    Thank you so much to Brad, our incredible mason, who has been working on the school for a full year now repairing bricks, opening up windows, closing up windows, and basically being the backbone of this whole project. If you're looking for a mason in central Indiana, I can't recommend him enough. (And feel free to send me an email at schoolhomestead @ gmail.com if you want his contact!)

    I live in a one room brick schoolhouse built in 1867. It was already a home when I bought it but needed lots of TLC and updating. It has been quite a project and I'm far from done. I can't imagine taking on a project the size of the one you're doing. Your videos are great Thanks.
    One thing about the bricks on my place is that through the years the students carved their initials into them, so all around the perimeter and up to about 3 feet from the stone foundation are memories of many of the kids that went to school here.

      @tedzerbe, I’m sure your project will be stunning as well. Also, can you imagine keeping the initials of former students on the structure? That would be pretty amazing for the family members of former students to find your home (the school where their ancestors once attended).

    A good mason is an artist. They are worth their weight in gold! The brickwork is lovely. Covering it in plaster is almost a sin. Brad has risen to "magician" status!
    I'm convinced the dust fairies come in at night and scatter it all over to make you and your broom feel necessary!
    Keep going! You're doing amazing things!

      @@SchoolhousehomesteadI’m enjoying your videos even tho I’m not good at diy myself. But I definitely enjoyed watching diy shows whether it’s big networks or you tubers doing it. I’m curious to know what heating system you’re going to have like a gas boiler, heat pump or air pump. As in my country Wales currently part of the UK. They & rest of uk are going to ban boilers for new builds but houses already existing can wait for there boiler to reach end of life basically before requiring a heat pump or air pump.

    👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 to Brad and his team for making this brick restoration a possibility. There are a lot of projects you can do on your own, like door stripping for instance, but others are impossible without the knowledge, tools, and experience. This home will be completely different then it could have been thanks to Brad et al, and his incredible work. Finding tradespeople like him is REALLY challenging these days, you are very fortunate to have found him and his skill set. Congrats to you on that monumental task!!

    Your description of the brick is, among other things, understated. The brick is splendid: skillfully laid, a myriad of colors, splendid textures. I don't remember if I mentioned this in a previous comment, but if you have large silver serving pieces or candelabra, make space in the basement for a room lined with "Pacific Cloth" to store your silver. It will protect it from contaminants and retard tarnish. Oh, and a couple of bowling lanes. Your young'uns would love it. Thanks for posting the video. It's a pleasure to follow your process.

    You could get a flat dry varnish for the bricks, it would bring out a richer color and seal the bricks at the same time, and be easier to clear the marker/crayons off the wall later when the kids get a chance to show off their artistic side.

    Masonry has always been art. Whether old mansions or early skyscrapers. It took skill. The creepy feeling you got. You shouldn't ignore. You might think about spiritual cleansing and or blessing. Partly because of the livestock place inside the building. That some barns build up active from having livestock. I know this sounds crazy. But it's not unheard of. Especially; since all the work you are doing. It's just a thought.
