    I'd love to know what this nice house looked like in it's original days. The 50s renovations are also nice, especially all the knotty pine woodwork.
    I've a good feeling painting over the woodwork wasn't necessary and shouldn't have been done. The painted white floors were hideous, I'd be sanding and refinishing those.
    This house really didn't have to go, it appears to be at the edge of the new development and on a main road.
    Thanks for the tour and the fine livechat Greg!
    Stayin tuned! 👍🤠
    Notes:
    8:00 Needs live parakeets to make it complete.
    10:14 Someone's creativity at work in the 50s renovations, I like it.
    13:03 Spice racks inside the cabinet doors, great idea.
    14:20 I belive this is where the refrigerator was meant to be and was originally, the cutout was to enable the refrigerator to be completely up against the wall to save a little more space and explains the recepticle. The black refrigerator to the right would be where a small eat in kitchen table would go, hence the chandelier in front of that refrigerator.
    23:28 My most favorite "room" in the whole house, after all is done on a long day, sit and relax with quite a few cold ones, a perfect perch for when an unwelcome guest comes up the walk. King of the hill so to speak.
    23:55 Pause, zoom and notice the name on the construction site office, it'd be good for a chuckle when viewed in a phone book.
    31:05 This bathroom looks more like a 70s renovation, I don't care much for it, it needs to be simplified. Imagine a clawfoot tub, pedestal sink and one of those toilets with the up high tank with the pull chain handle.

    This was an awesome place! Love all of the pine in this house! Thanks for the shout out brother! The wallpaper in one of the rooms did remind me of The Price Is Right, I was thinking that before you mentioned it 😂. The bathroom was one of the most unique I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame that somebody’s gonna tear this house down. Awesome explore as always!

    Missed this one! Cool old place. Had the pleasure (?) of renovating a house built in 1912 several years ago. It was pretty hacked up when we bought it, but we did our best to keep the character of the place. Wasn't as big or as fancy as this place but had a lot of similarities on a smaller scale. The stair case was a lot the same and the trim work. This place must have been stunning in its prime. Thanks for a great explore!

      Hey Michelle!! I'm glad you saw the replay though.. It is a great old place eh?? The inside is quite different than how outside's impressive might give. So how did your project turn out? Which characters of your place were you protective of the most??? Sounds like it was a great project, I'm sure its a great home!! thank you so much for watching this one, I hope you let me know more about your project!

      @@UncappedFilms I was happy with how it turned out overall but a little disappointed that some of it couldn’t be turned back to the original state! The most frustrating thing was the trim work. The original was still there but it had been painted and for some reason someone had sprayed what looked like popcorn ceiling on the plaster walls and hadn’t covered the baseboards and door frames so it was a big mess. I scraped the walls by hand and got it back to pretty decent condition for the original plaster and lath. I used a heat gun to try and get the trim back to the original wood color but there were so many layers of paint. In the end I got most of the bumpy stuff off, sanded it down and painted it white. We kept the original staircase. It looked a lot like this one with the underside exposed. They did some really nice framework with cornices that was still in pretty good condition other than being painted. I painted the treads dark brown and then cleaned up the chipped paint and redid the banister and risers in white. The kitchen was the biggest challenge. Originally, I think it was galley style but at some point someone enclosed the back porch to make it bigger. The cellar would have originally been a walk out I think. The stairs were pretty treacherous so we wanted to bring the laundry upstairs, too. We ended up hiring a local contractor that had experience with older houses and it ended up being a total gut. The original cabinetry was gone so we had to get new but we tried to get more of the shaker styled wood that I hoped would fit the style a little better. We added some corner windows and put the sink there and it turned out really nice but it was clearly a modern renovation. We divided up an enormous closet and did a stackable washer and dryer and also added some storage above the closets. The whole place had 10 foot ceilings so we ended up going up for storage. The guys were able to mimic the paneling on the stairs and it turned out really nice. We did the bathroom ourselves and added a linen closet, but again, it wasn’t as good of a match for the original house cuz we really just had a shell. We redid all the electric and plumbing. New roof and furnace. Tore off a weird little lean to shed they added to the back and poured a nice kidney shaped patio. I kept and refinished all the vent registers and door knobs and most of the interior doors. The windows were huge and there was tons of natural light but we did have to replace them because they were in bad shape. By far the worst thing was when the crew found an open cistern full of water under the kitchen floor. Had to pump it out and fill it and seal it with concrete. And that’s why you always plan an extra 20% into your budget! lol! I loved the house but we just outgrew it. It was a little insane trying to get it fixed but it turned out well in the end! Thanks for asking about it!

    HOLY MOLY!! What an amazing tour🤩 Absolutely LOVED that staircase and all of the little built-in nooks and crannies throughout the home. The pine was beautiful in the kitchen.
    All of that original trim and hardware throughout the home was fabulous 😻
    The spiderwebs at the top of the basement stairs looked to be as old as the home😂
    I miss the live premieres darn it😢 Only temporary tho.
    You did such a great job showing the home and not getting us lost along the way 😊
    Keep up the great work! 🤘🦅

      Those spiderwebs looked like i would have been caught in them if I had tried to walk thru them lol.. I hope you make a premiere again soon!! and I tried not to get lost myself, so I'm glad the viewers didnt!!!

    I loved everything about this one. When I first saw it from the outside, I just loved the whole style and look of it. The flat I rent, was built in the 50s, and my kitchen bench is a very similar star patterned style. I just love it. I noticed in the basement, I think it was in there, you pointed out the cereal boxes, as part of the ceiling, but what I noticed, a bit to the left, there was a Rinso one. I remember my mother using that when I was a kid, right through to the mid 70's. It was a laundry powder to wash your clothes. Here in New Zealand, anyway. They replaced the Rinso with Surf.
    A auesyion- Before they tear the place down, do they go through and recycle all the old hardware? Shame if they don't. Some of the old wallpaper was familiar, and also the flower power wallpaper. I absolutely loved the entry way. The white staircase and the wallpaper looks great.
    Thank you for this vid. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    • @UncappedFilms
      @UncappedFilms  2 місяці тому +1

      Hey Suzanne!! I'm so happy to hear you loved this one!! It was a really neat place to look. The outside gave me a different impression of what to expect inside vs what I actually saw. It definitely has that 'classic' look doesn't it? That 'rinso' box was a good catch, I didn't notice that, but I'm glad you did. I bet most of those boxes are from the 70's when it was built. I loved the staircase/entry way as well, the wallpaper really tied it together I thought.. AS for your question, sometimes they will take things of value for re-use, but 90% of the time, it usually just ends up in a bin aside from the large items they will recycle. A shame isn't it?

    Having been to this house myself, it was really interesting watching a video of it. Some things have vanished from when you went, but it clearly was a lovely home back in the day and I still think it could be a lovely home with renovate it. I didn’t know the kitchen cupboards were pine and although I don’t like them, I think they should stay. Maybe they could make this house into a little museum or something.
