Hey, to fix the things-falling-off-shelves issue, have you considered museum putty or museum gel? They are removable object-safe substances that work wonderfully to keep knickknacks from falling over- and the transparent gel is very useful if you have any glassware or small objects that wont hide the putty so well. I use it in my miniatures and i cant recommend it enough.

@DrachenGothik666 Жыл бұрын

There's another stuff called "Earthquake Putty" that does the same thing. It isn't transparent, but it does the same job. Museums and households all over the country use it. It's non-staining. We live in California and we mount down fragile, decorative objects that are high up on tall furniture.

The mushrooms are the most shocking to me out of all of them. I have lived in my native NYC 46 years out of my entire 56 years of life and I have lived in many different apartments over the decades. But I have never witnessed mushrooms growing out of the walls and ceilings. Plenty of mold issues? Yes. Ceilings crashing down due to flooding and burst pipes? Absolutely. Very old rusty pipes leaking and staining the white walls and white tub yellow? Yep, had that issue for 7 years in our current place before maintenance finally replaced the pipes. Large clump of dirt flowing up through the pipes into all the bathrooms in the building everytime it rained hard outside? We use to have that problem for decades in the projects. But mushrooms??! THAT is an absolutely new on me! I so feel for you. Just WOOOOOW! 🍄😳🤯😱🙊

That's a problem here when you are dealing with slumlords or city owned low income housing that have really bad maintenance. I have been lucky enough to have never lived in one that got that bad. But the mushrooms are still new to me. Never seen that one before. LOL! 😉😊

On the pumpkin tools: You should be picking light-colored pumpkins because the skin is thinner, and you should cut the bottom of the pumpkin instead of the top so you can balance the thing easier after gutting and carving. My wife and I [mostly her] carve a dozen pumpkins every year for Halloween. Another option would be to make paper mache or get foam pumpkins. If you're 100% set on the darker pumpkins ['cause face it, they look great], grab some pottery tools and scrape out the inner walls of the pumpkin to thin them out where you're gonna carve after gutting. Also, painting white glue or Podge in the cut areas will make them last longer. :) Man, you really should consider moving the Lair to a new location. Getting out of the city would make filming so much easier!

Honestly when it comes to the blue beetles, you could make a horror wreath for a door or wall decoration. Even the bone fragments can be glued in to add a bit of morbid flair. If one project idea doesn't work, consider your options or get ideas from the community. When something turns out to be out of your skill range, figure out how to use the same materials in another DIY that is. That's how I feel better about failures.

Maybe it should be time for a new Lair of Voltaire. Having an apartment where no fungus grows would be a great thing, because it can't be particularly healthy to breathe in there!! And if he got a place with less noise, maybe we would be lucky to get more videos again. We all know New York prices are insane. But a new place would be incredibly inspiring. And provide many opportunities for new home making projects. And I think we would all love to see that. At least I know I would.

Hearing what you were planning to do with the bees and hearing how it didn't work made my brain immediately light up with all kinds of ideas for similar projects that changed the vibe just a little - From a recessed mount version to a velvet mounted skull with bee surrounds (Like a macabre heraldic shield). I understand that you may never go back to the Blue Bee Well due to the disappointment, because let's face it - when something disappoints you, that just kills the desire to work on it. But by telling us about it, even though it failed, I and I hope other people now get cool ideas for things to do with their own bees. A gap is a place for new things to grow. And also a place for Mushrooms to grow, rather annoyingly. I expected the bathroom to look way worse when you said it was a room of disasters, so you're doing great so far! So sad about the Chaise Lounge because it looked beautiful, and the lounge back still looks excellent - but the structural strut breaking like that is just a no-go for chairs. That fabric is so prone to rips though, so I can't say I'm surprised that it tore so quickly. I hope the next chair gets to have purple velvet or something a little more tear-resistant. Or that some dedicated Urban Scrumper comes and picks it up XD

Yup, I use a multilevel process: rubbing alcohol (at least 70%) & dabbing with bleach. The two are safe to use together & don't form nasty gases. Just dab or swab each stain, don't soak. It'll take off most of the dye & entirely remove the smallest spots. Larger ones will likely need stronger treatment. Swab gently with a dab of bleach & let sit for a few minutes. Allow one to dry first before you use the other.

Artfully arrange the pieces. It can still work. I know it. I often have to stop a project and pivot my idea to make it work. Sometimes it winds up better than my original plan. Nature is messy. Nature is vicious. Nature is Raw and Beautiful. Channel that into your shadow boxes.

Oh, lord, the traffic noises. I sympathize entirely. I live right off a main drag, and not too terribly far from the local fire station, so the sounds of squealing tires and revving engines from the wannabe street racers, and blaring sirens are just par for the course. Makes me glad I've never gotten it in my head to do any kind of filming here. Also, the "Yuppies! _...yuppies..."_ reaction to the chatter there made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe for a second...I _felt_ that one in my soul. Friggin' yuppies. Though the church bells seem like they'd be kinda atmospheric? Even if 4AM seems a little early to be ringing those things... >_> Also, just want to say that those are in fact Harley-Davidson "burps," if you talk to bikers.

It's nice to see someone you admire take their mistakes with grace and humour. As for Mr Orville Deadenbacher, you could make an episode where you channel your inner Dr Frankenstein and try to repair him?

The rat throw at the end was perfect.

Orville’s decomposed face just gives him more character! Keep him around 🥺

You slapping your camera with the skeleton hand made me laugh. Thank you for exisiting, Voltaire. Never stop being you.

Those mushrooms!!!😆 I was gasping and laughing actually out loud! This was so relatable especially about the sound. I live on a somewhat busy road in a small town where people make their cars loud on purpose. Soooo much footage of me looking annoyed waiting for a car going by. Clearly Mayumi is so patient because she loves you. 🖤💀🖤 Thanks for reminding us that perfect doesn’t exist and we’re all doing the best we can. RIP Orville.

I started watching your videos couple of years ago. I Love how especially the intro and the outro brings me back to this nostalgic feeling. It was just before halloween season and I was basicly "homeless" living in my friends half empty flat because she was moving in with her boyfriend atm and so she gave me a place to stay while searching for my own. Your videos gave me so much comfort and joy then while being completely alone and without home of my own. Thank you for that 🖤🖤🖤

If the bones of your furniture aren't of good and sturdy quality, there's no point bothering with the expense of reupholstering them. Such a shame as they look amazing

A camera and an idea with ambition and a heart full of creativity is all you really need my friend 🙌.

You're awesome Voltaire, first time I ever discovered you was on Adventure Quest Worlds over 10 years ago! (Time has gone by so fast) Your videos are also amazing. Thank you for everything you do!

Pro tip: Get a drywall saw from the hardware store to carve pumpkins! (And as a bonus, it can also cut drywall).

26:38 hearing Mayumi’s voice in Spanish is always a treat! Hahaha for some reason I feel like for us Latinos our voices tend to be deeper when speaking in Spanish and higher when speaking English ❤

Voltaire talking about being trapped in his apartment... this makes me anxious. Please have the door professionally trimmed... Just to be safe. 🥺💜🖤 I love your Gothic Homemaking videos. But, it makes me a little more sane to see it is a little more common to not get it right the first time. 😅 Oh my goodness, that wall paper is beautiful! I'm glad you were able to save it from the bathroom shrooms! 🖤🦇💜 Also, my husband wants a cool gothic throne, so THANK YOU for the tips!🖤💜
