Cleaning out the old canning shed.... part 1. Featuring my Great Uncle Ken. How cool was that wagon piece? If there ever was a place I needed a mask... it’s in here. Don’t worry I put one on for the return visit... that’ll be part 3. 😂 Filmed by Walter Mallard Help Save The Byrd House: www.paypal.me/rwrightphotography Mail: Sidestep Adventures PO Box 206 Waverly Hall, Georgia 31831
He reminds me of my uncle Bill sadly he passed away many years ago ! He was my camping and fishing buddy ! He talked a lot about when he was in the Army Air Corp during WWII ! Man , how I miss him and his stories !
Nice to meet you Great Uncle Ken , thanks for filming Walter . The more you work on the property, the more I love it . Thank you for sharing the Old Bird House
I sure like Great Uncle Ken ! He reminds me of my uncle Bill who was my camping and fishing buddy ! The stories he told about being int the Army Air Corp during WWII was always amazing to me ! Boy how I miss him as he passed away many years ago ! Thank you for the update on the Byrd project ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas other than the snow and wind . It's only suppose to be in the mid to low 30° for highs until the 14th !
Wow, that was so good! I don't know how many times we hit rewind. We love your Uncle! We enjoyed the way you got along with him. God bless you and yours!
Always some nice finds buried. I can not believe the amount of bottles you are finding on the homestead. The flowers are not daffodils! They are crocuses. Early bloomers, white, yellow,purple or blue. And everybody is rite,pls put on a mask. I lost my best buddy two years ago from inhaling pigeon crap, wasn't a pretty site. Great video,love watching the progress.
Enjoyed seeing great uncle ken. Robert take care. You are so respectful of others love that about you. Looking forward to seeing part 3 thanks. Plants might be Jonquils, just a guess
I have already told you about rat poop causing severe disease if breathed in. I wish you would listen to Grandma and wear a mask. I still love ya thought for will continue to watch every episode. Be careful.
I got my mug yesterday. It's great, the perfect size. I plan to get the updated version, when the farmhouse is completely preserved and the flowers are blooming around the porch.
That's sad about the comic books. I wonder which issues they were. Glad to see you and Uncle Ken wearing y'all's hard hats ha ha. That's crazy finding that wagon piece.
Those old newspapers are A gold mine of history. Looking at the Automobile adds and the prices of vehicles in the 1970s . And food adds with the prices back then are very interesting.
Daffodils! I love when they start blooming! I’m currently metal detecting our old farm land. I just have stories, old wells and daffodils to go on. Love finding evidence of old homesites. Love watching your videos!
@@stevenwiezbicki8894 I dig every ping but the neatest thing I have found in this spot is a top to an old kettle. I find a lot of iron fragments. Everything I find is a treasure to me. Haha
@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG that is exciting! I can’t wait to see what you find out there! I also do research on the families that lived out here. It’s so interesting to find things that belonged to them. I also have an old cave dwelling to explore. So exciting!
Robert, I had to cleanup my mother’s house that had mouse droppings mixed with funkie stuff not so different from what you are trying to do at the canning shed. Got the worse upper respiratory infection. Was sick for years off and on with breathing problems. Please listen to the other commenters who are concerned about your health. Please wear a respirator when cleaning.
here in new zealand you can always tell where there was an old home, when you see the daffodils pop through. the flower is our symbol for arthritis awareness.
You are a brave soul. First sight of the Rat, you would have caught up with me two counties over. Lol. Thanks for sharing your remodeling adventure with me. Good to see Uncle Ken. He seemed to enjoy the adventure too.
I'mma wowing that wagon tongue,cool. I love how Uncle Ken talks. The flowers coming up could be any of the group of Narcissus,but more likely they are jonquils ,because they grow in southern regions more often,daffodils are also narcissus it's their scientific name. Someone said crocus,they do come up sometimes in the spring snow up here in Ky...but they are low growing...these leaves are taller. Anyways, the bulbs stay in the ground many years if undisturbed, and will double every year,you can dig up clumps of them and transplant easily,a two inch bulb should be planted no more than 4 inches deep. That old brown porcelain doorknob was nice too. You know they used to use those for out buildings [dummy doorknobs] . They were first patented in 1841 and used in rural houses or on service area doors. Made from brown clay ,and of course baked. I've seen a many.
looks like daffodils...loving these videos...reminds me of the restoration on my old farm...love the pastures you are clearing...so great to see you preserving history this way...miss my farm so much...this brings back great memories for me...wishing you much-continued success...
