We made it a whole year!! Planning the whole thing out has been like the primary focus of the last few years of my life so I could probably talk for days about our house but I didn't want to make the video too long. After the house tour maybe we should do a live stream for questions and all the tiny boring facts most people might not care about?? haha
A hour tour is still coming--it just turns out it takes a long time to set up a brand new house. We want to get most of it and up and going so we aren't just showing a bunch of empty rooms with boxes and whatnot. And thank you all so much! We wouldn't be here without you all watching and supporting us.
Looking forward to the house tour!
a live stream would be great!!! looking forward to it
hi
My dad used to shear his veg with neighbours to 💖
We couldn't keep up with the Sakuraco boxes: each box has so much snacks, we have to give more and more away.😂
I love Jun saying he likes the carpet because it’s soft and warm but most of all, the cats can SPRINT
Heartmelt Jun on your carpet comment/cats to sprint. You're so incredibly kind.
Your neighbors are so generous to share what they planted across the whole neighborhood!
I was in a German psychiatric hospital for a week. I did not know German customs nor language. Miraculously my roommate spoke English so they placed me with her. Even after she introduced me to her friends I felt really anxious. I kept refusing their offerings. I'm not good at receiving things from strangers. But then I got meat at meal time despite my no red meat policy and I offered it to this old lady who had offered me fruit before. I had turned it down not realizing it was a faux pa. So she started cutting up fruit for me in response and I accepted them. Then I understood there was this trade culture. She was beaming and I started to get friendly with the rest of them... despite the language barrier we kinda communicated. I miss those guys. 💕
In my small town if you don't lock your car door during harvest season, it WILL be full of random veggies from all the people in town. 🤣
I wonder what is customarily given as a thank you gift in this situation.
@@Turtletoots3 You just return the kindness with whatever you have in excess. Anything but money.
I got a trading partner this year, me german, he a turkish grandpa. My crops didn't were as great as his this year so I gave him a jar of self-made kimchi instead. I hope I didn't kill him
Rachel looks happier, healthier, and more vibrant than I've seen in years.
she's looking gorgeous in this update 😍
Jun's also looking really hot too.
This is literally what I thought!!!!
She’s always been beautiful but you’re right that she’s especially glowing now! I think the both of them (and all the cats) seem a lot happier and therefore they look better
@@vampyrekyng_lex what was wrong? Was somebody sick? I haven’t been on TH-cam for a couple years!
Vibrant? 😅 she looks the same
And a year of Jun not having to duck to get through doors and spaces not built for his height! Congratulations on your 1st anniversary in your home.
First time I saw them standing together. Height difference blew me away.
How tall is he?
@@untalk 6ft
@@andriettebergakker6604 Oh wow, that's super tall for Japanese!
I know the video is meant to be about the beautiful house, but I can't stop admiring Rachel's DROP DEAD GORGEOUS hair, makeup, and outfit here
I was going to comment the same thing! Rachel looks absolutely stunning, and I can't believe how long her hair has grown.
Same, very inspiring
Lmao I JUST commented that before reading the comments
rachel is always SOOOO pretty!! i love the warm gentle colors on her outfit, it fits her so well!!
RIGHT her whole look is amazing but her hair is MAJESTIC!
I live in Georgia in the US and run into the same issue as you do with the closets getting humid/moldy in the summer. We've swapped out our closet doors for wood slat doors that allow for more ventilation. There are some really beautiful options that have come out recently. You may want to consider swapping your storage room door out for one with slats, that way you can still shut off that room to the cats and don't have to look at the contents of your closet all summer but the air can still flow through the shut door.
+
that is actually a good idea.
Ill leave a comment here just because I think its a good idea
Or potentially adding some vents into the existing doors? Could paint the vents to match the color of the doors?
Same here! mold its always an issue where i live specially in a badly ventilated bathroom, on boxes and ofc the closets.
Rachel's face lighting up when Jun compliments her on the bathroom is so wholesome
I have been watching Rachel and Jun for years, and I love how playful Jun has become in the past year. He's really come out of his shell, and Rachel is SOOOOOOOO much happier now. I'm so glad that you're both doing so well.
Yes! They are the cutest :)
American..... XD Lol
As an Australian I can tell you now your so lucky that the Japanese huntsman’s are so polite to not stick around in your house 😂 the Australian ones love to become an unwanted house guest who’s overstayed their welcome!
