I Bought a Homestead!!!! And I Should Have Looked Closer... OOPS! 

Maybe make the addition an outdoor kitchen and curing/drying area for onions, garlic,squash, herbs, etc. Congrats!

At 14:16 there is a hornet's nest hanging in the chicken coop. Take care of that thing ASAP before anything else. Snow and freezing cold is your friend when it comes to tearing down hornet and wasp nests. Usually you do not even need any sprays --just knock them down with a broom handle. (Maybe stand back and tap the hornet nest just to make sure it really is dormant though...) If you have not taken care of these already I would make this my top top priority while the temperatures are below freezing before it has a chance to start warming up. Congrats on the new home. I'm envious of the property and location close to the river. You have room for all sorts of gardening, homesteading, chickens, and other fun project adventures!

New sub. I bought a "glorified camper" that was in a similar situation. No trash, but in need of massive updates and repairs that were hidden because they were still living it in when I bought it. I'll be following your journey and I'm sure I will learn a lot. You are also giving me the confidence to track my journey through RU-vid and show that things aren't always perfect starting out. Thanks!

Congrats!!!! Now the real work begins.

Love the river!!! So exciting!

You definitely got your work cut out for you, but glad to see you in high spirits. Congratulations!

Good for you!! You live on a river! You'll fix that place up in no time! Congratulations 😊

This is awesome!!! I know it’s going to come out awesome!!! Life is too expensive now, it’s better to buy bad make it your own!!! It’s awesome! I wish I had land and a home to fix up, I’d add a rescue, farm animals, a garden and grow my own food. I wish you the best!!!!

As a realtor I am slightly embarrassed I didn't catch this! 🤣🤣🤣

God is blessing you in so many ways. You are so blessed!

Lots of work ahead...excited to follow the journey!!!💃💃💃

those logs could be worth some money to help with your renos. you have a nice blank slate to work with. lots of work ahead of you looking forward to seeing your progress in a year or two. ill be watching

You will love HiSea boots! Good for you Dani!

I love that you have access to the plumbing and that it’s indoors. Our plumbing is under our trailer and is veryy old. We’ve had 5 hot water leaks. Two were during the winter and three in the summer. I thinks it’s great that you can see it

So excited for you.its going to be charming when you're finished.

CONGRATULATIONS! Some work BUT it will be fun to make it on your own! So very happy for you! 🤓

i do enjoy your gardening and now i think i'm going to really enjoy watching your next videos and the progress you make on your new home. glad you were able to rescue the place. blessings and such for this new adventure in your life. later . . .

Love that river you have right behind your house!!!! 😍

Congratulations Dani!!! 😊🎉❤

You did it!!! Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!

Congrats! We are also 20 min ish from Concord. You may want to look into a woodstove instead of pellet unless you plan on getting a generator! We lose power A LOT and the wood stove has been a life saver!

Fantastic News! Congratulations! Looks like a nice piece of land. I think you will be able to do so much with that! So Happy for you:)

So very cool! As the saying goes...It's going to get worse before it gets better. There is soooo much potential, and I can't wait to see what you accomplish!

WOW!!! that looks better already. SOOOO happy for you!!! YAY

It's ok, you can do it, just one piece at a time, as soon as you clean it up then you can see where to start, fantastic xo

G'day Dani. It is so awesome to hear you say "This is mine" when walking around. Good on you! Great news on the plumbing and wiring. You must have been so excited when he looked and confirmed it all for you. Congrats Dani. I am truly so happy for you. Daz.

CONGRATULATIONS Dani! One day at a time... one step at a time... still praying for you! You can do this! Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛💕

Oh my goodness...you need to be wearing gloves for sure. Those wasp nests are nasty! So exciting to find all the little things to fix!

I’m so excited to follow you on this journey!

Ahhhh sooo excited for you!!! I can't wait to see all that you do to it to transform it! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳

I just found your channel, I’m so excited for you!! Two acres of land is incredible!! I love the fact that you’re being thrifty and making do with what you have. I can’t wait to see what’s next!! Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congrats !!!!!! I'm so happy for you. It's so exciting to move to your own land. Woohoo!

Your excitement is contagious. Again, congratulations on your homestead!

New here! Congrats on your home! Two weeks from today will mark our 1 year at the 4 bedroom 1 bath livable fixer upper on 1/3rd acre sight unseen for $23,000 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We gave away most of our belongings and moved with our cat and dog 1800 miles away! Like yours our house was full of a lot of stuff! We still have stuff upstairs. Including an entire bedroom full of boxes we have not unboxed. We paid cash so we are debt free and mortgage free and I work as a substitute teacher to pay the bills. My husband is redoing a outbuilding into what he calls my she shed but I think of it more as a off grid cabin/small house! It is a home away from home if we lose power because of the woodstove we are putting in it! We are planting berries and raised beds along with compost boxes and we have our 5 hens and a rooster. We should be getting eggs anytime now! After the cabin is done we will enclose the back porch deck with windows so we can grow hopefully all winter long! And we will be setting up water catchment systems on the porch the shop and the cabin. After that project we are renovating another mini shed and turning it into a mini barn to house the chickens, goats, and rabbits! Hens for eggs, roosters for eating (you only need one), Goats for dairy and the babies to sell or barter with, and rabbits for food because they are just a really low cost form of meat! Our goal is to be almost completely self sustainable! We do not have water on our property but the lake is only 2 miles away and we have our fishing license as well for food also. We also only have 2 close neighbors and it is very rural. We love the quiet!

I bought a place like this in southern Oregon in 2015 for 97k A run down 3 bed 2 bath on a couple acres. I had to remove the squatters that had been there for about 4 years living with no water or power. It was a wreck and everyone questioned my sanity. I gutted it and did the interior remodel myself with the help of RU-vid videos. Much elbow grease and hard work my home is now a show piece worth over 570k…. I’m excited for you!!!!!

