My New Home Tour!

[@thevalueofapenny222]

You need a french drain in the back yard. Basically, you dig a trench, fill it with a drain tube, cover it with gravel, then put the dirt/grass back over the top. It needs to be angled down slightly, and pointing back to wherever it naturally drains to. You can google them. Very helpful when it comes to poor drainage.

[@marekimura2371]

I was going to suggest that as well. Also, you may consider putting in a doggie washing station near your door. LOVE your new home. Open an account at the nearest paint store. Maybe they'll become a sponsor! LOL.

[@deborahpetipas9365]

Dog wash is a great idea for any dog owner. Right now it's our huge shower. Wish it was just inside our basement instead!

[@wendywiese419]

Absolutely. Agree 100%. A French drain is the way to go.

[@christinaschwander1592]

A hardware store in Canada will call it a tile and it will drain the water away from your property. You can even put in a catch basin for the water as well

[@sallymccarthy3028]

French drain! Did that on our mountain property to direct the water! Maybe fence in a little doggie run on the higher side for muddy days?

[@myslicechannel]

I don't know if you've been told this already but the BEST thing I've heard of using in flooded/swampy areas are willow trees. They need a lot of water and are often used by farmers to control flood prone areas. Hope that helps!

[@lexxiejones4526]

plant a couple weeping willow trees, and they will absorb all that extra water :) :)

[@r.k.knight2164]

For the swampy backyard: talk to a local garden shop and the people there might be able to point you to some water/mud loving local plant. Local biodiversity will be easier to maintain and look better than random plants (which may or may not be invasive) from Home Depot or Lowes. Also, local plants will help local wildlife (birds, bees, butterflies, etc.).

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

Great ideas!!

[@bernadetteswanson3304]

Please plant native plants for the pollinators and for biodiversity! They will require a lot less maintenance and help our planet. What a gorgeous house, soon to be home! ❤

[@LoantakaBrook]

Look into a french drain

[@corryjookit7818]

Joking only, but isn't there a nearby stone quarry looking to turn out some surplus into your wet backyard where they can be turned into some kind of weird Sauna .I kid you not. You have worked hard for this so enjoy it, all of it. Which is the episode where you reveal your wishes and desires, then amaze yourself with how it has all turned out. Please show your list as a wonderful reminder. Thanks in advance. Bullrushes or similar which. Can be made into other stuff by an industrialist. ? Anyone? Love to All.

Hey! Don't let your backyard go wild!!! When your grass is short birds hunt for rodents in there, and it makes more impact on the rodent population than you think. You don't want rodents in your house! How did the old owners care for the lawn? I think you should paint the wood trim on that fireplace black to match the insert, and we all know you like black trim :)

Plant willow trees near the swamp. They suck all the water.

[@JohansenWestFamily]

I love Joe's idea to let it grow wild. Perfect solution for the yard and for bio diversity :D Look into rain gardens 🌼Native plants will live happily there and give you something beautiful to look at as well as providing food for pollinators and birds. ❤ So excited to see all the fun things you do in your new home.

[@5rgyyuyrgg]

If they live an HOA neighborhood, they won't be able to let it grow wild. Some HOA'S are known to come in some people's backyards when there was no one home.

[@sherryhudson9075]

I can’t even imagine all the mosquitoes in that damp area

[@henriettelinkshanderin1449]

I totally agree! Let nature do its thing. Nature will plant what is best to live there. Sing like Elsa: "Let it grow!"

[@mentalsurfeit]

I was also going to suggest looking into rain gardening with native plants. It might be out of budget to do it full out, but searching for that term could provide some good ideas. As for just letting it go wild, unfortunately, invasive weeds are often what comes in and takes over unless you help by bringing in native plants and helping them get started. (And manage to keep the dog out, lol. 😅)

[@wrongwayconway]

Congratulations on your new home and self-watering lawn. Your local nursery can help you choose "water loving" perennials (they do exist). 💚

Do not paint the tile! You will regret it! I love you!

[@pjlacey3990]

Beautiful house and property! 1) For the dog you can buy a wireless fence that has a transmitter instead of burying cable and a collar. You can set the distance so she cannot get to the muddy places. 2) Contact Dawn. Maybe the two of you can collaborate on a house project. Tom could come and install new flooring in the basement maybe? Have fun with the redecoration and organization of your new home!!! So happy for you!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Omg congratulations!!! There’s nothing like that new house feeling. I love that there’s a sunken livingroom! Also cheers for separate offices. It saves relationships 😂 Edit: a closet has definitely influenced a home purchase I’m not gonna lie lol

I have been watching you for years and I’ve seen how much you’ve done to help other people and organize your very modest but lovely home with your children and your husband and your pets… But to see this beautiful, elegant home that you will all be able to enjoy is just so much over the top!

Cas, your new home is beautiful and you're going to have fun making it "your own" . The backyard is lovely - almost like in a fairy tale. I can imagine having my morning coffee on the back deck, relaxing and taking in all that beauty. Enjoy !

