- While removing the bookshelves and fireplace mantle, we found a secret hidden door and compartment. We had no idea it was there for 2 years!
We would love to hear from you :

I'll be checking all over that house for more hidden compartments
I think that's where the previous owner hid his first edition books haha. 😉
HAHA, that is exactly what I said when we found it. Wish they were still there.
What an innocent mind you have, it would obviously be for alcohol
@@melfarm9109 Yeah, if it were the Prohibition perhaps haha. And thanks for the compliment, all praise be to God.
Playboy and hustler had first editions.
Why?@@ciaobella8963
That plywood looks newer than the 1930's even for being hidden behind the mantle. My guess is there was originally a fireplace or a wood stove inside the mantle when the house was first built. Yes, commercial plywood became viable in 1934, but didn't take off extensively until post WWII. When they took out the original fireplace/wood stove insert they built that box with the fake marble (also doesn't look to be 1930's) and when they did so they added the secret compartment.
That was fun! That's something that every kid dreamed of, to find a hidden door ❤❤❤
Did you see Nate's reaction, he was so excited.
@@TheKraemerLife I could feel it!
What a brilliant place to keep your valuables 😊
I own an 1820's Brick Farmhouse it has many secret compartments. My son has lived there for 2 years and has not found a single one. I will never tell him where. Love the Oak Mantle, Hope it was not destroyed. Sat Down at my drafting bench and drew the plan. As a woodworker this will be a fun plan for my house.
Handy for hiding your valuables. 👍
I have seen very similar set ups simply for liquor bottles. Sort of a nice display for when company comes by, you open the little door and the light illuminates the expensive bottles.
That's really cool to find hidden secrets. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks! Will do!
Good that the two of you experienced the excitement of hidden storage.
Very cool. A safe keeping place. I was going to guess prohibition stash but too new.
Hidden moonshine first came to my mind, too!
We guess it was built in early 2000 when the prior owner added the bookshelves and addition to the house.
Maybe you guys can put another hidden hole someplace too? Leave a letter or a time capsule of sorts. Yes, you may live there forever, but who knows what will happen in the next 50 years? You could leave something for others to have fun in finding.
I think that the prior owner may have done that when he built all of this...we shall see if we find something else squirreled away.
Georgeous fireplce, mantle and exquisite wood work decorations.
Thank you very much!
I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought "Put the candle back!"
Hidden treasures back in the day.😊nice find! Although empty, it's very intriguing for sure
😊
YEs, not what we were expecting when we started our day.
Back in the day with LED lightbulb and IKEA hinges.
How will you use this hiding place for yourself? That’s like having a room size safe in your house.
Oh wow!!! That’s crazy to have found that secret door. Too bad there wasn’t anything hiding in there. Yes I am sure there will be many more treasure hunts on your property just waiting to be discovered. And looking forward to you next up coming project on the house. I just love watching house demos and remodeling. And just homestead projects all together. Your channel is one of my favorite channels to watch you rant #1 in my book. Have an awesome day and will be waiting for more videos to come take care😊
Thank you so much! Yes, I think this property is a huge scavenger hunt and we will continue to find odd things as we clear and rennovate.
They may be as lucky as me. I have so many hidden places in my house, that was build by a bootlegger. I just posted about it. Even an entire secret room. He even had a speakeasy in what I call the cottage, he had dancing girls according to a neighbor who was 100 years old when I moved here. From the outside it looks just like a small normal house of the Great Depression years.
My parents last house had 2 hidden stairs.One was a narrow one between twining room and kitchen.It had a door and it went up to the master bedroom bathroom or closet.The other one went from that bathroom to the attic.The house was built in 1900.
@@hattiem.7966 Isn't nice to find things like that. People from quite a while ago had imagination.
I built a decorative fireplace mantle along with bookcases for a client. If you stuck your head up inside the fireplace the top lifted out of the way and there was a space on either side to stand rifles up plus shelves for valuables. The top was labeled “ No fires” Decorative fireplace only.
Sooo cool!! 😊
I was just waiting for those mirrors to fall and break.
Yes. Should’ve removed them first and got there sooner. Eh?
What a neat find even if there were no actual treasures.
That’s a beautiful old mantle!
Awesome videos Nate your narration was very good.
Great job, now you have shown every one about you secret space.
It doesn't exist any more...we didn't plan on keeping it.

AMAZING Secret & Your Hard Work is with Extol!.😊
The Journey so far has been Awesome!! ❤
Great progress guys 🎉 warm and weather proof, animals and land on track 👍
Thanks
Really cool the other owners put a secret compartment in the fireplace but definitely newer since it has backerboard from 15 years ago behind the compartment.
How cool is that?! 👍😁
COOL FIND!
That is actually pretty cool!
