  • Prior to the renovation, this building had been a relatively vanilla nursery office that was in real need of some TLC.
    Given that it was only 600 square feet (~55 sq meters), we felt it would be a perfect first renovation for us to try our hand at. In this video, Sander will share how we created some character to this once rather drab, boring building.

    I'm so in love with the meadow house. You've put so much thought into every detail and executed all your meticulous plans with so much expertise and love! It's come such a long way and has grown into a true masterpiece. ART! Utility and beauty intertwined. I have a crush on your meadow house, is what I mean to say.

    If people put a bird house in at home, do remember that they need cleaning out annually

      When is the best time of year to do that? I don't want to disrupt a mother if she has eggs in there. I'm new to birdhouses and we put up two this year.

      Very important point. Thanks for bringing it up. Prevents any disease or mite transfer, for example.

    • @FlockFingerLakes
      @FlockFingerLakes  9 місяців тому +4

      Birds don't nest in fall or winter, so you can clean it out anytime in fall, winter, or really early spring before the birds arrive.

    The paint/sap issue just ads a little rustic patina to the perfection, it's not a bad thing. I couldn't see, but is there any planting to shield from the road?

    • @FlockFingerLakes
      @FlockFingerLakes  9 місяців тому +1

      we have some small trees starting close to the road. Ideally we actually take up the entire lawn and turn it all into a garden, which may be a project for either 2024 or 2025. We have to be careful not to plant trees too close to the home, however, because there was a pre-existing septic system, which we wouldn't want any tree roots finding.

    Will it get too hot in the birdhouse? It may be useful to put a little thermometer in there? Cute idea!

    • @FlockFingerLakes
      @FlockFingerLakes  9 місяців тому +1

      It shouldn't get too hot. It has air gaps above and in front on the sides. And the gable is 'empty' and uninsulated. Eager to see whether a bird will be v convinced to move in! Let's keep fingers crossed and wait until spring

    When painting wood you have to use a special primer that blocks the sap from coming up. You have to do a couple of coats and then you paint with the colored paint.

I love the dark green color with the warm staining. Sander is amazing with his workmanship. The previews of the awning and rain chains add so much character. I can't wait to see the gardens in progress in the spring and summer Thank you Sander and Summer! :)

    • @FlockFingerLakes
      @FlockFingerLakes  9 місяців тому

      We would have typically done fiberglass, which is best in class, as we were really focused on having to use less energy in the house, but we did a fiberglass-vinyl blend to keep within budget for this project. Renovation is always a compromise and most always a budgetary balance, as anyone who does it, knows.

    Wonderful job on the house! I learned a lot and it also inspired all kinds of ideas for a house I have in mind. I love your detail-oriented and thorough workmanship, Sander! You two make such a complimentary pair!
    Quick question: On the eastern porch where the trellises are, to the right of them is a plant pot planted with what looks like a type of grass. I don't know if it was just the lighting that the camera caused, but the grass looked a little copper-colored. Can you tell me what the name of that plant is?
    Thank you -- for all of it! I sat through the whole video without realizing it was over 40 minutes; I was rapt!
