I love the progression from “no clue”, to “construction cosplay” to “serious experienced construction worker”. Such an enormous undertaking!
And Jenna looks stronger now after a year of construction work! 💪
I also love how my blood pressure progressively lowers as I watch the video. They got so good at this!
I love the clothing transformation from civilians clothing, to real work clothes.
Sneakers to work boots.
@@cjpietropinto9293 I have no idea why we didn't just bought work clothes in the beginning 😂
I forgot how traumatic it was to watch the early days of this project while eating my lunch 🤣🤣
SSSSAAAAMMMMME 😂🤢
ANTS ANTS ANTS ANTS ANTS ANTS
I watch on my lunch break too!! lol
Sameeee!
ikr
I had totally forgotten the ants, the moss roof, and the peanuts! You've come SUCH long way!! AMAZING!!!!!
I will never be able to unsee those ants. Eeeeek
@@myriammoquin2684 or the petrified rat in the former kitchen. RIP.
I came to make an ant comment too🤣
A year ago a video poped up when I opened youtube, it was titled "i bought an abandoned home" and I watched it on the day it was uploaded. I watched every single one of them since then and was never disapointed.
After a year of Jenna cherring up "Go Nicky, Go NICKY!", fun facts with Nick and Jenna falling through the floor, I congratulate you, it's been a fun ride and can't wait for the next video... Roof coming soon!
From (almost) the other side of the country, Thank You for sharing this journey!
Seconded, from the other side of the planet... where videos greet me every Thursday morning
Same here. I was lucky enough to have started watching these since, literally, day one.
Joining the group. I've been watching from day 1. Glad I stuck around.
Thank you so much ☺
so glad to know im not alone. 😊 I am really excited everytime jenna and nicky uploads. For me all this progress is exciting to see. Like its my house too hehe
This is basically a compilation of Nick saying "Woaaaaahw". And I'm here for it
And the, "Oooooooooo," at 26:28 and 36:51.
Go Nicky! Go Nicky!
@@bfsgmanyeah that’s what I was going to say. 😅
I can’t be the only one whos bothered to live with that cliff hanger for another week 😂😭
I think in their Instagram update, they figured it out, and the roof getting installed, but looking like they finally got snow.
The amount you have accomplished in a year with everything, the surprises, the setbacks, the delays, the bare minimum crew (who are all AMAZING) is truly spectacular. It’s been such a delight to follow you this far and I cannot wait to see how much you accomplish in the years to come. Congratulations Jenna! Congratulations Nicky! thank you so much for bringing us along your adventure to rebuild this home!
Very Hard Working Couple ❤
U guys r just amazing I've watch u from the beginning and I'm just amazed u guys should b so proud of yourselves can't wait for the rest ❤❤❤❤
Go Jenna! Go Nicky!
Ok! I'm going to use this as motivation tomorrow to clean my living room!🤣
The fact that you guys have been able to completely gut the house to the studs and then have the whole house framed in 52 weeks is incredible. Your videos on this are my favorite part of waking up on Wednesdays! Keep it up you guys!
Came for the crocheting, stayed for the renos! Go Jenna!!
I grew up in an age of scheduled tv. I was never this loyal to a show, as i am to your renovation.
I CANT BELIEVE ITS BEEN A YEAR!! Congratulations on making it a year, team. ❤
Me too. We watched for 1 yr. What will they get done in the next 3 months?
You’ve come such a long way, from sweatpants & sneakers to Carhart & work boots!😅 Great job!
I thought this too. 😂💪🏽
and from a hammer to a nail gun!!!
I still can't believe how much stuff they left behind! The photos make it seem like the house was loved once upon a time. Glad it has a new life with you and Nick now!
that's exactly what i was thinking, like, if i was them i would try to contact the owners or perhaps the descendents of the owners and give them those pictures back, i just can't believe someone would abandon their photos like this. Like, many of these things are pieces of history
My favorite Jenna quote: "I laughed so hard I farted." You guys are awesome and I love to watch you work so hard on your dream.
The abrupt CLIFFHANGER ENDING always leaves me doing a 🙂↔️ DOUBLE•TAKE with my MOUTH OPEN 😮
5 minutes in, and I hear "No more ants?"
And I laughed. And laughed and laughed and laughed.
Then I laughed some more.
Little did we know!!!
@@JennaPhipps when it comes time to seal/insulate the walls, pour in some borax and you wont ever have insects in the structure!
Jenna and Nick: Role models for relationships and not letting the setbacks stop you! Here's to the next year!
i'm not surprised that you were sooo freaked out in the beginning. the fact that the only usable part of the house was the fireplace was quite overwhelming, to be sure. but Congratulations. You have done an awesome job. This will be soooo rewarding to live in, knowing that you basically built it from the ground up.
