🙈Perhaps I should have titled this video "A city blonde's unsuccessful struggle with the village real estate market" or "In Search of a Decent Village Bomb Shelter". My story is briefly as follows: After the Russian missile attacks and the ensuing blackouts, I decided to buy a house in the countryside in the summer of 2023. Since my budget was quite limited, I first bought a house in Cherkasy region for $2,000. I started to renovate it with my own hands and at first I was very happy. But there were no amenities in the house and it would have cost $4,000 just to bring water to the house, so I sold the house and found a new one with running water (and a toilet inside, not outside!). The house had exterior siding and looked nice, so I didn't hesitate to buy it and start repairing it with my own hands. But as it turned out, under the beautiful cover was an old monster. The house was wooden, built after World War II, and the roof and foundation were falling apart and needed to be replaced immediately. In the summer of 2023 I thought I had bought a wonderful house at a great price. But it was a trap. Local builders roughly calculated the roof and foundation replacement on my old house and came up with a verdict of $5,000 or more. Why didn't I notice the cracked foundation and leaking roof when I bought it? It didn't even occur to me. The most important thing was that the house looked nice and had water in it. The cost of repairing this (second!) house is unrealistic for me, so I decided to sell it and find another (THIRD!) house with a solid roof and foundation. But this turned out to be impossible, as all the inexpensive houses in the countryside have been bought up by internally displaced people from the regions occupied by the Russians. So I have nothing left but to start trying to gradually renovate my old rural bomb shelter. Anyway, the village mice, of which I am terrified and which I have been unsuccessfully fighting for almost a year, approve of my idea of renovating the house. 😉Buy nice or buy twice.🙄

I was surprised to not see people in the village. Thank you for showing your house. Maybe some one in Ukraine can offer advice on insulation of the house for comfort. Never give up! Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Ukraine is a beautiful country🇳🇴❤️🇺🇦
It's always good to see an update from you. Good luck with the mice. Make sure your neighbors are doing their part. If they have mice, you will too. You are right about food containers. Metal is the only way to go. Hope your roof and foundation is not too bad and you can get them repaired soon. You and Ukraine are always in my prayers. Слава Україні!
Vita's village villa adventure continues!
It would be so much better if you can make at least one room warmer.
The axe head you found can be cleaned up and a wooden handle bought from DIY store. Then you have small hatchet for splitting wood for fire. It need smaller pieces of wood to burn 1st before a larger long lasting fire is burning. Your sunny attitude is inspiring!
Never Give Up!
💙💛💙💛💙💛💙
Brigitte L Jones. You must be 🤣joking, Vita has so much to do it would be better to buy a new hatchet. The idea is good though if she can get her son to do what you suggest when he goes with her.Another task to master making the boy into a practical man.
Thank you!🙂❤️❤️❤️ You’re expanding my DIY English vocabulary.🙂 Honestly it’s easier to buy a new hatchet. 🙂 That one will be in my private village museum.😀
The small axe head has some history with the house/village and it looks nice. It will have more meaning back in use. Basically scratch the rust off, maybe even use blue and yellow rust paint on it, put on a handle - easy - something DIY Vita will appreciate! @@MrKaypet
Yes, Vita - true, as it can also be nice decorative piece you dug up! It has a nice shape to it. See if there are maker's markings on it that might tell you the age.@@ThinkUkraine
Vita you are so brave and amazing. Everything will work out for the best. Will you still have frost in the Village? Praying for you and family. Stay strong and Slava Ukraine.
Many people in Ukraine are brave and continue to work around the clock to help each other and give safety of Ukraine at its highest honor. God Bless the Ukrainians and Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to all people supporting Ukraine!🙏🇺🇦
@@ThinkUkraine Thank You for all the videos and content God Bless ❤️
Ive tried ultrasonic Did not work at all! Had some luck with glue traps. So lovely to see you😊 Hugs 🫂 🤗 4U an my dear friend Richie 🧡
You are truly a warm shinning light of joy, in the midst of such a horrific war.😊 I have been to Ukraine 6-7 times, all before 2022. Many hugs to you from America! SLAVA UKRAINE!!!
