    Robert: your my Hero!! For a young man, you have an older wise man’s head on your shoulders, and I do so admire you for the way you throw yourself into rescuing,restoring and safe guarding your local history. I don’t think I’ve EVER seen you flummoxed at how to do any job, you always work through things with amazing results, and here you go again!
    Well done, your brilliant, and I’m sure your young son is like a sponge when he’s with you, watching and learning and storing the info away until there comes a time he can help you, or start his own project!! Well done! Looking forward to seeing the rising sun shining again! Love and hugs from the U.K.!!!! 🙋‍♀️😘😘💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦋🦋xxxxx

    • @chrissytaylor5690

      I was thinking the same thing! Especially the Front door threshold, trim, and transom window. Probably all carved locally or on site when the house was built. 🥰

  • @scott1395
    @scott1395 Год назад +28

    I tore down a house built in 1840 in union point ga! It had the most beautiful wood ive ever worked with! Old growth long leaf pine grew so straight and tall i hardly ever found any knots! Some of the tongue and groove flooring was 28 feet long! Robert you should see if you can salvage the wood from the house, 99% chance it will rot into the earth otherwise! Its some of the hardest work you will ever do!

    • @chrissytaylor5690
      @chrissytaylor5690 8 месяцев назад

      Yeah a lot of the Antebellum homes out here in Eastern Virginia were all built with "old growth" trees. And I've been told that the wood is much more solid and rot-resistant than the "tree farm pine" that's used today! 🤷‍♀️ Go figure that most of these antebellum homes can stand vacant for close to 80 years before the termites eat them up and they fall down. My friends plantation house that theyre restoring has solid oak beams as big around as a telephone pole running through the center of the house above the raised basement, and wide board floor planks made of American chestnut! These homes were built to last generations.... But it's too bad the last few generations seem to have little interest in preserving their family history. 🥺 Many rot into the ground without having ever had a for sale sign placed in front of them. It's a damn shame

    • @scott1395
      @scott1395 8 месяцев назад

      @chrissytaylor5690 that's so true and they wouldn't dare let you tear them down to salvage the wood, doors, mantles, etc! They would let them rot down first!

    In this age of tear down the old and build something new, I'm so happy you did this. I have seen so many older buildings in the town I live in get demolished to make way for some new gas station or Dollar General Store. The town is getting unrecognizable. Makes me sad. I wasn't born in this town but my late husband was as were both my children and my grandchildren. I have lived here for 50 years now. It's not as old as places in Ga. I live in Oklahoma, but its still our history. p.s. I still can't help thinking of the song "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals. And we know what kind of house that was!!!

Am I the only one who is curious about the property owner's reaction when Robert asked about purchased part of the front entry? The house obviously has been abandoned for decades, no one has done anything with it, and suddenly someone asks about it. Good Luck with your project, and thank you for saving this piece of history.

    This reminds me a lot of the "Plainview Plantation" out in king and queen county, Virginia. It was built in the early 1820s.... And subsequently abandoned in the early 1950s. Still had all of its original ornate wainscoting, trim, stair rail, banister, and toe board. And all were unpainted! The most theyd ever had put on them was linseed oil! The house was a really great example of federal era architecture, because it had never had any additions other than electrical. And one of the few houses in the Chesapeake area that actually was built with a basement, and still had the two basement doors at the entrance to the basement outside of the house. Also found all of the original shutters, (including Dormer window shutters) stashed in the attic space, so they were in really great shape. Unfortunately the house fell down just like this one did! The right half collapsed first, and the left half collapsed a few months later. Thankfully I was able to explore this house before any of that happened.... And I was able to see it in all its former glory. So wish I would have had the foresight (and permission) to salvage as much of that place as possible. 🥺 Because the number of these houses left intact and original is dwindling fast here in the south! 😞

    IMHO it would look great over a barn door....when you build a barn. I wish I were the one who gets to sand and paint it.
