Hi @SandraRice-hx3jk are you asking about roof or seeping at the floor? I'll try to answer both. For the roof, we were fortunate to have sound shingles in place. We addressed water seepage by digging around the base and coating with hydroponic cement. We also created a slight grade away from the shed on the problematic side where water tended to pool. Probably could do more by way of drainage, but it was a quick effort with what we had on hand and it has been holding up well.

@paulmonk7820 Thanks great tip! Definitely adding that to the bank of things we've learned doing this little project.

Glad you like it!

@@Butchandbellesvilla can we get an update?

Hope you get to check it out some day soon:) Thanks for watching!

That's because Phoenicia isn't upstate. They messed up the location. Its actually in downstate NY. It's 3 counties up from NY's southern border.

For sure @davefreeman1499 .

De nada. Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado. Espero que visites algún día.

Thanks DHV! My wife has a great sense of humor 😁

So glad you enjoyed our video…thanks for watching and subscribing!! Just subbed to your channel and about to binge watch your content:) Blessings!! 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you very much! ❤️

We’re so glad you watched and found it useful! Xoxo Belle

Thanks for sharing. Glad you have those wonderful memories❣️

💯 Love it up here! We don’t miss NYC at all. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@Butchandbellesvilla I am originally from New York city to much drama I agree with you 💯

@@zeth8300 Thanks for watching. ☺️

@Butchandbellesvilla you very welcome do more vids about upstate n.y

Hi @Fiatfan , the repairs required to restore the car to a safe, reliable driving machine made replacing it a more prudent option for us. Looking forward to 400k+ with the next one 😀...Butch

I know the feeling, had to get rid of an E46 (aka 328 ci) that had almost 200k on it a few years ago. Beamers are built like tanks; what other car can you find that gives you over 300k!! What did you end up getting for the replacement?

@@DiscoverHudsonValley we replaced it with a younger version of the same model. It's great knowing how to load it (inside and on top). Also, just a great vehicle when it's mechanically sound.

Didn't actually need it for this temporary patch but thanks for the tip!

Nice! I’m sure you have cool memories. Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of your summer. Blessings.

Z-flashing would definitely have been the way to go for that seam, however this was a short term aesthetic repair. We figured since we had the extra t1-11 from replacing the entire side that we were cutting a window into we might as well patch this piece until we get to the bigger fix. Thanks for watching.

Thank you! Dogs are great companions❣️

Ahhh, the Finger Lakes…gorgeous!! New York is incredible! So glad we were born and raised here🥰 Hope you come back soon 🙏🏽

Right!!?! That sesame pizza crust is something special! 👌🏽 Glad you enjoyed your meal. Have a fun, safe summer!

All of NY state is pretty like that. Lots of little towns.

@LimitlessThinker 💯❣️

Hope you make it there soon. The weather has been wonderful! Thanks for watching and commenting, friend.

That must’ve been cool! Thanks for watching and commenting.

I use to watch movies there in the 40's and 50's Good memories

Did YT do that to us!!? Argh! Then when folks click off, they’ll say the vid retention was low 🤣

Ditto! 😊

Then you must be a depressed nut job ny is boring as heck

LIC has a nice vibe. Thanks for watching, friend! We’ll start posting videos soon. Please sub so we can chat again:)

@@Butchandbellesvilla Your welcome

It’s an adorable town! We love the entire Hudson Valley. Hope you can visit soon 🙏🏽

Hi! Thanks for identifying the chives! I’m excited for spring and discovering all the plants that pop up over time. We have four pear trees that didn’t bloom due to the drought we experienced in summer. Praying they make a full recovery. Please keep watching and help me ID more plants:) God bless! Xoxo Belle

@@Butchandbellesvilla They will come up every spring especially if you mulch them over winter with just dead leaves or whatever. Let the blossoms dry out on the stem then you can shake the tiny black seeds out. You don’t even have to dig to plant them just take a stick and drag it back and forth across the soil near the original plant and just toss some of the seeds out and they’ll take root. The original plant helps protect them you can also spread them in new places as well. They like lots of water and shade/partial sun. Hot weather is hard on the plant. They do well in pots which can be moved to shady spots when it’s warmer. I love your beautiful stone home. I especially love the beautiful nostalgic grounds. ❤️

@@reginakasakevics7891 Thank you so much! Grateful for all advice. We didn’t mulch, but the property was abandoned for years and not tended to before that so the plants must be hardy to have survived neglect. I’ll mulch in the future and also start spreading those seeds around! Love the look of chives in garden beds...very architectural.

Thank you! Yeah, it’s very solid..well built. I found a 5 foot commercial wreath to ‘crown’ it for the holidays. Think we’ll leave it up year round. Happy new year to you and thanks for watching!

Thank you for joining us!!! We’ll begin recording again soon. Hope you stick with us! God bless.

Thank you, Tom! Didn’t know about the sleigh mittens...very cool! Have a great 2023! 🙏🏽

It’s great up here! Our property is on the Esopus Creek, but we haven’t had the chance to fish or dip our toes yet...we had sooo much clean up work our first few months. Looking forward to our 2nd Summer 👍🏽 Will check out Catskill Kaleidoscope...thanks for the tip. Happy new year to you! We’ll start making vids again soon. Hope you subscribe:)

Hi, Kae! Just subbed to your channel. Hope you post more of your beautiful music.❣️ I’ll give you a tour of the inside during one of your day trips.

@@Butchandbellesvilla That song was recorded very lo-fi; I'm working on making my music recordings at least medium-fi ;) I would love a tour and to meet you both! Perhaps this coming spring or summer when, hopefully, it's safer to be around people again. My husband has some health issues and we must be very careful (plus he's very shy). You both seem very cool, too! I'll be watching your channel for updates in the meantime. Happy Holidays!!!

@@kaesmithmusic Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you too. I pray your hubby is blessed with a miraculous turn around in his health. Shy people are the best people! 🙏🏽

Hi Chris, yes, tubing is a big attraction. We haven't done it yet...maybe next season. Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for watching.

@@Butchandbellesvilla thank for the reply and warm wishes. Hope you have a happy holiday too!!

@@chrisk5651 Thank you! 🎄🙏🏽

You're 100%, especially with the raid and snow we get, however, we plan to replace the entire siding next season. Since we had left over from redoing a whole side, we just wanted to eliminate that ugly spot and eliminate penetration until then. Thanks and don't hesitate to advise 🙂@LM

Thank you!! 🥰

Hi! So glad you enjoyed...wish you were there!! This small town is insane🤣 I’m a lifelong NY city girl and could never imagine not missing it. Checked out your channel...just subbed! Maybe I’ll post more nights out. Please sub😘

You’re always welcome!! 🥰😘

Glad you love it as well❣️😘

You made his year!! 🥰 xoxo

I know...the desk/dresser!! Kicked myself for passing on that even though we have a larger version. Went back next day-gone:(

Nope. NUTZ!!

Boy bye!! 👋🏽

🤣😂🤣😂
