I love that kind of thing too! On American Viscountess recently, she was talking about the restoration of a 500-year-old façade with the man who has been doing it for the past several years, and you could see the interior craftsmanship in the walls, which were built by people in the Elizabethan Era! I would find it INCREDIBLY satisfying to work on that kind of thing, and I'm sure would be just as driven to do it properly.
@@celticlass8573 I just finished watching that episode too. It was amazing what quality of craftsmanship the builders of the past were capable of doing with hand tools and hard work. One would think that with all the innovations we have available to us today, we wouldn't be doing such shoddy work! Lol
Hey, Kaleb. I just wanted to say that when it comes time to replace the garage door, while it will be your natural inclination to do it yourself (99% of it you could), the tension spring that makes a 130 lb. door feel like it’s nothing when raised can be extremely dangerous to wind up and you should definitely hire a professional to do that. The limestone work is looking great!
Good point! We needed to have the door and spring replaced once and while they were tightening it, something came loose and it nearly took his head off. Made a humongous hole in the new door and everyone was too shaken up to continue that day! They had cautioned us to stay inside and keep all children and pets away from that part of the house and to park our cars out on the street.
@@Lucinda_Jackson OMG. I’m glad someone could provide a legitimate cautionary tale. Tension springs are kind of an esoteric subject, and I only found out about it after an accident damaged my garage door, with it being stuck halfway up the track, and I had to quickly put in a new one to prevent all the woodland wildlife we have on our property from getting in. After I researched it, I basically had to shield myself when I dislodged the old door, knowing that the cables would snap up. After I put in an identical new door on the undamaged track, I definitely wasn’t going to mess around with the spring. I just figured I’d say something, because like Kaleb, I try to learn how to do things on my own, and then do it. Haha.
@@jnmatas If you live long enough, you either are at the center of a cautionary tale for a given situation or you know know someone who is! 🤣🤣 We were young and complete idiots at the time and my husband wanted to just install the door himself. I talked to the door company about the price of installation because my husband was NOT a handy person and harbored delusions about his abilities! 😂 I was the handy one l, but he was the strong one so it worked out. Anyway, the door guy recoiled in horror at the idea of anyone attempting it. It takes a special tool and a professional to know how to do it correctly and get the tension even. And it’s STILL dangerous! I just decided to surprise my husband and made the appointment for the installation so he could come home and find it all done. I was glad when I saw that man 🤏 this close to death.
We were sitting in our living room watching t.v. when there were about 5 large crashes heard in the attached garage. I went to investigate and found the tension spring had snapped a the The pieces had bounced around the room, damaging the drywall. The amazing thing was our new car was in that garage when it happened but 5he bouncing springs entirely missed the car.
I hope you have a way to secure the garage again. Around here anything metal "disappears" and is sold as scrap. the fence is going to be an amazing addition
I was concerned about the fence being stolen also! It's so pretty and expensive. I have some (not the same pattern) waiting to go up at my house and we paid heavily for it. I'm sorry you got injured opening the garage up but it is much appreciated. Lol
You just stole my thunder! Out here in LA, thieves will steal historical bronze fixtures off of monuments! They cut off the ornate filigree bronze lanterns off of a local BRIDGE to line their pockets!!! This place is another wild Wild West. No laws, no protection. Any kind of bronze, copper, etc, if it can be sold for scrap, it will disappear in HOURS! A local grocery store lost an antique metal sculpture from in front of the windows in thin air and of course no witnesses. It’s heartbreaking. Please lock this stuff up in your basement! PLEASE!!!!
Much of the wrought Iron fencing, in my little town was removed and melted for the war effort. The few that are left or been replaced have bricks and a stone cap with the iron set into the stone. The black and white tiles you used in the bathroon normally ran from the gate to the kitchen, and a path to the edge of the property under the window, If you want I can add google diections for some nice examples in the UK. Great Video. 2x👍
@@tomkuklinski2084 Our little town was built (mostly) by Mr Pease a man big in Iron. Many of the building are built with his white bricks a product of ironstone. The Jewel streets have managed to keep many original features. Just copy and paste the address into google earth and you should see the tiles Its bin day so excuse the garbage containers. 25 Diamond St. Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England 9 Diamond St Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England 12 Milton St Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England has a cast iron portico with a Victorialn post box.

