It sounds like you have a sensible plan for projects to do over the winter. We're rushing to strip, restore, and paint windowsills before we get any serious rain. A number of years ago 'distressed' wood was huge. I recall seeing very expensive 'hand-scraped Brazilian cherry wood' flooring advertised. We have a breakfast room and computer room/library (probably a sleeping porch when the house was built) that originally had layers of linoleum covering the floor. The wood underneath is 'vertical grain fir' in about 3 inch wide planks, running perpendicular to the 1 inch white oak in the rest of the house. The color and grain are really nice, so we just had it sanded, stained, and finished, flaws and all. So yes, I agree that your door proudly wears it's scars. :)
Shower- I stayed in a efficiency hotel in London where the shower opened directly into the room and it wasn't awkward at all. Makes maximum use of the space. Also, the chateau renovation channel 'How to Renovate a Chateau Without Killing your Spouse' had to put a bathtub right in the guest room. It looked like an elegant feature rather than awkward retrofit.
Since the basement will follow 1920s styling, you should consider using flexible “tin” ceiling tiles when you’re finishing the room. Depending on the installation method, you could still have access to all of your electrical lines as opposed to poking holes in drywall and then having to patch it.
I think that they walls downstairs is great! I would scrub it down and paint it white again ( my own opinion ;) ). You have so much to work with! I know that it's a lot of work but I'm living vicariously through you because you are doing something that I've always wanted to do
You are doing a great job on the house and the videos are a pleasure to watch. But your roof and foundation issues seem to never go away. Of all the things you could do to make the project go faster and easier, getting professional help to do those two items will speed you up by years. Maybe someone like the electrician who helped out would be willing to pitch in and help move it along for the advertising.
I think it would be cool if you used "warm" lights for the "electric" lights and "cool" lights for the "gas" line, or vise versa. That way you can have the lights to keep you awake, and also the lights to have the authentic yellow coziness.
Suggest including a diverter to a flush mount ceiling rain shower along with your vintage shower unit. It won't interfere with your aesthetic but it will allow the shower accommodate modern shower pressure.
And God said "Let there be light!" You wanna save your eyesight, Kaleb! I think that's a cool idea to have a 2-way dimmer so when you want the Victorian ambiance you can have it. Hope the shower installation goes well so you'll finally have all your basic needs in one place. Will look forward to the basement room's transformation.
Your rehabbed basement door is Re: the drafty plywood door blocker. You can chink the racks around the plywood with strips of rags ( I would prefer strips of foam rubber, if you have some). Properly done you can cut the draft by 99%. It’s a great temporary fix. Old houses are drafty. I’ve got a laser thermometer that I use to hunt down draft sources, and then chink them until they can be properly addressed.
@@The2ndEmpireStrikesBack in great thanks, well no matter what the room is, I just love everything about your house! I am copying your whole house, just wait till you see my next video, you will see what I mean! If really love to have a chat acaisionally, oh I'm heading over next you, your house is right at the top of the list to visit. Cheers, Mike
Perhaps you can repurpose the Doctor's cabinet doors as doors for the bathroom and another location, remove and re-use the cabinet shelves (since they look built in) thereby adding another 12 or more inches in width to the hall way you'll make between the bathroom and the back door in the basement?
House looks so atmospheric and romantic in the opening with the lightening in the background. You are doing a good work by preserving the past. Door looks terrific.
I forgot to say, you showed a view of the stairs I have never seen before, I'm currently working out where my stair well will be, I'm making sure I have the void going all the way up to the 3rd floor , that is a super cool element, I am so lucky I have your house to inspire my whole build, please, if you happen to see my next video, let me know what you think! Cheers, Mike
You did a great job with that door! The door has retained its historic character, and that's okay, despite the imperfections. I like your ideas and plans for this winter. Good luck!
I love how the door came out. Paint or not on the inside of it won't matter. It will look great either way. I can't wait to see what you do with the storage area. I love that. God bless.
Great work! 2" foam insulation over uninsulated walls and cold doors works great to keep out the winter during construction. This is what we did in our 1912 house during the first winter before we gutted it completely in the spring. We now have R11 + R5.5 foam insulation in all the perimeter 2x4 wall cavities with another R8 coming soon. We also rigged up a tiny wood stove in the basement as back up emergency heat but we mostly use it now for leisure and entertainment. Stay warm and safe!
