lol whoop to the hoo! Love it! 🥳 so glad you like how it turned out! And yes, still married and still best friends! If anything this project made our relationship stronger (but we DID have some struggle and learning moments throughout!)
@@TheLiFeInPinesmarriage can’t survive without the ups and downs. That’s how you grow. There will always be obstacles, it’s how you get through them with love and respect that makes a marriage. Marriage is not 50/50. At times it is but most of the time it can be 60/40 or 20/80 or 70/30. It’s how you deal with it. Always tell each other you love them. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Remember the good times and learn from the bad. I pray you have many more years ahead of you. I lost my best friend and husband of 51 years recently. It’s so hard to go on without him. I miss him every minute. We had more good days than bad and I wish we still had time. Like I said we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow
I love that you honored the history of this home, keeping some of the original features, and also preserving the old papers in frames. Fantastic job, guys!
My favorite part is the kids are getting to experience & participate. Women & girls (& guys) who aren’t afraid to learn & do the dirty work! Rock on.🙏✌️
Yes! The kids were, by far, the biggest MVP’s of this entire renovations! If they weren’t right there with us learning and helping, they were being so understanding and patient when we were spending countless hours there working! Thanks for watching and have a great week! 🤍☺️🌲
Now I understand the term "power couple". This is the best Reno vid I've seen. The work, the craftsmanship, the video and editing. Just gorgeous!! Well done all of you.
I'm so glad you kept the metal kitchen cabinets!!!! I have my great grandma's free standing metal pantry. After several semi successful tries myself ... I sent it to a car paint place. They dipped the entire thing and it went right down to the steel. Then they used several coats of car paint on it. It's an absolute thing of beauty!!!!!
What a great idea! That would’ve cost if a small fortune for how many we had, I’m sure, but for one piece- absolutely! That piece will be in perfect shape for years and years to come! I bet it turned out beautifully!
My grandfather designed kitchens and these metal cabinets were considered ultra modern. Sure wish we still had ours now. Powdercoat finish would have kept them beautiful for another generation or two to love.
😊We are so glad you found us! We really do appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you have a great weekend ahead! New video out tomorrow!! 😉 😊❤️🌲
It's really a shame that all we have is a "Like" button to push because we really need a "LOVE" button to push. The two of you and your family are simply amazing and I "LOVE" this channel. You all and Cajun Country Livin' are my top two favorites. It's always a spirit lifting time when you upload another video. Thanks for taking us on your life journey and God Bless you for that.
🥰 thank you so much for your support through this! It’s friends like you that help keep keep us going! We appreciate you more than you know! Sam your email was incredible and we will respond soon! 🌲 Steve, we also have an email headed your way soon!!! ❤️ 🌲
Whoa, those were the most fried shingles ever!! When you were applying the caulk with your finger following the caulk tip...really neat, I have never seen anyone do that before. The bucket stilts were clever too! The floors are amazing. Stunning transformation you guys did on that whole house. I'm blown away.
The shingles had to be defective! We’ve never seen any that bad either! Yes, that caulk trick is the best! If you wrap a baby wipe around your finger it’s even easier and cleaner! Haha oh the bucket stilts! Ted only went down on them twice- if you count the time shown in this video! 😂 Honestly the floors were probably one of the most rewarding projects we did! They were so hard but the end result was worth it! Thank you for watching! Ted and I have been following along and learning a lot from you guys as well. Keep up the great work!
Such a beautiful transformation. I noticed you all were praying together. Can’t get much better than this these days. Family that prays together, stays together!!
Yes! Love that saying! Our faith is such an important part of our lives that it just wouldn’t feel right leaving it out. We try to throw little mustard seeds throughout our content from time to time. 😊Thanks for dropping in! We hope you have great week! 🌲
Friends…We have already said how proud we are on our daily FaceTimes, but y’all have FINALLY DONE IT!💪 We want to tell y’all that we are so proud of you. Proud of y’all for showing up, every. Single. Day. Proud that y’all worked together and as a family through the tough times. Proud that every time there was a setback, you always found the light and pulled yourselves though. Just proud that y’all kept moving forward. This video isn’t just a completion of y’all’s hard work, but a completion of a season of y’all’s life. We have been truly honored to get to know y’all through this process. Sometimes it’s hard to see how far you have gotten until you look back and seen how much you have grown. Overall, we are truly blessed to of been part of your pinecone (& pine needle) family!🫶 Okay, now don’t forget.. “I’m sorry for what I said when the Sheetrock was on the lift”.
LYDIA! We could not have done this without you and Jim! I still stand by what I said about our friendship being the best thing to come out of doing TH-cam! You guys have talked us out of quitting SO. MANY. TIMES. Helped us, advised us, encouraged us, laughed with us, FLEW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO FILM WITH US! Seriously we love you guys and are SO thankful for our friendship! One in a lifetime kinda friends! xoxo
The kitchen is just awesome. That you were able to keep the old furniture is just unbelievable, plus all the documents you found in the wall. What a beautiful house
Thanks so much! We were so happy that we were able to save the cabinets! And yes how cool the old stuff we found! I mean- gold or guns wouldve been cool… but beggars can’t be choosers I guess. ☺️
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I love how you show so much love and respect for each other. So happy you kept the vintage kitchen cabinets 🥰🥰🥰 where there is God, there is love
Awe, and thank you for watching! 😊🌲 Ted and I do have a great deal of love AND respect for one another and we thank God for that bc we wouldn’t have finished this project with the same attitudes had we not. Big YES, on the kitchen cabinets! 😊
Surely this video should get 10 million views you guys are amazing, and I could see that your family loves God and God loves you so much, thanks a lot for this video❤
I just watched you all and the thing that brought tears to my eyes,, is seeing how you all held hand and prayed as a family. That gave me goose bumps and I love how you all didn’t cut that part out. Thank you and keep it up
We knew from the beginning that our faith was too important to leave out of our content. We always hope to leave little mustard seeds throughout our content! We appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you have a wonderful day!🌲❤️😊
😊Thank you Annetta! Our faith is such an important part of our lives, we just knew we couldnt leave it out of our content! We appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you have a wonderful day! 🌲❤️😊
TH-cam shorts and TikTok have made me impatient and its hard to watch longer drawn out videos. I love that we got to see this entire house renovations in less than 30 minutes. Applause to you! ❤
🥰 Thank you Frank! We are by no means perfect, but we are really blessed with a wonderful family relationship! 🙏🏼 We all hope you are having a great week! 🌲❤️😊
I just bought a house and watch so many shows on selling, buying and renovating houses. So many times a house wont sell because the buyers don't like the colour of the wall or can't imagine the childrens bedroom being used as an office instead. You guys restored my faith in humanity.
lol our favorite about those shows is when they’re like- “i rescue and relocate butterflies, and my wife picks wildflowers for a living so our all in budget is 1.2 million. ” 🤣
What a powerful couple you are. To see you and your children work to transform this 100 yr old house into a home that will live on for another 100yrs was awesome. Restoring those wood floors to life and the kitchen cabinets to give it that retro / modern look was brilliant. I look forward to seeing you build that treehouse. You have that getter done work ethic that is fun to watch. TY for sharing the journey of this restoration. Go sit out on your marvelous deck and put your feet up. You deserve it after all this hard work! No doubt people will love staying in this for vacations. Best wishes and God bless from San Antonio, TX. 👍👍👍👍
It’s not us, but Christ in us that we were able to do it all! The kids were absolutely incredible through it all! Whether they were helping or just being understanding of the long work days… they were awesome. Ted and I thank you for watching! We’re so happy you found our channel and are excited to have you along for the treehouse build! 🌲🤍😊
Welcome to our little pine family! 🌲 Our faith is a huge part of our lives and it just wouldn’t feel right leaving it out. We are by no means evangelists, but we do leave mustard seeds here and there throughout our content. 🙏🏼 We appreciate you following along with us more than you know! We hope you have a great day! ❤️🌲😊
JUST FOUND YOU! WOW guys! TEAM WORK! So proud of you. I’ve never had a partner to help me. It makes all the difference in life to have a partner who shares a vision and works together to accomplish it. The kitchen salvage my heart so happy!
