[@orpw12]

You have no idea how excited I am to see a new installment in this series. My daughter and I watch all of your videos together.

"I think of my dad. Everytime" . Love it

[@charlie-jay]

My Dad passed two weeks ago, and at his funeral last week we invited those who wanted to contribute a short note or story of something they learned from him. It was prompted by your video earlier this year on tips from your Dad. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this idea - it was wonderful!

[@cybersurfer2010]

I think of my dad so often. He passed away in 2021 at 87 years of age. Lots of things I do or know are from him! Always in my memories…

[@StaceNyourFace]

My father passed in 2012. He was a carpenter for 30+ years. There are many things that I do, especially carpentry related, that I think about him every time, as well. It's a combination of mixed emotions....sadness and pride. I miss him dearly. God bless you, Jimmy. I can feel the sadness in your voice every time you speak about your father! ❤🤗

[@Nermash]

My dad passed away 2 weeks ago, I miss him so much…

[@StaceNyourFace]

@@Nermash Sorry for your loss. ♥️😔

[@vandyFixer]

That is some very nice stone work. Well done Ken.

[@seanstrehle6312]

The stone work is simply magnificent 👌

[@luctrev]

6:05 "... and I think of my dad every time". I miss my dad so hard, every day! 🥺

[@brians9072]

Jimmy, seriously, this needs to be a weekly series. This rebuild is so awesome and it's a challenge to watch bits and pieces here and there.

[@tjkoker]

"Mike is like an action figure". Haha! Classic Diresta. Great journal on. the Graveyard House. Thanks Jimmy. Cheers!

[@garagemakerguy1808]

Looks beautiful! Doing it right. Another true labor of love 😁 Thanks for the great content and saving a piece of history.

[@Shep01]

2:45 best quote of the video. Also that dry stack stone work was top notch

[@splinters_66]

Awesome update, absolutely love Kens stone work, what a master, that room and fireplace will be an amazing space with those views 👏

[@edJoeMiller]

Honestly Ken is my favorite part of this series, he's an incredible artist with the stone

[@WoodworkJourney]

I’ve never wanted to be friends with someone more than when Ken was having a great old time and wearing an AC/DC shirt

[@DanaRagbir]

beautiful job cowboys,enjoy your beautiful place❤🙏💕

[@bradhall3948]

Jimmy - I can't thank you enough for putting your craft here for all to watch. It makes me smile. The best part to me is when you do stuff in an unconventional method. You work hard and surround yourself with hard workers. No task is too big, or too small.

[@sapelesteve]

Awesome & fantastic work as usual Jimmy & crew! Loving this series! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@01bc01ce]

That stone work is absolutely stunning. Oh, the framing is also nice ;)

[@rce2553]

This graveyard house series is very interesting, good work being done, thanks for sharing.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Jimmy! The place is looking fantastic! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@dragovidic]

That rolling thing.☺Pure genius!

[@GopherWoodshop]

Excellent, loving the updates, amazing progress.

[@DD47N1]

It's all looking so good Jimmy! For the weird dead-end hallway, I think I would take advantage of the window there for the natural lighting and kind of make it a reading nook. A built-in book shelf and a comfy chair would be all that it needs.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I've said it a previous video but Ken is an incredible artist, the fondation looks amazing 👍🏻

[@Aimi-ana]

Jimmy, I've been watching these videos for years now. They brighten my days and motivate me to be better at all the crafts I use on the farm! Cheers!

[@jjbode1]

I’d normally watch Engles Coach Shop just before bed but watching you work is just as relaxing, so thanks.

[@jfromdedbydezine2409]

Wanted to thank you, after reading your comment I thought I'd look up Engles Coach & I'm very happy I did. You have yourself a great day.

[@edwardperrault3650]

@@jfromdedbydezine2409 Go back in time and find the Engles Coach videos showing the work on the Borax Wagons (particularly when they built the wheels). I've been following the channel since I ran across those videos years ago.

[@scotter_dotter]

That stone work is beautiful! ❤

[@tracischutte7540]

Always look forward to vids on the Graveyard house!!!! Coming along great!

[@phyllisrustifo3315]

I love the look of what the house looks like currently! Adding a wrap around porch looses that feel and it’s not appropriate for the age of the building structure. I like watching all your steps. My 1830s house took a long time. And we lived in it at the same time!

