If you see this - give the video a thumbs up to show Aimee you loved her bird box 😂 🐦
Hi Aimee. Your bird house is going to be a bird bath if you don't have any drainage holes in the bottom or some gaps in the sides to let the rain water out.
Junes Journey is my favorite game. Just sayin…
Please don't feed the birds in spring and summer. They will give it to their babies and they can die from it. Baby birds need insects. Rather make nesting boxes and plant plants that attract insects.
Not a podcast, but a book series based around Scotland called Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Books in series are:
OUTLANDER
DRAGONFLY IN AMBER
VOYAGER
DRUMS OF AUTUMN
FIERY CROSS
A BREATH OF SNOW AND ASHES
ECHO IN THE BONE
MY OWN HEARTS BLOOD
TELL THE BEES THAT I HAVE GONE
THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL NOVELLAS BASED AROUND SOME OF THE CHARACTERS.
Make sure to store your bird food in a metal container ie garbage can with tight lid. Otherwise it will end up as mice food🥰👍
GET CATS!!! Kitties will help you with your rodent situation, and they're precious angel babies that will make you laugh every day. :)
🙌
Yesss! I said this on the last video, I don't think they're big cat people and can't commit much to pets, but adopt some barn cats! They won't need much care and if you go away you could just leave out food - and they'll keep themselves fed on mice! The presence and smell of cats will also discourage mice from returning.
YES YES YES!
Except they also kill everything else including birds.
They could be barn cats/outdoor cats only if you are worried about travel. They will take care of themselves for the most part. Just build them a little shelter...a kitty motel?
A Japanese garden with a little bridge over a koi pond in the center of a round driveway - it will celebrate your engagement forever.
The birdhouse build was the most chaotic, entertaining thing I've seen in quite a while - burying the laptop in saw dust was just *chefs kiss* 😂😂😂
The birdhouse build made me itch. I’d rather see chaos doing and making things I can’t do with my eyes closed.
Basketball court! 😊 Mice advice: we live remotely and mice try to come in every winter. Even with 4 cats, we have to be super careful. Every single food item needs to be in hard plastic or glass containers. Can't leave rice in a bag or cereal in a box. Buy some cute storage containers and save glass jars. Make sure that bird food is also kept in hard plastic boxes!! I'd recommend taking any food off the bird table at nightfall, otherwise you're just creating a mouse hotel 😂 to release mice, you need to drive at least 4 miles away as they can find their way home up to 4 miles away!! Make sure kitchen in the bus/house is clean and swept with NO CRUMBS before you go to bed!! Regularly tip crumbs from toaster into the bin. Have a well sealed bin! Cleaning really helps with mice. It's worth the effort, especially in winter as mice are very determined.
The clips in Craigs hair are too cute. That's a secure man right there!!!
From the very first second of this video, I could not get over how this last week you both seem to have shed 10 years off your faces. Craig, you were just glowing while in that digger. Amy, your face was radiant, even in the gloom of the tool room. Obviously, after the long wait for occupancy, you are in your element, building and creating your dream spaces. So good to see you so utterly happy! Thank you for sharing the joy of even the smallest triumphs in moving those rocks and getting everything in order. It is such fun to see your vision emerging!!!
Yes to leaps and bounds plus learning to dry stack rock walls. Roll em Craig. Smooth it with love Amy! You will be feeding more than birds.
Cats meow! Can you do foster care of stray cats?
You must keep seeds in galvanized trash buckets with tight metal lids. Otherwise critters help themselves and foul the contents.
Great video.
Love seeing all the diggers. Lol
And the bird house is gorgeous 🏴🏴🇨🇦🇨🇦🥰👍
You two have the best humour and the best info-mercials! Enjoy your channel so much!!
