We are a military family that just moved onto our new Florida homestead. We have been fixing up our neglected new home and starting everything else from scratch, including building a chicken coops, rabbit hutches, raised garden beds, animal pens, and so much more!
Join us on our journey where you will learn gardening tips and tricks, "how to" builds, food recipes, learning about various animals and much more as you come along with us.
You are never too old to learn something new!

Homestead at a public park??? Fantastic!
My house stinks like urine too. I just got rid of tenants to move back in to my house. Ughhhhh now that im here, i gotta get rid of the smell!!!😢
Which Kilz exactly worked for you?
I'd had to spray it with a urine remover enzyme to at least break up some of the ammonia a couple times ans let it dried completely before putting kilz on it. Just covering it up only seems gross.
Good info & fantastic guitar 🎸 music 🤩👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Thanks for broom trick
Hey Mel, I hope you and your family are doing well well. God bless you all.
I want to say ty. I had a smaller DIY. Watching this helped me tons.😊 The right killz, eliminates the animal odor that we all know happens. I wish you the best in life friend. Be well and take care.
First time seeing one of your videos. You are such a beautiful soul. I thank God for people like you. Great job my friend 🧡
So I did mine the wrong way. No tape, just mud. It worked, but could have been smoother. It is holding up though.
*THANK YOU* *I NEEDED A REFERENCE AND YOU DID IT* U R *AWESOME* *CATER*
Merry Christmas to you and your family Mel. God loves you all. Jesus loves you all and died for you all. God bless you all always. 🎄🎄🎄
nice, thank you as I purchased a house with cat urine. Just painted what I call the cat closet. Maybe soon I can use it for clothes. Thanks for sharing
Where do you get the door from?
You didn't dry the carrots before freezing them?
I didnt blanch my sliced carrots before I froze them yesterday! Can I still blanch them after I froze them? 😖 About 25 cups! Omg
Very helpful. Thank you for the video 👑
Is this florida?
Yes, it is Florida, but I am not sure if she and her family are still living there or not. I really enjoyed her videos but it’s been a few years since she posted. I hope that all is well with her and her family and that one day she will be able to post videos again. God loves you. Jesus loves you and died for you. God bless you always.
Hey Mel I hope you and your family are doing well. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. May God bless you all. If you are wondering who I am, you know me as “mary cody”, but my real name is Leah. I hope you have a fantastic day.
Territors poop and pee inside the air duct system as well. This looks like a trailer so I guarantee those pooping pee inside the stove inside the fridge and the water heater area in the furnace area. Probably inside the bathrooms under the cabinets as well. That poop and pee will be under all the cabinets. And the kitchen, not just the ones under the sink. It's gonna be bad. I know because I am dealing with this exact same Thing. every bathroom, they all smell like urine.
Protip, you're supposed to actually get the dropping's damp with the bleach first before you vacuum it up. So you don't get airborne poop particles because you can breathe that in and get sick. So you dampen the droppings with bleach. And they say you're not even supposed to vacuum it. You're supposed to pick it up with paper towels or something.
This video is EXACTLY what I NEEDED… THank you soooooo much!!! I’ve subscribed.. I’m working on a fixer upper
Hey I plan on doing this same thing in my home. There are some strips in the corners like 1:26, but instead of a filled corner it is exposed where the two walls are supposed to meet, you can see the gypsum underneah. How would you reccomend I fill these? mud? Caulk? If mud would I put tape on? it seems a large area so I am concerned it would crack
Wow u go woman . I have done back door on double wide years ago . Here I am at 56 years on my own a woman myself and needing to do it again on 2008 double wide I just bought . Thanks for your video was helpful .
Where do you women buy your doors?
My subfloor floors are wrecked from previous owners pets It’s a risk doing the paint cover up bc the small Might linger
Wait one says not to use salt?
This was so refreshing to watch... so calm and informative... of course I had to subscribe
I just spent 2 hours using this formula. Let's see what happens in a couple of days. Thanks.
Last year I roasted my first butternut and a sweet caramel like substance oozed out from it during the roasting process, this, combined with it's deep dark orange and luscious flesh, made me decide to save the seeds and grow my own, which is why I am watching this vid, for tips on growing! I love my sugar pumpkins and pumpkins in general but the butternut is next level in the food realm. I currently have two on the vine.
Has anyone done this with the KILZ? My son let his puppy piss all over his room, not telling me about it and I had to rip the entire carpet out. I was thinking I had to now replace the whole subfloor. It would be great if I could get away just doing this
I used kilz, but it has to be the oil based one, not water based. Water based will just let the stains and smell leech through, but the oil blocks them. Good luck 😊.
I'm getting ready to paint floors. The kikz I'm seeing for blocking pet stains and odors is latex. Is there a reason you went with oil based?
I accidentally used the water based one first. Within 24 hours, the smell was leeching through and leaving stains that soaked through the primer. It was horrible. With one coat of oil based primer, the smell and stains were gone for good. I had a year in between painting the floor and laying flooring over top. They never came back.
@@asliceofheavenhomestead3559 good to know. Thank you!
No problem. Good luck on your project!