The long pole you pulled out is called a tongue and horse evener. The tongue would have been attached to the wagon. The wagon would have been pulled by a team (2) horses. One horse would have been on each side of the tongue. One the front of the neck yoke is a hook ( The neck yoke is what is around the horse's neck.) That hook would clip to the evener. The evener is designed too keep the horses abreast, and to prevent one horse from getting on front of the other. I'm not sure the year of the tongue and evener but I would guess late 1800s to early 1900s.
Also used for pulling a sulky or gang plow. When I was growing up, The neighbor down the road used something similar to hitch his horse to a sorghum press.
Greetings, from Ohio. Enjoy the videos. Two things , on the wisteria, get a product like Accord. Mix with water, you'll need to cut the vines again. (Needs open cut) Spray the cut so it can draw the chemical in to kill the roots. Accord and other type vegetation killers, once the contact the soil, microbes in the soil will eat the chemical, and the soil is able to be planted right away. Some chemicals will render the soil unplantable for months or years. Second when doing a clean up project, back your truck to where your working, and load the truck. Drives me crazy to see you work hard, move a pile of rubbish, and toss it into another pile. Save time, pick it up once, and throw it away. I always enjoy your vids.
The flowers are probably daffodils or they could be what some call "Magic Lillies". They come up in spring,but just green leafs..in July or August, they send up a spike with pink flowers on it. They do look like Lillies. Enjoy both your channels. Keep up the good work.
If it makes you feel any better, we folks up north spent the early part of the week clearing up to a foot of snow, just in time to do it all again this coming week. At least our dirt roads aren't muddy, they're frozen. ;-)
Love reading the old newspapers I find, if they're in good enough shape. Lots of forgotten local history in them. I have 7 or 8 boxes of that I've kept from the 1920's thru the 1970's
That piece looks like it may have been used with a team of Oxen. Maybe horses. Very neat find. Love it when I can feel your excitement thru watching your videos.
Your making progress with that place , keep up the good work !! Make your blog longer as we really enjoy them. Uncle Ken is cool, enjoy the laugh !!! Take care!!!
Reminds me of a house my wifes neighbor lady inherrited from a couple of eccentric women she took care of before they died. She went to clean it out and started finding money tucked between the many layers of old newspapers that were used lo line the floor throughout the house. It took her years to go through all of it before she could throw any of it away. Finding treasure mixed in with the trash does slow you down.
You need a couple of old 45 gallon drums (metal of course) as fire pits and burn all that paper and old wood. You got a lot of work ahead of you. But it will be a nice place after your done!
That old wagon tongue is cool! Wonder if it might have been used for a tiller/furrower.🙂 I sure wish I was there to save some of those canning jars!😁 This is one time I'll concur with you and others here. Breathing in those rat droppings is Dangerous! At least wear a wet bandana. Great work and happy to meet Uncle Ken. 💜🤗
So you know you're watching to close to the screen when Robert throws the pile of newspapers into the bin and you reel back as if the debris and detritus is going to get you. Your Uncle Ken is timeless. A great addition to the show. Incidentally he wears his pants exactly like my Great Great Great grandfather B.S. Duncan wore his (based on the daguerreotype we have of him, from 1858) Some fashion must never go out of style. BTW, I wonder if the caning shed might be a bit older than the mainhouse, ? The detailing says older to me, check out the Hardman Estate up in Sautee Nacoochee ... lot's of good gingerbread details for reference. AND if you can get a peak into the Kollock estate Woodlands (1841) or Blythewood (1850 +/-) in nearby Clarkesville...a treasure trove of outbuildings, etc. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing the Byrd House Journey with all of us.
I was so excited to see those canning jars! Its really hard to find them in any stores. When I heard the breaking glass, my heart broke a little with them. They were so pretty too.
Those were interesting finds. Your Great Uncle Ken seems nice . I see you even found a new pet. Glad to hear you will be wearing a mask in future. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
This is the first show of yours that I have watched I really like seeing all the old stuff I especially like old bottles ,you should keep them some are quite valuable
Your spring flowers leaves look to be daffodils. They were always planted around older homes. Also all the wisteria you cut down careful walking around with your arms full. With spring coming and sap flowing she's going to grab your ankles and trip you. Mine does every year. Just love watching you pull out some old time treasures
Yup, starts a little project then gets pulled away to others. The porch areas front and back are still a mess with trash, debris and reconstruction tasks a part of the clean-up of that area. He needed a fire going for that shed clean-up; those old broken up boards, rotten furniture etc. Uncle Ken could have supervised the burning and enjoyed himself.
