In this renovation video I take you through the last 11 months of me repairing and rebuilding the front porch of my 1790 farm house. It was a great renovation project!

Its always tough gettin rid of old stuff . but common sense usually prevails . good ta see you laboring brother , and reapin 'the benefits ,
Must be an American thing, something that's 100 year old in England is just something that needs replacing. No one really considers it old
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
Its great to feeling to step back and see the progress of a long project you've been whittling away at for a year. Its looking great.
It's amazing that a porch built 100+ years ago was still serving it's intended purpose. Sure, it was drooping, but considering the length of time, exposure to the elements and use, it's a testament to craftsmanship. I love that you saved all the wood and posts. That wood tells a story and being able to repurpose it is awesome. Just about a month ago I decided to take on the task of enlarging my back deck. Something I'd never done before but watched enough TH-cam videos to get a good idea. The building went fairly smooth and the final product was as nice as I expected, however, my 51 year old body didn't enjoy getting back to work like that. So, I'm with you Jimmy, hats off to all the good people that make their living doing this kind of work daily. Really looks great Jimmy! The stone work is the perfect touch and a really nice contrast to the deck color.
👊🏼👊🏼
Man that porch will last way longer than 100 years. Great build and an awesome video once again.
It's more beautiful to see Jimmy work than the actual beauty of the project.
Also love when Taylor pops in to help.
I do this work every day and i love every minute of it…….i have my own deck company and it keeps me grounded and a hell of a exercise…
Thank you!
Beautiful eucalyptus! My redwood deck is probably my proudest creation.
you’re proving why standards and permits/inspections are very important. Back in the day, this house was built WO building standards per se.
Sitting around the big table on the back porch with a bunch of friends is one of my favorite things about a NY visit. Now all that extra new porch is bound to mean even more friends in the future. 😍👏👏👍
❤️
We love your old farmhouse! Happy to be a part of bringing it back to it's original glory!
Nice rap around deck I remember taking down an old mill house in S.C. When I was younger and we salvaged the whole house. Got all the rung and groves flooring and framing and one by 8. The house was built in the late 1800s. It was a lot of work. But fun finding all the old stuff in the walls as well.
Really gorgeous work! Those stone steps really set off the beautiful wood. Looking forward to seeing the rest. Great job!
You did an excellent work Jimmy! And the wood color is incredible. I'm looking forward to see the rest of the renovations.
I love these types of videos,actually watched from start to finish, can't wait for part 2.
That porch looks amazing. That was a lot of hard work for sure. But yes, you can set back and say I did this. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of good work, heavy and tedious but satisfying.
I also believe that the work of every specialist should be appreciated.
I was just watching a movie about a stock market trader. This is a person who does not respect work, creates nothing, and only lives by trickery others and gambling. The solid builder deserves more real respect.
so dope! love the random projects from time to time.
Looks great brother! Thanks for taking us through the process.
Thanks for taking us along on your porch renovation job, Jimmy 🙂
I gotta admit, when I saw the run time I passed initially. But I came back, and was locked-in for the duration. Thank you Mr. Diresta
✊🏻👊🏼👊🏼
A labor of love . Thanks for letting us look in now and then . Nice work ! Cheers
Shetland Saw Ponies! Sometimes you just need to bring in the bulldozer and start over. Lot of work. Fun project. Wonderful place to sit in the morning with a coffee.
Wow! Looking beautiful!
Everything looks amazing!! I love the constant wet look of the porch!,
Multiple kudos to you Jimmy on one hell of a deck renovation! I can't even begin to image the amount of work that went into that rebuild. That deck looks amazing! 👍👍👏👏🔨🔨
Jimmy, it looks fantastic and Taylor is killing it with the interior reno work. Can't wait to see the finished house!
Watching the restoration work is absolutely amazing. The care taken to bring back this old house just makes my soul happy.
This is super helpful, and enjoyable to watch. I will be doing this same project on my 1905 home soon as well
The deck looks awesome! I'm sure all that hard work you put in makes you appreciate it even more!
