I would have left the majority of the lathe and removed what was necessary for electrical and plumbing. Blown in insulation would be the way to go as well. Once you remove the lathe there will be plenty of modifications required in order to install electrical boxes and sheet rock such as nailers and blocking.
When you get everything cleaned up and ready for drywall, insulate every interior and exterior wall. A whole lot easier to heat and cool AND sound proofing. Amazing difference.
In addition, it is essential to ensure that any absorbant insulation is kept well away from plumbing, or any other areas potentially able to be affected by water. What would otherwise have been an inconvenience, could end up as a disaster as it can hide an issue long enough for it to become a major problem. Leaks rarely go away, so the sooner you know about them the better!
Dude! That was one huge mess! Thanks for letting us see the clean up! I hope the contractors make everything right on the bin site. That has to be maddening! DC was trying not to cuss!
I'm actually so shocked on all the issues with the grain bin guys lots of things sure would not want me to buy from them honestly. Cole house is coming along awesome.
In the real world a project like the grain bins would have a project manager who knows the project . Where is the project manager ??? Is it cole ? Is it no one ?
I can’t wait to see how the bin guys get all these problems remedied. Secondly will be if they acknowledge each and every problem and are quick to get it rectified. We’ve been having major major problems since January over a custom ordered overhead door. Hubby who is kind and thoughtful always gives everyone a second chance and he has but now he’s had enough. I’m always the little spit fire about to fly out the door to put the whop on someone but it’s like a cartoon as my feet and arms are flapping in the breeze hubby’s holding me back by my shirt tail !!! Dang, I never get to have any fun! He reported the company to the BBB which they are a member and they have 14 days to respond or correct the issue to our satisfaction or they’re fined and kicked out of the BBB. After that it’s an attorney and small claims court. Ugh, yep we’re having a great time here in Texas!! Yea haw!!!! ROFL
@@jonathankeyser8864 if the customer is the project manager then they are responsible for what goes on at the site , you cant blame the subcontractors for not doing something . Its the project managers job to tell them what to do .
Horse hair plaster and lathe......oooooohhhhhh....I still have nightmares! It's worth the work though. May God bless y'all with a weather-friendly planting season, a storm-free growing season, and a generous harvest! Thanks for sharing your farm life with us city folk!
Sometimes things have to get worse before you can make them better; at least in your house renovating. The bins are a different story, document everything in case you need to take them to court.
Hard to forget those hard Iowa winters. The main reason I moved away to the beaches of San Diego. Now I'm in the mountains and frequently go back to Iowa to visit family.
All that latte and plaster were put on over a hundred years ago. Just think of the craftmanship and pride they took in building, and they did it without power tools. Mad respect.
The first power tools are from before 1900, so I'm sure they had some help. There are original electric wires installed in the walls after all, so power was available.
@@maryannanderson1744 rewire the electric to current code, add internet, etc, plenty of reasons to strip it down to the studs rather than trying to chase down individual electrical issues over the years
@@derekp6636 no need to tear down all that beautiful construction just too rewire the house. Totally unnecessary to destroy a historic house like he's doing! No need for insulation on interior walls. Could easily cut some small areas for rewiring.
Some old houses were built with different standard dimensions. 2 x 4s were really 2 x 4 inches. Same with other dimensional wood. Made it hard to add on new wood. Studs were not always 16 inches on center. My grandfather's house built in 1900 had crumpled newspaper for insulation. There were articles about Teddy Roosevelt.
I will never forget the same lathe and plaster I had to gut from a huge house. It's been...gee...25 years now. I'm still coughing up plaster (no. not really). Not a fun job ad I did mine in the summer.... Thanks for the reminder. Once done, it's worth it!!
DC, I remember the process of loading semi's out previous years. Hard, hard work. 17 augers, all linked up. It's amazing to see how easy it is now. Well deserved. Awesome.
Cole, you are.....WITHOUT A DOUBT.....the HARDEST WORKER I have ever seen!!!!! You AMAZE me!!!! I love watching your progress upstairs! I am SO looking forward to watching your home remodel! Thank you for sharing with us!!!! This was an awesome video!!!!