Exciting episode!! The fencing will be gorgeous in front of the house and garden. I do have to say as a medical professional I hope you all are caught up on your tetanus shots. If you can’t remember the last one you had…it’s time for another one. Better safe than sorry. See you next week.
Yep germaphobe RN here, we've had it all every vaccine possible and by wearing our masks and sanitizing our hands after touching anything we've not had colds or pneumonia (knock on wood) now. In the years prior to 2020 we were hospitalized with pneumonia and also bronchitis. We live in a high pollination state and it doesn't help with allergies and problems with immunity. I pray we don't get Covid as hubs is not well and I am not in the best respiratory shape myself, just trying to not eat out or mingle in big crowds so far or go to tourist heavy places. We keep up to date with our tetanus shots! Working in the yard is a must but be safe!
Kaleb, the garage tour was much appreciated because I really wondered what was hiding in there! My only concern is about replacing the garage door so it’s weather proof and the contents are secure. Also, you’ve gotten very good at working with the limestone repair product because the repairs you showed this week look wonderful - I can’t wait to see the next video.
Three cheers for doggos in the truck bed, for the chicken chasing the mosquito, for pretty gate posts, for two excellent garage door opening assistants & for the amazing transformation of the house exterior. Cheers!!!!!!
When I saw the iron fence parts I briefly thought it might be the "Widows Walk" Iron from the top of the house! I really hope you restore the iron crown, as it is so Victorian!! You are doing a great job on the house! Such passion.
I was a bit teary-eyed, how beautiful the corbels looked now. You did a great job! Loved the rod iron fence, what a treasure to find. Caleb, keep up with the great work you are doing.
That iron fence is definitely a home run. So many houses where I live have removed them or at the very least not maintaining them. It used to be a sign of wealth now replaced with ostentatious SUVs, McMansions, and luxury yachts.
Very cool garage adventure! Maybe put the horseshoes down in the old vet clinic. Not sure he was treating horses, but would be kind of cool. Excellent work as always!
LOVE the fence!!! Reminds me of Butte and Anaconda Montana. I grew up around the Victorian style houses there. There are some spectacular restorations there. Love what you are doing. Really enjoying the channel. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and Kim all the best. 👍👏👏👏
Drum roll for garage reveal!! That iron fencing is gorgeous!! The mansard details look awesome...it's really gonna make that roof look original. Are you going to put the iron railings back up there on the roof?
That fencing will really look great! think we had the same GE refrigerator but with a pink interior when I was young. Hope you were able to get everything secured again.
If you need any metal work done for your fence, Koechners Manufacturing in Tipton is a good place to contact. He helped with the old fencing around St Andrews church in Tipton...does excellent work! Tell him Bobbi sent you!
I actually remember seeing an episode when you had the garage door open and it was the iron fencing that caught my eye. Wow, that's gonna be gorgeous 😍
The garden should have a a glass house porch in the middle with a path going to the road and your house something like the hotel del Coronado courtyard
Thank you for the garage tour! How fun. The fence will be spectacular!!! It is perfect. And your ‘stone’ work! Wow. I am so impressed by that. That edge was so straight. Your patience is such a great example. It is all hard, long work that you’re doing. I’m so proud of you. Just like I would be of my own son! Bless you
I got quite a thrill when I saw the wrought iron fence. My 1892 Queen Anne still has it's iron fence, one of only a few left in my little town. Your dedication to restoring that house is most admirable.
That old GE fridge in the garage is awesome! It's unfortunate it doesn't fit in with your house, but I really hope it can find a good home. I'd hate to see it end up in the dump just because no one want's it
Now you need to make sure that garage is very secure.. Iron is a hot commodity and stolen all the time but not for it's beauty but for it's metal.. Keep it safe..
perhaps the finial the metal detector found was your fence's some older garages have a folding door instead of a solid carriage sliding horizontally door, or two swing open doors, it would probably have if it was period to your house
hmm i remember seeing a long time ago in another videos with the garage door open, what looked like old metal fencing or it could of been the roof's Widows Walk Fencing up against the wall? Cant wait to see this house with it's top all done and the Widows Walk back on its peak.
