I live in upper east Texas, near Louisiana. Last year, I noticed some demolition going on in an early 1930's era crude rock built house. I went inside to have a look, they were removing all the original tongue and groove wide paneling boards off the walls. Apparently a young woman who knows nothing about this subject thought that the paneling boards should be removed in order to put up drywall. I tried to gently explain to her that the boards were necessary to retain structural integrity and strength of the walls.

I have a 1916 farmhouse way out in the country. We have been fixing her up for 28 years now. Still not done. She was in sorta rough shape when we bought her. She was remodeled some in the mid fifties. She finally had electricity and plumbing added. Just think no plumbing or electricity for 40 years! They added an addition on to the back of the house that added a kitchen and mudroom. Then they closed in part of the wraparound porch to make a utility room. We had to rebuild the utility room from the ground up. Holding up the roof as we did it. Just finally finished the mudroom this winter/spring. It's my canning/food pantry. Yes it's big, but I do alot of canning. The house was sheetrocked when they did the remodeling in the mid 50's. But we learned as we did repairs throughout the house. That all our walls in the original parts of the house are all 1" thick shiplap. Yes shiplap. And we also have the fabric and wallpapers behind all the sheetrock. We have discovered the different 1916 wallpapers. Very cool looking wallpapers and borders. It's like being on an hunt of all the stages this old house has been through. Love old houses, such stories they can tell!

@4Freedom4All our house when we bought it had been neglected for years. The couple that built it in 1916. They lived in it all that time up to 1955 or so with no plumbing or electric. That is the time they finally put a road into our valley. Our house and valley was very isolated until then. Only trails going over the mountains around our valley. They had to use the lake that our house overlooks the arm of the lake that comes at the beginning of our valley. And they would use a small boat to get to the small town on the other side of the lake. So not much had been done to the house. So in the late 50's it was finally remodeled to some extent. Sheetrock, electric, plumbing. But they still kept the old windows. So then the hubby died in 61. Then she died in 68. Then it passed to her nephew. He was unmarried hoarder. He just let the house go. Then after he died in 88 or 89. Some people bought it that should not have been allowed to own a hammer. They cleaned out all the hoarder junk of over 20 years. Then they tried to remodel. Yeah right. So when we bought it. All the upstairs windows were falling out. The roof was going bad. The wraparound porch was ready to fall off. Some of the sill holding up the house needed to be replaced. And all the little work they had done was wrong. So we had to rip out all their crappy work. The 4 ft weeds and grass around the house needed to be tamed. And the bathroom downstairs was falling through. And we have done 98% of the work ourselves. So we do have a life too. And you get pretty burned out when you just keep seeing more and more that needs to get done. We got so burned out that we did no remodeling for 5 years! So to get this house back then. I had to promise my hubby that I wouldn't push to get things done. And I have stuck to my promise. And now we are down to the last 2 rooms to get done. So until you take on an old house redo. You probably won't understand this. After all everyone watches shows on TV where if there working on a house longer than 3 months they think it is forever. Yeah right. I see that and roll my eyes. And just a note. Our old farmhouse is the only old original house left standing in the whole valley. At least 6 other big old houses didn't make it to the 50's. They were all torn down and newer ones built in their place. So ours is a survivor. And I have felt lucky to have her. And I know she us happy we have her too. And Greta the original owner is glad too. She haunted the 2 guys that were living in the house before we bought it. They told us that every night they would be in bed upstairs. And would her someone walking up the stairs and walk down the hall and stop in front of their 2 doors at the end of the hall. And they would lay there waiting for the door to open. But it never did. They refuse to even come into our this old haunted house. That has never happened since we have been here since 93. She likes us. I have seen her come and check out her house from time to time. The husband and wife and their only son. Who died when he was 37 and never married. Are all buried down the road a mile from the house in the pioneer cemetery.

Always an apartment dweller in a hive community where things are done for him, till he met me. Welp, so many plans I had and was acquiring all the tools and starting to dive in, and I had a stroke. Took me a few years to recover and then realized that all that stuff I had in my brain had been deleted. It's like my brain was a computer that had a bad crash and lost all it's data. These videos are soooo helpful to inspire my brain in both re-imagining and in how-to application. You never know who you are helping when you publish new content! THANK YOU. I love that you aren't going to re-stain, but used linseed oil to bring out the literal hundred years of love in that wood. I would have worried over how to strip and stain and would have lost the soul of that wood, made a mess of it, and only been partially pleased no matter how well it turned out. thank you.

My 25 yr. old son is taking a free organic sustainable gardening course in Texas, given by our agriculture partnering with our main state university outreach system. I went to our local lumber yard and bought a gigantic wide board out of the cull pile to use as sides for the garden bed he built in his little apartment/condo backyard. He and his girlfriend had already built a little makeshift greenhouse out of PVC and patio shade fabric. You have your finger right on the pulse right now of what is going to be very popular and well received in the future. Young adults are paying attention to sustainable gardening and locally grown produce/communal gardening systems as food sources. May the seeds you start by doing this encourage that community toward healthy delicious food sources that maintain the health and well being of the people who grow, harvest and share it's locally sourced produce.

