- Today we finish up demo, then build, fix, and replace our living room wall. After that is done we move right onto the rest of the front siding. It all has to go before we can put up our new OSB sheathing. This is a big project but we are getting it done!

What do you do for a living besides TH-cam?
@@DannyH77 We have a small business and work from home, but we keep it private on the channel :)
Out in the Country are you living in the house your working on or staying somewhere else?
Out in the Country hope you all take that aluminum sidling to the recycling place you can get some money back for it and any other metal.
Shay Howard they are living in it
I always get so sad when your videos are over😢 now I have to wait for how long till the next one?!?!? You guys should have millions of subscribers if ya ask me. I Love this channel!!
Thank you so much! Not sure when our next video will be, we just go with the flow :)
As a former ICC certified building inspector and a plans reviewer, I think you're doing a fantastic job. You really take care to measure twice and cut once and thereby keep a handle on 'mistakes'. I like your work ethic of keeping everything clean as you work as well. Safety wise, I would advise a better scaffolding system. Taking too many chances there, bud. Keep up the good work!
How about termite shirld?
The chickens are like “Dude, he’s building us a bigger open air coop!”....lol
WOW... You guys your project is really coming along! Looks good! I've gotten to where you guys channel is the first one i check to see if there is a new video of progress!
One of the first ones I watch too.
Loved seeing Doug's Ninja skills when he caught that board with his foot! I would've fell off the dang ladder and clobbered myself with the drill 😂🤣😂.
Michelle Kovach then turns into a whole Final Destination trilogy all over again 😯
You guys are as solid as you’re making your home. I feel like I’ve been following you for yrs now and still get excited when I see you’ve posted a video. I salute you✌️❤️💕
Youre good at carpentry skills when you can catch a falling board with your foot ..good job👏
Your house ,you do what you want ,no need to explain your decisions, nice footwork Doug. You guys are awesome,can’t say it enough
Doug and Ashley by the time you get done remodeling your double-wide, I would feel a lot safer living in yours, than the ones that are being built today.
I’m always grateful for your descriptions & explanations of what you’re doing on your home & why you’re doing it. 2 X 4’s? Ahh, I see! Makes sense to me 😉 Leaving the new wall solid? Well, that makes sense, too! We’re not just watching you guys sweat, we’re watching you both think thru ALL THE THINGS. As I usually do when I comment here: I applaud your reasoning 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love that the chickens popped in for a surprise inspection 🤣🤣🐓🐓
I am so addicted to watching you, Doug and Ashley. Can't wait to see what the house will look like when you're finished. Then you'll have to find other projects because we can't stop watching you guys.
Linda Beard that is so true! I usually watch each video more than once. 😊
My husband and I have a 3 year plan to buy land and build a house in the country. I was leaning toward a modular or Mobile home until I started watching you guys tear into yours. I didnt realize how cheaply they are made. All the extra work you are putting into your Reno will make all the difference in the long run. I learn a lot watching you. Great job guys!!!
The 2 of you, each for the other, redefine "helpmate." How wonderful, in fact dreamy, it is to see you work together and encourage each other. It gives me hope that there is someone out there for me. 😊
As a professional to you, the way you did it is REALY the only right way to do it. Always work smart, saves your energy and injuries! Also never ever do your cut outs until you are installing your windows and or doors. And always enclose it up unless you and your insurance company have figured out how to make money by creating a " hey come steal anything you want because we left the house wide open for your "CONVENIENCE" !!!!! For you two not to be professionals you are doing GREAT! And in the future if you have any ?s shoot me a line and if I do not know the answer I do know how to find one. My Dad until he retired was a Building Contractor. So I have an inside access to a wealth of information! Happy Building!
I see your chickens are supervising. It is your home, why should anyone complain.
Doug catching that board with his foot....Ninja 😳
I see the chicken inspectors gave the work a once over, they seemed to be impressed.🐓🐓
🐥🐥🐣🐣🐤🐤🦅🐔🐔🐔
It's been chick checked.
That little bottom board was a life saver. I've always heard, work smarter not harder. It's going great! Hurry up windows and door. I'm dying to see MORE!
Love your videos, just wanted to let you know you can save time and material by just using a couple nails driven in level with the bottom plate to set the plywood on. This also allows you to adjust the plywood up or down by bending the nails. I know I know in a perfect world the wall would be perfectly square but framing ain't perfect. Lol
Pretty smart building that "ledge" to help you support the weight of that board!
I know you have your "own show" on TH-cam but you really need your "own show" on HGTV...
