I love it! Great job on the tile and bathroom. Belt sander races were hysterical

Your still having fun. Good. It great fun to watch you guys achieve your goals. Are going back to Midwest to see family for Christmas or staying in NB? Steve Schroeder

The trouble with these "DIY" videos is that clueless people teach others to do they jobs wrong making everything much more difficult and of low quality. I have been a finish carpenter for 25 years and I don't own a protractor because you don't need one. Further, NO corner EVER in ANJY house, old or new, is 90 degrees.

That woman is a hero.

New Bern!!!

I like the wall paper

Darn motion stabilizer 😂

Greedy thumbnail😂🤣😭

Too many people think that their home renovations are interesting.

Nice job on the thumbnail cleavage.

Non-professionals can achieve as good or better results than people who do it every day for years, but it's not easy. In this case, it looks a bit DIY. You didn't even try to level your chair rail (at least not on video). You made no attempt to find studs to fasten to and instead used 18ga brad nails (typically used to hold things together while the glue dries) into the plaster. You color blocked rather than going for harmony with the paper. Your window trim doesn't relate to your chair rail/wainscot cap--they should tie together. You brought the chair rail to a stop at the door trim without a return--these are what make it seem DIY.

You might consider learning to cope the trim angles rather than miter them in a house with odd angles. It’ll save time and give you much a nicer fit.

For such a small room they are very dark colours, nice job though.

Hahah. You've got to love construction tool names! The name of the tool depends on where you are and who your talking to... ie router bit, spade bit, paddle bit, boring bit... same tool!

Thank you for the rekindled memories! As a kid (like age 10-20), we would often jump into the water by the tip of the island near the harbor or even just swim over from North Beach and ride the inbound current through the cut with snorkels and masks and ride it around the the sandbar off the old Current Club. So stupidly dangerous and so much fun!

I think you found a Xmas Carrol or part of it

get a piece of copper pipe that will fit in your strainer - add bromine tablets and you will see your ac running all year with little or no growth- .)

Enjoyed your progress. Looks like a labor of love. Always an interesting and attractive couple?

I wonder if that door is made out of cypress🤔

Note on stripping - there may be a place in your area where you can take doors, trim, etc. to be stripped. They would have large vats for dipping the entire wood pieces. Just a thought might be worth checking out.

A couple from Australia have been in New Bern for awhile - "Sailing Zephyr". Interesting note when they got here they decided to buy a car.

I can see it's a lot of hard work but your efforts are admirable and interesting! 🏡 I found this video through an ad and went to sub! Cheering you on from London! 🌸

Pumped to see your progress!

Will enjoy watching your progress. I too like going room by room instead of projects and mess all over - though you may have some projects like rewiring that might encompass the whole house. Happy Renovatng !

If there is more wall paper to remove in the house, steaming is a more pleasant option. If there is any chance that this is a forever home for you guys, buy taller toilets that you can "age out" with. There's a reason why there are height extensions for toilets for the elderly or physically disabled. Just buy a toilet once. I would approach the entire refit with a view to the future. Anyone can be in an accident at any age and become dependent on a wheelchair, a cane etc. As this house requires a significant amount of remodeling, future proof it now, by widening doorways and making clearances as large as possible, while you are still young and able. At the least, it will help the resale value and if anything happens to you later, the work was already done when the house was torn apart. My sister and her husband used this approach when they built their new home. Wide hallways, lever handles on doors instead of knobs, taller toilets etc. A lot of decisions were made, purely based on how they would use the home as they got older(or in case they became less mobile through injury).

Would love to know how you care for dog's onboard at potty time?

Neat house, watch out fo r the lead paint which it undoubtable has under some of those pealing layers.

You look a little bit like Jack Nicholson.” The Shining”

Perfect for an exorcist. 😮🙀🦶🧕🏿lol I’m kidding it’ll be beautiful. Retire wire the light fixtures and keep them.

It’s obviously 🙄 haunted 🥋🦑😱😶‍🌫️👻🤡👽😻🎃 spooky 👻

Hi new subscriber here! Love the sink in the kitchen!

Good buy. You will both be able to handle this easy 👍

You can tell from your tour that they two of you are going to enjoy renovating your land home. Note- the enclosed room iver the screened porch may have. have also been a screened porch and what was called a "sleeping porch" (fans before AC) - the floor could have been slanted for rain water run off. I have a room like that in my farmhouse that is over the front porch that has the sloping floor - it is also now enclosed with windows on 3 sides. The hugh fan in attic is great for circulating air through the house - also a pre AC way to bring cool air into rhe house particularly at night. The Sconce Lights are unique definitely a must keep. The bare bulb ceiling fixtures most likely would have had small shades to fit over each bulb. Or you used fancy decorative bulbs. They were standard fixtures with early lighting. Check around the base some may have had glass covers that you would keep in olace with flat screws. Indeed you are on a path of discovery with your new hime.

Yellow room looks like a perfect nursery!

Do you have to follow restoration rules? If you do, your choices will be limited as to wall coverings, light fixtures, and windows. It will look stunning but be pricey.

Nice attic windows grandparents had those

It could be a voice pipe possibly to the servants qrts in the basement or kitchen.

That is a Beautiful old home with so much character. They don't make them like that anymore. Not sure what the thing on the wall is though.

It has so much potential. I love the attic. If you can get away with doing dormers, I would seriously look into that. It could become a master suite or an extended family "apartment" or art studio/theatre room.

16 minutes of nonsense and nothing to see

Beautiful house . . . Am looking forward to the Reno's!

Welcome to New Bern! We have lived here almost two years and love it. Cool neighborhood.

Love the house, love the city, and love the plan that you have for it!! We are excited to see how the project comes along.

Must be nice to be rich and flaunt it

Good luck with the house!

Great idea ! Will be interesting watching your creativity with your land based home and your water/cruising based home. When you were in New Bern before you seemed to have developed various interests there so it makes sense with what you are doing. You are fortunate that you are able to do this. Will enjoy watching your new "home improvement" episodes whether at your land or floating home. I presume you know Sailing Zephyr - aren't they also in New Bern with their boat ? Interesting that they just decided to get a car. Enjoy !

Good luck! We will be following 😉

This is a good idea. If nothing else, covid showed us how completely vulnerable yachties are, when the govt excludes you entering and leaving a country or getting food unless you were jabbed. It's wise to have a home base. Sailing channels are a dime a dozen and people watch a channel because of the people in it. It doesn't particularly matter what you are doing, if the content is interesting.
