THE FIRST CLEANING IN 40 YEARS?!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- This video is all about my 1917 farm house. The video starts with a little background history on the house and then quickly jumps back in time to show the progression of the house over the course of this summer. I have invested hundreds of hours into cleaning, painting, and organizing the inside of the house. This video shows documented clips of the house cleanup along the way. Do not worry, this video will not be the last of house working activities. Projects on the house will continue as financial means arise.
Thank you for watching!

Whoever raised this kid needs to be in charge of teaching everyone. Epic work ethic and family values.
That's Iowa !
Jill Babcock my thought also
Agree! Just told him this! Talented n Appreciative.
Farmers never seem to stop working.
My God I’m speechless . I can’t believe what I’m watching ! A 22 year young man talking about,”working in the farm” cleaning, organizing and who appreciate the value of his roots and his family. What a treasure! House is hermosaaaaa 😢mi sueńo 👵🏽
I love how a guy this age is so motivated and appreciative of his families hard work and history. Lov luv love his passion for cleaning and clearing a beautiful gift to him.
Rebekah kissel I agree
Rebekah kissel amen!! Such a hard worker and what an inspiration!
Rebekah kissel agree 100%💙
Such a cool house. Lots of hard work. But so worth it. Like someone said, they don't build homes like that anymore. The craftsmanship in the woodwork, amazing. So happy it's staying in the family.
Agreed!!
I don't know how I got here, but the way he honored his grandfather and family was really touching.
Rachel Radtke same
Me too. I stopped the video to read the description and was sold, looking forward to watching.
same here. I will watch this journey.
Same. No idea.
I got here cause he look like Gilbert grape.. soo yeah
I am 73, and thrilled that this young man is so very appreciative of the house and the beautiful wood furnishings 🥰😊🤗 may the Good Lord keep blessing you !!
I'm 72 and agree with you 100% !
Amen to that. I wished that I could be gifted my parents 1920s home. God knows it needs love and maintenence.
@@bjaquez6 I ended up with the family home it's a 1930s, when my family bought it back in the 60s they had it as a rental, fast forward to the 90s, they gave it to my mom, fast forward to 2007 I got it, I have had my work cut out for me. I like the house but it doesn't quite feel like home. I wish I had a Victorian.
He is a nice person, and it's very appreciated by an older person.
i wasnt expecting this level of professionalism and attention to detail from a youtuber that calls himself cole the cornstar
Mollipop417 marketing ploy with the name 😉
Milking cows is all about the little details
Cole the Cornstar is catchy but then the intelligence comes through!!
I was pleasantly surprised.. very impressed
@@kjoshanks2928 That makes two of us!
Kept the house, cleaned it out himself, farms it, youtuber, has a roommate to share expense, doesn’t buy anything he doesn’t need. Smart, smart, smart.
Your grandpa would be proud.
Farmers are used to working hard and only buying what they need.
Kid was definitely raised right!! Good job to his parents and family and he's definitely growing into a fine young man.. kudos to this little cutie patootie dude!! You're doing it right guy 👏
PlumberGasfitter who even gave you a loan to buy the house ?
You saw the sunglasses right? lol jk
Never ever ever get rid of that house no matter what.
I can't imagine he ever would seeing as how it's right smack dab in the middle of the main farm.
Some people just say dumb things
WHY would anyone dislike this? God bless this young man in all his endeavors. He is a jewel and a treasure...and EXTREMELY rare!
2k out of 2.7 million views...a mere minority. But funny how they never comment why!
Miserable people from miserable families most likely.
precognative maiden but it looks like he never thru away any of the antiques. As much as he cares about this family heirloom, I couldn’t imagine he threw away antiques.
g e; I strongly agree.....💖👍🙏

A 22 year old that cleans? That boys parents need an award!
