    Nothing says Southern like a Magnolia tree! So pretty! I enjoy watching you both lovingly restore this deserving gem of a house.

    Impresive job over a few days!! I have a little fear of sheet metal. Learned not to play with it as a child. The hard way, of course. So i did cringe some, well a lot.🤣 Have a great holiday weekend. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

    The things I didn’t know you could DIY…though you have way more professional knowledge, experience and expertise than I’ve ever had in subjects like this. It’s always cool learning things you see but don’t understand the reason, like the purpose for the cross breaks. It’s great to see important features come into this house with cost-cutting efficiency.
    And I love that sitting room. It’s so warm and cozy and yesteryear-ly.

    Back in the early 60s, I helped my father put in ducts for a new furnace he was installing (formerly a pot oil burner). Your work really takes me back to those days, long ago, when my dad was fixing up the old 1917 bungalow he inherited by buying his half-brother out of his share for $1,270!!

    What beautiful blooms on your magnolia! It is nice to see your yard filling in so quickly after removing the garden beds. It is so great (and impressive) that you know how to make these ducts! Wishing you both a fantastic Memorial Day weekend!

    Ooh, I loved this episode! My husband is a carpenter so I have picked up a bit of knowledge from him, but I've never actually seen anyone do tinners work. I always wondered why there was an "x" mark in duct work. Thank you for showing how to do this. 😊

    Great episode, it will be interesting to see how you fit in the ducts as they go to the upper floor. In my own 1913 home we had to duplicate all the system in an upstairs closet and run all the ductwork through the attic to each of the four rooms, I insisted that each room also had both a supply grill as well as return grill all placed in the ceilings, this was so even with the doors closed air will still circulate correctly and warm or cool as needed. This has worked out well but has needed a few tweaks for getting the correct air movement with the decorative grills I had chosen.

    • @1834RestorationHouse
      @1834RestorationHouse  8 місяців тому

      Thank you for sharing that. We are also planning the individual supply/return approach. Because of the airflow the system will put out, we'll have to double up on registers in each room, so we don't build static pressure. I'm glad it's working well for you!

    It just amazes me the knowledge you have for just about anything. I’m so impressed with you n Jeannie making your own air ducts.
    God bless my husband he wasn’t much on mechanical. It just never interest him. He did know how to change a tire though LOL. He loved sports especially soccer (he played for 28 yrs.) n he loved his music
    his oldies but goodies. I had to show him how to hold a hammer properly LoL.
    I sure miss him a lot. He was a great guy n everyone really loved him.
    By the way. How did Jeannie’s sauerkraut come out? Did she finally taste it n like it? I bet she’s a good cook n lives to bake. Well, I’ve said enough. Always enjoy n live watching the two of you. God bless you both. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🥰

      Being a great guy more than makes up for the lack of skills. :-)
      The sauerkraut turned out great, but Jeanie doesn't like the taste. We may try again with extra flavorings. She is an excellent baker and cook! 💖💖

    My husband was a welder and a metal worker for several years during the first part of our marriage. Yes, he came home with cuts on his hands(not too deep). He did end up changing jobs at one point. Blessings.
