The New York House...
Added 2019-12-12 23:15:48 +0000 UTCSo crackers! I flew with my Mom to that incredible property in Auburn New York because It just seemed so perfect and I couldn't stop thinking about it...
Well shoot...it's got a little more damage than I was anticipating and my Mom (who's usually up for just about any challenge) was worried about privacy and safety as it is right in the middle of the city ':/
The house is insanely beautiful, with ornate gothic wood and metal work and so much potential. I just was doing the math on what it would cost to bring back and factored in the restrictions on my time and think I should keep looking for something a little more manageable for me and fun for you! (I could just see myself trying to make episodes with one hand, while plugging a hole in the ceiling with the other! )
I hope you all like being kept in the loop on this search... I'll find the right one soon and can't tell you how much I appreciate being tagged in potential houses :D
On a side note... does anyone know what kind of spider this is? He's so beautiful and I'm sad we never got to know one another :(

If you go to picture 33 of that listing, they show a bedroom with purple walls, a fireplace, a cat door, and a urinal! How perfect for a cat man with urinary problems! Houses now are rarely quite this customized.

2020-04-10 19:21:22 +0000 UTCKristine, I can't believe you passed on the Seymour mansion!! Whuttttt???? This would be a great fundraising vehicle, I think you could raise to money to fix the structural issues, also through GoFund me. I am just getting into your Patreon world, honestly you are the best show on Youtube. What if you tried to raise the money?? You could also start a nonprofit 501C3 or something like that and once you get the place built give something back by using the space somehow for some phillanthropy? Anyway, this house needs you!!!! And it is haunted. Is it too late?

2019-12-16 20:41:01 +0000 UTCForgot to mention that area of NJ/PA is just over an hour to both NYC and Philadelphia so perfectly easy to have amazing big city times but still enjoy rural living. I live in Maine now, still getting used to it. Also a cool place just a bit expensive and hard to get good paying steady work depending on your field. With your Patreon you have the luxury to live anywhere! Put some thought to island life in Maine...

2019-12-16 20:00:05 +0000 UTCFirst of all THANK YOU for mentioning Gunship! Whoa are they awesome, and their videos make the songs even more amazing. Love the 80s synth Brit pop feel but it’s so now too. And in your livestream you started to mention New Jersey as an option for your search maybe? I say check it out. The whole state is INTO Halloween big time. I lived in Milford (tiny quaint river town surrounded by hills and farmland and rivers) for 6 years and loved it. Western Hunterdon county is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and is dotted with adorable old walkable towns and neat old houses. Howmever do beware the property taxes, they can be quite ridiculous. Upper Bucks county Pennsylvania is in the same gorgeous rolling country but in PA with gentler taxes but beware the Delaware River flooding potential.

2019-12-14 17:10:21 +0000 UTCYes! The genus Argiope are all orbweavers that make those giant, beautiful webs! 😊 If you google "Argiope webs" there's some neat webs to see! They do this cool zig-zag pattern in the center of webs to stabilize it and it's crazy to think what nature can craftily do LOLOL Anywho sorry, I could blah all day about these guys 😅

Kylie Miller
2019-12-14 13:50:54 +0000 UTCAw that’s no good! But I completely understand your mom’s concerns. My family is doing the same thing and we keep running into similar things. On a slightly different note, have you ever heard of Alton, Illinois? “America’s most haunted small town” has some beautiful old homes and a lot of them overlook the Mississippi River. It’s not back east, but we have some very pretty seasons in southern Illinois too. I’ve seen a few that made your house hunt come to mind.

2019-12-14 05:53:27 +0000 UTCThe hunt is the fun part and there are sooo many amazing properties. We flew to PA to see one off that website and I fell in love on the spot but my husband wasnt convinced. I keep wondering it would be like if we lived there (it was an old camp lodge with a little cabin restored out back plus the cook house was restored as a wood shop and massage studio. It had 10 acres and was right off the Appalachian trail and near Gettysburg. Also took a trip to Tx to see an old Brick school, had an inspection and everything but the roof was so bad and I couldnt find any roofer to even want to touch it, finally got an estimate on a new roof and it was 3 times the price of the school. So I understand some are more work then you want. Im excited to follow your journey! Love hearing about properties even if you dont get them!

