As the finishing work continues we make the upstairs less... well.. freaky and have the railings installed! Watch as it becomes a house one video at a time!
I love that Abigail isn't trying to grow up too fast, that she still gets excited about building a fort in her closet. She will create great memories with that room.
A suggestion…paint the inside of all your closets white…if you ever decide to change a room colour you don’t have to worry about the closet and it also makes it much brighter!
They used to paint closets blue. It prevents those tiny yellow/brown dots you find on clothing that was hung up clean at the end of the last season and prevents yellowing of whites. I don’t know why it works, but it does. I think the yellowing and tiny dots mostly happen with cotton or cotton-rich whites and very light colors.
After painting closets to match rooms several times, I painted the inside of all my closets white. It has been a game changer! They are brighter and feel so clean.
I used to love to build a fort in my closet and sit in it for hours when I was Abigail's age. It felt like I was in a different place even though I didn't have my own room, just a place where no one would bother me. She will love her closet as she gets older as well.
@@joycelowden7623 did that and my kids used to take the couch cushions an upend them next to the couch and cover with the afghan and blankets that were over the back of the couch originally! fun memories
You are a perfectionist, and that's a great way to be! And you expect perfection, and appreciate it from the builders. That has brought you great success at a young age. You and your family deserve this amazing home. How exciting for all of you!
I look at that nook between where the basement stairs come out and the stairs to the second floor go up and think: What a GREAT place for a sculpture! I also look at the stairs, from 1963 until 1973 I grew up in a house with a triangle steps around a bend like you have. For all but the last few months we lived there, we had a small-ish dog who almost always slept on the lower triangle step. Princess, the dog, really couldn't jump easily on furniture, and the room the stairs came down into was our family room. This was where she slept to be part of the family. Most of the years we lived there, we had a formal living room and also a TV room. It was only the last few months we lived in the house, while we were selling off furniture and stuff that the formal living room was actually lived in, we still had the family room. When we built the house, we were one of the first to install cable in the build. For a while we even had two, TWO TVs! When my dad died in 1984 the folks still only had 1. Even my mother never had a TV in her bedroom. I have one currently in my bedroom, unplugged and I'll be moving into another room with a TV. I might be unplugging that one too. I'm such an old fashioned gal I guess.
I think your stairway railing and stairs would look stunning with just a beautiful stain. That wood and craftsmanship is extraordinary! If painted, it might hide some of the natural wood's amazing features.
Abigail seems like a very cool and sensible person. She has a nice big bedroom so she can store her clothes in there and have her Fort as she wants it in the meantime. She can always change her mind about that later, but in the meantime, I am Team Fort.
as a teenager, my Mom finally allowed me to paint curved and swirly rainbows in my closet and on the inside of the door, with mirror tiles on the inside of the door too! still love thinking about it 50+ years later! unused space where the roof meets the walls, sometimes a good sized crawlspace can have boards laid on it , and makes a great hidey-hole-fort too, a la Narnia stories! ( The Magician's Nephew!)
I think some guys are just Dads their entire lives, and when they actually have kids, they just find themselves. I'm really happy for all the good things coming into your lives!
I've been watching your channel for almost a year now. I enjoy all your adventures but watching your enthusiasm and enjoyment of your new house is on a whole new level! The pride you have being able to do this for your family is so heart-warming! Thanks for letting us tag along on your happy journey!! Can't wait to see the inside complete!
Getting close! Before we know it you will be in the house and we will be watching Melissa planting the whole yard and garden. This has been a lot of fun watching this building process. Lot's of work!
You need to keep a sample of everything. Tile, carpet. Baseboards, stone on fireplace paint samples just everything. You’ll use it over the years for decorating and even matching for repairs.
When I was Abigail's age i use to love to built a fort in my closet and sit in there for hours. It felt like I was in a different place even having your own room just a place no one would bother you. She will love her closet as she gets older too. the house is coming out so nice. So happy for your family!!
Alex and Melissa, the house is progressing, you will be in it before you know it. I can't wait to see it after the move in. I know you guys will do an excellent job decorating your new home. Good wishes and blessings sent your way.
It is so exciting to see all of the progress! Beautiful home for sure! Love the staircase and railings! I can't wait to see the things you do in your garage!!
Watching the video, there is a beautiful view from every room! Wow!! It’s becoming a home. I am so happy for all of you!! You two have worked so hard to have this. I love it!!!!
What a beautifully designed house. Everything is going so quickly now. Looks like your new home will be ready for landscaping just in time for spring. Hard to believe that in just a couple of months you guys will be getting cozy in your brand new home. Melissa will be decorating her kitchen and family rooms and you will be filling up that new garage and wondering if you should have made it just a bit bigger. Lol
It's beautiful but in a few years you may not like all them stairs...As you get older it's not as much fun going up and down all day long...But it's still beautiful...God bless.
I was thinking it might have been nice to have a bedroom on the first floor and a full bath with walk in shower just in case one of your mothers comes to live with you in their later years. Or even if you break a leg or have surgery then it would be easier to recuperate than going up all those stairs every night. But those are things I wouldn't have thought of either when I was your age. It is gorgeous and I'm sure you'll cross that bridge when you come to it. Can't wait to see it when you are all moved in!
Thank you for sharing this progress up date . The house is looking fantastic and it won’t be long before it’s move in time! I think Abigail is correct, building a fort in her closet is a wonderful idea. I did the same thing when I was a kid. Now, I’m almost all grown up, I’m 70, and enjoying my Cabin I got for storage last year. I can’t wait to get the Cabin fixed up as my play house 😁. I’m so excited for your family, you all will be so happy in your new home. Have a wonderful weekend. From my mountain top in middle Tennessee, Fran
I have ocd and that angled railing would be a constant source of irritation! I know it's a small issue, but I've never seen stair railing done that way. I think your home is a quality build in every other way. So happy for you guys!
Totally agree. Never seen it done that way. Normally, that top post is extended taller, allowing for the new height to start there if code requires the height to meet that triangle stair. Otherwise, continue the same height and then don't do a handrail for the first portion of the turn on the wall. I've loved everything about the house, but that's one thing I'd question.
