It was so nice seeing your old house again. Moving out does come with some nostalgia. But as you said, your life has gotten even better now with Keegan so there really isn't any sadness about leaving. And it's still yours and Lucy's. What a great investment.
What a great "visit" to the London house. It really makes me happy to see you and Lucy moving on to new lives and adventures. The word "stability" keeps coming to mind. You are "growing up" Joel and the future looks bright. Take care and say hi to Kegan.
Great video! Taking the bed apart looked like a major pain! Great example of what I like about my folding bed....it was a pain to put together, but next time I move, I don't have to disassemble it...I can leave it folded, and carry it to the truck on a dolly (a platform on a roller or on wheels or casters for moving heavy objects, not sure if the British call it that). Then I have a Japanese style futon (made in San Francisco) that folds up, and I can attach a strap, and carry it to the truck by hand 🙂
I laughed so hard at your confusion about the mattress, when you blogged about getting rid of it in one of your past vlogs when you moved out. 😂 I love you, Joel!
I learned via a friend that there's botox for headaches and it's totally a medical procedure! And she has trouble getting people to understand it's not cosmetic or for vanity. It was great to see the house one last time and I agree with you regarding putting money into the house that you get from renters!
Thank you for this comment! My 18 year old daughter gets headaches on average every 2 weeks, lasting a couple of days. We've had her eyes checked, taken her to the dentist to see about TMJ or teeth grinding, and we can't figure it out. I've never heard about Botox helping headaches. I'll definitely look into it!
@@shawnmarie459 No problem! My friend has been going through testing, herself, and through research learned about the botox. I can't remember how much she said it costs, but she was so desperate for relief and willing to try it.
Joel, you will always have the beautiful memories. Wishing you all the best with the home. .you may want to put security cam in back an front yards or put sign up front an back saying protect by Cams. This may help with the bad peeps .sorry that we live with that. Safe travels.
😢❤ Salutations from coastal Mississippi. I remember when y'all moved into that house. Oh the memories. Moving on means moving forward. Wishing you happiness in 2024. I have friends in Southampton 😂
Life is all about change and growth. You have grown so much in the past two years. I felt almost as nostalgic as you appeared to be in the video as you walked through the house.
This was a great nostalgic video and loved seeing little Ava 🥰. Actually seeing little Ava inspired me to get another dog. I lost mine about 5 years ago and haven't wanted to replace her. I'm now getting two 9 week old Cavapoo puppies this Tuesday! This vlog reminded me I'm about to lose all my freedom, no more going to the bathroom alone ! 🙃
So fun to see you and Ava back in the London house! Also, really awesome to see how far you’ve come since a year ago, when you were having such an emotionally difficult time about moving. I’m really happy for you that you could go back now, feel sentimental, but not sad.
Joel I grew up in a triplex and rented the other 2. This was the rough rule. Jan to March or so plays the house taxes and all our utilities for the year. Tenets pay for their out. You get to use all the money though summer. The fall money was saved for improvements. Every summer you use last years savings. Some years you skip a few summer to pay for a large expensive job like a few new windows. If the math does not work then you adjust the rent.
Joel, you need to leave a towel and paper towels in the car, that way if one of you are eating you can cover the area, like the seat Ava got the whipped cream on.
Love your vids...i was in the army, and moving was part of life... I understand how you feel. U just need closure,and be able to be greatful for what you have now.
glad you got to visit your house in London. Would have been nice to see Lucy again, but time marches on. You both have new lives now and I'm so glad that you seem so contented and happy with your life with Keegan. Time and life marches on!!
Awh, love seeing the old place, glad it’s going to be a multi-part vlog series! And I am thrilled you’re seeing this as closure, not sadness. 🥰 Joel is moving on … it will be nice, though, to see the London place if you do come back for any renos, so please vlog those if you can! 🙂 Take care. ❤
Am really glad you are having closure and it’s been a good experience. It’s also a good sign that you made the right decision moving northward. Isn’t that great😊
Love these types of videos, Joel. My introduction to your channel was when you just purchased this house (in that video you gave a tour of your prior rental). Too bad you didn't have a "boot sale" in your front yard to sell the leftover household items. FYI: You might need to get a longer t-shirt, just sayin'.
This vlog was entertaining and inspirational. You’re moving in with your life as I am. We had different experiences in 2023. In 2024 I am focused on me and my surroundings. In 2023 I was traveling a lot and I think it was a way to avoid dealing with things close to home. I hope I can sustain this focus throughout the year. Stay well.👍🙏😎
Happy to be part of #joelstherapycrew lol! Thank goodness I follow regularly or else that title would have been very alarming🤣 Um, also yes on the hyperhidrosis - right there with you - it’s been bad ever since being overweight and I can literally sit in the car or at my desk and they just appear out of nowhere. Meanwhile I’m freezing! 🙄😂 Have a great week!! ✨
Hope you got everything you needed done , everything you were taken back with you sorted out . I am sure the new tenant(s) will be very happy 😊 . Have a Good weekend 🥰
Was so good seeing you back in your home and Ava on her walkies. I loved the music you used when you were dismantling your bed. Is it possible to pass on the name of the artist? Thank you. Donna from North Carolina.
