GET THE FLOORING IN THIS VIDEO! Use our code DIYWIFEFLOORET to get half off a Flooret Sample Kit here! get.aspr.app/SHSBU (We used the color "Kingswood" in this video and we also really like the color "Soho"!)
These are very important videos for homeowners to see. This is the reality of homeownership
Oh man, what a "deluge" of issues. Hard to imagine coping with it all but you guys with your faith, humor and skills are so inspiring. Prayers and cheers!
The good side of all the work -- when you go to sell it, you have these vids as proof the work was done well!
I so glad you discovered the mold. God works in mysterious ways! Praying for you.
I've even read Dr Jill Crista Breaking the Mold, apparently most houses do have some and in vulnerable people it can cause ulcerative colitis. And other autoimmunity. It's a shame most people would never ever suspect.
Prayers
I’m glad that you guys found out about the issues before it chronically affected your health, so silver linings. The new floors look beautiful. I can’t wait to see the rest of the bathroom makeover.
Andrea I can just see you with a concrete saw fixing the drain issue by yourself. Installing French drains and directing water to the street. Everyone needs downspout extenders that roll out and take water away from your house. It's a Lowe's trip. Flooring is beautiful. Dang base molding has really gone up in price. Everything looks good. Hope your insurance will come thru with some help. Have a great weekend.
You’re both handling this spat of disasters gracefully. It’s not easy with all the stressors. Bravo!
You guys are extremely courageous for taking these big set backs in your stride. I hope your issues are solved soon and that insurance takes care of you. Kudos on the great flooring.
God’s always got our back! Thank you for saying it out loud on video, it’s a huge blessing. Amen!
I know they say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, but sometimes it’s a lesson you could really do without. Your floors look great as do the baseboards. Love the extra wide planks. Glad you pick up on the mold issues before it really impacted your health. Stay well and take care.
"Your "test" will be your testimony, Your "mess" will become your message!" Thank you for sharing your lives with us and showing us its not all rainbows and butterflies. This is the reality of home-ownership! We bought a house 2 years ago and found the last owner LOVED to quick fix (band-aids) instead of the best/correct fix. UGH! Thankfully my husband is in construction and I love design.
Love your faith! Praying for you and for God to be glorified through this trial!
If it makes y’all feel any better, after the Northridge Quake, people on the street behind us and three door down…their house was a total loss. Our damage, a candelabra sitting on our ebony piano fell over, nicked the piano finish and broke 2 or 3 tea light holders. I know y’all are grateful to have good insurance! We had water damage twice, once literally the night I had told my husband that after I picked up a small piece of furniture the next day we would be finished with our remodel. That same night the hose on the dishwasher
broke and the next morning as hubs was on the way to make coffee, he started treading water about ten feet into our 50’ hallway.
We’d had floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookcases built on top of carpet! No need to say more, other than I really feel bad for you, and amazed at how you both keep smiling. I shed a lot of tears over our indoor flood. 🙏🏻
Do you have a gofundme? God works all things to good…❤
Bless your hearts!! So many issues yet y’all are still smiling!!🥰
We have a mold issue in our main bathroom were getting that taken care of. But my bedroom shares a wall with the bathroom. Now we are having to replace all the sheetrock on that wall in my bedroom . So now I'm sleeping in the living room on an air bed luckily I know how to put up sheetrock. My son is putting the sheetrock I'm taping it and mudding it . Next is going to be new floors . I know what you are going through except that you have young children . Mine are all grown . I have 4 3 girls and 1boy he is the youngest . Good Luck . I hope you get all the drainage problems fixed . Prayers and Love 💞 From Oklahoma
This is why moving is hard for me, but I love moving! The question: will this home make me ill. 😭 for those that live in homes that help keep them healthy. You are blessed more than you may know!
You guys are going to be in a much healthier home soon. You’ll probably be able to feel the difference. I’m so surprised you all have not been super sick!! So glad you haven’t been!!
