Man, you've got nothing to apologize for. That's life. We appreciate you posting new content when you can.
Its not about about us getting a vidio, its about you getting the work done before the weather turns bad, and pertecting the home.
Welcome back, Kaleb! You have an enormous job with your house, on top of a real life, so take the time you need. I'm so excited about the color! Your beautiful house is going to glow! I picked very similar colors for the trim on my 1907 red brick Four Square. I'm so impressed with your skills and your ability to learn skills, great job!
Don't worry about the gap! You have to do what's best for you. We get to see really nice impressions of Mexico City because of it!
As always the progress you made for the house is beautiful!
You have one of the best channels on UA-cam, not only because of your project and your dedication to it, but because of your and Kim's personalities. (And I'm sure because of your families too.)
Thank you for sharing everything with us.
This!
For anyone who is going to use linseed oil. Buy the expensive stuff. The cheaper it is, the more impurities from the production it contains and that is what will mold. There's not if it will mold, it's just how soon. This is extra important when you "service" the paint with just oil when it has faded. What happens is that the linseed oil "breaks" and the pigments gets exposed. It's an easy fix to save you a lot of job so don't postpone it. The clearer the oil is, the better it is, quality costs and that's not the time so save money.
good to know ! if I have outdoor furniture and linseed it how often should it be done in humid kansas ?
@@ah5721 That depends on what type of wood it is. But I look at the color and how the wood feels. If it's starting to look sad and feels dry it's time to treat the wood. If the wood has begun to crack you should consult with your local paint shop, they can advise you about thinning out the oil to make it penetrate and perhaps have some effect on the cracks. I have been taught not to use sandpaper, but if you do it don't use a sanding machine. Sand by hand in the direction of the fibers.

Thanks for including the clips from Mexico City! I had no idea it had such an old world feel!
Welcome back 😊 Looking forward to more restorations. The paint colors are beautiful 🎉❤
Wiee! Swedish linoljefärg! As a Swede that made me smile a little bit extra from this video 😀🇸🇪 So happy that you now are at at stage where you can put paint back and not just strip the old one of 🙂 I have been following you since very beginning.
Det här! (This! in Swedish 😊)
I was gonna write how proud I was seeing the word linoljefärg on one of the cans 😄
Also a follower since the beginning 👍
So happy to see you're back! Don't stress over not doing videos for a while, we all understand you have responsibilities outside of the house. The house is looking great!
You're back, welcome, you've been missed. The corbels look really nice, another fine job Kaleb. Hi to Kim, and the fur babies.
Kaleb, if you lay down a coat of white linseed before the color coats, the topcoats will show their colors more strongly.
Good to hear from you again, Kaleb. Don’t worry if you can’t always get a video out, we’ll still be here. New colours are looking great!
He is still alive 🎉
always a joy to see a historical caregiver like yourself ! restoring the beautiful delish homes of the past!
welcome back don't worry l'm here for the whole ride 😁
Hi Kaleb, good to see you on here. So there's this film from the mid 1980's called "Batteries Not Included." It was one of my favorite films for years, it still has a special place in my heart. It's hard to explain because it's far from being one thing. It's definitely a science fiction. There are several sub-plots but the unifying theme is all these people are living in a late 19th century building that a big construction company is trying to demolish. Without giving too much away, it's something that if you haven't watched, I think you should. Let me put it another way: If I hadn't watched "Batteries Not Included" when I was 8, I doubt I would be as fascinated with the history and preservation of old things. Cheers! Evan
Love the colours you have chosen, well done!
Don't stress about getting videos out, we'll be here when you have time.
You OWE US NOTHING!!!! The Estate is coming along SWIMMINGLY!!!! The Colors are INCREDIBLE and takes me back to when Homes of this type were well taken care of, and had similar colors. Modern homes AIN'T GOT NOTHIN on these GORGEOUS ESTATES!!!!
These sorts of houses are probably better cared for now than at any tome in the past 60 years!
