LOVE that you used the sunburst as the graphic on your soy candles and soap! ❤

[@kenhorne5650]

Would think want to clean up all that debris under the house.

[@nancygeissler2057]

These two gentlemen make a very good team! I can see great progress in the future for the old farmhouse!!!👍👍👍

[@leapingkitties]

I am so glad that Scott can give you hand with this project. It's very exciting to see it all happening. Thanks for sharing.

[@reagankimble9075]

Scott and Dan bring so much to your video!

[@SondraD7676]

Absolutely fantastic!! You have to go slow with installing in an old girl like that. Wow, those square nails are like railway spikes! So very glad for Scott helping you! Thank you, Scott. I am so very happy that you are able to get this accomplished, Robert. Seeing your joy is worth 1000X more than my investment. Your happiness, dreams and seeing you save the farm pays me back and then some, always. Never doubt that. ❣️❣️❣️👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@cjw648]

My house is 100 years old lots of square nails. I even found a tin can with a bunch of them. I also have the original claw foot tub. I forgot to add , all original solid oaf floors, baseboards, and window frame. Also have original beveled glass front and back doors. A few windows are left also. Have coal shoot also.

[@SondraD7676]

@@cjw648 that is fabulous! I love old houses and antiques!

[@Bonnie-hb6je]

Thank you Sondra. 👏👏🥰🥰

[@williamsteriti2718]

[@forecon11]

Hey, Sondra. I'm happy to contribute. We are the real "This Old House". When Robert yells cut there isn't a crew that comes and finishes it up. lol

[@Mari-B]

A great team bringing the Old Byrd Farm back to life! It's looking so good!🙂👍🏼

[@karenweir7310]

Way to go Scott! Pay close attention Robert, he’s giving you the skills to bring this old girl back to her glory.. and of course, he having a historic home too, he’s “been there, done that”.. priceless guidance!!

[@shellydehart8217]

Robert, I have to agree … it’s beautiful! It’s got to feel so good to have this done. Lots of thanks for Scott for helping you on this n knowing how to do it right. Can’t wait when you lay the other boards so you can walk through to clean your pile in the back. You’re gonna feel even better when that’s out of there. Sooo happy for you! ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟👍🐶🐶 .

[@larrysmith6499]

Floor joist have never looked better. I'm so happy for you. Scott thanks for helping Robert. The two of you make an awesome team

[@MegaCricket7]

Scott definitely knows what he’s doing and you are going to learn a lot while you’re working with him. It’s going to be built right!

[@wesc.8061]

Listening to you and Scott talk about his hot sauce was as much fun as watching you pound nails into new wood! Put me down for a bottle when Scott goes public!

[@forecon11]

I've grown Tabascos for the wife and Cayennes for myself every summer. The pepper sauce I shared with Robert is very simple blend of peppers, salt, and vinegar. The portions of the blind is what is important. A good pepper sauce compliments the food, not burying the taste.

[@brendahogue5487]

May the lord bless and protect you Robert and Scott laying new floor

[@andrewowens9382]

Fair play Scott has done a excellent job Robert he's a good help to you 👍 👏 and it's coming all together now it will be great to have a solid floor it's a good start 👍 all the best Robert and Scott Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

[@daxxydog5777]

Glad to see some major progress! And thanks to Scott for the mini carpentry lesson. 😊 I felt like I was listening to my dad explaining things to me, which is the only reason I can do any woodworking at all, which is good since hubby is a lot worse at it than I am!

[@tayloralexander7597]

Sharon here... so good to see the beginnings of the flooring and the two of you working together to get `er done! See you next video. 👍🙂❤

[@kathrynmcadams8091]

Great start, Robert! Looking forward to seeing more as you progress.

[@dorisbotts6414]

Wow! Just moving right along. You're both doing a great job.

[@KatefromOZ62-e5o]

What a wonderful moment in time. You should be very proud of yourself, Robert and Scott. Kate from OZ.

[@gwenb4531]

All the measuring is Greek to me but it is fun watching.

[@howardwest1347]

There’ and old saying. “Many hands make light work”. Thank you Scott for helping Robert. What great progress has been make on the OBF. I am impressed

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

I was grinning like a damn fool watching this!!!! My eyes were tearing up too. This is epic! Best way to learn is have a good teacher, and get in there and get your hands dirty. Always better to take your time and do it right instead of having to go back and fix mistakes. It's a marathon, not a race. So wonderful to see this!

[@hexabob57]

I've been watching this since nearly day one when you couldn't even see the house from the road. It's nice to see things cooling off enough for you to get some work done on the inside. I'm a Cali girl, can't imagine that humidity and heat back there...

[@Lorriann63]

Looking good, guys. Very satisfying to see the new joists going in. It's got to be a good feeling for you too, Robert. I'm glad you have Scott to help you out.

[@oldbroad7672]

Well, I learned a bunch from this video. Number 1 is that you don't want a diiiip in the floor 😆🤣

[@pameladawson4081]

Wonderful !! So glad that the floor is coming together, and you have help. Great job...