Oh fun. I'm so glad to be a part of your therapy team 😅. It was lovely to see your home again, Joel. And I'm so glad you got the chance to do this, it's really nice to be able to say goodbye in a good way as you transition this to a rental. Also glad your rented didn't take your matters, as I've just had a renter move out who is costing me a lot in repairs and replacements. Yay for getting to watch more and hopefully get to see Lucy again too. Thank you again for sharing so much with us.
Love being part of the therapy group! I highly recommend it!! Let me say how many of your posts make me laugh when I need it the most! Your podcasts really help this mom over here! My son is gay and I love hearing your and Keagan’s point of view! Your bed (sofa) cushions don’t look that comfortable! 😂 ( might have been on another video)
50 person here. 👋 My eyes have been horrid since childhood. 😅 Seriously, though, I've learned that yellow tinted glasses are great for night driving. They cut the glare and help fight fatigue.
i'm not sure if you know it or not but you there's a medication you can take to treat your hyperhidrosis, as an alternative to getting botox injection.
Joel, Sweetly sentimental video, despite the clickbait title.😮 It took me all of 2 seconds to see your face did not look heartbroken enough to be a breakup report. This is, though, one of those lifetime transition points, and most of us I'm sure can relate. Certainly crusty 56 year old divorced, belately out of the closet, guys like myself can. I expect to have one more major move ahead in my life, like you, northward, but American style, lol. I have to get out of this RED state/Bible Belt regressive Louisiana and get myself to solidly Blue-state(but still affordable) Illinois. I used to prefer the Southern climate, but following years of gradually hotter summers, last summer's killer heat wave was a wake up call. Londoners don't say "Hi?" 😢 "Half-a-job Joel?" Love it. I need a new title......🤔 Maybe Mickey Mouse Mike. Ah, good enough. 🙃
I get why you're so self-conscious about wearing your spectacles, but you have no reason to be. All I want is that you're safe...plus it looks good. I've been wearing specs for more than 20 years, and contacts aren't really an option, laser is a bit expensive. I always shop around for the perfect frame, then decide where I will have my eyes tested... with a frame I love, as it will be part of my face for at least 2 years... Wear them with pride, you look great either way. To be honest, I feel a bit naked without my specs, plus I used to be able to pull it off an go out without them, not anymore. 😂❤
Hey Joel, couldn’t you just have slept in Lucy’s bed for a couple nights since Lucy was leaving the bed anyway? Glad you powered through the clear up and clear out. I was also wondering why when you were trying to buy the house up north that selling this property to give you extra equity to put towards the purchase?
Myself, my 26 year old daughter, her friend and my sis in law are coming to London in August to see Taylor Swift! What are some fun places we should go to? We gave no idea and would like to go where locals go. Thank so much!
Not trying to be a Daren, but having the light on in the interior means your doing something that is taking away from being 100% Focused on driving, which is only fair to other drivers because one wrong move and it can cause alot of damage. I drive for a living and the last thing I want to do is cause anyone else harm, but that is just me. Drive safe :)
Oh my gosh! 😢 Thanks for the best attack. Click bait? You? Joel, that was really naughty. 😅 I could never stay mad at you. 😊 I'm SO glad it was not what I was thinking. You didn't lie. 😂
Except around any larger Midwest cities…like around the Chicago & Milwaukee area…nobody says hello and if you do say hello to someone from Chicago their reaction would be to look at you like your hair was on fire…been there, done that!😅
My husky Hatty loves her pup cups! And making a mess of the car with it too!😂 And yes, my parents said the same thing about that light in the car! It seems no matter where in the world you are, it's just a parent thing, I'm in Iowa!🙃
Joel, you’ve mentioned you wanted an investment property but doesn’t this qualify as one? I know it’s joint with Lucy but still. Also, wouldn’t running it as an Airbnb be more profitable than renting?
I'm not sure, it's a 25 minute walk from the nearest train station, so I think for people wanting to come to London, they'd want somewhere a little closer. But, maybe I'm wrong!
Joel, did you mean to scare the shit out of everyone with this title???? 😭
I think he did!
Seriously
Right?!🤦🏻
Clickbait, but we still love him, right?
Of course he did! Trickster.
The title of the video almost took me out 😂 I was stressed for a moment omw!! Love you guys #lovefromSouthAfrica🇿🇦❤️
Not to worry you look good in classes! 🤓
Thanks for bringing us along, Joel! I love a walk down memory lane. Looking forward to seeing Lucy too 🙂
It was so nice seeing your old house again. Moving out does come with some nostalgia. But as you said, your life has gotten even better now with Keegan so there really isn't any sadness about leaving. And it's still yours and Lucy's. What a great investment.
Oh good..I'm not a member so glad to see that moving out doesn't mean a breakup with Keegan.
Yay!!! I'm first! 😂😂 Nostalgic but knowing you have a year up North under your belt, is also wonderful! Always ❤
Can’t believe it’s nearly been a year already!!!!
@@TheJoelWood I know! But as they say...."Time flies as you get older." They aren't wrong. Always ❤️
What a great "visit" to the London house. It really makes me happy to see you and Lucy moving on to new lives and adventures. The word "stability" keeps coming to mind. You are "growing up" Joel and the future looks bright. Take care and say hi to Kegan.
Look into short term rentals to tourists. You are then able to use the home whenever its available.
Loved the video but I was hoping to see Lucy when she arrived!!

