Robert, what you and your wife, and the other Robert, Dan and Scott do is amazing and very much appreicate it all and for documenting it all and all that is left, of all those that came before us, and remembeing all those as well, in all those forgotten cemeteries. Admire all that y'all are doing. Thank you..
That "Par-T-Pak" bottle is a Pale Dry Ginger Ale bottle produced by Nehi Beverage Company between 1933 and 1954. So the bottle has been laying there for a long time! Old bottles always interested me. I was an antique bottle collector back in the 1980's.
You are keeping the history of your country alive and I respect you for that. I live for the history here in England and I can tell by your videos that it's the same for all of you here on this GREAT channel. Watching your videos gives me a lot of pleasure. Well done !
Places like this talk to you if you take the time to read the signs. Everything tells a story and the imagination fills in the cracks. It is a personal conversation that is well worth your time. Thank you for a great detailed tour The Other Robert! I can even see the people living in the house. ❣️❣️👍👍
Robert, I live in South central Wisconsin and we don't have old buildings or houses, now there taking out trees and turning everything into condo's or apartments.. I wished they would leave things alone... Love exploring old cemeteries and houses.. my house was built in 1904 we had square nails, toys, old toys, clothing , old newspapers for insulation and corn stalks. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for taking on "the leaves of three" to film this home. I love your narration. Talking to yourself while talking to us. I do the same thing. Helps get the thoughts in order. Glad someone bought you a new shirt since the other one got "stolen".
I'd love to be able to hang out with you guys and gals to see these old homes, barns, etc. and the cemeteries in your area of Georgia. I am a history lover, and it fascinates me to visit places like your "stompin grounds" and think about the people who once lived there. Thanks for taking me along, even if it is on camera and not in person. 😊
Hi Other Robert, I agree with you, it’s about the history. I love history. I once saw a saying that read, “ In order to know your future, you must understand your past “ . Definitely sounds like history to me. Thanks again for the exploration. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸
1116, PDT Thanks, Robert O and your producer, for making this crumbling home come alive. I think showing and sharing the training wheels put a young family in here, hard working yet leaving for town employment, perhaps. What a shame that none of the descendant owners kept this house in good shape. With its age, there would be a lot of history. Someone handled the adze for that lumber. Thanks again, and happy Mothers Day!
Thank you for the mother's day blessing. And yes history is slipping away us oldies are falling by the wayside. We're a special breed and the ones before use were even more special. Thank you for sharing. And Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's warching
I know some people will disagree with me, but I wish the owners would take a lot of pictures, and write down the history. Now this is the controversial statement. I wish they would take down the old boards and use them to rebuild something that would continue the knowledge of how it was done. All of this will rot away and all knowledge lost.
That fake brick tarpaper was a big thing back in the day. Love it.Years ago I was crawling around a old cabin/house and found a 24"×14" solid silver serving tray. I still have it 45 years later. Has some weight to it too. Thanks for sharing O.R. 19:31
THANK YOU OTHER ROBERT. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOURHARD WORK GETTING INTO THESE PLACES AND SHOWING US THE HISTORY BEFORE IT’S LOST FOREVER. THANK YOU. DONNA/MICHIGAN
At one time I’m sure this was a one room house but as the family grew so did the house. From the square nails it’s been there for quite awhile. I enjoyed seeing n trying to visualize a family that might have lived there. Wondering why they had to leave their home. We may never know, that’s part of history that’s long gone. To the other Robert, I sure hope you didn’t get any of that 3 leaf juices on you. Stay safe my friend n definitely stay well. ♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟🌟
I absolutely love it! But it made me a little sad to know that those old doors will rot down with the house. I have painted pictures on old barn doors in the past and they make quite a show piece for the wall.....and preserves a little in the process....and that refrigerator.....looked like an old "ice box". What a waste..... Thank you for sharing that with us😊❤️
Another good video from the other Robert and his Producer. Once places like this are gone so is the history of that place. Keep making these videos. Thank you for your explorations.
One of my Great Grandfathers came from Norway, & homesteaded in ND. Part of the requirement was to establish a dwelling, which my folks figured was a simple box structure. Later, when he had more money, he bought a 'kit' home & enlarged it into a 2 story house, which entailed altering certain aspects of the original dwelling. I think that is likely what the owner of your relic did, & accounts for changes in the appearance.---It's a shame the video was so dark, because I too love exploring old places, & have no fear of 'imagined' sights/sounds! (Uff da, I once grew poison oak in my yard, no doubt brought by a bird. Didn't know what it was, until years later when I had touched that plant on numerous occasions while gardening/pruning. It's funny now, but I've had to have shots, needed to work while taking 50mg of Benadryl to ease the intense itching. Finally got someone immune, to dig out the root. Now, whenever I have 'volunteers' in my yard from the birds, I let them grow until I know to leave the freebies, or get rid of a 'weed' or worse!)---
You did the same thing I did. If you put a dash before and after, a line will be drawn over everything in between. The only thing I can think of to use it for would be editing.
