I’ve never been more entertained watching someone clean out their garage then now! You two are very entertaining to watch no matter what you are doing. 🤚🏻🤚🏻
My 4 year old son and I don't miss an episode. I asked him if he wanted to see DIY Wife, and he asked me: "is it a new episode???!!!" oh my God, his expression when I said 'yes' was pure joy. THANK YOU!
The ‘konk’ sound of Deans head hitting the wood IS PRICELESS, and deserves its own spot on the sound effect board. Keep up the antics Dean, we look forward to them ! ❤
The 1 year later had me dying 😂😂😂 now I don’t feel alone. My husband and I tell ourselves the same thing “how did this happen” lol. I organized my garage last year then after every bbq or party we’d be so tired and just throw stuff in there saying we’ll put everything back in it’s rightful place tomorrow, but life happens. Thank you for sharing this video. Now I don’t feel so bad about myself and I’m motivated to tackle it again this summer! Love you guys ❤
My husband is like, “You’re watching some people clean out their garage?” I’m like, “Yeah, it’s the most entertaining thing I’ve watched all day!” The possum was the best; you should have kept him as your mascot. Darrell, the DIY possum. 😂 You two are so hilarious and I love watching your videos. 😊
They are great to be around because they eat all kinds of snakes! But, you need to figure out how he got in and block that hole... Or he's just going to get back in again 🤣
You’re so right! North America’s native marsupial also eats ticks, snails, slugs and windfall fruits & nuts. I wish more people knew they were good people ☺️ Their poo *is* gross (not surprisingly)
Here I am, sitting on my own watching you guys and I literally laughed out loud when it came up "one year later". You always make me laugh especially when Andrea sees a rodent lol. Great video as always ❤🇦🇺
Oh my soul I cannot I absolutely adore you two. The scream scene was so funny. I have never laughed so much for anyone on youtube. Andrea your house is incredible garages are always overlooked there is no shame.
I laughed so hard at the 15:05 time mark of your video as the statement went across the screen “One Year Later…”!!!! So exactly how it happened for all of us!! What truth you have shown! You are all real and I love it! Keep doing and showing you! Thank you! Great job! And I love your channel!
Well done guys! Dana K White and Cass from Clutterbug have the best decluttering and practical organisation videos on Earth if you need them. Cass is a massive fan of minivans too! Loved the possum, still cringe at the head knock each time.
Who knew that cleaning out a garage would be so entertaining? 🤔 As to which scene was the funniest - that's a tough one. I laughed at both. But I think Dean inflicting a head injury on himself wins out by a hair.
Y’all going to have to this all over again in couple months. 🤣🤣😂 the stress is killing me ! Shouldn’t have cleaned it till you created a solid organization system walls, shelves, walls, drawers cabinets and all. It’s your office literally all your work comes from that garage. I think it’s time for a complete garage remodel ☝🏼😌 I vote garage rebuild time! Edit: Ohh myy 100 thumbs up 👍🏼!! 🥳🥳😅 maybe just maybe we get a garage build ! 🥰
I love that you are showing that even talented people let some things get into a mess, which makes us less talented to not feel so bad about our 'hidden' untidy areas.
“She also did some ballet exercises” + the nutcracker music 😂 Garage looks great! Wouldn’t even mind a part 3! 😉 Also this video confirms it, Andrea is my kindred spirit; the name, high school artist, furniture hoarding, DIYer, and we even had a opossum in our garage last year! We also had to gently nudge it out with a broom 😂 I organized our garage in 2020, it is time for another organization and fingers crossed no dehydrated rat 😄
I told my husband this must be older footage because I didn't see the workbench or saw cart. When you went to one-year -later I died laughing! Sorry. This was such an entertaining video. Loved the opossum! (we once had a baby opossum in our house, 2nd floor! for who knows how long.) My husband has just finished a 2-month long clean out of our garage. You're not alone! LOVED the part where Dean was in all different positions while "helping" move the paint shelves. Great editing. Love you guys!!
Andrea...a tip from my father who is so organized it's scary...he said put things back as soon as you're finished with them, no matter how tired...teach your kids to put their toys away in an organized fashion also That way you never have to wonder where that hammer, drill, toy went to when you need it...next day or month . He's a big believer in hanging things up and taking advantage of that space Hooks on walls to hang ladders, golf clubs, extension cords, etc...can see but out of way. Also, he's built extra storage cupboards along upper side walls with simple doors on them on both sides of garage ( overhead)...they hold all Christmas items...trees, totes, etc. Other side holds things like small coolers, tarps. He then bought a couple of the Sterile lite storage units for things like paints, stains, car wash items. And if you think this is organized, lol 😂, you should see his bookkeeping technique...he can cross reference things 4-5 different ways and can put his hands on anything he needs within a minute...and yes we tease him about it saying he has too much time on his hands... he's 94!!! We've found that out of 5 kids..his traits have rubbed off on all of us a bit... remember... you're also setting good examples for your kids... Love the shows...have learned a lot from you...keep up the good work Question ❓ How does the government's new ruling on FB Marketplace taxing on items affect your projects?
