Hurricane Debby Damaged my workshop

- Watch the aftermath of Hurricane Debbie and see real footage from my farm taken with a Drone.
Some items floated away. But everything can be replaced or rebuilt. No live was lost and I'm staying positive on what's to come. I got a new fan to dry the things that got wet ;-)
I also got my lawnmower back and started cutting the grass. All items I built stood strong during the rain and are well off. The soil is not fully dried yet, and using the tractor just makes a big mess, so I'm cleaning up by hand. Watch all the updates in the Video.

I finally found use for the Hardwood that I cut while using my chainsaw a while back. It’s an exotic hardwood from the elephant ear pod tree. It look like a redish walnut. It has live edge all around it since it’s a cookie. I used resin and coffee bean to fill the imside crack for a unique look. Then I attached table legs.
The naked/transparent Woodworker- naked? Because i show all of mt mistake i make along the way so you can learn and dont make the same, saving you time and money.
FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY- a women showing woodworking techniques In everyday clothing made for women. Sanding lumber while doing light hip movements for fun. Everybody is encouraged to copy the movements to enjoy the task of sanding a bit more. You might be surprised and start smiling. Not for sexual gratification!
Hurricane runs through the place and Meike's smiling because there's work to be done. I love this woman.
🤣 Pretty much. Never giving up 💪
@@WhatMeikeMakes Life gets pretty crappy if you don't have something to do. 👍
Love your attitude. Those hurricanes lately have been bad in Florida especially on the Gulf Coast. I know people that live in the Port Charlotte area that lost a lot. Good to see that it wasn't worse.
Yes natural disasters really suck. But I guess it’s the tradeoff living in beautiful Staates. Next time I will be better prepared 💪
😯WoW ! 😯
If there was anymore rain we would have had to nickname your farm/ranch " Königssee Zwei " 😎
We have faith you will succeed in this massive clean-up ..🤠🚜So glad it wasn't worse ..Best wishes
😇❤
Thanks a lot! It sure felt like a lake for a bit. I was gonna get a mermaid costume for my video but then the water drained quickly 🤣
Hi Meike! Oh my! It's so sad to see all of the damage, flooding, and over-growth to your property. Having lived in Florida for 17 years, I've seen this more times than I care to count. I'm happy however to see that smile on your face, even with all of the clean up and work ahead of you. Be careful with all of that standing water since it harbors ... snakes! Take care my dear! 😉
Hi Bob, thanks for your comment. I always try to keep a good attitude about it. Really it’s my fault since I should have prepared better. So I’m working on that currently. I make sure I have enough boxes by and dry storage 💪
Meike you are so amazing and such a positive lady sorry to hear about what you are going through the damages to your property all the hard work you done you are so amazing and such a positive lady and you will rebuild and have it back beautiful like it was good bless you 😊
Thank you so much Marcus! 💪😊
Meike is so badass she survived a hurricane🌀!!!!! Ok think about that for a second.......😮she's just amazing and it shows. Meike&Coffee two of the greatest things around 👍☕👍
Well it was just a lot of flooding. The eye didn’t come close, so it wasn’t that bad. Just lots and lots of water. Thanks for watching
@@WhatMeikeMakes the hurricane gave meike all it had and what meike really means is "is that all you got" HA!!!! MEIKE IS AMAZING! 👍😍👍
Glad things are recoverable and you are invigorated to clean up. The boots and dress is such a cute look. No farmer ever looked better.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing how your place in FL looked after hurricane Debby ... love the positive outlook you demonstrated while going through the place, a lot of lesser folks would have thrown their hands up in the air and complained
Well, that isn’t gonna help, so I rather just move on with a positive mind set. Of course it’s gonna slow down my efforts on the farm but it’s part of life 🤷♀️
Always working with a Big Smile ❤❤❤
Always!
Just completely admire your attitude after finding that mess. To many it would have disheartening to come home to that. Debby did a ton of damage all the way up here in NY, we had flooding, bridges washed away, railroad tracks destroyed by dirt washing out under them and houses moved off their foundations.
