Sensational! What a stunner of a property; so beautiful and well crafted. It's so wonderful and kind for you to share your dream home. I hope you and your family enjoy it for many many years!
THE STUDIO!!! Please give us a tour of the new studio! 🎦 📺 🎙️ And congratulations to BO for a job well done supervising the remodel and all outdoor additions! Great job BO! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Welcome to the club of RV'ers going homesteading. Can't wait to see what you do with your property. We bought our 10-acre parcel a little over 18 months ago and can't believe the transformation we've made so far. We're doing our 100% off-grid!
Thank you for your comment as I had no idea there was a club! My husband and I bought a homestead in west Texas in 2020 during covid after we were full time RVers. We still have our rig and travel periodically.
The house is a perfect size and nicely designed. Too big you just collect more stuff you really don’t need because as you know it’s the life experiences such as family,traveling being out in nature and meeting people is more important. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. One more thing… love the tv that does the slide show of your beautiful photography. Have that on my iPhone and brings back smiles of fun trips and times ❤❤❤
Comment, what a wonderful place, the lake is awesome, tons of lily pads! It is going to be fun trying to find the bass hiding under those. We are from west Michigan, currently living in Texas. When I retire we plan to spend a lot of time back in the beautiful state of Michigan. Maybe we will run into each other someday. Very happy your project is close to being completed. What a blessing to have such a wonderful place close to the grandkids.
How wonderful to have a home base for your travels, which is even more important as we get older. What a gorgeous property! I would like to recommend changing your channel name to "RV & Homestead Lifestyle" to encompass the many elements that go with the homestead or off-grid living. Question: do you plan to get solar panels on the roof eventually?
I found it interesting to watch you renovate your new home in SW Michigan. You caught my attention with where you have decided to locate, since I also live in SW Michigan. I am particularly interested to see your video of the studio. You mentioned wildlife photography, which is also what I do, particularly traveling Michigan in my RV with my camera equipment. Then, you put up a tower and mentioned ham radio. Greetings from K8SC! I would love a chance to chat and compare notes. Wish you all the best in your new home. Cheers, and Merry Christmas! Steve
Great result, Mike and Jen! Great layout and views. So nice to be close to your grandkids, too. Struck by the similarities to our home and 10 acres in SE MN near Rochester (we even have an antenna like yours). In 2007 we bought the property and the house came with it. After our son was born (my fourth and my wife's first) we renovated our 1954 home doubling its size and added a 1,000 sq. ft. deck wrapping around the covered patio. I park our Rockwood Mini-Lite trailer near the 30' x 60' shop/three car garage on a leveled spot and have a dedicated 30 amp plug for it. Thanks for sharing and your videos are top notch.
Thanks for the tour. What a nice workout area looking out at that view. I hope you show us more of your garden when planting season arrives in 2024. Looked like most of it is a raised bed.
I've always found that remodeling is more stressful and could be more expensive..but in both cases, having it all done is a joyous blessing. CONGRATULATIONS ! You have a much deserved beautiful home..and close to the grandkids is the cherry on the top ! Thankyou for sharing.
Yes! We spent way more than we expected. It would have been less expensive to build new. But we feel more attached to this house doing it as we did....It's very personal. Hard to explain. I can see why some people get addicted to buying and rehabbing houses. Very satisfying.
Please share more! I loved it. My husband and I just bought land and we have a small lake area that needs a deck/dock. Your wisdom and guidance on what you used would greatly be appreciated. Our water area is very similar to yours. Thank you!
Hi, Mike and Jenn...I remember you from WDIV days. Then I listened to your TH-cam channel. Now I am living in Kalamazoo county...if I see you around town, I will say "hello"!! Congrats on your new homestead ❤❤❤
Thx for the wonderful tour of your amazing new home and the awesome redecorating done. We have similar situation with a condo that has pond/deer/geese/turtle/etc. in which we live 7 mo then travel 5 mo in our Navion. We appreciate all your posts. Thank you
Congratulations!! The house is beautiful and how great is it that you are so close to the grands! Can't wait to see more videos from this awesome place.
It's beautiful. It's great you repurosed the older home. Instead of demolition. You'll are doing a beautiful job with the property. Keep the great video's coming. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Great New Year. Be safe and well.