Hello Vita, you never fail to impress me. Looks like your summer is going to be busy! Positive as always which is nice to see. I honestly think that you have all that's necessary enthusiasm and skills to be successful with all your projects. A man is not really necessary except to give you lots of hugs and cuddles! Take care, best wishes to you and your children oh and your pets too. Allan ✌️🇺🇦🫶
I understand that there are some people in the Far East who eat rodents.... perhaps you could start an export business!!!!!😊
Hi Allan ♥️ Thank you so much!☀️🌻🌻🌻
Everything that is broken can be fixed. You are intelligent, I think you know in your heart you made a wise choice. If I wanted to buy that village house here I Canada it would cost at least $500,000.can it is a valuable asset for you and your children. I think you got a bargain. Just follow your heart, it will never fail you!
I agree! I live in Canada and you are so right! In the GTA you would never find a fixer upper like Vita's for under a mill, if at all.
wow i have have watched all your video's but have only commented on the last two. you are amazing, your little house can become a wonderful home with some TLC. Stay Safe.
Thank you very much for sharing these impressions with us.

I can relate to your mouse problem, my daughters house had them. They can get through a hole the diameter of a pencil, so it's important to fill any cracks and holes where you think they are coming. Use steel wool because they cannot chew through it. Spray some ammonia around where you can't smell but they can, it tricks them into thinking there is cats. A hungry cat also helps. Your roof looks like a patch would cover the hole, and a bit of masonry cement can seal the cracks in the foundation and keep mice out. Don't worry Vita! It's okay! I like your village house and it's much better than many people have. You can fix anything, you are so smart and determined! Love from Canada, slava Ukraini!
Thank you!🙂
Greetings to Canada!♥️♥️♥️
Glad to see you back in the village. 😊
❤️Hello and thank you for show your part of life, , i admire you and all curage ukrainen people, i can only say blessings and victory to ukraine 🙏❤️ greetings from Sweden ☺️
I am cheering for your success!
🙏♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!🌻
Vita, your village is awesome, I hope you can get to enjoy some peace and quiet there in the summer with your family (and mice!)
🙂♥️ Thank you!
Yes, it is a beautiful country, I will have to wait till after the war to visit. 🇧🇻🇺🇦
Ukrainian are smart resilient people .MABUHAY FROM PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
Thank you!🙏♥️♥️♥️
the title did shock!
If you managed to stay healthy though with these 11°, this after a long time of desperation was the first really uplifting news of the cradle of freedom.
The "Ukrainian" freedom loving Christmas tree looks well, that splendid landscape almost promises a rich summer and - oh boy - that tranquility injects new life and hope even remotely.
That's why you bought the house!
Roof and foundation can always get fixed.
Nature und landscape are there or not.
It hurts to imagine, how the roads would look had Ukrainians have circumstances to develop as they deserve.
Where else do people edit and publish videos as you, where else are there so many talents and innovations, where else is there so much decency and commitment?
Hope the world, in particular Europe, did recognize that and understands these roads as indication for the suppression and robbery that obviously occurred - by those people that drive around here with pimped up, blacked out massive cars and always polished rims???
Seems you didn't give up.
And team "Never give up" won't give up.
If life is just, that spring gently looking through these trees will bring the blossoms of final freedom.
Yesss! your christmas tree survived 🎉🎉🎇
Loved this video, Vita. So interesting. What peace in that village in wartime! Your humour makes watching very entertaining.
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
Alot of hard work, in time it will come together. You have a diamond in the rough, with a lot of hidden beauty., When your garden comes in it may give you some peace, I feel the spirit within speak to me, so close to God. Vita, I love your spirit, you are a very good, may you be blessed in all you do. Slava Ukraine💛💙Good shall prevail over evil. Be safe, you are amazing.
Have a fun day

You’re amazing Vita. One day I’d like to visit Ukraine and buy a house with a garden and plant lots of fruit trees
Thank you!🙂❤️
Don't give up, don't ever give up! You are strong, you are Ukrainian!!! 💪💪💪beautiful too
It's not giving up, if she make it to looks like beautiful she can get good money, than with that money buy better house.
