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! 😄

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!

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 ❤😊

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!

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!!!!

This is a whole new youtube channel idea. Remodeling channels are sooooo popular. To me anyway :). Flying Pig Homestead. Instant success! Most, if not all of your followers would follow both. Some of my favs. Vanwives, SimpleLivingAlaska, TheNewbys

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.

Is he excited or what ?🤣! So sweet! How wonderful for y’all. ♥️

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

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.

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.

OMG! What a fun adventure! You two are too cute! My husband and I would not survive such an adventure! Is it OK to live vicariously through your venture? Look forward to watching. This is stinking awesome!!!!

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

I too moved years ago because where I grew up was getting so busy and overcrowded. Love the simple life I have now. It changes the outlook on life and yourself I think.

Welcome to Maine 😊 We live in Piscataquis County, moved here 12 years ago and absolutely love the peace and quiet 😊

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!

i lived my whole life in PA except for the 8 years we bought a coastal house in Searsport, Maine. It is a wonderful place to live and we have wonderful memories of those years there. We moved back to PA when grandbabies were coming, etc. That looks like quite an adventure for your family.

You will make so many memories here. Can't wait to follow your journey. Happy thrifting. 😊

SO excited for you Dagny, Jimmy and Jenny!! My husband and I brought an old homestead house when we were in our 30's . (we are way older now) We had 3 small children and they have the best memories of that place. The house you brought looks way better than ours did. When we would run into a hard place working on it, we would just pray together and someone would show up to help us go a little further on. We are so thankful for those memories. God bless you in your new adventure! You will do great! 💓

Even when I was much younger, I had little interest in such huge diy projects as restoring an old house nor was I married to someone who had an interest or passion for such things. But because I was often fascinated by what goes into restoring old homes, though, I watched "This Old House" and then later other shows on HGTV for restoring/redoing/remodeling houses, both DIY & by professional contractors. I'm sure you already know what you're looking at....tons of work, lots of cash layout for supplies and not always a small amount of stress. But once it's done or you're well on your way...and if you're not trying to live in it while the work's being done, I'm sure it will be something you can be so proud of. I know I've sounded like a "Debbie Downer," but for those who are up for it, I'm sure it can be immensely satisfying. Best of luck to you both on this home restoring journey!

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

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.

I am so glad for the two of you can’t wait for more videos on the progress ❤❤❤

Congrats! I can’t wait to see the entire renovation on this.

I wish you health and strength to enjoy your new adventure! You have a vision and are taking steps to make it happen. Congratulations!

So exciting. Looking forward to this journey of yours

Super happy for you all! I hope your journey is as enjoyable as the final destination ... thx for always sharing. You're the best 😊💛

So exciting! What a sweet old home. It will be so great to wake up in the morning and make breakfast in that cute kitchen.

Congratulations, Dagny, Jenny & Jimmy! May you enjoy a long & happy life in Maine! Can't wait to see your adventures!

That’s fantastic Dagny. So happy for you. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

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

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 ❤❤❤

Oh, your new property sounds like such a wonderful adventure for all of you!! Congratulations and enjoy every moment!!

So exciting. Ironically my college roommate grew up in Maine & now lives in PA, near Carlisle.

Congratulations Dagny! I’m in neighboring New Hampshire, and New England is a special place. Welcome! Can’t wait to see the progress videos. Thanks for sharing this exciting life event with your followers.

I cant keep up with your excitement and correcting each other. Have fun

Fantastic so happy for you both. I can’t wait to see what you’ve done 🏠 😀

Lol...Jimmy is so giddy!

Congratulations to you and your clan!! Can't wait to see more. 👀👀

Congratulations on your home purchase and your new adventures in Maine. Looking forward to viewing your home renovation projects. So happy for you all.

So happy for you! What a lovely couple.

Wow! How exciting for the 3 of you!! Enjoy the adventure.

I am so excited to start this journey with your family. I have followed CLL for years and that was how I found you, when this popped up tonight I thought this would be so interesting to see all the progress you are making from beginning to end.i look forward to your next video!

