Have to be honest, it broke my heart to see the look on Spencer’s face and how hard he was on himself when the sheetrock was cut short. Dude you have do give yourself a bit of grace. The things you have accomplished are extraordinary. I can promise you that when your kids and grand kids talk about what you have done it will be with awe, love, and respect. Your children and their children and their children’s children for generations to come will remember and speak of you with such love and reverence. Extend to yourself the grace and mercy you shower you family with.
What I love most is how they handle the disappointments and mistakes as such a powerful unit. Daddy never yells and mommy never pouts..they use humor, patience and understanding to build each other up and not tear each other down. Your kids are so lucky!
You r absolutely right the way u describe them is perfect.....i have same feelings about them but I don't know much English so can't Express they r perfect understanding couple....👍

From your best drama series too your favorite comedy shows, they all have something in common. They are actors... the roll they choose to play makes you love them or hate them..! However they are still actor playing a roll to get the check... and this one comes with 1,150,000 subscribers at $1700 a day... so good or bad are you entertained watching them?

A box built over a box, with another box inside it...probably end up as a B-n-B on VRBO.... fans would pay stupid money to stay in this for some reason....
Well Spencer, I've been building furniture for 42 years and I still cut boards too short on occasion. Don't beat yourself up, you're doing a great job!
She has been that way from the very beginning. In one of the earliest videos she takes some time to explain Spencer to the viewers. He's a mechanical genius, no joke intended. He is able to sort out mechanical problems and fix them. It was amazing to watch him on this build figuring out, solving, and executing builds and repairs as he goes. He is amazing, really. I married a Spencer, myself. My first major birthday gift to him was a VCR. Now, mind you, it takes me weeks to figure out any electronic connection system, and that's after reading the manual multiple times and many times of trial and error. I had the pleasure of seeing him lay out the wiring and put the system together with the new unit. It took him about an hour, and it was that long because he had to duck out to the electronics store and, on the way back, he ordered and picked up a pizza. The way they understand this complicated area is truly remarkable.
@@DL-ep5uk Not if she was your love and support. Not everyone is the same, we all differ in temperament, what works for their relationship wouldn't work for yours.
I know right! She laughs so easily. A breath of fresh air. Spencer is a proper top bloke too though eh?! You're both a great example of how to live well and joyfully.
17:17 the saddest tune ever because it tells me I have to wait another 7 days. But my stubborn self rewatches your old videos over and over because you are one of the most wholesome channels on YT. We love you and wish you all the best as you continue to tackle this build while growing and nurturing your family and furry friends
Well another wholesome channel actually two channels is Herd and Falconry by...sorry I can't remember the lady's name. Both channels are about people interacting with animals. It has been fascinating to watch both the people and animals, cause it is so full of well being and as you put it wholesomeness.
What i like about this couple is that you are not only filled with knowledge in building a house but your heart is filled with so much admiration how they work hand in hand and to top it all, they are great inspiration to all of their subscribers. They made us feel that we are part of their journey too.

It's interesting to see how different another country does a shower. I own a tiling business here in NZ and we use Ardex liquid membrane system. It's so easy and very effective. You just line all the walls as usual but a fibre cement board wall lining is preferable in a shower area. Then each floor/wall/corner joint is filled with silicon and painted with 2 coats of membrane with reinforcing mesh or tape in each corner/wall/floor junction. Viola, done! Preformed tile-to bases are also often used where a level entry shower floor hasn't been formed into the concrete slab. It's also necessary to put lots of wall lining fixings in where tiles are going to fixed and to make sure that the wall lining is rated to take the weight of the tiles you are using. I love this channel. I am so impressed with how much you have both taught yourselves during this build and the quality of your workmanship. You have such a great sense of humour (Mackenzie is such a clown!) and how cute are Miss Beau's curls!
Maybe she meant it because MacKenzie shouldn't be doing heavy lifting. I don't think she meant it like MacKenzie is disabled. People are so sensitive 🙄 I am pretty sure she's doing everything she can while making sure she doesn't hurt the baby. If not, she would've been climbing 🪜 and going on top of the scaffold to help out like she did at the beginning.
There is a benefit to using bigger pieces rather than using up bigger small pieces when mudding time comes. That is the lesson I learned my one and only time doing this adventure. IMO, prepare for a summer at the edge of your seat.
I remember when Spencer would give Kenzie/us the side eye in the beginning whenever she would be filming him. Now he's holding the camera with one hand, explaining what he is doing, smiling and joking too! So proud of you Spencer! You too Kenzie!! for keep the sunshine, jokes and moral going! 💗 from Toronto 🇨🇦
Have to admit when lovely Mackenzie asked Spenser to test the toilet, that look on his face was priceless - laughed longer and harder than I should. Then Beau stands on Papa’s shoes and drops something in the toilet bowl..