Doreena Clark
2019-12-13 16:18:47 +0000 UTCSpider hobbyist here 😊 It's a female Argiope aurantia spider aka a Black and Yellow Garden spider- not to be confused with a Banana spider. What gives it away is her cephalothorax (fore-body) and her distinct leg coloration. Argiope aurantia have that "gradient" leg coloring and the light cephalothorax. Also, her now-shriveled abdomen still shows some slight design of her beautiful detailing when she was alive. Still beautiful, even in death! While her abdomen is shriveled, you can preserve her still if you want! Just place her in Tupperware with a damp paper towel flooring, spray her slightly also with water, shut the lid and let her sit for a good 48 hours. Her limbs will be manageable to move however you like. Anywho, sorry for all the info LOL I adore spiders, have maintained 50+ of them and they're always such interesting little babies! 😊

2019-12-13 15:17:00 +0000 UTCI used to live in Woodstock. The Square in Woodstock is lovely, and it’s only 55 minutes to Chicago. It’s too bad the Stickney house in nearby Bull Valley isn’t for sale. It was built by spiritualists to communicate with the dead.
Ken Gerleve
2019-12-13 15:15:54 +0000 UTCI live in the area. There are many charming older houses built during the city's time as home to the Woodstock Typewriter Company. The city also has been working hard to make the old city center (known as "The Woodstock Square") into a hub of independent businesses, boutiques and art. Plus, the location provides easy access to all kinds of transportation and national chain businesses.

2019-12-13 02:03:37 +0000 UTCFrom the flat on top of the head I'd say it's a type of tarantula or wolf spider.

2019-12-13 02:01:57 +0000 UTCThanks for the update Christine! It's so nice to get to know more about you and the things you are up to! So sad it wasn't a match, but I hope the house finds someone else that can take care of it, it's so beautiful! I know you'll find the right one for you too. I'm enjoying so much seeing the houses that everyone suggests, and if I happen to see one that reminds me of you I'll send it your way! Have a nice end of the week! XO

2019-12-13 02:00:58 +0000 UTCYou can try Google Lens with that spider, it may be able to tell you what kind it is.
Daniel Wx
2019-12-13 01:56:15 +0000 UTCThat /might/ be a hobo spider. How big is it?
Rikka Koi
2019-12-13 01:47:21 +0000 UTCOMG, that one is so beautiful!!
Simón J.
2019-12-13 01:42:15 +0000 UTCI commented on a previous post with another house not sure if you got it but i can send it again if you want to see!
Kassandra Love
2019-12-13 01:35:56 +0000 UTCI would guess it's a wolf or some type of huntsman, judging by the thickness of the legs. Orb weavers have skinny spindly legs.
Sarah Rowan
2019-12-13 01:31:03 +0000 UTCI still love that house -minus the killer spider. But, I get it..... money pit, time snatcher. I hope someone saves the piano!
Alfreda Payton
2019-12-13 01:22:32 +0000 UTCI think Tom Hanks and Shelley Long would call this one a 'Money Pit'. ;)

2019-12-13 01:22:00 +0000 UTCHope you saw March 10, 2019 Financial Times article -"How we fell for cheap old Houses". Complete with map showing where most of those old mansions are located in U.S https://www.ft.com/content/5b0a3704-6113-11e9-b285-3acd5d43599e

2019-12-13 01:19:52 +0000 UTCYou'll find the right one. Happy House Hunting!
Angie Loyd
2019-12-13 01:12:31 +0000 UTCMy friends know i'm also looking for a property in the northeast and one of them sent me the link to this house and I laughed and told them you were already looking at it and would let us know if it was worth it. It made me happy they thought of me when they saw it and I was hoping that it would be in decent condition so you could rehab it. It's probably best you moved on from it, you'll find a better place when it's the perfect time.
MariDeath ScaryBeth
2019-12-13 01:09:50 +0000 UTCThat spider is beautiful offhand I would say it is a garden spider based on the legs and body structure....sorry about the house seeing it reminded me of the movie 'money pit' but that ceiling is amazing....I have driven by many beautiful homes across the United States....is your heart set on New York?
Beci Johnson
2019-12-13 01:05:21 +0000 UTCI think you made the right decision. With that kind of water damage over the years a million bucks might not even be enough. Hopefully, someone with a lot of money will save it. You have begun your journey, as you learn along the way, you will eventually find what is right for you!
Roger J Stone
2019-12-13 00:58:01 +0000 UTCDo you mean you will be making videos of your process of fixing up a house? That would be super helpful to know and exciting:) (I also want to buy a house soon) Hope you find the perfect place soon!

2019-12-13 00:57:33 +0000 UTCTHAT ONE would be a DREAM! :D
Christine McConnell
2019-12-13 00:53:35 +0000 UTCYou will find a different house with land that would be better for you and your fur babies. It’s the journey of house hunting! 💖
Carla Perea Seminaro
2019-12-13 00:31:43 +0000 UTCBetter than getting in over your head. Your house will come.
Kathleen Mroczko
2019-12-13 00:31:21 +0000 UTCOk I'll try and stop after this one. Lol I know you probably don't want to be bombarded with a million home suggestions. What do you think of this 5 bds • 3 ba • 5,248 sqft home I found on Zillow? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2281-Vineville-Ave-Macon-GA-31204/251001658_zpid/
Orealgreenleaf
2019-12-13 00:29:25 +0000 UTCIt's definitely not a wolf spider, but does look like it's venomous.

