When filming 11 min & around 54 seconds in this video, showing Brook talking about the lime wash, on the exterior wall, I have to say I was disappointed that the camera mostly showed the ladies heads & faces and not showing the wall while explaining what she was talking about, u briefly for a few seconds of the exterior wall,& should have focused more on the wall of the house so we could have a better understanding what she was trying to show us 🤔

Todd and I talked about Catherine and Everett Ratcliffe and how relaxed and gracious they were to the group. He spent so much time talking with us about his Civil War relics, and about the history of his farm and the area. The rain did not hurt the fun at all! We just loved that weekend! Laine and Kevin were both absolutely amazing during the cemetery tour! Kevin was so funny, and I really didn't want Laine's part to be over. I could've sat and listened to her elegant, southern drawl for hours! The progressive dinner was out of this world, and the concert by the mayor was wonderful! We just loved it all!❤

To hear you say the words ‘humble farm house’ 😮 I just measured a house built in 1834, the original part of the house was brick stairs in the middle and a room on the right and left of the stairs. No kitchen. When you showed the milking house I got really excited behind the original brick house folks have added on and behind that there are 2 small foundations. I’m certain one was a milking house! I wish I could have you two for an hour to tell me about this house. I think the original owner was a fan of Washington’s Mount Vernon. He humbly built a federal style but then later someone added the Greek revival elements. The new owner is going to flip this house, I hope I can encourage him to restore as much as possible while he strives to make a more functional home for the new owners. ❤

As a fellow dark-haired gal (who is also an introvert), I squealed out loud when I saw you in that glorious dark red period dress! Stunning is too tame a word. The Cemetery tour/pageant looked wonderful! Your event for like-minded people looks like it hit all the boxes. I have to say, that while many people are minimalists and descry having lots of 'stuff', you are a kindred spirit with your excitement over pairing up historically significant antique pieces to create the right ambience. It is a gift you can give to others, to help them see and feel what the past was like. I haven't seen To Kill a Mockingbird (love Gregory Peck) for decades. You've inspired me to explore that story again. Hope you can get settled in your temp home, and rest up. Cheers from California. :)

Hello! I recently discovered you after finally setting up wifi, and watching my fav Friesian Horse channel on my TV instead of my phone. My all-time fav TV show is This Old House, I only subscribe to Old House Journal and (not related)buy old bulb varieties from Old House Gardens. I live in an 1870s working class Vic, in Wisconsin, which we're always doing something with...waking up the pollinator landscape is on at the moment. I really enjoy the consistent quality of your video productions, from lighting and shooting at the right time of day, to gently zooming in on particular architectural details and the music you pair to the home. The guided tours you produce are also fantastic, but you have a stunning, photographic and knowledgeable host in Laine. I love when you do hands-on tips, such as the Newel post and woodwork cleaning, and of course, when you get into the meat and potatoes of replacing floor joists and not being defeatists about the scope of a project. I really think that your program would be a great series for PBS. We have 4 tiers of PBS programming in Wisconsin and I think you could find a home there on Create, where shows like 'The Legacy List with Max Paxton' flourishes. I could go on and on, but I won't, but thank you for the joy of your projects and for helping preserve our history:) p.s. Why is Hope Farm named Hope Farm? I couldn't seem to find it when revisiting the videos. Thank you:) Cynthia

Cynthia thank you so much for being here, and for your gracious, lovely comment! We are so SO honored to have people like you in our community. To answer your question about Hope Farm: we really don’t know! All we do know is that the first recorded evidence of the name is in a deed transfer in 1805, which means the home had the name prior to that time. We assume it was given that name when it was built between 1775-1789. Can you imagine? It’s had its name longer than we’ve had this country!

When I was in college, I roofed houses to pay the way. One Saturday, I sliced my thumb to the bone, requiring stiches. Went to the emergency room, in this small hospital, and the doctor sewed me up. The doctor told me to come back to his office to get the stitches removed when healed. When I went to his office, the receptionist kept asking was I sure I needed to see the doctor. "Yes Ma'am I do", this went on for a few minutes. Finally asked her if should just take the stitches out myself. She asked where are the stitches? Showed her my thumb. That's when she told me I was in a OB/Gyn office.