I understand that this may not mean much from someone you don't know BUT, I am so Incredibly PROUD of you Both!! Your tenacity and positivity through all of this is just Amazing!!!
Thanks for the memories! I've watched you since the beginning and you have accomplished SO MUCH in one year! The garbage, the rot, the ants, the critters, the rain and cold... you have come such a long way and have (mostly) kept your sanity and sense of humour. I just love watching your progress and am always here to cheer you on. What a team, Jenna and Nick!! ♥♥
17:31 being back in the “removing the roof” era feels like a fever dream
Oh my. I forgot how bad it all was!! You two have worked SO hard and accomplished so much! My back hurts just watching!
To see how your clothes and equipment evolved during this year is very interesting. Becoming more and mor professional as the work on your house proceeds. Everything is getting better and better and better! 🎉🎉🎉
Look how far you’ve come. Deconstructions and reconstruction with love and care. This house won’t be just a house. This will be a home that Jenna and Nick built.
You, Nicki and the house became my favorite content to watch in the last year. I didn’t know you before and saw you on tiktok. I love your inspiring personalities and how lovely you are together. Every wednesday evening (I’m in Germany) I wait for your video and happily watch it 🫶🏻
I've been watching this since the very beginning and now that I see it in this culmination I just cannot believe how strong you people are. I would have screamed and run myself into bankruptcy before I would have done this project.😊
Go Jenna! Go Nicky!
While I have missed your yarn things and DIYs I been with you all the way!
Can’t wait to watch the roof go on! And getting so close to the fun parts! Tile, paint, all the coatings! It’s going to be a great year!!
“There’s no place like home”
This is one big diy project and i love it so much 🎉
I love the transition to work clothes and boots instead of sweats and sneakers.
Since I’ve been watching a year plus now , we decided to do a lil remodeling our home . Our home is 60 years old . We tore out our sliding glass door and put in a regular door , new flooring , and now we are doing our kitchen ! Just my partner and I .
Well done 🎉😊
That's awesome! You will love your home even more now i think 😊
I might add we are in our late 50’s lol 😂
No one will deserve to enjoy your finished home more than the two of you. I can’t wait to see it finished.
These videos are what I look forward to every Wednesday - for a whole year!!! I never expected this project to get so big or go so well (in the end) LOL. Can’t wait to see what the next year brings.
It’s actually insane how much work you’ve gotten done in just a year!
the amount of time and money invested in this renovation is totally worth it!!!!
Y'all have single handedly made Wednesdays my favorite day of the week. Every Wednesday, I wake up and see a new video and just get so excited. I also remember when Nick used to be camera shy, and now he isn't at all! I also love seeing the relationship growth in every video. I love y'all. ❤
What you two have done with your hands in a year is incredible!!! GO NICKY! GO JENNA!
Wow. Seeing it all at once really drives home how much you’ve both accomplished in a year. Thank you for renovating this sad old girl and giving her the love she needed for so long. She’s gonna be a stunner when you’re done and you’ll be bursting with pride every time you open the front door. Go Nicky! Go Jenna! ❤️💪
I haven’t missed an episode. I look forward to them every week! This recap is just so good! Your talents are never ending. Thank you so much for sharing everything. What a legacy you are creating.😀
The “they’re in my pants!” quote is my fav.
You two are sooo freaking cute! Not to mention dedicated hard workers, positive minded co-workers, talented editors, smart diyers and just plain my favourite peple to watch on RUclips! I’m thrilled with all that you’re accomplishing together and how through all this your also are building a solid relationship together..all the best to you both! You deserve a beautiful home to share together! 🤗 ps keep up the good work, I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines!!
Man, you guys should be SO proud. What you’ve done is a Herculean accomplishment. My back hurts for both of you. Seriously, congratulations. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Can’t wait to watch the next phase.
We demand a supercut of Nicky fun facts!
YEAHHHHHHHH❤❤❤❤❤❤
and a 'Woooooooow' montage
You guys have changed my life, no joke! I found myself the other day, going in my 120 year old home's basement, and looking at the hangers, and the blocking and asking my boyfriend construction questions! lolol you guys have opened my eyes to a whole new world! :P I carry Nick's fun facts with me too! I also look super forward to your weekly video, a highlight in some drabby work week! Anywho, much love from New-Brunswick! xxo
I remember the first time I saw one of your TikToks. I didn't know anything about you, just that you bought a house and I was so so anxious for you because I thought you were just one of those people who overestimated themselves. But one year down, I enjoyed every video you made, all the progress you made. I learned so much from you. That you can make mistakes, that those mistakes don't need to be devastating. Last year, around March, I felt like I needed to change something. And I tried to change something in my own life. Now I am working in a literal dream job, I am so close to finishing my masters and I feel like I have really grown over this year. And your videos were such a comfort to me, too. Thank you very much for all the insights into your renovation! I wish you both the very best. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, Kathi :)
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. This project has been the epitome of that metaphor. Found you via TikTok originally and enjoyed watching the process here even more!
