    Edit, I’m laughing out loud as you uncover that piece of metal fence and talk about learning to weld. My mom actually took a class at a local college that offered “shop classes”.

    Oh, Benita, this was such fun to watch. Your many skills and obvious willingness to learn are on full display here. I did chuckle a couple of times including at seeing your outhouse's bling and a door that works. Your strong work ethic (and determination) certainly came through as you hauled that lumber-laden cart to the compost location...then building it from the ground up! I truly appreciate you sharing this evolution as you three uncover the history and possibilities that old homestead holds. Treasure indeed, made even better by your love and care. I'm really looking forward to the next installment before the snow flies and daylight disappears. Take care.

    The cow at the end was looking at you like "nice to see someone cares about that old place! Good job! If you ever need someone to mow just unlock my gate and I got you" LOL
    Do you all have any sort of plans for any animals when you've got the space cleared and safe? I imagine you all with a dog at that property! Possibly a couple of chickens running around as well. Not knowing how far away you are though I realize this may not be possible if it's too far for someone to tend to regularly.
    I will need to go back and watch the last video again to see if you have shown where you are sleeping and how that is setup for now or if you will do that in the future. I loved this video and seeing all the work you 3 have done already! I would love to see a "day" or "weekend" in the life at the Summer House where you show us how you're cooking, where you're sleeping, and how you are keeping things comfortable and cosy while you are in a state of transition!
    PS I think the original wallpaper artist was both lazy AND didn't read directions. It appears as though they wanted an easy fix. They should have used paint IMO as you can go a lot further with paint per dollar and you don't have to worry about it peeling etc. I like the piece you fixed in the kitchen but that bedroom stuff needs to go! It is so dark and not at all refreshing!!

    You'll get lots of advice - whether you want it or not! LOL! I bought a 125-year-old bungalow a few years ago. I was widowed, working full time, and decided to gut it over a two-year period. My experience taught me two important things. First, regardless of a bid on ANYTHING, add at least 20% for "unexpected" costs. With property as old as mine there were always surprises. Second, get three bids for any work. Yes, it's time-consuming but well worth it. Good luck!

    Benita, I realize this video is a few weeks old, but hopefully you'll see this - I am SO impressed with everything your family is doing for this lovely old summer home. I believe that we imbue a "soul" of sorts to loved homes, and I just picture this wonderful cottage smiling as you all show it so much love. And it's so inspiring to see you tackling so many jobs; I could maybe cut the wood that Wille and Victoria marked, but you wouldn't convince me to climb up to tile the roof or down into that root cellar as I don't know my knees could take it these days. I am in awe of all of you!
    So looking forward to seeing this amazing home come to life through your work!

    The work you are doing is wonderful. It is nice to see things being done. It is a lot of work. It is nice to save old buildings.

    I haven't caught up with all your improvements and you may have done this, but I made rain barrels to catch the roof water for non-drinking use. These are filled directly by the downspouts at the ends of roof gutters. I have a steel roof and the water is really clean for garden use.