I'm sorry to hear about all the damage. I stay positive since being negative about it doesn't fix the issue and almost makes it harder to start with the cleanup. Everything can be replaced eventually.
I can feel you so hard ... my roof was taken by a thunderstorm a few days ago and half of the house is devasteted ... stay strong and look forward to rebuild.
Oh no. So sorry to hear!
Not even the hurricane can against Meike. It seems that everything is well built. The plants will continue to grow and the bees will continue to produce their honey. A big Friday hug. Greetings from Chile as always
Natural disasters always suck but it's always something you have to be mindful of. That's why I make sure I built things sturdy 💪 Best wishes and have a great weekend
Glad you made out okay and no one was hurt. Thankfully for me Debby was only a mild rain event. Looking forward to see what you do with the farm.
That’s good to hear. Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend
Meike the important part you survived Hurricane Debbie !❤🤟
I sure did 💪
It started raining here in the midwest for the solar eclipse and has not stopped. You are an amazing woman.
That sucks, I hope you won’t get any flooding. Thanks for watching
Flood recovery takes a lot of time and work. Good luck Meike.
Thanks Michael
Life has its ups and downs, but you give off lots of positive energy. You will build back better. 😘😘😘
Thanks Mike! 💪
Bonjour Meike. Une chose est sûre c'est que vous ne risquez pas de vous ennuyer. Les températures chaudes de la Floride sont les alliées des mauvaises herbes en tout genre. Lorsque vous vivraient à plein temps sur votre propriété ce sera beaucoup plus facile de gérer la pousse de l'herbe et de toute la mauvaise végétation en général. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de courage pour tout remettre en état. Je suis très heureux de savoir que les abeilles ont été épargnées par l'ouragan. 5 pots pour une première récolte c'est très bien. Je vais vous laisser à vos occupations. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés. Olivier.
Meike! I am glad the destruction wasn't too bad, but there is still a lot of work to do, no doubt! Thank you for the great video... Fridays are always better waking up to you!
Thank you so much for watching!
Good morning and great video Meike. Looks like everything made it through the storm. The honey looks delicious. Take care and have a blessed and safe week and I'll see you on your next video
Thanks Billy. Have a great weekend
The most precious gem of the property seems unharmed. And looks wonderful in a blue dress. Nothing damages your spirit, you're awesome
Thanks for watching Phil 😊
Meike, I'm so glad you didn't let Debbie get you down 🥰A lot of those plants are really thriving! And it was very smart to have your bees cared for while you were away, and the results were incredible...few things are as delicious as fresh honey 🐝
Never 💪😁 yes the honey is super delicious. It has a very different flavor to the ones in the store
Well built orojeccts, the honey hives are moving along well. Home grown honey is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe, happy and healthy.
Thanks for watching Norm! The honey tastes very different to store bought. So yummy
Despite all of the damage, your attitude is refreshing and amazing!
Thanks Bill. Have a great weekend!
@@WhatMeikeMakes That's my plan. Keep up the good work!
You did so much work there only to go back and redo it. That's really tough. You have a great outlook and such a positive attitude.
Yea, it does suck but I try not to dwell on it. Thanks for watching
Sorry about all the water damage! But wow, you have such a great attitude about it all. Good luck with getting it all put back together!
Thanks so much!
Woow! Mother nature it's amazing, didn't know all your trees, love the Habanero, thanks for share it! ;)
Thanks for watching! I love to have many different fruit trees. Its amazing to be growing fruits that I never had
Ooh Meike, das tut mir Leid mit dem Hurrican. Deine Freude an diesem Stück Land hast du trotz der anstehenden Arbeit nicht verloren. Die Topfpflanzen solltest du besser irgendwo mit Seilen anbinden damit sie nicht mehr umfallen und Äste abbrechen. Ich mag deine fröhliche Art und Weise.🤗Gruß aus Deutschland 🇩🇪🙋🏽♂️
Ja sollte ich machen! Die Bäume müssen endlich in die Erde gepflanzt werden damit die Wachsen können. So viel zu tun 💪
Forces of Nature, Debbie and Meike.