My daughter and I stayed in a very old cabin in Montana years ago. Part of the reason for the fabric on the ceiling is because of the gaps in the floor boards.

I see you are missing your front door hardware and I assume you will be looking to replace it with something that matches the rest of the hardware in the house (unless you find it in one of those piles in there somewhere :) ). If I have a set that matches I’d be happy to gift it to your restoration project. I have a very large collection and I’d love to contribute to this - or another one of your projects.

I loved this home immediately! Great explanation of "ship lap" and other wood details like the faux finishes, and more. I, too, noticed the Eastlake inspired details, LOVE. The pantry needs a library ladder! So glad you will show us some of the nitty gritty of restoration work. (Mmmm, smell that lind seed oil.)

Art nouveau style was most popular during the time period 1890 to 1910. So the picture rail could be original to the house.

These days when one looks at houses for sale, they have all been painted white and grey and had track lighting put in-no matter what era the house originally hales from. It makes me soooo happy to watch someone who wants to restore and preserve beautiful old houses. (If people want modern, white and grey, THEN BUY A NEW HOUSE!) I am truly afraid that my beautiful mission style American Four Square (1909) with all its quarter sawn oak woodwork, original leaded windows, oak and maple floors might someday be bought by someone who wants to paint the whole thing white and grey. I told my kids if they did that after I died, I would definitely be haunting them. To their credit, they said, "Mom! To whom do you think you are speaking! We would NEVER..." Thank god.

Restored an old 1889 Georgean timber double story home in Tasmania back in late nineties, how satisfying, redoing the lard walls, new bathroom etc. Wind the clock forward to now and I have been attacked by white ants, two builders say demolish, I showed them the door and started rebuilding the double story home from the inside. Those early skills learned held me in good stead. I have completed replacing all studs, joyces, main bearers, flooring, plumbing and now plastering, all by myself no help except my good wife. At 74 I am slowing down but have completed what two builders said couldn't be done. I have had a retired Building Engineer oversee what I did and offering advice, he was 94 when he passed away last year, I miss him. Love to watch how they work together, sharing chores. Love old homes, restoring or just renovating, how satisfying, well done guys, keep it up, I truely understand your joy.

When I was six, we moved into a circa 1905 rented house in Baton Rouge. It too had paper over barge board walls in very bad condition. I watched the paper hangers redo them. After removing the old stuff, they hung strips of DRY cheesecloth, somewhat tautly, with blue carpet tacks top and bottom. They then hung the heavily pasted wallpaper over the cheesecloth. My mother thought it was the worst papering job she had ever seen. It did look a little sloppy, saggy and rippley but, as the now wet cheesecloth shrank and the glue dried,the paper smoothed out perfectly. P S: l am now a North Little Rock Arkansan by choice.

Literally stymied by the fact that the most recent owners turned the house into a closet in order to live in a bungalow. What the heck?! My parents restored an 1850 Victorian farmhouse in New Jersey near the Delaware. It made me swoon to see the bullseye molding and stained glass, as our house had the same. My parents bought our house (ours no more :() in 1972 for $23,000. I just looked it up and it just sold for $340,000. I'm so glad there are people out there doing the important work of restoration. I cringe at so many of the HGTV shows where they just rip out things willy-nilly. My parents painstakingly (and with zero instruction) taught themselves to do everything from glazing windows, to laying brick, to installing fireplaces. Oh, there is nothing in the world like an old house brought back to its glory. I can't wait to see what you do with this! I can tell you're kindred spirits and that you embrace my parents' ethos that the past is to be treasured and curated..

Jamie, I get what you feel. I grew up in a beautiful turn-of-the century, 2-story Craftsman home. It had stained glass windows on either side of the huge brick fireplace, a dining room with French doors, swinging mahogany doors on either end of the big kitchen. 2 secret rooms where my parents hid Christmas presents, a big, original pedestal sink in the upstairs bathroom-the kind people pay big $$$$$ for nowadays, and much more. Sadly, it had to be sold many years ago after my parents died. My mom and dad bought it for $14,000 in 1958 (their mortgage was $75/month) and it sold for well over $100K about 20 years ago. My aunt on my father's side lived in another beautiful Craftsman, the same one that she and my dad grew up in. It was another 2-story beauty that was designed and built by a popular local architect/builder back in the late 1890's and early 1900's. That builder was my great-grandfather. I loved that house too. It was within walking distance from my house and from our grammar school so as kids, we spent time their often, getting spoiled by my loving aunt (much to my mother's chagrin). It had a terrific front porch with a swing, a massive front door with multiple glass panes, a big dining room with gorgeous light fixtures and a huge, curved bay window with small diamond panes; INDIVIDUAL diamond panes, not the faux ones sold today. It was a beautiful and safe neighborhood back then in the late 1950's and through the '60's. There were wide sidewalks and lots of lovely shade trees, 3 of which were gorgeous maples in the big front yard. They shaded the house beautifully and allowed windows to be left open when it rained. Those trees are now gone. Such is "progress". As an adult, had I been able to buy that house (or the one I grew up in) I would have and done everything I could to restore it to it's original glory. I'm retired now, living in another state, so it was not to be. Life often happens when you're planning something else. (sigh) Perhaps down the road, people who buy these houses will recognize what they are and restore them.