You are going to be amazed how much warmer the house will be when you are done. Also heating it will be much cheaper, the gas company changed my meter 3 times after I rebuilt my old house.
I have done that plaster demo on a few occasions. It’s brutal beyond words. Soon you will realize you must remove all the door casing in order to install drywall. Also, you will need lathe ( new, used, or strips of plywood to fur all the studs to get the walls back to the proper thickness in relation to the door jambs. Otherwise just add a spacer to the trim and a back band molding. You are digging in deep my friend and that house should be awesome when you’re done.
I love the fact that you clean up as you go when working on the house to keep all the other parts that are in operation clean. Definitely will pay off as you go and in the end. Doing a great job keep it up!
When I first met Cole, he was always cleaning things up and straightening things out and getting everything organized. But now . . . not so much. I can't tell if we are in a parallel universe or an opposite universe. I'm sure at some point the other Cole will return and make everything look new again. 👍
You are going to have an amazing home. I am sure your grandpa is very proud of you. You and your family are very hard working people. God has surely blessed you all. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of lives.
This channel has been so educational to me. I live on the great lakes, Canada and have plenty of farmers in the area. So grateful for the knowledge, humour and entertainment you've provided me and other viewers. Thank-you! Progress looks 👍.
You remind me of the Thanksgiving day when we ate dinner with the kitchen cupboards sitting on the floor and as soon as the meal was done the demolition began as we pulled down the walls and ceilings (all ancient sheetrock) in the kitchen, dining room and living room of my parents house. We were about halfway through shoveling up the great pile of sheetrock on the living room floor and floating dust all through the area when one of my Aunts showed up for the first and only visit she ever made to that house. It really was easier for us to visit her so that's why it was such a surprise that she had come for a visit. She'll celebrate her 103rd birthday come April which is pretty awesome.
I’ve had the opportunity to tear out plaster and lathe. Not a fun time but you can definitely see your progress as you go. Look forward to the finished product.
Knocking off the lath from the backside cut a slot in a chunk of 2*4 to fit the joist so you've effectively got a pronged drift. Then you can quickly just hammer on that working down - less aiming and does two at once with no breaking. Much more efficient
I found your channel when looking at home renovation videos , stayed because I find the whole thing interesting. During one reno I washed our dishes in the bathtub for 3 years!! Still can't believe it!! Finished the kitchen and moved. Your house is coming along great!
So exciting, I can't wait til you start putting up or taking down the wall studs and etc to see the new shape. Praying you can incorporate some of the beautiful wood down in the parlor and front room etc and use it or keep some of those built in pieces.........that wood is gorgeous. Everything is looking great and lots of work and then some but boy it is going to be beautiful........WOW I don't blame DC for being upset about some of the stuff on the bin esp the metal blowing in the winds that looks like it could break off and take a hunk of the bin. Shouldn't the builders made that right and gotten that supported before calling it done.........esp with winter winds and all the winter elements .........yikes! Hope all is done to your satisfaction soon! I can't wait to see the office / control room done and you guys using that! Awesome progress however looking at the big picture........ Blessings
Well Cole, I bought a house in 1981 (two story) same vintage as your house and removed the interior and rewired and plumbed and insulation, sheet rock. I added 2 inch to the studs for the outside walls and allowed 6 inches of bat insulation, plastic sheeting (6 mil.) And then sheet rock. Made for a well insulated structure. Put in a wood stove (Quadra fire) and heated the whole house. Taking one of these projects on is a project and once your into the operation it goes fast!! ALWAYS PROUD OF Y'ALL
There's a million uses for that lath. Got to be a demand for it on your local Facebook Marketplace. Glad to see you cranking on the house! A Gazebo built at the corner of the house as part of the porch...hmmm. I would definitely put one on there, Cole. I received your autographed picture today. I'm proud as punch to own a hunk of the farm.
