FULL TOUR (+ plans!) of the School We're Turning Into Our House!

[@jacksharples5415]

It may not many much to anyone else, but I love the fact that you’re still calling the building a “SCHOOL”. So much respect and luck to you and your family.

[@niaj7400]

why

[@jacksharples5415]

@@niaj7400 Because so many old classic buildings have been destroyed and removed from our memories.

[@lukekao8136]

Hey you know what, if that building is "dual zone", since your husband is a doctor, if he ever wants to go into "private practice, you can section off a certain section of the building for the practice and even bring in others into the practice as it grows. i.e. nurses, theraperists, etc. Just a suggestion. :)

[@Nancy68fromNJ]

I love when people are able to reuse an old property while keeping some of the historic charm. It’s going to be such a beautiful home.

[@henryashley9945]

Love it, good for you! I’m 70 years old and about 30 years ago I begged and pleaded with my wife to turn an old gas station and garage into a home. The owners only wanted enough money to cover the closing costs. At the time a house restoration guy I knew estimated the cost of construction at about $150k. That seemed too high to my wife and eventually I had to give up the dream. The buildings were razed later. I kept all of the pictures and drawings we’d done and now my wife regrets her reluctance. We recently got ahold of an old lake house and remodeled and updated it. It’s nice and I’m proud but the memories of the old gas station still haunts me. Particularly on nights when I’m having trouble sleeping. Good luck to you.

[@helimx]

Anyone who grew up in a small rural town has had the dream of turning their school into a house. Love it

[@calmingdragon2862]

Not me. I was bullied.😭

[@ebbanzai]

That double height laundry area is a great opportunity to add racks for air drying that can come down for use and back up for airing up and out of the way. The mechanism is used often for wheelchair bound closets but would adapt well to this application.

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

Oo I'll look into this! I've had hanging racks in NY, and have some ideas, but ty!

[@AnnSarasvati]

I’ve seen drying racks often in English homes.

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

​@@Schoolhousehomesteadwhile thats all open add in a floor drain in that laundry room. If one of those water hoses ever pops even if its 15 years later youll be prepped for it.

[@PLS.54]

@@Schoolhousehomestead I’ve been curious as to how you’ll address window treatments!

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

@@PLS.54 That's a problem for future us- but I love sewing! My mom was a seamstress.

[@biscuitswithasideofcrazy]

I love that the school's history is not going unnoticed!

[@theREmissionary]

I have always wanted to buy an old school and turn it into a house; that never happened, so I live vicariously through these kinds of videos LOL. My late husband's uncle and aunt raised 8 kids in a remodeled school. They kept a lot of the original features, including a fire escape slide from the second floor. They covered it and made it a fun slide for the kids. The huge blackboards in the main room were also kept, because they homeschooled. I just fell in love with that house! One downstairs bathroom was made into the boys' bath, and the other one for the girls. The kitchen was actually on the second floor, which I thought was really unusual. But it worked for them!

[@daveshoemaker7137]

We had a local school rehabbed for apartments! The builder went to school there and didn't want the stone building torn down! It turned out really nice! He tore it apart and kept all of the doors etc. The apartments are huge and he made carports with walkways for the owners! In Trappe, Pa. suburb of Philadelphia!

[@beccagee5905]

Great way to preserve a great old building, and creating new homes at the same time.

[@MamasGotKids]

This video popped up as a 'suggestion' and the algorithms were right. I love seeing how people turn old unused historical buildings into new creations. I look forward to seeing how it progresses, it looks amazing already!

[@aok2727]

This looks so fun and inspired. Thanks for bringing us along. Like everyone, I have a suggestion. Once the grading is complete and you know where your garden will be, ask local arborists or chip drop for wood chips. They will compost and improve your soil so when you actually get to put in a garden, you will have a head start.

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

Thank you!! Great minds- you sound just like my father in law, just put all the leaves on top of the garden in a fenced in little area. :) Didn't think about doing something like that for the whole yard!

[@rosehixon2790]

Thank you for restoring and reusing a building that would otherwise go to the landfill. Our country needs more people like you.

[@smokymountaingirl]

Im from Indiana grew up on a 40 acre farm outside of Ft. Wayne (Whitley County) and although I am so appreciative of my farm life and being raised in the mid-west I am now living in the Smoky Mountains and I am never looking back!! THAT being said I love folks from Indiana... just some of the most down to Earth people and kind hearted. I love my Indiana peeps. You should have incorporated an elevator in the building so that it will very accessible for older parents if they DO move in with you!! LOVE this project!! Congratulations on your new home purchase!! Im sure you will have many years of fun and memories.