I'm amazed with the energy and vision you both have. Well done. Congratulations on your home purchase and beautiful remodel. Would be interested in more videos of home projects in the future. Thank you for the tour and sharing of your home. Blessings to you.
Congratulations! What a long process, but it is all very beautiful! We are Michigan natives. Jim lived some of his life in Holland, MI. We lived our whole married life on the other side of the state. We love Michigan, but are excited about wintering where it is warm now. 🥶🌴 We just retired in September and are traveling full time in our Airstream. Enjoy your new beautiful home, property and lake!
Great videos tour of your new home and what it took to make it yours. We've done three extensive reno's on three different houses, all while living in the houses. So we're well aware of the mess, time and finances it takes to get it where you want it! Once it's done you have some great stories to tell while living in the house you created. God bless you in your new home with many years of happy gatherings with family and friends.
I found 10 acres in northern Mi up by Traverse City that had a 3 bedroom 3,000 ft house, an RV garage, a shed and nature trails thru out…sold in two days before we could even get there to see it! 🙁
Thank you so much for this tour! What an amazing and beautiful transformation! Truly inspiring as to what is possible in life! May you have many blessed years in your new home together! 🥰🥰🥰
A very exciting video. What a beautiful transformation of an oldie but goodie. What a view! Happiness for you two. Glad you are close to your loved ones! Happy Holidays to both of you.
Wow!!!! Soo happy and proud for y’all!!!! A+ on all aspects. Sooo beautiful, classy and inviting. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Mike & Jenn. 🎄⛪️🎉❤👍🤗👏👏👏
Congrats! What a gorgeous pc of land and the remodel is looking great. You guys are living my dream retirement...beautiful homestead and lots of travel, I can't wait for my turn! Also, I'm a techie so I'd love to see a tour of the new studio.
Jen you are amazing! Looks like you are already done unpacking all those boxes! We moved into a new home this July and it's December and I still have boxes to unpack hidden in our basement. Ugh! It amazes me how you don't look tired at all from all the activity to get moved into this new place! :o)
Oh Patty how I wish we were all settled in. Since we had been in the same house for thirty years we brought things we shouldn't have and gave away things I wish we still had. We are getting there. In time I will go through each room and find a place for everything.
How wonderful! Congratulations on your beautiful new property! We met you at the Tampa RV show earlier this year, was so good to meet you!enjoy your new home ❤
Thank You for the beautiful video. Please make more with properly updates. So happy for you guys. Also would like a detailed whole house generator video. We are considering one also. We are hoping to plumb it to our natural gas line. We are in Southern California.
Mike and Jen you have outdone yourselves! Beautifully done renovations. Congratulations! Enjoy your new home. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We will be RVing in Florida for the next few months. You both inspired us so much before we started RVing 7 years ago. Now on our 3rd rig. 37' Keystone Outback. Thanks for all you do! Happy Trails! 🥰🥰
Congratulations Mike and Jen. Your property looks just exactly like something my husband and I would like to do in East Texas. (We love pine trees.) Looks like you are near your grandkids and adult children. Ideal place to move. We want to hear about your travels in the spring and summer. I have subscribed now, and I will be looking to see where you go.
Love your new place and love how well thought out everything is! Hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas🎄. Looking forward to seeing more of you guys in 2024.
It's not a media room for watching movies... It's for podcasting, video live streaming and editing video but If enough people say they want a video on it, I'll gladly do so!
Beautiful everyone's dream God Bless and Happy Trails.😊
Sensational! What a stunner of a property; so beautiful and well crafted. It's so wonderful and kind for you to share your dream home. I hope you and your family enjoy it for many many years!

@@ebonybowman3813 haha, there's not a club but it sounds fun 😁
You really tricked that place out, well done! Looks fabulous!
Comment: Great property, beautiful renovations! I love the view and the surroundings!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Your openness and transparency is heartfelt. May Gods bless your new home and family.
Congratulations you two. You turned this fixer upper into a beautiful home.
Love your story about finding the property ❤️ it reminds me of the Lord's timing, not ours.
It was meant to be. God Bless
We had been praying for decades as to where we should live.
Wishing you many years of beautiful sunrises in your lovely new home. ❤
Your home looks awesome!
It was nice running into you two at the store yesterday!
It was very nice to meet you! Merry Christmas!
