Everything WRONG with my circa 1895 Farmstead (The Car Wizard demands a DEMOLITION of the milk barn)

probably the leadiest of lead-based paint you know if you want to try and like check yeah okay all right welcome to hoobies farm the dumbest Farm in all of YouTube but calling it a farm is kind of a stretch but that's what this originally was this property the house behind me built in 1895 this was a Farmstead where they had cattle they had crops but now it's just five acres the crops surrounding me have been sold off and now I get basically the original Farmstead property and I'm turning it into the Ultimate Car Guys Paradise now when I bought this thing I did get an inspection on the house and it didn't check out very well but the rest of the buildings were all 100 percent as is I did not have them inspected so I've decided to call in a little expert now normally he's an expert when it comes to cars but he has lived on the farm a very long time itself up until very recently the car wizard so he knows a lot more than me about a property like this and I am very curious what he has to say he's coming over very soon I'm very excited to show it to him but I'm also a little worried about what he might find a few of these buildings are probably older than my grand parents so uh yeah but before I let the car wizard inside I'd like to thank Morgan and Morgan for sponsoring today's video now I've had my fair share of accidents ouch and other incidents but I can't stress enough the importance of seeking a lawyer if you need help after an injury or Insurance claim following an accident that's after all why we have insurance and if they aren't making a hole after having an accident you really need a lawyer I know it may seem like a daunting Prospect having to find one spending hours in meetings and the cost of it but you couldn't be more wrong how well more than 3 million people have trusted Morgan and Morgan when they were injured in an accident and here's why Andrew didn't don't know where to start with Morgan and Morgan it's so easy with Morgan and Morgan you can submit a claim without ever having to leave the couch in eight clicks or less you can submit a claim to Morgan and Morgan they modernize the injury law process so you can sign documents upload pictures share medical records and doctor bills all from your phone you can even text message your attorney and case manager without ever having to go into an office so if you're ever in an accident you can check out Morgan and Morgan you can submit a claim in a clicks or less and you can have America's largest injury Law Firm fighting for you so you can get started at for the people.com Com or dial pound law that's pound 529 from your cell wizard oh goodness oh Wizard's here but he's he's too polite to knock hello wizard you could knock a ring a doorbell you don't have to worry about that is this garage here yes well the Hooves Farm I suppose you know built in 1895 originally did you what's up with that um there's a light there'll be a table here you don't need to walk into it but yes oh you know there's some things that came with the house that uh I'm just you know hanging back up it's kind of odd okay yeah but uh beautiful updated main floor here but the house originally built in 1895. this is where it would have ended okay this seam right here and then they sort of built out the port to give you a nice sitting area it has like a feel of 1895 tell it's definitely been updated they did a very good job yes well I want you to get full nitty-gritty be honest if you find things because wizard lived on a farm for a long time you married into property with Mrs wizard right that's right yes a nice several Acres 40 40 acres where they [ __ ] they farm corn like what's out here and Milo and soybeans all kinds of so he knows all about Farm life you're married into it and right well I'm curious what you think of my farm it's only five acres everything's farmed around it but uh yeah so give me the inspection here um the house itself see the kitchen's nicely updated too I doubt you'll find any issues here it looks very well done how long ago was this done oh in the last year or two so very recently they did a very good job yeah stove yes copper hood the farm back then oh yep take a look 1956 an aerial photo wow so like there's the house there's the windmill and several buildings yeah a lot of them out there still exist so a lot of them well are as old as this they're probably older than World War II wow yeah pretty impressive but you can see the house didn't have the garage before this Edition where they had the New Foundation put on and uh added on to it but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do but everything else downstairs I don't really understand how it works but it's really neat I'd love for you to see it let's go check it out all right let's come see come see wizard this is the utility room and this is something I've never dealt with before you can see I do have a nice modern Basement foundation everything's really nice here instant water heater which I've never had before but that's a really nice addition to the house to have it really like it but the thing I really don't understand is the geothermal system which I I think it's all this obviously right um so do you understand it at all I see like summer and winter this is a humidifier that's what this is but you know most houses have an outdoor unit and uses air to cool it this uses water and then it uses when it warms up the water it sends the water probably to a pond or something yes it does Airy it out to a pond but basically getting water from the since water through the ground I think it pulls water like the well water from the ground to cool the condenser coil and then sends the water outside well it does blow very cold the whole house feels really like it doesn't feel like a drafty old house and the AC seems to have no problem keeping up I mean do you see any issues