Greetings from Australia! I just stumbled upon your channel and have enjoyed watching this farmhouse restoration, so thanks for sharing :) It's a beautiful property and I'm sure the spirits of the previous owners appreciate the care your Dad is taking to restore it. I like your Dad, Laura. He's very practical and down-to-earth.

Hey Laura, Try putting a few in a blender with some water and liquid dish soap put it in a spray bottle and spray the underside of your plants. Try doing it after sundown. When you make your spices, make sure to keep them dry or bugs will get them. I made a Rita or braid of peppers and didn't know to shellac them and the weavers ate them.

Love the property and the House! Great videos and music. And it was fun being introduced to your dad! He is doing an excellent job so far. I would like to say that in my opinion it would be silly to keep that main floor all closed off with a tiny kitchen etc in the name of authenticity. Plus you need bathrooms of both floors and at least one working fireplace. A more open concept is good for entertaining, watching kids, and a feeling of spaciousness. If there is any thought to resale you have to consider that. Your father is a practical man. I am sure that he will do something tasteful. All the best. Looking forward to more installments of this great project.

Thank you for showing us the progress on your dad's beautiful farmhouse and land. You get to be a part of something that has always been my dream. Grew up with my grandparents and always wanted to spiff up their place, our old family farmhouse, barns, and outhouses with awesome treasures inside. (Didn't get that chance b/c I moved to another country, lol.) So these videos are special stuff. I will say, I bet that the people who left those things in the cupboard on the porch would giggle at you liking it all so much. I know my grandma would. (I like all that stuff too.) Also, one other thing: Thank you for telling us you get a little "kick back" from KZbin if we watch the ads and dont click to skip them. If I am understanding that correctly, I didn't know that. (Usu, I skip them.) So now, I let the ads run more often. Lol :)

I know in many areas bee keepers are willing to come and remove the bees for free. You might look into having that done for the long term. Or, if you want to keep them for the farm, you could have them rehomed into bee boxes but that's a little more difficult since they tend to want to come back to their "home."
@LifeofLauraVideos6 жыл бұрын
yes! for now we're leaving them alone, they havent bothered us at all. And upon further research we found out that they are actually beneficial bees that eat bad bugs like flies.

Thank you for sharing this journey with us! I am enjoying it so much. I don't know if this is done in the south, but in New England, most old farmhouses have sky blue porch ceilings. The reason was when barn swallows see the blue ceiling, they think it's the sky and go elsewhere to build their nests.
