PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t plant ivy against the wall of your house Hannah! It’ll damage the wall and be almost impossible to eradicate when you want to get rid of it. Take it from someone who knows, been there, done that, BIG MISTAKE. 😳
Please, please, please listen to this person. A house we inherited had Ivy growing up on one side. I can't not express to you the BATTLE (and yes that's what it is) to keep the ivy off now. When we first pulled it off, we saw how damaged the siding was and the block foundation walls. The ivy has pitted the cinder blocks where the roots grew into them. Thankfully we got the ivy off so it didn't structurally damage the foundation, but the siding WILL have to be replaced. Please don't damage your home like that!
Just removed the ivy from the outside wooden walls of our hall after 25 years of growing. It did look beautiful, BUT sadly it destroyed all the wooden surfaces with its adhesive branches , forced its way into any gaps , lifted metal window frame coverings , and left ugly black marks on the surface of the adjoining brick walls . Costs a lot to repair the damage.
I have to replace the whole corner of my deck where the ivy rotted it away. 🤦♀️ And I’ve had to take down multiple trees that the ivy has killed.
English ivy is also an invasive plant and quickly and highly destructive to native flora. Not only is it fast growing, but birds can quickly pick up the plant and drop it into surrounding areas and forests, destroying its surrounding. I suggest researching and incorporating only plants native to your region. A local conservation org may be a good resource to point you in the right direction.
Wow I didn't realize all this about Ivy! Glad I saw this too ❤
A few things - 1) The house looks AMAZING! Love the green for the windows and doors! 2) please please please get some wood sealer on it ASAP! Don't let all of your hard work go to waste. 3) please please please don't plant ivy to grow up the side of your house. It will DESTROY the wall. I would think hard about planting ANYTHING that will "attach" itself to the wall. If you want something on that wall, maybe add a trellis with climbing roses? 4) adding a strip of wood under the "steps" on your step stool will add strength. That way there's not so much strain on the screws. 5) please take care of your back when you're young. Your 50-year-old self will thank you for it - trust me! You inspire me so much! Even being in my 50s (with a bad back) you make me want to get out and do things around my house. Thank you for all the inspiration.
I second your comment about the English ivy. I've fought with ivy many times over the years. It's kind of like the Plant in Little Shop of Horrors.
Note: let the wood on the house dry COMPLETELY before putting any kind of sealer on it. And the best way to apply it would be to spray it and use two coats.
I wonder if the folks you purchased this home from have watched these vids and seen how lovingly you have cared and changed the home to suit your needs.
I was literally thinking the same thing while watching this video!
As someone who’s on year 3 of ripping out English Ivy and vinca minor (aka periwinkle/creeping myrtle) that have both threatened to pull down the house, *PLEASE* dig up that English ivy! In North America it’s fine as a highly managed houseplant but it’s highly invasive and will overrun *everything.* You especially don’t want it crawling up your house as it’ll trap moisture and cause the wood to rot, and the roots will damage your foundation. I understand why you want it there aesthetically, because I like that cottage garden look too, but I can’t overstate how much you don’t want this to get established next to your beautiful house. You’ve done so much amazing work on it and I know you’ll end up super frustrated if you unintentionally undermine it.
Signed, someone who hurts all over because she spent hours pulling up invasive ivies yesterday and has to dig up more of it today because it’s climbing up the chimney
You gotta put waterproof sealer on it now!!! That’s why it turned black in the first place!!! 😇
The other side of this argument is that most waterproof sealers only last a few years, depending on the temps, sunlight, and humidity, and so require you to reapply them anyway. Plus many are toxic to soils, plants, and critters. Much easier to reach the highest elevations with a power washer as she did here and repeat that process as/when desired to refresh the wood surface.
