I was so worried your content was going to go south with the addition of a dude. But I think we can all agree that everyone loves Matt. He’s a ridiculous golden retriever of a man and only adds to the amazingness of this channel.
Aw, in the summer you will be reminiscing about the ice-skating rink, the bonfires in the snow and the hot cups of cocoa. You make the most of each season! That's awesome!
Your roof needs to be insulated more than walls to keep the warm side warm and cold side cold. Also a vapour barrier to keep the heat from escaping. I live in Yukon. We get lots of snow lately. Winter always a struggle.
My father used to build us a skating rink every year. He found that building the ice in thin mist like layers made the ice solid with no air pockets and holes in it.
You had an amazing dad. I did too,but he was gone way too much. Mother was there,but she had ot of hidden pain. Seems nothingcould hide from me,but i tried to fix it and be a child,doesn't work well. But oh how i respect them,and havedeep lovefor them,always,and forever. They led us to Christ,and all 6 received SALVATION,Main thing! Forever Love,in Jesus name❤❤
I know I'm late but I just wanted to say that I have dealt with manic depression since I was thirteen and nothing has ever motivated me to get things done like your videos do. I am able to watch you and think to myself "let's just try to get one thing done like Hannah!" and it ends up letting me get way more done too. Anyways you're just such a lovely person and I so appreciate your videos. 🤍
Insulation. Lack of, and lack of ventilation along the underside of the roof. If the roof angle has been incorporated into the build, there will need to be better care of the shingles due to heat transfer through the roof. Snow can be an insulating blanket, but if there is a heat transfer to that snow, it will melt. She's learning the hard way, but so did I.
It’s definitely insulation! I haven’t had time to get to roofing since moving in (I’ve only lived here a year!) but I plan to prioritize it this summer 😊♥️
@@hannahleeduggan I lived in S Lake Tahoe for almost 20 years, girl when I found Heat Tape for my roof/gutter edges……. Saved Me form hours of roof cleaning and no more fear of ice cycles forming damaging the roof. Doesn’t use much electricity either and I bet they have improved a ton since back then it was in 1980-1990’s.😂😂😂🤦♀️🤪🤓
@@hannahleeduggan you go girl! your videos bring me such a peace and warmth. Don't ever stop sharing your wonderful life and sharing the beautiful adventures. its a blessing that i came across your videos a year ago.
Where do I find a man to yell “you look beautiful babe” at me while I’m shoveling snow and ice off my roof?! Hannah you are setting seriously high expectations for my life that idk if I can achieve 😭
Also lesson for ice rink. Build the ice in layers a couple of mm a time and it should stop the air pockets which cause it to collapse. Get yourself a mini gas powered snow blower as well as it would make life a lot easier making snow paths etc.
The amount of time you spend outside in the cold wet snow opens my eyes to the possibilities of enjoying winter fully. You inspire me to seek fulfillment in all of the seasons 🥲
Hannah i just want you to know that i have been following you for a long time and I just love you your a beautiful soul inside and out and you have made me look at life differently. Honestly you have helped me come out of my deep depression, so I really hope you get the chance you read this and know you have helped me and i'm positive so many others!!! Keep being amazing beautiful and full of life!! Your a ray of sunshine in this dark world!!
This is the first video that made me smile since russian troops invaded my country. Watching you living your beautiful peaceful life reminded that we’ll have that back again very soon. Thank you.
Stay safe, Olenka! and if you can't stay safe, stay strong. The whole world is standing beside you. I have a Russian ex-husband and his entire family/community were insane, selfish bullies that couldn't be trusted. I'm housebound now, but if there's anything I can ever do from here just ask. 💙💛
As a Minnesotan who lived way too many years battling ice dams, they are crazy hard to deal with. One particular winter, we went away for a week and came back to ice dam hell. I filled panty hose with salt melt and laid them over the dams to create a channel to let the water drain off. And it worked but not before the water did go up under the shingles and we got water in the house. They are a frigging nightmare. Good luck and keep up with the raking. And definitely get some insulation. ❤️
Glad to know I’m not alone 😭 plan is to fix up the roof this summer and get those heat cords placed along the edges so I don’t have to worry about it next year!
I keep forgetting how long winter last in your area, here in Florida it’s hot and sunny all year long except for hurricane season. I would love to live in your area for about a month. Having said that your property and cabin is gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you once again for another great video and I am so glad to see you again. It was so good to see Molly and Matt and very happy you are coming to,Florida to get room.
Kudos to Matt's dedication to learning to spin and Hannah your as always amazing sparkle of life, fortitude and take action fearless attitude, yes its amazing how you saw it through to build the ice rink, keep realizing your dreams and being you
@@judyrau5309 He said he needs storage and work space. It appears that’s how he’s working out being close to her since he still has his own career and belongings to deal with in his previous place. I think some independence is healthy and agree that he’s a big cutie pie, especially personality wise. Everyone is very protective of Hannah and that’s sweet, but it must be like dating a girl with a thousand dads for Matt 😆
I used to be a competitive figure skater for 15 years, haven’t been on the ice in 2 years now. Watching you two have fun while skating brought back a lot of fun memories. I’ll have to find time to get out again!