Spencer, you are too hard on yourself my man! So, you made a mistake, you learned something, so it is not a wasted effort. You are doing great! Congrats on the completion of the DW!
It's nice knowing your channel hasn't objectified or used the wife or girlfriend as a pawn to get views. Your videos are just what they say they are. No scandalous thumbnail used for click bait to draw you in. Kudos on a classy channel!
Wow glad your filming this because years later you can show people all the labor of love you poured into this home. We 25 years ago had worked on our lower bed and bath and our middle son was 3...we are in there again and doing some needed changes and my husband and middle son gutted it...I took pictures back then and now so I’m going to leave them in the wall as a hidden time capsule...You guys should leave a photo of you three and a message on the back somewhere in the wall...also leave current events of the town paper too...We found a 1950 newspaper and Wrigley gum wrapper and a little girls school photo that lived here in the kitchen floor and wall...was super neat to find!! Tfs👍💕😎
Oh boy!!! You two have the courage of a lion. I live in South Africa. Here all houses, even low cost houses are build with bricks and mortar. We do use drywalling on commercial level for office space. The other exception is squater houses where corrugated sink metal sheets are used for walling. God bless all of you. I can't wait to see the finished product!!!!!
I so admire and respect you two!! I realize, when following your journey, that your ability to risk has greatly enhanced your ability to learn. You haven't made 3000 mistakes, Spencer; you have problem-solved you way through 3000 challenges, and done so successfully!! And you didn't give up, or whine and complain, or feel defeated (at least not on camera, LOL!). What a blessing to get to share this experience with you.
Mackenzie always seems to smile & laugh to reduce the stress of building your own place. We ALL make mistakes, but that's one way of Learning! Keep on working/learning!
So awesome - the house looks great. I remember watching your trials with the container floor coating, knowing someday little feet would patter about that area in your home. Just listening to Beau's sweet voice, seeing her curiosity and hearing those little footsteps is everything! Thanks for sharing your journey. With love.
I am currently doing a full gut and rebuild of my master bathroom. 54.5 inches wide by 72 inches long... yeah... shower, toilet, and vanity... bumped out a cabinet from the hallway and now the bathroom is 54.5 inches by 16ft. Still slim but that extra room makes it less squished. I got inspired to tackle it by watching you guys and jumped in. So happy I did. Thanks!
I was a contractor. I built my own 3,000 sq ft house. I did everything myself. I know how to tape and float. But I still hired out that part. They did the whole house in 2 days. Best $1200 I ever spent! Would have taken me months. My advise is hire that part out! Especially if you have never done it before!
I could not agree more, especially with M being pregnant. Let that crew in to tape, mud, and sand.. it will be worth the price to let the pros in. Mudding drywall is an art, and there's nothing more annoying than having a shadow left by an amateur mud job.
@@scottlyttle5586 Aww dam... I just got out of Rehab. I've Been taking a drink Everyone someone says *Hire* *out* *the* *mudding* *and* *tapping* I'mma get liver poisoning in the next few weeks🙄
The ease with which Mackenzie picks up their child... She doesn't have Spencer's bulging guns, but there's some serious muscle she's developed. I'm always impressed by you both.
My daughter 20 years ago was just like her she would wander in to help. Those are the memories that are pure gold. I cry just remembering my girls early years. Another girl my prediction. No matter what it's God's gift 🎁 to you.
Great video! For future reference- If you ever need to pull a toilet for any reason... Try setting it in a construction-site quality trash bag as soon as you can. This makes it much easier to haul through the house, without the mess. Or, if you have a tub in the same room, you can set it in the tub. Keep up the good work!
Yeah! You did it! You guys remind me of my husband and I at your age.....We didn't do a container house but we did most of it ourselves between running a Dairy Farm. So enjoy those memories. You will enjoy your home! Our son is raising his family in the house we built now. Makes me happy to watch you guys building a future with Beau and Baby.
I also want to add that the chemistry of sooo-much love for each other shows they have complete respect for each other's wants and needs. I really love McKenzie's great sense of humor it really motivates Spencer to constantly want to please and make McKenzie happy.
Thanks a lot Sales... Ive been taking a drink Everytime someone recommends hiring out the mudding and tapping. We were doing so well... *2021* *shot's* *later* I'm headed back to Rehab.
I know it’s hard to do Spencer, but don’t take mistakes personally. That’s what you call a learning curve. Honestly, for someone who has never done construction, you are doing a better job than some contractors that I’ve seen. Keep your head up buddy, you got this.