I've been cleaning for as long as I can remember and I'm 23 do I get a cookie too? 😂😢
omg that was too old, i clean our intire house since when i was 8 and do the dishes everyday, i pretty much more in need an award :D
He cleans and he works Full time... And doesnt tolerate clutter..ill bet he wipes his feet.
I clean my entire house every day, do laundry, wash dishes and everything and I'm 18
I'm 18 n I do it😂
Guys. We are labourers😂😂
Your grandfather is undoubtedly smiling down on you, dude.
ACultured I agree and well said my friend
Or gnashing his teeth n' havin' a jumpin'up and down conniption fit becuz alla his treasures bein' thowed out!
@@mariedelozier2530 no, he saved all that stuff out of necessity, not greed, and doesnt need it anymore
@@ProfessionalArmourer Yup, but I know from two generations of farmwimmen that a mans' savin' of stuff that COULD be necessary down the the road chaps our butts betimes and a place deep-cleaned, fresh-painted and organised like that would make us sing HALLELUJAH!!
I really like this guy. Salt of the earth, solid, hard working middle America type... God Bless 'em. Sharp, industrious, clean, and a positive attitude. A young man with a head full of dreams. I wish him all the best.
Tami Vega yes I agree
But he’s not Mexican haha
I agree
Young man, you did a heck of a job. I am so glad to see the younger generation keeping up those old houses and farms. Keep up the great work young man !
@@11ozzielover huh? What about Mexican?
I helped my cousin sort out a huge Victorian he inherited from his 96 year old Spinster/ school teacher Aunt. ( in 2002). She lived there her entire life and boy oh boy was it a time capsule chocked full of history. She was the only surviving child because her brother died in WW1. She inherited the house from her parents. Took us 4 days to sort thru the attic and 4 more for the basement. I took home a van load of lace linens and antique quilts. We also watched as an antiques dealer filled a large truck with antique furniture, art , pottery, glass and oriental carpets which at auction brought in $280,000. I thought it was dusty and smelly old junk! Who in the world would want old worn carpets and yellowed paintings of farm animals? Well, I was very wrong. It amazed me how much clutter she accumulated. How many sets of China can one old lady have? Why are there hundreds of glass goblets? Why does one woman need 6 closets of clothes? Boggles the mind. She had kept department store bags and hat boxes neatly piled in the attic for at least 5 decades ( About two 5 ft piles of folded store bags of stores closed in the 70’s and 80’s so it was a blast to remember my childhood). Bonwit Teller, Bergman’s, Bambergers, Gimbels, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hayne’s, Brooks Brothers, Lord & Taylor etc.
The attic was filled with 5 trunks of Victorian gowns and walking suits. There were thousands of books tucked into every crevice in the attic stair way, stair landings and attic eaves. I was exhausted after a week and have memories to last a lifetime!
Your cousin inherited a treasure of what our ancestors manufactured, made, painted and printed back then .
How lucky you were to be able to go through a Victorian house!
Ooooh so lucky! Did you film it?
@@vegetariansuniteworldwide8091 We did not film it and I could just kick myself. At first I was so horrified by all the clutter that I naturally just wanted to get the heck out of there. The second visit was much better, like time travel, going through closets and drawers and cupboards and another closet and the linen room. Yes, the linen room was called “the linen press” and had many shelves with of white linens folded between tissue paper, craft paper or thick blue paper the color of Indian Ink, tied in a white ribbon.( laundry services back then wrapped every sheet set in this dark blue paper and ties the package like a gift). All the linens were white with embroidered or dancing ladies with baskets of flowers. 3 days in the attic. It was weird seeing boxes of beauty products that were 60 years old. There were mirrored compacts with little velvet puffs that were topped with a peach ribbon and velvet rosebud.... the detail was amazing. Even simple items like pens came in their original box, and folded directions were printed on tissue paper, neatly tucked into the box. I got the biggest kick out of seeing typed price tags with a knitted string and bow. Price tags had bows? AND the price tag also had a little picket with 2 extra buttons. Sales receipts were hand written in great detail, such as “ women’s white silk blouse , mother of Pearl buttons and lace collar by Milady Fashions of Deerfield Michigan. “ amazing. Those people had leisurely lives for sure. Hand written sales receipt! I also found foundation garments that were so weird. Heavy watered silk taffeta embroidered with ring and rings of silk thread that formed circular areas for the lady’s bumps and lumps. Silk stockings were neatly folded in tissue , in thin boxes that had pretty floral paper lids. Oh. My. Goodness. I really should write all this down, room by room and share it with my siblings.
