Well, we are certainly giving the phrase "raising the roof" a VERY literal meaning with this one! We've known from day one that the most massive undertaking in this project was going to be removing the fire debris, and the most massive part of that debris is BY FAR getting the old, burned roof off.
After a few almost BLINDINGLY high quotes we rounded up our team from Arkansas and Natchez and put them to work. We were AMAZED watching the fork operator and his giant sized game of "Operation". Luckily, his hand was steady and all the bits came down as planned. However, no project like this is ever without its hiccups, and with this one, we had a pretty good one. Who needs two chimneys anyway??? (We do, FYI)
Along with that madness we organized and hosted an exhibit at Historic Auburn of Mourning Jewelry, Pilgrimage Tours, and a shutter survey. Then there were all those changes that were happening at that little cottage project we have going...
How many plates can we keep in the air at once? Well, we can at least keep three historic home restorations going at the same time. SEND HELP!

“We’re not dead yet!” 😂😂 Omg Laine, don’t ever change ❤
Yes, the roof coming off LOOKED traumatic. Glad it went smoothly. Can't wait to see the cottage.
This is my first time posting but I’ve watched for ages. Here’s why I watch, the history , the homes , hard work and silliness but mostly for the respect I feel watching you save a part of history. Trying to bring back a burned down peace of history ? OF COURSE! Good on you ✨
Good Morning My Pretties!!! Thank you for the giggles and fun during your restoration !!
Oh my gosh, Kevin! That music was perfect for the roof removal !
I have such respect for the two of you and what you are doing .
Thank you.
I am crying for how much work that evolves and how scary it looks.
I have to say you two have a wonderful attitude. I would be huddled in a corner having a breakdown. ❤❤
As ar as the grounds go you could reach out to the local garden clubs. I'm sure they would be thrilled to offer direction and maybe free labor. My garden club volunteered in many of those activities.
I was thinking the same. I would not plan any new plantings. I would clear up the obvious volunteers, mulch up and compost all that can be and begin working on soil and plans. Next year, plant trees….I could come and do this!!
@@aok2727 Wouldn't that be too much fun
@@aok2727Volunteer trees, not garden club volunteers! 😆
Great idea! People who know plants and gardens joyfully contributing their time, knowledge, and enthusiasm. 😊❤
I love, love, love how y'all can see the BIG picture and are restoring and preservering Hope Farm to her former glory! There couldn't be a better pair to do this other than y'all!
Your music reminds me of when the Titanic went down with the band playing. As your roof goes down.LOL😅
I would pay for an ornament laser cut in the shape of Hope House out of the old tin roof ❤❤❤😊. I watch another UA-cam Channel and she talked about Karl from Timber Creek Turnings in PA, he makes gorgeous pens and also includes a certificate of authenticity detailing the history of where the materials of the pen came from. He could make it out of any scrap wood and possibly anything left over from Hope House. I would buy one of these too. 😊🤗
I can’t wait to stay in the cottage! ❤
It is so amazing to me that you are undertaking this project! May God’s favor and blessing be over all. 🙏🏻❤️
The Berry's are terrific! You survived that roof coming off!!
Refreshing to find your channel. So glad there are people like you two willing to save these treasures.
Wow ! It's getting there , prayers and big hugs. It's going to be great!
Glad that you two survived raising the roof.
Talk about multi-tasking!!!!😂😂😂 Best of luck with ALL your endeavors!!! Be safe and GOD BLESS 🙏
Omg guys!!!!! I think you need a margarita!!margaritas!!! Love your music choice!!
With great risk comes great reward. It’s going to be an emotional roller coaster some day, but it will turn out amazing.
😳😬🥴🫣🫢😭
This was my face through this whole video. Lord have mercy. That looks terrifying. I can’t wait to see what Hope is going to look like…in a year or two! 😂
Agreed. I was chanting "oh geez" while watching the roof getting pulled off.
You are both amazing. I get tired just listening to all the things you have to accomplish in one day. Keep up the great work and love watching.
Yay for completing the roof removal! All down hill from here?? Maybe almost:)
I love what you two do, saving history.
✨❤️✨Love you all and how you bring back homes to THRIVE!!!✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️💝❤️
I think I will name my camper Weeble!
Oh you MUST
Thank you for bringing us along on this restoration. Amazing to see how the building holds up still. Look forward to following the rest of this amazing journey!
You make me want to move to Natchez. Right now we live on the arctic north where the weather's cold & the people are colder. We're ultimately secluded & need us some community. 💞
You should!
WOW!
How is that not a tear down?
You both have an amazing amount of ambition & courage. ❤️🙏
Hi! You must be new here. This is a historically significant house and regardless of the fire damage - it absolutely can be saved!! Laine and Kevin would nneeevvvverrr. 😂 Tear down isn’t a term in our language. 😜
@@JessicaMathias3”There’s no such thing as a tear down!“ ❤
I love you too! What you do, your humor and so much more. Thank you for sharing these amazing parts of history. I don’t know how you do all you do but your a team.
