 We pretty much all moved out a few last things to do. We've got to take away some garbage And we've got to come paint and clean this place Served us well So good morning everybody We're getting close to the day when we get back in old blue and get back on the road do some trucking But we have to say goodbye to our old house and we have to get a few more things done yet before we hit the road today, I'm taking away some garbage from here to the dump and Getting a few errands done. There's a old mattress and box spring and bed frame in our shed in the backyard I got to go take that away to the dump but in the meantime we can come in here and Say goodbye a little bit with you guys This has been a part of my vlogs I'm part of my life for three years now. We moved here in 2020 It's now 2023 we moved here because we wanted Theo really badly and Theo our son who's now seven months old is An IVF baby and the whole process said and done when everything was done. The whole thing was about $30,000 Canadian So it was it was expensive process to go through So we sold our big acreage We had a big acreage outside of town on the east side of town and around the Marchand area was way out in the Bush, it was a beautiful place We loved it, but it was quite a bit to take care of and quite expensive to maintain We ended up selling it. We made a good profit on it And we moved into this small house where our payments were very very low it was cheaper than rent in this little house and That made the IVF process possible for us at that time in our lives and it paid off because now we have our son So we're very thankful for this little house But it's time to move on and start Start building our lives Got a bigger house now. Well right now Let's focus on this house. So while we were here we put in this new 60 gallon hot water tank It's an electric hot water tank That water softener is still the same. We put in a new washer and dryer Underneath in the crawl space Beneath the house we put in a HVAC system to circulate the air and It's a dehumidifier as well in here We put in a new Bat tub and surround that's all brand new this year These blinds belong with the house. I'm gonna leave them here a lot of memories were made here This is the first home that Theo came home to So part of the condition of the sale was that we we took our dishwasher with us But we left the stove and the fridge and the microwave and our TV mounts came with us And that was our big wedding plaque wedding board mount there I patched up the holes already. All I gotta do is come back here today or tomorrow yet I'm gonna go out and get the paint today And then just paint that wall paint that wall and then Brit is gonna come in here give this place Nice good cleaning We'll be off. Oh, yeah, we put in new light fixtures too because there was ugly ugly light fixtures in here before We put those in that's new Come back here to the back of the house. We put in a new thermostat We also put in a new air conditioner Really overpriced air or not overpriced, but we paid a lot of money for a really good air conditioner Because it'd be like really good air conditioning. We spent too much money, but it was worth it It's a really good air conditioner out back the new owner now gets that Here's our master bedroom. I did paint this room. Oh, it's kind of dark in here right now We have the windows closed just to keep the sun rays and heat out Gotta come back to this plants yet, but I did paint this room Well, that's enough to paint this wall as well. That's where our TV mount was there Let me give you a wider angle. This room is too small for this angle There you go. Now you can see better We put in new curtains sold the curtains with the house sometimes people keep those we Sold them with the house and this was Thiel's nursery. There's a lot of Time and love and effort that went into this room But it's all all empty now Leaving our little tire rim fire pit there, and I got to get that bed out of that shed So let's go get that done I'll be back here one more time yet paint and touch things up maybe to help clean if I'm still home then I don't know if it's gonna clean now The new owner takes possession in about a week or so a Little bit more so we got some time to get this all done. I'm not gonna miss it On to bigger newer and better things Here is the yard Yeah, I think the new yard is both three times the size I think that's three of these maybe not quite maybe like two and a half Pretty close. Well, we put the fence up as well Right over there. There's that fancy air conditioner that we bought the Lennox So we'll blow out with the house stays Oh, yes, I have this lumber in here too. I want to take that Have some good hot quality lumber Okay, I think that's it Mess in here. Oh, it was these guys. Yeah, okay, those Want to clean this out of here? dirt I Think that's it. I think this time. That's it Double-check. No, that was already Yeah, this one was already I Anybody home dropped off the U-Haul Well, I just decoupled it. It's been married to my truck here for four days now It's good. It's nice to have little tiny enclosed trailer like that. Maybe I'll buy my own one day Not anytime soon, but that would be handy Alright, oh, I need to sweep this place out. Oh boy. It's time to clean this place now that all of our most of our stuff Is out of here most of us Look at all the space for activities So a little blue went in for a service at the shop. It's all ready to go Ready to go make some money. We're not leaving today yet though a couple more days I'm waiting for the guy who's doing our fence in the back there. We did that temporary fence I've told you this already right just to catch up the people who didn't watch we built a little four foot Let's correct that my dad built a Four-foot wall fence at the back of our yard just to close up the back fence because the back fence wasn't closed We have a professional fence guy coming Day after tomorrow, he's gonna give us he's already given us a quote And now he's gonna measure everything out and make sure he's got all the materials And then we're gonna decide on our date when that's gonna get done in spring We're waiting for that once that whole meeting is done and we got the thumbs up We're taking all blue We got to go make some money got