@@tgm2754 Wow! That’s amazing! Maybe you should make a photo album or the items all dispersed now? I would have loved to have seen all of these things. For anyone reading this, I know set decorators in Hollywood would love to get their hands on these things!
This young man is definitely one of a kind! His grandfather would be so proud of him! Great job Cole!!
AMEN ☺🙏😇
Never sell that house ever, keep it in the family
Exactly!
Agree!
Agreed!
I totally agree with you never sell it
Agree
Wow that house. They just don't build anything close to this anymore.
The wood is beautiful you don't see that very often.
Yeah, like the crappy hollow core flush luan doors.
Very beautiful old house. This is a labor of love. Neat to be sitting in the room where your grandfather was born! Good son and grandson! I bet your parents and family are thankful for your cleanup projects!
Thank god they don't build like that anymore.
The workwork? OK.. I agree that is nice, but you certainly can get something a lot nicer if you have the cash.
Modern building of reasonable quality and significantly better than old building. In terms of construction science, materials, air quality and cost of operations. Old building let in crazy amounts of outside air, so in that respect the air quality is good so longer after it was built, but modern materials do not release anywhere near the amount of harmful chemicals.
At least here in Germany. Maybe it is different for you guys in the US?
pablomax3045
You are right about the Energy Efficiency but for a lot of people myself included would much rather have to deal with some drafts then to give up on the charm and personality. And if that's a big problem you can always have main Windows replaced and blow it insulation.
What a beautiful house and lucky grandson to inherit it. Love how he respects the architecture of the house and is respectful of his heritage. Wonderful young man!
They don't build houses like that anymore, lovely carpentry
mead 67 actually they do..just not in America.
mead 67 I knoooow😥😭. I would pick I house like over a mansion any day. Just something about that old time-y ness. Everything these days is just bland and uncharacteristic.
Right!! What a gift.
@15guinea I learned about Cole through being mentioned on BCP.
Donna Ickes ....curious as to what BCP means in your comment? Looked it up and there are 416 meanings to this particular abbreviation so I couldn’t even begin to guess! I bet I’m not the only one wondering! Thanks!
Is anyone else like jealous of the fact that he’s almost 22 and already has that much land and a huge house.
@@simbalantana4572 still jealous
No, I'm absolutely delighted for him...he seems very respectful of his family lineage, works hard, is forward-thinking and very deserving of his inheritance. Jealousy is an emotion steeped in negativity; it's very unflattering to be jealous. Best wishes for continued productivity and prosperity to Cole.
@@thegroupharmonyalley Exactly!
RIGHT? Good for HIM I say .
E-yes
nice to see a young person who appreciates the beauty of old authentic architecture
Omg yes because you don't get ANY youngsters who appreciate antiques
@@-________-9267 yea, most of them think the 90's are old and don't know the difference in an antique and authentic architecture
Beautiful old house.The wood in the house is something you just don’t see anymore.Awesome
This makes me so happy to see someone you’re age doing this.
your Grandpa is looking down and saying "I am very proud of that kid"
Until he saw those sunglasses
There's a very good chance our family did the newer aerial photo of your farm. Is it possible for you to check for a label on the back? I'm curious to know if it is one of ours. The frame and mat look like what we used also. Thanks.
@@jeanecottam9977 I hope he checks that out, because that would be a cool thing to know.
