Well, you two wonderful people have your work cut out for you, but I totally envy you! What a lovely adventure! I am 81, live in a condo, and no longer can no longer consider taking on such a project; therefore, I will enjoy the fruits of your labor virtually as you help this little gem of a house to go through its metamorphasis...BTW, I am the "maman" to the "poupée" that you sold me...she travels around my house, and you never know where she will show up ... she currently is lounging on the TV equipment in front of me! 😄

Welcome to Maine! We moved to the midcoast from Maryland almost 40 years ago and have never regretted it. It's a unique and special state for sure. Our house is about 180 years old now and we are only the 4th owners! It's challenging at times but so worth it. Having a reliable person to help is so amazing. Many of the contractors, plumbers, electricians here are so busy it can be hard to get work done. My husband plows snow in winter for 40 plus customers. We laugh about going from a shovel and progressing to a plow, same with our lawn mowers, heaters, generators, etc. Lol. As is happening everywhere, weather is changing and damaging storms are more frequent. A generator is a must these days!

We bought a property, 30 minutes from our current home, we turned it into a camping area, we have a bunkhouse, that we have been really working on the last 5 year's, we owned it now 20 year's this year, we have the Woodlands, and down the hill the Bay, it's the best of both worlds ❤😊

I have just bought an abandoned house too! Must-have it two weeks! It's a stone house with a river at the end of the garden going right across it very picturesque I have some work to do to it... But it's watertight!!!!

So happy for you! We live in Western Maine but I work for the state and am in Aroostook county all the time. No matter where you live in Maine there is beauty! Welcome home. We also bought an abandoned farm house on 20 acres. 30 years later… we are still working on it!

Oh my goodness! Can’t decide if I’m envious or… thinking you’re nuts. 🤭 But the journey will definitely be fun-both to watch and for you to undergo! And it’s fun to see how excited Jimmy is already.

Welcome to Northern Maine. We lived in Carlisle Pa for 30 plus years. We bought a small 1 room cabin in Island Falls Maine. We live in Maine now. Simple, quiet and woods surround us. It’s a beautiful place to live. Since living here we have added on many rooms. Best wishes to you all.

So happy for you all. The Ball jars are made in my state Indiana. The one with the wire bale takes a glass lid. The big one with the measurements is a newer jar. My best friend's mother was the operator at the Ball plant in the 60's.

Congratulations Jimmy, Dagny, Jenny and the fur babies. So happy for you all. Look forward to the progress and eventually starting your new adventure. Congratulations again.

OMG! What a fun adventure! You two are too cute! My husband and I would not survive such an adventure! Is it OK to live vicariously through your venture? Look forward to watching. This is stinking awesome!!!!

Congratulations! I love your excitement. You’re both beaming. Can’t wait to see your progress ❤️

I too moved years ago because where I grew up was getting so busy and overcrowded. Love the simple life I have now. It changes the outlook on life and yourself I think.

Welcome to Maine 😊 We live in Piscataquis County, moved here 12 years ago and absolutely love the peace and quiet 😊

If that front vestibule paneling is in good shape I’d keep it! Your stove is like the one I had in my first apartment! Many moons ago! It was gas - lived it! Also put down a vapor barrier on that dirt floor! Radon is a real thing!

i lived my whole life in PA except for the 8 years we bought a coastal house in Searsport, Maine. It is a wonderful place to live and we have wonderful memories of those years there. We moved back to PA when grandbabies were coming, etc. That looks like quite an adventure for your family.

You will make so many memories here. Can't wait to follow your journey. Happy thrifting. 😊

SO excited for you Dagny, Jimmy and Jenny!! My husband and I brought an old homestead house when we were in our 30's . (we are way older now) We had 3 small children and they have the best memories of that place. The house you brought looks way better than ours did. When we would run into a hard place working on it, we would just pray together and someone would show up to help us go a little further on. We are so thankful for those memories. God bless you in your new adventure! You will do great! 💓

Even when I was much younger, I had little interest in such huge diy projects as restoring an old house nor was I married to someone who had an interest or passion for such things. But because I was often fascinated by what goes into restoring old homes, though, I watched "This Old House" and then later other shows on HGTV for restoring/redoing/remodeling houses, both DIY & by professional contractors. I'm sure you already know what you're looking at....tons of work, lots of cash layout for supplies and not always a small amount of stress. But once it's done or you're well on your way...and if you're not trying to live in it while the work's being done, I'm sure it will be something you can be so proud of. I know I've sounded like a "Debbie Downer," but for those who are up for it, I'm sure it can be immensely satisfying. Best of luck to you both on this home restoring journey!

I am so jealous! I was born in Pennsylvania and I love it but was raised in florida along with my sister and two brothers. My grandparents started taking me to Maine when I was 11 and now I’m 78. Both my brothers have property in Maine now. My one brother lives full time and bought an old farmhouse with 115 acres and is in Patton. My other brother has a few acres on the coast and they just vacation there. Maine is my favorite state and I’m so excited for you and will enjoy watching your journey. I also love your thrifting videos. They are very relaxing and peaceful to watch! Bless you and your family!

Congrats Dagney, Jimmy, Jenny!! how exciting your new house in Maine!! If you didn't throw away the wall paper, Keep a small square of each to make small framed work as keeping the story of the house. I learned that from Benita Larson, she has a KZread channel and did that with an old house she bought in the country side. Would love to see the progress as it goes.

How cool!! My mom's family is from Maine. She and my grandmother grew up between Maine and Massachusetts. Also, one of my mom's oldest friends raised her family in Aroostook County. Some of the family lives closer to MA now, but they lived in Caribou for decades. One time we got lost going to their house and ended up at the Canadian border. My parents were like uh, I think we missed a turn somewhere... That was long before cell phones and GPS too. I can't wait to watch this series. I recently discovered and started watching a series from the KZreadr, Shannon Makes, who is Canadian and bought a house in Canada that they are rehabbing too. She's doing the same thing where they bought the house a while ago and is showing some of the back footage now after they've made significantly more progress. She is a circus performer and "maker," so they're doing everything on a limited budget and while she's not a reseller, she is an avid thrifter.