The "long Toung" is the pole from an horse towed hay mower with two horses it pulled the mower while the driver sat on a seat controlling the operation , putting it into drive ,lifting the cutter bar . the machine was driven by the wheels somewhat like a push lawnmower ...then we are talking --drying the cut grass, turning then forking into a stack ...or carted to a hay bailer machine hard work guys! we sure are lucky today!
That is a “wagon pole”, a tongue attached most commonly to a horse drawn wagon but can be used for other horse drawn farm equipment such as hay rakes, “sulky plows, cultivators, etc. The piece on the narrow end is referred to as the neck yolk and supported the tongue between the horses and allowed for a braking system for the towed item. That one appears to be factory made but farmers/ teamsters frequently crafted their own.
I would of had a great time cleaning out the old canning shed. There was some good finds especially that “singletary”I believe that’s what they call it. I had one that my cousin in Alabama gave me n he said it was a what I mentioned. I was so darn mad when the termites got mine. I did see some different jars in there n that one table you pulled out that is curved in the middle is a girls vanity dressing table. I had one when I was a teenager. Try to see if you can find the other part of wood that’s missing. It looked in OK shape. I just love going through stuff like that cuz I too “Love” old things. If they could talk what great stories they could tell. Until then for part 2 I’ll be waiting. ♥️♥️😊👍👍
Howdy! So great to see Uncle Ken again! He's just so cool! Oh my gosh, the tragedy of the ruined comics! And someone may have already suggested this, but have you considered selling some of the stuff you find on Ebay? I'm sure a lot of your followers would love a chance to bid on some of it. I know I sure would! Love to all!
I remember I was working on a farm and was asked to clean up junk in a field soon to be ploughed, I picked up a pipe and 100+ or more mice ran out of it up my leg and were on my shirt before I reacted, needless to say I screamed like a girl, did the first and best break dance moves of the 1970's with my work mates breathless with laughter. Aghhh I hate mice.
Hi Robert, they look like daffodils that are just yellow or they could be narcissus that are more than one color, either way they are very pretty flowers that come up every year in the spring or fall that you Americans say, good luck with the house.
I believe your flowers are crocus. They can bloom while still cold and there is snow on the ground. I have some in my yard. I love to see them when the yellow and purple flowers are blooming while everything else looks dried up, brown and dead.❤️
You should take some close-up photos of Great Uncle Ken around the farm. They would pair well hanging in the Byrd House later in black and white. Like Richard Bickel’s river life gallery in Apalachicola.
I had to pause and look up the Armstrong Table Stove. The one I saw was so small, basically the footprint of the waffle iron. Looks like they can be 100 years old, but it is an electric appliance. It seems like it would be quite handy in a tiny one person apartment or something similar. Funny to see it in a big house with lots of people (I'm guessing). Wonder if you'll find the rest of it? I think the waffle part sat on top and was an optional extra.
Cleaning out the old canning shed.... part 1. Featuring my Great Uncle Ken. How cool was that wagon piece? If there ever was a place I needed a mask... it’s in here. Don’t worry I put one on for the return visit... that’ll be part 3. 😂

The flowers are beautiful daffodils and are one of the first flowers of spring. They are always a sign of hope to me every spring!
Nice to see all those articals you found in the shed .your uncle will likely get that can opener working again .love your videos .

you need a rake !!! love your treasure hunts - looking forward to exploring the inside of the house with you - so many treasures, big & small !!
He also could use a scoop shovel
Nice to meet uncle Ken he is very cute and lovable, please invite him more often.

Good morning can 't believe I slept in. Cool old school desk you pull out.
I lived in a house that has a drop down ironing board. I used to use it all the time. It's still there. Its our rental house now.
Your Uncle Ken is a gem!
❤️❤️❤️

Good afternoon robert and everyone.20s here bitter cold. Stay safe. You all.
Those are daffodils. They have some pretty yellow flower when they bloom..
Uncle Ken has his own language!! That YOU understood! So sweet....I love his laugh!
If it makes you feel any better, we folks up north spent the early part of the week clearing up to a foot of snow, just in time to do it all again this coming week. At least our dirt roads aren't muddy, they're frozen. ;-)
Same here in Kansas !
Same in Colorado with 40mph winds.
60 plus degrees in Fresno, Ca.
Snowing now in Michigan
Cindy here, it hurts my heart to hear those jars break. I could use every last one of those.