I never resented their presence! They're awesome spiders! Never had to worry about flies with one of those in your house. Red backs though..... I NEVER evicted them, those never survived my discovering them. Entering my home was death sentence for them
@@silkvelvet2616 We don't get huntsman here but I definitely am ok with a few web spiders in the corners. They are part of the earth and keep my house free of flying insects. Plus people and pets are not their food. Sounds like win-win to me.
I do move spiders outside if I find a spider not sticking to the corners and edges. I have a garden that can use all the spiders.
@@yeevita I have to warn people sometimes when I get a kitchen spider to not kill it. They like to post up in the corners of windows, which is perfect for me. They'll eat any flying insects that get in like fruit or houseflies and even come down and munch on any beetles that make their way in.
they like to hang out over my bed............which no thanks i'm afraid you have to go
I'm in LA and we had a garden spider which was Gigantic. It would make a titanic web on the balcony at night. It and the web would be gone in the morning. Looked like a large crab perched in the middle of the web. I thought it was pretty amazing, my wife not so much. We also had black widows, which you don't want.
I'm an aussie, it warms my heart a bit to hear that the Huntsman is treated like the good boi it is even in another country.
Next video: Meet our huntsman, Maki!
*Rachel is sitting on the couch petting a spider the size of a dinner plate*
Are they dangerous to humans? I'm terribly arachnophobic
@@Chris.tastrophy Not Huntsmen no. Theyre mostly just really big. If they bite you it hurts a lot, but its rare for them to bite. Most of the time they just run away and hide.
@@coldnova awww poor misunderstood creatures
they're a big part of why i dislike spiders (or some that look similar) as much as i do now - one summer i had one in my room every single night and it was ALWAYS above my bed or on the wall next to me when i was on my computer or something like that. always scared the living hell out of me seeing them there suddenly in the middle of the night
It's so rare to have Jun insist on something, so him INSISTING on the crepe being omurice to the point of breaking out the fry pan 😆
He was right. That's totally omurice, just look at it.
That had me cry laughing 😭😂
time stamp please?
@@pondju 9:49
I have arachnophobia and just seeing Jun handle that crazy ass spider made me do a whole body shiver. My cats would love all those creepy crawlies. The oldest is around 12 years old and mostly just watches TV with my mom but if she sees a bug she goes full tiger on it.
Full tiger 😂😂😂
I have a mixed relationship with the large spiders. The primal part of me wants to freak out, but the logic part of me knows these are friend spiders. I say hello to them, and thank you, and leave them alone, but my skin does still get a little crawly when they are around.
I do too, and I made sure to avert my gaze the second they mentioned spiders until they were done talking about insects 😅
🙋♀️ me three
My girl was playing with an assassin bug yesterday!!!! She’s fearless
I can't believe it's already been 1 year! It felt like yesterday we were checking plots with you. I'm so happy for you!
It is such a Poki thing to do to start a workout in the middle of your filming!
Beautiful house, guys. Very well thought out.
Hehe. 🤍🖤
The best time to work out, during filming, the audience loves it and disrupted video audio
Forgive me, I’m new, but what does Poki mean?
@@Alleellaa it means "round" or "rotund" in japanese, if I remember correctly.
@@lynh.1214 Rachel named him, it means wandering survivor. Initially she thought he was female and he would have been named Kiki.
Colloquially Poki means trash goblin.
I love listening to Jun and Rachel switching back and forth between English and Japanese just in their conversations with each other. There's something really sweet and darling about it. ❤️
Suggestion for your storage room. Change the door to one with slats so there is still ventilation while the door is shut. (I looked it up they are called louvered doors) Heck, make a video of Jun making and installing one. Content plus a new door. Win-win.
genius. they should hire you lol
How about trying bamboo/ rattan doors and boxes to improve ventilation? I think you can find cheaper ones rather than the artisan ones. The style is also Japanese.
Besides using electric dehumidifiers, using charcoal (many types including bamboo) and coffee grounds as dehumidifiers might help.
Living with a community... people sharing with people... taking care of each other... so nice... 🥰
Rachel, you should totally get Jun into canning! Especially if he starts his own garden!
I second this!
Straight up, I'm real nerdy about fermentation and if Jun could expand his fermentation ventures on his channel... we'd have a whole virtual pantry of canned veggies and Japanese pickles 😭😭
💯 this! I wish I had more space in my apartment to can, but they’ve definitely got the veg and fruit, and the space!
what ways do they preserve in Japan? I know they do all kinds of pickling.