@@dcan911 Really?! Tune into "Brothers of Decay" or ANY of those Shows, and there are ALOT, then get back to me!!!!
Liking the paint colors a lot more than I thought from the sketch's. Glad you got to do the touristy thing a couple days. No need to appologize on video timing you keep us informed on what is going on while we may love the house and the restoration we also care about you and Kim. We appreciate you sharing a little bit of your lives with us you are like extended family friends. I so hope that between you and the historic carpenters you can get the Mansard closed in and weather tight this fall. It will make things so much warmer this winter.
Great to see you back, and busy! The paintwork looks like it's going to be very exciting.
I have to agree with you, Mexico City was/is stunning on so many levels, from the Mayan/Aztec underlay, and on to the succeding generations of Spanish and Mexican styles. All jumbled together, and bits of other styles creeping in and through. Wonderful food, wonderful people, great museums, universities and markets. And flowers everywhere. Wow just wow, and I was only there for a couple of weeks, I would love to visit again someday.
Mexico City is perhaps the most interesting city on the face of the planet. Two alien civilizations clashed 500 years ago and they still havent fully mixed and diluted.
Happy to see you're back again!
Hope you had a good time in Mexico.
I am always looking forward to your updates
and the progress you are making on the restoration.
It was a nice little surprise to see you had chosen a
paint with a connection to Sweden which is my country!
Love to you and Kim!!!🧡💙❤💚💛💜🇸🇪
Thank you for the images of the stunning architecture in Mexico City! I had NO idea!!
Wow....no apologies needed....you have a job to do and we appreciate any videos that you put out...always a joy to see the updates on the house!! The picture you put up of what you want the roof to look like is absolutely amazing and beautiful....hopefully it will come to fruition!! You really do wonderful work!
I love the paint colors, it's really going to pop and help make the crown shine!
Wow, i did not expect Swedish paint here! Fantastic! 😃
With all the old paint and crud off the cornice and brackets the detailing is remarkable
Welcome back! The colors are beautiful. Thanks for the mini-tour of Mexico City!🌸
So much appreciate your busy schedule and being able to come back to your UA-cam friends! I absolutely love the colors you’ve chosen, I am sure this house will be spectacular! So enjoyed your pictures from your trip, beautiful place! 😅thank you for sharing with us!!
dont worry about us, Kaleb. did we almost die without videos? of course, yes. But you got to see beautiful buildings and thats why we all nerds are here
Oh…. I’m so excited you’re back.. Hope the trip was uneventful….
So glad that you're back home safe. Your painting is fantastic. It will look wonderful when you finish. I love that you take the time to make sure that open areas remain open. Can't wait for more videos and more Kim. Really have missed her. I hope she does more with her channel now that she's finished this job.
Wow! Never realized just how beautiful it is down in Mexico 🇲🇽. Such gorgeous architecture, I'll bet you had a blast seeing those sights! Glad to see you back, in good ole Missouri. I recently started a new job at a wood cabinet plant, so I can truly appreciate the woodworking that you do so well. Love the corbels!
I love the colors. Well done
I'm so happy to see you again. Absolutely love following your work. As always, sending warm and sunny greetings from the Gold Coast Australia.
Can't wait to see the entire color scheme come together.
I love how you do your homework. I’m sure you made the right choice on the paint. Glad you got to do some sightseeing while working. Welcome home.
I believe they are already advertising this game show. Welcome home !
So glad you made it home safe and sound. Please don't apologize for lack of videos. Love the colours of the house Kaleb. Beautiful! Thank you for the pics of Mexico. Stunning. Have a great week. 😊
I'm watching you work on those corbels and all I can think is yep that guy's an artist. It shows in the technique, patience, and attention to detail. The old girl is going to look awesome once you're done with her face. That house is lucky to have found you. Glad to have you back.
You are a better man than I.....small projects can bog me down!!!
DUDE.... glad you're back! Looking forward to this!
