haven't shown you guys which is a pretty cool feature of our property I got a Blackberry Farm I don't have a license to turn this into a up pick thought about it but it's not yeah I don't think this C is going to let me so we're going to have to take these down todayy I just want tell you that it's not as Sun as the chainsaw no what if we try the hand Clippers I'm kind of curious to see if I can go really really fast with those like see I don't know if this is faster it's like more targeted which is really good but I don't know if it's faster honestly you just seen a bulldozer in here yeah that's what everyone's been recommending we just bulldoze the house H maybe that thing is pretty fast [Applause] [Music] all of my friends say girl you better take care cuz that man is best be it down I know I might be te thank goodness we caught this 4 months ago otherwise we would have been screwed and I don't even know why it's growing there's freaking rocks here now that you got me started I just can't stop no no cuz I love you Bab it's been a dream of mine to bushwack has it yeah you know what I have an idea what's your idea we should turn this into a rock climbing wall a rock climbing

you were going to talk about a wall Oh I thought I was going to talk about the wood teach me something so you may have noticed in some of our older videos that our ceiling is not the straightest and our roof is a bit crooked it's saggy yeah I talk a lot about load bearing stuff this thing's not doing so well look you can see the holes in it is this load bearing yep and it's got holes in it I don't know how you're going to fix this one cuz we're not taking the floor off above here you just you just use like a car jack you knock this one out quickly measure it quickly cut it then you quickly put a new one back in yeah like it's so bad that we actually have prickle bushes growing out of our house where you can see that there it's out of the house yeah I don't know if that's very good it's why you know the city is smart they don't allow you to have Blackberry Farms for that reason but yeah this is all like pretty scary like this glass is under a lot of tension the glass is practically holding the house together right [Music] now oh [Music] yeah I'm going to tell them a fun fact you guys want know a fun fact this is my pool right here there's a foundation wall that holds my pool from spilling over down the hill from the looks of it doesn't look like there's any cracks in the foundation but you never know my neighbor might have a pool [Music] soon 1 2 3 hey good job how at this [Music] one oh you okay hey my we wee it's kind of crazy how much Rock there is like this is so pretty we never even seen this before it's so so nice what are we going to use a space down here for though I mean the more and more we fix it and the more and more we clean it I realize how much space there is there's so much here but I just don't know what to do with it for someone that really tries to take care of their body I have been taking vitamins and supplements ever since I can remember which is why I am so excited to share with you guys today's sponsor which is care of if you guys have not heard of care before they curate vitamins specifically for yourself all you have to do is take a short quiz on their website and they will give you a list of vitamins that are curated for yourself based on your health goals and your lifestyle all their products are designed to work with research backed ingredients and ultimate doses but I got to say my favorite thing about care of is that they come individually packed for each day so you can take this on the go like say you go to an office bring this with your lunch kit and two of the vitamins that I have in my pack is iron and a probiotic personally I've been taking iron supplements ever since I was like 15 but the probiotic is one that I not very consistent with which is very helpful that it's in a pack here because it makes sure my gut flowing nicely so if you guys want to try out care of be sure to take the quiz down below and use my code Jenna p50 and if you use that code you guys will get 50% off your subscription in your first order so I don't know about you guys I have never experienced allergies I have been one of the fortunate ones that I can go outside no stuffy nose no itchy eyes no matter if it's just a rainstorm a pollen everywhere but unfortunately my partner over here I couldn't sleep last night so yeah if you see Nick in a mask all day today it's yeah he's just allergic to everything under the Sun but today we got oursel a bin so now we actually have to move all those big piles you know we did like 2 months ago now I'm trying to get it to 10 ft tall we got to move them into here so we just realized that the bin they dropped off isn't the right size is actually too small we wanted the big big boy and they just gave us like the big boy so [Music] [Music] there is a life Val in this city hry the cut my tea I can take what I need to get by doesn't make it easy the other piece of my heart will show somewhere in the greater moon when I return from the have to goow will you carry me like I am whole again wait hold on put me together take me back where I belong I want it all I had a feeling but the feeling is all gone put me together take me back where I belong I want it all I had a feeling but the feeling is all gone got to say their yard's a lot nicer than our yard so after like 45 hours we finally got our big bin the right size like look how big this bad boy is it's like two jennis this is one of the many piles of sticks we have on our property I say that again this is one of the many piles of sticks we have on our property look at that now this is a bin that looks pretty good okay how are we going to we need something to hold it yeah we need something to prop it also thank goodness this bin came when it did cuz we were dying back there we were why was it so [Music] difficult do you think it's a good idea had to put a whole tree in the [Music] bin it's kind of fun yeah honestly I like throwing sticks into a [Music] bin hey Nikki you got a fun fact for us oh I've got such a fun fact do you remember those carpenter ants that we saw in the house right there yeah oh my gosh is an ant problem I expected a lot of problems ants were not one of them well they actually live in tree stumps dead tree stumps so if you come here and you look really really close I hit this tree stump earlier but first of all we can see kind of where they made all their tunnels cuz this is really soft wood now if I dig my hand around in there can you see them you should be able to see oh I do see right there and right there and they just go deeper and deeper and some a little bit right there and there and that's just kind of where they live so once we get this stump out ideally there's no more Carpenter ends really yep oh my gosh [Music] there's also a tree here that we have to [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] carry I think that went right over so yesterday we came to the house and we did a little bit of gardening to the front yard and now we don't really have a front yard or technically we have a front yard it just doesn't look very nice anymore it looks like we DeForest it is that is that the term yeah which before you guys come at me and call me a tree hater that's not the case we actually need to get rid of this because one it was overgrown and two we actually need this gone in order to actually fix the house fix the roof so this