This comment is probably more true then most people may think. Those who have gone before us know more about what's been happening here then others may think. I'm sure his Grandpa plays a part in some respects on how things will run in this home and property. The influence is there, and this guy was given this home for a reason.
or could be made cause he’s throwing away all his stuff. 😂
It is SO refreshing to see someone, let alone a young adult, that loves the wood and kept it as it was meant to be! Beautiful home and I know your Grandparents are so happy to see that their home is getting much needed love! A job well done!
I agree, what an awesomely beautiful home! I know you might be thinking about eliminating some of those interior doors downstairs, please if you do, think long and hard first. You will want to reuse that beautiful wood somewhere else and make your changes in such a way that it will look like it had always been that way. I was wondering, the walls seem so smooth, are they plaster still or sheet rock. This is definitely a well loved home.
I kept expecting an image of a specter to show up in the background, Smiling!
His work ethic is amazing for anyone..... young or old. Wow...... I’m tired and I just watched.
This house interior looks like its in excellent condition for its age.
The exterior looks good too. Just needs a good scraping and painting
Check out that woodwork. It is hard to even find a house that size in most metropolitan areas that somewhere along the way natural woodwork fell out of fashion and was painted and ruined. I noticed this video has the most views on the channel and hope Cole does a follow up soon. Many people like to see the farm operation and the farm house!
I really like all the wood trim, the built in furniture the floors & the ceiling beams And the paneling that I THINK I saw.
What a Gem of a house and grandson to put this house back to use in 2019.
I was thinking the same, what a gem of a grandson!! His grandfather must/would be so proud!
Ditto to you both!!! Y’all took the words right out of my thoughts.
This house is a gem. You are so blessed.
The inside of this home is beautiful
This young chap is a fine example for young people. He is so focused and a hard worker 👍👍👍👍👍to you young man
Absolutely! So refreshing to see. He will go far!
Here! Here! I agree with Clever Witch. This house is stunning. I am so glad that you didn’t paint over all of the wood trim. Just found this UA-cam in May, 2020. You are indeed paying tribute to the history in this house. I will definitely be looking for more of your videos.
Great job, you make your family very proud!! This is a wonderful and positive video, so many other channels show sadness of forgotten personal items, which is very depressing and boring! Thanks for your positive vibes!!
Just stop! Kid inherits a fortune. Least he can do is clean the house!
@@gmack3883 what a bitter jealous attitude you have
I was so impressed by his desire to get everything cleaned out, preserved, or trashed. My son is 19 and his room looks like some of the 'before' rooms here!
Great job, Cole. Your parents obviously instilled some great values in you!
Hi! Watching from the Philippines.😊
@@mariflordada204 I would love to be at a Philippine whore house right now.
Sorry for the loss of your grandpa, but I'm glad you're to care for his home for many years to come.
Awwwww, you've honored your grandfather in a beautiful way.
New sub. 1st video of yours I've watched and it made me feel very happy. I love all the antiques and I'm glad you kept a lot. Great job. Looking forward to watching your other vids this long weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for sharing...
I want husband like him, hard working, appreciative of his family and their history, can clean and hopefully cook without hesitation.
So would lots of girls. The problem is he's smart. He'd wonder what YOU can do? Painting your nails, doing your hair and watching TV all day, somehow isn't going to cut it.
Absolutely, he is as rare as the home.
I can deal with power tools and painting and framing and dry wall and flooring, but I wouldn’t mind a good looking man to hang out and look pretty and cook for me, I suppose. Although I think you can hire ppl for that.
So glad you didn't sell the house, grandpa is probably smiling and so proud of you!!!!!
janeen Hutchinson Exactly my thought, too, Janeen! His grandpa smilling, patting his back. So proud of him.
I'm amazed at how much sorting and cleaning out he can do in a day or three. It would take me *weeks* to go through one room.