The point of unpainted wood like this is that it naturally turns a driftwood color. Traditionally wood farm houses and barns where often treated with iron oxide in a wash or paint (in any shade from barn red to silver greys or black) as the iron oxide keeps all mildew, mold spores, moss etc away from the wood, regardless of weather and climate zone. Pressure treated timber isn't enough, cant compare and is vile to the environment. The whole pressure washing thing was a cute and visual content idea, but not great for the integrity of the house. Itwill turn grey again starting immediately, but is now more exposed to mold and termites and will take years to get that more aged look in a uniform way.
It's a non-farmer girl type vloggers nonsense impulse.
I warn against planting ivy anywhere, it may look nice for a couple of years but in 15 years it will be a ton of work to maintain to keep it from getting completely unmanageable. The previous owners of our home planted ivy and I could not count how many days each year I spend maintaining it, pulling off of our house, our trees, etc.. it is a nightmare 😅 I’d go for a native vine or flowering plant like clematis!
she might be a little far north for clematis, but that would be beautiful!
And rats climb up vines to get access to the attic.
I recently had to demolish +30 year old ivy cause the fence couldn't handle the pressure. It was a hell of a job. +1 for your warning
It pries itself between siding boards or panels as well.
I love, how you make everything so nice and beautiful 🤩 One thing: ivy against housewalls ist not the best idea. The roots of this pest plant are crawling really in every small slit and destroy the walls of your house. Everyone who planted ivy regretted it at some point. Just my two cents.
I was going to post the same thing.
Also it spreads easily and ends up chocking out native plants and strangling trees.
There's other vines that don't work their way into crevasses and compromise structures....
I had a pond with koi fish. I submerged lengths of French drain pipes in the bottom of the pond to give them a place to swim into to avoid predators. Works great.
You could get a net to put over the pond to protect your fish and get some lily's also you could make some caves they can hide in 😊
These are excellent recommendations! We did these things with our koi pond and it saved many a fish.
Idk if she reads comments or not but I thought I'd mention it anyhow
That green is the perfect color for those windows. It looks so pretty.
I LOVE SAGE GREEN🌱📗
"I can't do it! I'm not strong enough!" _Goes ahead and does it anyway_ That's why you're such an inspiration Hannah
I have two hummingbird feeders. Have for years. I used to boil the sugar nectar because that's what they always said you had to do. Then an expert said there's no need to boil the nectar as long as you're using refined white sugar. Now I just use a mixer and it's been fine for more than a year. And yes, they do watch to see when the feeders have been refilled. Did you know in their migration from Mexico to North America each year each hummingbird remembers the location of each flower it got nectar from in the prior years migration? Yep. They remember and return to the plants from the prior year. Amazing creatures.
That is so cool!
I think it would look so cute if you put window planter boxes under some of your windows! Especially the kitchen one, would look so good with herbs growing there.
Love your weekly videos Hannah. You may want to do some research on planting English Ivy in your area. It can become a highly invasive and strangle forest trees over time when it escapes from gardens. I know by experience in North Carolina. Thanks!😊💚
You took the words right out of my mouth. The ivy is beautiful but the little things to help it hang onto the house are strong enough to pull siding away from the frame. Better to put on a structure like a shed or such. This house is too precious for words!!!!
She should plant grapes instead 🙂
Great work with the pressure washing, Hannah. If you’d like to also protect the wood, and so that it will continue to look great for years to come, I want to tell you about what we used on our house(s) when we lived in Alaska. BEHR is a company that makes excellent paint and related projects. These days, that brand is only sold at The Home Depot, as far as I am aware. You might not have one of those in your area. (These comments are NOT sponsored, by the way, I’m simply a fan of that brand) My husband has used BEHR, both professionally and for our own homes, for probably the past 40 or more years (we’ve been married almost 39 and he used BEHR before then). Anyway… I don’t recall the exact name of their product.. I want to say that it is something like “clear cedar”…. You roll it on, like paint, or I suppose you could spray it, if you had access to a paint sprayer and wish to go that route. I’m pretty sure that Ruben (my husband) rolled ours, because the wood is a different texture than something like T1-11 siding, and we wanted to ensure good coverage.
