Your bit about picking up nails brought back memories I hadn't thought of in years. When I was a kid my dad (who built our homes mostly from reused lumber) would have us kids go out and pick up nails around the house. There weren't many, because he was very careful not to drop them. After picking up the nails, we had to straighten any bent ones so that we could reuse them. We tore down old houses and took apart all the lumber for reuse in our "new" homes. The nails we pulled had to be straightened if possible.
@@heidifritz3053 And he made sure we were, too! I pulled thousands of nails out of lumber and pounded them straight again so that we would have a house. My siblings and I have great work ethics, thanks to my folks!
Supposedly EX President Trump's father brought his to kids pick up nails on his building sites as his idea of a FUN weekend activity. He gave them to his builders to straighten and reuse Remember he was a millionaire!
That kitchen design is magnificent. Every decision you guys have made is uniquely tailored to your family’s needs. So thoughtful and beautiful. Thank you for filming this update Alex.
I agree with you Melissa. The top cupboards along the ceiling should be frosted glass. They are most likely for storage rather than decorative items. 🥰
@@ydne great idea! When I still lived in Las Vegas +20yrs ago, I used stain glass looking kits to make some really pretty decorative mirrors. I reckon nowadays there's even better and easier ways to decorate glass
A circular drive way would look really nice and with all that land I’d put the basketball hoop somewhere at the back of the house. That’s just what I would do. I love how the kitchen is turning out. Beautiful house! ♥️
Oh. My. Gosh. Can I come and live in your new house? It is fabulous! First, I knew that picking out all of the floors and tiles and lighting, etc etc etc was a lot of work, and second that you would need to keep an eye on how things looked as they were installed. But I could not have imagined how beautiful the finished product of all of your efforts would be! Incredible!! I am so excited for you and am just so grateful that you are sharing this journey. I have never, nor will I ever, do anything like this. And this way, in a tiny way, I get to feel as if I am a part of this wonderful new existence you are creating. Thank you and blessings for years of happiness in your new abode!💕🌸✌️
Oh Wow! Melissa the kitchen is gorgious! Yes, to you doing a cooking show. With your teaching experience and first hand experience of raising a family today, you could let it evolve into a home economics show with audience participation. Great family, thanks for allowing us into your lives.
Drupad seems really meticulous & great to work with. Wish we had him in my area! You have made such a pretty house. I love building & I’m getting some ideas for my next one! Thanks for sharing! PS what a great idea to have the kids help with yard cleanup. I hated that the builders buried so much junk in our yard. It really prohibits grass & plant growth.
You absolutely amaze me Alex with all the different projects that you have running simultaneously. Keeping on top of everything is a real skill, but always with your focus on you lovely wife and family. You are all a real inspiration, and being able to share in the love that binds you together is a joy and a privilege. Thank you all!
Oh so exciting…your beautiful new custom home almost done! I know you’ll have a fantastic housewarming celebration! And that beautiful kitchen….the kitchen IS the center of any home and really is THE most important room of the house and where everybody tends to congregate. I’ve been through a few kitchen remodelings and I can speak from experience….if at all possible within your budget…skimp on other things if you have to, but don’t skimp on your kitchen. You will not regret it.😊
I was very glad to see your sprites have improved greatly. You can tell you’ve lightened your load. Back to the very optimistic happy person we’ve known thru your videos. Congratulations and wishing you and your family all of the success and happiness you deserve. Enjoy the benefits of your hard work. One question, how is Hans and his wife doing? Haven’t seen them for a long while on your channel.
They live a couple hours away. Winter drives would not be fun for 2 hours. I bet we see them at any housewarming get-togethers. I'm curious to see if Hans will have any advice about the trees around the house. Some may need trimmed, and dead branches, or whole dead trees, may need removed as well to give the trees around them some elbow room. The resulting wood chips will come in handy. He may even have advice about where the upcoming fruit trees should be located. He might even have an auger he could bring along.
Drupad seems to be the happiest person. He must be great to work with in this big job. Enjoy seeing all the building of your home. Thanks for taking all of us along!
