I don't know who would say those ugly things, and ask personal questions about jobs but that is terrible! Anyone should know you cant share every single thing about your lives. I enjoy watching you guys you make me smile and I need that. Your children are so well behaved and sweet, just keep doing what you do and the nosey people just ignore them. Hope you get more than the asking price for your home because of all the work you have put in.
The invincibility of youth is a beautiful thing! Follow your dreams until you run out of dreams! Us older people remember starting out just like you. That's why we love your channel!
I don’t see how anyone could leave a negative comment. You two are hard working people and part of homesteading is to be self sufficient and not dependent upon something like a 9-5. I think you guys are doing an amazing job and I cannot wait to follow the journey with both of you, the kids, and grumpy 🐈
It is good that you keep some things private. People don't need to know everything. If they want it painted they should buy it and paint it. Have a good day! Nice to see young people being so responsible.
It’s hard to understand why people feel the need to criticize your life. I get so inspired to work on my own stuff after watching you two. Keep doing what you do, most of us are LOVING it. Transformations are very compelling.
The property is looking great ! When you get a good price for it all that hard work will have been worth it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.... and the best of luck with your move. You deserve it ! Blessings.
U inspire , U encourage , U respect , U are dedicated to family. U are the cutest couple. So who would not want what u have. Positive people stick together. Let go of the negativity .. Your genuine and this is what the world needs right now . Keep up the Great job u r doing !
You guys have really done a great job on the property. My favorite project was the kitchen renovation. So much work needed to be done and that dang countertop took forever to come in, but you pulled it off and it looks great. You'll definitely get a return.
Such kindness and patience about those intrusive questions! I was brought up with knowing it was never anybodies business how much money you have, or where it comes from. That was one of the most private parts of someone's life. Unbelievable to me that so many people think it is their business when it is just plain rude beyond curiosity. You handle all that with grace and that is very admirable.
I totally agree. People behave as if their parents were chimps or something. No home training, no understanding of boundaries, just open mouth and what's in that underdeveloped brain, pops out. smh
Sherri B Sir I believe it still is considered not NICE to ask someone about money and how much they make. if someone asks me ( rarely but it happens) I try to avoid the answer politely if the person doesn’t understand I’ll tell I don’t want to talk about it. if they’re not nice I’m not going to be either. I have close friends for 15 or 20 years and I still don’t know how much they earn. not my business. if they need help that’s another thing. but asking about people’s earnings still not nice in today’s Europe. don’t know about US.
Beggars???Who would say such a thing?You are both hard workers,I watch other channels where they just talk and have lots of ads,you work so much harder than most I watch.Just worry about you and your lovely family,not what TH-cam viewers say.Loyal viewers love what you do!
You have such a great work ethic, as shown by your videos. Don't let the downers get to you. They are talking out of petulance and more likely than not, some jealousy about what you have accomplished in the short time you've been there, showing them up. You guys kick @$$. I really enjoy your channel. I just stumbled on it while searching for mobile home remodel ideas. (The poly wall one popped up. I loved the idea. Kinda reminded me of the walls in traditional Japanese homes.) You are doing what I call "flopping" a house. Living in it while fixing it to sell, even if that wasn't the original plan. Moving into a place, start fixing it then having to hurry and finish it in order to move again is something I've done more times than I'd like to admit, in both stick built and mobile homes. I'm currently trimming out the big bay window in my MH. I'm really close to finishing the current stage of the full remodel. It's slow going. I can't work like I used to - too many things hurt or don't work well, lol. So I do what I can as the budget and old bones allow. I've been living "under construction" for 6 years now and I'm ready for it to be done. I've got the bathroom to do yet, then the front porch needs new stairs, handrail and awning. I may even make it into a sunroom. I plan on this being my last one. I'm getting it ready for me to age in place. It's in a 55+ park. I'm getting too old for this carp anymore. lol I totally get the minimalist ideology. I bought into the consumption treadmill for too many years. I've been downsizing as I go. Nothing is more of a reminder of how much stuff you don't need as having to look at it daily stacked in the livingroom while remodeling the other rooms. I've started calling it my pilot house - pile it over here, then pile it over there. It's not funny anymore. I'm planning on the Big Purge as I sort through things to put them back where they belong. I hope you will continue to document when you move on to your next endeavor. Camera tip: Once you get the button unstuck, you can put some clear packing tape over the button to protect it when you are filming sticky/grubby work.
