Awesome place!!

This is an awesome video!

[@tashasmith6179]

Nice haircut 👍 btw. I've been wanting to comment on it but I kept forgetting. Lol. Looking good

[@ptaylor4923]

OH HELL, YEAH... You've found an original fireplace surround from the main house! Get that rust off!!!!!

[@marybethsigala3282]

That was my guess also a fireplace rim. :-)

[@tashasmith6179]

It's beautiful

[@jenmalcom7654]

I was thinking fireplace or fancy wood stove, since it was kinda short.

[@iFNhU]

You're all wrong it's part of a fireplace.

[@katbot2190]

exactly. Neat stuff

[@kayzirkel8124]

The decorated metal piece is the front piece of a wood burning stove, Some called them parlor stoves. I am 76yr.old and my grandmother had a stove with a front almost exactly the same. Keep on exploring young man. I love watching you. You bring back memories of our youth.

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

I agree. I've seen some in a very old catalog. They were beautiful!

[@kakley]

That outbuilding could have been a summer kitchen. They used those to keep from heating up the house while cooking during the summer months.

[@sallyintucson]

And canning!

[@williamkeith8944]

Good point, probably used for summer cooking, canning, meat processing, clothes washing etc. In older times those types of sheds were also used to make soap, process maple syrup up North and molasses down South.

[@shawnmullinsoutdoors]

I was thinking it might be a smoke house

[@sallyintucson]

@@shawnmullinsoutdoors Too big.

[@cbsdracster6494]

@@shawnmullinsoutdoors There's no mistaking a smoke house. There was one on an old plantation I tramped around on during my misspent youth. It still smelled like country ham.

[@howardwest1347]

I don’t know how the other Robert is related to you and “Grandpa” but he sure is a very cool guy. I just love his accent and cool comments.. he makes me smile a lot!!!!!🥰👍🏻

[@cchaffincc]

The other Robert reminds me so much of my Dad (also named Robert), full of jokes, common sense, curiosity, hard work. He died 6 years ago today. I love you guys. I look forward everyday to getting home from work and watching your videos.

[@frankscarborough1428]

Like to see you Robert and Robert. Can’t describe how much fun it was to walk around with you. This world is in such a crazy mess this was a welcome respite,

[@kenbritton8227]

Yes, The other Robert is a good addition to the explorations. I assumed he had stacks of those green shirts. Now I see there was only one. ;^ }

[@pennyboszor6694]

You and the other Robert make a good team. I enjoy listening to your comments.

[@frankforrest1597]

Man, you got your work cut out for you! The old wrench is called a "Stilson" wrench. The first pitchfork is a "sillage fork" The second one is a "manure fork". Good luck in your endeavors of the farm.👍✌️

[@Goldarr1900]

I was going to call it “ monkey wrench” but I saw your comment.. it saved me from giving false information.

[@Itiswhatitis55]

You guys are hilarious! I felt like I was right there with you just walkin along....what a great place!

[@jillgebauer1292]

Exactly! How I'd love to go down and help out! Then just take a break and breath in the history all around me listening to these two go on and on. The friendships I see in all the videos is so wonderful! I hope these guys know the wonderful spreading of more than history they are doing on the channels.

[@mariedmitrieff6829]

So sorry for your loss. I lost my wonderful loving Granny in the 1970 ties. I still miss her.

[@avrilfischer6207]

Coming from England, it looks like a piece from the front of a Fireplace.

[@Susi-Saks]

Yes, I agree the front surrounds of a fireplace..

[@HeyLisaKay]

Haha Cody was me in school I was always being told to stop talking & getting in trouble for talking 😂 The “my only shirt” on the other Robert had me dying 😂😂

[@play4u67]

That shirt just got to me (lol).... and then when Robert asked him if he was going to have to buy him another shirt.....Omg, I laughed so hard, my husband thought I'd lost my mind (had my headphones on at the time (lol). Anyhow, I love listening to these 2 banter back and fourth... a wealth of knowledge between them on these old places... they keep your imagination wondering, even if they aren't sure what an object is or was used for.... it does open things up for your own imagination to just run wild ;) Take care everyone and be safe out there no matter what your into whether it's adventuring or just going to the store for something!!!!

