That laughing sesh between you and Romeo over the furniture layout😂😂😂😍😍😍!!!
Knew I'd find this in the comment section 😂
😂😂😂
Hilarious! From "I'm getting hungry" and her facial expression to the 2 of them laughing, cracked me up! Watched it 3, maybe 5 times!!!🤣😂🥰
It was so funny!!
Being handy is such a blessing! My husband and I have owned our house for 4 years and we’ve never had to call anyone out to fix anything. We’ve fixed the water heater, clogged plumbing, the ac, the washer and dryer… The list goes on an on! Google is the best 🤣
Google is a godsend and RUclips is amazing! I'm older so my first few houses were pre-internet. It was all fly by the seat of your pants or wait for the library and/or hardware store to open if you couldn't figure it out. Smaller, locally owned hardware stores were (and still are) the best - they actually knew what they were talking about and gave great advice and instructions. My husband was ZERO help on any of it - he had to ask which way to turn the screwdriver every. single. time. 😂
I’m so envious! We can’t fix anything and since we’re in our mid to late 70s, that’s not going to change.
@@Lucinda_Jackson every time? Man, shows it takes a woman sometimes smh lol
@@artsygal112
Yep! Even the old "Righty tighty, lefty loosey" didn't work with him! Very challenged in the mechanical skills department! Somehow he'd overthink it and start wondering if it was from HIS perspective looking at it or from the perspective of the work, like when you look in a mirror! 🤣
@@Lucinda_Jackson ☺☺☺☺ sweet
Coyotes will come down into your yard and be gone with your puppy before you can save it. Never leave it outside alone!!!
Don’t forget about the coyotes and what happened to Logan Paul the coyotes jumped over the fence and killed his dog in California
I was going to mention this! Coyotes are no joke😮
I live in Southern CA too and never let my little dog out alone, coyotes can jump very high
Don't sell yourself short, you totally fixed that washer, nice job! and saved yourself so much money too. It's so exciting to just learn how sometimes so simple fixing our things can be. I fixed my dryer once and it was just an easy swap of an $8 part. So glad we have the internet to teach us this stuff.
As a LA native here be careful with your doggy even in the backyard because I’ve heard of coyotes getting into backyards during the day 😊 love your home!
Coyotes can jump over high fences, please keep a eye on Kinsley when she is outside
Snakes too could be an issue.
Yes also falling in the pool
Yes, I keep watching this videos and I can’t denied that I have major anxiety seeing kinsley in the backyard. She can very easily fall into the pool. It’s very easy to be distracted by the phone, the filming and even just moving into a new home can make you very exhausted so it’s easy to be out of focus. I wish nothing bad happens to precious Kins
Yes, 2 LA based friends had their dogs eaten by coyotes. There are also bears and mountain lions.
I had to admit Kinslee being under that washing machine was freaking me out 😂😂😂
I'm home recuperating from Achilles surgery and your videos are soooooo refreshing ❤️❤️❤️
I thought it was just me! I was so scared one of the bottles would slip and it would be curtains for Kinsley!
Me too 😱
I admit I was freaking out too🤦
Omg!! I was so nervous watching that, this is how freak accidents happen!!
Held my breath too!
The long winter break is a bummer, but coming back from it is so nice because it’s like a blast of MaCenna content! 😂❤
Agreed😌🙏❤️
Being a pool owner myself, one piece of advice I can give you is to get a pool cover ( preferably one with pool bolts so you can prevent leaves and other debris from getting into the pool). For winter always lower the water to about 3/4 of the pool height. It’s better to winterize it every year for maintenance. Hope this helps!
They live in California, the land of sunshine. I doubt they will want to winterize it. I know people there like to pretend tain is the end of the world lol
@artsygal112 I agree. We live in south carolina and we also don't winterize our pool. Come summertime heat and I think they will be adding water to the pool frequently because of evaporation.
You’re right @artsygal112, it may be location based. We live in the mountains of VA so it’s a must have here. If CA doesn’t get much wind and cold weather, it may be different for them.
However, a pool cover is a must for debris
@@MamaK3622 true, covers are functional in that way too
Please be careful of coyotes - they go after small pets and will figure out a way to get right into your yard.
“Helping Mom, definitely helping” says Kinsley 🐾
As she ADOTABLY shakes herself!