Congrats Danielle! So happy you finally have a home of your own!

We decided to move to the Cape after considering New Hampshire because we just cannot take all that snow! Congratulations! So excited for you!

What an undertaking! Good for you to know you can tackle it!

Your mobile home has good bones so it’s all doable. I sell Mobile Homes. Great purchase and property!!!

So excited for you. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

Wow, Dani, that looks like a huge job! But, the land looks great, and everything at least looks fixable. Congratulations!

I found you! You've got this!

The boots are great! They sent me some last year and mine are still going strong!!

I first saw you on the Breaking New Roots & luved your energy & how you over came the harsh obstacles in your life. So I came here & subscribed. This is the 1st video I'm watching on your channel and I'm barely 1/2 way thru and experiencing a terrible bout of "motion sickness" bcos you're spinning the camera around, back & forth at such a fast speed. I hate vomiting. I don't know if I can finish watching this video. I'll have to use the mini screen & pointer to see how this video ends. I hope in your future videos you keep in mind that there are "millions" of people who suffer from "motion sickness" and that you try to avoid moving the camera around so much, otherwise I will have to unsubscribe. Your a very "bright & intelligent" young lady. I would luv to follow your journey. You are an inspiration to all. God Bless You & your children & keep you all healthy and safe. I'm a senior woman & yesterday was my birthday. I'm officially 73 yrs old. I live in Toronto, Canada. I wish you all the Best that life has to offer. Nice meeting you.

I just found you channel on TikTok and here on RU-vid. I don't knownyou but I am so excited for you!

Congrats! Our purchase is a total gut too!

Great company for sending you boots,I hope other companies help you out too.🇨🇦

With all of that wood and the extreme cold, I would buy a power saw and a wood stove unless you are getting a generator. VA is no nearly so cold, but the stove was a God Send!!!

Congratulations! Your first house! So excited for you. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your new place.

Wow what a project! Look forward to seeing progress. Congratulations and good luck!

Looks like a lot of projects to come! Congratulations on the new place!

Congratulations on the new home 1st video! I can't wait to see what you do with it!

I can't wait to see the process!

I'm so happy for you ❤

Yay! Congrats! I'm so excited for you. The river is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the property. And what a blessing that all the plumbing and wiring is still there!!!

That sticker is a good omen! ❤

Congratulations!

You will LOVE those Hisea boots!

Those barking dogs would drive me nuts!

I can’t wait to see how you fix it up so happy for you

Gloves sister...get some gloves. Congrats on your homestead!

Freaking awesome place.. love your river front…. I have a farm in Texas, I have a small 4.5 acre lake.. I hope your neighbors dogs get used to you soon and quit barking

Many blessings to you and your family!! Excited to see what your journey brings!!

New follower!! Can’t wait to see the outcome ❤️

The river will be a huge resource.

May not flood much next to the river, since I didn't see any trash hanging on the brush. You did great! But you got a lot ifxworkvahead of you.

Cool

Wear a dust mask when cleaning / working at first, dust and animal droppings etc.

I'm So proud for you! What a milestone you've achieved and a positive step forward into the future.

God bless you in this .

Congratulations I'm in NH too

Those boots are called “High Sea” Like you can walk in high water in your boots not “High See A”.

Just started following you, can’t wait to catch up on all your videos and then follow your journey. Best wishes!! In these times, a homestead is the way to go!!!

So much potential! New subscriber🥰

❤❤❤

Can’t wait to watch your journey

Use the addition as a goat barn/farm-garden storage etc. Put a tarp on the roof for now and you don't have to build a new building.

hay this place has great possiblitys i help clean places like this im in vermont id love to help you out

Hopefully you have no problems with leaking roof

Plumbing on the ceiling that's a first. I can understand it won't freeze up inside if the heats on. Maybe thats what they were thinking? Any hoot doing pex piping with shark bite connectors is easy and dirt cheap. I wish I lived closer i'd have that gutted in 2 weeks.

Before getting goats, check out poisonous plants. Lilacs can kill goats. Stone fruit trees pose a problem too. Just do your homework. Don't worry about the river area. Goats don't like getting wet, so when it floods they will avoid that area. Now predators can still be an issue so that needs to be planned for.

Came over from Yogi Hollow and checked you out, very nice indeed. I just subscribed.

New sub! So excited for you.

I'm so jealous! Lcngrsgsjlatilns on your new land =) my grandparents lived on a ricer it was always fascinating as a kid how much the river went up and down

What is the required set back from the river that you need to have for your livestock?

My mother in law has those white ducks with blue ribbon around their neck all in her kitchen lol their cute but to many ducks

Haul that trailer out and get a good used one.

I think the roof has some leaks.

No pellet please always wood. Trust me you lose power and no heat. In Northern California the first thing I did was swapped out my pellet for wood

I would diffently redo my electrical

Boy, did you look out on the property and that trailer is a plot I don’t care with any of these haters about the saying I live up north that is steel and that trailer can be fixed. Stop and even rent it when you’re done with that somebody will rent that you can get 1000 bucks a month for that easy.

I live in the uk and I have no idea about the value of the US housing market but just purely for the the beautiful land you have and privacy and space for 50k you have an absolute bargain ,I'm moving lol

Dani Plumbing problems? k... wating.

Don't throw away furniture that can be upcycled. Cleaned, sanded, and paint will make it like new. And PLEASE wear gloves and a dust mask.

What type of dog is barking?..,do you have blue berries?

*꧁ Não cave 🎀 ꧂*

You’ll never have any peace with the dog always barking in the background

I just emailed you but it came back saying unable to send ? do you have another email ?

Congratulations 🎉