@@shawnmarie459 , be careful that you're not masking what could be potentially life-threatening.
@@CabinFever52 Yeah. I think a neurologist is our next step.
@@shawnmarie459 , I wish her best of health and a very long and happy life.
Joel, you will always have the beautiful memories. Wishing you all the best with the home. .you may want to put security cam in back an front yards or put sign up front an back saying protect by Cams. This may help with the bad peeps .sorry that we live with that. Safe travels.
I'm impressed. Hope to see Lucy in the next video. Miss her.
Oh all them memories at that house where you lived when you met Keegan. Nice to see this closure on your London house.
😢❤ Salutations from coastal Mississippi. I remember when y'all moved into that house. Oh the memories. Moving on means moving forward. Wishing you happiness in 2024. I have friends in Southampton 😂

Aw, my heart felt some twinges seeing the house. 🥰
Joel I grew up in a triplex and rented the other 2. This was the rough rule. Jan to March or so plays the house taxes and all our utilities for the year. Tenets pay for their out. You get to use all the money though summer. The fall money was saved for improvements. Every summer you use last years savings. Some years you skip a few summer to pay for a large expensive job like a few new windows. If the math does not work then you adjust the rent.
Thanks for scaring us!! My goodness 😅 💔 So happy everything is actually getting better!
I hope renting the house goes well for you and Lucy. It would be nice to pay it off and have a bit of income from it once it’s paid off.
I love seeing you back in your "home" in London! Wonderful video!
I thought you meant your current house I was so confused
Really glad you're happy Joel.
Deja vu rattles me so badly! My tummy rumbles and my head fogs. But we gotta deal with it now and then. I think you did great! 👏💐🕺
Joel, you need to leave a towel and paper towels in the car, that way if one of you are eating you can cover the area, like the seat Ava got the whipped cream on.
I haven't watched in quite a bit I didn't even know Joel moved to begin with!!
Love your vids...i was in the army, and moving was part of life... I understand how you feel. U just need closure,and be able to be greatful for what you have now.

Nice home. What’s the green paint in the office?

Am really glad you are having closure and it’s been a good experience. It’s also a good sign that you made the right decision moving northward. Isn’t that great😊
The house!! Still very cozy and nice. Ava seems happy to be back at the house.
Through the winter jacket ?
LOL! Cushions on the floor will "feel like a crack den"? You're so funny!
Great video, but FYI Garlic isn’t bad for dogs, however onion is !

It will be weird to see your old house I remember went first vlog there
Was so good seeing you back in your home and Ava on her walkies. I loved the music you used when you were dismantling your bed. Is it possible to pass on the name of the artist? Thank you. Donna from North Carolina.
Good luck with renters. I would never do it.....too much potential damage. Maybe your market there is good and you can sell and make a good profit?
Oh fun. I'm so glad to be a part of your therapy team 😅. It was lovely to see your home again, Joel.

