Lintel Replacement in Historic Masonry
Join us as we restore history and preserve the technologies and materials that made our civilization great!
History is inspiration. It is pride. It is dignity. The finest attributes of civilization. Without them, we descend into barbarism. The world is cloaked in the darkness of feudalism. We must take back our history from those who despise us and our predecessors! Bitter cat ladies and hipsters should not be permitted to monopolize the interpretation of our history.
On this channel, our objective is to encourage the preservation of the history and the hope which we inherited from three thousand years of Western Civilization. We will do this through visiting forgotten and neglected historic sites, showing how one with a low budget can preserve history, and giving brief tutorials on different aspects of the historic trades that can easily be learned and replicated.