@@muck4227 As far as I know the primary method of preserving in Japan and many other Asian countries is salt pickling, combining the food with a percentage of salt which facilitates lactobacilli fermentation. No vinegar is involved unless it's for a quick, salad-like veggie mix that usually isn't meant to be fermented and preserved. Unless you freeze it I guess, like fukujinzuke. Outside of Asia people tend to utilize salt and/or oil to preserve. But I'm curious if there are more ways of pickling too!
I've been watching y'all since Rachel and Jun were living apart because of her military service. In one of those videos you both were so excited for the day where Rachel could finally return to Japan to live there. And now I'm seeing y'all in your beautiful new house with your kitties and it's just so wholesome.
Same here. Heartwarming!
Same!! 😭
We moved in 2018 and still feel like that; so extremely happy with the peace and quiet, the true silence in the night. Not even the distant sound of a freeway or train. The house is big enough for us to both have space to breath, a garden for the cats and much more things we didn’t have before. I hope your honeymoon feeling will last a lifetime.
I loved reading this.🌱🍀
Aww, I remember watching the videos when you were just starting with the house! I can't wait to see what you come up with next! ♡
Edit: I love your wholesome relationship with animals!! From cats to smart, hungry crows to bugs! It’s so sweet!!!
And giant spiders!!!(?)!!
Woah, I had no idea huntsmen had set up in Japan! What a cool thing, kind of like having an Aussie pop by uninvited, eating all your unwanted food items, and moving on xD
what are huntsmen?
@@hallehuckleberryspider. They are typically not aggressive, so people don’t need to worry
@@hallehuckleberry Eight legged house cats.
@@ANPC-pi9vu ahhhh so cool! i’d love one
@@OracleTruth24 spiders are great
I love the pro-insect/arachnid talk at the end! Scary at first, but getting to see so many different kinds of big bugs would be interesting, and then getting lizards and frogs/toads on top of that is a bonus!
I'm so stunned by how calm the reptiles and amphibians are in Japan. I live in East TN which has the same climate as them and I only usually see the huge bugs and spiders usually. The reptiles and amphibians exist but are far more elusive. I did see a salamander on our porch one wet summer night, though, and we get the occasional visiting box turtle. And we've seen a young black snake in our apartment twice. Probably a king snake or rat snake. Seems to be living in our wall.
Growing up, even though in a residential area, our lives were integrated with an abundance of wildlife. All manner of large insects (praying mantises, bees, butterflies, flying grasshoppers, etc.) and animals (rabbits, lizards, chipmunks, deer, etc.). It was nice. Sadly, when I revisited the area, most of them now seem gone.
Oh my godddddd when Jun complimented Rachel at 5:25... her face!!! Sooooo adorable. I squealed haha, such a cute moment!!
It's crazy that it's been a whole year already! Y'all never did a house tour, but I don't think you ever really needed to! It felt very natural being introduced to different pieces of your home in each new video over the year, and it allowed everyone to appreciate one part of the home at a time! It's been nice getting to see, and I'm so happy for you guys and the kitties!!
I think they’re waiting to do it when it’s done? Hopefully soon but understandable if they don’t
I was stationed in Okinawa in late 70's for 18 months. I do not miss the giant spiders, giant cockroaches or giant centipedes. I do miss the delicious fruit, scrumptious meals and friendly locals. A trip back to Okinawa and mainland Japan is in the works. Love your house.
old😊
I didn't realize that you get so nervous making the videos. I also extremely stress over things. This makes me even more appreciative that you post videos of your life for us to see. Thank you for all of your hard work.
This is literally so relatable! I also start generating enough heat to warm a whole house when I get nervous like that 😂
i really liked hearing Jun speaking Japanese during the sponsor bit! I hope the air-con pays off in the future, it might if you're hosting a bigger event with more people who give off body heat. thank you for saving Sargent spider.
Cracked me up when he started insisting that the strawberry crepe was an omurice.