Make lot of material on Tuesday please. Massive blizzard is on to arrive.
Thank you for the video!
I clicked so fast… because I couldn't live with the fact that you and Keegan are no longer together
Who is Lucy im new to your channel
Only you know you’re filming vs FaceTime with someone. You do what you want and don’t worry about anyone else.
Love being part of the therapy group! I highly recommend it!!
Let me say how many of your posts make me laugh when I need it the most! Your podcasts really help this mom over here! My son is gay and I love hearing your and Keagan’s point of view!
Your bed (sofa) cushions don’t look that comfortable! 😂 ( might have been on another video)
Aw thanks Dawn! So glad you enjoy my videos!! And HHH!
It's NOT home Joel ; it's a previous residents.
Home is where Keegan IS.
Love you and your vedios. ❤
P.S. said that before watching the whole vedio.
As you get older, any extra light causes glare and a distraction when driving, even in the car. Wait until you hit your 50s! 😮
50 person here. 👋 My eyes have been horrid since childhood. 😅 Seriously, though, I've learned that yellow tinted glasses are great for night driving. They cut the glare and help fight fatigue.
Omg my parents said the same thing, about the lights being on in car. Is that a thing or where did they get that from?
Well, we see it wasn't just in the US. 😅
Aahh that’s helped to settle you up North you see 😂. Hope you get tenants soon ❤
0:52 Joel, you look cute with the glasses.
It was illegal to have the light on inside.
Or at least that's what we were told. I fully remember my parents and grandparents saying that.
Nice program , despite the clickbait title.

Wait did you an Keegan part ways? The house looks so cute

I absolutely believed that lie about the car light & was furious to find out as an adult that my parents are fithly liars! 😂😅
Haha same!!! I’m was always terrified about turning the light on haha
I learned something new today. Guess who regularly tells her teenager to NEVER turn the light on when we're driving.
Take it all! You have a larger car now🙂
Did you spot any Wombles while you were on the common

How many wee's do you hear?
In the U.S. Midwest, we say hi to everyone! How dreary not to be friendly.....it's free.
Except around any larger Midwest cities…like around the Chicago & Milwaukee area…nobody says hello and if you do say hello to someone from Chicago their reaction would be to look at you like your hair was on fire…been there, done that!😅
@@deetles98 I worked in DT Chicago for the last 18 years before I retired. I enjoyed lots of "hellos" and smiles everyday.
VERY old school TH-cam video title 😂 Got 'em!
I’m really I’ll at the moment; you upset me so much 😢
What does PAT stand for when you say electrical items need to be PAT tested?
Portable Appliance Testing. Anything electrical and portable. So toaster, microwave, kettle, TV etc
What is "PAT"?
PAT stands for portable appliance testing, it's basically to test if the electrical appliances are safe to use
My husky Hatty loves her pup cups! And making a mess of the car with it too!😂 And yes, my parents said the same thing about that light in the car! It seems no matter where in the world you are, it's just a parent thing, I'm in Iowa!🙃
As someone who was a grad student in dc, I LOVE these London tenancy rights haha
My Dad used to tell us kids it's against the law to talk in the car while driving in town. We believed it! Lol
Joel, you’ve mentioned you wanted an investment property but doesn’t this qualify as one? I know it’s joint with Lucy but still. Also, wouldn’t running it as an Airbnb be more profitable than renting?
The real ones weren’t worried about the title at all.
Keegan is such “the boyfriend” of your channel that everyone freak out with the title 😂
Your L.A. therapist says that your grief and mourning issues over leaving London are resolving nicely. I’ll mail you my bill in the morning! 😂
I'd suggest you not wear your coat in the car. I have the same problem and it helps tremendously by not wearing heavy sweaters or coats in the car.
Joel, would you make enough if you turned the house into an AirBNB?
I'm not sure, it's a 25 minute walk from the nearest train station, so I think for people wanting to come to London, they'd want somewhere a little closer. But, maybe I'm wrong!
Looking at the amount of work you had to do in the time you had to do it in was giving me anxiety 😂
She sold your mattress!?😮
Almost had a heart attacking thinking the worse from the title of this Video! 😭
Joel, you look gorgeous with your glasses on - definitely (not) Nana Myskouri vibes at all
Glasses DO look really good on him.
“We don’t say ‘hi’ in London.” Or most cities anywhere, truth be told.
Greetings my dear Gay mates ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
