While removing old ceiling joists and cutting back hanging wood lath, I discovered historic writing - old dates left behind inside the bedroom wall, over 80 years old. Moments like this are a reminder that renovating an abandoned historic building isn’t just about demolition and repairs, but about uncovering the human history hidden inside the walls. This abandoned general store renovation is part of a larger historic renovation project. In this episode, I inspect the bedroom walls, check for rodents or animals behind the walls, clean old plaster and brick, and stabilize the space before moving forward. I peeked inside the walls to look for signs of mice or snakes, removed unsafe lath and joist remnants, and cleaned up decades of debris. I also share major updates on the project, including upcoming land clearing on the back lot. If you’re interested in abandoned buildings, historic home renovation, old house restoration, living on-site during renovation, uncovering hidden history in old homes, or renovating a general store into a livable space, this video documents the real process - messy, thoughtful, and deeply personal. 00:00 Introduction 01:30 Removing Old Wood Lath 04:24 Future Bedroom Renovation Plans 05:18 A Look At The Historic Build 05:38 Removing Old Ceiling Joists 07:24 Inspecting Inside the Walls for Rodents or Animals 08:37 Removing Old Wood Lath 09:07 Big Update 1 10:43 Removing (More) Old Wood Lath 11:50 Removing Old Wood Lath (Again) 13:05 Cleaning Decades of Dust and Debris from an Old Bedroom 14:29 Hidden Writing Found in the Bedroom Wall (Historic Discovery) 14:40 Sweeping Up Debris and Old Lath After Demo 15:55 Bedroom Demolition Before and After (Abandoned General Store) 17:08 Outro
