- Today I wanted to show you another exciting update at the house.. Jay has been busy leveling the floor and now we are ready for flooring in the kitchen/dining room! We also have some special guests, people who grew up in this house! We are hearing some history about my house.
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

I am beyond grateful that this family got the chance to re-visit their childhood home. Absolutely wonderful and now you have more history on your home. Bless your heart Jim for giving them this tour 🙏💞
Love listening to our older generation talk about their childhood. And to be able to hear about them living in your house would be so wonderful.
Hopefully, they will be able to come back when it's done and see it finished.
Love all of your design and storage ideas!
Dittos. Loved how the previous family got to see the renovations.
Your dad bragging on you is adorable. ❤😊
Abbey, your Dad was hilarious! Part charmer "you just get better with age", part brutal honesty "I don't like this bathroom at all". Plus your comments on the screen got me. 😂
My father built my childhood home over the course of five years on weekends, holidays and vacations. They lived there for more than 55 years. When the time came and their care needs rose, we moved them in to our home and cared for them a bit over 5 years until they passed. The family that purchased their home sent us pictures of their remodel along with finished photos. It made a beautiful home for them to raise their young daughter. It continues to be a favorite memory seeing the love they put in to building their home. I'm sure this family enjoys watching the same progress on your build. Wonderful job!
How cool is that to be able to talk to one of the families that lived in the house and their stories. Abby, love all your videos and watching you transform the house. Jay has been a blessing with his acknowledge and workmanship.
Jim is so honest about what he likes and doesn’t like! lol
I hope you all took a picture of the sisters and brothers in front of the house. I would hang it in the house for all the coming generations to see. Our History is important for all to see.😊 Jim did a great job, I like to hear him talk. Was he born from Amish parents?
That's a great idea!
Memories. I'm glad these people came, looked at your home, and that your dad recorded it. Now, in case your RUclips channel gets lost. Make sure you get a more secure copy of this. ❤
Wow,,,so awesome hearing the older folks talking about their home from way back when. So sweet!
With the floor getting leveled like this, insulate it under the new flooring, it definitely will be worth it
in the winter even though you have a basement.
Glad your trip was nice but sorry the flight wasn’t so good 🥺
God Bless ❤
Will you put insulation in the floor? I think it would help keep the floor from sounding hallow when you walk across it in addition to helping with heat in the winter.
You were blessed with jay
Are the joists UNDERNEATH the floor weak, causing the center to sag? wouldn’t it be better to take out the floor and level the joists, then replace the floor? I’d be afraid that the joists would continue to weaken and sag, causing you to have to fix it later…
My first thought too. I’m thinking same thing. I watch a lot of château renovations in France and see this problem all the time. Sagging beams and rotten or sagging joists.
Yes, I was thinking the same. What is the reason? I would think it would be less work in the long run try to take out floor the level then add new floor.
I would goto basement and put in supports to lift the beams or replace them
What a treasure to have this vodeo about the history of your house, Abby!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🙏🙏🙏🏠🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Your Dad is sure proud of you!♥️
Jay is a wizard!! So cool to see the former residents of the house.
Sounds like your dad is very proud of you and your hard work.😊
What a wonderful piece of time travel. Fascinating.
We had to do major floor leveling in our little fixer upper. The porch and kitchen floor we took out and replaced, now it is looking so nice ☕️🇨🇦☕️🇨🇦
Love to see the folk’s reminiscing over their home. My mon And dad bought a house in Virginia in 1965 which belonged to the grandparents and the kids had so many stories. I still remember 😊❤Family history is so wonderful to hear❤😊
Jim did a great job..
🤔 I would’ve started with removing the flooring then sistering the joists to level the floor. We had to do this method in a bathroom because we weren’t going to remove the wood flooring in the connecting rooms. But my dad said the proper way would’ve been to shore up the house and level from the joist in the crawl space and add foundation posts. I don’t know if post n beam houses can be leveled the same way.
16:02 I agree Jim. I would’ve slapped the floor on top of the existing floor and just leveled the kitchen cabinets. 😂 Actually that’s what I did in my 1926 cottage. But I also wanted to keep the wood flooring. So if I’m confused about this here since Abby wasn’t keeping the floor.
20:22 I thought so too. 😮
Sweet family that used to live here. I’m sure they’re happy they got to come visit and relive some fond memories.❤
Yup. Rip out the old floor, sister up to the existing beams and get them leveled, then lay new subfloor. Never seen it done this way. Talk about a condominium for mice! I HOPE NOT! lol.
Lovely home has nurtured many
Oh man! My family and I were stuck in Charlotte also, our connecting flight was supposed to leave at 7:55 pm ,but we ended up leaving at 11:30 pm but we are so grateful that we were able to get home.