is going to become a lumber yard yes it'll be a lumber yard and then after we'll make it into a beautiful garden you see this pile right here this needs to go sit in the bin also do you see this pile over here that one oh no that needs to go in the bin too that's a lot of stuff for the bin do you think it'll fit no do you want to say something cool show me what's cool are those new boots are you wearing new boots yeah I finally got steel toe boots when'd you buy those yesterday wow yeah they were brand new yesterday my neighbor called me out on it he's like are those new boots huh I was like yeah he's like I see you're finally protecting your feet now I was like yeah I had an explanation though I said they didn't have it in stock at the local store so I had to order online and it took a really long time yeah there's the story but steel toe boots uh I should get sponsored for a a matching pair you should otherwise we're not matching with the overalls I know can someone help [Music] ow I was going to swear there but I didn't I got to say this is one of the incidents that we made a mistake should I had a bin shouldn't have made a drywall room with this always need a bin what's the number one rule of construction get a bin I don't know why that's not taught in school get a bin wow what a beautiful wedding bouquet do you need a wedding bouquet for your upcoming wedding let me know I can make you one $9.99 [Music] these rocks look so pretty this looks really good just kind of stand on it I'd call that pretty good yeah gr more it [Music] [Music] [Music] that looks so good I think I just love seeing results like this like I genuinely don't think it looked this good for like the last 10,000 years and that's actually Rock under there so it's there's not supposed to be dirt there I think this is all just from these trees it's just all mulch but they're not looking too good no so we just had some pizza it was great thanks for asking I also wanted to show you guys some photos so when we went through the house I did keep a couple bins of just various objects or photos I actually have like a huge stack of photos so I pulled out some of the Landscaping photos of what it actually looked like back in the day because I want to show you guys what I'm trying to recreate and prove you guys I'm not just trying to Deforest everything on my property because it kind of looks like that and it makes me look bad I'm the instigator behind all this yeah you want to cut down everything but we will make it look nice we will make it look I get it we need it clean for us to fix the house but let me show you so this this is a photo I don't know how old it is it's probably from the ' 60s because it's on a square Polaroid that's pretty cool this is what it used to look like the back yard that would be really cool you can see that there wasn't that much yeah there's like those little shrubs and stuff there in that top left corner that looks phenomenal yeah okay so we see this photo so this is what I really like I want to recreate this but also you can see years later it got a little bushier I don't know when this is but it's got like a rectangle with soft Corners maybe the 80s but honestly this is too bushy for me I agree too much so I'm trying to go in between these two honestly just looks so freaking nice the pool looks gorgeous yeah so that's why I have to get rid of everything and then kind of replant it because they were just like so overgrown I might even have another photo to show I don't but I do have photos of what the patio used to look like wow see that we did show them the bench chairs right right they're right over there so yeah we still have the bench chairs I made sure we kept those and then this is what it looked like up close wow that looks awesome yeah it looks really good so I'm going to reso these and recreate this when you know it's time to actually do those type of DIYs but I just I just wanted to show you guys what I meant when I said I had to get rid of it and then redo it cuz it just got too overgrown that root is like huge yeah we can't have that does that look like that's in the original photo no the answer is no I want this it's so pretty with a little bit more Bush yeah see like look at this rock once we just power wash this bad boy it's going to be beautiful okay that's it for dreaming let's go do some work tarp round two yep you ready oh this this was a heavy boy heck yeah [Music] see I would really like just to move this over there if it was possible but I know it's not how we get it up there uh you can't yeah oh it's all ripping the [Music] tarp it's such a thin layer yeah and it's just held together by The Roots look at the Rock wow that's so pretty those roots are like a tripping Hazard look at that man they weren't lying when they said this home was built on a rock it is a rock underneath here you're like taking a big blanket and peeling it back wow that rock is so pretty this is my rock I really wish we had a power washer cuz then we could see this rock more [Music] nice oh yeah let me cut that one oh yeah trim it there heck yeah oh yeah heck yeah you want to go in the back now or do you want to continue in the front I don't okay okay the good news is that we're done pile one the bad news pile two and it's bigger than pile one is it I think so oh no to be honest this is really stinky oh there's peanuts more peanuts they had freaking peanuts honestly I think I just found the name of the house the peanut house I figured out the name for the house what's the name the peanut house the peanut house the peanut house why cuz we find peanuts everywhere oh no what what that's actually pretty good I found more peanuts in there how many more I well just one so far but it's the peanut house yeah do you like it cuz a peanut has two sections too do you like it let's see what the viewers think I like it see peanut peanut yeah house man everywhere those are not the ones I saw either those are two new ones stay there that's a slow [Music] compos oh like a Jack I just feel like we just moved it around it's like more flat now right it just flatter and bigger yeah it doesn't end it doesn't end so I thought when I got to the bottom of the pile it'd be rainbow and sunshine but it's not this is all dirt that's wet that's intertwined with roots so you can't shovel it you can't pick it up and it gets under your fingernails there's a tarp in here no way that did not farewell [Music] so I want to give you guys the full experience when you guys see this huge reveal because honestly I don't know I don't did I get it before uh maybe I don't know we can show the pictures before yeah I had some pictures but oh my goodness this looks amazing look at my backyard wow I'm just like speechless cuz I didn't realize we had this much space here because this was coverage you said I didn't even realize that this was was like covered with was it just dead trees and stuff yeah just dead trees and then we ended up opening up the cement here which is a really cool shape over here if you see it's kind of like zigzagged and it actually goes with the flow of the pool over here so much space pile two was pretty much this whole corner here she gone that's crazy it's so beautiful we don't have to change any of it nope it's got a clean it up a little bit pressure wash it and make it look nice yeah we put nice trees and plants everywhere here it'll be so pretty and then for the front let's keep expectations on the floor for this one wait do you want to clean it before