That’s an amazing old house! Thank you for sharing your honor of the memory of your Grand Parents and for wanting to keep their treasures in your future family!
so fun to see a young man restoring his grandfathers house, such history in that house
I love how respectfully you spoke of your grandfather and his possessions.
I've been through this same thing both while mine was still living and then after and I have to say, we had some spirited debates over what was and was not rubbish.
Anyways, I hope your parents and you are very proud of what you achieved and the hardworking, kind caring guy you are.
It’s people like him that make me wanna meet more southerners and midwestern people. 😭
Lol
Lol... Lets hope u dont meet my family. They have no respect for family. I just want my parent part of the farm but my mom doesnt want to go to court so now i dont have anything of my great grandpa's or grandma's. PS... FUCK my aunt. Oh and my aunt isnt even fucking blood related and she FUCKING HAS EVERYTHING.
Being from southern Alabama I can say we are pretty sweet! Granted we have assholes like everyone else but for the most part we live up to the term southern hospitality ❤️
As a southerner myself, I can say we are always sweet to your face! Behind your back, it really depends lol
💜 Bless your heart 😊
I realize that I'm a late bloomer in getting in on all that's going on with you Cole, but that house is simply STUNNING. And your right, those ceilings are beautiful. The woodwork in that house is to die for, its evident, that your grandparents took great pride in keeping that house brilliant. Aside from the clutter, for which everyone has that, most especially older folks, but otherwise there really are no words for that house. I'm extremely happy that you are keeping all the woodwork and hardwood floors in good shape and also that you are remembering your grandfather in keeping some wonderful keepsakes around to enjoy. Btw, the bedroom furniture is stunning as well, real keepers there.
Thanks for showing/sharing your house, well taken care of it will be there for another few hundred years 💗💗💗
Cole, you are so lucky to be able to live in that wonderful old house with so much family history!!! Not many young men would appreciate it like you do!!!! So impressed with you, your parents raised you right, they must be proud...
I agree
The world needs more people like him. Great job dude.
I wanted to thumbs you up but your avatar is disgusting.
This kid is genius. This is very satisfying for an almost OCD cleaner like me.
I love the fact that you've kept the old charme of the house. Good work!
I love this young man, his grandpa would be so proud of the responsible person he is ❤️
Grandpa didn't do damage he loved his home. Proud of you guys.
The fact that he’d put in the work to make that house livable is unheard of nowadays.
You deserve that inheritance and much more sir.
Cole I am so very impress by you, your drive, perfectionist maybe, passion, work ethic !
It has been a pleasure.
We would really enjoy watching further progress on this gorgeous old house.
I do hope he shows the progress from time to time, it really would be enjoyable.
I want some ghost videos. It's gotta be hella haunted
@@richardheadmedia9497 I doubt it because the house was built by his family. Only one family has lived in it. So if it were haunted it'd be from his own family members saying "hi" and "nice job on the house!" 😛
Good GOD, this house is absolutely stunning. They don’t make them like they used too, that’s for sure. I would give anything to live in a home like this now. It’s absolutely beautiful.
I don't know many 22 years olds who would go through and clean an entire house and would do such a great job.(Actually I don't know any )You did a wonderful job, you did very -very well.You brought the house back to life,and treated it with respect.Now enjoy it! You are amazing.
A farm boy
He had an entire team to help him tho 😏
@@RareGem369 he would need it.
@@RareGem369 I think so too.
No, not one 22 yr old would even know the value of keeping up the family home. I have kids that live with me in my parents 1922 home and all they say is, well it's old, when I tell them to be careful of the stuff in it. Careless and selfish. 😕
That is an amazing house. Good on you for loving it and keeping your family heritage alive.
I’m literally sat here imagining how I’d decorate every room, it’s such a beautiful home 🥰
Cole is an old soul... No other explanation for it
💐 only some are like minded and souled and have often wished corporate build groups were the same with their builds for multiple occupancy builds
he could be a lovely witch man thingy
Imagine being his age with a free paid off house one can only dream
*Dream LE$$ - Live MORE!* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is very fortunate and he made the right decision to clean and fix it up rather than sell the home for quick cash like some people would do.