That camera tip sounds simple and neat, maybe we'll try that! Thank you so much :) I hope you can get your home all fixed up so you can just sit back and not have to do that anymore. Moving things from room to room gets old fast, haha! And then you wonder why you even have the stuff. Yea, we've gone through the Big Purge multiple times, "stuff" has a way of multiplying even when you don't want it to! At least some people have benefited from our free piles, lol. Hopefully they aren't hoarders and we are contributing their problem, haha. Our bad spot is the garage, it never fails to get messy, probably because we don't have any shelves or ways to organize the tools.
Good for you!! You don't need to justify ANYTHING you do or don't do. And fixing, cleaning & updating your property speaks volumes of who you truly are. You are a hard working couple, with great morals, who care
I agree with you to not paint the paneling. Simply because if you are selling soon, the new owner gets to decide. It can't be undone once someone else moves in.
I've moved quite a few times and have fixed up a few places. My recommendation is to have a place to go before selling your place. You can always write into an offer that you can stay until you find a place, but I hate that feeling of being without a home. Your place looks great and might not sell at all if you didn't do what you've done. The work won't go to waste. I did the same thing... gave stuff away. Put stuff out by the road and signs for people to come and get free stuff. Habitat for humanity were glad to have most of it. I still have stuff I am getting rid of. Take it to Good Will, Habitat, etc. I love the less is more life. I also don't talk about work. Keep up the great videos and thanks for taking us along.
You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! ! You do not have to justify or explain your PERSONAL INFORMATION! !! You already share so much with all of us. I personally think you are two of the hardest working people I've seen in a long time!! I'm looking forward to your next adventure!
yes that statement is ridiculous to me, they do more work in 1 day than anyone I know does in a week, remember they also have jobs,2 children, cook, clean do laundry, food shopping just like the rest of us_ fixing all the things they do on top of that..Lazy?? I don't think so, much admiration for you 2 and love your sense of humor :) Good Luck with your move!
Never answer questions about yourself if you don't feel like it. Your life is _your life. I love the retro look of the wood panels, we had them as kids in several homes. You two have done an amazing job and I like the way you tackle the work one job at a time till you finish it. Thanks for sharing your video and thoughts about moving. Much love and hugs, peace and blessings.
I never fail to be amazed at the willingness of people who don't know you to pry into your affairs. Those are none of their business. If you ASK for opinions I might give mine, otherwise I just watch and marvel at your industriousness (is that a word?) and your common sense - a rare commodity now days.
Love you guys. Down to earth hard working people. I wish there were more people like you. There are too many materialistic people. You guys are refreshing. Wishing you all the best !!
Hello from Nova Scotia Canada. I love your vids..You guys are doing great and a very hard working family! Don't be discouraged by trolls and Neg people..you owe no explanation but the fact that you address their questions says a lot about your integrity. I wish you both much success with the sell and it's adorable to watch Ashley come out of her shell and over come shyness..wtg Ashley!!! Have watched from beginning and want nothing more than to see you prosper!!
What you do for work is you're business. You don't have to give you're whole life story on you tube. You're intitled to privacy. Some people may expect if you do videos you aren't supposed to have any privacy. I believe every one is intitled to privacy. Good luck moving where ever you go. Good luck saleing you're place. Blessings to you.
The value of your trailer is higher if you retain the wood panel in its orginal condition. Perhaps some wood soap to clean it. So kudos to you for holding on to it. There is a trend toward keeping the vintage. So great you're not painting it. Your place looks really nice. My parents bought properties, fixed them up and sold them way back in the 40s and up until the 80s. They made very good money.
I'm not sure why people think they are entitled to know every last detail about your life just because you make videos. You are a hard working couple no matter what you do. I pray that you make a good profit on your property when you sell it. I'm sure it will be just right for someone else. I also pray that you find just the right property when you move. Best of luck.
Glad to hear it is almost time to list your property. The home, barn, and garage look beautiful. My absolute favorite is all the land you both cleared. The vivid green grass that has grown throughout is so inviting to see. You both are a testament to how perseverence leads to accomplishing all you both set out to do. I know great things are in store for you Doug and Ashley and your children. You will always be an asset where ever you decide to live because of your integrity and love of nature. I feel privileged to have been allowed to view your journeys past and present. God bless you both!
