HUGE House Updates + Vlogmas Mode ENGAGED (Patreon)
Content
Hey besties! I'm back home from my trip to GA & have been readjusting to VT life. It is absolutely freezing here in the 20's most nights & 40's during the days, but our pellet stove is slaying & has kept us so warm. We also got our oil central heat going in the rest of the house & that has been great too. In other exciting news, the propane guys FINALLY installed our 3 tanks after we waited patiently for 3 months! They came to hook those up to our stove/oven & 2 wall heaters, but in bad news... Only the stovetop works! The oven is broken! LOL of course, but honestly I am using this as an excuse to buy a new oven that I actually think is nice.
Also, only one of the propane wall heaters actually works & it's apparently ventless? Meaning it puts propane fumes directly into the room? TERRIBLE & SCARY! It's only legally allowed in the home because the room it's in is so big that the fumes "disperse"... Needless to say we're not even using that. I think the only reason they were installed here is because they can be used even during a power outage. The other wall heater is in our bathroom & it needs some T-Bar installed for it to be able to work, but Finley & I honestly think we'd prefer to rip it out during the future bathroom remodel & just build up the central heat duct to reach the bathroom & heat the whole upstairs. That's our current plan!
In other amazing, glorious, STUNNING news: OUR ROOF IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED! The guys have been working hard on it since yesterday & bang around up there from 7:30 AM-4:30 PM (sunset... I know it's insanely early up here). They have about 2/3 of the house done & are doing amazing! We chose "dark red" & tbh it's a bit brighter than I expected, but whatever! It will be a MAJOR upgrade from the last leaky roof. In the warmer months, we plan to replace the siding with white hardie board which will weather any storm & last FOREVER! Then, our house will be a cute white home with a red roof, red trim & in the future... a big red barn! A New England staple! LOL
This all being said, we have lots of exciting things happening over here & I've started a new vlog to share it all. I'll have a few videos up before December, but I wanted to announce I AM doing Vlogmas for my 11th year & I am VERY excited! If you have absolutely any request for what you want to see this year, please comment down below & I'll make a big list like we did on here last year! Festive fun for all! WOO! Love you guys <3
