    I’ve lived in an old house all my life(mine was built in 1900) and here are a couple tips I’ve learned.
    1. Always have house shoes because you never know when you’re going to get a splinter(I hate splinters)
    2. Be prepared to fix things(as I’m sure you already are 😊). My dad had to learn how to snake our toilet growing up.
    3. There will be creaking
    4. Always have flashlights/batteries in case of a power outage.
    5. Creatures may find their way into your house or attic.

    I'm so excited for you...what an incredible journey you're on. We had a similar situation to yours at the end of 2019 -- our landlord decided he wanted the farmhouse we were renting for his migrant workers. We'd lived there for 7 years, had a flock of hens, a huge garden...basically we were emotionally and financially invested. Pffft. 60 days to find somewhere to live. Cue the biggest living nightmare. Long story short - we found a little house to buy and it was the best thing out of the truly worst thing. So your story is hugely relatable!
    Glad you're getting rid of the paneling -- as a child of the 80s, in Canada, I can tell you, you don't want to be living in the embodiment of all that was wrong with Canadian 80s decor 😆. The Wayne's World Basement aesthetic should never be allowed to return. Also - I'm glad you love your Hunter wellies....but if I could suggest you find your nearest feed store, you'll get far hardier outdoor clothing at far more reasonable prices. 😉

    It's one thing for someone to give you their opinion on what you should/shouldn't do, but when it's strangers on the internet demanding you keep your house a certain way you do have to worry a little.

    I love when you started showing things that you bought and I understand the boots since you are close to a river, then you pulled out the "UGLY" Crocs! I have been wearing Crocs for over 39 years now, both lined and unlined. I have both real Crocs and FAKE Crocs. They are wonderful for inside and outside. When they get dirty you just throw them in the washer and they come out like new!! Next the 2 chairs that you bought are Plank Bottom chairs which fit perfect in your house. Next are the Half Tables which my Grandmother had in her house and I have them now. Plus when my husbands' parents died and we moved in this house, there were 5 of those tables here. They are perfect to have at the end of chairs or sofas (that's why there are short) and perfect to sit against a wall. Your microwave is to die for. It's just too cute! I am loving your videos!!!

    The boots are so cute, and it's so lovely that you get to use them to tromp around your very own river!! Can't wait to continue following along with this journey!
