Your final thoughts at the end hit the nail on the head. ~ The people who always say "you're crazy" or "you're wasting your time & money" - Those are usually the people who have tried something, failed & given up. I never tell someone they CAN'T do something. Courage, daring and fearlessness are the result of a clear vision and an understanding of reality. ~ There is no greater reward than being able to sit back after all of this is done, take it all in & go, "Look, I did that." -
Thank you! 🙏🏼👆🏼👊🏻🤣
I don't think you're crazy.
I think you are an absolute inspiration.
Came here to say exactly THAT!!
If I had the money, I too, would be doing this very thing, and doing it the same way - with integrity.
And that staircase rockwork is phenomenal!!!
What a joy just to look at!!
It always makes me happy to see there are still stone masters who can do this the RIGHT WAY!
My hat is off to everyone!
It makes for some pretty unique and fascinating content, just raising a new built wing of the house could never do... and it has to be JIMMY'S idea of where he wants to live in, nobody else's so if he wants to make it perfect for himself, who's got the right to say it's not right?
Well,maybe a little crazy..
But in a good way.
Jimmy is a rare breed. Very few people would take a project like this. 99% of people would tear down and build new.
Every Jimmy needs a Mike. What a great video. Love the series.
It's history - so much is lost to history - I'm glad you're saving something for history!
"It's important in life not to let other people's fears become your own." I can't agree more, and couldn't have said it better myself, Jimmy.
Wow, Jimmy, what a transformation. I'll never fault someone for taking on a hard project like this. Good on ya!
Places like this need people like you every 150/200 years to really fix things the right way and bring life back into them. And update them for modern times. If they are not enjoyable to live in then they get forgotten and end up going to waste.
Fantastic series! I loved hearing Ken's philosophy and Mike's commentary too!
Mr. Diresta, you can be very proud of what you are doing with the Graveyard house and the graveyard. You have integrity, the skill, determination and do great things. Before I became an old man, like you, I was not afraid to tackle any job or project.
Character like that cannot be made over night it takes 200 years! great work! excited for the series, thank you for sharing it!
You always talk about what you said at the end of the video, about not letting other people’s fears become your own. I’ve done my best to keep that in mind whenever I want to do something a little unorthodox and I get pushback from people I know, whether it be family or others. I listen to well thought advice but I try to ignore the “what ifs” and “don’t be crazy” comments and do what I want if I feel strongly about it. 🙌🏻
I use to drive past that house growing up. Always sad when they cut down the old growth. Amazing project cant wait to see more!
Brilliant Jimmy, the world would be a better place with more people like you in it. Simply brilliant old chap. TonyDG London England
I’ve been watching you long enough to know that rescuing an old house is exactly what I’d expect to see you do. Looks good, brother.
F those 'other people" and their negativity! This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this with us!
I love Jimmy's projects. That house will be a gem once finished.
"It's really important in life to not let other people's fears become your own" ~ Jimmy Diresta (TS 27:01). WISE WORDS!!!!
Don't ever stop doing what you're doing! Firstly, because you love doing it and secondly, because WE love to learn from what you're doing! I sure love ya, Jimmy! God bless ya!!
Those 130+ year old beams alone are worth saving this house for. Good work.
Your words and clarity of mind are mesmerizing!!!
If only 2% of the population would take these perspectives to heart we would have a totally different reality.
Please never stop being who you are Jimmy. Keep going as long as you possibly can! We are so blessed to have access to your physical and mental wisdom. Forever Grateful -m31uk3
Great series Jimmy. I love how you've seen a vision of what this can be and you're going for it, no matter now drastic the work. And thanks for giving us early viewing as well.
People only have their own experiences when they are judging. They can only see a situation through the filters within themselves.. So with that said, if YOUR dreams seem right for you then thats all that matters. This is what excites, invigorates, energizes and motivates Jimmy Diresta. And we are all richer for his sharing of his passions.
Me and my wife love this series. 7 years ago we dove into re-posting some of our barn. Put some of it up on cribbing. Couldn’t believe what we were doing! So cool to watch your process! Everything is its own custom job. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for doing it! IMO the best part of the property is the old barn…
I love your attitude, Jimmy! The older you get, the more you should learn, I think.
Jimmy I love this series. You're right I couldn't afford to nor do I have the skills to take on a project like this. But I wish I were there. By you sharing the video I feel like I am there. Thanks for the added work to video this transformation. :o)
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for sharing these adventures with us.
"But theres still rot and bug damage "Jimmys baby voice
Awesome job Jimmy love the work you doing and it IS inspiring keep up the great work!
You are doing a great job on that house. Showing the respect, it and its builders deserve.
Jimmy,
The fact that you take the time to repair history, is worth it!
That's much better than our instant gratification, tear down build new society.
What would be cool, however, would be to make it a passive house. Heated floors, more Rockwood, hardy board siding, the works. But keep it old looking. Keep up the great work!
That's what I appreciate about you Jimmy. You don't let other people dictate your life. Haters hate because they're jealous. Keep on rockin' bro!
Love it! This series is my goto zen moments for 2023.
How truly magnificent! Such a fabulous philosophy married to a work ethic of doing it right. Pity you’re not running the world! Thanks for sharing!
Right on - saving history is rare and valuable for our future.
This video is like a cold beer after hard work, thanks Jimmy. Cheers!
Doing what you want/enjoy is priceless. Have fun.
I'm pretty new to this channel, but I gotta say, I appreciate Ken. I am a special education teacher and I understand integrity. Come back Ken, we need you. You're Kenough.
No defense needed. You do you and we watch! Respect the skills.
Jimmy, I can't thank you enough for your videos. Great work as always sir. Cheers!
