  • After 3 years at this house that was once abandoned, we learned a few lessons the hard way. During this episode, we install a 24000btu ductless mini split to help alleviate some of the winter stresses of only heating with wood.

    I found your channel way back when you were renovating the travel trailer. I think you have the sweetest family! Following you along this journey of moving into an abandoned house and making it a home has been a joy to watch. I still can't get over the fact you built your own kitchen cabinets without ever doing it before. They look fantastic and the green is beautiful! You and Philip are making a beautiful home!

    When we bought our house 4 years ago, we only had 3 working baseboard heaters and a woodstove downstairs and one upstairs which we couldn't use because the door swung out past the hearth and wasn't legal. We nearly froze LOL. We had a propane furnace installed and that first year even with using the woodstove downstairs, it was still cold. We needed an air-conditioned and the company that installed our furnace suggested a heat pump. WE LOVE IT. We live in middle part of Ontario, we do have cold winters, -30 at times. Can get to - 40 too. Since installing our heat pump, we haven't had the propane furnace coming on at all! Except for the dryer and kitchen stove - we don't use propane!! Our heat pump is installed into our furnace, so runs with our ducts.
    Love you videos!!

      Not only that, it helps keeping costs at a more manageable level (although we can’t exactly control the fluctuations in the energy market, it could have been much worse had a heat pump not been used at all)

    *CONGRATULATIONS on your new heat pump‼️😊 You did a wonderful job installing it, and it looks good there on the wall, too. 😊 Have you considered making the hood over your stove in the wood herringbone finish to match your island, instead of being green like the cabinets? Also, did you finish the plumbing and enclosing the ceiling in the pantry, now that your bathroom is finished?*

    NOT A HEAT PUMP😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
    Yes, you absolutely need to have a back up heat source you can count on. I live in Daytona Beach Florida. We have a heat pump. When lightning struck & killed our AC, I told the repair guy to take out the worthless heat pumps and install central heat. Did the idiot listen to me? Heck no. Another worthless heat pump. When it gets cold here we are talking 32°F. Usually not more than 3 weeks of it. Does not matter how high we set the thermostat we can only get the house temp to 66°F. Too cold for old folks. Researched heat pumps. They allegedly take the hot air outside, heat it up then let it loose in the home. With freezing temps there is NO hot air outside. Hope yours works! Am quite interested to see how you fare with yours. If it works, plan to switch my lousy one for your brand!👍👍

      Also that is not how heat pumps work. Go watch a youtube video to learn the science behind it. Unless it is absolute zero outside (-273.13 degrees celsius/-460 degrees Fahrenheit) then there is "warmth" in the air.
