BASEMENT DECLUTTER! Got rid of so much 😍 plus treating plants for pest

[@deborahwideman8057]

The frame that you are giving away that has a place for different pictures; you could put your grandma's note and some of your daughters notes in that frame; any left over areas in the frame you can put a picture of your grandma and your girls. I would hang it somewhere in the house. You can put a nail on each side of the mirror and then get some wire at Walmart to hang around the nails. They have wire that will hold up to 35 pounds, and then you can hang it with an anchor. This is how I hang my vintage mirrors.

[@joycefernandezbaham8380]

Mom is the heart of the family. That’s why they all congregate where you are.❤❤❤

[@MindysPlace]

Insecticidal soap should work for the spidermites, it worked for my roses. I killed all of my houseplants years ago when we had our water softener installed, so we had a faucet installed in the basement just for plants. So happy I can grow things now. Hope your plants recover.

[@hellosteph9206]

20:40 the mirror you can use a French cleat hook! I just used one to hang an antique heavy mirror - you would have to attach it up high to screw into the wooden frame, and just use short screws so it doesn't go all the way through. It would look so pretty in a half bath or entryway!

[@haileemichael]

You made me laugh when I heard your squirrel baby voice! hahahahahaha so cute! I think that is the best part of all of your videos IMO.

[@gbanksky]

Yes! Use a French cleat to hang a heavy mirror. Hang it in the basement between the tv and the wall and then under it put your Dunn sign that your friend made. You’ll be storing it and enjoying it as well!😊

[@joycefernandezbaham8380]

I think your basement declutter was the first video that I saw of yours. I’m still here. You have done a great job keeping it up.

[@ingmariohman8242]

I have always hung a mirror close to my front door. It is easy to put some small hooks on the back of the mirror, with a metal wire.

[@rosalieposey6585]

Omg I'm so excited to watch this my favorite videos are the basement declutters.

[@barbstormo7030]

Great job decluttering! We have been doing a lot of cleaning and decluttering. So far we have taken a load to the dump of broken things. Yesterday a load went to Goodwill! It feels so good. I am going to finish my upstairs today. I am so excited to be done! Sorry, I don't know anything about plants. I hope you get things figured out for your beautiful plants! I hope you have a great week!

[@AliciaBakerLeashy]

Mirror: metal brackets and picture wire... nail into the stud so it doesn't fall down. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tueywladavis3502]

Put one of those wire hanging kits on the mirror. Love the mirror. I would keep the mirror just in case you ever sale the dresser and you would have it.

[@keelienne]

I love that mirror, how beautiful she is! 😍 I’m an absolute diy-gal, but I would bring her to a professional to put on a wire on the back. No projects for me this week, I’m spending all my time and money at the local vets atm. My old dog is really down, and I fear for the worst.. 😔

[@tonitorres1593]

Hi jodi ❤ Don't get rid of the mirror you're going to regret it they don't make them like they used to. Go to Lows, they will help you. Hope you're having a great year so far.❤😊

[@SharaLee60]

Happy New Year, Jodi & family!!! Yes, it's nice to get the things out of the house that you're giving away! Funny, your whole family coming downstairs to be with you, even Flash & Tom too! So cute with cutie outside & it looks cold! For the mirror, I would put some strong eye hooks on the back & heavy duty wire. That should hold it. Also, put 1 or 2 wall hooks, then hang the mirror carefully on them. About your plants. I have the same problem. I usually underwater, but I get yellow leaves either way! So I might have spidermites, too. I don't have too many plants at the moment! I did have a porthus climbing one that I had & it was almost all around the room up on the wall with hooks close to the ceiling! It was so good for a while, but then it started getting yellow leaves & did fall off. It was bare leaves from the main plant til about halfway to the ones towards the end & they looked great. So I finally cut them off & made 2 plants, cut the bad part out. They were fine for awhile, but then they started yellowing again. So I don't know what to do. They finally died. Maybe I had spidermites too! I'm going to get some new plants here when spring comes! Maybe humidifiers would help! I'll try & get one when I get my plants! Your basement is looking better, & when you do it more, it'll look even better in the next video. I love your basement videos! I need to take my Christmas tree & other decor down. I just haven't had the patience or energy to do it! Donna Jean is looking so grown up & pretty! Thanks for sharing! ❤️😉🫂🐾🌹🦋📓✏️🇺🇲🎨🖌✨️

[@rg-mi5hh]

Wehave been decluttering our basementin small chunks of time. It is so much better. It just takes time.