It is a dream how nice it is I love his grandfather and i dont even know him
take it from a farmer, the taxes he pays on the land, house, and buildings are more than the mortgage than most other home owners pay. Farm families that pass along property do it so the farm can continue and the next generation can get a start but it is not free or easy.
🤷🏼♀️ at least he’s appreciative and doing the right thing by being responsible.
Your Energy and Love for your "families" house is Awesome! Way to go tending to and cleaning up!
I really appreciate that you showed integrity and respect for your grandfather as you went through his things. You are an amazing young man.
Cleaning up, remodeling this house could be a full on UA-cam channel all by itself
It's so cool, as someone from England, to see proper American history. Such a beautiful house and I'm so glad to see you carry on the history!
American history is filled with evil with benefits for 1 specific group on the back of the others. Not pretty.
Yeah, 102 year old house is fairly old for us. There are definitely older houses -- many from the 1800s, some from the 1700s, and just a few from the 1600s. But, still finding a 100 year old house unrenovated with the original woodwork still there and unpainted is pretty rare. I actually live in one myself with my mom -- not nearly as big as Cole's, and no farm! She bought it in 1983 and it had not been updated ever. I mean, not just the nice wood still there, but the original electricity, wallpaper, windows (no storm windows), glass and porcelain doorknobs, push button light switches, overhead light fixtures. The only thing that was not original to 1919 when the house was built was the 1950s stove and sink. Original cast iron stove is still in the basement, though. Too heavy to move! We have painted the walls and updated the kitchen, bathroom (and added a half bath), the electricity (couldn't plug in the toaster and a hair dryer at the same time when we first moved in!), insulation, storm windows. But the rest is all original. Oh, had have the front porch rebuilt last year (had rotted out), but it's the same design as it was. A lot of maintenance keeping up an old house, but I truly love this house.
DJcyberslash , really, you have to spread your ‘opinion’ on this site. Keep your politics on more appropriate sites that are geared for that. Sheesh....
Bless his heart. I wish he’d find a pot of gold in one of those closets.
I'm a 34 year old housewife and it's taken me 10 years of staying home to achieve your level of keeping things clean, you are awesome!
Same mama! Lol
RIP to your grandfather bud. I’m sure he’s looking down with a smile seeing you working so hard on the Family house and making it your own. Best of luck to you!
GetHooked for real though! He’s sure gotta be proud ❤️
@@TxMom13 Definitely is, every time I see my grandpa I make sure to tell him I love him, and I look into his eyes and I can feel all the hard work, love and Pain he has endured over his Life time. Seeing him smile at his Grandchildren you can tell he cherishes every moment he gets with them. It will break my heart the day he leaves this world.
It's so wonderful to see the appreciation this young man has for the house that's been in his family for so long, I pray that God continues to bless you & your family 😊
This is an amazing young man. The appreciation and respect for his family's history. All our family has are a couple chairs and a dressing table. Everything else, including our family bible, are gone. I hope you have great success and happiness.
This literly poped up in my recommended and I was like well ok then!
Lol I'm about to watch now .
A guy has to be SOOOOO happy when his little video is recommended! And we all get to enjoy his work. Weird how UA-cam works.
Me too. :D
Hard working kid. Making a living and working his butt off. I have so much respect for that. Liked and Subbed to support hard work!
Same here 👍
Love his energy...and haven’t heard on curse word come out of his mouth, yet! Love it!!
OMG! I’m working backwards in your videos and hadn’t watch the first house video. Goodness the work you have done in a year. Thanks for being respectful toward your grandfather. Every item in his home held a memory for him. You don’t have to keep anything but it’s nice that you took time to acknowledge that everything held value to him at a particular time in his life. The wood throughout is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for not painting that fabulous wood molding and trim.