How on earth did that exterior water issue pass inspection? That's a major bummer. I've lived through a couple of those kinds of issues. They are not fun or cheap to fix.
Sadly those issues go undetected unless you tear up walls and Floors and there's a rain😮😢
@@talisacopeland1767 I think I'm just used to inspections in an area that is frequently hit with hurricanes. Our inspector on the house we bought about 5ish years ago pointed out every single spot in the house that couple potentially cause issues like that even if he didn't find anything because its such a risk where we live.
I don't know what to say..WOW! A plethora of issues and I am so sorry you had to ruin the beautiful rooms you have already remodeled, yet this is good that you found out all the issues and can get them fixed. Dean is right- God has a better plan for you, and for all of us and we all will get through our trials. Thank goodness you guys are still young and agile to take on all this work! God Bless!
Well in the upside is the small leak helped find the mold-imagine how much worse that could have been for not only your home but your health! I pray God continues to bless, guide and help provide for you during this stressful crazy time! 🙏😊❤
WOW! So many things are happening to people. Sorry to hear all this for you both. You are very talented and strong. Hang in there you guys. You’ll get through it.
I’m hopeful that Andrea’s autoimmune issues will flare up less now that she isn’t constantly breathing in mold!
Finding the mold was a blessing. God will provide the way through all of this 🙏🏻. Your faith is inspiring ❤
Please stay strong and stay TOGETHER!!!
So true! God really does take the ashes and return them with something beautiful!
Your account really does show a journey of testimonies 🙌🏼
I love that you can see that God always has you! That hasn’t changed in your current situation. Blessings
God's definitely got you covered. I'm so thankful that the mold was revealed so that it could be fixed before things got worse especially your health. Thanks for sharing this journey with us and still smiling through it all.
Your DIY home renovation journey is truly captivating!
As much as I usually would feel incredibly sorry for anyone this had happened to, you guys will just create another miracle and are a tremendous example to our generation and the ones to come, for how and what to do when bad things happen. Your children are very lucky to have you both as parents and I congratulate you for all the hard work and great mindset you show like it was a normal thing. I can only learn from you, in every way, thank you ❤
(I still felt for you 😢😅)
Sliders come in plastic for carpet, and felt for all others. No scratches, too!! Mostly, so easy on your back! Take care of yourselves!! ❤😂❤
This video is a rollercoaster of emotions-I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry at the mishaps! But amidst the chaos, there are valuable lessons about the reality of DIY projects, especially on a budget. It's reassuring to see the creators persevere through setbacks, reminding viewers that even the messiest renovations can turn out beautifully in the end.
Glad you found the mold (not that you had it, but that you found it). You've got this.
I sure feel for you. We have had several floods in our basement and mold found once. It really does turn into such a hassle. The fear of insurance not covering it is terrifying. I will keep your family in my prayers. I loved Deans perspective at the end of the video when he said, that “God always has a plan”. I admire your faith and perspective and for growing closer throughout all these trials. They will make you a stronger couple if you let them. And from what I see, you sure are. Wishing you all the success and that things will go your way from here on out, so you can get all these projects wrapped up to your Liking. And--I absolutely love the new flooring. The wider planks, the color the LVP, all of it. It’s perfect with your decor. I’m so glad you guys are really happy with it too. Keep your heads up. Soon, you’ll be on the other side looking back and you’ll be so thankful with how well you’ve handled everything! YOU’VE GOT THIS!!
You two have my ❤! and you crack me up!! 😂
You guys are definitely going to need some flood insurance. 😭 I have to ask my husband if we have it because our basement floods every time it rains.
Y'all are so upbeat and positive and seem to be taking all this in stride. It's good you have family and friends supporting you to keep you going! There are a bunch of us who only know you from following you here on RUclips who are ready to support you, as well. Please let us know how we can help you!! I've been watching you since 2020 and share your page with everyone I know. You've taught me so much and I adore you both! And yep, my friends and I ALWAYS sing the Lowe's trip song when we go there. 😅
Aww your husband's optimism is something admirable! I hope this is another door that God opens for ya'll to upgrade those spaces :)
Keep your old flooring, clad your garage walls! It looks beautiful in my garage workshop, and it seems to avoid dust sticking to it!
