By keeping the weeds cut back 20 to 25 feet away from the cabin will cut down on the bugs/flies. Use pallets in the shelter to set stuff on. Yes, you'll have to bring out the pallets, but it would be good. There are screen tents. Some are small and may fit.?? You could build the deck/porch out where the stairs are now. By moving the stairs off to the side, under the window by the stove, you would have a nice space for a screen tent and the swing. Glad to see you back. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.
Hey I haven't seen the two of you on here for a while. Great to see you both again enjoying the outdoors and cooking together. I am hoping that the hot weather that is going on around the world is not keeping you from making videos for all of us. Stay safe and keep having fun together. Love to Willow and June Bug!.
I have the same setup where I built a screened in, 7 x 9 ft. porch on the end of our deck. I went right to the existing ceiling with the walls as it saves a lot of work and it looks better. I left room between the deck railing and the structure for ease in access. You'll also appreciate that when installing the screen. I used 2x4's for the frame. Best to look on UA-cam for ideas. We're on a homestead here and I built this for my wife who loves it and uses it all the time and it looks good. I covered the stapled screen with wood trim painted white. I put plywood over the deck floor and covered it with indoor/outdoor carpet. About $500 dollars total including a screen door and hardware.
Something you could do for the screening is to line the deck, but make it big sliding panels across the front. so that you’re not trying to get around the rectangle you’re planning.
Definitely need to clean up the brush all around the cabin and work on your pathway to the road. That would make lots of video footage. And everything would look so much better.
Nice to see you back. I was watching you working in your yard. When I lived up North before retiring to Florida I would always work in my yard during early fall through early winter. No bugs and during that time it made working in the yard easier and better. You have a nice cabin, when you get your yard together it’s going to be beautiful especially with the lake. I took down your recipe of the nachos. Looked delicious. I love seeing you, City Girl, Junebug and Willow. Thanks for sharing you Guys were missed🐞👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🐞
Yeah, vegetation gives the mosquitoes and bugs a place to hide and shelter, therefore bugs in your habitat 😂, one day he’ll figure it out 😂❤. He just doesn’t like work he sweats in so…he has a lot of bugs 🫣
Yay, Russell and Alicia are back! It's so good to see your smiling faces! I wonder if the tire got dry rot? Even if they're low mileage, if they're 5-6 years old, they could get it just from sitting, sun, etc. I couldn't see any on the others, but you need to look quite closely, especially with that large tread. Mine are starting to get it. There are sealant products by Armor All, etc, that claim to delay or prevent this, but I dunno. I also had AC issues with my 2016 Honda. The new Freon is hard on components, and my compressor was shot with only 30,000 miles. I was trying to save up the $1600 but Honda finally did a Recall. So I too, was bumming around a nearby town waiting for my install and recharge. I spent a few lovely hours at a lake park. It was a beautiful day, luckily not too hot. Then it rained out of nowhere, and I missed the bus. So the Courtesy Driver gave me a lift to The Texas Roadhouse, where I had some baby back ribs and steak fries. All in all it was a pretty pleasant morning and afternoon. So looks like we're going through the same things. 😃 The new chair truly does look "just right" for little Goldilocks/Alicia. She can sit in it for BF and CC, eh? Good luck in your hunt for a Big Person Chair. Maybe a tent style screen room would fit around the porch swing, if it wouldn't hit the porch roof? They're pretty reasonable at Walmart, etc. Shine bright in the pea soup, and enjoy Booxing.
I went to the Ford dealership in Madoc when I had a flat on my truck going into my camp. Good service. Nice lady behind the counter. By the way Russell, that Ford dealership couldn't do ATV tire work for me as they don't have the proper equipment so they sent me to a small shop on the east side of Madoc. Things to remember if in need. Loved the walking tour of Madoc. Know that LCBO well. Should have stopped at the micro brewery just south of the Ford dealership. Great video.
