AMAZING 130yr old home RENOVATION // COMPLETE exterior compilation

[@EmptyHammock]

**IMPORTANT INFO** 1) The three trees were rotting, unhealthy and dangerous that close to the house. 2) The porch was also rotten, dangerous and not fixable. It was NOT original to the house. 3) The siding is blue, not grey. :)

[@lasrber]

Thank you for the clarification on the trees, I had a bit of a panic over them

[@nickfury7665]

Thank you for clarifying. I would never bring down any trees that were healthy.

[@Nrwich1]

The siding reads as gray in most of your video.

[@willtacoma2ndgen661]

What color is this siding and brand?

[@kchallgrenstewart8713]

You did a fantastic job on this house

[@mike856ms]

Barry I'm not sure what I'm more impressed with. Your hard work dedicated to your vision or your 13 minutes of editing. Superior job on both.

[@EmptyHammock]

Thanks Mike.

[@LuckyGuu]

I am completely blown away by the exterior work and how much was in world you guys are not lazy! Now it's time to jump into the pool! Please tell us what state you're in?

[@LuckyGuu]

Typo: world/involved

[@peaceofmind3184]

Totally agree!

[@Beevreeter]

Seriously I admire your stamina, I would have just bulldozed the entire site flat and built a new house.

[@atotflorentino2608]

Exactly and more durable and bigger

[@christinamccarthy6326]

Me to plus energy efficiency safe wiring and plumbing

[@tagladyify]

New houses are made with crap materials. Wood today isn’t even close to what they had in the day this home was built. Bigger isn’t better, either.

[@triciac1019]

That house has character and is built well. Electrical and plumbing can be upgraded.

[@OldCritters]

I can’t believe my eyes. It’s almost impossible to believe it’s the same house. I can’t add anything to what others are saying Barry, Your videos are works of art as well. Your the best kept secret on KZbin. 🤫Simply a mind boggling amount of hard work and dedication. Oh yeah, it’s stunning!😄💞👍 Carrie

[@EmptyHammock]

Thanks Carrie

[@LilLoo226]

I absolutely love that you salvaged for sale what you could -- aluminum, steel, etc. I also love that you took us on this incredible journey in 13 minutes. Great work!

[@EmptyHammock]

Thanks. Feel free to watch the whole journey in the 44 video series.. :)

[@MarysNest]

Thank you so much for sharing all of this. Absolutely amazing!! So glad to be able to follow along on this journey with you. Happy your mom and dad shared your channel with us viewers who love them so much too!! God bless, Mary 🤗

[@NYMusic89563]

That vinyl door looks so out of place with that beautiful molding but HOLY COW you’re a hard ass worker. Mad props to you.

[@skqq3250]

I love love how you keep the premises clean in between major jobs. That is so over the top!!! Love that. Your crew is great.

[@dirtpatcheaven]

Pretty fun to watch

[@niniandsunny1353]

What I thought too.

[@DanTheManIOM]

Yea, but I'm exhausted ! LOL....

[@juliagraff8100]

Absolutely amazing. What a fabulous job you have done to the house and yard. The neighbors must be so happy and greatful, not just the beautification but the value you have added to the neighborhood.

[@EmptyHammock]

Yup

[@cheycasters]

@@EmptyHammock BUT, is it BLM proof!!! hahaa... I know, bad joke but I coulnt hepp myself!

[@betterbelizeit]

@@cheycasters Not a bad joke at all. It's just a clear window of your ignorance and mentality. Thanks for sharing !

[@litiviousspartus4611]

This was awesome to watch, didn't like the siding and even though you said the porch wasn't original I would have put a new one on,large porches just look so nice.

[@Meadowswife]

Amazing work! The neighbourhood must be so happy that this house is getting fixed up. The first episodes I thought this guy is really serious in what he does and when you explained your mind about doing things properly and the right way, because people deserve it. Thats the way I wish most people would do. Hats off to you Barry! Looking forward to seeing more progress on this house. 💗💗💗

[@EmptyHammock]

The neighborhood is happy... :)

[@opichocal]

I consider myself a diy kind of guy but you’re on a whole different level of diy. Amazing!👍👍

[@mwatts-riley2688]

See, this is why i only date construction workers- Muscles, baby All MUSCLES. 💪

[@amyphillips7862]

I appreciate how you sorted the debris...i know some you were able to sell (aluminum steel etc) but breaking glass out from wood frames 👍. Thank you for not creating a landfill issue. Nice work!

[@milmom4281]

Amy Phillips my thoughts exactly!

[@antoinettefoster5598]

What an amazing transformation. You really had your work cut out on this one but boy was it worth it when you see the final results. Well done to all involved. You've give this another 130 years of life👏👏👏👏

[@janicehales2958]

It looks really nice but I miss the front porch, it added that extra charm to the house.

[@flaminbird1]

I think a more period door would’ve been much better as well and not stock vinyl siding .

