Tips from professional organizers: Start in one corner and work your way around. Have three sorting receptacles ready for trash, donate and keep (I would add a fourth for recycling) and wear gloves and a mask if rodent or other feces is present. Hope this helps!

[@gwenb4531]

Yes to the gloves and mask!! A hazmat suit wouldn't hurt. lol.

[@oldbroad7672]

Yep, if there's not some sort of system, it'll take way longer than necessary.

[@maryohare4141]

I use garbage bags as liners within large upright boxes, each labelled on outside. That way, I fill a donate bag, pop it out, add next new bag in, haul donation bags to one area near door...haul all donation bags out when ready to stop...drop off bags on way home or in mmorning. Just getting room "uncluttered" really helps. I put furniture I want to keep in one room. That way, room I am working on is cleared of chairs, tables, etc. With each room cleared, all furniture in one room...you can see true size of rooms, decide which room means taking down wallpaper, which one just needs cleaned and painted , etc. Dont jump around...do one room at time. That way it motivates you when you see that one room coming together quickly. It "feeds" your vision of the house turning into your dream home! I host a family and friends "painting party" with pizza and SOFT DRINKS. Dont want sloppy paint jobs due to boozy painters lol! I prep walls, fix holes, wash dust off, etc. Then , party day begins..teams of two in each room. That means two walls per person...so painting can get done quickly! I go for the more expensive "one coat paint" because most times...it really does it in one coat. For really old walls, you probably need a primer in same color, then the paint...an expert might be able to tell you if there is a sealer you can use on 140 year old walls so your walls dont keep sucking up that paint! You could go the wallpaper route, too. I would get a pro to do wallpaper and ask to see their historic wallpapers, if you want to keep it in tune with house's heritage. Love, love, love this house! Cannot wait to see this beautiful home restored to glory! You are doing a wonerful job! Your friend is a great help too! I watch both your channels!

[@krislange1186]

Years ago the numbers on the bottom of the Ball blue canning jar, I think were numbered 1-12 because they were boxed by the dozen. After canning, they were stored in order and then used in order 1-12. At least that's what I heard years ago. My hope is that you replace the kitchen windows eventually! I'm wondering where the wood cookstove would have been. I grew up in Chicago and we had the old sink and metal cabinets also. I'm pushing 74. I'm happy that you have a good knowledge on antiques and what you don't know you investigate. Had someone else bought that property, it might have all been bulldozed without a second thought to the history or what was in the house. I owned a flea market for 14 yrs. and learned A LOT about antiques during that time. But as the saying goes, no one knows it all! Anxiously awaiting the next video!! Please wear gloves (light ones) to protect your hands from injuries and insect bites (spiders)!

[@terryhurt3362]

[@terryhurt3362]

[@paulbuck7356]

Good guess but no. The numbers on the bottom is from which mold they used to make o. If you feel a #13 it should be kept in a safe place because moonshiners would break them believing that they were bad luck and didn't want to get busted by the feds. About every ten years the logo on the front changed so it's easy to tell how old they are. If you ever want some of old blue jars let me know, I have well over 100

Hey Robert, there is a white pitcher on top of the upper cabinet. It might be an antique. I have one like it. I’m in my 60’s, and mine was my great-great grandmothers, so turn of the 20th century, or older. It probably came with a large bowl or basin, and was kept in a bedroom so people could wash their hands and faces. Yours may even be original to the house.

[@lindacork6926]

[@chrishardestyjoanpendley4552]

Robert ! I saw a nice old cast iron corn stick pan in the cabinet!! If it’s not cracked have it sandblasted n use it. They go for 40 - 50 bucks at antique stores 😳

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Please PLEASE don't sandblast vintage castiron cookware. It destroys the collector / historical value of the piece. A $1,000 Griswold frying pan can become a $10 flea market item, if it's sandblasted or abused in a too hot campfire. There are several methods to clean and restore castiron. A lye bath solution will remove cooking crud accumulated over the years. Electrolysis is best, IMO, to remove rust while retaining the patina. Other methods, are a self-cleaning oven, spray oven cleaner with a garbage bag, and a diluted vinegar boiling vat session. There are a number of foundries that made high quality castiron ware that far exceeded anything that can be purchased today. Even the early no-name pieces are better, much better. Blindfolded, using only my fingers, I can identify 1800's - mid 1960's /compared what's being made since then. Today's casting / production methods (as a general rule) can't compare, with yesteryear. Period. Fine casting sand isn't as readily available. Grinding machinery became to expensive to replace. PLEASE DON'T SANDBLAST QUALITY VINTAGE CAST IRON POTS, KETTLES, BREAD PANS, SKILLETS, OR RELATED ACCESSORIES FROM TRIVETS TO LADLES.

[@kategulick4781]

I've been waiting for you to be able to get to the kitchen...my favorite room! I would love to go through those dishes. I hope you can save the sink and cabinets.

[@ellanalee6002]

My grandfather used to lay a floor over a floor if the room was unleveled over time on old houses because they were to close to the ground for him to jack and re level floor beams. Especially if a beam had dropped some. He could just lay a floor over it and level the room. I have seen him saw one inch tapered shim boards to level a corner rather than lift a whole floor. He was born in 1917 and learned that you made due with the methods available.

[@joycemcfee1829]

When you opened the right-side door of the metal kitchen cabinet, I saw what looked like a greenish color Fiestaware bowl in a small stack of bowls.

When we toured the Sarah Winchester mansion in San Jose, California, there was an enameled kitchen sink with the built in sloped ribbed drain board sides. We were told it was the first one found in the USA. She was married to the son of the Winchester Rifle empire. Both her husband and child died within a year, and she became insane with depression. Look up her history, and building continuously onto her home and estate in order to confuse the spirits of all those killed by the Winchester Rifle, whom she thought were out to kill her... Most interesting tour of her home that covers 6 acres in California....

I meant to post this in the video in which you dug around the carbide generator tank. I was going to say, we have a ghost town over in Burlington County called Harrisville. The history of that town is thoroughly documented. Back when the paper mill was going, and it was a busy town, they had something called a Springfield Gas Machine there. With the gas from that machine that town was able to have gas street lights throughout. I'm wondering if the maybe that machine made gas the same way your system did. It could be. As for that room, I'm surprised at the poor condition of the floor. I didn't think you had any bad roof leaks, except around your chimneys.

Err on the side of caution when throwing out "trash". Yes, discard modern plastic lids, spoons, newspaper and the like. Remember that many vintage (not yet classified as antiques) are highly collectable. Salt & pepper shakers, sets of silverware, sets of dishes with certain patterns and manufacturers. I saw a dinner knife on the floor where you were pulling boards. That knife can be a 10 cent one from a thrift store or the missing knife from a set that can bring in a few dollars for new flooring. Coffee pots, enamel cookware, vintage cooking spoons, the list is long. Box up anything other than obvious modern junk until you have time to research it. Perhaps store boxes in another part of the house, for the time being. Just a thought, as every item saved does two or possibly three things. Keeps a collectible out of the landfill, becomes part of the heritage of the house and/or provides revenue for your rehabilitation of an old treasured home. Just a thought from a new subscriber trying to get caught up with your videos.
