Our first chore in our old house was to get rid of all the carpet. It wasn’t as old as the house but it was definitely old. There was also a lot of it! Max helped me and took over the project (and my YouTube channel) until I got finished with some meetings. Molly and …

Just making the list of everything you want/need to do in the renovation/restoration of a 130+ year old house is a big job. Getting two people to agree on the list (and the order) is another big job. We already agreed on most things. Of course, we have completely different ideas in some places. We …

I don’t often let a project defeat me. But…sometimes…I stop being stubborn and let things be. With the Barndo project, there were too many things telling me the direction we were heading was the wrong direction. So, the This Old Dean House project took the slot of the Barndominium project. We are keeping the farm …

In a dramatic change of direction, we decided to buy a 130-year-old house. Things can change quickly around here! This all started because Emmaline didn’t want to sleep under our dining room table in our one-bedroom apartment (for Christmas). Fancy much?!? LOL! A few hours later I’d found us a new place…or…an old place! Everything …

We sold our condo back in August (thanks to realtor Jake) and moved into a one-bedroom apartment. That is what this video is about. Little did we know what the next video would be about. Our life took a big unexpected turn at the end of 2024. The DeanoRolls RV travel (and sometimes farm adventures) …

We visited Hilton Head, South Carolina, and took in a little resort life. We stayed at The Inn & Club at Harbour Town in The Sea Pines Resort. That sounds like a mouthful…a pretentious mouthful. LOL. Resort life is not our normal mode of travel. I noticed there seemed to be a lot of sleeping …

FREE BLTS! I did not want a tomato plant this year. But, the monster tomato plant I grew last year had other plans. So, I got a new plant from its seeds–volunteer tomatoes! I did almost nothing to help it but I still got a few BLTs out of it. It was a nice little …

Our trip to South Carolina was to check Congaree National Park off our national park list. It is a small national park but the spiders didn’t get that memo (hhuuuugggeeee). I was glad to have Emmaline with us because I’m an old fart and left my readers in the car so I couldn’t read the …
We toured 4 different plantations while in Charleston, SC. Each was very different. Middleton Place was my favorite property. It was immaculate. Deano’s got new yard goals! Magnolia had a more natural vibe. Boone Hall had the best driveway and felt like a movie set. My favorite tour in the entire city of Charleston was …
While in Charleston, we toured several historic homes. The entire city is covered with houses that are 200+ years old. We toured one restored home, one plantation home, and one preserved home (i.e., unrestored). Each was beautiful in different ways, and hearing the history of each was very interesting. As the tours unfolded, I realized …
