    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. 🙂

    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!

    • @1834RestorationHouse

    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.

    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.

    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. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟

    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🤗

    • @1834RestorationHouse
      @1834RestorationHouse Před 4 dny

      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.

  • @ManWhoLovesTheMary
    @ManWhoLovesTheMary Před 8 dny

    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.

    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.

    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. 🥵 😊😵‍💫

    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! 🆒

    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.

    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❤
