Big Changes!

You should put river rock in that strip outside the kitchen window.. it’ll look great, help with drainage and easy to maintain. Put bird bath on it and some potted plants, ready to go 😊

I will never forget when my mom called the knock out roses, knocked up roses. She has since passed but such a funny memory.

A dry creek bed with big river type rocks headed to the drain would help. Then you can plant in pots or ground lots of grasses ( like pampas grass) and flowers. Beautiful home, you deserve it! Thanks for sharing

Out the kitchen window, it is the perfect spot for a herb garden.

I love Willow!!! The biggest thing is that you have a plan.

Put in a river rock bed to continue the water to drain with a bird bath and maybe another water feature for bees and Butterflies.

Put a birdbath & some feeders for hummingbirds & other birds back there. Maybe some butterfly friendly plants.

It'd be cute to add plants that attract butterflies, add a bird bath and hummingbird feeders outside of your kitchen window 🥰

Some sunflowers along the fence to look out at would be very nice ❤

I can’t get enough of how awesome this property is for you all

I think you should let Kayla have that area as her own to do what she wants with it. Some flowers that attract bees & butterflies with a birdbath in amongst it all and a couple of bird feeders. Then you'll have something to watch whilst you're doing the washing up Kayla.🐦🐝🐞🌹🥀🦋🐦

I finally got rid of gnats using those yellow sticky things in the plants, and a glass of wine (or fruit juice) left on the counter over night and pouring boiling water down the sink drains. Yes, they actually breed in the sink drain!

Need to remove the material from the ceiling. Use a mask and face shield and breathing filter. Should have a vacuum cleaner with a hose. Lots of large plastic bags. The material above should not be breathed.

Willow needs an elevated dog bed at her window. This is gnat season

Suggestion for inside your dish cabinet, espicially for the corningware. What I do is put your lid upside down inside the pot and stack 2 or 3 on top of each other to help to have more space. Everything is looking great.

On the side mulch the first part and clear the drainage and put rocks or river stone so the water drains and then put potted plants like herbs on that. It would look pretty😊. You guys got a pretty home

Willow looks so happy! Love the new place and it's great to see how enthusiastic you guys are 🙂

I was given good advice by a gardener once and i use it to this day. Dead or lightly prune things that need it but leave it a year before removing anything unless it`s invasive. This gives you all 4 seasons to see what flowers and blooms and what has been planted and comes up through the year. You have some beautiful plants and bushes and it would be criminal to just rip it all out. If you must dig stuff up and get rid, get some pots and pot up items you are removing and put them on Facebook or a local free site. People are always crying out for plants as they are so expensive.

My dad owned a stone company for 49 yrs. I sold a lot of river rock for flower beds. It would help with where the drainage is and you could plant a colorful ground cover sporadically throughout.

If you need to keep the ground ready for drainage outside the kitchen window, you could put up some lattice or a narrow pergola and weave some vines, flowers and humming bird feeders into it.

Why don't you have a small vegetable and herb patch outside your kitchen window? Would look amazing and growing your own tastes great!
Your house is lovely btw and I love watching you both on your videos, you seem such a beautiful couple. Good luck 😊

I love seeing Willow following you guys around and having lots of fun. She is so darn cute!

FLOWER BED- a reflection/prayer garden area with a bench and a birdbath and a few statues.

Hi guys,your house is so darn cute! Kayla what about a really nice bird bath,you could watch them while doing the dishes 🥰

When having a storm, the trailers may be need to be parked in front of the garage doors for wind break. I would anchor the trailers to the ground. Just a suggestion from someone has been in, earthquake, floods, hurricanes, and tornados. Lived and emergency response.

I admire you two and your new property is so awesome. What an undertaking, but you both seem to have it under control..I am learning a lot from you and enjoy your entertaining personalities.

Wow you have more cameras than Ft Knox. Better safe than sorry.😊

Some kind of decorative rocks/stones and some bright perennials would look nice and give you something pretty to look at w while you're at the sink. Maybe a bird feeder, too.

I agree with putting river boulders in the area by the fence, all different sizes + a couple of really large feature rocks would you great, you could also spot some pretty flowering alpine plants in between them. Also just outside your kitchen window against the fence you could put a tall solar powered water feature / fountain…the bubbling sound would be lovely and calming. Love these house updates, it’s such a fabulous property 😊😊Kathryn

You were talking about the plants outside the kitchen window, i was fantasizing about how awesome that fence would be with some colorful garden inspired artwork on it. Perhaps an interesting decorative grill with bright pots hanging from it, along with a windchime or two, or twenty. Wish i had your energy, I admire how much you accomplish.

