I love how you insert your sly sense of humor in your narratives. Well-done, Patchy

As a fellow Scotsman I love the banter George. Still playing catch up as only found your channel today but it is certainly enjoyable.

These videos are so cozy, they feel like a warm mug of tea

The mini muffins - hee hee! Junior too, great fun!

I like the line “partially filled the shelves with my clickbait awards”

[DecemberForge]

So kind of you to both put up a tree and replace the uncomfortable couch. I always appreciate how thoughtful and deliberate you are in this process. Wishing you health and blessings from Arkansas USA

I did not plan to watch the entire thing because if my adhd but your voice is entrancing

I love the dining table and the coffee table. Good choices. I like how much thought you put into decorating. One thing: the carpet in your new house is too small. The rule of thumb is that a carpet should be big enough to sit at least 6" under the front legs of your sofa. A carpet also is key in defining a space. A small carpet does not make a space look bigger, it makes it look smaller. Lastly, with your small carpet, you are forced to place your coffee table in the centre of it which makes it too far away for use, like a foot rest or picking up a drink.

Architect here. You’ve done a great job with your homes! A couple of tips: check dimensions very carefully before ordering furniture online. Photos often don’t give you a realistic sense of the size of the piece. Also, for your upholstered dining chairs I recommend a fabric protector like Scotch Guard to keep spills from staining the fabric.

03:03 cardboard boxes are usually made with recycled materials. Such materials would have been recovered from previous recycled cardboards as well. The material is adulterated yet still durable. For the vomit smell, if you live in a cold/wet environment or if the cardboards were stored in a humid container, the slightest moisture causes the re-re-recycled material to decay (though in a very very slow rate).

That green wall looks so nice and refreshing in a subtle way. it brings the outdoors in as well. You have created a lovely environment.

Regarding odiferous corrugated cardboard packaging. Higher quality boxes, like those used for moving (strong, long life span and minimal odor), tend to not have a strong foul odor. Recycling involves breaking down boxes and separating the cellulose fibers from the adhesives, not to mention the various processing chemicals and numerous possible contaminants (such as moulds, food residues, oils and degraded fiber). With each round of reprocessing the odors can compound. It’s likely that the unpleasant odor was caused by the box having a substantial portion of recycled material. Recovery processes strive to make the best product possible while also using recovered fiber. The down side is that some quality parameters are compromised - odor is one and structural strength can be another. To ensure strength, a certain portion of box fabrication comes from use of new/virgin fiber. More virgin material generally means higher cost and price to the company ordering boxes for packaging and shipping products.

I REALLY LIKE THE ROUND TABLE it brings in a lot of harmony

Your guests at the tiny house will definitely appreciate the comfier sofa - what a thoughtful thing to do. The face on Junior when seeing the snow is priceless and a t-shirt worthy 😂😂.

On an iPhone if you save a photo of a piece of furniture, you can tap on the object and it will lasso select it and give you the option to cut it out and paste it into another photo of your space. Not as fancy as virtual staging or augmented reality, but really helpful in a pinch. ✂️

My number 1 pet peeve with AirBnBs is uncomfortable couches (usually because they're sofa beds) so it's nice to see a host thinking about it.

[felinetherapy]

Lounges are always something you need to try out first. Good on you sending it back and thinking of your guests - not many people would do that.

[kerrywhimsey]

Another tip, especially for older homes, is to get the measurements of the doors to make sure the boxes/furniture will go through. I had to take part of the frame off once.

Seeing you and your mum sitting together made me smile :) I have a 28yo son, he's everything to me <3
