Well I guess the horse shoe did bring you good luck 😂😂😂.

The best part of them basically tearing up your backyard is now the dirt is turned so it would make it easier to start a garden if you want

*finds horseshoe* Ariel: this is supposed to bring luck, I guess? *finds dreamsink secondhand* I guess that worked out well?

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!

Ariel: It would cost 4 grand, which - Ad: *pops up* Me: watches the full ad cause SUPPORT

Ariel: "I'm trying to stay positive 😂😂😂" I swear, you're queen of laughing through the tears

every time you post a house update i have to drop everything and watch. i'm so happy you found your dream sink!!

On the bright side, this issue came up now when you're still in early reno stages and didn't pop up after you started redoing the kitchen or landscaping outside. Definitely a bummer though! Sewer and outside underground problems with plumbing are nightmare problems.

Ariel, I think you should wash that horseshoe and put somewhere to display. It would be a great accessory for your house.

I love your sink too!! Pro tip - try heating up the caulk with a heat gun/hair dryer and using a stiff plastic scraper so you can keep alllll that gorgeous original enamel! Reno on sistah!

“Back before there were cars” Ahhh yess I read about the days horses used to exist

The explanation of the weather “but what does it feel like” lol so accurate

Did anyone else not know what a "hutch" was until she showed it? I was picturing a rabbit hutch 😂

I- I don’t even know how my brain works but I just glanced at this comment and read this as “Grand high witch” and assumed you were making a The Witches reference and tried to read your comment and could not understand a single thing you said... Why though

I found temperatures in NS feel colder as well, its a lot more humid, gets in your bones lol. My parents live out there and -10 there is a lot worse than -10 out west! Also pro tip: because of the way NS garbage works, people have such a hard time throwing anything other than the weekly garbage out so there are a lot of places with barns FULL of old antiques and furniture they couldn't throw out, if you are looking for other very specific old things, ask around, you just gotta make the right friends/find the right people lol We ended up finding a lot of cool items from some random persons grandma XD

Yes imagine if she put some landscaping 😮 that would have been so sad and expensive.

I've never heard a cabinet being called a hutch before. I thought you were getting rabbits at first 🤣 glad it's going well, good luck with the renovations

wipe down your hutch with van's beeswax and lavender furniture polish . Its a little pricy but worth it. We bought a house about 15 years ago, It was built in the 1950's needed a lot of work , It takes time , don't let it stress you out.

My family just bought a 100+ year old house and I totally understand the joy of finding exactly the piece that will fit in your house. I drove by a thrift shop a few weeks ago and saw a gorgeous hutch (maybe about twice as big as yours) in the front window and the price tag said $100. I was like, there's no way that price is right, I must have missed a zero, but no! $100! I don't know who in their right mind would ever sell and antique hutch like that for a price that low, but I certainly took advantage of it!

I love the vintage-style sink, it’ll look great once your kitchen is all done up and so lucky that you found it at a quarter of the price! 😁

I can't help but think that in 200 years this will be known as the house of the great Ariel Bissett

OH YES

“i really like my plumber” idk why that made me laugh

I find it so helpful that you mention prices on everything! I know we have this weird culture where we don't discuss money here in Canada, but it really helps me know how I'd have to budget and what to vaguely expect and what's reasonable if I ever had to do anything like this. (Fellow Canadian too, so for the first time in a video series I follow I actually understand the units being used

I'm so happy for you finding that sink!!! Looks like the horseshoe is working!!!

I love this series. There’s something especially exciting about seeing a woman take on major renovations that makes me motivated to learn more things myself. I mean, I know your family is with you, so you’re not literally doing this alone, but all the same, I love seeing your excitement and energy to get stuff done.

THE HORSESHOE BROUGHT THE SINK!!!!!! I'm just so excited for you omg

As work starts tomorrow on removing bees from our chimney, I definitely feel this - 'but the money could go on something I really want to do!' This is home-ownership: paying an extraordinary amount of money for something you can't see or touch, but if you don't spend it, you lose everything!

