Your final thoughts at the end hit the nail on the head. ~ The people who always say "you're crazy" or "you're wasting your time & money" - Those are usually the people who have tried something, failed & given up. I never tell someone they CAN'T do something. Courage, daring and fearlessness are the result of a clear vision and an understanding of reality. ~ There is no greater reward than being able to sit back after all of this is done, take it all in & go, "Look, I did that." -
Thank you! 🙏🏼👆🏼👊🏻🤣
I don't think you're crazy.
I think you are an absolute inspiration.
Came here to say exactly THAT!!
If I had the money, I too, would be doing this very thing, and doing it the same way - with integrity.
And that staircase rockwork is phenomenal!!!
What a joy just to look at!!
It always makes me happy to see there are still stone masters who can do this the RIGHT WAY!
My hat is off to everyone!
It makes for some pretty unique and fascinating content, just raising a new built wing of the house could never do... and it has to be JIMMY'S idea of where he wants to live in, nobody else's so if he wants to make it perfect for himself, who's got the right to say it's not right?
Well,maybe a little crazy..
But in a good way.
Jimmy is a rare breed. Very few people would take a project like this. 99% of people would tear down and build new.
"It's important in life not to let other people's fears become your own." I can't agree more, and couldn't have said it better myself, Jimmy.
Wow, Jimmy, what a transformation. I'll never fault someone for taking on a hard project like this. Good on ya!
Fantastic series! I loved hearing Ken's philosophy and Mike's commentary too!
Character like that cannot be made over night it takes 200 years! great work! excited for the series, thank you for sharing it!
I use to drive past that house growing up. Always sad when they cut down the old growth. Amazing project cant wait to see more!
Your words and clarity of mind are mesmerizing!!!
If only 2% of the population would take these perspectives to heart we would have a totally different reality.
Please never stop being who you are Jimmy. Keep going as long as you possibly can! We are so blessed to have access to your physical and mental wisdom. Forever Grateful -m31uk3
You always talk about what you said at the end of the video, about not letting other people’s fears become your own. I’ve done my best to keep that in mind whenever I want to do something a little unorthodox and I get pushback from people I know, whether it be family or others. I listen to well thought advice but I try to ignore the “what ifs” and “don’t be crazy” comments and do what I want if I feel strongly about it. 🙌🏻
Those 130+ year old beams alone are worth saving this house for. Good work.
Me and my wife love this series. 7 years ago we dove into re-posting some of our barn. Put some of it up on cribbing. Couldn’t believe what we were doing! So cool to watch your process! Everything is its own custom job. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for doing it! IMO the best part of the property is the old barn…
Places like this need people like you every 150/200 years to really fix things the right way and bring life back into them. And update them for modern times. If they are not enjoyable to live in then they get forgotten and end up going to waste.
I love Jimmy's projects. That house will be a gem once finished.
It's history - so much is lost to history - I'm glad you're saving something for history!
I’ve been watching you long enough to know that rescuing an old house is exactly what I’d expect to see you do. Looks good, brother.
Mr. Diresta, you can be very proud of what you are doing with the Graveyard house and the graveyard. You have integrity, the skill, determination and do great things. Before I became an old man, like you, I was not afraid to tackle any job or project.
Great series Jimmy. I love how you've seen a vision of what this can be and you're going for it, no matter now drastic the work. And thanks for giving us early viewing as well.
Every Jimmy needs a Mike. What a great video. Love the series.
Jimmy I love this series. You're right I couldn't afford to nor do I have the skills to take on a project like this. But I wish I were there. By you sharing the video I feel like I am there. Thanks for the added work to video this transformation. :o)
"It's really important in life to not let other people's fears become your own" ~ Jimmy Diresta (TS 27:01). WISE WORDS!!!!
Don't ever stop doing what you're doing! Firstly, because you love doing it and secondly, because WE love to learn from what you're doing! I sure love ya, Jimmy! God bless ya!!
People only have their own experiences when they are judging. They can only see a situation through the filters within themselves.. So with that said, if YOUR dreams seem right for you then thats all that matters. This is what excites, invigorates, energizes and motivates Jimmy Diresta. And we are all richer for his sharing of his passions.
That's what I appreciate about you Jimmy. You don't let other people dictate your life. Haters hate because they're jealous. Keep on rockin' bro!