here at all I do see this panel has been updated you know back in the day they had old glass fuses oh yeah this one's got the nice yeah it's got the nice switches it's great everything's labeled I mean probably about when they did the New Foundation that maybe the 80s or so I would think they updated all the electrical right yeah definitely so what's the big ball there that is your pressure tank for your well pump oh so like even if the well pump were to die you have some pressure built up there and it keeps the pump from cycling all the time I see okay well a little bit of the old house you can see the ancient floorboards and things oh right up there yeah and then that hand cut wood that is so cool not something you see at Home Depot nowadays it was really good on this side yeah you can't buy that type of wood anymore yeah well I'm not going to give you a full tour of the house well I will you can see everything but like personal spaces I'm not going to show on YouTube but what I'm really interested is the outside buildings and what you think and if I should save some or bulldoze some others so you come take a look outside that'd be great let's go do it all right come on out wizard well I guess you can see the biggest garage I have actually so this is uh hoobies garage 3.0 for now it just fits two vehicles yeah I mean only the Escalade and the Grand National are in here right now but actually I plan to get rid of this garage I may enclose it and make it into like a master suite oh that'd be cool yeah so really Roger I haven't want to get rid of but uh it already has a lot of things that you would want in a bedroom or basically right here an apartment it's a I guess it was a hobby room oh it's AC and everything yeah there's a restroom in here definitely needs updating but it's functional wow and the mini split unit is not something you want to use you know in your master bedroom probably but it looks like a pretty new unit huh it does but one thing I definitely want to add is a big Bank of Windows looking out on the property and that's sort of why I want to bulldoze a building out here to not obstruct The View but otherwise I really have no use for this room it's kind of like a hobby room a sewing room that kind of thing right really nice I think I think talking about yeah but the whole thing basically bathroom closet on either side will push the wall out a little bit it'll be yeah it'll be a good run definitely well those cicadas are starting early here but here's the other half of the mini split yep store unit which with your geothermal you notice you don't have that no I don't need it but the other thing I don't need is this old milking Barn so this is probably one of the oldest buildings along with the main house but you can see how rough it is I mean there's the roof it had plywood replaced on it but yeah it's just it's just rotting away in so many places probably yeah looks like they kept a dog in here and they had a dog door but once again water intrusion and all of that probably the leadiest of lead-based paint you know if you want to try and like check all right uh but uh yeah it's kind of [Applause] rough look at the floors yeah but they tried it they replaced the ceiling obviously with the modern plywood but it is so rough and this was the milking bar and so you have this trough right in the middle here they put food here while they're milking the cows or I I was told maybe water would run through here okay keep things cool but uh yeah you can see there's a big rotten part of the roof right there where it's coming in oh yeah I can see that but uh yeah kind of a mess I mean what do you think is this building salvageable yeah yeah I don't think this building is salvageable something's really creeping me out though yeah you had a really nice modernist mansion and now you're on a chicken farm or a milking Farm how that's kind of weird it is I just I wanted something with a few acres to where I could put up my dream space my dream basically barn or garage and this was the only thing that really fit the bill I waited for over six months before I pounced on this thing just to see if anything else would pop up the house had the charm and all that stuff but I don't think anybody wanted this because of all the buildings you know yeah and you don't have 40 acres or whatever to work in Atlanta it's just the five acres left of the original compound The Farmstead so I was the only person dumb enough to buy this crazy thing it's definitely in line with your vehicle purchases uh it certainly is yes yes so this one is going to get knocked down I suppose huh yeah I think this is you could probably make some things kind of the way you want them and make it fit the deal even more I already got a quote 3 500 bucks to knock it down to haul off all the concrete basically I'm left with dirt level dirt that's not bad actually I thought it was pretty reasonable yeah most definitely but uh the rest of the buildings I think I'm going to keep unless you see something wrong with them go check them out yeah you can also see how the roof is wavy there yeah it's got water underneath of it and softened the wood and yep so it's coming in uh but this one is also in that photo from 1956 but I think the tin roof has more or less saved it to where it seems pretty sound but I'm curious what you think I mean I trusted enough to put the HHR SS you know Priceless rare Relic there and the Aston Martin vanquishina which is much less rare and special when people think of hoobie's garage and the type of cars you have they don't think of this as the storage yeah I mean this isn't really my long-term solution uh most certainly but uh yeah what do you think of the structure of this one look at those old boards up there just I think it's definitely a keeper it's useful you could put lawn equipment or something out here bicycles yeah yeah but it doesn't look like it has any of the rot or issues of the other place right