[@amandatolleson7740]

They can always add an elevator at a later time and when they have recovered from the challenges and finances poured into this. I can’t imagine! 👀. But there are other options besides full on elevators too. I’m 64 and about to sell my home in Bham, AL. Too large now with kids gone and the stairs are too much for me. I’ve had many ortho surgeries and one of my ankles is practically bionic, both feet with metal and an elbow fully reconstructed but it doesn’t bother me but the other surgical areas do and arthritis is creeping in swiftly. Just what I’ve learned and something to consider later. I am an animal rescuer. Everything but snakes and gators. Would love to know what you did for Bark.

I know where Franklin is. I'm about twenty minutes away. I used to work at franklin college. I was one of the chefs out there. About fifteen years ago. If I didn't have my stroke, I would still be out there. I love that job.. I do know some of the people that lives out there. And I still talk to them. I don't know where your school is. But, I know franklin, indiana is a beautiful place to raise your kids..

You guys take the words “old school” to a whole new level! ❤

[@madmommy]

My husband’s very small (100 residents) home town has an old high school similar to yours, but it still has a gym and indoor bathrooms. The town renovated two classrooms and the bathrooms. One classroom has a kitchen and dining area now that can be rented. We use it for our large family gatherings at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, and the kids can go play in the gym.

[@beccagee5905]

Great idea to preserve the building, and beneficial the the town residents.

[@JeffreyHahn-h4p]

A new build would be so much cheaper, but love that you have taken this on to preserve this school. Outstanding job of keeping the original exterior design faithfully. Best wishes to your family

[@leahv5892]

You’re so much braver than I am. This is a home that will be in your family for generations. I had my doubts when I saw the first video and how it was. Too far gone to save. I’m glad you saw what it can be.

[@mkane1970]

Love that your thinking ahead to look after your folks. 😊

[@Mindy56743]

I can’t wait to see it as you complete it. Building a home is such a hard but rewarding task. I love how you are taking something old and almost discarded to turn it into a beautiful place to raise your family

[@ruthkirkparick3535]

I went to school in a Canadian prairie school house very like yours. In that town my family lived in the functioning train station, as my father was the station agent. I still think that was a pretty darn cool childhood and I wish I could have turned that building into a home for my kids to grow up in. I would love that much height in my laundry room. I'd have a huge drying rack that could be raised and lowered on pulleys. :D

[@cindystuder9090]

Skating rink!! Our full basement growing up was a skating rink till we needed more rooms for us 5 kids. It was amazing!

[@mimiohnine]

Hello fellow Hoosier!! This was a dream of mine way back in the day! I’m subscribed and anticipating the videos to come!! I don’t believe you or your children will regret living close to family and out of big cities! The country life is where it’s at!! God bless you and your family!!!

[@christinaroler3675]

I live in Springville, Indiana, and recently came across your KZbin page. To say I'm obsessed is an understatement. You have really kept the integrity of the school. I wait excitedly for every single new update. ❤❤

So glad you are saving this place.. i watch another guys channel that purchased a Buster Brown shoe factory.. 70,000 sq ft.. i think that's how I found your channel .. Anyways, thx for bringing us along on another adventure and take care my friends and God Bless...

[@melissasueferrin3409]

If you have space in the basement, I'd put an apartment for each kid. Now they can be guests/grandparents or even on Airbnb. But I wish I had the space to let my kids know that our house is that--ours the whole family's, not just my husband's and mine, they will not be pressured to move out (though it's fine if they do) and if I could have an apartment for each of them, that could accommodate them with a future partner that would be great. Later, I could move into one of the apartments and their family could move into the main house. My dad was born on a farm that had two houses on it a big house and a small house. And it worked like that. When his older brother got married, my uncle and aunt lived in the small house. When their third child was born and my dad (the youngest was the only one left at home, he and his parents moved into the small house and my uncle's family moved into the big house. This had been going on for several generations, but unfortunately, the lifestyle of the 80s brought it to an end. My grandparents were the last to live in the small house. I feel like families lost their way and I'm so happy that you guys moved back to your hometown and are re-surrecting the big extended family home! Keep up the good work and thanks for putting this on KZbin for us to enjoy too.