The garden looks fantastic. I must say your kitchen is beautiful. You did great job Russell. I wanted to mention that on your quest to lose weight you might want to cut down on your sodium intake as it retains fluid. My husband was shocked when we read the labels and tracked how much sodium we were innocently eating without adding table salt when we sat at the table. We loved Stag chili too, but when I read the label and saw the sodium count, I was astonished in the amount of salt it has and other canned and boxed prepared foods we eat. When we stopped and started making our own chili etc from scratch, we eliminated the salt and we both lost a lot of fluid weight. Good for the heart. Challenge yourself and add up the sodium content of what you eat daily and you will be very surprised. Just trying to make you aware, as you are doing all the right things with your exercise and outdoor activities to get into shape. If you want the salt taste try potassium salt substitute. It tastes just like salt and is actually good for you. You sure know how to pack that 4 wheeler. Getting a new chair is like getting a new pair of shoes. They have to be broken in. It is a nice chair with some very nice features. Your strawberry plants look so healthy and seem to be great producers. You must be so excited about your new shop. Screened in room around the swing is a great idea or just by a screened in gazebo to put there. There are some reasonable priced screened in gazebos on Amazon. Price comparison it may be cheaper to buy one that size. Have fun with your projects and enjoy your beautiful paradise.
❤❤❤ Hello to both of you love your kitchen. For the outside you Don’t need to make and structure just staple around the one already have and Amazon already have the screams door, will be a easy way to do it just half side of the balcony cover.🦋🦋🦋🦋
Try a handful of citronella plants around the swing to get rid of the mosquitoes there are also other plants you can put in pots on the porch to deter the mosquitoes
It's a good thing that City Girl shows up every now and then. She always prepares a nice meal for you. The nachos look very appetizing. Thanks for sharing. Good to see you again.
I am so glad you make these videos. Many videos today are filled with fear inducing content. At least the only thing I fear for you two is the rainy season where your stuck there or the dead of winter deepest snows. I love your videos! And recipes!!!! ❤
Nice to see a video again!!!! I am not sure that box over the swing would be good...what about some kind of netting like you would put over a bed...that would be easily removed ...but not a white one...there are a bunch on Amazon when I searched for mosquito netting for porch. So happy there will be a Booxefest!! See you then!
CG, nice trellis, but bad mosquito net. lol Garden looks great. YAY! Russell, are you on medication? I ask because I was on two years ago, which caused me to always overheat and sweat even during cool weather. Then I requested going off those meds, and did, and was again back to normal with no overheating or excessive sweating. If you enclose the porch swing itself, won't that prevent CG from rocking in it? What about building something off the porch, right next to it, a special swing room? Big enough to actually swing in it? Sorry if that was a totally silly idea. Maybe if you fine-screen the floor beneath it, and then just have a draping bug mesh all around it... something that can be removed when necessary... though would have to adjust it each time CG sat down on the swing, but would keep out bugs without having to build something more permanent? Dunno. The problem is having a swing and needing to be able to walk freely along the porch. It'll be fun to see what you figure out. Strawberries look like they could use more water and more frequently so as to get more berries and larger juicier ones. I've grown them in previous homes. Nothing tastier than a fresh strawberry. But the dang birds and rodents would not leave them alone!
Hi Russell!!!! and Alicia!!!! I MISSED YOU GUYS😔😔But sooo glad you both are happy, healthy and safe💕💙 I LOVED this video Russell. So glad to see you BOTH and the pups. Looking forward to the next one✨🌟⭐💚
The weather you've had seems like what we've had here in central Scandinavia. We had basically no rain at all from snow melt until midsummer, 2 months of heat and super drought and now it's massive rain storms with thunder almost every day instead!
The nachos looked inspiring! Maybe make mosquito netting to drape over the swing. You can get that netting with the magnet closures probably at giant tiger or dollarama. Hang it from a couple of hooks from the ceiling. Use a dowel to support the netting . Screw some eye hooks into the dowel. Just a brainthinken.🙂👍👍
My brother in law was the same way about the screen on the porch but, after years of my sister arguing about it he finally did it and now regrets not doing in sooner. At night they sit out there on his laptop and play cards and now bought a small tv to put out there. It became another room in there house. Screen it in!!!