@@johnkennamann1462 oh so is it just normal fencing? Shame and I think it is cresting that I see in the old Sepia photo. Shame it is gone, hope can find some new pieces for the roof peak.
Awesome opening shot! Addam's Family indeed! I am so sorry you got injured! (I was one of the curious ones who wanted to see the garage.) Did you mention your plans/vision for it? A workshop maybe? Iron railing is a great find. When will you know about the Hall lot?
You should be proud of yourself in making those corbels. Your getting better n better at your work. By the time your done you’ll be a real pro. Your iron fences are amazing. Great find. They will look awesome when you set them up n even far better if you get Mr. Hall’s property. The last refrigerator you showed us is so cool. I loved that blue n the best part is the shelves that roll out. I wish they go back to doing that again. It was great idea who ever came up with it. Sure hope the weather will be kind so you can get more done. ♥️😊👍👍👍
Always look forward to your videos. I’m amazed at the patience you seem to have at restoring your home. I can see the artist at work. BTW….I ordered my hoodie today.
I have painted horse shoes in the past with a black hammerite paint then decorated them with painted flowers.I gave one to a friend on her wedding day.💐🍰☕🍰☕🌄 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
YAY! Love looking through people's storage areas, especially better when I get a personal tour. I think it would probably be better if you wait until much later to put up the fencing incase you need to move something large onto your place like equipment or large appliances, etc. Will you have the rust blasted off or will you do some kind of at-home chemical treatment? Once that fencing gets painted, it will look glorious. Those appliances are really neat. I know older appliances last many years, and would outlive many grandparents. Those things are sturdy like a rock. Almost wish I had one. Great job on the outside of the mansard.
I love the garage tour-I think the bins to the first ice box are just inside the door and yes I want to see the inside of that one too. I have an antique O'Keefe & Merritt stove with a griddle in the middle and a grillavator I think they call it on the other side of the oven. So I totally need that icebox LOL just have no place to put it. One channel was discussing old ice boxes and they had one that had a removable tray on the backside of the door for Deli Meats, egg trays which I think is in yours and little compartment doors that were called butter warmers LOL!
Have a yard sale and sell the sixties and seventies stuff, because a lot of folks like that retro stuff! The lazy Susan fridge is cool! Your sale proceeds can go towards your beautiful home! Plus a sale would make room for any other furniture, or supplies that need to be sheltered.😊👍
This is exactly what I was going to say! A yard sale would benefit other restorers too. Even if you can’t use some of your “gifts”, I’m sure that none of your generous givers would fault you for passing them on and using the proceeds for something that you need.
If you're not going to reuse that garage door in place, I would still strip and repair it and use it for a room screen. Lots of exciting goodies in the garage, it will be great to see that wrought iron fencing out front. I'd be awfully tempted to keep using those refrigerators and freezer, at least until I could get "better" ones. You can never have enough cold storage. And maybe you could use one as a drinks fridge in your garage once you have power run out there eventually. Love that gas stove and eager to see what that settee looks like- one of these days. Getting more excited as you get closer to having the mansard roof fixed.
LOVED the treasure hunt into the garage. Thank you for getting beaten up by the door in order to show us!! Soon as I saw the wrought iron railings I THOUGHT you were going to say it was the original CROWN on top of the house. Disappointed it isn't but still delighted it will fence off yours and the Hall property to make it all inclusive if you can secure that extra land. The masonry work on the front of your home is coming along nicely. Your patience and care for detail and design really stand out on projects like that. The house is going to look beautiful when you have completed all that work. Another great episode, Kaleb, Kim and Dad, plus Atlas and the other pups. Thanks very much indeed as usual.
All those windows stashed in the back could be turned into a great little greenhouse for the garden...tucked in the back as they aren't period correct but it would be great when building up the garden on Mr.Hall's lot! Love the passion u bring to the house & history in general. U r a true artist!