Aww Thanks so much 🥰
You could mouse proof your bus by looking for and sealing holes, covering sink drain, storing all food in mouseproof containers, staying on top of crumbs, disinfecting the area everytime you find a turd (they leave their smells behind to attract family & friends) plant peppermint and oregano in window boxes and keep the boxes around/under the bus and open door. Grow lots of peppermint elsewhere too. Mice find their way home unless taken 5 km away. You have thousands of mice in the fields around your house; you'll never catch them all....therefore deterring them is best. Bird food will attract rats and squirrels; you don't want either moving into your spaces. Owl decoys can be effective especially if you move them around. Rodents are very smart.
To prevent mice from coming into your bus, spray the perimeter, including tires with peppermint oil. 1 part oil to 20.part water in a spray bottle.
Good idea. Peppermint and spearmint like Wrigley’s gum.
I also came to say this!
Peppermint oil works!
After seeing Aimee build a bird house, I think she should build a sign telling the mice it is a "no go" zone.
Ants and spiders don't like peppermint either.
I can see a large stone patio with wood accents and an overhead gazebo with strings of small lights. I can see you having loads of fun, drinking wine with friends, laughing and sharing stories with other RUclips friends. It will be epic!!
It's what Sundays are made for. I smiled from beginning to end. You do know that the mice are going to put the word out 're all that lovely bird food!
🤣 as long as they bugger off out of the bus I’ll keep feeding them down the other end of the garden (where the bird house is!)
Amiee as someone who spends his day ,repairing and building stuff,for folk ,I admire that you are having a crack ,as so many of your generation, don't even try.
You will get better the more you do.
To this day ,I'm still learning
I agree, it seems to be a repeating phenomenon that for completing projects, one always seems to get the hang of the mechanics about the time you finish the project. Plus the way you get better is to build or make more than one. With each iteration your control and design ability will grow into better looking/functioning items. You go girl. Good job Aimee.
Hi a nest box would be a lovely idea ❤
Bird watching really does creep up on you. One minute you’re traveling the world having epic adventures and the next you’re renovating a Scottish cottage and building bird feeders for the wood warblers and squirrels 🥰❤ Thanks for taking us along! ❤
In the big space you could put some sort of pergola with plants growing on it! Maybe some string lights? Orrr put a space with room for outdoor movies!!!!
Craig looks like he’s in his element! So happy and excited for all the work to come.
Lol I know he’s like a big kid with all these big machines! 😂He’s loving it and it’s fun to see!
You know, now that I have given it some thought, I think a grand basketball court would be a wonderful addition to that space. Yep, a basketball court for tournaments!
Everytime I've put out bird food, I've got mice and rats. Keep the birdhouse away from your house. You guys are great to watch.
theres free hanging bird feeders which rats cant climb, not nearly asy pretty but actually feeds the birds
Put it on a metal pole and put oil on it, the cheeky buggers slide right down and can’t reach the food
@@reina_do_marThey come for the bits that the birds drop on the floor in my experience. I still feed the birds because I enjoy watching them and I have only ever seen two 🐁
You’re digging don’t ask where the mice are coming from.😂. Get a few cats your mice problem will go away. ❤
I hung my bird feeder from the roof of my house and the birds were picking at the feed and dropping it on the ground where the rats were eating it..if you don’t want rats and mice don’t feed the birds…sorry birds but it’s the only way
The view from there is fantastic!!!
You need a nice fire pit area with swings around it!!
Love the bird feeder!!!!
Tip for keeping mice out of your food on the bus. Buy some hard plastic storage containers with locking lids. Make sure you clean your counters after every meal you make (including dishes).
Instead of plastic, use screw top canning jars for storage.
Spearmint repels the buggers. That and a cat.
@@the_mum Yep, I started doing that and they work great. Mine are all up cycled Spaghetti sauce jars that are actually canning jars. I've also picked up some hard plastic larger containers with screw on lids for larger things. It doesn't bother me too much since they are going to be used for years and not a one time use plastic polluting disgrace.
