EMPTY HOUSE TOUR!!! // Welcome to Our New Home!!!

[@myosotis555]

Coming from Europe, it is so fascinating to see how the houses are structured in Canada and which features they have (bedrooms in the basement, heated garage😮 ). So curious to follow the journey on the renovations.

[@strawberry5564]

I always wonder about their bills for electricty, gas and water for such big space Like what, i give half of my salary for that

[@strawberry5564]

For 50sqm 😂

[@Nick-ei8lt]

Straw Berry I live in a 1500sqft 3 bed 2 bath home. Roughly the same sqft of theirs. My electric bill is roughly $100 a month keeping my air at 67 in the summer and 73-74 in the winter. My gas bill is roughly $30 a month and my water bill is accumulated every three months and is about $50 a month. $180 for all three bills at the same sq footage. I’m in the US so I don’t know how Canada works, but if those three bills of your are half your salary I would look for leaks and you bills to make sure you’re only using your power. I should also add I’m a family of 4 plus 3 dogs.

[@shwacp0809]

Straw Berry it really depends on where you live in Canada. It varies DRASTICALLY. Closer to the bigger cities (Toronto, Vancouver..) it’s extremely expensive. I live about an hour outside of Toronto and the cost of living is very expensive, especially compared to the average income. More rural areas are usually more affordable. Canada is such a massive place, it’s really impossible to lump it all together 🤷‍♀️

Well, i live in croatia 😂

@@alyssa6291 Sweetest comment!

[@shwacp0809]

Hey Delilah, if you want to put a garden in next year I highly recommend you rip all the stuff out and get your soil prepped (and then mulched) before your ground freezes. That way you can get started as early as possible in the spring! Because you have such a short growing season you really don’t want to eat up precious time getting the garden ready! You can throw raked leaves over the soil to protect it over the winter AND it will compost and add lots of good organic material to the soil to enrich it in the spring :) just turn it into the soil when the ground thaws!! Good luck💗 the house is beautiful!!!

[@LoeppkysLife]

Sarah Cyr thanks for the advice! We’ll be clearing the garden tomorrow!

[@_commonthread]

As a side note, it might be worth throwing down some sort of netting to keep the neighbourhood cats from doing their business in your garden once it’s all dug up (I speak from experience 🤢).

[@awildandsimplelife]

Awesome tips Sarah!

I'm so happy for you guys!! The house looks amazing 👌

[@leahsinclair111]

The quickest I’ve ever clicked on a video! I’m soo happy for you all !!

[@nawoodshop2206]

Right??!!!

[@cherandkev]

Your so blessed to have such a gorgeous home. You could use the kid's favorite place downstairs as the playroom for now and use the upstairs room as your dining room instead of their playroom. There you can have your dining room. Just a beautiful home, so happy for you all. God bless hun, and enjoy the renovations.

[@Ambzx]

Yeah I would use the “playroom” in the beginning as the dining room and then the little “dining room” in the kitchen as a little playroom. Because the kids can be around you playing while you cook. I remember that I never used my playroom as a kid and always brought my toys to where my mom was “busy” so I could have her company.

[@toshadreams1848]

Very good idea!

[@Gracielooks]

Amber Fox good idea 😀

[@icy.diamond]

That’s be an awesome idea

[@ang_131]

I don’t think that will fly. With kids as young as theirs, they really need to be on the same level as a parent. They have a lower level playroom in their current house and they often lament that they can’t keep all the toys upstairs where they’d get more use.

[@catherineholborn1605]

I feel like I am more excited about seeing your new house than I was for ours when we bought it

[@Taylorocsh]

I wanna see more of 9:28 "you". By no means am I insulting you but I love to see your humor unedited :D

[@_commonthread]

So exciting! Congratulations to your family!!! I sort of laughed at the in ground pool knowing just how long and cold your winters are! One idea (which I’m sure you have thought of) maybe put the toy room into the attached dining area so you can see the kids from the kitchen and the living room, and then use the larger dining area/bonus room for dining? Congrats again!!!

[@bananacreampie28]

I like that idea!

[@crimedelacreeme]

this. is. my. dream. home. So so so happy for the four of you! You all deserve this, and I know you worked so hard for this. ♥

[@kristengardner9505]

The big tree is a norfolk pine. That's the biggest one I've seen indoors!

[@gracestallman2379]

My husband has one that is 9 feet tall but it is much more sparse. It's his baby, lol.

[@katpihlaja]

Should they harden it off and plant it outside? Or do they typically live indoors?

[@kristengardner9505]

@@katpihlaja I think it's possible for them to live outdoors, but it depends on the climate.

[@jdubmac]

Feel free to trim it...it will get bushier. And they really like routine in watering, not too much direct light. I rescued a 9 inch one at Christmas 1995, named him Adolf, and he has moved with me 4 times now.

[@wanderluster3905]

The house is aesthetically outdated but SOO MUCH POTENTIAL! Good for you. I find renos annoying (currently amidst renos myself) but it’s so worth it to personalize it and make it the way you want it.

[@manuela.2]

I won’t be living there but I also want the red room gone so bad 😂

[@monamorgan8614]

Paint the cabinets in the kitchen, since your remodeling later anyway, it makes a huge difference. Its a very pretty home.

[@madisonmckee5954]

Consider a pool security system! My friend’s son ran out to the pool while he was being babysat and drowned. Luckily he is still alive but he lost most of his cognitive ability. Please don’t take offense to this, I don’t want you to think I’m mom shaming or anything! Just sharing some experience to maybe help prevent anything like this from happening to anyone else’s baby!