Also, I can't believe that I managed to use a word I learnt by watching Maid Dragon, lol
One whole year? Wow, I still remember it like it was yesterday when you first posted about Pichi! Congratulations! 🎉
Solar is so amazing. I love all these new forms of sustainable tech like air-rust, wood, or sodium ion batteries, windmills shaped like a tree and each leaf is a tiny windblade, and now an exciting breakthrough with nuclear fusion. What a time to be alive. 💚💙💜
I am so damn glad to see more people talking positively about nuclear. In America there's FINALLY some work being done on field testing smaller safer fast reactors. I heard the research has existed since the cold war but people were so freaked out by Chernobyl that the project got shelved even though the new tech would be completely meltdown-proof. The new reactors can even run on the spent fuel from the older existing reactors that are less efficient, reducing nuclear waste to a miniscule level.
17:31 I love how Rachel is explaining stuff while Poki sits there like 'no thoughts, head empty'
When we moved to Hawaii, Mom chased all the geckos out of the house, not realizing they were the ones keeping the bugs out. After a few giant cockroaches, she finally accepted the geckos back in happily.
geckos are the best... but only if you don't have any cat... cats like to hunt them 😭
@@idraote Or dogs.
@@WyrdHag You get used to the lizards although I did have to get a new toaster after one got comfortable in our toaster and I didn't know so...crispy lizard essentially. I wasn't trying to clean the toaster after that.
Time flies by so fast ,congratulations you two
Oh god, I didn't realize huntsman spiders migrated outside of Australia 😬 I'm so phobic of spiders I definitely would not be able to live in the rural parts of Japan like you lol
Hi Rachel, for your moldy storage room problem, you should plug in a dehumidifier and just leave it running in there all the time or at least for a few hours everyday. It will probably fix the problem!
Or door standard gate
Coupled with ventilation, the easiest form of which may be altering or replacing the door. The only issue with (commercial grade) dehumidifiers (which is what I recommend, although that may be overkill for their needs) is that they're loud.
ahhh the way yall describe how peaceful and quiet it is with nice neighbors giving veggies sounds like paradiseeee
god I wish one day to build a house with my partner like this, I'm so happy you two are thriving and happy with your home and community, bugs and all haha. I can't believe even the huntsman spiders are polite, it sounds like such a dream
Poki exercising in the background🐾isn’t that cutest thing ever😂😂🫶
Mint essential oil, diluted with water, in a spray bottle. You spray around baseboards and entrances--it deters both bugs, including cockroaches, spiders, and mice, and is perfectly safe for pets (and any small children you might have over). Hope this helps =)
It's great to hear you're loving the house!
For those who own motorcycles, placing a steel scrubbing pad sphere that has several drops of (real) peppermint oil on it in the exhaust will deter mice and their friends from making nests in your airbox... this is especially nice to do when storing your bike(s) if your locale has snowy periods.
@@WyrdHag - It is true. Research. You have to use the appropriate plants and solutions, apply the solution properly and know that only select insects don't care for it.
5:27 Rachel's smile was so cute I had to stop typing up my grocery list to comment about it
My daughter (14) is obsessed with Japan and everything Japanese. I'm pretty sure it's her dream to either visit or live in Japan when she's all grown up. But I'm betting she hasn't heard of the spiders and cockroaches yet lol... I love your home, the bright and open interior is everything. I'm glad that you guys and the kitties are happy there 🥰
tell her about the giant wasps too...
@@idraote if they're American or Canadian, the murder Hornets have been spotted now on that continent (shipping).
There’s an insect museum in Sendagi Tokyo I’m planning on visiting. I’ll let you know how it goes :3
@@idraote Yikes, I will do.
@@EyeGlassTrainofMind South African living in Ireland, so at least we're familiar with the huntsman spiders. But yikes, I heard the murder hornets are terrible!
you guys are literally goals. You balances each other personality out and you both are really smart and diligent. I wish you all the happiness and more.
i need an updated hair care routine!! i’ve been taking care of my natural waves so i’d love to see how Rachel’s been doing with her hair ^^
This is so random but I remember a vlog type video when Rachel was far away from Jun and was so stressed that she got pericarditis and now they are together in a beautiful home. I love seeing how their life has grown together.
As an arachnophobe I could never live somewhere where those giant monsters just casually show up in your house. I found a big spider in my room once and didn't set foot in it for over a week so kudos to you two for being so casual about it. My phobia and anxiety could never.
I feel that so hard
The spiders in Asia generally aren't that bad. Not as bad as American and Australian spiders.
@@lm-pw9ul any spider is bad !!