@@YamadaSena I'm talking about giving in to the invaders. Can't negotiate with terrorists.
@@user-po1mj3fi5dI thought you was talking about her house, because videa was about selling her house
@@YamadaSena nope, she painted the words in another video also. Strong woman!
Hi Vita think you need some oil on your gate,ialso you need a cat will be cheaper a proper village mouser we call them will get rid of them,take care you doing a great job its how i learned just do it love to you and your family💙💛
She need to sell that house, little bit investment just to make it beautiful, paint wall, paint this wood on roof, when customer come he need to think it's good. Than buy new house.
Perhaps grumpy cat from her apartment in Kyiv would enjoy a vacation in the countryside, chasing the mice.
@@carolwilliams8511 This cat (his name is Fedya) is male, male usually do not catch mouse, female catch mouse?
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
@@ThinkUkraine Do not invest big money in that house, do not repair, do same like with rusty old car, make walls looks like beautiful, paint them, moleray, anything looks like old do moleray, paint make walls looks like beautiful, roof camouflage it, make it looks like beautiful than sell for good money.
Thank you 🙂
Thank you!🙂♥️
Thank you for these. Never give up. Respect and love from the US.
mouse glue pads work well.
Nooooo, it’s not for me🥹
may be your son with gloves or the cat @@ThinkUkraine
As long as the mice are not wearing any shoes 😊
@@walterjones5300 Vita's cat has such attitude. Probably her cat will say, I am not touching them, put them in my next Union contract and I will get back to you.
Vita, an easy fix for the cracks in your foundation is to get some spray Foam Insulation that will cover a large gap. I had mice in my garage when I 1st bought my house and then I found the cracks and holes that they can get into and used the spray insulation and I haven't had a mouse for 3 years now. Remeber the little bastards can fit through the tiniest hole so you will have to look for anything you see. Still set your traps so you can monitor the situation. But hopefully you will start to see results!
Be well and stay safe! Keep smiling and sharing your story from the "Capital of Freedom!"
Thank you for sharing!🙂 The locals told me the only way out was to build a new foundation because the house was in a critical condition.🥹
The cracks I can see in the video look similar to the crack I had in the corner of my garage floor, but it's hard to tell from a video. Get yourself 3-4 cans. It's not very expensive, but have a plan where you are going to spray (maybe a can of blue or yellow paint to mark all the spots you suspect) once you start spraying it you can't wait long otherwise the stuff starts to harden and the little hose will get plugged up.
Get a small can of metal lubricant spray for your gate and other metal latches, doors and locks. Don't forget to get a bigger metal bucket to scoop out your ashes.
Your Chateau looks like a nice quiet place in the Universe. Would love to hear any positive results!
BTW: congratulations on your flower buds! "Survivors, all of you!! I laughed so hard at your "maybe Stalin ate here!!!"@@ThinkUkraine
Thank you Vita for your amazing channel, and for your perseverance! Slava Ukraina...🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍⭐🍻
Thank you!🙏♥️♥️♥️
The Christmas tree never gave up (followed your example)! Looks like you need a Humvee (machine gun optional) for your village trips.
I'm sorry to see people stole your solar lights, that's very disrespectful. Great video! always enjoy your little house in the country videos. Do you have a metal detector? You might find all kinds of goodies buried on your property.
Hello Vita great to see the village life. It reminds me where I go on holiday every year Bulgaria as my wife is Bulgarian. Everything looks the same in the village and even the towns do. But sadly it can be a hard life in Ukraine even with out the war as it is in Bulgaria. I have seen over the years how Bulgaria changed for the better and can see Ukraine will go this way. So keep going as you and the children will have a bright future. Mike uk
Hi Mike🙂 Thank you for sharing!♥️
Never give up Vita for your beautiful name is life❤️ Do you have enough wood for the spring season until summer is ready? Will you be staying there over summer to do some extra jobs around the house? You need fencing around your property… it reminds me of my family’s village in Italy, a beautiful gated entry but there’s no fences around the perimeter. Love your adventures & determination! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦⭐️💪💪 You’re too beautiful for farm life ❤️
Brigitte L Jones. Saying, "You’re too beautiful for farm life," would get hatchets thrown at any man by my Latvian parents & Ukrainian in-laws for making such inane suggestions about a woman based on their looks.