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

often as children become adults and start their own families parents downsize and don't have capacity for the children to visit with their families your suggestion is a good idea

[@kind-hearted-thievesjoe1512]

It might be a cool idea to have all the different animals reflected in paintings throughout the house. Turkey painting in the bedroom, cows in the kitchen, sheep in the office etc.

[@moparman1962]

So...this is taking something "old school" and making it "new school" that is a large home. Rad, cool, like it!

I don’t live that far away from you… I enjoy watching your progress!

[@DaveA409]

I'm so excited for you guys. I love people keeping the original buildings. History is so important to remember and embrace. It's funny when you say there weren't any bathrooms, my grandfather tells me outhouses were the norm....and that was in the 30's-40's. Well, thank you for the restoration videos. :)

I love that you're renovating that old school into a home. My old high school in Wisconsin was torn down because no one would buy it and fix it up. Great plans! Looking forward to future updates as the build goes on.😊

[@crystalsmith7002]

I'm from Franklin and know exactly where your home/ school is.l'm so glad your doing something with it.Its going to be so beautiful.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

A few points many of which are for the longer term. Consider adding loft spaces for the kid's beds in the bedrooms to take advantage of the high ceilings. As they get older they will want more individual space and this will do it. Otherwise they have the paradox of having ceiling space that's huge but smaller floor space. Also consider adding ceiling fans to the larger spaces. The type I'm thinking of, is reverse cycle ones. So when you want to keep the room warm, you reverse the spin and the blades are angled to keep the heat down. Otherwise your heating costs are going to be colossal. Obviously it's great for the summer staying cooler. Another possibility for the longer term is using geothermal methods for heating. Expensive yes, but longer term it's fantastic. For adaptable seating in a large lounge room that won't make it look empty when not populated by a crowd, try having a long window bench that runs the length of the room. Then you can use underneath for storage and can put foldable chairs in there. On top you have long bench cushions and some throw cushions. You can break it up by having some spaces just with wooden surface for putting plants, or cups and plates etc down. If wide enough it can also be used for beds for stay overs or tired children or adults to have a rest. For inexpensive rugs, try buying floor carpets and have them overlocked at the edges. In this how you can keep the integrity and beauty of the wooden floors but have the comfort of rugs. Obviously this way you can choose the precise size you need. And hopefully choose interesting and compatible colours. A final point: when you are using rugs, place them at the end of the bed just under the legs. It helps fill out the room and doesn't look so odd. If you want the comfort of carpet under feet. for getting in and out of bed and/or for hallways, have strips made for this purpose see above. Also consider hard wearing options like sisal which is warm looking without being expensive. Hope these suggestions are useful to you. Cheers from Australia.

[@TYGER0902]

Your 3 yr journey kept on popping up under my recommendations because 3 of my homesteaders that I watch are doing renovations. One is an old horse barn that they lived in for 18 yrs (moving back in hopefully by the middle/end of September) finally renovated for a family of 6 on 70+ acres in Western NC. The other is remodeling their kitchen and their house 50-60s so it’s perfect for their little family of 3. The last one is living in an old trailer on that he and their community helped build from the inside out they are a family of 8 and the boys have one big room ( boys: twins 17, 15, 11. Girls 4 and a newborn). They are building a girls room with a bigger laundry room and a deck from the ground up. It’s slow going because of all the rain they are getting. Both of those families are in the same county in the foothills of North Carolina so they are neighbors as well as coming from California. All 3 have gardens and animals. I love watching old buildings brought back to life either a home or an unconventional commercial space. I’ve watched several 1800s houses be rehabilitated, old churches with rectory when the church either downsized or moved on to a bigger place.

[@tammywillgohs5514]

That’s going to be very nice. I went to a two room school house, we had PE and played in those big rooms downstairs when we couldn’t go outside. No cafeteria, we brought our lunch and at at our desks - hence the pail rooms where we kept our coats and boots and our lunch “pails”.

[@lindafurr2404]

This is going to be so interesting watching this schoolhouse become a house. There was a show on HGTV that featured old buildings become houses, soda fountains, jails, banks, fire stations, etc. I probably watched every episode.

[@rhyfeddu]

Do you remember the name of the show? That sounds like a show i'd love!

[@shawnaepich5991]

LOL...And I immediately thought what a pleasant person with a warm, speaking voice and great common sense. Plus your graciousness towards the parents was another sign that this was a person I'd spend time with. Looking forward to meeting all the cast of characters and of course all the work that will be happening. I suspect we'll all be schooled in the weeks/months to come. Go forth and conquer.

