    Caleb, you should get with your uncle and put these photos in a book. What a cool way to show the history of the house. You could sell them on your merch site or in bookstores. Might earn enough to fund more repair projects. Just an idea.

      @@The2ndEmpireStrikesBack But a coffee table book of just photographs would be amazing. It's a shame your uncle didn't start taking pictures from the beginning of the restoration. Like day 1 after the purchase in just pictures. You could have separate volumes as the years/restoration progresses. It would be a fabulous addition to the merch you already have.

    Is every single person in your family amazingly talented? Thank you, Uncle Jason, for sharing these beautiful photos of Caleb & Kim's home. My favorite shot is at 5:32 of the gorgeous banister curve.....ahhhh. Watching this restoration has been so interesting and fascinating but the true beauty of this for me has been seeing this house come alive again. The love and care that you've given to her is what is going to take her from being a house, to being a home.

    Hi Uncle Jason & Kaleb's aunt, Highlights were the wallpaper at 4:23, the side shot of Kaleb working at 5:48, the floor hole shots at John at 7:28 and Kaleb at 7:37, the bathroom at 8:06, Kaleb working with the metal grate at 11:52, the dog at 13:09, and the shot of a wood feature that was so cool & resembled the shape of a cello at 13:25. I, too, wondered if the oil portrait was Mr. Brown himself. I enjoyed watching the cat coming down the stairs, seeing the Great Room, and last but not least, Kaleb's unique paperclip tattoo. The sky shot was the perfect conclusion. Thanks for your hard work, Uncle Jason!!
