    #historicpreservation #abandonedplaces #restoration
    This is another restoration video of our historic house. We saw this historic house for sale that had wonderful stone masonry and was mostly a brick house. The Romanesque architecture was amazing for this cheap house. With the slate roof and the masonry repair we had to do it was a great renovating house. We have to cope with termites damage and termite repair. The stained glass and fireplace mantels were amazing. If you are looking for abandoned historic homes or abandoned places look no further. We don't have any scary stories but a virtual house tour of the Mooreland House aka Mooreland Mansion aka Harrodsburg Castle aka Ashfeld Manor is a great place to follow.
    Our DIY historic preservation videos are not necessarily how to videos. We get a lot of inspiration from some of our favorite channels like Wild Wonderful Off Grid, Pure Living for Life, Onboard Lifestyles, Mike Haduck Masonry and many more. We love our little castle on the hill.

    You two deserve a lot more views than you get so far. Half the battle of running a RUclips channel is learning to game the algorithm so that it finds viewers for you. Can;t be hard compared to the rest of the stuff you figure out.

    I love your channel because you're doing a true restoration vs a strip down to the studs and making it an open concept remodel but calling it a restoration that seems to be the norm now on You Tube.
    OMG how true about box gutters! Been working on my son's 123 year old house and it needs new box gutters and NO ONE wants to touch them! Also has a stack stone foundation and are having the same problem with that. They're willing to pull it out and put in a pour foundation, but don't want to touch the stack stones.

    Firstly let me say thank you. I love, love, love your videos. There is always some yahoo with an unsolicited criticism to share. You are very gracious in your responses. 40 years ago we had a Queen Anne victorian that we loved. She was not nearly as grand or tattered as Miss Mooreland, but she was our pride and joy. We used to say we worked all day to pay for her and all nights and weekends to tend her needs. Job relocation forced us to let her go and now I get my rehabilitation fixes through good folks like yourselves. I went tp paint a small closet one day.and it turned into a 6 week project so I thought the boiler removal was an amazingly quick project. Again thanks for letting us roll with you, You are appreciated.!

    Very informative. I was waiting to hear one thing though. What will you do with the mansion? It doesn't sound like you would actually live there yourselves. Would you rent it out as a bnb or something like that? Do you still own the other houses you have worked on? Man, it would be fun to furnish that place. I struggle with collecting too much myself. I don't want to become a hoarder so I am getting better at parting with things when I acquire something new (to me).

    As a fellow box gutter sufferer, I feel your pain. My 1890's house needs box gutters replaced, one side of the house was redone in 2008 not that you can tell from looking at it now. The other side is probably original but it's also the side the squirrels like for their recent incursions into the attic. I can block off entry from the inside up to a point, but replacing the gutters again is the only real solution. I live up the road from you in Paris, my next door neighbour did find someone to replace part of his box gutters and the cost for the section they did was mind blowing.

      @@moorelandhouse I had our roof replaced in 2020, turned out the original wood shake roof was still there and had been covered over with three layers of 20th Century shingles. The old shingles were well past there prime and leaking from storm damage in a number of places. As is typical of a 19th Century house, there was no decking for the roof. If we had more money, there was an opportunity to replace the box gutters with something modern but the cost of that was way out of our budget beyond the roof. Our house is nowhere near as ornate as yours, so modern gutters would not have noticeably altered the look of the house compared to Miss Moreland.
      The problem now is to find someone who can do quality work on box gutters. My neighbour only had the worst part rebuilt because he couldn't afford to have them all redone and who knows if the people who did it are still in business? As you have experienced yourself, contractors generally don't call people back even if they were the right people for the job.

I get you wanna do it yourself I get you enjoy doing it, but it would be cool for you to take in or take on some interns. Of course, interns do not get paid. But I’m sure a lot of people would like to learn from what youre doing and I’m sure you have a lot of laborious work that an intern could do. Just something to think about.