I can’t wait to see each episode.
You are both crazy, nuts totally bonkers,and I love it!
Thank you!
Carmen's Habanera... so apt! I'm stressing out just looking at this on video! I can imagine your anxiety watching it happen in real-time! But, we continue to have HOPE!
If I lived anywhere near you I’d certainly come help with the grounds. ❤
Excited about seeing the progress at Hope Farm. Can’t wait to the new roof.
The Courier Journal was a newspaper in Louisville, Ky for many years Every Sunday they published one of those magazines. That was my favorite part.
I just love you guys ....I am so excited when you find treasures
Hey guys! Happy to hear you’re back in Arkansas however briefly. So excited for the progress on Hope.
Wow, that roof coming off was an engineering feat! Amazing - and nice job in the video showing us how it went. Anxious to see more on the little cottage. And, if the skitters in the summer are anywhere near as fierce there as they are here in Texas, I am definitely voting for the screened-in porch!!!!!! Thanks for your channel and all the time and effort here ... God bless you both!
The weather vane is like a wonderful sign (literally and figuratively).
Would love a video on how to make a old home more affordable to live in as well as maintainece tips. These are often times deal breakers for people to buy homes of their dreams. I know yall are in the south where things like insulation aren't as important that in the north but would love to learn more either way
Congratulations Laine and Kevin! This is so very exciting! 😘😘
The garden may be just the "distraction" you need while the outsourced work is being done on Hope Farm....well, other than the cottage distraction. 😂❤
Can’t wait for the finished look. ❤
❤YOU GUYS ARE ADORABLE ❤YOU FINISH EACH OTHER'S SCENTENSES ❤REALLY LOVE YOU GUYS❤ YOU TWO LOOK SOOOO HAPPY❤
There are portfolios that are made like a LARGE book, with clear sheets that you could place the sheets of paper flat, and would help to preserve those newspapers/journals.I think you would need to stabilize the paper first before placing them in the portfolios. Probably check with local archives for experts to get advise and guidance. It would be expensive but of So Cool!
Oh lord yall are very brave taking this on!!!
Ahhmazing! Love you all. ❤❤
I love the mystery and the history of your videos. Just so awesome to see.
This is so much fun to watch all of your videos
Watching that roof coming off was amazing!! And you guys have definitely made me want to move to Natchez Mississippi way bad!
Thanks for the laughs.
Love the music...knowing what kind of pranksters you two can be, I expected to see you in formal evening dress dancing across the screen! Well, there's still time!!! ❤❤❤
Oh gosh wouldn’t that have been the best?! 😂
You two are fantastic. I love the positive energy. Use the Sun to determine cardinal directions! The S appears to be upside down as well.
It's so exciting to see the roof coming off of Hope!!🎉❤
After watching everything you two have going on, I really need to take a nap now! I’m worn out! The roof was terrifying! The cottage is very exciting. I love tiny houses.🌸
Hi Laine and Kevin! I hope all has been well with you both, and your dogs are doing fine. What an exciting, enjoyable, outstanding, educational, historic and humerous update on (1) the Hope Farm mansion's roof removal and related house preservation and restoration processes; and (2) the former on-site Walking Dead cottage. My how time has flown by. Once again, I'm so glad you both have your own UA-cam channel where you can do everything your way. Had this been a scripted HGTV episode with a film crew and directors standing behind the scenes regulating everyone and everything, y'all would have heard the word "cut" so many times that it would have made your dogs want to bite the Pope. 🤣 Do continue to be and stay safe out there. GOD bless!
The old garden rose society does this at cemeteries they would probably help if you wanted old roses for a garden
Good morning Lane and Kevin!!
I want to be just like you two ❤. I’m currently trying to get my husband interested in MS😊
I am glad you can still laugh through it all God bless love from texas!
Your home tours of the antebellum Natchez houses are just the best! Hoping you can do one of Pleasant Hill. It has such an interesting history. Thanks for showing off Natchez so perfectly.
Thought just last night, “I wonder what Laine and Kevin are doing???!” Thanks for the nice long video - feel caught up on progress! Hope you guys have found a roofer with reasonable pricing - onward and upward!😄❤️ lprevost
Thank you for another awesome video! Have been watching you guys since you had about 10k followers and couldn't understand why you don't have more! Well look how far you have come! 🥳
I can't believe all the craziness you have going on!! 😂 How do you keep up with everything!! It's amazing!😁🙌💕
Awesome that hope farm will live on in natchez ms.