This is a really special video Jimmy. Lovely to watch.
you make it look so easy to do, great work! eager to see part 2 and columns installation
Love watching all the improvements being done BUT, also love when the animals are part of the video. Lookin good Jimmy.
Its cool to see how the deck came together, and the video production itself is fantastic. The way it was shot and stitched together especially over 11 months is absolute art!
Fantastic video. Impressive to see such a massive project progress over time. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful old home, well worth restoration. Nice work on the porch.
Looks like the homestead is coming along Jimmy, great to have such a hard working lady by your side to keep it going too! Plus, you shaved, makes you look a lot younger brother. Keep the updates coming. All best to you both! :)
Conservation is a part of beauty..and by the way, your hand saw (the blue one) is something else
Amazingly awesome. What a brilliant job with brilliant, honest, commentary. Can't wait to see part 2. Good luck.
Wonderful video Jimmy!
Enjoyed watching this you do awesome work 👍
Here in the South , black locust is used for fence posts. It never really rots. The joke is you put a stone near the post. When the stone comes apart you wait a few years and replace the post.
I made a deck once with black locust boards. I had it all cut 4 inch wide and tounge and groove. It was sanded and oiled. It looked really good.
Frank
Just a side note: Black locust bark is poisonous, particularly for horses.
Of note, the saw mill guys and installing carpenters were not happy at the end of the job. The wood is crazy hard and it dulls tools very quickly.
Looks great Jimmy. Nicely done as always. Very pretty wood choice.
Jimmy put in the time and muscle on this one 👏🏼👏🏼👑🥇❤️💯
Man you are right about 'stoop work' ... like harvesting plants or roots; anything you are constantly bent over for hours is grueling. I did some of it when I was an itinerant in rural New Mexico and Juarez. Hot.
that porch looks so good now can't wait to see the rest of the progress as wel
Huge respect and admiration for the work you all put into this. A great watch and feel humbled by our only 100 year old house. Paul Scot.
I passed by when I was visiting my uncle and I must say wow! Great job on the woodwork!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great work! I agree, once you get past 50, work like that can be brutal, and not nearly as quick as you want. Thanks for taking us along, and looking forward to part 2. Thumbs up!
Looks great Jimmy!
You’re a beast! Amazing job! Gives my 43 year old body no excuses 💪🏽.
55 😅😅
@@jimmydiresta And going strong! Great work.
Always a good day when I see a 40+ min DiResta video. Good job!
These old houses are like a pyramid scheme always starts with a small repair and turns into an investment. ✌great work
Looks great Jimmy! 😍👍🏻👊🏻
Nice jobs the two of you, place is coming along nicely.
That deck looks amazing. You guys did an outstanding job!
Terrific job, Jimmy D! 👍
Just finished building a deck last year (not a builder lol) watching this is bringing back memories.. very rewarding when it’s finished!
Great job Jimmy! Sometimes you have to live outside of your comfort zone and this is how we learn new things. It’s very easy to hire someone to do the labor, but when you do it yourself, there are many rewards. Bravo!
Great video. As a house builder and tree cutter. This is the type of work i love. Fixing og things 👌🤩
That is a beautiful porch. I'm glad to see a table in that wide corner, I bet it's the perfect spot for dinner in the evening or a nice card game.
very nice work . really like the corners . looks great with the linseed oil finish
I had done this to the porch on my house - about the same age house, but a log cabin, 4 years ago. Love the eucalyptus! Also the sonotube trick (only near the top) and that the harbor freight mixer is not junk :) Might have to get one...
"Learn a thing or 2 about a thing or 2" - perfect - wish that everyone today would live like that - it's good to learn something new, it's good to fail at it as well and re learn it again better.
This really takes me back! I grew up in upstate NY in a little town called Monterey. We ran into everything you ran into and more over the years of renovating. Our house was built in 1826 I believe. An old plantation home. This brings up fond memories of working with and learning from my dad. We did everything from foundation to roofing. I really wish I could stop by and put tools to work since I'm a huge fan. Unfortunately, by back doesn't allow for that much anymore. I have to stick to small projects. I really love seeing this project and others like the cellar door. I'm excited for you because the reward at the end is such a good feeling. I'm also excited about your success. Love your channel and seeing you on TV. Best wishes!!!
