    Have your contractor put soundproofing insulation in that wall so when your guests come and go in the stairwell it won’t disturb you guys.

    You might consider making a deal with some interesting Omaha places like the candy store and have some of their candy for your guests / advertises their business and yours. I saw that on the Netflix series with Genevieve from trading spaces that helps air bnbs up their game...( that’s a great series to watch to get ideas, btw!)

    Thank you for taking us along. You and Niem are making so much progress! Its so important to build relationships with trustworthy companies and trades people as you are doing. You will be giving them repeat business. The comment I loved from this video was when you met up with Neiman and he turned the camera on himself and said " These places blow my mind...they are filled with so much crap. Where to put all this stuff (or something like that)". He just said what I was thinking. Keep up the good work!

    Really having a writing desk in the common area would be a great idea. You could sell postcards and people could write a short postcard when they’re traveling and have a mail drop right there that goes out every day. Something extra to offer your guess And make money on the postcards.

    Y'all are making great progress. I know with all the things you are doing everyday, that you're exhausted at the end of the day. The drywall is going to look great and I can't wait to see what colors you're going to use. I've never seen so much stuff in one store. The bad part about that is, you can never see everything in one visit. Keep up the great work and I'll be watching to see all the things you do. Thanks for another great video !!

Now that you have had to rip down wood paneling you will understand how ridiculous it is that paneled walls are working their way back into style. No! Poison! FYI….don’t mess around with gutters and roofing. If it needs to be done--do it! Love, love this series! Can’t wait for the next episode

    Lauren, the little side table is “ cute” but appears to be too small & too short for use as a bathroom vanity. Where will your guests set their toiletries? You plan to use a claw foot tub which is vintage style and then you are putting in a bowl on top of a table which is very trendy and on it’s way out. Consider an Old-fashioned square or rectangular porcelain sink that hangs on the wall that is in keeping with the vintage tub. Love your videos! Love including your mom!

    I always kept a small spiral note pad in my purse with area space measurements and carry a small tape measure in as well. That way you know if it's too wide or too deep for the intended space.

      Canned lights in the ceiling are not a trend, they've been around since the 1960's. Thanks fully now they are smaller and with LED's they last longer and they don't generate heat the way the older, larger bulbs did. They are great used with dimmers at the switch to add directed lighting to the areas you want to feature.