Great video, so much going on. I personally think your silly gigglings are so charming but I also think you two are tired. Remember to take some power naps. I would love to have a video tour of the cemetery, that is one of my favorite kinds of past times.
Courier Journal newspaper and magazine is from Louisville, Ky.
We need to look for your videos on Thursday!
I would move to Natchez but hubby wants to move north… so I guess we will still in So. IL for now 😂
Loved this video update on Hope Farm and the cottage. How fun to be staying there right on the grounds(along with the hard work too) as you and the others bring her back to her former glory! As a side note, loved hearing the train horn in the background toward the end of the video. Sweet memories for my husband and I of where we used to live as kids and adults. Sold our home of 28 years built in 1893 Victorian farmhouse style in town came down to me thru my granparents with a barn/ carriage house😢 but were in our 70s now and just too much for us to keep up with so love all your old home restoration that you both do so well ! The South is so amazing but Ohio is where we call home
So awesome!! I can remember working on my grandfathers wood shop when it burnt and finding all of the treasures we otherwise would've never been able to see, so I can only imagine the treasures in Hope Farm!
Amazing work as usual!
Y’all… 😂 I was rewatching this and my 4 year old son-who has been an ORN fan all his life- was watching the roof coming off and he looked all concerned and said “awe poor house! I hope it’s ok!” 😂
Oh that’s amazing!!
Oh oh,oh... I live in Winchester, KY. The Courier Journal is from out of Louisville, KY.525 West Broadway,Louisville,owned by Gannett and part of the USA Today Network. It started printing Nov. 8th,1868. Wow,small world,huh?That looks like a really nice spread on the front page. It actually looks like an insert from maybe a Sunday paper? The archives at the paper would know if you wish to make further inquiry. I'm loving this.
Love you both!❤🧡💛💚💙💜
im really excited to see the cottage finished:)
That chimney footage. 😮💨
Bureaucracy ... gotta love it!! I remember my uncle complaining about needing a permit to remove an old building on his land in Virginia - since I'd lived in rural Texas all my life, I couldn't believe what he had to go through to tear down an old chicken coop!!
Dr. Jim must be an angel.
😮love you two your a hoot
Yes, Volunteer Plants can be so magical! Having a hibiscus show up in your yard and you live in a cold climate is awesome. BUT sometimes you will get volunteers that you don’t want… like the trees. B~}
Y'all are AWESOME! And this restoration is going to be incredible! You're the perfect people to bring Hope Farm back to her former glory. Keep going!!!
Another exciting episode! I so loved the progress updates and look forward to next weeks' vlog! Thank you!
Loved loved loved watching you look through the 1950s pilgrimage guide! 🤗
Oh good! Pearl is selling! So glad to hear that. Will you have to stay in a hotel until the cottage is ready or did you find a place to temporarily rent? So excited to see the progress on Hope! Little steps add up!
We’ve already sold Pearl but the new owners are graciously letting us stay here until the cottage is ready.
great news!! so glad for you both.@@OurRestorationNation
We visited Natchez when we were on a Riverboat cruise and I fell in love with the city. The weekend we were there during the balloon festival and fireworks. We visited Dunleith, Rosalie and Linden and I asked our tour guide about New Hope. I wish we could have seen it but just wasn’t enough time. Definitely will return to Natchez!
Ok, first, hello Moira Rose! LMAO!!! WERK. Second, I used to get the Factor keto meals and they are freaking good, and this is coming from someone who is a tastemaster in the kitchen. Third, I had so much anxiety watching that roof move. That guy really has some skills. I was so impressed watching him fold the metal into a more manageable mass. Again, WERK.
Things are definitely happening now it's going to be fabulous can't wait
9 dogs!?! You as a childless couple have more children than I do!❤
I had eight human ones (it was like a zoo).
😂 made roof removal fun for sure
I LOVE THIS JOURNEY SO EXCITING WHAT AJOB WITH THAT ROOF AND YOU R EVEN RECYCLING THAT YAH THE POCKET DOORS AMAZING AND THEN THOSE TREASURES IN THE CLOSET AND THEN THERE IS THE COTTAGE CAN'T WAI FOR THE NEXT UPDATE
How exciting! Hope Farm is definitely going to be a labor of love. I was tired just watching the video, lol.
I just love your spirit and appreciation for precious historic and old houses!
Check with the library in your local university about preserving paper. I admire your sense of humor to cope with the changes. I am really relieved no one has gotten hurt with demo or with restoration!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing the journey!
I’m so happy you guys are restoring Hope Farm! Keep up the hard work and don’t let the negative people get you down!
A nice long video!I can't tell how much I enjoyed it.Youre so much fun.
Love your channel
THANK YOU For the update! All the best to you hope everything goes smoothly!!
I'm with Laine...you'll need a screened porch with them Mississippi 'skeeters haha
I love working outside and don’t have enough time
