    Hi Kim, that little puddy tat Hank is adorable, as are all the doggies, soo precious. Lovely things people sent you; that antique toilet paper I would probably frame for the powder room. Hi to Kaleb.

    Oh my, Hank is just too precious!!! I couldn't help but gasp when I saw him in the thumbnail. 💕

    Hey Kim, wow that TP was a great find and so nice of her to send it. I understand heat, I'm in Georgia and even with AC and ceiling fans it's warm in our house. Stay in the room with AC and keep those beautiful pets with you out of that heat.

    I highly recommend a whole house fan, pull that hot air out. On cooler evenings, open a window or two and that fan and the difference it makes. Summers growing up, we shut off my attic bedroom, I moved into my little sis room where we had window units in. We always ran that fan up there though, you could tell within minutes if it was off.

    Kim I finally sent the email I promised you. I can’t wait for you and Kaleb to read it. And yes I’m guilty of buying toilet paper from 1930s… the guy at the flea market thought I was insane but I don’t care lol

    Antique toilet paper is a brilliant find. Out of everything subscribers might send you, that never crossed my mind. We out here would never have gotten to see it if it weren't for this project & that wonderful subscriber!!!!! Oh - and the Happiest of Birthdays wished for Hank.

    Love Hank and happy birthday to him. I have 3 kitties and one pooch. Everyone gets along and sometimes even groom each other. Glad your guys get along. That TP put a smile on my face. Very funny.
    On the heat I understand. I work in a greenhouse and understand the heat. Please don't make yourself sick and do only what you can. Lots of water does help as well as bandanas soaked in water. Take it easy and we'll still be here.

    Ah, the hottest part of the year is starting again. Air con is not generally a thing in the UK, but I do have a pretty good fan so I set it up yesterday. Take care, Kim and Kaleb, don’t overheat. 🥵 Hank hasn’t been in a video for a while, it’s good to see him again. Happy birthday to him.

    Can't blame you for wanting to take time away from working on the house.This heat is just too much.That was so cool to see vintage toilet paper.It's going to look good in the bathroom cabinet.People can find some of the coolest stuff that I wouldn't have thought was still around.Nice to see your little Kitty he is so precious.Take care both of you and your little Fur babies.Can't wait to see what's next but, take it easy with everything in this hot weather.

    Hi Kim, always enjoy watching what you receive in the mail. The person who sent you the toilet paper was super kind to send such a unusual gift for the house. I think that was cool n to think there’s still toilet paper of that area still around. In that time of area I’m sure people were thrilled to have it even though they my walk around with sore bottoms LOL. I couldn’t resist that as you said it felt like tissue paper
    Wishing Hank a happy birthday .
    Take care knowing that it’s so hot right now. Living in Florida it’s so very hot also n the humidity doesn’t help either.
    Stay cool our friend.
    ♥️😊👍👍

    So glad to hear from you, Kim! I kinda figured the extreme heat had brought everything to a standstill at the house. We've been toughing it out too and it's supposed to be even hotter next week, ugh! The antique toilet paper is insane! It is amazing what ends up surviving over time. I do "junk journals" too and save all kinds of scraps for them. I make miniature boxes as well for teeny tiny paper dolls. And so happy you have a kitty as well as the dogs and he's chill with the new premises.

  • @debbralehrman5957
    @debbralehrman5957 2 года назад

    It's good to hear that Hank settle right in. Like you said The dogs thank you and Caleb have been there. So it probably felt
    or smelt more like home.
    What a cool gift. Maybe you can make a
    shadow box for it in the Water Closet. I think that is what they use to call them. I hope you all stay comfy with your weather.
    Be well and God Bless.😊

  • @katherinegeddie7687
    @katherinegeddie7687 2 года назад

    I hope you get some fans in addition to the air-conditioner. It helps a lot. The heat index was 105 where I live in Louisiana today. We have air-conditioners and fans. It is STILL hot inside. Please stay hydrated and put an ice cube in your pets water to help them too. I hope you both take it easy during this heat wave.

  • @brendab3204
    @brendab3204 2 года назад

    Fun tip for century homes when super hot. My great grandfather would hose down the outside walls and roof as much as possible each night. It helps to release all the heat that has built up during the day. That way the house doesn’t radiate heat all night. Remember too heat rises, so you can crack open top floor windows to encourage the hot air to circulate up and out.

    • @secondempirestrikesbackvlo2578
      @secondempirestrikesbackvlo2578  2 года назад +1

      This is fantastic advice thank you. Kaleb told me the bricks gather heat all day and release it into the house at night. Which is great for winter but phew it ain’t nice right now.

    Happy birthday Hank! I understand having a long lived cat: I got my little black cat Chloe when I was just 19 and she lived for the next 21 years enduring cross-country moves and airline flights. I joke that she lived long enough to graduate University!
    The vintage toilet paper is an absolute gem!
    Stay safe in the heat. I'm visiting my mother in Des Moines, IA and it's going to be dangerously hot for the next few!

    Happy, happy birthday, Hank! He’s so sweet - I have a soft spot for tuxedo cats and he’s just perfect. I can see how he and Max would vibe and get along. Glad everyone’s together now and staying cool.
    Such nice things and sentiments you received! The toilet paper is a real showstopper - how kind of your viewer to think of you and part with it. The books were beautiful and I’d have to stay cool by settling in with one and a glass of ice tea for an afternoon read!
    You’re the first person I’ve ever run into who also dreams of driving the entire Blue Ridge Parkway from one end to the other! It’s been something I’ve wanted to do since (How can this be true?! And yet, it is!) before you were even born! Most people’s eyes glaze over at the first mention. I first was on part of it as a kid - I loved it and I swore then that someday…
    You and Kaleb stay cool and keep your furry companions cool as well!

    No doubt having the old house smell on the dogs when they go home helped Hank, too. It had become a familiar smell.
