Historians guess that concealed shoes in a wall originally served as magical charms to ward off witches, demons and ghosts.
Might want to put the shoes back in the wall when time comes ;-)
Yuppers!
I would use that old hook in the house! And did you save some of the wallpaper to frame and bring the old past to the new !
Ahh I did not know this.
True. Old Worn shoes were the secret to getting them to ward off ill luck. Another thing hidden in walls were dead cats.
Or maybe it was just something people did to freak out whomever demoed the house in the future.
Idk why im so invested in watching a stranger restore an abandoned cabin... But here I am loving every second of it. 😂
Right! I'm so hooked it's almost like a new tv series or me to watch haha
@@andrewmoran5721 yes!!
I’m totally sucked in as well lol!
@@karenwhitney3244 same here
Me too!!!
Just a suggestion that would save you days worth of time. Lay down tarps as you tear out walls. Easy carry out and you clear as you destroy. Rather than destroy day then spend days trying to shovel out the pieces.
And work methodically, one wall at a time and haul out the debris at least after each wall.
I’m still wondering why would you tear down perfectly good plaster and lathe , just to put up sheet rock
@@Onteo1 As that plaster ages, the "lock" which is the plaster that squeezed through the gaps in the lathe, breaks off and leaves the plaster floating on the lathe. Its going to come down. And it is very expensive to replace (4-5 times the labor cost of drywall). And, there are very few people left that actually know how to lay on plaster.
@@scottsatterthwaite4073 yes this is true, but watching them remove it the plaster looked remarkably intact for the condition of the cabin.
@@Onteo1 It would surprise you. Think of all the hot-cold cycles it's been through for decades. Besides, getting down to the bare studs has a couple of advantages: it takes TONS of weight off the structure and it gives you a chance to find and fix structural issues without worrying about destroying fragile plaster walls. It also provides a clean slate for all new plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
The shoes authenticate the age of the home, that is cool you found them. It was an old tradition. I suggest the shoes go back in the wall, clearly they kept the home standing this long.
I agree, probably put some of my own back in the wall
FYI: That's not a cabin it's a small house. Believe it or not most people lived that way back in the day.
And if you want to know how old the house is my guess is 1910 by the look of the windows baseboards and outlet locations. If you find square nails from the 19th century I'm wrong but I don't think I am. 1910 is my guess.
And the thing you're examining at the 9:20 mark with the 1908 patent used to be a window shade before the shade fell off. Now it's just a spring loaded rod.
@@wsbill14224 there are square nails everywhere in there
I'm so happy to see you wearing PPE while doing demo and not taking the new truck out until it's fixed and safe to drive. This channel is a gem. Found you recently through the cabin videos.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed watching this
need some glasses tho bet your eyes were dry in the morning
I was disturbed at the absence of eye protection. My late father, an ophthalmologist, said he sent his five children through college and grad school solely on fees earned saving the eyesight of laborers who failed to wear $2 safety googles. Please protect your vision with polycarbonate and UV coated googles.
I am impressed how this cabin stood the test of time where you can bring it back to life. What a job to demo it. Looking good. Love watching the progress. Keep up the good work.
I agree recently discovered this channel and been following the progress on this cabin. I'm glad someone is taking the time to give this old house some love and attention. Love to know the history of the house who originally built it and why it was abandoned.
It’s a testament to how good the old growth timber this was made out of when you consider that part of the foundation caved in and it didn’t collapse.
I really like your videos about your abandoned cabin. Can't wait to see more. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks great to hear from you guys around the world

@@99ProjectsHi from France 🇨🇵
@@lb798 very cool!
Bonjour du Québec, Canada 😊
Moi aussi j' aime bien vos vidéos !
that horseshoe will provide you with a good age. I dug up 20 in my home years back and i got some excellent info from a horse expert (incl that 1 shoe that was medieval... yes, i live in Europe)
Age sure, but not related to the house. That horseahoe could be from the 1700's and the house only being built 200 years later.