Yay! 😀 We are glad you found us! We really do appreciate you watching and commenting! Team work makes the dream work! 😂 💪🏼 We all hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! ❤️🌲😊
Great job I'm retired construction guy and I honestly can't tell you how many houses I've built remodeled and you and your family did a fantastic job that wasn't easy not to mention the toll it can take on relationships everything looks great
Thank you so much! 😊 we really do appreciate your kind and encouraging words! We definitely had our moments together while doing this renovation, but we 100% came out stronger than ever! 💪🏼 🤗 We all hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲❤️😊
The moment you prayed together as a family. I subscribed! Watching you work together as a family is fantastic! Kudos on the transformation AND God Bless you guys!
Thank you so much Mark! Our faith is such an important part of our lives so we just knew we couldn’t leave it out of our content! ❤️ We really do appreciate you following along with us! May God bless you and yours as well! We hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲😊❤️
@@TheLiFeInPines I’m amazed and a bit humbled that you responded. I see you respond to almost every comment. Wow! That certainly must take some time and as your channel grows (believe me, God has plans for you: Jeremiah 29:11) it might become nearly impossible. I also began recommending your channel to others, another way of spreading the Good News! Can’t wait to see future projects! Godspeed ! 💯❤️✝️
We try to respond to every comment while we still can! 😊We are content with the amount of people who are watching us! The blessing of being able to plant little mustard seeds to thousands of people we don’t even know really keeps us going. We struggle at times with wanting to keep creating this content…. It’s so much work and not much monetary reward. But if someone is saved or started on the right path because of one of our videos…. That’s worth more than anything money can buy right?? We feel the devil on our backs from time to time, but also wonder if it’s God shutting this door… it’s tough to differentiate the two sometimes. We just continue to pray and follow His lead! ❤️ Wonderful people like yourself help to encourage us to keep on swimming! 😊
@@TheLiFeInPines Gosh, it’s kinda cool having a conversation with you. From your responses I believe I’m conversing with Jenna? (I believe your husband is Ted, son:CJ and daughter:Finley and I apologize if I’ve got that wrong. I’ve watched only a few of your wonderful videos.) I am a Prayer Warrior ( I pray for many things and people, also our Country), I would include you & your family in my daily prayers, after my Devotionals, if your okay with that? My wife and I are retired and spend most of our time babysitting our grandchildren, lol. I retired as the Prison Warden of the Attica Correctional Facility after close to 37 years of Service. I started my career as a prison guard and worked my way up the ranks. God has protected me in many stressful situations and I’ll pray that He protects you and your family through your journey. Continue seeking His guidance Ma’am, it ALWAYS works out, especially for His Glory! God Bless my friend!
You got it all right! Both Ted and I respond to comments though, so you never know! 😊 We would appreciate all the prayers we can get! We have so many wonderful people who are praying for us and we can feel it! We can only imagine the things you saw in your career.. Ted’s full time job is working at a local hospital (X-ray and CT) and that can be scary at times… I can only imagine being a Prison Warden. Our country 100% needs prayers! 🙏🏼 May God bless you and yours as well! 🌲❤️😊
We are so happy that the budget did not allow for us to buy new cabinets. They were such a labor of love, but the end result was so worth it! We hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for watching! ❤️😊🌲
Great job. Love that you re-used the vintage kitchen cabinets. They look terrific. Happy to see the bits of old papers you framed. And again...oooh! Goldens! We've had 5...the best fur-kids ever!
It’s such an important part of our lives, we just didn’t feel right leaving it out of our content! We try to leave little mustard seeds throughout our content ❤️ We appreciate you commenting on our video Kay! Have a great week! 🌲😊❤️
Well that was an awesome vids folks. I love how you 2 well 4 of ya work together. God bless and ya I might of teared up dam. 54yr old army vet tearing up. In Canada. Thank you.
I love what you did here! My husband and I just closed on a home built in 1900, two story brick that is beyond rundown. He is 74 and I am 60. This is our retirement project. You are such an inspiration. Love to see other couples that work together. Gods blessings on you both and the example you are setting for your children.
Oh wow! What a great retirement project! I could totally see Ted and me doing something like that in our retirement! You had me at 2 story brick 😍😍😍. I bet it’s going to be amazing when you’re all finished with it! Keep us posted on your progress! God bless you both!
My wife and I laughed when we read your comment. We were both 70 when we started building our retirement home in the mountains. Have done most of the work ourselves with help from our retired carpenter neighbor. Two stories over our garage 1400 sq ft each level. Literally from digging the foundation, pouring cement, framing, roofing we did it all. Almost two years and we are not painting the interior. Hope to be have our C/O in another month or two. Grand kids love it!
Awe, thank you so much for your kind words! Ted and I sure appreciate it and we’re so glad you enjoyed the video! We hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🌲😊
You are so blessed as a family. To watch you pray together as a family & your children working with you is a true blessing. The trade they are learning & that will stay with them forever. When they look back they will always smile. You'll never know how this video has touched my heart ❤️. Continue being great parents, loving God & teaching what is most important in life. Family & God ❤🙏. You did a wonderful job!!
You are so right- we are blessed! The kids have been amazing! Whether it was the eagerness to learn and help, or the patience and understanding with long work nights- the kids are the true heroes in this renovation. Yes, with God and family, what more could you ask for!? Thank you for watching! Ted and I appreciate it so much. We hope you have a blessed weekend and week ahead! 🌲🤍
I can not believe why you still have less than 6K subscribers. I discovered your chanel through Lydia and Jim's and I enjoy it very much. Hello from the Netherlands.
The Netherlands! That’s so cool. 😊Awe thank you, that’s such a nice thing to say. It’s been so hard to want to keep going, but it’s you guys that motivate us to put out just one more video, and one more, one more, etc. lol. Thank you for watching and commenting!
We did keep the cabinets but the sink was not salvageable, unfortunately. The previous owner had drilled holes in it where holes should not be. We contacted a resurfacing company to see if they could restore it but they didn’t recommend we did that. We even scoured the landfill/dump, Craigslist and marketplace for over a year to find a replica… with no luck. We ended up having to buy an acrylic replica. Definitely not as heavy duty, but it was the best we could do!
Thanks again for another awesome video. Jena, you are doing a fantastic job of creating these videos. Love the music in the background. Not afraid of showing your faith in God by praying. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. God bless your family.
Thank you, Charley! We have fun! I feel we don't show our faith enough! Haha theres always a lot going on in our heads on work/filming days.. We don't always film our prayers and things like that but we try to put little mustard seeds throughout our videos. Have a great weekend and God Bless!
Guys....I can only push that LIKE button once...........but; a huge salute to you guys..Sure hope ya'll are doing well with your AirBnB..We are doing amazing for this time of year..We have a Papermill in our town...and they are having a shutdown.........that means GUESTS FOR U$..lov from South Alabama.
Thanks so much! You’ve always been so encouraging to us! The Airbnb is picking up- we’re learning lots! It’s been a rough year with warm temps and no snow! Tourism is down with no snow!! Go figure! 😂 so happy to hear you’re having a great season down there! Woooo! That’s amazing!
