Rockwool, Rot, and Rodents: A Cozy Cottage Nightmare | Ep 15

Video Description

Going to therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. My paid partner BetterHelp makes therapy simple, with 10% off your first month to help you get started: https://betterhelp.com/jacobharrell Five months into renovating our 500-year-old cottage… and it’s somehow getting stranger. In this episode, we start insulating the roof — cramming Rockwool between the original 16th-century rafters in the hope of one day being warm again. But naturally, the rafters had other plans… namely, hiding a small army of dead mice. It’s itchy, it’s smelly, and it’s the closest thing we’ve had to progress in a while. We’re tired, disorganised, and very slightly losing our minds. But Muddy’s thriving, and that’s what really matters. Thanks for being here — the chaos continues. 🔨 Watch the full renovation from the start: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0CQW6uQGcc6wJtDRwYuvOamdk-pQzUa9&si=WAmK03v5TASyA89Z 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every other Sunday: https://www.youtube.com/user/jacobh73 🐾 Behind the scenes & more Muddy: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/jacob_harrell/?hl=en TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@jacobharrellvideo 💛 Massive thanks to our YouTube Members and Patrons for supporting this chaos.
