  • We're moving back home after 10 years in NYC to fix up a 1914 schoolhouse and turn it into a modern home! You can see more photos + story over on our IG. :) / schoolhousehomestead
    This video shows the progress we've made as of 1/1/2022. We did a ton of yard work at Christmas to remove invasive plants, dead trees, and trash. Next step: a new roof!

    Please keep the updates coming. Even if they are small I believe this will be a beautiful home

    Best suggestion-
    Tubular skylights for that central hall. Inexpensive, energy saving, perfect to pump light into the central space. Solatube was wonderful for me.

    Love the video, being that my wife and I have remodeled 9 homes so far, I can appreciate all that you're going through.

    Keep up the great work. I'm so glad you brought this place to renovate. It would have been sad to see it torn down.

    I just recently subbed to your channel.. I love seeing the older structures fixed up again to live in.. lots of people are doing this.. I recently ran across a guy that purchased a Buster Brown shoe factory that was 3 story and about 70,000 sq ft.. He got it for an amazing price of 20,000 dollars..
    Well thx for bringing us along and keeping us updated.. Take care and God Bless...

    Wow! This is awesome! We are renovating a 10,000 square foot, early 1900s general store into our home but the amount of work you guys have to do makes me feel a little less overwhelmed with our own project 😅 - we are documenting the process on our channel if you are interested. Looking forward to watching your progress on this!

      You sound like how whenever I feel overwhelmed.
      I instantly turn on ‘The Reader’s Digest’ condensed version of Hoarders. 🤭
      It works wonders.

    Are there any new updates? We drove by there today and it looks abandoned. the front door has a board nailed on it. I felt a little saddened by the site of the place until I noticed the port-a-john and a dumpster out back. It gave me some hope.

    Please be careful when removing some of those bricks for your entrance and exit.
    I had a friend who made a lucrative door business.
    Out of a similar rural tan brick school building.
    Without any forewarning the back of his building dropped. It was watertight sometimes you never know what you are getting yourself into.

      We didn't! It closed in 1936 as a school. But we did go to the elementary school that absorbed the students after this school closed!