My parents house now my brothers, was built in 1901. It had that same brown siding stuff on it when they bought it. Love exploring old cemeteries and buildings!! Glad I found this channel a couple years ago!!
What a fascinating find and exploration. BTW, that up and down siding is also called vertical siding. That which goes side to side is often called horizontal siding. Just FYI. Nice video Thanks! 👍
As the old saying goes, take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints. Thank you Other Robert for investigating these remnants from a previous time. Blessings from Michigan.
Wide boards on the joist with a T&G hardwood floor on top was a common practice. My parents house in MI had the same type of construction. No different than plywood/hardwood or plywood/tile. Great video, thank you for sharing.
Well hello other robert and friend the old farm house 🏠 still standing they made it as cofortable and made do with what they had on hand history brings everything to life we don't appreciate what we have today all the best all Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
I have Swedish family who somehow made their way to Iowa (NW) and got their start. I believe, via the Homestead Act. Many from their community back in Sweden made the journey here, settled with or near them and felt very blessed for this opportunity. All generations are reminded at family reunions who they came, why etc. However, upon arrival, the first to arrive changed the original family name (so hard to pronounce) and honored a village from back home by taking its name. Just simple, hardworking folk looking for a better life and freedom of religion.
Thanks for another interesting adventure Robert! So glad you are doing these! Always makes you wonder about the families and how they lived back then. Appreciate you and hope you get a big raise in your new contract coming up!😊
This cabin reminds me of my neighbor's house in Oregon. He was working in the kitchen, took down the first layer of one wall and discovered the vertical boards as can be seen on this video. He thought it was just boards, but discovered they were holding up the wall. How old was it? We were not able to figure it out.
Thanks to "both" Roberts for this video. Even as old as this poor cabin is, you found a lot of history in that old wood. But aren't those fake bricks made out of asbestos? And in Wa it's the nettles that get us...😼
Thank you! And I know the cement siding common around the ‘50’s is asbestos but I don’t know about that early depression era stuff. It’s an asphalt shingle but idk what it’s asbestos content is, if any. Either way that sort of stuff is generally safe if not disturbed
My folks built a two room cabin and used board and batten running up and down probably in the mid to late 1930’s. Then in the 1950’s they enlarged it to 4 rooms and put shiplap over the boards running horizontal.
Thank you for the Mother’s Day wishes. Same to those women that you know to whom it applies… Really interesting episode. I’m glad you went in the house a little bit, and thanks for taking the risk. Really was something how it morphed over the years. Thanks again.
If it's three then leave it be and if it's five it's alright. The best way I always remember ❤️. Yeah it's got that ol brick siding I wish they still made it I always thought it was neat.
I think I remember Par-T-Pak (sp?) as a soda in the 50s early 60s- came in different flavors, cola, orange, grape... big bottles like 2 liters of today which I remember coming out in the early 80s.
If you can, will you tell us why the place was abandoned or your best guess and if it is possible for one to purchase any of these cool abandoned homes to restore! I'd so love that? Hey, does Georgia have any programs to help someone like me purchase and restore a home lost to time in that amazing state?
Really enjoying the Other Robert but who is the lovely voiced helpful female partner….the Other Robert has never introduced her 😄 Keep up the great job!!!
Why don’t people sell these old buildings to companies that reclaim the wood, etc, and repurpose it? These companies make some beautiful buildings/things from these old things.
They didn’t burn coal , pasteboard ( cardboard boxes) interior insulation. Maybe it was the cemetery s caretakers house . That shack is built funny . I think that glass bottle was ginger ale . Or some type of soda .
You need a trigger warning, this video has way too many scary 3 leaved plants in it! That stuff freaks me out! I think I have a phobia, esp since that day I had to chase down a loose embden goose, and he ran into 5 foot tall 3 leaf "bushes". Ol Mr Honkey was a naughty goose! I was all up in that and had to wash down heavy with the fels naptha in the bath! As an aside, Mr Honkey was with us about 20 years, and he was already an adult when we got him. Man, I hate poison ivy!
