S3.10 The Alcove Roof Is Finally Replaced
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2024
- Who knew one tiny room could cause so many problems. The roof is finally getting replaced on te parlor alcove and hopefully we can get on with the window installation. This has been going on for too long.
This once abandoned Victorian mansion is undergoing a massive restoration. Designed by noted architect Nicholas Clayton, this Galveston historical treasure is slowly back to life. Restoration of this historic house is not easy, and the extensive yard and gardens add to the complexity and expense. Preservation of the original features is high on the priority list. Follow the journey from start to finish. It’s a tough, hot, sweaty, and very expensive road but worth every minute of it.
The League-Kempner House is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to saving this magnificent house.
The house needs your help to survive. You can donate on our website: www.leaguekemp...

" DON"T TOUCH IT " Your sister truly loves you! Visiting the League-Kempner House is on my bucket list!
She is a fuddy duddy. In my own defense., I am very afraid of electricity: I never would have touched it. I had the same reaction she did when the electrician reached out to touch it. He just laughed at me and did it anyway.
I want to thank Pedro for appearing in the video as you were explaining the process. 50 years from now his Great Grand Kids will thank you for making him a You Tube Star. Another good video.
He did such a fantastic job.
What a glorious day to see the alcove finally being put back together and done by someone who really cares and cares to do the job right. It's sad to see restorers face workers who don't seem to care and do the job half-heartedly. Hope Hollywood chooses one of your properties in some capacity...maybe in the future. Says something for them to consider your historic structures. Exciting.
It can be hit or miss getting good people, but I have been lucky (except for that previous roof thing). I am really excited for the alcove windows to go in.
Happy Mothers Day Janie! That’s going to look so pretty with the copper, can’t wait to see it. You and your sister just crack me up🤣
I hope all mother's had as nice a day as I did. The copper is on and it looks great all shiny and new. My sister's a hoot! And a very good sport.
@@leaguekempnerhouse I bet she is, she really seems like it♥️
Very productive couple of days. 🙌 We are celebrating in California with my mother. Also attending my sons college graduation. Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day. 💐 ❤️🤍💙
It sounds like you are having a wonderful Mother's Day too. Congrats to the grad.
I'm so glad you got footage of me chewing.
That's what sisters are for.
That will be wonderful when the roof is done. I hope you got the fleas under control. Thanks for sharing all your adventures with us.
So many great things are on the verge of happening. It's always the little things that cause the hold up. Thanks for following along on this journey.
"You say ruined, I say accessorized !" Your Sister made me laugh with that one!
Always look on the bright side! With that flourescent pint you can't help but look!
How exciting for you and hopefully a little help with the budget. You never know what will come from the visit. There must be an animal in the basement because fleas need warmth and blood to survive. At least that’s what I’ve been told lol. Good luck with everything and love the videos. 😊
We have too much construction going on to fit in their timeline but you never know what they will be working on next. It was fun just to visit with the scout and show off the house. There is definitely something living or at least visiting the basement (and it has very large poop). It will be good to get everything sealed up tight and keep the critters out. This is our second flea outbreak and they aren't fun.
Very interesting roofing material! So glad the parlor alcove is finally water tight.
Your nerds will await the explanation of the compression in the sprayer.
Yes, I for one was very disappointed for not getting a science lesson 😄
Okay, just remember, you asked for it.
That sounds almost like a challange. I'll have to add a little segment to the next video.
No Touchy ! LOL
It's good to have a safety monitor on site.
Happy Mother's Day and good luck from Portland, Oregon!
Thank you so much. We still need to try and hook up. It has been busy but hopefull things are settling down. Are you working on any cool new projects?
@@leaguekempnerhouse I don't know if all/any of them would qualify as "cool," but if so, yes! Thanks for the reply and hope to talk soon!
The neon paint! We share the same dumb luck... 😂
Fortunately I had on work clothes. It was a pretty shade of pink.😀
Geez I’m so nervous about both of you on the roof. And now I’m nervous about flea bites! Be careful! 😊
I don't go out there unless I'm tied down. Pedro had no fear, I think I had enough for him.
@@leaguekempnerhouseyup! The whole time he was on the roof I was yelling - put on your harness! It was scary enough watching you hanging over the edge painting, but when he went out w no harness on the slippery looking surface, well I don’t think I breathed until it was all done and no fatality!
Happy Mother’s Day Janie!! 🌹🌹🌹
I can’t wait to visit this beautiful home!
We can't wait to show it off to you.
Happy Mothers Day Janie!