I guess Debby won initially, but I come back with a force 💪
@@WhatMeikeMakes Debby comes once in a lifetime, Meike hits every Friday!
Keep on staying positive. Cheers! :)
Always! Thanks for stopping by
We got a lot of rain from that storm too. But we didn't have the flooding like they did on the coast. Hope everything is ok down that way.. Watch out for snakes.. Take care❤
Thanks Kenneth. The snakes are definitely on a roll right now. I see the poisonous daily and try to catch them to have less.
@@WhatMeikeMakes Just be careful with them, Take care❤
Nice to see you have a good attitude.
Always try to keep that 😊💪
Meike, looks like for the most part you were born with a green thumb. Hopefully, by the next video you have your mower back and are able to restore the place to where you had it. Always fun to see you. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂
I did get the lower back and then I broke again within 15 min 🤣 so I had to take it back again for another quick fix. I took it home the same day and now it’s finally working
@@WhatMeikeMakes Great! Now you can fill up a tumbler with your favorite drink and mow away! 🙃🙂
Great episode sorry about that hurricane reckon your property the way it did, but I’m glad that you’re attitude is so good. I like it a lot and wish nothing but the best for you looking forward to more good shows.❤
Thank you!
I love your attitude. Always an inspiration to me.
Thank you so much!!
When you were spinning i was waiting for you to transform into Wonder Woman. What a missed opportunity LOL
Hey Meike be careful with cleanup watch for snakes so cool you harvest some honey needs some biscuit and butter with the honey thats so good have a great weekend be safe
That sounds delicious! Thanks for stopping by
Meike now you know how Florida is. Now you can plan your place out so you have less damage in the future. Hang in there it can be nice. Judging from the fact you said you have Brazilian pepper trees I know you are in Southern Florida. I moved from there to the North Central part. Good luck and I hope to see many more of your posts. I watch all the time.
I've been through a hurricane in Miami as I got the roof to my condo blown off.. I just was not ready moved in yet for Debby. I would say now I know where the water puddles, but the whole lot was under water, just like many others. So I guess that does not count. Once thing I will change is being able to store items in plastic bins that I will secure, so they don't float off 🤣
Sorry to hear about the damage to the property, you enjoy a challenge
Thanks Tom, have a great weekend
Hi meike how are you doing I'm so sorry I seen your video latte because I was having busy week glad to see you doing good and blessings
Thanks for watching and have a great weekend
So very sorry about situation.Glad everyone is safe and sound.
That’s okay, now I just have to built even more 😜 have a great weekend
@WhatMeikeMakes Don't work to hard..enjoy life.
If someone can make it good again, it must be you 🥰... my dad was a beeceeper, I imagine I can smell the honey ! 😀
That’s awesome! I still have so much to learn!
I'm still recovering from Beryl. What a year. SHB are a big deal in Texas. I found that the Beetle Blaster Baseboard and the Guardian Entrance Trap helped a lot.
I hope the recovering is coming along fine. I have not tried either yet, but I will do that
@WhatMeikeMakes 100+ foot oak trees on my cadillac and my work truck, but no one hurt, no flooding, no roof damage, so overall, I'm blessed.
Very great video meike thank you so much sweet and beautiful Lady you are the most beautiful woman on earth sweet meike 😘💋💍😻💐🌹😍♥️🥰👍great work sweet meike Lady 💪🙏👍♥️💋🤩thank you meike ❤❤
🤗
It is difficult to grow all of the garden plants most people think of. In Florida we alternate between wet and dry weather not cold. Two good channels to follow for your garden are Wild Floridian and David the Good. They can help with plant selection for your future garden. Good luck and much love.
Thanks for the tips 💪
After a flooding is a good time to find all of the low spots still holding water and add a bit of dirt to level them out .
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
What an awesome attitude you have.😄
Thanks 💪😊
Good to see you back in Fl, a bit of work to do but I'm sure you'll have it looking good in no time😘
I hope so. Working on it 💪
OMG...So sorry...God bless tou
Thank you!
