    Oh I love the cosy ambience of your bedroom setup. It was a bit chilly at -4C in my wee bit of Scotland this morning, no doubt you’re going to get a lot chillier than that. What beautiful surroundings you have and I love your filming. Stay warm 🤗

    New subscriber here. Your “moving video” popped up in my feed and I watched it and can relate to the annoying karaoke!! I don’t mind dogs barking because I have two little ones myself, but we keep them under control.
    I’m from British Columbia, lived here all my life, and I’m at the age where I want to start spending more time on life than work. As much as I enjoy my career, my wife and I are now looking to get out of the Fraser Valley and move somewhere either to the West Kootenay’s or up near your neck of the woods. All those little towns strung along the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 5) have charm and potential for affordable acreage. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos and new ones that you will be producing.
    Thanks so much!

    • @i.b.lancer
      @i.b.lancer  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey you're welcome. Born and raised in the lower mainland myself. I looked around the west kootenays as well but ultimately settled in Clearwater, almost solely because of the shops on this property. If you're going to look up the Yellowhead keep in mind that the railroad runs up and down this valley. They don't really bother me that much but I can still hear them. If you want to come this way, I would really look along Hwy 24 between Little Fort and 100 mile. No trains, no logging trucks and lots of lakes. It's very peaceful over there. Thanks for watching.

    • @twentiethcenturyboy6328
      @twentiethcenturyboy6328 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ Thanks for your reply. I was born in North Van in 63. Been in BC my entire life but lived in various regions throughout my years. Spent most of my time in Abbotsford where I reside currently. I recognize your previous location in Aldergrove. Not too far from where I am now.
      I don’t mind the railroads as I spent much of my youth in Kamloops living a block away from the CN mainline in Brockelhurst. Trains and railroads are part of my DNA.

    I discovered blackout curtains / thermal lining. Looks like they are going to work extremely well. Wish I knew about them sooner. They are heavy, so the rod needs to be sturdy. They claim to keep some excess heat out in the summer as well. Sure hope so!

It was expensive even then to replace the old windows so I get it that you keep using the older ones. You can always replace one at a time. We are not too far north that it gets too bad in winter.

      Well I've only been here a month, not really any time to replace anything at this point. I'm just covering the bases to get me through the winter and I'll plan for a spring update. There's a lot to update on this house, just about everything is original 1957... It's kind of amazing actually. Also, I got another two cords of wood delivered yesterday and I spent all day today splitting it up. I thought I better have some extra wood just in case.