right it doesn't look like it's about to collapse or soft wood or anything like that so yeah this one's definitely a keeper yeah I think so too and there's one other very old building that I think is super solid as well it looks like an old southern mansion from here especially with your Levante classing things up it definitely but here is the other old old barn but this one being all 10 and it is really solid and somebody went to the trouble of putting nice new concrete down here as well inside and out so it doesn't have the doors apparently a tornado blew them off at one point so they're just wondering where's the door yeah there's no security to it at all no climate control insulation obviously so I don't feel comfortable putting anything you know super nice in here but it's a great spot for the trucks I mean a million mile RAM and teal metallic they just look absolutely fantastic in here don't they they do and definitely the thing to have is that GMC oh yeah the GMT 400 and this thing was used a lot for uh Banquets and weddings and things it kind of became an event space more than a usable Barn for the last few decades and that's when they added all these s and bulbs and that neat that is really it's got a really cool Spirit about it really cool vibe yeah and they even added a restroom out here which I'm not too sure about apparently I'm going to have to winterize it every year and I'm already seeing some water damage down in this part yeah and it just seems like a Haven for bugs and roaches and things yeah it may be time to get this moved out of here they're removed I should remove the restroom yeah all right but yeah pretty Party Barn huh it is it's really cool it's really nice and then right out here is where I plan on erecting movies garage 3.0 it's going to be a very big erection over there in those bushes just right as the concrete ends okay is where I will I will build the thing I erections in bushes before it actually goes very well well I'm sure it does but basically I can go 60 feet on this side and then I can go 80 100 feet back I have to be a little bit careful with the guest Barn which that's going to blow your mind when you see that a little bit with the aerators because there's a second septic back there um but this guy's the limit basically on what I can do and that's primarily why I bought this place it is really cool you probably got a good deal you got a really nice house and then you can take away the things you don't want and add the things you do want and transform it into like you said hoobies garage 3.0 yeah so I love the vibe out here it's just so relaxing and once I have the berms built up that's another thing that we're doing over here with the pond have it all dredged out and then the dirt going up to those berms those Hills over there to where it blocks the road and gives you all this privacy it'll be so so nice but one thing that still survived from 56 as well is that really cool old windmill you can see it there an arrow motor it used to be um right up by the house but they moved it back in the 90s here this little chicken coop too well we'll go in here in a little bit but I would love to know how this air Motor Works or if it's broken there's actually something mechanical that you can inspect because it doesn't really move unless it's super windy I know it's missing a fin up there it's missing a fan and there should be like a lever or something you pulled off it's actually engage their tail fin and swing out oh yeah yeah I think this is it here that's it right there so that there's no wind today really but it's so that loosened up the tail to where it would deploy and engage and yeah if we had a windy day today the tail would swing out and locked and it would start pumping it looks like the the center Rod is not connected though the Rod's not connected no oh that's a shame it is a shame it can't pump without the shaft basically it could be useful where it would pump water from the well out into the pond to help fill it up huh yes that looks like that's what they did there you can see it's buried into the ground over there and goes to the pond but yeah if you ever want to use it once you get it hooked up you just deploy it with this lever and then when you're done with it you can lock it back all right and that's the stowed position interesting okay wow that's cool that you got one of those yeah well you want to take a look at the chicken coop chicken farm huh yeah I could definitely Farm some chickens here if I wanted to interesting yeah come inside basically it's completely 100 ready to go there's even still chicken poop and feathers in there well there was freshly some chickens not too long ago in here then yeah where did they go well there's a problem with Coyotes out here I know that and uh there's no fence out there anymore which I imagine I have to add if they wanted to go outside but uh nice little home and you had some chickens on your old property right yeah we've had several chickens are they fun they are fun did you eat the eggs I did sometimes you'll get overrun with eggs you'll have give them to your neighbors and whatnot but I think your kids would like the chickens yeah well let's look at the other parts of this structure there's some weird signs around I saw the one up there that said exotic pets I didn't point this out in the last video though this is the only uh I guess porcelain or is a painted sign that stayed with the property we're not anywhere near WhiteWater Kansas but uh still kind of cool huh yeah that's not too far from here though and then this is a stall for another animal like a donkey or a pig or something maybe you should get a pig I don't know apparently a donkey would be good to keep coyotes away yeah I'm told it could it really they'll go after them or alpacas too alpacas will that be fun uh yeah another storage area and a lot of things left behind I mean they even left I think a gallon of gas for me in in here