Screens are fine but in Australia we put a ceiling fan on the outdoor porch to disrupt the air flow. You may not have enough head height, but try a pedestal or desktop fan. Cheers!
The extra plants coming off the strawberries are called runners. You should clip them away from the main plant and you will have a plus one. It's better for the health of the main plant to take them off too.
Good to see you both again! I’d maybe think of hooks in the ceiling to hook and drape a net over the chair - those magnet window nets for the floor and the drape over them - trying to think quick fix low output! 😊
Russell, it's a sawbuck. I would screen in the porch. If you build a room over the swing, It will be in the way all the time. Your porch would be easy to screen. You can do it. Don't waste your time on a cover for the swing.
Catching up on your video's....also in need of a Booxefest fix, nothin worse than being stuck on the side of the road. Still love your FJ...coolest vehicle Toyota ever made. License plate suggestion "BXFST 01" Curious to see how you like your new chair after a few months of use...I have one of those stupid racing chairs lol.
Hi. Connie from Pennsylvania in the States! I had a license plate like that not near as bad and I got pulled over. I had to go the State Police Barracks and a trooper came out to my vehicle and filled out part of a form and I filled out the rest and mailed it in to the PA Dept. of Transportation. It took 6 weeks (during the end of Covid) and I did get a new number. BTW I love it when City Girl is on!!!❤
Build her one around the porch. The dollar store has screens for a regular door size. lt clips to the frame and then has magnetic clips to hold it close and easy to open to get out. Shawn just built a great outdoor kitchen, make her one. Take care and stay safe
Great video--For the bugs--Put a fan out on the deck it will keep them away--i live in southern ontario and the mosquitos have been terrible,i put a fan out on my deck and it works awesome..stay safe folks i really enjoy your videos! 🙂
We wondered what happened to you guys. Not a peep for two weeks on Insta or on a UA-cam Short to let us know what was going on. Two things: 1. screened porches are not confining, they add to your overall living space 2. Invest in a good strimmer and go to town on all the deep vegetation around the front of the cabin. Nothings says bug habitat like stagnant water, and nearby thick vegetation. Cheers to you both.
Hello Russel nice to see you and Doggies , Alicia , love your garden vegetables and the strawberries . Hope you get better with the hip pain , wear and tear probably , have a wonderful life , lots of love ***
If you don't want to put up a screened in area,a couple thermacells would keep the bugs away for City Girl. They really do work and would save you from putting up screens.
They make bug screens for beds and hammocks that you could hang from above that would cover the swing. I would hate any screen on the porch permanently that would obstruct your great view.
I've been doing chili nachos for years, they're great. After my son tried chili nachos as a kid he wouldn't eat salsa nachos again. And keeping with the nacho theme, we often make bbq sauce nachos, using Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce - really quite tasty!
Rock Auto has AC lines - I searched by 2010 just taking a stab at the year. Cost of $25 to $65 for the 4 lines shown - Shipping to Canada would be about the same. Just in case your "guy" would install customer-owned-supplied parts. I rotate all 5 tires in my Land Cruised every 2nd oil change to give more tire life and the bolts are rusty - I goop it up with anti seize every year with good luck so far..
Russell, I am so glad you explained what happened with the videos. I was worried about the heart running backwards again. Screen in the whole porch, you will love yourself for it. I found out you and I have some things in common. No clothes on as often as possible but in the the Texas heat your 80 my 100+ for the last 30 plus days and a high at my house of 114F on two different calibrated weather stations, you had better wear a sock last thing you want sun burned will be covered. We also love our beer. I keep waiting for a Tarzan yell from you as you live in a jungle now days. I flew to Tampa Fl today to meet up with a you-tube channel couple Sailing GBU. Funny kids, they are having a little meet and greet so here I am in Tampa. If you want fun and good laughs I mean crying tears funny in my case laughs watch them from day one. God Bless you and City Girl in all you choose to do. Have a blessed week.
