    Today is an exciting day for the exterior of my fixer upper house!! Jay & I are installing my new DREO porch ceiling fan and it looks amazing! After that, my mom and I are working on cleaning up the pile of stones and building a stone wall!
    Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

    If you finish the porch ceiling with beadboard and paint it light blue like the sky. Its supposed to keep wasps and hornets from building nests.

    If you have any standing water on the property, you can use eco-friendly "pucks" to control mosquitos. I used them in my pond & also installed bat houses on the perimeter of my property & it worked great.

    I can see friends and family using the stone wall to sit on while you host a summer party or fall. Even if it is temporary it can be useful and fun by sitting a pot of beautiful flowers on it. Endless possibilities!!

    I greatly enjoy watching all this hard work turning a pile of rubble into a very pretty rock wall and I wish I had the strong back to work that way. I love to create but in my late sixties and my back can’t handle picking up heavy things. I’m so happy for you Abby and watching you call your mom “mama” reminds me of when my mom was still here and I spent time with her in her garden. Cherish this forever. Excited for your next phase… priming?! ❤

    Good idea for the ceiling fan for the porch. You won't regret it! Your home is going to be fabulous! I particularly love how you and Jay put the piece of leaded glass over the bathroom door upstairs. Keeping what history you can is commendable. I've been watching for a long time, over a year. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the land, it's really a cool location. It would be nice when you can afford to buy the barn next door!

    Make a living wall with succulents. I was thinking about that for the bigger river wall. River would be a great backdrop, small stone patio with a bistro table set. Brunch by the river.

    You could put white soffit under your porch roof. It would allow for air flow, if the metal roof had condensation. The white would make it brighter. Less spots for bee, wasps to build nests.

    I could never understand how pushing the air down would cause a breeze and make it cooler in the hot months since heat rises, wouldn't that just push the hot air down over you? And for winter having it move the air upwards wouldn't that just move the colder air from the floor over you and make you feel colder? I have my fan set in the opposite way from what every tells you to do because we have a very small livingroom our fan is in and it works better for us that way. Love your stone wall! I can just see it with some plants in pots on top of it.

    I love watching your videos & I for 1, can't wait to see your house painted. I do hope your final decision was the Chantilly lace color for your walls.
    Abby, you are an inspiration, a role model, an example to ALL young girls & women. I know your mom & dad are so proud of you. Keep up the good work & keep making your 150ish year old house looking more & more beautiful each & every day.

    With all the work you went through with that Stonewall, it would’ve been nice if you would’ve put a small L shaped stone wall at the entrance to your driveway - on either side. Not too close to vehicles, but it would enhance the look of your entrance. Could even put a solar light on either side on top.