Greetings from Egypt, Andrea looks so cute screaming when she saw that possum like you said, she takes on a lot of work. Also, I love it that Dean gave her a break, and helped with the heavy lifting. Actually, it's nice that you are taking a break from the big projects, can't imagine the stress of posting weekly that kind of content.
Thank you. I am just coming back to a clear, clean, and create an organized work area. Like you, I was Gung Ho and made a truly epic effort and progress last fall until my son's party. When everything was piled back in, in a rush, it had been worked around all winter..... I am ready! Pull it all out and this time.... Organized! I was less than impressed with myself. it was good to see, I am just human, and there is hope.
OH MY! I don't like critters either! haha. I would scream, too! Great job getting it out. I'm motivated now to get a spare bedroom cleaned out and when spring hits, our garage! Thank you!
You guys make cleaning out the garage a fun adventure!!....the whole video was incredible.....from watching Andrea screaming on a piece of furniture.....to Dean riding on kids toys, and talking about golf....just priceless!!!......
I appreciate this. Some of us can go through life feeling like we must be the _only_ one with that spare room or garage so full of junk you can't even walk through it. Having an example of people who look like they "have it all together" struggling with the same kind of "dumb" issues is encouraging.
Y’all are too hillarious!!! I mean if could have even a quarter of Dean’s energy I’d be ecstatic!! And my vote is definitely for Andrea screaming at the opossum!! The garage looks terrific especially with everything having a place of its own now!!! Yay!! Congrats y’all 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
dont feel embarrassed guys, I recently helped my grandfather empty his garage . Im 28 now and ive never seen the inside of it. It took a full month of emptying /cleaning /sales/ organizing/dump runs. Glad you guys can have a additonal great space to work in :)
That was great! Most entertaining video of the year. I'm still laughing over Andrea. I did wonder if she might leave Dean in the rafters when she put the ladder away🤭. We have all been there. (Not in the rafters).You have now spurred me on to finish ours for the second time in a year😁 Different country, same sh**!
Dean falling down was the most entertaining! 🤣🤣 Don’t feel bad about your garage. Mine looks like that a lot from all of the projects that I do and we have to walk though it to get inside 😬😬
So relatable! Don’t feel embarrassed at all! Thanks for documenting it for us and helping us learn along with your journey. Hahaha I laughed out loud with the “spot the red jacket” compilation and the “Easter egg”. I’m sure it was just as fun making it as it was watching it! Plus I’m curious if you tell Andrea the funny things you film before she watches the edited episode? Because I would’ve laughed and loved how Dean not ONLY emptied the garage while she was gone and talking with her sister, but also made an epically funny bit while dominating it! Dean you are one the main reasons why people watch this channel! Love you both!!!!!! Happy future projects now that your home base of supplies and tools is clean and tidy🙌🏻💪🏻!!!
I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. I’d been procrastinating over organising my storage unit thinking that it’s an unmanageable mess. But now that I’ve seen your video I realise that I was wrong. My storage unit is just fine and I can deal with it. A million thanks!!!
I have a three car garage that can only fit one car. I found your vid to give me some motivation. I'm only 7:54 into it and am going to tackle my own garage clean out for a couple of hours before work and return afterwards. Mentioning the time is REALLY helpful to combat the "I don't have enough time to make any progress"...you've proved a lot can be done in just an hour. Thank YOU!!
😂I needed to see this. Dean’s commercial did it! 100% laughter. I love the channel but this is my favorite video! Thank you both for sharing great content. I love watching it because I learn and laugh the entire time. I think you guys are awesome!
OMG, this video came up in my suggestions and I'm so glad I watched. The way she barely tolerates all of his nonsense (ninja moves, pogo stick, posing) is hysterical. So relatable to anyone who's ever done a project like this with their partner/spouse. SUBSCRIBED.
I'd recommend to fix and seal the concrete floor, it would stop the dust and be a substantial improovement. Together with cabinets along one of the walls and a nice worktop on top of those, that garage can turn into something really nice. That garage bulding with the high roof and rafters has potential. It was really fun and entertaining to watch. Andrea standing on that piece of furniture and screaming in panic was hillarious.
