[@pjay4972]

lookin real good. that`s goin to be one nice house when its done. thanks for the up date. have a nice weekend.

[@rexfranks1159]

Nice work, I'm originally from Alliance OH. We lived in an old brick bungalow and was in some state of remodel for years. I'm in florida now but miss the seasons. I've been fixing up old houses my whole adult life. And have done well with real estate. Just lucky I guess but I had 2 sons that I always paid to help me. Homes and rental properties. I miss those days of working with my boys.

[@jfrost77hd]

I always wanted to fix up an old property and to have some land. I found this place for about the price of just land since everything was neglected needing repairs. I've jumped in both feet staying committed, definitely taking longer than expected but I keep chipping away. Thanks for watching, I'm sure your boys cherish those memories aswell!

[@marktaylor8659]

You are one hard working man. Great job on all that cleanup and I'm looking forward to seeing how that kitchen comes out. Since those live edge rafters with the shims have held up for at least a hundred years or more, I'm sure there's no structural issues. Keep up the work.

[@jfrost77hd]

I appreciate it, I still might swap out those live edge joist down the road but I've got bigger fish to fry right now. Thanks for watching!

[@bobdicker3118]

your doing one hell of a job man....you should be proud of yourself...........

[@jfrost77hd]

Thanks I appreciate it, lots of up and downs for sure. In time this place will be real nice...

[@eugenewilson9677]

I can imagine the history that went on in that house ...its just awesome what your doing...I personally would rather sleep with Harleys and make the house a Harley museum hell I don't know...it all looks dam fun!!!

[@jfrost77hd]

I know alittle history on the past few owners but it's crazy thinking a couple hundred years ago what things were like here. If the walls could talk...

Bulit my own home ..did drywall .. wife and I ...when I was young ... We Tore our House down. And built one in the same place ... at least you have a good old house . Always wanted a farm house .ours was a bad old house LOL

[@jfrost77hd]

After getting all the initial nasty stuff out of the wall it's been surprising how good the bones are to build from. I'm still in over my head but been fortunate 😂

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

@@jfrost77hd well that's what my wife thought too he's nuts one Sunday morning after church I knock the chimney off the house and I started cutting the roof off. That was 25 years ago maybe more now. But something had to be done cuz the house was real bad I only paid $19 for it in the late seventies. But it's got about a third of an acre and if that time it butted up to a railroad line that went to a lumber yard. That's gone now they took it out and made a running trail or walking trail goes up into Michigan and down into Notre Dame and then toward Indiana. Well she said if you're going to do this we better go get a giant tarp cuz it's bound to rain once we get this roof cut off. And it sure did took all summer when all the way to the ground and started fresh and went straight up and build a two-story under the big tarp. Had a lot of help from the kids in the neighborhood though... Best of luck on your build........

[@bbgdaddy5198]

just an idea but you could box in those beams that have the live edge with some rough cut boards to make them look like a larger beam.

[@jfrost77hd]

I agree I was thinking about trying that. I have some big beams, was trying to figure how to skin the rough sawn faces without going to a saw mill. Maybe a jig and a chainsaw 🤔

[@tonycurtis6898]

Awesome!!!!!!!!

[@straightpipec6099]

Very cool house and your making damn good progress on it considered you are doing most of it yourself. Those shirts are cool and make good riding shirts so people need to buy them up.

[@jfrost77hd]

Thanks I appreciate it buddy! There's days I feel defeated or like I'm just chasing my tail but in time it will be real nice.

[@wolco003]

Cool shirt. Couldnt resist!

[@jfrost77hd]

Thanks I really appreciate it, it's headed your way! 👍

[@dannpd1955]

Hey Jared, Ive got 19 laying hens and have found that boiled eggs are a good way to go.Also Shired eggs are good. Look up the recipe on the internet. You are making progress. All good keep up the good work.

[@jfrost77hd]

Very cool, I have been boiling them lately too. I looked up shired eggs, that's pretty cool I'll have to try that. As always thanks for watching buddy!

[@barfass]

Awesome to see you again. That garage is looking sick. You have brought that property a long way from when you first drove up in the old pickup. Cheers man.

[@jfrost77hd]

Where there's a will there's a way 👍 Thanks buddy!

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Love my honey in my coffee 👍🏍️✌️ Well done sir ....

[@jfrost77hd]

Me too, I've been putting it in/on everything 👍

[@rheidtech]

Yeah fir the ceiling down. Make sure you have everything done upstairs you need access to before sheetrocking. Find and treasures when demoing? 200 yr old artifacts stuck in the walls and ceilings are cool.

[@jfrost77hd]

Yeah I'm still not sure which route to go yet, probably just get it suitable for the winter to be clean and keep a fire going. Surprisingly really haven't found much, a quilt and a real old Civil War looking coat in the attic but they were so chewed up I tossed them. Found a few real old bottles in the yard but nothing to great yet.

[@rheidtech]

@@jfrost77hd did you sift thru the insul and mouse shit? Lol. Usually find half dimes, porclain doll heads and stuff. In ceilings that fell thru floorboards and at the base of each bay.

[@jfrost77hd]

@@rheidtech No definitely not lol, it did cross my mind that I hoped I wasn't overlooking things. Most of the original baseboards were still square nailed in. One of the walls that had it removed has no drop through to the cellar that's full of stuff I thought I'd look through before closing it in.

