I have sold antiques for many years. If you are getting rid of the shelves, please get someone to give you a quote before you sell. I live in Virginia, too .I know how much any items from old stores go for. Those shelves are a gold mine. Love your videos😊
I would be saving all those small trim boards you cut up for firewood, for use upstairs later. Or even downstairs. Trim is like the most expensive wood you have to buy later.
Ms Emma: to make some tasks easier, one would be to pull that wood storage freezer box away from the brick wall a few inches to the lid will open freely. Also gather all the hardware pieces you come to find door knobs, hinges,… all in one box you may be able to utilize them for a project.(those clear plastic casters are not very desirable but if you have 4 then keep them) good luck.
So glad you got the wood stove working, it's a game changer in the winter. BTW, don't get rid of the old tools you come across. Lots of refurbishing channels on YT with great tips on how to bring them back to their old glory not to mention their value.
Do not burn shiny magazine pages, especially ones with dyes, just regular newspaper. I also save all the empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls, stuff with dryer lint, flatten and use with crumpled newspaper! Do not burn wood that has been stained, treated or painted. Be very careful with kerosene, just a careless spark will create a dangerous fire. I won't have it in my house. My family has old fishing camps on a lake in Maine, heated with wood stoves, we know how things can go wrong! Get a magnetic temperature gauge to slap on the stove pipe, will help make sure you do not burn too hot. Doesn't look like you have much flat space around the stove pipe, might be the angle, but I use two little "heat distributor fans" on top of my stove which turn with the heat generated and fan heat out into the room! Get heavy duty tarps to cover your wood piles and use heavy leather gloves to grab the wood (avoiding snakes and other critters) and I use them to place additional wood into my wood stove! Good luck!
i know the internet is just full of advice but I can't resist ;) if you pull your outside fridge away from the building a few inches the lid should stay up on it's own
Ohhhh yes that’s a railway nail!!!! We got about 25 of them by a railway close to where our boys go to school and r going to use them as hooks for hanging things on!!!!
spike, ya'all. rr SPIKE. my dad worked for santa fe, out west, all of his life. i was just handling a spike he had mounted in a picture frame/shadow box that he had collected from a now defunct line in so. calif.
Im pretty new to your channel and dont often comment on things but watching you and your dad together makes me so happy. Im 31 and mine passed very unexpectedly in September. Its strange knowing its been months but the hurt is still there like it was last week. My relationship with my dad was similar to what it looks like yours is like with yours. He had the answers for everything and I could ask him for help anytime for anything and he would always be there. Its strange how we appreciate people but a lot of times never say it enough. Good dads deserve to be told how much they are loved and appreciated. Mine knew of course but given the new normal I wish I could tell him again, just one more conversation. I know you understand with the passing of your mom, the healing journey is a long one. Anywhoozle, your videos are great and calming & seeing the progress you are making on your property is fun to watch :)
slap two 2x4s behind your wood freezer, the pressure will hold them there, and you'll protect your bricks from the lid hinge and be able to open and close it easier.
Sash and Door was a building supply company in my hometown of Emporia, VA. Keep doing what you're doing. Grieving a loved one is very difficult. Put it all in God's hands, and he'll help heal your heart. God bless and I'll be praying for you.
Read a few of the comments n the one about the shelves is a great idea in using it up stairs. I have to admit this that I love old things. I think I was born in the wrong era. But I’m hoping that you’ll try to keep much of the items in this old general store than you can. Of course I don’t know how much appreciation you have for old things n antiques. Seeing that you are in the younger generation you may not care for it. I love it because each piece has a story to tell, just wish it could talk. Either way it’s your place n your right to design anyway you want. That’s a very nice wood stove you have. I hope it’s keeping you warm in that old building. Take care Emma n God bless. ♥️🥰👍🌟
What an adorable personality. Its cool you are so close to your dad. The episode of you working together was to cute definitely showed the difference in approach to things. I love finding stuff and trying to figure out the history of it. Your excitement when digging stuff up keeps me smiling. I don't drink coffee but I lift my lemonade to mom, no doubt she is looking down very proud of the beautiful woman she created. Thanks for sharing this journey.
I know you are trying to save as much as possible and sell some items. Could you burn cardboard instead of the magazines 😊. Loving your videos. Cheers to you and your Mom 🙏 So glad you have your Dad close by. ❤
Great progress!!! The Best fire starting that has worked for me in my life is: Fatwood(which is pinewood), sticks(1 or 2), and a 1 lb propane torch to light them. This is very safe and efficient. Best of luck with your project 👍
I love that you are taking such a careful approach while doing the cleaning and sorting. So many just have a dumpster delivered and start chucking. It will be fun to see, as things progress, which of these wonderful old artifacts make it into your decor. Glad to see you now have a heat source! It just makes everything better, doesn't it? :)
I'm one of those that has the dumpster delivered. I can tell you at the rate she is going, she will be an old woman before she gets this place done. Most of the stuff she is fascinated with is obsolete tools and junk and very little of it has any value. As someone who has repaired these old buildings I can tell you time is of the essence. I wish this girl all the luck in the world but she needs to quit playing around and get serious about what she is doing. Yes she is doing a lot on her own but much more should be done by now...even though it is just her. No hate meant, just the plain truth.
The drill is called a brace. You attach an auger bit to it. The tool you didn’t know what it was is a saw set. It is used to set the teeth on a hand saw. Cool!