@@randoline13 they installed it like the rail was on a wall and you can make it follow the line of the staircase. But, when the rail stands alone it should be level. And, it's right by the front door- very noticeable : (
This series has helped me a lot. My parents are going to move house soon ( my dad is renovating the house they are moving to, like, full on stripping everything and only leaving the outside walls, he even added a second floor! all by himself, no contractors). But watching this series has mentally helped me in a way. I don't know how, but new beginnings make me feel happy. And I am so glad to see a good family get a nice and warm house and them building a life there.
I'm with Abigail. Forts are great fun. I build forts with my grandsons when I visit. Then I become the zombie chasing them for their brains! They squeal and hide in the fort. It's that or hockey and they kick this old Gramma's butt all the time when we do that. I always have to be the goalie. haha! Your home is going to be gorgeous, Alex. And believe me, getting out of the city is the best! I did 25 years ago.
We use to do all sorts of fun things in our kids rooms! One of the best ones was a campsite which included; a tent, mini picnic table, air mattresses/sleeping bags fake Pitt! It was great fun for the family!
The progress is fantastic - I’m so excited for you all! What really caught my eye is those gorgeous brackets for the handrail up from the basement! I love doled timber!
Having watched over the past couple of years how hard you work, harder than anyone I’ve met, I have a warm sense of You Have Earned This Beautiful House and deserve every bit of it. I also love that you’re foreseeing your kids’ lives unfolding in it. Nice to see a dad showing the 💕. We don’t get to see that a lot on media. Yay!
I love pocket doors, they are great space savers. Walk in pantries are just wonderful, right up there with mud rooms. Railings look solid. House is really moving in the right direction.
OMG drupad is standing there and a T-shirt and a light jacket look at all the snow on the ground I would have on a snowsuit 😂 of course I'm from Florida and I get cold easy
Hire a really tall person with a good ladder that has clean, padded feet, to vacuum the ceilings and walls and floors and shelves while you pack up to move in. It's amazing how dusty new construction can be.
The house is looking more beautiful each time you come back to it! I’m happy to see the railings are on! I’m like Melissa, it’s scary high up and no railings as well! Looking forward to the next phase. Thanks for the tour! 🤗❣️👍🌸🏠
Am so very excited! You need to keep your cabinet boxes for Abigail to build forts with. That's what we played with when we were little. So fun. Then we would sleep in them on the front porch. In Tacoma Washington even. Probably couldn't do that these days. I'm 66 was like 13 then. Can't wait till you get the Volks Wagons in. Oh my dream! You probably won't paint it like a hippy van though. Oh well. At least you have one. I'm right there with the Mrs on that bridge. 😳! I do not like heights either. Love yuns stay safe and warm! ❤️😘💞💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞🌞✌️👶
Hi Alex and Melissa, your home is awesome. I’m happy for you all. Melissa, you will soon get use to the height of the stairs, I also had a fear of the heights in my home 20 years ago.
Oh, the railings look so nice and safer too. Amazing for that size of house how it's come along quicker than I thought and in the cold and snow at that. I'm happy for you and your family!
I wish we would have thought about our closet design more, it makes a huge difference. Carpets on stairs gets worn and dirty quickly too. The house is looking fab!
I'm so excited for you. All your hard hard work is bringing you your dream family home. Thank you for letting us share in the fun and beauty of it. It will be wonderful to see it evolve into a home and a super duper vehicle workshop. ooooooooooooh !!! 😊
I need to do our closets like this!!! We have wire shelves and this looks so much better. Adding that to the list! Hahahaha! The stairs are looking great -- that little area in between the stairs going upstairs and downstairs would be a good spot for a nice plant!
It certainly appears that the finishing is very high quality. Personally, I'd keep all the wood scraps. You can use them for little projects, fireplace, perhaps an outdoor fire pit, or even a shed for garden tools just next to the veggie garden. At least for shelves in the shed. You may want shelves on which to start seedlings for veg, flowers and so on. Since your garage will be all about vehicles, a good sized garden shed may be in order and that will need shelving and hooks to hang tools on. Great call on the fireplace design - it is a stunning centerpiece and focal point. I'm blown away by how much noise those glass doors cut - imagine how much better it will be when the carpet and drapes are in to absorb excess sound! The main bedroom closet is quite nice; you're going to really enjoy being able to put things away so easily. Congratulations. It's fantastic.
Abby's bench end wall should be a bookcase, and add shelves clear to ceiling in ur closet, still now enough shelves there and ur closet is still too small. NICE PROGRESS THOUGH!
I am not seeing any electrical outlets going up the stairway. It's nice to have them for decorating purposes, as well as on that half wall to the right of the stairway on the main floor. You probably have already planned things out, but that seems like the perfect place for a shallow table with a lamp. Everything is looking so wonderful!
@@davidplayz7323 Cords cause trip hazards, not outlets, and that can happen no matter where outlets are placed. On stairways with multiple 'landings' like this one, it is common to have outlets if for no other reason to have plug-in nightlights on the stairs. In actual practice, the further away the outlet, the greater the chance of tripping because of the length of cord to reach it.
Hey Alexander! Now might be a good time to have some camera mount brackets or small shelves installed for future camera angles. You can always put oil cans on them too.
@@nyclady27 i was thinking the garage. Having a master shot from a security camera vantage point always makes editing easier. I’m envisioning Alexander starting to use additional cameras as his channel gets bigger.
It’s really coming along quickly. It seemed only yesterday it was just being talked about. I cannot wait to see it complete. Hopefully my shed will be done just as fast 🤗
I love that Abigail isn't trying to grow up too fast, that she still gets excited about building a fort in her closet. She will create great memories with that room.
Great comment! She will grow up soon enough, and then there will be no turning back.
I'd loved to build a bed fort, but have no one to battle with. Lol
@@neilperry2224 Make a fort, and turn it into a reading nook. You can have popcorn while you read about great battles of history past.
They’re such a wholesome family, just enjoying where they are in life to the fullest extent. Many of us could learn a lot from their example.
I was thinking the same thing!! But she’s growing up so fast… she’s going to love (& fill) that closet very soon!!
A suggestion…paint the inside of all your closets white…if you ever decide to change a room colour you don’t have to worry about the closet and it also makes it much brighter!

