I know you have been in the new place for a while already and this is not "news" but this is what we live for: matching people to places where they feel happy, safe and secure. So wonderful and so happy to re-live the purchase of your new home with you. It is lovely and you will just make it better and better by it being yours. Congratulations and thank you for the addicting videos that I watch at all hours of the day and night because I always learn something! PS: Your "powder room" LOL is a FULL BATH!!! Score! PS: Your "half bath" off the bonus room is also a FULL BATH!!! LOL your bathrooms are all full baths ... (FYI when you have a toilet, sink AND a shower and/or bath - it's a FULL. Powder aka "half bath" is a sink/toilet. All 3 is a "full"). You scored again!

    For your greenhouse maybe consider digging out at the lower part of the slope and putting the greenhouse in ground partway. The warmth from being in ground could be very helpful and being dug in wont impact your view nearly as much.

  • @susanstark5719
    @susanstark5719 2 года назад +48

    You asked for ideas... consider putting your canning kitchen in the walk out basement. You can walk right in from the garden to prep and process your harvest. You will be right next to your planned root cellar/canned goods storage with no stairs up and down with produce or finished items! Also you will be cooler in the basement with less need for the AC. This will also keep the main floor cooler by not having the canning kitchen next to your main kitchen. Looks like the basement is large enough for the canning kitchen, your food storage area AND Josh's drum studio. 🥁 Best of luck to you both and congratulations on the new homestead!

      Tremendous idea - especially the difference in temps - much less stress on the kitchen equipment and hvac in summer/fall when harvests are pulled in - AND you can get a golf cart or side by side with a tow point to attach a gorilla cart or something similar to help you pull in your harvests right up to the sliding doors so that you can detach the cart and pull it right inside.

    Becky! It's amazing!
    Consider..... A kitchen couch! My grandma had a beautiful couch that I was going to put downstairs when she passed, but it didn't fit 😂. So we put it in the kitchen temporarily, and realized it's the literal best part of our entire house.
    We can snuggle on it, watch sunsets, relax when there is something to keep an eye on in the kitchen, and curl up on with a snack. Not to mention the ability for your guests or partner to be so comfy and hang out with you while you cook. Whatever you do will be perfect though, I can't wait to see it!

What an amazing blessing! So incredibly happy for you! Keep being you! Oh and I vote for the canning kitchen ;) Now instead of Acre Homestead you can be “Homestead with a View”!

    Hey, just wanted to let you know that there's a device called a Solar Pathfinder that you can buy, set up anywhere on a piece of property, and it'll show you what the projected sun pattern will be for that spot for the entire year based off trees, slope, ect. It's mostly used when installing solar panels to track how much sun/shade an area gets. Worth looking into

    Hi Becky. This is exciting news. One thing I want to point out is you most likely have a septic tank and they require a drain "field" so before you plant anything or build anything find out where the septic and drain field are because there are restrictions on putting anything in those areas. Get a copy of your property description from the county you're in with a drawing where your septic is and ask about drain field restrictions. It will save you a big headache. Cheers and congrats!

    I am so insanely happy for you two!!!!!!! That is AMAZING!!!!!!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️ My dad bought a house 17 years ago. It was too small, but the house next door was still being built and it was already a lot bigger. But because it was not finished, we had to wait over a month for them to finish. Then we moved in to the new NEW house and sold the previous one that was too small. The following year when he was doing his income taxes, it turned out that he owed the government an additional $10,000 due to the fact that he owned two properties in that previous year. So be aware of that when next year rolls around. You might be a little strapped for cash again. But this is an absolutely amazing house! I am so happy for you guys! 💙💙💙

    As a “wood shop wife”, I’d use that cottage for canning. The garage has the capacity to load large sheets of wood and large tools.
    You need as much space as possible for wood projects. Just to rip a sheet of plywood down, you need a full sheet of space on both sides!
    How FUN!
    Again I’m so excited for you both!

    • @auntlouise
      @auntlouise 2 года назад +7

      Yes! Canning outside of the house is great to keep from overheating your house! It's also easier to organize your canning all in one place without having to stash it all away in cupboards and drawers every time you finish canning and need to make dinner!

    • @AmandaJNightingale
      @AmandaJNightingale 2 года назад +9

      I agree. Also the cottage would make a great "summer kitchen" for those things you need to do in the summer months like canning that you don't want to heat up the main house. I bake a lot of bread, would put an oven out there for that purpose too.

    I am absolutely thrilled for you, Becky!!! It really is the perfect home for the two of you, and for all your projects. My instinct is that Josh’s shop should be in the garage room and you should get that canning kitchen. If at a later point you wanna buy a boat, you can change things around - it won’t be impossible. And that amount of space for his shop will be awesome for him, too.

    A recommendation I heard from another RUclipsr who bought a farm with a house that needed renovation - live in the place for a year before you do any major changes or renovations. Things that seem like a great idea can be nulled by a factor you are unaware of or can't foresee right now. It could be a location that floods when it rains, or a room that doesn't get light that you need for projects. You will also settle into a routine and naturally realize what suits you best for how to organize the space. This will help prevent any financial disasters that could have been avoided.

    Becky this home is a beautiful blessing. "If your gifted a handful of seeds, God will bless you with the ground to grow them in". And I defiantly believe that God has bless you with all this beautiful land and gardens to allow you to grow there. Many blessings from our homestead to yours.

    Hello becky!
    I’ve got a suggestion for your vegetable garden, since you plan to regrade your property you’ll have lots and lots of earth to redistribute, so you could do tall raised beds! You could make them hip height so you don’t have to crouch down to weed and harvest your crop. That way the soil that your plants are growing in are going to be elevated with the sun hitting them all day so the soil is warmer and your growing season is longer. I’ve had raised beds like this and it’s really been amazing having everything at eye level without needing to bend over to inspect my plants!
    I’m so very exited for this new chapter in your life! And jealous for all the planning that you’ll need to do for your garden!

    LOVE YOUR HOUSE!!!! I would definitely make the woodshop in the garage! That way he can store wood outside, work on BIG or small projects and have TONS of storage for those bulkier tools. Then having that smaller space for canning would be great because it LOOKS like it is off the backyard which would help for carrying in the harvest!

    • @plantsbythemoon9049

    Congratulations! Very happy for you and Josh on the new spread. Idea: Maybe consider embedded raised garden beds for the new garden terracing. Easier to do... you may even be able to do it yourself, lower cost, and you can start using them as you go. Also, less bending over to plant and work --- make the natural incline of the hill work for you!

I'd bet the Lord secretly guided some of the original owners' decisions when they were building it, knowing that He wanted you and Josh to have it down the road. With all the doom and gloom going on in the world right now, seeing someone realize such a precious, beautiful blessing as this, is so encouraging. All the best to you both and I greatly look forward to following all the future videos as you make this new place your own. God bless!

Great that your husband will have areas of his own even if you take the workshop next to the garden