[@edieboudreau9637]

Morning, Jodi😊 I'll be back. EFIT... BACK.. CORDS look like go to DVD PLAYER. ....yes. everyone wants to be there when you clean/ declutter because they're afraid you'll throw out something they want. 😆 I FINALLY got the carpet completely up... except what's under the heavy furniture pieces I can't move . ... Swept and cleaned the hardwood underneath. Looks like someone used a paint sprayer all over 1 section of the floor. Plus 3 coax cable holes not even near each other. Next up, reorganize and replace everything BEFORE my son comes home from Thailand missions trip. All while waiting for power to get knocked out during expected ice storm .... Which ended up not being as bad as expected. No power loss. Found a single canning jar that had popped it's lid. Which occasionally happens - I think some dill weed ended up between lid and jar even after wiping down before canning. So 1 out of 5 identical jars had a problem. It happens sometimes. Plants, spider mites.... They can come in on pets, too and get spread that way. Treat and "bag isolate" each plant individually to remove the spider mites.

[@leekasten3549]

I have had spider mites on my plants I brought inside for the winter and I used water with the blue Dawn soap in a spray bottle. It seems like it’s working! 😊

[@donnaott4373]

Always good to see you...I love seeing my mom and grandmas writing also❤

[@tiinakari1531]

I enjoy watching your videos, you have a nice laugh.

[@barbarabaldwin8922]

Kitty is just putting her scent on those easter baskets.

[@paularoyer-azizi5354]

Mirror is beautiful ❤

[@GoingGreenMom]

We have had spider mites, but more on the cactus and citrus tree..... on those it looks scaley on the succulents and the citrus tree gets little white dots on the leaves where they suck out the chlorophyll or whatever. The others get webs (peace lily, one of these trailing things, spider plants, etc), but that is because I wound up with gnats and actual spiders showed up. Those all go through a bit of a molt every once in awhile but I believe that is more of a dormancy wintertime thing. I try to clean them up and let them be for a bit then fertilize.

[@GoingGreenMom]

The citrus and succulents do get webs, but much smaller webs than the other plants that live in my bathroom. Almost like if you weren't looking you wouldn't see it between the thorns and the stem.

[@adriennenelson759]

We spent last weekend emptying out under our basement stairs and shuffling storage bins into the garage and then refilling the storage area with things to stay inside. We are preparing for baby #3 near the end of March and I am feeling the time crunch SO hard. We are swapping our bedroom with our play room, so there is that monumental task - moving all the contents of both rooms, painting, cleaning, decluttering...then finally preparing the nursery. I sure hope we can get it done by the time she arrives, but I am already so tired.

[@paulinopreciado88]

Looks good. I want to see everything inside

[@joycefernandezbaham8380]

Happy New Year Jodi❤

[@michelemm1121]

Jodi, plants like humidifier, put one buy your plants ❤

[@pamelamacellven9976]

I have several pathos and if I don't water them weekly then the leaves will turn yellow, I just take them off and it gets better, never had spider mites.

[@brendaspencer6691]

I just got done cleaning and organizing!

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Great job, Jodi! Hope you had a great New Year! Hugs to all! 💙💙💙💙🦁🦁🦁🦁👍🥰

[@patgraceffa9984]

Gosh, sometimes I think where does Jodi get all her energy from. It was kind of nice for me to hear you say your motivation was lacking a little this week because mine has too. You made me feel like, hey, that's OK. It happens sometimes. Love your videos. ❤

[@joannearonetz7527]

Happy New Year to you and yours ❤🎉 from New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦 can't wait to see your garden grow Jodi ❤

[@joycefernandezbaham8380]

I am crochet a new blanket for my youngest granddaughter. She is 7 years old. She asked me for a new blanket so of course I’m making it for her.

[@noreenp.9858]

Happy New Year, Jodi! I get more done in the house when I’m by myself too. The time does go by quickly, but I feel I get so much more accomplished. You’re right about getting rid of things the second or third time around. It is so much easier. The one thing I’m determined to do is get rid of anything cardboard because it just breaks down and just doesn’t look nice. I’ve invested in some bins and reused some I had and it looks much nicer. Isn’t it amazing how much stuff we accumulate, lol? I have a card to me in my mother’s handwriting that I deeply cherish. She’s been gone for 30 years. I’m currently putting cookbooks together for my two grown children that includes recipes in their grandparents handwriting. I added pictures of the food items as well as when they were little helping me bake. It is really turning out well. Can you let me know the link to that cutting board? It would be a nice addition to the cookbook. I’ve seen older heavy mirrors, hung with a wire attached to two screws on each side of the back of the mirror. It balances out the weight without having it hung on one screw.

[@joycefernandezbaham8380]

Maybe you could put a wire picture hanger on the back of the mirror. It’s very beautiful

[@3boymama]

We put our wooden name sign downstairs in the T.V. room. I'd put the mirror anyplace you're exiting and entering from outside, or in the hall upstairs.