It is no easy task to reconstruct the house during its initial build and then also pay homage to the doctor who bought the home and remodeled during the 20s! If any two people can do it, it’s you and Kim! I so wish that when the house is complete, you could have given the doctor and Mr. Brown a tour! They would be very impressed with all the work you’ve done so far and very honored ❤❤. Lots of love! Always love to watch your channel!
I'm surprised, because of all of the IMPERFECTIONS, you didn't use a REALLY DARK STAIN on the Door, or Paint it!!!! And that Floor, that's gonna be INCREDIBLE when it's cleaned up!!!! Glad you're finished with another room!!!!
Slow and sure, always gets the job done. A piece here and there and eventually the puzzle is complete. I think it's really smart to have one quest suite self contained. I did when I had my B&B back in the 90s and it was full all the time! 19teens were very interesting years, and I'm eager to see how you style the suite.
man, I remember when Kim had that floor cleaned up so nice and clean lol remodeling sure does make a mess can't wait till your house is finally a home with little children running around lol hope you keep making videos then also
You give a great example of appreciating the "patina" and history of the materials in your house. Old homes are not for everyone. But they sure are beautiful and interesting. You door is fabulous! Great job. Keep it up! Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeves. Best wishes to you guys for a blssed holiday season in your beautiful home.
How about turning it into a spa facility? You have that weirdo shower thing too. Add a clawfoot tub, a sauna? Offer massages and facials and make it sorta old timey, they way they did it back then when spa's became so trendy.
The basement door looks great. All the flaws in it has a story to tell. On the other side you did a beautiful job on painting it. I watched the video of you doing it n I love the detail of your 2 tone paint color. (You have a good steady hand ) I love the idea of keeping the area where the Vet doctor had his clinic in that time era. That shower is going to be awesome. Looking forward to the videos of you working on the it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍🌟
Those wood patches are called Dutchmen’s used cut wood pieces and cut out the dry wot wood to in those areas glued them in place. Maybe with Hyde Glue! sanded them down to the be flush with the panel.
So here I am 😊, am one of them silent subscribers, Ive being watching you guys for quite some time , am originally from the UK , am myself and then my hubby renovated a 120 yr old large row house in Northamptonshire, but really was very easy to what you guys are doing ,it had being looked after, so it was mostly stripping of ceiling, carpets and tiles, woodwork and small building project, but my reason for commenting after all this Time is the door , the door that you apologized about, the door that could tell so many cool cool stories , it was beautiful totally the best door in the house, well In my opinion … lol just a little fun fact , we placed the last screw into the wire basket that was in the wardrobe, and as I gave my husband huge huge kiss and asked him what was we going to do with all the spare time know that we had completely that 2 yr project , he just winked at. me and said we would find something to do , well the very next afternoon I had to go to the store , the next morning I had the solution I had asked him about the day before , but first I made him a coffee and gave him it with really strange stir stick, he looked at me ,and took the stir stick out of his coffee , and next thing I knew was he took the lid of the stirring stick and he started to cry , yup I was pregnant, we had being trying for 5 yrs and had an appointment in that month to go see fertility specialist, I found out I was 4 months along , anyways thought I would share that little snip bit of information, my baby girl Lucie Jayne is know 31, and-hoping to be a mother herself , soon I hope :) God bless Guys and keep up up the great work on your fantastic home, that someday be will be filled with your children 🙃
Nice job on the door! The patches and imperfections just add character to it, the door tells a story, along with the rest of your house! Looking forward to your next video!
Really cool that the electricity is comming together now! And i would keep the wood on the door, it really shows caracter when the room is finished one day!
Great progress! Can’t wait to see the bathroom come together. Curious though… is there a reason you don’t have the shower entry face towards the bathroom entrance? (Basically rotate 90 degrees counter clockwise)
Nothing like light on the subject, or in your case, subjects! I know you're happy to be in the house, at last, though it's still obviously a work in progress. But you're persevering!!!
Have you thought about hiring an intern to help with smaller tasks around the restoration site? Barring the cost of insurance, you might be able to hire a college student who gets school credit for their work with you. I know some universities offer that type of arrangement. You don't pay the intern - they work reasonable part-time hours with you in exchange for credit hours at their school.
*And let there be light and there was light... wow that made the room so much more brighter... Awesome work done there Kaleb. Great that both you and Kim are now fully in your home now... Will make it a lot easier to get all things done too.*