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️ I don’t have enough woods but I’m having a heater. That old oven also needs repairs so I’m a bit scared to use it. And this village house is the only chance and place to have summer vacation now. 🥹
Your foundation is fine just patch the crack and keep the water out of it..
Non Lethal Mice deterrent. With directions which you already have.
You Will Need:
Used kitty litter
Small open containers
Directions:
Place the used kitty litter in several small, shallow containers without lids.
Put the containers near entry points to your home, including near exterior doors and windows, as well as in basements and attics.
If using this method indoors, keep in mind that cat urine does smell. Don’t place containers of used cat litter anywhere you don’t want odors to accumulate.
I had never heard about the kitty litter but it sounds practical.
Great Idea.
The foundations look level. Don't worry about a gap here and there, but yes you do need fix the roof to keep the timbers dry. Maybe some plastic sheeting will help till then.
Thank you!
Hi Vita, You are the most fashionable country farmer in Europe! As for the mice, you must cut off their access, any holes in the walls, under kitchen cabinet, behind the fridge (where it s nice and warm if you leave your fridge on all the time)) and the roof. Then put on screens on all windows and doors, so if a window or door is left open they cannot get in (also keeps the screen keep the bugs out). I know in Europe it is not common to have screens (metal wire mesh not plastic ones) on your doors and windows, but believe me they keep the bugs out and possibly the mice too. A jack Russell dog is really the best for mice as they are bred to hunt for mice on the farms. As far as the mice are concern, your home is in the way of their home, since they have lived in the fields for millions of years. I am not sure if any electronic measures would work (unless they have a guarantee and you can return it if it does not work in 90 days... The Pest Control companies may be able to assist t come in and mice proof your home. If you bate them use peanut butter, I would hide some poison inside the peanut butter too, in case your trap is not activated when they eat it. How about buying the house next door, since your neighbor is no longer there. You may be able to provide your home to a displaced family with no rent, as long as they have the know how to fix it and keep it up for one year, add a condition that if the military action in Kyiv becomes unbearable you would have the ability to come in and live there for a few days with them and your family.
Everyone talking holes, holes... no one understand how mouses going into house. Door, simple, she come, work, record video, door opened, they enter. Door is problem.
Your hate for the mice amuses me greatly, lol. I hate intrusive rodents too. ❤🇺🇸
🙂🙂🙂
Hi Vita, I live in the countryside of New Zealand and mice are a problem everywhere, so I got a cat, she keeps the population down really well, in the country you can never get rid of them 100% I tried everything to.and found the cat and mouse traps. Thank you sharing, keep smiling see you in the next video, be safe ❤
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
Greetings to New Zealand!❤️
@ThinkUkraine thank you so very much, I only joined your channel a couple of months now, I went back and watched your first videos, I am really sorry to find out ypu lost your husband, I can't imagine how hard that would have been for you and the kids, your husband was a true hero, I offer my condolences. Just know you have a TH-cam family too and we are here to help in any way we can. Keep smiling you are doing an awesome job both at home and for Ukraine, Glory to all Ukraine, you will win.
@69kiwijon 🙏🙏🙏♥️ Thank you so much! I never expected I would find real Friends and support here, but TH-cam not only bans me🙂, it brings kind intelligent people into my life.
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
@@ThinkUkraine dito 😀🙏 💜
Always happy to see you and with every new video you post my desire to go and visit Ukraine grows.
Here are two pointers that hope will help:
* to combat the mice problem, if it is available buy boric acid and mix it with sugar and flour, then place containers around the house. Make sure to remove every container before you bring your pets with you because it is deadly for them too.
* Do not plant the trees so close to the house because eventually the roots will cuse you problems with pipes and house structure!
