I love the toy check out system! We had a toy room play area with a 7 Day Bin system. We had free play items always available (costumes, blocks/building, kitchen set, work bench, crafts) and then bins labeled with each day of the week. It worked great....they were not overwhelmed when it came time for clean up.
I love how you have made your home kid friendly. The industrial, contemporary rustic look is well blended in your home. Your coat and backpack space for each child says you are important and here is your entry/exit space, perfect. The shower curtain around the main bathroom looks nice and is functional, Smart fix! The eleven foot island is perfect for all the kids and a respite child to gather around for meals or even a family meeting. Texas has much to offer families. Do your due diligence. The property taxes and sales taxes are horrendous, they offset the lack of income taxes. The Dallas area is seeing a 50% increase in property taxes, ouch!
Thank you Kenyon! Nebraska taxes are some of the worst in the country, especially in the area we live in. In Texas we will get the Ag exemption which helps! Man, poor Dallas!
I love how creative ya'll are! Have you done a house tour video in your Texas house yet? If not you definitely should! It's a beautiful property with so much potential for family farm life😍
It will be awesome when that next bathroom is done!Your husband is very talented. I enjoyed seeing this thanks for sharing! Your whole family is so talented.
Thanks for the house tour. 1. I think you should keep the stairs woods, especially if you’re going to rent it out. Much easier to keep clean that way. 2. Get rid of that 2nd dryer and put it in the garage. Then hang some lines so you can air dry your clothes.
Yes, it would definitely be easier to clean with wood stairs, good thinking! Ah, I remember when my mom used to air dry our clothes when I was a kid. I may have to give that a try to get used to a more self sufficient lifestyle!
I air dry my clothes as much as possible. I really missed living in this building that had a sink where the water from the washer would empty into. I’d use that water to mop the floors at least every weekend. But I’d wash them a few times per week. My house always smelled like spring time! 🦋 🌺 🦢🌸 🐦 🌸 I love the wood wall, by the way. Very pretty. By the way, have you looked into building Earthship house? I know just renovating what’s on the property seems attractive but it might be a good alternative to look into.
Why not get rid of the kennel for the dogs and let them roam free ? I’m not trying to tell you what to do but I always hate to see dogs in kennels just my personal opinion no judgment at all just a suggestion to free up room and put your bed paint first and then you can have access to both sides of the bed and then put the dogs new bed on the back wall in the corner so your not bombarded by seeing dog kennel! I’m sure you deserve a beautiful bedroom to retreat to taking care of all the kids and that should be your sanctuary! Oh and for gosh sakes take the printer out of your bedroom for your sanity and put in the laundry room or in the son’s room with his own room like in the closet! You have a wonderful home and family I’m just trying to look out for you because I know us as parents always think of ourselves last but you need your best self to continue what good your doing!!!❤
Years ago my grandma had a pulley in her kitchen similar to the one you have with plants, she dried washing on rainy days on it. ( I'm 69) I love the recess with the plant.
You should keep the extra dryer as a back up incase something happens with the one you're using now. I have a back up one because I got a good deal on a set but only needed the washer. My dryer is about 15 years old and still going strong.
@@valcomments3045 I grew up in a neighborhood with a high number of police and fireman. My husband calls me the Fire Marshall when I get extreme about dryer vent cleaning or concerned about delivery boxes blocking a window exit. I’m so glad they moved. Off to see that property.
I love how realistic your video is! Other videos I’ve watched are just so fake. I live in the suburbs of Portland Oregon, it’s very expensive to live here so me and my family live in one big house together. All together it’s 13 people here. I really think families doing this is going to be the new norm with how expensive housing has become. I’m a teacher, unless I move to a ghetto trash area it would be difficult for me to get by on my own.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! Yes, I think living together can definitely have benefits. Everything is SO expensive. It's nice to have such a supportive family!
If you come to Texas be sure to bring shorts and a t-shirt and jeans and a hoodie and possibly a coat because ya never know when you may need each of those, unless it's summer than you won't need your coat or hoodie.
Thank you Sara!! When we look at it we see all the work that is left, but Shaun really has done an amazing amount of work in such a short time and I am so grateful for his talents. ❤
Your house is super nice and huge! if you ever sell it, you'll definitely make more than you spend on it. We have a house in Kansas and it's pretty small and cozy. We didn't want a big house because it's a lot of work to clean but at least you have lot of helpers ♥ We were going to move to Texas because it's where I am from. It is just hard to when Kansas has affordable housing. If you ever come to Kansas, check out the small towns. especially if you and your family like living somewhere with a lot of greenery. lots to do! My favorite ones are in Ottawa and Bonner Springs. One thing I love about Kansas is the grass doesn't turn brown as Texas does =/ Well, I rambled on. Have a great weekend.
Hi Valerie! I believe you have to have two ways out for it to be considered a "true" bedroom. In the basement we have one bedroom and then two non-conforming rooms. We had talked about adding the egress in all rooms, just hadn't got to that point yet.
For the two non conforming rooms consider keeping a wool blanket for each child; fire proof/resistant clothes in a space bag under their beds; and (2) 2 liter bottles of water. Next, work with them doing a fire drill. Hear fire alarm (use phone with alarm sound for practice), roll out of bed, test door knob safety, if not hot precede outside. If hot or open door shows flames blocking the door; return to room put on fire resistant clothes, pour water on wool blankets, put blankets over their heads and breathe thru wool or cotton. Breathing Masks would be better if you can afford. Sounds expensive, but throw your needs out into the universe, pray, keep an eye out, it will come to you. You should time the kids and get them to beat their own times. The process should become second nature to them so in an emergency they “just do it.” Also keep a walkie talkie or cellphone in there room for emergency communication. Practice using walkie talkie. Consider small kitchen sized fire extinguishers in their room also with training. For practice, you can ask businesses or freecycle or church members for expired tanks. You can have a small fire outside and they can practice putting out the fire. It’s easy but you can pinch yourself so practice yourself first to be able to show them. I used the 4 available fire extinguishers at the nursing home. It did NOT put out the fire but it held the fire back, saving dozens of Veterans in the nursing home from burns, smoke inhalation and death. I sound over protective, but I was first responder as a RN in a nursing home fire 🔥. I promise you will not regret time spent doing this. My training stopped a disaster. Because of the practice and training, I was able to act automatically and quickly when it happened. I am not a hero, just well trained to act automatically. ~ Lisa Bissett, Retired RN
@TheConnleyClan We only have 6 kids, but I noticed a huge positive shift in our home when the kids broke the TV. No judgement. You do what works for your family. Just throwing it out there because it was so freeing for us.
We have 6 kids and ONE 85” tv. Kids when all last at home were 18, 17, 16, 16, 15, 14. Tv was intentionally watched as a family. Adopted kids, mine anyways, have trauma. Tv overstimulates. Games, cards, reading, music worked better for us.
Sounds like u have too many projects started and not any finished.like u should have dbl sinks for space.etc but otherwise looks nice but too many projects for one person to handle
Theres no big comfy area for the family to gather together and watch movies or play games. Family room has table and living room small and not enough seats
I think it's all about perspective. We would do family movies all the time. The kids would grab their stuffed animal sleeping bags, all cozy up together on the floor or couch, and we would have an amazing time together. Although, it doesn't matter, we don't live in that house anymore.
He is definitely a super sensory kid and not our first. 😊 I actually didn't walk out of the room right away, but I made a cut there in the video footage after tending to the "super sensory kid". 😂
I had to put my doggy boxes in the laundry room.. I wake up very easy so them moving and shifting around at night would wake me every time . They seem to be more relaxed there also . BUT I have a BIG laundry room plenty of room for their boxes. I have to put them there at night or they try to get in the bed with me lol. I wouldn't mind if I wasn't a light sleeper lol.. Hope that your day and weekend is VERY BLESSED!
We actually have moved ours to the Laundry Room also. We are definitely getting better sleep! Thank you! Hope you day and weekend is also very blessed! ❤