Don't worry about the door. You did what needed to be done. I like your plan for this room the Tile floor is great. The cabinets take up a lot of space. Keep up the good work.
Kaleb, your work is incredible. You've come a long way since you started your channel. So glad I can be on your journey to get the Brown house up and running.
Happy for you that you've gotten some more light into the house and can really see what you are doing. That has got to help a lot in your work. I like the flaws in the door. You made it look fresh again but with its history still shining through.
Congrats on finally moving into the house and getting the door done, looks great ! I'm sure you're both going to be very busy with unpacking, and organizing. Is there other bathrooms with a shower in the house ? What do you two do now to make meals at the house now since there's no working kitchen ? Don't forget to get a Christmas tree up, got to have some Xmas spirit in the home😉 ,keep up the great work
I received your last postcard in the mail & I must say it's my favorite one. I may have to frame it, not just because I like the image, but because it also says "Don't give up."
You are doing a fantastic job on your home 💯. The door has so much character, I love it ❤. I love the wood look 👍. Thank you for sharing and God Bless. 😊
The door looks so much better... it's an old house... the door is fine. It needs it's character... I love it. I still like that floor in that room. As always I'm working this weekend... I work every weekend. I can't imagine the amount of work you have on your plate. But want to say it's all looking marvelous... Can't wait to see what you come up with in the basement. Stay safe... and I pray no more bits fall off the roof this winter. Hopefully we'll have a more mild winter this year.
Looking forward to see the clinic getting fixed up 😊 You should try and get ecoflow sponsor you with a Delta 2 power station if it’s possible. Then you won’t need any extension cords for the second and third floor until the electrics is done.
I appreciate this. I have struggled to properly voice my concerns about the fat acceptance groups. I have had to learn to love my body as is. Do things to make my body healthy and not shame it. Diet culture sucks that way. Your words really helped me have a voice in what I have been thinking. Thank you!
I had sudden visions of you putting all that new glass in the door then accidentally forgetting about those long threaded bolts that were there holding the panel on and them shattering the glass.
The work you did on the door really brought out the beauty of the wood! It’s hard to believe many of us watched you and Kim put up the Christmas tree last year and it’s that time again. 🎄 I hope you are getting enough rest with all the work you are doing and having a little fun on the weekend. Last weekend I visited the St. Louis waterfront with my family and we ended up walking up from the river to look at some beautiful old buildings, all of which seemed empty. The area was clean and neat and we really enjoyed ourselves. The riverfront garden was as interesting with all the dried flowers as it must be when they are in bloom. Have a good week, Kim and Kaleb!
Looks good Kaleb, bit by bit as the saying goes... I haven't had a chance to watch the Q&A video, so I'll hold back on the quizzes until I see it... Take care & stay warm!
Looking great! As far as I know, the gas/electric lights are no longer acceptable with building codes. Is that correct? I can't imagine that anyone could get an occupancy permit (or insurance) with operative gas lights in the house.
Well I know a few houses that still have them. Magic chef Mansion here in St. Louis is one. Not sure about insurance though. Im sure that is a tricky conversation and one i luckily will not have to have.
Well moving into the house should save some money. I think the door looks amazing! 👍 I like look of it. You lighting now is wonderful. It is nice that you can see well. This has got to be better for your eyes. It is enjoyable watching the work you do. And realistic about how long things take when you are doing them yourself. See you next week. 😃🙋🏼♀️Bye bye!
Very excited to see how you end up doing the old vet clinic area. I'm curious though...you're paying homage to Mr. Brown upstairs and the vet in the basement...but have you considered setting aside any small area to do up in "your own" style? So future owners or generations could look back at this time? Maybe the basement kitchen will fill this role. Just a thought.
Did I miss an episode on the plastering of the 2nd story rooms. I recall you were having great difficulty because it was either too cold or too hot for the plaster to set properly. I keep hoping to see that back room on the second floor beside the gutted bathroom again.
How thoughtful to make an apartment available for folks to stay in!❤
I like all the dents and imperfections on the door, they tell a story. I'm excited to see how that basement room comes out, I love that tile.
It sounds like you have a sensible plan for projects to do over the winter. We're rushing to strip, restore, and paint windowsills before we get any serious rain. A number of years ago 'distressed' wood was huge. I recall seeing very expensive 'hand-scraped Brazilian cherry wood' flooring advertised.