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Robert, this has been a two yr long wait to get this far, and to be blessed with Scott helping you with all this and guiding you with what knowledge he knows, is awesome. I Find it totally amazing at just how far you have come with this home, by yourself and the help you have gotten from friends as well to make your dreams come true.. God bless you and all whom have and are helping you in this dream and saving this home and farm..

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

It does look beautiful and a great way to start your rebuild. It will be so super great to have a floor to walk on and will really help. You have good friends and Scott is a treasure.

[@marcbrunson6986]

I'm glad to see someone help you on this part. I'm glad it's Mr. Scott too. I'm caught up on the renovation videos. I can't wait to see the continued building.

[@domsaverese]

Robert Wright of the Old Byrd Farm amazing content, been a subscriber since the first days of The OBF

[@dolothegreat]

Should write your name and date on a board. You never know of future upgrades!

[@monac9459]

what a great day for the byrd farm.

[@amywright2243]

Lol my husband said, they're not gonna use joist hangers? About a half second before you explained that you were going to use them. 😂 I know the peanut gallery will be giving you all kinds of tips!

[@IntegraDIY]

15:32 must’ve hit a nail, for causing that spark. good job man ! keep it up 🏠

[@sheilam4964]

Boy does that ever look good to see that floor at a point where it can be walked on again, to some degree at least. I bet you feel like Xmas came early this year with that much done on the floor. Thx for doing this and sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

Woohoo!! It will take time, but when it's finished, it will look great.😊 Good job, guys!

[@donnaduprey5197]

We need a link to where we can get Mr. Scott's Cayenne pepper sauce! Sounds tasty!😊

[@cornelliacrum74]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[@heatherlandskron]

Looking good guys, good team! Great video!! Have a good day and weekend.

[@kerrygilchrist62]

So exciting seeing restoration !!!! Great job guys ❤️

[@pattucker612]

So exciting to see those boards go in, can’t wait to see the plywood go on ! then you can walk on it

[@rikspector]

Robert and Scott Enterprises! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@margaretgarls153]

You have great advice for repairing an older house.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I'm so glad to watch KZbin history.

[@karenwright8556]

Christmastime a comin,great time to put in some floor. Merry Christmas to the OBF farmhouse 2023!🎄🎀

[@garystaab7835]

Wow! How exciting is that! I know that you're proud.

[@MrJeep75]

Nice to see some work getting done on the house

[@pattiwhite9575]

That is fantastic that you finally are putting in floor boards. You must feel so happy. It looks so strong.

[@kathyniedholdt9533]

Good luck. Good to see 2 friends working together.

[@joannesmith-pares3928]

Love seeing the floor finally coming together. Just one thing: PLEASE rack under the floor, it drives me crazy knowing there will be garbage and building scraps there. 😂

[@diane1390]

That square nails speak for themselves. I'd want anything made with wood to have square nails.

[@soonstrgzr]

Those square nails are just as difficult to nail in too! I have tried. Drilling a hole first does the trick. I'll stick to round nails! LOL

[@flyoverurbangarden4315]

Exciting progress. Scott's explanations are exceptional.

[@kathywalker6915]

Yay! The rebuilding begins!

[@nadineveitch5837]

That's definitely a big moment for the old house, so cool to see!

[@peggyharris3301]

Robert, where do you get your work ethics from? You are a hard working man!! Thanku for helping our Robert…Scott.

[@joyfisher2128]

Finally found time to watch this. Scott makes it look and sound so easy but I know I would immediately mess up the measuring and things would just go downhill from there. Scott, I've got a tenant house that's being partially held up by tree stumps and partially held up by nothing at all in case you are looking for a real challenge. ;)

[@jeniceowen5184]

So thrilled to see the construction and bet the old house is thrilled to be renewed.🎉

[@herbgreen3599]

Very glad to see thus project cranking up

[@JR-wc8zo]

Yay! That is a milestone. Great jobs guys!

[@frankscarborough1428]

Thanks Scott and Robert enjoyed and I Learned a lot. Robert you are blessed to have such good friends

[@vickiebrannon5217]

Robert, I know you are proud of the work done. I am happy for you. You are blessed with good friends, and I am sure you are a blessing to them, too. Thank you for sharing this journey.

[@lilbitiepit]

Hello Scott, I was surprised by your reference to "our friends in France" and the nogging. Escape to Rural France has spent the entire summer putting in beams and nogging between. Noggin Time.

[@janetolp9547]

Good to see Scot helping you.

[@Carolbearce]

Awesome job on the floor joists. Slow and steady is better than fast and sloppy.

[@karenshepler7128]

Hello and good to see you both again and it's looking very good and it's so exciting to see it coming together. Thank you for sharing with us take care till next time.

[@silviasmith5696]

Finally getting a good start on the new floors, absolutely fantastic 😊😊makes you feel happy

[@TheKruizr]

That fish eye lens makes it look like you bought those beams at Home Depot.. 😆 Nice work, looking good!! 😊👍

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

lol yeah it does

[@forecon11]

That's another reason we have to throw the bracing in between. Nothing but airplane propellers.

