hey y'all dream from where the yocals grow as you can see we are standing somewhere that you have
not seen yet so in today's video I'm going to take you on a tour of the new property so if you are
new here welcome and if you're returning I'm so glad to see you again okay before we get started
I wanted to give you kind of a context of where we are this is a very Urban neighborhood across
the street is a large Methodist Church you can see the big power lines very very busy street so we're
going to turn around and we are starting at the front of the property our property is completely
gated all the way around on both sides and give you an idea and our fence line is way over there
there's my van my husband's truck so here we go we're going to talk about big dreams and hopes
and all that stuff I plan to plant Wisteria all along this fence line on the inside and on the
outside I want to put a whole where it's sunny of course a whole row of zinnias and I do plan to put
some kind of formal I don't know what something formal over there but I'm going to turn around
so here it is this little house is a belong to our friend's parents house and when they passed
away they offered this property to us and the reason they offered it to us was because back in
2012 this house and the church across the street were hit by a tornado and it did a lot of damage
and my husband and I run dream construction here in Arlington Texas and they had us because they
knew who we were and they had us come over and my husband built we'll go see it here in
a minute but he built that garage that's right there and in the back he built the barn and then
all the windows were replaced the roof was done a whole lot of stuff was done so this is the front
of the house needs a lot of TLC which is just fine because that's the kind of thing I like
so we're gonna go over here
and of course you can see the garage again right there
[Music]
it's a bit of a walk it's two acres okay so here is the long run and if
you have seen my other videos where I talk about what we're going to be
doing you're going to see The Garden area that's going to be way back here
okay so as we turn right here this dead tree is going to come out we're going to do some
trimming but this whole area right here will now be Little Joey's brand new playground and
sensory area and then his sensory garden will be probably right about here we're gonna of
course trim up all that stuff on the trees let me show you where the chickens are gonna go
like I said it's a bit of a walk [Music]
okay so where this tree is this large tree of course we're going to be doing a lot of
trimming the chickens their run is going to be out here at first we thought we were going to
let them be free range but with all the amount of gardens that are going to be going in you
know how chickens are they can tear up a place this is the existing Greenhouse that was here
and this is the garage that my husband built in 2012. he also Built This Barn that's back here
neighbor's house
neighbor's dog of course back here is where the
whole new garden and Orchard is going say hello to everybody there you go
now we've decided we're gonna fix this chicken Cooper and utilize
it and add to it and of course this whole fence line is going to come out
let me turn this way existing Greenhouse right here we are going to use it we're going to move
this over to here on this side and that is where we're going to have all our garden tools [Music]
this was their existing Garden when his mom had her garden this is where she had it was back here
and it is a perfect location the only problem with it as you can see how many trees and then the side
of the barn is here and I to me it looks like it would get too much shade so we're moving it
up we're still going to utilize this area but it goes as I fall over it goes all the way back here
so there it is it is so pretty back here okay here we go this is the back side of
the barn this is where we're going to keep the compost pile compost bins not piles compost bins
we're going to keep them behind the barn here's a have a close-up look of the barn
[Music] as you come out from behind the barn you can see the property like there's a lot of
cleanup a lot of this stuff we're going to utilize because this wiring right here can definitely be
used to make a chicken run for our chickens and then here's where all the big hopes and
dreams come in this particular area back here I absolutely love it for those of you who know
me you know that I walk a different spiritual path and so this area will become my goddess
Sanctuary ouch and my meditation area and anytime we might host a circle
for our women friends it'll be out here I have big dreams of of koi pond and seeding I don't
think I'm going to do a fire pit out here because I want to do one in a different place and I just
walk through spider web that was great but nice beautiful seating area back there in the Shaded
area or I might put the fish pond there lots of room in this corner that leaves that hole filled
for the kids to be able to play their football their soccer all that stuff
and this is the back side of the pool house the well anybody knows in our area a good well
person let me know because I have to have that well looked at here's another view now we're
not going to go in the barn we're not going to go inside the house and we're not going
to go inside the garage because people still do live here and I'm going to respect their privacy
as we get up here you'll see there's lots of cleanup that has to be done
so in this area I think we're going to put in another seating area with a fire
pit because you can walk right off this pool deck right here
now there's going to be a lot of people talking where we're going
but I'm going to show you the pool that is currently being cleaned out
so here is the pool area
in the pool deck we're going to continue flour
and then in time we are actually going to do an addition onto this house we're going
to move it this way and then we're going to extend it that way and then over there where
you see all the seating and everything that's where the new outdoor kitchen is going to go
oh
snake snake that bite me
here's our trees from the house
so this is the current kitchen that we are outdoor kitchen we're going