I just looked it up, so that I could be sure to tell you the correct product that we used: it was BEHR Premium Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer.
Long story short, we lived in that first house for 12.5 years, and our 2nd home there for 19.5; that BEHR wood protectant and finish lasted well for us over that time. I don’t recall if it ever needed to be redone or not, but I don’t think so; it seemed that there were always so many projects happening, so that is not a clear memory for me.
Your home and plants look fantastic.
Thank you for the continued inspiration. Watching you fix up your properties the way that you want them reminds me of the adventures my family had, doing likewise over the decades. We now live in a home that doesn’t invite so much work - we find ourselves inventing projects anyway, as we are used to having something to do, LOL.
As an aside, I am saving egg cartons these days, because you inspired me to do so. How many will I need for paper-making?
Congratulations on your success with Lupine Lane. I love the story of how and why that got started for you, and watching that part of your life bloom so beautifully is magical. Cheers!
One more tip… That BEHR product that I mentioned is Oil-Based, I think. Be sure to check. We otherwise always use Latex paint and related products when we can (less stink, easier cleanup), and in case you don’t already know this, the two types don’t mix (think oil and water, essentially). So, you’ll want to ensure that the tools that you use are clean and free of whatever other products you might have used in the past, so as to avoid making more of a mess than originally intended (speaking from a wife who tried to “help” once, when she did not know any better, made a mess, and made everyone rather unhappy in the process…. whoops!)
Beth makes excellent quality paint. The stains ( solid colours) for wood siding are excellent applying to a clean dry wood. Once receiving two coats of paint they are waterproof , fade resistant and won't peel. I use it on my cedar siding. They are oil , latex based and brushes wash up with soap and water. The oil , latex is what you want for wood siding. I am in Canada with the seasons. Once painted the wood won't weather like it did before and you would be able to gently pressure wash the paint once it gets a little dusty after a number of years. Berh has tons of colour options .
💗 Behr Paints
If you're going to leave some of that siding natural wood you may want to seal it with something after a power wash like that
As an artist an idea came to me. If you want ivy or climbing plants you could take a welding class and create metal art with planters that can be away from the structure, but in front of it to grow your climbers on. You are so talented and this would be a new talent to learn and use in many projects in the future.
Just a thought! 🎉❤🎉 Keep up the amazing work!!!
🙋♀️ I’ve just realized why I’m drawn to your videos. You’ve figured out a beautiful balance to life. You work hard and play hard, but have found serenity in what I call downtime; outdoor activities, plant maintenance and music. ❤
Don’t forget to put some kind of sealant water sealant something on your house so it will last
Please for the love of nature, don't plant ivy, and don't let it attach to your house. If you really want it, keep it potted and let it climb your arbor, but keep it trimmed up.
My hummingbirds do the exact same thing to me. Even if no one believes me those little birds always get in my face to let me know it's time for some fresh nectar in their feeder. Yes ma'am you better obey your hummingbirds lol. Love you Hannah!
Pressure washing is so awesome. My life lessons... I had a big boat with teak..used teak oil, I used log oil on my decks...I rode adv motorcycles my whole life, when you throw your leg over the bike you become Invisible! Always wear armor! Learn how to lay down the bike on either side in the dirt to practice. I had to lay my bike down 4 times as it slid under the car that pulled out in front of me. House looks awsome...from a old papa..
Seal the wood after power washing please! And careful with the ivy, it will spread and also ruin any structure it climbs up. Once planted and roots spread it is almost impossible to get rid of!
Wow the refreshed color suits the cottage well. 👌❤ just protect the wood and you will be fine for years..
I don't think there is anything Hannah cannot do....she impresses me each time
You might want to weather seal the house.👍
I love this community of viewers! You all have well informed comments and a desire to teach. So beautiful!! Keep it up!! I’ve learned so much.
I have a Cardinal couple that visit my bird sanctuary every day
The male has a very specific chirp that alarms me when the feeders are getting dangerously close to being empty
He gets my attention everytime😂
Edit:
I just found out they've made a nest in my rose bush❤️
We're adding to the family!!