One of the best parts of your videos is seeing your daughter right there by her dad watching. The amount of information that she is soaking up right now is incredible. If only all of today’s children could experience what your daughter and new child will learn on your homestead. Wish my own kids wouldn’t of had as much television and video gaming growing up. You are doing it right! Love watching your progress! Blessings to you and your family!
Love our weekly visits to your beautiful family and beautiful home. A ray of sunshine in these cloudy times. Sending love and thanks from Scotland 🏴 Uk 🇬🇧 xoxo
I feel so bad for Spencer when he makes a mistake...He should give himself a BREAK, you guys have built a HOME!!! with your 4 hands and No-One else sooo no matter how many mistakes its an incredible journey and such beautiful work !
Most definitely!! Lots of Praise to you both for building Your Own House!! Huge Kudos for that massive task you've taken on and conquering it like no one's biz!😁
Very nice, and so exciting that you have all of the drywall up, and the cement board up in the bathroom. Beau is growing up so fast, she is just adorable and it is so fun to hear her talk and run around. You both have done such an amazing job, and I always look forward to your next video and the progress you're making. Sending love and hugs, see you soon, bye for now.
I am from Kenya, Africa and I have kept up with you guys since God knows when. I have learnt a lot about supporting, understanding and experiencing setbacks and accomplishments together as a team/partners. I love y'all and I hope to see you guys complete your HOME! Lots of love today and always.
This one made me cry! It's so cool to see all the drywall up and it all really begin to look like a house on the inside! I cannot wait until you get nice hot showers and baths for little Beau in that house you've worked so hard on. This is better than any TV show out there! Thank you for sharing guys!
The tenderness with which M asks S, “Are you okay?” (5:42) is matched by the tenderness with which S helps M up from the floor at 6:20. Mutual love, respect, admiration--SO beautiful! AND B’s speech/language development sounds perfect!!
@@katiwl Yeah, I didn’t understand the comment either. I’m guessing they directly translated from their first language, maybe an idiom, so the sentence structure is off. Dunno 🤷♀️
Perhaps the only channel that causes me to be saddened when the episode comes to an end. I hear that music and I'm bummed that there isn't more. Now that's good stuff!
I use a small butter dish to scoop out the water from the toilet and then use a large garbage bag to set the toilet in when removing it that way you don't have to worry about water while you are moving the toilet out of the bathroom.
I use a shop vac and suck the water out then flip the hose to blow and use some rags as a seal to blow the rest of the water out. Then lift it into a large garbage bag.
I think I can now laugh at all our renovation problems that we have experienced, seeing similar problems with yours - I just guess it happens to everyone! Your work is still quality work and be happy for that. I also agree with the other comments regarding how you both handle the frustrations - no yelling, no fighting, no pointing fingers - you don't know how refreshing it is. Keep up the wonderful work and the great videos. You have showed us how it is done!
Spencer is so clever. He just fixes everything. A little too hard on himself when he makes a mistake though. You must be so proud of yourselves. Can't wait to see what's next after drywall. 😊😊😊❤
I'm not a plumber by trade, but I have replaced several toilets over the years. I use a small dixie cup to dip out as much water from the bowl before moving it.
I put down old towels, and it never hurts to set the wet/dry vac to water mode and get as much as you can out by sticking the hose in the bowl. Oh, and flush a few times first to help clean the system, so the water is cleaner when it spills.
I have a gut feeling you’ll be revisiting the bathroom build in a year or so. Not a builder, but I remember the cement board goes all the way up the wall where you’re going to tile (wet areas hit by the shower). Thought a special drywall (green) is used in areas of high humidity. Prayers for you that I am wrong and all goes well.
Hallo lovely people , you had a very cold winter , in our country the Netherlands it was 23°C last week and today it was 2°C with snow . Greetings from the Netherlands. We always say " if you do notting you can't do enyting wrong" , So heads up and move on .
I always thought if was "if you aren't Dutch, You aren't much". Thankfully, I'm Dutch. Family is from Rotterdam and Katwijk. Cousin in Alphen an Den Rijn
Hooray!!! So excited to see you finally finish installing the drywall. It was such an incredible challenge you two handled so beautifully. I've been watching you on this project for so long, I suggest you get a temporary postal box in town so people like myself can send you a housewarming present when you are done...:)
Beau is so cute trying to help Daddy. I heard her say "I did it" when Spencer was talking about the bathroom not being sound proof yet because the wall isn't finished.
I feel for Spencer when he’s put so much hard work in something and it doesn’t work out. Just wanted you both to know you’re doing amazing and love seeing the progress!!