If you don't have enough fence posts you could build masonry posts at the corners of the lot and also at gates. They could be adjusted in size to make the fence work for the length of both lots. You could also add a masonry post every two or three sections if needed. One other thought I have seen the wrought Iron fences with like a 1 foot masonry wall under them it makes maintenance much easier because weeds don't grow in the fence. I am so excited to see the stone repair it looks great. I can not wait to see the Mansard roof replaced. If you get to do the front windows as well this year it is going to look amazing. So excited for you both.
Everybody needs a deep freeze, especially if you plan a B&B Inn, I actually need 3 deep freezes for flash freezing and freezing meals that just two of us can't eat plus buying meats on sale and stocking veggies. Imagine using Mr. Hall's yard as an actual garden or at least part of it in a sunny spot. You could save by growing your own vegetables or do a neighborhood garden which is very beneficial for a community. I hope you manage to acquire Mr. Hall's plot as it would really increase the value of your property.
They sure made things built to last back then that refrigerator from the 40s and 50s and still works perfect unbelievable now they make s*** the last 10 years if your lucky and the refrigerator will last you 10 years and a washing machine maybe five? In the old days they would last 20-30 years when I was a little boy My grandmother used to wash on one of those things with the washing machines with the rollers on it that you would put the clothes through the to ring them dry and until my dad finally bought her a brand new washing machine. This was in about 75 or 6 right around then.
It's amazing how the patches at the front of the house have got it looking more like a home, at least to me. It's almost like an external example of all the love you are pouring into your home!
That refrigerator is the best they ever made and you will not have any problem selling it on line. And it's RETRO! which is so IN now. I had my mother 's for 12' years. Before buying a new frig in the 70's, And even then a dealer came and bought it for 40 bucks it was from the 50's.
Kaleb, you are forever amazing me with the care and dedication that you take with the repairs on your home! You are so detailed and fastidious in the work that you do! Kim shows me those same qualities as I watch her polish brass and clean crystal! The Charles S. Brown home couldn’t ask for more conscientious caretakers than the two of you! Love you guys! and keep these awesome videos coming, along with your hard work and sweat equity! You two are amazing! 👍😊❤️🐕💕🐾
I loved the opening with the spooky clouds and flashing lightning. Halloween material indeed. It was fun to see the garage interior and it must have been a bit of work to reseal the opening since it seemed unlikely the old door was going to be of much use. I'm truly looking forward to seeing the mansard restored. Your limestone repairs are amazing but I'd guess most don't notice from the street. The mansard is so visible it's repair will probably cause those who live in and around your neighborhood to stop and point. I don't know if your neighbor would be willing, but I'd like to see the restored mantel you've done for their home, back in place. Obviously with no personal family details, justed the remounted/restored mantle back in place, proving to all those nay-sayers who said it could be done that it actually could.
Nice intro Kaleb, I love T-storms. LOVE LOVE that beautiful wrought iron fencing, it’s perfect & will be gorgeous. I hope you get the property next door…it truly should be part of the house since it use to have Mr. Brown’s house.
You're right about the fence. When I saw it I was thinking I hope they put that up. And that corner of the house looks great. Your skills are just booming. Thanks for another great tour.
There is something insanely satisfying about watching the front facade getting patched and made to look amazing again!
Isn’t it exciting??

I wonder if the fence is an old Sears and Roebuck purchase. It was common to purchase through that catalog in Victorian times so people collect those.

You should be proud of yourself in making those corbels. Your getting better n better at your work. By the time your done you’ll be a real pro.
Your iron fences are amazing. Great find. They will look awesome when you set them up n even far better if you get Mr. Hall’s property. The last refrigerator you showed us is so cool. I loved that blue n the best part is the shelves that roll out. I wish they go back to doing that again. It was great idea who ever came up with it.
Sure hope the weather will be kind so you can get more done.
♥️😊👍👍👍
Always look forward to your videos. I’m amazed at the patience you seem to have at restoring your home. I can see the artist at work. BTW….I ordered my hoodie today.
Thank you very much! We really do appreciate the support!
I love the work that you are doing on the Limestone it is beautiful
The fence definetly matches the aesthetics of the house!
