Please let Me. Scott know the fans of OBF appreciate him and his willingness to help. Keep up the work Robert.

[@SondraD7676]

The number ONE thing I have learned from your work on The Old Byrd Farm from day ONE is FORTITUDE. You always have a plan B. If you get discouraged temporarily, you always come back with determination. Let's face it, the challenging journey that The Old Byrd Farm has taken you on has been anything but easy. I admire you so much, Robert. The Energizer Bunny in so many ways. The floor looks excellent and no matter what, success! ❣️👍❣️👍❣️

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Scott is such a nice man. He's a huge help to you too. 👍👍👍

[@frankscarborough1428]

Thanks Scott for helping Robert. Progress is being made regardless of the setbacks

[@MrJeep75]

Love seeing the house coming together

[@rikspector]

Robert, What they all said below, wonderful comments. This is the real America, not those who whine and complain and want to go because things don't go their way. The Old Byrd Farm will be a beacon to the American Spirit! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@chriswilford3576]

Well said Rik, Robert’s a ‘sticker’, he just keeps on keeping on. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@rikspector]

@ thank you 😊

[@eringemini7091]

Theres a well built Hallway floor, it will last another *140 years! ** btw in the recent catastrope in NC & Tennessee, Drone footage revealed that the structures that endured the weather best; (with very little overwhelming damage were the 100+ yr old structures. They rarely fell apart, withstanding the brunt of the storm(s) Its a known fact that when changes/ repairs are done to older structures, often Paranormal activity increases( often thru the Electrical systems for some reason).👻.

[@Mari-B]

Scott is such a blessing! The floor is looking awesome!

[@sherrie545]

YAY!! Job well done Robert and Scott!! Can’t wait till next phase.

[@conniepritchardreinhardt9978]

My old house is older then 160 years. I hated doing this job. But my house will be here for many more years!! ❤❤❤❤

[@jamesb6080]

That is one very strong floor. Good work Robert and Scott 👌🏻

[@anniehawkins6321]

That floor is going to make such a difference. Seems like it will add to the stability of the house a little too. I enjoy watching it all come together.

[@kenhughes4715]

Glad you got power back and your floor is coming out fantastic! Hang in there!

[@barbararoberto1258]

Hi Robert and Scott the floor looks great great so far can't wait until it's done

[@karenwright9123]

Hey to y'all, hey to Scott,hey to Kitty. I'm just so pleased the OBF is getting new floors!!!😁Besides my own house the OBF is one I have invested lots of hours on. I really like it, have from the first time I saw it. I sure hope I stick around and see most of it come to life again, if not all. Taking one day as it comes anymore, this is me 👵my hair is white around my face. I'll soon be a septuagenarian. Just know as long as I hold out and can still get internet I'll be watching. Never know when the lights will go out,do we. May God bless,be safe. ❤from snowy Ky.🌨🌨🌬❄☃

[@chriswilford3576]

I’m like you! Taking one day at a time and I’m almost an 77 year old! I want to hang in long enough to see Robert finish the OBF! ❤😊

[@pgrayson3138]

It will all come together one of these days and you will be so proud. I look forward to seeing your beautiful old farm house alive again. It would be great if you would include in your home improvement videos the floor plan and what section of the house you are working on. You have posted it before but it’s been quite a while. It is confusing for those of us that aren’t there to know what part of the house you are in. 😊

[@carrieann1640]

I did enjoy the video. It's an inspiration watching you two work. As to the power quitting, that's just the spirits having fun with you. They have a strange sense of humor, but are on your side.

[@Linney321]

It sure is nice to have your tools beside the work area instead of having to jump up and down to get in and out of the house. Good job. Also Scott, take care of that knee.

[@forecon11]

That knee is long gone, just waiting until the holidays are done to have it replaced.

[@bonniemcvicar-briggs5770]

​@@forecon11❤ having that done too in the spring. Take care Mr Scott

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

I had a partial knee replacement done 3 years ago. Nothing is good as the original but it's a pretty good second! The biggest thing is listen to your physical therapist and do what they say. Don't let it stiffen up like I did! Prayers for you Scott! You can do it! Thousands of us have.