Love your sense of humor, take care and be safe. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦 🤗
She need paint, wall, moleray, farba, I don't know to say in English, just to make it beautiful and sell it. That green door paint to. It must looks like candy
It always makes me happy to see you in the village 😊 Is someone from Babushka Katya family living in her house now?
Oi Vita é sempre bom vê você de novo a cada vídeo que Deus te abençoe sempre
Você me fez lembrar minha vo ela adora plantar coisas 😅 o que me impressiona é que mesmo com o frio elas continuam vivas aqui no calor tropical muitas morrem infelizmente
:47: I don't see nay storm water drains on that hill along the curb, so that will always be like that. Small towns can not usually afford such a luxury....
gawd i feel like i should come there help ya for a few months

Привіт Віта😊 Thanks for sharing your feelings and thoughts while visiting your village home after all this time. What really bothered me was the theft of your garden lamps 😢 Waiting for your next upload❤❤❤ You are always in my prayers 🙏🏻💗 Kisses and hugs from Athens, Greece 🇬🇷❤️🇺🇦😘

Hi VITA, i would said to you all my admiration for your strong détermination to LIVE !! AND THE KINDNESS IN YOUR EYES SOMETIME❤ and infortunatly sadness too, 😢 you make me happy 'cause i love you, some expression on your face make smile on my face
No chance for " rendez vous" but i'm your friend, 🙏🇺🇦❤️🤗😸🐕
Thank you so much!🙏♥️♥️♥️
Please check your wood stove chimney with a cleaning brush to be sure that nothing is blocking it.❤
It’s a good piece of advice. Locals have told me already that there was something wrong with it so I’d better not use it until it’s cleaned and repaired.🙄
I was so shocked someone took your solar lights 😮 what with the evidence of the mice parties that's not such a warm welcome but keep on never giving up, Vita. Greetings from the UK ❤
When I saw it I felt like they stolen from me in Germany. Why people from Eastern Europe like to steel, really. 😡
She shouldn't buy them. It's like in Germany, you buy lights for bicycle, you enter into shop to buy something, return and look there is no light. Russians, Russian language people, eastern European people like theft.
Vita, dearest very good friend,
Greetings from your very good friend Andrei,
You are the most wonderful woman of Ukrainian motherland especially this day being international women's day,
Still sad that those orc's have destroyed families life, testing the strength of all Ukrainian people,
Quiet it may be as spring develops, time to get life in action, new plant growth, a warming home, even if it's cold at this time, warmth with return, given time will look good ,

Dear Andrei, thank you so much!♥️♥️♥️
Vita, Dyakuyu,
Your confidence shows through in all you achieve, especially the difficult things,
You are the very most wonderful magnificent woman,
Wish could be there to help your plans for the house and garden areas,
If am right all Ukrainian motherland people are suspicious until they know a very good friend, Dyakuyu Vita, SLAVA UKRAINA, Your dearest very good friend Andrei, Take care please, Stay safe please, ✌️🤞👍✨️🌱💯❤️💋💙💛🌻🇺🇦🇪🇺
Hello thowt you lived in the city, just you and all of Ukraine people peaceful life. Soon I hope
Your going to your Dacha alone like that alone could be very dangerous. I know people who have gone back to their dachas like you did and found escaped prisoners hiding in them and very bad drunks. It can be dangerous to go some where you have not been in a couple months alone like that.
It's Ukraine, not USA, in Ukraine there is no many psychopaths like in USA
Мені б хотілося, щоб у мене було місце в селі, теж холодно, я холодно в місті Березань, друже❤
It looks like you have someone helping you, so you're in good shape and we won't have to worry too much about you.
If you leave for long periods of time, see if the utility companies have a program for that or if turning off the power is possible, without having to pay any service fees or deposits.
You seem to have a nice place, even though it is old. If ever you need to replace the siding, that's when you need to replace rotted wood, scrape flaked paint, replace old wiring, (hire an electrician to do that) repaint everything, kill mold - whatever needs attention given to it.
You are obviously planning on staying there a long time, so don't feel like you have to do everything right away.