Mice even chew through heavy hard plastic! Metal & glass containers are the way to go. Please put all the “extra” bird food in a metal or glass containers because it will be a huge draw & a source of “food” for all the other critters. ☹️
Peppermint works, fairly well, but you have to keep repeating the treatments for any long term deterrent. Could try playing loud cats purring, dogs barking, owls hooting, wolves howling, High-pitched noises, etc. Use on constant repeat to help drive the mice away. Found my “sounds” on RUclips!
Living in the country is always a challenge to keep any mice outside. 🦉 🐈 🐶 🐺
@@texasgirl9604 Only Steelwool keeps them from going through walls. They are clever little things. One tiny little hole and they are in. I found out they like peanut butter!
Sitting here grinning from ear to ear for the whole episode!!! Thank you for 30 minutes of laughter and pure happiness!!!
Oh boy! This reno project (s) is going to be sooo much work but totally worth it by the end! I already know I’m going to love it just hearing about some of your plans you two have! By the way…… you’re the only channel out there that I DON’T fast forward through the sponsors “spot!” You two are so imaginative and fun with these! Love it!
You are a LEGEND! Thank you for being so kind! 😇
I love watching you two. Your happiness is infectious. It just makes me happy watching you. Amie your birdhouse is great. I loved watching you learn about the tools. You just had fun. Craig, you are so happy using your digger. I know this is just a small part of your lives, but you’re taking us on a fun ride.
As for that big area, you could put in a tennis court, or a swimming pool. Think big, not tall, because the NBA needs tall, like 7 feet tall. Love you two. Have fun. I’ve done remodeling, don’t let the crazy part get to you. Just try and enjoy the ride.
The best bird box ever. Amy please do more DYI’s, so awesome!
The Fat Bird Cafe and the big-little digger dig are both inspiring and laugh out loud in equal measure. I guess that sums up what I love about you guys. Keep it coming!
I like the plan. When you said 6 French drains my mind switched to singing all the Days of Christmas. Y’all could make an EPIC song!
Me too!
You guys NEVER fail to crack us up😅 Aimee - that bird box is bloody lovely and the little lantern is soooo cute 🥲😱 that bigger digger ended up doing BITSS, what big progress! Very excited for your next instalment ❤
For your clothing storage problem, you should order some of those vacuum storage bags for clothes. Loving the series so far!
They are not mouse proof
Love the bird feeder. If you put a bird bath next to it, you will draw more birds. Very sweet, love you guys! Great job on the new house. :)
The greatest house reno on RUclips! Funny as hell, keep up the great work guys
Build a pickle ball court so when you need a car park you have it but you can play pickle ball other times. More fun than basketball. 💜
Plant trailing perennial flowers on top of the new wall, so they trail down in the summer.
For the carport area, how about an outdoor movie theatre with a campfire pit and lounge area
Small white gravel with raised veggie garden, fruit trees and flowers for picking and a whole lot of bird houses and squirrel mansions
I love the bird feeder, you are so creative, both of you are fearless and just such a cute couple. Love watching you. Thanks
I absolutely love Craig's new hairstyles and accessories. I hope this catches on with other guys.
Love the bird house. Make the carpark area a multi sports court, so basketball ball, tennis, badminton, roller skating, giant chess, hopscotch.Possibilities are endless.
Laughing so much at the building phase of the bird house! 😂😂😂 You two are comedy gold.
High five to you Aimee. Driving the equipment was epic. Bird house came out fantastic!! This is getting real and so exciting to see your dream house/land coming to life. And Craig, the bows 🤣😂.
As a giant bird nerd, I love your bird feeder! My only advice, use a screen bottom. Using a solid bottom will allow mold and bacteria to build up because moisture cannot drain through. Adore you both! I love these videos
Drilling some holes will help
@@beatdizzy It could help but in my experience, mold still builds up on the wood. That’s why when you buy platform feeders, they all have screen bottoms.
