I didn't find your video boring at all! You guys are a lot of fun to watch!
Good to hear!
Watching this felt like being part of the renovation journey! Both of you share your highs and lows as you work on transforming house into a dream home. It's motivating to see your dedication and hard work pay off and I can't wait to follow along with future updates.
Yes! Thank you! Alot of work goes into renovating a home! Thanks so much for following along 😊
I knew it. I knew it! You two could never fail 😂😂🤣
LOL - some times it pays to fail I guess 🤣
Money wisely spent! Eager to see the house evolve.
Thank you!! 🙌 Feels like it all goes in slow motion sometimes, but we’re slowly getting there!
These are the things I'm glad you brought up. It's so important to have a warm home and be energy efficient. You guys are awesome. I love your channel.
Thanks, I agree it is important to deal with some of this stuff first. That way you don't have to redo work after when you have partially finished spaces.
That is awesome for you all. This explains why we haven't seen much of you. Let the fun begin. Lol
I know! We had to do all of the “boring” stuff first 🤣🤣 It’s a whole lot of prep work!
I always finish your vidéo they are great ❤👍
Thank you so much 😀 Glad you enjoy them!
The dad jokes are fire 😂 When Russ said “ hammertime” I spit coffee all over myself laughing.
Hahahahaha! 🤣 He’ll love it 😂 Welcome to my life
Love your videos they are never boring.
Thanks!
nope not boring, always love your house videos
Thanks!
I can relate! A lot of money, time and energy spent on things that are so necessary but not that showy. It’s all worth it and I can’t wait to see where things go from here.🎉
These were some big steps to get taken care of, we are excited to taken some more renos in 2024!
I remember when we first purchased our home, all we could afford was to move some plumbing. I used to take my friends past the orange shag carpet, to the basement to “admire “the new black plumbing pipe🤣
Never boring! All aspects of a build or remodel is interesting. Congratulations on a very energy efficient house!!
Thanks! ☺️
Awesome.... can't wait to see what you do when the beam is up 😊
Me neither!! 😂 Feels like such a slow process, but we’re getting there!
Your upgrades are awesome. Well worth it. Hopefully soon you will feel it in your savings!
Yes! I’m sure it’ll pay off in the long run! Just feels like a long process to get there sometimes 😂
Love all your videos, never a dull moment ❤.
Thanks, we try, lol!
I found this super interesting. I have had a few of these projects done and I swear I wanted to share pictures with friends of my beautiful news ducts and insulation! I may still include on my home tour! Seriously enjoyed content.
Great to hear!
Just making sure a house with ‘good bones’ has really good bones😊
Sometimes you just need to dig in! So far we are lucky no surprises yet 🙂
Great investment projects! Love you guys!
Thanks so much!
We dont own a house but moved from an old building into a very energy efficient . "passive house" as we call it. Its so effecient that the windows need to have automatic vents inside of the frame to avoid mold. I have to say- every room does not take more than 5 minutes to warm up even in the winter even after leaving for a holiday. All the doors etc. have a seel to avoid airflow and heatloss (air condition ist not a thing here in germany ).But the REAL plus for me is not to melt in my homeoffice. If we dont open the windows in the summer all the time, i'm freezing while its 36° Celsius outside. We also pay much less of cause. win-win-win!
Love that!! Definitely worth it for those upgrades sometimes!
I'm am sooo excited to watch your process of remodeling your home!! I'm in awe of your creative genius. Both so talented and I was dying laughing at points. Great team!!! Good luck 👍 😊
Oh good!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰 We’re excited that get working on everything too!
Wow! You guys have come SO far!!!
Thanks, it was a busy 2023!
I loved watching your vlog! It was so cool to see the progress on the new house renovation. The before-and-after shots were especially satisfying to see!
Good to hear! Thank you!
You really had to have a vision to see past that orange exterior. I can’t wait to see what you do with this home.