The house looks so precious! The wood is only missing a top coat to protect it and it’s good to go ✨
My hummingbirds do the same, they didn’t come up to the window and danced in front of it to let me know they’re out of food
your videos have always been magical, but the new camera makes them even more so!
Hi love your vids! If you didn’t know, glass hummingbird feeders are only a good idea if you are willing to clean it daily. The sugar water turns to alcohol in the sun and actually kills hummingbirds.
If you want to attract hummingbirds, either get a plastic feeder (that still needs to be cleaned/refilled at least every other day) OR purchase hummingbird attracting flowers to plant.
A new video from Hannah is a lovely Mother's Day gift! ♥
Holy Hannah! Hannah, that exterior looks amazing. It's like a brand new house. You've really become a true builder these past few years. The way you were just, I'm going to take this (whatever that was) apart and I can see by the way you're using your tools, that it's all become second nature to you now, and then you used the scrap to build something new. One thing, you might want to check for nail pops in a week or so after pressure washing 'cause the wood can swell then then settle again which can push out nails but you probably already thought of that. Remember the days when you installed your insulation backwards, those days seem so long ago now. Now when you say, "I'm going to build this thing" I think yep I can see how she'll make that work. You're amazing. :)
Edit: P.S. I was reading comments and many people are worried about sealing your exterior wood. If it's redwood, no, it will naturally gray over 2 to 5 years and you can just pressure wash it again if you want. if you seal redwood siding you may lose some of it's insect resistance. If it cedar however, yes, you may want to seal it with some basic sealer like Thompsons water seal but that's going to be a HUGE job. You can't just spray it on, you have to then brush it into the fibers and none of the people (including me) suggesting it have to do it. I agree about with the ivy though. You're going to have problems down the road but of course that's future Hannah's issue to deal with. "Let the woman have her damn ivy if she wants!"
The House looks so good! Once you're all finished pressure washing it you should put some kind of a sealant on all your wood to keep it looking that way and protect it! Looks so much better, like a new house again!
Just when i think you can’t be any more adorable…….
Bam absolutely more adorable ! ❤️💚❤️
Get baby chicken- it’s worth it I promise- the amount of joy it brings is like out of this world!!!!🎉
new cameras are fun! if you're missing focus a lot, try aperture priority and use something f/4 - f/11 so that your focal plane is "wider".
Loved the video, Hannah !!!
So satisfying!
Love you video, so relaxing. thank you!!
The house looks great!
I love your videos!
love it 💕
omg i loveeeeee it!!! this one was so satisfying
Beautiful footage. Thank you for sharing ❤
It all looks gourgeous, well done!!!💕
Wow!! Everything looks amazing 🤩
What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing!❤
Haven’t said it yet but the quality of the new camera is absolutely a game changer especially for all the nature shot portions
Hannah you need to seal the wood on your house with some Thomson water seal or some waterproofing from Sherman Williams they also have one that goes on pink and dries clear. Both brands can be applied using a 1 gallon pump sprayer that can be purchased from any home store or Ace hardware.
Everything looks fabulous, Hannah! ❤
Twinkle lights and Ivy above the porch furniture would be so cozy
Nice video Hannah!❤
love how it all turned out .. beautiful
Love your content Hannah! ❤️
What a big job! Lovely!!
Nice to see the fish are still alive. I saw an ancient otter repellent device in the museum. It was made from wood. Its mechanism is to make noises automatically using the moving water or small waterfalls like the ones in your pond. So, I think you could install more chimes on the direction they are coming from eg:- the creek.
There are also motion sensor ultrasonic + light alarms to scare off otters. Thanks for the beautiful vid and music.
Sunday with Hannah. The best!!
The house looks great.
Your home looks beautiful! So brave.
Congratulations Hannahlee, great job. Cheers
Vision, energy, beauty - you always bring it!