Love reading the old newspapers I find, if they're in good enough shape. Lots of forgotten local history in them. I have 7 or 8 boxes of that I've kept from the 1920's thru the 1970's

Crocus are usually the first flower to bloom. They’re usually purple and sometimes white , they are short flowers Love your videos. ❤️❤️
My crocuses are yellow.
Love some of what you pulled out of there so much history and the old harness gear a bonus
Crocus is usually the first to come up. They only get about four inches tall and have a yellow or white cup flower like a tulip.
You need a couple of old 45 gallon drums (metal of course) as fire pits and burn all that paper and old wood.
You got a lot of work ahead of you. But it will be a nice place after your done!
They are daffodils and they will come back yearly
Curious? Everyone says daffodils but how can you tell it's not narcisis?
and they spread freely
@@adrianguynn5807 The way I understand it, narcissus is the genus name, and daffodil is a common name everyone uses for them, same flower though.
That's what I thought too.
I thought jonquils. Wait and see what the flower is.
That old wagon tongue is cool! Wonder if it might have been used for a tiller/furrower.🙂
I sure wish I was there to save some of those canning jars!😁 This is one time I'll concur with you and others here. Breathing in those rat droppings is Dangerous! At least wear a wet bandana.
Great work and happy to meet Uncle Ken.
💜🤗
So you know you're watching to close to the screen when Robert throws the pile of newspapers into the bin and you reel back as if the debris and detritus is going to get you.
Your Uncle Ken is timeless. A great addition to the show.
Incidentally he wears his pants exactly like my Great Great Great grandfather B.S. Duncan wore his (based on the daguerreotype we have of him, from 1858) Some fashion must never go out of style.
BTW, I wonder if the caning shed might be a bit older than the mainhouse, ?
The detailing says older to me, check out the Hardman Estate up in Sautee Nacoochee ... lot's of good gingerbread details for reference. AND if you can get a peak into the Kollock estate Woodlands (1841) or Blythewood (1850 +/-) in nearby Clarkesville...a treasure trove of outbuildings, etc.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing the Byrd House Journey with all of us.
Love Guncle Ken. When it's said a person's life is written on their face, he's had a fun one!
those bricks with the blue numbers, look like fire bricks for a stove
Interesting!
Yeah I think those are asbestos fire brick.
@@Losermachine35 they are
That large industrial lamp is worth something. My sister had one of those Brownie cameras in the early sixties.
Robert, as always I could have watched all day. It's a big disappointment when the videos end. Be blessed and waiting anxiously for more.
I agree. He always leaves us wanting more
So true, our thoughts exactly!
I was so excited to see those canning jars! Its really hard to find them in any stores. When I heard the breaking glass, my heart broke a little with them. They were so pretty too.
2 horses were attached to the yoke in front single pole at the back was attach to the wagon or whatever
That crib frame makes great garden trellis.
Those were interesting finds. Your Great Uncle Ken seems nice . I see you even found a new pet. Glad to hear you will be wearing a mask in future. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
You really should have a mask on rat facies can cause upper respiratory issues. Prayers you stay well❤️💯🙏🏻✨
Please tell us when you had your tetanus shot. I hope you're up to date and your guests helping you.
Not just a mask, rat feces causes Hanta virus
Why did I just waste 30 minutes watching two guys drag nothing of any value out of a dilapidated uninteresting shed,god I’m a loser
They called it the hantavirus & it killed many people, especially on the Indian reservations. Very dangerous!
This is the first show of yours that I have watched I really like seeing all the old stuff I especially like old bottles ,you should keep them some are quite valuable
Thank you so much, and yes I love the old bottles
Your spring flowers leaves look to be daffodils. They were always planted around older homes. Also all the wisteria you cut down careful walking around with your arms full. With spring coming and sap flowing she's going to grab your ankles and trip you. Mine does every year. Just love watching you pull out some old time treasures
Do you ever feel like you’re just moving the mess around? I like seeing Before and Afters once in a while.
Yup, starts a little project then gets pulled away to others. The porch areas front and back are still a mess with trash, debris and reconstruction tasks a part of the clean-up of that area. He needed a fire going for that shed clean-up; those old broken up boards, rotten furniture etc. Uncle Ken could have supervised the burning and enjoyed himself.
Ken is cool! Hope to see him back again!!