All your hard work 😢
That’s okay. Just a lot more to do now
I'm patiently waiting for you to build a swimming pool with all that available water 🤗🤗🤗
That would be great but I would be afraid the alligators would move in
Happy to see you back in a good State on your farm.You Radiate Beauty and Happiness to all of us when you are free out there.If the a-hole developers build close to you BUILD A BIG WALL 8ft tall and ignore them.Have a great week Beautiful.Jim M
I got that 8 ft wall in front already. Not sure if the 8ft would be sufficient for the sides though once they start building... Thanks for watching and have a great day
That honey looks delicious, I can see why the fifth jar was no longer full 😋
Yes, I couldn't resist. It's so yummy
That's terrible Meike! It will take a long time to recover :(
That’s okay, 👍 just adds more on my to do list. Have a great weekend
Nice to see you and your farm made it through Debby ok you need to trans plant those trees to a bigger pot oh and when do you plant your butterfly pea flowers I gotta try those next catch you next time 😊
😊💪thank you! And yes they are overdue to be replanted
I am very happy see your videos
Thank you so much 😀
I'm in Florida also (Panamacity area) we went through hurricane Michael back in 2018. It's hard to go through. But yeah you get to build new things. Stuff you probably would have just lived with before it was ravaged by a hurricane. Thoughts and prayers out to ya.
Just adds a bunch of new stuff to my to do list. I can’t remember the year but about 15 years ago one of the hurricanes coming through south Florida area ripped the roof to my apartment off. That wasn’t fun. Have a great weekend!
I know how it is to go back to a place you have not been to in a few months, the weeds, grass and trees all get out of control. I am sure you will have that place looking like new again soon. Watch out for critter that were washed in there and forced out of their holes by the water. BTW you are looking beautiful as always.
Lots of snakes have been moving around. Thank you so much for watching 😊💪
You always leave me wondering how you have gained your diverse knowledge and love for construction, horticulture, apiculture, etc. My guess is that you had parents that inspired a thirst for knowledge, or you are one of those very rare types that enjoy diving into the rabbit holes of curiosity. Whatever it is that motivates you, this world needs more individuals like you.
BTW...I have a brand new, manual honey extractor in my barn...it has never been used. If you would like to have it, I would be happy to see it put to use. My gift to you.
I love Meike ❤
😊
It's good you've taken a positive attitude towards this. Any other would not serve you well and can only jeoperdize your health. I'm still jelous if your tractor.😂
The tractor is the best investment ever, even though the ground is still too wet and muddy to use it. It was a great investment. it's like my car payment now.
Wow, looks like you have some work ahead of you. Perhaps the ninja star bit for your trimmer would work better for cutting the tall grass.
I will give that a try. Thanks for watching
you may want to look into perennial Dwarf Grass. It'd be a project to reseed the property with it, but it'll be hearty and stay short even when heavily watered!
EDIT: It also chokes out weeds!
Oh I like that. Gotta look into it. I was even thinking of clover as grass. Some people do that and it always looks good online. Not sure if it will really look that great in person tho
@@WhatMeikeMakes it's all good to look into for sure, the only drawback is that perennial grass may or may not tolerate the heat in your area, but they have all that info on the sales sites.
perennial dwarf grass also makes it almost impossible, due to the deep and thick roots, for weeds to take hold!
5:40 it's a good thing you found that flower. Most men wouldn't be able to.
Da hast du noch viel Arbeit vor dir. Grüße aus dem schönen Chiemgau (Bayern).
Liebe Grüße!!
Meike!🎉 I wouldn't mind a " Taste of your Honey"! I have a Green Thumb, too! Luv the Natural World, Luv you too! Dean ( Soul) Toronto

I could tell by the sound of that music , You were about to mount an assault on that mess . Sorry to see , but I know You got things under control . 🤗 🌞
Oh by the way ; Do you have a pair of Ladies style lederhosen shorts . ?
I needed some dramatic music for the intro 🤣🤣 No lederhosen for me. I have a Dirndl
@@WhatMeikeMakes AhH ; Much Cooler .