This was fantastic! Demo began and I thought, "Oh no, they're going to destroy those kitchen cabinets and sink!" Thank you for preserving that. It's beautiful.
Thank you so much! The sink wasn’t salvageable, unfortunately… but yes the cabinets turned out better than we expected! Thanks so much for watching! Ted and I sure appreciate it and we hope you have a great week!
Wahnsinn. Krasses Video. Was für harte Arbeit hinter einem schönen Heim steckt. Ihr seid eine tolle Familie. Inkl. der 2 Fellnasen. 🤍🐾🐾 Euer Haus ist wunderschön geworden. Und die Veranda mit dem Ofen ist eine geniale Idee. Danke fürs mitnehmen auf eurer Renovierungsreise. War sehr informativ. Alles Gute euch und ein harmonisches Wohnen. 😊
Thank you! 😊 We actually have three furry friends! 🐾 ❤️ we really do appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
Your channel popped up and figured to give a watch. Then saw you praying with your family and gasped with excitement to see Christians working for the glory of God. I instantly subscribed. I usually skip through renovations to the end but actually watched it all the way through. It was so detailed and loved seeing you both enjoying the journey and humor.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Our faith is a very important part of our lives and it just wouldn’t feel right leaving it out of our videos…. We try to put little mustard seeds throughout all of our content…. 😊🥰 We are happy you noticed! Hope you will stick around and continue to support us and our channel! God bless and we hope you have a great week! ❤️ 🌲
Thank you! 😊 Luckily new cabinets were NOT in the budget! They were a labor of love but SO worth it! We really do love this style of cabinets! We wonder why they ever went out of style?? Thanks for watching and commenting Karen! We all hope you are having a great week! 😊🌲❤️
New subscriber from Ontario Canada This is the first time I come across your video and I loved it, because what I saw in this compilation is the love you have for your family and most of all for Jesus. A family that prays together stays together. Thank you for sharing your faith with the world, it is a rare thing nowadays and so so needed. I am looking forward to watch many of your videos. Your sister in Christ Nicole
Hi Nicole! Welcome to the Pine family! 🌲 Ted and I are so glad you found us! 1,000% yes to a family who prays together, stays together. 😊 We thank you so much for watching and subscribing and we are so glad to have you along on our journey! Many blessings to you, Nicole!
Thank you so much!😊 There was definitely some blood, sweat, and tears put into this house! We really do appreciate you watching and we hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
Awe, thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate your kind words. It wouldn't have felt right to leave the prayer out. It's how we made it through to the other side of this project. ☺️ Thank you for watching! 🌲
Our faith is such an important part of our lives that it just wouldn’t feel right to leave it out of our content. We are, by no means, evangelists,.. but it’s our little way of dropping mustard seeds throughout our content. 😊 We appreciate you watching and commenting on our video. It means more than you know! We hope you have a wonderful week ahead!🌲❤️😊
WOW, that doesn't even look like the same house. I am really inpressed. It looked like a shot of your family praying. I like to see that. You are a talented family.
Thank you! We tend to drop little mustard seeds throughout our content. Our faith is a very important part of our lives and it would just not feel right leaving it out. Thanks for watching, we hope you have a great weekend! 🌲❤️😊
Our faith is such an important part of our lives. We knew that we couldn’t leave it out of our content! We are very blessed with a wonderful relationship! Just gotta keep God first! 🙏🏼 May God bless you and yours as well. We all hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲❤️😊
In consideration of the mindset of today's youth (at 76, anyone who's not old enough to draw Social Security is still a kid), I am both stunned, and applaud what the two of you did with that old house. Until a person's duplicated what you did here, they cannot appreciate what you did. I've 'worn your shoes,' albeit not to the magnitude of your project, and there are no words to express the feeling of satisfaction of breathing new life into something old and worn out. There were so many individual things I keyed on during your restoration, but restoring those floors and metal kitchen cabinets topped the list. THANK YOU for preserving those newspaper headers and that thank you letter. You've earned my subscription; now to see what other magic you've breathed into life........
Hi Carl, and thank you so much for your kind and considerate comment! Ted and I sure appreciate it! Especially when someone has been where we are! This video barely scratched the surface of what we put in, but as you said, the satisfaction of breathing new life into something so worn out has made it all worth it! We also read your email, thank you for sending! We're definitely slower to responding to emails so be patient with us. ☺️ Thank you again for watching and for subscribing! It is greatly appreciated! 🌲
That point in the project when the drywall is done is the best. You look around and it is no longer studs, wiring, and plumbing...have actual walls and you can see what the finished project will look like. Oh...and when we finished out basement several years ago, the mud and tape was hired out. Hung every bit of it, but did not have the patience to do the mud/tape...congrats to you for making it through!
Yes! It is so satisfying (but also sad) You do all kinds of work to the plumbing electrical and framing and it just gets covered up! 😂 We say to just hire it out…. But I know that we are too stubborn and too cheap to hire it out if the time comes to do it again! 😂 doing drywall is like having a baby… you forget about the pain just enough to have more than just one😆 Have a great day! 🌲😊❤️
Oh my gosh! I started watching your channel (on the recommendation from Cajun Country Living)when you were just staring to paint the kitchen cabinets. I had no idea you literally rebuild this home! All I can say is WELL DONE! What an incredible team you are. Everything about this home is top notch and beautiful. You should be so proud of yourselves. Love your channel and your family!
Awe thank you so much! Haha yes we always joked and said it would’ve been easier to just to put a stick of dynamite to it and start over. Thanks for watching and following along! Ted and I sure appreciate it. 🌲
... You two are awesome. As are your children. Arduous workers. Unyielding faith. Continuous humor. Forever love. Keep up the wonderful diy work and editing. Hugs from Midland, Texas (oil capital of the U.S.). A.k.a. an avid pinewhatever (😂).
Haha a pinewhwatever! 😂 thank you for sticking around with us! You don’t know how much Ted and I appreciate your support! We hope you have a great week!
Just came across your channel. Awesome work, and love the fact y’all pray together as a family! May God continue to bless your family. Thanks again for the awesome content! 😊
Thank you Steven! We knew from the beginning that our faith was something we couldn’t leave out of our content! ❤️ We really do appreciate your kind words! May God bless you and yours as well! We all hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
I love that you used the old kitchen cabinets, so cool! Everything came out just beautiful, lovely family as well. You’re all very lucky to have each other
Luckily we didn’t have it in the budget to buy new cabinets! They were a labor of love, but so worth it! ❤️ We are truly blessed to have each other! ❤️ We hope you have a great weekend ahead! 🌲😊❤️
So glad you did not trash the metal cabinetry in the kitchen. I was afraid it was going straight to the landfill. I worked on a home from the 1900s for nine months and refinished the metal cabinetry with a galvanized polymer paint. Yes, it was time-consuming, but the results were incredible.
Wow, I bet your cabinets did turn out amazing with the galvanized polymer paint! Where was this info when we were looking it up before we started? Lol! We had a hard time finding anything on refinishing metal cabinets but they still turned out really great! Thanks for watching and we hope you have a great rest of your week! ☺️🌲
Thank you! 😊 it was definitely a labor of love, but it was so worth it in the end! We appreciate you commenting and we hope you have a great weekend!🌲❤️😊
It is pretty crazy! A lot of immigrants came to our area for the mining. So, it’s not uncommon to have newspapers in different languages in these old homes! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great day! 🌲❤️😊
Just found your channel. Amazing! But what made me subscribe is to see you as a family praying. All glory to the Lord. God bless each of you. Looking forward to the next one.
