I Bought An Abandoned Log Cabin that was Built in 1780

[@Joyfulkeysinstrumental-lu5ri]

Wow really neat! Thanks for the tour, enjoyed the video. The cabin definitely has history!

[@thezaytsevs]

Thank you !!! Yes it’s a rare gem 💎

[@lmk1966]

Beautiful

[@thezaytsevs]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@riseechandler3719]

Awesome 👏 I didn’t know you had another building!

[@thezaytsevs]

Yes lol very old

[@bettykirkland9107]

I forgot what the house looked like Nice Thanks for sharing 👍🙏

[@thezaytsevs]

Haha yes good times … it was a fun journey

[@Tocimah]

Don't know what state you live but winter would be freezing in that house unless they had a stove in addition to the fire place burning. But there is really no insulation for protection. Would be quite drafty. I am looking forward to what you can do with the house.

[@thezaytsevs]

Yes needs to be redone completely and insulated too!!! We will definitely save this cabin

[@Patriot1777]

Way cool 😎

[@thezaytsevs]

Thanks 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@rgc1961]

What a lovely project!

[@thezaytsevs]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Dimitri.Schepens]

[@thezaytsevs]

Yes 🙌🏻

[@conniethingstad1070]

Thanks for the memories!

[@thezaytsevs]

Ur very welcome ☺️

[@storagewars]

Maison sympa pour y vivre l'été. A l'année ça demande des travaux mais des gens y ont vécu donc cest faisable .

[@thezaytsevs]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sherrilee230]

I hope it's not as bad as the first one or it it the first cabin. Just thing America was young and just starting to grow. Thank you for sharing

[@thezaytsevs]

First cabin .. yes super old school !!! Very antique

[@steveww1507]

judging by the stones protruding out of the chimney over the fire place the house had a second floor also why would there be windows up so high

[@thezaytsevs]

No idea why they were so high up there .. there’s definitely lots of history here though

[@sk84life80]

@@steveww1507 I agree, the notches in the logs where the floor joists for the upstairs were are visible. The original floor plan would not have wasted all that space.

[@danstubbs5032]

Cool 😎

[@thezaytsevs]

Thanks

[@garystarr448]

I love it

[@thezaytsevs]

thank you for watching.

[@RichMunnichKaraokeGuy]

You ought to look into that dendral chronology stuff to give you a better awareness of the date it was constructed. I get the feeling that with it being pinned the way it was that it was built in the early 20th century.

[@thezaytsevs]

I’ll look into it-it could reveal some cool history about the place!

[@larryreese6146]

What a fantastic old house!

[@thezaytsevs]

Yes I hit the jackpot 🎰

[@alrad5686]

Not sure you had any idea of what you were getting in to when you first filmed that. But it certainly has changed, with the rebuild to come.

[@thezaytsevs]

Yes 💯 didn’t know what I was doing lol

[@MarzNGrama]

Lovely trip down memory lane! 💖✨

[@thezaytsevs]

Thank you 🙏🏻 good times

[@debrablake1]

Nice shell

[@jocook174]

Oh how cool the log house is. Just think all the rock moving and log moving had no modern equipment .

[@thezaytsevs]

Haha yes 🙌🏻 yes super old school very unique

[@waynebender8835]

To do the job. You would have 2 mules and 2 men. One man to direct the mules and other one keep the Boulder moving.

[@thezaytsevs]

. Definitely makes you appreciate the hard work they put into things back then! 💪🐴

[@waynebender8835]

@thezaytsevs That's how this country was built.

[@PoliticsNewsforyou]

How cool that is lol !!! Cool slogan !!!

[@thezaytsevs]

Yes 🙌🏻

[@richard51]

cool

[@thezaytsevs]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@urbanlumberjack]

That's DEFINITELY a 1700s refrigerator. I'd know one anywhere when I see it

[@thezaytsevs]

Haha lol 😂

[@suecapra5005]

Doors were shorter because people were shorter too!

[@thezaytsevs]

Haha, true! People back then were definitely shorter, so it made sense to build smaller doors. Makes you appreciate how much things have changed over time! 😄🚪

[@steveww1507]

average high back then was 5/8

[@KennyRider137]

There used to be door taxes, too. So some doors were made too small to tax.

[@growingpains9324]

how much

[@thezaytsevs]

Too much lol

[@1988sam]

😂😂😂 iam here for the comments lol

[@PoliticsNewsforyou]

Yes 😂

[@PoliticsNewsforyou]

How cool that is lol !!! Cool slogan !!!

[@thezaytsevs]

Haha lol 😂

[@tomsklanka9436]

Whatever you do don't tear it down, just patch it up, will lose the history it has encountered over 200 years!! Wait.. Oooops Just kidding 😂😂

[@thezaytsevs]

Hahah lol thanks 😊

[@dianepoole6336]

It is torn down now!

[@DavidOlsen-e3n]

Thanks for sharing. You got a lot of work to do but you have a good handle on what to do. It’s nice. You’re gonna restore it and not tear it down. Lots of luck to you once again thanks for sharing and God bless. I hope to see more when you get started renovating it, happy new year bye for now

[@Davejohnson-ts2hb]

I would love to be able buy a cabin like that and just take my time redoing the whole thing ...beautiful

[@mechanics4all405]

you gping to rent as AIRBNB

[@thezaytsevs]

thats the plan . thank you for watching.

[@davidkeetz]

very cool. Looks a lot like the cabin my grandfather was born in. That cabin I think was built in the early 1800s and it finally came down maybe 20 years ago but same style of build with the massive rocks for the steps and the foundation piers.

[@thezaytsevs]

That’s awesome! It must have been incredible to have such a connection to history through your grandfather’s cabin. Thanks for sharing that piece of your family history.

[@paulao1958]

According to the old folks who live here in the countryside of Wisconsin, when an Irishman built his log house, you could determine how much he loved his wife by the width of the chinking between the logs. According to this, the builder of this house didn’t love his wife too much.

[@thezaytsevs]

Hahah u crack me up that’s hilarious 😂 made my day.. lots of cool history here

[@judyhoffer7976]

A jim

[@thezaytsevs]

thank you for watching.

[@timothymcpeak9408]

That craw space is the refrigerator lol

[@rosiesgrandma]

They also kept the heat in that way because they were lower and it didn't allow all the heat from the ceiling to go out the door in England if you go back to the the buildings that were built in the 1617 and 1800 they all have very low ceilings in them because they were easier to heat so that being said you're not the first person to you know there's places in England that were built in the 13 and 1400 that... I grant you it's a beautiful cabin and I love the history behind it my great-great-grandfather served in the Revolutionary War okay but there were reasons why things were built the way they were and they didn't have Concrete in the day they didn't have all these things and yes it's a Marvel in one way but this teaches you that you can do something with nothing. If it's standing on its own leave it be. It is historical and it's beautiful just the way it is

[@thezaytsevs]

Thank you for sharing that thoughtful perspective! It’s fascinating how much design and construction were influenced by practical needs like retaining heat. Thanks again for the insight!

[@jupestana2930]

[@matthewtaylor1697]

Maybe it's still under warranty.

[@thezaytsevs]

Haha lol good one

[@StanSwan]

Cool but not as old as you think. Porches were an 1870s thing.

[@thezaytsevs]

it could off been built later since we know many of the upgrades are from 1900s , thank you for watching.

[@StanSwan]

@@thezaytsevs It was built later.

[@ebaythedj]

porch could've been added on later

[@StanSwan]

@@ebaythedj It could but the foundation being stone does not date the building. In a remote place people used what was at hand. They would not bring in bricks.

you know what else is massive?
