Didn’t need a makeover imo so much as very thorough cleaning, an exterminator contract because those rodents will just come back inside, and imo some significant therapy to deal with the burgeoning hoarding. I have no idea why anyone was fiddling about with molding and frills when there were mice all over the dining room and evidence of rot around the windows etc.
I can't believe this woman has allowed mouse feces on her dining room table. That is bizarre. And the condition of the children's rooms. It all looks like dysfunction.
@@kimberlyallen4620what wow you are way off. Yes she had a mouse problem and she is at her fiancé’s house a lot plus it’s an old house which means more places for them to get in so the mouse get bolder! She didn’t realize mice were chillin on her table I’m sure! Yeah she allows her kids to be creative in a way most of us won’t but that by no means makes her neglectful or abusive! I’d hate to be your neighbor!
@@maddscientist3170 Depending upon the jurisdiction, the rodent turds, especially in the dining area, could well be a reason to have the children removed. My daughter is a former police officer (Colorado) and she informed a family member living in Oregon that the condition of their house could be grounds to have the kids taken. It was about the level of dirty that this house is, except there were no mouse droppings in the kitchen or on the table.
You plan on meeting your maker? Think he’d judge that? Have you lost your mind? You all are a bunch of PTA moms that have nothing better to do then judge other people ?? Look at the car you drive are perfect? Walk on water lately? Thought not
If I were to walk in as a potential buyer, once I saw the mice droppings and coco roaches I would RUN OUT. What’s worse is she has no shame. Disgusting.
When we sold our townhouse 10 months ago, I cleaned every nook and cranny as if our life depends upon it 😂. Fortunately, we got an offer 1 day after it was listed. After 5 days, we had 5 offers and 25K more price increase. 😊
Why didn’t her partner help her prepare the house? Is he clueless too? Her children weren’t being creative, they were being disrespectful. Give them canvases instead!
@@rsamomI’d bet money on it. She doesn’t appear to see anything wrong with their behavior. I can’t imagine what it looked like before she “cleaned.” She’s just going to take her poor housekeeping and lax parenting to her new relationship.
Seems like the epitome of the expression, “lipstick on a pig.” If you aren’t taking care of the surface you probably aren’t taking care of the important parts of the home either. No thanks.
I've only watched a few of these, but it seems that 9 times out of 10 it is that people are not fully moved out of their house but expect to sell it quickly. That is real estate 101: Show your home as a blank canvas so prospective buyers can envision themselves living there.
Totally right! It's always about de-cluttering and de-personalizing space. All should be neutral so prospective buyers can imagine themselves living there.
In this city it’s very rare to see a listing where the people have moved out, but EVERYONE, even those with kids, know to keep the house in perfect shape while it’s on the market. But if they already have a new house to move into then they absolutely should clean up and clear out!!
I know many real estate agents are uncomfortable telling owners the truth about their home if the home is messy and dirty. Unfortunately, they often wait months before getting the help they need. Yes, money must be spent to properly prepare a house for sale, but it needs to be spent and come out of the proceeds from the property when it sells. Realtors are reluctant to show houses that have been on the market for a long time unless the house has been cleaned up. It's a hard sell when the house is dirty and messy and potential buyers will demand a lower sale price if the property is a mess. This includes maintenance of outside space.
16:02 Nice transformation, but it obviously accommodated a clothes washer at one point, and we don't know if a laundry area is now located elsewhere in the house.
Agree. She’s really weird. The common sense thoughts are not all connecting there. I don’t think they were actually living in the house. At least not for long. Who in their right mind willingly lives in a house with TONS of mice with small children?
It would be scary if she sold her home and then broke up with that partner shewould not be able to buy one again especially in this nice neighborhood. Wrong move
9:02 Look. Andrea's image speaks volumes. She is dressed with great attention to appearance, including her makeup. Now, look at her filth furniture, grafiti all over, and rodent infested(?) home. Mice droppings on your effing dining table where you EAT!?! If she dressed how her home looks it would make align. But this is not the case. Lipstick on a pig is still a pig 😳
Always an improvement on this show; however, in this case I do not agree with the seller’s thoughts about beating out the other comparable house down the street. I think it just had better bones, maybe?
I wonder how long that relationship is going to last when her partner discovers that the children have no respect for their living environments and they are allowed to behave as animals in the house?
This is extraordinary work. Im going to follow this and try the chair myself. Love how much I learned from this video especially the use of the files to do detail carving. Thank you b
If the rocking chair was a sentimental item why is it still in the old house. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realise that she needed to take out all of the rubbish in that little room. Am I being too judgmental or what, it would have taken no time to at least get rid of the rubbish and mouse droppings.
