I’m both the customer and the contractor in this scenario. Past Tyler is always messing things up for Current Tyler. The guy is the worst. Anyways, im happy to report that we are officially able to use our gutters now. If your house doesnt have proper drainage and downspouts, it can lead to moisture, foundation issues, water damage, etc. Learn from Current Tyler! #DIY #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #plumber #contractor #gutters #coppergutters #pa #renovation #customersbelike

This is weirdly the third time ive had to ask people to leave after catching them in our creek loading rocks into their car. I realize landscaping rocks are expensive, but maritime law states clearly that you cant steal rocks, even if theyre wet. #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #blacksmith #slag #ironforge #history #pa #pennsylvania #storytime #landscaping #beforeandafter

Weve never been able to find "off the shelf" curtains that fit our windows well, its just tough when nothing is square. I honestly thought that custom curtains would be wayy more expensive than they were from @UniCurt_curtains, these look and feel great! #curtains #unicurt #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #interiordesign #pa
Key takeaways: I owe @The Home Depot an apology for knocking over their display, the best way to DIY things is sometimes to just buy them, and @exhartgarden makes nice wind chimes. The DIY windchimes were going to be a mothers day gift for Lauren, which Ive now spoiled by posting this video, so I’ll have to come up with something else! #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #mothersday #windchime #upcycle #exhart #diyfail #oldhouse #renovation
These logs have seen some crap in their day. But the wood is dry, incredibly dense, and will be an awesome conversation piece once I figure out some way to incorporate it into a woodworking project. Renovating an old house definitely gives lots of opportunities to make something with these types of reclaimed materials! #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #outhouse #woodworking #treasurehunting #metaldetecting #treasure #pa #DIY
Dear New Zealand, thank you for insulating our house. Heres my pitch: wool doesnt retain moisture, is a comparable R value to other products, priced close to the commin premium insulation, isnt itchy, and is naturally fireproof. Literally wild to me that this isnt more popular. Its one of my favorite finds in our search for sustainable and renewable materials to use in our 1830s renovation project. I see it in tiny homes and vanlife stuff more than I do whole houses, what a shame! #wool #theforgehouse #oldhouse #havelock #havelockwool #newzealand #sheep #sheepoftiktok #remodel #beforeandafter #renovation #restoration #pennsylvania #stonehouse #renewable #sustainable

Pizza always tastes better on Fridays. Lauren and I both grew up with pizza Friday and we love sharing these traditions with our kids! It's even more fun when you make the pizza together! Do you have any family traditions like this? #pizza #pizzalover #pizzapizza #pizzatime #homemade #kitchen #kitchenhack #theforgehouse #theforgehousekitchen #cooking #cookingtips #friday #fridaynight #fridaypizza #oldhousetiktok #oldhouse #Foodie #foodie #foodtiktok
Key takeaway: no one knows how to parent, so dont follow my advice. My opinion on screen time: its 2024, every job ive ever had requires all day screen time, and they might as well get comfy with it. That said, I do want them to limit their exposure while theyre developing their brains, and theres so much other than tv to explore and learn. Basically, I want to limit things a bit, ideally in a way thay normalizes electronics as a pwrt of daily life, but provides even more fun alternatives. All the smart plugs I looked at had some kind of button to turn them on and off which defeats the purpose, so this is a little extra. Im sure all of these perspectives are wrong and this is horrible advice, so you are 100% able to ignore it. #theforgehouse #pa #parenting #screentime #oldhouse #ouroldhouse #dadlife #dadjokes #housetour #playroom #shelly #smarthome #smartrelay