[@jimmydiresta]

I agree I am not 100 on it too much going on to cover it up

[@R_Zelig_el]

We need more episodes from this series!

[@gregmullins1296]

Thank you for the long screw to square a board tip! You are the best

[@stuglover1526]

This series is brilliant Jimmy, great work.

[@mattorendorff8858]

Ken is an amazing craftsman. Lost art

[@LaBizounerie]

I'm only redoing a bathroom in my basement and I can't seem to see the end of it!! I can only imagine having to redo a whole house! Thanks for the inspiration!! :)

[@MillCreekWoodworking]

Good god....that man does beautiful stone work.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

I love those pine floorboards. It would be neat to try to sand and save them. I'm a builder and everything that is going on there is what I would do. How gratifying. Cheers, Lee

[@dennis82468]

Thanks for the update on the house. I’ve really enjoyed this series

[@tornadostories]

Hey Jimmy - Just here acknowledging this amazing project, as well as Mike the Machine, and Ken the Stone Wizard. Brilliant work guys. Instant like 👍

[@jeremyspecce]

what a transformation. This place is going to be incredible!

[@Ray_Sellner]

You're a Blessed man Jimmy.

[@dhewitt2514]

Great video and brilliant commentary at the end. Couldn’t agree more.

[@jamescole5658]

I’ve been really looking forward to the next episode of this build it’s so interesting please show us all you do here it’s great to see

[@chadweir1246]

Love dudes like Ken and Mike, Salt of the earth and full of a lifetime of knowledge and experience on the job. So much to be learned from guys like that!

[@nairbllebpmac4179]

Jimmy this is a lot of work but so awesome thinking how beautiful this home will be when completed. The graphic with the wrap around porch looks really nice. Thanks as always for sharing.

[@21kiel]

That stacked stone wall is absolutely gorgeous!

[@goptools]

Hi Jimmy. Wow, amazing progress! I love it how you are faced with some difficulty, and you think through it and find a workable solution. Also like how you are keeping the old look, like with the lighting, but using modern products. The finished product is going to be beautiful!

[@jpalarchio]

So many projects! Great content, loved seeing the updates on both buildings.

[@jdgindustries2734]

Looking great! Definitely a superb rebuild.

[@Marks12]

So happy this series is back!

[@MooreDoing]

Love this series! Ken is the man! Would love to learn from him 🍻

[@davebauerart]

Beautiful work by Ken. Great seeing the progress!

[@kisssys5414]

When you started this project I just shook my head, Left and Right, now I'm shaking my head Up and Down. You are wonderful talent.

[@ethanwanzek2603]

Glad this series is back! What a long winter!!

[@Z-Bart]

Lessons from our dad's. Priceless.

[@jamesdayringer710]

I truly enjoy this project. It has design, construction and history all at the same time.

[@funkojones2947]

Every video I am in awe of of Ken's work ! I love the stone stack foundation. I hope that he has apprentices and they carry on this tradition. It would be such a pity to see this kind of craftsmanship be lost to history.

[@tonyromaine3202]

Your mason is incredible. Skill like that is hard to find, but important to have.

[@philliparudolph9595]

you have become a wise man taught by a master. that foundation is georgous and I'm a HUGE fan of the wraparound porch

[@patkane5018]

Ken is amazing!! Skills like that are not easy to find, I hope he has a few apprentices working for him so those skills are not lost forever!!

[@rodpotts2666]

I think of my Dad the same way, all the tricks he tought me are way more special now!

[@steveslenderman]

Moving along great. Taking the time needed to do it well and as able. That stone work is amazing!

[@MakerDavid]

I've learned a lot about how foundations and drainage works from these videos.

[@jackson_a_lope]

Ken is such a rad dude. Loving the cemetery house series Jimmy!

[@patricksullivan9951]

Hi Jimmy, first off I have to say your Stone Mason Ken is friggin AMAZING! It looks incredible. So far everything you have done will make that home last another century at least! I'm really looking forward to future episodes on this build! Keep up the great work, you are the KING!!

[@alibronx2112]

Such great work and great characters to work with!

[@mission772]

I love the dry stack foundation. Looks amazing!

[@jimrosson6702]

Jimmy the graveyard house is looking great the stone work is beautiful. Can’t wait to see it finished. Thanks for sharing

[@craigmoore7521]

Amazing work!!! I look forward to seeing more!!