[@darlenegood4101]

I can't wait until you put wisteria plant starts in your store....hahahha

[@celleduffel1533]

This was just the neatest video..and hello Mr Scott and hi to my darlin Blue!! Can't wait till the next video.

[@jerridavis6462]

Great job fellas! Thank you Scott! So happy for you Robert! Enjoyed from Texas!

[@sheafan1971]

Great project, good luck with everything Robert.

[@DKM905]

@kenhorne5650 I agree! Clean up the debris under the house. If I lived closer, I would come help😂Love the work on the old house. Restoration is awesome..👏 great job.

[@normareed9007]

Ah, the noggins. Wonderful progress you two. It looks better already

[@forecon11]

Somewhere that must of gotten lost in the pond. We will call them that from now on! (Scott)

[@BonnieJeanTlq]

Beautiful!❤

[@WarHoss]

Well there goes your Tabasco sponsored videos! 😂

[@jeanhansel5805]

Blue says, "What's up?".💜

[@madgekilbourn5256]

What a neat group of friends you have!

[@carolheighes9988]

It's awesome to see this kind of progress!

[@marvinjohnson424]

Good job guys 👍🇺🇸

[@pamelasinclair-karney8856]

Beautiful job very interesting

[@quebot1111]

Looking excellent

[@JanTrewhitt]

Great job guys! Keep going, as long as the money holds out!!

[@artillerest43rdva7]

Yes, hot sauce is NOT to burn a hole in your plate! but an added flavor. Tabasco is too much vinegar flavor, I have my own dried hot peppers to go with different dishes. great job with the floor joists. it is the best looking cross supports divided in 1/3 of the length of the joists. once the stairs are in it will be so much easier to get in and out of the house! cannot wait to see the sub-floor in. you are making great progress! one step at a time. You have to keep in mind how many years it took to get it into the mess! and you are doing the re-build so very fast! keep up the progress!

[@forecon11]

I wasn't going to admit this until the next video, but 1/3 will only cost Robert more money. We went back Fri. afternoon and pulled tape at 4' (plywood comes in 4x8 sheets (48" x 96") respectfully. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway we fixed it so all of the sheets will land right.(Scott)

[@johnstephens4286]

Hey, all. This is Susan from WA state. Don't usually comment, but love the videos. I appreciate the fact that you are taking the time to look at every item in that hoard. Just finished helping my friend downsize to a senior living apartment. We went through 4 peoples accumulated belongings box by box and found many amazing treasures. Don't let the haters get you down, Robert! Shame on them. Check out Midwest Magic Cleaning for great tips on working through a hoard. Also love the fire starters. The best botanical I've found for fire starter is dried lavender. High oil content (why it's good for perfumes) let's 1 sprig light it up. I will do my best to send you some starts in the spring. Merry Christmas!

[@lisaclay3137]

How exciting. One more step❤😊

[@JoyceB-qv9xq]

Great progress; excellent carpentry skills. You need a third person, though...me, to help you gather up all that debris under the house and sort through all that stuff that you dread clearing out. I keep offering LOL

[@bethjohnson8234]

Hello Blue….great Job Robert and Scott

[@katbot2190]

How exciting. Starting to look really good.

[@sadie21962]

Measure twice, cut once. Great job. Haste is waste now or later when building.

[@cherylpeterson2289]

I always wondered how an abandoned house gets so trashed. Did the people just dig through everything and toss it on the floor?

[@marymurphy5854]

You totally surprised me today ❤❤❤❤so happy to see this happen. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@marthavojtko6268]

Hooray!!! 👍

[@leem200]

I was thinking that about the square nails and Jesus too. Be cool to make some kind of display or necklace out of them. Or frame a song sheet with the old rugged cross and put them with the song sheet in a frame. Peace!

[@karenchilders2449]

My husband had an ancestor who was caught picking up nails at a site where a barn burnt. In the 1700s. He had to make restitution.

[@forecon11]

I could see why, they are not cheap, especially today. I hope after restitution he got to keep the nails.

[@lainydepp]

A job well done guys. Looking fantastic ❤

[@stubeast4031]

Grinder with a cut off wheel will take care of them thar nails. If you can't find one over yonder, then look yonder over yonder.

[@jameswestover7585]

Yes, exactly so much time could be saved by just cutting off the nails.

[@jefflawrentz1624]

Tremont Nail Company is a great source for square cut nails. Nice work on the floor, guys!

[@forecon11]

I believe they are the only ones left.

[@wandaminicka-wojturska1128]

Beautiful work, congratulations. Greetings from Poland.

[@daleh645]

New construction at the OBF! 👍 You’re really rock’in the “Mr. Douglas” look! 🤓 I will have you know that Tabasco sauce is the elixir of the gods. 😎 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇮🇱 #MAGA

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Absolutely gorgeous and I know you are excited about this Robert
