Sorry for the abrupt ending. Sometimes weird things happen during the editing process. But thank you for watching and remembering the cat!
How is the plumbing?
I do remember Salem. I just can’t take when things change. Hard for me to think about him
I’ve had my black cat with beautiful teal green eyes for 4 years now. His real name is Shadow. I call him Sir Pissalot.
Anyhow, the more I see this house, the more I love it! That front bedroom is wonderful with the original light fixture. Your furniture will be perfect there too!
I LOVE that enclosed front porch! I wish that I could have a porch like that. However, my house is a mid-century Bedford stone ranch house, 1956. I bought it 5 years ago today, oddly enough. I’m still slaving away at it and on it!
This is all gorgeous
Your kitchen description sounds like a perfect match for my cream and green Hoosier in the basement. You’ve given him hope that he might again be appreciated and see the light of day!😂
Hmm. Scott has a new home. The neighbor's cat is pregnant. Sounds like the stars are aligning, lol.
I love your house. Don’t know if it just me but it seems you have a sparkle in your eye. There is just something about having a house and yard
Thanks for sharing ! It’s like spending a day with a old friend !
Thank you, RAndy!
You are a happy guy with this darling house. It’s going to be great. Can’t get over those beautiful floors! They’re in such good condition. It’s going to be so much fun watching your progress. 😁
How exciting lovely place thank you for sharing
The pleasure of home ownership. Yard work and many home repairs. The electric wiring is a necessity yes those pesky codes. So excited to see the progress.
Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day
so glad you updated the wires
Yup, 1905 farmhouse, no closets ! :) What a lovely home you have!
It's coming together more and more everyday! Thank you for taking us on this journey, Scott!
Getting your feet back into the dirt with nature around you is the best uplift ever. You are going to thrive there Scott! 🌾🍁🍂
I grew up with those bedroom light fixtures and one of them was never painted over, so I saw what they really looked like originally.😊❤
I had a house that was 100 years old & had been spliced with Knob & Tube and newer wiring. The electrician said my house would go up in a match if I didn't get it fixed. New wiring was so much better.
Never forget Salem. I'm so happy for you Scott! I wish I could find a "me sized" little cave like this. A kitty would looove that front porch to sun himself on daily. I know I would.
I’m so happy for you. You deserve this darling house. I’m glad you are rescuing it. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I love your new home. Thankyou for taking us along on your journey.
Let's all pitch in a penny, and get Scott some garden gloves!
Congratulations on you new home! Welcome to New Jersey! What a cool house! I am looking forward to seeing all of your remodeling! Love it!
Scott!!! As a gardener may I suggest you make yourself a little compost bin, outta 4-6 pallets and fence posts on your back lot. Bag your leaves and start composting! You will have pure gold soil next spring to work into your new flower beds🌿Your a researcher, you will be so happy with the results, your new home would look so nice😊
You may have to get a leaf blower! I'm getting really hooked on your house remodel. I love seeing the old knob and tube wiring. It also reminds me of my house whee I lived as a teen. It was from the 30's, and there was no closet in my room and a tiny closet in another room. My dad had to knock out walls to expand the closet. I always had an awful metal wardrobe that clanged. My favorite part is your front porch. Can't wait for the next episode!!!!!
ohhhh such a nice old house, love it, and perhaps if kitty is pregnant you could get a kitten yourself again? 🙂
Such fun!! I love the double hanging light fixture. And all those leaves - I see a compost bin in your future.
I am enjoying watching you remodel your "new" home. And I am happy to see you move out of the city to a calmer lifestyle. Good for you!! And the cream and green kitchen will be beautiful.
I'm loving watching your renovations. Your house is just charmimg! You will really enjoy that Agatha Christie book. She is my favorite author ever and I have every one of her books. Sadly, not first editions though. As some one else suggested, a pallet compost bin would be great for leaves, clippings, and kitchen scraps to produce dark rich soil for your landscaping. (No meat scraps though.) I can't wait to see everything all come together. I just wish Salem could have enjoyed the new place awhile. He would have been right at home!