I have painted several rooms of paneling, and it's not easy. It takes a long time and several coats. I think buyers expect to see paneling in mobile homes. Paneling, like it or not, don't paint it.
You guys are really something special. Seriously, you’re so young, yet you seem to have it pretty much together! Unusual in this day & age. Just keep up the good work...remember we’re out here supporting you & learning from you!
People can and do say some really mean things because they can hide behind a computer screen. Stay positive! I have real wood paneling in my basement and I love it.
I would love to see you come to Arkansas. The cost of living here is fantastic, land cost is outstanding, and taxes are practically nothing. Best of all, it's so laid back, quiet, and peaceful here.
The actual name of the fiberglass "cloth" is "fiberglass mat". The most common is called "ounce and a half mat". When I do small fiberglass repairs. I use a piece of cardboard, cut the mat with scissors to cover the area, put a thin coating of resin on the cardboard, lay the piece or pieces on the wet resin, coat with more resin, roll out until the mat is saturated, wet down the area that you want to cover, peel the mat off the cardboard and apply to the area. It works really good when you need to add a couple of layers or are glassing a horizontal or upside down surface. If you want adhesion and don’t care so much about pretty, you can scratch the area with some rough paper like 36 or 50 grit just to knock the loose stuff off. Good luck with the sale and the purchase of new property. It's nobodies business if/or what you do for a living. Good for you!
You leave things better than you find them and I really have enjoyed watching every video you have made.I hope God blesses you with a good buyer and a new beautiful place to call home!,God bless you and your family!!
Your trailer looks so good from above! You don’t have to explain yourselves to others. You’re doing a great job. You are intelligent and hardworking. I so enjoy your vlogs. Blessings....
Lol. “If you want it to rain let us know and we’ll start painting”. Seriously, I have not enjoyed any other TH-cam channel as much as I have this one and I’ve been watching you guys for over four years!
Come on down to Kansas and help me paint my house...we are in a severe drought status here and really need the rain! Lol. Almost 13 inches down this year and the crops are suffering. I can't wait to see where y'all move! You guys are amazing!
Never thought you guys were beggars the amount of work you put into that property i hope you turn a great profit. Especially when you cleared all that brush.
You're both doing a great job on fixing up the place. I really hope the place sells quickly for you both and you find somewhere quiet and that speaks to you. I don't understand why people need to pry into people's business. I like to just watch channels on youtube, and figure what the people do when the camera is off, is no concern of mine. If they share it fine, if not, just as fine. If you're ever in need of a quick and easy brush to paint with, you can try smashing end of a thin green tree branch. Make a few splits in one end of a stick or branch, then start to fray out the fibres by smacking repeatedly with a brick, hammer or rock until they resemble a rudimentary brush. If too many break off, just cut it off and start over. Its not pretty and won't last long, but its free and abundant, and it'll do in a pinch :) I relate to being a minimalist. I've always tried to live pretty simply and not accumulate too much stuff, but am not hardcore by any means yet. If i get something new it generally has to replace something I have or upgrade it and serve multiple functions so i can replace 2 things. Stuff just becomes more to clean, to move, to stress and worry about. I need to do a little more downsizing, but at the same time, I also like to buy good quality things which last a long while. Definitely easier though when you're single and don't have kids or people to worry about messing up your stuff.
You two are fantastic!! You are so patient with all the questions coming time and again. You're so close to reaping the benefits of all that hard work now too, so excited for you. Awesome video! 🤗
You guys don't have to explain what your doing to these trolls who go around and troll TH-cam videos constantly. You guys are working towards a goal for your family and showing people how you repair problems around your home. Lots of great info and the place looks so nice and clean now. It's obvious the trolls are jealous and have nothing better to do!
Ignore the keyboard commandos !!!! Why don't you----I would've of ----- You should of---- LOL Constructive feedback is good but not criticism just for sake of it. I enjoy your videos especially because of your age,good to see young people make good of their lives and investments. I live in a mobile home much like the one your working on and enjoy your video input on your work. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your relocation.
I don’t know what you paid for your property but you’re putting a lot of work into it and you’re working together on it and that is great. You’ve definitely upgraded the property value with each thing you’ve done. You’ll definitely come out ahead.
You guys have a vision ard because your willingness to do the work yourself says a lot about your intelligence. Don't allow any of these people tell you otherwise. It is your picture you are painting. You have a lot to be proud of. Doing a great job.
