The Neschizer rebbe treated the walls of his house, which had been home to his father and brother with especial holiness and great love.
In the year 5618 [1867-68], when he was in the town of Kalk, he gave orders that the house in Neschiz should be repaired, because it was getting very old.
When he returned from his trip and saw that the walls had been raised as part of the repair process, he was upset and said that it was not right to move the house.
And regarding the wooden window frames (reimen), he also gave orders not to remove the old ones and make new ones. Rather, where the old ones rotted, he commanded to cut away the rotted part and put a new piece there, and paint them so that the repair would not be noticeable.
