The saw horses in the barn would come in handy for your DIY guys, plus you can use them later for hobby projects. Keep one of your old doors and toss it across 2 saw horses - instant potting table or spray paint table!

Hey Andrew! So good seeing you get excited about your pond, trees, ferns, and new house! What a milestone, congrats!! May the renovations bring you hours of joy and much more excitement as you make your new house your home. Thanks for always being yourself and for inspiring us to be ourselves too!! Keep it up! Jaco

[@mgmchicago]

I had a friend many years ago with property like yours. He also cut trails through his woods and planted various naturalized blooming shade plants throughout the trail that made for a beautiful walking trail. Lots of iris, bleeding hearts, hostas, etc. that would come up every year.

[@mcmanpa]

Our farm had ticks. The solution, when going out to walk or work on the property, was to wear boots, thick socks, long pants with the trouser tucked into the socks and all three (boot, socks, pants) sprayed with a repellent that contains DEET as the active ingredient. Ticks won’t get past it. (Also, keep the grass short around the house where you do most of your walking.)

[@theshape7214]

Sounds exhausting!

[@mcmanpa]

@@theshape7214 Haha, you get used to it because you really don't want to get a tick on you; I'm guessing you haven't had the (dubious) pleasure. :)

[@theshape7214]

@@mcmanpa I have not! Do they go deep?

[@mcmanpa]

@@theshape7214 Most ticks I know of stay on the surface of your skin; they bite and their grip is designed to keep them there while they feed on us for days if you let them; once fed they should drop off. But you really don't want your interaction with a tick to last that long since you don't know which species it might be and how toxic is the juice it's putting in might be.

[@theshape7214]

[@scottateem]

The clamp is a Vise and the thing hanging on the outside of the shed is a Gold Pan which is used for ... you guessed it, panning for gold.

[@hwy10165]

Those wood thing's are saw horses. So you can lay wood across two of them and cut them and you can paint the wood what ever color you want.

[@kennethjones5509]

Oh my gosh. Never seen anyone this happy for basically buying and completely remodeling. It's so inspiring. Love it, you are awesome.

[@richiej5884]

Love seeing you workshop and your "clamp" aka "vise" and your barn with those "wooden things" aka "sawhorses." They would come in handy for any work on your house for sawing and cutting wood and things. You have great property and great storage buildings! It's going to look great and what a place to just back and be in nature. Don't forget to get a hammock and Best of luck!

[@stevenf589]

Gave me a good chuckle thooo...🤭😊

[@bluewescott4631]

I know one of your goals is to help and give hope to young LGBT people and I’ll just let you know that you have ❤️

[@TOOBMANN]

Looks like you have your own little village...lots of deadwood to clear out (firewood if you have a fireplace). Don't take out too many walls, or you won't have enough support for the ceiling/roof.

[@ajiboy12]

This place seems like a literal dream. Congrats again.

[@rogerolson3247]

How exciting nice too see your excitement. It will be fun to watch the transformation. The property was waiting for you. Thanks for sharing

[@bobsocalifguy264]

Yes Dream World. But what happens when Reality bites. To me this forest home is more of a weekend retreat, not a full time residence.

[@Jayarbuck]

"Before you all say anything!..." 😄 Glad to hear you're taking precautions! That is a truly lovely homestead, Andrew -- looking forward to seeing how it comes along! Lots and lots of projects, indeed. 😁

[@josephhapp9]

The wind in the Trees. A Pond with Irises. Remodelling your property. Perfect retreat lifestyle. Andrew you are the best. Love what you are doing. 😘🌺😘🌺🥳🌺😇

[@williambender6711]

Its nice to see through your eyes what the out come will be. I believe the little purple flowers are periwinkle or sweet William. Not 100% on what grows in your area. Yes, whimsical is a good way to describe your place. Hope your next discovery - barn - will not have creepy dolls in it, lol.

[@dalmatianluvr]

When you get into the barn, some of those old crates may be vintage fruit crates, etc. Could nail them to walls for shelves or storage in workshop. (BTW, it's called a vise, the "clamp.") and keep those sawhorses for wood projects, painting, bucking wood, etc. How many acres? Was this an estate sale, that you got all the junk, etc "as is?" The pond is cool! You'll have to do "trail work" every year to keep your paths clear! Arbor and you are going to love those walks! Do you get snow there? You'll need a shed for your chain saw, chipper, lawn mower, (snow blower), (or garden tractor). Maybe a four-wheeler? I hope you have the $$ to complete all your projects now, and rehab the rest. I know a lot of this hasn't been cheap! Take care, and enjoy! Hopefully, your O.D. work will pick up soon, with vaxes increasing and masking/contacts relaxing! ❤️

[@brennanblogs5154]

Hear me out: turn the wood shed into a sauna 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@kencase2179]

Great progress! Looking forward to the finished house tour.

