SPECIAL What is the Victorian Mystery Structure
High gloss show up every bump and dip....Satin always looks beautiful.
I thought the work you did in the basement was going to help get AC and Heat up stairs. Did I misunderstand? I can Empathize with you at about 12 midnight on the 21st of July we were awaken by a loud noises. Sounded like the washer was off centered. Like when all towels go to one side on spin cycle. Only thing no wash was being done. So my grabbed a flash light and followed the sound. It lead to the blower motor. Seems the weld on one of the spokes of the Squirrel cage broke. Trying to find a replacement for a over 40yr old system is not easy. We have been told just get a new one.😂😂😂 Thankfully we have a couple of window air units we are making do with. I think I may have said in past we live in Phoenix,AZ 🤷🏼♀️What ya gonna do. Life goes on. Have a great week guys. Oh I forgot to say we just had it charged on the 15th of July. I did blow nice and cold for the week.💁🏼♀️👍🏻
We had to reroute the existing ductwork to gain access to the Eastern side of the crawlspace. It's back in there where we have to run utilities to the attic. Congrats on keeping your system running for 40 years! I would pull the blower out and have it rewelded. 🙂
Nothing much to restore
Too noisy
It's very noisy.
Your trees are beautiful! Are they crape myrtles? We have those here in Oklahoma but they are usually big shrubs here, not trees. It is about the same temperature here 🥵 At least the heat gives you time to work on your amplifiers though. They look great!
Those trees grow huge here in the deep south and they bloom like crazy. They seem to need high heat for them to bloom.
The stereo cabinets are going to be really nice.
Ooo, we haven't had any index over 104°! Our crape myrtle is also in bloom, but it is lavender. Your color is what they call "watermelon." It is the color I personally like, but you get what was already planted. 😊
So true! There are some examples of a bright red trees around the area. Those ones really pop.
Well deserved sponsor. I hope you guys get many more. And such precise craftsmanship and such beautiful wood being crafted. I can imagine it smells incredible. This is one of the reasons I’m surprised you said you’re not good at math. It’s still hard to believe. Conspiracy theory. You’re secretly working for the Pentagon, NASA, Apple and Mattel and don’t want anyone to be suspicious. Well. Get ready for TikTok to blow up, buddy! Also love seeing the trees blossom. True gems on the property.
Lol! If only....
Soon you will get to enjoy your beautiful house! You are going to feel better that it will be cool in side.
Amazing skill involved in all your projects!
Thank you! Sometimes we learn as we go.
For small projects you can dry green wood in a microwave oven if you do it on lower heat and dry it in stages while checking progress with a moisture meter. The oven will set wood on fire if it is left in too long.
We don't even own a microwave, lol!
The crepe Myrtles are blooming wonderfully this year.
The trees are putting on a spectacular show in your yard this year. What a shame that it's too hot to be outside to enjoy. Appreciate getting the chance to see the blooms. Palmetto beetles are basically cockroaches on steroids. We get them here in SW Ontario also. And, well... just plain old YUCK! 😬 Cheers M&J! Marian 🇨🇦
The grounds, trees and planets look spectacular. You've both done such a fabulous job on everything. I'm so extremely happy for you both being able to get all things worked out with this property and didn't have to sell. I absolutely love people of your caliber in today's world. You're greatly needed and truly appreciated, even from afar. Thank you for all you share.
Thank you Ranae! We really appreciate hearing that.
The trees were beautiful and so was Jennie. Summer does have it's good points. Blooms and sundresses. I love the heat but most of my family does not. I might feel differently if i experienced humidity. Stay cool.🌞😎❤️🤍💙
It's too bad that good heat has to be spoiled by high humidity. :-)
Our humidity was in the 70s today. Tidewater Virginia
Thank you for all the router instruction. Like a lot of things, it looks easy but there are definitely techniques and cautions!
