NAH , that would not have worked here in this old house . NOTHING i mean nothing i have ever seen on them shows came even close . Home was built in 1892 and what i found under the horse hair plaster was nothing like i have ever seen before and none of my buddys that bend nails for a living had ever seen before either . To start with removing the old red oak trim was and eye opener , my brand new handy dandy SUPER bar was not so SUPER , it was no match for the 4 1/2 inch finish nails that were used every six inches on the door trims and OH you ain't seen nothing yet them six inch finish nails that held the base boards on must have been left over from when they nailed J/C to the cross and they had well over a hundred years to set themselfs in the wood. Would have loved to have them Experts here for THIS OLD HOUSE REMODEL All the walls had to be SCRAPED of the 3/4-7/8ths inch of plaster as there was NO lath strips it was inch and a quarter poplar six inches wide tong and grooved with a double dovetail cut on the face this was from floor to ceiling on all outside walls . Oh and it was nailed with four nails to each stud. The old carpenter who built this OLD HOUSE was proud of his work as he signed and dated each piece of trim in this house Joesph West 1892 , Oh yea while i had the ceilings down i removed the gas pipes that were in the walls and ceilings from the gas light that were in here many years ago.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
