Fixing that leak, odd jobs and a chatty catch up 😊

[@amypapenhausen8970]

You are so inspiring to me! I've been watching your videos for years and I'm old enough to be your mother! I call you "my little Irish girl". I'm so inspired that you're taking classes and tackling all these challenges. Thank you so much for your videos and for just being you!!,☺️

[@Mary10538]

I'm the same way. She's lovely

[@suescammon8016]

Remember that’s the raised bed that had the sunflowers in. The black birds are probably after the sunflower seeds

[@meggsbacon7008]

As an Australian, you gave me heart palpitations when you didn’t stomp on your wellies Catherine!

[@DaintyDiaries]

haha, you've huge spider down under x

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

@jenny asbury they really don't. A wise woman always confirms that there are no spiders in her boots or galoshes before she puts them on, or at least STOMPS once they are on!

[@Dutchfarmhouse]

I'm in the netherlands and now i will never be able to get into my wellies properly ever again...

[@patsybemish8628]

Here in Indiana ( the States) I use a mixture of Dawn dish soap and distilled vinegar with a pail of water. Works great on the green stuff on siding.

[@TheSassy1962]

Also in Indiana and I use the same!

[@kristinhughes5309]

California here, we use the same.

[@ireneferrante2313]

Connecticut here and I use the same!

[@carolbarnes5736]

Hi Catherine. I place a sandwich bag and elastic band over my wellies so as to keep creepy crawlies out!! I am not good with spiders ;) I am always full of admiration at the jobs you tackle yourself. I am handy but you go above and beyond. Scammers are rife now. I too am afraid to click anything or open unknown emails. There seems no end of people who would take from others (usually those that can afford to lose the least) to enrich their own lives.

[@saundrawilliams1601]

I wonder if the black birds are looking for the sunflower seeds they used to be able to find there? Especially since that is the only bed they are drawn to.

[@Nella296]

Just little tip birkenstock also do some gardening shoes with fur in they are under the professional category incase anyone is in desperate need of them and the crocs are sold out 🙂

[@dunjaandries9334]

The birds are after the seeds of the sunflowers which you only planted in that bed :)

[@soomay9855]

Thank you for explaining about the scammers. So many you tubers are not as diligent as you in blocking them, so thank you also for protecting us. You are an a gem girl. X

[@rosieb.2719]

You have the prettiest home! Thank you for sharing so many great ideas with us. Dip your sanding sponge in a little water, then sand as usual, for a dust free, smooth finish. Wipe clean and paint.

[@DaintyDiaries]

That is a great tip, thank you for sharing x

[@kithill6817]

I used beeswax on my wooden raised beds. This is the first year so we will see.

[@HighPriestessSteph]

It’s your energy that I appreciate the most. Humour, authenticity and of course creativity a close second. Thank you for being you Xx

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

Hello...Glad your dental surgery went well. Next....cob web in any shoe or boot requires a good stomping shaking your boot down BEFORE putting your foot in...I cringed, waiting for a spider to chomp on your toes. I agree with the others for the green algae, dawn dish & vinegar works well. So satisfying to watch someone do something in their yard..spraying down the windowsills, is like a jump on some spring cleaning. I am in Michigan & we still have snow. Most likely until April at least. Thanks for sharing another video.

[@beverleygrant3355]

I use flash bleach , spray on when sunny , let it dry then rinse off.

[@FMPflug]

I use wood floor cleaner for cleaning the green algae from wood outside from Danish brands Humdakin or Byoms. It’s makes the wood look new again.

[@jackiemadden4024]

I’m going to wait a couple more weeks then I’ll be out there with all me power tools clearing it up

[@spencerhall2049]

I've heard of a product on QVC call Wet and Forget which is supposed to get rid of algae etc. I believe it's safe for pets once it's dried.

[@christinebryant3566]

There a product called Pink Solution. It is magical and will not harm plants or pets!

[@loridodd560]

Glad you are past the surgery and doing well. God bless you!🙏🏼💕

[@puritychant128]

You are such an inspiration to me! I’m Canadian and almost three quarters of the year is snow, so watching your videos brings me great comfort and excitement for our short but sweet summer here!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw thank you, your so kind, im so happy you enjoy the videos. x

[@SerendipityNJ]

So glad that your dental surgery went so well, and that you are feeling better - was praying for you about this!!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you, I appreciate that so much. x

[@nenette3391]

👏👏👋👋👋 of Marseille France

[@Angelttf72]

I love watching your videos, you're always so cheerful that it make me feel brighter watching and listening to you. The videos do inspire me to tackle some of my long overdue jobs

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aww I’m so glad to hear that ♥️

[@itsmewende]

God was extra generous handing out chubby cheeks that day, that's the sweetest thing I've heard in a very long time 🥰 I'm 64 and took the wood shop class in high school, I absolutely loved the lathe. I'm sure you're going to have a grand time in your class. We viewers can also report the comment from our own comment left on the video. I report them, but I'm sure it probably doesn't matter much, just makes me feel good I report them.

