What an incredible view. Beautiful property.
Know that your videos will effect all the people that see ❤
Amazing tour I love this
I love seeing the starting point of your property! It's beautiful and has so much potential. The view from the fire pit area is so pretty. I look forward to seeing what you do with your home in the future.
Thank you so much! There is so much potential, so it's fun and challenging to figure out the possibilities and decide what to do. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂
Hi,what a beautiful property. The house is quite cute and efficient. Love the greenhouse.
Thanks so much! Yeah, I agree, we are in love with it.
You're beautiful 😊 and i like your voice..
This the first video I have watched of your's and I really loved it. I think you have a wonderful place that has plenty of room for when your children grow up and although it might seem that you have many jobs get to it how you want it there will be some to do well before others. You probably already have a list. Securing your house to the ground would be my first job in my opinion. A barrier around the wood stoves would be my second choice, to keep little crawling hands away from a hot fire. I am going to enjoy watching you grow in your garden over time as grass is nitrogen which is good for a garden, so weed block it with a heap of carboard, muich and home made compost over time and grow something where your waste water is pumped to.So many things you already have. I hope to follow what looks like will be so rewarding for you all..
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, we have quite a list of changes and improvements to make. I don't know what it is about wood stoves, but my baby sure loves them and tries to get to them! For now it's alright since we aren't using them, but in the winter we'll for sure need to figure something out.
I'm a beginner gardener so I've got a lot to learn! Please feel free to give tips and advice when you see me doing something that could be improved or done differently.
Thanks again for the comment and for following along. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see in future videos as well! 🙂
Have you used the wood burning oven yet?
That dining room view is gorgeous!
Haha love the bear comments.
I'd love to see just a walkthrough of everything left by the previous owners, and the positives and negatives of having that be apart of the house sale.
The outdoor shower seems so random, but so useful especially with your current scary shower situation. Have you used it yet?
Garden walkthrough please!!
For such a little house, there is so much great entertaining space!
How does the automatic greenhouse windows work?
I appreciate and the love the realness of the house tour, with the kids, and the outfit changes. ❤️
Yes I have! The first time I did, I burned the top of my granola, but after that it's been pretty smooth sailing. I've made granola, biscuits, puff pancakes and a strawberry rhubarb crisp in it. I won't be using it now probably until the fall since we don't need to make fires in the wood stoves.
Honestly I would never again include items in a house sale. It was far too complicated and there were some misunderstandings. We thought it was all clear, but it wasn't. I don't recommend it! Haha
We have used the outdoor shower, mostly for rinsing off after working in the garden or walking around barefoot. I love it for that!
About the greenhouse windows that open, I don't remember exactly, but there's fluid inside hydraulic hinges that expands as it heats up and opens the window. Something like that? 🤷♀️
Glad you liked the tour, thanks so much for the comment! I'll for sure do a garden tour at some point.😊
Amazing “ considering❤
We bought an off grid cabin last year. He just installed solar and now trying to figure out water situation. It’s lots of fun but tons of work.
Oh, that's awesome!! Good for you guys, that sounds like so much work. I feel so blessed we could purchase ours with everything set up already, but it's so worth it to be off grid.
Super interesting and beautiful. How about your fruit trees and perennials?
Thanks! We'll we've got a few apple trees, one we're pretty sure is crabapple and not sure about the others. Time will tell! There's a tree that our plant app says is a plum tree, but it doesn't look like it will bear fruit this year. There are tons of lilies, irises, ferns, lilacs around. There are wild raspberries, strawberries and blueberries in abundance as well, which we are so thankful for! Although we'll have to be more cautious about bears when all the berries are ready
I love the sneak peak of your puppy!
Also that shop is such a great space.
The camper trailer is so cool. What a fantastic addition.
The windows as you walk in provide awesome natural light.
I was going to ask about the ceiling in your loft. So much character to your house. I love it!
That pantry space is to die for.
One of my dream items on a house is to be able to have a window looking out over my property above the kitchen sink. So picturesque
Did the chickens come with the property? Are you going to upgrade the chicken coop?
I was going to ask about the super dirty wall behind the kitchen wood burning stove. Haha didn't realize it was concrete until you said it.
I'll introduce our puppy in another video. She's growing so fast, its crazy!
Three of the chickens came with it and we got 5 after we moved. We will definitely be upgrading the chicken coop situation because we barely get enough eggs for our whole family! We need more chickens. We eat a lot of eggs... your comment about the super dirty wall behind the woodstove made me laugh out loud! Im glad I shared that it was concrete. 😂
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Your Make up is still on the grid

Thanks so much for subscribing! Wow, that sounds amazing. We've traveled a bit in BC and it's just beautiful.
Woods up against the home isn’t good for any “long “ term
The cabin definitely needs new siding boards, the camper van for the guests needs desperate cleaning (the outside really looks dirty), the yard needs cleaning from the overgrown grass and bushes, and the chicken enclosure needs to be redone, too, because at least to me it looks horrible. Sorry for my sincerety, but there are videos of many other people living in the woods permanently and their yards and overall properties look much tidier, neater and well-maintained. This one looks really run-down and not too nice. I don't know you, so I guess you have just moved in, so there's a lot of work ahead of you. Good luck with that.
@danapertile106 Oh, I definitely agree! There's so much to do. It's a bit tricky in our situation, with my husband working away for weeks at a time, I really can't do much yardwork with my baby and toddler, as far as mowing. But he just got home and got a lot done! The outside of the trailer also does need a major cleaning. It's so hard to know what to prioritize when the to do list is endless, but we're chipping away at things. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 🙂