[@georgensal]

I totally agree.... but I guess they disagreed, 'cause no heart for you.....

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

The budget is the budget. At least the floor was saved.

[@jamiepan3608]

The house looks great, but the character is gone. I really did love the porch. Most people buy old houses because the style is old, but now it just looks like other houses. He did a beautiful job though.

[@MegaPacman98]

He tried to save it 3:14

[@louise7029]

I grew up living in older homes needing so much work. Watching your video I swear I can feel the grit, smell the dust and mold, break out in skin rashes from the yard debris feel the sweat stinging my eyes BUT when it was done, our home was a place of pride and warmth. Best wishes to you and stay safe !

[@xtina5castro782]

I love seeing this kind of work and restoration and renovation. It just like the house is waiting to be loved and to be lived at again.

[@meggarstang6761]

I could sit in a theater for DAYS watching these videos! Love seeing an old home come back to life. Clearly these renovators know their stuff.

[@EmptyHammock]

Thanks Meg

[@susananderson1071]

Cant imagine the hours and hours of hard work. Look forward to seeing the interior when finished. You did an amazing job to the exterior. I agree the porch made the house but when it's unsafe it had to go.

[@SayMagnaFeek]

Wow! Amazing transformation!

[@amethyst1826]

It would have been such a lovely surprise for the neighbours if you had been able to screen it off while you worked, then taken the screen down once it was all done! It looks AWESOME, well done!!

[@yeltsin6817]

I can’t let my wife see how much you do. She ll throw me out and I’m a handy guy. I can’t believe your work ethic, knowledge and skill. I hope your kids realize the savings they can have by learning from you.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Awesome work, Barry, Molly and Hammock kids. You are the best videographer I know!!! Keep up the great work.

[@ralphlivingston894]

This is weirdly satisfying/comforting to watch all of this neglect get cleaned up. It’s exhilarating and relaxing at the same time.

[@ItsIdaho]

Thank you for keeping this house alive. Looks very pretty.

[@marieleopold1625]

I was tired when I started to watch this...now...I'm EXHAUSTED!!! Dear Lord, WHAT WORK! Lovely family 'team work' = BLESSED! Thanks for sharing this; 'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE' with us...it's the kind of thing you do ONLY ONCE...when you're young...right Barry? On reno stories around the campfire...you'll have em' all beat! Health and God's Blessing on you n' yours!

[@EmptyHammock]

This wasn't my first, but....well hopefully the last? I dunno.

[@stacjaemigracja]

They have done all of this in 13min. Shit I wasted all the quarantine on doing nothing.

[@kylieharrison3782]

I adore decluttering and simplifying material possessions, houses and gardens etc. Observing you decluttering and simplifying everything made my heart sing with joy ❤

[@GrandsonofKong]

Would not have even guessed that was the same house if I hadn't watched all the videos you posted. Great work and look forward to the interior.

[@rodmandealerman3297]

This is what happens when you have Legendary strength of will from MANY people. I have no doubt the neighbors are beyond thrilled with the outcome, and you deserve significant respect for your efforts. My hat is off to everyone involved.

[@EmptyHammock]

Thank you RodMan

[@bonnieodoon2980]

Can a house sigh? Can a house stretch? This proves old houses have a life and a story to tell. They just need someone with impressive skill and ability to listen to their calling. I hope a young family buyer gets this renovation and truly loves it. New everything (to be safe) but with dignity. To another 130 years!

[@ДариЛар]

Из таких руин , сделали красоту ! Колоссальная работа проделана ! Молодцы ребята! 👍👌✊

[@lauracltan]

Absolutely, absolutely amazing. The exterior looks wonderful. Can’t wait till the interior is finished. Praying that the Lord gives you a buyer with a good price as soon as it is completed. As your dad always says, Be Blessed.

[@ML-lw2yi]

No wonder your hammock is empty. What a worker you are! You deserve every good thing in your life.

[@judilogan4661]

I enjoy your parents channel so much,and I just saw your dad helping with your solarium floor! Wow! What a hard job cleaning up this house! Glad to watch you too!

[@MrTBoneMalone]

Wow, you did a mountain of work, brother! I can't even imagine how many hours it must have taken to get where you are now or to make this video. Amazing job! Two thumbs up!

[@pqworks9019]

That was one of the best renovations I have ever seen!! The amount of work that took was incredible. That was over 100 years of mold, rot, and everything else! That was perfectly done!!!

[@EmptyHammock]

Thanks. Subscribe to see the inside finished too.

[@aleksandrolegovich1154]

If he did this for 13 minutes, imagine how much he can do for 1 hour ..