Wow. Love the floor! Its so elegant. Bless you for mentioning G-d. Most of us leave that out. Good on you for recognizing that were in "good hands"
The floors are gorgeous. Lemons into lemonade!
You guys are wonderful the way you handle all your stress! May God bless your family! You have a beautiful home
Wow overwhelming, all the best guys...
Floors look fabulous! Lots of work and mess - stressful, but you all are handling it and praying the insurance covers as much as possible!!!
My husband and I flip houses so I know how heavy that flooring is! Getting ready to order flooret after current flip is done! So excited!
so glad you found the mold. Fingers crossed that all goes well!
Discovering the mold is a blessing and no one got seriously sick from it. Thank God.Prayers for you and your family
I hope the next couple of weeks go smoothly for the whole family. It’s so nice to see you both look after each other through the ups and downs and that you can find time to laugh together. ❤
Yees!! With God EVERYTHING! IS WAY BETTER, HE HAS US IN HIS HANDS
Guys all that work, I would not be able to talk to anyone after moving that flooring in ur house, impressed with ur positive attitude…😮😅
God always has a plan!!!! Continue trusting Him. BTW the floors are beautiful. And, as always, you are doing a fantastic job with everything.
If I don’t hear the Lowe’s song in every one of your videos, is it even a DIY? I’m thinking I’ll remember that jingle for the rest of my life just like old commercials from the early 1990s…. “A Lowe’s trip!”
Amen! All things work together for good! Y'all are definitely in good hands!
I had to go to Lowe's the other day and your jingle stuck in my head while driving there!!! Love how in the bloopers Andrea was filming you w/ camera in your face and you were like ....ok that's enough....but you have the cam in her face like allllllllllllllllllllllllll the time and she is not that crazy about it... :) but glad you vlog..such fun vids!
you need to get that water pipe directed into the street drainage pronto, or the nearest foul water drainage system, or it will never dry out.
I’m so impressed with how positive you’ve both been through all of this. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I am sad that this happened to ya'll, but glad that it will get resolved and ya'll will be safe; happy; and healthy!
I love your new floors and not be happier for you and your family!
As a homeowner whom is a big DIYer, I really enjoy watching your inspirational videos!
Well done ya'll!
Oh guys I am SO sorry for all the hassles!!! God bless you!!
Covered by God, the best insurance ever! Many blessings ❣️
Floors look beautiful
Your new floors are so beautiful. What a lot of work moving furniture and flooring boxes. I love your attitude that maybe God has a better plan for your home than you know of. I hope you are able to get the mold situation fixed without it costing you so much. Take care.
I just installed Flooret LVP in my bedroom and I LOVE it! The quality is so much better than anything I could find at the big box stores and the wider planks made for easier/faster install.
If I had a dollar for everyone I drive pass Lowe’s and start humming or singing to myself “ a Lowe’s trip, a Lowe’s trip” 😂😂😂😂
Wow you gys, when it rains it really pores. What alot of serious issues and expenses. Keep well and hang in there.
The house looks so warm and cozy and inviting
We so enjoy watching you Kiddos - your skill is amazing! I am going to write Lowes a letter and encourage your other followers to back me up- they NEED to sponsor y'all! We sing the Lowes song all the time. Y'all are the family I would send something to help on patron should you want to go that route to get through this crisis. Hope you are feeling better soon.
You guys are incredible together. Love watching your episodes.
I’m totally overwhelmed for you!! And we’re not even a minute in!
Those new floors are gorgeous. In your house. Your sponsor should be delighted.