When it's freezing cold, set up plastic sheeting to cover windows, as this will reduce cold penetration.
If your wood burner can't heat the entire house, use plastic sheeting, bed sheets, blanket to close off rooms and reduce the area around the heat. Covering the floors with cardboard and then rugs may make them less cold.
If you have no running water during cold weather, you can always store water in the bathtub or in clean 5 gallon/liter buckets. To avoid 🪠 clogs, put tissue 🧻 in a trash bag and not down the toilet. Small, 4 gallon trash bags work well for this. If you cannot flush at all, then shut off the water valve, clean the toilet and flush it. Dry it out and install an 8 gallon up to a 13 gallon trash bag inside the toilet and use it multiple times before removing and replacing with a new bag. You can stop by a large garbage dumpster to get rid of these bags. I wouldn't burn them, as plastic burns black and will give your troublemakers something to complain about.
Some farmers on TH-cam have good experience with catching rodents. There are some that experiment with different traps on TH-cam. You can create them too and upload it. It’s good content as the traps are easy to make and results should be decent according to the ones they describe
Greetings from Utah. Leave cat food outside. Cats will clean your yard and your surroundings when food isn't available to them once they get used to roam around in your yard in search for food. I tried that in my home for a few weeks. No more mice😂😂😂!
Glory to Ukraine.
PS : unless I'm mistaken, that mice poison is dangerous to other animals, specially carnivores, since that poison is a blood thinner and mice don't usually die right away and get eaten by preying animals😮.
Anticoagulant Warfarin based rodenticides kills only rodents as they are susceptible to bleed to death. Not poisonous.
That's sad when you said all of the men in your village are gone 😞

Greetings to the UK 🇬🇧!♥️♥️♥️
drop axe handle in pail with oil/gas
it is expensive and you can later make wood handle
that it goes on
The winter snow has gone.
👍
If the house has stood for 80 years even with poor foundations, has no water leaks, has running water to a kitchen, bathroom and inside toilet then it is worthwhile working on. I suggest with spring coming you discuss with neighbours what vegetables to plant and prepare your ground. If the ground is too hard for turning over with a spade, use a steel mattock, it takes a bit more effort. You have already got a good, stiff tined metal rake to create a fine tilth soil bed for planting. You have a large area that can be planted so there could be a surplus of produce for giving to neighbours, keeping for yourself or meals for soldiers or for pickling and preserving for the winter months. I understand you have summer rainfall there so you may not need irrigation. Hopefully if disease and pests are not a problem you should just have regular hand-weeding to do, and I think have a good hoe. Perth, Western Australia.
Thank you so much!🙂♥️
Yes, I have big plans for that piece of land. Especially now when agricultural Ukraine has to import fruit and vegetables because ruzzians occupied or destroyed the territories which used to supply the whole country.
Thank you for all your pieces of advice.
Greetings to Western Australia!❤️☀️☀️☀️
You have to find where the mice are getting in. Maybe where the plumbing or electrical wiring goes through the floor or walls you will find gaps. Block all of the gaps with stainless steel wool and silicone.
Thank you!🙂♥️
One day a new Ukraine more beautiful! Rudi.
Dear Rudi, thank you!♥️♥️♥️
If you and the children are happy , stay and enjoy, just work on the jobs one by one , good luck
Thank you!💛💙
Regarding mice.. look all round the outside to see where the mice are coming in and block holes, then inside.. and then block any inside holes.. put mice traps close to walls around were the mouse poop is.. hope this helps.. Stay safe.. Slava Ukraine..
I can't believe so many people talking holes, holes, holes... how mouse enter into house? Door, when she visit house, working, door opened, they enter inside...
Thank you fir the video.
Did you put mice bauts in the shed? They probably travel to the house from there.
Walk around the village at night and see if you can see the light. Put air tags on them.
If you put a very tall pole 3" or 4" deep in the ground in concrete with a solar powered infrared camera. They cant fet to it but it can see everything.
Maybe you should just accept, that living in the countryside means living together with mice.
