    I love this. Glad to see the gloves again today...and I think a good old hard hat might be in order. That old roof is out to get you!

    Wish I lived near you guys; I’d be there with my son helping you guys out. I’m glad that you’re putting up the effort necessary to save a historical home. I’m sure it will be a true local treasure when you’re finished.

    Wowzers! You have done an amazing job. A true labor of love to uncover the beauty of this property.
    I live in Mcduffie county, Georgia and I see the wisteria, though beautiful, overtake and devastate old farm sites and choke the trees surrounding them.
    I'm really glad I found your channel. I've tired to catch up on videos and I'm still trying to figure out the relationships and how everyone ties in. 😄
    What a treasure to unfold and I'm glad we get to follow with you.
    Great job! Please post more often.

    I loved this video. I am very interested in your project. How wonderful it will be to restore such an old historical house to its former glory. It may not be a mansion or George Washington slept there. But all old homes deserve to be restored and kept as a reminder of the roots and sweat this country was built on. Keep going Robert and thank you for sharing your journey with us.

There are a lot of good comments here, too. God bless you and your staff, and merry Christmas! Please continue with the Byrd house! We like these a lot.

    Hard hat and safety glasses would be a good idea during demo work. A large rubber mallet is very effective for beating things apart. You're doing a good job. Work from the edges, piece by piece and form piles. Watch out for the nails, they can bite you too. Fun project.

    Luved seeing open flame gas heater my parents & grd parents grew up w/ those heaters! Maybe have to get gas people out to make sure gas is turned off. Don't want mother nature undoing all your work or old fasterns to gas valve wear out then the gas leaks out then everthing is gone. When lived upin PNW one of our neighbors was master welder they help lay all gas pipes on west coast told us then in 1990's welds are good for 30/40 yrs beyond that you are gambleing w/ time. Now in 2000 we moved back south but metro areas on west coast blew up think the gas companies would check & make sure fasters were changed out. Our gas company does but too many houses have blown up! plz have them check the gas fasters. Thx for wearing your gloves!