Cool find. You guys are doing great work! 👍🏼
Thanks! 👍
How awesome is that ❤
I would for sure go through all the books. You never know what is hidden in them.
So cool! Blessings!
Great job. Keep making it your own place.
Luv you guys ❤️
Fabulous... Really enjoyed it thank you 😊
🐝 Thanks for the great video 🌻 what a nice secret!!
Thanks, we thought it was cool.
That is so cool!
That's awesome!!
Good thing you didn’t try to use the fireplace. That’s a great find!
The fireplace is just for looks no function.
Good afternoon Nate & Katie
That was very exciting.
That is so cool.
mJ growing area? Matches the “paint” room in barn. Great find
What an interesting find. Love what you done with this property !!
Thanks, we thought it was cool.
That was quite interesting. Was so hoping there would be something of value for you inside. ❤
It was a fun find, we also would have loved for the shelves to have been lined with some form of value but it wasn't anything we expected so a fun experience.
Very cool thing to find
I would of kept this private. You could of use it for your self. A safe. ✨💖🥀🌹❤️
I would have as well!
We planned on ripping it out so no need to keep it secret.
What an awesome find. I would definitely leave it there. It would make a great safe. Sorry there wasn't a bundle of cash or something of value that could have been turned into cash. Have a Blessed day.
I thought it might have been for moonshine!
@@margaretepting9387 Maybe it was. LOL. It would have held quite a bit back there. Hmmm....a side gig for Nate maybe????
It was cool finding it, a bit of a bummer it was empty but we were not expecting to find anything so we were happy for a cool surprise.
Interesting find.
cool hidden spot for sure hugsssssss
That's where they used to hide their moonshine at you know the good liquor. Or other things.👍👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
That is so cool
Nice Job
That's really interesting what else will you both find 😊
Right?! I am sure there will be little surprises all over this property.
Oh my, that is so cool.You've got to keep tdad
Very cool
Thongs change scent from one end to the other. Knowledge is power. God bless
😮very cool
Very nice mantle. Love it.
How Exciting! My mind was racing thinking of what he may have kept hidden in there!
Right!? We were excited just having what do you think was there conversations. Pretty interesting that someone went to that much trouble to build something like that and it be empty.
Exciting find.💕💕🌻🌻
Love the hidden shelves
WOW 😲❤
Beautiful wooden mantle 😊 love refurbished old homes
Me too!! We hope to reuse it in another project.
I love this house. So many cool things
It is an odd place, very quirky.
Really clever
Pretty clever little hideout.
Very cool !
A good place to hide guns
Awesome video
Ooopps to bad no big cash find, Another great day on the Homestead
Right!? It was just a fun find.
Great idea!
That would have both scared the pebbles out of me, and excited me to know that there could possibly be other secrets in and round the home/property. Very cool find!
AMAZING
Wow, That's exciting
What fun to discover! Who knows what else you'll find.
Yes, we anticipate more treasures or at least random finds as we continue to explore.
Cool 😎
Love the bookshelves.
that was a beautiful mantel
Such a beautiful mantle. I hope you keep it
Yes, we are keeping it.
I would not have shown it, you had the perfect hiding place for valuables not now. 🤷🏼♀️ I think you all have done a great job on the homestead and love the renovations.😊
Some old houses had secret compartments in the dining or living room for booze during prohibition.
Civil war homes in the South may have had compartments to hide gold and silver from Yankees.
The facade without the sun porch room would be so nice. I wonder if the sun room was added. It seems to have been.
That would be sooooo cool
Cool
Whoo-hoo! How exciting! 😊
THats cool
Great job on the video 👍🏼
Glad you liked it!
Looks like a place to hide Moonshine.
That’s where they kept the good stuff ❤
I like that mantle. Hard to find a pretty wood mantle. I hope you will find use for it.
We will keep it for sure, possibly for a differnet home.
Great video so cool
Thanks.
There’s nothing better than finding a good old hidey hole❤
It made us speculate as to why it was built in the first place.
Clever👍
What a trip!!!!!
Really cool!!
My house has a secret compartment that my landlord and landlady showed me when they were showing me the place. It's come in handy and is a cool thing to have. I always wanted a secret compartment in my home.
Nothing was in there when I moved in, although I do make good use of it.
Cement backer board may be as a barrier between the exterior wall , moisture.
That board and fiber board are VERY new. As well as the hinge on the mirror is made in the last 10 years. I was probably made just to hide something small like a gun or safety box
I wouldn’t have shared that to the internet for views. I would have kept that a secret and reused it! Now everyone knows about your secret space. 😂
Agreed!
I'd never let people know about something like this or about any food preps I'd have. The way the world is these days demands discretion and secrecy IMO.
We shared it because we took it down, we had no need for it.