Looking forward to this. I love your content and thank you so much for sharing it.
See you have nice Swedish linseed oil paint😊
Represent!
Here in Sweden the proffessional painters that work with linsseed oil paints seem to profess two different schools.
One that says that 1st primer should be 30% paint and 70% solvent gum turpentine and then 2nd layer of primer 60% paint and 40% gum turpentine.
The other school says 1st primer 50/50 and 2nd 70% paint and 30% gum turpentine.
I do it also with two coats of primer but I dont really care to measure it that meticulously but somewhere in the ballpark.
Also many proffessionals that do work with it says gum turpentine should be the solvent but I use white spirit because it solves linseedoil paint and it seems to dry the same, and some that has mor experience than me says it is okay to use whit spirit.
I dont really know because I do not have suffucient experience to say whats what so I just tell you here what most pros says here in Sweden. And it is a quite common paint here. Lots and lots of houses and furniture is painted with boiled linseed oil paint here.
Dont know the prices in the US but here it costs almost like modern paints, mabye a coupleof dollars more depending on where it is purchased.
Hey Kaleb, I'm glad you are back
No apologies needed. We will be waiting to watch the transformation. I can’t believe you are already painting the trim. Looks great. Got my bell icon on!
No apology your life is yours I’m glad to see you again and follow your amazing dreams and talents
Always waiting to see what's next
The COLORS!! And even Cinderella's coach.
*Kaleb, please never apologise... you are allowed to have your own private life and that takes priority... as you do need down time, whilst restoring your home. 🙂 Plus you also have to work around the weather, and let's face it... the weather around the world is going off the radar these days. 🙂 PS: thanks for showing us parts of Mexica too. 🙂 Waves to Kim too 🙂.nz*
You are forgiven (tho you've done nothing that requires forgiveness) as your clips from Mexico City are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Your painting is beautiful too!!👍👍👏
So pleased you are back. Can't wait for more videos. Love the paint colors you have chosen.
Great happy to
See you back.
Say hello to
Your wife. More
Happy days to
Come😊
Yay! You're back. Looking forward to see the outside getting repaired. Hope you and Kim are well❤
I like your work. And I'm happy to wait for the next video for a few weeks knowing you're not a prisoner of your passion for your beautiful house and your great work.
I am so happy to see that you are taking your time to restore that beautiful older home. That has always been a dream of mine.
Glad your trip to Mexico went well and you are back safe. Be interesting to see how the paint holds up. Can’t wait to see more work on the mansard roof.
So glad you’re back! We missed you.
The green colors are stunning! My grandpa was a professional house painter in the 30s-60s. He swore by linseed oil paints.
Thanks for the pictures from Mexico City. The Cathedral is beautiful.
God bless you and Kim
Post when you can we can wait we love you content ❤
Wow I'm so glad that you're back 🤩🎉
Well, you answered my question I was gonna ask about the primer on the corbels.
I do love the 2 different shades of green. Once it’s all done it’s gonna look amazing.
I understand about no video for 2 weeks. You gotta do what you gotta do. Yes, you were missed but its wonderful to have you back.
The trip to Mexico n seeing all the photos that I had no idea it has so much articultyral designs. It all was beautiful.
♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟
I love that green color! It has been awhile since I have watched any of your videos. No apologies needed from you about a lack of videos. Your personal life is the most important thing to concentrate on. See you in your next video. Love to you, Kim and of course your fur babies
Please don't feel you need to explain yourself to us. DO what you need to do, when you need to do it. The little ease on the finished paint work reallt whets the appetite for what is to come. Thanks for sharing, Caleb.
hope the trip was okay, glad you are back and starting work back on the house again.
Watching you begin priming and painting was worth the wait! Please don't apologize. Things take as long as they take, whether it's going on a road trip to add to your collection or assisting your wifey with what she is in the middle of.
