Tommy & Cheri Homestead At Waterfall Cottage
США
Добавлен 14 янв 2017
Welcome to Waterfall Cottage. (No cottage core here. Tommy refuses to wear the dresses!)
We are empty nesters who live on a lake in SE Texas in a 1000sf cottage that used to be a fishing shack/weekend cabin. We are slowly renovating it to bring it up to code & more livable standards. We do all of the work ourselves as shown in our videos. We garden organically & as sustainably as we can. We can/preserve whatever we grow. We love to upcycle and do crafts. We intend to move off grid once we retire. The goal is to build a home we don't need a vacation from.
Proverbs 20:4 The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest & have nothing.

A man, a tree, his 20" Ego & a golf cart. What could go wrong? ~Cleaning up after hurricane Beryl
In this video, Tommy and I worked on removing a tree that had fallen during hurricane Beryl onto our well, outdoor shower and chicken coop. Tommy got most of it done using a battery powered 20" Ego chainsaw and my golf cart.

When hurricane Beryl first hit us, a large tree came down on our property line. It looked like it was on the chicken coop, well and outdoor shower. I went out to check on my chickens and see if there was anything I could do to help them.

In this video, he finally got the golf cart running. We will use this like a mule. It will never be used on a golf course. We are looking for more land and Tommy wants some cows so he will need this to ride around on.

