Please don’t use those old school shingles for the garage roof, use steel roofing , will last four times longer than shingles. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Congrats!🎉 Happy life. So happy everything is ok with you. Looking forward to new videos. Crack on!

She’s really coming to life and it’s all because you too are so brave and hard working.

You guys "scored" with your dumpster diving! What an awesome surprise. I'd use those pavers to do something in your garden area.

You guys are doing an amazing job 👍 well done all your efforts! Your home has such great potential and character! It was so nice of your friend to help you with the roof!

Your current home and land, that you will love when you complete, needs you more.

Try oven cleaner one TH-camr XO Ma Cenna used it for stripping and it worked

Oh don’t feel bad about the other house , think of all the work you have already done. I believe your house is going to be beautiful and as soon as you can move in it will be easier to do the rest of the property as you go along ❤️

Safety goggles man!!! Just had to poke fun! Love your channel!

There is also a heat lamp that will heat the paint for easy removal you just shine the light on the paint then scrape.

There is a peel and paint. You just peel the paper put it on and it removes all the paint. It's great if there is lead paint because it makes it very easy to remove any kind of paint.

Oh you two are so great and happy. I know you have had a lot of turmoil with what you have found. You have come a long way baby(babies). When you first started and what is now is AMAZING. You will be so proud of your casa.😘

Kristen honey I think you and Hal are doing a fabulous job! Sooo glad to see the difference. You are both working so hard so much😢... But the reward is close😂❤

You guys are doing great!! I hope that your project is protected from harm with the hurricane.

🙋‍♀️❤️

Why don’t you take base boards off and work out. Easier on your back too.

How about smashing the large pieces first. Making it easier to put in dumpster.

Buy the Mid Century house and rent it out 😊

I love the little butt scooter. I wish I had one of those because I can no longer go on my knees like I once could do. Some of those stripping, sanding, and painting jobs that are so low are just murder.

I'd say your jumping around to much on your projects. And you know the bank can pull funding if you don't complete their requirements. So be careful what your doing. Or not doing in the case of your funding source. Good luck.

Well done both of you, you’re doing a grand job. Keep🇬🇧❤️

Leaving some or even many imperfections in the wood gives the house a lot of charm. No need to make it all look smooth, shiny and new.

My heart broke 💔 a little hearing the story of the midcentury modern house which only needed cosmetic fixes. However, I truly believe the work you’re doing is noble and I thank you for SAVING the 1923 Casa Cicada! I just see you guys living in and loving this home for years to come.

Kristen, You rock!!! Doing that baseboard work is so tedious, stinky, and it's really slow going. I know, because I've done that sort of thing myself. Just keep the mantra going, "This is gonna look so good, when it's done and the tiles are installed."

And why haven’t the grass been cut?… maybe it’ll look better.

I did a yard clean-up similar to yours. The overgrowth, fallen leaves, and at least a foot of fermentation was piled up around the house. Once it was all cleared away, the fresh smell in the house was so wonderful....like the house could breathe again too! I so admire your work ethic and your vision for your new home. You have more than earned every square inch of pride and enjoyment once you can live there. Wishing the best for both of you, as well as your furry family members.❤

Suggestion for the large pavers; if you decide to have a nice bird bath, you can use them to put the birdbath on it, so that it won't sink in the ground over the years. I did that and 11 years later, it still looks good. Y'all are doing a fabulous job on Casa 1923!!!

I’m a mid century lover as well! Maybe….🤷🏼‍♀️

Trick of the trade for refinishing square trim... Remove the trim, remove the nails, and just flip over. It saves the old trim, gives you a fresh surface, and also an idea of if water has ever intruded in that area.

I’m also a mid century maniac, Hal! I have a custom Ashton Woods mid century modern desert home in AZ where it’s a trillion degrees. Think oversized hexagon concrete tiles, black doors, smoky wood cabinets with Carrara countertops. And 113F still! Super excited for your progress. Those baseboards are going to be so fresh and rewarding. You guys are the best, always cheering for you!

Hello! I just saw an upside down horseshoe, have you ever heard upside down “all your lick in running out”! If I were you I would turn it around🤷

Lots of good things happening, stay strong guys!!

Love the roller seat ..i striped alot of woodwork.. your plan is great to be out of the stink.. i would get nose bleeds ....so hard to quit using that stripper ..😢 head ach telling enough....😊nice job so far..❤

Sweet❤

💕People update their gardens getting rid of old pavers block paving etc.. so advertise to take free old pavers etc…💕

❤

So satisfying to follow my favorite "Upcyclers".....Hope to run into y'all when I visit my sister in the area ~ Wanda , Charleston SC

This Casa has been a lot of work and worry but she is special. You are exactly where you are suppose to be, there is no coincidence on this matter. If it was not for both of you with all your efforts and sacrifices, this house most likely would not have the chance to have a second life. She will be a beauty and will give you a lot of happiness and pride. Thank you for sharing all your ups and down, I'm enjoying every minute of your journey. Have a great week!

You should have had Jose help you with the large pieces before he left ❤

When my pavers were faded I painted them ,worked good to make a little walkway,maybe in your garden ❤

I am constantly amazed at how resilient the both of you are. I would be screaming and crying during this process.

Your Casa is far more beautiful 😍 it truly is and has character. ❤love from me in 🇬🇧 xx

Just replace that piece of wood

Well done Kristin and Hal, we appreciate your hard work.😊❤

what a good friend!

Maybe try cutting the big plywood panels in half next time, less weight, take up less space.

A checkerboard layout with the pavers would be so pretty! I love your house.

Perhaps you could the pavers as a base for a grill.

Turn the harsh up for some goodluck.

Pull off you base board .strip and sand outsude.