Wow!!! What kind of insect is that???? I'm anxious for the selling process and the move...sure hoping it all goes smoothly, and you find your forever home. You may not be attached to your property, but I'm a little sad to see it go...the journey has been amazing, and you've made a huge transformation!!
Thanks :) I believe it is a type of digger wasp. The female kills an insect and brings it to a hole she's digging. Then she drags the insect inside to lay an egg on, comes out to cover the hole, then leaves! You can see the dead cricket next to her as she digs.
Save money on repairs to fiberglas roofing by using Flex Seal spray. Careful using fiberglass sheets it will make you ITCH. you should get a paint brush for the resin with hardner. How you ever noticed that whenever you wash your car it always rains.
"Where did you learn all this stuff?". Hahaha I am self taught, I strip and prep, jib, stop and plaster, paint, paper, plumb and do electrical I am permitted by law to do, build inside and outdoor structures, and I am all self taught. The majority of times I get it right first time because I thought it out first. To me it is just common sense... read the instructions and do it or stare at it and figure it out. I've never really had any problems doing what needs to be done and I have very rarely ever hired a professional. I don't do the vehicle though beyond changing the oil and rotating the tires... I leave the rest up to the mechanic. I am a 60 yo female and I am still amazed at people who can't do these things, won't even attempt it. Just try it! Love the way you closed out today's video, you had me to the end..... and don't forget the mound. I really want to know if there are interesting things buried there. I imagine you uncovering something fascinating that belonged to the old school house and leaving it for the new owners to make a feature out of. What a selling point!
You two are just too cute. I love watching your videos. From the first video I saw of yours I have felt like we were old friends.You make me smile. You are an oasis for me.
Love watching you guys. Love the live you live. Totally understand your reason s for wanting peace in your life. Wish you both so much luck in finding your new home and adventure. Look forward to watching your future videos 👍
I think you’re smart to leave the paneling because it’s an easy job to paint it if the buyers don’t like paneling but if a new buyer likes the paneling, once painted it can’t easily be brought back to original. You’re taking care of the work that needs to be done and doing a great job.
When it comes to fiberglass repairs such as the barn roof, there is a fiberglass woven cloth which is used in marine and auto body repairs. That material would be MUCH more user friendly than the loose fiber material you used.
Amazing how you have to talk loud to be heard above the sound of the road. Your place looks so sharp. I'd have the same problem with the highway noise but otherwise, I'm like you. I love that property. I see you as "flippers" you bought low, fixed it up and will make some profit on it. That didn't used to be called flipping but, it was a starter home and now you're moving on. Good for you. What is a "real job" these days? Many people work from home and work on the internet. People have to mind their own business and do what makes them happy. So happy for your progress. I really look forward to your videos.
I re roofed my mobile home 8 years ago. I learned how to do it and did it felt rewarding. I and hubby put flooring in pergo in hallway kitchen bathrooms and living room we love doing things for our place
If you like the panelling, that's all that matters. My MIL still keeps her panelling in her kitchen & bathroom and conditions it with Murphy's Oil Soap. All your renovations will pay off in the long run. Wish you all the best with the sale of your property!
i have cleaned for people with wood paneling and used old english to shine it but i like your murphys idea better (dont have to explain that the paneling might be flammable for a while) !!!!!!! oooops.
country living city noise, that would make me want to move also. even though your intentions were not to flip the property I still hope you make a beautiful profit for all your hard work. I have been binge watching. I'm hooked and looking forward to what comes next.
You're more than welcome to move here in Southern WV, Historic Matewan area, you have proven you can make it with work, Y'all are great. Keep fighting the good fight.
Gosh i hope you stay in Indiana ! We live near Clark County Forestry and in this area there is a lot of country living it is a little high priced in real estate because the forestry is a huge draw for horse people which we are . the great thing is you could get a fixer upper cheap ! You guys are so gifted and such hard workers. God Bless You All post soon please.