I'm enjoying watching the progress on your house so much! I just watched your live video on selling the store and want to encourage you and your family in this new season. My husband and I are very blessed with 3 Godly married children and 13 grandchildren. You and your family fit right into their ages, so this is coming from a mama's heart. Our lives are fleeting; our Hope rests in Christ, Who is coming again.
this is soooo bringing back memories. we built our house in 1990 . you are right about the daily trips to make sure things are going correctly and to make decisions on even the tiniest things like....door hinges! (that one really blew me away...who would've thought) we lived in it for 28 years. sold it to a deserving family that would use it the way we did.
I like the subway tiles running in the same direction as the countertop pattern. I agree, Melissa, it’s hard to tell the size and scale of a picture in a catalog, rather than seeing a light hanging from the ceiling. The house is so close to being done and it’s beautiful.
It’s just a beautiful home Archbolds! I am excited for you to move in. We added some stained glass to a couple of cabinet doors but after looking at your kitchen, I want to also add pin some glass panels. You will all have such fun decorating your specified areas. Be happy, be grateful!
The house is looking beautiful.....magnifeeeek!!! 😄 I never knew there was a contraption to pick up nails, that is great!! I have a friend who always walks looking down because she picks up every nail she sees. She would love that magnet contraption! 🥰🥰🥰
I really love the lights you choose for over your island. The glass kitchen doors are beautiful too. Melissa’s Pyrex bowls will look great peaking out of them. 😊
I LOVE that the mantle wraps around the fireplace and it just fits with it! Anymore, most fireplace mantles seem to be way too small for the size of the fireplace. The house is looking awesome!
It looks so good.. What a magnificent house and home you are in for.. Love it! On the outside, make a kind of a roundabout, with easy access to your front door with deliveries, and a statement piece in the centre of the roundabout. Flowers, maybe a work of art from Josh, a flagpole ore something. You guys earned this, i am so happy for you all!
The house is nice and all - BUT - the joy bubbling up on all the nooks and cranies of the faces of your family - that’s PRICELESS. Chewey could use some grout though.
Wow, the end is coming fast now! I'm so excited for you. Everything is coming together so beautifully. I love the choices of lights for the dining and entrance, and the new choice in the kitchen is PERFECT! Everything is going to be just right for your wonderful family.
One thing I always wanted in a multi story house is a dumbwaiter large enough to haul stuff from storage in the basement to the upper floors and a laundry chute. Mighty handy for when you get older and the back/legs lose their strength. Set it up with a decent electric winch for the heavy stuff.
As someone who is in real estate, I can't tell you just how much I've been enjoying this series. Your home is just beautiful, Alex and Melissa, and I'm so happy for you and your family. It must be so incredibly fun and rewarding to be able to build your house the precise way you want it and this one is a real beauty. Everything from the heritage blue siding, stone work and pop of white trim to the octagonal bathroom floor tile and stained railings, your home is a thing of beauty. You guys really deserve it and I can't wait to see you move in and enjoy your new space. ❤️
@@CuriosityIncorporated It really is. Choosing from catalogs is tough. I'm a tactile person myself and love to see and touch everything, but with the supply chain issues it's been a real challenge. For the most part what you've chosen is working, and having such a meticulous partner in Dhrupad has made swapping out the few bad eggs (or chandelier lights) a breeze. Can't wait to see the hardwood floors and range hood go in.
The house is coming along nicely. It’s amazing for us viewers how quickly this has come around. Everything looks fantastic and loving the cube choices of the two lights in the kitchen.
"Cooking With Melissa" sounds like a great name of a show. I'd watch it! Such a beautiful house you've got there! It'd be so exciting for all of us--especially you and your family-- to see it complete!!
All the choices, Melissa and you have made are beautiful. So many decisions to be made when building a home. Wish Durpad was available to build, in Ontario. He is an excellent contractor that keeps the subcontractors timely, which is not easy, in these times of so many delays in the world.
Excellente on having the kids help with the $5.00 bags!!! A nice treat for the kids and a better treat for you two wanting the yard looking better, plus vehicles still needing to drive up close for construction matters!! Loved the magnet roller, I should of advised that back a couple years ago when our townhouses were resided!! I could of boughten a nice outfit if I had gotten a nickel per each nail I had picked up during and after the construction!! I am an end unit so that could of made a difference, but it still was a safety issue!! Your house is awesome!! The kitchen is every ladies dream of having in their home!! Plus the garages!! I could handle that myself!! Thank you for sharing your dream house with us as it is all coming together!! I am very happy for all of you!! The kids will enjoy this house as much as the adults!!! God Bless you all and have a great weekend!!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your dream home with us, can hardly wait to see the personal touches incorporating many of your art, collectables, and favorite pieces !