Plugging away with smiles and laughter. You’re an awesome family getting through the last 3 years. Exactly why I can’t wait for each video. Bless you all.
you're building more than just your home. you're strengthening your relationship and characters too. You're such great role models. Thank you! I'm quite excited for your finished home tour. I know I'm gonna be crying for joy like I already am with your 'small victories'. Keep going! ❤️❤️❤️
First off, your work is impeccable. Just need more knowledge and experience. Old timers differ only Bc of that plus while they expect perfection, they also expect mistakes along the way.
Old timers strive for perfection but have enough experience to correct and hide most easy mistakes why...because they made mistakes along the way or had to correct others mistakes in the past
@@sheikgold i'm wishing they would build a huge garage and workshop when the house is done then move on to a miniature container clubhouse for the kids , just don't want them to end.
You guys are building a greater relationship; you enhance each other through the trivial day to day experiences. Don't let the little things get you down and the little gap in the drywall is a little thing. I agree, watching you guys work through this project is good for us during the inconvenient down time. Thanks for the video.
Some helpful tips for you: Get a collared screw gun for your drywall work. WAY faster. Two, don’t Frankenstein your substrate. Go cbu (cement board) all over where there’s tile. There’s multiple reasons NOT to use gypsum board unless you’re coating a topical all over. If you use a topical then be sure to use anti-fracture membrane where there’s seems ans change of plane (wall to wall or wall to floor) Schluter system doesn’t use vinyl pans and if you don’t wanna use their pan and curb system to save money, protect a plywood substrate w poly or roofing paper, tack down hardware cloth, pack one pan (as opposed to pre slope + pan w vinyl) and beer and around a schluter bonded flange drain and then waterproof the hell out of it using the anti fracture membrane. Three: nail plates dude. Four: carry your toilet from disconnect to shower drain or put a trash bag underneath to catch the water from the p trap. Watch Sal Diblasi on TH-cam. He’s the most trustworthy teacher out there. Or hmu w questions anytime.
My walk will have to wait....Awww, Daddy's lil helper!! Beau is so cute and getting so big!! The outside shots of your house are spectacular! It is soo beautiful!! 👏👏👏👏 Kensey's laugh is so contagious, just makes me laugh too!😂😂 Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
Congrats on finishing the drywall, it’s been a massive and intricate process. Next time you need to move the toilet, place it in a large garbage bag to catch any spills. All the house reno type shows do that lol
Excellent work with the toilet Spencer, you're a regular commode commando! I've been following your channel for a few years now. You two are an inspiration!
I've been with these people I consider family I get to watch build not just a shipping container home, but a family, hands on knowledge of everything that makes a house liviable/loveable, while loving and supporting each other through it all. 🥰
Love the channel, love what you guys have done. As a bit of a DIY guy myself I installed a 4 head unit ductless mini split system in my house, I am anticipating some adjustments to what you just covered with dry wall. Most of the units I worked with have about 18” of factory piping on the back that get flexed out and actually protrude through a channel through the wall and the refrigerant lines will actually connect outside of the house. Your units could be different but I look forward to seeing your install.
It's all coming together now ! have been watching since you put up your border fence ! So cool to support you guys in a small way! I can wait for the mudding and the painting !! The anticipation for the kitchen is real!
I love that you guys show the mistakes along with the finished product and how you fixed it. It’s shows that you’re not trying to be perfect and just being real.
Love how the house is coming together. Spencer could give most builders a run for their money, hoping everything is going well with the pregnancy too. . Plus can beau be any more adorable 😍 so cute standing on daddy's foot to see what's going on.
You’re getting there! DIY is so much slower than contractor-built, but so much more satisfying. My, but the baby is sprouting...not too long until she has a sibling. Great TH-cam channel you guys!
You guys are so sweet, Spencer, don't get down on yourself, you have been doing an amazing job!!!! Doing this all by yourselves would impress anyone. My Father was a carpenter and was amazing at anything. If he was still alive, he would be so proud of your hard work. Way to go Spencer, you are the man!!!
You two are doing a great job. I'm blessed to be able to watch not just the transformation of your home but the transformation of your family. Thank you for sharing!

Oh boy!!! You two have the courage of a lion. I live in South Africa. Here all houses, even low cost houses are build with bricks and mortar. We do use drywalling on commercial level for office space. The other exception is squater houses where corrugated sink metal sheets are used for walling.
God bless all of you. I can't wait to see the finished product!!!!!
I so admire and respect you two!! I realize, when following your journey, that your ability to risk has greatly enhanced your ability to learn. You haven't made 3000 mistakes, Spencer; you have problem-solved you way through 3000 challenges, and done so successfully!! And you didn't give up, or whine and complain, or feel defeated (at least not on camera, LOL!). What a blessing to get to share this experience with you.