How about those roll down screens held in place by magnets. You could screen your whole porch on the cheap and roll it up when you dont want it. Just a thought Russ.
Hi Russell, the STRAWBERRIES' will continue to put out runners (tendrils) so if you can plant in a large area they will just keep v multiplying. God bless you both
Screen the whole porch first time or youll be doing it again later. Ive never seen a screen deter your vision. Dont put panels, just run your screening and tack it tightly around your porch then put up a light door. You can do it all yourself
Another great video , sorry I had to laugh when you were having one of those days , and the way you said the spider web catcher is in the perfect position to grab the branches and wet me even more. Thanks for sharing your life guys you bring joy to others
I think life is wonderful, however, to expect everyone to think your life is the best is extremely hard work and I know you already know that. But keep doing what you do as we all have lives to live but it is always interesting to watch someone else's. Keep on doing your great work, we all enjoy it.Thanks for your efforts we enjoy them all.
Four months of fighting bugs! I think you shud screen in the entire porch-screening in that swing will take up too much space. That way you can enjoy that amazing view anytime. Do it for city girl and the 🐶 🐶 !
for a screened in section, you might be better off screening in the side of the deck where the swing seat is, that or, look into "cafe blinds" that are mesh, and can be retracted as needed.
Hey Russ!, glad your still with us !, thought most northern canadians see life through little tny squares !!?lol , mossie nets best , look forward to seeing the Russ solution !, Respect ❤
Whoa! Raspberry Rock Garden 2.0!!! It is looking so good! ❤ Err...why is there a saw propped up in the kitchen 🤔 Hmmm...you guys are making me hungry for natchos at 7:50am! Lol!!! This looks great. I may make this tonight! Have a wonderful weekend! Peaaaaaa soup!
Russell it's too bad you had that blow out with your front left tire. I noticed that your front and back bumpers are all rust, maybe you should have them looked and cleaned up, before they fall off of your truck, and when you get the spare tire off, put some "Anti-sieze" on the bolts for your spare tire before you mount it back on the the rear door!
You need a spoon girl. Make cooking easier for you. I use a jar of the spicey cheese and heat it up then pour over chips. Then onions, lettuce, olives, whatever, salso next, then sour cream. Yum
Gente que linda tá a horta parabéns 👏👏👏 bom ver vcs novamente estava com saudades 🥰🥰❤ maravilhoso lago amo olhar pra ele❤ gosto de ver vcs sorrindo 😂😂😂 brincando KK 😂😂 tá linda a cozinha❤ e essas receitas Humm 😋😋 delícia 😃😃 Deus abençoe vcs meus amores bjsss 😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️🥰🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️
It would take more space then if u just screened in the whole thing but i ended up puting windows in mine & made it part of the house lol so what do i know lol good luck & god bless
Russ I seen if you burn Coffee grounds the flys and bug will leave you alone .. or screen in the porch and have a door by the steps Welcome back ((UK SUB))
By keeping the weeds cut back 20 to 25 feet away from the cabin will cut down on the bugs/flies. Use pallets in the shelter to set stuff on.

its up to you what you want to do but i would get a gas weed eater and get rid of all the vegatation around the cottage first
Yeah, vegetation gives the mosquitoes and bugs a place to hide and shelter, therefore bugs in your habitat 😂, one day he’ll figure it out 😂❤. He just doesn’t like work he sweats in so…he has a lot of bugs 🫣
a 6 ft swath around the veggie garden would be a good idea as well
Hello Russell and Alicia. So nice to see you back. Thanks for the adventures Russell! Be well.
Yay, Russell and Alicia are back! It's so good to see your smiling faces!
I wonder if the tire got dry rot? Even if they're low mileage, if they're 5-6 years old, they could get it just from sitting, sun, etc. I couldn't see any on the others, but you need to look quite closely, especially with that large tread. Mine are starting to get it. There are sealant products by Armor All, etc, that claim to delay or prevent this, but I dunno.