Superior! Great hearing about the house and surrounding land.
WOW Abby...look how many views this video has. How great is this.
Hey Jim-love your horses!! ❤❤
I am so pleased to hear you took some cultural time out with family , a reward to yourself a litter holiday . I purchased some outdoor lawn type carpet for my laundry , It was really easy to lay , now it is much warmer .Abbey God is serving you well darling friend , people are coming by to comfort you and respect , because they what to know the princess lady , you are a true sign of strong and graceful womanhood . I have been included in the team of christians working in the world for Christ , we are reaching 67% of this world's people .
Enjoyed the stories. So close Abby!!
Wonderful! I could listen to stories like this all day! Good story tellers are few and far between.
Memories…such a sweet video!
Great to some History.
Glad you got out for some fun, Charleston is a beautiful historic city. Jay is pretty amazing! There's something good about having level floors 😁! There were a lot of considerations to incorporate in leveling the floor. Much math! You're so fortunate that your family runs the lumber mill. It's kinda like alchemy, turning lead into gold, they turn trees into lumber. Your home is going to be fabulous! Nice to see the past residents visit😊
Happy birthday Sue
How wonderful they came by to visit their childhood home. Sweet video. 😊❤😊🙏
How wonderful to have the house's family visit and share stories. When the lady said she prayed that her dad wouldn't catch any fish when he went fishing because it was her job to clean the fish , I laughed out loud. How funny. Thanks to the family for sharing and being so encouraging to Abby with their praise of all she has done to the house.
My dad is from Mooers and my Grandma worked at Chazy Ford!
What a joy that was to hear some history from others that lived in your house long ago. I bet they enjoyed seeing what you've done to it now and continue to do. Glad you are home safe and had fun on your trip. I'm wondering where in PA you were for the family reunion? I lived in PA for 41 years before moving to KY just over 1 1/2 years ago.
Hi Abby 👋🎉❤
It was awesome to hear the memories of the family that lived there prior to your purchase of the house.
I hope you had an opportunity to even speak with some more and get some more timeline information.
What a lovely family to come and share their childhood memories with you.
God bless them.
It is nice they got to see their childhood home.
I loved hearing them reminiscing about their childhood, it seemed to bring them alot of joy too!
Jim did a great job touring and interviewing, comments on the bathroom, especially funny, he's not European or hipster for sure!
What a lovely visit from these former children who lived in this house. Their stories are so precious to keep for the history of Abby's house. I am so happy Jim, you were able to film this visit. Thank you so much for sharing it. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Oh my goodness!! That is drastic floor-leveling!!! 😮
Oh, how fun to watch/listen to those who grew up in this house! (And, now you know your dad's opinion about your bathroom!! 😂)
Abby, I enjoyed this so much!! 💕
Oh you were close to me in Charlotte. Your house has come a long way. It's going to be so beautiful
The tongue and groove boards on my boathouse at Standish, Sebago Lake, Maine, were new in 1960 and now have shrunk to gaps of 3/4" between the boards. Something to consider. maybe.
Hello from rocky mid coast Maine, Brunswick. US.... Happy travels.........
Loved hearing the family’s happy memories, sounds like it was a wonderful environment for children to grow up in. Great job filming Jim, it was fabulous that you knew their parents and heard their dad’s stories as well.
Such beautiful memories and wonderful folks to come share. It just gives more depth to an already rich history that you are building in your beautiful home ❤❤❤! The floor is incredible! Every new surface is a victory for you and Jay for sure! 🎉 I just love all you've done 💯!!!!
What a nice group of people, and how interesting to hear their stories. What a treat for them, and for your youtube story!
yes,this was special,and your folks are so sweet to take time in kindness for others. love your family Abby
So nice that the former tenants love and appreciate everything that’s been done with the remodel.
They are really great people with wonderful stories what a blessing to have heard them and have it on video for prosperity. You and your story is another beautiful chapter that has started to be written. I pray your future is bright, kind, and loving just as you are! I am so excited to have been watching for so long I have learned a lot from you and Jay. May God continue to bless you and your family. Sending love from Michigan! Dad when she finds someone let them be as faithful, hardworking, smart, and caring as you're lovely Abby, Darling there is no rush! You do you live your dreams and adventures the right one will come along in good time.
This was a great video, and thanks for the memories from the older generations!!!!! Meanwhile, I'm finding the leveling of the floor simply fascinating.
Great job Jay! That was something else! What a treasure and neat thing to get to tour your old childhood home. "It's better than no bathroom at all" yes!!! Im sure when you get it done it will be more appealing. Right now it's a trust the process 😅
Great job on the floor leveling, Jay. That's a lot of work!! Takes a lot of patience!