Emma we need to get you a 2 wheel wheel barrow they are a lot more stable and carry a lot more too. Also for the big leaf bags they make a folding wire stand to hold them open, tractor supply or amazon has em in all price ranges, but they make life a lot easier instead of putting them in trash cans. Its so rewarding to see you and your Dad interacting on this project!!
@@jodirauth8847 For Fun, I spent a couple of hours drawing up Plans for this property. lol Something to do. Wrap around porch balcony stairs, a double rolladoor garage and Now Three French Doorways, Shop Front and all. lol Its what I do.
I loved the taste of that birch beer flavored medicine. That and St. Joseph's orange baby aspirin. I ate a whole bottle once as a kid ... I was 4 or 5. Yeah, the dangers of making kid meds taste too good!
Think about where you are storing things so you aren’t constantly having to shift and move things around. Ex: where you put the wood in the shed. It’s in a place where you could put something much larger.
To build a long lasting fire. Build a good base of larger pieces of wood. On top of that base, put on your kindling and fire starter. Start your kindling fire as it grows put on your bigger pieces on top.
Please be careful with the open stove door! Sparks can pop and shoot out and start fires, especially with the magazine there. You need larger pieces and as someone else said, keep the doors closed--both the stove and the building doors. Retains heat. You can also put a fan at the back of the stove to move the heat into the building more. Good luck! Love your videos!
I believe all of the bottles you found are old medicine bottles or possibly had cleaning agents in them-such as bleach (before plastic became popular)… so many exciting treasures you are finding!!👏🏻
👍👍👍🫵🪨👁️❤️ it. You know you’re never gonna warm that place up if you keep the doors open number one number two leaving the doors open on your stove there your woods always gonna burn really quick. You gotta close the doors. This way the wood takes longer to burn. The heat of the stove itself will warm up your building. Sincerely, Chuck.
Some of those blocks of wood look like they are higher quality hardwoods that they are turning blanks for a wood lathe. If they had a waxy paper covering on them they definitely were. I was drooling over several pieces that I'd love to turn on my lathe. The approximately 3 food long pieces with spindles on the top were for making furniture and for trim.
You’re doing very well. It might speed things up if you put all the bits and bobs in containers and examine them later - it seems to distract you from clearing the place by looking at them. I’m sure most of those items can be sold. ❤❤❤❤❤
So many interesting things to be discovered! carefully decide locations for items, so you never want to move things more than once. :) so many things I think about, when I look far away. things I know, things I wonder, things I'd like to say... I am enjoying the path and pattern's, love your expressive tastes.
You are finding some wonderful old tools the drills are called brace and bit drill,the big nail is a railroad spike the little apron is a nail apron carpenters would keep the right nails to use for the job
Your “big nail” that you found on the shelf is actually a railroad spike. It’s what holds the rails down to the wood crossties. 😊 Those old rusty tools can be soaked in oil. It will stop the rust & free up any moving parts that may be stuck. Used motor oil from your oil change in your car works good for this. After soaking, you can set the parts & pieces on a wire rack in the sun to drip dry. If you let them drip on wood, then the wood makes a good fire starter after soaking dry for a few days.
When using that orange “chop saw” or “miter saw” remember to tuck your thumb on your left hand. Many experienced carpenters have lost thumbs using those saws.
@@farmerbill6855 oK, Bill, then don’t do it. I have been around used motor oil, asbestos, bird & rodent feces when renovating buildings for 74 years and have never been sick. So, to each his own.
Instead of using kerosene get you some cotton balls and some Vaseline and roll of cotton balls in the Vaseline. Light the cotton that has the Vaseline put it in the stove.This will be your fire starter I use this method when grilling or camp fires. You can make them in advance and put them in a zip lock or storage bag to store them.
That poor little doll has had it rough 😂. Looks like there’s so much cool stuff to look through in that building I’d love it lol I wouldn’t know what any of it is likely being English but still old stuff is always cool to find
🇨🇦 Seeing that the clear liquid in that bottle is thicker than water it could be Nitroglycerin. Be VERY careful with it as the older it gets the more unstable it gets. NG has "shock" tendencies meaning you drop it it may and probably will explode. It is used in the making of dynamite. Ask your dad what to do with it, he'll probably know. Cheers to your Mom and mine!
Chesterfield cigarettes no longer exist. My husband has this old black n white military tv show from back in 60's and their sponsor was Chesterfield cigarettes! They had a jingle, too!
You’re sniffing more as you clear and it might be the dust mites! If you take an anti histamine at the start of the day, that will help stop any reactions to the mites in all that old dust 😊
I can't be the only one naming the things she was holding in front of the camera. Everything from a bit-and-brace (drill), railroad spike, door lock escutcheon, plumb bob and more...and I sure hope those blocks of wood she threw in the stove weren't something special like rosewood or an exotic species. Wasn't uncommon for old stores to carry them for projects.
My thoughts exactly on the wood. I turn wood on my lathe and I recognize several blocks of wood as wood blanks for turning. I nearly cried when she threw some into the fire 😞
The cigarette prices sound like the prices my parents paid in the early 1960s, I think. The glitter acrylic wheel made me think of the little plastic kitten heel play shoes, also from the 1960s.
Cigarette prices in the 60's were around $.25 a pack. That's crazy compared to $10. a pack today! Smokers have it hard in many ways. Y'all need to quit! ❤
Emma, Have someone put a damper on the stove pipe. You can control heat and your firewood will not burn up so fast, you will stay warm longer. Right now the way it is, your heat is going up your pipe and out. God Bless you and your dad! (Glen) WV.

