    2nd item is a water pitcher and 3rd is a brides or cake basket. Both are possibly made by Meridan Britannia who was a very popular silver plate company. I have the same cake basket! Be sure to check the markings underneath.

    Forgive me if I repeat what someone else already wrote. The metal piece is a watch fob. To counterbalance a pocket watch in the vest. You’ll have to get a dandy wind up watch for your fob and fancy suit.
    The old 1910 farm house we lived in most likely had lead paint. Didn’t know about lead precautions then. Sanded so much wood siding. Glad you’re taking care of your health
    Bless you both. So much fun to watch the program.

    The stains and wood dings and worn fabric is a part of an antique items story. They all have stories and history so if you can’t get the stains out of the marble, it’s ok, it’s a part of the story and charm that each item has. 😊

    Fun fact about fainting couches. Well, might be fact might be fiction. I was watching a home tour given by a state ranger of an old plantation home in the south (it's an addiction I'm seeking help) and she was showing a fainting couch. To paraphrase her: people called them fainting couches because supposedly the women wore corsets tied so tight they fainted. First mistake, most women of the time didn't wear corsets because their clothes were home made and made to fit them, second mistake they didn't tie them any tighter than need be. Then what if they did need to faint, were they going to walk across the room to do so? Nope, the "fainting couch" has actually been around longer than that and it was for napping. Evidently (according to her) after the bed was made you weren't supposed to get in it again until bed time, thus if you wanted to take a nap, you needed somewhere to do it. Hence, the napping couch which was used by men and women. I haven't done any research to discover if this is true or not but she seemed pretty sure about it. She even called out her fellow guides for calling it a fainting couch.

      There’s a misunderstanding about corsets. Some women did wear them so tightly, they did themselves physical harm but that’s because some people always overdo things. You weren’t supposed to wear them like that and most women had a more sensible approach. Saying that all nineteenth century women were damaging themselves with corsets and that’s why corsets were bad is like saying all women of the 1990s were damaging their ankles by wearing stilettos with every outfit or tanning themselves until they got skin cancer. It did happen but it wasn’t the norm.

    I forgot to paragraph the following:
    I am looking forward to you instaling lath and plaster to the ceiling(s), that is one tough and taxing job. I suggest you put in staging and plaster from it, it is just too easy to - just one more reach- while standing on a ladder or using plasterer's stilts. You will probably need someone else to mix and send up the plaster to where you are working on the ceiling. The biggest hastle with lath is the spacing, then alternately angle the nails if you use them to attach the lath.
    You may have to think or believe that you are Michelangelo painting the Sistene Chapel. He did not paint it with a paint-roller.

    There is a special tool that can remove lead paint safely. It's on Amazon i think for people who want to order it. Lead paint won't vaporise at lower temps and this "heat gun" is designed for that or if you get a heat gun that has multiple heat settings, I have one. It's completely safe albeit slightly on the pricey side 😊

    We had a iron antique parlor stove that was converted into gas. It had bricks inside that had been chipped into round chunks and those glowed thru the isinglass and looked like coals. They also contributed to the heat. I wish I still had that stove it heated the entire house better than anything I have had since. Besides it was beautiful.

    I have that book by Clarence Day Jr, but I haven't gotten to that story yet! I just picked it up at a used book store! I love the movie Life with Father, that's why I picked up the book. I had no idea it had such a connection to this channel I watch every week!

    11:00 Replacement cord, the original power cord on your GE Refrigerator was a non-polarized plug. For safety sake upgrade to at least a polarized plug confirming that ungrounded (nutrian Wht) and grounded conductors (hot Blk) are wired correctly to the polarized plug. Better yet utilize a 14Awg three wire cord with a ground pin (green wire) connected to the refrigerator metal frame. Use an ohmmeter to double check wiring. Be sure all your house outlets are wired correctly to prevent shock hazards (use an outlet tester) on all your house's outlets.

    You need a 1880's to 1900 pocket watch to get in the spirit of the house. I actually use vintage pocket watches a lot day to day. It is easier to keep a pocket watch in your pocket watch pocket in your jeans sometimes then it is to wear a wrist watch. When doing house repairs or visiting the local junk yard for car parts and need to keep track of the time, it is much easier to take a pocket watch over carrying the cell phone (it gets left in the car or in a safe place at home) or wearing a wrist watch (which could cause your arm to get stuck)

    Very cool stuff! You can go to a homewrecker store and get an appropriate mantel. Sorry- but that was the name of and architectural salvage place in my town! Love watching your progress! Thanks!