So impressed that you fixed the washer--I have the same one. Word to the wise--keep the door open when not in use (unless you think Kinsley will jump in it) otherwise a musty smell will develop.
Btw, vet here. I’ve treated many animals with mouth ulcers after walking in algae cleaner and cleaning their paws
Be careful, Kingsley could accidentally fall in the pool, and coyotes!! I think you & Romeo will eventually move your bedroom upstairs, you'll want to be next to the baby ❤️ and having Romeo's "office" next to the laundry makes so much sense! Love your new home, it's going to be a blast watching you decorate and build things!!
Totally agree with moving the main bedroom upstairs next to the future nursery and away from the main living area. Brilliant idea, Kelley and others who suggested this.
Yes it would be so convenient for both of their offices to be downstairs and sleep upstairs with baby
I totally AGREE!
For 1. Convenience 2. Privacy ...and 3. SAFETY!
I agree. Upstairs would be so much better for the main bedroom.
Yes, this way they can separate work downstairs and living in the upstairs. The two worlds can collide and it’s not always good.
I enjoy organizing closets! TIP: hang pants on the top hanging section since pants hang shorter than tops. That way there is space on the shelf to put folded items in between the top and bottom hanging sections.
Girl don’t leave us hanging about the space behind your closet wall! I thought for sure you would have poked a hole in the wall an investigated already!
At 10:00, that’s got to be a DANSK mug! I can spot their design anywhere! ( I have the entire set of the pattern that you’re holding, wedding registry, 1977) They are super pricey but as the ONLY dishes that we have used for three meals a day, (and cut steak on) for the past 46 years,they are still in PERFECT condition and fortunately 64 year old me still loves what 18 year old me picked out!🤭
Girl, I'm so in love with your home ❤️ I grew up in Ontario, CA built in the 1920's. I see those small drawers you have, and those are just taking me back to my childhood kitchen. I'm also really hoping to spend much more time with you outside in the spring and summer with your beautiful plants! I'm waiting for the home made lemonade video! Please have momma there for that one lol
32 degree makes the best understuff that keeps you warm, but it is thin and doesn't make you sweat. Costco sells them, but you can get them online and at Kohl's too. Our whole family loves them! Way cheaper than anything at REI too.
One thing my daughter bought that I absolutely LOVE is a keyless entry for our front door! You will never lock yourself out again.
i agree 100% we have the coded/fingerprint/key kind,but i think she has one at the texas cottage
This!
My brother had that problem with his pool. He had to keep the water level lower to keep it from overflowing. You should get a pressure washer to do the outside patio area.
I love your can do attitude!. I'm the same way. I tell people all the time I graduated from RUclips University. 😆 If I can find a tutorial you best believe I'm going to try my best to do it myself. I've learned a ton from your videos too. You are definitely the only RUclipsr I watch as soon as I can though❤️
Ditto!
When you were in Texas I felt you so close : I am in Houston Texas ; now your in LA I feel you so far ; but I see you every video you put! That peps me up ; I am 74 years and I love to see your video / some how they give me the energy I need : in my wheel chair I will get and do some cooking can’t walk but I still can use my hands : thank you for your videos! Keep up the wonderful work; you bought a beautiful home !!!!
You can try pressure washing your bricks
Green is usually a algae bloom. you really need a pool company out to shock it and show you all your specifics to your pool. Your new home is beautiful. ❤ Its always something!
She said the pool guy just hadn't come because it rained and would be once the weather is clear. That's normal. They'll come and treat it and it will be like new. With all the trees and debris, and the pool being down hill they will always have to be weary of algae.
You can treat it yourself too!
@@marydumois4242 what exactly is he doing when it rains? He can't clean it or balance it? 😂 Maybe you should find another pool guy. I bet his rates are higher than you realize. Because I promise you it's not necessary.
@@marydumois4242 yes they can in just a few hours but she also said it had rained for a couple days already before she filmed this. Plus you have to factor in all the other stuff I said too. I doubt it's "NEVER" turned green. You're a know-it-all who has hired help with her pool and doesn't actually know chemistry.
i love your mindset (when i build a house, i should be able to fix a wshing maschine): me do it
When you were tempting Kinsley with a treat, my Piper looked at the screen like “Yes please!!” 🐶 😂
My dog, Growler, ran to his cookie drawer😂
I guess the washer didn't fall on the dog and squash her then, that was stressful to watch
Anyone else hearing MaCenna saying "I do it" lol people who watched the podcast know what I'm talking about ❤️💕
Yep!!