I’d keep them. They’d be great to store seed boxe etc, etc, or to move upstairs to a kitchen setting, eg as a fabulous room divider in that huge space
Anyone in their right mind would keep those shelves!!!!!@@42apprentice
That's a great idea. I'm going to try and use as much of them as I can! and thank you very much! 😊
I would be saving all those small trim boards you cut up for firewood, for use upstairs later. Or even downstairs. Trim is like the most expensive wood you have to buy later.

I'm not going to lie you are living my dream to be going through all them antiques. I love your videos thanks for sharing.
Love what you are doing. Nice to save any lumber or wood trim you find and you will need it later ...when you are doing renovating in this building.
I love your channel! I also want to say, thank you for making it ok to be sad and excited about the future all at once. Keep shining ❤
i really appreciate you mirroring that to me and i'm glad i can be that permission slip for others, too. thank you! 💕

Love watching you fix up this place and can’t wait to see you turn it into the gem it is!
Emma, you have such an amazing dad! I really enjoy and appreciate his teaching us how to do stuff. 😊
Hey Emma so happy to see you in good spirits, .....that place is full of treasures! Go Stellers (your dad's cap 👋💖
Liquid in that bottle was probably cod liver oil, it was used for treatment of rheumatism

Cheer's mom..
Hey Em, It's a really great building, congrats on the fireplace too.. heat is good..
🙏❤️😁
If you place the snow covered logs on the top of the fireplace it will help dry them
Greetings Emma, another great video, like you miss your mum. I miss my dad,keep up the good work, every little bit gets you a bit further,
Love your videos and your working with your dad.
To build a long lasting fire. Build a good base of larger pieces of wood. On top of that base, put on your kindling and fire starter. Start your kindling fire as it grows put on your bigger pieces on top.
Back to reality! whit this project! embrace it whit love
If you read the comments, I think that wooden thing knife, was the start of a wooden propeller for a model airplane. I think. From,St.Paul,Minnesota.
I have used dryer lint in toilet paper rolls or home made wax candles or with sawdust/woodchups
Those wooden forms you called a duck are most likely the heads to hobby horses.
Wonderful ideal to turn it into a flower farm

Dont cut off the tip of the pointy wood stakes. You could make a cute little picket fence with those.
Please be cautious with that puffy coat. I melted one to my arm getting too close to flame. You need a different kind of coat around flames

An old bit and brace drill. 😊

so cool!!
Do you have a video of the upstairs? Curious to see it.
That first tool is a drill, the nail looking thing is a railroad tie.