Thank you. I had a wonderful time. I hope every mother was a lucky.
I’m glad you’re getting that roof fixed. That’s one more thing you can check off your list
It was nice to get this done and know that it was done properly. It was really holding things up. Now we just need to get the rest of the big roof replaced. Hopefully early next year.
Fingers crossed for the heavy rains ☔️
Six inches and still fallinf.
Tie a string to your paint brush when you're doing that kind of thing. Tie the other end to your harness or something. I haven't found using my wrist to be a good choice.
Such a simple and elegant solution. Fortunately, this time I didn't drop it. Miracles do still happen.
Me watching your roofer with no harness😮
I"m sure my blood pressure was through the roof. It was hard watching him in person.
I've used the same type of sprayer inside and outside. They're great! We call it a pump up sprayer. Janie, you're a marvel. It's fun to watch you. 😊
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Those sprayers are a handy thing to have.
I’m not that found of heights so I’m glad you got out on the roof to paint!! I would’ve stayed at the window and videoed someone else painting!
There's still a lot of work to do out there. It may have to wait for cooler weather. It's already getting very hot up there.
Happy Mama Day Janie!
Thank you. I had the perfect day. I wish all mother's had such a wonderful day.
He's brave not wearing a safety harness! Result looks great!
I don't think brave is the word I would use.
I think he's nuts! But he did a great job.
@@leaguekempnerhouse I was able to use the same/similar roofing material on my porte cochere and wrap-around porches. Never a leak even in the worst weather, including baseball sized hail. There's also a shingle underlayment from that company which gives deflection for shingles during bad weather.
Fleas are horrible! Glad you are tackling it, but I wouldn’t have done it myself. 😂
We've been pet lovers all our lives so I've battled fleas before. Thank goodness for the flea medicine you can give your pets now so we don't have to treat at home anymore.
I also have a Masters in home building Nice Lady. Good to hear the technical terminology. o7
We pride ourselves on being the nerdy, technical channel. 😆 With your background, if you ever see us going down the wrong path, please speak up!
I learned somewhere that fleas are attracted to white color of socks, etc. But damn I hate fleas! How exciting to possibly be chosen for 1923 or Yellowstone original. Fingers crossed! 🤞
I know for sure they were attracted to me. I was hoping the white socks would make it easier to see the little guys and pick them off.
maybe some traps in the basement, to deal with whatever is invading. I like that you know the fleas need a host to survive. Most people don't understand that.
I've battled fleas and termites for so long I think I should get an honorary pest control certificate. I will have to put out some traps if this keeps up. Until all the windows get replaced I think it will keep happening. Animals can squeeze through some tight places.
Oh I meant to message you yesterday! My daughter and I were doing the homes tour and had to run by our favorite house on the way out and noticed one of the upstairs windows was open. It was raining so we were worried!
I left that window open by mistake and didn't think about it until I was back in Houston. I'm just kicking myself. I hope the wind was in my favor.
I am so glad Pedro is so skilled and didn't need to be tied off so he wouldn't fall off the roof (made the bottom of my feet sweat). Are your volunteers working this weekend? Weather permitting,?
We also had fleas, and went through 8 bottles of cutters yard spray a couple of years ago. And, we had opossum and squirrels getting into the attic and I had to clean that out. Really enjoyed your video again. I hope I can come contribute this Saturday if you're going to hold the cleaning event !
We will be there if the weather holds! Sorry about your flea problem. It's no fun.
@@leaguekempnerhouseI really want to be there. So I plan on 😂.
By the way I love and enjoy your content!!
Thank you very much. I know we can be a little random at times but that's how life works.😄 You never know what this old house is going to throw at you.
Great video.
Thanks. I'm so happy to have this little roof done.
Mothers day in the UK is around Easter, but I hope you had a great day.
I guess we can look forward to some big changes now you have the alcove roofing sorted.
Great update 2x👍
I have to say tar smells great (like coal tar soap) But its so flammable.
We had a wonderful day. We are celebrating my daughter's graduation from Physical Therapy school, my grand daughter's birthday and Mother's Day all at once. Lots of family and fun.
@@leaguekempnerhouse A real celebration then. 👍
Get diomatious Earth !
I've used that in the past. This may be a good application for it. Hopefully when we get the house completely sealed up the problem will go away.
What was your favorite property on this year's tour?
Of course the McKinney-McDonald house was amazing. They all have special features I love so it's hard to pick a favorite, but I fell in love with the corner stor conversion.
@@leaguekempnerhouse the beautiful bathrooms in the corner store are amazing!!