[@kimberlygarner2723]

Hard boiling eggs and making pickled eggs with beets help them last longer and gives you a little variety. I also heard about eating local honey to help with allergies. My daughter used to go to Aullwood Farm to get honey to help with her allergies. Nice seeing all of your updates. You've made a lot of progress!

[@spacelab2756]

You might want to rig up some way to hoist up firewood and remove ash. You’ll hate carrying it up those stairs I think. A plastic bin and a davit outside the window would be slick.

[@jfrost77hd]

I was thinking the same thing 👍

[@joecoolvette6107]

Get your double-pane Argon windows set in the living space (room) you're going to use. Buy STRAIGHT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I recommend the one in Lindsberg, Kansas> Columbia Windows & Doors. Don't know if they still do, but used to have a deal you can buy 10 windows for $1000. Standard sizes. Double-pane, Argon filled, tilt in to clean panes. Most places those babies are $240+

[@angusandleigh]

...hell man, it's coming along alright!...it's in pretty good shape once you've gotten all the shit out of the way...I remember that it looked a little hard up in the beginning with all the layers of junk that had been added over the years... I think that it will look pretty decent when it's all said and done. Keep after it my friend. Cheers.

[@jfrost77hd]

Hey thanks Paul. This room had drywall dated 1961 and wood paneling dated 1966, that's the last time things were touched. I've been fortunate and pleasantly surprised with most of the bones once all the nasty stuffs been removed. Hope all's been well my friend!

[@angusandleigh]

@@jfrost77hd ...yeah all is well, busy...but alright...yeah once all the details get sorted in the inside is done she'll be a beaut!...ever think of blasting the paint off the brick?

[@jfrost77hd]

@@angusandleigh The white paint on the back of the house that square? I've thought about trying some stripper but have my doubts. I think a media blast would probably be the only way to blend everything together. I did see where corn cob media is used on old brick like this. I think it would need to be something soft like that or walnut shells? Part of me is like screw all that since the rest is already painted white. Since it's mainly just that white square though part of me wants to try. Any Ideas?

[@angusandleigh]

@@jfrost77hd ...yeah I think she'd look sharp with the natural brick and white or even black trim...you could even try some vintage colours on the trim as it may look better still than a simple white or black... ...not sure one what to blast with, but I'm with you on a softer material...might take a little longer, but it'd be easier on that 200yr. old mortar...been thinking of blasting my current place as it has that white 'glazing' and doesn't look great...least on this style of house... ...another thing you could mess with is leaving any interior brick exposed (can't remember if you have any after the 'extension' came down)...it sometimes can clean up real nice...

[@MyDyerMaker]

Your work ethic is admirable. I'd think you could use some cheater boards between the joists if you needed more floor support. I guess you'd have to sheetrock the ceiling though, or at least sheetrock in between the joists .

[@jfrost77hd]

Thanks I appreciate that! Yeah I'm kicking around ideas, may replace those couple joist or just reinforce them. I like the exposed look but sheetrocks an option too. We'll see, really just need that room good enough to have coffee by the fire this winter until I figure out what's best.

my brother did this mother in laws old house everyday after work/weekends took 2 years countless trips to home depot when it was done she sold it

[@stinde666]

I admire your energy but it must be nice to fix it for yourself , it’s going to be sweet 🎉

[@jfrost77hd]

I appreciate it, I knew I'd have to do the majority of the work myself because I couldn't afford to fix this place up paying someone. It's came a long ways but I still feel like I'm just chasing my tail at times.

True, and when fuel goes up so does concrete.

@@MyDyerMaker my neighbor's a contractor small usually him and one other guy but he was told the shortage with concrete is the problem there is a one of the components to make up concrete is in short supply.. at least here in Indiana.

Keep up the good work. Sucks to hear about your concrete. I have a buddy that does concrete idk how far you are away from the dayton area but if your looking for someone he might be able to get you fixed up. He's not the cheapest but he's damn good.

[@jfrost77hd]

Hell it could be the same guy lol I'm just north of Dayton. I'm setup with an Amish crew now at a fraction of that cost. I appreciate you reaching out though and may touch base if they fall through too.

I'm glad I came across your channel. I love seeing old things brought back to life. You're doing a fantastic job also. Do you by chance know what year the house was built in?

[@jfrost77hd]

Hey thanks I appreciate you watching! I'm really for sure, I did find an old county map with the property on it dated 1850 so I know it's at least that old.

Use some of the original lumber you saved from the addition and box in the floor rafters and then they'll look like much larger beams

[@thespiritof76.]

Maybe look into water glassing your extra eggs?

Go check out killer bee guy who has a channel here on KZbin.. he's down in Arizona and had bees for years until they became Africanized and now he gets them out of people's houses etc and saves the honey and pollen etc. He sells the honey and the polen on his website and many people say that pollen pellets and nectar are great for allergies and inflammation along with many other things.

[@jfrost77hd]

Very cool I'll check that out. I thought about selling some myself, right it's suppose to be like nature's medicine.

[@mikeshaffer2950]

Was that the second year take, after the hive had a year, you could hard boil the eggs, an pickle them, even color to match holiday. Times change people forgot how to help their neighbor, good to know you are wearing a mask. I've had that crap on my chest before.

[@jfrost77hd]

This is the first year, the bottom frames were about full when I got them though in the spring. I've been boiling the eggs,I've never had a pickled egg I might try that too.
