1800's Farm House Now What To Do?

[@tonycurtis6898]

Keep up the great work

[@eugenewilson9677]

I would leave one wall in one room vintage looking like with the pieces of plaster missing and maybe clear coat it to preserve it...it would look so cool to have a piece of history left in that beautiful house! 👍🏼

[@AesirKing]

I've noticed a couple new bars around me that serve a lot of craft beer have gone with that look. It looks nice.

[@eugenewilson9677]

@@AesirKing it looks great to preserve a little bit of the history 👍🏼

[@richardbruzzese3404]

Definitely on the fireplace exposed to Red Brick I think it'll look good in an accent wall too it's coming along great keep us posted great job

[@hddm3]

Awsome work so far. Amazing what you have done

[@lowrider9249]

I got mine Friday too! Its my new favorite T-shirt!

[@mattd1999]

Hey Jared, The gap on the wood floor is for expansion during humid days! DO NOT fill in the crack or your floor will buckle because it has no room to swell. Use 1/4 round attached to the baseboard only to help cover the crack if it still shows after the baseboard install. Good Luck!

[@02donph]

Looking good......

[@ct895]

They make mortar in a tube Like a cocking gun really easy to fill cracked crevices And holes did it on my old house works great

[@wolco003]

I got my new favorite shirt in the mail yesterday and wore it today. Great quality, looks and fit! Thanks Jared!!!! I think all your ideas on exposing the brick are spot on (aesthetically at least). The brick arches are neat. HUGE project but the old farm house is gonna be something really special.

[@rene-yvescote3954]

As far as how it looks like inside, I mean red bricks, arches etc, it is your house and thrust yourself , The main thing is that you will be happy. Good luck. I love it so far and fully support all your choice.

Use Duro-bond for patch work

[@benderbender1233]

progresss is always cool!! 🤘😎🤘

[@rexfranks1159]

I would expose the brick, but to put in a window through that brick wall would be expensive, because you would have to put in a lentil to hold the brick above the window. But it could be done. If you do, install lentil first and then use a partner saw/ cement saw to cut in the window. Good luck, and thanks for showing us your progress.

[@timhooks6952]

Enjoy your videos.

[@mikeshaffer2950]

Pull the plaster, put cast iron gas burner stove with bread warmer in top, put the blue plastic sile plate insulation on wall up by joist, make template of ceiling joists ( like piano keyboard), then place cut wood in to make weather an finish look.then on white patch on back house I'd paint your shirt logo, an finish with (green an white lamp) light to wash it at nite.

[@Frank-mt4qf]

Yes. Bring that brick out It looks classic. Get rid of the plaster. Love it bro

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

All good ideas u present .... Baseboard./ Foam ...and show brick 🧱

[@eugenewilson9677]

It would be like a huge old picture of history

[@brianfrazier5215]

For floor joists upstairs paint what you got.. buy 2 inch Foam Board cut with stiff sawzall blade.. paint it for instant gratification or rough cut drywall and caulk and paint..

[@rexfranks1159]

I sold 2 bikes yesterday. A 1995 Electra Glide and a 2002 Road King. I used to work hard a buildings, but now that I'm almost to retirement age, I prefer learning and working on motorcycles.

[@straightpipec6099]

Definitely like the original brick exposed.

[@jasonmushersee]

yeah at least 1 exposed brick wall and period correct furniture thats always the hard part but gives the whole house its vibe its not just a building its a work of art. spent weeks trying to decide on a nice one of a kind mailbox post then came up with one now entire neighborhood copied mine still have to remodel the kitchen want to go with a 1800's wild west bar theme

[@dannpd1955]

You do have your hands full for sure, but you are certainly able to pull it off. Looking good.

[@fluxburner1636]

Hey Jared, I'd say pull the plaster off that wall. A oven in front of brick is always a good look. If you don't like it, you can always replaster it back later. In the ceiling joists you could use some of that old lumber and cap/cover the brick in-between the joists and that would kinda finish it out. That would also let you foam any open holes in the brick and cover it up and give you a line to butt trim against or plaster up to without trim. Keep up the great work.