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

I already have a mirror in the hall up stairs. I have ideas of where to put it just have to figure out how to get it hangable ❤️

[@tueywladavis3502]

Every so often I set my plants in the shower and give my plants a good wash off and through watering. Let them set until they drain good and the leaves most dried. I have never had spider mites. Hope your plants get better soon.

[@terryruiz7417]

I wonder if plants are just objecting to dry climate? It's that time of year, and lighting will be different with winter here. Since you saw nothing...oh, a bit of leaf damage...cat attack? I get concerned when I bring a new plant home, looks fine, then later realize something hitchhiked along in soil. I need to start keeping new plants separate until they prove healthy. Boston ferns, really bad!

[@patpalmer1337]

Pothos leaves often turn yellow primarily due to overwatering, which leads to root rot and prevents the roots from properly absorbing water, causing the leaves to yellow; other potential causes include inadequate light, poor drainage, extreme temperature changes, or simply the natural aging process of older leaves on the plant.

[@CynthiaMiller-cc3qj]

I love your basement declutters! Hope your plants recover soon.

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Thank you Cynthia 🤗

[@lisafitzpatrick885]

Happy new year. Ask a woodworker & see what they say bc I'm sure they know. Someone's husband u know might know how do do it. Love when u declutter. Your "Dunn" woodframe just hang up in basement so at least u can enjoy it.

[@pamelamacellven9976]

You should be able to put a hanging wire on the back if you have two small hangers on each side of the picture frame back

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

I do not have two small hangers on each side, unfortunately. So I’ll have to figure something else out

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

This is what I need to be!!! I will follow for more.

[@barbarabaldwin8922]

Since I took down my xmas decorations, I have been decluttering my basement. I am trying to clear out a corner in my basement to set up a shelving unit or two. I decluttered about 7-8 bags of donations. I even decluttered a set of glasses/wine glasses/mugs. Then of course, I bought a set of stemless wine glasses (that I wanted) and a set of everyday glasses that I wanted (the other one's were from my sister and from my in-laws that we bought our house from).

[@darkgoddess72]

Got pothos because those are one of the easiest plants to care for. Apparently not so easy here. After going through many soils and lots of frustration, settled on water. They are beautiful and thriving. Not for everyone i get it but water did the trick. Just replace water once a week. No pests, fungus, mold and everything other issue.

[@wyattperry557]

Love the follow through on donations!

[@jaynecrews2778]

I have been working on decluttering my basement since Nov. 1st. Coming to the end. Have a couple pieces of furniture and 20 empty plastic containers i want to sell and then I will be done. Glad I am almost done.

[@kirstybrown2480]

Hey, how are you doing? Thank you for the video. Always love a good decluttering video.

[@leekasten3549]

Keep the mirror please! It is beautiful! I don’t think you should break up the vanity set. Maybe in the future she would like them together. You can always stand it up on a table. Just my suggestions. Happy New Year to everyone! 🤗

I have been working for the last few days maybe even the past week scanning all past tax documents, family history on my mom and dad side of the family. plus, i have been cleaning out my closet mostly looking for the floor, I have found many a treasures, pairing down on my clothes, shoes what have you.

[@luvstocoupontoo6203]

Over watering causes leaves to turn yellow and can cause root rot especially potho plants. They do not require much water

[@madzabinga8382]

Hey! Ok, this is a dumb question, but could it be that the window area is too cold for the plants?

[@karencoin5933]

Ive had spider mites & sprayed them with a mixture like you mentioned & it worked well. I have been fighting fungus gnats since October! What a nightmare they are!!!

[@sorokabarr8825]

I once had fungus gnats. I tried everything including mosquito bits and need. What worked for me was covering soil with small gravel (used in fish tanks) about an inch deep. I then sprain with Raid (I'm in uk) Fly killer. Worker a treat!!!

[@sorokabarr8825]

[@jessie551]

For the mirror: Take it to a professional framer. Most art stores have a framing department. They will install the professional hardware that you need based on the weight of the mirror. When you bring it home, make sure you drill into a stud to hang it. Don't just use a nail, use proper picture hardware. :)

[@sondrasix1668]

Loved the video. Thank you so sharing the squirrel and birds. 🐿️🦜. My Husband got Birds for Christmas. I’m scared to death of birds. But these ones are amazing. I’m highly allergic to them. And my HUSBAND WITH ALL THATS WRONG WITH HIM is making him sick. I feel so bad for him. He loves them. I have to find a home for them. We have all been sick over here. Christmas things are down. That that’s pretty much it . Awesome video . I so enjoy watching 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵😊
