Per a couple quite frankly dumb comments on here, those bows have been on the porch since at least the ‘60’s. So you’re telling me after 61 years they suddenly became a trip hazard?

Robert just don't invite the people over that think they will trip on the buckle lol seriously though, it's your porch you are comfortable with what you are doing, really people if you are here just to criticize him, then just don't watch! Love from Alberta 🇨🇦
My family lived in a Sears Home when my 5 siblings and I were growing up. It had a large front porch that bounced as we moved across it. One of my favorite memory is sitting on that front porch helping our momma snap bushell after bushell of green beans, shelling, peas, visiting with neighbors and their kids. That porch bounced and the swing squeaked. Mom had worn a rut in the wood with her rocker. Always thought they were supposed to do that. Our swing is starting to squeak. That squeak and crickets. Country bliss. Our dog Molly's a border collar and whatever mix. She's suppose to be my pet but she spent the morning at the cattle pins herding calves. No training just doing what she supposed to. So is your B. Pay no attention to the nay sayers. Doing fantastic job
The porch is looking great and that dog of yours cracks me up! I am glad you are fixing up the Old Byrd Farm in your own way and as you see fit. Can't wait for the next update. Have a good weekend!
what a great job you're doing.. really enjoy this series watching you doing all the different things you're doing.. I had no idea it was this much work.. but now I do.. I love wisteria but after watching you clear it out I understand your frustration. ❤️❤️❤️ your dog.. hi from 🇨🇦
Love watching you fix up your old place. I’ve never seen wisteria go so completely awry , my in-laws have a beautiful one that wonderful but boy do I ever understand. Your sweet dog is just trying to protect you from that very dangerous nail gun 😱 . Keep on keeping on .
So great you got the porch stabilized, we like the rocker your friends gave to you and of course a place for Ballou to sleep on. The farm is starting to some shape. We still can't wait to see some of the inside.
This is the absolute truth…I look forward to your videos more than any other one that I follow. I love redoing furniture and have , with my husband redid an old farm house that was not near as nice as yours. Climbing on roof to repair and paint with kohl seal, new porch out of reused old boards, painting floors and walls etc. loved it. Keep it up Robert. We probably drive less than 50 or 60 miles from “The Old Byrd Farm”. 👏👏👏
Australian cattle dogs are very loyal & protective of their owner. My parents only ever had healers, had race horses. You could get onto the property but trying to leave was another thing, . would bail the offender ( anyone not a regular visitor) until you were rescued. One in particular was such a character, that if my father kissed my stepmom, he would get in between them & growl & push my father away. It wasn't a "I will bite you" growl it was "get away from my mum" or "she's mine, not yours" lol. Nice to see the house get some TLC cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Good morning Robert! 🌞 We had a bouncy place in the kitchen like that. We ended up screwing down because it kept popping back up. Love the rocker.🙂 It looks very inviting. It just needs an ice cold beer.🍻 I know it feels good to get some of those annoying little things done so good job! 👍💜
Loving your new rocker, Robert. Everything looking so homey. I just noticed the curtains in the windows. The extra chair when repaired is just waiting for the other Robert's visit. Today's work gives a sense of things coming together. Don't forget to stay hydrated in that Georgia heat! Baloo is a pleasure to watch! Have a great weekend!👍🥰👏👋
You just gotta love that dog and the bows on the porch. You are doing a good job, Robert and the nailing would not have turned out as well without Baloo's help I mean you two really had a system going there LOL
Good job. I love the rocking chair you picked out. Great job. I love your ideas. New isn't always best. There are a lot of people who just don't get it. God bless 💖
Hello from Alabama. Robert, you are doing a great job! I look forward to each new video. Not all people understand the purpose of preserving history. Your farm tells us an interesting story about the past. Every imperfection has a story to tell. Being a teacher and from the South, I can see the beauty of old southern homes and cemeteries. I enjoy standing back and wondering what history I can learn from places like your farm. You are very blessed to know some of the previous owners, so they share some of those stories. Not everyone can see the beauty the Old Byrd Farm holds. Keep on doing what you are doing. I can't wait to see what you are going to do on the inside of the house! God Bless