The joys of owning a older home. Maybe the cat will have kittens and the neighbor will gift you one for a housewarming gift. My feral kitten has finally decided after a year that I am safe enough to pet him. He is a Russian Blue and absolutely gorgeous.
I just love your house. I like it better than the city. I was so interested in all the things you are doing, wonderful to watch. I can’t get over the kitchen cabinets, better than any I have seen. You are so talented. Keep showing everything !
I do like your light fixture and your bn old lamps. You're moving right along making good progress.
I'm so glad I can vicariously renovate a heritage home! It is one type of home I never got to own, but always wanted to. I'm too old now, and live in a condo but I had it totally renovated and did it up in a 1940s style. My heart still is sad for never getting an opportunity to restore a heritage home...and now I can experience it through you, without my dealing with the expense or the mess! So THANK YOU, Scott! It looks just lovely so far and I eagerly await the wonderful things you have in store!
It is much fun looking at the progress you are making with your new home. Please keep it coming!!!
I owned a 1921 Art & Crafts Prairie Style house for 20 years. During your basement segment, I thought I was in my old house. I had to upgrade and deal with my knob and tube as well. Fun times.
I love being a part of the reno of your "new 1925" home. If your lovely neighbor is preggers, you may want to explore getting a kitty... or two.
The bungalow is getting more charming by the day Dear Scott . Thank you for sharing this Grand Journey of making your darling home . ❤Did you jump in the piles of leaves 😊 I suspect not , However tempting it might have been. Thanks again Scott have a lovely day and congratulations
Love the property! Here's a suggestion from an old property manager of an even older property of 1890 and up houses. When taking leaves, rake with right hand into a snow shovel held in your left hand. Then people rake against bin,wall or tree and lifting with both hands pick up the shovel and deposit everything into container. Protect yourself with long sleeves AND gloves.
I'm just tickled pink for you and your leaf raking. Not to mention how thrilled I am with the new wiring. Amazing how easily pleased simple things make me.
A parade of previous owners having work done, or they themselves have done it. Can be a nightmare! Good that you are having the electrical system redone. We don’t want your curling iron to blow up! 🤣
Very true!
Plug in your electric lift BarcaLounger and HANG ON!!
I love how careful and "neat" the electricians were while tearing out wires and plaster! LOL I laughed when you sighed and threw down your rake - I can totally relate! Love your new house . . .
I have inherited our family home that was built by my grandfather in 1956. Having to gut it and do many repairs. In rewiring, two toys that belonged to my sister were found in the walls. She was about five at the time the house was built. I returned them to her. I love your new place!
Hi Scott.I am a recent new scriber to your channel and I am so glad to found you.I will definitely be following you in your new house.You really have my days.Someone like you so knowledge.God bless you in your new adventure. Will always be your friend and praying 🙏.
Scott you should be covering the floors they are 2 beautiful. 😊
Time to get yourself some yard gloves for raking, mowing, weeding and shoveling- and that’s just the front yard !!!😉
That attic looks like you could have a nice room there. You could rent it out to a boarder who likes repairing clocks. 😂
A coo coo in the attic!!!!!
I'm a single mother of 4 children and 8 years ago we used to live in government housing. It was a town house with pokey windows in the front and back, no side as we were in the middle, and a 5×5m yard in the front and 5×8m yard behind, smack bang in the city. My children and I hated it, but it was better than being homeless, which we had been for 2 years. Anyhoo, after 5 years, I was able to afford private rental and moved to the country. Best move ever!! 4 1/2 years ago I ended up purchasing small acreage in a semi-rural town and there is no way I would ever move to the suburbs again.
You are going to love it there Scott, I can see how happy you are already 😊
Love the possibilities for you! How fun!
You are soooo entertaining! You are good medicine. You make me laugh because your are so natural.
We had old newspapers in our attic as kids used for insulation. House was built in 1900. What fun it was to dig them out and read them.
I feel the same way about snakes. I use a rake and a small snow shovel to pick up my leaves, no bare hands for me.
The drain pipe! 😂
Oh, do you have blisters on your soft hands from all that raking? I gave up raking and have started using my riding mower to run over and mulch them (supposedly good for the soil). Glad you are still close enough to visit your wonderful honey holes for great vintage items.