Wow! Time goes by quick I remember when u first uploaded ur first video and say how much time it will take. Can belive it is actually happening u are so blessed and ur girl is bless to have a good working man. I am so happy for u noth God bless too. And can't wait to see how it will look.
Beautiful banister paneling destroyed! There are ways to bring an old house up to code without destroying wood work. It makes sense to insulate the outside, but when he did new siding, he could have insulated from soutside.
My wife and I admire your hard work.. wish more young folks had that work ethic. I sympathize with you aggravation on the bin problems, hoping they get remedied and you can move on. Great video.
the aluminum grain scoop /snow shovel/dust pan/and actually used for grain sometimes now plaster removal tool! indespencal most versatile tool on the farm good video folks !!
While you have the walls opened I would run radiant underfloor heating up through the walls to the upper floor can tie in the boiler you use for the radiators. Cause once you spray foam those walls and seal the building you will be nice and toasty.
I've removed plaster and lath, there is a unique smell to the dust. I could almost smell it watching Cole doing the work. You're going to have a real showplace there Cole and you'll know every inch of it.
OK, so my Grandpa and I used to demolish old houses in Clinton, MN during the down time on the family farm. We did that for the materials. Plaster and lath stripping was not my favorite. Man, the dust and millions of nails. On one house, we found an old trunk that was papered on the inside with old newspapers. My cousin and I were reading the paper clippings and there was a scoreboard for the prior weeks basketball game. My father was one of the players. He's been gone for years but your video brought back that memory. Good times. Thank you.
So happy to see that the Oliver is not forgotten. 💚💚. Daddy Cornstar, Sure hope the bin contractors were watching this video…. Where is ensuring you build to specifications? I have lived thru a very small remodeling in a home.. I can’t imagine living in that…. I am sure it will be worth the effort when completed…
As far as the side chute on the bin that is wiggling in the wind, could you run a straight metal bar from the bin out to the bottom of the chute and connect on the back of it to give it more rigged support? Hope the idea helps.
im really curioua to see what styles you end up going within the house old but modern or haha it will look good i bet cant wait to find out great content and such a strong loving family stay safe fellas!!
You’re killing me Smalls! I couldn’t even bear to watch this. Pull the doors and trim that’s going to be pulled first, cover and tape railings n floor then demo. That staircase was crying mercy.
Suggestion for when everything is finally done at the pin site once you have to start running the sweep unload from the first bin enough to load what’s left in the second been into it that way you can just sweep everything to the Center some or follow it around for a day and make it one large day run so there’s just that little bit less wear and tear on the motors from starting up and stopping which should make them last just that little bit longer
I'm sure it does seem all hectic at times but I started watching your channel because of this house rebuild and now love learning about farm life. Dont take offence but daddy cornstar is my favorite. Keep up the good work and have a great day
I sleep well at night. My dude, I have NO doubt LOL I've gotten a little behind in my house renovation plans. USPS can be a tough mistress. But with spring planting coming up, I got all my seeds ready to go, I have all but one raised bed built, and I got my fruit trees planted. So, I guess the outside's going well! Now to catch the inside up!
I feel for you Cole. I went through knocking the plaster and lathe down in my house and what a mess! That was only two rooms and the bathroom. I can't imagine as large an area as you have but it will be so worth it when you're done!
Use the thickest sheet rock you can buy to replace the plaster. You will be able to hear a lot more noise once all the plaster is gone and you install sheet rock. Put some insulation in the interior walls.
You have to tear it down before you can build it back up and it will look great. It’s also cool to see the old knob and tube as well as plaster and lathe. Any horse hair?
Cole a little tip for you as I have done this kind of work for years. When it comes time to insulate get closed cell spray foam insulation. You will thank me for that advice!
Nice video guys! Probably one of my favorites, really liked the editing and showing all the angles from everyone’s perspective. Nice music selection too! 👍👏👏
I am amazed by how much you have accomplished! Well done young man! House is gonna be beautiful when you are done! What a wonderful place to raise a family!