If you need a bomb shelter in future, maybe you should consider a mobilehome or small caravan. It may not given the same protection as a real bombshelter, but it would be easier to move around.
I'm cancelling patients to watch these videos,if you are reading the comments, please help this wonderful woman, subscribe, she's really needs the help
Не здавайтеся! Ми з вами!! Ми любимо вас й ваш народ!! ❤❤❤
Vita you need a 5HP rotorvator to plough your backyard or if you know someone with a small tractor pay him in dollars and if you give him a bottle of good Horilka but only when he does the job otherwise your tractor will be doing 8ths all on your yard be there to witness it ha ha .
I thought you are a ruzzian bot. But you are a good guy 😁♥️
@@ThinkUkraine You can tell if it's a Russian bot by them using bad English with spelling mistakes. Vita I'm telling you something happened to me before this war started I was getting clips of Ukrainian anthems being sung and at one time someone from Ukrainian security wanted to know how I got the top secret information which I predicted but I ignored it maybe he was phishing. Nevermind you bought your village house without having a builders report done on the building as I know a lot of village houses are built poorly and usually without title deeds so basically you can not borrow money from a bank that's why they are cheap . The best way of doing is to knock the old house down , then obtain title deeds to the property through the village council and yes you need solicitors to do this once all that's done the 2000 dollars and 1000 dollars to tear down and sell the property privately or auction but I think you could get 7000 dollars on sale of land .
Be careful with touching anything from the roof of your house, it looks like the panels are made of asbestos. Not good.. Take care hun Slava Ukraini from the US
Thank you!♥️
Greetings to the USA!🇺🇸♥️
@@ThinkUkraine 👍❤
Look up bucket mouse trap on youtube. Mice fall into the bucket and drown. What I currently use is Sticky traps. Put peanut butter in the middle and mice get stuck in the trap. Both methods work great and no chance of cross poisoning other animals.
God bless you all! Is it safer out there, why you moved? Are your kids with grandparents?
Brigitte L Jones. Vita your plants at the house are showing recovery and life, especially the Christmas tree. Take this as an omen of your village house being a success.Vita the problem with your extreme poisoning is that you may have made this place risky for your pets. CHECK WITH A VET how much clean up you need to do outside and inside before your place can have your pets brought back. Your house is not that bad an investment at all. You've got some foundations to fix, & any bit else that is rotted.While these costs double the price, it is still cheap. Your house ought to be have been visited and lived in more often to reduce the mice problem and extreme cold.Though you could not do this in winter because your roads were too dangerous to drive on. Overall Vita YOU NOW KNOW and understand what you have to do with your house. I believe you will eventually manage to make it a success and worth more money, at least double what you paid + renovations in the immediate future. In 25 years later it could be worth many times that.
Thank you so much!🙏♥️♥️♥️
Can I come to Ukraine to help you rebuild? I'm looking for a home in the heart of the country and maybe your village would be a good place for me to plant my roots? It also turns out I'm very good at growing sunflowers Slava Ukraine
знайдіть, де миші заходять у будинок, і загородіть діри. покласти сітку на кінці труб. пошукайте щілини за ванною і раковиною. подивіться, де в будинок входить газова труба. використовувати поролоновий наповнювач.
Regarding mouses they enter into house when she open door, when I was child we had same problem, my family made, double door ie between door and other door room, they never come again. Also do not put food inside, like floor etc etc

You need to plug any holes on the outside of the house so mice cannot get in, than you can work on getting rid of the mice in your house!!
I need to have a new foundation 🥹
She need double door, room in front of this door. And door must be closed. And do not put food inside. We had same problem, we didn't have door in front, just one door inside, now we have, it's like small тераса, balcon, I do not know to say in English, but problem it cost money. Better she make it to looks like beautiful and sell it for good money than buy new house
Everyone saying holes, holes, house is not like cheese 😂, door is problem.
@@YamadaSena lmao!
@@YamadaSena lmao, field mice are not knocking on her door, you can clearly see cracks in the foundation and gaps around the house, if she fills those cracks, she can than work on getting rid of the mice inside!!