Mike, you have so much knowledge when it comes to your tools. I’ve learned quite a bit from your information. I must say Jeannie sure looked cute in her pretty white dress. She looked like a true southern bell with her dress n hair in a ponytail. Yes, it certainly is hot. It seems it’s like that everywhere. I’m usually outside doing something, stripping furniture or doing a craft but not lately here in Florida Aug n Sept are our hottest months. The humidity is unbearable. Can’t wait till October. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful knowledge. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟
Thank you Shelly! I enjoy sharing and teaching and I hope it inspires someone to take up woodworking. Stay cool! 💖💖
Jeannie, your hair looks adorable! 😊
The dress, too!
Thank you!
Our heat index here in Central Texas matched yours today. Definitely a good day to stay inside. Summer needs to go away.
We agree!!
Mike, you're skills seem to have no end, and that is one of the reasons I watch your videos. Your choice of music is a bonus, especially when machinery is involved. Love seeing the beauty of your yard in all its glory, as well. 💖💖
I have to agree with this sincere comment. ♥️😊👍
Thank you Leanne! We should have some more projects coming once the heat lets up.
We have 101 F in Northern Idaho today. Stay cool.🌞🌻😎🕶💦🌱🌺🌼🍉🍓🍇🫐
The PNW seems to be getting hotter in recent years.
Good luck on your homework!
It's done! I got B grades this time.
@@1834RestorationHouse so happy for you! It had to be tuff. I don’t think I would want to do it at my age so, congrats to you!
Glad to see you back!
Thank you Carolyn!
Kinda of thought I was the only one that has a table saw and compound miter saw in the house. I don't feel so alone now. :-)
Yes! Another woodworker!! :-) Sometimes you just have to practice your craft wherever you can. Then dream of the day when you can have a dedicated workshop...
Hey Mike and Jennie,would you try a sub pump for what’s under the house ?just wondering keep up your great work
Kurt, a sump pump would keep that thing emptied out, but I want to give it a good look over to see if there's some way to stop the water from coming in.
Great work in such an uncomfortable area.
Thank you Caroline! We're looking forward to not visiting that area. :-)
I enjoy your channel so much!! Yep me and hubby have done alot of remodeling together and still together after 42 years! I am very interested in your new business. Please keep us informed of your progress! Thank you!
Congratulations on 42 years! That's over twice as long as we've been together.
Here in Maine, heat pumps are popular for heating and cooling ..is that something that might be a bit easier for you? Enjoy seeing you restoring your beautiful house🤗
It's about the same amount of work, except a furnace requires gas. For some reason a heat pump system (condenser, air handler, and ductwork) costs more than an AC capable furnace (condenser, air handler with burners, ductwork) even though they have less equipment in them.
Great to see you guys again. Excited for the duct work to get closer to being done. Looks super professional and even mesmerizing in a way. So shiny (like my personality). Reminds me, I need to change the filter on my car...that is long overdue. Probably helps, too, that you cleared up the debris in the kind-of basement as well. It makes SUCH a HUGE difference. And that's an amazing and important point about how couples worked together in the old days. Because it's sad to see the stereotype of men being domineering and commanding the wife. Obviously it was a real thing and definitely more prevalent(?), but, like today, there are good relationships and bad relationships and there were plenty of good, sound ones. I mean, I've seen advertisements from the 1950s aimed at working couples! Yes. That was a thing even then. Hope this doesn't sound too soap boxy or whatever the opposite of woke is. It just pains me that so many people have a one-sided view of history. Let's call out the bad, but let's celebrate and even learn from the good of the past. Learning from history is a two-way street.
You said it very eloquently!
Glad you were able to get your AC working. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
Thank you! 🤗
Given its location and the era that the house was built I wouldn't be surprised if that's not a leftover structure from a summer kitchen. It wouldn't be big. Just big enough to have a little pantry and a stove. With a roof over it.
You are correct! In a later episode we did a bunch of research and found out exactly what it was for.
Im so so happy to see you back. I was worried about Ginny s health.😂❤ praise god you two are well, and continuing
Thank you so much! We're doing well and hiding from the heat.
So happy to hear from you 🤗! Take care of yourselves & we’ll watch as you post 🥰 🙏.