Wow! This is so exciting! I hope you have fun figuring out what to do with it

Welcome to Maine! I hope that your new adventures in "the county" are fun and creative. I currently live in the Portland area, but lived in the Bangor area for about 20 years.

How exciting!!! I can’t wait to see the progress videos. Congratulations!

I am so jealous! I was born in Pennsylvania and I love it but was raised in florida along with my sister and two brothers. My grandparents started taking me to Maine when I was 11 and now I’m 78. Both my brothers have property in Maine now. My one brother lives full time and bought an old farmhouse with 115 acres and is in Patton. My other brother has a few acres on the coast and they just vacation there. Maine is my favorite state and I’m so excited for you and will enjoy watching your journey. I also love your thrifting videos. They are very relaxing and peaceful to watch! Bless you and your family!

I am so happy for you!!

Happy and excited to see everything goes!

Congrats and welcome to Maine! Lots of great thrift stores around the state!

So cool ! So happy for ya'll 😊

I'm excited to see this series ❤

How exciting for all of you

You have more energy than I have these days. Plus, I’m from New Hampshire all my life until we retire. We are now a bit south. Very mild winters. I love Maine in summer but winters are just to cold for me.

I'm excited for your new adventure.

I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to see the progression

Have you spent a winter in Maine yet? It can get interesting, but I think you’re both made of the “right stuff!’ That was always a project time for me as a native New Englander.

Wonderful news! I’m so happy for you! Can’t wait to see what’s been done!

How awesome for your family, Dagny ❤️🥰

Congratulations to you and your family, Dagny! I’m happy for you!

Are you officially a Maniac now? That’s what a friend from Maine refers to herself. 😂 Congratulations! Fun and challenging adventures ensue!

How exciting for you! And wise to do such an adventure while you’re young. I’m 71 in Wisconsin and still hope to visit Maine some day. I love the looks of it and the people seem down to earth. Except maybe Stephen King, he’s a bit quirky! But I do like his novels! 😅

Congratulations !! How fun for you guys!! Looking forward to riding along this new journey!!🩷🩷🩷

I am so happy for all or you. I know it's exciting and I got excited listening to y'all talk about it. Can't wait to see more of what it turns into.

Congrats Dagney, Jimmy, Jenny!! how exciting your new house in Maine!! If you didn't throw away the wall paper, Keep a small square of each to make small framed work as keeping the story of the house. I learned that from Benita Larson, she has a KZfaq channel and did that with an old house she bought in the country side. Would love to see the progress as it goes.

How cool!! My mom's family is from Maine. She and my grandmother grew up between Maine and Massachusetts. Also, one of my mom's oldest friends raised her family in Aroostook County. Some of the family lives closer to MA now, but they lived in Caribou for decades. One time we got lost going to their house and ended up at the Canadian border. My parents were like uh, I think we missed a turn somewhere... That was long before cell phones and GPS too. I can't wait to watch this series. I recently discovered and started watching a series from the KZfaqr, Shannon Makes, who is Canadian and bought a house in Canada that they are rehabbing too. She's doing the same thing where they bought the house a while ago and is showing some of the back footage now after they've made significantly more progress. She is a circus performer and "maker," so they're doing everything on a limited budget and while she's not a reseller, she is an avid thrifter.

This is wonderful! Happy and excited for you!

My husband and I just purchased 52 forest acres in the Upper Peninsula Michigan by Saint Ignace! We’ve been working on the land for a few months. We are in heaven!

Congratulations! It's beautiful up there and I'm sure your family will be happy. Can't wait to see the pictures and videos.

I look forward to going on this journey with you two!

My husband grew up in Stockholm, Maine!! We live in Southern Maine! But we just got back from visiting family up there! I always love being up there! It is beautiful!

Welcome to Maine!.....the way life should be. 🙂 The house is an oldie. Can't wait to see what you've done with her. 🙂

I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!

My husband is from Old Orchard Beach, Maine!! If you guys need to take a break and like lighthouses, there are several around the Portland area you can check out like Portland Lighthouse, Nubble Light and Two Lights state park! Congrats on your new adventure and look forward to your new series!!