I feel sorry for your farm :(
Time to mow the lawn :)
💪😜
OMG: The environment is going to eat Meike :-( She needs a Noah's Ark as a back up :-)
Yes! 💪🤣
You look so cute in that sundress, Meike.
Thank you David!
Your your life is very interesting
Thanks for following along
I didn't realize you would be away with no one looking after the property for months...Probably a good idea to make sure you secure the plants/trees in pots by using concrete blocks to keep them from turning over with the wind. The water, you probably figured it out, you will need to dig a small drain ditch around the planting areas and buildings to allow flow...Wouldn't have helped with the flood but it would have let the water move off after. it will be back to normal soon...until the next hurricane....
I didn't plan to stay away for that long but the trip kept extending and I definitely did not prepare the property to be away for that long. I also wasn't prepared for the flooding. But I learned out of it. Will do better next time
@@WhatMeikeMakes that place turns back to jungle quickly...lol
From the opening shots of the video i was wondering how the honeybees were doing . We end up with everything storm related that comes up the coast or across Canada here in Nova Scotia. This seems to be the place where flooding is common, and all storms release their final furry. But don't take me wrong it is a beautiful moderate climate here with ocean all around and a excellent growing season even if it's shorter than down south.
Yes, they are doing great. The honey tastes so different from commercial honey. In Germany flooding was very common too. So I'm kind of used to it. Maybe I wasn't as prepared as I should be, but I will work on that
@WhatMeikeMakes most commercial honey has some form of sugar add because sugar is cheap and most people don't know what real honey tastes like. It's also same here with maple syrup .
Oh je, das sieht nicht gut aus. Wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg bei der Beseitigung der Schäden! Kopf hoch! Das wird schon.
Danke Fritz 💪
Alemoa caiu um DILUVIO 🌊por aí 😮?
We had hurricane Debby cone through
@@WhatMeikeMakes Mas esta tudo bem com todos vocês sua família?
Welcome to Florida 😅
Thanks. Returning back. Love it too much here
I am not sure why you would plant trees right next to the fence. I had a mulberry tree in my yard for years. It was 30 feet tall and 15 plus feet wide. Maybe you plan to transplant
It’s a dwarf tree. I wanted it to spread on both sides. I might have to move it tho. I still don’t have another area ready for the trees just yet
Cover with black plastic. That will keep light from allowing plants to keep growing!
👍
I’m in New Jersey and behind my house is a creek so when we get hit with storms I can ride my street with a kayak, anyway your fig tree is too close of the wall and the papaya tree, they grown fast and wide, got 2 on my yard. I used to cover them over the winter but I’m not doing that anymore
I was hoping for them to get their canopy above the fence so it hangs over on both sides… if not I might have to replant them… I’m still debating on the best location for my fruit trees
@@WhatMeikeMakes they still small so you can replant them, give space for fruit trees and a lot of sun.
Hallo Meike ein schönes Video ,es gibt nur ein Problem ich kann Englisch 😒 👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍😘😘
Hope you can still enjoy the videos
Hey Florida Woman ;-) Where did you go for two months!?

If you want them to draw that foundation out better take off that queen excluder. Also I did not see any brood are you queen right?
Lots of Brood, I put the queen excluder in since I want only closed brood and nursing bees in the upper level/ that makes space for the worker bees on the lower level. It's supposed to lower the risk of your Bees swarming and produce more honey... So far so good.
@@WhatMeikeMakes We don't see much swarming this time of year. I know your in Florida but most of us are doing winter prep about now. Join your local bee club/association thats where you will learn the most, coming form a beekeeper of 17yrs.
Free water.
Yes but very dirty 😷
O que aconteceu, para ter alagado tudo
Hurricane Debbie passed through
Shit, wäre aber nicht nötig gewesen, oder? (Debby ist gemeint)
Mother nature I guess....
Sad 😔 but don't be afraid. Never give up. In my area in Greece it didn't rain for months I'm desperate but with my tractor I don't afraid anything. Keep it strong blondie.🫶🤜🤙
That’s unfortunate:-( I hope it rained since 💪
