    I’m with Jim! I find it very depressing going to shops like that that don’t protect certain things. There are lots of items that can be outside and get that weathered patina so many like, but most of it just seems wasteful. :( i get distracted at stores like that...

    Jim I wholeheartedly agree with you about beautiful things left out in the weather to be ruined from it's beauty and left to rot and not be able to use it .. This video broke my heart seeing all the waste of the beautiful stuff that was being ruined. Your new family member is a beauty.

    I agree with Jim. It's one thing to be weathered it's another thing to be rotted away. I think some of that stuff should have been inside instead of left to rot away outside. That's just me though 😀

    In my first grown up job, the director taught me that locks are to keep honest people honest. Truth. Also, shopping without a measuring tape and dimensions? You are living on the edge. Also, I just had a flash back to my early years with that mop bucket.

      Sure, I'll list a few. DIY Danie is a favorite of mine. Also Veritasium, LoneFox, DIY Huntress, Mia Maples... So I guess I'm revealing that NONE of these are old home renovation channels - haha! I do occasionally watch old home reno videos but sometimes it feels like bringing work home so, I use RUclips to chill. What do you watch?

    True Jim. I suppose some items could be protected. I guess they would have still ended up in a land fill otherwise if not there. However, I’ve been thinking about those kitchen cabinets you have in those containers 🧐… I would be a little nervous keeping them in an uncontrolled climate. It could ruined them. Just a thought. , love the progress! Looking forward to the solar episode.

    I liked those table legs too... and I liked that door with the curved glass window tops... but cutting glass for that I'm sure isn't easy... but it was a cute door. As for Jim and his distaste of having things sitting out in the rain and weather I kinda agree with him. Shame to see it all rotting away.
    P.S. Love the kitten! Reminds me of my Murrpau. What did you name her?

      We're not sure. We checked around with the neighbors and no one reported a missing kitten. She walked into the Grand Lady back yard and jumped straight into my arms. She was skin and bones, dehydrated and very tired so, I think we were her last hope. We just had to call her Grandy.

    Ooh! completely off topic, but I keep forgetting. Something I’ve done for my house, and one other that was fun. Go to the county court house and research the “Geneology” of The G. Lady. It will tell you who, when, and $. Just start with yourself and go backwards!

    • @Mr_Jim_Syracuse
      @Mr_Jim_Syracuse 2 года назад +1

      Yes, that's a great tip. We have in fact done this via the instrument of the "Title Extract" which is necessary for Title Insurance. Usually, the title company keeps this. However, since it is paid for by the purchaser it is rightfully the property of the home buyer. We didn't follow the custom of letting the title company keep it. Records here only go back to the mid 1930's however, due to a fire at the recorder's office which destroyed earlier records. We are exploring other resources too.