Great Video today, lots of progress on the plaster demo and that is heavy dusty stuff. Did I notice the Case 580 Backhoe leaving today?..... Nice to see the Family working together on the dryer shack, DC was right in that before the trim and anything else goes in best time to paint touch up or second coat for sure. So you left us hanging there with Scott whats up? One Casey's pizza and a dozen doughnuts..... Glad DC got video on the side chutes swaying in the wind as that would be #20 for your list of things to get completed. Thanks as always for bringing us along on your daily adventures!
Our first home was lathe and plaster, knob and tube wiring, and insulation was non-existent. Ah, the good ole days. You are going to have an awesome home when done. Good for you. Gramps would be proud…and maybe a bit jealous. ❤️
Am I the only one who’s heart broken to see that beautiful wood in the staircase just ripped out? I feel like the beautiful character and all the hard work his grandpa put into that home is being destroyed. I understand putting in insulation but why destroy the staircase? So sad. 😢
I gutted out our first home that had lathe and plaster. Lucky for me, I had a cistern that needed to be filled and I shoveled out the upstairs window and then into the cistern, it took all but the last room. The lathe was taken out and burnt. It was so dry, you could light it with a match and went up quick. A little hint, if you are putting up drywall you'll need to shim it out so that it is flush with your existing door and window jambs.
Lathe and plaster nightmare! Our house was built in the 1800's every time we gut a room the walls are filled with black railroad soot! Motivated to just put up 1/4" drywall over the existing walls LOL!
Cole, you are one five star, gold medal, first place winner of an ambitious man. A suggestion: If Nave has a brother(s), marry her then shame her brother(s) into helping you on the house interior project by telling them their sister deserves a nice place to live and raise a family. No brothers, well you're on your own in that case..... OSHA called, they want to discuss the plaster on the steps!
Wow I hope it does not rip the bin siding off. That is a worry I’m sure. Man that plaster is a huge mess. Your home is going to be much more efficient one you get insulation in the walls. Good for you.
More house, more house, please. I started watching your channel for the house and stayed because of your family.
Me too
Me too!
Me three

When you get everything cleaned up and ready for drywall, insulate every interior and exterior wall. A whole lot easier to heat and cool AND sound proofing. Amazing difference.
and do so using sound insulation. No it is not the same as thermal insulation.
In addition, it is essential to ensure that any absorbant insulation is kept well away from plumbing, or any other areas potentially able to be affected by water.
What would otherwise have been an inconvenience, could end up as a disaster as it can hide an issue long enough for it to become a major problem.
Leaks rarely go away, so the sooner you know about them the better!
That’s a tough job been there 3 times. It’s very rewarding once it’s all done. Your family is great working together!!
Dude! That was one huge mess! Thanks for letting us see the clean up!
I hope the contractors make everything right on the bin site. That has to be maddening! DC was trying not to cuss!
I really hope you get your GC to fix these issues. Wow
Excited to see the walls down to the studs! Won't be long until you will have wire running through them. Looking forward to watching the remodel!
Cough cough Asbestos …
That lathe makes wonderful garden stakes and trellises too! I'm glad you're recycling some of it.
I'm actually so shocked on all the issues with the grain bin guys lots of things sure would not want me to buy from them honestly. Cole house is coming along awesome.
Agreed. Nothing’s gonna be 100 percent but some of those issues shouldn’t have been issues in the first place

I feel for you Cole. I went through knocking the plaster and lathe down in my house and what a mess! That was only two rooms and the bathroom. I can't imagine as large an area as you have but it will be so worth it when you're done!
I am so excited to see the progression on your house. It is going to be such a beautiful "mansion" when you are finished!! Keep up the hard work!
Use the thickest sheet rock you can buy to replace the plaster. You will be able to hear a lot more noise once all the plaster is gone and you install sheet rock. Put some insulation in the interior walls.
You have to tear it down before you can build it back up and it will look great. It’s also cool to see the old knob and tube as well as plaster and lathe. Any horse hair?
That’s always the problem after a disaster. Material and competent contractor shortages.
