    • You may be able to find a company that unblocks drains to help with the flooded yard - they will have the equipment and the know how as to where to look for them (if the seller doesn’t know the location) - assuming they hopefully exist. Hope it doesn’t rain anymore - fingers crossed for you. Otherwise you may be out digging a trench 😮

  • LOVE your kitchen organization. I personally wouldn't keep cleaning supplies next to the food, but you know if it makes the most sense for your home. About the water - get a consultation about drainage ASAP! We had French drains at our old house that would drain water out to the street during storms. Getting them installed was WAY cheaper than paying to repair flood damage (about $300 per drain in my area 10 years ago). Also, check the basement for signs of previous water damage, around the doors, the baseboards, etc. Also, buy some sandbags to line around where water might try to come in in the future. In the meantime, enjoy the lakefront views!

  • About the “lake” in your yard. You might have a high groundwater table which would result in even small amounts of precipitation causing the pool of water. Are your neighbors dealing with the same issue? Otherwise your yard might be the catchment area of the surface runoff if it is located in a valley. Very interested to hear updates about this.

  • Your yard is amazing. You may want to consider a "dry creek bed" landscape for your back yard. The way I've seen it done is that you landscape your yard like the water is there all the time, except put nice looking rocks and gravel in to make it look like a dry creek bed when the water is not there. Add hearty plants like rushes and cattails, and not only does it look good when the water isn't there, it saves on mowing and maintaining a yard full of grass, which IMHO is a waste of time and resources. I'm sure there are videos out there that explains this better than I am, but done well it really looks nice. Hope that helps!

The bedroom was my sanctuary at the end of the day. A shower and sleep on clean sheets restored me. The kids always bunked in the living room and "camped". The next day I would unpack the kitchen and bath. The third day was the kids' rooms, and then the rest of the house. I must say I do not miss moving! Lol

My husband and I are moving into our "death house" (cause he says he'll die in this house cause he's not moving again) in a couple of months and I know your current videos will be such a help. Thanks, Cas! And congratulations. P.S. You might want to get a landscaper to design a dry creek farther away from your house. They are very pretty, dry in dry weather, but run like a creek in wet weather. The point is it will redirect the water.

  • Congratulations on your New Home and the fastest most efficient Kitchen organisation I have ever seen! 😃👏 Your home is beautiful, and either getting the soakaways/French drains cleared (or installed, which you could do yourselves) would definitely help your garden! If you still have water after that build a pond or natural swimming pool with a stream to divert the runoff away from your Gorgeous Home! And willows will dry out the water too but don’t plant too close to the house foundations! On a side note I have never seen ANY mean spirited comments before on this channel, all this weird pettiness shows is jealousy because you have a lovely new Home (and very well deserved). Being jealous just pushes abundance away from you ladies, it’s the opposite of manifesting, something to consider. Especially as Cas said she had issues of feeling undeserving of her lovely new home in her last podcast. Let’s support her and give her encouragement so she knows her worth keeps wanting to make us all free videos! Well done Cas, and that was so interesting hearing your thought process as to why each thing goes where! 😃💖

    • Resorting to classifying any critical comment as jealousness is lame and lazy. I have my own "dream" house. I don't like how she says she's going to have people see her on a shoestring budget changes. We'll just look at her craft room. Min $2000 of elfa organization products. Ironic that she simulatenously calls velvet hangers expensive. If she wants to say that ok she's getting expensive container store stuff free because of sponcon fine, but let's not pretend she is on a shoestring budget or cheap. She also churns cheap decor, which is not frugality. (And as someone paying retail for container store, not doing sponcon, I do think their stuff is high-quality and worth the money. But I am not delusional enough to tell myself the $764 after 35% off I just spent on a laundry room wall with the cheapest elfa components is shoestring.)