Wow. Make sure you put the shoes back. Also, those shoes are pre-Victorian and sized for a kid, or very petite adult. A local library or historical society may be able to help in getting the age pinned down. No way 1990s. More like 1890s. Fantastic work!!
I know, 1990s was a joke.
@@99Projects oh..sorry.😁
@@99Projectsur content awesome
The coat hook is longer on top for a hat....back when men wore a hat :)
The ring that he showed at the very end looks like it was a steel crinoline ring (1850s to 1860s).
Clean it up and screw it onto something
The piano man, we need to save it!!!! Why is nobody talking about this. Maybe sell it to a restoration or antique store.
Back in them days people hid valuables inside pianos
Yeah! It pains me horribly to watch them not cover it at all when they break apart the place. 🥲
@@maeloganacharadrius6576 ikr😑
Mr. Piano, hopefully, had a very happy life and is glad to see his home coming back to life!
You should clean up that coat hook and put it somewhere in the house. If its brass would look really cool. Also amazed how good the wood looks underneath. Seems like most of it is in good shape yet. Would love to see you pressure wash the shake siding to see if its still salvageable. Thank you again and can't wait until next episode.
not a curtain rod but a pull down shade rod. I am loving the progress you are making. Demo is so fun to watch
Old brown shade...I remember!
Got a tarp to haul the lath to the burn barrel? Time saver! Jealous that you have a burn barrel! Had one in WNY!
It’s very easy and soothing to sit here and watch, but I appreciate the colossal amount of work that you’ve done!! Great job
The two pieces you didn't know what they were, are part of a cast iron grate from a coal furnace. Enjoy your video! Lee
The shoes in the wall are usually children’s shoes. In Europe you find them high up in the roof or eaves. It goes even further back than that. Often folk will find a cat skeleton under the main hearth or in the wall or roof. It was put there as a form of pre Christian protection for the house. Before THAT a “small” human sacrifice was placed there instead. I think I prefer the shoes as symbols. When we build our house I placed four new gold coloured dollar coins in a pair of baby shoes under the front door step before it was concreted. Old Scottish Habits die hard eh? And I’m too fond of my children….😮😊
I always put a tarp down on the floor when pushing lath and plaster from the other side of the wall. It makes the cleanup a lot easier.
I enjoy seeing sweat equity builds. Taki g it down to the frame. Congrats
It’s really awesome that you’re keeping consistent with this project. I’m looking forward to seeing how you finish this. Keep up the good work, you’re doing great!
the "rod" you found is from an old rollerblind that was used to pull down to cover the windows (Im that old).. great to see the progress, and cant wait to see the next edition.
I thought it amusing to imagine something once so common is now being seen probably for the first time by 20 somethings! That was better than the rotary phone!
This little cabin somewhat reminds me of the house I grew up in. It was a 1910 house, but it is a split level, and after many years of moving around and going our own ways, my mom moved in with a sister and my other sister moved into that house after Dad died. It was built for a man in a wheelchair. Everything is low - the counters, the cabinets, the light switches. My dad did some updates and stuff over the 30 years they lived there, but it was still, the ceilings were only 6'6", so still for a shorter person. I always joked with him, that that's why I'm so short. Like a goldfish, I was raised in a tiny house and grew up tiny 😂 my brother, who grew up elsewhere before I was born, is 6 ft. tall 😂 anyway, I like the charm of this little house ❤
I really hope you save that old piano.. i know its big and in the way and probably frustrating.. but even if it never works again.. cleaned up it will look really good when the place is finished.
Lot of work so far. I am very interseted in seeing how this Cabin turns out. Really enjoy the sped up parts with sounds...kind of soothing. I also enjoy how the videos are broken, into searching, dumps, fixing the truck and reno...sweet channel.