Yes I agree paint and seal the floor. And why put the bike rack in the way of the timber and paint storage? I’d swap the rolling work bench and the bike rack or divide the shed into work side with tools, workbench, paint and timber and separate storage side for household items, camping gear, bikes and garden tools.
@@jennifercampbell7698Yes, that’d be great. A clear division between shop and household / toy side. Otherwise frustration and mess might take over again.
@@jennifercampbell7698 The question is if they’re planning for an indoor workshop or not.🤷♂️ I’d take every chance to work outside, as long as I don’t annoy my neighbors too much. Their garden or backyard seemed nice, big, and with lots of shade under the trees.
I clean and reorganize my garage twice a year when I have my spring and fall garage sales.( then I put both cars back inside) I tell everyone that it’s my “happy place”!😁 I wish I could clean and organize other people’s garages!👌
🛠 You two make me smile every time I watch. I like how you keep it light and fun. I also need to organize my husband's garage. I've done it before. Such a job but he's not organized at all LOL. I hope we can have just as much fun.
Hahaha the red tshirt/coat man I’m obsessed with this channel my brother passed away this past march first and this channel has kept me so occupied and no time to cry this means the absolute world to me thank you for such amazing content and creativity best channel everrrrrrrr
I have been watching garage organizing and cleaning videos literally for the past two days on a marathon since I am stuck to being indoors at the moment for many reasons, but of the videos I have watched, your video has been the most entertaining and hilarious to watch. It kept me laughing. Loved loved loved the authenticity and honesty of keeping a garage clean especially when you are a DIYer like I am and most of my family members are. Thank you. Truly enjoyed watching the video.
I absolutely love cleaning and organization videos! This is was great! The possum, time lapse, and free.99 were all golden! Sorry but screaming at the snake, mice, and possum gets the prize each time🏆! Thanks for sharing.
That “one year later” was like is this for real? 🧐😳🤔and it was for real 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂Gosh I wish my husband was on board with getting our garage organized and cleaned out! Pray for me🙏🏼! I’m super inspired by your video thanks for the transparency 🥰
Darn, you could saddle and ride that big ‘ole opossum - Priceless movie scream from DIYWIFE (sympathy sounds from my co-workers, y’all)! Laughing myself silly and loving the honesty in your efforts, no matter that long span between… Every homeowner needs to watch this video of your reclamation of your garage workspace. Bet a lot of people can relate! 😊
I love that you don't sweat. There are a lot of words you could have used at the beginning when you talked about how much stuff you have. I love that you keep things uplifting.
I’m proud of you guys, I’ve been waiting on this video, since your first beginning, because it was a great garage,and you never set it up as a workshop, it’s an awesome space, so proud of you both, now you just hav to do the ceiling, can’t wait.😄🕊️🙏👍
So inspired to tackle some of my own purging and organizing! And dang!!! That possum looked like it could take you both on and come out a winner if it wanted!
Oh man! Been there! Done that! Watching you guys try to manage a home, job and family reminds me of my husband and I when we were younger. The garage was always the bane of my existence!
Probably one of my most relatable videos! The garage clean out, "year 2". We remodeled a a hoarder house and brought a bunch of stuff home (mistake) to save in our garage. At the end, we too found an animal had moved in for the summer. A SKUNK! He was dining on dog food and sleeping in a box full of polar fleece material. He was very sad to move out also. Good job! It's endless. See you in 2024!
I'm excited to see you tackle this project. It's long over due considering ALL the renovations, builds, remodels, etc. that you all do. This garage is better utilized as a work shop and place to store materials and equipment. It's a good sized garage. Now I'll watch the video! Looks good! Garages are so difficult, so many varied items and hard to store stuff. It must feel so good to have accomplished this!
What an ADVENTURE! You caught me intrigued, laughing, screaming, laughing, wanting to help, but seeing you doing a fantastic job(s) of cleaning your garage!! I almost missed it as I thought it was someone else's channel. Surely DIY Wife wouldn't allow that mess to happen, and happen again??!! Two posts on a single day; what a treat for me!
The possum! My dog was on our patio one evening and something got her attention, so I walked around and behind a chair was a possum. I screamed as loud as Andrea! 🤣 I also used a broom to prod it out of my backyard!
I have subscribed to so many channels over the winter that I just had to check on my oldie but goodie couple. I hope you all had a great winter and look forward to watching as you two continue to press on and entertain. I have cleaned my shed and garage so many times only to look at it and wonder what happened to get it all cluttered again.Looks like you made a lot of people happy and your free shop on the curb.
