Beautifully done

My friends and i used to go down there to smoke joints

Super belle restoration! Je te félicite pour ton beau ravail. Salutations du Québec!

🫶🫶🫶🤓I've never seen someone inside a Massachusetts cave honestly terrifying you and your team are very brave keep up the amazing work stay safe!!!

The Olmec on the east coast of MEXICO also told tails of bearded men on sailing ships comming from the east .

The norsmen also went all of the way to the bering straights , through the great lakes to both Minasota and down the Illinois and Mississippi at least to Arkansas .

Hey! I don’t know if you or other mine explorers know but there’s this great tool called The National Map by USGS that has most of the nation scanned by LIDAR available to the public. Could be a great tool to find “lost” caves in otherwise forested regions. Cheers!

I can’t even begin to explain how I’m living vicariously through you thank you so much for having an amazing passion for exploration xo

I’m so jealous right now !!!! Watch out for the “Trolls” lol

I tip my hat to you 😊 👒

Good thing he saved it. If he didn't save it, Connecticut would be one step closer to winding up like, mine and my ancesters home state, NJ. N. Jersey is a mess. S. Jersey is now in overdrive w tearing down wooded area 🪵, farms 🚜 for Warehouses and "Luxery" apartments 😢😢😢My home 🏡 😢 and the traffic in that area, another story 🚗 🚘 🚔 🏎 🚗 🚘 🚔 🏎 🚗 🚘 🚔

It's beautiful 😍

Nice job sir. I too went through a similar project but needed to remove the structure from the site. The house now stands 100 or so miles away on a nice 20 acre site. It isn't a museum piece but is certainly a comfortable home that has all updated technical systems. Looks old. Works new. Congrats on saving the house. I can relate.

I applaud your sense of what is truly valuable, and your willingness to roll up your sleeves and do all the work and the thinking and the research to restore a gem of history.

I would not be at all surprised if this man's spirit was the original builder and he reincarnated to save his home from destruction.

Beautiful boat. Very nice rebuild. If you don't min me asking, how much are you in it for?

Looks really good, damn you dropped some serious bank on this

Thats freaking awesome Mike!!!!!!!

Constructive criticism, no disrespect; lose the background noise. The subject & your narration of it is great! The addition of distracting & annoying music ruined the vid for me.

I much prefer to live in my mid-century modern house with furnishings from that era. But I find these old hand-built 1600s houses endlessly fascinating. The labor that went into the construction is almost impossible to replicate today. Hope to visit the New England region in the Spring.

Thank you for saving this home!

13:47 It looks like someone was behind the hearth and moved out of frame? That or bro caught a ghost. Exceptionally well done restoration.

Try the Dempster. Sort of the same distances.

I’m from the area, just so you know it’s pronounced E SO PUS not esapus

Very Interesting how Vikings were using Long Houses a Thousand years before the Iroquois tribes. It is said that the Iroquois nations began using Long houses in 1000 AD. The same time when Vikings traveled to mainland North America. It is possible that The tribes learned of the construction, use etc while trading with the Vikings. Knowledge is power, and If members of a Nation come across a new technology, concept, way to survive, they will seize and adapt with it. It could have just taken a few young men to look at the construction of the house as it is being made from a distance. then reproduce in their own vision. TBH, the Iroquois nations had a much better use of the housing and adapted different levels where as the Vikings did not.

Thanks for the wonderful video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music. I don't know why some people feel compelled to add annoying background music throughout their videos.

How long does it take

Beautiful!

I have watched your videos so many times - what a wonderful heart felt restoration you have done. I am so inspired - I did sent a message on Instagram to tell you my thoughts on this beautiful accomplishment.

"The house was built on a knoll, facing the Sun to the South . . . and it had a small hill to the West sheltering it from the wind." This man's beautiful words are poetry to some of us, the beginning of a wonderful story of love.

It takes an idiot to deface a cave with graffiti.

Where did you get the console and what model is it? We are rebuilding our 733 and need to find a console like yours. We also like you layout on yours. Thanks

Does a stream flow into a natural opening on the south side of Crane Pond Road about 3/4 of a mile from Alder Brook Road? It can be seen from the road before disappearing into the ground at the base of a retaining wall. It doesn't emerge on the other side of the road.

Amazing!!! You did a marvelous job!!!

Didnt the iriquoi style wooden armor have a "skirt" as apposed to leggings or pants? Could that be a simple explanation of the "one legged" cryptids described in the vinland saga? Could the european surcoats and maille shirts be the simple explanation of the iraquoi oral history of one legged beings?

You are to be commended for your fine work and restoring this beautiful home with integrity. Your passion for history and the art in your craftsmanship is incredible. Thank you for sharing this with us. It's a rare thing to be invited into historical houses.

Lived in Bristol my hole life played around it as a child . Now it's lost in absurdity

Hi Mike, can you please send me the link to lidar maps in NYS? I found it once before but now cant seem to find an easy viewer? Thank you, jer

Thanks for the video

So cool! I'm from MA. Where is this cave located?

Beautiful job !!

The original section of Bethel CT home was built in 1766. It was great to see your renovation. It was also interesting to see so many elements of your home in mine like doors, beams and floors. It great to see history of your home honored in your beautiful renovation.

Restoration? You have indoor plumbing, electric stuff,,the new homes will last 500-yrs if maintained properly

I have that same exact motor - does that red jet drive have a brand or model number on it ? I need to buy one and convert mine thanks ! Awesome video man !!!

I have a similar inflatable boat that is even smaller and can go down to inches of water. A Sea Eagle Paddleski. Sea Eagle is America's most popular inflatable kayak brand (their out of Long Island NY). I have their current model, Paddleski 437ps & the previous model the 435ps which I've had over a decade and used hundreds of times. Both versions fit int he trunk of a car. The tubes are smaller than Kaboat and you can very easily cart these on portages or even carry them with your hands a very short distance alone. The 437ps has larger tubes than the 435ps and can take up to a 6HP motor. The 435ps can take up to a 3HP motor, but also offers paddling performance comparable to the average inflatable kayak which I really like because I enjoy kayaking. Best of both worlds. The 437ps can be kayaked also, but only in calm conditions and it's more work. I'm pretty sure Kaboat would not be fun to kayak at all with tubes that large. But as your using a much more powerful motor, these boats won't handle that kind of speed, but are far more portable and no doubt easier to setup. So portable I've taken mine to more than 150 locations. I compared to Kaboat and met one person that has both. The Paddleski is similar, offers superior paddling and much more portable. But if you need a larger motor than 6HP, Kaboat offers that.

My back yard ❤

I’d like to convert my 20HP Suzuki to jet drive. Can you share where you purchased yours?

I ran down into the unstable part lol

A beautiful restoration! I love the finished look!

SAGUENAY. Norwegian SAGENØY. Sounds almost the same. Sag (e) to saw (ing). Øy= Island. Sure no Norwegians gave name there some long ago ?
