Walls in place! Graveyard House Ep. 6

[@charlesstepanian397]

"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. ♥️😔

[@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.

[@Mucram-17]

H-Frames were a very smart idea.If you didn't do that. The roof most likely would have settled way more and possibly even collapsed. Sometimes we think we're doing over kill.But in that case it was definitely necessarily I believe.

[@vandyFixer]

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

[@luctrev]

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

[@seanstrehle6312]

The stone work is simply magnificent 👌

[@jfstibze]

Джимми, у вас золотые руки! Вы настоящий мастер 👍 С любовью из России.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@tjkoker]

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

[@edmastin74]

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

[@rce2553]

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

[@DanaRagbir]

beautiful job cowboys,enjoy your beautiful place❤🙏💕

[@rodpotts2666]

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

[@MCsCreations]

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

[@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

[@sapelesteve]

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

[@01bc01ce]

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

[@ThatGirlinLoveland]

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

[@nobznezz]

Not only do I enjoy watching your work projects, but I really enjoy listening to you speak. Your clear, calm voice quality comes through in all of your videos. If you haven't already, you should consider doing voiceover work for other projects but only if doesn't take away from your own work. Keep 'em coming!

[@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.

[@R_Zelig_el]

We need more episodes from this series!

[@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

[@MakerDavid]

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

[@gregmullins1296]

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

[@Z-Bart]

Lessons from our dad's. Priceless.

[@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!!

[@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..

[@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.

[@jamesdayringer710]

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

[@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.

[@garagemakerguy1808]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@jeffsmith1858]

Inspirational. Thanks Jimmy. I think the dead animals need to go across the road into the pet cemetery.

[@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!

[@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.

[@whhsfordian]

The foundation work looks awesome! Assuming it's an affordable option, the wrap-around porch you showed would be the highlight feature that would take the architecture of this house to the next level.

[@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.

[@MillCreekWoodworking]

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

[@danielcotnoir3363]

A Happy Heavenly Father's Day to your Dad Jimmy! I too learned much of what I know, from my Dad. Cheers brother!

[@dragovidic]

That rolling thing.☺Pure genius!

[@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

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

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

[@edJoeMiller]

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

[@splinters_66]

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

[@jeremyspecce]

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

[@21kiel]

That stacked stone wall is absolutely gorgeous!

[@tracischutte7540]

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

[@mattorendorff8858]

Ken is an amazing craftsman. Lost art

[@Shep01]

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

[@stuglover1526]

This series is brilliant Jimmy, great work.

[@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 👍

[@dennis82468]

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

[@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.

[@jimrosson6702]

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

[@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.

[@jesseswinney9643]

Love this build series.

[@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.

[@mikeincinci]

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

[@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!

[@steveslenderman]

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

[@The_Great_White_Moose]

Quality craftsmanship is ALWAYS inspiring!

[@tornadostories]

Well said 🙂

[@KimberlyBGray]

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

[@lauranugent1171]

I can’t believe how much the house has progressed. I hope if you are keeping the horse shoes that are on the fireplace that you hang them with the open end UP. The story I was told is that way the luck stays in place.

[@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!! :)

[@bigbird2451]

That dead end hallway should become a reading nook. Slash sunny lounge, slash meditation station, slash your pets favorite place in the house, slash cuddle corner, slash...

[@scotter_dotter]

That stone work is beautiful! ❤

[@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.

[@dhewitt2514]

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

[@tomim7187]

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

[@starobaronen8284]

REALLY like the graveyard housevideos

[@Marks12]

So happy this series is back!

[@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.

[@steveferguson1232]

The Haligan bar Mike is using is real cool.

[@tonyromaine3202]

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

[@jackson_a_lope]

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

[@hejdingamleraev]

Ken is such a hero

[@jpalarchio]

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

[@marcmmclellan]

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

[@GibClark]

Wonderful progress 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@B-leafer]

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

[@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.

[@jamesbramlett5407]

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

[@mission772]

I love the dry stack foundation. Looks amazing!

[@jrkorman]

Dead end hallway apparently south facing - reading area in my house! The stone work is beautiful!

[@Ray_Sellner]

You're a Blessed man Jimmy.

[@MarkRVillano]

I wish I had the Maker's eye for a project like this. Where my untrained eyes are sending "Teardown" messages to my Neanderthal brain, you're somehow able to see and render the hidden beauty of this home; a home that from all outward appearances looked to be a complete and total disaster. Hat's off to you and your crew!

[@nicholasurie9619]

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

[@charlesvanvalkenburg7592]

I am enjoying seeing this series of videos. I am looking forward to the next installment. You have a way of making an obviously complicated project look easy.

[@SciPunk215]

The stacked stone foundation is so beautiful. Nothing wrong with poured concrete if need be, but this is so much more elegant. Those gigantic sill plates must be incredibly strong. This is no longer a dilapidated old wreck, this house will be around for a long long time. I like the idea of putting a huge fireplace in its own wing of the house.

[@boryscholewinski4370]

A lot of times when I do things I think of you Jimmy. Same reason. Thank you.

[@morecowbell12341]

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

[@megadouche7030]

That one part of this video was very, very nice.

[@GopherWoodshop]

Excellent, loving the updates, amazing progress.

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

I love this series, thank you for showing us the insights behind these US homes