Caleb I am so sorry you got hurt. We did not intend for you to get hurt by your own garage 🚪🤣 keep up the good work house will be amazing 🤗
I have painted horse shoes in the past with a black hammerite paint then decorated them with painted flowers.I gave one to a friend on her wedding day.💐🍰☕🍰☕🌄
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
YAY! Love looking through people's storage areas, especially better when I get a personal tour. I think it would probably be better if you wait until much later to put up the fencing incase you need to move something large onto your place like equipment or large appliances, etc. Will you have the rust blasted off or will you do some kind of at-home chemical treatment? Once that fencing gets painted, it will look glorious. Those appliances are really neat. I know older appliances last many years, and would outlive many grandparents. Those things are sturdy like a rock. Almost wish I had one. Great job on the outside of the mansard.
Loved the iron fencing! Praises for keeping up the hard work.
I love the garage tour-I think the bins to the first ice box are just inside the door and yes I want to see the inside of that one too. I have an antique O'Keefe & Merritt stove with a griddle in the middle and a grillavator I think they call it on the other side of the oven. So I totally need that icebox LOL just have no place to put it. One channel was discussing old ice boxes and they had one that had a removable tray on the backside of the door for Deli Meats, egg trays which I think is in yours and little compartment doors that were called butter warmers LOL!
Wow, Love the wroght iron fencing ! I like the Fridge with the swing out shelves too.
I agree. Gorgeous repairs done outside. Hope the weather holds out for you!
Have a yard sale and sell the sixties and seventies stuff, because a lot of folks like that retro stuff! The lazy Susan fridge is cool! Your sale proceeds can go towards your beautiful home! Plus a sale would make room for any other furniture, or supplies that need to be sheltered.😊👍
This is exactly what I was going to say! A yard sale would benefit other restorers too. Even if you can’t use some of your “gifts”, I’m sure that none of your generous givers would fault you for passing them on and using the proceeds for something that you need.
Caleb you knocked it out the park again outside render looks FABULOUS your a one man restorer. Your skills are just getting better.
I so enjoy watching you and Kim update and preserve this wonderful house. I love this channel
Thank you so much!
John Jowers of Antique Appliances can make the stove and refrigerators look and work like new!
If you're not going to reuse that garage door in place, I would still strip and repair it and use it for a room screen.
Lots of exciting goodies in the garage, it will be great to see that wrought iron fencing out front.
I'd be awfully tempted to keep using those refrigerators and freezer, at least until I could get "better" ones.
You can never have enough cold storage.
And maybe you could use one as a drinks fridge in your garage once you have power run out there eventually.
Love that gas stove and eager to see what that settee looks like- one of these days.
Getting more excited as you get closer to having the mansard roof fixed.
Wrought iron fencing. Yay ! Hope u have enough. The open windows at night time, sharpe corners, and lightening and happy dogs.
best part of the vid- Those wiley beasts in the truck bed.
Thank you for the tour of the garage. You are doing an amazing job on the outside of the house.
Supreme work on the Korbel! WOW...Sharp edges are key! Looks amazing! Yes. It's old but restored perfectly. I'm impressed.
LOVED the treasure hunt into the garage. Thank you for getting beaten up by the door in order to show us!! Soon as I saw the wrought iron railings I THOUGHT you were going to say it was the original CROWN on top of the house. Disappointed it isn't but still delighted it will fence off yours and the Hall property to make it all inclusive if you can secure that extra land. The masonry work on the front of your home is coming along nicely. Your patience and care for detail and design really stand out on projects like that. The house is going to look beautiful when you have completed all that work. Another great episode, Kaleb, Kim and Dad, plus Atlas and the other pups. Thanks very much indeed as usual.
Awe, the sweet boys in the truck made my day!
All those windows stashed in the back could be turned into a great little greenhouse for the garden...tucked in the back as they aren't period correct but it would be great when building up the garden on Mr.Hall's lot!
Love the passion u bring to the house & history in general. U r a true artist!
