 This is a greenhouse and this is a yoga studio and this is me I can't even touch my toes and that is why we are gonna build a yoga studio in our greenhouse in our own backyard Well, I'd be able to touch my toes after this Probably not there's more to building a yoga studio in a greenhouse than just not being able to touch my toes Let me tell you a little story My friends play this game called the bag game where a brown paper bag keeps getting smaller and smaller And you need to pick it up with your mouth sound silly, but it's fun. Well, I think I've never actually participated in it Even as a child I got exempt from sitting cross-legged on the carpet at school because my hips just can't pretty sad, right? So from now and until this video comes out I am going to commit to doing yoga every single day in hopes that I'm going to be able to touch my toes and improve my Flexibility. This is our cabin in the woods when we moved here. It looked like this There are challenges and successes each week as we renovate this 15 acres into our dream homestead Let's begin. Come on better clap. Let's begin. Love it. Hi first We need to remove this pond. We need a lot more space and after realizing how this greenhouse works in our climate We have learned we do not need it icky wicky pond. Look at that icky wicky stinky pond Oh my goodness The purpose of the pond is to store thermal energy Sunlight warms the water during the day and at night when the temperature drops excess heat is released from the pond Into the air the first reason why I believe we don't need the pond is because we live in Nova Scotia near the ocean And there's so much moisture and humidity in this province ask anyone who lives here The second reason is is because we have supplemental heat and lastly we ran water to the greenhouse So we have a hose in here and we are gonna be setting up irrigation. We're gonna make the dome Multi-purpose we're gonna have an amazing hangout and yoga studio in here, and I can't wait to show you what we do Do it it's gonna transform It's like 10 degrees outside, and it's 28 in here. It is so hot It's nearly tropical We definitely did the right location because the sun is heating this place We are crushing it the pond is nearly gone It took us a full day to build it and only half an hour to 40 minutes to get it out so Feeling good about it. It's a beautiful space It's gonna be amazing, and I can't wait to show you what we're gonna do with it in just a few minutes Now we need to build our garden bed walls. Okay, let's go get some lumber Welcome to the lumber yard What have we got here? We got some milk, but even if we don't have that same thickness We can use like those thin boards. That's what I'm thinking. Why not, right? Why not? You love the mulch What are you doing? What are you doing? We built a wall All this space for activity. Look at that. You're gonna have a dance party right here. Oh my gosh We're not building a yoga studio. We're building a dancing pad dance dance revolution Make sure you're really good at that game. Holy shit. Holy shit. I'm getting crystal sick Yeah, you haven't figured it out. What do you have on the end of that line? Whoa Have you ever fished before? I Used to go to Derby's, baby. You definitely didn't participate. You were in the stance. I was definitely at the concession stand Eat, no, the hot dogs. Oh my gosh, we should have a fire today and have roasted dogs Um, so now I don't eat the whole pack on Crystal and I like I don't know if every day We both ate a full pack of hot dogs each Together at the fire. It was funny. No battery Crystal, this is why I said I don't like going back and forth and this is What better way to measure then with a yoga mat She took a post No, a yoga pose Also like how on-demand was that? Not gonna lie y'all we designed this deck last year. We plan to build it be for the winter LOL so ambitious as we make our measurements and prepare the base of the deck We can't wait to transform this space. This greenhouse will not only extend the growing season But will also be a warm oasis to retreat to okay Because this is a unique looking deck as we're building it in this geodesic dome Obviously, we're gonna have a lot of measurements and a lot of cuts because we need to build the base of the deck And we're building it out of two by eight pressure-treated wood as we wanted to feel like we were stepping up into this space Also just keeps it nice and clean. I mean for two minutes until we wear our boots on here Let's be in real. I'm very happy I've been dreaming of this greenhouse makeover all winter like Justin said We've had these materials sitting in the garage for so long. It's gonna be so nice when this is oh my gosh I'm gonna send too much time in here. Honestly. I'm gonna touch my toes. You're gonna learn to touch your toes Get those little toesies to the fingers Crystal brains Level there you go. Oh someone brought the chair Well, no works getting done now, and I'm already enjoying eating on the