      Hi Aimee. Your bird house is going to be a bird bath if you don't have any drainage holes in the bottom or some gaps in the sides to let the rain water out.

      Please don't feed the birds in spring and summer. They will give it to their babies and they can die from it. Baby birds need insects. Rather make nesting boxes and plant plants that attract insects.

      Not a podcast, but a book series based around Scotland called Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Books in series are:
      OUTLANDER
      DRAGONFLY IN AMBER
      VOYAGER
      DRUMS OF AUTUMN
      FIERY CROSS
      A BREATH OF SNOW AND ASHES
      ECHO IN THE BONE
      MY OWN HEARTS BLOOD
      TELL THE BEES THAT I HAVE GONE
      THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL NOVELLAS BASED AROUND SOME OF THE CHARACTERS.

      Yesss! I said this on the last video, I don't think they're big cat people and can't commit much to pets, but adopt some barn cats! They won't need much care and if you go away you could just leave out food - and they'll keep themselves fed on mice! The presence and smell of cats will also discourage mice from returning.

    From the very first second of this video, I could not get over how this last week you both seem to have shed 10 years off your faces. Craig, you were just glowing while in that digger. Amy, your face was radiant, even in the gloom of the tool room. Obviously, after the long wait for occupancy, you are in your element, building and creating your dream spaces. So good to see you so utterly happy! Thank you for sharing the joy of even the smallest triumphs in moving those rocks and getting everything in order. It is such fun to see your vision emerging!!!

    You could mouse proof your bus by looking for and sealing holes, covering sink drain, storing all food in mouseproof containers, staying on top of crumbs, disinfecting the area everytime you find a turd (they leave their smells behind to attract family & friends) plant peppermint and oregano in window boxes and keep the boxes around/under the bus and open door. Grow lots of peppermint elsewhere too. Mice find their way home unless taken 5 km away. You have thousands of mice in the fields around your house; you'll never catch them all....therefore deterring them is best. Bird food will attract rats and squirrels; you don't want either moving into your spaces. Owl decoys can be effective especially if you move them around. Rodents are very smart.

      Mice even chew through heavy hard plastic! Metal & glass containers are the way to go. Please put all the “extra” bird food in a metal or glass containers because it will be a huge draw & a source of “food” for all the other critters. ☹️
      Peppermint works, fairly well, but you have to keep repeating the treatments for any long term deterrent. Could try playing loud cats purring, dogs barking, owls hooting, wolves howling, High-pitched noises, etc. Use on constant repeat to help drive the mice away. Found my “sounds” on UA-cam!

    You both really do look like you are having a great time and enjoying land ownership . I think a hopscotch on the parking area would be super quirky

    When we lived in an area with Kangaroo Mice, we packed things in the heavy black garden trash bags. They didn't seem to like those and we didn't have any problems. Worth a try. Also, all that bird food will attract the mice so be sure to put the feeders far from your home(s). Love watching you learn and take on all these projects.

    For your mouse problem: highly suggest getting two cats. Bonus: if you get them from a shelter, you won't have to wait for them to grow up to start catching mice. (Note: suggested two so they can keep each other company when you're not around.)

      Some rescues even adopt "barn cats" that are specifically suited for living a bit more outdoors than in. :)

    Get a metal garbage can with metal lid big enough to put all your bird seed in so animals, rats, mice cannot get in and eat it. Also. Your clothes are also something they can get into and ruin. Just a thought. Love the bird house cafe. Great job both of you on all your hard work.💖👍🏻🤗

    Purchase a mouse device that you plug into a socket. It makes a sound that only the mice hear....they don't like the sound....so it keeps them away. This will work for both your home and Custard.
