      My Dad passed two weeks ago, and at his funeral last week we invited those who wanted to contribute a short note or story of something they learned from him. It was prompted by your video earlier this year on tips from your Dad. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this idea - it was wonderful!

      My father passed in 2012. He was a carpenter for 30+ years. There are many things that I do, especially carpentry related, that I think about him every time, as well. It's a combination of mixed emotions....sadness and pride. I miss him dearly. God bless you, Jimmy. I can feel the sadness in your voice every time you speak about your father! ❤🤗

    Jimmy - I can't thank you enough for putting your craft here for all to watch. It makes me smile. The best part to me is when you do stuff in an unconventional method. You work hard and surround yourself with hard workers. No task is too big, or too small.

    I know the stone work is spectacular, but a big shoutout to Ryan with the digital renderings. Most people have no idea how much time and effort goes into making a detailed model like this, and how much time and money it can save on a project when you can virtually see all the pitfalls and potential of every design change in a matter of minutes. A skilled architect like Ryan SAVES you money, time and heartache in the end.

    I love the look of what the house looks like currently! Adding a wrap around porch looses that feel and it’s not appropriate for the age of the building structure. I like watching all your steps. My 1830s house took a long time. And we lived in it at the same time!

    There are lots of channels on youtube that do old house “restorations” but not many take the time to build with regards to it matching the old historic parts of the house. This is reminiscent of “this old house” back in the day.

    It's all looking so good Jimmy! For the weird dead-end hallway, I think I would take advantage of the window there for the natural lighting and kind of make it a reading nook. A built-in book shelf and a comfy chair would be all that it needs.

    The stacked stone foundation is so beautiful. Nothing wrong with poured concrete if need be, but this is so much more elegant. Those gigantic sill plates must be incredibly strong. This is no longer a dilapidated old wreck, this house will be around for a long long time.
    I like the idea of putting a huge fireplace in its own wing of the house.