deck. We're pulling it all the snacks right now dangerous We've now cut all of our joists, which are gonna lay this way We're just gonna put those in with framing nails as it is a floating deck I'm not gonna use joist hangers in this because I don't think it's necessary at all Let's start by putting one piece down Leveling it with the material we have because we will need some and then we'll keep going and if we have too much Then we'll start to take it out this type of deck building is actually super super fun Because it's on the ground. It's super easy. You just it's a floating deck. I just said that yeah It's like whichever gonna build it's like super simple design the project I've had the most fun building would have been the deck build last year and it was even snowing and hailing and sunny and rainy No But it was my favorite time So we're gonna have a lot of fun building this and I think we are in need of a yoga sesh All the way out here in the woods being so sick. We need some AG one I wish I was healthy right now being sick is not fun not fun, but at least I know I'm getting on my 75 vitamins minerals nutrients and Whole food source ingredients cuz to be honest I do not feel like eating food right now Never why and because you're getting sick and this is bringing me back to health Thank you AG one for sponsoring this week's video and all you need to do is add eight ounces of water into here one scoop Shake it up and what bam you are insured for the day We have been drinking AG one for years three years And I couldn't recommend it more to anyone. It is seriously life in a bottle And for those who are wondering it is subtly sweet. It is delicious prove it tastes good I didn't make any sort of face.

There's nothing better. It's the best combo anyone strong deck We are flying at putting all the joists on every 16 inches Dingle bangle bongo. What's going to be tricky is all of these angles our deck is going to have in it Last joy little level level We are going to waste I Don't know if I can say it wasting time, but we are going to spend a lot of time Figuring out the angles to only add this much extra space the great debate of what we should do I personally want to just build a rectangle deck with long decking boards And then I want to build extra planting beds on the side Imagine just doing yoga. Well, first of all, imagine just doing yoga in a greenhouse. That is absolutely like wow But then imagine doing yoga and peppermint just or eucalyptus or lavender Literally at your nose when you are doing Child's pose. I don't know. I'm kind of into it, but I'm not sure if the partner in crime is into it. Oh, oh my gosh Almost just died I stepped on that thing it went in my face. You got to watch that bag. Oh That was close. Okay, biggie. What do you think? Rectangle deck. I don't know how to figure So rectangle deck She's the boss or she says yes, I'm gonna be have a girl rectangle dick We might have to I don't even think it's that great of a debate. I think you're on my side now You weren't earlier on my side. You were like no way me you're cutting angles more food though crystal remember gardening Remember garden. I know lavender Think about that child's pose. Yeah, that's plenty of space downward dog We've added these supports so that way the Joyce don't bevel I can be my government. We've added these supports with a Joyce. I have a radio voice right now. Don't I? You're now listening to This is like a high traffic area for Yo stars very happy with the decision with all my deck building knowledge, which is I've built one deck I've realized you can never over construct a deck. You can only under construct one boogie's getting sick now in this boogie's battery. Oh, wow One good thing about this project is still disaster, but look it's really bad But we are making a pathway now small wins at the van wives household small wins and it's decking time Whoo on the first decking board We're gonna go with a nice angle You're gonna see it and you don't want it to look like trash Having our own yoga studio in the greenhouse is going to give us our favorite type of yoga Which is hot yoga as you can see I'm sweating right now doors open and it's 30 degrees in here So imagine if we keep the door shut. Oh my gosh, it's gonna be amazing And we live over an hour if we wanted to go to any sort of gym yoga place So having this in her own backyard is seriously. It's leaving me speechless to be honest I am so happy to have it. That's what we meant by we're gonna bring the board as far as we can not this piece of wood Let's not think similar. It's gonna go across like that So then That would be a planter and this would be the yoga studio Will it fit shit girl? You're good. Hey, okay Last piece. Jenga Oh, I colored on it. That's okay. Oh my god, you are the biggest perfectionist I've ever accurate my life Done We got thumbs up again. I've done so many thumbs up in this video. I should probably give us one more. I'll give you two Four Quite the bad you