thanks Jon. It's gonna be more house stuff for sure. possibly redo the basement concrete floor is next major step. turns out concrete from ~1900 isn't great. they put horse hair in everything as a filler.
In my area, old bricks are everywhere. I wouldnt say they came out all whole; about 95% intact. I did make an online posting when most of the pile was out "free bricks, you haul". The most that were picked up was about ~200 in 12 weeks time.
I loved it when you said at the end of the video "don't attempt to do this yourself" !! It shows people the truth about hard labor and expenses.

That was one heck of a project. I guarantee I won't be attempting one like it any time soon, or ever.
and i will never do it again.
we are doing it. $10k for removal. Yep, I'm busting out my sledge hammer.
yes! Was wondering what quotes would be for this kind of thing. Best of luck to you!
@@RetroBuiltGames just got last quote and it was $32k just for the removal of 2 (external) chimneys.
This was a great video. Always love the journeys you take us on whatever they may be.

I hope you continue making progress videos of this project. I love seeing transformations!
Glad you liked it! I will have a few updates along the way.
As the bricks came out so easy and whole, couldnt they have been sold as Second Hand Bricks?

@@RetroBuiltGames Where I am, there is always a demand for Second Hand Bricks. So old bulidings can be patched and Extentions can be matched in.