Cole a little tip for you as I have done this kind of work for years. When it comes time to insulate get closed cell spray foam insulation. You will thank me for that advice!
He already has and said he will again for the rest.
The lath will make a great corn crib gazebo!
The reno is how i found this channel. Love it
Nice video guys! Probably one of my favorites, really liked the editing and showing all the angles from everyone’s perspective. Nice music selection too! 👍👏👏
Good job Cole, and on such a blustery winter day!
I am amazed by how much you have accomplished! Well done young man! House is gonna be beautiful when you are done! What a wonderful place to raise a family!
Great Video today, lots of progress on the plaster demo and that is heavy dusty stuff. Did I notice the Case 580 Backhoe leaving today?..... Nice to see the Family working together on the dryer shack, DC was right in that before the trim and anything else goes in best time to paint touch up or second coat for sure. So you left us hanging there with Scott whats up? One Casey's pizza and a dozen doughnuts..... Glad DC got video on the side chutes swaying in the wind as that would be #20 for your list of things to get completed. Thanks as always for bringing us along on your daily adventures!
Blame the guys who put the bins together, it’s clear that those chutes should have had bracing. the contractors seem shady to me
Anything exposed to the wind like that should have significant bracing.
Strange times we are living in - with lots of confusing distractions.
Shady AF
Multiple crews will do that with no one sure who did what when in the end.
@@OOpSjm Not my job
Our first home was lathe and plaster, knob and tube wiring, and insulation was non-existent. Ah, the good ole days. You are going to have an awesome home when done. Good for you. Gramps would be proud…and maybe a bit jealous. ❤️
Am I the only one who’s heart broken to see that beautiful wood in the staircase just ripped out? I feel like the beautiful character and all the hard work his grandpa put into that home is being destroyed. I understand putting in insulation but why destroy the staircase? So sad. 😢
I love old classic cusom homes of past times. I also loved the old Yesteryear Barns . Cole is a very Smart,HARD WORKING OCD youngman.
I was just thinking today that you were about to give us an update on the house soon.... pretty awesome. I'm like psychic
Looking good! Hope you get the bin done soon.
All is well! God bless you all!
I gutted out our first home that had lathe and plaster. Lucky for me, I had a cistern that needed to be filled and I shoveled out the upstairs window and then into the cistern, it took all but the last room. The lathe was taken out and burnt. It was so dry, you could light it with a match and went up quick. A little hint, if you are putting up drywall you'll need to shim it out so that it is flush with your existing door and window jambs.
Lathe and plaster nightmare! Our house was built in the 1800's every time we gut a room the walls are filled with black railroad soot! Motivated to just put up 1/4" drywall over the existing walls LOL!
It’s cool that one day your kids will get see the house remodel and all the progress that you guys have done on the farm.
Father -in-law worked for Oliver/White/New Idea until the plant closed. Nice to see his handiwork still working on the land.
The plaster on your old home was beautiful. As someone who loves restoring old homes this is painful to watch.
I'm so happy you are finally getting your mansion insulated nd remodeled. Thank you for sharing.
Glad your showing work on the house, you are a hard worker Cole!!!
You are going to be so pleased with your house when it's done. Ready for many generations of Cornstars to come.
Cole, you are one five star, gold medal, first place winner of an ambitious man. A suggestion: If Nave has a brother(s), marry her then shame her brother(s) into helping you on the house interior project by telling them their sister deserves a nice place to live and raise a family. No brothers, well you're on your own in that case.....
OSHA called, they want to discuss the plaster on the steps!
Cole is it cold upstairs? The wood trim and the doors are so beautiful in your home. I know you are getting excited to get your home finished
Just in the north room. Otherwise it is room temperature.
Love seeing the house coming along, I know it takes ages for the base work but it will be so worth it when you've finished! Exciting times!!
Keeping busy, doing what you can while you can. All the issues and problems that are occuring with the bins.... Something is not right there....
Wow I hope it does not rip the bin siding off. That is a worry I’m sure. Man that plaster is a huge mess. Your home is going to be much more efficient one you get insulation in the walls. Good for you.