I'm pretty sure my two car garage looks pretty similar to yours at the start. I, too, have been redoing furniture and building small wood pieces for years, so... yeah, it gets cluttered. Add in stuff shoved in every time we have a hurricane watch that doesn't all make it back out afterwards. It's on my list to clear it out and get it organized after I finish the bedroom remodel and before that lovely humid, coastal Georgia heat sets in. Lol Great job!
😆😆😆😆😆😆 that screaming was hilarious Andrea !!let me tell you I did the same thing one time when a big 🐀 comes out in my basement , guys you make me laugh so much I love it watching your videos all the time !!
I’ve been binge watching your videos the past few days and I keep looking at the garage thinking “ah yes… that’s a worker’s garage” 😂 and now you’re cleaning it lol
Great job guys keeping things organized is an ongoing battle. I’ve been there myself many times. I can guarantee you’ll be out there again one day facing the same thing again but that’s life❣️. Thanks for sharing it’s always a blast watching you guys, always look forward to your videos!💗
Head donk wins 😂 it may have been embarrassing for you Andrea, but thoroughly entertaining and loved how realistic it was (1 year later)- life happens! And y’all have accomplished so much in the past year, something was bound to get neglected. Glad it was just the garage! 🙃
Well, thank you for posting that video... I laughed the hardest on it... Loved every bit of it, and it was soooooo satisfying, too. Where even, do you come up with so many ideas to make the videos so much fun... God bless your souls, Dean and Andrea! ❤️❤️
Be sure to leave your worktable empty at the end of every workday. I've made the mistake of using my worktable to store things on the top, then things get outta control again. Thanks for sharing! I loved the opossum!
The way that you guys, I don't know, play off of each other is so entertaining. I laugh all the way through each episode. Thank you for all that you do to put a smile on our faces and hopefully learn something.
I watch a lot of TH-cam channels similar to yours, and I have to say you guys are my favorite. I love your dynamic, editing, and overall feel of your videos. Keep up the great work!!
This video is now my all time favorite video of DIY Wife maybe ever!! Because it took my anxiety away of my garage. I feel I'm constantly cleaning it yet it's always the last place I want to touch .. it's just always exhausting when we do get to the garage...
People would say I'm sad for watching someone clear out there garage and then organise it. Love it, very relaxing. Makes me want to go and clean out my sheds lol😅 PS your garage is as big as my bungalow, well almost 😅 I also love the possum one best, Watching dean's head hit that wood is horrendous, makes me feel eeek
I'm still smiling - loved the whole video. Andrea is so cool - most of the time - and seeing her 'loose her cool' was great. We've all been there, but not on video. Thanks, Andrea for your Oscar worthy performance. Sorry, Dean, you are great, too - but Andrea is the star - you are the outstanding supporting actor. But what a team!!
My son and I just cleaned our garage two weeks ago. It was almost as bad. No possums though. Schedule a garage refresh once a month and any extra time you don’t need to clean you get to spend doing something fun. Take at least a three day break after each project for something rejuvenating. You are in this for the marathon. Treat your employees well and they will stay forever. Hire a few things done that drain you as a gift to each other. Thank you for sharing the fun.
You two are so awesome to watch! So real and fun, your giftings are very evident and inspiring. Who hasn’t reorganize their garage…many times over? Everyone! Thanks for this, love you! Oh and I vote the opossum…oooo, gag, I would have been creeped out too.
I enjoyed this almost as much as the workbench vid!! And I want to validate you both (of course you don’t need it) with the feelings of disorganization, but on that note… I am an artist. Ish (a very subjective claim). I am very creative though. And very much a right-brainer. Crickets and cobwebs on the left side. Having said that, when it comes to my paint brushes etc I am usually very organized, except when I’m in the zone. But every so often I have to do like y’all and just take a deep breath and get it done-deep clean and organize my art supplies. Maybe watching your vid will help me get to that place again finally!!! LOVE y’all, your vids, your creativity, your humor!! My vote-Andrea screaming for sure!!!
Looks great! I feel like you could put your ladders on the other wall in between the two white cabinets then you could hang the bikes on the wall. Then you could push the other tables over to have room for your van or an indoor work area.