That was absolutely refreshing to hear the stories from the previous owners.
Abby, you deserve a big thanks for bringing life back into this house.
As you said, you will bring fresh memories and adventures in your home 🏡
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful moments.😊
This was such a cool 😎 episode and such an incredible treat to be able to see and hear the history of your home. I can’t even imagine a drive being able to wrap around your house with as steep as it is on the bay window side. Great ideas about the dam and the swimming hole 🕳️!
That’s amazing how historical and cultural change 😊
This is amazing so my house is 1925 and I know a little bit of the history that there was a Czechoslovakian lady by the name of Miss Rollo that lived here and her family lived in Galveston Texas so when we bought this house and we actually kind of kept it original there’s not much I have the original flooring the original chimney of course sheet rock paint bathroom redo bathroom restroom added a new restroom but the parents the grandchildren and sister have come several times and we all talked about the stories of this house and it’s amazing that even the great great grandchildren are probably already in their 70s when Miss Rollo sold this house and moved to Galveston, she was already in her 90s 98 I think so. Her great great grandchildren visit twice. I actually still have some original furniture not too much into modern or new things. I do like the old things I like the furniture it’s cozy my house you know wood floors, 1925 and creeks. I’ve actually just had it leveled but it’s still creeks and it’s it’s OK I’m used to it, I’ve been more than 50 years. This was my mothers house and then I lived in grow up with her and then married went off and then I came back and 21 2000 and I’ve been here seven cents. We are actually going through a lot right now with it we’re leveling it doing a lot of work you know just tidying up and when you have an old house, you always have some work to do, good luck I loved everything you’re done Windows . I’m actually going through the same thing with the windows doing all the windows in the 1925 new and doing all the trim work wood and deep wood trim so the old house has some really good trim with where you can put glass I like color glass so then you Windows and I put it. I’m gonna make sure That the carpenter put that deep trim you know 5 inches or whatever it is Deep too. I can put some glass decorations on the windows. Let me please. When do you think or do you estimate you’ll get in there when you think you’ll get there before Christmas or maybe before Valentines. ??
I enjoy to see the family that lived there
This was a really cool video. All the memories of the family, and the floor is going to be beautiful. 💕🌹💕
I live in Myrtle Beach SC. About 2 hours away from Charleston. So beautiful there. Hopefully y'all enjoy the beauty of Charleston
Nice to see family history in the house, very cool to hear their story. Wow.. see how much work you & Jay have to do getting the kitchen floor level. Can't wait to see the transformation in that room. Abby been loving watching all the video's from the beginning, not close to being gone yet. Keep up the good work!!
So glad you are able to hear how things were back in the day.
How cool is that, they got to visit their childhood home and you got to hear their wonderful memories.
Talk about putting positive energy in your home, very good source. Too bad you weren't there to visit with them. Maybe when you're done and moved in, you could have a welcome gathering so they can see it all finished. Good to hear all the fun times they had!
I can’t wait to see how your new floor will look in your house and I know it’s going to be beautiful
this was fun and cool to hear the stories from previous owner!
I don’t think you’ll notice anything when your flooring gets installed! You’re moving right along. Good for you, it’s going to be beautiful
Nice trip down memory lane, thanks for sharing.😊

Hello all the way from Barbados. It would have been nice to show the areas the folks were speaking about, so that those who haven't watch all the episodes would see what they were referring to. I have enjoyed every one of them.
Fun stories. I bet the floors turn out beautiful and pretty level! Great job Jay! And l love both bathrooms! Shine on Abby!❤
Very cool the ones that used to live there!
Maybe the house should have been jacked up in the basement until the floors were levelled , then posted well , before any renovations were done . I'm sure things will look great when all has been levelled .Everything looking great .
Am glad the floor will be settled. Wow appliances and cabinets am glad they will be level.
Nice that you got close to us here in Georgia!
Oh Abby, this was so interesting! Thank you for sharing it!
So interesting listening to them. Love it
Yea I have been excited to see the flooring
I know that hindsight is 20-20, but the floor joists should have been fixed and leveled before any other work was done. But since you are at this point, this method is as good as any to level up the floor, as long as the joists are solid.
Are you going to insulate before putting down the flooring?
Are your front and back doors going to open with raising the floor?
Very nice. ❤
JAY JAY JAY JAY JAY......What A Wonder. Bless You IMMENSELY SIR. lov from South Alabama.
Hello Y’all
Could you have leveled the floor by bracing up in the basement? In Pa. that has been done.
I live in north west Pennsylvania. 😊
O😮h my word..."your dad said words" about that married man's kids....
Space under new flooring...insulation? critters?
