      My grandparents house had the log floor joist. Also the basement was dug in the mid to late 1940's but built prior to 1880's. Thus it also had a concrete floor and footers.

      @@JPVideos81 yes there are a lot of those kind of houses in the tri-state area. I live in West Virginia and I recognized some places that you went to that I am familiar with. I can't remember which highway you were on but it was close to a place called Rio. Capon bridge and some other places. Right across in Maryland there's a really old Stone House that has no signs posted on it or anything and it's on my channel a short video. The thing looks to be about 200 years old. It's on a road called stottlemeyer road close to the intersection of highway 77 in Frederick county Maryland I believe.

    Foundation was probably repaired by underpinning With concrete and additional mortar on one wall. Apparently someone cared for this building.
    BTW, the hand hewn timbers would have been rough finished with an adze (like an axe but with the blade turned 90°.

    • @andrewdresher4401
      @andrewdresher4401 6 месяцев назад +16

      you beat me to the punch with discussing underpinning, I believe the house has always been located there and was repaired on site versus being relocated.

    It's a pressure tank! Part of a well water system. Maintains water pressure in the system. When drops to a certain pressure, well pump turns on, the off when a high pressure is hit. Still used today...in modern well systems.

  • @douglamoy5838
    @douglamoy5838 6 месяцев назад +10

    Your "dryer plug" was just a 220 volt outlet. Since that building appeared to be a workshop/garage type building, it was probably used to plug in a welder or some other 220 volt tool. And the thing you thought was a water softener is a pressure tank. The building it was in would have probably been called a pump house. Since it would have stayed fairly cool in there, all the shelves were most likely used to store home canned foods and preserves. Neat old site.

    the concrete is called benching it is done when grade of floor is dug lower than the walls to ensure walls don't get undermined and keep building from collapse

    Late 1800's... Wow. Imagine the number of people that were living there... That house was also abandoned for a long ass time... I wonder how many years nobody lived inside... I also wonder how much time it took to build it originally and how many builders there was... Back in the day, probably not many...

  • @sonplusone7059

    Loved the video. I have an old farmhouse and barn that is made like this one. We have trees as the beams with no nails only wooden pegs. Some horse hair and newspaper as insulation in the walls (complete fire hazard). I was an insurance adjuster for about 9 yrs and I’ve seen the basement foundation like the one in this house before. They might have lifted the house up at some point and put concrete in to support failing stone work. Very interesting. If this house was built the modern way it probably would be nothing left by now. They don’t build them like they use to. 🤗

    The first out building that you showed is called a "Summer Kitchen". They cooked in another building to keep the main house from getting to hot. Also, it was to keep everything from burning up in case there was a kitchen fire.

    • @JPVideos81

    My favorite; an abandoned house! Wonderful explore, JP. This was an incredible home and I think you are right about it being a log cabin when built. Such a shame to see it go into disrepair. I love the tiny fireplace; so cute! I think that was a cold water storage tank in the well house. Also, this house sits on a beautiful piece of property! Would love to see someone restore it, but it’s probably too far gone. Thank you for taking us; I loved it! Much appreciated also! ……🌝

    A friend in Delaware had a house with two front doors built in 1813. The right door was for a doctor or lawyer's office or another business and the left door went into the living space. I've seen a lot of houses like it in the Lancaster, PA, area. Always assumed they were duplexes but maybe not.

    Long time since you did an old house. Like all the videos you do. Always something interesting. Glad they capped the old well. The well house scared me when you opened the door and I saw square hole. I sucked my breath in. I definitely don’t like open holes like that. I just knew it was full of water. Glad it wasn’t. Also good to see you have a side kick with you on this adventure. Stay safe always and thank you

No one has came a long and brought the property cause that's 💯 nice piece of land there 👌 i really enjoyed abandoned videos just something a bout them you want to know the story of the place and what they people were like that once lived there and what they did for living its so very interesting to me ......................

  • @cyrus05w
    @cyrus05w 6 месяцев назад

    At 19:23 depending on how far away the main supports are from each other. There's a device called a Stonewall stacker prong. Perhaps they use this device to stabilize the portion of the wall between two main brackets to make enough room below the support of the prongs to lay the cement remove the support boards for the cement and then rest the stone prongs back down on the now solid cement. Lots of work but it's an idea of what they could have done if they had lots of time and didn't mind life-size Jenga.

    From the looks of the "wellhouse" and the fireplace insert in the main house, I would guess the last major renovation was probably done in the 1970's or early 1980's. Could be someone was in the process of trying to make it liveable again, and as you said, something happened and the project was never finished.

  • @Disastrous.Affect
    @Disastrous.Affect 6 месяцев назад

    I am certain someone with more knowledge than I, will, or has already replied. But my best guess is, that house could have been built in many stages over generations with repairs, additions, etc.... There are so many of these old houses over here in the Midwest as well, sad to see them withering away, they have so much character.👍

    no it does not make sense that the house was moved there onto concrete footings..