So long as there a video to watch, IT WILL BE WATCHED WITH JOY🥰🥰🤗🤗😘😘
Please stop apologizing. We all understand. The trim on your house is very pretty and it is smart to use linseed oil paint. I know someone that used linseed oil on their wood which stayed beautiful for a long time so it must be the same for the paint. 👋👋👋👋
Welcome back looking forward to more updates !!
Love the fresh work, Love the time lapse music. Awesome my guy.
I'm so glad you chose the linseed paint! (Can even see a Swedish one right there), it makes the difference so that it looks accurate not plastic disney interperation.
I love your choice of colors . Thank you for sharing some pix of your trip to Mexico!
Thank you for all the beautiful pictures from Mexico. Your house project is a labor of love. You are doing wonderful. 😊😊
Interesting about the mildew growth. I didn't realize that was the reason for the lead. We saw some growth over on 1864 Restoration House's channel when they made their own linseed-oil based paint. Since they made it as pure as possible it doesn't have anything to prevent growth and their test patch is covered in mildew now after a fairly short time.
They also have a ton of humidity in S. Carolina!
Love the colors and watching every episode. Happy to wait for your next one. You’re the best❤️
The paint looks awesome! Glad your back! Nice pics of the architecture in Mexico. See you soon. Hugs❤
I like your approach to the restoration. Well thought out,
Really love the paint colors, they are very cheery
Glad you're back❤
Mexican City is beautiful. For some reason in my mind i imagined it would all be ancient ruined pyramids, and adobe buildings with the red clay tile roofs.
All of these sentiments already shared are exactly what I wanted to say! So ditto several times over! Kaleb, you and Kim are fun to follow and I love your talents and commitment!
Yeah, You are back! I love the paint color.
Excited to watch another video by you. Things are coming along nicely.
It would look good with black inside the side design cutouts on the corbels :)) It would make the side design pop more.
Thank you for sharing Mexico pics! Be safe on that lift!!!!
LOVE THE GREENS!!!💚💚💚
The house looks beautiful! Your hard work shows.
Glad you got some painting done and the buildings look so beautiful done in Mexico City. Enjoy the cooler weather 👍
Great video. The trim work is going to be beautiful.
You came here to Mexico City and I wasn't aware!!!!! If you ever come back I can show you around and we can have a great time. I'll give you the rock star treatment you deserve!
Might come back in January
Great to see you back in action. I know your videos are a record of what you are doing/using on the house, but maybe you could keep a house journal of all the products/materials you have used all in one place for quick reference so future owners down the line won't have to piece together information about the grand old lady like you are having to do. The architecture of Mexico City is amazing!
Doesn't the linseed oil help with the wood too?
Thanks for the video and the picture of Mexico City. I've only been to Juarez, Mexico. Very pretty city also. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹
Linoljefärg! That is exactly the paint ( and from the same company) we are using for the renovation of our original 1950s kitchen. Our kitchen will be painted in a soft green colour and with white details. / Caroline in Stockholm, Sweden
Wow! The Linseed paint is something I never knew. Thank you for sharing when you can, love to watch!❤
Never realized that you were gone.
A lot of UA-camrs I subscribe to go a month or more between videos.
It’s going to look great! And thank you for the beautiful photos of Mexico City
Welcome back. We missed you!
Hope you won some money for your house in the show 🤞🏻 welcome back!
Welcome back!!
Your exterior color choices are gorgeous Kaleb!! I have said that before when you showed the design, but seeing it in “person” really shows how beautiful the colors are!
Welcome back wow the paint looks so nice can’t wait to see more of it beautiful pictures of your trip glade you was able to explore a bit
Yay!!! I’ve missed you & the old gem!! ♥️
You don’t need to justify gaps in your video output. In fact, having to wait a little extra time between videos has made me appreciate this one. The painting of those corbels is coming along nicely. Your lines are super crisp and the extra care you took in the painting is quite obvious. Lovely colors you’ve chosen. Thanks so much for all you do!
