![We bought and RENOVATED this Creepy, Hoarder Cottage!! [Renovation COMPLETE BEFORE & AFTER]](/img/n.gif)
My wife and I did some research on an old stone house that I was rebuilding and we found the local library in the county had a Historical Society that provided us with a great starting place. Tax records at your county office building will also provide some interesting information. In our case, the home was built in 1792 which came with a ton of history. It was located on an old dirt road that was rarely used and part of what was known in the early 1800's as the Newburg Turnpike in northeastern PA and at one point was used as a travelers Inn.
There is a local historical museum in town that we need to check out. They have very limited hours, but we are hoping they might have some information. We would love to get in touch with the family that last lived there and get some pictures. Your stone house sounds so cool. The stories it could tell. Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful house you have found. Pity about the less than sound 1980 extension. But it gives you a fabulous opportunity to put your own mark on the replacement! I look forward to traveling along on the journey as you expand the possibilities of your beautiful home.❤
Thank you so much for watching! We completely agree, such a shame it was left to decay, but at the same time a great opportunity for us to make it our own.
Okay, you’ve convinced me, I’m subscribing, holy cow! Firstly, you’ve bought yourselves a really cool place, I mean, how often can you find a place like this? You really can’t cheap out on additions to such a solid space like this, I mean, it’s a tank!
Thanks, we think it's pretty cool too! It's definitely going to take time, we want to make sure we can afford to do it right. It's amazing how solid the original structure is. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
So glad your video popped up on my feed. I love old homes and you two have a gem right there. Very nice to meet you & I look forward to more videos. On top of all that it's in NC which is one of my favorite states. Lived in Candler, Hendersonville & Mt Airy back in the 60's & 70's and I just loved the mtns and the spring water was awesome to drink. Have a Great Day!
Thank you for watching! We love North Carolina, it is the best place we've ever lived. You lived in some beautiful areas! We think it is a gem too, and are excited about everything that is to come. Have a great day as well!
Love the original log house &/ property! Lots of work ahead but one day it will be a fabulous home for you. ❤
Lots of work ahead for sure! Especially keeping the original logs, but also making it our own. But it will be a wonderful journey. Thank you for watching!
The original house looks pretty spacious and in great shape. I would just do away with that addition. The property is beautiful!!! I have an old farmhouse in texas its been a work in progress for 12 years it just takes time and money and patience. I love it though its a solid old girl!!!they dont build things like that anymore. God bless you on the journey looks like you found a diamond in the rough needing some love but oh what a treasure!!! Love from texas❤
Thank you for the encouragement! I bet your home is stunning, older properties are so unique. And you’re exactly right, the sturdiest part of our house is the part that was built 120+ years ago. Thank you for watching!
I just found your channel today and looking forward to following you. I like your farm and house it will be great when you get it like you want it. The Pecan wood is excellent for barbecue especially Chicken it has a mild flavor, but not too bitter like some others and by the way I like your brand of tractors and vehicles
I'm fond of green paint, and for some reason I'm a sucker for the General. We've had to take down some pecan trees that were randomly planted by squirrels, and we used it to smoke meat and it's great. Thanks for watching!
At least with having to replace the addition you will be able to build it back to look or match better to the log home. It is a beautiful house waiting to become a home with love and care. Good luck.
We completely agree, we can't wait to make it our own. Thank you for watching!!
If you'll plant pecan trees closer together, they'll hold each other up. I know that because I was raised in TX. Once you get done with the house repairs, you can look up the pecan trees. 😊
That is great information, we're thinking of planting pecan trees lining both sides of the driveway. We will have to look into how close they should be. Thanks for watching!
Great video. You got this! I subscribed.
Thank you for watching and subscribing!!
Hey! Yall came across my UA-cam feed and I am thrilled! Looking forward to following y'all's journey! I am on a house journey too but in a shed to house ... Living in it although its far from complete and pretty hard living conditions but we will get there! Im in my 60s so this is my retirement home. Ha that sounds weird it sounds like a nursing home. I live in my youngest son and daughter in love's backyard
Shed to house conversions are really cool, we've considered that for future tiny homes on our property. Glad you found us!! Thanks for watching!
The expression “don’t judge a book by its cover” comes to mind. Love the log cabin elements but boy oh boy you do have a job on your hands beyond that front door! I don’t wonder your wife was skittish in there! The great room has real potential and is just lovely with the two fireplaces. I’ll bet it’ll look fantastic decorated for Christmas.
It took a little while to not be skittish! But we're excited about the job ahead. Thank you for watching!!
A hidden gem! So much potential there. Glad I found your channel!
Glad you found us! We can't believe it sat on the market for 10 years, but now it's ours. Thank you for watching!!
That tipped over tree could be some good firewood.