Yeah, keep in touch with that plumber. They clearly did good work, kept you involved and welcome, and gave you a good price on the work. That they put in that access port to let you easily snake the line out means they're taking good care of you as a client. They might have cut you a break on the scrap value of the line they pulled out of the dirt; it was probably cast iron. Plus lucky horseshoe! If they do this kind of work, consider having them back out to help with the standing water you have in your backyard.

I really appreciate this channel. A lot of people I follow end up making me feel bad because they kinda gloat without meaning it and even though they seem pretty authentic their community isn’t. This community and channel has been with me for YEARS now and it’s never let me down. You or the community have never let me down or made me feel bad about myself. Love you all!! And welcome if you are new to this whole community!

I wish I could post a picture in the comments... I have a coffee table I thrift flipped that I feel like you would adore. Last year my neighbors left this old steamer trunk out of the garbage so I took it and cleaned it and applied three coats of varnish to the entire thing... Then I found these small coffee table legs at home depot and stained them with ebony stain and anchored them to the trunk with 2x4's on the inside and it's truly the most beautiful thing I've ever made. I spent maybe $30 in materials and have this amazing hand made antique coffee table now

$1300? What a bargain! Glad you found a friendly plumber. The same sewer renovation in northern Mn would be $6000. You have bought peace of mind. Priceless. Love your sink!

A dish washer is so not needed! Ur laugh always makes me smile. It’s so real!

It's really a feeling of euphoria when you score a great deal. There's been a few times I've walked out of Value Village floating on air.

My grandmother had that sink w the drainboard and all. ❤️ Her faucets and spout were wall mounted (so cool) no soap dish. She had a swing-out can opener mounted on the upper cupboard to the left - there was a window at that sink. Aww, nostalgia.

Least it happened when things are going toward summer and hopefully getting warmer because it means you plant a whole bunch of things you like 💖

Thanks for coming back!!! Technical difficulties! 🙈

Congratulations on so much! Replacing pipes is just a part of home ownership, but that price is amazing! Our house was built in the 1970s and we are having pipe issues, so I’m impressed that pipe lasted fo so long. I hope you’re good luck (horseshoe luck) continues and you enjoy this journey!

I love the way you are so passionate about everything . This video put a big smile on my face, just the thing we need in these difficult times - thank you.

Seeing your progress throughout this house is so inspiring. I love all the unique aspects of the house as well as your excitement and joy while working on your precious baby! Congrats!

Thrifting is not only cheaper but also so much more sustainable

As a handyman myself, I really like it when my customers ask questions. First of all, I think it is important that home owners understand their homes. this can keep them from being scammed as well as simply increasing their knowledge of the world. and second, whatever repair I am doing, I have done hundreds of times and it can get boring... having a homeowner there to explain things to, helps me realize the importance of that individual job and thereby helps to remove that boredom. Arial, Thank you for the videos, after watching about ten of them, I finally subscribed. looking forward to the progress!

Do you dream about where or with who you will live? Every place I have ever lived, I have dreamed about first. Just be patient, it will eventually happen.

Painful as it is paying for renos, the best part is the peace of mind you experience knowing that things are updated and (hopefully) working properly, especially in older homes. Money well spent! :)

Love the chair and hutch ... I think you have an Old Soul ...Which is a very good thing

'A Christmas Story' is one of my favorite movies of all time! I met most of the cast a few weeks ago in Hammond, Indiana. Hammond is where the writer Jean Shepherd grew up!🎄🦵🏻🐰

I paused Emma as soon as I saw this was posted 😉 Thrifted purchases we truly love are just the best!

That would be my dream sink too. You got the deal of the year.

Running water and toilets that swallow are priceless. I could live in a shed if I had a toilet in it.