Love seeing how Beau is always trying to get in and “help” too. 😂
I think Beau is ready for her own hard hat and tool belt!
She is such a happy child.
Mackenzie always seems to smile & laugh to reduce the stress of building your own place. We ALL make mistakes, but that's one way of Learning!
Keep on working/learning!
So awesome - the house looks great. I remember watching your trials with the container floor coating, knowing someday little feet would patter about that area in your home. Just listening to Beau's sweet voice, seeing her curiosity and hearing those little footsteps is everything! Thanks for sharing your journey. With love.
I am currently doing a full gut and rebuild of my master bathroom. 54.5 inches wide by 72 inches long... yeah... shower, toilet, and vanity... bumped out a cabinet from the hallway and now the bathroom is 54.5 inches by 16ft. Still slim but that extra room makes it less squished. I got inspired to tackle it by watching you guys and jumped in. So happy I did. Thanks!
I was a contractor. I built my own 3,000 sq ft house. I did everything myself. I know how to tape and float. But I still hired out that part. They did the whole house in 2 days. Best $1200 I ever spent! Would have taken me months. My advise is hire that part out! Especially if you have never done it before!
You build that house in the 40’s??
I could not agree more, especially with M being pregnant. Let that crew in to tape, mud, and sand.. it will be worth the price to let the pros in. Mudding drywall is an art, and there's nothing more annoying than having a shadow left by an amateur mud job.
@@scottlyttle5586 Aww dam... I just got out of Rehab. I've Been taking a drink Everyone someone says
*Hire* *out* *the* *mudding* *and* *tapping*
I'mma get liver poisoning in the next few weeks🙄
@@geedavia1785 I'm a handyman, and I'll just say it now..mudding sucks. If you must do it, vancouver carpenter has some great tips.
@@zep136 nope 18 years ago, got a mudders that for new construction to do it asa side job on the weekend
The ease with which Mackenzie picks up their child... She doesn't have Spencer's bulging guns, but there's some serious muscle she's developed.
I'm always impressed by you both.
Helping hang drywall will do that to ya.
Plus she is several months pregnant.
She's very strong and fit
My daughter 20 years ago was just like her she would wander in to help. Those are the memories that are pure gold. I cry just remembering my girls early years. Another girl my prediction. No matter what it's God's gift 🎁 to you.
Great video! For future reference- If you ever need to pull a toilet for any reason... Try setting it in a construction-site quality trash bag as soon as you can. This makes it much easier to haul through the house, without the mess. Or, if you have a tub in the same room, you can set it in the tub. Keep up the good work!
Yeah! You did it! You guys remind me of my husband and I at your age.....We didn't do a container house but we did most of it ourselves between running a Dairy Farm. So enjoy those memories. You will enjoy your home! Our son is raising his family in the house we built now. Makes me happy to watch you guys building a future with Beau and Baby.
I also want to add that the chemistry of sooo-much love for each other shows they have complete respect for each other's wants and needs. I really love McKenzie's great sense of humor it really motivates Spencer to constantly want to please and make McKenzie happy.
And now - for the HIRING OUT of the mudding - taping and sanding.
Yes, that's an expense that is definitely worth the price.
Thanks a lot Sales... Ive been taking a drink Everytime someone recommends hiring out the mudding and tapping. We were doing so well...
*2021* *shot's* *later*
I'm headed back to Rehab.
@@geedavia1785 Bahahahahahahahahaha! Gulp! Cheers mate! LMAO
I know it’s hard to do Spencer, but don’t take mistakes personally. That’s what you call a learning curve. Honestly, for someone who has never done construction, you are doing a better job than some contractors that I’ve seen. Keep your head up buddy, you got this.
One of the best parts of your videos is seeing your daughter right there by her dad watching. The amount of information that she is soaking up right now is incredible. If only all of today’s children could experience what your daughter and new child will learn on your homestead. Wish my own kids wouldn’t of had as much television and video gaming growing up. You are doing it right! Love watching your progress! Blessings to you and your family!
Love our weekly visits to your beautiful family and beautiful home. A ray of sunshine in these cloudy times. Sending love and thanks from Scotland 🏴 Uk 🇬🇧 xoxo
Stay positive Spence. Your workmanship looks great. You can tell you take pride in what you do. Mistakes are to be expected when doing it yourself.
I feel so bad for Spencer when he makes a mistake...He should give himself a BREAK, you guys have built a HOME!!! with your 4 hands and No-One else sooo no matter how many mistakes its an incredible journey and such beautiful work !
