    It’s the end of an era. I can’t believe it’s been three years, I remember when you put it up. Congratulations

    Has it been THREE years? I remember when you put it up. They say that time flies when you're having fun. It's been hard work for you, but it's been fun for me to follow your saga, and some day when you're sitting on your patio, sipping your homemade wine and admiring all that you've accomplished, you'll appreciate the good feelings that your achievements can bring. That's the best kind of fun.

      They haven't aged as poorly as the tent haha, they don't seem to have aged at all in three years

    Yahoo!!! Congratulations!
    You guys crack me up, from the sad music montage, to Guy going in flashback, the innuendos, and Kylie's glee at the tent finally coming down. Love it.

    I remember when you first put the tent up. That tent sure held up! I'm sure you have a lot of Tent Memories, but I'm also sure you're glad to be living inside! Congratulations!

    You two make me laugh with your good humour. And congrats on moving out of tent and into your new home, even if not complete, it is a milestone. 🎉

    The sad tent music was a nice touch. Almost like bagpipes at a funeral. Three years is a long time in a tent.

    I remember watching the installation of the deck.....wow, it's been 3 years!. Such a great milestone, well done Kylie and Guy!!

    Kudos to you both for living in a tent for three years! Winters must have been tough! I’m delighted to see you getting yourselves more comfortable in the house that you have renovated with so much hard work and love. I truly admire you both and look forward to continued viewing of this very interesting project. Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤

    @sarahnd 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Congratulations! I totally get it, having lived for years in an old wooden structure (8x12ft) that was slowly rotting into the ground... while we built the "real" house. Every hour spent trying to shore that up was another hour we were not advancing the main build. It was a great day when we were finally able to move into the house, albeit still in the middle of a construction site.🙄

  • @hwinny2
    @hwinny2 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I remember when you were hunting for your house. Then later, you disappeared. I am soooo happy for you!!!!

  • @gustavgron2252
    @gustavgron2252 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    After the milestone moving in to the house, this must be the next big symbolic milestone and relief after three years. Congrats!! (Good that you find a second use of it) Love from Sweden❤

    @taniadevilliers348 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I couldn’t work as hard as you do, sleeping in my cozy bed with my little luxuries of Aircon, diffusers, carpeted flooring, etc. Never mind doing so, camping. You are a better woman than I am, Kylie, for sure I would have complained that tent into shreds, shortly. ☺️

  • @sharonh1671

    Take care of yourselves and enjoy.

    Wow. How time flies!?
    It felt like attending a funeral... 😢 But, as with a person's life, there's so much good, about it, to celebrate, remember and give new purpose to.
    Great video. Thanks for taking us along; I'm sure we all, somehow, have a little something to take away, from it...🤗 😏 🤔
    Congratulations! I'm ready for what-, wher-, when-, however the next journey unfolds. 😎💞

    To clean & rid the canvas of mold. You make up a mixture of water & salt (not sure on ratios) but salt should be heavy. You put it on , let dry & brush off.

    Congratulations!! I can not believe it has been three years, it felt like yesterday that you put it up. Now crack out the champagne. That decking has a beautiful colour wold be nice for you to sand the decking and paint it against the elements. You both are hilarious, 'it was quick to put up' and in the video there you are crawling inside trying to put the poles up ha ha, love it. Have a lovely week end.

    Congratulations on the change of address; tent to house. It must be the most significant feeling of progress in your reno. I imagine both the canvas and poles will be useful in many ways, probably in smaller parts. Lol!
    Smart ideas for reuse! Cut them to the shape of your car windows and use them as sun screens in the hottest parts of summer. No getting in the car and sitting on hot car seats!