I was so invested in this that when you said it only cost 1300 I yelled Yay and weirded out the other people in my houseXD

Yes, we here in the US that use “antique furniture lingo” do call those old kitchen cabinets hutches. I am so happy you have gotten over your fear of antique furniture, it will look perfect in your beautiful old house renovated kitchen!

You saved exactly the amount of your dream couch?! The universe (and your plumber) clearly want you to get that green beauty 💚

That sink is also my favorite. Way to go!

Finding what you've been looking for is the best! Finding it at a bargain price is even better!

It's always tree roots! My brother lived in the Santa Cruz mountains in California where there are huge redwoods...every year, pipes blocked by roots! Now he doesn't have that problem, because the fires last year destroyed his home, it can always be worse than roots in the pipes! Good luck with the renovation, it is a journey for sure. You never know with a house, what you are going to find.

PUT THE HORSE SHOE ON THE WALL OVER THE FRONT DOOR! at least that's what my family does for good luck

In case you were unaware, if uppit decide to hang onto the horse shore and hang out on the wall, make sure you do it "upside down", so your luck doesn't run out. Love your sink! We had the same one at the restaurant we took over for a short while. Such a beauty. We love antiques.

Your sink is my Dream Sink too. I am so happy for you. Paint the underside a cool color even if it doesn’t show you will know it’s beautiful 😻

That sink is exactly the sink I would love to have in my house. I had one like it when I lived for a short time in a 1930s Sears kit house. They are wonderful, especially if you cook a lot. You can wash large pans and dishes so easy without the divider in the middle like most sinks have these days. And the drain boards on either side are so great!!!

I was ready to say having horseshoes are good luck and where I live we put them in the front yard lmaoo

How Exciting to find THAT SINK!!! And at a Great Price! Soooo Happy for You! Whoo-Hooo!

You are the perfect example of someone who is in the flow. The Universe really seems to provide when people are expressing their wishes very distinctively and are at the same time carrying the vibe of gratitude. I know that this was a year ago but I felt such happiness listening to you explaining how at first you got that horseshoe and then that dream sink of yours for only 250 dollars. That sink was literally meant for you and you only. Oh my gosh, this was so incredible. What a journey...

Thank you so much for doing this series! I'm living vicariously through you! My partner and I are hoping to get our own 'haunted' house to restore in the near future, and you've emboldened us both to try doing more things on our own than we thought would be possible. Even 'simple' things like when you talked about patching up 'Wilber.' Keep 'em coming! (I can also totally relate to your sink elation--the sink in our current flat is so godawful that I too have daydreamed of 'the perfect sink.')

arielll i need to do my science homework but i am not strong enough to resist a new house video

That horse shoe needs to go over the door!! I hope you found a lucky place for it in your home 😊

The moment I realized that is literally the same sink that is in the house I rent!! Absolutly love having this sink and I get her hype behind it!

I just watched this episode and, out of curiosity, searched "antique sink" on Facebook Marketplace in BC's Fraser Valley area and, lo and behold, the exact same sink popped up - listed today. I wish I had the house for it. It was priced at $350.00. I tell you, Marketplace has really come through for me this year as well. Love the pink floor!

I love this update, though it was long ago now. I love how your dreams have unfolded since this time. Best to you, Ariel!

I come back and rewatch these reno videos so often, I'm currently fixing up my first place too and you inspire me to continue to be enthusiastic about the projects even when I'm tired of having dust sheets all over my house 😂

I just love following your journey with the house adventure, these videos are unique and really fun to watch, I'm so glad you decided to share this with us.

The hutch is close to the age of your house. I LOVE IT. 20 years ago it would have been 4K. You did just fine.

Ariels laugh, I'm obsessed

When you mentioned that sink from the movie I knew exactly what you’re talking about!

Hi ariel!! That horseshoe really did bring you luck!! I'm trying to figure out some planning for redesigning my room and it has a tiny closet, and the way you redid your closet in the previous video is actually giving me some great ideas!

I love that sink, it was like the sink we had when I was a kid. Great find. Horseshoe luck!