The flooring really makes the rooms look bigger. What a beautiful home the children are going to have such wonderful memories and so are you and Malissa. I had a large home when the children were growing up it was on 10 acres...lots of work but well worth it. We had a concrete driveway that was built just like you mentioned it worked well but we always wanted to add another section in a circular pattern infront of the house for easy access, We didn't get around to it but you might want to think about doing it now instead of later.
I was just thinking "oooh bevelled edges on that bathroom mirror would look GORGEOUS" and then you said that was the plan! It's going to look AWESOME!!!
Debbie here, Wa. 👩🌾. Your home is absolutely beautiful…..I’m a gardener at heart, and am looking forward to seeing the progress there as well…..the lights in the kitchen really compliment the architecture of the kitchen…🐣🐥🐔
I absolutely love the hanging lights in the kitchen! They give off such a warm glow. I sense lots of shows coming from your kitchen. An early congratulations, you guys, on your beautiful, new house/home!
I'm so happy for you Alex. You have given your family a life time of happiness and beautiful memories. Melissa, you are so blessed to have a man who loves and supports his family. Be blessed you guys. I can't wait to see the final touches and please, show us pictures of your home during the holidays. Beautiful home.
Just beautiful…and so exciting for your family! I’m looking forward to seeing what Josh has in store for your niche upstairs! You’ll hopefully be all settled in by this time next month, just in time for setting up Melissa’s garden! 🥰
Wow this house is beautiful!! I think you could make money on the sale of these house plans! All I can say is you and Melissa deserve it, you both are such hard workers and are such good and involved parents, it makes me happy to see all of this happen for you guys!
It really looks great! Melissa's right, with every new thing, it becomes more awesome. I'm so happy for you all. You are both hard working people and you deserve this. I'm so glad you didn't wait longer, the kids are still going to be around for a good while and they can enjoy it with you.
I can’t help but clap my hands and smile for you guys Alex and Melissa! What a beautiful home that’s coming together for you all! Many many happy memories in store for each one of you! 💖👏👏👏👏😁
A really beautiful home for your family and everything you need! Excellent taste, good forward thinking for the future! May God Bless it and you and your family!
Yall deserve the VERY BEST, ALEX your a great dad and husband.... you are so so blessed with such a Beautiful family.... so happy for all your growth and success!! Praise Jesus!!
I’m so happy for you all! Love the lights over the kitchen island, perfect choice. The whole house is beautiful!!!! You will be happy with the laminate flooring, we have laminate downstairs and it’s beautiful and durable (ten years now). Edited to add that I can’t wait to see the real front door lol!
Everything looks great! Love, love,love the fireplace. The color of the granite countertops really go well with everything. It’s all beautiful! I’m very happy for you and your family❤️
Might be worth it to get one of those magnetic roller pick up things from princess auto to look for nails outside. Edit- just saw you using it! Ha ha ha
Things are really taking shape now. That flooring goes down fast unlike hardwood that takes a bit longer. I really want to see the drywall paving as it is something I have never seen before LOL.
Its like that last part in a parachute jump, where at first its slow slow slow, and as the ground comes closer its one big russssshhhh... everything is suddenly happening so fast now. Cant wait to see it in the final stages and then the big moving day. I hope you will feel comfortable with letting us see you all moved in. Thanks for the journey. Its been a wonderful series of videos from the first bare ground.
Such a fun time! We built our home we are still in forty years later and I remember the choices of textures, light fixtures, furniture, and all the things we loved! So so happy for your family! Blessings on you! You deserve this! 🥰❤️🤗🙏🏻
Adding a charging station in the garage is a nice touch, and a nice thing to do, even if you don't have an EV yet. And I think that some EVs use different "plugs", I suggest getting adapter pieces at some point, they might be handy to have around.