I’m exhausted watching y’all! Bless your hearts 🥰
OOOHHHH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!.......If I EVER need encouragement when life storms come my way, I will for sure watch THIS video...AND you even had time to make " A LOWE'S TRIP" 99 plus times. The part where she says.....don't bang anything it's coming out of your paycheck...WHAT PAYCHECK!!!!, all the house issues has "DRAINED" him dry (PUN INTENDED)...LOL. I ABSOLUELTY love watching you two, ESPECIALLY of course Dean...he keeps me LAUGHING. Imitating the child in the car seat was a hoot. Let me tell you, you two are MORE THAN CONQUERORS. God's got you, because He saw this BEFORE it happened and what starts out to be bad, God WILL turn it around for your good. It will ALL be "WORTH" the frustration in the end, because the value of the home will increase. Thank you soooo much for sharing and showing us your real life. Blessings to both of you.
Praying for all the issues!
Will be anticipating the glorious outcome 😊
Thanks for the update!
Homeownership…. Ain’t it grand? The floors are pretty!
I loved the new flooring, it’s beautiful ❤
Yaaaaa you are here missed you all ❤❤😂😂
Prayers for you both. God always has a way❤
Whoa! That's alot. I'm surprise the home inspector didn't point that issue with the add on and gutter issue. God gotcha you❤
Wow!!! What a major project(s)!! I’m so glad you guys are young and have wonderful attitudes. I would not be able to handle the stress. But once everything is done, you’re going to have a beautiful (again) safe home!!!
I sing the Lowe’s Trip song every time I go there. 😂
Shewie! So much on the go!!! Glad it’s all being GM taken care of and that you’re not breathing in that mould any longer!
Thank goodness you found the mold yuk. Ashame you had to replace the entire floor but it looks updated and fresh now and it’s really nice. Luckily you saved some money painting the face boards yourself. Drainage is so dang expensive it costs a lot and it doesn’t look one iota different it is such a pain but unfortunately it is a necessity. Hopefully you don’t get anymore surprises guys. TFS.😊
So pretty 😍 I’m so glad that they discovered the mold. My daughter had a severe reaction to mold in her dorm room. We ended up moving her off campus because the mold kept coming back even after they cleaned and painted the walls.
You guys are the best!! A God intervention is needed!! \o/
Dean is so FUNNY
Autopilot to Lowes and then to Chick-fil-A. 😂🤣😂🤣
Love the floors..❤ 😊❤️🇨🇦
I'm soooo sorry you are having these home issues. I have to say that it sounds like you have GREAT homeowners insurance. Please check with your doctor and your pediatrician regarding chest x-rays just to be safe. Looking forward to the bathroom remodel.
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you got new floors! You've mentioned a few times that you wish you had installed water-resistant floors in the first place, so while this was obviously a huge pain, in the long run you got what you wanted 👍.
So glad you found the mold as well. If you tear up some of the concrete near the house, would you consider putting in some flower beds next to the house to help with the drainage and add some greenery?
And BTW what happened with your Crate and Barrel leather chairs? I LOVED THEM.
Yes, we are glad to have water-resistant floors as well! And yes, that is actually the initial plan outside is to (potentially) make a flower bed to help with the drainage but to also add some inviting greenery.
Good job, great perseverance and patience! Beautiful floors
Wow you guys have such a great attitude through all that, Hubby and I would be fighting and crying haha
Love watching your trips to Lowe's and your hard work! Floors look great by the way!
God bless you all! May Lord give you favor with your insurance company and provide the perfect contractor to do the drainage work for your home so that you never have this issue again. Your new floors look amazing!! I have shared your link with my two children who are in the process of building new homes :) Blessings to you and your family.
God works all things for our good....thank you for sharing your experiences with these. Praise Him! And blessings to you and your family. Your new floor is gorgeous. Love, love, love watching your videos! They always put a smile on my face...you two are adorable!
I'm sorry about all the issues 😔. But your taking it in stride and having it done ✔️ 😊❤
My God, the FLOORS are absolutely beautiful
Dean, don't forget sunscreen when coaching soccer! You look a little crispy! Love the floor color btw.
God always turns it into good for those who love Him.
Oh boy ! If it ain’t one thing it’s another!
