Arrival at Ancestral Property

makes it even prettier so we're pulling up here that's my great-grandparents house directly in front of us and that's where they're putting the Dollar General awesome kind of a sad walk it's a little sad here this is where we used to have our family reunions when we were kids there was a old store building right there and that's where the post office used to be for meadows of dan virginia and this is our old well house great-grandparents well house in the front porch we'll go on up here so this used to be a two-story house right here and these are the old flagstones that were picked up here off the mountain and used to build the chimney just things are just kind of all the pieces so I can remember as a kid sitting on the porch here with the swing and a little glider chairs old-time glider chairs walk in the door there and my great-grandpa be sitting by the wood stove let's go on inside yep she's locked still got a boa my wife just said well there's a door over here too I said yeah I know this is my grandparents house pretty sad no what's under there pretty sad now I was told by part of my family that this house used to be a long house but what I'm seeing is it didn't used to be a long house but there's some pretty cool old Timbers up here and they were saying I should get some of these Timbers to use in my house you can see the hand-hewn Timbers here and big logs I'll show you real quick these are all oak hand hewn Timbers right here's probably one of the oldest pieces of wood in the whole house it looks like these piers that go up there all hand-hewn I'm not sure that some of these Timbers that are going up right here aren't American chestnut there's one of the old pegs that is used to hold this beam in place interesting so this is my great grandmother's kitchen and out there's the Family Dollar great grandma's canning jar it's going home it's going back to Stony rage so back when this house was built there was an outhouse out back and this is the bathroom and it was that's the addition that was put on the house now a little funny story about great-grandma and great-grandpa I come from a long line of silly jokester type people the light switch in here I've been looking all over for when I can't find it it's not in the house anymore but the light switch here had a thing on it that said the flasher and it was this guy standing there with a coat open and you can guess pretty much what the light switch was I've been looking all over if any of you guys see one…