Your old 🏡 is AMAZING 👍. Hang on to that rake...as u know,older is made better👍👍Crush leaves& reuse under trees & plants! Excellent leaf mulch that turns into black gold💚💚💚Best Wishes❤️❤️❤️can't wait to see more!
You are so lucky to find your workers ,electricians,….love to see you in a new setting…I live in an old home too… don’t quit…massachusett
Cozy, perfect nest. Thank you for inviting us in!
I am excited for you. Things take time to do but it will call come together. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Scott .... This will be your Labour of Love. Can't wait to see what develops as the projects progress goes along .... 👏👍😉
🍂Congratulations Scott!🍁 Rake those leaves! Soon you will be shoveling snow.😊
Can't wait!
I agree Scott....up to date & code wiring is very important. ❤️🏠❤️
A Lovely Home❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Oh Scott raking leaves is so exhausting. Purchase a leave blower and a Snowblower❄️❄️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!
I am so thrilled for you, your new old home AND all of us for being included in all the future goings-on! So exciting !
Very much enjoyed seeing the _ins and outs_ of the electrical work being done on today's episode of _The Old Curiosity Shop House!_ 😉
Glad you enjoyed it
Loving this series on your house 🏠!!
your house is in very good condition.
Raking 🍂 🍁 leaves such fun in the fall!
You need 2 things pronto - a leaf vacuum, and a pair of sturdy gardening gloves! You can move the chifforobe from the attic into the bedroom that has no closet. I know it’s daunting, but all the work will be well worth it. Enjoy the journey.
Love the new old house. Save your leaves 🍃 🍁 and start a compost pile for your cottage garden in the spring 😉
This is so fun and exciting. Thanks for bringing us along .
When we moved dad out of his house i got an old porcelain light socket with a glass blown edison bulb in it and i use it as book weight displayed on my bookshelf,our house was 1912. Just an idea you might like.
Absolutely love your new old house. I'm sure it will look fabulous when you are fully moved in, the electrical work is done, and have all your things about you. For leaves I mulch them into the lawn with a mulching mower. Easier and it's essentially free fertilizer.
I've been following along, but often can't comment due to tech difficulty. Im very happy for you. ❤
Awesome to see this house, super happy for you! Love the xhoice you made!
Youre starting this overhaul at the perfect time of year. A cold attic is far better than a burning hot one! If you think raking leaves is a drag, cant wait to see the vids of you shoveling snow ;-)
A pregnant cat! I suspect a new supervisor might be on the cards for you, Scott:)
Like your normal thrifting but love following you and your new home adventure. Can’t wait for the next one🙂
I love the enclosed porch. Good job raking leaves 👍 You need to get some leaf scoops.
Get some gloves for gardening. My Dr told me "you never know what used your yard as a toilet". That was when I had an unexplained rash on my hands.
A nice idea for the bird cage holder.
Oh Scott, what an adventure. I feel what you are going through. My house was built in 1860 and only been in one family before I bought it. I'm tackling a lot of the same issues: old wiring, no closets, plaster walls. It's all good, and so much fun despite the occasional frustrations. You house looks like it had been well loved and well cared for. I'm so happy for you. What fun for all of us to share this journey with you. You will make that place look fantastic in no time.
I'd be putting some drop clothes down to protect the floors. Time to hit the flea market for some old garden tools. Went to two different stores to price a small pitchfork and developed detached retinas when I saw the price of over $60! Mower and mulcher will save you work and grass clippings will nourish your lawn. So, your plumbing and water system is ask! Have you met any neighbors yet! See, Mom, brought you a plant for your new home. Are you doing 220 line for your basement workshop! Do you then have to have your electrical work inspected by your town or city officials.
The electricians are licensed and insured.
It would be a lovely time capsule to fashion a shadow box using your original bits and bobs from your upgrading process. A wonderful display to show some of your homes history. I am loving how you are using authentic age appropriate fixtures and furnishings. The things in your holding room are beautiful. The porch furniture… fabulous! I think I may be as excited as you to see it comes to life room by room.