to pay for all those new stuff we got Okay First you have to go get it from the shop. I guess I'm gonna do that later with Brit for now I just got to bring in that lumber that I Took from the shed there at the old place No, I just got rid of all that stuff in here. I'm already putting new stuff in to replace it You Probably saw these countertops in the background of that last shot there those are the we got three of those We had bought that to replace the counters in our old house We were gonna redo all of the counters, right? and then things changed now we have a new house and We need to find a purpose for those now it's too late to return them I don't really want to return them. We've got a really good deal on them and they're really nice So we'll find something to do with them maybe downstairs in Theo's playroom Once he's once he gets older. We're seriously considering homeschooling That's what we'd like to do as the time gets closer We'll see what our decision is but right now if it happened like if he's old enough right now We do homeschool. Maybe we'll build some desks at home Or for a school out of that. I don't know I think that That is something I can legitimately say I'm gonna use one day. We're gonna keep it in here and keep it warm and safe On the topic of homeschooling though. I'm very curious. I have a large audience. I like to pick your brains a little bit there Do any of you homeschool your kids and What do you think of it? How hard is it? We'd like to homeschool we would There's a big homeschooling community in our area here So the the common question you get is like, well, how will your kid get socialized, right? That's not an issue out here There's a huge network of homeschooling families who all get together all the time and it's almost like you go to school But your teachers or your mom and dad and not some person you don't know Teaching them who knows what in the schools, right? So you have absolute hands-on control of the information That's being presented to your child and how it's being presented, right? There is a curriculum. You have to follow obviously I understand that but You also get to spend The time teaching your own children that way We had a little bit of time yet. He was only seven months old. It's not like he's going to school tomorrow So we got some years to think about this yet But like I said, we're heavily heavily leaning towards homeschooling and we've got a lot to learn before that happens So we've got a few years to get that done and so my first step here is to ask other people who homeschool their kids How is it going for you? Let me know down below in the comments section if you homeschool your kid if you're comfortable sharing this stuff You don't if you don't feel obligated if you homeschool your kids. You don't want to talk about it That's fine. You don't have to comment down below, but if you do I'd really like to know how how you like it and you know Many tips and tricks anything I need to know so I'm guessing I mean this is Theo's playroom right now I'm thinking that If we did homeschooling this would probably become somewhat of a classroom, maybe I don't know We'll see when the time comes But it is a nice little room though. Hey, like a little bonus room at the end of the hallway It's really awesome. This is about the size of his nursery at our old house Now this is just his His spare room his other other room. He's seven months old. He has two rooms What a guy he's gonna have to share it with his siblings once they come. Hey guys Future Josh wrapping up the vlog again. I know trigger Josh you forgot to film it ending I know I hear you I Hear you up very often when I'm filming throughout the day at the end of my day Well, especially when I'm at home. Well, let's be honest even when I'm on the road Like I am right now. I'm back in old blue right now. I am in the future Let me tell you the future is exactly as you expected it to be. It's cold She raining Cold and rainy, but there's snow on the ground It's gonna be slippery But enough about that I can't reveal the future you'll have to find out for yourself very often I forget to film an end today when I'm at home. We have a routine that we have with Theo that No, the whole bedtime routine, you know, we get them ready for bed. We get him in this pajamas got changes diaper And then we read him a bedtime story. We give him his story. We give him his sorry I can't talk right now. We give we read him his bedtime story and and Give him his nighttime bottle and then we sort of rock him for a little while till he falls asleep And we will put him in his crib and we kiss him and we tell him we love him And that will see him in the morning and if I'm going on a trip in the morning I explained to him that You know, daddy's got to go on got to go to work tomorrow got to go on a trip But mommy will be here in the morning or if I'll be there in the morning I'll tell him, you know, daddy'll be here first thing in the morning because when I'm at home I'm on I'm on baby duty. I'm on feo duty. So whenever he decides to wake up in the morning it's me that goes and Goes and greets him. He's such a happy baby. He's so awesome. See he's all in the pictures all around me here He's so happy all the time. He's so perfect and I know every parent says that about their child But he really is he wakes up with such a big smile on his face every day And I miss him when I'm gone. I got to do what I got to do, right? I got to provide that is my purpose as my fan. That is my family And I've got a I've got to pay for the roof over the head. I've got to put food on the table That's what I even though it's hard very difficult Very very hard to say goodbye more than I'll ever admit I'm just admitting that it's hard right now, and I'll just tell you it's harder than that But I got to do what I got to do I'm just like you Got to pay for what we got But anyway, sometimes throughout this whole bedtime routine by the time that's all over I just Collapsed in bed and just go to bed because I know that he's gonna wake up much earlier than I want to wake up So I better get to bed as soon as I can because he's gonna be awake before I want to be awake Which means I'm gonna be awake also before I want to be awake And I didn't film event in the end of day.
