    I love it that you are taking on this monumental restoration. It’s got to be overwhelming. But I know you will persevere and this home will regain the dignity it lost in the fire . I do hope you’re able to save the damaged furnishings. Have you thought about letting your viewers adopt a piece of the furniture to contribute to their conservation and restoration? I always look forward to your restoration videos! ❤

    When you said "Grand Pre" I immediately had a flashback to when I read Evangeline in an English class many years ago. The story of this house is so interesting and kind of mirrors the story of Evangeline in a lot of ways. If you haven't read it you should look it up. I think you would really like it.

    @SpanishEclectic 11 місяців тому +1

    Timber!! Oh my goodness! How scary. I'm so sorry about your windows. Hopefully the tree can provide some lumber or mulch. I feel your frustration that things take longer than you expect; I've had people who own modern construction homes, or those who rent, say ridiculous things. I don't want it to look modern, people! And I certainly get how the tired just seeps into your bones. Fortunately we much younger 20 years ago, but it was a real grind for 9 months, having two 1931 Spanish houses (one needed fixing up to move in, the other fixing up to sell), four mortgages, and 12 hour days combining our regular jobs with house rehab. And when you arrive at the other house and realize you forgot something? Ugh. I remember painting windowsills at the 'old' house, as chunks of ash fell from the sky and stuck to the paint; we were in the second week of the Cedar Fire here in San Diego, and the sky was brown. I love that you find such fascinating historical tidbits to share. Those house mysteries are great. Glad you have a good crew helping you. Happy New Year, Laine and Kevin!

But now that some time has gone by, I love the variety - the home tours, the Hope updates, the (ahem!) legal issues - there's always something new. And you two? You're ADORABLE. Keep it up, fellas!! EDIT: Is there , of Louise that could be incorportated into ? It would be so awesome to know that Louise still lives on somewhere in Hope, just like the beams you're salvaging!!

  • @karenstanislaw8912
    @karenstanislaw8912 11 місяців тому +3

    Please forgive me if I missed it, but is there any talk of you salvaging/utilizing the *wood from that fabulously large tree ? It seems, post potential damage or trauma, and although *brutally delivered - that you've got a *gift in its substance. Did you say it was a *redwood? My Goodness - potentially gorgeous floors, surfaces, tables - amazing . When you finish all the restoration, your place will shine, resume its fascinating, soulful destiny. Continuing to also admire your path as partners, and great admiration for lives consciously lived, and passions followed. Magnanimous and gratifying things in 2024 for both. (Can't wait to see HOPE come together!).

    When you were talking about the 100 yr old tree coming down, it made me think of some of the work being done on chateaus in France. Many have had to some extensive tree take downs of ones that are not safe. So many volunteer trees etc. that didn’t grow strong enough. Maybe some of the local arborists will come by and help you all inspect your trees.

    I somehow missed the finishing of the two houses, can’t remember their names, that you found the history of their lives in one of the rooms. I believe the big house was the husband’s law practice and the little house was their home. I remember she had been engaged and lost her fiancé in WWII. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the restoration and storyline.