I love what Ken said. “When you work with other people not everybody has integrity.” it’s sad but true.
It was being held together with hopes and dreams, and wire!
So Cool! Thanks for taking us along.
F those 'other people" and their negativity! This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this with us!
I'm pretty new to this channel, but I gotta say, I appreciate Ken. I am a special education teacher and I understand integrity. Come back Ken, we need you. You're Kenough.
Right on - saving history is rare and valuable for our future.
Jimmy,
The fact that you take the time to repair history, is worth it!
That's much better than our instant gratification, tear down build new society.
What would be cool, however, would be to make it a passive house. Heated floors, more Rockwood, hardy board siding, the works. But keep it old looking. Keep up the great work!
Thanx for the content you make ... Every time I learn something new. Your vision is so amazing. I am jealous of your ability to see past what "is" and what "will be". Best to you and your family.
Brilliant Jimmy, the world would be a better place with more people like you in it. Simply brilliant old chap. TonyDG London England
100 percent Jimmy! You are doing this for your own purposes and vision, not everyone else’s. It’s an exercise of bringing a home to its potential, while honoring its past.
I cant wait to see that bandsaw that Keith Rucker just built for Jimi see some action. There is something magical about resurrecting these old historic industrial machines, and putting them back into service..... I'm getting the pop corn ready...
That addition definitely needed to come apart.
Love your care about the world around.
The reason I have followed you for so many years is what you said right there in the end. That´s exactly what it´s all about.
I love your attitude, Jimmy! The older you get, the more you should learn, I think.
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for sharing these adventures with us.
Well you're clearly doing this the right way: Jack up the roof, and slide a new house under it! Fascinating stuff Jimmy!
Seeing you take on this project gives me confidence in small projects that once looked big in my eyes
"It's really important in life to not let other people's fears become your own." Great words to live by, thanks.
Jimmy, saving that old house ❤️ brings a tear to my eye. It is at the same level as your shop Kyle built.
You are doing a great job on that house. Showing the respect, it and its builders deserve.
"But theres still rot and bug damage "Jimmys baby voice
Awesome job Jimmy love the work you doing and it IS inspiring keep up the great work!
Looks amazing much work 🫶
Keep saving history Jimmy! Excellent work!
This video is like a cold beer after hard work, thanks Jimmy. Cheers!
That piece of maple might make a good historical piece to turn into a custom cue to go with that new billiard table of yours. Would love to see you take on that as a project. Cheers.
That was a huge work indeed, Jimmy! 😬
But really well done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
having and keeping the desire is important, keep nurturing it, when it's lost it's hard to revive.
Thank you for sharing.
Everyone has an opinion about everyone else. They need to stay in their own lane. Great job so far Jimmy. Thank you for sharing this adventure.
It feels like I’m watching an episode of This Old House 👍🏻, can’t wait to watch the next episode. Keep up the amazing work, your stone stacker guy is definitely an artist, it looks…WOW…
I love your attitude, Jimmy. We share our life philosophy. Thanks for the video.
8:00 I love the way you saw off the beams and then let Mr. Universe get some valuable exercise in. Win win.
I also spent years renovating an old house. Not as old as this one, but from 1800s. A lot of similarities here. Timber from another life etc :). I can relate to building a house with bottle jacks, temporary supports and chainsaws :D.
Doing what you want/enjoy is priceless. Have fun.
No defense needed. You do you and we watch! Respect the skills.
Great comment at the end about the project. I'm with you Jimmy. Thank you for taking this project on. Seeing how you work I imagine how great this house will be once you're done.
How truly magnificent! Such a fabulous philosophy married to a work ethic of doing it right. Pity you’re not running the world! Thanks for sharing!
i love your statement at the end. I do a lot of my own thing all the time and people question it constantly but they dont have respect for the old ways or history. I find so much gratification on recycling things into something else or letting something live on with my help. Great content Jimmy.... thanks for letting us tag along.
Jimmy, you are an inspiration for us all. Thank you for sharing this insightful video journey and your thoughts. Your preservation efforts are amazing. Wishing you and your team a great week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother
I'm very impressed Jimmy. What a great project and great job. Can't wait to see the next part.
