    Seeing lots of comments on my white shoes! 😂 I promise those were my yard shoes, and were super old and trash! I have about a million pairs of those cheap 9.99 shoes from Walmart! They are my fave! So comfy! LOL

    • @kittycatmommy2364
      @kittycatmommy2364 3 года назад +5

      I think I'll go to Walmart tomorrow! Lol I was cringing from all that dirt but I know how it is.
      Now it's time to relax and enjoy!

      Jet wash them, then throw in the washing machine, they clean up fine for the next time, I always jet wash barefooted but I don’t think you could have there! Great job, I love the bulkiness of your furniture, it looks super comfy!

    I have said this before and I WILL say it again, the work that you are doing, the effort that it takes to spend ZERO dollars, and use what you have is HUGE!! You are on to a new pathway for yours channel and social media. This is 2021 and we are *over* the shop/ship of 2020. Thank you for your honesty and integrity in this homemaking quest!! You are sending the right message!! Hugs from Montana 💜

      I think you did a fantastic job on the patio. I don't have a deck or patio, just a little side porch, so you can imagine how good it looks to me. You take care of yourself. 😍💜

    I liked the way you arranged the furniture a lot better the first time. It looks more cohesive and charming. Putting the sofa against the wall with the power boxes brings attention to them. I adore you, just my opinion. I’m completely on my own. My husband unexpectedly passed away a couple of months ago. I SO understand how hard it is to do things without a man’s strength and help. Sending love and hugs.❣️❣️❣️

      @mollyfien 3 года назад +5

      I know how you feel and Im so sorry for your loss. My husband died 20 yrs. ago when I was 52 and although I did most of the yard work and fix it things its just so much nicer to have a little muscle help now and then. Im trying to de- grass and de-weed my brick patio and it takes all my energy to do just part of it at a time. God bless women and their grit to just do it!

    • @janoldani3020
      @janoldani3020 3 года назад +4

      My husband too passed, last year we had floods in mi. My lower level flooded and all the attention was fixing and replacing everything. Thank God I was not displaced from my home. However, this year I struggled with the upkeep of both inside and outside. We have a huge paver driveway which had so many weeds too. I did what you did and sprayed them first, then I washed all the sand out of the pavers and reSANDED them. It took 12 bags of 40 # per a sand. It took me 22 hours, I had help with the last 2 hours helping me move the bags. You should be very proud of yourself with this huge accomplishment. I know I’m proud of myself. 73 years old and not stopping. LOL. I DID HAVE TO GO TO THE CHIROPRACTOR YESTERDAY.

    Beautiful patio, & I love the way you stress that we don’t need to buy new stuff in order to be happy with our house & yard. We don’t need to rush out to Target (& we shouldn’t, really) every time we want to create a nice space in our house or yard. “Consumer therapy” lasts about 10 minutes but costs us much more-$$$$$. You are the Guru of “Be happy with what you already have!” Thank you so much! ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

    Level 10. I did the same kind of work on our stepping stones walkway earlier this summer. I laid down pea gravel between the stones. It did me in...I was in bed the next day down in my back. God bless you! It’s hard work. Your transformation is awesome! It looks amazing!

    It was so refreshing to see a fly flying around in your backyard I look at these backyard videos and wonder how in the world do they get the flies not to fly this day just a bummer when I go outside and there's a fly great to know I'm not alone in this fly pandemic great job in the yard!!!

  • @Rj4cg
    @Rj4cg Год назад +1

    Leslie, I just watched this video and now those pesky weeds are probably back a year later! Here’s a tip from you tube gardener, Linda Vater: Weeds and grass growing in between the pavers can be eradicated by pouring boiling water on them. Linda also suggests adding small gravel in between those pavers to keep grass/weeds growing back.
    I am enjoying your videos! I love your hard work, creativity and love for each other and your family. You also honor our Lord Jesus! Blessings on your lives! 🙏🏻

I pray for him every day and you too my dear. Leslie, I like the first seating arrangement the most, the way you laid it out with the seating facing each other and it was away from the back of the house near the power box.....but either way is great. Girl, that was A LOT of HARD work! God Bless you both!!!

    I’m 57 and I’m still a work horse like this a lot outside and inside too. Once I make up my mind something needs to get done or cleaned I’m doing it from sun up to sundown. Kudos to you!! I probably would have power washed the furniture and the shed and cleaned the windows on the shed and a hundred other things as I don’t know when to stop once I get started. Can you say perfectionist? Lol. I will go all day without eating or taking breaks and work until exhaustion. It’s great exercise and that hard work feels so rewarding even when you can’t walk or move the next day. Ha. I also liked the furniture the first way in the middle. Now enjoy with a mango or watermelon margarita. 😉🍸🕔

    Leslie thank you so much for the inspiration. Just moved to Delaware from Long Island and want to make some kind of Flagstone patio in the backyard and you gave me great inspiration... and you're right! Once the stones are laid all I have to do is shop my garage from what I had the movers bring in the move!!! Maybe I'll splurge on a new pillow! LOL anyway it all came out so pretty what an accomplishment enjoy! Next year is next year but this year enjoy what you have! Hugs and blessings to you both