Painting all the kids rooms gray and letting them pick an accent color is an amazing idea 💡

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
It will be awesome when that next bathroom is done!Your husband is very talented. I enjoyed seeing this thanks for sharing! Your whole family is so talented.

That's a good idea! Isn't it amazing what will last a long time and what won't. 15 years is pretty awesome!
@@TheConnleyClan Yes, it is pretty awesome. It’s mate, the washer went a year ago and that was because my son over stuffed it and burnt it out.
@@angieburns6241 oh no! Sounds like something mine would do too.
Since it’s still in progress encourage you to put a second exit on 2 of the basement bedrooms if there is not one already.
Actually, we just sold the house and moved to 20 acres in Texas! ruclips.net/video/bQbcsntYawo/видео.html
Yeah had so much anxiety watching those rooms that didn't have exits.

We actually used to live in Kansas. Parkville, Overland Park, and Prarie Village. We used to move a lot. My favorite was probably Parkville. ❤️
@@TheConnleyClan I'm familiar with overland park, it's big city life. Too bad you don't anymore. Been nice to have another friend 😊
Love your house, it’s super cool
Thank you! ❤
All wood for stairs is easlier to broom than vacuum depending on your cleaner
Yes, so true! Thanks Wanda!
I love your entry way, but I couldn't cope with those steps.
Thank you! Yes, the steps definitely aren't for everyone.
New sub from Texas!❤❤🙏🙏xxoo

Deine Küche ist wunderschön
Thank you! ❤️
I wonder where the the kids do their home work for school. I did not see the desks for that. Perhaps they all prefer to do it in the family room.😊
Usually the dinning table, at the 11' island, or in the Living Room. 😊
And u should really get beddys for their beds so much easisr to make for beds just zip it up and go
Yes! I need to get these!
I'm from Iowa but I thought you had to have windows big enough for a firefighter to enter in each bedroom.

2 Timothy 2:15
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
How can you have bedrooms in the basement without egress windows?
They are considered non-conforming rooms. There is an egress window, just not in each room.
It's a beautifull house, the dogs are for outside personally my choice...
May i ask why the kids all have tv's in their bedrooms?
So they can watch TV and not argue who gets to pick 🤣

With that many people you def need another dryer
We should hook up the second dryer. Our kids have laundry days and so far we have been able to get away with one!
i love lily
Wait do you have two lilys?
😊 Yes
Lol😂the baby hit his chin and she said “you’re a super sensory kid “ and walked out the room was too funny
He is definitely a super sensory kid and not our first. 😊 I actually didn't walk out of the room right away, but I made a cut there in the video footage after tending to the "super sensory kid". 😂

I dont like to see dogs kept in crates.....
I believe it is what works best for each family. Right now our dogs are no longer in crates.