My cat eats all the spiders that come around
When I think of spiders, garden spiders come to mind. You know the ones with neon yellow backs? Those gave me the chills so bad... I once rented a place where they have an unkept garden, and it was full of those. Like, there were so many it was impossible to count. Creeped me out so bad whenever I saw that there was a lot of them. I love gardens and shade, but the thought of having a bunch of them nest there is nearly enough to make me not want to have a garden really.
That's so cool about the spider facts! I didn't know about the cute nickname for the huntsman spiders. Glad to see the house is working out so well for you all! :D
Here are 2 cheap ways to fix the problems you noted.....
You could put grout / cocking on any gaps you may have to keep bugs from getting through. This is common from flooring to moldings and can be nearly any color and is pretty cheap. If you have white moldings you can make it invisible to the naked eye. That may help you push the only way in for bugs .... to certain spots and then put something they dont like such as lavender for mosquitoes. This can easily be done by hand with a cocking gun and stops bugs from getting in from any place accept the actual doors if you leave them open.
For the mold..... portable AC unit. for that size of a room it would be 200 USD. 5min to install. Just gota put a insert in the window for the vent hoze. This type of unit is on wheels and can AC, heat and dehumidifie. In colder seasons you can use it to heat a specific area instead of dehumidifieing the storage room. This is nice if one of you runs colder then the other .
15:16, it's very easy and gentle to catch bugs with a big plastic yogurt tub and a junkmail flier.
I love hearing Jun complimenting and encouraging Rachel on her DIY projects ♥
Honestly I'm obsessed with the bathroom. Rachel did such a great job!! It's got a natural yet modern feel to it
Congratulations on everything. Nice neighbours, dream home, free home grown veggies (yum), safe and happy cats.
The Huntsman service is a real bonus.
Being an Australian I'm extremely find of my Huntsman housemates too.
Wishing you all a great 2023.
This is an amazing accomplishment. Building a house anywhere on this planet is already major, but in Japan, kudos to the two of you and the teamwork. Jun´s quality in the cooking videos demonstrates how serious he is about everything he does, and the same goes for Rachel - overachiever, perfectionist, and hard worker. Congrats to both of you and all the felines...
Can I just say Rachel looks so beautiful in here my heart litterally skipped a beat when the video loaded lol
I liked how much Japanese Jun is speaking in this video.
I have been watching you guys since I was a teenager! So happy you guys are still making content!
I love Rachel's understanding of the ecosystem! I tried to explain to my mother that spiders coming and going is not a bad thing when there are insects around, the spiders hunt them! And otherwise they leave you alone, it's literally free service! Haha
I'd love to see springtime in your garden, especially after all the gardening videos you did. It's so good to know that your house is so cat friendly, bug friendly and Rachel and Jun friendly lol
Rachel's cute aggression when she sees the cute bunny snacks is so relatable to me haha
Rachel when she sees a bunny: JUUUN 👹
The amount of light you get in your place is the dreeeaammm. Maybe someday!
Sidenote: I saw a momma huntsman outside my apt once with all her babies on her back. I'm not scared of spiders, but that was NIGHTMARE FUEL.
Omg, this is the first I've seen of you in YEARS. LOVE the house, and Jun's english is nearing perfection! I love that you guys are still together. I idolized you guys so much when I was a teenager 🥺
So excited for another sit down and chat video! They're some of my favorites.
It's always so nice to have neighbors that share the fruits of their harvest. Probably one of the things I really appreciate about Japan.
I love this so much!! You guys are finally living your best lives :)
Hey Rachel and Jun and whoever new homeowner this Amy concern: I have not watched the entire video yet, I have just gotten around your "mold" section and would like to offer a little advice. Your house, as you said, is unusual for Japanese building in beinh made out of concrete and highly insulating glass plus steel beams. In olden days people used to build a property with either wood, stone and mortar, clay and Hay ects. All rather open to diffusion from groundlevel water and since windowpanes weren't occlusive the draft also carried warm air filled with water outside.
Pros of your way of building are obviously good insulation so that water droplets won't form on windows for instance because they don't get too cold as to condensate, the con is: you have removed almost all things that remove excess water from the rooms themselves.
Coated shelving, coated furniture ect won't take up excess water like raw or oiled woods would, whereas areas of concrete walls will have (if there are colder spots-doesn't matte if it isn't really 'cold' in the room, cold-er is enough) no way to take up water at all. Old mortar used to be made of material that would also have some 'give' as to waterretention, concrete does not, comparatively. So I would suggest one of the simplest ways of at least getting the room climate into balance again without having to rebuild anything : lime. Limestone is naturally white and makes for great plaster but also great paints. Limestone is both very absorband and also very much anti - mold since mold doesn't like the PH of it. Try it out in risky rooms.
