If those walls could talk… It would take them a good long while to spill their guts to say the least.
Great old structure!
WHAT a Dream ~ but Real. Quite a Beauty, I Love these Old Places & things – and Speak a wealth of information.
Insulation – = Hope you're not going to use fiberglass. Rockwool serves more purposes. tho – only 'other' i know : }
Very cool 👍😊

Looks like a bracket it used to hang a old heavy kerosene chandelier
I've restored a lot of victorians in California Bay area I would love to restore that we don't have any of those looks like a fun project to me have a nice day
Very Very cool.I love old stuff like that.It makes my mind imagine what was.A lol of stories there.
Okay, if you actually going to put this place back together but want to keep the windows, check into getting vacuum glass. It is a little thicker but is way more efficient. The other thing you can do is use a thermal camera to find holes in the lath both inside and out. You can't really water proof it as that wood will need to breathe. I have a 100 year old home up on Edgewood that has become my personal suffering. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do.
Don't have to worry about bullets going thru that wood.
I've gutted several houses before and it's real easy for me to get distracted solving the mysteries that are unveiled. Being in a fort with that kind of history, It would take me days just to remove the chinking from one room…lol
That brace on the ceiling looks like it was to hang something from the ceiling. Maybe a candle or oil chandelier. You gave it away that you had someone else pull the old plaster off when you said "I've never seen that before" lol but hey, kudos to you for putting other men to work. We need you in the legal system as much as possible at this time in history. Thanks John!
Would you please do a video on the construction techniques used ?
The thing on the ceiling is to hang a oil lamp
Nice! Very nice! Get er done my friend!
Aways liked working on old homes. Find all kinds of things . Any farm ground go with the house?
Restoration like this is tedious and a lot of work but it's paying off for you…👍👍👍