Love the door even with all its scars. That is the history shining through.
You can use the same methodology as I mentioned above if you have dry rot wood in your door jamb behind the hinges! you call it a door frame.
Shower- I stayed in a efficiency hotel in London where the shower opened directly into the room and it wasn't awkward at all. Makes maximum use of the space. Also, the chateau renovation channel 'How to Renovate a Chateau Without Killing your Spouse' had to put a bathtub right in the guest room.

So glad you lovebirds finally got to move in, so happy happy. Looking good all the work you continue to do so lovingly. Hi to Kim.

The time lapses and music are some of the best spots in these videos.
Looks like you're getting things much better winterized. Hope it's more comfy.
You are doing a great job on the house and the videos are a pleasure to watch. But your roof and foundation issues seem to never go away.

Try stapling a plastic barrier over plywood between doors to limit heat loss
Suggest including a diverter to a flush mount ceiling rain shower along with your vintage shower unit. It won't interfere with your aesthetic but it will allow the shower accommodate modern shower pressure.
And God said "Let there be light!" You wanna save your eyesight, Kaleb! I think that's a cool idea to have a 2-way dimmer so when you want the Victorian ambiance you can have it.

Oh this room is the dinning room at the back of the house. But i agree its pretty awesome looking. Hope your Well Mike!

Beautiful work.
I love the tile work in the vet clinic. I watched the cleaning and took notes.
The word grain on the doors through the house amazing.
Perhaps you can repurpose the Doctor's cabinet doors as doors for the bathroom and another location, remove and re-use the cabinet shelves (since they look built in) thereby adding another 12 or more inches in width to the hall way you'll make between the bathroom and the back door in the basement?
Great idea!
He does have a way with doors. 😁🎄
Indeed he does.

Next step getting those glass panels glazed in properly. That will really seal it up well.

I guess Mr Brown didn't want to live there anymore so it was up for sale and then a doctor bought it I guess a year later.

The door is so beautiful. If ever I own a house, I want historic Victorian/Edwardian style doors like that classing and warming up the place.
What fun to be able to rent the basement rooms w the needle shower..

All the little improvements go a long way! Great job team!
The door looks great. I actually love the patches and imperfections in the wood.
I love watching your progress. Everything you do is absolutely top notch! Thank you for sharing it all with us, Kaleb and Kim!! 🥰

Nice job on the door! The patches and imperfections just add character to it, the door tells a story, along with the rest of your house! Looking forward to your next video!
Regardless of what you do with the rest of the room, that door is BEAUTIFUL as is as far as I'm concerned! Absolutely gorgeous!
Really cool that the electricity is comming together now! And i would keep the wood on the door, it really shows caracter when the room is finished one day!
Hi Kaleb,
Loved seeing your updates. Your working so hard. Things just take time!
The door looks amazing! I'll be looking forward to seeing how the room and Bathroom come together. Congrats on your lights in your room.
You're making progress in the house restoration, keep up the good work.
One thing at a time, slow and steady wins the race.
Great progress! Can’t wait to see the bathroom come together. Curious though… is there a reason you don’t have the shower entry face towards the bathroom entrance? (Basically rotate 90 degrees counter clockwise)
Caleb, been here since day one, can't believe how far you' and Kim have come?? Keep Calm and renovate on!
Nothing like light on the subject, or in your case, subjects! I know you're happy to be in the house, at last, though it's still obviously a work in progress. But you're persevering!!!
Have you thought about hiring an intern to help with smaller tasks around the restoration site? Barring the cost of insurance, you might be able to hire a college student who gets school credit for their work with you. I know some universities offer that type of arrangement. You don't pay the intern - they work reasonable part-time hours with you in exchange for credit hours at their school.
Love the door -painted and unpainted sides!
The door looks good! I glad you kept the natural door not painted!
The one he did for the front door of beer dudes place was great
*And let there be light and there was light... wow that made the room so much more brighter... Awesome work done there Kaleb. Great that both you and Kim are now fully in your home now... Will make it a lot easier to get all things done too.*
Hi Caleb, did I miss a video showing how you cook? Do you have a makeshift kitchen?
Don't worry about the door. You did what needed to be done. I like your plan for this room the Tile floor is great. The cabinets take up a lot of space. Keep up the good work.
Kaleb, your work is incredible. You've come a long way since you started your channel. So glad I can be on your journey to get the Brown house up and running.
Happy for you that you've gotten some more light into the house and can really see what you are doing. That has got to help a lot in your work. I like the flaws in the door. You made it look fresh again but with its history still shining through.
You’re awesome in doing a great job on your home your visions will be a reality🙏🏽 God bless
Look forward to each video. Know you have a lot to do yet but you have come so far! The door is gorgeous!
I love the colour of the wood door! It’s beautiful!
Congrats on finally moving into the house and getting the door done, looks great ! I'm sure you're both going to be very busy with unpacking, and organizing.

Can’t wait to see the basement start to take shape, as well as the first floor be completely wired up.
Looking forward to see the clinic getting fixed up 😊
You should try and get ecoflow sponsor you with a Delta 2 power station if it’s possible. Then you won’t need any extension cords for the second and third floor until the electrics is done.
Oh, loved the door showing it’s history 💚
I love the look of original gasoliers.Love the one in your hall way.Everything is looking good guys.Keep up the good work.

I had sudden visions of you putting all that new glass in the door then accidentally forgetting about those long threaded bolts that were there holding the panel on and them shattering the glass.
At 14:31-32 that’s fin-agle-ing. Short i, long a, 4 syllables. . .that is if your down south. Lol Love your house.
Awesome door Kaleb 👍 🎄 thanks for the video
The work you did on the door really brought out the beauty of the wood! It’s hard to believe many of us watched you and Kim put up the Christmas tree last year and it’s that time again. 🎄 I hope you are getting enough rest with all the work you are doing and having a little fun on the weekend.

Love the door as is!
Looking great! As far as I know, the gas/electric lights are no longer acceptable with building codes. Is that correct? I can't imagine that anyone could get an occupancy permit (or insurance) with operative gas lights in the house.
Well I know a few houses that still have them. Magic chef Mansion here in St. Louis is one. Not sure about insurance though. Im sure that is a tricky conversation and one i luckily will not have to have.
Thank you for sharing. Love what your doing with the basement.
Love the intro with the lightning!
Well moving into the house should save some money.
I think the door looks amazing! 👍 I like look of it. You lighting now is wonderful. It is nice that you can see well.
This has got to be better for your eyes. It is enjoyable watching the work you do. And realistic about how long
things take when you are doing them yourself. See you next week. 😃🙋🏼♀️Bye bye!
Such a wonderful job
Making good process! I hope to visit someday!
Love watching your videos
You work miracles
Kaleb your doing a fantastic job well done.👍
Very excited to see how you end up doing the old vet clinic area. I'm curious though...you're paying homage to Mr. Brown upstairs and the vet in the basement...but have you considered setting aside any small area to do up in "your own" style? So future owners or generations could look back at this time? Maybe the basement kitchen will fill this role. Just a thought.
You should turn the vet clinic into a bar/lounge.
I can't wait for the next project: the basement 😍
Thanks!
Did I miss an episode on the plastering of the 2nd story rooms. I recall you were having great difficulty because it was either too cold or too hot for the plaster to set properly. I keep hoping to see that back room on the second floor beside the gutted bathroom again.
More exciting progress!
A great video
You do beautiful works.
Luv the tiles! Great idea!