Thank you
Watching the metal detectorist reminded of the time i came across someone in the woods swinging a large sack full of scrap metal backwards and forwards ? Looking embarrassed they said " I've misplaced my metal detector ! "
A pair of hidden shoes also means that there are always two souls in the house looking after you !
43:18 Ha ha ha ha ha… “… and actually that subfloor and framing underneath is pretty rotted…”. While partner in crime plays dead piano on said floor….
Hope you restore the piano…
Another hard working video 197-s truck looks great you cannot beat the old built stuff. 👍👍👍
I’m all about making the cabin livable again, but what I am NOT about is destroying all the charm by removing the historic moldings and trim. That stuff should be salvaged, reinstalled, and recreated as much as possible to pay respect to the age of the home!
@billymasoner3735 I agree with you with the old charm. I know its his house but why make it a boring grey on grey look
Agreed
I thought the EXACT same thing. Should have been saved. Can't get that stuff anymore. Should have been stripped and re-varnished. Would have been pretty.
Id turn that old piano into a bar...ive seen it done and they turn out so cool. Great job on this cabin....my dream is just that, an old cabin in the woods!
Interesting pieces even if they have no $value. A look into the past. Very cool to see comments from around the world.
Great video, luv the metal detecting. Hope the rehab retains some historical character. That dump truck sure came in handy....
Great video.
Look for the spot where the outhouse was you fined all kinds of stuff,
Good luck and Stay Safe.
I hope you can raise the ceilings on the first floor. It would look awesome. 👌
That's a really cool truck! How wonderful that you have the skills, and knowledge to fix it, and make it safe. That cabin is a gem too! I loved the b4 and after shots. I'm looking forward to when all of the windows are uncovered. It's gonna be lovely!😊
I should pull the window covers off
@@99Projects I couldn't tell if they were all in tact, or not. I figured if any were broken, or wouldn't offer enough support against the elements, maybe that's why they were still covered. I love what you're doing. Thank You for sharing.
If you want to zero in on when the house was last inhabited and it has an address, you can go to the local library and check the city/county directories. I have traced the history of several old houses in that way. You can also check the county deed records for a history of when the property changed hands over the years. Censuses are on line for free up until 1950, so if you find names of occupants, you may be able to find them in the censuses and maybe even be able to contact some of their descendants if you want to compile some history on the house. Real estate tax records may also be a possibility. The city/county historical society may also be able to help.
Hope you're keeping all the old light fixtures, sinks etc. Those would be great re-additions to the house!
Oh the shoes and curtain rod were very cool. You could put those shoes in a shadow box to hang on the wall in the room they were found... keep some history inside. Hmm wonder why they put them in the wall. lol Love this series... excited to see more.
Thank you
Some put them in walls for Fertility blessing, they were almost always children's shoes
@@UpTheHarbour
Others put those shoes in walls to ward off witches, demons and ghosts..
Old wives tale if you ask me..🤷♂️
This channel just popped up in recommendations. I'm addicted to this cabin rebuild! Just subbed! I've sat here for two hours watching this and have got nothing done and I don't feel any guilt.. Anyone else? More cabin videos please, this is GREAT!
Hey I’m glad you enjoyed it, that’s awesome
Watching this video is oddly satisfying. I miss Demo. This little cabin is gonna be great I think. Hope your saving the ceramic you take out. You fetch good money for ceramic light fixtures
The round roller you found was from a window shade. I grew up in a house that was over a hundred years old. We had push but light switches. The house is long gone now.
We love how you mixed in the metal detecting. Next time you demo lath and plaster, fine someone that burns pellets and have them save the bags. Pellet bags work awesome for disposal of lath and plaster.
Really cool ,you and your buddy did quite the job on Demo. I did demo on houses in my younger years ,it's not easy so Hats off to you guys.
You guys did a LOT of work. It looks so good in there. Being a retired CDL trainer, I really appreciate how you made sure the safety and legal things on the truck were taken care of before going on the road. Great job! Stay safe and warm. God bless.
