Brent--- when you encounter areas where you can see different era's side by side, it is called a "palimpsest" , something I always particularly enjoy. I love to see the patchwork of history. Thank you.
Love the kichen! That bathroom! I love the entry and stairway, but that is usually the only thing thats not "modernized ". So glad nobody demolished good craftsmanship!
This. So fun! Love the mixed styles. That was so typical. Note the taller “chair rail” height, esp in the bathroom where it often acted as a backsplash.
Brent - Had to learn how to take a screenshot because of you. THANKS so much! So many new words. Enjoy it when you touch on the nomenclature. With much respect, Hp
I have a few of those 5 paneled doors. Solid and heavy. I stripped them down from layer upon layer of paint and the most beautiful color of green came through. A paler green but not really pastel, very cheerful. My friend called it Lafayette Green. Anyway, I think my house is older than a hundred maybe. I was going to say 1923 for fun, but I think she may be older if the doors are an indication. It's a very simple shotgun house so maybe she got the left over surplus doors of another time? Do you have any videos about how to date your house? Mine was moved and there is no paper trail with a date.
Love this house, especially the staircase being a finish carpenter. I do stairs but most of the time they are very basic and the same old parts. I wish I could do more work like this. It's art. It's beautiful. I would love to see more videos highlighting staircases and fireplaces. Oh and that library was great too!
Brent you need to make a trip to Toledo Ohio to see the Old West End festival. My understanding that this is the largest collection of Victorian homes left in the country in one place...Large # in the 5-10000 Sqft range en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_West_End_District_(Toledo,_Ohio)
Well, I haven't seen that type of latch before. As I remember it was a combination. The pull was stamped but the button was cast brass. It felt rich and worked well. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
@BrentHull My wife and have been restoring a pre WW2 Los Angeles bungalow. Your videos are confirmation that I haven't screwed anything up yet. I'm always learning something new from them. I cringe in horror over a friend's decision to change out 58 casement windows in a 100 year old Spanish revival with cheap run-of-the-mill vinyl. If he had only discovered your channel first.

Hey thanks for the new word. I just looked it up. I love that. You're right. I'm going to use that going forward. Thanks so much.
I’d love to go back in time and watch those trim carpenters work. The plaster tile in the bathroom was cool too. Thanks for the video, Brent.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing! Working on old houses will help. Try to find work with contractors who do restoration work. Good luck.

Your production value is going up
Also, doing better with less verbal filler/uhhh.
Cool video!
Noted! Thanks for watching.
Those were Corinthian columns, not Ionic
Ok.
Your presentation would be perfect if you omitted saying 'right' and 'ok'.
Noted. Thx.