[@randallstewart175]

I probably live about 30 miles due west from Andrew, down the Columbia River. Not going to go looking for specifics. He has a real fixer--upper there and the extended yard and out-buildings have great potential for all sorts of uses. My only advice to him would be to start right now to hire some local to mow the yard, cut back the overgrowth, etc., on a continuing basis. The yard came to him with a year or two if neglect. In our climate, that stuff will grow out of control faster than he can believe. Consider it the price of being a country gentleman. That "flowering tree" is a very old, poorly located rhododendron. Lack of light from the shading trees makes them that way. That pond surrounded by iris is just fantastic, a real treasure for the property. I look forward to his future adventures in country home owning.

[@teiscrivens6214]

The wooden things that have four legs and look like animals without heads are called wood horses and you use them for building jobs, for example, painting your doors and not having the paint run. They will be really useful!

[@NoneKnowing]

I was thinking he should take them out so the workers can use them 🤗

[@leoprg5330]

I just found your channel after you moved from the woods back to the city and binge watch your content Andrew! I love seeing that I am not the only one who enjoys feeding chicken and planting flowers.

[@DanielJBaer]

That clamp is called a vise. The things with four wooden 2x4 legs are saw horses that are used to cut boards . You can lay anything on 2 of them that you want to work on.

[@jayshack1]

Its so fun to see how happy you are with the new place. Can't wait to see all that you do with it. for the pond I would look at getting a small floating fountain so that it does get over grown with algae, plus the running water sound would be great.

[@mjohnson9563]

As my mother always said, if you are bored, buy a house, you will have plenty to do. Can't wait to see the remodel. You need to get a riding lawn mower. Also, how do you know where your property line is. You should create a path that follows your property line. That would be fun. Also, with the scary barn, I feel a scary Holloween moving coming this fall. Arbor looks great. You may also need to get him a flea collar. You need to put in some doggie doors for him.

[@jerrylee8261]

Love the privacy. Thought I heard traffic noises. Wish you had said how many acres. Love the long driveway. Do you have a heating/air conditioning unit? A big house-4 bedrooms. You have plenty of space for a pool but all the trees could cause a problem.

[@chrisk5651]

[@jaykoolis961]

Andrew - Don’t remove that window in the kitchen. You’ll regret it. Kitchens need as much natural light as possible. Your kitchen already looks dark. Removing that window will make it a lot darker. Maybe change it to a shorter window that you can run base cabinets under. Or, even better would be to make the other window bigger. You have beautiful views. Why not open the kitchen up to them? That would be awesome.

[@markdean2524]

The property looks amazing! I Look forward to seeing what you do with it. It is also a dream of mine to have land with trails to develop and either a house to reno or build a tiny home. When you were showing Rainier in the last video I had a moment of surprise because you were practically driving past my house haha. I hope you enjoy living in the area, it is indeed an outdoor oasis! The only big drawback I find is that the gloomy rainy season can be taxing on one's mental health. But having a travel heavy lifestyle works really well to mitigate that.

[@jaefellows5024]

[@robertnairn7353]

Wow that is some property. I know absolutely nothing about US property prices but I take it the prices in Washington state are a lot cheaper than in California. Looks great though having your own land and trees and I am sure Arbour enjoys having some much outdoor space. can you use a strimmer to clear the woodland paths. As the tool shed is so near the main house would you think of making it into a summer house ? as you have electricity in there already you could have a fridge etc in so you and guests could hang out there.

[@andredshn]

I am impressed with your up to date house tour. So much so that you have inspired me to buy my very first fixer upper home. Seeing that you completely transformed your place gives me hope to take on a project as such. Wish me luck! Enjoy your new home, Andrew! :)

[@CarlTippins]

You've got so much land!! I'm jealous. LOL Do you know how much snow you'll get in the winter? There are several non-chemical ways to prevent ticks from attacking you. You can make a lotion using 8 1/2 ounces of a body lotion of your choice, add 20 to 30 drops of essential oils (like lemon, tea tree, eucalyptus). Mix well and apply to exposed skin. I'd even go down your ankles a bit into your shoes. You can also use a water based repellent for you clothes. In a spray bottle add one cup of water, 2-5 drops lavender oil, 2-5 drops lemongrass oil, 10 drops rose geranium oil, 2-5 drops cedar oil. Shake well and spray it on your shoes and clothes. These oils may be hard to find, but worth it. I'm from Central/Western Florida (Tampa area) and my parents are from Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda (south of Mt. Myers) area. So ticks and fleas are bad there. My grandmother used a mixture of dried Rosemary (small had full, probably around and ounce), 4 cups of water, and at least one tablespoon of vinegar. Boil the water and add the Rosemary. Stir, cover, and let steep overnight (you can just leave it on the stove). The next day, strain the water/Rosemary mixture and put it in a spray bottle. Add the vinegar and shake to mix it up. You can use this on your skin, your clothes, AND your pets.