2019-12-13 00:10:30 +0000 UTCKeep looking and maybe try dowsing for Areas that energetically best for your projects.
Kathryn Kauffman Psychic Medium
2019-12-13 00:08:30 +0000 UTCGood idea, but some houses are beyond salvaging. By the way, that spider looks like a type of garden spider.
Big Rich
2019-12-13 00:08:28 +0000 UTCSomething will come along! It’s a cute small city, but so much work and those taxes on top of it! The spider looks like a Golden Garden Spider and we have them in these parts.
Karen
2019-12-13 00:08:13 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, that would be so much work! I would be a bit irked by lack of privacy too, even though it is gorgeous. Thanks for including us in the house hunt, I'm sure you'll find the perfect one :-)
Katherine
2019-12-13 00:06:08 +0000 UTCSorry it didn't work out here's one I saw https://realestate.savingplaces.org/properties/quincy-mine-agents-house/
Orealgreenleaf
2019-12-13 00:02:34 +0000 UTCWell that's a bummer, but I'm convinced that THE perfect house will become available to you at just the right time! I LOVE that you're keeping us in the loop, I'm just as excited as you are, if not more! That spider was gorgeous, and I say that as a complete spider-phobic loon.
Jade
2019-12-13 00:01:35 +0000 UTCGo back and get that spider! Then you could do a show about dioramas (not sure that’s the right term) with found dead beauties....I made one with a hummingbird a while ago.

Sarah
2019-12-12 23:51:31 +0000 UTCI second the wolf spider guess, but I've never seen one with such a light thorax before.
Jana
2019-12-12 23:50:13 +0000 UTCThere's a Queen Anne house for sale in Carthage, NY for $70,000. The last owner updated the plumbing and redid the roof so it doesn't seem to be in such bad shape https://www.oldhousedreams.com/2018/11/01/1905-queen-anne-carthage-ny/

Ash
2019-12-12 23:39:23 +0000 UTCThe house is really incredible! Sad it was more damaged which is also expected for this amount of money. Would you do mean and greet with your New York fans? 🗽🗽🗽

2019-12-12 23:30:57 +0000 UTCI personally love being kept in the loop. Thank you for thinking of us. Can’t wait to see the house you do choose.
Saluting Darwin
2019-12-12 23:29:38 +0000 UTCI'm so sad to see that this isn't a good fit for you. I've been seeing it in media over the last few days and this house is amazing. I'm curious, did you submit your plans and bid or had you not gotten that far with the process? I'm glad they're requiring it, so that whoever buys it will legitimately restore/fix it up.
KB Wood
2019-12-12 23:29:17 +0000 UTCPerhaps an orb weaver or barn spider like Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web.
Andre Hall
2019-12-12 23:27:57 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. I'm sorry to hear it's not what you had hoped for. Will keep my fingers crossed that you find something just right!!
Jordan Blanton
2019-12-12 23:27:34 +0000 UTCI’m sure the right house will find you. Thanks for the update.

2019-12-12 23:26:52 +0000 UTCOh my goodness that spider is gorgeous 😍 if no one here can solve that puzzle is go to Reddit and ask r/spiders.

2019-12-12 23:23:45 +0000 UTCI was just hoping it wasn’t a scam. I’m glad you didn’t rush into something.. the right house will turn up
Desiree Coon
2019-12-12 23:21:37 +0000 UTCA travesty that it got into such disrepair. Hopefully it finds a loving new owner!
Meredith Steele
2019-12-12 23:21:01 +0000 UTCAww, I’m sorry it was a bust! It is beautiful, but definitely sounds like the right decision and it just means the perfect house is still out there waiting for you. I really love seeing these behind-the-scenes/real life moments - thank you for sharing them with us!
Lily
2019-12-12 23:20:23 +0000 UTCI move into my new house today. You'll find the right one, especially with an army of like minded sleuths behind you.
Branwen Frost
2019-12-12 23:19:56 +0000 UTCI saw that the property was city owned and they were selling it in a unique way that seemed to require a lot of planning and promises before offers would be seriously considered. I’m glad they are protecting this place but sad that you won’t be the one to take care of it. There are plenty more though that need love! Try the Midwest too! 🥰
Brandon Grew
2019-12-12 23:19:41 +0000 UTCThat was my exact thought. When you posted it, I thought to myself “wow I love the house but it’s right off that major street”

2019-12-12 23:19:35 +0000 UTCAwww what a shame!!! 😔 Will keep looking.

2019-12-12 23:19:16 +0000 UTCWow! What s place that must have been in it's day! Think of the music from that beautiful piano.
Jennifer Grenko
2019-12-12 23:18:59 +0000 UTCAmazing place, but definitely a money pit. Good luck on your search!
Nichole C
2019-12-12 23:18:52 +0000 UTCThat may well be a harpsichord (the piano like instrument). It needs to be saved! The house does have some serious issues it seems.
Jonathan Smith
2019-12-12 23:18:40 +0000 UTCIts too much work. I also looked at street view and it looked to be on a busy road??
