or AC. We cannot believe the previous owner taped it up and didn't use it. Would have kept him cooler.
Great job,
Stay strong
Thank you!
Attic fan- especially nice for drawing in cool air in the evening and night.
It sure is!
then 2x4 that double up looks like the header from an old doorway
That's a feast!
I've seen those whole house fans in homes here in Calif. before. That was alot of work Nate. But will be nice when all done. Have a good week.
All the hard work is certainly paying off and so glad the smell is gone and your home is getting safer to live in.
Every day we are getting it closer. Sad to think that the previous owner lived in this home almost up to when we purchased it.
Wow! Yes, surprised he didn't get sick.
The house I grew up in had a attic fan bigger than the one you have in that house. We did not have AC. So we were happy when Mom you turn it on in the heat of the day.
Those whole house fans are awesome. My uncle was a builder and he put them in every home he built. It works well for our climates, the house gets hot but it can be cooler outside, turn on that fan. Gone for a few days, turn on that fan and cool down the house before you turn on the air conditioner. I actually want one for our house, there is a perfect spot in the hall that would work perfectly and it is just a matter of convincing my hubs to do it. Even with our windows open in the spring or fall there is just no cross ventilation at all, no breeze blows in even when it is windy outside so I want one of those bad boys! Lucky you!

Use ozon for the smell. i bought one of those apparatus, works very well, if not, use it several times. But stay away while (and couple of hours after) when in use
Sorry the man didn’t take more books!
Yeah, I was a little surprised with him only grabbing 7. He was looking for very specific books on local history though.
It's looking great ,hard work will pay off in the end . I like watching the progress.
Thanks 👍
you working on home a lot to need to live in it you are doing good on it it be so nice when done
Yes, thank you
Molding is very expensive I would hold on to it and maybe paint and reuse
We are keeping the majority of it but there are about 6 different kinds in the house so the stuff that broke or didn't match we will replace.
@@TheKraemerLife, simple 1"x3" or 1"x4" boards - painted - are the way to go for baseboard, window, & door trim in older farm homes like this one, vs. expensive millwork.
Ranch trim is the WORST, from an aesthetic standpoint. Does not fit a '30s bungalow at all. It's just easier to remove a poorly installed wall or built-in than to attempt to fool around with it. You can usually re-claim & re-use most of the studs, as well. That sort of demolition of a non-load bearing wall is pretty simple stuff - fairly quick & satisfying, imho. Enjoy!
We had a whole house fan in my childhood home. If you open a window in each room about 4 or 5 inches and turn the fan on, it will remove all the musty smell and mold spores. Nothing like bringing in that fresh air!
Awesome.
Smart move! Save your back. lol I can't believe someone built a wall over carpet! Winston looks like he is wearing eye makeup! So pretty. Dinner looks delicious! All the best.
Winston's eyes are so cool.
Cut the carpet with a razor knife at an angle back under the wall seal with caulking and reinstall trim
We have a new house in central Nebraska and we have a whole house fan. Builder only charge a few hundred. Best money ever spent. Highly recommend one.
This is so satisfying to watch. I love it! It is very time consuming. You're doing great!
Yes, it is taking longer than we hoped but we are getting through it.