is probably not good anymore but all kinds of equipment and implements and things even a miniature shovel for for your son yeah everybody can get in on the fun here of the farming this is really cool it's a really cool place man the more I see the more I'm like totally like I know I'm excited for you there's something just really comforting about this place just something it's just I'm always so relaxed everything I've been seeing is really kind of making me hungry actually okay my stomach's growling huh well uh the tour's almost over at wizard all right yeah I mean the ponds the chicken coop we could even start farming this again this was used as a vegetable garden that's now gotten overgrown but I didn't even have the Children of the Corn out there oh well I hope not I haven't been scared by anything here yet though I mean it's just if there are any ghosts it's really good vibes but also there's this old grain silo yeah I mean what would you do with this I mean a lot of people knock them down because they don't use them anymore but uh yeah I mean what do you think well I'll take a peek inside and see is it empty or what did they do with it it probably wasn't grain at one time yeah is there anything in there oh it's got an echo yeah yeah all right so let me go look for myself a little bit of trash but hello I mean seems pretty solid huh yeah it is pretty solid I just keep it just for looks yeah I agree the whole vibe with the windmill the chicken coop and this I mean it's just an essential Kansas farm here it is I don't know what else you would do with it other than just for decoration yeah yeah isn't that view just gorgeous wizard it's quintessential Kansas very much and the barn dominium is quintess Israel Kansas as well so This Barn isn't that old it's not the old picture but I do think it's from the 60s or 70s and they put a new skin on it and wait till you see what's inside well it looks like it could be a newer building but I can tell it's not because if you look underneath the tin you can see the corrugated old stuff yeah they just slapped the new 10 on top of that so basically what's on the uh Barn you know the carport or the Big Barn they just put a modern Korea steel roof over it yeah yeah and then of course the new facade definitely and you can tell the Whip and you can definitely tell the roof is a little wavy too it's the old roof yeah but wait until you see this so I do have another one car garage with the mower sitting a lot of storage right now then you go inside and it is being painted right now but it is basically a perfect home for me I could live here a one-bedroom Barn of Indian so you have a beautiful kitchen this is not what I expected to see oh I know I know kind of a divider for the living room you could have guests and have their own little place to stay it is an in-law suite for sure but I'm thinking I'm going to make it a little studio for a future project here uh but uh yeah dividing you have to walk through the bathroom which oh my the craziest bathroom ever yep wow yep that's like a five-star hotel no it is really nice and then I did this all in black yeah what's this going to be like a studio space podcast Studio a project I have coming up so oh wow yes so that's that is uh Ruby's Farm if you will I mean it's can't really call five acres of farm but it's it was a farm at one point obviously yeah for over a hundred years it was yeah I have a new lease on life now just a different life yeah yeah definitely a lot to do though but it'll be a very fun process but it's interesting I've gone from having all this garage space and I still have the hanger obviously to store my cars for a while but uh yeah I don't have very much out here I'm actually going to get rid of some so that building definitely needs to go up huh it definitely does I'm actually looking forward to seeing how whatever you have in your mind and actually see it come to fruition that'll be sweet yeah I'm definitely getting hungry though okay well we'll feed you and then I'm gonna get the demo guys to come out and uh we'll say goodbye to some ancient buildings that'll probably trigger some people well the wizard agree with me he loved the property it felt so nice nice Vibe but that building behind the house definitely needs to come down which is why this is here unfortunately I have to go out of town I have a sick family member so I might miss it we'll see I'm kind of filming this as a safety but the excavator has been delivered to knock down the building so we'll see when I get back if it still exists whatever [Music] [Music] foreign foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign well I am very sad that I missed the teardown of the building but family is more important and thankfully Mike was able to come and film some clips of the building getting torn down so big thanks to Mike for doing that for me but look at all the space I have now even though it's five acres the backyard felt really small because of all these buildings and this one being such a hunk of junk right in the middle of it it was just totally useless and an eyesore but now I look out the back of the house and I have this unobstructed view it is so beautiful and I am so very happy I kind of wish I got involved in it pulling it down with the Dodge Ram or I don't know hooking something to Lamborghini and trying to pull it that would have been really stupid but I I wish I was here for it but at least I get to see the results and there's plenty of other things happening on the property I'm beginning to talk to someone about putting up a building the prices there are starting to work on the pond as well so there'll be an update with that some big Venetian fountains making it larger and for more privacy and plenty of other things going on with the hoopties so as always guys thank you so much for watching and check out new hoobies Farm t-shirts there's a pre-order right now I'm getting mine soon and you can get yours
