      ​@@1927suHopefully you knew what you were looking at, This character is OK but the one's in Britain in their 20s are absolutely clueless never seen a fan heater before never heard of Tchaikovsky, Discovered vinyl and a vinyl player, I told him records and record player, Swan lake,1812 overture must have heard them in assembly at school presuming he bothered with school

      Brief sketches and memories of my earliest childhood years here. Wish they could have lasted a little bit longer so that they were more of a permanent memory. Grew up listening to classical music on vinyl like Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart, etc. Grandparents had a player piano that played a lot of classical pieces.

    That old fridge is from the 50s. I have very fond memories of ours when I was a child. The pink stove is also 50s.
    Those keyhole covers are called escutcheons.
    What a beautiful old house, and still solid enough that it's fixable, if someone has the funds and tenacity!

    • @nadinemasteller1089
      @nadinemasteller1089 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It is still fixable as you said. Sure would need some insulation in the attic. I owned a similar old house that is still occupied by the people we sold it to.

    • @brendatomlinson
      @brendatomlinson ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep ours in the 60s was Magnavox! The wood case gave such a great sound to my mom’s Dean Martin, Elvis et al records. It was hard to unload that sucker when my mom died in the 90s and everyone was abandoning vinyl.

    Judging from the beams in the basement and the solid roof still there. That house could be saved. It's framing is solid as heck so it could be reconfigured for modern taste. Close to the road, but so what, a lot of houses are. And that lot, trees, big yard. Kids would and probably have loved it there. Good video Kappy. And Kappy, I don't think you have ever said,...Do you live in an OLD HOUSE?

    Wow. I loved this house. Would love to see it restored. Loved the Stereo and the pull down lamp in the living room. The Main roofs look newer. like maybe just before it was left. Looks like it was last lived in maybe the late 80s, early 90s.

    Cute little farm house. Love the wrap around porch. Its going to nature but I think a dedicated rehabber could buy and save this old house. A lot of great features and lots of bedrooms and mattresses..Farming is a dying trade now. I imagine A large family living here in its early years. Still cozy and charming even in its disrepair....Must have been Beautiful in its glory years...

    Yep that’s a coal furnace, there was on similar to that in an old house I lived in, and the ashes were called “klinkers” anyone else recall that?

    When I saw the amazing condition of the attic, I was wondering if this old house has a slate roof? I couldn't tell for sure from the pics on the outside (but, I don't think so?)

    It's very interesting that a lot of the furniture is left, but it wasn't left in place and has been damaged. There are a couple of pieces in there I would love to have. The water table in the kitchen and the matching utility cabinet would be wonderful to have. My family always used a water table. That's where we put our buckets of water to drink and cook with when we didn't have running water. The end tables in the living room are from the early 60s. I actually had the same style of wardrobe at one time that was in one of the bedrooms.

    Hey Kapster
    Greetings from Oz
    We don’t hv raccoons in the walks but we have pesky varmints called possums ( opossum family )
    Love the vibe in the home non threatening just family oriented
    The pink magic chef vintage oven looks anywhere from 30s through to 60s handsome range of appliances they had up til fairly recent I believe ; pink in all its shades is my fave colour
    Take care of dodgy floors my friend 🙋‍♀️

      I feed the possums and raccoons at my house every night. I put it out front under the carport away from the backyard so my dogs don’t bother them.

      Opossums aren't pesky 🙃;
      they're extraordinarily beneficial to humans 💞 :
      • Reduce Lyme disease-carrying tick population ... eating nearly 95% that cross their path.
      • Resistant to snake venom, and eat venomous species.
      • Extremely low-risk of contracting rabies.
      • Keep gardens blooming by eating snails, slugs, insects, and fallen, overripe fruit.

    Wow! What another cool find & explore this is! The kitchen was done in the 1950s judging by the sink, metal cabinets, pink gas stove, & refrigerator. The toilet in the bathroom upstairs is a 1950s Sears/Homart/ Universal-Rundle forward trap toilet. As for the toilets in the upstairs hall closet (or toilet room, not sure what it is or why there would be extra toilets stored there) , the look to be Briggs toilets from the 1970s or 1980s. Judging by the fact that the house has no radiators and the large original coal-fired furnace with duct work, this house had a coal-fired forced hot air heating system, which was later upgraded to a modern gas-fired forced hot air heating system by the addition of a modern gas furnace while still using the old duct work. The GE fridge in the basement easily dates back to the 1940s or 1950s. Interesting old house. I really enjoy your videos and how respectful you are.

    If I had the money I would buy it, then set up a trailer or RV next to it (to live in) as I completely remolded that house. After I was done, move in. The views out those windows are excellent and refreshing.

    The appliance colors I've lived through are white, copper, avocado green, harvest gold, almond, black, stainless steel. Somewhere around the copper and avocado eras there was rust/burnt orange, but we never had that. My mom had to have every new color when I was growing up.

    Good evening, Kappy! This is going to be fun!
    That Kelvinator fridge could be from as far back as the early 50s and, if restored, could be worth in excess of five grand!
    This house is blessed with a sound roof, which is quite unusual for us to see. Its location in that broad valley is very pretty and when it was well-tended, would have been quite picturesque.
    Thanks for the great explore, Kappy! I can almost see all the rooms made up and ready for guests.
    Great wallpaper, too! I'll be Ruby was happy to see all that.
    All is well in my world. Thanks for your concern, my friend.
    Until next week, be careful as you explore.
    Love to you and Ruby, too!

    Interesting thing about old houses with wallpaper. Wallpaper was originally figured as a kind of insulation. Many homes wallpaper the ceilings because of that idea.You also will notice that the homes of the late 1800s and early 1900s had there bathrooms upstairs and not on the main floor. This would seem strange if you figured you having guest run upstairs to use the restrooms until it dawned on me that most all places until the 50's had a outhouse as well.Even in small rural towns.e
    The best thing about these videos is your appreciation for the little details that added character to the homes.Even rundown and dilapidated you see and share the beauty you come across. Modern built homes totally lack that aspect as most are built looking sterile and clinical, hotel appearance. The carpentry back then was craftsmanship done with pride.Each carpenter has his own unique style and left his fingerprint on the building.Look at the brickwork on the top of the chimney. They made the effort to make it special.
    I am always fascinated by the work they did and by restoring the old homes you discover the lost techniques making each home a educated experience. I sure do appreciate your work on these videos. THANK YOU.

    I have neardie TH-cam friends/technicians who would love to get a hold of that stereo to make their own TH-cam Restoration video. Did you know you could cut off a piece of that wallpaper and take it into a home improvement store and pay to have it reproduced ?.I can't help but think about the family that no doubt has Long died off. kitchen Aid is what Sears used to call their appliances. My grandmother used to buy all her appliances at Sears. Thank you for the video Kappy stay safe.

    The house I bought in upstate New York 7 years ago and have lived in ever since also was built in 1870, also housed for a time a medical practice on the first floor and also has a history as a boarding house (predominantly for Erie Railroad workers). It has been a real money pit, unsurprisingly, but I love the building, its character and history, and wouldn't trade it for anything.