[@cherylradabaugh2720]

Got two knees that full of arthritis .doing PT on the right one currently. Hope it helps ,but its been swollen up since September 30 th.

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺 Scott & Robert! Good job Guys! Aloha 🌺🥰🥰🥰

[@Pets-n-Treats]

I love how wide that hallway is. You could put sideboards or settee's and what not.

[@Lorriann63]

It's those creepy dolls, Robert. See how close you were to them when everything went out? Seriously, you are making so much progress. With Scott's help, the floor is coming along nicely. It takes time, and there are always setbacks, but you never give up. I am enjoying seeing how things are made. I wish my grandpa was around to see this because he had trained as a carpenter with his uncle. That was in the 1920s. I think he'd be surprised how things have changed. I'm looking forward to the next video.

[@alanemosley2696]

Everything looks great. I was watching a video about Blair witch and demons before I watched you....then you start talking about ghosts and haunted, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I enjoy watching you redo this old house. Can't wait to see you complete it. Take care. Be safe

[@cindys.9688]

"Hey!" back to cat.😺 The floor is looking so good! It'll be holding strong for at least another 150 years.👍🏼 I've got to give you a lot of credit. You could easily edit out, or not film, these parts that don't go perfectly, but you don't. You let us see all that goes in to working on the OBF. The good and not so good. Normal stuff, really. I'm sorry you lost power, and I hope you've found out what caused it. How frustrating tho. It's not your fault. Something somewhere needs some fixing. It's not like a water hose where you get a kink in it and you need to twist the kink out and problem is solved. Wish it was that easy tho!🙁 A big thanks to Mr Scott for all of the help he gives you!🎉

[@brendahogue5487]

Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you working on the old Byrd farm house floor and Scott helping you

[@celleduffel1533]

Great job Robert....Mr Scott whatever you did to you knee I hope it gets better and always remember when it comes to a wife, happy life happy wife lol

[@forecon11]

I have a few war wounds from my young Marine Corps days. Not to worry though I have the VA and ortho's taking care of me after the holidays. Hell, I've already had 7 surgeries, what's one more (Scott).

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Wow (to 7 surgeries)!

[@celleduffel1533]

@@forecon11 first off Mr Scott let me say thank you for your service. My hubby did 33 yrs with the army and we are now enjoying retirement. I am glad to hear the VA is taking good care of you and I really do wish you the best with the next surgery. Hugs from Arkansas. (Marcelle)

[@peggyharris3301]

Congratulations on that floor!! Whew that was a workout now I need a break 😂😅…look forward to future OBF restoration!

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Great to see Scott again, and always appreicate his knowledge and his skills in teaching Robert what to do and why they are doing it. Hope Scott's Knee is better soon. Before I forget to state, wishing you both and your families a very Happy and blessed Thanksgiving. The music fits right with the video. Hoping Scott grows his beard back soon.. Gentle Hugs to you both. Will you STILL have ONE bathroom on this house??

[@forecon11]

I have a few war wounds from my young Marine Corps days. Not to worry though I have the VA and ortho's taking care of me after the holidays. Hell, I've already had 7 surgeries, what's one more (Scott). ps. you should of seen the other guys I went up against.

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Yes, Robert plans on a bathroom! I'm not sure of the location though (but in the house!).

[@cathyorlowski1951]

The OBF has come a long way. You are doing a Great job, Robert. It takes time and patience to do the job right. Your on the right track. Proud of you.😊

[@jerrysimmons8227]

Yet another excellent video, Robert! Thanks for posting.

[@davidcarroll1883]

I Never had any idea how a floor was built or made. One can really learn things by watching the adventures of the Old Byrd Farm. Robert is amazing.

[@carriesing]

Put reflextix over the floor joists and about 18” up the walls between the studs. Rodent proofs the house.

