We're back at the project house this week and we are SO excited about the progress we've made! It's been so gratifying to complete rooms and see the house transform before our eyes, but this week it's a different kind of satisfaction as we were able to take something old and give it new life in the house!
Throughout the demolition process, we took SO MUCH shiplap out of the house and- my gosh- some of the wood was so so so stinking cool. We knew from the first board we removed that we wanted to reincorporate it somewhere in the house. The transition between the kitchen and dining room (where the 2 houses were put together) was a problem just asking for one of these boards to be its solution. Make a faux beam from a single piece of reclaimed shiplap you say? No big deal, right? Oh goodness me... no. This thing was a challenge for a variety of reasons, but we overcame and made it work!
Of course we still had lots to do back at home, including harvesting the honey from our bees and prepping the hives for their first winter OUTSIDE! Come along with us as we continue to wrap up the fall chores and get back to knocking another fun project off the to-do list!

Loved this video! On My dad’s lil 100 acre farm in Upstate NY we had honey bees & a bee keeper that just gave us combs & about 100 jar’s of honey each yr for letting them use our land. Of course we had animals & gardens too but I never knew that was a way to access the honey in a homestead. Thank you for showing us all this wonderful content! The beam looked sensational ( a lot of work I am sure). Loved seeing you and Teddy praying again😊. How much honey do you think you collected Jenna? Pray bees are safe for the winter!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
I'm in CNY 😊
@@pinkmosquito22 cool!
Wow that is an incredible tradeoff! We absolutely love having the honeybees around! We dont get a ton of honey, but its still worth it! We only got abotu 7 gallons of honey this year. We also hope they do well this way over the winter!
Yes, the beam wasnt exacly easy, but we do think it turned out great! God Bless! Have a great week!
@@TheLiFeInPines Well they were allowed 2 acres by the water & had 20 or so hive boxes. I believe they sold a lot of the honey to stores from what my Dad told me later. We were a family of 9 so we used that honey in our hot cereal & to bake with on the farm. Funny how you don’t realize Blessing’s until you are much older and you see the price of a small jar of 🍯! Have a beautiful week ❤️🙏!
That is so cool! We love using honey in place of refined sugar when we can in recipes! And that is so true. It's eye opening to look back and see all the ways we've been blessed or when prayers were answered and we didn't even realize!
Fantastic job on the beam, again with removing nails and working on two different structures pieced together but you turned the place into a beautiful home again. The honey turned out awesome and now Ted’s back will be saved from all that lifting of the hives to prepare them for winter. Hope the hives survive the winter in the new location it looks like they will be warm with what you have insulated them with. Never fails Ted always hits his head on that fixture the table will stop that once it’s in place. Enjoy your beautiful fall weather and prepare for winter coming to your location soon. Great Saturday video to enjoy with my coffee.
Thank you so much, Joe! We hope the bees like this winter set up, too! The legs for the table will be here TODAY, so I will be getting that table in there ASAP! 😂 Its already been snowing so winter is knocking on our door! Hope you are all prepared for winter as well! Have a great week!
What a beautiful video!! Wonderful effort and accomplishment with the faux beam. So glad that you did burnish the edges with the screwdriver, you truly cannot tell that it is not a real beam🤩🤩
The honey is pure liquid GOLD😘😘Of course, it would not be a complete honey harvest without listening to "The Gear Daddies" - "African Killer Bees".
We are below freezing today in Tropical Southern Minnesota and you folks truly warmed my heart with the bonfire. I have so many memories of sitting around a large fire when it was cold. The final item to talk about is --> who is in charge of the "Fire Stick"?🔥🌡🔥🔥
God Bless and Fear Not, for God is in control.
Colossians 3:23
Proverbs 16:3
Philippians 2:14-15
Thanks so much, Todd! Haha we’ll have to look up and listen to the African killer bees! 😅 And yes, winter has officially arrived whether we’re ready for it or not! Hopefully it holds off a bit longer for you down in tropical southern mn! 🌴 ☀️
All four of us help out with the fire, but Ted was responsible for the 2 GIANT logs that kept ‘er blazin until the morning!! God bless and have a great week!