A lot of that ex-lath wood debris would have gone through a garden shredder and could then have been used as a mulch in wetter areas.
Good idea.
That's some hard work! I've been in one of those old houses from the late 1800s early 1900s and I can practically smell the must of the dust.
It looks like it’s in Pretty good shape . It’s going to be a beautiful house I think .❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice truck.. All the best from Colorado USA.. 👍😎🇺🇸
Some interesting finds...that is an old blind...it will roll back up when you pull it
I believe the rod to be a window blind roller. My Grandmother had some in her home. I could be incorrect. Great finds!
This is my favorite episode so far! A little of everything. Especially loved the metal detecting! I can't wait to see what you do with this existing layout.
Metal Detecting Fun, the thing that looks a bit like a rake ( Cast Iron ? ) was probably the Coal Grate for the fireplace, at a guess. That Ford Dump truck I remember them from the 70's, Cheers.
I was thinking pieces to an ol radiator. looks like there was a plug in one.
@@getfixd2498 That "plug" was on the end of a coal stove grate so you could rock it to get the clinkers into the ash bin below.
Ahh I see, yeah not having it in your hands makes it hard for a Good Touchy Feely and closer examination, but that makes sense, Cheers. @@getfixd2498
Yeah…I can’t believe they didn’t any old buttons, Indian heads, or V nickels. Keep at it and they will turn up. Always do at places like that.
Love the open beam with that old wood, sand them and finish them!
The shoes were meant to protect the house from evil spirits. I'm not a superstitious person but when you rebuild I would put them back just out of respect and tradition. Someone was protecting their family, and that's just love right there.
Like how you switched from demo, to truck repair, to metal detecting and looped it all. Very cool. Can't wait to see #4!
It hurt my heart that you didnt cover that incredible piano during the demo, its so magical.
I'm so loving watching this process, the fur baby is a huge bonus!!!
The broken metal pieces that had the forked appearance, could be the caste iron grated face of a Heater, or piece that sat in the fireplace to hold wood. Great channel!
Thank you
Cannot wait for the next instalment. Loving the journey....best wishes from South Yorkshire UK
Hello fellow South Yorks person. Its a great watch.
@@angiehaddington6462 oh 👋 where you at,I'm in Rotherham for my sins🤣
Love these videos and can hardly eait for the next one. I bet the old window trim would look great great, stripped and restored, but it likely has lead paint. Great video today. You are a man with a vision!
Really good to watch and follow your progress! Im pretty sure that it was occupied a lot later than the 1920/30's though looking at the modern light fittings and switches?
Kool set-up u have with old Ford L Series dump truck & backhoe to haul demolition stuff out good thing is ur saving money not have to worry renting a big garbage dumpster
Plus I’ll have the dump truck after for other work
Can't wait to see the results when this restoration is done. It is so interesting to watch the transformation.
So @99 Projects Myself and my Aunt want to know if your keeping and restoring the Piano or is it going to trash?
I’ve really enjoyed watching your process! I’d tuck a little downstairs bathroom under that staircase but that’s just me. Looking forward to the next one! ☮️
Try to find where the close line was , sometimes people would leave change in there pockets, and when the pants were put on the line to dry the change would fall out.
I’m really enjoying your videos from Colombia, South America. This is my favourite so far. The age of the house is evident given the lack of insulation. Brrrr.
You've drastically reduced that houses weight by taring down all that plaster. It will really help with the structure later on.
And I keep being amazing by all the good wood that built the skeleton under all the paint & wallpaper crap. Sending you good waves & some warmth from France. 💙
Awesome. Thanks it’s cool to hear from you guys around the world
This house has huge Red Dead Redemption vibes. I LOVE IT.
Just discovered your channel and projects today, subscribed to check out the rest of your vids! Can't wait to see the progress over the next for months! Keep it up!