I don’t want to freak you out but…… please don’t leave Kinsley out by herself. Coyotes can jump an 8’ wall/fence. We live in Altadena and it is a huge problem. It looks like you are in a hilly area. Maybe talk to your neighbors and see what they say.
19:39 When Romeo teases you about your laughs I die every time 😆 sweet girl, you are such a good sport. I love your laughs ❤
Are you gonna get all your stuffs in your storage rental and bring everything in your new house?
I guess she's not switching the office and bedroom 🤷♀️
a million years ago when my husband and I had a house with a pool, he would backwash before storms to keep the pool from overflowing. I assume that is still the drill. Your pool guy can show you how to do it on your equipment. Thank you for sharing.
Did you get a home warranty when you purchased the house, If not ask the realtor if it was offered. American Home shield or First American among others offer home warranty that covers pools, appliances, roof leaks and many other options. We just had a dryer go out and the policy covered it all we paid was 75.00. Might find it beneficial to have a warranty that covers pools and pump they covered all parts after the freeze so it only cost 75.00 for a 4500 repair.
I think the difference between building something from scratch and "fixing" things is that when you start from scratch you learn as you go and youknow everything you have done, screw ups and all. When fixing things, you are at the mercy of someone elses "good enough".
Being a pet mom myself. I wanted to give some advice, it’s best to teach any dog the proper command’s ex; come, sit, wait. I remember when there was a big dog outside my house and my little dog knew to wait for me at my door steps because I said “wait “ it actually save his life or else he could’ve gone bit by the big dog Just a thought I’ll share how little commands can help you.
You are so correct! I wish that people would train their KIDS to be around dogs, too. So many kids squeal and run up to dogs with their hands out. I've often thought that those dogs that visit hospitals and the like should also visit schools for regular kid training sessions. This would keep dogs AND kids much safer.
@@rachellee.9389 When I started to read your comment,I thought you were going to say, “I wish people would train their kids to come sit,wait.” 😅😂🤣. Because that’s what I wish!😅😂🤣😵💫😖🤨
@@lauramitchell6725 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk if you seen my comment on the last video. But you have a built-in cutting board just above the silver ware drawer.
I’ve been seeing lots of TikTok videos about Samsung appliances being nightmares 🤦🏼♀️
Hey, you can probably get rid of the lower shelf on the right of your closet and raise the bar to be able to fit dresses and trench coats !
This!
Oh MaCenna!!! On day 3 of owning our very first home, the AC Unit broke!!! Such is the way of things!!!! HAHA Everyone was saying, "Welcome to home ownership!"
Girl! You got this!
Editing to add this HACK: I use a can opener to open those store packages like the one your drill bits were in! It works like a charm!
Am I the only person that thinks it’s weird that the BTS vlogs come out after the main channel episode and not the week leading up to the Sunday?
Ok weird is a bit harsh 😊
Hi. I wish you would put up your vlogs after your renovation videos, because you finish something in your renovation video and then it's undone in your next vlog and we keep going backward and then forward. We see things finished and then, in the next vlog, everything's gone that you did - the work isn't done yet. I enjoy watching you.
I thought it was just me, cause last time I watched they put up the TV!
Awesome MaCenna....girl power rocks! You are killing it. I just laughed so hard when Romeo came in the living room and mocked your laugh, to funny! Such an adorable couple. Will be so excited for news of a baby MaCenna or Romeo.
Love to get the notification that you posted, it brightens my day!! Thank you for all you do to bring us such amazing content! 🥰
A pressure washer will clean the growth of those tiles, far better than risking other chemicals running into your pool.
What’s going on with the cottage??!!! So happy for you, but are we ever gonna get the finished kitchen/ living i room
I didn't want this vlog to end! (So I watched it again!) Love your new home!
I do love that you fix the washer. I am always one that tries to find the problem and fix it, like my dad did. He is proud of his daughter for tackling and fixing things. I fix toilets also.
I’m the fixer in our family, google it, fix it, that’s me. It started in second grade, my mom’s wind up clock stopped working, I took it apart and saw the problem and fixed it. I’m the problem solver. I’m retired Air Force, while in the military I worked on my car, saving money ❤️
I don’t want to be a Debbie downer, but don’t let Kinslie out by the pool unless one of you is watching her.