Hey Mel, I hope you and your family are well. Wow, it’s been 2 years since you posted your last video. That is kinda unbelievable. Where does time go? I hope you are enjoying your summer. Remember, God loves you and your family. Jesus loves you and your family and died for you all. May God continue to bless you all.
why didn't u just take door out then you'd only have th frame to deal with it would b lighter by its self. just saying
Honestly, it was my first time doing it, and there weren't any other videos for a manufactured home door. I wouldn't do it differently though. I wanted to make sure that the frame and door stayed aligned. If I took out the door while I was putting up the frame, I fear it may have warped and I would have a bigger mess to deal with once the frame was stuck to the wall. Yes, the for was heavy, but I could manage it by myself 😏.
I wonder how I will manage such amazing and giving plant. I will take care of it and use the space I have to give it a nice life.
To get the most fruit out of butternut squash, it’s best to grow them on the ground, and let each leaf node touch the soil so they can send down roots at every leaf node, this allows the plant to secure itself against wind and storms, as well as bring in more nutrients and water.
I agree, but while growing these, I didn't have land to grow them in. I was very restricted in the apartment that we rented, and so I had to grow them in a pot. It is a good alternative for people who have to grow vertically 😏.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
Im definitely trying this when we got my inlaws house its been empty for 3 yrs and critters have gotten in im sure cats were there too and we really dont wanna replace the sub floor in the living room because we have to redo most of the rest of the rooms Bec there are holes and the big room was a garage converted so its concrete so alot of money going into floors already 😂so wish me luck cuz im going to need it bad. And i want this house to be our home its a great area(in the country) with a big already fenced yard(we have 3 kids and 2 dogs) and by a lake.
Wow! It sounds like you will have quite a project coming up. Good luck 😁. I'm sure you will do an awesome job!
Excellent…
Will this solution also kill off poison Ivy just as effectively as other weeds? Thanks
That's a good question. I've never come across poison ivy to try it out, but it is worth a shot!
Very informative. Enjoyed Demonstration. Will use around my out of control lawn. Thank you
Thank you for the great video! Growing in NC. The trellis and pollination was very helpful. Love making butternut squash bisque. There are a lot of good recipes on the internet for that, but I like using ginger, garlic and nutmeg with creme.
I'm glad this video helped 😁. That bisque sounds delicious! I'll have to try it out. Good luck with your garden ❤️.
How long til it last?
It depends on how strong the grass is. Young, thin grease will die and stay gone until new grass grows it's way over. Big grass clumps have strong roots and you may need to pull those, or they will start growing back within a week or two.
Enjoyed the video, I'm growing it for the firs time. I hope they do well. Thanks for all the tips. A new friend here from Florida.
Hey Mel, I just want to wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day. I hope you have an amazing day. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Thank you Mary Cody ❤️! I hope you have a blessed mothers day as well.
@@asliceofheavenhomestead3559 Thank You. ❤️❤️
yeah I couldn't get 1.5 lbs of salt to dissolve in 32 oz of hot water. Wrong salt, wrong water?
If you are using 1.5 pounds of salt, you would dissolve it in 64oz of water and 64oz of vinegar. It will dissolve then 😉.
Thank you! 🙏 🥰👩🏾🦲😍
I Love Your Videos...Why haven't made any more?? I hope all is well......🙏🏾
Thank you so much! We had some military stuff going on and videos were more stress than I wanted. I do hope to make more in the future though!
@@asliceofheavenhomestead3559 thanks for the Reply Back... I'm Happy You Guys Are Well and When you get up to making more videos I'll get a notification...Stay Blessed Beautiful Lady ..🙏🏾
Thank you for that encouragement 😍! Blessings to you too.
I’m so happy for you and thank you for this video! Very helpful! ❤️
Thank you for your kind words 😁. I'm so glad that you found the video helpful. Good luck with your project!
On that storm door was there three screws on each side that hold the storm door to the jamb
Good question. I don't know if it came with those screws, but I did put some longer screws into it too secure it to the frame.
@@asliceofheavenhomestead3559oh ok what size screws did you use
About 2 inches. They don't have to be super long. Just make sure they are long enough to go through the frame and still have at least 1 inch to go into the jam.
Hey Mel, it’s been a while since I hollered at ya. I hope you and your family are well and I hope God is blessing you and your family. And I hope you all have a happy and blessed Spring. ❤️❤️
Thank you Mary Cody ❤️. We are all well. God has put us on a path where we are moving again(with the military). Life is full of twists and turns that we don't always see coming! But in all things, God is good!!
@@asliceofheavenhomestead3559 oh Mel, I know how excited you were to be back in the states and to start a life in Florida. But as long as you follow the path that God has laid for you and your family, you can’t go wrong. God’s blessings on you and your family Mel. And when it’s time, may God put you in a place where you can have your earthly forever home. I want to thank your husband for his service and I want to thank you and your kids for all the sacrifices you all have made in order for your husband to serve his country. Thank you all so very much. I hope I can continue to check in with you here on youtube from time to time just to see how you all are doing. I hope you all have an easy move and transition. Again, God’s blessings on you all. ❤️❤️❤️