  • My husband was active duty for 23 years, so we did our fair share of moving over the years. The kitchen was ALWAYS the first room I tackled! Our last move was quite interesting: I was leaving on a three week business trip two days after our household goods were delivered. I got the kitchen unpacked and organized, packed my suitcase, and headed to the airport. When I finally made it back home, I had no idea where anything was except for my kitchen stuff 😂

  • Tip for deep cabinets that are also high up. I think baskets are also a great solution. Store cook books, travel mugs/ tumblers/water bottles. These would get lost in the back before but now it's easy to pull the basket down- get what I need and put it back up

The angry door slam was great!😂 Joe is definitely wrong about organizing the kitchen first. You did the right thing, otherwise, everyone will be yelling, "Mom, where are the cups, cutlery, plates, snacks etc." We set up the kitchen and beds with bedding first and one bathroom. It worked out so much better! I love how you organized your kitchen and pantry! It's beautiful! I'm excited to see how you organize the rest of your home! Its beautiful!

I think the reason we all love you is you are constantly telling us that you were/are a bit lazy and used to be totally disorganized years ago. But you give us hope because YOU are the improved person WE can see ourselves to be. We see it is possible. (And I love your end stories. Please don't ever quit doing those). Best wishes to you and your family in your new home! ❤❤

  • Congratulations on your new home! So fun and lovely! You’ll need to regrade and raise the backyard. My hubby did that at our home as the creek behind us would turn our yard into a lake just as yours! He raised the backyard 3 feet! It took many dump trucks of fill (which you can find online or at nearby construction projects for free!) and then he hired a bobcat and driver who spread it all! Or find an irrigation specialist to redirect the water further out your property. Good luck!

  • Loveeee the kitchen organization! It makes me rethink how mine is, and I notice that some things aren't as good as I'd like... To be continued... 😅 Also, for the backyard: have a seasoned landscaper (or other pro) come in and assess some things: water table depth, water runoff inlets/outlets, do you need/can you have drainage tiles instlled, etc... We have a super high water table (our subpump runs constantly). We have a hickenbottom and tile running through the backyard to the ditch to help. (We are farmers though, so do the work ourselves lol) good luck!!!

Take pictures, from every angle and when busy season is here you need a whole landscaping project but you need to show pictures to the professionals. That is big time trenching with excavator Sump pump, maybe not only one, so many sump pump for sure. And the basement, nothing on the floor. No boxes, no cables, everything lifted, only big furniture. Dream space for a roomba. Love the kitchen

  • I would think if you are decluttered and organized in your old home, unpacking and organizing the new kitchen will be be a “breeze” when unpacking. Once you start decanting, you don’t want to stop. Thank you for the measuring cup idea.

    • I don't understand the decanting thing. why move something from one container to another? I'm just beginning my process, and i want to understand intellectually why this is a popular thing to do. Not opposed for certain! For example why move spaghetti from the box to a container? Is it preservation? if you reply thanks for your time!

      @trinadawn4166@trinadawn41668 ай бұрын
    • @@trinadawn4166 Preservation is most definitely primary but using the same size container to store food products means that same container is probably taking up a smaller footprint in your pantry until you have to replace it. Being able to see what the remainder is in the container is so much more convenient than having to open boxes and bags when creating the shopping list. One last thing, you don’t need to be concerned about bugs getting into your food.

  • First, this is absolutely fantastic! I’m so happy for you!!! Now, about this decanting. Ugh. I’m not a decanter because it’s insanely inefficient and frustrating. You decanted your olive oil and STILL have the bottle of olive oil. That goes in an alternate location, causing olive oil to take up more space than it has a right to. PLUS, you have to remember to refill the fancy bottle and be sure to rotate new stock coming in (which, admittedly, is easier for oil than for some other things) and my brain just can’t keep all that straight. Know what I mean? Too much attention to my household inventory 😅

That means I get interesting and beautiful hand-me-downs of all kinds. Things very similar to your adorable rock salt shaver set. Something I have learned from having all of these nifty tools is that cooking is a lot more delightful when your tools give you a dopamine rush. Not everything she gives me is useful but I have been pleasantly surprised by the majority of these tools. Plus, my kitchen is full of personality.

He sounded doubtful that I could do it, but I will be decluttering at the same time and I have a plan in mind! Love it Cas! Congrats and also, don’t wait to do something about ensuring that your home doesn’t flood before it’s too late. If that was a little rain, I can’t imagine what a lot will look like. See if there is an area you could dig out a pond maybe and then use the soil to creat a berm close to the house, then plant TONS of trees down there closer to the river. Water loving ones. They will help hold the soil in place and suck up the water when you get lots of rain.