[@KarenThompson-cg9lr]

Watching your videos in time lapse is sooo satisfying. Your dad recommended your channel and I’m so glad he did. I’ve been following them for about a year now

[@EmptyHammock]

Glad you're here Karen. :)

[@maggiesue4825]

Your EXTREMELY hard work is paying off! I can't wait to see what you do inside! Question: Are you planning on any landscaping in the front yard? Without a porch, the house desperately needs some shade. We bought a maple tree from a local store, about 10 feet tall, two summers ago - paid about $60 for it. We were careful to plant it correctly (if you plant it too deep, it will grow 'girdling' roots, which will eventually kill the tree), and now it's over 30 feet tall, the trunk has tripled in size, and it's already casting a good deal of shade. Beautiful in the fall, too. Just a suggestion!! Love your parents, by the way (Live Simple, Live Free) - I think the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree! Blessings to you and yours!!

[@EmptyHammock]

We will leave the front yard as a blank slate for whoever buys it.

[@jewelofwisdom8279]

@Maggie Sue wow on the growth of your tree! What did you do to achieve such hyper growth?

[@BigRobChicagoPL]

Thankyou for saving a historical property from being destroyed!

[@manolonoche1885]

When the wooden cladding was removed concrete tile work popular in the 60's emerged.

[@peternicholsonu6090]

Woulda jumped at this when I was 24. 34. 44. 54. 64. But now I’m 74 you made up for what I would not have the patience for......so grateful you took us with you.

[@gregorythomas333]

Dude...if that place is in an even half-decent neighborhood you better pull at least $500K for that house! And if perspective buyers balk...just show them THIS video...heck if I had the funds...

[@manillafresh57]

Nobody is going to pay $500k for a house with low grade vinyl siding and screw on plastic shutters. For just a tiny bit extra, this house could have been something nice.

[@mommaice]

That was a LOT of work!! Barry I'm so impressed with your determination & dedication to doing such beautiful work. You basically created a whole new house!!

[@krkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkr]

Me, a european whenever I see american wooden houses: *surprised pikachu face* Great work tho. :)

[@EmptyHammock]

Yep. Im there with ya. But they last great and we can easily modify.

[@hollybatchelor3738]

@Seeker almost every house in europe is built with bricks

[@sophiecairns3186]

Think most of the rest of the modern world uses bricks or concrete, not just wood. Too flimsy.

[@sandrashort1221]

18 months of amazing work. I have not missed one episode. Waiting anxiously for update on interior.

[@notsorandumusername]

Just when you think you've seen it all in 2020, you see a tree taking a piss at 2:14

[@natedawg2p]

But what was it?? It was too watery to be sap right?

[@NearlyBatman]

@@natedawg2p It was full of rainwater. It was hollow.

[@thebeans7846]

AND ... you are an exquisite videographer, editor, artist, and drummer! Blessed, you are!

[@EmptyHammock]

:)

[@biglakejudy]

The rule of thumb is to try and keep the house as close to original as possible. Using same materials and style as before. Why even bother and just rip the house down? The porch fit the house, the wood siding fit the house as did the cedar shakes. aluminum siding? Really? Tiny little windows, vinyl at that. Really? Fer petes sake. Its not a 130 year old house now. You managed to beat that out of it. And yes, Im just about to drop a 1912 beauty down on a new foundation. They were going to tear it down. When its done you will think you walked right back into 1912. Sure its harder, but its the right thing to do. At 73, this will be my last house probably. Judy

[@evy1624]

Same thought! Lost all the charm.

[@lesliemcintyre4904]

Hard to see all the trees come down too! Also don’t care for vinyl at all.

[@manfredvonrichthofen4738]

if i was spending your money id put it back just like you wanted it. no matter what it cost.

[@carolbenson6524]

I cant even imagine all the hard dirty work that had to be done on this project. What a transformation!!

[@jinnakamura6192]

The front loader work looked, in fast motion, like an extension of the operator's arm! rarely have I seen this level of articulation! Reminded me of a man telling a big insect what to select from the pile! Experience shows.

[@HighPeaksHome]

Thank you for being part of the solution and not the problem. Diving deep into he structure and doing what it needs to get the job done. Well done.

[@EmptyHammock]

Thanks. Looks like you've got a nice project going too! :) I did a super-cut of the inside too.. if you're interested.

[@HighPeaksHome]

Yes it is quite the project for sure. Up here i am surrounded by people who just dont know what it takes to do these types of homes correctly. So i have searching here to find others, if nothing else to just not feel alone. You have a fun video style and love the name! Ill have to carve out some time to watch your in proceess videos

[@reneea7811]

Help! This video is FANTASTIC but I wish I knew the backstory! How did you find this house? Did you buy the house with the intention of flipping it? How many more months of renovation do are required? How are you able to invest so much time, energy, and resources into this project without loosing your shirt? Would you consider doing a video that answers these questions and other FAQs your fans have posted? Also... I'm on pins and needles hoping you'll post a time lapse of the INTERIOR transformation!!! This was sooooo interesting to watch! Thank You!