[@jeslakey]

Eeeeee! I'm so freaking happy for you! You work so hard and help so many people, you definitely deserve a well organized fancy schmancy closet. Also, I have a feeling there will be a Master Gardeners organization (or the Canadian equivalent) in your area that can recommend native species of plants that will thrive in that floodplain area and actually help manage flooding and help filter drain water.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for the tip!

[@enlightenedDragon]

i wrote on your other video but someone with permaculture training would be really helpful in a space like this! You can control the flooding and maybe get some fruit trees and a garden that rarely needs watering out of it! (likely you'll find a landscape architect or similar that also has a "PDC permaculture design certificate") With the space you have you may have a fun family project of qualifing for a butterfly sancuary with out hardly trying :)@@Clutterbug

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

@@Clutterbug I'm not sure what zone you're in, but native Red Osier Dogwood shrub (beautiful red twigs in winter snow!) and native Cranberry bush (the leaves look like maple leaves!) are great for wet areas and they're both so amazing for wildlife and pollinators! We are in zone 4 (we get down to -22°F here) Michigan and I know for sure dogwoods are very cold tolerant and love wet areas. Native hydrangeas are known for growing on edges of streams, so they like water, too. You mentioned irises in your video... those are bulbs... not good for wet areas as they would rot. Whatever you do, the most important thing is to plant natives... can't stress that enough! I LOVE your new house and all the interesting rooms! SO happy for you! You work so hard and give so much, you deserve it! Enjoy that new closet and tub! 😀

Can't wait to watch you put your stamp on it and make it your own! You are so deserving! And the laundry mudroom, the outdoor fireplace space... so, so many fantastic upgrades! 🤩

[@lindadelong632]

You can lay LVP flooring over tile. It’s not very expensive and makes a huge difference. I was told to just make sure the tile isn’t broken or pieces missing ❤Beautiful Home!

[@lizshella]

I was going to say exactly this! LVP can go right on top of the tile. It’s inexpensive and easy to install. Congrats 🍾🎉

[@schnder1]

[@lyndanickerson1373]

Congratulations on buying the house of your dreams! It's gorgeous! Having enough space for a big family is important.

[@singhosanna3962]

You absolutely need to talk to a landscape construction company with a good reputation about your yard. They will be able to tell you exactly what will work for your spcific area and needs. Climate, soil, how much sun the area gets, also how wet the area can actually get, maintenance, and how much money you want to spend are all important factors!

[@HeidiLamb-i1m]

In the first room, level the floors from the entry to the other room, so the floors are all one level and not sunken. That is what ages that room. The fireplace will then be floor level so you can then just create a nice hearth that is fireproof around it. Creating built-ins for books, etc. will give it an adult atmosphere. you can also create a reading nook look for it to make it cozy in front of the fireplace.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

A new home is a blank canvas that you get to fill with new memories and adventures. Congratulations on your beautiful home. It's beautiful. So happy for you and your family.

[@amandastoermer3044]

Main Bedroom - it's already amazing. If the wallpaper drives you nuts, paint the walls white and it will make your wallpaper seem very elegant. Basement - don't paint the tile. Eventually you can put LVP flooring later when you build your funds. I don't know where you live, but we had a flood area in our backyard and did a lot of research. There are certain plants and bushes that thrive in those swampy areas. Talk to your local nursery and they can come up with ideas. We have three dogs and one of them thinks it's her God given area to roll around like there's no tomorrow. We haven't had that problem this year because we changed that area.

[@intherockies]

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you and your family! I have a backyard that is exactly the same. I don't mow for several days after it rains. I also have a black thumb, so I don't plant anything in the backyard. You could plant a Weeping Willow Tree if you wanted. A French drain is the only thing I know of besides placing sand in the low areas. Maybe have a professional landscaper come out to give you some ideas.

[@JamieKoblas]

I agree about the willow tree....they do great in wet areas.

[@Oceangirl_505]

Great idea! Learn from a professional instead of the frustration of several trial and errors.

[@KathyW5]

It's gorgeous Cas! It's a well deserved payoff for all the hard work you and Joe have done. Can't wait to see what changes, no matter how small, you make one room at a time. You will have so much fun and will also pass that on to us.

[@cherismith5707]

@@julietannOsfan1972 I guess we refer to the material (which is non-countable... metal, plastic, tile) and not the individual pieces. Language is a funny monster, isn't it? I teach English to Spanish speakers and it's interesting how some things that are countable to us are non-countable to them. They say [the equivalent of] breads, we say bread. They can talk about A news, while any piece of news, to us, is still news... non-countable. LOL, it's just how language is. Keeps life interesting! 😃

[@ItsNotABugItsAFeature]

I love your new home! It looks perfect. Congratulations!! For the drainage issue, nothing beats willow trees. I see you already have many beautiful trees in your backyard but if you feel like more I would suggest putting in a few willows. My mother did this at her place. She used to have such bad flooding she had ducks every year in the spring. Within a few years of planting just 3 willows she had no more issues. Her neighbour's still had problems but her yard was fine after that.

