🪴 Plant some citronella plants and buy some citronella candles as well . I dealt with that in my backyard area. Those things were soooooooo bad. I also kept the grass cut and got rid of anything that helped them breed even though it's impossible around this time of year for you with all the creeks and ponds. I guess every little thing helps....lol. l love how the house is coming along. You're such an inspiration ❤️

PB&J burritos are exactly what FEMA fed us after the hurricane. I'd forgotten all about those.

Planting things like lavender, mint, citronella, lemongrass, basil, and catnip will make your yard smell heavenly and deter mosquitos. Also make sure you have a fountian in your pond to keep the surface of the water moving to deter mosquitos from laying eggs.

Shade over your Koi pond will help a lot with the algae growth, along with keeping grass from blowing into the pond while mowing. Just a FYI , if you dont know, on moving fish from container to pond and back make sure temp is the same in both bodies of water, so that fish aren't stressed and die, from temp change ❤

Re: pond algae, you can either dye the water (with fish and other animal safe dye!) to slightly darken the water, or put up shade cloth - both will block out some sunshine and seriously slow down algae growth! But because you live in an area with a hard freeze, you can also plant fast growing things like water hyacinth (invasive in areas without a hard winter freeze) that will eat up all the nutrients. And it’s kind of too late now, but for anyone else - wash those rocks before you put them in your pond! You never know what chemicals or oils have gotten on them, and it will reduce how much they dirty your water. And re: the lawn, you seem like the type that might enjoy a bit of clover or native ground covers! They’re often softer to walk barefoot on, typically require less water (so no patchiness from dry spells), and most are low to no mow! A favorite very low ground cover is Corsican mint, which smells delicious with every step. Ground cover chamomile is also delightful, but may need mowing. And micro clover is a great one that stands up to foot traffic while providing flowers for pollinators! You can even just do it patch by patch in areas the grass isn’t doing so well until you find a ground cover you like. I’m an anti-grass proselytizer due to allergies and growing up in a place where everyone had to water their lawns to keep them alive despite near constant drought.

Adding plants and some floating plants into the pond will help with algae :) trees and shade providing plants around it will help. There are also other fish and animals you can add that will eat it right up! Algae is just unsightly, it won’t actually hurt anything ❤

When I was young and moving into an upstairs apartment my brother and my husband got the couch stuck in the stairway so hard that they had to cut the back with a saw and bend it. The funny part was then they took it up and set it in my living room like I wouldn't notice that it had been sawed in half. Thanks for the laugh and the memories. Yesterday we celebrated 50 years from the day we had our first date in 1973.

It's so cool that when Hannah wants something or needs something done, she builds it! No nagging, no whining, just good old-fashioned productivity and ingenuity. Another awesome video 🥰💕Well done, Hannah!

Love it! Now just put clear plexiglass on top of the lattice roof to direct rain water from the wood and to stop the bugs from coming through the lattice and then add mosquito netting on the sides to help prevent you from being eaten alive by the bugs and plant some plants that repeal the bugs so you can actually enjoy being outside on the patio. If you mount brackets on the inside of the wooden frame you can put the mosquito netting on rods which would allow you to open the netting and tie it back when it isn't needed. I hope you have fun with your friends.

Loving that idea!

Hello Hannah, As a lifelong DIYer I totally compliment your fantastic work for both design and craftsmanship. Your pergola looks fantastic... like something from the cover of a magazine. The detailing you did on your bedroom was also a wonderful and clever addition. I am impressed. Blessings be with ye!!

Hannah if you create shade for your koi pond it will slow the algae bloom... the sun promotes the algae bloom. Our Koi pond was always in full shade and stays clear. But of course we always clean the pump and dipped the leaves out but never emptied it and scrumbed it because it removes so much of the good algae for a healthy pond and it takes so long for it to recover the healthy algae... don't clean the pond out so often. just give it more shade and let it acclimate the cloudy algea will die but it has to go through that stage ... some people just use that "pond clear" stuff but we let it do it naturally it makes a healthier pond.... 😉🤗 a pond is completely different than an aquarium.