[@madisonmckee5954]

He can’t talk, walk, eat, anything anymore..

[@liezasims4164]

I've heard so many horror stories like this... So sad 🥺

[@mariefalzoine4873]

I suggest seeking out a company that has people who are CPO certified. They are trained on safety of pools and hot tubs. They have heard the horror stories and have the solutions.

[@swimminglyhelen]

Yeah as a lifeguard, I totally agree. Australia now has legislation like New Zealand. It is so important, it is so, so tragically common for young children to drown in home swimming pools, and a waterslide adds another very significant element of risk. I am so sorry about your friend's son, Madison, that's awful. I imagine it would be horrific to try and forgive yourself for something so preventable.

[@TwistedBlonde]

Nova Scotia also makes you put a fence around pools

[@jasmincleo]

I cannot wait for the Reno’s to begin ! Even just the paint for now. The house will look so different in neutral colours ! How exciting 💕

[@shelbys2750]

Such a beautiful, spacious house; but a surprisingly small yard.

[@shwacp0809]

Shelby S or is it just a surprisingly massive pool??

[@KathrineAnnVlogs]

Don't gut the kitchen cabinets! They look like they are in really good condition. You can paint them. @MeetKevin has some really good (older) videos on painting cabinets that you should totally check out❤ love the house btw

[@medallo143]

I agree, and painting cabinets is relatively easy, just takes some time because you have to take the doors off and let the parts dry in between coats.

[@ivydunbar]

AAAAH It's so pretty! So proud of you guys growing as a channel and a family!

[@darkkstar]

My gosh, I haven't been told this before by alot of people but I am very old fashioned... I personally LOVE that house and Im only 20... the only thing I would change is the paint in the bedrooms 🥰 So cozy, so spacious, so much light.... Beautiful, what else can I say...

[@rianneprystupa]

Had a good chuckle when your brought us to your “red room” 🤣

[@shwacp0809]

Rianne Prystupa me too!! And I also felt terrible for them 😂😂 our last apartment had a bathroom that EXACT red and it took so many coats of primer and paint to cover it... and even when we moved out I still saw little pieces of red poking through lol

*redrum 😂

[@rianneprystupa]

Maybe I’m the only one here, but I was thinking of 50 Shades of Grey 😂

[@Elizkleincaz]

1/2 bath/powder room is just sink and toilet. 3 piece bath is usually a sink, toilet and shower. 4 piece bath is sink, toilet, shower, and bathtub. There are variations of this, obviously, but I usually consider anything over a 3 piece bath a full bathroom

[@victoriaraye1727]

there’s sooo much more room compared to your old house. im so happy for you guys!

SO exciting! Hoping for 3 brs in our next house! As an Arizona native, I highly, highly HIGHLY encourage your to get a gate for around your pool. My mother is an ER nurse, and just being from Arizona where pools are SO common, there are just too many instances of children drowning by pool related accidents. It only takes a split second for it to happen.

[@abigailknott5998]

@Peanut it is slang. The best way I can define it is calm. Instead of "this is my dream home" where it could be read as being super excited and over hyper, the low-key is meant to add a sense of chillness.

[@livmae132]

The house is lovely! To add a bit more dining room space you could always build bench seating underneath the windows and have chair on the other side - that way you can squeeze more people in! X

[@vintage4youandme]

I think it's so funny how you talk about a rather old home being build in 1965, whereas here in The Netherlands you call a home old when its build before the war, and a lot of houses are even built long before that. It just shows the differences in cultures, which I love about youtube :)

[@Gracielooks]

Same in Ireland. 60s built is a modern style here. 😀 I’m in a 30s built home and it’s sort of considered old!

[@daniellehayward]

I was thinking this. Our house in the UK was built in 1900 and it's definitely not the oldest in our area 🤣

[@sleazement]

Congratulations!! In Australia it's illegal to have a pool without a fence around it because of how dangerous it is for kids. My sister almost drowned as a kid cause she slipped under the pool cover when my parents didn't see and it was so quiet - it was only because a family friend saw her that she was pulled out. So please please please consider getting a fence around the pool!!

[@cassiefinnerty8426]

I was just about to comment this from Australia too and it worries me so much seeing pools without fences.

[@liezasims4164]

I live in America and I don't think I've ever seen a pool with a fence around it unless it was public and those are only to keep people out who don't pay 😳 I've heard so many horror stories of kids drowning

[@ang_131]

Not just Australia! But in Canada it’s often a municipal issue. The city I live in requires a fence around pools. But it may be that where she is in SK does not. If I was them, I’d install one ASAP. Or, they could add a fence and gate for that little side yard behind the pool house and that would be one safe place they could leave the kids for a minute if they needed to run into the house. Similarly, they could put railings and gate on the deck to enclose it, too.

[@lizantunez3783]

I’ve never seen a pool with a fence around it in homes here in America. Fences are usually reserved for public pools

[@jcamp7421]

In Minnesota where I live it is a law that pools have to be fenced in. I believe it is a state by state choice in the US. I definitely was nervous when I saw the pool.

About the lattice fence, I have one of those in my community garden, and we chose morning glories to plant around it. If you do not know, morning glories are flowering vines that come in all sorts of colours and I highly recommend them for any kind of vine use. I live in a slightly warmer area than you, but not by much, and although they are not perennials, they have so many seeds they might as well be. I highly recommend.
