    Your final thoughts at the end hit the nail on the head. ~ The people who always say "you're crazy" or "you're wasting your time & money" - Those are usually the people who have tried something, failed & given up. I never tell someone they CAN'T do something. Courage, daring and fearlessness are the result of a clear vision and an understanding of reality. ~ There is no greater reward than being able to sit back after all of this is done, take it all in & go, "Look, I did that." -

      Came here to say exactly THAT!!
      If I had the money, I too, would be doing this very thing, and doing it the same way - with integrity.
      And that staircase rockwork is phenomenal!!!
      What a joy just to look at!!
      It always makes me happy to see there are still stone masters who can do this the RIGHT WAY!
      My hat is off to everyone!

      It makes for some pretty unique and fascinating content, just raising a new built wing of the house could never do... and it has to be JIMMY'S idea of where he wants to live in, nobody else's so if he wants to make it perfect for himself, who's got the right to say it's not right?

    You always talk about what you said at the end of the video, about not letting other people’s fears become your own. I’ve done my best to keep that in mind whenever I want to do something a little unorthodox and I get pushback from people I know, whether it be family or others. I listen to well thought advice but I try to ignore the “what ifs” and “don’t be crazy” comments and do what I want if I feel strongly about it. 🙌🏻

    Places like this need people like you every 150/200 years to really fix things the right way and bring life back into them. And update them for modern times. If they are not enjoyable to live in then they get forgotten and end up going to waste.

    Дело даже не в трате денег и затраченном времени, а в целесообразности данных действий. Поэтому здравомыслящие люди и "крутят у виска". Условно говоря вложил доллар, а получил цент - цель не оправдывает средства...Да и такой контент, как оказался, не очень то востребован аудиторией. Но как говорится - "Хозяин - барин".

    Excellent series, but around the 18:30 minute mark, I'll have to disagree. Conan taught us the 3 rules of life: Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women. In all seriousness though, I agree with the 3 rules of life given in this video more than Conan's.

    You got a barn across the road wouldn't storing that old lumber be better in there? I can't imagine it getting wet now after 150 years is doing it much good. I have an old slave quarters here I would love to save as its pretty rare that they even exist today. The work is at least on scale of what is required here. I would not mind doing it but don't have the time or money. :-( Maybe someday!

    The fact that you take the time to repair history, is worth it!
    That's much better than our instant gratification, tear down build new society.
    What would be cool, however, would be to make it a passive house. Heated floors, more Rockwood, hardy board siding, the works. But keep it old looking. Keep up the great work!

    You are right btw, do what you do . Do what you like. Do what keeps you busy. Doing nothing because it's maybe the most rational thing, renders you unlucky and will leave you depressed ! Creating is a primary need to keep one feeling good and useful ! Keep up the good work Jimmy.

    The binding molecules of wood is called cellulose which is basically the natural polymer of sugar. The bugs and sometimes fungal growths (when it's moist) break up the cellulose into sugar and feed off it, making the wood lose its strength and leaving this sort of dry sponge or even dust. Fascinating isn't it?
    -And if you look for a NileRed video where he makes moonshine from toilet paper, that's him using yeast (fungi) to break cellulose into sugar to blend with water and other type of yeast to then make alcohol.
    I'm loving this build and I'm hoping for lots of windows for the owner to sit by in the future. Great project, this will be a fantastic series.

    Love this! I'm sure you're way ahead on this project but I saw a great method on Laura Kampf's channel to raise supports for walls/roofs, which was to have two wedges facing each other and tapping them raises the support. Should be much easier than hammering the big blocks.