Hello guys, great video, so are you turning your garage into a woodshop ? hmm... because garages are for minivans 😒 I vote to turn it into a wood shop, so you need more open room hang the bikes in the air and get more cabinets installed around the perimeter of the garage. Epoxy the floor, adding more lights. Andrea, there is your own wood shop / video stage...hahaha, great filming and editing, Dean. Take care, thanks 😊
I just saw your video tonight! Y’all are so cute and entertaining, so I’ve subscribed for sure! I’m blown away in all of the videos I watch, so few put their cars in their garages! Maybe it’s just a MS thing that cars go in garages. 😂😂😂. I’m so glad I found y’all!!!
Omg awesome video! Love the laughter and antics! The possum was the highlight! I came out of my house one day thru my partially enclosed breeze way to find a possum! Ewwwww! Ugly thing! So I used a rake to get it to leave and it went along the back side of thd garage. I kept following it to get it off my property and managed to hit my head on the ac hanging out the back wall of the garage since it was so close to the garage. Geez what an adventure! Found a skunk out in the same spot but didn’t bother it. It found its way out without spraying my breeze way. Needless to say the breeze way got enclosed fully after that!!! 🤣🤣🤣
thank you for showing how fast it all gets jumbled again... been working on an estate project for the past few years and I'm still not done getting rid of stuff and organizing.
This may sound strange, but I'm so glad to see your mess! Mine is humiliating, so it's comforting to see such an organized and motivated person has something even worse! Mine's the basement/cellar though, decided to tackle it today so this is great timing. I need the HVAC people in and can't bear to have them see it this way.
Thank you so much for this video!! We cleaned out our garage last year planning on making it cool and organized…😂 and now we‘re back on square one too.. so I’m encouraged to do it now 😊❤
Loved this video it was absolutely brilliant! I burst out laughing more than once- possum escape well oh my gosh, didn’t think you voice could go that high miss!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
This video was so funny, I am literally crying 😂. You two are hilarious. You’re both as crazy as each other so I can’t make up my mind who to vote for.😂
I’ve never been more entertained watching someone clean out their garage then now! You two are very entertaining to watch no matter what you are doing. 🤚🏻🤚🏻
That guy is so intensely annoying!!! Such a shame because I really like seeing what she does. Attention seeking child.

This video was edited so well. I literally laughed out loud several times. Can’t wait to see how it all ends!
Same here 😁
it was the shelf help for me 😂😂😂
i’m always in awe of Andrea’s skills. i always laugh out loud with any of Dean’s useful antics🤣
Dean's head knock, will hold 1st PLACE STATUS forever in the land of DIY videos.🏆🏅🥇

Actually opossums are very sweet, they get a bad rap so glad it was able to leave on its own. Good job guy’s 🙌🏼 😊
They are great to be around because they eat all kinds of snakes!
But, you need to figure out how he got in and block that hole... Or he's just going to get back in again 🤣

I had the same thought about leaving Dean in the rafters as she carefully removed the ladder! 🙄🤭
Dean falling down was the most entertaining! 🤣🤣
Don’t feel bad about your garage. Mine looks like that a lot from all of the projects that I do and we have to walk though it to get inside 😬😬
I can’t begin to imagine how much time it took to edit this video. Great job Dean. SO entertaining
So relatable! Don’t feel embarrassed at all! Thanks for documenting it for us and helping us learn along with your journey.
Hahaha I laughed out loud with the “spot the red jacket” compilation and the “Easter egg”. I’m sure it was just as fun making it as it was watching it! Plus I’m curious if you tell Andrea the funny things you film before she watches the edited episode? Because I would’ve laughed and loved how Dean not ONLY emptied the garage while she was gone and talking with her sister, but also made an epically funny bit while dominating it! Dean you are one the main reasons why people watch this channel!
Love you both!!!!!! Happy future projects now that your home base of supplies and tools is clean and tidy🙌🏻💪🏻!!!
I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. I’d been procrastinating over organising my storage unit thinking that it’s an unmanageable mess. But now that I’ve seen your video I realise that I was wrong. My storage unit is just fine and I can deal with it. A million thanks!!!
I have a three car garage that can only fit one car. I found your vid to give me some motivation. I'm only 7:54 into it and am going to tackle my own garage clean out for a couple of hours before work and return afterwards. Mentioning the time is REALLY helpful to combat the "I don't have enough time to make any progress"...you've proved a lot can be done in just an hour. Thank YOU!!
😂I needed to see this. Dean’s commercial did it! 100% laughter. I love the channel but this is my favorite video! Thank you both for sharing great content. I love watching it because I learn and laugh the entire time. I think you guys are awesome!
OMG, this video came up in my suggestions and I'm so glad I watched. The way she barely tolerates all of his nonsense (ninja moves, pogo stick, posing) is hysterical. So relatable to anyone who's ever done a project like this with their partner/spouse. SUBSCRIBED.