You both have done such amazing work on the property. It's beautiful and should catch the eyes of prospective buyers. I wish success and that everything goes smoothly for you. I did a lot of DIY on the house my parents owned in PA after they passed away. Also, I don't feel that your financial and work life is a concern to anyone. It is not right that you are subjected to any negative or intrusions. You are nice people, remember No is a complete sentence. Thank you so much for sharing. :-)
I only just found you guys here. I have watched every single video you have posted and have fell in love with you guys. Little maverick makes me smile bless him. He just wants to help. I hope you keep posting when you move to your new home. I like the paneling to. Besides, you're selling it, the new owners can chose to paint the paneling. Keep up the good work guys. New subscriber and going to stick to you guys like resin to a barn roof ❤️
Wow, thank you so much! Exactly about painting the paneling! And there is a possibility the new owners will like the paneling and would hate it if we had painted it :) Yea, we'll continue to post videos after we move 😊
Awesome video! You guys have such a refreshing attitude towards life and everything. I enjoy watching you guys do what you obviously love! Great channel, great tips, great synergy between the two of you, great vibe from you guys. Keep it up, we’ll keep on watching
I think what you hv done is amazing..the work on the mobil home and property at large is amazing. I think you moving and selling at a profit is such a great thing. Why not make a profit? I have gone back and binge watched all your channels videos. You guys work so well together. Its inspiring. I hv a new question about the paneling. " when will you stop talking about not painting the paneling?" Ha ha. Do what you want. Don't worry about what others think. If someone wants it painted. They will paint it after they buy it. Love your sweet daughter and your funny babay boy..
When it's raining in your area, it's not a joke ! Very impressive ! I wonder, if you don't mind me asking, will this property be easy and quick to sell ? Thanks for sharing, take care. 😊👍👍👍
You both are so precious!! God Bless you and guide you for your next adventure. It's been awesome seeing what you have been doing. God Bless you. B. Darlene from Kentucky

Surprisingly yes, but it's much quieter than being outside.
@Klaa2 its the windows , new ones block sound so much better...the tech has advanced so much in the last few years

The invincibility of youth is a beautiful thing! Follow your dreams until you run out of dreams! Us older people remember starting out just like you. That's why we love your channel!
Never ever worry about what other people think about U! Ur both great people & have a great family life! Keep it real country!

I like the paneling and who ever buys yr home can paint it their own colors if they want to.....your property looks great......
Hey! I'm in California....PLEASE start painting so we can get the rain, ha!!
The property is looking great ! When you get a good price for it all that hard work will have been worth it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.... and the best of luck with your move. You deserve it ! Blessings.

If you ASK for opinions I might give mine, otherwise I just watch and marvel at your industriousness (is that a word?) and your common sense - a rare commodity now days.
Love you guys. Down to earth hard working people. I wish there were more people like you. There are too many materialistic people. You guys are refreshing. Wishing you all the best !!
Hello from Nova Scotia Canada. I love your vids..You guys are doing great and a very hard working family! Don't be discouraged by trolls and Neg people..you owe no explanation but the fact that you address their questions says a lot about your integrity. I wish you both much success with the sell and it's adorable to watch Ashley come out of her shell and over come shyness..wtg Ashley!!! Have watched from beginning and want nothing more than to see you prosper!!
What you do for work is you're business. You don't have to give you're whole life story on you tube. You're intitled to privacy. Some people may expect if you do videos you aren't supposed to have any privacy. I believe every one is intitled to privacy. Good luck moving where ever you go. Good luck saleing you're place. Blessings to you.
Every house we have lived in we made it better before we moved on. It feels good.
The value of your trailer is higher if you retain the wood panel in its orginal condition. Perhaps some wood soap to clean it. So kudos to you for holding on to it. There is a trend toward keeping the vintage. So great you're not painting it.
Your place looks really nice. My parents bought properties, fixed them up and sold them way back in the 40s and up until the 80s. They made very good money.
You two are a really likable couple and you work wonderfully together.
You're doing the right thing getting a realtor to sell your property.There's too many legal pitfalls to sell it yourself.I wish you well!
I'm not sure why people think they are entitled to know every last detail about your life just because you make videos. You are a hard working couple no matter what you do. I pray that you make a good profit on your property when you sell it. I'm sure it will be just right for someone else. I also pray that you find just the right property when you move. Best of luck.
We had a 1985 Fairmont mobile home. We loved it and the paneling was beautiful. You guys have done a great job on your property.
Glad to hear it is almost time to list your property. The home, barn, and garage look beautiful. My absolute favorite is all the land you both cleared. The vivid green grass that has grown throughout is so inviting to see. You both are a testament to how perseverence leads to accomplishing all you both set out to do. I know great things are in store for you Doug and Ashley and your children. You will always be an asset where ever you decide to live because of your integrity and love of nature. I feel privileged to have been allowed to view your journeys past and present. God bless you both!