Doug and Ashley, you two are amazing, you both work so hard and I love following your journey, good catch Doug with your foot by the way lol, love and blessings to you all from Scotland xx
Lordy, you two are knocking this out!!! I have enjoyed watching this astronomical transformation!
9 people as of today dislike this video...blows my mind. What’s to dislike? If these folks saw an actual video showing a cure for cancer, they would dislike it! Keep up the good work OITC!
The front of the house looks wonderful. I'm certain you both are so happy that all the rotten wood and especially that fire waiting to happen outlet are gone! Great progress! Even if the weather turns cool, you will be on the inside to finish your rooms.
I love the way you clean up the 'mess' every single day! I never understood why others leave the giant mess that is dangerous at a work site & then have to spend an entire day or more to clean it up!
I know it’s not the prettiest, one slab of wood wall - but it DOES look pretty - as in nice, clean, new, and rot-free. And now that everything is all cleaned up, you MUST feel good about the progress.
Way to go ... as always you guys are ROCKIN’ the rebuild. I’m very impressed, but not amazed ... if ANYone could do it, you guys could.
Look forward to the next step.
Loved the chickens inspecting your work! And, as usual, the editing is fun, dare I say entertaining? Hope you don't get tired of reading comments that say you are a hard-working couple. It is inspiring to watch you.
Had to chuckle to see the chickens doin their chicken business! I’m proud of you guys! Kinda stupid cause I’m not your mom, but hey, good job!
You’re doing a great job. Renovations are a lot of work and you two have a great relationship to do all this on your own. Be proud of all your hard work. 😊
Good balance Doug - Oh to be young again. Watching you and Ashley working together it's easy to see what a good team you are.
Hi Llda, I was just curious if you had received the picture in the mail? :)
@@diyfferent I am so sorry Belle that I didn't acknowledge receipt of your beautiful picture. What makes someones art so special is the person who is responsible for it and you with your quiet demeanor and honest opinions are that type of person. Stay well and continue to be yourself as you are a very nice young lady. Again, please accept my apology for not getting back to you.
@@Fidg234 It's okay that you didn't get back to us. I just wanted to make sure you got it and it didn't get lost in the mail :) So glad you liked it. Thank you so much!!
I know that is not what you guys expected! But just think what you would have gotten if someone else had flipped the house, they would have just covered up what what was wrong!!! And you all would never have know for years to come!!! That electric box is very scary for your family. But; you guys are doing it right and it will last for years! GREAT Job, Guys!!! You and Ashley must be very proud of the job that you two are doing for your beautiful family!!!
"...so many staples." The very words spoken by countless teachers before you, removing countless bulletin boards...
....and today I crown you honorary teachers. I think you've earned it. ☺️
Wow! My muscles ache just from watching you two work.
It takes a lot of courage to undertake a project with the enormity of this one. And yet, there you are...fearless, in the face of rotted wood, sagging ceiling, and temporary walls!
Amazing...you’re making it happen...and I am so proud of you two! I hope Maverick and Belle are well! 💕🙏🏻💕
Thanks. Yeah they are both doing great :D
You all are fearless, not afraid to tackle any problem. You are going to have a new house when you are finished. Some of your ideas I didn't quite get at the start but in the end, everything turned out so well. I am still not a big fan of the papered walls but they are growing on me. You make quite the team and treat each other with such respect.
haha, the paper walls are a work in progress.
i glory in your drive and abilities but must also add: you have a wonderful helpmeet that has been a+ in my opinion. you better keep her because there are not many more that would be there for you like she has. my hat is off to you little lady........g
Y'all two are serious relationship goals my husband and i would have tried to kill each other after the first few hours of the very first project.
FUNNY I AGREE.
Blows my mind that you basically had cardboard sheeting on those walls originally . Really like how you are doing it
The chickens are the building inspectors.
1:45 If the chickens inspectors find something wrong you can bribe them with earthworms, or you can just eat them. LOL
It worried me that you would be open to the world once you hit the bedroom wall, but teamwork, no more rot and forward planning saw you through once more. Leaving the openings boarded up until the windows and door come through, looks the very best way forward. No temporary construction to rip out, just final work in place. It was great to see Ashley have a real speaking part as well as doing the hard work of carpenter's assistant and being a mother to two growing children. One good solid wall to see you and them through for many years. I agree about the shutters, more to paint, more to hold the water and a style from another time. You both looked pleased with the progress as well you should.
I love hearing more explanations and opinions from Ash!
Attaching that board at the bottom to hold the big sheets of wood was genius. Working smarter definitely makes it less harder. Awesome progress.
