There is a tinge of sadness for me too at losing some of those boards 😔 Always a silver lining though. So I’m looking for the good. I’m just so excited to bring the architecture back to life. Thanks for your thoughtful comment 💗
@@Montana_Ranch_Rescue your window was incredibly beautiful! Could I actually talk with you about the windows? My husband and I are looking for that type of windows for our period cabin and home.
Yeah! Shoot me an email jessicajackson.jif@gmail.com Wood windows are SO hard to find. I’ll look up where I got these. Not the fanciest, but very classic
I like the idea of saving the old and basically building a new structure in the same style. It is also nice to work on a building that has no electrical or plumbing issues! In some ways you are lucky and others not so much. Always find the silver lining. Great job and perseverance.
Totally agree! Anytime I’ve gotten worked up over something I usually realize it’s an opportunity in disguise. Good things will come. I’m thoroughly excited to start the stone work 🙌🏻
It is sort of hard to comprehend that Montana didn't become a State until AFTER my paternal grandparents were born... You could build a Folly from the remains of the building when you're done. Put up a couple of the walls and make a garden spot. Leave the wood exposed and plant around it. It becomes a reminder of what was, but is just for viewing.
Just devastating! I feel for you. But it's a good call. Vermin pee does not air out, especially after 100 years of saturation. I remember that smell from when we tore our kitchen cabinets out (the house had been sitting empty for 2 years). I can't even imagine what it would be like after 100 years! A hard call, but the right one. Also, you've got some serious building chops! Great job on that window!
Ugh it was a sad day realizing so much of the original had to go. But that smell! 😵💫 It’s been so fun rebuilding though-btw I love your greenhouse setup. Totally want to do the same!
Thank you so much! The windows have been a wild ride. Can’t believe Robbie drove over one 😤 😂 I salvaged some beautiful old ones too that I’d like to use for the operable windows-the old glass is just spectacular 🙌🏻
Hey that is brilliant! We have one really good wall-the north wall-that I REALLY want to try your method on. We have it saved and tucked away now. Cheers!
Vinegar, got it. Smart. I pulled nails and saved a bunch of boards today that I can try that trick on. Some, ugh, are so soaked through with mouse smell that I just can’t fathom reusing them 😬 Maybe it’s psychological 😆 but I just can’t try those

Favorite comment of all time 🙌🏻 Is it the same if all the parts are replaced? Ahhhhhhhhh valid, valid question. Maybe it is only an homage 🤷🏻♀️ but still worthwhile.