when they clean up the scrap lumber, if you don't want it, maybe Joshua would like to be gifted it. that stair case is going to be a show stopper.
I thought of him with the scraps from the stair railings!
Oh man do I love the shelves everywhere.
I used to love to build a fort in my closet and sit in it for hours when I was Abigail's age. It felt like I was in a different place even though I didn't have my own room, just a place where no one would bother me. She will love her closet as she gets older as well.
We always used the dining table & chairs for our fort. I love Abigail’s idea..
Omg me too. Glad to know that there are more people who think this way
@@joycelowden7623 did that and my kids used to take the couch cushions an upend them next to the couch and cover with the afghan and blankets that were over the back of the couch originally! fun memories
Very cool

Those stairs really make your new house a STEP UP, looks TOP NOTCH. The whole JOINT looks fantastic!
I think it is safe to say that Drupad will not have any problem getting clients after this series! Great to see solid work and a great communicator.

Agreed. You only get one chance to be a kid so she should enjoy it to the fullest before adulthood robs her of the time for such things

Curiosity Ink Your home will be beautiful when it is finished. God bless
I can hardly wait to see Chewie explore all the room in his new home 🏡!! Wondering if he'll go nuts w/all the space 🤔!
From a dream to reality. Alex, you are the perfect example of "If you believe, anything is possible!" Congratulations!
Have fun living your dream!!
To be honest, I feel like it's more that what comes around, goes around. Alex has helped so many people that he's being blessed back.