I suggest getting a thermacell to deter misquitos in small spaces outside! Saved my vacation in Florida

I have been silently critical of your process in the past. That changed with this video. Deciding to dissassemble the sofa to get it up the stair was genius. And then the way you worked out how to put together that pergola - SOLO - very impressive. Nice job.

I haven't finished the video but I just want to say I love the addition of the molly cam.

Plant every kind of mint and lavender you can get your hands on around your property. Harvest often because it will spread, but your place will smell amazing and the squitos hate it! With the trees, tall grasses and water, you have the perfect environment. I also read pure eucalyptus oil is good and repels them even better than sprays. Great job!!

I've unfortunately had to deal with various types of bugs at a few different homes the past few years - mosquitos being one. I've used a cedar-based yard spray that really seems to help (you can spray decks, your house, etc. as well) - I use Cedarcide brand. They also have people and pet sprays that work nicely! And just like everyone else here, I'm SO inspired by your channel. I'm 43, starting life anew in many ways, and watching you makes me feel like maybe I can do anything after all. Thank you :)

The birds in the background are so beautiful!

My parents have a leaf grinder and we pile them up until my mom does her garden. She lets the plants grown up a little and then mulches leaves around them. That way she doesn't have to weed and the ground stays wetter longer her garden used to be sandy but between the leaves and a truckload of cow plop every year it is pretty awesome. My dad took some old water heaters from the house and cut them in half and built some wooden stands. She put her smaller plants in them this year as an experiment. They worked just fine. She was recovering from back surgery so didn't plant her regular gas den this year at all first time since around 1974 she didn't have a full garden at any house. The best garden we had was when I was in high school. We turned the old barnyard into a full garden. The farmhouse was over one hundred years old and had cattle in it the entire time. Before the house they lived in a log cabin. The barn was featured in a book. It was built without nails except for the siding and roof they used huge wooden pegs. The loft above the milking area was where they kept loose hay with birch bark trees as the loft floor. They just pushed the trees aside to drop hay down to feed. I spent a summer cutting the trees up for firewood after my brother went up there and fell through the logs and broke his leg.

Couch upstairs...pivot,pivot, pivot !!!!!!

In Scotland we have the dreaded Scottish midge and they’re horrendous, my family use olbas oil which is basically a concentrated eucalyptus oil. Works great, and definitely less chemicals than bug spray. Please give it a try ❤ xxx

The fact that you built that pergola yourself is beyond impressive. I would have struggled to get just one of those posts up by myself.

doing home projects to the Mamma Mia soundtrack is a whole vibe... also you sing so well

FYI - If you want a solid tie off or connection point on any tarp or material you don't have to cut holes or install grommets. Anywhere on the material push a small rock (or anything) into the material and from the OTHER SIDE loop and tie a rope/string around the base of the rock effectively tying the rock into the material. If you want a tie off point then use a long rope for the loop/tie line or if you want to connect two materials together just push the rock into both overlapping materials and use a short rope/string to tie the rock in. This crumples the material a little bit but it is much stronger than cutting any hole and you can put them anywhere on the material, not just at the edge. Don't know if this would help with what you were doing there but if you know this method you will use it many times throughout your life and even reconsider how to effectively use tarps. Actually, this is much stronger than using the built in grommets so while camping or something you might want to do this instead of using the grommets. The larger the rock and line the more powerful the connection.

Pond looks great.

Bats as well.

Hey hun, at Lowe's they have these tablets I put in my Koi pond and they only kill mosquito's and their babies in the water. They don't hurt fish, tadpoles, turtles, etc....

Everytime you empty your pond and refill it you will have to go through green water again. You need to let it go through all the stages of green to become clear. One cleaniing at the beginning of the season is enough if at all and your fish will love the algae that grows on the sides. As long as you have fish and moving water the pond will not bring mosquitos so that's not a problem.

I love bats! Despite being bitten by a rabid one years ago and going through a harrowing cure, I still love them. And I love that you're making a relationship with the flying mice as well as the earth-bound ones. Great video. Awesome pergola. I think you've even inspired me to make the Asian inspired gateway I've been thinking about for YEARS! "It should only take a couple hours." Your industriousness is infectious.

It was fun to see you and Molly working on your projects! You both are amazingly skilled. Love the updates to your beautiful country home. 💜