I'd recommend to fix and seal the concrete floor, it would stop the dust and be a substantial improovement.
Together with cabinets along one of the walls and a nice worktop on top of those, that garage can turn into something really nice.
That garage bulding with the high roof and rafters has potential.
It was really fun and entertaining to watch.
Andrea standing on that piece of furniture and screaming in panic was hillarious.
Yes I agree paint and seal the floor.
And why put the bike rack in the way of the timber and paint storage? I’d swap the rolling work bench and the bike rack or divide the shed into work side with tools, workbench, paint and timber and separate storage side for household items, camping gear, bikes and garden tools.
@@jennifercampbell7698Yes, that’d be great. A clear division between shop and household / toy side.
Otherwise frustration and mess might take over again.
@@m.rei85 Yes, I’d also put in some roof skylights so the workshop area could be used during the day. I worry about them working outside in the heat.
@@jennifercampbell7698 The question is if they’re planning for an indoor workshop or not.🤷♂️
I’d take every chance to work outside, as long as I don’t annoy my neighbors too much.
Their garden or backyard seemed nice, big, and with lots of shade under the trees.
Clearing out the garage is my love language!
I clean and reorganize my garage twice a year when I have my spring and fall garage sales.( then I put both cars back inside) I tell everyone that it’s my “happy place”!😁 I wish I could clean and organize other people’s garages!👌
Same here! Love our garage! My favorite place! 😅
@@lauramitchell6725 come on over!
Your neighbours must be thoroughly entertained😆🤣..I'm sure you two could make watching paint dry fun! Lol
🛠 You two make me smile every time I watch. I like how you keep it light and fun. I also need to organize my husband's garage. I've done it before. Such a job but he's not organized at all LOL. I hope we can have just as much fun.
Hahaha the red tshirt/coat man I’m obsessed with this channel my brother passed away this past march first and this channel has kept me so occupied and no time to cry this means the absolute world to me thank you for such amazing content and creativity best channel everrrrrrrr
The head clunk was way funnier for me!! You two are a riot and quite a lot of fun to watch! ❤️
I have been watching garage organizing and cleaning videos literally for the past two days on a marathon since I am stuck to being indoors at the moment for many reasons, but of the videos I have watched, your video has been the most entertaining and hilarious to watch. It kept me laughing. Loved loved loved the authenticity and honesty of keeping a garage clean especially when you are a DIYer like I am and most of my family members are. Thank you. Truly enjoyed watching the video.
Dean: Where we going now?
Andrea: Antiquing! and I want coffee!!
Dean: So demanding
😂😂😂 you guys are so funny I watched this part about 20 times 😂
I absolutely love cleaning and organization videos! This is was great!
The possum, time lapse, and free.99 were all golden! Sorry but screaming at the snake, mice, and possum gets the prize each time🏆! Thanks for sharing.
That “one year later” was like is this for real? 🧐😳🤔and it was for real 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂Gosh I wish my husband was on board with getting our garage organized and cleaned out! Pray for me🙏🏼! I’m super inspired by your video thanks for the transparency 🥰
How relatable is it when the garage shot said “one year later”? 😂 I wanted to cry and laugh simultaneously.
Darn, you could saddle and ride that big ‘ole opossum - Priceless movie scream from DIYWIFE (sympathy sounds from my co-workers, y’all)! Laughing myself silly and loving the honesty in your efforts, no matter that long span between… Every homeowner needs to watch this video of your reclamation of your garage workspace. Bet a lot of people can relate! 😊
I love that you don't sweat. There are a lot of words you could have used at the beginning when you talked about how much stuff you have. I love that you keep things uplifting.
I meant "swear", not "sweat". Lol!
I’m proud of you guys, I’ve been waiting on this video, since your first beginning, because it was a great garage,and you never set it up as a workshop, it’s an awesome space, so proud of you both, now you just hav to do the ceiling, can’t wait.😄🕊️🙏👍
So inspired to tackle some of my own purging and organizing! And dang!!! That possum looked like it could take you both on and come out a winner if it wanted!
Oh man! Been there! Done that! Watching you guys try to manage a home, job and family reminds me of my husband and I when we were younger. The garage was always the bane of my existence!
Probably one of my most relatable videos! The garage clean out, "year 2". We remodeled a a hoarder house and brought a bunch of stuff home (mistake) to save in our garage. At the end, we too found an animal had moved in for the summer. A SKUNK! He was dining on dog food and sleeping in a box full of polar fleece material. He was very sad to move out also. Good job! It's endless. See you in 2024!