If you don't have enough fence posts you could build masonry posts at the corners of the lot and also at gates. They could be adjusted in size to make the fence work for the length of both lots. You could also add a masonry post every two or three sections if needed. One other thought I have seen the wrought Iron fences with like a 1 foot masonry wall under them it makes maintenance much easier because weeds don't grow in the fence.
I am so excited to see the stone repair it looks great. I can not wait to see the Mansard roof replaced. If you get to do the front windows as well this year it is going to look amazing. So excited for you both.
Everybody needs a deep freeze, especially if you plan a B&B Inn, I actually need 3 deep freezes for flash freezing and freezing meals that just two of us can't eat plus buying meats on sale and stocking veggies. Imagine using Mr. Hall's yard as an actual garden or at least part of it in a sunny spot. You could save by growing your own vegetables or do a neighborhood garden which is very beneficial for a community. I hope you manage to acquire Mr. Hall's plot as it would really increase the value of your property.
Hope you can purchase the lot next door.
love the fence
Looking great:) 🙌🏼♥️🤍💙🇺🇸
Thanks for the tour of the garage
Pretty much the land of abandoned stuff, but let's see what is in there piece by piece.
Nice little haul in fridges and freezers, though.
They sure made things built to last back then that refrigerator from the 40s and 50s and still works perfect unbelievable now they make s*** the last 10 years if your lucky and the refrigerator will last you 10 years and a washing machine maybe five? In the old days they would last 20-30 years when I was a little boy My grandmother used to wash on one of those things with the washing machines with the rollers on it that you would put the clothes through the to ring them dry and until my dad finally bought her a brand new washing machine. This was in about 75 or 6 right around then.
It's amazing how the patches at the front of the house have got it looking more like a home, at least to me. It's almost like an external example of all the love you are pouring into your home!
That refrigerator is the best they ever made and you will not have any problem selling it on line. And it's RETRO! which is so IN now. I had my mother 's for 12' years. Before buying a new frig in the 70's, And even then a dealer came and bought it for 40 bucks it was from the 50's.
3 dogs? For those cold nights. 😊 I knew already you are a good guy but now I'm convinced. You are husband material!
I just realized the repair looks like a Eastern Michigan lower peninsula. 😁
Pooey on Michelangelo we have you. 😄👍
Hair~dresser me went 'squeee!' at that chair!! I look for~ward to seeing the facade finished up and the fence installed, it is going to be so lovely!
Caleb, save those bed pieces. You might be able to make an outdoor garden bench out of them. I love exploring old garages.
Hello Sharon how are you doing today?
Kaleb, you are forever amazing me with the care and dedication that you take with the repairs on your home! You are so detailed and fastidious in the work that you do! Kim shows me those same qualities as I watch her polish brass and clean crystal! The Charles S. Brown home couldn’t ask for more conscientious caretakers than the two of you! Love you guys! and keep these awesome videos coming, along with your hard work and sweat equity! You two are amazing! 👍😊❤️🐕💕🐾
I loved the opening with the spooky clouds and flashing lightning. Halloween material indeed.
It was fun to see the garage interior and it must have been a bit of work to reseal the opening since it seemed unlikely the old door was going to be of much use.
I'm truly looking forward to seeing the mansard restored. Your limestone repairs are amazing but I'd guess most don't notice from the street. The mansard is so visible it's repair will probably cause those who live in and around your neighborhood to stop and point.
I don't know if your neighbor would be willing, but I'd like to see the restored mantel you've done for their home, back in place. Obviously with no personal family details, justed the remounted/restored mantle back in place, proving to all those nay-sayers who said it could be done that it actually could.
Her house now is completely gutted.
the corbels do look absolutely gorgeous
Nice intro Kaleb, I love T-storms. LOVE LOVE that beautiful wrought iron fencing, it’s perfect & will be gorgeous. I hope you get the property next door…it truly should be part of the house since it use to have Mr. Brown’s house.
Please Don’t hurt yourself trying to make us happy. I am excited about that gate thought! Lol
That fridge with the lazy susans is amazing! I love seeing the progress you’re making on the house. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
You're right about the fence. When I saw it I was thinking I hope they put that up. And that corner of the house looks great. Your skills are just booming. Thanks for another great tour.