The court ruled and said they can no longer sell them because it's been proven that they don't work. The sugar and boric acid ingredients are known to attract and kill ants. Save your money.
I like that chain saw. What a mess yawl had to clean up.
And we are still working on it.
Nice to see someone has a lower pitched roof than i do and still tackling this job. The hardest part was reaching the top plate at the soffit end. Even with a foam gun it was difficult to lay on my stomach and reach
Luckily we haven't fixed the facia/soffit issue on the house and could stick the hose through from the outside in a few places.
Get the Mosquito Magnet MM4200B Mosquito Trap that sells online. It uses a heat & pheromones to attract then traps mosquitos in a filter. The device runs on propane.
What can you do if it gets leggy
You trim it back
Watching from Mobile Alabama. I enjoyed the peacefulness of your video. You two speak calmly and your area of the video is serene. It was just pleasant to watch. I’m also sceptic about the copper approach but like everyone else wanting to improve my vegetable/flower gardening. I follow others that also use other techniques other than copper so this seems to be an adventure for many. Again thanks. I just found you guys and will add you to my follow list.
Can you tell me what kind of blade you used for your miter saw?
Just a regular Diablo fine cut/finish
We had done this several times and it really works. In the winter we find them nesting under mulch around our trees. God bless.
I have high hopes
"Pay someone else to do this for you." As much as I love fixing things myself, sometimes paying someone else to do the work is the correct answer.
Exactly! Not everything has to be a diy.
So one bag per stone?! Damn, concrete mix is so expensive right now and am not sure it’s worth it to do this and I have two different mold patterns that I’ve yet to use.
Pretty much.
So if you do use the old beans … they won’t make you sick or anything???? I have several glass containers with various beans… pretty well sealed…no doubt years old.. should I go ahead and use them, of course over a period of time, OR toss them… which seems such a waste it🤷🏼♀️. And thank you for any input👍🏻‼️😁
They won't make you sick. Cook as normal.
I just got a hoarder house and the carpets are beyond disgusting, so this is what I am going to do temporarily. I am even going to do the same color. I love that grey. Thank you for the tutorial.
Lovely. Great video!
Thanks for taking the time to show and tell , I do appreciate. But I have a question that I've seen SO many do...why do people use the jar grabber to place cold jars in cold water? Why not just use yoir hand? Lol... just curious
The anti-slip on the tongs means I am less likely to drop the jar into the pot and break it. It's just a better grip than trying to do it with just your fingers.
It work? Thx
Nope
I tried this, 2 weeks later i found white stuff over the pickles that weren't submerged. wiped it off, tasted a little funny, ate 'em anyway. Vinegar has doubled in price in past 3 months so I am becoming thrifty.
I've never had that happen. What brand was it?
@@TexasHomesteaders I used my empty jar of Vlasic pickle juice, put fresh cucumber spears in it.
Did yall finish it?
Yes. It's in the list.
Prayers for everyone and their property.
Trying to chew on long pieces of okra is like trying to eat through fibrous ropes! The small okra like you're describing you can bite through and just really enjoy all the flavors and vitamins!
Exactly
I cried too..as heart-worm testing comes with regular yearly checkups from your veterinarian. Ppl please keep your pets on heart worn preventative meds, is an inexpensive and responsible solution to ensure your pets well being. There is also ProHeart 6 which is a heartworm prevention shot that lasts six months and is an alternative to giving them a monthly heart worm pill. The average heart-worm treatment cost ranges from $500 - $1,100 depending on the dog's size, the stage of the disease and if you are taking advantage of the lower cost veterinarian clinics. The typical treatment protocol includes blood tests and x-rays to measure the heartworm infection load, also sedatives, pain medication, and antibiotics for killing the parasites. This video was upsetting, especially when there is an affordable and simple solution often not taken by pet owners. There are pet insurance providers that can help shoulder the cost of care as well as low cost vets available in every state Sorry, but it is what it is…so keep your pets safe with a pill each month. Heartguard is approximately $40 for dogs up to 25 lbs with chewable’s that protects them for 6 months.
Yes. Our other dogs are on preventative. Chipper has been for 11 years.
That one doesn’t want to share the food 😂
Simply a great explanation of the reuse of commercial jars. Oh yeah keep a eye on that noisy chicken 😂
This is exactly why I keep well stocked with charcoal, propane, fat wood, cast iron, camp stove, grill, mini cooker, outdoor oven, etc…… glad yall are muddling through this hell!
Glad you have some propane to use!! Hope your power is restored soon!
Prayers for people and property.
Be safe.
Horrible. Set up from white dome.
Prayers!
4 bic like. Thanks for sharing awesome bench. Happy Sunday 👍🏻
Muchas gracias compañero texano!!! Home repairs are the one thing that truly frustrate me the most. But I was able to do it watching your amazing and super explanatory video. Sincerely, a housewife 😊 👍 🎉
Thank you for posting this. I'm going to try it.
I agree with you, this product promised a lot and delivered 0....
Wow love it Cheri !! Blessings Rochelle.
This video is definitely on time! I'll be replacing mine soon and now I can go ahead and get the tool to pop the tabs before it arrives. Great job!
For those of you that insist on being Karens, we put cat food out for the cats that live in our neighborhood because they keep the snake and mouse population under control here on the lake. The raccoons like to help themselves to the food. We consider this a better alternative to them eating our chickens. Tell me you've never lived in the country without actually telling me......
@@TexasHomesteaders Raccoons run one of the most dangerous street gangs where I live…
Just thought, next time use your drill and some thick gloves. It would be alot faster . And refresh my memory clockwise is to the right and counterclockwise is to the left , right ?
Faster is rarely better and thank God my husband comprehends that. When the camera is mirrored, it appears to be backwards. Simple camera knowledge. You have a nice day now speedy.
I understand you can also make smaller ones and place around your plants in your garden
Can you show an up close of how thick tve wire is that you used
Thank you for showing how to make these
Smart Husband
Why feed them? They’re like the most resourceful scavengers on earth.
If by resourceful you mean they try to eat my chickens, you'd be right. This way they have never messed with my chickens. Technically the cat food is out there for the cats however.
@@TexasHomesteaders ahh yea, resourceful thieves got it! Thanks for the reply!
Thank you!
Love it!
Thank you 😊
Thank you. It is good to see it being done by someone more competent than I 😂 I feel better now believing I am capable to gether done 😁
Great video! We are talking about doing a pond. Do they make it through winter? God Bless.
They are fine here in the winter.
My neighbor had this all over his yard, I had some too. I wondered if it was good for anything, I’ve been pulling it from around my porch and throwing it in the weeds. I will dry some now when I find it. Thanks. 😊
It's good to have some on hand.
Thanks for the help 👍🏽 much easier than i thought it was going to be!!!
Can I do this method w/Heavy Cream or Half & Half? I’m very new at this. Thank you!
Others do, I do not. Give it a try and let us know how it works out.