I think you guys are awesome and intelligent!!! And adorable!!!!
Come to Australia and paint something, we're in a drought here!
I have painted several rooms of paneling, and it's not easy. It takes a long time and several coats. I think buyers expect to see paneling in mobile homes. Paneling, like it or not, don't paint it.
You guys are really something special. Seriously, you’re so young, yet you seem to have it pretty much together! Unusual in this day & age.
Just keep up the good work...remember we’re out here supporting you & learning from you!
Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Do what makes you happy.
If I want it to rain I just water my flowers. Every time.
No explanations necessary😃. So glad I came across your channel, Life us definitely about the journey not the destination😃
People can and do say some really mean things because they can hide behind a computer screen. Stay positive! I have real wood paneling in my basement and I love it.
I would love to see you come to Arkansas. The cost of living here is fantastic, land cost is outstanding, and taxes are practically nothing. Best of all, it's so laid back, quiet, and peaceful here.
The actual name of the fiberglass "cloth" is "fiberglass mat". The most common is called "ounce and a half mat". When I do small fiberglass repairs. I use a piece of cardboard, cut the mat with scissors to cover the area, put a thin coating of resin on the cardboard, lay the piece or pieces on the wet resin, coat with more resin, roll out until the mat is saturated, wet down the area that you want to cover, peel the mat off the cardboard and apply to the area. It works really good when you need to add a couple of layers or are glassing a horizontal or upside down surface. If you want adhesion and don’t care so much about pretty, you can scratch the area with some rough paper like 36 or 50 grit just to knock the loose stuff off. Good luck with the sale and the purchase of new property. It's nobodies business if/or what you do for a living. Good for you!
You leave things better than you find them and I really have enjoyed watching every video you have made.I hope God blesses you with a good buyer and a new beautiful place to call home!,God bless you and your family!!
Your trailer looks so good from above! You don’t have to explain yourselves to others. You’re doing a great job. You are intelligent and hardworking. I so enjoy your vlogs. Blessings....
Lol. “If you want it to rain let us know and we’ll start painting”. Seriously, I have not enjoyed any other TH-cam channel as much as I have this one and I’ve been watching you guys for over four years!
I would recommend getting an appraisal. It will help you sell your property for more than even the agent thinks it is worth.
Come on down to Kansas and help me paint my house...we are in a severe drought status here and really need the rain! Lol. Almost 13 inches down this year and the crops are suffering. I can't wait to see where y'all move! You guys are amazing!
Never thought you guys were beggars the amount of work you put into that property i hope you turn a great profit. Especially when you cleared all that brush.
I'll attest to that. Just when it's not needed - it will start to rain. That was quite a downpour.
You're both doing a great job on fixing up the place. I really hope the place sells quickly for you both and you find somewhere quiet and that speaks to you. I
don't understand why people need to pry into people's business. I like to just watch channels on youtube, and figure what the people do when the camera is off, is no concern of mine. If they share it fine, if not, just as fine. If you're ever in need of a quick and easy brush to paint with, you can try smashing end of a thin green tree branch. Make a few splits in one end of a stick or branch, then start to fray out the fibres by smacking repeatedly with a brick, hammer or rock until they resemble a rudimentary brush. If too many break off, just cut it off and start over. Its not pretty and won't last long, but its free and abundant, and it'll do in a pinch :)
I relate to being a minimalist. I've always tried to live pretty simply and not accumulate too much stuff, but am not hardcore by any means yet. If i get something new it generally has to replace something I have or upgrade it and serve multiple functions so i can replace 2 things. Stuff just becomes more to clean, to move, to stress and worry about. I need to do a little more downsizing, but at the same time, I also like to buy good quality things which last a long while. Definitely easier though when you're single and don't have kids or people to worry about messing up your stuff.
You two are fantastic!! You are so patient with all the questions coming time and again. You're so close to reaping the benefits of all that hard work now too, so excited for you. Awesome video! 🤗
You both look happy! I love your work ethic! Great video wonderful Q&A :) excited to hear where your adventures take you! ~Trish
you two are such hard working people!
You guys don't have to explain what your doing to these trolls who go around and troll TH-cam videos constantly. You guys are working towards a goal for your family and showing people how you repair problems around your home. Lots of great info and the place looks so nice and clean now. It's obvious the trolls are jealous and have nothing better to do!