[@xiloaperez453]

I am glad to see that you're feeling better and looking beautiful as always, I normally use a vinegar solution in a spray bottle and a hand brush to get that tuff green mold out of planters. It's definitely an organic solution.

[@peggynorton5535]

A ceiling medallion would look beautiful around the light.

[@jenaemarieAZ]

I do love your videos and style! Love your sweet home & garden too! You have the best ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much!

[@gingerspath3565]

I’m glad the dental visit turned out well! I absolutely love your videos…you are so inspiring.

Krud kutter for cleaning w/power washer...

[@twin5017]

I have had success getting rid of green algae with 100% white vinegar. 💕

[@vickirickman5828]

Dawn dishwashing soap

[@alisoncartwright5114]

Hi Catherine, there’s a product called Algon that you spray on and leave, the item looks cleaner within a few days but it continues to work over time to keep the item clean for up to a year. It’s advertised for patios and paths but I’ve successfully used it on painted garden sheds so should be fine on your chairs. It’s safe for pets and wildlife even when it’s still wet 😃

[@JulieMoren]

In Canada we have a pr oduct called "30 seconds" that worked well on algae

[@marygird7715]

Hi Katherine I am glad that you're making a speedy recovery. My Son had to be put to sleep when his were removed. They gave home a mask type face band to wear which has a type of freezer bag in it for help with swelling

[@DaintyDiaries]

That sounds rough I hope he was okay ♥️♥️

[@cottageparkcreations]

The long finger lol

[@skypuppet602]

In the states, we have a product called Wet and Forget that removes mold/mildew and is supposed to be safe for pets and contains no bleach.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Ooh this sounds ideal 😍

[@s.h.p.4571]

Think it might be on amazon on this side of the pond??

[@triciacarolkilbride2993]

@Dainty Diaries forget it...I bought it on amazon and a few other products and was really disappointed in them...did NOT do what they're supposed to! Tried the fairy liquid and vinegar and honestly it worked the best! Stained my fences dark grey and now all green again...I'm now on the hunt for a mossy green wood stain...May work eh! 🤣🤣

[@Mary10538]

You're so adorable. I was born with chubby chomps also. I love your videos. I've been following you for years.

[@traceygartrell3419]

Thank you for your inspiration

[@MsArtistwannabe]

In the US there are several levels of anesthesia. Some folks have to choose based on cost. In my area it’s well over two thousand dollars to have all four removed surgically.

[@dandktime]

Appreciated the ceiling painting.. I had many leaks from a Hurricane. It was raining sideways and came in all the roof vents. We too had to use the stain primer to get rid of them. I love all of your content because it is so varied. I just purchased some bare root plants to get started. You were my inspiration.

[@blumebauer]

Vinegar works great on the green algae. Put it in a spray bottle and spray it on and let it sit for a day or so and then pressure wash again or spray it off with a house.

[@staciefreeman4396]

I cleaned out the hall closet and telephone station at home today, not exactly carpenter skills, but quite satisfying all the same.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Ooh well done Stacie 😍

[@jourdanfarmer9708]

Could the birds be digging in that garden bed because the sunflowers dropped all their seeds there?

[@Gandellion]

Those scams are so annoying, I get them everywhere but always report them

[@mycreativedesignsspace6739]

I have had 3 surges where I’m out under and every time I have woke up it has been the best nap ever!

[@meredithgrant1620]

There’s an Australian product called Wet and Forget which kills mold (black and green). Just spray it on and forget. It works over time and is safe for all surfaces (including fabric), plants and animals

[@robinsnell7249]

So glad your surgery went well. I know you will enjoy your class and learn so much. Do you think you'll be getting a new kitty? I know how much you still miss Blondi. 💖

[@traceydonnelly2449]

Algon organic pet friendly on eBay ,green alge remover x

[@daymonv3736]

White vinegar / water might work.

[@helenirving7415]

👍🤗

[@jacquiridley3443]

Wasn’t that bed where the blackbird was digging the sunflower bed? Are they after the seeds you left to feed the birds? ❤️

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes, that is the blackbird digging, I think they could be after sunflowers, or I did throw the potato compost on that bed, so maybe something else in in the soil?