to utilize and then eventually it's going to move over here there's the three-car garage
so right here we have a shower and a bathroom and then there's
the deck well the hot tub and then here is the pool it's Kaden's butt
eventually we're going to take this out and put in a slide and
um like a little Grotto type thing I guess and then here is the deck
up here of course this needs some TLC but it's got good bones and that's all that matters and
then we have a walk down see the the plan is you see we have the steps that come down and
the plan is to be able to step down and then right here have a fire pit out here and then off in the
distance we'll have the meditation Gardens we're going to keep there's a cypress tree over here
and I'm going to keep this one I think we're keeping the bigger one and then again we're
going to replace the propane tank that's the other thing we have propane and well water here we just
gotta you see that guy's kind of leaning in and then somewhere there is one of the lines because
it has irrigation throughout the whole place and there's a line that's broken so anytime you turn
it on it leaks so we've got to have someone come out and look at all that but that is the property
we are super excited the end of May cannot come fast enough for me just really can't
Fred [Music] say hi Fred it's a pretty cutie Fred
what's up Fred [Music]
I have already been out here and I cleaned out the greenhouse they let me come and clean everything
out so as you can see I have all of my tomato plants they are on site I have flowers too because
I want to make sure in fact I probably should take these out and water everything but I want
to make sure that I have flowers on site because you can see this property doesn't have a lot of
flowers and as you know when you have a garden you need pollinators so the way this happens
anyways we've got it all cleaned out and we are going to utilize it we're going to
put another window here and we're gonna put back out we're gonna put more windows across
the top because it already has electricity in here so I'll be able I'm going to put a fan
here and then there's another one on the back side here we're going to put a fan and we have
a glass or a wood door with window panes and we're going to put that here in this doorway
okay my old Cypress stump took out of the Cypress swamp [Music]
here's what it looks like so we're going to be utilizing this for a while and then
I have I'm probably going to get like a high tunnel to put back in here when you know for
once we start seeds and stuff we're going to need a bigger place because
as you can see this is going to be a bigger Garden area it looks
like our apple tree may not be alive but that's okay and then we have a pair here
a pair right here a pair there and a plum and then of course all of our all of our stuff as well
so I am gonna film this little room I wanted to show it we'll finish the sheetrock and all
of that stuff and then we're going to put a split mini in here but this this is what I
was talking about Big Dreams and big hopes this is the future studio and podcast area in the future I
intend to have a podcast the goal with my YouTube channel has always been to feature different Urban
gardeners or Urban Farmers within the DFW area it wasn't just supposed to be about me because
though those of you who have Farms or homesteads out in the country you
guys are amazing but there is just as many amazing Urban homesteaders and urban farmers
here that I don't think get enough recognition so it's a pretty good
sized room as you can see of course it's got a lot of trash in it we gotta get it out
okay and then this stall I've been given permission since most of our stuff we're already
moving our stuff over here this stall is going to be turned into a what are they called a cold room
in the back for storage and then this is where all of my canned goods it's basically going to
be a large outside pantry and all of canning will be done out here instead of because this house is
a very tiny kitchen so instead of having to do it in that Tiny Kitchen it'll all be out here
and then there's the long long driveway side of the house
like I said I can't show you inside just yet because they are still living here and they
are still moving so out of respect for them oh let me show you the Mustang grapes [Music]
I think they're called musculine mescaline grapes
anyways look they are loaded down already I'm gonna get in here bring some sheer or shears
some trimmers trim the trees out of here and I've already got um what's it called arbors yeah Arbors
Forum big front porch look at all the irises all these irises are gonna be beautiful [Music]
I don't know if you can hear let me see if I can zoom in my our future Neighbors
have that beautiful Fountain over there and I would love to have a fountain right out there
so as I said before this little area is going to be Joey's sensory garden and play area we plan
to buy one Jungle Gym we're gonna get a metal one because the wood one that we've had for
several years was actually coated and Cadence the one that you see at our other property
um here it is so you know what it looks like they actually had that when they were little
and we repainted it for Joey when we did his sensory garden so we are going to get a metal
one and then my husband I think it's going to sit probably right about there he is going to
build like a rope bridge and it's going to come across to in between these trees and he's going
to build like a little house it's going to have a Rockwell it's a rock wall it's going to have
a little area underneath for a sand pit we got a lot of Big Dreams to do here oh and we're getting
six more new chickens in June Tommy's gonna let us have that little house right there [Music]
we have big hopes and dreams for this new property and as you can see it's going to take a lot to do
it so it's going to be done in small phases of course the house stuff has to be addressed
first and then at the same time we're going to be building that Garden that's why I potted up all
of those tomatoes in those bigger pots so they can last long enough until we get them into the ground
thankfully we have a long growing season here so we should be okay as far as having a garden
