  • In this video we get ourselves involved in a harrowing effort to free a trapped kitten from between our home's foundation. We tirelessly attempted to rescue him while simultaneously doing a fair amount of damage to our historic home. The aftermath of the rescue mission was quite severe and cost us a weekend of hard labor to rectify it. Watch what takes place and how we go about fixing the damage we caused to our home while also tackling many other weekend home projects here at old maple home.

    You were right, saving the kitten was the right thing to do. However, it also shows what a loving Christian couple and how you live your life. How about just painting the front post black to match the hose. It will recede into the bed and will not stand out. Your flowers and landscape look wonderful!

    Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get blooms this year Elizabeth. Due to being disrupted they may need time to readjust but next year for sure. You may get blooms but not as flushed as you might have expected but given time to reacclimate next year should be a real show for you. Perennials are sometimes a little finicky but if we are patient they will perform. Looking good in the yard with all your projects the last couple years. Next summer Mom and Dad will have a third little helper with projects. Enjoy every phase for they do grow fast and you’ll wonder where the years went! Thanks for sharing a peek into your busy weekend. I always enjoy watching someone else doing all the chores as I take a break from my own schedule of projects!!!:):):)

    Awww sweet kitty sounds🐱 That's so awesome you guys did everything you could, including tearing up the porch, to save that sweet kitty! Most people would never think to go that far! Well you did get a fresh set of steps from the rescue mission😉 I remember the days of watering! When we lived in NC, out in the country i had flowers & flowers beds everywhere. Most I had to water by hose. We did have A sprinkler system put in because it was totally wooded & we cleared just over a acre for the house & yard. In order to have grass it was definitely necessary! But lots of areas were away from the sprinklers, as well as parts of the area where we were trying to grow the grass. So yeah, i hated those hoses when they got tangled🫤 We did have the soaker hoses around the house itself where shrubs were planted. Those hoses you have are very cool, haven't seen those before! You have beautiful yard, & beautiful flowers! I love the blue & yellow💙💛Those are the kind of hydrangeas my old granny had at both ends of her porch. I remember thinking how cool it was that they would be different colors! She also had some of the white ones mixed in. Your son is so cute with his little shovel😊 The soaker hoses are great for hedges & large bushes. They take so much more water than the flowers. Saves so much time in watering. My husband really enjoys yard work. Right now he's actually working with a lawn pest control company. Here in Florida lots of people have there lawns treated regularly. The grass her in super thick because of the temps & weather a thinner type grass won't live. But ants and other diseases are common & so they treat them. Sand when I say ants, its next level🤯 Most areas where there are divided or gated neighborhood the homes already have sprinkler system so that's a plus! The home my son lives in is in one of the gated areas. Is just so different here 🤷‍♀️ But my husband can treat his lawn! The ants..i have no words! But the yards in these neighborhoods are tiny, the homes are just feet away from each other. We're going to be looking somewhere not so tight hopefully 🤞🏼 Yes.. where we lived in Tennessee the home was a large log home. The squirrels would come on the porch & chew the side of the house!!😳 It was crazy! Most times it was right at our bedroom & i would hear them & go out & shoo them away. Our apt was attached to the recovery home so the home itself Is very large! I'm sure there we other places they chewed at but that's where i caught them. They didn't do that at our home in NC 🤷‍♀️ Are northern squirrels different?? lol😄🐿 I literally had to put a couple of kids stuffy dogs hiding behind my flowers on the porch too, they would dig up my flowers to hide their acorns!! We had several large acorn trees in front of the home. They would leave the dirt thrown everywhere, just made a mess! And I'd have to fix the potted flowers. The stuffy dogs scared them away! Lol Crazy!😄 The shrub path is cute & I'm sure that's going to be really pretty! I love the way you have the flower beds in front, its beautiful! I enjoyed todays video! TFS😊