We got one of those nail magnet things when our siding was redone. The guys had one and used it but every day after they left we ran over it and found a ton more still. I love that little thing!!! Definitely helps save your tires and your feet! lol
The new manor house is fabulous (as I knew it would be). It will be advantageous to pave the driveway before the move-in if possible. And keep it simple as you discussed. Can always add parking if needed. Excitement builds! Happy Easter to all.
I really love the way the house is coming together inside. Only thing is i agree frosted glass for the top of the cabinets. I use for storage as did my mother and grandmother. Other than that the kitchen looks good and the choice of old bulbs in the fixtures is a good one as well. Softer light makes it more homey looking.
If you look up "feelgood" in the dictionary, you will find a direct link to this clip. ;)

I agree with you Melissa. The top cupboards along the ceiling should be frosted glass. They are most likely for storage rather than decorative items. 🥰
@@ydne 🥰
I do not like clear glass cupboards. I have to keep them neat and tidy. Not my strong point lol
@@simoneconsciousobserver3105 😊
@@ydne great idea! When I still lived in Las Vegas +20yrs ago, I used stain glass looking kits to make some really pretty decorative mirrors. I reckon nowadays there's even better and easier ways to decorate glass
It's looking beautiful. I really like that the bottom of the railings blends so well with the floor.
A circular drive way would look really nice and with all that land I’d put the basketball hoop somewhere at the back of the house. That’s just what I would do. I love how the kitchen is turning out. Beautiful house! ♥️
Basketball court that turns into a hockey rink in the winter (Canada, you know?)
I agree, a circular drive is classic, practical and landscapes much better 😊
The lights in the living room and the kitchen are so craftsman looking, very in keeping with the style of your house.
Wow!!!! BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Can't wait to see 'moving day' videos and the finished home with furniture and art on the walls. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us

Might be worth it to get one of those magnetic roller pick up things from princess auto to look for nails outside. Edit- just saw you using it! Ha ha ha
Hi Diecast Dave👋! Good to see 👀 you! I hope you are well!
I had the same thought!
@@grettagirl2884 hello!
Love all the lights and they look great!❤️ everything is so bright and clean.
Everything is beautiful. I'm so happy for your family. 🙏🥰🐕🇺🇸
We're so excited for you all! I hope your move goes well. Abigail will have squirrels coming in her windows. 🐿️
Love how much sunlight comes into the basement
Things are really taking shape now. That flooring goes down fast unlike hardwood that takes a bit longer. I really want to see the drywall paving as it is something I have never seen before LOL.
Love the kitchen tile…..great choice!
Its like that last part in a parachute jump, where at first its slow slow slow, and as the ground comes closer its one big russssshhhh... everything is suddenly happening so fast now. Cant wait to see it in the final stages and then the big moving day. I hope you will feel comfortable with letting us see you all moved in. Thanks for the journey. Its been a wonderful series of videos from the first bare ground.
Such a fun time! We built our home we are still in forty years later and I remember the choices of textures, light fixtures, furniture, and all the things we loved! So so happy for your family! Blessings on you! You deserve this! 🥰❤️🤗🙏🏻
Beautiful, beautiful! Lots of storage would be my dream come true. Show us your closets and pantry, please. 🤗🤗🤗
Adding a charging station in the garage is a nice touch, and a nice thing to do, even if you don't have an EV yet. And I think that some EVs use different "plugs", I suggest getting adapter pieces at some point, they might be handy to have around.
Things are shaping up! It's all the little details that make the difference👍🙂🇨🇦
We got one of those nail magnet things when our siding was redone. The guys had one and used it but every day after they left we ran over it and found a ton more still. I love that little thing!!! Definitely helps save your tires and your feet! lol
The new manor house is fabulous (as I knew it would be). It will be advantageous to pave the driveway before the move-in if possible. And keep it simple as you discussed. Can always add parking if needed. Excitement builds! Happy Easter to all.
I’m so happy for you and your family! You and Melissa’s smiles made me smile. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really love the way the house is coming together inside. Only thing is i agree frosted glass for the top of the cabinets. I use for storage as did my mother and grandmother. Other than that the kitchen looks good and the choice of old bulbs in the fixtures is a good one as well. Softer light makes it more homey looking.