Large accomplishment in stabilizing the porch, as well as simply clearing off and sweeping the porch. Steps such as these really contribute to the overall improvement in appearance and home look to the property. Removing the trash is a great step in the right direction. 🤗
I lived in an old farm house with a similar front porch when I was a kid. There were two boards at one end of the porch that were rotting and loose...that was our favorite spot to play. My sister and I would take turns jumping on those boards and they never gave away. I’m sure I would not remember that porch as well as I do if my dad would have fixed those boards. Keep the flaws Robert, those are the things remembered. ❤️
Robert, you’re doing a great job! Not only your work on the farm but also the entertaining videos. That rocking chair fits the porch just great! Your side kick is such a character!!! Looking forward to more!!
Hello robert, i kook forward each day to watching you on the farm. Im a new subscriber. I love all the farm hands that i have met so far from the old machinery ,to the farm animals, to the help ,to the farm ,and all the old out buildings. Wish i could help clean and refurbish. Say hi to balou and jerry for me. Love that porch!
You are making great progress on the porch. Baloo is so cute and he loves his master. The noise of the nail gun might be loud to his ears and he thinks he needs to protect you.
Robert you're doing a great job. Ignore the negative comments. I love the porch you're saving. It's a piece of history for the house. Pet Baloo for me and say hi to Uncle Ken.
Just remind anyone who walks on the porch to watch their step on those two boards. I sure like that new rocking chair you got. Looks comfy. I get the best of laughter watching old Baloo. He wants to control everything. Well, now that’s done, what’s next at the old Byrd house? ♥️😊👍👍🐶
Have an old farmhouse and the porch boards had the same flex until we nailed them down as well. My farmhouse is maybe 1910 to 1920 and in north west mountains of North Carolina..but lots of family in Georgia. Grandpa house is in griffin...uncles in Jackson..Cleveland as well. Lots of beautiful old homes in Georgia. But a lot of the towns south of Atlanta are so ghetto and a little scary but would love to own one of the homes there if not for that fact..they are so cheap too, because the area I guess. So much history.
I’m dying watching Baloo! He’s just like a bulldog going after that nail gun. 😂 My back porch is my sanctuary so a fresh sweeping or cleaning up of junk the pig has messed up put there is a nice moral booster. Sometimes I feel like I can’t get anything done so I grab hold of the tiniest win I can find and hang on for dear life. It sounds stupid to some but it gets some of us through the day :) Oh and my dad always said that when he was a kid, they played under the house all summer. He said it was the coolest place on the property...except maybe the creek but I remember seeing cottonmouths almost every time I went to their creek in warm weather. They were quite common at the very least. I did play in it once or twice as a kid. It was coooolllllddd!
Yes, Barnyard Gal, those tiny wins are the only things that keep me going on some days! Our childhood memories are always a good escape. Thanks for sharing with us❣️
Robert, a suggestion. I was looking at the porch rail that is still there. Railing should be at least 2" to 3"off the floor to let debris and rain water flow. Saves your decking from rotting also.
Correct, it was originally spaced about 2 inches off the floor but has fallen. That’s actually another porch project I intend to tackle soon. On that old part of the porch.... we’ll fix em up the right way on the new sections when they get built of course as well.
Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but you can take a saw and cut the bead off of the old floor boards where it has bulked up. Then it will lay down flush so you can nail it. You don’t even have to remove the floor board to achieve this. Basically you are removing the part of the board that fits into the groove of the next board. I hope this makes sense.. I’m not a professional. Just wanted to share what I’ve done to remedy the bulking floors on my old porch.
Just found your channel Great Channel. If the house is Stable and Square the roof should be a simple job. lol Me I would then Blast, dry, sand, and paint the outside for Moral and Preservation. Thats just me. One section at a time. Great Job.