😊 Thank you! We are glad you found us! Our faith is a very important part of our lives, and it wouldn’t feel right leaving it out. We try to drop little mustard seeds in our content when we can 😀 Thanks for following along! We hope you have a great weekend! 🌲
You guys are simply the best! It’s obvious U2 can really work together and love each other as a team as a husband and wife! You have done an amazing Lee beautiful job! Kudos to you guys!
Awe thank you so much! What incredibly nice things to say! 🤍 We do have a great relationship and we owe it all to keeping God first. Ted and I both appreciate your kind words, and thank you for watching! We hope you have a great week! 🌲😊
Thank you! 😊 It was definitely a labor of love! ❤️ We had rocky moments during the renovation, that’s for sure! But we came out of it stronger than ever 💪🏼. Although we did contemplate burning it down more than once🔥….. failure wasn’t an option 😂 We hope you have a wonderful week ahead Miranda! 🌲❤️😊
Привет, ребята! Это невероятная трансформация. В начале я думала, что нужен бульдозер!😉 Огромная работа! И какой чудесный результат!!! У вас не только "золотые" руки но и отличный вкус!!! Удачи!!!
Thank you! 😊 There were many times we thought about burning it down 😝 🔥 Maybe a bulldozer would’ve been better 😂 🤔 It was definitely a labor of love! ❤️ Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We really do appreciate it! We all hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲❤️😊
So glad this came across my feed. I hope and pray my own early retirement project begins in the spring of 2025. I can only also hope I can capture a whole bunch of what I do I can capture on film and have a memory like this in the end.
A dedicated follower, one of your cones dropping in to spend some time with my friends 🌲. Jenna, you did a wonderful job editing and assembling this video. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane and revisiting all your work and celebrating your successes along the way to completion. You, Ted, Finley and CJ learned so much in the process and I believe God used it to further strengthen not only your bond with Ted, but also you all as a family. He has his hand on you and has greatly blessed you. It was nice seeing Finley and CJ involved and also Cliffords supervision cameo 😉. You two did a fantastic job on the house and have much to be proud of. I'm looking forward to seeing you both using the skills developed and your obvious gift for design/decorating, in the raised tent addition to the property. Have a great week ahead and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Thank you so much, Larry! We definitely learned a lot... not just about renovation, but about each other, our kids, determination, trusting Gods plan and so much morel The kids really did help a lot and we are SO PROUD of them! And of course, Clifford is the best foreman! Thanks for dropping in and saying hello! We'll see ya soon!
Now I'm telling you what's the truth, today's people are so smart!!! They can do anything, but it also lets you know that they paid attention in school.
If you don’t know how to do something… chances are the internet does! 😂 That’s how we learn anyways! Thanks for the comment. We all hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
I can remember when we stood first step in our little 1938 home. It was stuck in a time capsule. We worked our day job and worked every day for 6 months fixing it up to the point we could move in. That moment was so precious and our smiles hurt, but we did it! You did so much more, and it's beautiful ❤. I hope you feel the pride you deserve ❤❤❤❤❤
Love that ❤️ It’s such a rewarding process! Sooo much work, but sooo worth every second! Thank you so much for your kind comment. We hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😊🌲
I BEGGED to be able to keep more of the shiplap walls! Sadly, with having to rewire the whole house, the porch was the only wall we could save! I so wanted to save the shiplap (now the grey wall) in the bedroom and the bathroom ceilings! But it couldn’t be done. 😢 And yes! Our kids have been absolute rockstars! Thank you so much for watching! Ted and I appreciate it so much.
Are you flippin kidding me? This came out so beautiful!!!! and you're still married!!!! Whoop to the Hoo!
lol whoop to the hoo! Love it! 🥳 so glad you like how it turned out! And yes, still married and still best friends! If anything this project made our relationship stronger (but we DID have some struggle and learning moments throughout!)
@@TheLiFeInPinesmarriage can’t survive without the ups and downs. That’s how you grow. There will always be obstacles, it’s how you get through them with love and respect that makes a marriage. Marriage is not 50/50. At times it is but most of the time it can be 60/40 or 20/80 or 70/30. It’s how you deal with it. Always tell each other you love them. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Remember the good times and learn from the bad. I pray you have many more years ahead of you. I lost my best friend and husband of 51 years recently. It’s so hard to go on without him. I miss him every minute. We had more good days than bad and I wish we still had time. Like I said we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow
Both kids are beautiful and great. I like this young couple with big kids.
I love that you honored the history of this home, keeping some of the original features, and also preserving the old papers in frames. Fantastic job, guys!
Yes, thank you! We saved as much as we could! Unfortunately, a lot of it was unsalvageable. Thank you for watching! 🌲😊🤍
Very , very positiev fibs. Thank you !
I love that you are a praying family! The family that prays together, stays together💙
Yes! Thank you!🙏🏼
My favorite part is the kids are getting to experience & participate. Women & girls (& guys) who aren’t afraid to learn & do the dirty work! Rock on.🙏✌️
Yes! The kids were, by far, the biggest MVP’s of this entire renovations! If they weren’t right there with us learning and helping, they were being so understanding and patient when we were spending countless hours there working! Thanks for watching and have a great week! 🤍☺️🌲
Now I understand the term "power couple". This is the best Reno vid I've seen. The work, the craftsmanship, the video and editing. Just gorgeous!! Well done all of you.
💪🏼 wow thank you so much! What a generous compliment! Ted and i appreciate you watching and commenting! It means a lot to us! 🌲😊🤍
I'm so glad you kept the metal kitchen cabinets!!!! I have my great grandma's free standing metal pantry. After several semi successful tries myself ... I sent it to a car paint place. They dipped the entire thing and it went right down to the steel. Then they used several coats of car paint on it. It's an absolute thing of beauty!!!!!
What a great idea! That would’ve cost if a small fortune for how many we had, I’m sure, but for one piece- absolutely! That piece will be in perfect shape for years and years to come! I bet it turned out beautifully!
You answered my question about whether they kept the metal cabinets for restoration.
My grandfather designed kitchens and these metal cabinets were considered ultra modern. Sure wish we still had ours now. Powdercoat finish would have kept them beautiful for another generation or two to love.
Outstanding job! Beautiful kids, too
Thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate that! 😊
I’m a 78 year old gramma. In my heart of hearts you two precious kids are a part of my clan. What an awesome post!!
You're too kind! 🥰 We're happy to be part of your clan!
You did a great job on that place. Love your decor choices too. AND your sense of humor and music. Pretty much everything. I'll be back.
😊We are so glad you found us! We really do appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you have a great weekend ahead! New video out tomorrow!! 😉 😊❤️🌲
It's really a shame that all we have is a "Like" button to push because we really need a "LOVE" button to push. The two of you and your family are simply amazing and I "LOVE" this channel. You all and Cajun Country Livin' are my top two favorites. It's always a spirit lifting time when you upload another video. Thanks for taking us on your life journey and God Bless you for that.
Absolutely 😊
🥰 thank you so much for your support through this! It’s friends like you that help keep keep us going! We appreciate you more than you know! Sam your email was incredible and we will respond soon! 🌲
Steve, we also have an email headed your way soon!!! ❤️ 🌲
È saw
There is a love button. It has a heart and the dollar sign. Everything else is just bs.
Whoa, those were the most fried shingles ever!! When you were applying the caulk with your finger following the caulk tip...really neat, I have never seen anyone do that before. The bucket stilts were clever too! The floors are amazing. Stunning transformation you guys did on that whole house. I'm blown away.
The shingles had to be defective! We’ve never seen any that bad either!
Yes, that caulk trick is the best! If you wrap a baby wipe around your finger it’s even easier and cleaner!
Haha oh the bucket stilts! Ted only went down on them twice- if you count the time shown in this video! 😂
Honestly the floors were probably one of the most rewarding projects we did! They were so hard but the end result was worth it!
