Stay at the Cottonwood Koti in beautiful Northern MN! airbnb.com/h/cottonwoodkoti
A year and a half worth of painstaking work dwindled down and compressed into mere minutes. It barely scratches the surface of the sheer magnitude this project entailed. The challenges, the mistakes, the tears, the changed plans, the stress and worry, but also the laughs, the lessons learned, the skills obtained and of course the satisfaction of finishing something so daunting..
We started renovating this home with 2 pairs of rose colored glasses, a tight budget, a scant collection of worn out tools, and a will strong enough to get us through the toughest times. Fear and worry were unwelcome but frequent guests throughout this project, but by the grace of God, one of us was always in a good enough head space to be able to see past the scary times and get the other back on track.
We're happy to have this project behind us and to be moving on to something that seems little more manageable!

Awe, thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate your kind words. It wouldn't have felt right to leave the prayer out. It's how we made it through to the other side of this project. ☺️ Thank you for watching! 🌲

@susansmith493 3 месяца назад

I'm so glad you kept the metal kitchen cabinets!!!! I have my great grandma's free standing metal pantry. After several semi successful tries myself ... I sent it to a car paint place. They dipped the entire thing and it went right down to the steel. Then they used several coats of car paint on it. It's an absolute thing of beauty!!!!!

@TheLiFeInPines 3 месяца назад

What a great idea! That would’ve cost if a small fortune for how many we had, I’m sure, but for one piece- absolutely! That piece will be in perfect shape for years and years to come! I bet it turned out beautifully!

Whoa, those were the most fried shingles ever!! When you were applying the caulk with your finger following the caulk tip...really neat, I have never seen anyone do that before. The bucket stilts were clever too! The floors are amazing. Stunning transformation you guys did on that whole house. I'm blown away.

@TheLiFeInPines 3 месяца назад

The shingles had to be defective! We’ve never seen any that bad either! Yes, that caulk trick is the best! If you wrap a baby wipe around your finger it’s even easier and cleaner! Haha oh the bucket stilts! Ted only went down on them twice- if you count the time shown in this video! 😂 Honestly the floors were probably one of the most rewarding projects we did! They were so hard but the end result was worth it! Thank you for watching! Ted and I have been following along and learning a lot from you guys as well. Keep up the great work!

What a powerful couple you are. To see you and your children work to transform this 100 yr old house into a home that will live on for another 100yrs was awesome. Restoring those wood floors to life and the kitchen cabinets to give it that retro / modern look was brilliant. I look forward to seeing you build that treehouse. You have that getter done work ethic that is fun to watch. TY for sharing the journey of this restoration. Go sit out on your marvelous deck and put your feet up. You deserve it after all this hard work! No doubt people will love staying in this for vacations. Best wishes and God bless from San Antonio, TX. 👍👍👍👍

@coloradobeevac9959 2 месяца назад

My wife and I laughed when we read your comment. We were both 70 when we started building our retirement home in the mountains. Have done most of the work ourselves with help from our retired carpenter neighbor. Two stories over our garage 1400 sq ft each level. Literally from digging the foundation, pouring cement, framing, roofing we did it all. Almost two years and we are not painting the interior. Hope to be have our C/O in another month or two. Grand kids love it!

Damn. Got this random recommendation and clicked on it. This is hella IMPRESSIVE!! Don’t know you or the story but damn. I watch many HomeDIY channels, they are all much bigger and get a lot of their work through hired help and sponsorships. A channel this size means there isn’t much for that, and the fact that you two plus your amazing kids did this by hand is WOW. Agreed with another comment here, this channel deserves more subs (and I’ve only watched ONE video rn ) 😊😊

It’s unfortunate that so little of the original home remained when you purchased it, but it’s good to see that you brought some of it back

@TheLiFeInPines 2 месяца назад

I know! That’s why when we first walked in- we didn’t even question that it was a 1950’s house. (That’s what we were told by the realtor) but when we started digging in- we quickly realized it was MUCH older! We saved as much as we could from the original house (which is actually 2 homes put together) but as you said- unfortunate that little remained.

Here for the first time and just subscribed. You two are adorable! I am so impressed with what you have done with that charming house that you made into a home. You made me cry! Why, I don't know. So glad you kept the kitchen cabinets and framed the newspaper and things you found when renovating. Part of the history of that house. You are amazing!! Looking forward to more adventures with you!❤

So glad you did not trash the metal cabinetry in the kitchen. I was afraid it was going straight to the landfill. I worked on a home from the 1900s for nine months and refinished the metal cabinetry with a galvanized polymer paint. Yes, it was time-consuming, but the results were incredible.

@TheLiFeInPines 18 дней назад

Wow, I bet your cabinets did turn out amazing with the galvanized polymer paint! Where was this info when we were looking it up before we started? Lol! We had a hard time finding anything on refinishing metal cabinets but they still turned out really great! Thanks for watching and we hope you have a great rest of your week! ☺️🌲

A dedicated follower, one of your cones dropping in to spend some time with my friends 🌲. Jenna, you did a wonderful job editing and assembling this video. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane and revisiting all your work and celebrating your successes along the way to completion. You, Ted, Finley and CJ learned so much in the process and I believe God used it to further strengthen not only your bond with Ted, but also you all as a family. He has his hand on you and has greatly blessed you. It was nice seeing Finley and CJ involved and also Cliffords supervision cameo 😉. You two did a fantastic job on the house and have much to be proud of. I'm looking forward to seeing you both using the skills developed and your obvious gift for design/decorating, in the raised tent addition to the property. Have a great week ahead and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Just found your channel tonight (danish time) on friday th.1.st. of march 2024. Your hard work was worth it: what a gorgeous home you created together. I was surprised to see that some of the newpaper bits, there are words in danish (where is says:" den 12 april 1894") and also on some of the pieces that you put in frames... So wonderful that you kept these parts from the past. And also the wooden wall you kept, the beautiful old wooden floors...and the kitchen cabinets! They look cool and cosy at the same time. And you take care of the soul of the house, by remaining some parts. Lovely video. Thank you so much for sharing. Lots of greetings from Camilla in Denmark.