Absolutely love the stone work, really did a fabulous job and adds so much character to the place. Porch rebuild was enjoyable to watch too, excellent work with attention to the details. Should last a very long time and looks wonderful.
Yeah, I know he was looking for someone for a looong time, and it was clearly worth the wait, because it is really impactful work.
Great job on the porch. I had my builder put vinyl bead board on my porch ceilings - no paint, no rot, just annual pressure wash and looks like new.
J.D. if those timbers could talk, imagine the stories they could tell you.. Thx for taking us along on another adventure.. Glad u could save the wood...
Really a lot of work. Amazing effect. The quality of workmanship guarantees the next several dozen years of use. And this ecological idea with the use of old boat boards ... Great.

Really nice looking floor. I hope to see more off this type projects in the future. Peace!
I'm so happy to finally see a video of this project, after hearing about it on the podcast and seeing the Instagram stories!
Really impressed with how it looks. You have put so much effort you should be proud of yourself
. The old houses are really nice when there done but are really a lot of work. Got to love the horse hair plaster.
Holy moly. Great work man. I don’t know how you do all your other content and other projects. My hats off to you and your wife
Beautiful job!
Persistence Wins, well done and thanks for sharing!
Thats somethin else Jimmy. Man o'man that looks nice
Fabulous! Loved seeing the graft & tools & the linseed finish so brings the wood to its finest. Best is you know it’s been done well. I kept a silver birch near the house as my Mother planted it for her brother killed in the war but it fell 73 years after she planted it, the same age as when she died. Then I had to suffer insurance appointed builders. Super inspiring what you have done. Thank you for sharing!
wonderful work! looks great!
You really are something else Jimmy. My daughter's love your TV show. I liked the pirate ship and pizza cannon!
Great work brotha especially for someone that doesn't do that every day
wooo man that finish looks like glass. I love it.
Catching up on your videos and there was probably a home on the land prior to this one. That one could’ve burned down and then they built this one reusing some old lumber from the original house. Lots of history in these old house’s but beautiful homes.
Que increíble trabajo Jimmy!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Y gracias por compartir tus conocimientos así me animas a realizar mi pequeños proyectos de casa
Muchas gracias y muchas felicidades te quedo increíble ese trabajó!!!!
👍👍👍👍
AWESOME! While in high school, I worked summers in a cabinet shop. The owner walked around with a story stick like it was a security blanket. Back then, I could never quite get what it was about. At age 60+, I finally saw the light. Story poles ROCK, and they offer a great level of protection from yourself.
Incredible... I'm exhausted.
So glad to see this. Somehow I have been missing your posts.
Very beautiful job there Jimmy. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Fab On. Weld On
Keep Making. God bless.
Great video Jimmy. I loved every minute of it
Love projects like this
When you do something yourself, for yourself, you almost always get a better result, regardless of if you've done it before
That shot with the trees having been removed, I'd always thought that the house was a LOT further away from other houses.
This is exactly the type of work I used to do before three back operations forced me to change careers.
I would also cut the fascia boards at a 45° angle at the corners. You'd be amazed at the reaction of customers at such a small detail but details make all the difference!
I love your farmhouse! The porch is looking awesome Jimmy, and enjoying following along with Taylor’s progress on the inside too. 😍
Paige!!!! ❤️
Looks beautiful!!
Labor workers are everywhere...but, truly skilled laborers are definitely hard to come by.... in the end you can sit back and appreciate all of your hard work. Can’t wait for the Canoe build... 🛶
Amazing porch rebuild. I don’t think I’ve ever seen tongue and groove used for porch decking. It looks amazing! You’re right about working with concrete. Masonry too. It will work you to the bone! Especially if you’re not use to it.
Wow that cool.. my gosh,it´s was incredible!!!!!!!!
Great job man! Impressive