I'm excited to see you tackle this project. It's long over due considering ALL the renovations, builds, remodels, etc. that you all do. This garage is better utilized as a work shop and place to store materials and equipment. It's a good sized garage. Now I'll watch the video!
Looks good! Garages are so difficult, so many varied items and hard to store stuff. It must feel so good to have accomplished this!
By far the best video I’ve seen!!! Dean and Andrea you two have an amazing team work ❤ thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your videos:)
What an ADVENTURE! You caught me intrigued, laughing, screaming, laughing, wanting to help, but seeing you doing a fantastic job(s) of cleaning your garage!! I almost missed it as I thought it was someone else's channel. Surely DIY Wife wouldn't allow that mess to happen, and happen again??!! Two posts on a single day; what a treat for me!
The possum! My dog was on our patio one evening and something got her attention, so I walked around and behind a chair was a possum. I screamed as loud as Andrea! 🤣 I also used a broom to prod it out of my backyard!
I have subscribed to so many channels over the winter that I just had to check on my oldie but goodie couple. I hope you all had a great winter and look forward to watching as you two continue to press on and entertain. I have cleaned my shed and garage so many times only to look at it and wonder what happened to get it all cluttered again.Looks like you made a lot of people happy and your free shop on the curb.
Dean on the pogo stick while Andrea is trying to build the bike rack and just saying good job babe got me 😂😂
I'm pretty sure my two car garage looks pretty similar to yours at the start. I, too, have been redoing furniture and building small wood pieces for years, so... yeah, it gets cluttered. Add in stuff shoved in every time we have a hurricane watch that doesn't all make it back out afterwards. It's on my list to clear it out and get it organized after I finish the bedroom remodel and before that lovely humid, coastal Georgia heat sets in. Lol Great job!
😆😆😆😆😆😆 that screaming was hilarious Andrea !!let me tell you I did the same thing one time when a big 🐀 comes out in my basement , guys you make me laugh so much I love it watching your videos all the time !!
I’ve been binge watching your videos the past few days and I keep looking at the garage thinking “ah yes… that’s a worker’s garage” 😂 and now you’re cleaning it lol
Great job! So happy you shared your struggle! I hope you are proud of yourselves!
Great job guys keeping things organized is an ongoing battle. I’ve been there myself many times. I can guarantee you’ll be out there again one day facing the same thing again but that’s life❣️. Thanks for sharing it’s always a blast watching you guys, always look forward to your videos!💗
Head donk wins 😂 it may have been embarrassing for you Andrea, but thoroughly entertaining and loved how realistic it was (1 year later)- life happens! And y’all have accomplished so much in the past year, something was bound to get neglected. Glad it was just the garage! 🙃
Well, thank you for posting that video... I laughed the hardest on it... Loved every bit of it, and it was soooooo satisfying, too. Where even, do you come up with so many ideas to make the videos so much fun... God bless your souls, Dean and Andrea! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! I laugh out loud again and again. My favorite is Andrea screaming at the possum🤣😅🤣
Be sure to leave your worktable empty at the end of every workday. I've made the mistake of using my worktable to store things on the top, then things get outta control again. Thanks for sharing! I loved the opossum!
The way that you guys, I don't know, play off of each other is so entertaining. I laugh all the way through each episode. Thank you for all that you do to put a smile on our faces and hopefully learn something.
Thanks for being vulnerable with us and showing us your garage transformation. Cool!
I watch a lot of TH-cam channels similar to yours, and I have to say you guys are my favorite. I love your dynamic, editing, and overall feel of your videos. Keep up the great work!!
This video is now my all time favorite video of DIY Wife maybe ever!! Because it took my anxiety away of my garage. I feel I'm constantly cleaning it yet it's always the last place I want to touch .. it's just always exhausting when we do get to the garage...
omg that gorgeous antique dresser on wheels in the 2nd part of the video 😭😭😭 I would kill for that one lol
Me too! I was wishing I lived closer to take it off their hands 🤣
People would say I'm sad for watching someone clear out there garage and then organise it.
Love it, very relaxing.
Makes me want to go and clean out my sheds lol😅
PS your garage is as big as my bungalow, well almost 😅
I also love the possum one best,
Watching dean's head hit that wood is horrendous, makes me feel eeek
I'm still smiling - loved the whole video. Andrea is so cool - most of the time - and seeing her 'loose her cool' was great. We've all been there, but not on video. Thanks, Andrea for your Oscar worthy performance. Sorry, Dean, you are great, too - but Andrea is the star - you are the outstanding supporting actor. But what a team!!