I think I remember from an earlier video where you went under that porch and determined that there was too long of a span between piers under there, and you wanted to add one more in the middle, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. But nailing down the boards seems to have done the trick.
No, you’re right. It is such a long span with no support underneath. However that wasn’t the bounce problem it was the loose boards. I’ll probably still frame it a bit more.
Just keep on keepin on and it’ll all be just fine and dandy, there’s always somebody that thinks they know best but they ain’t there pulling out splinters and changing tires and putting their heart and soul into the work, nor do they have your dream. One day people will come and see that place and be awestruck because you didn’t give up. Thank you Robert and your friends for both channels I love both of them
Good morning Robert, I have been following you for some time and just wanted to tell you I really enjoy seeing what you are doing and the progress around the farm. I feel it's your property and your choice what you do and how you do it, I'm just an interested spectator! Your place - your rules. Unless you ask for opinions or suggestions why would anyone else feel they should tell you what to do? I love what you do and choose to watch you and your 'helpers' keep doing it!!
The very nature of a comment section is to invite comments. Some will invariably be opinionated. That's the nature of the beast. If content providers don't want to hear people's opinions, then they just disable the comment section. It's all very well and good for Robert to do things his own way, but if he ever needs to have the building inspected and passed, he'll surely hear some very opinionated comments that he won't be able to ignore.
@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG Ah, I see, I was wondering about that, Robert. That sure gives you a whole lot of freedom to do whatever you want with the place then. Keeps it being fun!
Since the boards weren't tacked down why didn't you adjust the boards that are sticking up out towards the end so they would lay down? It may have been that way for a while but I'm sure it's not honest to the original integrity of the porch. That's dangerous to have that tripping hazard. Plus, it would just look better. And I just noticed that at the other end of the porch the boards are spaced. You can just push them closer to get rid of the "uprising". It was 100° here in New Mexico today.
The spaced boards at the end are not on that span. That area needs to be replaced. As far as adjusting the boards, I was originally going to do that but explained why I did not on the video.
cattle dogs are herders and protectors. Our girl Emily stays right by my hubby every minute of the day and even waits for me if I stay up downstairs after my hubby has gone to bed. She lies right by my side of the bed until I come up and I usually trip over her in the dark.
Brother I am not trying to tell you how to do home repair but I have a tip for the job you are working on Screws are the best for porches and decks cause they grip tighter than nails. Nails work loose from the weight of the traffic back and forth. Screws stay put .
Back in 1880, the didn't have tread wood, they used cider wood, termites don't like the smell. My house was cedar wood. I have a feeling you are going hit a treasury . I pray you do.
Per a couple quite frankly dumb comments on here, those bows have been on the porch since at least the ‘60’s. So you’re telling me after 61 years they suddenly became a trip hazard? Nah, they’ll stay.

@@decembergem4598 ❤️❤️👍👍. True.
I agree. I love the old look. Has more character to it. ❤️❤️. Lol. The porch has been there as long as I’ve been alive.
Straddle over it the legs of a stand/step stool holding a potted Christmas cactus. That what grandma did. ;)
Welcome to social media Robert. Comments (good and bad) come with the territory. Don't let your skin get thin.
the patina on the porch matches the trucks on the property...

Awesome that porch is now set for some porch sitting.

The house and grounds are looking better every video Robert!👏🐕
Hey from Michigan. You're doing great Robert. Every step is progress.
Love the new chair. You will really enjoy rocking on the porch. I know I would.

Hi everyone, love the new rocking chair Robert .
Get you some of that Baloo!🐕🔨😄

Right lol

Brother I am not trying to tell you how to do home repair but I have a tip for the job you are working on Screws are the best for porches and decks cause they grip tighter than nails. Nails work loose from the weight of the traffic back and forth. Screws stay put .
Back in 1880, the didn't have tread wood, they used cider wood, termites don't like the smell. My house was cedar wood. I have a feeling you are going hit a treasury .
I pray you do.
