Exploring a 120-Year-Old House on a 2-Acre Property: Renovate or Demolish?

[@revtoyota]

My inner child still says use the trees to take out the house.

[@ronpeacock9939]

This made me laugh.. and I agree.. you have a built in wrecking ball, use it...

[@steveminton8329]

Absolutely 😂😂😂

[@jonathanzellner906]

Yesss

If it’s an “accident” insurance should kick in 😂😂

[@JD-zm4eh]

You two when together is quality entertainment, also thanks Bealy for the great sounds during the closing of the videos.

[@robertwells1650]

Another Bealy Good and Chris project! Always a good video when things start happening. Cheers

[@nealwiley9950]

Geoff,great music...again,another Chris and Bealy good project...let the fun begin,,,have a great Bealy Good day..👍👍👍👍

[@terryrogers1025]

So, I get the distinct impression you kinda like giving Chris the berries just to see what kind of reaction you can get out of him, you know like “ going to save the house”, it’s priceless. That lot appears to have an odd shape to it, not really pie shaped but trapezoidal looking, really hard to tell. I think it would an interesting build to play on the lot shape though. Thanks for the update, looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

[@BealyGood]

You are correct

[@JimmyDCarter]

That old house has got to come down. It's much better to build new where you have planned. It's great to have another build to watch. It puts a smile on my old face.

[@apollorobb]

Aint nothing like Stalking Chris with the drone lol

[@BigTader]

The look on Chris face when you said you were going to keep the house was like really 🤣🤣🤣 just my opinion when you and Chris make a video together they never disappoint. Stay safe and May God bless you and your family and business. 🍻

[@marcinrozek4493]

Hello from uk waching you and Chris together is alweys fun....

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Not a bad piece of property for a 2 acre lot. I agree that widening the driveway is a good idea, and taking out a lot of those trees is great, BUT I agree to leave some of the better looking heavier trees, and I Love the one that you like. look forward to more on this property and what it can turn into.

[@stevenkruse5746]

Sentimental value --- unlimited budget? Keep it and upside down use to be fun... Excellent drone work AND soundtrack, thanks.

[@donnamullins2089]

As always beautiful property. Massive pine trees. So Chris will remove 90%. Well he's got a new tool for that. 2 acres? Something to do on a Saturday? Love the music and the aerials are always nice.

[@garydillon3960]

Excellent video with great closing music. I can't wait to see finished product. God Bless All.

[@dirtguy6537]

Like that music and drone view.

[@clifforddgreen1296]

Geoff, you should have done a fly by right over Chris's head with that drone that would have been cool and we could have seen the look on his face look like another great project for the both of you great deal😂

I just love this song !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@pennyneal2456]

Couldn’t even see the house with trees. Wow!

[@themister3865]

Chris could dig and create you a new small pond in 3 - 4 days, as long as you have the water to feed the new pond. I think you should do it.

[@alpharx7]

You need to let Chris drop those trees on to the house. Has he ever hit a house yet? Now's the perfect opportunity lol

[@mikeembrey9176]

Will be a great building site when you and LD get finished nice music and drone 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@dennishill3463]

Thanks 👍

Great, finally we're going to see Chris do a demolition again - it has been too long since the last one. lol 😁 And nice, little plot of land. 👍

great property can't wait to see what it looks like after Chris is done with it 👍👍👍👍👍

[@acesflying2y]

nice construction site, you can make a second driveway at the height of the shed that you break off from the road through the shed site. nice access road soory for the bad engkisch iam ducht

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

A nice wide driveway entrance is necessary, especially during construction. The road isn't very wide to make a wide swing to get in or out.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Geoff great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@doritleis2773]

The next Project from Bealy Good and Chris! The Interesting Videos go farther. It's a Happy Time 😘

[@themister3865]

When do you plan on pouring the foundation of the new house along with the upper pool? You must be getting close to pouring them.

[@BealyGood]

Video will be out today about that

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Nice looking property

[@esparka]

Today, I discovered a difference between Mr Bealy Good & myself. --> I don’t mind a few pine trees.

Nice lot some mix of stuff for Chris maybe not wine so much lol 👍👋🇨🇦

[@jimsilverdale205]

A First! Amazing footage of Chris using a shovel.

[@BealyGood]

🤣🤣

[@hydraulic-hum]

he always shovels off his tracks before the machines get moved by Donny, but he never videos it..

[@keepingdistance4404]

Sad will be the day when you call on someone else to do the clearing/excavator work because Chris is too busy. You two need each other and are a good match.

Can’t wait to see y’all get started

[@heidibal255]

Thank you 👍

[@silverlicious2086]

What ever you do, I vote for a demolition video. Let Chris have at it and you can capture some great footage. Good idea to save the cedar for some of the new house closets or sauna. Does it have to be dried?

[@BealyGood]

🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ guess we’ll find out soon 😁

It Might Be Worth You While, 120 Year Old House In The SE Might Be Holding Some Great History!!

[@jrand2631]

That house needs a total renovation, and it'll cost more than the house is worth. Tear it down, build a new house and maximise your profit , which I think is the plan.

[@jimbrewer2893]

History and ghosts.

[@bobbywelch6035]

I had a house on 1 acre I had bought in my home state that was in worse shape than the house on that property. I fixed it up with the help of some family and that house is still standing after getting hit by hurricane Rita and them back to back hurricanes in Southwest Louisiana. The original part of the house was an built in the late 1800's or early 1900's to my knowledge. The studs were 2' centers. Before tearing it down, may I suggest getting a good carpenter to look at? I know the electric and the plumbing will must certainly have to be brought up to code.

[@BealyGood]

I’m usually all for saving things. I spent a ton on the farmhouse that we live in. But this thing has nothing good left. Floors are horrible, roof is. Windows. All the electrical, plumbing etc. It’s ate up with termites and it’s too close to the road.

[@bobbywelch6035]

@@BealyGood that sounds like the house I had saved. All of the repairs were done without a permit. In your case you will licensed and bonded contractors to do the work. The back part of this house, I had, had everything from the floor joint to the rafters replaced. The rafters were 2x4's.. unfortunately I got screwed out 3k that I paid for the land with the house and all of the money I sent to repair it.

[@snappingbear]

As I mentioned the last time you showed this property, dropping those big trees to demolish that house will provided you with your most viewed video by far. It could get millions of views ($$$) and maybe more subscribers. Remember it was a viral video that boosted Chris channel.

Thinning out trees, building ponds by directing water flow into a naturally low lying areas, installing culverts is all ways of IMPROVING hundreds of acres of property. Mr. Bealy and Chris have taken God's natural ecosystem and enhanced it in the work they do. Swampy areas are no longer, fish have new habitat, wildfowl now have places to thrive. You, sadly, have no idea who the true conservationists are.

[@BealyGood]

@@cleroyster2610 clueless. I don’t have an ego. I like the challenge of designing and building things. I also take acreage and keep it country. Unlike the other people around here that are putting one house per acre. I have 10 lots on 90 acres. I I put my money where my mouth is. Not sit back and whine about farmland disappearing, but never try to buy and preserve any.

@@BealyGood I’m just a farmer. I buy acreage, for farming, large farms with cattle, hay, lakes, and forests. You seem to have a huge ego, with a large dose of narcissism thrown in.