Picture this: An enclosed fenced in basketball/tennis court/shuffle board area, that also acts as a trellis for grapes so you can grow grapes and make your own wine and or jelly. The carport will be beside the court with a door that goes right into the under shed carport where you will also have a BBQ pit area as well as an outdoor fire pit area in front of Custard.
I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing while watching Aimee build her bird house. Great job!
I especially liked the side sawing technique!
Close all the doors windows, vents, etc on Custard. Then set one roof fan to exhaust (can your AC be set as an exhaust fan?). Leave that fan on 24/7. This will make sure that every tiny mouse sized hole is now an air _inlet_ (important). Now there are _no_ yummy smells going _out_ of Custard through all those small mouse sized holes. Mice will no longer be attracted. It may take a couple more days (weeks) of trapping and relocating (minimum of a mile) until all the ones that have learned about the Custard smorgasbord are relocated. Give it a shot. Works for me for years now.
The last few years I stopped dreaming a bit, and stopped creating a bucket list. Today I changed that, and started a brand new bucket list of all of the things I want to go do/see in the world. Thank you for inspiring me to dream build again!! Love you guys. BUZZING!! (my new fav word)
Suggestion. Store the bird food in a metal sealed container. Like a garbage can. To keep those cute little mice out of it. Nice bird condo Amy!
Aimee, you don't know what you don't know! This whole journey will be a learning curve and you are going to learn so much! When you come out the other side you will see how easy things are for you that now seemed so difficult! Love the bird box it is utterly charming just like you! Can't wait for next week! Continue having fun! Much love from San Diego
Loved seeing you both in a Houston Texans jumper as I live in Houston. Keeping your sense of humor is key when renovating. My husband & I did most of the work on our house after we flooded in Harvey. Being able to laugh at ourselves is one of the reasons our marriage survived our 5 1/2 renovation 🥰🥰🥰 (We didn't have flood insurance. We DO now!!)
I love watching them and everything they get up to . Craig loves Aimee. Amy loves Craig. They love their life. Looking forward to seeing the dream come true.
Fun playing with the Tonka toys lol. So happy for you two.
The happiness content is just what I needed. The Fat Bird Cafe turned out exactly as I dreamed it would. Perfect! Adorable! Cute! So Aimee!
Enjoyed your massive parking digging and the cute bird house! Nothing like homemade! Lucky Birdies! 🙃❤️
The bird house is... AMAZING!! Love it
HUGE baking soda boxes around the room where your clothes are. You could also add some moth balls in the corners. We put the big sized baking soda boxes in our crawl space (that's a half-height basement here I Northern Michigan) two feet apart. Twice a year, I bring them out and put them in the sun to dry out for a coup,e hours before replacing them. ❤😊
You did a ripper job on the Fat Bird Cafe Aimee … love it and that digger looks like awesome fun 🤩❤️
Never commented on YT before, but I have to say that I absolutely love watching you both, your videos are so entertaining they make me smile and laugh every time. Keep up the good work you're going to have the best home together.🥰
Great video!Kudos to the bird house, can't wait to see who comes to visit!
I think Craig should get his basketball ball court, but turns into ice rink in winter! Could also put a fireplace in one end or side with chairs/seats that can be stored under carport, if needed. Maybe an outdoor movie, by painting side of carport white, and use a portable projector. So many options!!
Love your birdhouse! Don’t forget to put some holes on the bottom so it can drain and the birdseed won’t get all wet and moldy. If you make another one cut a big hole in the middle and put screen on the bottom. You guys are amazing!
Many moons ago I lived in a Teepee tent, and mice were a real problem! They do not like the smell of dryer sheets, or washing detergent. I would put these in gaps and around the tent. Plus I found that storage boxes became essential for all my food. Initially I would set out traps with peanut butter but I think that just made things worse, because then they wanted to come in. Love your project, thank you for letting us be a part of your lives!
Amy, you are so cute. Love the birdhouse. Great job.