The last house I remodeled I put small can lights under the eves. It amazing how much more light you have around the house instead of the typical spot lights on the corners or even a front porch light. It floods the front yard! It's also very clean and has a modern feel. Just thought I would suggest since you are at that point. It's looking good. I hate FAKE shutters as well. Glad there gone.
You two are amazing! You work so well together. It reminds me of what it says in proverbs....Proverbs 18:22 (KJV Strong's)
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favour of the Lord. You both have certainly found good mates. Congratulations!
Another days work to be proud of Doug and Ashley!! 😀
It's so satisfying to watch you rip out the old and damaged to replace it with lovely new, strong wood. Your nail gun looks good fun. l would use some many extra nails because it's so easy!!! 😊💜
I know you guys are trying to please people but who cares what people think you should do, it’s your house and you guys are doing a great job.
It's amazing to see how cheap that wall sheathing was, looked like thick paper. Looks great now though.
Especially taking into consideration how cold and long the winter is out there. Could not imaging how much heat is lost through such thin walls. The former owners had probably warmed outside more than inside the house.
As always I love teh quality of your work. You are essentially completely rebuilding this house, it's got a whole new frame, rafters, insulation, electrical, HVAC, plumbing... I mean it's turning into as solid as a stick built house. But when you finish all this what am I gonna watch??
Can’t say it enough love the way you guys work. You both are so efficient it’s total team work always make it look easy & I’m always impressed by your results
If houses could talk: "Hey, neighbors, I'm being turned into a HOME!!!"
When my husband was overseas in the military, I converted our 2-car garage into a living room, I wanted it as my kitchen, but I couldn't find a contractor that would come out and run my water and sewer line even though it was only about 50 feet. so, I made it a living room. After watching many YT videos, I built the wall for the garage door opening. I put in a window and the wall fit perfect! But I did it the hard way hammer and nails. my shoulder wasn't the same for a year, needless to say I went out and bought a framing nailery. I also had to remove 16 windows. I did 85% by myself, my boys and sons-in-laws helped me with a few heavy things, like the subfloor sheeting and the sheeting on the outside. It was hard but satisfying. My proudest accomplishment was converting my sun porch into a pantry, and I replaced the bottom plate all by myself.
WOW!
I am so proud of all you guys have accomplished!
Exciting! I almost feel like I'm a part of your project!
Good morning! Love your videos! What a mess, but will be great when you are done! Have you had much rain? You two are the sweetest couple!
Love your smiling faces. You are amazing. How many homes have you two remolded?
We haven't had any real rain in a while. We have done a few homes :)
"The Fearless Squad" Your new name.
For all of Ashley's small size, she does so much of the hard work helping with this renovation. Both of you are inspirations. I can't wait for the windows and door to arrive. The place already looks a lot better with just the OSB on it. Good decision on the smaller window, cuts down on heat loss and traffic noise but still lets in light and you need wall space in a living room.
I am soooooo glad to see OSB sheeting vs. that garbage that was original. And the homes sell for quite a bit considering they make them so cheaply. So glad you are making the improvements! It will be a solid clean home. Nice job!
You guys are awesome how you work together. It’s fun to see the chickens🐔 🐔 🐔! Great job!!!!
I love the fact the your wife is working with you. You don’t see a lot of todays women doing this, great job.
Wow and just think, you almost put this task off. There was a bigger reason for you deciding to do it now, that electrical outlet needed to be discovered. I'm so glad you found that before something terrible happened. HUGS to you all.
Y’all work so hard and make a great team! Love seeing the process. Congratulations on how far you’ve come!
You guys continue to amaze me! I think if I had found all that rot, I would have sat down & just cried!
It really is coming along well...as always, can’t wait to see the end results!!
GREAT JOB !!! You two are a force...And sheeting the whole wall is so much faster then trying to cut out doors and windows before you put up the sheeting....And the waste isn't any different so your way is absolutely the best and far more secure Just love your channel guys
You two I can Tell have a very lovely relationship you can see the respect you have for one another you work so well together I betcha.
This isn't a mobile home this is a 🏠 house! Doug and Ashley this is unbelievable! Can u imagine the value of ur home! What a team what a lovely couple!❤❤❤
God is watching over you and all of us more than we'll ever know.
Amazing transformation even without the windows and door installed. We are excited for the reveal of the completed front of your lovely home. Every board, nail, project is just one day closer to completion of your vision. Take care, Marc and Paulette, Michigan
Your home is going to be so much warmer and cooler by this update. Wow!
It makes my day to watch another of your videos. Already waiting for the next one. :)
More excellent work! I'm looking forward to seeing the living room and kitchen lay outs.
