The fire brake blocks is because it is a balloon frame house. Balloon framing was a construction method where two or more floors could be framed and erected as a single piece. Balloon framing was banned when most building codes were changed to stop fire from climbing up the inside of the wall to the upper floors.

Am brand new to this Restoration....the videos are fabulous, great advertisement if this Farmhouse Property is a Flip Project...how lucky the new owners to have this footage and to know and see how well this property was repaired....looking forward to watching episode 8, 9 and onwards....great colour on the roof.

The shutters are way cool. The house will be so much warmer with insulation in the walls. Heating and cooling cost should go down.

What a beautiful property! You are so lucky to have the ways and means to bring it back to it's former glory. It's good you are saving as much of the original fixtures as possible. This restoration and the history of the house and the family who owned it would make a great book. I'd love to learn more. Well done Laura and I'm looking forward to watching your next video installment from here in southeastern Anatolia in Turkey.

I am wondering how you mitigate the contamination of all those paint chips from the soil. The old layers of paint are sure to have loads of lead, and sifting that out of the ground is a huge job. For sure when the painting prep commences and the scraping begins, there will be tarps. If you are scraping yourselves, be sure to mask up and don't breathe the dust!