Maybe rent a storage locker temporarily for your things, clothes and such, if you dont want to part with them. Looking forward to watching the journey!
This is a very good idea
There are wick packets available that take moisture out of the air. You'd need a few sets so you can switch them out to dry, and put a dry set into the container, every few weeks, depending on the humidity level.
Brilliant video again ❤ loving the bob, that’s Aimee’s ‘I’m cute but get stuff done’ wig and Craig is just fun to watch when he having lots of fun. Keep up the amazing work xoxox
Aimee, dear, keep at it! You’ll master woodworking tools in no time. Plus, there are lots of RUclips videos for women, by women who are first learning. Really helped me tackle some DIY projects!
Thanks for the tips! I will absolutely keep at it AND check out some other diy ladies! 🥰🌹
@@kingingit 😁👏🎉🌟
I cannot believe this video went so fast. Loved every minute only wish it were longer. You entertain me every time. I know most of the work is the actual filming and editing but you make it so seamless as if we were there watching you daily. True comedic actors and professional directing and editing has never been matched on RUclips. Why on earth do you only have 350 thousand subscribers. I know y’all are climbing fast and will be skyrocketing in the near future. Y’all are the best by far. Ami( Trevor) i am a pretty serious diyer and my first bird house never looked that good. Kudos job well done. Please get a metal trash can with a tight lid to keep your bird seed in or the mice will pee all over it as they get in to it. Nasty little buggers. Pee and poop all over every place they go.
Made me laugh so much watching Aimee make the birdhouse! The little items just finished it off perfectly 😍 Please keep us updated on it's longevity 😘X
That bird house is just amazing, and the feeling you get from making it yourself is unbeatable ❤
I love Craig’s Texans shirt at the end! Watching from Houston Texas, home of the Texans!! Love you guys !!
Aimee, you sawing wood vertically made my day. You're a legend. I'm so happy watching this series, been following y'all for 4 years now. This is such a fun stage! Keep it up lads. House will be a banger when you're done xx
You guys never fail to put a smile on my dial 😁.. loving the Reno,s..🙏🤩❤️
For your mouse problem: highly suggest getting two cats. Bonus: if you get them from a shelter, you won't have to wait for them to grow up to start catching mice. (Note: suggested two so they can keep each other company when you're not around.)
Some rescues even adopt "barn cats" that are specifically suited for living a bit more outdoors than in. :)
Yes, two barn cats perfect!
I love to see your number of subscribers continually going up! I can't wait to see you hit 1 million! So deserving! You are definitely my favorite channel!
Those French drains are really going to help. I love you two, just a couple of dear hearts.💖
Apart from a home port for custard, an outdoor kitchen and dining area. Perhaps stone bbq, pizza / bread oven and chill out fire pit.
Here they are, the most beautiful people on YT ❤
House is looking good you guys. Smashing it 💥 xx
Thank you so much Liann ❤
love them!
@@kingingit your absolutely welcome 🤗
I wish I could help, I absolutely love getting my hands dirty xx
Great video! It is well edited. It is very entertaining. It is quite educational with creative ideas. Thank you for all your hard work. Love the bird house.
When we lived in an area with Kangaroo Mice, we packed things in the heavy black garden trash bags. They didn't seem to like those and we didn't have any problems. Worth a try. Also, all that bird food will attract the mice so be sure to put the feeders far from your home(s). Love watching you learn and take on all these projects.
Thank you for your amazing energy and positivity. You both bring much light. Use your old windows as you replace, to make a small glass green house in one corner of this magical new space to grow some vegetables. Using the retaining wall as the back. Xx
I love how Aimee cheers Craig on...regardless of the outcome. 🤣❤️ And vice versa. The birdhouse. And the reveal!!! I loved it. Now I want to make a bird house too! So much progress! You two make a great team! Oh and I love June's Journey!