Thank you for watching! Ted and I have been following along and learning a lot from you guys as well. Keep up the great work!
Such a beautiful transformation. I noticed you all were praying together. Can’t get much better than this these days. Family that prays together, stays together!!
Yes! Love that saying!
Our faith is such an important part of our lives that it just wouldn’t feel right leaving it out. We try to throw little mustard seeds throughout our content from time to time. 😊Thanks for dropping in! We hope you have great week! 🌲
PTL 💜
@@TheLiFeInPines same you you as well. Enjoy your new renovated home.
Love this video! Power of love and hard work!
Thank you so much! Ted and I couldn’t agree more!!🤍💪🏼🌲
Friends…We have already said how proud we are on our daily FaceTimes, but y’all have FINALLY DONE IT!💪 We want to tell y’all that we are so proud of you. Proud of y’all for showing up, every. Single. Day. Proud that y’all worked together and as a family through the tough times. Proud that every time there was a setback, you always found the light and pulled yourselves though. Just proud that y’all kept moving forward. This video isn’t just a completion of y’all’s hard work, but a completion of a season of y’all’s life. We have been truly honored to get to know y’all through this process. Sometimes it’s hard to see how far you have gotten until you look back and seen how much you have grown. Overall, we are truly blessed to of been part of your pinecone (& pine needle) family!🫶
Okay, now don’t forget.. “I’m sorry for what I said when the Sheetrock was on the lift”.
LYDIA! We could not have done this without you and Jim! I still stand by what I said about our friendship being the best thing to come out of doing TH-cam! You guys have talked us out of quitting SO. MANY. TIMES. Helped us, advised us, encouraged us, laughed with us, FLEW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO FILM WITH US! Seriously we love you guys and are SO thankful for our friendship! One in a lifetime kinda friends! xoxo
I absolutely love every thing about y'alls new house.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!! 🌲😊🤍
The kitchen is just awesome. That you were able to keep the old furniture is just unbelievable, plus all the documents you found in the wall. What a beautiful house
Thanks so much! We were so happy that we were able to save the cabinets! And yes how cool the old stuff we found! I mean- gold or guns wouldve been cool… but beggars can’t be choosers I guess. ☺️
Beautiful transformation! Great family teamwork. Your kids are learning lifelong skills too. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Ted and I sure appreciate that. Yes! The kids have learned so much and we’ve grown closer as a family. Wins all around! 🌲🤍😊
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I love how you show so much love and respect for each other. So happy you kept the vintage kitchen cabinets 🥰🥰🥰 where there is God, there is love
Awe, and thank you for watching! 😊🌲
Ted and I do have a great deal of love AND respect for one another and we thank God for that bc we wouldn’t have finished this project with the same attitudes had we not.
Big YES, on the kitchen cabinets! 😊
Surely this video should get 10 million views you guys are amazing, and I could see that your family loves God and God loves you so much, thanks a lot for this video❤
😊 Well that would be crazy! 😝 We can’t believe it’s gotten as many as it has!
God is GREAT! 😊
We all hope you are having a great week! 🌲❤️😊
I just watched you all and the thing that brought tears to my eyes,, is seeing how you all held hand and prayed as a family. That gave me goose bumps and I love how you all didn’t cut that part out. Thank you and keep it up
We knew from the beginning that our faith was too important to leave out of our content. We always hope to leave little mustard seeds throughout our content! We appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you have a wonderful day!🌲❤️😊
6:03 is the moment for me, a family that prays together....so beautiful...such an interesting journey...and a wonderful journey to watch
😊Thank you Annetta! Our faith is such an important part of our lives, we just knew we couldnt leave it out of our content!
We appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you have a wonderful day! 🌲❤️😊
Thank you so much for taking us on your journey of blood, sweat and tears. And laughter. You did an amazing job.
Awe, thanks so much! That means a lot to Ted and me!
TH-cam shorts and TikTok have made me impatient and its hard to watch longer drawn out videos. I love that we got to see this entire house renovations in less than 30 minutes. Applause to you! ❤
Thank you Cherie! We all hope you have a great weekend! 🌲❤️😊
A house like this is a work of art, and the time-lapse really shows that.
Thank you for your comment! It was so much work, but so worth it in the end! We all hope you have a great week! 😊🌲❤️
Y'all should win an award. What you have accomplished is incredible. It's gorgeous. Hugs
Awww, thank you, Carolyn! What a nice thing to say! 🥰 Ted and I hope you’re having a great week! Thank you for watching! ☺️🌲

🥰 Thank you Frank! We are by no means perfect, but we are really blessed with a wonderful family relationship! 🙏🏼
We all hope you are having a great week! 🌲❤️😊
I just bought a house and watch so many shows on selling, buying and renovating houses. So many times a house wont sell because the buyers don't like the colour of the wall or can't imagine the childrens bedroom being used as an office instead. You guys restored my faith in humanity.
lol our favorite about those shows is when they’re like- “i rescue and relocate butterflies, and my wife picks wildflowers for a living so our all in budget is 1.2 million. ” 🤣
What a powerful couple you are. To see you and your children work to transform this 100 yr old house into a home that will live on for another 100yrs was awesome. Restoring those wood floors to life and the kitchen cabinets to give it that retro / modern look was brilliant. I look forward to seeing you build that treehouse. You have that getter done work ethic that is fun to watch. TY for sharing the journey of this restoration. Go sit out on your marvelous deck and put your feet up. You deserve it after all this hard work! No doubt people will love staying in this for vacations.
Best wishes and God bless from San Antonio, TX. 👍👍👍👍
It’s not us, but Christ in us that we were able to do it all! The kids were absolutely incredible through it all! Whether they were helping or just being understanding of the long work days… they were awesome.
Ted and I thank you for watching! We’re so happy you found our channel and are excited to have you along for the treehouse build! 🌲🤍😊
I love it when you guys prayed. You just got a fan 😊
Welcome to our little pine family! 🌲 Our faith is a huge part of our lives and it just wouldn’t feel right leaving it out. We are by no means evangelists, but we do leave mustard seeds here and there throughout our content. 🙏🏼
We appreciate you following along with us more than you know! We hope you have a great day! ❤️🌲😊
JUST FOUND YOU! WOW guys! TEAM WORK! So proud of you. I’ve never had a partner to help me. It makes all the difference in life to have a partner who shares a vision and works together to accomplish it. The kitchen salvage my heart so happy!
Yay! 😀 We are glad you found us! We really do appreciate you watching and commenting! Team work makes the dream work! 😂 💪🏼
We all hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! ❤️🌲😊
It's a blessed seeing whole family working together...❤❤❤
Awe! We pretty much do everything together as a family! Thank you for watching! ☺️
Good to see you have the kids helping. Great to see them learning .
Definitely good life skills to have! Thanks for watching and commenting Steve. We hope you have a great day! 😊🌲❤️
Great job I'm retired construction guy and I honestly can't tell you how many houses I've built remodeled and you and your family did a fantastic job that wasn't easy not to mention the toll it can take on relationships everything looks great
Thank you so much! 😊 we really do appreciate your kind and encouraging words! We definitely had our moments together while doing this renovation, but we 100% came out stronger than ever! 💪🏼 🤗
We all hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲❤️😊
The moment you prayed together as a family. I subscribed! Watching you work together as a family is fantastic! Kudos on the transformation AND God Bless you guys!