One of your pine cones dropping in to see your creativity as you take on another challenge. Great approach and to the beam and it turned out excellent. I loved the idea of rolling the edge on the 45s to hide the seam, great idea for working with old distressed wood. Your next biz venture could be T&J Custom Beams 😊 The honey process was interesting to watch and appeared to be very effective, great work on winterizing the hives. I'll pray it all works out for you as planned 🙏 Kudos to you once gain Jenna on the excellent editing, filming, and assembling the various pieces into such an enjoyable vid. Weaving together, project, outside, family time and your humorous clips and mistake always make these so very enjoyable. Love watching The LIfe in Pines ♥ Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Hi there! thanks for dropping in! 🌲 Haha thanks so much! The beam did turn out quite nice! We also hope the bees like their new set up for winter. Thank you for the kind words! Editing is such a creative outlet for me and I'm always learning about new editing and filming techniques to get better and better. Ted and I are so glad you're enjoying, Larry! We hope you have a great week!
Very nice solid Hootis ceiling holder. lol. Y’all keep up the great work. How could we get our hands on some of that golden honey you created? Blessings from Virginia.
lol ceiling holder! Love it! The honey has all been spoken for this year but hopefully in the future we will be able to harvest more to sell! God bless and have a great week!
The beam looks fantastic! Great job on the cuts Ted. Never seen honey spinning? Before. Jenna, your hair looks amazing. wow, so beautiful.
He did great!! The honey harvesting process is SO cool, isnt it? And thank you for the compliment on my hair. ☺️ Youre too kind.
Awesome video! Great job making that beam work. After stepping on a bee when I was younger, there's no way I would go near a hive. Apparently they like you. 😁Thanks for another great episode!
Thanks so much! Oh no! So sorry you had that experience when you were younger! Honeybees are natrually not aggressive (though Ted did get stung during this process, and has been stung MANY times) but he usually says it was 'his fault' and accidently squished one or something. Its different when you have a traumatic experience as a kid though!
The beam looks way better recessed into the drywall for sure!
I giggled when I saw the light swaying in one of the clips... I just knew 😂
I was going to ask you guys about the wardrobe! Definitely looked intentional 😄
Clifford is growing like a weed! I swear he's become a teenager over night!
Yes! We're so glad it worked out like that! Haha yep... new table coming soon so no more banging is head on it!
I guess great minds think a like.... when it comes to wardrobe color schemes! lol! I know! Clifford is almost as big as Wilho!!
Another excellently put-together video. Great work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
I'm sure you've heard the saying 'on a wing and a prayer'; I like that you work on a prayer and let's wing it. Good job.
Haha yes we have, but i LOVE the new rendition! "Work on a prayer and lets WING IT!" That is so us! Love it!
That beam is a nice reminder of how far you have come with that property. I hope your plan for wintering the bees outside works. A lot of respect for your beekeeping. A lot of folks don't realize how important they are to our survival. I'm sure you get a lot of requests, but I would love to have a jar of your honey. I love honey in my coffee.
Yes! Ooh it took us back to demo days when we were pulling those nails!
We hope so too! 🤞🏼🐝 Beekeeping is takes a lot of time and money! But you’re absolutely right about how vital they are to human survival! We didn’t have a big honey harvest. We only had 2 hives, plus the swarm which we didn’t harvest any honey from. But we hope to be more successful with each year and be able to harvest more and sell it!
LOVE that yall pray before you start your projects!
Praying always! On and off film! 🤍 🙏🏼
Are you sure Ted works in a hospital? I'm starting to think he moonlights as a finish carpenter! Great job on the beam; rolling the edges was such a good idea to conceal the mitered edge!
Haha yes! And I know, he has always been so good at everything he does! And makes everything look so stinkin easy! 😂
Great video,such a nice family
You are so kind, thank you so much!
😃💖👍👍👏
That was awesome!! It came out beautiful 😍!! Jenna, I love your hair it looks good on ya!!
Thanks, Cedric! Haha I’m so surprised about the comments on my hair! Lol thank you!
@@TheLiFeInPines you are very welcome it looks good on you!!
I love how the beam turned out y’all!!! Keep up the amazing work!!! 💙💙💙
Thanks for always cheering us on! We appreciate it! 🤗
Another job well done! You two always rock-it....whatever the “it” happens to be!
I have to say, watching the work that goes into those honey bees is absolutely fascinating! It is indeed, liquid gold.
On another note: Just thought I’d share w/you that I’m gettin’ pretty close to the 70 year mark.😳
So I consider myself to be more “straw” than cones, needles, or nuts. 😬😆
Love my, The Life In Pines fam♥️
Awe thanks so much! Yes, the bees truly are fascinating! I could listen to Ted talk about the bees for hours. They are so so amazing!
lol, pine straw it is!!! No matter what kind of pine you are, Ted and I are just glad you’re here! 🌲 🤍
Beam looks magnificent, sure looks like it's always been there. That honey looks so good. You need to develop a market for it. Good homegrown honey is hard to fine in this area. Blessings! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much, Ron!
