Love the presentation of your story of the bell. Remember well, when that style of bell was common. Thank you for sharing a wonderful memory that you and your kids will enjoy for the rest of your lives. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
What a great doorbell!It's totally perfect for the off grid house. It's beautiful too. It reminds me of the one at my aunt's place in Ireland. Not sure where you got that but it was an awesome find. Your home is coming along beautifully Heath. The heart and soul that you have put into this shows in all the little things you thought of for it along the way. Nicely done! - All the best. ~ Theresa
The bell!!! I bought the same bell for my house about four months ago. Now, if you have some spare time, I need someone to install it. It can't be that far a drive from Idaho. Actually, who needs batteries, you can hear the darn thing throughout the house - including the basement and all the bathrooms at exactly the wrong time.
This style of doorbell, though nowhere near as ornate as this one, was on many a door right up until the 80s/90s in Australia (or at least in my neck of the woods). Thank you for jogging a memory. I'd never really noticed the lack of these style doorbells until now. Oh, I deliver goods to households, so I tend to come across a variety of door knocking devices LOL.
Ohh My Goodness..LOL My grandpa's shed had a bell on it just like that!! I would sit on the ramp and ring it and ring it!! VERY Cool!! Good Job! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Have a Blessed 2018 too!!
This is the exact type of doorbell I plan on getting for my house. I have an old friend in New England who had a doorbell like this and I swore that I will get one like it when my husband and I get our homestead. :)

Off topic a little but have you looked at building retaining walls with rammed earth filled tires? Easy to get tires by checking with shops, posting ads or checking for places people dump large numbers. Once build easy to cover ether in plaster or rock so could build retaining walls that look like rock to make level areas or retaining walls along the road you are building up the hill. Most places you can build a under 4 foot retaining wall without needing an engineer to be involved but if you are using for the road you would want tiebacks into the hillside to reduce the load a vehicle places on the wall. Could also be used for a root cellar into the hillside as once plastered no one would care how the walls look and they are better insulating then cement block.
My sister an I would play this game when we when we were very young,,, taking turns who goes out side an crank the door bell,,,, from trick or treat,,, to hears your paper,,,, and sister saying nobody's home lolol,,,,,thank-you for sharing this.
Watched your efforts from the start. I have to say that what you have done is very impressive. You deserve all the happiness and rewards of your homestead for years to come and to top it off with that beautiful doorbell just about sums it all. While I am sitting aside my pool in sunny Australia I wish you and your family all the enjoyment of the season. Happy Christmas and a prosperous new year
Sweet upload. Thank you for the tutorial. Hope my installation goes as well. Glad I live in deep South Texas though. That scene looks real cold. Pretty, but burrrrrr. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
I want a bell like that ,, and I like what you and your brother are doing , and your attitude to doing it your way, your family obviously like snow but can I suggest you have a look at Oppenheimer ranch project on you tube , the world is heading for an ice age that could slowly effect your road access and your area in general ,, doesn't hurt to be aware
A house we slmost bought (1950s) had one, its the only thing i wish i could of taken lol. Im planning on installing one on my side door since my front has a camera
Good Find! It's something my now passed father would have appreciated very much, he was a joiner by trade and as such made many wood doors himself, he also learnt me many of his wood working skills in my growing up, and although this was not my chosen trade (Chef now retired) I still have all his tools, some of which he hand made (various wood block planes), these he made as part of his apprenticeship and used often until he passed, and now I use them and keep them sharp for my DIY and I will hand them on to my son when I pass to keep them in the family.
That music was so overly dramatic. It was intense though....It was scary not knowing what that crazy door was going to do to the bell or was the screwdriver just gonna lose it an take everyone out...One Word = Riveting
Those kiddos are just so stinkin cute......... & I love the door bell too
love how you take the time to buy stuff that makes a house a home
Love the doorbell.
love that bell, neat neat neat
Had these on all my homes growing up in New England. They are just great, simple and straight forward. A+
We've had a couple of them. They are fun.
Terrific, the best bell that's been rung of the season!

We had a similar bell in a house built in the 1800's... keep it simple stupid... KISS great designs last forever.
Totally awesome video with your kids! Where did you get your door bell from?
could you please make longer vidio's
I don't know if it is the best, but is sure super cool. I love the old ones. Your's is in amazing shape! Is that a reproduction?
Almost forgot...Merry Christmas
yes
Door Bell very much in keeping with the/your style, did you find it new or second hand
new. reproduction
Good Find! It's something my now passed father would have appreciated very much, he was a joiner by trade and as such made many wood doors himself, he also learnt me many of his wood working skills in my growing up, and although this was not my chosen trade (Chef now retired) I still have all his tools, some of which he hand made (various wood block planes), these he made as part of his apprenticeship and used often until he passed, and now I use them and keep them sharp for my DIY and I will hand them on to my son when I pass to keep them in the family.
cute video
My grandma and grandpa had one similar to that , not as fancy ,very cool !🙄
Ha Ha! Nice one :)
That music was so overly dramatic. It was intense though....It was scary not knowing what that crazy door was going to do to the bell or was the screwdriver just gonna lose it an take everyone out...One Word = Riveting
HAHA!
Who's the Grumpy guy who lives in that new house ?
Thats what they said!
Ding Dong Ditch
Perfect! Christ is Born! Glorify Him! May your family be blessed my man.

Merry Christmas to you and your family God Bless
Merry Christmas!