[@jeffreyspilker2209]

Mr Diresta great episode. Coming along wonderfully. That ken does an awesome job they should call him lazor ken those walls look so straight 😅can't wait to see next episode

[@tomim7187]

By maker camp it will be all dried-in! Great progress, Jimmy!

[@kg4gav]

I know the stone work is spectacular, but a big shoutout to Ryan with the digital renderings. Most people have no idea how much time and effort goes into making a detailed model like this, and how much time and money it can save on a project when you can virtually see all the pitfalls and potential of every design change in a matter of minutes. A skilled architect like Ryan SAVES you money, time and heartache in the end.

[@gregkrueger331]

There are lots of channels on youtube that do old house “restorations” but not many take the time to build with regards to it matching the old historic parts of the house. This is reminiscent of “this old house” back in the day.

[@edmastin74]

Finally, must have been one heck of a winter in NY.

[@jesseswinney9643]

Love this build series.

[@morecowbell12341]

Really cool to see this transformation. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@KimberlyBGray]

This is a sweet Father’s Day video for all Dads! Just found your channel through a comment on Brent Hull’s channel.

[@hejdingamleraev]

Ken is such a hero

[@starobaronen8284]

REALLY like the graveyard housevideos

[@The_Great_White_Moose]

Quality craftsmanship is ALWAYS inspiring!

[@tornadostories]

Well said 🙂

[@ThatGirlinLoveland]

The addition it would look fantastic with big French doors, give a great view of the back field.

[@marcmmclellan]

I can’t believe that stacked stone! Amazing work! The build is coming along!

[@noskills9577]

Was very happy to see this update - nice one

[@GibClark]

Wonderful progress 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@xthrubyx]

I get that this is a huge undertaking, but I need updates on the Graveyard House more often, man! I was just wondering where it stood and see this today. Awesome. Absolutely love this series. Great job.

[@Do_Odles]

Love that stone work, is beautiful!

[@anthonydtobias]

Nice to see an update. I have enjoyed watching you guys save this house.... And that man is amazing with those stones. That is going to look beautiful.

[@trustbuilders4542]

Man I have been waiting for this! This is a great series. Start looking for the next house LOL!

[@B-leafer]

Awesome! Ty. I wondered how the graveyard house was coming along. Great job. Outstanding choices.

[@ramsaysg]

Great, been waiting ages for a return to the house

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

It's really nice to see renovations like this done with care and quality. I think it's the right call to get walls in and get the structure stabilized ASAP and worry about windows later, and the planning for extra insulation is a big plus too.

[@wickedwoodtwistedsteel882]

Amazing work.. the graveyard house is coming along nicely. don't get discouraged by the people telling you to move faster that's BS. If you want something done well it takes time. I'm inspired by you on a regular basis. Ken looks like a man that could have moved a whole mountain piece by piece from the mountain top to the basement level. beautiful work.

[@larrylane6512]

Going to look great Glad the house could be saved

[@JohnThorpe1623]

I’m enjoying this series. Thanks!

[@baronclime6423]

It's coming together nicely. As far as the framing, you have to do with the structure you have and other things you do and don't have. Looks good.

[@adampbrito]

Jimmy, I'm a Brazilian fan, I admire your creativity, knowledge and talent to create and execute your projects.. Thank you for sharing a little of all this with the world..

[@scalewarmachines]

Thanks Jimmy, what a project! I’m enjoying it a lot.

[@johnmckee7988]

Jimmy, The respect for the old time skills you show is appreciated. Your masons skills are fantastic. Also appreciate the fact you have attempted to salvage as much as possible. Best of luck with the rest of your restoration.

[@mikeincinci]

Slow and steady. The craftsmanship is already showing. Good luck with the rest.

[@Blitzenwagon]

Was waiting for an update.. love your work and explaining on everything 👌🏻 Good luck with the next part ..

[@jamesbramlett5407]

Damn, Ken's work is gorgeous Haha, 'action figure' 💯 Lookin good Jimmy

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Such a fabulous adventure of thought, muscle & alignment with kindred minds & spirits. Such exciting, inspiring, deeds of derringer do. Thank you for sharing!

[@nicholasurie9619]

I love your little story about your dad -- it was so sweet.
