We Bought an Abandoned House in Northern Maine! Part 1

Jimmy and I bought an abandoned house in Northern Maine last year - today we sit down and share with you the story of how it came to be. At first I wasn't too keen on the idea, but a lot has changed since we first saw it. This is the first of many future videos that will follow our progress to making this abandoned house our home.

Welcome to Maine! We moved to the midcoast from Maryland almost 40 years ago and have never regretted it. It's a unique and special state for sure. Our house is about 180 years old now and we are only the 4th owners! It's challenging at times but so worth it. Having a reliable person to help is so amazing. Many of the contractors, plumbers, electricians here are so busy it can be hard to get work done. My husband plows snow in winter for 40 plus customers. We laugh about going from a shovel and progressing to a plow, same with our lawn mowers, heaters, generators, etc. Lol. As is happening everywhere, weather is changing and damaging storms are more frequent. A generator is a must these days!

Jimmy is so excited to let everyone know what you have and done. Enjoy it

So happy for you! We live in Western Maine but I work for the state and am in Aroostook county all the time. No matter where you live in Maine there is beauty! Welcome home. We also bought an abandoned farm house on 20 acres. 30 years later… we are still working on it!

We bought a property, 30 minutes from our current home, we turned it into a camping area, we have a bunkhouse, that we have been really working on the last 5 year's, we owned it now 20 year's this year, we have the Woodlands, and down the hill the Bay, it's the best of both worlds ❤😊

I have just bought an abandoned house too!
Must-have it two weeks!
It's a stone house with a river at the end of the garden going right across it very picturesque
I have some work to do to it...
But it's watertight!!!!

Well, you two wonderful people have your work cut out for you, but I totally envy you! What a lovely adventure! I am 81, live in a condo, and no longer can no longer consider taking on such a project; therefore, I will enjoy the fruits of your labor virtually as you help this little gem of a house to go through its metamorphasis...BTW, I am the "maman" to the "poupée" that you sold me...she travels around my house, and you never know where she will show up ... she currently is lounging on the TV equipment in front of me! 😄

Congratulations Jimmy, Dagny, Jenny and the fur babies. So happy for you all. Look forward to the progress and eventually starting your new adventure. Congratulations again.

Oh my goodness! Can’t decide if I’m envious or… thinking you’re nuts. 🤭 But the journey will definitely be fun—both to watch and for you to undergo!
And it’s fun to see how excited Jimmy is already.

Welcome to Northern Maine. We lived in Carlisle Pa for
30 plus years. We bought a small 1 room cabin in Island Falls Maine. We live in Maine now. Simple, quiet and woods surround us. It’s a beautiful place to live. Since living here we have added on many rooms. Best wishes to you all.

Nicole Curtis (The Rehab Addict) redid her grandparents house a few years ago. The hunting scene paneling was in their family room!
Congrats on the new house and looking forward to the videos
❤❤❤

It is good to see you so excited about this new venture. Thanks for letting us follow along.

[TheReevestwin]

Congratulations to you both! I just love these two precious people!💕

So happy for you all. The Ball jars are made in my state Indiana. The one with the wire bale takes a glass lid. The big one with the measurements is a newer jar. My best friend's mother was the operator at the Ball plant in the 60's.

Looking forward to seeing this chapter of your life’s lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

[ellencassidy]

This is So cool! All that paneling is how my house was. Paint makes a huge difference. I love that knotty pine kitchen with that stove. People collect them now. Best wishes.

[CathleenSanvile]

Congratulations! I love your excitement. You’re both beaming. Can’t wait to see your progress ❤️

[sineaddavidson]

You guys are amazing together.
Good luck with the new house

Welcome to Aroostook! I’m in Northern Maine as well. About an hour north of Houlton. Raised in southern Maine, grateful to be in the quiet of Northern Me. Enjoy. Stephanie

If that front vestibule paneling is in good shape I’d keep it! Your stove is like the one I had in my first apartment! Many moons ago! It was gas - lived it!
Also put down a vapor barrier on that dirt floor! Radon is a real thing!