I love the honesty that it had been a year!
My son and I just cleaned our garage two weeks ago. It was almost as bad. No possums though. Schedule a garage refresh once a month and any extra time you don’t need to clean you get to spend doing something fun. Take at least a three day break after each project for something rejuvenating. You are in this for the marathon. Treat your employees well and they will stay forever. Hire a few things done that drain you as a gift to each other. Thank you for sharing the fun.
You two are so awesome to watch! So real and fun, your giftings are very evident and inspiring. Who hasn’t reorganize their garage…many times over? Everyone! Thanks for this, love you!
Oh and I vote the opossum…oooo, gag, I would have been creeped out too.
I enjoyed this almost as much as the workbench vid!! And I want to validate you both (of course you don’t need it) with the feelings of disorganization, but on that note…
I am an artist. Ish (a very subjective claim). I am very creative though. And very much a right-brainer. Crickets and cobwebs on the left side. Having said that, when it comes to my paint brushes etc I am usually very organized, except when I’m in the zone. But every so often I have to do like y’all and just take a deep breath and get it done-deep clean and organize my art supplies. Maybe watching your vid will help me get to that place again finally!!!
LOVE y’all, your vids, your creativity, your humor!!
My vote-Andrea screaming for sure!!!
the head bump for sure!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I definitely want a 2024 garage update! 😂 And I call a solid tie between the head bonk and the possum scream! 😂😂
Looks great! I feel like you could put your ladders on the other wall in between the two white cabinets then you could hang the bikes on the wall. Then you could push the other tables over to have room for your van or an indoor work area.
to answer the final question from my point of view: Definitly the head-bonk. Sound is so so good.
Every organised house has to have a messy place hidden, I learned it from Friends (Monica’s secret closet 😂) and also my garage 🤦🏻♀️
Hello guys, great video, so are you turning your garage into a woodshop ? hmm... because garages are for minivans 😒 I vote to turn it into a wood shop, so you need more open room hang the bikes in the air and get more cabinets installed around the perimeter of the garage. Epoxy the floor, adding more lights. Andrea, there is your own wood shop / video stage...hahaha, great filming and editing, Dean. Take care, thanks 😊
I just saw your video tonight! Y’all are so cute and entertaining, so I’ve subscribed for sure! I’m blown away in all of the videos I watch, so few put their cars in their garages! Maybe it’s just a MS thing that cars go in garages. 😂😂😂. I’m so glad I found y’all!!!
Omg awesome video! Love the laughter and antics! The possum was the highlight! I came out of my house one day thru my partially enclosed breeze way to find a possum! Ewwwww! Ugly thing! So I used a rake to get it to leave and it went along the back side of thd garage. I kept following it to get it off my property and managed to hit my head on the ac hanging out the back wall of the garage since it was so close to the garage. Geez what an adventure! Found a skunk out in the same spot but didn’t bother it. It found its way out without spraying my breeze way. Needless to say the breeze way got enclosed fully after that!!! 🤣🤣🤣
thank you for showing how fast it all gets jumbled again... been working on an estate project for the past few years and I'm still not done getting rid of stuff and organizing.
Funny watching both of you interact with each other. You really need to make that garage into a fully functional workshop!
Don't worry about what it looked like. That's real life. You are a great family ,busy doing great things.
You guys are a Texas size hoot!!! HGTV is calling for sure!!! Love 💕 watching and laughing 😂
You two are adorable. I loved the video and it actually gave me incentive to start my own long postponed and much needed garage cleaning.
This may sound strange, but I'm so glad to see your mess! Mine is humiliating, so it's comforting to see such an organized and motivated person has something even worse! Mine's the basement/cellar though, decided to tackle it today so this is great timing. I need the HVAC people in and can't bear to have them see it this way.
Thank you so much for this video!! We cleaned out our garage last year planning on making it cool and organized…😂 and now we‘re back on square one too.. so I’m encouraged to do it now 😊❤
Loved this video it was absolutely brilliant! I burst out laughing more than once- possum escape well oh my gosh, didn’t think you voice could go that high miss!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
This video was so funny, I am literally crying 😂. You two are hilarious. You’re both as crazy as each other so I can’t make up my mind who to vote for.😂
We've all been there. (Some of is still there).
Always changing and improving. Your young, life forever changes, kids grow.
This was like watching a movie' I laughed, I screamed at the possum with Andrea and I was so proud that it finally got done!
Still Dean's head knock!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 but you guys making it so much fun!!!! ❤❤❤ every minute of it!!!!