He’s so sweet he must be protected at all costs
I think he could take care of himself better than most people!
I always wanted a son
@@p52893 Send in the clones
There are so many beautiful old houses that need this done to them before they are forgotten and ultimately torn down.
Agreed! My family owned a beautiful home in South Georgia which is now a historical house since my 5th great uncle was the founder of the Elberta peaches. I recently found out that it’s up for sale for about $700,000.00 *ugh* which is way more than my family can afford right now. While I’ve never gotten the chance to meet all of my great grandmothers side of the family, I do wish that we could do the same like this guy did to his grandfathers house. I just hope who ever purchases my great uncles house next that they take great care of it and keep his history alive.
Oh my goodness you’ve turned it into a jewel everything is gleaming!
This house is an antique lovers dream.
Oh dear, Lord.... this makes me want to immediately get rid of ‘stuff ‘ so my kids don’t have to do this...
Jac Cruick lol please do. My boyfriend and I just moved into his grandparents house and it was actual hoarder status when we started cleaning it out. Also has never been renovated since it was built in the 70s
Same here .. I am the only child, care-giver to my elderly mum, and never had children, my father was an only child too, all his family is gone. When I pass, hubby and his family will have to deal with our things, which they really don't have much of an attachment to, esp my mum and dad's old stuff .. I have one cousin, over in England, I think I will pass photos to him .. good luck with your clean up! Cheers ..
Tbh yes. Agree
Oh yes, we already did that when we bought our small condo, nobody will clean up after me.
My beautiful old home that was built in 1910, huge three story, four bedrooms. I have already sadly had to move from there. Now I'm starting to clean out my small one bedroom apartment next week. It all goes! If my children don't want things now or I haven't used something in the last year, it's gone. Cole & his family put a lot of hard work into removing old furniture & paper's. Incredible job, wow! 😇🙏💜
I beg you not to ever paint the woodwork like everybody else does. This house gets it character from it. Good job...
I did not like the dark wood work at all. And my house was also hunted.
I think your grandparents would be proud that you are taking so much pride In the history of this be a utiful home and the farm. This is what legacy is all about. Keep up the amazing effort. And you are still so young. Most kids your age don't have the responsibility of life in them as yet.
I don’t know who you are or why UA-cam recommended this to me but I am SO glad it did. This house is GORGEOUS and you’ve done an amazing job cleaning it!! This was such a joy to watch, thank you for sharing 😁
I'm so sorry about the loss of your Grandfather.
I don’t know how this showed up in my suggested, but your house Is gorgeous. I live across the river in Illinois.
Beautiful.Life.of.Nicole how cool is that!
So happy you care about preserving this beautiful home.
Beautiful home with old school accents and personality.
Just a beautiful home. Moving out of my home..1840... wishing one of my granddaughters would of taken it big sadly the couldn’t... happy for you Great job❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Substantial house for the time and place.
I'm very impressed by the work ethic of this young man, and his desire to preserve the wood accents in this beautiful house. That woodwork is irreplaceable!
daveminn7 Same! I absolutely love this video
daveminn7 Agree. The woodwork is gorgeous. We lived in a home, until I was 13, with beams on the ceilings in the living room. It was built in 1924 or thereabouts. This home reminds me of our old home, but more magnificent.
Wow it would have taken me years to get all that cleaned out.
I'm trying to clean my front room. 3 weeks later it still looks like an episode of Hoarders.
I love how you’ve tackled everything with such enthusiasm! You seem to have a knack for organizing and you have incredible vision. You even do a fantastic job cleaning! Congratulations on all your hard work. I hope that you have a very happy time making this a lovely home.
Wow you were raised well that’s all imma say 😆 you don’t understand how special ya grandfather and grandmother must feel in heaven to watch your document this not only document this bt clean and live n his same house that’s awesome
Phat Vibez Yes this is amazing! I am so impressed
They are smiling on him, and he has a great personality.