Absolutely! Plus guys that have been doing this for years still make these same mistakes!
Most definitely!! Lots of Praise to you both for building Your Own House!! Huge Kudos for that massive task you've taken on and conquering it like no one's biz!😁
Spencer We all make mistakes that's why we are human beings. Plus if it was easy, we would be disappointed . Great job to you both.
The house is looking great! Glad to see the water is flowing again! Can't wait to see the taping and mudding extravaganza!
Very nice, and so exciting that you have all of the drywall up, and the cement board up in the bathroom. Beau is growing up so fast, she is just adorable and it is so fun to hear her talk and run around. You both have done such an amazing job, and I always look forward to your next video and the progress you're making. Sending love and hugs, see you soon, bye for now.
Can you believe how grown up she's getting? I love to hear her talk.
Youth has a great advantage on new projects. YOU all have done a great thing and have a beautiful daughter...
What else would I rather do than to pause whatever am watching and watch life uncontained
🤣🤣🤣🤣this is legit what i just did
Haha same
Hey, me too!
Me
You know it. I see that little blue dot and feel a little bit happier.
I am from Kenya, Africa and I have kept up with you guys since God knows when. I have learnt a lot about supporting, understanding and experiencing setbacks and accomplishments together as a team/partners. I love y'all and I hope to see you guys complete your HOME! Lots of love today and always.
This one made me cry! It's so cool to see all the drywall up and it all really begin to look like a house on the inside! I cannot wait until you get nice hot showers and baths for little Beau in that house you've worked so hard on. This is better than any TV show out there! Thank you for sharing guys!
I have to give you guys major props for all the patient's you guys have and you guys are doing such a great job with your container
The tenderness with which M asks S, “Are you okay?” (5:42) is matched by the tenderness with which S helps M up from the floor at 6:20. Mutual love, respect, admiration--SO beautiful! AND B’s speech/language development sounds perfect!!
Baby girls are daddy's helpers. It is nice to see both of the women in your family helping out
You guys need to make a fold down shelf over the toilet so you have more counter space to use while you get ready.
A lot of close tolerance work just got done... proud of you! Best of luck as you sprint toward the finish line with tape, mud, tile and paint!
I just want to say from a health care worker across the ocean. Thank you for making the pandemic a little bit easier by posting these videos ♥️
Healthcare workers are our heroes, so sending you love and respect back from here 🇺🇸 THANK YOU.
Go to hell with pandemic and similiar on this channel.
@@matefurlan86
Excuse me?
I found this during the pandemic also and I tune in every week since 🤗
@@katiwl Yeah, I didn’t understand the comment either. I’m guessing they directly translated from their first language, maybe an idiom, so the sentence structure is off. Dunno 🤷♀️
Perhaps the only channel that causes me to be saddened when the episode comes to an end. I hear that music and I'm bummed that there isn't more. Now that's good stuff!
I agree 100%.. feel the same way
Meeee too! I always say, "Awwww!"😔
I feel the same. I always look forward to next episode.
I use a small butter dish to scoop out the water from the toilet and then use a large garbage bag to set the toilet in when removing it that way you don't have to worry about water while you are moving the toilet out of the bathroom.
I use a shop vac and suck the water out then flip the hose to blow and use some rags as a seal to blow the rest of the water out. Then lift it into a large garbage bag.
😁 Now you tell him. 😁
Does that make your butter taste funny?
@@jamesmorrison7847 😁😂🤣😁😂🤣
I think I can now laugh at all our renovation problems that we have experienced, seeing similar problems with yours - I just guess it happens to everyone! Your work is still quality work and be happy for that. I also agree with the other comments regarding how you both handle the frustrations - no yelling, no fighting, no pointing fingers - you don't know how refreshing it is. Keep up the wonderful work and the great videos. You have showed us how it is done!
Spencer is so clever. He just fixes everything. A little too hard on himself when he makes a mistake though. You must be so proud of yourselves. Can't wait to see what's next after drywall. 😊😊😊❤
Usually you place the bottom of your toilet into a large plastic bag and then carry it out of the room to avoid toilet water dripping all over.
He will get another chance. The bowl will have to be mounted on top of the final flooring. So it needs to be relocated once again during that process.
I'm a plumber, the sponge is used for drying the inside of the tank. What spilled in the video was the water left in the internal trap in the toilet.
I wish they could do a live so they could get tips like this right away!
I'm not a plumber by trade, but I have replaced several toilets over the years. I use a small dixie cup to dip out as much water from the bowl before moving it.