Try toothpaste and some type of metal good cleaning solution solvent to soak them in., an to scrub them off with and rinse really good to dry. To take to A jeweler to have tested for what type of metal those actually are for sure to.
keep up the good work and don't stop pushing
Thank you
Looking good,
Thanks man
Awesome new video !!! Another great exemple of what hard work and dedication can accomplish !!!
That curtain rod is actually a roller shade. The springs always break like that.
Coming along. This reminded me of when we gutted the house I'm living in now. It was my grandmothers and she bought it 84 years ago and always told me it was an old wooden shack then, lol just a step above shack now, lol.
Excellent video, i enjoy the progress
Thank you
Absolutely love these videos! I love how you jump back and forth to different things you are working on! Keep up the good work!
Helps keep the video interesting. Thank yoh
You should incorporate some of those things you find into the project. Polish up that horse shoe and hang it lol amazing work 👍🏾
Thanks. I’m going to keep some of the stuff for sure
The metal detecting was very smart. Getting any metal out is good for the future. The coat hanger and square nail, etc. Cool as heck!!! ❤
Man you really knocked it out of the park on this video man! Finding those shoes and brass hanger was interesting, I’d polish the brass and use it again in the house. Sweet dump truck btw! That should really help out👍
It would be cool to reuse the hanger.
Thanks man, appreciate you
Great finds with metal detector. I loved the dump truck. Thank you for fixin the lights on truck.
I enjoy watching the progress of this cabin restoration. I hope you are able to retain the log rafters on the porch roof, so cool! I also hope you keep the piano! It’s been part of the cabin for this long! BTW, does the piano have a decal that says what brand it is? Love all the little discoveries! Very interesting!
Great video. Loving the cabin content. You made the right call with the dump rather than hauling it out little by little. With demo getting it out asap is the name of the game.
Why don’t you have the whole house completely torn down and rebuild a new cabin? Being very serious: Structurally it will be safer and you still own the property.
Cool Beans on the artifacts found metal detecting. Most definitely save all the bits and bobs so they can be placed on display in the cabin. I would, if at all possible and practical, try to save the flooring in the room with the rotten subfloor. Can’t wait to see what you do in the next stage with the cabin.
What part of NYS are you? I am in the fingerlakes area. Was just wondering is all. I would like the ivory off the piano....ok never mind, guess you aren't interested in answering this, whatever. Two weeks later, goodbye
That little cabin has always been my dream home. What a lucky find!
Bought an Abandoned Cozy House | Building Amazing House | My Life's Dream. Cozy Home (UA-cam) 🧡✌🏻
That truck is being held together by hopes, dreams, prayer and load bearing rust. Love this series btw!
Now you get to go along every board left standing and pull the nails. I've done it all. I'm glad it's you doing it and not me. haha! It's rewarding when your done however. Hope you replace that roof before you put the dry way up. First things first. I subscribed so I'll be watching haha!
The next time you are demolishing plaster like on the first floor ceiling use a long 2x4 and it will be faster and easier. The little nails that hold the laft you can go over the wood a thousand times and you will still not get them all. God bless you and your family my friend
My goodness how tall are those ceilings? Or rather, how short? Great new vid. Love the metal detecting and truck!
Lots of ideas for that old piano.. Just google around and see what you might find😊
You remind me so much of Andrew Camerata -determined!! 👍♥️🙏
watching all the way from Australia. currently 11:45pm 😂
Cool 😎
Love the project! Great finds metal detecting!
I was wanting to metal detect that house the first time you showed it to us. There has to be some cool treasures there.
Ok so im not the only one
Probably not. A long abandoned house and large area of land with other homes nearby, Others must have surely cleaned it out of goodies by now.
"this is how you blow off snow" continues blowing truck away lol
I'd put those shoes, as is, in a shadow box on the wall as a conversation piece.
I'd encase them in epoxy and display them somewhere.
I don't know how I got to your Chanel but I am hooked already!
Awesome!