Trolls have mental problems. They need to get help but most of them won't.
I really enjoy your videos. I find that the two of you are down to earth, hard workers, God Bless ī
Ignore the keyboard commandos !!!! Why don't you----I would've of ----- You should of---- LOL Constructive feedback is good but not criticism just for sake of it.
I enjoy your videos especially because of your age,good to see young people make good of their lives and investments. I live in a mobile home much like the one your working on and enjoy your video input on your work.
Keep up the good work and looking forward to your relocation.
I don’t know what you paid for your property but you’re putting a lot of work into it and you’re working together on it and that is great.
You’ve definitely upgraded the property value with each thing you’ve done. You’ll definitely come out ahead.
Thank you, we hope so!
I agree. The wood paneling is beautiful. Anyone can have painted walls.
I agree do NOT paint the panelling, especially since it is the real stuff. Also leave alone that cool wallpaper.
ubetchya78 it’s also panelling not paper
I can’t wait to see where your going to move!!! You guys are so fun to watch.
20,000 🎈🌞💕
You guys have a vision ard because your willingness to do the work yourself says a lot about your intelligence. Don't allow any of these people tell you otherwise. It is your picture you are painting. You have a lot to be proud of. Doing a great job.
Wow!!! What kind of insect is that????
I'm anxious for the selling process and the move...sure hoping it all goes smoothly, and you find your forever home. You may not be attached to your property, but I'm a little sad to see it go...the journey has been amazing, and you've made a huge transformation!!
Thanks :) I believe it is a type of digger wasp. The female kills an insect and brings it to a hole she's digging. Then she drags the insect inside to lay an egg on, comes out to cover the hole, then leaves! You can see the dead cricket next to her as she digs.
I think you are hard workers, live your dreams and ignore the trolls.
Save money on repairs to fiberglas roofing by using Flex Seal spray. Careful using fiberglass sheets it will make you ITCH. you should get a paint brush for the resin with hardner.
How you ever noticed that whenever you wash your car it always rains.
"Where did you learn all this stuff?". Hahaha I am self taught, I strip and prep, jib, stop and plaster, paint, paper, plumb and do electrical I am permitted by law to do, build inside and outdoor structures, and I am all self taught. The majority of times I get it right first time because I thought it out first. To me it is just common sense... read the instructions and do it or stare at it and figure it out. I've never really had any problems doing what needs to be done and I have very rarely ever hired a professional. I don't do the vehicle though beyond changing the oil and rotating the tires... I leave the rest up to the mechanic. I am a 60 yo female and I am still amazed at people who can't do these things, won't even attempt it. Just try it!
Love the way you closed out today's video, you had me to the end..... and don't forget the mound. I really want to know if there are interesting things buried there. I imagine you uncovering something fascinating that belonged to the old school house and leaving it for the new owners to make a feature out of. What a selling point!
haha, we'll have to dig into that mound :)
You two are just too cute. I love watching your videos. From the first video I saw of yours I have felt like we were old friends.You make me smile. You are an oasis for me.
I love old wood Paneling!
I will 2nd that!
Love watching you guys. Love the live you live. Totally understand your reason s for wanting peace in your life. Wish you both so much luck in finding your new home and adventure. Look forward to watching your future videos 👍
Don’t worry about trolls. Just live your life the way you want. Have a great day from Australia 🇦🇺
I think you’re smart to leave the paneling because it’s an easy job to paint it if the buyers don’t like paneling but if a new buyer likes the paneling, once painted it can’t easily be brought back to original. You’re taking care of the work that needs to be done and doing a great job.
Old English with lemon oil on the paneling works well !
Dont let people's comments bother you. Your doing a great job and being yourselves. Have fun
When it comes to fiberglass repairs such as the barn roof, there is a fiberglass woven cloth which is used in marine and auto body repairs. That material would be MUCH more user friendly than the loose fiber material you used.
With all the improving you have done I would think you could get 25 to 40% more than you paid for it. You guys are an inspiration to all of us.
Amazing how you have to talk loud to be heard above the sound of the road. Your place looks so sharp. I'd have the same problem with the highway noise but otherwise, I'm like you. I love that property. I see you as "flippers" you bought low, fixed it up and will make some profit on it. That didn't used to be called flipping but, it was a starter home and now you're moving on. Good for you. What is a "real job" these days? Many people work from home and work on the internet. People have to mind their own business and do what makes them happy. So happy for your progress. I really look forward to your videos.