Seeing you take on this project gives me confidence in small projects that once looked big in my eyes
Everyone has an opinion about everyone else. They need to stay in their own lane. Great job so far Jimmy. Thank you for sharing this adventure.
100 percent Jimmy! You are doing this for your own purposes and vision, not everyone else’s. It’s an exercise of bringing a home to its potential, while honoring its past.
Just wow! Can't wait to see the progression over time. Glad to see there's alot of thought and patience here with this great project so far. Bearded man has the 3 rules of life correct. Love when there's a good bit of integrity around. Keep up the great work with this house!
I love what Ken said. “When you work with other people not everybody has integrity.” it’s sad but true.
Love your care about the world around.
Well you're clearly doing this the right way: Jack up the roof, and slide a new house under it! Fascinating stuff Jimmy!
The reason I have followed you for so many years is what you said right there in the end. That´s exactly what it´s all about.
Jimmy, you are an inspiration for us all. Thank you for sharing this insightful video journey and your thoughts. Your preservation efforts are amazing. Wishing you and your team a great week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother
8:00 I love the way you saw off the beams and then let Mr. Universe get some valuable exercise in. Win win.
"It's really important in life to not let other people's fears become your own." Great words to live by, thanks.
I think you're a free man, that's the reason you don't realize things like others! And I like this way of living!😊
Great comment at the end about the project. I'm with you Jimmy. Thank you for taking this project on. Seeing how you work I imagine how great this house will be once you're done.
I don't have the money, I don't have the time. Love the work. Keep it up Jimmy.
Enjoying this series so much. Keep up the great work Jimmy and crew!!!
I love how you are going about restoring this lovely property. I'm with you. The reason you can do something like this is because you CAN... I really enjoy watching your channel. You are extremely talented in the trades and it's a lot of fun to see how you create cool things.
I love your attitude, Jimmy. We share our life philosophy. Thanks for the video.
Fireman Mike is a beast!! Love hearing his NY accent too.
This is fascinating to watch. And your voice over explaining each step really helps understand what is going on. Thanks for another excellent video.
That chainsaw work was amazing dude!!!! It fit like a glove!!!
That addition definitely needed to come apart.
They don't have the vision - of what this will be in the end! Really enjoying your work on this house!
Jimmy, saving that old house ❤️ brings a tear to my eye. It is at the same level as your shop Kyle built.
Unbelievable house and property. So lush and green!
Great film. Super interesting. It's cool to see how our forefathers reused, repurposed materials. Kudos for returning the house to its original condition. It is about time to shift our disposal society. Mahalo for sharing! ❤️🙂🙏
Jimmy, I love this content, preserving a 200 year old home is very very worth it, and if you have the time and money to sort this, go go go go and we will enjoy watching it all come together.
It's becoming the House of Theseus! Nice work, love this series.
i love your statement at the end. I do a lot of my own thing all the time and people question it constantly but they dont have respect for the old ways or history. I find so much gratification on recycling things into something else or letting something live on with my help. Great content Jimmy.... thanks for letting us tag along.
having and keeping the desire is important, keep nurturing it, when it's lost it's hard to revive.
Thank you for sharing.
That beam that broke the sledgehammer handle, has earned the right to made into one itself!
Your last words define how is the passion for what we do. You are one of the most important part of my decision for becoming what I am right now. You don't know me Jimmy but you are one of my mentor trough thoese last 9 hears. From "my left foot" video to now.
I’m glad you’re having fun, don’t stop
I'm really enjoying these restoration videos Jimmy and I'm looking forward to seeing your vision when it's completed.
Watching your channel for years from Manchester UK..👍🏼
Yes, you have the time and the money but most importantly you have the vision and desire to re-make this house into your dream. Looking forward to seeing your dream come true. Thank you for the video.
People have doubts about this project? They do know who you are and your reputation, right? I think it's fantastic. Keep 'em coming (the videos).
Glad I stayed for the closing comments. Well said.
I like that the bodybuilder man is wearing kneepads, that stuff is so important if you're spending a lot of time on your knees and so many people ignore it and get knee problems in their forties.
The music soundtrack is perfect. Thanks again!
So Cool! Thanks for taking us along.
I cant wait to see that bandsaw that Keith Rucker just built for Jimi see some action. There is something magical about resurrecting these old historic industrial machines, and putting them back into service..... I'm getting the pop corn ready...
Always a pleasure to see your work and your passion!
It feels like I’m watching an episode of This Old House 👍🏻, can’t wait to watch the next episode. Keep up the amazing work, your stone stacker guy is definitely an artist, it looks…WOW…
It's a labor of love! Yes and you saved it from a developer who would have put up either little houses on 1/4 acre lots or mini mansions. That area is beautiful and, so far, untouched. I love that the wood and beams and sills are giving up their secrets! You are contributing to it's history! I am so glad you are sharing this adventure with us!
Well done Jimmy. Realistic renovations of a old house that has lived a bit.
Keep saving history Jimmy! Excellent work!
That piece of maple might make a good historical piece to turn into a custom cue to go with that new billiard table of yours. Would love to see you take on that as a project. Cheers.
So happy you have the desire to save this structure. I can't wait to see the conclusion.
You're doing a great job! I'm building a 4Runner right now and people ask all the time "Why spend so much money on THAT?"
Well, It's my money, My time and it's what I want to do...... I built it......
You should be so proud of the work you're doing... Can't wait 'til the next video!
Thank you Jimmy for the inspiring videos and sharing your knowledge and skills with all of us...
So enjoyable watching you work. The house will be a treat for and family. I need to find the episode of This Old House you were on. Your DIRESTA logo is the greatest!
I don’t know what it is, but I am 100% invested on witnessing this project all the way to the completion.
I wish I was in a position to live how you do. Keep doing your thing so we can live vicariously through you!
