    Today is an exciting day for the exterior of my fixer upper house!! Jay & I are installing my new DREO porch ceiling fan and it looks amazing! After that, my mom and I are working on cleaning up the pile of stones and building a stone wall!
    Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

    If you finish the porch ceiling with beadboard and paint it light blue like the sky. Its supposed to keep wasps and hornets from building nests.

Abbie you would now understand that the family who works together will stay lovingly close to each other .This week I took a tour a tourer throughout the eastern agriculture areas for 4 days and influenced new friendships and relationships . The rock wall is now a outdoor seat dear .

    If you have any standing water on the property, you can use eco-friendly "pucks" to control mosquitos. I used them in my pond & also installed bat houses on the perimeter of my property & it worked great.

    I can see friends and family using the stone wall to sit on while you host a summer party or fall. Even if it is temporary it can be useful and fun by sitting a pot of beautiful flowers on it. Endless possibilities!!

    Look at you Ms Fancy pants. 👏👏👏
    I am convinced there isnt anything you can’t do. 🤩
    Make a living wall with succulents. I was thinking about that for the bigger river wall. River would be a great backdrop, small stone patio with a bistro table set. Brunch by the river.

    I greatly enjoy watching all this hard work turning a pile of rubble into a very pretty rock wall and I wish I had the strong back to work that way. I love to create but in my late sixties and my back can’t handle picking up heavy things. I’m so happy for you Abby and watching you call your mom “mama” reminds me of when my mom was still here and I spent time with her in her garden. Cherish this forever. Excited for your next phase… priming?! ❤

    Dear Abby and Mom, Bravo👏 on the wall build👏👏👏. Very nice. I'd like to make a suggestion. Incorporate the flower bed to the wall. Then you won't have to mow in the small space. Love how everything is coming together for you. Hugs💞

  • @bernicekingma8348
    @bernicekingma8348 Před 2 měsíci

    You could put white soffit under your porch roof. It would allow for air flow, if the metal roof had condensation. The white would make it brighter. Less spots for bee, wasps to build nests.

    To cut sandstone scribe a deep line, into the Stone and tap it like cutting Glass. Use Mason Chisels and sledgehammers of various sizes. depending on the amount of force need to break the stone. Learnd by doing!

    Good idea for the ceiling fan for the porch. You won't regret it! Your home is going to be fabulous! I particularly love how you and Jay put the piece of leaded glass over the bathroom door upstairs. Keeping what history you can is commendable. I've been watching for a long time, over a year. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the land, it's really a cool location. It would be nice when you can afford to buy the barn next door!

    Abby, you are an inspiration, a role model, an example to ALL young girls & women. I know your mom & dad are so proud of you. Keep up the good work & keep making your 150ish year old house looking more & more beautiful each & every day.

    That's a super "cool" fan (pun intended). It isn't the most expensive one I've seen but it isn't the cheapest either. It will be a welcome addition to your summer outdoor porch activities.
    The wall really looks great.
    I'm looking forward to the upcoming painting episode. Little steps make progress just like the big ones.

  • @sprucingupmayhem
    @sprucingupmayhem Před 2 měsíci

    I love the wall!!! What’s nice is that while you continue to garden and work on the yard you can extend the wall as you need to keep your material in one place for future projects. Even if you choose to leave it though it’s beautiful to look at. I’ve been a subscriber since your very first video and just have to say how much I love your channel and watching this amazing project unfold over the last couple years.

    With all the work you went through with that Stonewall, it would’ve been nice if you would’ve put a small L shaped stone wall at the entrance to your driveway - on either side. Not too close to vehicles, but it would enhance the look of your entrance. Could even put a solar light on either side on top.

  • @piperlynne1
    @piperlynne1 Před 2 měsíci +2

    I could never understand how pushing the air down would cause a breeze and make it cooler in the hot months since heat rises, wouldn't that just push the hot air down over you? And for winter having it move the air upwards wouldn't that just move the colder air from the floor over you and make you feel colder? I have my fan set in the opposite way from what every tells you to do because we have a very small livingroom our fan is in and it works better for us that way. Love your stone wall! I can just see it with some plants in pots on top of it.
