DiResta Porch Restoration [Pt 1]

Its always tough gettin rid of old stuff . but common sense usually prevails . good ta see you laboring brother , and reapin 'the benefits ,

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans youtube.com/post/UgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR… i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

It's more beautiful to see Jimmy work than the actual beauty of the project. Also love when Taylor pops in to help.

We love your old farmhouse! Happy to be a part of bringing it back to it's original glory!

Man that porch will last way longer than 100 years. Great build and an awesome video once again.

When you do something yourself, for yourself, you almost always get a better result, regardless of if you've done it before

It's amazing that a porch built 100+ years ago was still serving it's intended purpose. Sure, it was drooping, but considering the length of time, exposure to the elements and use, it's a testament to craftsmanship. I love that you saved all the wood and posts. That wood tells a story and being able to repurpose it is awesome. Just about a month ago I decided to take on the task of enlarging my back deck. Something I'd never done before but watched enough YouTube videos to get a good idea. The building went fairly smooth and the final product was as nice as I expected, however, my 51 year old body didn't enjoy getting back to work like that. So, I'm with you Jimmy, hats off to all the good people that make their living doing this kind of work daily. Really looks great Jimmy! The stone work is the perfect touch and a really nice contrast to the deck color.

Its great to feeling to step back and see the progress of a long project you've been whittling away at for a year. Its looking great.

I passed by when I was visiting my uncle and I must say wow! Great job on the woodwork!

That porch looks amazing. That was a lot of hard work for sure. But yes, you can set back and say I did this. Thanks for sharing.

Love watching all the improvements being done BUT, also love when the animals are part of the video. Lookin good Jimmy.

. The old houses are really nice when there done but are really a lot of work. Got to love the horse hair plaster.

Looks like the homestead is coming along Jimmy, great to have such a hard working lady by your side to keep it going too! Plus, you shaved, makes you look a lot younger brother. Keep the updates coming. All best to you both! :)

Jimmy put in the time and muscle on this one 👏🏼👏🏼👑🥇❤️💯

Beautiful eucalyptus! My redwood deck is probably my proudest creation.

Great work! I agree, once you get past 50, work like that can be brutal, and not nearly as quick as you want. Thanks for taking us along, and looking forward to part 2. Thumbs up!

Incredible... I'm exhausted.

The deck looks awesome! I'm sure all that hard work you put in makes you appreciate it even more!

you’re proving why standards and permits/inspections are very important. Back in the day, this house was built WO building standards per se.

That shot with the trees having been removed, I'd always thought that the house was a LOT further away from other houses.
