    Surely they make an aluminum or steel cap to put over the duct opening into your house otherwise you may have visitors inside your house. I would even put metal fine mesh screen over the vent openings so as to keep spiders from slipping in too! Just a thought!❤🤣

    I’ve been waiting now for over five years for our family to find a farm. I know it’s Gods will and Gods timing. Saying that is easy, living in the time of waiting is hard.
    I know it must be tough to be a family in a small space. But you all show so many people, me included, how to smile waiting on God and keep persevering.
    The fact you all show a happy family serving God and living within your means during tough economic times preaches. It shows so many that even when it’s hard to wait God gives us meaningful insight and growth in the wait.
    I will pray for your family. I love your family videos and have been blessed to watch you for years now. What you do matters❤

    Mike-I am going to give suggestions(sorry,but can't help it).You can get rid of yellow jackets with a solution of water and ammonia.A squirt of dish soap,about two or three tablespoons of ammonia in a squirt bottle of water. Have a bunch of this solution on hand while you spray them.A Hudson sprayer would be a better idea for a big nest.
    We used to scrap out old a/c units,and we made more money doing that than my hubby's regular job! If you ever get a line on old a/c's,scrapping them is a great family part time income,and our kids loved to take them apart.Everyone pitched in,and we let the boys have the bucket of loops that they got from cutting off the rusty metal strip that held them.We used a saws-all.We even had a heating and air conditioning company drop off the units that they were changing out! It was a sweet sideline.

    Once we had been living in a rental home for a few months when my oldest son started making claims of seeing a black widow spider. I thought he was confusing it with a grape spider which were plentifold in that area and i didnt really think he knew the difference. Of course in each case he stomped the m so you could no longer tell.
    He was making so many sightings i handed him a canning jar and told him to catch me one or two figuring i was going to point out the characteristics which proved him wrong. I figured it would be a day or two but it was less than an hour when he returned with my quart jar with over a dozen spiders and they were all black widows.
    Did i mention this was when the movie Arachnaphobia was out?
    Wasted no time calling the pest guy and began cleaning every nook and cranny inside the home looking fir evidence of any spiders.
    The pest guy opened one of the entrances going under the house to shine a light under revealing what i would describe (maybe exaggerating a tad) as hundreds upon hundreds of spider egg sacks, being guarded over by plenty of adult spiders. We were black widow central just like the movie!!!!
    Fortunately he was able to take care of the problem, but i definitely get the heebee geebees just thinking about going undea house since then.
    The amazing blessing God gave us in that we never found any inside the house.

    • @1stbadger700
      @1stbadger700 20 дней назад +4

      I suspect it has to do with air seeping into the house from below the yurt. He will have to seal those vents but the old duct work is leaky I’m sure.

    I got rid of all sugar in my house and only use monk fruit or stevia. The small 1930's house I live in had no insulation under the house, so I got permission to put some down there. It made all the difference in the world in the winter and also when it's warmer out. Have you thought about installing hot water on demand? It was a common thing many years ago (way before it ever came to the US) in Europe and I loved it, and wished I had it again. If I owned this place I def would put it in.

No I don't use spay on our trees or in our garden. When the soil is right we seldom see garden eating bugs. The tree was planted from a seed by my grandmother from a grocery store bought orange 🍊. She did the same with other fruits such as peach & those "Little cute" Little oranges. She has passed on but the work she did when she was on this earth we still benefit from.😊 As always love yalls show!

    My favorite hot tea is Jasmine, with licorice root being my second-favorite. I don't use any sweetener in those or mint teas, because I do think they're naturally sweet enough, but if I'm having a citrus-infused tea, I might go with a little honey. And YES to the cream in hot black tea and either natural sugar or honey in that (just a little). It looks like you've done a BIG project by getting that ductwork out! I am praying for the prosperity and smoother sailing for your family so you can accomplish your list of "to-do's" easier and without trouble. Thank you for taking us along on your journey!