Thank you so much Mark! Our faith is such an important part of our lives so we just knew we couldn’t leave it out of our content! ❤️
We really do appreciate you following along with us! May God bless you and yours as well! We hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲😊❤️
@@TheLiFeInPines I’m amazed and a bit humbled that you responded. I see you respond to almost every comment. Wow! That certainly must take some time and as your channel grows (believe me, God has plans for you: Jeremiah 29:11) it might become nearly impossible. I also began recommending your channel to others, another way of spreading the Good News! Can’t wait to see future projects! Godspeed ! 💯❤️✝️
We try to respond to every comment while we still can! 😊We are content with the amount of people who are watching us! The blessing of being able to plant little mustard seeds to thousands of people we don’t even know really keeps us going. We struggle at times with wanting to keep creating this content…. It’s so much work and not much monetary reward. But if someone is saved or started on the right path because of one of our videos…. That’s worth more than anything money can buy right??
We feel the devil on our backs from time to time, but also wonder if it’s God shutting this door… it’s tough to differentiate the two sometimes. We just continue to pray and follow His lead! ❤️
Wonderful people like yourself help to encourage us to keep on swimming! 😊
@@TheLiFeInPines Gosh, it’s kinda cool having a conversation with you. From your responses I believe I’m conversing with Jenna? (I believe your husband is Ted, son:CJ and daughter:Finley and I apologize if I’ve got that wrong. I’ve watched only a few of your wonderful videos.) I am a Prayer Warrior ( I pray for many things and people, also our Country), I would include you & your family in my daily prayers, after my Devotionals, if your okay with that? My wife and I are retired and spend most of our time babysitting our grandchildren, lol. I retired as the Prison Warden of the Attica Correctional Facility after close to 37 years of Service. I started my career as a prison guard and worked my way up the ranks. God has protected me in many stressful situations and I’ll pray that He protects you and your family through your journey. Continue seeking His guidance Ma’am, it ALWAYS works out, especially for His Glory! God Bless my friend!
You got it all right! Both Ted and I respond to comments though, so you never know! 😊
We would appreciate all the prayers we can get! We have so many wonderful people who are praying for us and we can feel it!
We can only imagine the things you saw in your career.. Ted’s full time job is working at a local hospital (X-ray and CT) and that can be scary at times… I can only imagine being a Prison Warden. Our country 100% needs prayers! 🙏🏼
May God bless you and yours as well! 🌲❤️😊
So glad you’re used the metal cabinets and the original cabinets in the kitchen. Beautiful!!!
Absolutely! So glad we did! It was a lot of work, but they were worth it!
Love to see couples working together to accomplish their dreams. I wish I could have found someone half compatible to work with 😌
Thank you! 😊 ❤️🌲 We appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!
Can't tell you how much I love that you kept the cabinents!!
We are so happy that the budget did not allow for us to buy new cabinets. They were such a labor of love, but the end result was so worth it! We hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for watching! ❤️😊🌲
My God some much talent, I'm so proud of you guys ,and teaching your kids your talent. Perfect family truly blessed
Thank you David! We really do appreciate your kind words! We all hope you have a wonderful day! ❤️🌲😊
Great job. Love that you re-used the vintage kitchen cabinets. They look terrific. Happy to see the bits of old papers you framed. And again...oooh! Goldens! We've had 5...the best fur-kids ever!
Thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate that! We’re happy with how the cabinets came out, too! It’s hard not to love Goldens! 🫶🏼 they’re the best! 🌲
The is amazing. I love that you prayed over it in the process as a family. Beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much! Yes, every day we prayed over it and our workday. Thank you for watching! 🤍🌲🥹
LOVE How you guys PRAY as a Family
It’s such an important part of our lives, we just didn’t feel right leaving it out of our content! We try to leave little mustard seeds throughout our content ❤️
We appreciate you commenting on our video Kay! Have a great week! 🌲😊❤️
Well that was an awesome vids folks. I love how you 2 well 4 of ya work together. God bless and ya I might of teared up dam. 54yr old army vet tearing up. In Canada. Thank you.
Awe, thank you so much for watching! Hopefully Ted and I can give you more smiles than tears in the future! And also, thank you for your service. 😊🌲
I love what you did here! My husband and I just closed on a home built in 1900, two story brick that is beyond rundown. He is 74 and I am 60. This is our retirement project. You are such an inspiration. Love to see other couples that work together. Gods blessings on you both and the example you are setting for your children.
Oh wow! What a great retirement project! I could totally see Ted and me doing something like that in our retirement! You had me at 2 story brick 😍😍😍. I bet it’s going to be amazing when you’re all finished with it!
Keep us posted on your progress! God bless you both!
My wife and I laughed when we read your comment. We were both 70 when we started building our retirement home in the mountains. Have done most of the work ourselves with help from our retired carpenter neighbor. Two stories over our garage 1400 sq ft each level. Literally from digging the foundation, pouring cement, framing, roofing we did it all. Almost two years and we are not painting the interior. Hope to be have our C/O in another month or two. Grand kids love it!
I love your style, your remodel, and your personalities. Thank you for almost 30 minutes of joy.
Awe, thank you so much for your kind words! Ted and I sure appreciate it and we’re so glad you enjoyed the video! We hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🌲😊
You are so blessed as a family. To watch you pray together as a family & your children working with you is a true blessing. The trade they are learning & that will stay with them forever. When they look back they will always smile. You'll never know how this video has touched my heart ❤️. Continue being great parents, loving God & teaching what is most important in life. Family & God ❤🙏. You did a wonderful job!!
You are so right- we are blessed! The kids have been amazing! Whether it was the eagerness to learn and help, or the patience and understanding with long work nights- the kids are the true heroes in this renovation. Yes, with God and family, what more could you ask for!? Thank you for watching! Ted and I appreciate it so much. We hope you have a blessed weekend and week ahead! 🌲🤍
I can not believe why you still have less than 6K subscribers. I discovered your chanel through Lydia and Jim's and I enjoy it very much. Hello from the Netherlands.
Same here... From Alabama.
Exactly. Blows my mind on every video. This channel is awesome!
The Netherlands! That’s so cool. 😊Awe thank you, that’s such a nice thing to say. It’s been so hard to want to keep going, but it’s you guys that motivate us to put out just one more video, and one more, one more, etc. lol.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
great house so many good choices in every room! I love the fact that you kept those old metal kitchen cabinets, they look amazing!
Thanks so much! Ted and I appreciate your kind words! We’re so happy the metal cabinets turned out how they did! Thanks for watching! 🌲🤍😊
It is so nice! I love that you guys kept the original kitchen cabinets and sink. It all turned out great!
We did keep the cabinets but the sink was not salvageable, unfortunately. The previous owner had drilled holes in it where holes should not be. We contacted a resurfacing company to see if they could restore it but they didn’t recommend we did that. We even scoured the landfill/dump, Craigslist and marketplace for over a year to find a replica… with no luck. We ended up having to buy an acrylic replica. Definitely not as heavy duty, but it was the best we could do!
@@TheLiFeInPines well, it was definitely not noticeable. I thought it was the real deal! You guys did an amazing job!
Thanks again for another awesome video. Jena, you are doing a fantastic job of creating these videos. Love the music in the background. Not afraid of showing your faith in God by praying. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. God bless your family.
Thank you, Charley! We have fun! I feel we don't show our faith enough! Haha theres always a lot going on in our heads on work/filming days.. We don't always film our prayers and things like that but we try to put little mustard seeds throughout our videos. Have a great weekend and God Bless!
Guys....I can only push that LIKE button once...........but; a huge salute to you guys..Sure hope ya'll are doing well with your AirBnB..We are doing amazing for this time of year..We have a Papermill in our town...and they are having a shutdown.........that means GUESTS FOR U$..lov from South Alabama.
Thanks so much! You’ve always been so encouraging to us! The Airbnb is picking up- we’re learning lots! It’s been a rough year with warm temps and no snow! Tourism is down with no snow!! Go figure! 😂 so happy to hear you’re having a great season down there! Woooo! That’s amazing!