BTW, once the house is done, if you're still having mice getting in do a walk around the house and look for how they're getting in. Sometimes there will be scratches or stains/marks made on paths they've used a lot. One easy solution is to use crumpled up aluminum foil to fill the openings, which can be as small as a US dime.
All my favorite channel and adventures are now building houses and i’m here for it! Just today, I’ve seen them on Costa Rica, Scotland, and Portugal!
You two are hilarious. I cant get enough of you guys. Pure entertainment and joy. I smile more watching you guys than anything else! Thank you for that. You guys captivate us and inspire us to be happier and better individuals. Much love guys. Place is coming along beautifully. The bird hotel is epic.
Much love and positivity to Craig and Amy for their wonderful journey ahead. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Keep up the amazing work.
I LOVE watching the progress!
The main thing is you're having a great time!!!😂 And so are we.
You summed it up in a few short words. Kudos!!!
Pickleball court baby! So much fun to play. Everyone can get evolved even Aimee. Well maybe lol 😂. Would love to see Aimee play. Great job on your bird house. Love it!
THANK YOU for your positivity and realness (no requirement to be overly positive)
Used to watch movies on the garage doors when I was little. Dad would borrow the projector from work and hand a sheet up. Bam! Outdoor movie theater, then half the neighborhood kids would show up as well
Amy building a birdhouse is your BEST content ever!! 🤩🎉😂🫣
Love, love, love watching you two having a good time!!! It's a dream project!!!
I was literally typing a comment about how I don't think I've ever seen you so happy, confident, and relaxed - when you told that story about the stress pill comment! WILD! I can tell you guys are BUZZIN 💜💜💜
Love the all rock retaining wall, and rock steps idea. Good job adding the french drains or the seepage could undermine the rock wall. If I had that space I could imagine a small portion as a proper car port while the landing above could be home to a massive fire pit, chairs, bbq, and whatnots for people to hang. You could use even more of the stones for the fire pit! Stone themes to be the theme lol.
All the sanding next to that Mac has scared me for life. Also longer episodes please!
About your open space you are soon to have… please consider a bocce/pétanque court. It will leave room for Craig’s basketball court ( Trev look away lol). But also room for lorries. Really fun to play!! Great for friends and neighbors and I promise you will love the game!!! By the way LOVED your birdhouse Amy!!!!!
My favorite 2 people on RUclips!! I know u needed a rest and to sort things out, but not having weekly vlogs, I just realized how much I missed you! Very excited for this reno!! You are smashing it! Keep up the great work!!! Trev, B-e-a-utiful bird cafe!!!!Can't wait for the footage!!
I had such a good laugh over this video. Loved that you're trying new things, both of you! The bird house is great Aimee!!
'Of course it's my hand, look at my engagment ring.' 🤣🤣🤣 Dying, dying, dead... Never change, Amy. Never change.
You both are just cuteness overload! Watching you always makes me laugh and lifts my spirits! Love the groovy birdhouse!!! Absolutely need a basketball court!!!!
Get a metal garbage can with metal lid big enough to put all your bird seed in so animals, rats, mice cannot get in and eat it. Also. Your clothes are also something they can get into and ruin. Just a thought. Love the bird house cafe. Great job both of you on all your hard work.💖👍🏻🤗
With all that clay I would build a earth oven❣️
The last layer you can sculpt into whatever you fancy and add rocks, shells….sea glass.
Soooo much fun to bake in from pizza down to yogurt!
Great to do with a bunch of your mates while taking in the wonderful view….♥️🙌♥️
Since you have so much spare time on your hands, why don’t you do two episodes a week! One is not enough. You are so entertaining! Love you guys!
It’s so exciting to see the work coming along on your dream cottage.
I love your birdfeeder, Aimee, it’s so creative. Came up beautifully and remember Aimee……… basketball is good exercise. And it helps to reduce stress. 😘
I already loved you all, this takes it next level. Hands down…already my favorite videos to date.
