Andys grandpa built this pack house about 85 years ago, it was once used as its name suggests, to pack tobacco until it was ready to be sold. In his later years it was used for storage for just about anything you could think of! We have lived here for 10 years and our goal has always been to make it usuable again! Come with us on our journey through history.

Y’all! Hitler was from the early 1930s to the 40s. He rose to fame after the parliament burned. It was very chaotic time in Germany. People fell for him. I’d put a piece of glass over that table top to preserve that paper that is real HISTORY! That is the coolest thing ever and worth some serious money to the right person! LOVE THAT. I’d keep it for the historical relevance though for my kids future. Sooo cool! ❤Leslie (we come from the duct tape generation down here too-tape screws wires you name it-I seen motor pieces wired on duct taped on things would make current day gen go WHAT!?😂 Leslie

This video is testament to what people used to do to get the job done without having the “ proper” equipment. Like my own Daddy, your Grandpa used what he had to take care of and provide for his family. You don’t find many men like that nowadays. Good job by your entire family. How refreshing ❤. God bless

Back then you didn't have a tractor supply house, your grandpa was brought up throw away nothing in case you had to make it work. He would be and enjoyable man to sit down with and chat, not only the history but he could teach us how to do things a simple and fast way.

Those old canning jars, pop bottles and other old items are worth money to an antique dealer. I know, because I am a retired dealer, so don’t throw those items away until you get them looked at by a dealer. Call any nearby antique mall and they can hook you up. The shoe repair iron was called a “last”. We had a couple of those when I was a kid. (I am. 85 now.)

I enjoy your videos. Concerning the news paper article stuck to the table, Hitler came into power in 1933. World War 2 offically started in Europe in 1939. We (USA) entered the World War 2 in 1941. With that said your newspaper article falls between those years. The ice cream cooler in the back of the building is worth investigation, either to restore or sell to a collector. Same with the typewriters. They are highly sought after if they are manual and condition doesn’t really matter. The ruffled wheel cutter on a stick can be used for pie crust as you stated but also for cutting pasta, cookie dough and pastry dough. Again, thank for doing what you do and keep up the good work and content.

That is a stringing horse for tobacco. We still have a couple of those around. The table is probably a tobacco grading table. We have one from back then. They would grade out the tobacco as they took it of the sticks after curing and before going to market. Cool finds for us NC tobacco folks. Countrybee

If you can fix it, I think it would be amazing. Repurposing something your grandpa built... Keep the memories alive by fixing it to last many more years..... LOVE IT!!! Plus, you have an abundance of canning jars, which is good for Meagan to use for all the canning she does. GOD does provide what you need and you needed screens and you found what you needed, AMEN!!!! Good luck with getting it all fixed and NO you are "NOT CRAZY" for trying to preserve what your grandpa made.......hopefully for future generations to reap the benefits of having it.....

That's a tobacco stringing buck or horse as some people called it. It was also used when taking tobacco off the stick when they stung it by hand. That table may have been used to take tobacco off the stick on that was strung on an electric stringer. When I cleaned out Grandpa's packhouse, I found one of Daddy's blue wool navy uniforms from World War II and the Winston-Salem Journal that reported the Lawson Family murders on Christmas day in 1929 in an old trunk. Those homemade hitch pins remind me of me. Give me an old wore out bolt that's big enough and I'll make a hitch pin out of it. I found a half gallon Tropical jar in the basement that Mama had but unfortunately, it was cracked. If you can fix the floor, it's definitely worth saving.

I taught1840 farm life skills for many years and even now when I need something to make do or fix whatever, I just stop and look around and 9 times out of 10, I can make it work without having to go to the store.

That was a great video!! I am 68 years old and my dad cut my hair with one of those hand clippers. Yes it sometimes felt like it was pulling hair out by the roots. Yes that is a pie crust cutter my mom used one. My house was built in 1861 and off the basement is the old root cellar. when I bought the place 42 years ago it was full of old kerr atlas and ball jars many of them more than 100 years old. Atlas was on business from1902 till 1964. I am still using most of those jars. I have my grandparents old hand crank meat grinder and still use it. It will keep you young and in shape. Keep the videos coming. I really enjoy your channel!

My husband has nearly every tool there is for everyday mechanical work. Most came from yard sales. He's the go to for family working on mowers or cars. 😂 That thing is to string tobacco. I'm sure many knew that. The kids job was to hand tobacco to the person, usually a mom or grandma with that super human skill, 3 leaves. You best not slack or get distracted. 3 leaves, not 2 and not 4 but 3. I can remember doing that. (I'm 64). Hard work for the grown ups but great ham biscuits and lots of family, picking and laughing anyway. A really good memory. And canning jar Christmas! My mom has given me a lot of old jars. So neat to can in my grandma's jars. Enjoy y'alls channel so much. Thanks. God bless.

The round thing with the sharp wheel is what people used to make spots to run their leather or sinew through to make leather out of aniimal hides to use for many things. My mom has a butter churn with animal hide on the bottom of it and it still has it on it even though she doesn't churn butter in it. It's lasted probably 80 to 100 years. People made thing last and my grandfather has been dead since 82. my mom is 85 now!

Love your videos.....just seen this one, brings back memories from my life being raised on the farm. You need to refurbish the old table and keep the newspaper on it, that`s history ! I know back in those days everyone did things different, but I think you may have misspoken about the single tree use. I`m saying that because I actually remember using them and helping my grandfather gearing up his work horse to plow the tobacco fields and garden. You stated that the middle hitch point hooked to the horse and the outer points hooked to the plow. Well, we used ours just the other way around and doing so the outer hooks kept the chains from the gear on the horse spread out and didnt rub the chains so much on the hips of the horse. Our single trees was longer than what you showed because my grandfathers horse was the size of a Clydesdale, he was huge, a gentle giant. I mean no disrespect to what you said just thought you may have gotten your words messed up, or if not then I guess I`m telling you how we used them here in Ky. Keep the videos coming.

Reminds me of my Uncle. He was born in 1919 and never threw anything away. He even kept bent nails in case he needed them later. Those folks lived through the great depression and saw hard times. They knew the value of being self reliant and making due.

It’s so good you’re fixing the building! I remmber old tvs and you had to go out to turn the antenna too! I still have an old fashioned antenna. I don’t ever watch tv but I have it if I need it. Works fine!

As a woman of 71years who has recently given up independent housekeeping due to my health, may I offer a suggestion? Consider taking a picture of the old preserved foods and making a photo album of sorts in tribute to your elders. Then pitch those old food jars before they become toxic and dangerous to one of the kids or an animal. Best of luck to you!