This was fantastic! Demo began and I thought, "Oh no, they're going to destroy those kitchen cabinets and sink!" Thank you for preserving that. It's beautiful.
Thank you so much! The sink wasn’t salvageable, unfortunately… but yes the cabinets turned out better than we expected! Thanks so much for watching! Ted and I sure appreciate it and we hope you have a great week!
Wahnsinn. Krasses Video. Was für harte Arbeit hinter einem schönen Heim steckt. Ihr seid eine tolle Familie. Inkl. der 2 Fellnasen. 🤍🐾🐾 Euer Haus ist wunderschön geworden. Und die Veranda mit dem Ofen ist eine geniale Idee. Danke fürs mitnehmen auf eurer Renovierungsreise. War sehr informativ. Alles Gute euch und ein harmonisches Wohnen. 😊
Thank you! 😊 We actually have three furry friends! 🐾 ❤️ we really do appreciate you watching and commenting! We all hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
Beautiful day beautiful everything is done so perfect. The children room your room. The kitchen is so marvelous breathtaking I love it.
Thank you! We are so happy with how everything turned out. 😊❤️🌲
Couple of hard working kids...how refreshing to find your channel! I'm subscribed.🥰
Thanks so much! 😊 welcome to our channel!! Ted and I are so glad you found us! 🌲
Your channel popped up and figured to give a watch. Then saw you praying with your family and gasped with excitement to see Christians working for the glory of God. I instantly subscribed. I usually skip through renovations to the end but actually watched it all the way through. It was so detailed and loved seeing you both enjoying the journey and humor.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Our faith is a very important part of our lives and it just wouldn’t feel right leaving it out of our videos…. We try to put little mustard seeds throughout all of our content…. 😊🥰 We are happy you noticed! Hope you will stick around and continue to support us and our channel! God bless and we hope you have a great week! ❤️ 🌲
I’m so happy you kept the kitchen cabinets. Your work is outstanding ❤
Thank you! 😊 Luckily new cabinets were NOT in the budget! They were a labor of love but SO worth it! We really do love this style of cabinets! We wonder why they ever went out of style??
Thanks for watching and commenting Karen! We all hope you are having a great week! 😊🌲❤️
New subscriber from Ontario Canada
This is the first time I come across your video and I loved it, because what I saw in this compilation is the love you have for your family and most of all for Jesus. A family that prays together stays together. Thank you for sharing your faith with the world, it is a rare thing nowadays and so so needed.
I am looking forward to watch many of your videos.

Hello Canada!
What a beautiful transformation. You guys are awesome. Hard workers. Thank you for sharing.😍
Thank you so much!😊 There was definitely some blood, sweat, and tears put into this house! We really do appreciate you watching and we hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
you did a BEAUTIFUL JOB !!!!! Be proud !!!!
Awe thank you so much and thanks for watching! 🌲🤍😊
Oh my goodness you are just the sweetest family, thank you for such a heartwarming story 😊❤️
Awe you are too sweet! 🤍🤍🤍 thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate that! 🌲
Amazing transformation! Your family did an awesome job.
The best part of the video was seeing the family pray together.
Thank you
Awe, thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate your kind words. It wouldn't have felt right to leave the prayer out. It's how we made it through to the other side of this project. ☺️ Thank you for watching! 🌲
I love watching you guys video with you guys start your day with God🙏🏼😊❤️
Our faith is such an important part of our lives that it just wouldn’t feel right to leave it out of our content. We are, by no means, evangelists,.. but it’s our little way of dropping mustard seeds throughout our content. 😊 We appreciate you watching and commenting on our video. It means more than you know! We hope you have a wonderful week ahead!🌲❤️😊
Extraordinarily stunning!! What a beautiful family ... I wish you eternal happiness .... I am your followers from Saudi Arabia
😊Thank you! Wow! Saudi Arabia!! We really do appreciate you following along with us! We all hope you are having a wonderful weekend! 😊🌲❤️
It's a blessed seeing whole family working together
❤️
WOW, that doesn't even look like the same house. I am really inpressed. It looked like a shot of your family praying. I like to see that. You are a talented family.
Thank you! We tend to drop little mustard seeds throughout our content. Our faith is a very important part of our lives and it would just not feel right leaving it out. Thanks for watching, we hope you have a great weekend! 🌲❤️😊
I love how you pray together and the way you love each other. The renovation is an added bonus. God Bless.❤❤❤
Our faith is such an important part of our lives. We knew that we couldn’t leave it out of our content! We are very blessed with a wonderful relationship! Just gotta keep God first! 🙏🏼
May God bless you and yours as well. We all hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲❤️😊
In consideration of the mindset of today's youth (at 76, anyone who's not old enough to draw Social Security is still a kid), I am both stunned, and applaud what the two of you did with that old house. Until a person's duplicated what you did here, they cannot appreciate what you did. I've 'worn your shoes,' albeit not to the magnitude of your project, and there are no words to express the feeling of satisfaction of breathing new life into something old and worn out. There were so many individual things I keyed on during your restoration, but restoring those floors and metal kitchen cabinets topped the list. THANK YOU for preserving those newspaper headers and that thank you letter.
You've earned my subscription; now to see what other magic you've breathed into life........
Hi Carl, and thank you so much for your kind and considerate comment! Ted and I sure appreciate it! Especially when someone has been where we are! This video barely scratched the surface of what we put in, but as you said, the satisfaction of breathing new life into something so worn out has made it all worth it! We also read your email, thank you for sending! We're definitely slower to responding to emails so be patient with us. ☺️ Thank you again for watching and for subscribing! It is greatly appreciated! 🌲
That point in the project when the drywall is done is the best. You look around and it is no longer studs, wiring, and plumbing...have actual walls and you can see what the finished project will look like. Oh...and when we finished out basement several years ago, the mud and tape was hired out. Hung every bit of it, but did not have the patience to do the mud/tape...congrats to you for making it through!
Yes! It is so satisfying (but also sad) You do all kinds of work to the plumbing electrical and framing and it just gets covered up! 😂
We say to just hire it out…. But I know that we are too stubborn and too cheap to hire it out if the time comes to do it again! 😂 doing drywall is like having a baby… you forget about the pain just enough to have more than just one😆
Have a great day! 🌲😊❤️
It was wonderful to see such a beautiful family filled with love ,
God bless you all
Thank you so much for watching! We hope you have blessed weekend! 🌲🤍🥰
Oh my gosh! I started watching your channel (on the recommendation from Cajun Country Living)when you were just staring to paint the kitchen cabinets. I had no idea you literally rebuild this home! All I can say is WELL DONE! What an incredible team you are. Everything about this home is top notch and beautiful. You should be so proud of yourselves. Love your channel and your family!
Awe thank you so much! Haha yes we always joked and said it would’ve been easier to just to put a stick of dynamite to it and start over.
Thanks for watching and following along! Ted and I sure appreciate it. 🌲
... You two are awesome. As are your children. Arduous workers. Unyielding faith. Continuous humor. Forever love. Keep up the wonderful diy work and editing. Hugs from Midland, Texas (oil capital of the U.S.). A.k.a. an avid pinewhatever (😂).
Haha a pinewhwatever! 😂 thank you for sticking around with us! You don’t know how much Ted and I appreciate your support! We hope you have a great week!
Just came across your channel. Awesome work, and love the fact y’all pray together as a family! May God continue to bless your family. Thanks again for the awesome content! 😊
Thank you Steven! We knew from the beginning that our faith was something we couldn’t leave out of our content! ❤️
We really do appreciate your kind words! May God bless you and yours as well! We all hope you are having a great week! 🌲😊❤️
You had me subscribing at your prayer. These are the people we like follow in our home. I pray you make a million dollars on your journey!!