I also had AC issues with my 2016 Honda. The new Freon is hard on components, and my compressor was shot with only 30,000 miles. I was trying to save up the $1600 but Honda finally did a Recall. So I too, was bumming around a nearby town waiting for my install and recharge. I spent a few lovely hours at a lake park. It was a beautiful day, luckily not too hot. Then it rained out of nowhere, and I missed the bus. So the Courtesy Driver gave me a lift to The Texas Roadhouse, where I had some baby back ribs and steak fries. All in all it was a pretty pleasant morning and afternoon.
So looks like we're going through the same things. 😃
The new chair truly does look "just right" for little Goldilocks/Alicia. She can sit in it for BF and CC, eh? Good luck in your hunt for a Big Person Chair.
Maybe a tent style screen room would fit around the porch swing, if it wouldn't hit the porch roof? They're pretty reasonable at Walmart, etc.
Shine bright in the pea soup, and enjoy Booxing.
I went to the Ford dealership in Madoc when I had a flat on my truck going into my camp. Good service. Nice lady behind the counter.

You should definitely screen the porch! By the time you build the rectangle around the glider, you’ll have it mostly covered anyway!

If you box in the screen it’s gonna make that area look smaller, do the whole parch, it’ll be awesome!
Screens are fine but in Australia we put a ceiling fan on the outdoor porch to disrupt the air flow. You may not have enough head height, but try a pedestal or desktop fan. Cheers!

Just keep those videos coming love your content and I'm a big fan of subway myself can't get enough of them and the wilderness
A screened in porch would be awesome. I think you will see it’s not that confining.
Hi. Connie from Pennsylvania in the States! I had a license plate like that not near as bad and I got pulled over. I had to go the State Police Barracks and a trooper came out to my vehicle and filled out part of a form and I filled out the rest and mailed it in to the PA Dept. of Transportation. It took 6 weeks (during the end of Covid) and I did get a new number.
BTW I love it when City Girl is on!!!❤
Glad to see your kitchen in a much tidy well done,,,now to cut the long grass around your cabin
Build her one around the porch. The dollar store has screens for a regular door size. lt clips to the frame and then has magnetic clips to hold it close and easy to open to get out. Shawn just built a great outdoor kitchen, make her one. Take care and stay safe
Avocado tip. If the avocado ripens and you are not ready to eat it, place it in the fridge (crisper) and will last several days.
Great video--For the bugs--Put a fan out on the deck it will keep them away--i live in southern ontario and the mosquitos have been terrible,i put a fan out on my deck and it works awesome..stay safe folks i really enjoy your videos! 🙂
Put your garden in a sunny cleared off spot next year. Have Russell find someone to till the ground for you. Your yeild will be so much better
We wondered what happened to you guys. Not a peep for two weeks on Insta or on a UA-cam Short to let us know what was going on.
Two things:
1. screened porches are not confining, they add to your overall living space

Get a large bed netting for city girls swing ,you can get one with a hook to hang it above the swing . Lily from Colorado

I gave in and screened in both of my porches. I fought it but now I’m so glad I did it. ❤
They have different types of bug shelters for camping, various sizes. Maybe you could adapt one of those to fit.

Maybe get some citronella plants. or a Solar Powered Zapper Lamp, For Indoor And Outdoor Use.
How about those roll down screens held in place by magnets. You could screen your whole porch on the cheap and roll it up when you dont want it. Just a thought Russ.
Another excellent video from you guys! Nice to see what has been going on out there 👍🌹😁
Just screen part of the porch where your swing is. Half open for grilling and half screened in for sitting.
Hi Russell, the STRAWBERRIES' will continue to put out runners (tendrils) so if you can plant in a large area they will just keep v multiplying. God bless you both
Screen the porch with a nice door so you be bugless!
I love the bugles.