Love this Timelapse puts everything in perspective. Congratulations on your one year anniversary of homeownership 🎉
Oh my word, it’s astonishing 1) how quickly that year has gone and 2) how much you have both achieved. What an incredible moment! Can’t wait for the next year! 🎉❤️🎉
Aaaa i can't believe I've been with you guys from the beginning and it's been 1 whole year. Love your videos ❤️
Thank you for the trip down memory lane! What a year its been, I’ve loved every minute of it. Here’s to the next one 🫶👌🙌❤
Now your construction is nearly complete you should plan a topping out party! When the building is complete you hold a party/ceremony when the highest point gets placed, you can invite your new neighbours and family and friends so you can celebrate the milestone and show them all your hard work!
I have been here since day one. I've been pregnant and now have a 5 month old. As a stay at home mom thank you for my "me time" I get when I watch your videos!!! Love you guys!!!
I love that you saved this house so much. ❤
It’s crazy how she was the one who got me into thrifting, crocheting, and sewing and now makes me want to renovate a house 😭
been watching when you were majority crochet and knitting, was so confused when it changed to house building but stayed for the vibes since then. was always exciting to see your progress!
I love seeing how kind you’ve remained with each other ❤
While I know why you guys call it Peanut House, I can’t believe you didn’t decide to call it The Ant Hill! Maybe Peanut House on Ant Hill? CONGRATS on a whole year! We’re here with you for the long haul!!
I have been obsessed with seeing your guys’ journey with this house. When I was 7, my parents moved us into an old house (like 1800s old) that was massive and I thought they were CRAZY! It wasn’t abandoned but the old lady that lived in the house (7 massive bedroom house) before us, was a little wacky. So it was infested with every bug you can imagine. I then spent 3 years moving rooms, sharing with my sisters and even parents, for the sake of renovations. My parents found the history of the house after a long time of searching and it was fascinating. I was very young and barely helped but I still miss that house dearly. We couldn’t afford to complete renovations but finally sold the house to people who were willing to finish it up and turn it into a guest house. I wanna cry when I see it, because it really looks like it was restored to its former glory. It is one of my favourite memories of my childhood and I have a deep appreciation for architecture and renovations and restorations now :) these videos take me back to those “good ol days” so thank you for posting!
I can't believe how MUCH you have accomplished!!!good job
I can not believe it’s been a year I’ve been watching these. I remember the orange kitchen, rats, roof buddy sled, your seedlings, the model from the office. It’s been a heck of a ride! I can’t wait to see it finished. That roof was the dickens! Drywall Dave deserves a shoutout! Please tell Bombas folks to keep slinging the socks. Much admiration from western NY.
12:06 is still best comedic cutting. I just love how you stand there with the sunglases and de pump just tries it best.
You two should be so proud of yourself for what you have accomplished
Well here you are a year later. You've come a long way baby!😎 The best is yet to come!
Big round of applause for you all!👏👏👏
You've done good. Very very very good!
The way you see how they dress when they first started demo lol such amateur. You guys really evolved during this journey and being able to see this is amazing. Hopefully we’ll be able to see your happy days in your FINISHED home
As a German viewer surrounded by brick and beton houses it was so much fun watching u guys build with wood. Still wondering about insulation and so many other things ahead that are waiting for u and us as viewers. Been such a joy to watch u. U are so freaking adorable and wholesome it's been the best kind of "let's renovate an abandoned home" video that I have been watching so far even the castle renos can pack their bags u guys are more fun to watch ❤
Yes, also thought that.
Also German over here.
So proud of you two. Every Wednesday is so fun to see what you guys accomplish and all on your own. It's amazing and so fun to watch. Great job you guys.
It’s so easy to forget how far we’ve come! Great life lesson for me. Thank you for sharing!
What a shame the house was neglected to that point. But now you guys are well on your way to building your dream home YOURSELVES!! My goodness. Your parents must be so proud of you wonderful humans.
Thanks for all the efforts on editing the recap. It really shows how much work you’ve put in so far.
Wow. A year already.
