He's Back and EVERYONE KNOWS IT!

Mr. Stinky is back to do a job we can't do without him. It's nice to have him back on the farm to breed our goats. He is a real stinker though.

Bri, given the age of the house the beadboard is likely painted with lead paint. You can get the look with new stuff more safely. Thanks for your wonderful videos.

[@ardenpeters4386]

lead paint... probably good observation

[@christinedehn3257]

If it's something you can't live without, get new beadboard to install. The time and energy you save will justify the cost without even considering the hazard of working with mold and lead paint on the old ones.

[@lindat2525]

Yes! I came to make the same comment. I tested the old bead board in several areas of my old farm house and found it's all covered in lead based paint.

When I was rewiring my house I found a couple places where the previous owner cut the plastic coating on wires hooked another wire around that spot. Then put some tarry looking stuff around the bare wire put a plug in on new wire called it good. No junction box or connectors. Another place they had put a nail through, and to fix it put a plastic wire connector for a car on it. That was in the fifties. 2010 is when I rewired my house. I feel much safer now.

[@danamama6766]

Wow but nothing went wrong for 60 years with the wiring? That is remarkable. And I think its newer houses that have huge issues with fire from the updated wiring so that is a remarkable story :)

If you reframe the roof, you can raise the pitch and make a school/playroom or bedrooms upstairs.

[@cherylanderson3340]

True, but there is a non toxic thick paint remover that encapsulates the lead paint & with a scraper, it comes right off. It is a legal way to remove it, & avoids the dust caused by sanding by hand or power sander, & then scraping out the grooves.

[@vickiburt2676]

[@cherylanderson3340]

@@vickiburt2676 TY, Vicki. I did enter it 1st as a stand alone , " Attn: Bri -" etc, It's longer & a bit rambling, lol. I know a couple who had the bucks to hire professionals to delead their entire big, colonial in Massachusetts. At the time, 35 years ago or so, they were charged about $30K. They came in with all kinds of equipment, dressed in hazmat suits, while my friends, who were expecting a 3rd child, took their 2 small kids & relocated for a while. The crew were working on it for weeks, & of course, it was expected that they would be meticulous about removing all the dust produced from their sanding. Apparently they should've hired someone to clean up after those guys. Their pediatrician had noticed lead levels in their tests, which was why they decided to spare no expense for the wellbeing of their children to have a team of professionals do the job. After they'd returned home, the kid's lead levels had become much higher.

I think it would be beautiful to try and save it and use it again (the beard board). But Arther is also right, it’s a lot of extra work and will be an extra hassle when cleaning. If you’re still interested try farmhouse vernacular

[@joharmon2148]

[@Diana_the_green_dragon]

Tear the roof and reframe it, you will have to do that sooner rather then later since you might have a leak that is causing some of the water. You guys are putting a lot of effort and lets be honest doing that later will just mean more work than doing it now. It will be more cost effective even if that means maybe needing a loan. If you can gut the whole house to the frame on your own, get a team to do the mold treatment on the studs and ground, then you can get friends and family to redo the house and it will go faster. Once the roof is new and you have new siding because its needs to go and changed with something that is more breathable you guys are set and can start the work inside. You should look into paint that lets the walls breath both for the inside and outside. For inside you can use paint that is specifically to absorb bad stuff from the air. >Ideally getting the roof and exterior done before the wet season starts

[@robwestley7370]

If the walls are insulated between the inside and outside there will not be so much condensation as warm air or heat hits the cold from outside. The fact that all the basement was sealed especially the windows sealed with plastic again there’s no free flow of air to keep damp at bay.

[@kgs2127]

Sorry Bri I have to side with Arthur on this one! I too was enamored with bead board and thought it was the PERFECT fit for my dream farmhouse (which was oddly much like your little house) kitchen & dining area. I used it on the walls AND the ceiling....what a huge mistake! Don't get me wrong, I adored the look and even didn't mind the extra work to keep it clean for the first year, maybe even two years, but I eventually had to admit I made a bad choice! Nobody could have convinced me at the time...I had a plan! I painted it with a heavy duty high gloss paint for wooden boats and was absolutely certain that was going to ensure MY SUCCESS where others failed. AND I had a few other tricks up my sleeve like a vacuum attachment for dusting those cracks & a dedicated mop just for my walls/ceilings. Bead board is not a good fit for a working kitchen.

[@CopperValentine]

The types of mold are the ones naturally around there at all times. It’s not a black mold or anything like that. The main issue is moisture. If they can fix the moisture issue and get rid of the mold damaged material, they’ll be ok. It’s the sogginess and lack of ventilation hat is their problem.

And they get remediated with mold companies and done through very strict guidelines governed so seeing this type of mold I think you are very correct. And Art is very smart. So he has done his research. Happy to see a positive comment :)

[@carolynchadwick7867]

Arden Peters, I apologize for being a Debbie Downer right up front. As one whose entire health & quality of life has been so adversely affected by non-black molds - my worst of many allergens, I can't help but be very concerned about Art & Bri & their children. I'm a NC native & know the seasonal weather conditions there, including frequent high humidities compounded by heavy fogs & dew, thunder & tropical storms, snow & sleet, nor'easters. I heard Art mention a 'mudroom' which means there will be tracking in of work boots etc. That Does Not mean I expect them to be irresponsible, but we can't even see mold spores - & they're in the soil & on the flora & fauna there. The same kinds they're trying to destroy. I think none of that wood should be saved or re-used, not even burned. Like the beadboard Bri loves = Labor intensive & expensive to reclaim. BUT the molds' root systems spread DEEP into porous materials. There are many modern beadboard products available: paneling, feature walls, trim work, already finished, wood & other materials, pre-painted,, etc. My Grandparents on both sides my family, & extended family all across NC & SC, had beadboard in some of their rooms. Some smoked tobacco, had wood, kerosene, propane & natural gas, even black coal fireplaces & stoves. The walls & ceilings were covered with residue & stains from the fuels used. "Spring Cleaning" were long & laborious productions involving lots of family or paid workers. None of thought about all that gunk being breathed into our lungs. Moreso, if Art & Bro's research revealed that endemic molds like what's in the tight crawlspace are the ones that made them sick, no amount of remediation & grading will 100% eliminate or guard against reinfestation of any or all of the mold species. All it takes is one spore finding the right conditions. Or one leak inside a wall during a storm. I do hold them in my heart & pray that God will bless them beyond measure in all their endeavors. Especially in good health. My good health is gone, primarily from exposure to molds & 2nd hand smoke. I continue a struggle of 20+ years to regain it, or at least stop the steady decline.

Our bead board was not salvagable...it was so brittle from being 100 years old that if it didn't split from removing it... it would split when we tried to use it again. We had 5 layers in our farmhouse.. bead board, cardboard, wallpaper, multiple paintings and 1970's paneling and no insulation!!

Is Braveheart on loan or did you actually buy him back? He is such a pretty goat (can I say pretty about a buck?) Art you have accomplished a lot today. I am glad you have this fellow as a consultant to bounce ideas with. That must feel good. Y'all have a Blessed day.

Design styles, ah! That bead board looks amazing but i can imagine the cleaning involved. 😱 i LOVE how you are scheduling and prioritizing your day Art. Getting advice from a planner and keeping you focused and moving forward. 👍🏼

OMG that mockingbird, we have them here in CA and I love them! My favorite bird, they are bold, brash, brave and full of personality.