That should be your mantra for this adventure. "WD and a prayer"
The "long Toung" is the pole from an horse towed hay mower with two horses it pulled the mower while the driver sat on a seat controlling the operation , putting it into drive ,lifting the cutter bar . the machine was driven by the wheels somewhat like a push lawnmower ...then we are talking --drying the cut grass, turning then forking into a stack ...or carted to a hay bailer machine hard work guys! we sure are lucky today!
They are daffodils. Wow how beautiful 140 yrs old
Us old contry folk called them March flowers back in the old day's they came up in March. Now they come up in February here in western NC foothills.
That is a “wagon pole”, a tongue attached most commonly to a horse drawn wagon but can be used for other horse drawn farm equipment such as hay rakes, “sulky plows, cultivators, etc. The piece on the narrow end is referred to as the neck yolk and supported the tongue between the horses and allowed for a braking system for the towed item. That one appears to be factory made but farmers/ teamsters frequently crafted their own.
I sat in old school desk like the one you pulled out and some even older than that
Hi Great Uncle Ken. Cody? Hi. The flowers will tell what the bulbs are...daffodils? Narcissus?...onions?
You should check and see if there’s any film in that camera
The little plants are crocus. They bloom beautifully and come back every year or sometimes, with rain. They grow well without being tended in gardens
You need a MASK and a rake to pull all the "floor"stuff out.
I would of had a great time cleaning out the old canning shed. There was some good finds especially that “singletary”I believe that’s what they call it. I had one that my cousin in Alabama gave me n he said it was a what I mentioned. I was so darn mad when the termites got mine. I did see some different jars in there n that one table you pulled out that is curved in the middle is a girls vanity dressing table. I had one when I was a teenager. Try to see if you can find the other part of wood that’s missing. It looked in OK shape. I just love going through stuff like that cuz I too
“Love” old things. If they could talk what great stories they could tell. Until then for part 2 I’ll be waiting. ♥️♥️😊👍👍
Oh how I love your Great Uncle Ken. Please invite him back.
Hi Robert from Columbus Ohio. The flowers are tulips. You probably already know that by now. I've been binge watching your channels. 🙏❤️💪🇺🇸
I love seeing what was valuable and important to people as they store and save stuff!
In the end their stuff outlasted them!!!
Those are daffodils. The come in a nice variety up colors. Up here in the North when those leaves pop-up that's a sign of spring for us.
Howdy!
So great to see Uncle Ken again! He's just so cool!
Oh my gosh, the tragedy of the ruined comics!
And someone may have already suggested this, but have you considered selling some of the stuff you find on Ebay? I'm sure a lot of your followers would love a chance to bid on some of it. I know I sure would!
Love to all!
I love watching all your videos. Just wish they was longer.😊
Woah, take it easy with that stuff...you have some valuable antiques that you could sell.
Hopefully everything you are finding in the old bird-farmhouse your saving it for a Wonderful Awesome Museum! 💕
Depending on the size of plant,they can be daffodils,jonquils,or paper whites
That wooden beam may be for a cane syrup press Robert. You hook the mule or horse to it. Then they go round and round. Great find!
I love going through old buildings like this. Is that a silver belly open road fedora by Stetson you have on ? Thanks for the excitement
Yup, that’s exactly it
Oh you must repair, clean and put the old ironing board back in the house! Great find!!!
I remember I was working on a farm and was asked to clean up junk in a field soon to be ploughed, I picked up a pipe and 100+ or more mice ran out of it up my leg and were on my shirt before I reacted, needless to say I screamed like a girl, did the first and best break dance moves of the 1970's with my work mates breathless with laughter. Aghhh I hate mice.
Thank you ❤️👍🏼🌵🇺🇸
Metal detect for old coffee cans
Used to bury money back then
Hi Robert, they look like daffodils that are just yellow or they could be narcissus that are more than one color, either way they are very pretty flowers that come up every year in the spring or fall that you Americans say, good luck with the house.
I believe your flowers are crocus. They can bloom while still cold and there is snow on the ground. I have some in my yard. I love to see them when the yellow and purple flowers are blooming while everything else looks dried up, brown and dead.❤️
You should take some close-up photos of Great Uncle Ken around the farm. They would pair well hanging in the Byrd House later in black and white. Like Richard Bickel’s river life gallery in Apalachicola.
I had to pause and look up the Armstrong Table Stove. The one I saw was so small, basically the footprint of the waffle iron. Looks like they can be 100 years old, but it is an electric appliance. It seems like it would be quite handy in a tiny one person apartment or something similar. Funny to see it in a big house with lots of people (I'm guessing). Wonder if you'll find the rest of it? I think the waffle part sat on top and was an optional extra.