I Love these update on the new property videos. Your kitchen display looks great, to show your nesting Pyrex bowls even better, place something under each of the smaller two, to raise then up a bit, it will help show off the colors & how great they really are.

Vultures are good birds, they protect against harmful sicknesses that would otherwise kill humans. They are very misunderstood birds

Hydrangeas would be lovely in the strip of land across from your kitchen window. They are perennials, hardy, like to “keep their feet wet” (i.e. they like water) and have pretty green foliage in addition to beautiful blooms. I have pink, blue, purple, and white ones in my garden. They’re beautiful! May God bless you two (and Willow)! 🙏🏻😊🥰

Vegetable garden - squash, potatoes, okra, cucumbers - easy to grow

Everything is looking so nice. Look at Willow's lil tail wagging the entire time. She's so adorable. Got tickled when she was getting revved up. lol I've seen videos of bull terriers doing amazing zoomies. You need to get her on video zooming. lol I would definitely make a pollinator garden in that area in front of your kitchen sink. Perrenial garden of flowers that attract butterflies, bees, etc. Add a pretty bird bath. Make it something so beautiful that you want to just stand and stare as you do your dishes. In areas where you're concerned about drainage you could add some ground covering that flowers, to help absorb some of that water.

Totally agree with everyone about the river rock outside kitchen window. Also, that window is perfect height for Willow. Just needs a comfy bed by it so she can nap there as well. 🙂

Outside your kitchen window I would do mulch with plastic liner for weed reduction. Then knockout roses up to the back area that Julian wants cleared out. I would put a trellis up to divide the garbage can area from the knockout roses. Those roses don’t need any maintenance except to keep pruned and your lawn person can do that. I have knockout roses around my entire wrap around porch and get so many compliments on them. They are good for cutting and having fresh roses just about any time you want. The more you cut the roses the more blooms you get. The area that Julian wants cleared out I would defiantly put down plastic for weed control then put small river rock down. I have that on either side of my sidewalk coming to my front door. They are perfect for drainage and large enough not to move with rain. I would not plant anything there but put large potted plants if you want plants or flowers. Whatever variety you like. Personally I think you would not enjoy a hummingbird feeder that far a way from your window. They would be very hard to see. I have a hummingbird feeder hung from my eave right outside my kitchen window. It is so awesome to be able to see them up close. Your whole property is awesome and whatever you decide will be beautiful I’m sure.

Call it Kayla's Kluck Kam!
Good on you for your philosophy. ANY progress should be a reason for celebration!
As I live alone now, when I do a difficult task my husband did before me, I always say out loud, "Good job!" and it makes me proud of my abilities.
Little tasks add up to a lot of stuff done! I try to notice how long something takes to accomplish, so I won't procrastinate later, knowing it will only take ten minutes or so!
Your are obviously a responsible homeowner! My hat's off to you, friend Julian!!

Kayla whem you pick your hydrangea blooms for a vase display add food coloring to the water and you can color the blossoms. Beautiful! Love your new home!

Little steps all add up ! I am a big list maker and crossing things off that list is always so rewarding for you mind. Keep up the good measures, you are on the right track !!!!

Julian lift the computer up on a stand that will release more of the heat. Also you can buy a cheap little fan to blow at the back of your computer to help keep it cool.

16:59 I agree with Kayla it needs to be less in there. It’s a bit too many dishes. But that’s an awesome problem to have😂😂😂

That’s pretty cool that they leave you presents. I’d feel honored.
PS…if there are mice around they will definitely keep the population down.

Ring makes great products. We have the cameras, both battery and wired in around our entire property. We did have one blown down on a shed during a really bad storm recently, and it survived, but other than that, they work great and we love them !!!
Your new property is really amazing and set up perfectly for your business !! That is a dream to have a entire big buiding to run your resell out of, and keep it out of the house !!That must help with work / life balance !!!

It's the Pyrex Pantry!! :) Beautiful collection!
In that gardening area Kayla asked about, I would mulch a lot of it, or put down river rock, and then grow herbs and small veggies in big containers. Container gardening is so much easier!

