Today is an exciting day for the exterior of my fixer upper house!! Jay & I are installing my new DREO porch ceiling fan and it looks amazing! After that, my mom and I are working on cleaning up the pile of stones and building a stone wall!
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

I have always heard that and you see a lot of them where I used to live
Again loop
Dreo is a great product. I have their Chefmaker smart air fryer.
If you finish the porch ceiling with beadboard and paint it light blue like the sky. Its supposed to keep wasps and hornets from building nests.
It used to be traditional to paint the porch ceiling light blue
Haint Blue Ceiling’s. ❤ 😉
Stacking dry Stone is not as easy as you would think. Good job ladies
You ladies definably inherited some "old world artisanship" from your ancestors. Your granddad would be proud. You turned an unsightly pile of rubble into an attractive landscape feature.
Making great memories with your mom that is what counts.
Brenda is so sweet to help you with those heavy stones. You are blessed to have such great parents, but I’m sure you know that!
A new porch fan and a stone wall…what a beautiful day!
These things you’re doing will really make you happy each time you see them!
Great Idea! You turned a "pile of construction debris" into an eye-pleasing feature! You've got another thing in the garden you'll love looking at. Good job both of you!
If you have any standing water on the property, you can use eco-friendly "pucks" to control mosquitos. I used them in my pond & also installed bat houses on the perimeter of my property & it worked great.
I can see friends and family using the stone wall to sit on while you host a summer party or fall. Even if it is temporary it can be useful and fun by sitting a pot of beautiful flowers on it. Endless possibilities!!
Abby put some flowers height
Wise behind the
Rock wall along
The circle up to
The little tree. So
Cute😊
Could be a bench seat to sit on in your garden and admire all you plant when you get a chance to rest!😊❤
Seriously, not bad for first timers!!! Things are definitely looking spiffy outside and you can see the energy and excitement in your voice. Great day building memories with Mama.
I believe that is how the farmers did it back in the day. Nice job.
It's a stone wall, not supposed to be perfect. 👍
Mother and Daughter are looking sound to me ,that is truly leadership prospects . Abbie you would now understand that the family who works together will stay lovingly close to each other .This week I took a tour a tourer throughout the eastern agriculture areas for 4 days and influenced new friendships and relationships . The rock wall is now a outdoor seat dear .
When you panned over & showed the rock garden, it just immediately generated a BIG smile on my face! Just makes one happy to look at it!❤
You ladies did a great job with the flower garden and stacking the rocks
Oooh girls absolutely no judgment here! I love the rock wall 🙏😘🥰
Looks good to me ladies! Add a few flowers ! Beautiful!👍🏼
Nice work girls. It really makes things look so much prettier and organized. When you’re having coffee on the porch, maybe mom would bring a pie if you asked her nicely! I think the next step is putting paint on the walls.
Abby, Your Mom is such a n inspiration. I watch her with your Dad on their channel and somehow, she makes time to come a spend it with you. And she is always working ( As are you and your Dad. What a wonderful family full of appreciation for life and kindness. JR, Gorham, ME
Very nice ŵaĺlfor just getting the stones out of the way. 😊 Behind the wall a random sowing of marigolds would look nice. Pots of red geraniums would be a nice touch in front of the wall. Whatever, the wall looks really nice. The two of you did a super job. 😊😊😊
I love so much that your mom and you tackled this. Good work! It does look so much better. Bravo.
The stone wall turned out fabulous!
I love the stone wall!
Good job on the rock wall
Wow! Awesome job on that wall.
A fan on the porch is a great idea. Summer is just around the corner!🌞
Painting time!!! Yippee!! You are getting there Abby!!
I know how heavy those rocks can be. Great job you two.
Your stone wall is great! I would probably leave it.
You and your Mom
Did a awesome job to be honest with you. It looks very professional.
I greatly enjoy watching all this hard work turning a pile of rubble into a very pretty rock wall and I wish I had the strong back to work that way. I love to create but in my late sixties and my back can’t handle picking up heavy things. I’m so happy for you Abby and watching you call your mom “mama” reminds me of when my mom was still here and I spent time with her in her garden. Cherish this forever. Excited for your next phase… priming?! ❤
The rock wall is so beautiful. I’m envious. lol
Abby you and your mom did an amazing job on that stone wall!