We definitely don’t have a big enough operation do honey on a bigger scale. Beekeeping is a very expensive hobby and takes a lot of time- contrary to what most people think! We typically just break even on honey sales vs yearly expenses. ☺️
Beekeeping is still a worthy cause and Ted has really developed a love for it!
🤗❤❤✌Nice to see you at Jody and Summer's wedding. Everyone looked so beautiful.
I was so happy to be able to be there for their big day! Summer and I have known each other for over a year but this was the first time we actually got to meet in person!!
Awesome, your problem solving skills is key to making the project great.
I once had a capitan in the army, he always said "if it looks good it is good".
Great work you guys. ❤
I love that motto! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks for another great video. The beam is so cool looking. Thanks for showing the bees. The songs you play in the videos are very good. Jena, your hair is so beautiful. And it is still sunny and warm here in Yuma, and there is no snow 😂
Awe! Thanks Charley! Yes, we love how the beam turned out, too! Haha I always say "music is my love language" so the songs are important to me! And thank you! I've had several compliments on my hair from this video! I appreciate that so much! Sunny and warm sounds lovely! It's snowy and 29 degrees here! brrr!!
I was thinking you guys were going to resess it to begin with. I would have recessed it to begin with think it looks so much better recessed.
Yes! It looks so much better recessed in. It makes it look like it was meant to be! Thanks for the comment! We hope you have a great week!
😊🌲❤️
wow i cant believe i just saw you with Cody & Summer of the youtube channel Can't Contain Us i did not know you knew that what small world
Yes! Summer and I have been friends for probably over a year now, but that was the first time we got to meet in person!
That beam looks great. Fantastic compromise 😂 I know nothing on bees/honey, does the honey collection take long?
Thanks so much, Kristina! It really depends on how many hives you have! We only had 2 hives, so from taking the honey frames off the hive to final clean up, it took an entire day and we harvested approximately 7 gallons of honey!
thanks for another video, the thing im liking about your content is the can do attitude you both have, you just getter done, part of life is taking on the unknown horizon with optimism instead of fear, the faux beam is an example of this along with how the kitchen turned out, then look at the awesome deck, you seen gold in the repurposed materials in it, god bless
You hit the nail on the head! Thanks so much for your kind words! Ted and I hope you have a blessed week!
That hunny, my word!!! And that shot with the jar with the bell and 1776 way cool! I wanted to eat it through the tv.
Isn’t that THE COOLEST jar!?!? I picked that one specifically for the video bc I love it!
The honey looks really good. The beam looks great, it would have taken us awhile to figure out how to do something like that. Good job.
Oh it took us a LONG time, Jill! We were joking about how long it took us to do such a "simple" project! 🤣
A happy wife is a happy life. Always best to compromise. Besides, how can you say no to that beautiful smile.
Haha we both do our fair share of compromising! 😉
Love love love the beam.
Yay, thank you so much! Ted and I apprecite it!
That beam is awesome!
Thank you! We love it, too!
Love from one of your pine cones!😂 to the Mrs., your hair looks great!
🌲💚 And thank you! A couple others have commented on my hair in this video! 🤷🏼♀️
Yummy Bee Honey 😋
The BEST!!!! 🍯 🐝

Nice job on the beam 👍😎
Thanks so much! We appreciate it! 😊
these lil things you are freaking about...WILL NOT make a damn to guests..believe me, I think back about things I wanted so perfect and then I have to throw away dish rags and towels and bath cloths and etc etc...I STILL LOVE BEING A SUPER HOST.
Haha oh my goodness! I know there will be a lot of hard lessons learned in the first year (as with taking on any new endeavor!) Its just our personality to make everything as perfect as it can be... We will have to deal with the consequenses later! lol
yea...perfection is my personality also,,,I still try to make everything perfect looking ...BUT IT IS FOR ME NOW.@@TheLiFeInPines
Gosh, I just Love you guys❣️
Oh my gosh, you are too kind! 🥰
Nice job on the beam. Always loved honey harvest when I was a kid. We had a heated electric knife to decap the honey comb, which kinda cooked the caps for some really good cap chewing. Is that still a thing? As always great video.😊
Thank you, Steve! Yes, Ted has seen the heated knives but he prefers his decapping tool (or whatever you want to call it) He finds it relaxing to do. Burnt cappings do sound SO GOOD! We do chew on them, too! Thanks again and have a great week!
@@TheLiFeInPines it is called a recapping hootis,😄
Meant recapping hootis 😄
Twice I have tried decapping when push send came out recapping
Great job!!❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
👍