I hear you about being warm. People tease me about not wearing socks in the winter with my slip in boots. Air conditioning needs to be at 70.

Birds bath and butterfly garden out the kitchen window! That would be so entertaining while at the sink.
I love all the potential in your yard! ❤

Glad you're going heavy security it makes me feel a lot better for you too

The plant that Julian said to go for sure (with “sticks”)is a hydrangea. Looks like that’s in your window sill. I waited before removing or digging up plants because I didn’t know what it might be. In my case proved good to wait and see. Such a beautiful place for a beautiful family. Love and blessings

Just wanted to take a minute to say... Well done, love your new place, congrats from Australia ❤❤

Use small stone instead of mulch in the drainage area. It will stay put and allow water to flow.

Relocate the rose near the others and put river rocks down for drainage. You can dress it up with a bench and potted plants

Julian,i love my Ring cameras, well worth the money and subscription 👍👍❤️

I wouldn’t be too quick to just tear everything out. Tidy it up pull weeds and relook at it. I have huge roof overhangs and have lots of mulch because I have trouble getting things to grow an areas and it’s a mess when it storms, mulch is everywhere. Look out your windows and make sure you can see flowers or flowering shrubs from inside you house. So yes, put something you love that you can see from the kitchen window.

Julian talk to your yard guy about that space with th bushes you don’t like. Most of what’s there is a mess because it hasn’t been trimmed or pruned . Thisbe can possibly be trimmed substantially and will give you the clean lines you are looking for😊

Be willing to bet money that taking out that post in the garage will effect structural integrity, unless you put up a big steel beam.

Rip it all out by your kitchen window and throw down some wildflower seeds. That way you can watch the hummingbirds ... butterflies .... and regular birds while you're standing at your kitchen window. They also won't mess with your drainage. Low maintenance and inexpensive.

You may need an internal battery replacement on your computer. I have one I bought in 2014 and it finally is going out. Luckily I have a grandson who is a computer engineer so I will pass that job to him.i probably could but he said it’s a simple job.

The back fence at the 30:52 mark would be perfect for putting hanging pots on. If you put Ring holders, you could change the pots/plants easily.. You could put them in shapes, Circle, diamond, stripes, etc..

Rock and hummingbird feeders outside the window. Also, don’t forget to sell the bushes on marketplace. They sell all the time where I live. This way they can still live instead of getting thrown out.

I love the tour of the property. It's looking great already. I hope you keep doing updates to show us your progression. ❤❤❤

Property is looking good, great idea for all the security. Idea, when you bring trailer back from unit to film in back yard, why not back it up beside that shelter with the fan and film under there? Especially with summer coming, might be cooler with fa and shade. Keep up the good work guys.

In the 1950s on our Oregon farm the bush with bright white blossom, that will grow into a tree, we called Snowball Tree. They are wonderful for decorating churches and gymnasiums for functions. As I remember the cut branches and blossoms last a long time, too. They may have berries for birds later in season. Pls look that last statement up. Was about 10 years old when that memory was formed. Julian, pls consider bird feeding season from some of those bushes and trees b4 ripping out!!! Especially the bench/bird watching area.

I love your new house it has to much character , just like you two have! I hope you have many happy years there. Best time of your life.

I agree with the comment about a birdbath outside the window and probably a birdfeeders rather than taking everything out doing mulch a nice low ground cover would be good. Something that helps absorb water and that would be really cool.

What about rocks in that area looking out your kitchen window? Maybe bird feeders, bird bath or a fountain? Maybe a fountain in that area Julian wants to change? We enjoy all of your videos and so very happy for y’all!!! You really deserve this!!!😍😍

You guys bring so much joy to us! I am enjoying the journey with your new home! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to watch Kayla make the plant charms. She's got skills!

House is starting to take shape and looks great! I agree with others that mentioned the river rock for the drain. Outside your kitchen window you could do a bird bath and some feeders for the birds or plant flowers that attract butterflies, honeybees & hummingbirds.

Just woke up wow a lot of sales.🎉😊

I would put an arch around the roses they have black in different stores. You could add hanging plants and white lights to brighten it up at night. Do your black mulch with everyone’s idea of bird feeders and bird bath. At the end of the mulch add the river rocks like @ShadowNTime suggested. This will turn out beautifully with our ideas or with your ideas. You both have great taste. Have a happy week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

Don’t just add flowers to the small area or you won’t see anything in the winter. Be sure to add artwork or LARGE decorative stones. You can always intersperse flowers in the area for seasonal color. I, like you, love flowers. Ask the landscaper if he has an idea for that space.