Dear Abby and Mom, Bravo👏 on the wall build👏👏👏. Very nice. I'd like to make a suggestion. Incorporate the flower bed to the wall. Then you won't have to mow in the small space. Love how everything is coming together for you. Hugs💞
There’s a guy on TH-cam … his channel is Surburban Acre . He tells how to build a wall in 3 easy steps. 1. Dirt work- dig a shallow ditch 2. Crushed rock and stacking boulders 3. Finalize top row…but I think yall did a great job - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
Rock wall looks great ! I'm anxious to see the painting to begin ! Nice job!
Good idea for the ceiling fan for the porch. You won't regret it! Your home is going to be fabulous! I particularly love how you and Jay put the piece of leaded glass over the bathroom door upstairs. Keeping what history you can is commendable. I've been watching for a long time, over a year. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the land, it's really a cool location. It would be nice when you can afford to buy the barn next door!
Nice dry stacking of the stones ladies….I’m impressed too ….soon you’ll be sipping a cool drink out on a rocking chair on the front porch (keeping the mosquitos away with your new fan) ! ❤
Are you getting the porch railing next time ? Can’t wait to see xx
🌟Good morning ✨Abby✨ You look wonderful and happy today! Thanks a million for sharing all of your awesome videos! I cant wait to see the exciting day when you move in!!
Abby, awesome video. You and your mama make a great team together, you two can do anything. When playing outside, there is no need to turn fan full blast bye bye cards. 6:04
Look at you Ms Fancy pants. 👏👏👏
I am convinced there isnt anything you can’t do. 🤩
Make a living wall with succulents. I was thinking about that for the bigger river wall. River would be a great backdrop, small stone patio with a bistro table set. Brunch by the river.
Bravo wall is fantastic great place to take selfies!!! I ❤ to see you with your mother it brings up memories of times spent with my own mother who I miss dearly!!! I am an artist and I love to create and look at beautiful things and this area is beautiful!!!❤
I agree with you. Wonderful memories Abby is making with her mother 💞🙏
The wall looks great. You should keep it because now it is a memory. A project done with your mother.
Hey gals, that wall looks really nice !
Your stone wall looks nice! It goes good with the flowerbed too. Great job ladies!
Your wall is pretty❤ hey hopefully you can extend it the whole length of of the driveway
Wow, fan up wall built You all are amazing . Your dream is exploding all over the place . Go team Abby . 💥🧡💚💙💜
You could put white soffit under your porch roof. It would allow for air flow, if the metal roof had condensation. The white would make it brighter. Less spots for bee, wasps to build nests.
Abby take some stones and beef up the stones around your new plants. It will help with weeds growing between the gabs too
That wall turned out beautifully! You guys did such a great job! And just watching you guys working together is so special! Good job, Jay. helping with the fan! It looks beautiful!
You may want a screened in porch later? If the bugs are bad
Your rock wall reminds me of Scotland. Beautiful!
I could never understand how pushing the air down would cause a breeze and make it cooler in the hot months since heat rises, wouldn't that just push the hot air down over you? And for winter having it move the air upwards wouldn't that just move the colder air from the floor over you and make you feel colder? I have my fan set in the opposite way from what every tells you to do because we have a very small livingroom our fan is in and it works better for us that way. Love your stone wall! I can just see it with some plants in pots on top of it.
Abby, when do you think y'all will finish the porch?
I love watching your videos & I for 1, can't wait to see your house painted. I do hope your final decision was the Chantilly lace color for your walls.
Abby, you are an inspiration, a role model, an example to ALL young girls & women. I know your mom & dad are so proud of you. Keep up the good work & keep making your 150ish year old house looking more & more beautiful each & every day.
Well done ladies the stacked stone wall looks great. A fire pit area in front of it would be great to sit around in cooler weather.
Hello Abby so happy to see you and your beautiful home! Exciting indeed-
You and Mama Brenda crafted a beautiful stone wall! Drystack is my favorite.
Have you and Jay been painting? Do we get to see it next time? When is the dumpster coming for the scrap metal?
I'm guessing painting is next on the agenda....... the rock wall looks awesome!! When are you finishing the porch floor? Enjoy all your videos so much!!!