Coyotes, will jump high fences, I’ve seen it for myself! Plus Hawks can see for miles looking for prey, she should not let that lil dog out on its own!!!
The same thing happened with my washer. I called the maintenance guy as it was still under warranty. I watched what he did. He took off the clamp on the tube and inside was the letter ‘A’ patch from one of the hockey jerseys I wash. ( son was in hockey and I washed the jerseys) It happened again, and I fixed it. I was so proud! I eventually bought a top loader and nothing gets stuck, ever.
Love, love your house. Looking forward to more decorating as that’s my jam. 😂😊😊
That same thing happened to our washer my husband and I bought the pump on Amazon for $27. We went straight to the university of RUclips and fix it. Save us hundreds of dollars in our pocket.
I learned in school that, that quote: ‚Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou…‘ does not mean ‚where are you?‘ It means ‚why are you Romeo?‘ Because he is from the rival house and Juliet is in love with him and it’s not allowed. She wishes he had another family. :/
You need to teach Kingsley how to swim and accidentally falls him. She needs to know how to get out at steps.
100% we totally plan to once it get warmer
@@xomacennavlogs or you can get a pool cover that is safe for dogs 😊 i dont know how estetic they are. But at least they are safe.
IMPORTANT…You need to show her the way out of the pool, maybe with a special bucket/planter with floaty toys.
There are pet pool ramps you can buy, they're not that expensive
I love that you call it "the snow" like "the beach" 🥰
I hope u cleaned those closets before putting your stuff in em because otherwise ew
You need an overflow valve put on your pool it drains itself when it fills to a certain height
Can opener works opening those impossible plastic packaging.
You are my favorite person to watch I love everything about your videos!! How do you not have your own show on HGTV??? Thanks for the entertainment!
girl if you don't stop with that long hair down next to that spinning drill!! Also I could only think of that washing machine falling and squishing Kinsley, you nearly gave me a heart attack this vid!
😂😂 So validating to hear someone else use that song that way... cause "Story of my life..." 😆 You're so relatable, encouraging and down to earth!
MaCenna save that part. I no longer will have front loaders because I spent more in replacing parts in front loaders then I care to explain. I now have Amana agitator top loader and regular dryer. I won’t go back to front loaders EVAR lol 😂
My husband had this same washer from Samsung. There’s a reason the previous owners didn’t take that washer with them. He replaced the pump and then it broke again. I hope you have better luck. 😊
You FIXED it! It didn't work, you pulled gunk out, it now works. That's my definition of FIXED!
The problem with the washer is it’s a Samsung.. lol
Omg, Is it only me and my anxiety that i cant handle kinsley going under the washingmaschine just holding up by two bottles? 🙈
Pls take her away. 😅
Watching your baby walk under that propped up washer......OMG! making me so afraid. BE CAREFUL PLEASE ,words of caution don't trust kinsley by herself in that yard please she is like a toddler something could scare her and she could dart into the pool in error.. ..We love her and you both. .I don't be the one saying sad things but truly ....... ..Congrats on fixing the washer....You would have paid a couple hundred for the repair guy to unclog that part so you are still the man Ma Cenna LOL, Like the editing and new parts and the beginning.
Can I ask - why wouldn't you just use one of the big bedrooms upstairs for a master? There's lots of closet room up there and a full bathroom. I get that it isn't an ensuite but practically eventually you'd be close to the nursery (trust me - necessary), Romeo wouldn't have to lug inventory up and down the stairs and the W/D would be close to his workspace which is again, so practical for him. You could use the big closet down there for your DIY stuff vs trying to make it work upstairs. The office would be in your living space and your bedrooms would be separate. It just sort of makes sense?
Hello from South Devon, UK. I just love your videos. I’m just going through a separation/divorce and am starting to plan what to do with the rooms in my house.
I was literally thinking in my mind today “how wonderful would it be if MaCenna dropped a new vlog today about organizing her closet”. Dreams do come true
Good job MaCenna!!! Maybe that bedroom could be Romeo's office....and upstairs could be your master. also you said there was no bathroom for guests on main floor...so if Romeo's office is where you've put the master, your guests will have a bathroom on the main floor! Right? The bathroom off of the now master!
