Abandoned Home

Currently Playing: I Nearly Had to Walk Away...

Make sure to SUBSCRIBE! 💗 Follow me on instagram: @holistic__emma Welcome back to my abandoned general store renovation! In this episode, I begin one of the biggest challenges of this historic restoration: saving the original 120-year-old window sashes instead of replacing them. Before I can repair these antique wood windows, I have to strip away decades of old paint to uncover what's really hiding underneath. Is there hidden wood rot? Are the mortise and tenon joints still strong? Can these historic windows actually be restored, or are they too far gone? As if that wasn't enough, I'm tackling this entire project during a brutal 100-degree heat wave, pushing myself to the limit as I work to preserve the history of this abandoned building. If you love historic restoration, abandoned building renovation, DIY woodworking, window restoration, historic preservation, old house restoration, homesteading, and learning traditional woodworking techniques, you're in the right place.