[@shellydehart8217]

Oh wow! That’s looking great. I’m a bit excited to see the floor go down. I was really amazed at how wide that hallway is n wondering how long it is. Doesn’t really matter all I can say it’s it looks sooo good. Strange about the lighting. I hope you’ll let us know what exactly happened, that’s if you find out. I’m so happy for the OBF house. ♥️🥰👍👍👍👍🌟🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@alisamurphy5697]

I'm excited about the progress you are making. One more step towards the ultimate goal. Great job guys!

[@marcus54544]

Hard work and fortitude.

[@dianadelahaye7660]

Yeah Robert😊

[@alanatolstad4824]

We had one of those floor lamps in our disaster kit at the long-term-care facility, and we would use it for actual disaster drills, usually involving an earthquake scenario. Those bulbs would get so-o-o hot that we had to be ever vigilant not to get close to it during our scramble to care for our fictional victims (which might also include neighbors if their homes were damaged). If I'm not mistaken, if those bulbs were on for an extended time, there was an automatic shut off? Too many years have passed since I participated in those drills, so now don't remember. Check in to that Robert.

[@lynnmacleod1879]

Robert I'm always amazed at the size of these spaces! The camera doesn't do it justice. So glad you've reached this milestone at the OBF!😊

[@russwabuda1556]

up here in old new england we call that bridging. you should be proud of your work and tenacity.

[@wandaminicka-wojturska1128]

Very good job, Robert. Greetings from Poland.

Looking great…what ever happen to the other Robert, hope he is ok.🦃

[@dolothegreat]

If it ain't one thing, it's another. Looking great! Good job.

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

That's the way it goes for most things 😀.....

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Good job guys! It really looks stout now! And personally, I don't get the "spooky doll head" thing. I mean, they're plastic!!! Or clowns. Guess it's all perspective. I never had bad experiences with either, so they're fine in my book.

[@sheilahosey6085]

Bless your ❤. Be safe.

[@junejackson7958]

You both have done great progress 😊

[@SweetOne.]

It's time to replace some extension cords by the looks of things. It happens, especially if they've got damp or they aren't rated for the power draw. Then again it could be those darn cursed items lol

[@cicikids3035]

[@deborahjordan9688]

Well done Robert I know you must be so happy to almost have a new floor in the OBF 👍👍

Good job.

[@georginastoliker3358]

Great stuff ..👋🏼🐕

[@paulhoffman6371]

Everytime you talk about haunted things getting into the OBF house, I recall your the accidental death of your child ancestor. Of course, Pig Boy in the house and two scary doll heads in the wall, you must have some good security footage. From the miracle of getting the roof replaced to putting down the first new floor, those are big steps. It takes time to make big strides.

[@forecon11]

Well put, and on a Simple Man's Budget. I loved doing this stuff with Robert, I wish I could give him more time. I'll make a framer out of him yet (Scott)!

It sure is taking you a while to get that floor in Robert lol 😂 but I know it takes you longer than Scott

[@forecon11]

I'm the slow one due to some family commitments, but I help him as much as I can break away. It's hard to do any framing if your a one man show (Scott).

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

@ gotcha Scott

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

I watch a lot of KZbin and I watch Simple Life Reclaimed and they are building their own house and they have a basement that they are living in while they work on the upstairs part of their house

[@theboardcrafter1336]

I really enjoy your show but is your friends right leg okay look bright red like staph infection. Be safe

[@forecon11]

No, the right leg has had 6 surgeries. I've got war wounds from my young Marine Corps days. Now the left knee has gone out for the same reason, it just lasted longer. After the holidays (because I don't want to be on crutches putting up christmas trees) the left knee will be replaced. It's good thing I ain't a horse (Scott).

[@mistyadams-ok8cr]

often things go bad when ya get things done. its annoying.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Thank you to Scott, and a great job to both of you. Hope the fix is simple for the light. Electrical devices are wonderful until they mess up. 💡🪚🔨✏🕯