Time sure goes really fast. But truly seems sloooowwwww waiting for your next video a week away.
I am in love with you guys.
You are such a delight to follow along. You’re sense of humor and the music in your videos is just On Point and fantastic.
Go Jenna! Go Nicki!!
You’ve inspired me to go room by room and refresh my whole house. I figure if you can rebuild your whole house then I can paint and redecorate. Haha. Awesome job guys!!
I subscribed when you were working on the crocheted dress, I believe - what an adventure it has been to watch all of this unfold!! WILD! My niece based in the army in Edmonton started watching and mentioned you to me last summer and we got all excited that we both follow you, and last week my 19 year-old son asked me if I'd heard of you! You guys are awesome! GO JENNA AND NICK-Y!
Watching the clips from day 1 show just how much you guys have had to deal with. I forgot half of the things, but also can’t believe how far you’ve come and how much you’ve accomplished in 1 year. 👏🏾
This house was no ordinary box framed construction, quite a challenge for two novices.
Great first year accomplishments.
Considering all that you had to do, you two worked miracles! Well done Nick and Jenna!
14:30 taking the trees down was an amazing decision!!
i’m here since the beginning of the series and im so excited every week for a new video
Your channel has become my absolute favorite RUclips channel over the past year. My husband doesn't actually know any of the channels I follow, but he knows that Wednesdays are the days you upload a new video because that's when I always excitedly announce, "I get to watch a new Jenna Phipps video today!"
12:12 I can just imagine Jenna running back and forth to set up the camera to get these different angles😂😆💜💜💜
$45k for a permit??? You are so brave! I can’t wait to see it finished. Good luck 🤞
Your content are my vibe, keep them coming.
Jenna, your editing is top-notch. And your sense of humor is perfection. This video was a really good compilation of the last 12 months!
Can we just say that the fit has gotten better over time!
I love the fact that you've started with "i don't know how to build a wall" to actually building the entire house. What a year guys! Im here since the first reel ❤ greetings from 🇦🇷❤
This vid is gold, keep dropping these bangers.
I watch this with pride of how much you've accomplished in a year, but with some sadnes seeing the remnants from the last one who lived a full life there, their belongings ,clothes and things saved during lifetimes by him and his parents all moldy and scattered but still with beauty.This will be a happy home again and I feel priviledged to follow the journey.
This series has been my comfort during my finals exams during and watching this video reminded of how much time has passed and how much progress you’ve guys made that’s insane! Keep up the good work 🎀🎀🎀🎀
I forgot that I was going to miss that sofa, Seeing it again reminded me. RIP awesome moldy couch.
Thanks for a year of watching you work, I love both of your attitudes towards whatever comes your way. Can’t wait to see the continued progress!
I've been watching from the beginning and I'm amazed how awesome this is turning out. I'm so entertained every Wednesday with you and Nick, I don't even know you yet I'm so proud of you both.
I forgot how much I enjoyed the big band music phase. More big band music, please!
37 MINUTES LET'S GOOOO
Looking forward to another year of awesome Wednesdays with you Jenna, Nicky and comment section friends 🤎🤎🤎🤎
Happy "House~versary!!! I love watching every week. You guys rock!!!
Jenna and Nick! I can’t tell you how much I look forward to watching you both work on your home! I am so proud of you both for ALL the work you have done on your home! It is coming together so nicely! What’s really cool is that your kids will be able to see all your hard work you put into your home! It’s going to be amazing! ❤❤🙏🙏🏠🏠
18:44, I just love how they comment how good the wood looks and two seconds later it’s gone
31:38/39 - Jenna - that is love in Nic's eyes, and it is sooo sweet!
It’s amazing how much you guys have accomplished in a year! This has been so much fun to watch!
This house will be soooo amazing with this view!!! Even though it's a ton of work, it will all be worth it in the end. Loooove watching you videos ❤
Has it been a year already!?! My goodness, you guys have come far! Can't wait to see the next chapters in your new house book!! ♥
You two have done an AMAZING job and be soooooo very proud of yourself thus far! Still a ways to go but with over a MILLION followers, there are so many including me that are impressed, proud and extremely happy for you two! Now finish it, fill it with decor, things and lots of children! You are building an incredible house so you can turn into your dream home filled with many loving memories, laughter and love!!! PLEASE be safe and God bless you two always!!!
2:03 a news article brought this Canadian here and I am SO glad i've had the privilege of being along for the ride. What you 2 (and helpers) have accomplished in ONE YEAR is nothing short of amazing! I can not wait to see what this beautiful space holds for you ❤️🥹🏡
What an amazing amount of work you have accomplished in just 1 year!