Thank you Meg!
So glad to see you are back!!!
Thank you Catherine!
@@1834RestorationHouse ❤❤❤❤
Ahh, yes! The unglamorous parts of working on a house. Glad to see you again!
Lol! so true!
Welcome back! I thought you were trying hard to finish the a/c and just unable to do any filming. Didn't think that you would have gone back to achool with two classes. I thought about how hot it would be under the house and wondered if you were doing a little each morning. Our heat indexes over the past month have been over 100° with horrible humidity and I wondered how bad it was in SC. Have you thought to put a fan (or 2) in the attic while you work? Sometimes just moving the air helps a lot especially over or behind a bowl of ice. 🥵 😊😵💫
Hi Vickie! It was miserable under the house, stifling air, heat, moisture and dirt! We came out of there looking like we'd been rolling around in it. Well...we kind of were rolling in it.
So glad to see you again 🎉
Thanks for stopping by!
So glad to see you back. I was worried about you guys suffering in the heat with no ac. So glad you are as far along as you are!
It was rough for a few weeks, but we pushed hard and got the system back on before the heat wave. I don't know how the Southerners managed before electricity.
Glad to see you back!
Thank you!
So glad you two are back!!! I kept checking to see if a video was out and nothing. Glad the HVAC is coming together. You two are a great team. Nothing like accomplishing a task together especially when it’s a huge task. Look forward to seeing you next week!!!
Hi Toni, we appreciate you checking in. Now that we are topside, we can start filming again.
Good to see you back and doing well - though incredibly busy! Everything is looking good! So important to keep cool & hydrated. Good luck with your coursework!
Thank you Kathleen! College is about to break (thank goodness!).
You are BOTH brave to get under your house. All I can think about is snakes, spiders and humidity. It’s been 100 deg. for the whole month of July in my NW town and I do not have AC. Ceiling fans, floor fans and spending all my time in the lowest level is depressing. I’ll take our subzero winters any time. Like you, it has been impossible to do yard work in the hot sun. Your stereo business sounds very interesting and I can tell you are excited about it. Stay cool! 🆒
Summer will break in a few weeks and we can all get back outdoors. Vintage audio is the best, and my new project captures the vintage-ness very well. :-)
Hi! What if future owners of the house want to make the fireplace usuable, make a fire in it, not knowing those gas lines are right next to it? The house would explode. right?
Our chimneys are thick and massive so no worries there. :-)
If you wish to kill tree stumps, some natural things you can use to help get rid of the stumps are holes drilled into the top of the stump, then pack the holes with either salt or Epson's salt. Both will cause the stump to dehydrate and decompose. many copper nails are said to kill tree stumps too but that is expensive with the cost of copper now a days. One other way I have heard of is by packing the holes drilled into the top of the stump with baking soda and then pouring vinegar over it.
Cheryl, thank you for the tip! I'll try to get out there this week and try it.
🙋♀️❤️
Hello! 💖
you both rock
Thank you Robin!
#298👍🏼 Nice to see you both again! Hugs, prayers, and love❤ Watching...
Thank you Heidi! Did you get to see any steam this summer? 💖
Glad to hear your 1st phase of the HVAC project is completed. Not filming is not a big deal, but a little note on the Community Tab to let us know you both are fine would have been nice. I’m a huge music fan so I’m patiently waiting for more information on the stereo project. Are you going to do that in your ‘spare’ time? How much spare time did you have after working full time, taking college courses, working on the HVAC,& house projects, woodworking, and the stereo project?! It might be time for a mini vacation or something similar; just some time to rest and relax! Hugs, Doc❤
Lol! A vacation would be wonderful! Somehow we manage to squeeze it all in.
Wow, I designed and had my plenum built for out house and I, thought that was so complicated, my husband, is a wounderful mathematician but it took us both to do measurements and install our furnace, we where in our 20s. You too work so well together. ❤ we missed you both.
These ducts certainly are challenging. I scrapped a couple of them because they were way off, but we finally got it right. Kudos to you two for attempting such a project!