[@moparman1962]

Fantastic! What a cool idea and project, in a cool place, being done by a cool family (extended of course) and local workers in Indiana. It's really going to be something special, unique and a LARGE FAMILY HOME when it is finished. Neat!

[@cynthiavines8426]

The idea that you wanted to turn a school into a home got my attention. Being a retired, I tuned in to hear more. I was shocked to hear this was Franklin, Indiana. I was born there 70+ years ago. We moved before I was old enough to remember, but always wanted to visit the area. Loving seeing and hearing about this area.

Franklin is incredible!! Definitely worth a visit back, but I am obviously biased. :D Small world!!

I would like to recommend you take a look at Eco-Lawn from Wildflower Farm in Canada for your grass in the backyard. It's slow-growing and drought resistant, so less mowing and maintenance. I mow about every 3 weeks or so.

I love the brick walls. My one suggestion is to make the broom closet bigger than you think you'll need. My late aunt had a 1920s house with a very wide broom closet, and it could fit everything. I have a small broom closet and it's a very tight squeeze to get the O Cedar bucket and a cannister vacuum cleaner in it.

[@dspine6]

Thank you so much for sharing your fascinating renovation of the school house! I grew up in Indiana, and my siblings and I actually started school in a building very similar to this one. The school was in North Manchester, Indiana in 1958. (That ages me! Lol) I love the plans for the apartment downstairs for parents! That used to be the accepted norm, but doesn't happen much anymore! And, just the reason you want a big house? Kudos to you and your husband to celebrate family and friends! Looking forward to your next video!

I've gone down a rabbit hole and I'm not even mad about it. Can't wait to follow along.

[@Nia_von_L]

My parents did the same thing. So they bought an old school building in the late 90s out in the country and completely renovated it. We're still living in it now. Neighbours who used to go to school here often visit and reminisce on the good old days. It's amazing how much light you get from those huge classroom windows. 😃

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

oh wow!! Would love to check out your school if you've got it anywhere! :) Also there's a Facebook group called "I live in a Church" and schools are honorary members. I think we need to start a school group!! 😂

[@millcity9711]

Fun project and very glad that it's yours and not mine. I think it's interest how the original school windows were set high off the floor, perhaps to discourage young eyes from gazing at interesting events outside while sitting at their desks. I would love to have all that space, especially downstairs. Please continue with updates as I can hardly wait to see the completion of your new home, as I'm sure you can't either.

[@CoppertopCruiser]

I live in a 2 room schoolhouse that we coverted into a 2 BR 2 bath house. It's fun to see the similarities between your house and mine. They were built around the same time, with no bathroom, same green paint, same 90~ inch tall windows. Our ceilings are only 12 feet tall. I'm excited to watch your journey.

[@nancyjohnson50]

What a huge undertaking! It’s going to be absolutely stunning. We have an 1800’s, much smaller school house down the road from us, and I am in love with it. A family lives there, so it’s being preserved. I would absolutely love living there. Best wishes from a tiny town in Michigan.

[@wildbill23c]

Very good old building. Can't wait to see how it looks when completed. There are 2 schools in the town I live in that were turned into homes...1 school is now a church/Christian School, and it was the school I went to for a couple years....the cafeteria was in the basement. Right above the cafeteria was the Kindergarten classroom, then down the hall was 1st, and 2nd grade....3rd grade classroom was next to the kindergarten classroom. 4th and 5th grade were in a modular building...and the library was also in a modular building. I was only at that school for a couple years, but I have so many memories of it because it was an old building, the cafeteria in the basement was really cool, and being below ground it made for a good root cellar too for vegetables and fruits...wasn't anything made in that cafeteria out of boxes...the cooks made everything from scratch back then, and I had the experience of helping do dishes, serve food, etc. quite often...loved it, and miss that old school. When they closed it down, it sat empty for many years, then a group bought it, renovated it, and reopened it as a church and Christian school, so even all these years later its still being used as a school.

[@Zhiperser]

Keeping one of those basement rooms cleared out for a cool place to ride trikes and skate or scooter on for the kids in the winter would be awesome. It's both too much house and not a crazy amount of house. The entire project is really neat.

[@alyssapersich33]

I found you guys on tik tok and I’m absolutely invested now.