Best of the LUCKS in your new HOME...would love to see a HOUSE TOUR of your new place
Thanks for each installment in the house adventure 🏡. 🧡 Agatha Christy Halloween party was an excellent story 🎃
Thanks for sharing your journey Scotty! ❤
I watched Christie's Halloween again since you reminded me of it with Sachet
With as much as you like the city, I was surprised to see that you bought a house. It’s lovely, and I can’t wait to see what all you do to it. As far as the leaves are concerned, MOW THEM! If you get a mower with a bag, you can compost them if you want.
Oh my , tell me about no closets! I have built in 2, converted cupboards and brought in wardrobes to our 1920 bungalow. Not exactly a replica but we now have storage! Our homes don't have basements so it makes life a challenge. Especially when the plumbing crawlspace is only about 2foot from the floor joists. . as we all do, we work with the it!
back then they used to mix horse hair in with the plaster for strength
If the joy of raking leaves diminishes, you can always mow them and use them as mulch.I am going to enjoy your remolding/restoring.
Hiya Scott! Been away awhile. My home area was hit by Hurricane Ian, so I was w/o power, cell phone service, and internet for 7 days. And then the yard cleanup!! War zone. Anyway, watched the 2 previous vids and I am SO happy for you. Absolutely adorable little home, with all the right stuff. It truly is beautiful and I believe when you're done eyeballs will fall from heads, I love the kitchen cabinet ideas and your color choices. I'm thinking you will add a touch of black, since you love the green, cream, and black items from the 30's. Congrats!
Will you add extra insulation in attic and get some into the walls ? Don't forget fire alarms.
You were so funny raking. Eventually you will see a snake, just run, not to Philly, just in the house. 😂😂. Love your new home !!!
Just remember, they are as afraid of you as you are of them. I used to believe, the only good snake was a dead snake; but, I realize now that they are needed.
My first house was knob and tube. 1936 in Long Beach, CA . I never had a problem with it. I did negotiate with the seller for a new electrical panel and a new roof.
I have two acres with big old oak trees. I'm old really old and thank God I still can rack and put the leaves curbside and extra leave in barrels. I'm so happy about your new home lots of happiness.
Keep the videos coming! And pull out your work gloves for the yard work 😆.
We had knob and tube and still have knobs (wiring has been updated) in our 1913 attic . You can still find insurance but usually a bit more and no discounts . We also had a old screw in socket on the wall before they updated . Dead also we covered it. Neat looking but not practical. Not for sure when they went out . That’s the cutest little door in the attic . I would definitely try to be friends with that little cat lol
I had a similar issue when I moved into my house back in November 2002. It was built in the early 1950's, and the wiring was okay for it's time, but subsequent occupants have jerry-rigged wiring all over the house. I would trip a breaker, and it would shut off a light bulb in the basement and the TV upstairs! I have since had some re-wiring done, new 3-prong and GFI outlets installed, a new breaker box installed and put all the major appliances on their own dedicated circuits. I would suggest you do the same, especially since your house is older than mine. And on another note, those original hardwood floors look fabulous! Looking forward to the continual evolution of this house into the dream home you've envisioned!
I really love your front porch, front door, and those beautiful floors! 😀
Miss you Barb!
Hi Scott! 😺🎃❤️💕
I just love your little home, and the floors are beautiful. I've been told the plaster that falls between the lathe, is called Keys. Tfs 💕
I adore you, you leaf raker, you! I am going to love these house videos.
Glad you like them!
Your house is just fantastic! Thanks for these restoration videos. I’m looking forward to this series
LOVE the house and you are fabulous entertainment for this old antique collector. Had a 1927 home, my favorite of 6 over the decades..
So glad you are changing out the knob and tube. My in-laws has a Victorian built in 1888 with knob and tube. He couldn’t get fire insurance. Built from redwood so no termites. The new owners updated the electricity to the tune of several thousand dollars. I missed the cat.
I looove your house! I am going to show my electrician son this video! Thanks for sharing your house journey and teaching us about the good ole houses!
