I’m so happy that entire property is still standing amid all of the development surrounding it.
Agreed!
For me, my context is, my Grandfather was born in 1889. He lived during that transitional time. This project is so cool, and am so looking forward to this. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching.
Having the stabling so unchanged in a developed area like that is astonishing. How fun to see!
Agreed! 100%
In St. Louis, the horse and carriage houses also had their own underground gas tanks and pumps because gas stations didn’t exist yet. As for repointing, be sure to use Type O on the soft interior brick and Type N on the exterior. My full masonry house is 1903.
What type would you use with new brick on an old house? Have to remake the piers under the columns when house is moved.
@@jennafarrell4755 Your mason should know how to handle modern brick…it’s probably Type N, which contains Portland. But I only know about old brick like mine. Sorry I can’t really help.
No worries, just making sure it won’t look too “new!”
@@jennafarrell4755 You can color the mortar to match the rest of the house. The type of mortar you use has to do with hardness. You don’t want the mortar to be harder than the brick or it will cause the brick to break apart.
I never knew that, cool!
This is going to be a super cool project, Brent. You had me at Carriage House 🏠
SAME!! ♥️♥️♥️
haha so true.
Just the stuff in the attic could fill a museum display.
I agree! So fun.
Crazy how well that was preserved. Glad they have you involved now to make sure things are kept that way. Amazing property.
I agree! 100%
Looking forward to seeing the progress!!!👍🏻
You and me both!
This was an awesome tour of the stable/car garage! I love seeing the excitement of the the architectural finds in the loft and how they tell of the past!
Us too! THX!
Wonderful! We love this channel. Makes us treasure our gilded age home even more, knowing others do the same.
Nice. Glad to hear it.
Thanks Brent. I am really enjoying this series.
So glad to hear it.
Wow can’t wait to see the results
Me too. Thanks.
Fantastic video...... These homes are so beautiful...... We look forward to all of your fantastic videos. God bless 🙏
Thank you so much!
Can't wait to see the progress!
Me too!
I converted a granary into a stable for my sister's horse. I can testify that horses indeed love to chew on wood.
Haha, thanks for the confirmation.
Hey Brent, when you re-tuck the brick are you concerned that the new mortar will be harder than those old bricks and with freeze and thaw cause the brick face to spall off? I've seen that happen before and wondering how you accommodate for that with new mortar? Its an awesome Carriage House by the way.
No, we will match the historic mortar and use lime not portland. The spalting you are describing happens when the mortar is harder than the brick. Our lime mortar is a soft mortar. That is one reason why it is no longer there. Thanks.
Enjoyed the tour of the main house last week. This was so interesting. You were like a kid in a candy store, and I don't blame you. Those puzzles (what is this and where did it go?) really engage the mind. There are still iron horse tie rings set into the cement curbs in front of several of the 1911-1914 houses up the hill from my street, which was still an orchard in 1925.
So cool. Thanks.
I'm a tarrant county guy and I really enjoy your channel
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Love work on this place
Us too!
Another inspiring video thank you
You are so welcome!
the mortar has to be softer than the bricks. if the mortar were harder than the bricks, then the bricks would fail. i learned this years ago working in the french quarter.
True. Called Spalting bricks.
Developer “We’d like to buy your property.”
Owners “No.”
Wonder how many times that conversation occurred in the lifetime of this home.
Haha, too many.
Hi Brett, what are the finish colors for the carriage house? They are inspiring! Thanks 🙏
Still in process. I'll let you know.
Great attic finds, but I'd hate to be up there during the dog days of summer.
NO DOUBT!!!
What kind of mortar are you thinking of using for the repointing? Will you go with an NHL mix mortar or replicate the original mortar exactly?
We will test the mortar to get the exact formula then match exactly. Thx.
Let us know what happens with furniture if it gets auctioned or sold maybe interested in some of it.
Will do. Thx.
Horses and cars?? The hybrid car of the past.
Haha, true.
It’s such a stark difference between this property and everything surrounding it. This house has character and vibrancy. Everything surrounding it is bland, soulless and depressing.
Yikes! Right?
you know its texas because there are parking garages right next to it, hate the state.
Boo...