Life is like climbing a flight of stairs, every step you take should bring you to a better place. It's about experiences and learning.
you can use old english oil for light or dark wood which would save on time and money on your paneling
I re roofed my mobile home 8 years ago. I learned how to do it and did it felt rewarding. I and hubby put flooring in pergo in hallway kitchen bathrooms and living room we love doing things for our place
I love you guys and I understand why you are moving. Make your life simple and you will enjoy it so much more.
Ive just started watching u guys. You both r great. Keep up the good work. It takes courage to do what u do. GOD BLESS
If you like the panelling, that's all that matters. My MIL still keeps her panelling in her kitchen & bathroom and conditions it with Murphy's Oil Soap. All your renovations will pay off in the long run. Wish you all the best with the sale of your property!
i have cleaned for people with wood paneling and used old english to shine it but i like your murphys idea better (dont have to explain that the paneling might be flammable for a while) !!!!!!! oooops.
People are very curious, you don't have to answer personal questions. I like to see what you share with us. 😉
If your painting makes it rain...You would get well paid as a painter in Texas right now ! 😁
country living city noise, that would make me want to move also. even though your intentions were not to flip the property I still hope you make a beautiful profit for all your hard work. I have been binge watching. I'm hooked and looking forward to what comes next.
You're more than welcome to move here in Southern WV, Historic Matewan area, you have proven you can make it with work, Y'all are great. Keep fighting the good fight.
Gosh i hope you stay in Indiana ! We live near Clark County Forestry and in this area there is a lot of country living it is a little high priced in real estate because the forestry is a huge draw for horse people which we are . the great thing is you could get a fixer upper cheap ! You guys are so gifted and such hard workers. God Bless You All post soon please.
You both have done such amazing work on the property. It's beautiful and should catch the eyes of prospective buyers. I wish success and that everything goes smoothly for you. I did a lot of DIY on the house my parents owned in PA after they passed away. Also, I don't feel that your financial and work life is a concern to anyone. It is not right that you are subjected to any negative or intrusions. You are nice people, remember No is a complete sentence. Thank you so much for sharing. :-)
Hi guys. . .I just got recommend your video. And well I watched all them the whole mobile home remodeling. You guys did a good job.
Thank you!
I only just found you guys here. I have watched every single video you have posted and have fell in love with you guys. Little maverick makes me smile bless him. He just wants to help. I hope you keep posting when you move to your new home.
I like the paneling to. Besides, you're selling it, the new owners can chose to paint the paneling. Keep up the good work guys.
New subscriber and going to stick to you guys like resin to a barn roof ❤️
Wow, thank you so much! Exactly about painting the paneling! And there is a possibility the new owners will like the paneling and would hate it if we had painted it :) Yea, we'll continue to post videos after we move 😊
Awesome video! You guys have such a refreshing attitude towards life and everything. I enjoy watching you guys do what you obviously love! Great channel, great tips, great synergy between the two of you, great vibe from you guys. Keep it up, we’ll keep on watching
Happiness is priceless ❤️
We're getting there...slowly.
I can't wait to continue on your journey with you its been a learning experience and fun!👍👌💖
I think what you hv done is amazing..the work on the mobil home and property at large is amazing. I think you moving and selling at a profit is such a great thing. Why not make a profit? I have gone back and binge watched all your channels videos. You guys work so well together. Its inspiring. I hv a new question about the paneling. " when will you stop talking about not painting the paneling?" Ha ha. Do what you want. Don't worry about what others think. If someone wants it painted. They will paint it after they buy it. Love your sweet daughter and your funny babay boy..
I can hear the highway noise on your video. We left a place with noise like that. Miss the house but glad we left the noise. Mrs CB Ohio
I really do not understand why people say such horrible thing's but you guy's handled it well. Best wishes on the sell and finding a new place!
Great update hope you find your perfect property 👍
When it's raining in your area, it's not a joke ! Very impressive ! I wonder, if you don't mind me asking, will this property be easy and quick to sell ? Thanks for sharing, take care. 😊👍👍👍
You both are so precious!! God Bless you and guide you for your next adventure. It's been awesome seeing what you have been doing. God Bless you. B. Darlene from Kentucky
