While I enjoyed your practical demo, there are a myriad of variable mini excavators that all look the same. A name and model in the description would be very helpful as we try to compare one from another.
I would say 50’s 60’s maybe since things were updated. I didn’t see any “modern” evidence of fixing it up. Maybe just an old hunting cabin that was left alone in a family.
For those of you weighing in on the windows in the laundry room, he said it's more like a closet - just the washer, dryer, and a shelf above them. He may be a goof, but everything he is doing on this cabin, he has a reason for doing it. Also, the window coming out of the bathroom is making room for a shower.
The comment talking about people not understanding how these old structures work...... I'm a Pennsylvania boy myself, a lot of balloon frame structures with rough hewn lumber. I appreciate you addressing the issue of how sturdy the frames of these houses really are. Especially the houses built in the last 20 or 30 years where you could just break in through the side with a utility knife...
Henry Reynolds, a roofing contractor from Grand Rapids, Michigan, is credited with inventing asphalt shingles in 1903. Reynolds cut asphalt-saturated rolls covered with stone into 8 in x 16 in shingles by hand. Asphalt shingles were first used in 1901 in the United States. By 1911, people started to use them on a general scale, and by 1939, approximately 11 million were being produced. So yes this is 2024 now, so yes this house could be over 100 years old! no lie!