You can get heated wires for the ends of your roof so you won’t get ice dams! Definitely a good investment if you get bad winters or a lot of snow constantly
I agree with you...but, curious as why they chose to go that route? OF COURSE, it’s none of my business... I just wish them the best whether it is in the recent relationship status or something different...💕💕❄️❄️💕💕
@@maconmccoy probably because they’re fairly new. He lives many hours away (at least, I think that’s what she said) so I think buying property closer to her is already a big commitment.
So much respect for people who live in snow. In CA you don’t think about bringing in he hose for winter or all the other things to survive. It’s beautiful though. I’m so happy you have Matt. He seems like your kindred spirit!
The only reason I know about ice dams is that I’ve watched a ton of This Old House. Lots of attic insulation and modern roofing materials greatly decrease the chances of it occurring. As for the ice rink, the ground warming up underneath is melting it from the underside. Ice rinks are poured on top of sand. If you put down pond liner and sand next year it might do better.
Sitting here with tears down my face because you are living life so beautifully. You seem so fulfilled and I envy it so much. The music, the people you love, the ice skating. The love and warmth I can feel through the screen is so unreal ❤️
To make a good ice rink, you need to build up layers of ice by adding water across the whole thing a little bit at a time. Filling it with water like a pool isn't the way.
How much fun to have your own ice skating rink and be young enough to enjoy it❤. Many moons ago I used to enjoy the freedom of gliding over the ice at our small town lake with friends. You have brought back some beautiful fun memories. Thank you. I so enjoy watching you and Matt, both of you have such cute dimples, smiles and a zest for life. God bless❤
Ice dams have been a particular problem this year in southern Ontario too this is the first year I’ve ever had to deal with it so it might not actually have been part of your childhood experience
Loved this!! Makes me look so forward to finally getting my own place to fix up!! So sweet to see you guys interact and best wishes for Matt and that property! Oh and that clip at the end with Matt spitting out the latte! LOL hope he is ok too! Haha
For as young as you are it makes me smile seeing our young generation as yourself enjoying life and nature and not getting involved in the negativity of the world. God had put us on a beautiful earth to enjoy and has truly furnished us all with all we need to live. This just proves you can live a beautiful life even from your own vehicle and a small cabin out in the woods. Watching your videos and with the soulful music and time time beautiful singing and dancing truly relaxes me and opens my eyes to not stress over stupid things and to keep toxic out of my life. I have shared your channel with some of my friends that live in their vans and short buses they have rebuilt and travel all over in and they love you. Keep it up sweetie. 🥰
Your videos make me so happy! They have been here for me through some really dark times! You are such a light in those times! Keep being you and thank you for sharing !
Hannah your videos bring me such comfort, I legitimately wait to watch your new uploads until I’ve made dinner so that I can sit down, eat and watch your new content. That or try to not watch them for awhile so I can binge them like a tv show. You inspire me to lead this type of life smm & I can’t thank you enough for literally just continuing to make content
I stumbled upon a video of you 3 years ago waking up in your van. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of your page. Most people piss away life, merely surviving. You are the definition of LIVING! Thank you for your videos
You've got a beautiful gem there Hannah, so pretty with the lights and fire! I really respect your ability to endure winter in such a positive manner, (another southern Ontarian here) and I'm cold all the time! ❄️👍👋🇨🇦
You two aren't just existing in the snowy cold, your having so much fun. I enjoyed watching your video. You are such a pioneer. I'm amazed to see what you will come up with next.
You have totally inspired me to get out at winter time and build a fire….marshmallows, family, fun. Thank you for shining a light into our lives at times like we are living in at the mo. Xxx
I live in the tropics and the amount of work it takes to simply exist in the snow looks exhausting. That being said, it's so insanely beautiful and the ice skating looks magical. I love seeing your winter vids because it takes me back to my childhood and out of reality and I love that 💕
I feel so lame admitting this, but I watch your videos every morning at 7:30 am as soon as my son goes off to school and I sit down with my coffee. It's gotten so bad that I will sit for hours watching your videos, so now I have to limit myself to one or two videos so I dont "waste" my whole day away 😅 But I love your videos so much and I click on every single ad, I also let the ads play as well to support you! I am older than you but you inspire me every day! I actually am interested in picking up sewing because of you, and I was never interested in that before. 😊
Michigan girl here. The bigger the icicles, the worst the insulation. Good thing you got the rake though! I love the ASMR videos. Your videos have inspired the way I edit some of my videos. Love the cabin content always 🥰
You are pure joy, Hannah and I love your beautiful relationship with Matt!! Thank you for always sharing and uplifting humanity in the purest, simplest way. 💗🙏🏻💫
I'd love to see a video about living in a cabin things you have to have on hand. Like your gear (clothes/shoes), the roof shovel, propane, etc. I'm moving to Alaska (from California! Going to be a weather shock for sure lol) and watching this video I learned so much haha. And you're such a handy and clever person so I'm sure you would have good recommendations/advice for anyone :)
You make my soul feel so good, I can't explain it. Just your energetic nature, it's seems so relaxing, happy and natural. You're smart, beautiful, talented and hard working young person. Don't change, you have found your purpose in life. Bringing simple joy!
