    Props for all you are doing to make a home for your family, this does not look like a former mobile home, but a custom built home

    I love how you say "we" instead of "i". Gives creditability to all who live and help out in your house. Bless you. Be safe, stay well.

    The shutter idea is what will make it look finished. Even without them, it’s still a visually stunning house. With the way you reinforced the home, it’s much more than a trailer. I’d buy it😂👵🏻😘

    Awnings. So 70s. So perfect for your 70s mobile home. It’s a beautiful home. Very upscale. 🌞🌻👍🏻

  • @galady8632
    @galady8632 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I had no idea what type porch/doorway covering you two might select. Of course after much research you made the ideal choice. You kept with your minimalist style. The awnings do not overpower your home, they actually compliment your crisp, uncluttered aesthetic. Well done indeed!

  • @marilynweist6307
    @marilynweist6307 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A great solution to protect yourselves from the rain and snow. It actually looks like it was made for your home. Door mats are the cherry on top! Again great job!

    Aw! I'm envisioning you safe and cozy, ready for the winter. Even the doormats are in place. Watching your home come together has been instilling a sense of calm in me that's very welcome with all the hard times that are going on. Carry on!!!

    Awesome awnings! Well done! Looks like you've left your ladder up to the roof of the shed. If Maverick is anything like I was when I was two, he'll be up that ladder on to the roof!! I gave my Mum and Dad a heck of a fright!

  • @missyanngobin7978
    @missyanngobin7978 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Have you had any comments from the neighbors? When you bought the property it was an eyesore, now it is practically unrecognizable!!! Great job, well done!

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, we actually talked to our neighbor the other day and they haven't said a word. The UPS guy likes it though.

  • @ronaldgaska4480
    @ronaldgaska4480 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Doug & Ashley i didn't know they still made awnings. Nice color choice. Snow load won't be a problem. We have heavy snow loads here in the Northeast USA. Awnings installed in the 40's and 50's still going strong. I still say your going to need gutters to keep water and moisture away from the house. Are you worried about the tree outside your kitchen window? For railing i would use pipes. You can leave natural or paint. I'm so proud of the both of you. It really looks like a home and not a mobile. I love the retro feel, but new and modern. This should last your family a life time. I would pain the shop/barn roof a dark grey and the sides white. Do you plan on planting low maintaining shrubs/plants in from of the house? I watch many channels and you are respected by other DIY'ers. Happy Labor Day!

    It's truly heartwarming watching you complete this huge task of renovating a trailer house, transforming it into a Beautiful Home. You did it your way (DIYfferently), with a bit of blood, sweat and a couple tears. Enjoy! I am so looking forward to whatever projects are coming soon. : ) Hugs from Nor Cali.

  • @paulpayne9291
    @paulpayne9291 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I really enjoy your videos! I like the way that you guys do things as a family. In the video where you were making the steps, your son was playing all around you and even on you! I thought that was great! Your son is learning from you and he doesn't even know that. You and your wife seem to be so humble and easy going and that is rare these days. I wish you and your family the best in these difficult times!

    These awnings are perfect for your homes. The black top matches the roof and the white underside matches the house as well as keeping it light and airy looking. You have solved the problems of so many of your viewers during this remodel as well I'm sure given them the courage to try it themselves. Great Job guys. Have a Blessed day.

    When you said it was complete, I thought,

    But then you brought the door matts for the porches & then I thought, “Yeah, NOW it’s complete!”
    I remember when you first moved in & what your house looks like now...so very impressive. It looks better than new & it
    has been done the way YOU wanted it done!
    Congratulations! 🥳 !!

    Wow! I really like those awnings. I love that they are lightweight and they look to be pretty well made, I love your solution to simple and keeping the front and back steps protected. I love anything bamboo, it is a sustainable and a great product, I have many things that are made out of bamboo, and they just look great and hold up very well. Thanks so much for sharing another great video. Stay safe and I'm sending love and hugs, bye for now.

    @Dontwantahandle0 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The awnings are great, didn't know Home Depot had them. We'll be looking for them the next time we're down in the valley. The bamboo rug will keep weeds and grass from growing into you walks, which is an added benefit. The mats are the finishing touch, perfect!

    If the balance of the back door set up bugs you, try the visual trick of either attaching a decoration, bird feeder, etc. to the right side of your back door. If that's not an option, you can do a planting on that side to draw the eye over.

  • @colleenscottcarmello5103

Love the color and the underneath being white as well is great.. cute little door mats in front of each door just ties it all in.. omg I just love how it all turned out.. You took a tired old house and built it into a happy loving home that is stunning and beautiful.. You guys are amazing!! :))

    @sksbc3895 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The house looks fantastic, you must be so happy :) I just wanted to mention something... as a person who had wooden steps in the past... wooden steps tend to get 'very' slippery over time once the weather gets rainy. You may want to coat them with a grainy textured paint or add treads to the steps so you don't end up on your backs in mid-step. As always, great job you guys! :)

    This type of awning was put on a lot of ranch houses when I was growing up in the 1950’s! I had know idea they were being made again. You have transformed your mobile home into the type of ranch houses that become popular after the war in the late 1940’s-1950’s-1960’s complete with the
    aluminum awnings over the doorways. These houses are still everywhere what you did brings back a lot of memories. The resemblance ends on the
    outside what you’ve done on the inside is completely different and absolutely stunning unbelievably beautiful and innovative. Cheers to you guys!