Awe thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate that!! 😊🤍
I love that you used the old kitchen cabinets, so cool! Everything came out just beautiful, lovely family as well. You’re all very lucky to have each other
Luckily we didn’t have it in the budget to buy new cabinets! They were a labor of love, but so worth it! ❤️
We are truly blessed to have each other! ❤️
We hope you have a great weekend ahead! 🌲😊❤️
So glad you did not trash the metal cabinetry in the kitchen. I was afraid it was going straight to the landfill. I worked on a home from the 1900s for nine months and refinished the metal cabinetry with a galvanized polymer paint. Yes, it was time-consuming, but the results were incredible.
Wow, I bet your cabinets did turn out amazing with the galvanized polymer paint! Where was this info when we were looking it up before we started? Lol! We had a hard time finding anything on refinishing metal cabinets but they still turned out really great! Thanks for watching and we hope you have a great rest of your week! ☺️🌲
There are no words, what a titanic work! And how great it all turned out!
Thank you! 😊 it was definitely a labor of love, but it was so worth it in the end! We appreciate you commenting and we hope you have a great weekend!🌲❤️😊
That old newspaper (02:08) was Swedish! So cool!
It is pretty crazy! A lot of immigrants came to our area for the mining. So, it’s not uncommon to have newspapers in different languages in these old homes!
Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great day! 🌲❤️😊
Absolutely stunning. So nice to see a couple working in peace and harmony. Beautiful family.👍👍
Thank you so much! Ted and I sure appreciate you saying that and watching! We hope you have a wonderful week ahead! 🤍☺️🌲
I still have my fingers crossed that y'all will do this again on a new house. This turned out to be a truly fantastic series! ❤
I’ll say that it’s not out of the question! We feel like we learned enough to do it again much more efficiently. Time will tell!
@@TheLiFeInPines even if it's just a small possibility, this makes my day! 😀
😊
Watching the 6 of you build that place moved me beyond words…(edit… +1 as I just saw the puppy)
Awe thank you so much! Haha love that you added Clifford in there! 😂❤️ thank you for watching and Ted and I hope you have a great week!
@@TheLiFeInPines the four of you, Clifford and Jesus makes up the 6 :)
Gotcha!!! ☺️
You guys are amazing!
Awe, thank you! You’re too kind! Thank you for watching!
Just found your channel. Amazing! But what made me subscribe is to see you as a family praying. All glory to the Lord. God bless each of you. Looking forward to the next one.
😊 Thank you! We are glad you found us! Our faith is a very important part of our lives, and it wouldn’t feel right leaving it out. We try to drop little mustard seeds in our content when we can 😀
Thanks for following along! We hope you have a great weekend! 🌲
You guys are simply the best! It’s obvious U2 can really work together and love each other as a team as a husband and wife! You have done an amazing Lee beautiful job! Kudos to you guys!
Awe thank you so much! What incredibly nice things to say! 🤍 We do have a great relationship and we owe it all to keeping God first. Ted and I both appreciate your kind words, and thank you for watching! We hope you have a great week! 🌲😊
I have just one thought. How come your channel does not have 5 million subscribers?
Haha you’re too kind. It has been difficult to want to continue at this rate, but you guys keep us going! 🫶🏼🌲
@@TheLiFeInPinesI just found your channel and subscribed! 🩷
That’s a question 🤣
Right cause they are amazing. I'm ready to do a house now 😆 🤣
They just got one more ❤
Oh my gosh this house is amazing! You guys did a great job! Tons of hard work, paid off. I would’ve been divorced with half the house demolished 🤣
Thank you! 😊 It was definitely a labor of love! ❤️
We had rocky moments during the renovation, that’s for sure! But we came out of it stronger than ever 💪🏼.
Although we did contemplate burning it down more than once🔥….. failure wasn’t an option 😂
We hope you have a wonderful week ahead Miranda! 🌲❤️😊
Very Nice work, Take care and be Safe and stay Strong my friends.
Thank you so much! You as well!
I'm from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and I like what you've done. I didn't think you were such workaholics. I give you a lot of respect 🫡
We are workaholics! 😖
But, we couldn’t afford to do the things we do without putting in the work!💪🏼
We hope you have a great weekend! 😊🌲
Absolutely Stunning...Y'all made that look easy!🎉
Thank you Dana! 😊It definitely wasn’t as easy as it looked! 😆 So much work… but so worth it! We all hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!🌲❤️😊
Excellent work

Awe, Thanks so much! Ted and I sure appreciate that! Thanks for watching! 🌲
Привет, ребята! Это невероятная трансформация. В начале я думала, что нужен бульдозер!😉 Огромная работа! И какой чудесный результат!!! У вас не только "золотые" руки но и отличный вкус!!! Удачи!!!
Thank you! 😊 There were many times we thought about burning it down 😝 🔥 Maybe a bulldozer would’ve been better 😂 🤔
It was definitely a labor of love! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We really do appreciate it!
We all hope you are having a wonderful week! 🌲❤️😊
So glad this came across my feed. I hope and pray my own early retirement project begins in the spring of 2025. I can only also hope I can capture a whole bunch of what I do I can capture on film and have a memory like this in the end.
That is such a great goal! We wish you the best as you begin your project!
It’s a lot of work to film everything, but the memories are worth it. 🤍🥰🌲
A dedicated follower, one of your cones dropping in to spend some time with my friends 🌲. Jenna, you did a wonderful job editing and assembling this video. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane and revisiting all your work and celebrating your successes along the way to completion. You, Ted, Finley and CJ learned so much in the process and I believe God used it to further strengthen not only your bond with Ted, but also you all as a family. He has his hand on you and has greatly blessed you. It was nice seeing Finley and CJ involved and also Cliffords supervision cameo 😉. You two did a fantastic job on the house and have much to be proud of. I'm looking forward to seeing you both using the skills developed and your obvious gift for design/decorating, in the raised tent addition to the property. Have a great week ahead and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Thank you so much, Larry! We definitely learned a lot... not just about renovation, but about each other, our kids, determination, trusting Gods plan and so much morel The kids really did help a lot and we are SO PROUD of them! And of course, Clifford is the best foreman! Thanks for dropping in and saying hello! We'll see ya soon!
Teamwork makes the dream work ❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ted and I could not agree more!!! 🤍🌲 Thanks for watching!
Now I'm telling you what's the truth, today's people are so smart!!! They can do anything, but it also lets you know that they paid attention in school.
If you don’t know how to do something… chances are the internet does! 😂 That’s how we learn anyways! Thanks for the comment. We all hope you are having a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
Or watch tutorials on you tube like I did lol
Fantastic
I can remember when we stood first step in our little 1938 home. It was stuck in a time capsule. We worked our day job and worked every day for 6 months fixing it up to the point we could move in. That moment was so precious and our smiles hurt, but we did it!
You did so much more, and it's beautiful ❤. I hope you feel the pride you deserve ❤❤❤❤❤
Love that ❤️ It’s such a rewarding process! Sooo much work, but sooo worth every second! Thank you so much for your kind comment. We hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😊🌲
I love the original shiplap walls!
And these are real life skills for your children. What a blessing...
I BEGGED to be able to keep more of the shiplap walls! Sadly, with having to rewire the whole house, the porch was the only wall we could save! I so wanted to save the shiplap (now the grey wall) in the bedroom and the bathroom ceilings! But it couldn’t be done. 😢
And yes! Our kids have been absolute rockstars! Thank you so much for watching! Ted and I appreciate it so much.