I put down old towels, and it never hurts to set the wet/dry vac to water mode and get as much as you can out by sticking the hose in the bowl. Oh, and flush a few times first to help clean the system, so the water is cleaner when it spills.
I have a gut feeling you’ll be revisiting the bathroom build in a year or so. Not a builder, but I remember the cement board goes all the way up the wall where you’re going to tile (wet areas hit by the shower). Thought a special drywall (green) is used in areas of high humidity. Prayers for you that I am wrong and all goes well.
Just another episode. Cha Ching
Hallo lovely people , you had a very cold winter , in our country the Netherlands it was 23°C last week and today it was 2°C with snow . Greetings from the Netherlands. We always say " if you do notting you can't do enyting wrong" , So heads up and move on .
I always thought if was "if you aren't Dutch, You aren't much". Thankfully, I'm Dutch. Family is from Rotterdam and Katwijk. Cousin in Alphen an Den Rijn
@@adubbelde1 Greetings !!!!
Also greetings from the Netherlands, Arnhem
I would love nothing more than to live in the Netherlands. Beautiful country and beautiful people.
@@bertoverweel6588 Greetings to you as well
Hooray!!! So excited to see you finally finish installing the drywall. It was such an incredible challenge you two handled so beautifully. I've been watching you on this project for so long, I suggest you get a temporary postal box in town so people like myself can send you a housewarming present when you are done...:)
Beau is so cute trying to help Daddy. I heard her say "I did it" when Spencer was talking about the bathroom not being sound proof yet because the wall isn't finished.
I feel for Spencer when he’s put so much hard work in something and it doesn’t work out. Just wanted you both to know you’re doing amazing and love seeing the progress!!
Plugging away with smiles and laughter. You’re an awesome family getting through the last 3 years. Exactly why I can’t wait for each video. Bless you all.
Love your little helper...always wanting to help Dad or Mom with construction...
you're building more than just your home. you're strengthening your relationship and characters too. You're such great role models. Thank you! I'm quite excited for your finished home tour. I know I'm gonna be crying for joy like I already am with your 'small victories'. Keep going! ❤️❤️❤️
Just simply love watching this beautiful house come together, great job guys.
I was doing something and then immediately stopped so I could watch this video that released 19 seconds ago
Haha didn't even read the title and that's what I did 😆
First off, your work is impeccable. Just need more knowledge and experience. Old timers differ only Bc of that plus while they expect perfection, they also expect mistakes along the way.
Old timers strive for perfection but have enough experience to correct and hide most easy mistakes why...because they made mistakes along the way or had to correct others mistakes in the past
You know when the house is complete, everyone is going to ask if you would use containers if you did it again.
I don’t get it...
@@sheikgold Considering all the problems they may think a stick built would be easier.
Every problem they have encountered has been an opportunity to grow and learn! I really don’t expect them to say no!
@@oldmanjimh3165 oh okay lol “if they were to do it all over would they still choose containers” basically.
@@sheikgold i'm wishing they would build a huge garage and workshop when the house is done then move on to a miniature container clubhouse for the kids , just don't want them to end.
How can you stay mad for long with such a cute, gigglie wife who finds humor just when it is needed. You guys are so great.
So happy you'll have a shower! The shower situation looked rough prior to the build!
Tip for moving/replacing toilets....use a little red wagon.
Yes, wagons and wheelbarrows work good when moving toilets!
Also grab a trash bag to slide under the unit and "bag" the toilet, catches all the drips 👍
Use a wet vac to remove all water. Why he removed the tank is beyond me...
@@dougmilley2480 Lighter and less bulky I would think 😁 js
The house looks awesome! Beau is so beautiful and getting so big 💖
How many houses have you built so far now Spencer? Oh, that's right, none. Your doing one hell of a job Spencer.
You guys are building a greater relationship; you enhance each other through the trivial day to day experiences. Don't let the little things get you down and the little gap in the drywall is a little thing. I agree, watching you guys work through this project is good for us during the inconvenient down time. Thanks for the video.
You have so many people cheering you on. My favourite TH-cam channel.
Come on now, this will be heavenly compared to showering outside in the makeshift shower.
Less snakes
...and freezing wind blowing through your make-shift shower!🥶
Some helpful tips for you:
Get a collared screw gun for your drywall work. WAY faster.
Two, don’t Frankenstein your substrate. Go cbu (cement board) all over where there’s tile. There’s multiple reasons NOT to use gypsum board unless you’re coating a topical all over.
If you use a topical then be sure to use anti-fracture membrane where there’s seems ans change of plane (wall to wall or wall to floor)
Schluter system doesn’t use vinyl pans and if you don’t wanna use their pan and curb system to save money, protect a plywood substrate w poly or roofing paper, tack down hardware cloth, pack one pan (as opposed to pre slope + pan w vinyl) and beer and around a schluter bonded flange drain and then waterproof the hell out of it using the anti fracture membrane.