Don't worry it will get addressed, unfortunately its on the end of the list due to the renos we want to do inside. But don't worry, we have a vision for the end look!
Oh I know you wouldn’t live in an orange house one day longer than you had to. I’m sure it will be sophisticated modern and very cool. I love all of the work you have done in the past. And this house has the bones for post modern direction , so it will be an easy transition. ( not nullifying the blood sweat and tears that it will take)
I just like see the progress.
When you are in the space it seems like it is going so slow, when even I watch the video it seems like we got so much done, we are excited for 2024! Thanks for watching 😊
I wondered where you had been. I stayed through to the very end !
Good to hear!
So glad I found your videos again! I love to watch you two chirping at each other 😂.
Us too!
Very happy information! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
This is interesting, hilarious, AND educational!! I loved it!!!!!
Thanks - we are excited to get through this phase so we can start making the house pretty, lol!
IM SOO EXCITED!! I cant wait!!@@LindiandRuss
Boring… these are the things we need to see and consider!! Like a good foundation. You are so cute and fun! 🤩
Agreed! Thanks! ☺️
Not boring! These parts are important just not “fun” lol
Agreeded
I am all for all the "come-back jokes" 😂 😂 I terrorize my husband with cold hands during winter 😅😳😆. Can't wait to see more vlogs of the new house. Great job you guys! ❤
Thanks, I am pretty sure husband actually like cold feet/hands 🤣 Thanks for watching!
We failed too! Instead of the Federal loan/ grants - we went with a municipal loan ( absolutely zero interest - repayable over 15 years) and the Federal grant portion. It really helps a lot with your reno budget!
There are some great grant programs out there! Nothing beats a interest free loan!
Wise investment, I appreciate the guts of the home being taken care of first especially in a home that I live in. Cosmetic changes can be done overtime. Is it true that some say if you replace outside siding of the home that it lessens drafts coming in making home even more efficient?
Technology has really improved since our home was initially built (1963 ish). I would agree that with new house wrap and updated siding a house would be more efficient. Other things to think about are fire resistance - new siding like hardy board is significantly better compared to old wood siding.
Awesome! 😍
Thanks! 😄
We also did invest in isolation. Roof, walls, floor and windows. We spend arond €25.000,-. But still we pay €275,- a month for our gas and electric bill, because of the taxes we have to pay. It's at least half of the price we pay...😢 here in the Netherlands.
Russ parents were originally from Friesland! Its definitely an investment but hopefully pays off in the long end!
@@LindiandRuss Next project will be solarpannels and a heatpump. We live in a town 20 min from Amsterdam, so everything is pretty expensive over here.
Love it ❤
Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks!
This was an interesting video
Its crazy how much work happens behind the walls of out homes! Thanks for watching :)
It’s not pretty but it’s important . Glad you are toasty warm now.
Agreeded! 😊
I made it thru to the end. 🙂 I love your channel and watch every chance I get! I do have a question. And that is these grants you talk about that you received were they for like a bathroom remodel and windows, and the solar panels? Or did you pay for all those items? I have seen these Grants things popping up in my area also but wasn't sure if the Grant pays for all of it or do you pay for it? And then what does the Grant pay for? I could you use help with a new walk in tub due to medical issues I have. Any info would be greatly appreciated!! 🙂❤️🤣
We used the Canadian Greener Homes Grant, and the British Columbia CleanBC Better Homes. I am not sure they would cover items due to medical issues as they are more designed for energy efficiency.
I love your makeovers and DIYs ...question how did you get the grants for your home... I have an older build that is very drafty 😢.
We’re in Canada, and they have provincial and federal loans right now for energy efficiency. All of the upgrades we did would fall under that category. If you’re in Canada, you should definitely look it up! If you’re not, I would still search government websites cause you never know what’s available!
black windo w frames...do i see a black fassade in the future?
Possibly! You know how much I love black! 😂 But I haven’t made any firm design decisions about the exterior yet
I made it
Thanks for checking it! 😀