[@lisaholmes2179]

Everytime I see scammers comments I always report them, my friend got scammed by one and they got £40,000 from her 😔. Lovely video 😊

[@sharonaxelrod4608]

I am glad that your dental surgery was successful. I could tell you are feeling better, it's in your voice. I do enjoy your videos of catching up on the odd jobs around the house. So inspirational. I hope that your woodworking course teaches you all the fine points of mitering corners. I always love your videos. Enjoy your weekend.

[@maryswisher3358]

Using equal parts distilled vinegar and water can remove algae and let the sun dry/bleach it. Also, you can use hydrogen peroxide to remove algae. Scrub it on and let air dry. Glad your dental experience was a positive one! 🙂

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Lol Just remember I SAID you’d be building your own house awhile back. I saw this coming! 🤎

[@michellesmith2663]

Try washing down your cement with vinegar after power wash to prevent mold and moss coming back

[@Beruthiel45]

Thank you for your actions re scamming. I've seen those posts on so many channels and I wish more creators were as diligent as you in dealing with the problem. I report any I find too but they are everywhere. Glad your dentistry went so well, you are looking well. 😊🇨🇦

[@elizabethf8250]

Thank you for addressing the scammers issues. Knowledge is power!! Great video this week!

[@karenwilliams5468]

Loved this, so happy you're better and feeling groovy💖 the black bird really workin' it, so funny. That green moss is a nuisance no doubt, but the refresh looks wonderful. Bless you Catherine, sweet weekend to you, love your joy~♡~

[@ritarogers6658]

Hi, in the US we have a product line called Wet And Forget. I’ve used it and it works very well. You would want the outdoor formula.

[@37lucyjordan37]

Rita , we have that in UK too xx

[@violetsands]

Its Algae and a weak bleach solution and scrub the wood with a dish brush or a water and vinegar solution should work but nothing is long lasting as long as it damp and low light and cool. Once weather warms up and the humidity lowers it halts the growth of it. I live in the west coast of scotland and have white tiles on my paths and patio and they show the algae growth during winter but a quick scrub down with bleach and a mop down after with plain water gets rid of it for awhile. Come the summer its not an issue.

[@DaintyDiaries]

I love this, thank you for taking the time to share xxx

[@Ellofez]

Yes you can get rid of green algae with 7% hydrogen peroxide put it in a spray bottle and during day light spray it with HP and let fizz for a minute and than scrub with a stiff brush and repeat until it's off.

[@verakarlsson7227]

I live in Sweden and get a lot of algae in the garden during the winter. I use a mixture of vinegar, water and dish soap and it removes everything!

[@cyniror]

Why is power washing so darn satisfying?❣️

[@DaintyDiaries]

I know right 😂😂 I love it so much!

[@delinayoungs3988]

Wet and forget I use in Florida where we get green molds in abundance. Not sure you can get it outside the states tho ?..

I thought you were about 18 and you floored me with your age. You are adorable.

Hi Catherine bedroom ceiling is looking great lots of love 🥀🌻💐🐈💜🧡💛❤👍

[@poodlegirl55]

I use a few drops of clove oil in water to stop mold and mildew. Won't have anything.

[@janejdough2230]

There are medallions of faux ornamental plaster you can put at the base of the chandelier. It would hide that gap and look quite snazzy. You can usually get them at your home improvement store or Amazon

I had iv sedation for dental work and my poor sister escorted me home. I had bad hiccups the whole way and was rather giddy 🤪

[@fannydriscoll]

Glad you are doing well. A bleach/water solution should work as well as vinegar or lemon.

[@staciefreeman4396]

Sorry about the scammers Catherine, it's not right on so many levels! Glad your dental surgery went well, I know you are so relieved to have it done.

I wonder if the birds are looking for sunflower seeds that may have been buried?

[@zoeemiko8149]

My mum always made a thick paste of powdered Tide laundry soap, put a thick layer on and let it dry then power washed it off. For really stubborn spots she would use a stiff scrub brush. She used this on everything - even walkways.

[@maritaranda7782]

You are so inspiring and talented Chaterine😊🌷

[@kristinhughes5309]

You put a spring in my step to power my patio out back and clean the flower beds . ❤ Glad your recovering well.

[@terriharcourt9893]

I use a bucket of hot water with washing up liquid and give it a good brush/scrub - you’ll need a good bit of elbow grease but it won’t impact animals