Plant a raised bed veggie garden

Maybe you could make it a herb garden out there? That way, when you're doing the dishes after eating, you can look out and realise you forgot to pick the herbs for the meal you just ate 😂

I like the river rock idea with bird houses and butterfly bushes. Add a small decorative tree, small fountain and bench to make it a prayer garden space. Like an oasis you can see across from your kitchen window. The for the rest, mulch it and add a few large potted urns and maybe a decorative stone/brick front edging. A compromise for you and Julian. Anything you decide to do will be perfect for you!

Put a bird bath and feeder. That way you can watch the birds and squirrels 😊

I like the river rock idea. They are pretty and great for drainage.
Please keep the roses! Also, if it were me I'd create a colorful planter area with easy to maintain plants and flowers - using colorful pots instead of planting in the ground. They are much easier to maintain.
I love your place!❤

Have a Blessed Week you all

Def agree with a birdbath & some butterfly attracting flowers. They love Zinnias! My sister has a ton. And I would ask the landscaper for his opinion about the drainage etc. Also, I'm so glad I saw you with those gnat "blasters". I live around a lot of trees & there are sooo many here! I will have to try that & share that with my family. Place is looking great!

I see lots of ideas for river rock bird baths etc. I agree. I also think I’d paint or stain the fence . You can add pot or rectangular planters specially made to clip on the top of the fence . Hanging vines etc look nice to take up the space.

I would so watch a chicken cam! Hilarious! Thank you so much for my items from your Saturday WhatNot show. Love you guys❤️ Love Willow too❤️🐶

Change your calendar month... It's driving my OCD crazy 🤣

Hydrangea’s would look beautiful out there to see from your kitchen window

Use River Rocks in that area it will allow the water to flow and not wash them away. make like a stream / babbling brook area in there put some ferns irises that like water

The easiest plants we have are hostas, canna lillies, asparagus ferns, mexican petunias, bromeliads, lemon thyme and foxtail ferns. They go in the ground, I barely look at them and they survive year after year, even after the surprise 8" of snow we had in florida this past winter. I like lemongrass too, BUT it doesn't like a lot of water, so we can't run the sprinklers where they are. They have to be cut back every year, but they always grow back in.

I truly love you both! What an amazing coupe! Love every single one of your videos. You both deserve this home and it is so beautiful!

I really enjoy watching your videos. As for the area you are asking about, if it for drainage, I would not put mulch I would put river rock🎉

Instead of mulch in that area, put decorative rock. It will allow for drainage but won't wash away.

My grandmother had Snowball bushers all over her back yard. I loved them as a kid

Morning glories to go up the fence and then a dry creek rock drain to meet the other back one with some ornamental grass on each side of the drainage ditch

Instead of mulch I would do gravel outside the kitchen window. And add a bed for willow at her fav window

You could also put hanging flowers on the fence so you have a pretty view. The river rock is a really good idea as well.

Thanks for always making my day bright and happy. I love you guys and Willow!! 🩷🐾💙🩷🐾💙🩷🐾💙🩷

Really love watching you two! Amazing couple, making great videos. A water feature opposite the kitchen window would be lovely. Please include more footage of Willow! 😊

My sister was a kindergarten teacher. And she always said, "Good enough for who it's for!"

Instead of mulching that drainage area near the carport, put some landscape fabric down and some pretty gravels. Maybe get some white gravels. That shouldn't easily wash away, it looks good and also helps with drainage. Not sure about plants to keep or get rid of but I would probably use google lens on some to identify and maybe just tidy up some of the pretty ones. Since you asked I thought I would give my opinion too. Have fun!

Use river rock or some kind of decorative stone in the landscaping outside the kitchen window. Once and done, won't wash away and drains well.

That spot would look cute with a little bistro table and a couple chairs.

I think rock outside kitchen window. Then you could do some cool planters with flowers. I have collected galvanized tubs to plant in since our soil around the house is not good.

We have a plug in thing in the kitchen that has replaceable sticky things and a light that attracts all kinds of flying things.

Love Willow and her window!! At our house we call the nose prints “Nose Art”!! 😂 Our sweet boy is very artistic when it comes to our French doors. ❤
