    You may not want to cut your rhubarb when you harvest it. You are supposed to twist it and snap it off at the base so it tells the plant to grow a new stalk. If you cut them the base just sits there and doesn't regrow a stalk. Just a little tip.

    Good job on the soldering. Some people never get the hang of it. If you keep a cold, wet rag handy when you're soldering and immediately wipe it around the joint when you're done, it immediately solidifies the solder and you get fewer leaks. As a bonus, your solder ends up shiny silver instead of that burnt look. As a Maintenance guy, it's fun to watch you learn all of these things by yourself.

      @@hannahleeduggan It's such a long hard journey to accepting your flaws and learning from mistakes. I hope to one day be in the same mindset as you, but it's an adventure regardless. Love how positive you are and it REALLY is encouraging seeing your failings and learning and eventually not failing! It normalizes making mistakes and showing us that you don't know everything, but opening it up for a learning experience. It's just so refreshing from other DIY channels where they speak as if they fully 'know'.

      Yes you need to pull rhubarb. Not sure about the twisting part but always pull
      The reason for that is because the sweetest part of the rhubarb is at the bottom. (I was told this by my grandparents many many years ago,)

    Hi Hannah, if you add some water plants to your pond to create shade it will not let the algae grow. The light is what causes the algae. I used potted plants sitting on the bottom. Waterlillies are really good ones because the pads cover the surface and block the light.

      Algae growth is of course favored by light, but mainly by too many nutrients from the fish waste in the water. On the other hand, aquatic plants, which use up these nutrients and thus remove them from the algae, naturally help.

    From one pond lover to another -> more plants = less algae (the plants feed on the nitrogen (waste aka poo) from the fish so it doesn’t feed the algae). Also - my ancient and very green thumbed Gma always said twist rhubarb off not cut.

    a tip for you when you sweat the pipe , aka solder, have a wet towel and after you melted the solder wipe it around you will get a clean looking line while it still hot the rag will cool it also. for the windows you can use bondo or wood filler and sand it to repair it , then use primer i'd do oil based primer and like a elastomeric type paint and window caulking to water proof dont forget the flashing ! maybe also on top of window make alittle awning to divert the water. and then buy some curtains or make them

    When you go to fix piping. You have to soldering (sp?) to the pipes to the new fittings. (those connector pieces). That's why the work you did leaked. Of course, also you have more than 1 leak. So fixing them all is imperative. You can't run water right after doing soldering work either, you have to let it dry.

    Glad you were able to fix your pipes. I keep telling my husband that the new led pipes are very easy to install and we don't need to pay someone hundreds of dollars to remove and replace the damaged water lines for the laundry room that was destroyed when the pipes froze and burst. The damage wasn't that had at first,but they had to take out the flooring to the joists and the guy who was supposed to fix it kept giving us excuses and it was left with only plastic covering the walls off and being was exposed to the elements from below everything became covered in black mood after 5 months. I contacted the owner of the company and sent pictures and copies of our emails and texts,and a written timeline of everything.He call me the day he got my e-mail and he had people here the next day. Everything had to be removed to the studs and cleaned and treated to prevent anything else from growing. Within 2 weeks they had completely redone the room and I was able to pick out the flooring,paint, new cabinets, and countertops. We didn't have to pay for anything out of pocket due to the treatment we had received from his employee. That employee had been royally told off by the owner and he was told to fix it asap and basically replace everything with better quality items because everything out there had been custom made for the room as was everything in our kitchen which connects to the laundry room. I love how it turned out. Just need to replace the damaged pipes so we can do our laundry at home again. Thank you for sharing your struggles with home ownership.

      You might want to reconsider putting a window in the shower because it can destroy the wood and cold really transfers in the winter making it very cold in the bathroom and especially in the shower. You need marine grace sealant and varnish to protect the wood from moisture. A smaller transom window higher up would be better plus it could provide ventilation. I wish you well with your project.

    You did very well with the sweat soldering for a person who has never done it before. Great job!

    So happy to hear you are taking the motorcycle class and getting your license. I did that when I turned 60.

    Sharkbites work if you use the right ones and use them correctly..... I have used them when putting in a new hot water tank and also when i had to cut copper pipe to replace a shut off valve going to my toilet...none have ever leaked. Its also very important to debur the ends of the copper pipe to make them smooth on the outside and inside.. so the inside of the sharkbite does not get damaged by the rough edges.... and that the shark bites are put onto the pipe at the proper depth.. they make a little tool that will help with the deburring and measuring how far to put the sharkbite onto the pipe.

    Your ability to just power through learning new skills is astonishing to me! We've been having road and water main reconstruction nearby and our water keeps getting turned on and off and it's amazing how much crap gets stuck in the filters when that happens, so you might want to replace the aerators on your faucets once you're finished.

    Hannah I love your videos so much! I'm so happy I got here early and got a chance to say that your channel is my comfort channel, inspo for going outside when I know I need to but don't have the energy, and being active for my mental and physical health. I even showed your videos to my dad because hes a welder and builder and is always doing home improvement projects on our mountain home. He's very impressed with your ingenuity and we both wish you the best!

    Hey Hannah, good job. I'm glad you didn't use the Shark- Bite in the wall. You may have done it already but quick tip, wipe off any excess flux after you solder. 👊

    I was just wondering if I was crazy to think about getting supplies to do some soldering on my own over calling a plumber, so this is a very timely video!