[@bellaluce7088]

And willows are so beautiful! Just have to be careful not to plant where they can damage pipes, foundations, or sidewalks since the roots spread so widely. Hopefully not a problem on Cas's wonderfully expansive property. So happy for her!

Otherwise, a nice coat of white paint will do wonders. Eventually, you can add more of the luxury vinyl planks (that are in the kitchen/entry) into the dining room and basement.

[@andreawales1938]

Congrats on your new home! You might have to augment the soil in the back of your property to promote drainage. You might also choose a ground cover that you won’t have to mow but that you can walk on. A gravel, stepping-stone, brick or concrete path might be a nice addition to separate the lawn from the ground cover/swamp. I recommend that you seek out the help of a gardener friend or seek gardening help from a professional. Otherwise, you might find that you end up with a lot of mosquitoes because of all that standing water.

[@seaspeaktome9167]

Agree with all of this!

[@TallyDrake]

I was thinking about the mosquitoes, too. I'm surprised the previous owners didn't take care of the swampy backyard.

[@johnandy8146]

Congratulions on your gorgeous new family home! Thank you for taking us with you on your new home decorating & organising journey. In regards to the swampy backyard it may be an issue with the incorrect trees/shrubs/plant varieties that are planted for the slope. It may only be a very simple fix of removing the "wrong" trees/shrubs/plants & re-planting with the correct WATER-ABSORBING varieties. There are many native & non-native varieties to choose from & they do a fantastic job of absorbing standing water.

[@lacee7494]

Plant indigenous plants, they will look after themselves. And the birds and insects will be so happy too.

[@lucystrider728]

I agree with the french drain suggestion, they work great provided there is a downslope you can access. They are very easy to make. You can still install some waterloving plants, but you will want to drain the swampy area so there is not a mosquito hatchery or dog wallow in your backyard. Then you can really enjoy that gorgeous back porch with that incredible view, you have found such a beautiful home! One other thought if you have more than one low spot that stays wet, you can make it a yard feature by surrounding it with freeform bender board, fill it with sand and soil, and grow sturdy cover like ivy, star jasmine, in there. You would have to trim the perimeter to keep it contained, but with the bender board that is pretty easy.

If the muddy areas are close to the areas that Joe wants to’go wild’, you could also cover this with river rocks and make into a fry/wet stream. Google for flowering perennials (non-toxic ones) and you’ll have a wild habitat for birds and small animals. Just work on it one day at a time.

Had to watch this twice because it’s a beautiful perfect house for y’all! Congrats Cas, you deserve to live here! Love all of it 😊

[@Clutterbug]

Thank you so much!!

[@EmmaMorgan09]

Cas, I am watching the news on BBC about the wild fires in Canada. I hope you’re safe. Our hearts go out to everyone who’s affected xxx

[@karenbarnes5402]

So happy for you! Getting your own space for your business is wonderful. You will have so much fun deciding where everything will go, especially your closet and your kitchen. That basement seems to go on forever! Enjoy! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@tamibc1686]

Oh, Cas. I am sooooo excited for you. What a great house. Well done! If I had to pick a house for your family from what I know of you, this is the one I would pick. CONGRATULATIONS!! You couldn't deserve it more. I can't wait to see how you transform it into your own style. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Congratulations from Böblingen/Germany for your new house. Joy and happiness for all of your family . These dimensions of homes and gardens are incredible for us here in the Stuttgart area ❤

And the house is beyond beautiful!!

[@leeannalogan7511]

I love the sunken room off the dining room! I would make it a sitting room where the family could play board games etc.

[@cristinavladeanu3679]

The house is gorgeous! Congratulations! The little entrance room is cute and perfectly placed for receiving visitors who are not close family or friends, and who do not need to walk through the kitchen or Joe's office to arrive at the family room 😉 Love the wrap around porch, breakfast nook, and bonus room in the attic!

Welcome home! & welcome to the family, new fish! 🐠🐟

[@lynnwales2937]

Congratulations Cass! That basement tile is weird. I can see why you want to change it! Also, we also have swamp lawn. I grow cattails for the birds and joe pie weed for the butterflies.

[@emilyferrante4589]

Joe pie weed.... that sounds dark

[@KS-un3pi]

The house is gorgeous!!! You could let those lower lying areas grow up between when it dries out. You could add "clean fill" dirt, (from when people are building homes and leveling the ground) to help bring that area up or maybe sand. It is beautiful there! I am so happy for you and your family!

[@sarahloy830]

Environmentally that is not a healthy solution and she would lose the benefit of the beautiful area she can create in a wet zone. Less lawn is much more interesting as a landscape and destroying floodplains will cause flooding problems for her neighbors downstream. In some places it is even illegal.

[@troubleshooter166]

Talk to professionals or your version of county extension office. Wouldn't fill in "puddle", might be a place to get dirt from so puddle becomes pond. Have friends who did as ks-un3pi said. Look for local people excavating for basements, road work, driveways for thin layer of fill dirt once idea cleared with local officials or professional.

Just enough space to clutter it up again 😉

[@YarnThisPodcastShama]