Well we've already cut some of it up and split it, and it burns great! We need to get the rest of it out of there and get that side yard cleaned up. Thanks for watching!
A BEAUTIFUL HOME
Thank you, we think so too. Thank you for watching!
love the old cupboards in the kitchen, they look like they are salvageable, hope you don't destroy them, kitchen being the original should be easier to restore/renovate;
hope you keep some of the originals; paint always fixes an awful colour
good idea to remove the back of the house & start that again or just put the porch back on it
lovely property you have bought yourselves
thanx for sharing
We haven't figured out all of our plans for the house yet, but we definitely want to keep as much of the charm as we can. Thanks for watching!
Looking forward tosee your progress . It looks beautiful so much potential.
Thank you, it will take time and lots of work, but definitely worth it. Thanks for watching!
It will be gorgeous when done
We hope so! Thank you for watching!
I just happened upon your channel as we drove through Stovall today on the way to Virginia (we live in Durham). There is a small church in Stovall that is for sale and the back story mentioned wealthy New Yorkers that had built a near by hunting cabin. Could this be connected? Too cool. Best of luck on your journey!
That’s very cool! We’ll have to look more into that, we have very minimal information about the origin of the house, so that is one of the only theories we’ve heard so far. Thank you for sharing!!
Go to the company that closed your purchase.
Ask them if you can sit for a bit to read your abstract. They may send you to an abstract company.
Then, take your camera and learn the complete history of the property.
I worked at a closing company and an “abstract” is all documents pertaining to your property, from the first purchase.
Ours actually went back to before statehood (Oklahoma). Every deed, with the owners names, will be in there. This may not pertain to every state, but I have done this with every property I’ve owned.
We had never heard of doing that before, that is a great idea! When you say closing company, do you mean closing attorney, or someone else? We will definitely have to look into that. Thank you for watching!
Wow that is going to be hard work but it's going to all look amazing when Complete xx
Definitely lots of hard work ahead, but we're excited about it. Thank you for watching!
At ease, madamme. Your voice broke a little. Get familiar with that camera. I love homesteading people. I've got 15 hectares here. I used 20 percent on farming and grazing. I hope yer the best. Just subscribed. Watching from Christmas Island.
Definitely still getting used to it, being in front of the camera is new for me! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Love your house. A long journey ahead but what a beautiful home you will have. If possible take the addition off the back of the house now that you are living in the house.
Thank you for watching! Definitely a long journey ahead, but we're excited about it. We had a conversation with a builder this week, and he also recommended we tear down the addition as soon as possible. So even though that wasn't on our short list, I guess it is now!
Great. Can’t wait to see how it looks.
Exciting projects ahead. Looking forward to you sharing your journey. I see you have acres of solar energy to tap into. Yours?
Thank you, we're excited to share more of the journey! The solar panels are not ours, just right next to our property. Thanks for watching!
It needs a lot of work but doable. U guys can do it. Check and see if it has insillation. Then drywall.
If by insulation you mean a healthy layer of raccoon poop in the attic, then we got that covered! 😆 thanks for watching!
Check with your County Assessors Office, for the history of the house.
That's a great idea. So far we haven't had a lot of luck with the government employees 😂 thanks for watching!
Nice place, Tobaccoville, NC
Thanks for watching! Appreciate hearing from a fellow North Carolinian.
Check the census bureau and all ownerships of the property
That's a good idea. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely jess twin

New to you're channel hi from Colorado Springs 😀
Hello! Thanks for watching 😊
Oh my God just show inside

Tax records are public. Good place to start.
Thanks for watching! Yes, our county has all the tax records online and it would be theoretically simple to get that information, but unfortunately it is proving to be difficult that way. We're hoping we can get information from people who lived in the area a long time and connect with the family of the former residents.
Go to your local city records Dept to get answers
We tried to go there in person, and the response was "don't you have a computer?" 😂 We plan to continue down that path, but are also hoping some locals might be able to share some information with us. Thanks for watching!
What part of nc are you in? Im in smokies
Oxford, NC! An hour north of Raleigh. Thanks for watching!
Hey you are not living in a safe environment with the water damage you more likely have black mold and the critters poop upstairs isn’t healthy. I wouldn’t be staying in the house till that back in is off and the upstairs cleaned up. You need mold experts to assess the back of the home. Stay healthy and do it right.
Appreciate the concern, we intend to address those things very soon! Thanks for watching!
When making a video don't keep worrying with your hair take care of that issue before starting it is very distracting , love the house
I'm definitely still getting the hang of being in front of a camera, will try to be more cognizant of the hair touching 😅 thank you for watching!
Tax records, real estate transfer records, homesteaders records, go to courthouse, local historical society, seek older area people who have been in area a while.
Study building style to date home.
Thanks for those suggestions. We're going to try a variety of options for sure. Thanks for watching!