[@GlamGal001]

The other Robert is such a nice guy, I hope that your ankle heals quickly. You two make a great team, I love watching you, you make me laugh and the other Robert is always finding something interesting. Where can we send shirts? 😊

[@brendayoung5466]

My first time watching. Grandpa is a hoot and y'all's relationship is amazing

[@Carolbearce]

Love “the other Robert” t-shirt! Too funny. It looks like a fireplace frame. Love all you are doing on the old house.

Just love this! I hope "Hop-Along Robert" will heal quickly and Cody...be good! This property is wonderful and exploring it this way is amazing! Thank you!!

[@foots-qt4pk]

Aww...dont be hating on Wisteria! It is SO beautiful and easy to tame if you give it a strong pergola to grow on!

[@micaltoy824]

I really like this sweet man. Bless him I bet he can tell some tales❤

[@williamkeith8944]

That dissimilar fascia board was probably mill seconds because the lathe pattern was changed out before the board was completely cut.

[@cynthiacarter665]

Thanks for pointing that out.

[@marksommers6764]

Robert , you're so lucky to have an neighbor like Robert .. a fine link ... what a great guy .

I just adore y'all. I love what y'all are doing and I appreciate what all do with the cemeteries. Much respect to ALL of Sidestep Adventures and to the patreons. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dreesexton4269]

A trip across country would be worth it just to talk to the "other Robert" all day and hear, "That's some good junk!" But then I'd end up coming home with a new kitty. Lol..he's a smooth talker! 😅

[@artcflowers]

And the winning lottery numbers which the kitten will provide! 🤣🤣🤣these guys are great.

[@wendy-klmfan1548]

You two are so much fun together!! Good work you've done to this property!! Will follow along curiously

[@ptaylor4923]

I am so hooked on this. You're doing such a great job. I hate they put in the different windows and the awful jalousie window panes in the door and window . Probably helped with circulation, but they're a security nightmare and ugly as sin. Really hope you find something period original to put in. Than you so much for saving this farm and sharing the journey with those of us who are shut in.

[@neilschipper3741]

Beings you're in the south, that building you just discovered recently given the age of the house was probably a summer kitchen that they also used for a wash house having firewood put under the lean-to. That's why it's so close to the house you'll probably find clothesline poles and a outhouse nearby.

[@men4skirts]

I love all this, the old Farm, clearing it up. the old tractor and the pickup. I like the walk a rounds as well. I enjoy the history as well. What a great series!

[@khanysafan1705]

This is my favorite video in the series. Good job.

[@katherineg5946]

Be sure and save all the bricks. I collected from all over Fort Worth to dry lay walkways and surrounds for flower beds at this 1924 Craftsman Bungalow. (edit, I don't use the ones with holes, just the old solid ones.)

Frank Forest got it, it’s a. “ stillson”. That’s what we called it in the oil patch. Also there was “Ridgid” brand pipe wrench almost one in the same. Never saw the name “Stillson’” but Google shows one of their pipe wrenches. 👍👍👍

[@marvinjohnson424]

They started with clam shell cut and then said the heck with this and finished with straight cuts.

When do we get to see the inside of the house? :)

[@elewysoffinchingefeld3066]

That's definitely sawn wood from a lumber mill--you can see the circular cut marks on it. I was also thinking that the shed might be a summer cooking shed or maybe a place to do laundry.

[@nikolaik4579]

Yes, you are right about the saw marks. You have a good eye.

I love watching all of the exploration, reminds me of my mom and aunts going thru old houses . I would say on the scallops of the trim that the more round ones were where They began. It would be easier to do the sharper looking ones .

Still binge watching the old Bird farm. Love watching the adventures with the other Robert hope he got him self a new shirt for Christmas. 😂 wow love the interesting fines, especially the fireplace iron(parlor, stove ) December 31, 1881.

[@jeffjohnson4015]

This was a super great video we loved the walk you both took, we can now see the house and more of the land, 11 acres that is impressive. Loved The Other Robert's tee shirt. I think we need to chip in and get him a new one. We were so glad you took your time on this one and showed us so much. Thank you. Are you and Robert cousins. Sorry to hear Cody is in trouble. Is is also a cousin, brother or your son. We only starting watch your videos later in the last few months and we so are enjoying them. Can't wait to see both the Watch Your Step and Side Step Video. Thanks