Three: nail plates dude.
Four: carry your toilet from disconnect to shower drain or put a trash bag underneath to catch the water from the p trap.
Watch Sal Diblasi on TH-cam. He’s the most trustworthy teacher out there. Or hmu w questions anytime.
It is a must to cement board all the way up, and then use red guard
@@woody9052 it’s one way
My walk will have to wait....Awww, Daddy's lil helper!! Beau is so cute and getting so big!! The outside shots of your house are spectacular! It is soo beautiful!! 👏👏👏👏 Kensey's laugh is so contagious, just makes me laugh too!😂😂 Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
Good job on the bathroom you guys! And congratulations with finally having your whole house drywalled! It looks amazing!
Congrats on finishing the drywall, it’s been a massive and intricate process. Next time you need to move the toilet, place it in a large garbage bag to catch any spills. All the house reno type shows do that lol
Excellent work with the toilet Spencer, you're a regular commode commando! I've been following your channel for a few years now. You two are an inspiration!
I've been with these people I consider family I get to watch build not just a shipping container home, but a family, hands on knowledge of everything that makes a house liviable/loveable, while loving and supporting each other through it all. 🥰
Where I live the whole bathroom would have to be done in green board!! Pensacola
I think you both deserve two weeks in the Caribbean when you a close to finished , you have just worked so hard.
I'm amazed at how all the cut dry wall just fits perfectly like puzzle pieces! Really good job guys!!!
Love the channel, love what you guys have done. As a bit of a DIY guy myself I installed a 4 head unit ductless mini split system in my house, I am anticipating some adjustments to what you just covered with dry wall. Most of the units I worked with have about 18” of factory piping on the back that get flexed out and actually protrude through a channel through the wall and the refrigerant lines will actually connect outside of the house. Your units could be different but I look forward to seeing your install.
YOU ARE A REAL MAN GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE IT IS AN ABSOULUTE PLEASURE TO WATCH YOU BOTH AND BABY.GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!💋❤❤❤👑👑👑🌹🌹🌹👏👏
Spenser looks worn out. You guys are troopers. Spring weather will give you a new boost of energy!
I hope y'all hire out the taping and skim coating, get a pro in there for $600.00 cash
They would mud tape and skim a whole house $600.00.Even if you supply all supplies that's low it seems.
@@cynthiacrawford1573 I doubt it.
@@cynthiacrawford1573 side job , magic word is Cash
@@cynthiacrawford1573 it's also a relatively small job
@@mariowickel456 an entire house is a small job?May be if they have special tools that make it really fast.
It's all coming together now ! have been watching since you put up your border fence ! So cool to support you guys in a small way!
I can wait for the mudding and the painting !! The anticipation for the kitchen is real!
I love that you guys show the mistakes along with the finished product and how you fixed it. It’s shows that you’re not trying to be perfect and just being real.
Glad you didn't let this build interfere with starting your family. Who knows, number 3 might be on the way by the time this project is completed.
Omgosh I’m getting excited for you, you really can see light at the end of the tunnel!!
Oh yes, only three months of mudding, taping and sanding left now. 🤣
Oh I wish they’d pay someone to do it!!!
@@laurieg2436 Right?! I really hope they do!
Love how the house is coming together. Spencer could give most builders a run for their money, hoping everything is going well with the pregnancy too. . Plus can beau be any more adorable 😍 so cute standing on daddy's foot to see what's going on.
Keep up the good work, glad to see how much fun your having as a solid family while working so hard, cant wait to see the finished product!
You’re getting there! DIY is so much slower than contractor-built, but so much more satisfying.
My, but the baby is sprouting...not too long until she has a sibling.
Great TH-cam channel you guys!
You guys are the few remaining couples in the world that can say after 50 years, that you built a house from the ground. Much respect.
I LOVE how Beau is always trying to help!!!! Spencer, we’ve all been there.....
You guys are so sweet, Spencer, don't get down on yourself, you have been doing an amazing job!!!! Doing this all by yourselves would impress anyone. My Father was a carpenter and was amazing at anything. If he was still alive, he would be so proud of your hard work. Way to go Spencer, you are the man!!!
That was a very sweet thing to say, I’m 59 and I was just thinking the other day how well my gramps and Spencer would have gotten along.
@@frankieelder3210 Hi Frankie, I bet Spencer would get along with anyone, he seems so laid back and a hard worker.

I am so relieved they finally have all the drywall done! Way to go, guys!
