How did you butt-up the rockwool to the existing brick? We're looking to do something similar. Cheers

Have never heard of a window buck. Thank you for sharing this video. The Blue Skin looks really good.

As long as it does not damage anything, there is no such thing as overkill with insulation.

Great work!! Every detail helps.

Spooge into it!

'Incredible overkill' 3:23 seems to be an understatement. I am impressed by your quality standard, but at the same time can't help thinking you may need therapy.... Outside or wet environment boxes... OK, but conditioned air interiors ??? I am now very curious what percentage of plastic receptacle boxes are sealed with putty. I would be amazed if it was more than 10%.

So when did they send out the crew of pick up carpenters, hopefully before you issued Payment. Lol.

How did you get the window sills to be flesh the exterior insulation?

Hope they flash over the insulation onto those bucks which I would also waterproof as this is a really critical detail.

Belt, suspenders, and elastic

What tape/flashing detail did you do on between the foundation and sheathing? How far does it run up on the sheathing?

Ugly

These framers are terrible hope you don’t hire them again

I'm speechless.

Yea no thought in this box should always be a min 16 on center not 24 .also way too many windows no where to put bed dumb design considering it's a box not rocket science .

Looking good that’s how to mock it up get a feel for 👍

I heard you just spent your 1st night in the house. Congratulations. I'm so happy for your family. The last 3 videos I just watched show lots of detail. I'm happy to see original doors and other items in the house.

Once screws and or nails penetrate thru. it’s air and moisture performance is compromised not self sealing

Never heard of fentrim before. Looks like useful stuff.

My bad just saw the foam sorry

Where is the foam sill seal & termite shield 🛡️

Nice install of that Comfortboard!

Looking good did you cavity rock behind the brick veneer also. Going back 10 years or so Hammer & Hand pioneered strapping on top of Rockwool with adjusting screws to get it flat

Is there a reason why you are doing two layers of fenrtim?

[ANOTHER] 200 Years & Counting Pretty neat! Where is this house?

All of this wonderful insulation but then there’s a massive hole in the form of a fireplace?! Why?

So awesome, Ia loving the plan and the original floors. Underground wires are also such a great plan and will add to the look of the time when the house was built.

Love how the floors are coming along...it's coming along 🙂

Ia loving it all and the addition of the original doors and window is so wonderful. Thank you for the update.

Yay! Looking good...love the doors and trim 😊

🙂

It's great to see how nicely they cleaned up the brick and maintained the original pattern

Coming along nicely

Love the colors...

My vote is the color on the right in the living room and the left in the dining room, but it’s hard to tell over video. And Ollie remains adorable…

Love the doors!

I prefer the lighter yellow and the lighter grey...but that's my 2 cents

A general comment. The colors in place when you purchased the original house were circa 1950-60. I remember the house prior to that time as being much lighter. Mostly wallpaper, I believe, in a nondescript cloudlike pattern. Woodwork was a very subtle grey. You probably never came across the original woodwork, as Aunt Millicent and Bro spent countless hours, over many years, scraping the original paint off prior to applying their paint selection.

I think we found 4 colors that we can cross off the list. Maybe I'll change my mind in the light of day, but I doubt it!

Congrats on the completed siding, so nice!

Nice tutorial feel to this one, appreciate your dedication to maximizing the original materials

Too bad the initial frieze solution didn't work out - glad you noticed so quickly and came up with a new solution

I would be out of breath from all the steps. Keep it up. looking good.

Good morning Dusty. Thanks for sharing the updates. It looks like it is coming along nicely. I know you have had to deal with setbacks and shortage and pricing and yet you and your family are closing in on the finish line. It is also nice to see some of the original items back on the house. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for showing how you are restoring the woodwork and combining it with the new wood to maintain the historic design. I love how the old and new come together

It looks beautiful with the old woodwork back up...can't wait to see it all up.

Sorry for the poor audio quality! Didn't realize it until I posted...

It was great to see the drywall up...things are progressing again 🙂

Love seeing the journey back to life, and what an amazing bonus with the basement