It's usually very cheap. It won't help the humidity problem, but it will prevent spores from spawning and accumulating. Its also safe for animals.
Recommend this to anyone out there looking for an eco option.
Credit: years of limeputty, lime plaster and lime paint building on my own house. Rainiest spot around, no mold anywhere. There are many articles online you can find on lime being used in building, Google it. Humans have been using it for and extensive amount of time.
Honestly been following for years and seeing how hard y’all worked to get here is amazing I’m so happy for you guys!! ❤
Edit- yeHhh no bugs is a big no no for me spiders I’m like ehhh but roaches are like big nope for me lmao
The big roaches aren't actually that bad, though. They don't tend to turn into a severe infestation as easily as the smaller ones. We get the flying ones in Tennessee like they do in Japan. Actually had one that kept landing on me and I stopped being afraid of it. It actually seemed to want help getting back outside and flew away when I took it to the door. They are so intelligent that it's actually kind of cool.
It feels like it was just yesterday when I was watching you guys only dream about having your own blouse… It’s so great to see that you guys made your dream come true, we couldn’t be any prouder!
Have you guys considered putting "damp traps" in the room for storage. I get mine in the dollar store but you can find them online too. They have hanging ones or containers that sit on flat surfaces. I use them all over my house to avoid dampness/mold etc
I can’t believe it’s been a year! It seems like just yesterday!!! Time sure does fly!! I’m so happy you guys are happy!! Your home is beautiful and you guys are absolutely living the dream. I’m really excited for you guys and to see the future because I know it’s going to be amazing. I’m sending all of my love and best wishes!!! Thanks for taking the time to show us and explain to us. It’s really interesting as well. Have a great one!
I can't believe it has been a year. My sense of time is poor but holy smokes! I thought it had been a few months. Weird.
Love Rachel casually speaking Japanese! 🥰 and love Poki exercising!
Lol I saw Haku or Nagi climb on the plant and thought pee time and edit they disappeared! 😄
17:57 18:15 - Poki's meow is really adorable!
The way you both are wearing your colors is eye-catching!
Happy new year and happy 1 year in your home 💜
So great to hear that you guys are loving your house! Really cool to see that the solar panels are working out well and that you’re able to monitor your monthly usage :) Best wishes for the new year!
This makes me so happy! I've been struggling a little bit lately but hearing all your stories about the lovely neighbors and all the kind things they do, how they welcomed you and you fit in right away, it's really good "faith in humanity" material! Thanks for sharing guys, and I'm so happy life (and people :P) has been treating you so well :)
Edit: made a typo
Happy New Years! We love you guys!
Congrats!! I’m so happy for you guys, wishing you luck and more peace in 2023
Thank you for the tour. Happy New Year! And may you have many more wonder filled years in your home.
awww so happy for you guys! we live vicariously through you
This was such an adorable video. You guys and your cats are the best. I hope you have a great year.
It's really nice to see you guys so happy :)
😍😍 I love how much Jun has been talking more and more in Japanese
What an amazing team you are!
I am so glad for you!
Congratulations to the both of you
They were so cute in this video! jun thanking rachel a bunch was so cute :,)
What I love about your house is how light and airy it looks,light coming in everywhere.
Happy New Year! 🎊 💙💙💙
Beautiful home for two beautiful people and their sweet cats!
It’s funny cuz I had just re-binged a bunch of your videos and was wondering how long you’ve been in your new house, so happy for you guys, it looks amazing!
Happy New Year!!!!!
💕 Happy New Year to you guys
Congratulations on achieving this wonderful house, so full of life! 😊👏
Continously wishing you both all the best life has to offer!
Thank you for sharing this journey, love you both~ 💕
I love that you guys installed solar panels. That is a dream of mine to get. Hopefully we're able to do that in Canada. It's awesome to see the cats having fun. Congrats on one year and many more to come!
So glad you're enjoying everything. Can't wait for a full tour of the house and garden!
So happy for you guys!!
The laundry washable feature on your blinds is amazing!
So happy for you guys!!! ❤
So happy for you guys 😊
When will we be getting the house tour?? 🥺🥺
