I suggest that you look into "Solatube" or something like it. They bring natural daylight in where you don't have a window. I don't know if you have a need for one, but I think they are really cool. My dad had one in a hallway in his house and it made it feel so much more open and comfortable in what would have been a dark and gloomy place. I hope you continue to have fun 💕

Be aware that using steel wool has a problem with rust and eventually rust or corrosion dripping from the ceiling and down the walls and onto floors and foundation. Stainless steel wool might be worth researching. There are 150 grades of stainless steel though and some grades are more prone to rust and corrosion particularly in high humidity or high salinity environments. I did some looking around and found that insulations made from hemp are touted as a natural rodent repellent. Check out cellulose... hope this helps Cellulose is made of recycled materials. It depletes the giant piles of newspaper thrown away every day. This helps reduce our carbon footprint. The R-value of cellulose is better than most other insulations. R-value is the amount of an insulating material needed to keep hot or cool air. The higher the better. It’s better for your health. Cellulose does not contain any fiberglass like other common insulations. Fiberglass has the risk of cancer, irritation and rash. Cellulose is generally cheaper than many other options. It can save you up to 25% more money compared to some of the standard insulations. Blown cellulose easily fills in cracks and crevices to provide a seamless barrier. There are less risk of fires, mold and insects. Cellulose is treated with boric acid that works to repel dangers and pests. In the long-term, cellulose R-value decreases slower than other insulations. It has an acrylic binder that makes sure it settles when installed.

Is it just me or have their editing skills gone to a whole new level of awesome!?! It felt like I was watching a HGTV show 😍

I have a recommendation for you. When wood is wet, it is very slippery. Mix silica sand with whatever stain/sealant you use to protect the wood. The silica sand is non-slip in all conditions.

Nice to see you back after your week off. It's good to know that if you're ever attacked by dangerous wild boxes, the girls will protect you.

I agree but Vanwives forgot an issue with there boardwalk. One wood rot when wet all the time. by have the wood laying on the ground like that it will absorb the any moisture. Also key thing in Canada is think about drainage so you don't pools of water from the rain or pile of snows ( ie from shoveling the boardwalk to the get in the cabin). I love it and i think it great idea , just think you guys missed something to it last longer for you. See you Sunday!!!

You guys can rock construction! I know that you have learned a lot from the boardwalk build! The fact that you are now venturing into the interior of your cabin… can’t wait to see your imagination and skills at work! It’s an adventure that I can’t wait to see. Thanks for letting us into your lives each week. It was a long spell without you!

That ending was so great. 😆 Great job as always girls. So glad that the cabin structure looks good. That was a messy job, but you guys made it fun. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪

What an amazing transformation from when you first moved in. Endless energy between you two. Cannot wait to see what the two of you come up with for the interior.

Closed cell foam is not cheap, but is the BEST!! We did our cottage with it. I was worried that there would be odors, toxins, etc., but it is fabulous! It’s like heating the inside of a Yeti cooler, it doesn’t take much! Good call ladies! 🥰 ..Would have someone professional where you buy your cabinets help design your kitchen, it will pay dividends in the long run.. also use PEX for as much plumbing as you can, and you guys could do that yourselves too! Use the stainless cinches! One tool fits most every diameter pipe you will use, and it will withstand freezing, just in case!! Go get um girls..

Crystal & Jazz , you two are absolutely rocking the reno , the boardwalk looks awesome with the garden pathway , Bella & Izzy are doing well in their supervisor roles ( they are just so darn cute ) have a super awesome week , catch ya on the flip side .. Paws up 🐾🐾 .. Cheers.

Everything is looking sooo good!! The blueberry picker really was such a thoughtful gift. I’m super excited to see what you do to the inside. You two are both badass women, and it’s inspiring for sure!!

I laughed so hard at "that's only because I'm the wife too" keep up the good work!!

Wow, that walkway looks so freakin awesome; you seem to think of everything. And the inside looks so nice; a great fresh start. Love the present you got for Chrystal, the expression on her face was beautiful, from confusion to totally happy. It's also nice to see if you're ever attacked by a pack of wild boxes, the puppies are there to protect you. Anyway, hope you had a lot of fun at pride and enjoy your berry picking. Bernie

"Let's start with coffee," words to live by. Episode 500, Jazz and Crystal build a cabin on the moon. I am pretty sure, you two can do anything you put your minds to.

The joy you have for life and the enthusiasm you have for your projects is just infectious. Just a delight to watch.

I love how you both are so amazing at getting things done. Love seeing your adventures and its a dream for me to have a place like that away from city. Stay blessed you guys ❤️