Abby what you an
Your mom is doing with the
Stacks of rock is

Looks nice😊
Beautiful! Both the wall and the relationship with your Mom ❤️

So we built the wall. And all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work. That was awesome 😎
With all the work you went through with that Stonewall, it would’ve been nice if you would’ve put a small L shaped stone wall at the entrance to your driveway - on either side. Not too close to vehicles, but it would enhance the look of your entrance. Could even put a solar light on either side on top.
Making great progress Abbey 😊
To cut sandstone scribe a deep line, into the Stone and tap it like cutting Glass. Use Mason Chisels and sledgehammers of various sizes. depending on the amount of force need to break the stone. Learnd by doing!
Love the rock wall! Maybe put some potted plants at both ends of the wall. Nice place to sit as well. Great job ladies ❤
Add a half circle with more stones in front of the wall and plant annuals in it😊
I am just as excited as you are ( if this is possible) . I wished you had a video every single day🙌🙌🙌Abby, will you be putting up boards on the ceiling of your porch? The stone fence looks very neat🙌
That's a super "cool" fan (pun intended). It isn't the most expensive one I've seen but it isn't the cheapest either. It will be a welcome addition to your summer outdoor porch activities.
The wall really looks great.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming painting episode. Little steps make progress just like the big ones.
Can’t wait till you put the railing on your porch,the rock wall looks great.
The fan is a nice touch!! You & your mom did an amazing job with the rocks! Wow!! They look like they're meant to be there! (Another special time with your mom!! I did enjoy the video!! 💕
You Ladies did a good job on the stone wall, that's how you do it, you ziz zag the stones and tie it in with one on top, a heavy one to hold it!
Wow, the rock wall really looks nice. And your gonna enjoy that fan so much. Now to get the porch floor finished. It's coming...
That's why there are no stone mason's because it is hard work
He totally wanted you to install that fan :-) He's a gem! And that wall turned out so cool! You gals went to the gym for free today! 🙂 The walls are painted! Thats my guess and Im stickin to it.
Very nice job on the stone wall. You are definitely getting it done.
MAKING ROCK WALLS GREAT AGAIN...........lov from South Alabama.
It keeps getting better .
Wow! Looking great.a few potted plants on the wall would look great.
Wow that wall is so effective! You are so lucky to have such great shapes just lying around!
Watched from almost beginning and have to say the biggest hero for durability..besides Jay😬..are your blue boots😁those bad boys have seen it all👍👍
Oh Abby,
Very nice wall you and your mom made!
You can even sit on it, love it!
My guess is, the primer is on the walls! 🤷♀️
Maybe? Lol.
God Bless ❤
Great idea for the fan on the porch and your mom and you did a great job on the wall😅
What a great job on the rock wall! Love what you are doing with your house too. I’m excited to see your garden area in the back😍
You and your mom put that puzzle together pour dirt with water to fill the cracks to keep snakes out.good play sand
your excitement is sure showing,,, and everything you do looks great, and you have a wonderful helper, Momma Brenda, I watch their show also, seriously yes you are excited and we are for you
I love the wall!!! What’s nice is that while you continue to garden and work on the yard you can extend the wall as you need to keep your material in one place for future projects. Even if you choose to leave it though it’s beautiful to look at. I’ve been a subscriber since your very first video and just have to say how much I love your channel and watching this amazing project unfold over the last couple years.
Brenda Brenda Brenda ..Brenda Rocks!!!!
Great Wall! You two did a fine job. It looks so good. I’m glad there were no “s words”! They startle me, too. ❤
Abby and Brenda you are ROCK STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Mackinac Island, they paint the ceiling of the porches light blue. Beautiful! Love the rock wall. Impressive skills!
Paint!! YEAH!!
The wall looks great what amazing time and memories made with your mother . 👍
Very nice rock wall I wished I had rocks where I live, you have to buy them and they aren't cheap.
Jay was walking by, and I could tell he was thinking... I'm glad I work with wood!! 😂
You and your mum did a great job on the rock wall...you go girl 🎉
Your stone fence pile will also make a nice place to or even put flower boxes on❤
You learn by trial and error, it can be adjusted once you get it done, good job!😊