The finishing on this house is awful...I would not buy it because of the poor finishing because it would mean having to go back over work that has been badly done in the first place!
I'm sure Andrea is a good mom--but she's also a dip and the children, although "creative" are somewhat unsupervised and not well-disciplined. Andrea may not be "all there" and I wonder how marriage #2 is going to make it.
Worst episode of this show. The woodwork was the best asset of the house - it was original to the home. smh. The filth and clueless mother just blows my mind. No, I would not purchase that house. That fake fireplace alone would be a big turn off. I did like the kitchen.
I have to watch more of these episodes of this show. Have seen it listed when channel surfing, but never watched it. This show reminds me of the BBC show, "House Doctor" with Ann Maurice. I LOVED that show. This program is now going to be on my watch list.
I already feel sorry for the "new" potential husband. If the children were not taught respect, discipline or how to take care of your belongings, thats because the mother doesnt care about them either....and dont tell me she is clueless about having mice!! She knows!
What do you hate your step dad or what? There are a lot of blended families that do fine! The girls are of similar age and young so less issues if they were in teens. Also there are two sisters that will be protective to each other if there’s jealousy I think the iss will be more likely if mom and dad don’t work out the faith in family but you know what I hope for everyone’s sake that life is good for everyone
Has this man see how the woman and her children are happy to live in, does he really want to share a home with them I wouldn't. She has a film crew in her home and she didn't see mice droppings on the table, what else hasn't she seen. Finishes have not been done to a high standard.
It's always easy to mock about others, you know? Are you a working single mom of 2 kids, making a living? Or does your hubby provide for you, leaving you time enough for watching yt videos and posting rude comments? 🤔
‘A hint of art deco’ in the comparable home?? I don’t think so. And THAT is what you call a floor repair? Now I understand the very fast edits. Not impressed.
It's shocking how many people feel free to post rude and contemptuous comments about Andrea, ignoring youtube rules. The video is about the house - and no invitation for spreading your hate and arrogance! Shame on you!
Painting the baseboardsI and fireplace did not pay at all, they used cheaper materials for the walls application that they did not and could not tain, so let's devuelve that living room of its charm and made it inconsistent with the beautiful stairs and the rest of the house.
Make sure your kids have access to high-quality and special art supplies, and they won't feel the need to draw on the walls. Bonus: they can hang the stuff they like and rotate it out instead of crossing out their misspellings but having to see them forever. Imagine the pride they feel when you frame a particularly appealing drawing. We still have a vase of flowers in pastel drawn in preschool hanging. No one identifies it as a child's work.
Ok her children need discipline!!! And she has too much junk. It could be beautiful. I hope she gets a cleaning lady I. Her next home on a regular basis. I am not a troll , I think this lady could be a cleaner more organized mother.
Perfect example of a delusional and inept parent when one mistakes "creative" children for the lack of one's own teaching and disciplinary skills. Wonder if the future husband is the same....since like attracts like ?
The DR table would be trash. I know its psychological, but there's not enough bleach/vinegar/ammonia in the world to make that okay. Personally, I wouldn't buy a house that's all done and designed. That means it's not mine. I want it to look like ME, not some designer. Painting that beautiful woodwork ought to be an arrestable crime. It destroys the original charm and character, which is a big reason to love this place. Don't like it? Buy something else.
Wow these comments are harsh! Ya'll realize that it makes for more entertaining tv if they don't clean up the mouse droppings before the camera crew arrives, right? And who cares if kids color on the walls of their own bedrooms?! It's their house and they're not hurting anyone. Yes they should paint over it if they want to sell the house but it's not some big moral failure to draw on a wall 🙄 give me a break.
She is making huge mistake. I hope her money stays her money. She seems quite a few cents in the dollar. My guess is the kids are just not going to get on. They have no discipline so the new husband is going to insist. Blood is thicker than water. I see a black moon rising..
Would you purchase Andrea's property now it has been newly renovated? 👀
I would have bought it before the 'makeover' for a better price and do the renovation myself and the way I like it.

I wondered the same thing
She is a pig and allows kids to run a muck by writing. on the walls. I believe she just wants someone to clean for her.
Exactly what I was thinking
How can you not notice mouse dropping on your dining table?

Spending money on two mortgages ? Doesn’t her fiancée pay his own mortgage? Before marriage, she should only be spending money on the one.