You just brought back a memory of a closet that I set up with blankets, books and a few teddy bears. I loved it.

Happy For you and Melissa! What a beautiful home.
Someday, I will incorporate my great grandparents' stair rails into my own home. It's easily 130 years old now.
Drupad's doing an excellent job project management. I think he should read the book: Herding Cats

I love pocket doors, they are great space savers. Walk in pantries are just wonderful, right up there with mud rooms. Railings look solid. House is really moving in the right direction.
Your house is absolutely beautiful and outside and I am glad to see the inside is coming together for you guys.
I love what they have done with the closets. I feel like another couple of months you guys will be planting and working on your van!

Hire a really tall person with a good ladder that has clean, padded feet, to vacuum the ceilings and walls and floors and shelves while you pack up to move in. It's amazing how dusty new construction can be.
Your right the railing at an angle looks strange. However, your house is delightfully beautiful!
That caught my eye too, and I am not sure I could live with it.
@@danielulz1640 I definitely could not, there's no reason for that...should have been level.

Ask Drupad to design and install a long, irrigated flower box along the longer railing that is across from the window.
A perfect forever home for a beautiful family. Plenty of room for your future grandchildren, Alexander and Melissa. God bless you all! ❤

Sweet that Abigail still likes the idea of a fort. Such a big closet with lots of nooks and crannies will be such a great hideaway place.
Save all the wood scraps and let the kids build a fort in the woods. A great project for all 3 to work on together.
House is looking nice.

It's so much work and materials for all the cupboards, trimmings etc. Looks great.
Where is the elevator! Lol Can hardly wait to see the house when it is done! I can just imagine how excited your family must be.
Abby's bench end wall should be a bookcase, and add shelves clear to ceiling in ur closet, still now enough shelves there and ur closet is still too small. NICE PROGRESS THOUGH!
Looking wonderful. What a great contractor you have. Can’t believe the progress. Really look forward to these house updates.
What a beautiful home.👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀🍀
The house is coming along and will be gorgeous and we are getting excited for you and the family!
You should get one of those old on air signs for your office, I think you found one before, that would look awesome! Lookin' good! :) :)
I love that idea! Good one. 👌
I am not seeing any electrical outlets going up the stairway. It's nice to have them for decorating purposes, as well as on that half wall to the right of the stairway on the main floor. You probably have already planned things out, but that seems like the perfect place for a shallow table with a lamp. Everything is looking so wonderful!
You'll need outlets for vacuuming, that's a lot of carpeting. 🤔
You never put electrical outlets on stairways because they will cause a trip hazard, you install an outlet at top and bottom stairs!
@@davidplayz7323 Cords cause trip hazards, not outlets, and that can happen no matter where outlets are placed. On stairways with multiple 'landings' like this one, it is common to have outlets if for no other reason to have plug-in nightlights on the stairs. In actual practice, the further away the outlet, the greater the chance of tripping because of the length of cord to reach it.
The house is coming along beautifully!
Thank you Mom! We wouldn't of had this without you! Car loan and a wonderful son.
It's looking really good Alex. The railings already make things look more complete
Drupad does some mighty fine work.
Looking good! 😊😊
I hope Drewpad gets lots of contracts after this ! He is certainly the best 👍
Hey Alexander!
Now might be a good time to have some camera mount brackets or small shelves installed for future camera angles.
You can always put oil cans on them too.
@Mackey Mintle, in the garage or his man cave/office? :-)
@@nyclady27 i was thinking the garage. Having a master shot from a security camera vantage point always makes editing easier.
I’m envisioning Alexander starting to use additional cameras as his channel gets bigger.
You are so very fortunate, affording such a palace. You've been truly blessed.
Beautiful Home! Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to the next episode. I especially can't wait to see the finished kitchen!
It's looking beautiful now I can just imagine how beautiful it's gonna be painted
WOW!!! The railings made a huge difference in making the house look like a home! Very nice! Well done, those contractors are quite skilled.
It is looking great and not long now until you can move in!
Looks great Alex, have enjoyed the build along with you & your family. Bob from sunny Sydney Australia👍
The house is coming along beautifully. So exciting.
I'm so happy for you. I can hear the emotion in your voice and I get it. You should be so proud of you accomplishments. Well done, my friend.
It’s really coming along quickly. It seemed only yesterday it was just being talked about. I cannot wait to see it complete. Hopefully my shed will be done just as fast 🤗
Very handsome stairs! Love the way the window throws light on the wall above the stairs too.