Screen the whole porch first time or youll be doing it again later. Ive never seen a screen deter your vision. Dont put panels, just run your screening and tack it tightly around your porch then put up a light door. You can do it all yourself
Screen in the whole porch & put a door in front!! Had one in Louisiana and it was fabulous!!😊
Another great video , sorry I had to laugh when you were having one of those days , and the way you said the spider web catcher is in the perfect position to grab the branches and wet me even more. Thanks for sharing your life guys you bring joy to others
You forgot to tell us more about the dishwasher 😜 already looking forwards to the next vid ♥️
I think life is wonderful, however, to expect everyone to think your life is the best is extremely hard work and I know you already know that. But keep doing what you do as we all have lives to live but it is always interesting to watch someone else's. Keep on doing your great work, we all enjoy it.Thanks for your efforts we enjoy them all.
Build your screen in closure and buy one of those magnetic screen doors and use that as your doorway.
Have a fun weekend! Garden is doing fabulous‼️
I would build the glider screen .
Four months of fighting bugs! I think you shud screen in the entire porch-screening in that swing will take up too much space. That way you can enjoy that amazing view anytime. Do it for city girl and the 🐶 🐶 !
Good to see y’all ❤
for a screened in section, you might be better off screening in the side of the deck where the swing seat is, that or, look into "cafe blinds" that are mesh, and can be retracted as needed.
Mosquito netting with magnets sewn in to seal door that way you can throw in bag when the bugs are not out and dont need it up.
Hey Russ!, glad your still with us !, thought most northern canadians see life through little tny squares !!?lol , mossie nets best , look forward to seeing the Russ solution !, Respect ❤
Whoa! Raspberry Rock Garden 2.0!!! It is looking so good! ❤ Err...why is there a saw propped up in the kitchen 🤔 Hmmm...you guys are making me hungry for natchos at 7:50am! Lol!!! This looks great. I may make this tonight! Have a wonderful weekend! Peaaaaaa soup!
Buy a tent. Insert rocker. Upside: You now have a guest room when not in use as a bug screen.
Russell it's too bad you had that blow out with your front left tire. I noticed that your front and back bumpers are all rust, maybe you should have them looked and cleaned up, before they fall off of your truck, and when you get the spare tire off, put some "Anti-sieze" on the bolts for your spare tire before you mount it back on the the rear door!
it probably to costly but I would think about screening the whole deck i enjoy your videos Russel keep up the good job
Glad to see you back
The nachos look yummy!
Hope you’ve been keeping cool up there! Heat index in SE Virginia is 112f today with 215% humidity…..
Man! Yall got more bugs up there than we do down south!
You can buy the net to go over the swing at Giant Tiger
Oh ur hair looks great...love the curls!!! 😊
I was thinking it looked like you went to 220 solar for that 18000 mini slit you got :-)?
So nice to see you both. Loved the video. Say hello to Willow and JuneBug for me. Maybe you can screen in 1/2 of the deck ?
Just a suggestion.
Get a wood bead seat cover for your old computer chair and return the new one. Cheers!
You need a spoon girl. Make cooking easier for you. I use a jar of the spicey cheese and heat it up then pour over chips. Then onions, lettuce, olives, whatever, salso next, then sour cream. Yum

Welcome back Russel! I missed you haha.
Forgot to mention I use net curtains on my conservatory door to stop insects coming in. So maybe use net curtains on the porch.
I am so glad to see you guys, welcome to your nice video for u+2 presents...............I love u guys.........Namaste
You brighten my day. Pea Soup 🕊
It would take more space then if u just screened in the whole thing but i ended up puting windows in mine & made it part of the house lol so what do i know lol good luck & god bless
Both, you're funny! Thanks! :-)
Great to have a video. Glad you are doing ok. Pea Soup!
Welcome back!
How much land do you have around the cabin 🤷🏼♂️❓
173 ACRES
Russ I seen if you burn Coffee grounds the flys and bug will leave you alone .. or screen in the porch and have a door by the steps
Welcome back
((UK SUB))
You all need a Bobcat to clear out your garden space! Lol..
Is the tire a retread?
Russell you need a weed wacker or brush hog....
👍 Love you guys, take care!
That chili makes great chili dogs too!