I know it's hard work but my gosh you guys make it look so easy 😂😂😂 always an inspiration! 🥰
I don't know anything about building but I could see why you put the sheathing up before you got your windows and door. You two never cease to amaze me!
You two are such conscientious builders, and so determined! Remodeling your home reminds me of us when we were young, and brings back memories. 💕. Wish your videos went on forever!
Yay! Great work! I never miss an "episode". This real-life drama beats the ones on TV by a "country mile"!
I can only imagine how much better you feel getting that much done. Knowing how sturdy that wall is now is definitely a stress reliever.by the time you're done you are going to have a brand new house.
Oh no the chickens are involved! ❤️
1:45 The chickens are the building inspectors. And if they find something wrong you can bribe them with earthworms, or you can just eat them. LOL
Your renovation is coming along nicely! I just love watching your videos, so much better than any home renovation show you’d find on DIY Network or HGTV, and I love that you explain your process, makes it a learning experience for the views. Very excited to see the siding color you choose! Just a thought, but have you considered using insulated siding? It may additionally help lower your energy costs especially since you plan on using electric heat. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. You two are very dedicated to your work, I wish there were more hardworking people out there like you two!
I would LOVE to have the directions on how to build that thing you're standing on. It looks like it breaks down to which is a nice plus. I could use something like that around here!
He showed how to build it in one of the early videos at this house
We have a video making it here: th-cam.com/video/4DF5cbHU0Sw/w-d-xo.html
Hard work, Discipline, Love and Dedication... That's all what i could see here..
Your home is going to be warmer in the winter. Alot of work but so worth it.
I love watching your progress. The house is looking great, it must feel good to know you are making sure all is safe.
And its also a bonus that you guys remain debt free, what a blessing that is.
You understand how a huge mortgage takes over your life- what you all have now is a home that is yours and just gets better as you go!
So happy for your family!
❤️❤️❤️
Darla
WOW! Great job. Tried working on our "72" home and found nothing is square. Could be from settling, but frustrating. Glad you posted the videos. You should have your own tv show on how to remodel these homes. The chickens kept it real. Note, if I turn the playback speed up to 1.5, you guys really work fast. Thanks.
Hey you guys putting the osb on there then cutting out doors and windows is just how that mobile home was built to begin with. I worked at a mobile home plant for years we cut out the window and doors with a router instead of a saw . Nice job you guys.
That framing nailer is pretty sweet, eh?
Welcome to our mess. LOL....oh boy, you do have one but, great to see how you are pushing through it....does anything phase you guys? My husband keeps saying, "He needs a sledge hammer." I hate to tell you how many times he has said that. I swear, if I knew where you lived when we go up north in a couple of weeks, I'd leave one on your non existent front step. :) Good luck with the rest of it.
What a great job (again)! I personally like the smaller window, and the way it will match the other one in that room. You guys are really "building a house," for the most part! So impressive.
Light in that small place is more important
The new window is not that much smaller and it looks to match the other two on the front. They are customizing to meet their needs and desires for their living room layout to accommodate their furniture and such. They won’t be losing that much light really. In my opinion.LOL
I can't tell you how proud I am for the two of you doing this together. You have a great team working together. I know your home will be beautiful and safe for your family. God bless.
Norm Abram would be proud.
Great job... such a project and handling it like pros. More fun to watch than HGTV!!!! Sending support!
Sun Shine I agree! My favorite renovation team! Love the chickens checking out the work! 😊
My experience has been that doors need to have some overhead covering, even if it is just a deeper overhang just at the doorway. If it was mine I would want a small covered porch. But I understand not wanting to put holes in roof. My husband says I always want to make more work, but has often admitted I did have a good idea. We also redid an old house. All new electric and plumbing, bathes and kitchen so I know how much hard work you are doing.
By the time you finish you will have entirely rebuilt this house from the ground up! You guys do the job right.
I'm getting excited to see the outside of the house done, then onto Maverick's room
Again...you two are awesome and you seem to work so well together. There is nothing better than being a good team.
NICE CATCH WITH THE FOOT!
Your renovation is so much fun to watch. You two are so creative (and smart) about solving the problems and obstacles that come along. Your home will be safe and beautiful.
I loved when the chickens came to visit! I was waiting for them to fly up inside! ! 😛
Nice save with your foot Doug! Another awesome job done :)
The chickens and the foot save made my day!! 🥰
You two are doing an amazing job, all the hard work will be worth it. Be happy and healthy
Great job guys! I can see why you don't want a big window facing the road. When I saw the car go by it looked like you are closer to the road than I thought. Very hard grueling work! Thanks for sharing!