I'm sooo happy tonight, my heart is full of pure joy. Because of Isabel and Hannah. Isabel uploaded her video earlier and now Hannah 🤍 Your videos is like a food for my soul 🤍
Good to see your cottage and compound. Truly becominga year-round home. Diy Zamboni was a clever attempt at fixing ice rink. Enjoy Florida. Stay well. TY for sharing your adventures.
Beautiful video Hannah, thanks for taking us along. The cabin looks warm and cozy , the ice rink looks like fun and its nice to see you happy and surrounded by those who love you. Your videos are inspiring and a Great way to spend a little time on Sunday 💗🌟👍
Little helpful advice for warming up your truck faster in winter and cooling it faster in summer. Open your driver window a half inch and turn heat/AC on full blast. It'll push the cold/ hot air out and heat it up faster inside. You can feel the air rushing out the window from outside. It helps!
Lol! Love that you guys are enjoying the roof rake! They became so popular here in Connecticut in 2011 because we had these huge series of snow storms that caused a lot of people with flat roofs to cave in. Then everyone ran out to get one. At that point, we couldn't find one in stores anymore, so I got my Dad one off of Amazon and he was out using it every storm even though our roof isn't flat.
Every week I look forward to your videos - they are so lovely, fun, and great to watch! It's a nice escape to vicariously experience the outdoors and cabin life. Keep up the wonderful work and thank you for what you do!
Wow, talk about romantic, that ice skating rink is something straight out of a grand romance! I had my doubts as it whether it was worth all the effort, but heck yeah that looks amazing and we only got to see a few clips of you using it! Maybe when I move up north again next year I will make one for my kids and finally teach them to skate!
Thanks guys . For a few moments , I was there with you spinning and sipping by the fire instead of watching the news about the Ukraine . Honestly , this was such a gift xx
hey there, I am from MN also... I am over winter... thank you for showing me the beautiful winter videos... it really helps me in dealing with this white S@#$. LOL. I watch your channel to keep motivated for my own DIY, I recently started my own RU-vid channel... and to see the true beautiful-ness of snow... stay warm and keep making videos! 😁
Hannah, You're such a trooper dealing so cheerfully with all the obstacles of living in the north. I love your devotion to the magical little ice rink. Way to go learning to spin, Matt. I grew up in rural Wisconsin and skated every day in the winter but I never learned to spin. The little house for sale is a great find and though I hope the other buyer doesn't get it, i like seeing you two living together at your place so either way is good.
As a roofer, I wonder when your parents did their roof last because if it was done in the last 15ish years, then their roof more then Likely has ice & water shield on it and it prevents the damming issue you have. Since your having this issue, my guess is that the roof was put on with just felt paper which is fine in warmer climates, but not good for area’s with a lot of snow.
@@midwestnice It's a learning process and all things considered she is doing pretty damn well. She has learned from her mistakes and has been making a nice home for herself.
I have to admit that watching your life has become one of my favorite vlogs ❤️ and I can’t wait to see the next one and the next one! You are so natural and amazing (:
Last winter 🥶 during Texas Arctic blast I had ice damming on two parts of my roof. My roof is still not fixed. I had my roof leak in two places, 2 pipes burst, and my ceiling cave in, in two places. It’s been a year and a month still going through construction. Love your videos. I have a migraine today. It made me smile. Y’all are too cute 🥰. Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
The video was really enjoyable to watch. Hannah, you're so smart and innovative. It was like watching a movie. Matt did well with the skates. Much love.❤
Winter is hard but spring is SO close now. Currently we are tapping trees for sap and syrup making. It's the best way to round out the end of a long winter, keeps you busy and before you know it. BOOM. Spring.
I've always lived in Australia so I've only seen snow a couple of times when I've gone skiing. I know you say its hard but damn its beautiful. I wish I could experience a full winter in snow like that just once in my life
Hannah the fastest way of getting the snow off the roof is to get a moderately strong rope and a plastic 50ml bottle. Fill the bottle with water and leave it overnight to freeze. Tie rope to bottle. Throw bottle over roof. One person either side of rope and hacksaw underneath snow across roof and snow will slough off the roof. Do that with all the roof. Should take no time or energy at all.
I love your videos!! Some days I’m living vicariously while watching your videos. You are playful, resourceful, funny and just what people need to see right now🥰. Don’t stop making your awesome videos ✌️🤩
Watching you clean the roof was very meditating for me ! I am also sitting here in shorts and a tank top ! I love watching your videos from van life to cabin life .