I love the stonework ❤
Just wow! Can't wait to see the progression over time. Glad to see there's alot of thought and patience here with this great project so far. Bearded man has the 3 rules of life correct. Love when there's a good bit of integrity around. Keep up the great work with this house!
Great film. Super interesting. It's cool to see how our forefathers reused, repurposed materials. Kudos for returning the house to its original condition. It is about time to shift our disposal society. Mahalo for sharing! ❤️🙂🙏
Yes, you have the time and the money but most importantly you have the vision and desire to re-make this house into your dream. Looking forward to seeing your dream come true. Thank you for the video.
Glad I stayed for the closing comments. Well said.
Looking great!
I love how you are going about restoring this lovely property. I'm with you. The reason you can do something like this is because you CAN... I really enjoy watching your channel. You are extremely talented in the trades and it's a lot of fun to see how you create cool things.
Wow that was really rough. I'm glad you came along and are going to do it right as well as salvage as much material as possible. Thanks for sharing.
Unbelievable house and property. So lush and green!
Love it! This series is my goto zen moments for 2023.
I think you're a free man, that's the reason you don't realize things like others! And I like this way of living!😊
I wish I was in a position to live how you do. Keep doing your thing so we can live vicariously through you!
It's a labor of love! Yes and you saved it from a developer who would have put up either little houses on 1/4 acre lots or mini mansions. That area is beautiful and, so far, untouched. I love that the wood and beams and sills are giving up their secrets! You are contributing to it's history! I am so glad you are sharing this adventure with us!
They don't have the vision - of what this will be in the end! Really enjoying your work on this house!
I totally get why you're doing this, just as I'm sure you totally get why I've spent so much time saving the historic buildings I've been working on. It's nice to know when someone understands you and there's no pressure to "justify" your actions.
I don't have the money, I don't have the time. Love the work. Keep it up Jimmy.
Jimmy, I can't thank you enough for your videos. Great work as always sir. Cheers!
Your last words define how is the passion for what we do. You are one of the most important part of my decision for becoming what I am right now. You don't know me Jimmy but you are one of my mentor trough thoese last 9 hears. From "my left foot" video to now.
So happy you have the desire to save this structure. I can't wait to see the conclusion.
A couple of stone masons I know have a great rule for dry stone walling as we call it in the UK. If you pick a stone up, don’t put it down again until it’s in the wall. You can waste a lot of time picking up a stone and if it’s not right putting it back down! Use it! Also King Charles III likes to do a bit of dry walling to relax!
I loved it Jimmy!!! Killer ending as well!!! Look forward to the next one!!! Brian
Crazy!!!!! Can’t wait to see what you do with everything…
Your $ , your life . Look’ n great so far . Thanks for letting us watch ! Till the next video ,Cheers
So enjoyable watching you work. The house will be a treat for and family. I need to find the episode of This Old House you were on. Your DIRESTA logo is the greatest!
I think I would definitely hit my head going down those lovely stacked-stone stairs.
This is fascinating to watch. And your voice over explaining each step really helps understand what is going on. Thanks for another excellent video.
The music soundtrack is perfect. Thanks again!
Wow Jimmy, this is turning into quite the project. We drove by it when we were there for maker camp. It's a beautiful property.
Jimmy, the closing statements you made are spot on. I have said something very similar to a few folks along my journey. I really love the way you work those wood beams together. And the Titebond lll is awesome. Thank you. Jim in Oregon
I’m loving this video series Jimmy!
Jimmy, I love this content, preserving a 200 year old home is very very worth it, and if you have the time and money to sort this, go go go go and we will enjoy watching it all come together.
Thanks for the early access! And really nice progress! This house is in good hands 👌
Its like the old sailing boat riddle. If you have a boat and over time you replace every single piece of wood on it, is it the same boat or a new boat?
Fireman Mike is a beast!! Love hearing his NY accent too.
I'm really enjoying these restoration videos Jimmy and I'm looking forward to seeing your vision when it's completed.
Watching your channel for years from Manchester UK..👍🏼
Thank you Jimmy for the inspiring videos and sharing your knowledge and skills with all of us...
This is a great adventure. I worked on old houses for decades and this one has a little of everything you find in them. Lots of reverse engineering opportunities and problem solving on the spot and on the go.
Cheers 🇨🇦
