I’m Gonna Go Under The House (This Old Dean House)

In the spirit of “I’d never ask anyone to do for me what I’m unwilling to do myself” I decided I’m going to go under the house. I got all suited up for entry into the tiny (very tiny) crawl space door and go under our 130 year old house. I’m doing this BEFORE the …

Removing 900 Pounds Of Old Carpet (This Old Dean House)

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 …

This Old Dean House – Indoor Renovation List

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 …

This Old Dean House – What Happened To The Barndo?

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 …

This Old Dean House – We Bought A 130 Year Old House

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 …

This Old Dean House – Selling The Condo and Moving Into An Apartment

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) …

Relaxing Around Hilton Head, South Carolina

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 …

Volunteer Tomatoes (DeanoFarms – Week 105-115)

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 …