Give me a beautiful old house with tons of character over a brand new house ANY day!!! Great job!!
Mollie Mae. Give me a house ...and I’ll take it 😂 any kind
You’re so lucky to get to live in the old family house. I love old houses like that!
Zen would say; We'll see...Everything you own, owns you...As a builder/contractor for 3 decades, I saw 150K worth of work on the exterior...That house needs about 325K to make it Salable for a profit...
@@godbluffvdgg that depends if he wants to sell it. Not a smart move if you have a mortgage free home, why in the world would you want to move to another house, get into debt? Even if he brought it up to date, selling is a pain in the ass! When you have a gem like this that is handed down to you; you don't give it up. Not everyone wants to sell a home after getting it.
@@virginiatorres228 Taxes and upkeep...He insinuated he's poor...That's not a house for poor person...

Wow! I don't see anywhere near $325k of anything needing to be done to this house! It's in gorgeous condition for the age. The original bathroom needs minimal work. Just needs a little cosmetic work - the tub and tile work on the floor is amazing and would be a shame if it was removed. The kitchen could use a little work to make it look a little more "farmhouse style" but it's completely functional as is - it could be made to look more like an original farmhouse kitchen for $10k-$15k if you know what you're doing. Again, gorgeous house that needs minimal work. Besides, this house isn't a flip, it's a family heirloom.
I think it's ironic and hilarious that anyone might pay $325,000 to turn it into the "farmhouse" style so popular on UA-cam, Pinterest and HGTV when it's ALREADY a farmhouse. I don't know...Maybe $325k in Philly contractor estimates! No disrespect intended.
@@justathought354 We're both right...:)...Sure, you can go cheap and do the bare minimum to get it comfortably modern but...To me; it needs all the clapboards ripped off, then address the inevitable rot or insect damage, Roof, same thing, All new porch the eaves are shot...And THAT is just the front; in a quick glance...I shot the first number from the hip but, to do it right, total house, with new windows, doors, etc etc etc...You might be closer to 200K exterior only...I've been working on big houses like this in Swarthmore for decades...It's not unusual to put 300K into an old house like that...
That is amazing the home has been in your family that long. I think it's wonderful you have kept it and are taking good care of it.
Old houses have so much character. Absolutely gorgeous.
Gorgeous house. I was shocked when I saw the interior compared to the outside. This is a house worth keeping. Update electrical. Pipes, prob roof, etc.... Will be a home for many more years. This house should be worth quite a bit after renovation. Keep at it.
I really admire your energy and enthusiasm. You don't see that in today's youth. Love you get to keep your grandparents home, how special. God bless.
I'm in love with your family, the beautiful house and your farm. Cole, you are a very lucky young man to have a loving family not many people are as lucky as you. I'm going to watch all your videos because first off I want to see the house when it's completely done and second I can't get enough of your family!!
I really like that you're keeping the character of the house and the omage to your grandfather.
Smart to keep a good roof on that house all those years
Absolutely 👍
Annnnnd why aren’t there more guys my age this motivated 🤔 love the house and it’s bones 💙
Amanda Herkenham what motivated to clean? That shouldn’t be a hard thing to find. As for the house screw that old house rehab that place is fucking haunted.
Bc they aren't raised right.
@@ashleymccarty they raised by Single mothers
My 13 year son is very motivated, but he won’t be inheriting a mansion. 🤷🏼♀️
Love the house.. Excited to see this house each time you do something to it.. Good work, Cole.. Your are a very hard working young man.. God bless you..
It's nice to see someone young have an interest in an older home. Yes, the house is in your family but it is nice that you pointed out some of the features you like. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so proud of you for wanting to take care of your grandfather's home. I would love to watch you decorate each room!!!
It’s good to see a young man with so much ambition and respect for his family. You rarely see that anymore.
What a beautiful home and farm. So glad the family has a continuing legacy. You are so fortunate that it has stayed in the family.