[@bobbyboston9155]

Fix your walls 1st. Going back to furring strips and sheetrocking maybe the answer. Either way finish the walls and rub jamb extensions on your door frames to flush then add your exterior trim and interior casing. Then baseboards last. Super rad project.

[@johnkelly6942]

Keep chipping (literally!) at it! You do have your hands full but I’m sure you can get it done. I would concentrate on getting the building sealed up/weathertight before it gets too cold.

[@angusandleigh]

....I'd go for the two interior brick walls exposed...you could even replace the wooden trim bits (I forget what they're called) that covers the brick going through the doorway with some 1/4" plate...get it formed for the arch and cut...heat it right up and then oil bath it.....then on the one brick wall that has the two doors, in between the doors maybe a cool wood booth with an old industrial light (old green enamel shade)...and a woodstove that can double as a bit of a cooker...you could cover that big white patch on the back of the house with a big wood storage rack (would look best if you happen to put a porch/veranda on the back...could even build a cool outdoor BBQ/kitchen along the back wall of the house (I did that here and during the summer the stove in the house hardly gets used)...

[@bendaves77]

If it was me I'd take down all the plaster and lath then acid wash the brick and then seal the brick walls.. be really cool looking having those old red bricks as walls with some of the old growth wood floors and trim

[@bendaves77]

I wouldn't take the chance in media blasting any of that brick.. muratic acid wash it.. use a bristle brush and you'll be surprised how great it will look.. acid takes concrete off brick homes such as splatter when pouring a new driveway etc

[@barfass]

I say chip that off and make that an "accent wall". Cheesy to say, but it would look very nice right there. The kitchen idea is a good one. Be nice to keep the wood heat in some way shape or form. Would hate to run ducting if you were to use an Outdoor water heater (wood). but It could also heat the garage!

[@gunslinger6307]

Jared Yes remove the plaster as the wall of Brick is definitely the way to go shows character and beauty of the old house good luck

[@davidson2004fatboy]

SLOWLY BUT SURELY Bro.,👍 ALL TAKES TIME , MONEY, and BRUTE LABOUR. 🙏

[@williamsnyder9103]

Expose that red brick! Total old school.

[@williamanthony5021]

Please most of all take care of you ,be safe then knowing a little bit about you go with the flow but please don't exhaust yourself ,thank you and see you next video . Signed ,Rocco the hound dog and Wild Bill

[@jimwhitaker4254]

Chimney brick is my vote, just saying

[@bobbyboston9155]

There is a specialty brand of concrete and patch products called rapid set. They make a lot of products and always a great seller for repairs. Might look into that brand

[@bobdicker3118]

hell of a job.....be proud of yourself.....but i think you need a break ....go work on one of the bikes.......

[@arcticenterprises2337]

Yes expose that red brick. Get rid of the plaster

[@bendaves77]

You need a old wood oven and cook top for your kitchen and then you won't need the power or gas

[@johndragon3900]

I would get rid of the plaster.

[@GJM866]

On the outside white square of paint, you think paint stripper would work? I've never used it on brick, but always have great luck with it on other stuff.

[@hddm3]

Yes please exspose the red brick man.

[@brianfrazier5215]

Leave brick on back wall... Consider kitchen on wall drive way or opposite.. that's where you wanna look... Keep people out..

[@stevenflauding9010]

check out Chem-Stone - Lefty- (Under the Blood M/M)

[@jfrost77hd]

What is that? You commented that on another video of mine?

[@stevenflauding9010]

@@jfrost77hd It's fake stone that's flat on one side. It's put up with adhesive then you put chink (a sand- caulk mixture)around it. You can google it. It comes in different kinds of stone. In door or outdoor. Your building has real potential. You can't tell this stuff from real stone.