Is it me or does the lighting keep going up and down??
Be careful with the dog and pool. Especially if she doesn’t swim. Accidents happen. Love your new home!!
I hope you see this!!!! PLEASE do something in your pool that will help Kinsley if she falls in the pool. Very recently, my husband’s family dog fell in the pool when no one was around and unfortunately drowned. They have inserts you can put into the pool along the perimeter that’s like a ramp so that if she falls in and gets to the edge she can climb her way out. Something to think about. You never know when the worst will happen 😫
Kinsley needs a tiny toolbelt. 🥺
no kidding, I have like 10+ pairs of scissors strategically placed around my house and I use every single pair.
Store a pair of scissors in every area of the house.
Living room, kitchen/dining,bedroom, den, bathrooms, garage…..
Our washer was clogged with a pair of my underwear?! 😂
We always use a undies & sock laundry bag now
Be careful of other animals getting to him...
Did I miss you decorating your bedroom? From what little I can see - it's beautiful!
Make sure Kinsey knows where the steps are in the pool. Dogs will drown just continuing to try to get out of the pool instead of swimming to the steps to get out. Make sure she knows.
You’re sort of back tracking a bit. You already decorated a little and hung the tv. It’s still nice to see any new footage! Kudos to you on fixing the washer…..like there was a doubt that you could! 😅
front loaders are the worst!!!!
I think Kinsley needs a RUclips channel. This pooch has such a busy life. Not that you already have a lot to do. I would imagine everything being from Kinsley's point of view! 🐶🐕📽 🍪🏡🦴🛋🌱🚗✈
I just fixed our washer yesterday! 🎉
Fyi the pump to your pool has an overflow connection. When you learn to use it you can turn your pump on and open that connection and it will drain from the pump.
I was just going to write the same thing! 👍
Dogs drown in swimming pools because they don't know where the stairs are located to climb out. Their nose is pointed up in the air when swimming. Place a flag on a tall poll and teach them to swim to the flag.
When Kinsley was underneath that washing machine I was cringing saying “move Kinsley!!!” 😳 I’m glad you got it working…😅… beautiful home! Can’t wait to see what you do to it next
To drain your pool, set the pump to backwash. Drain your pool a couple of inches and set the pump back to filter. For the moss, use white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it on a dry day, and it will kill it in a day or two. Thank you, MaCenna! I always look forward to your videos. You are my inspiration!!!
Your quirkiness in this video killed me 🤣 it's obvious that you're very happy!! I love it
Yes!!!
I work in retail and if you ever need more space you should move all the jackets back to the bottom, use the rack for shorter items like tanks/shorts and then use the shelf space for t-shirts or pant folds, or even knit sweaters that would get ruined by the hangers!
Stay warm and have fun. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about the new house and you getting to decorate it. I think it will be great seeing what Romeo does for his office too.
a pressure washer should help with cleaning brick
If something doesn't break after moving in, did you even really move in? I, too, am the fixer. Love taking things apart and figuring it out.
I could just see Kinsley getting squashed under the washing machine 😞 love how nosy she is xx
Hi MaCenna love the new house. Idk why but I’m my head I see the down stairs bedroom being an office. Hear me out lol it’s the only downstairs restroom so guest would have to go threw your bedroom to use it. Plus when Romeo is bring In merchandise for his business he’s going to have to carry everything upstairs. Then when the baby comes lol if you all slept upstairs it would be easy to be right next to the babies room. So the whole upstairs would be your own part of the house. Just a thought I do see why you choose to the rooms you did well thanks so sharing
19:41 that’s a new macenna laugh I haven’t heard😂❤
I am apparently watching your video backwards. I just watched you rearrange the couch and hang those pictures you made.
Advice for pool:
-get a pool cover!
- it will not always be clear blue all the time, its alot of maintenance and adding either chlorine or salt solutions. You might also need to get "shock".
-do research and google about how to maintain a pool because there's more to it than you think...
They have a pool maintenance guy. He'll take care of the big stuff and show them the smaller stuff.
@@Lucinda_Jackson Don’t you love when people give advice that sounds like scolding,especially when she actually mentions that the pool guy is coming AND they have lived there less than a week.?🤨(also,doesn’t she research and Google literally EVERYTHING?)
@@lauramitchell6725
😁
Word of advice keep the part! You may need it in the future...