made is eating the mulch. That's so nice That's a nice spot girl You like it here. Wow, you really make beds anywhere you go. Look how perfect it is Look at this Right around that looks so comfortable. I would sleep there wizard Yeah, girl crushing it Welcome As we finished filling our new garden beds topped off with manure and a quick test of the dance floor We are nearing the completion of the greenhouse transformation and one step closer to our own yoga studio This deck has transformed the greenhouse It's exactly what I dreamt of and more really because of the garden beds, too It's extra growing space. I never want to leave when I come in here and now We have a place to hang out here when we come in. That's more than a seat We can use it like Jocelyn said to work out and just to lounge and read a book and it'll be very very nice space to use I love it. I love it a lot. This is just the start of deck building this summer. I'd say it's a perfect one to start with Look how nice it is. It's so beautiful. I wish you could all smell it too Nothing says summer like a duck and Cheers everyone Cheers, it's summer, baby One thing led to another and sitting down turned into lying down and well we fell asleep That was until we woke up to a lick in the face All right, I woke up if you're an observant person You'll notice that there's a few different things in this greenhouse like Plug electricity box plug and that's because we have been busy the last couple of days So we're going to catch you up right now on all the changes that have happened Our electrician Adam arrived to replace our faulty battery Allowing us to make use of all of our battery banks We then installed power outlets in the greenhouse and now our electrical system is complete this yoga studio and greenhouse I'm gonna think of a name for it. So for now We're just gonna Well, you know, it's five o'clock Well, not only has it caught up with Jasmine, but me too We're having chef who tonight and my energy is completely dropping chef. Woo. Woo So good. It is so so good 20 grams of protein in here Mama Good girl You're probably saying you girls should be eating better food while you're sick and you're right Probably should but there's 20 grams of protein in there, but when you're sick No one wants to cook or eat am I right or eat so what I've never been more confident in this decision I'm extremely excited How about you is he you excited we're all excited. Oh my goodness Strap the hell of the time This is my absolute favorite place on earth Great tweet. I think we built a sleep deck not a yoga deck The energizer bunnies ran out of battery Just kidding getting charged up right now by the we definitely we definitely did it, but It's just Sometimes your body says slow down. It's kind of ironic that we're Planting all this good food that helps like heal you and nourish your body And we're like building a yoga deck for like self-care and to stretch and Increase flexibility and help our muscles our focus I'm just so happy we got it done, too No, but I'm good for the irony that we're sick and like doing all this stuff in the space is true It's just reminding us to be like Please slow down girls your bodies need you to slow down now. We just got so hyped that the Sun was out I think we were we went so hard. Oh my gosh. You're so right. I didn't even think about that We went so hard. I haven't even like reflected the last like two to three four weeks have been like a complete blur You've been a tractor like some of you and you were you've been really sick last few days And I know I'm getting it now. Yeah, so now you're in for a treat. Anyway, we'll just take it slow right now and Keep closing your eyes and then ten minutes Maybe we'll get back up After a day of rest to recover our sick bodies We continue to care for ourselves through movement and with a warm and vibrant greenhouse. We roll out our mats for the first time Not gonna lie. I've been a little embarrassed on my lack of flexibility This is how much I can cross my legs Like they don't go down. It is very painful even to sit here in my hips and everything I'm pretty close. You are pretty close, but it hurts like and I don't think it should I can touch for like one second But I want to be able to like touch, you know day one Look at her legs compared to mine around as we engage in the dance of movement our muscles stretch Elongate and regain their vitality we connect to our bodies and our breath and in this very moment We are where our feet are we are present with ourselves and each other One day of yoga became two and two days became seven every day. We show up to our mats We reconnect with ourselves care for our bodies and we inch closer to our goal This greenhouse is a special sanctuary for us the presence of greenery and the warmth of the Sun makes for the perfect Noasis to stretch and care for ourselves and maybe even touch our toes But the real question can I play the bad game looks like I got to keep practicing a little pretzel
