I do believe that you just made his whole day and life that moment you Decided to let him have his very own strawberry patch. ❤️ I almost cried he was so excited. In his very own words... It's the best DAY ever. Great job Mom, and Dad. I love watching y'all. Hug's from Texas
Maverick's interest in strawberries could spill over into homeschooling. Math, science, writing, and reading applications would probably all hold his interest. Your local librarian might be able to access books for him about growing and enjoying strawberries.
Maverick and his strawberry garden. Such a joy to see a child so appreciative and excited about something as simple as planting strawberries. Maverick not only learned how to plant. He is learning a big lesson in patience. And being happy while waiting. Way to counter instant gratification. Great job mom and dad!
It really says something when your child tells you its the best day ever when he can get a strawberry garden it means the parent is doing a wonderful job of bring them up maverick is a good example to us all ,the simplest things are the best things.
I waved to Maverick in the intro standing in the window so I was smitten from the start! My heart was in my throat watching you carry that old window down the ladder hoping it wouldn't break apart on you! Maverick was so happy and thrilled at having a strawberry 🍓 bed! He did a great job for his age, so patient, gentle and listened well to instructions by mom. The pure joy on his face is priceless! Mom was pretty proud of him too He! He is turning into quite the ham on camera, tilting his head backwards at the end and having fun with it. Think he is going to have your humor, Doug! He so obviously loves his parents with all his heart, giving lots of hugs to you and you giving in return. You take a property and turn it into something magical for yourselves. I'm so envious but at the same time feeling you so deserve it! Your hard work paid off!
I agree with Maverick, it's a great day to plant strawberries! Until they get established good, plant some marigolds around and in between them. It will help deter bugs and pests that get in strawberries.
I always have strawberries growing because I love to eat them. My grandchildren would often beat me to the ripe ones. Maverick did a great job of planting them. He’s a very smart and capable boy. He’s growing up right and learning wonderful skills. Great job guys. 😊
Getting ready to plant strawberries after waiting “forever”, Maverick, running his hands over his new garden bed and with a giant grin says, “this is the best day ever”. Totally understand. Eating ripe strawberries from the garden is heaven on Earth. Love that kid. Love your family and this channel.
I loved seeing Maverick planting his Strawberry plants! Just listening and watching him puts a big smile on my face. You are doing great raising those kids!
I agree with Mav, strawberries are the best of all and so is he. He has the most beautiful sparkly happy eyes. Him and Bell are so happy and well-adjusted kids. I just love Mav and his personality. He seems super smart too. How Blessed you both are to have them. Thank you for sharing them with us, I so enjoy it. Brings back memories for me of my kids when little. Excited to see how the gardens do. Great watering can. Can not wait to see the windows in. Putting a bigger window in Bell's room and newer will save you in energy cost and add more light. Peace!
Yes, I agree with the watering can. I have three and they all leak water where I don't want it. The one Ashley used looked great and no extra water dribbling everywhere!! Going shopping again......😉
Try letting the kids paint small rock to look like strawberries. Scatter them in the strawberry bed. Birds will peck at them and become discouraged. Then they will leave the real strawberries alone.
Being a little older my grandma used to tell me to breakup the rootball and add a little bit of water to the base of the hole to give the roots an extra boost. Good luck with your strawberries
Good luck Maverick, strawberries dipped in sour cream then brown sugar is just yummy.I am glad you are replacing that window, it makes sense. A good tomato is celebrity. It’s a hybrid, but delicious.
That was so heartwarming to hear a little boy say it's the best day ever because he's planting strawberries instead getting a new Nintendo. Good job, Maverick!
Mav! I gotta disagree with ya buddy! Strawberry planting day is the *2nd* best day ever! Wanna know why? Because the *best day ever* is the day you get to pick and *eat* those strawberries!! 😁 That smart side really does look great! I can't wait to see the room all finished! So far it has most of my favorite things!! 😁 Hugs!
Maverick having his 'best day ever'. Made me smile ear to ear... I watched by grand daughter daily last summer and I remember her telling me on some days that 'today was the best day ever'. Makes my heart happy.
Does my heart good to watch Maverick with the strawberries. It's great that he can watch them grow. Your kids will have such great memories when they are older. Love what you guys do!!!
On reddit reading AITA .* have to get my laughs in for the day*.. sees notice for videos... drops everything so I can watch your video.. thank you for the video. Am I the only person who thinks that window came out too easy? Maybe because of the rot? I bet Belle is excited her room is coming along. Strawberries are the best! I agree with Maverick! I'm excited to see it have fruit! Thanks again for the video
Yeah, these windows are only held in by the trim. The actual window frame is not attach to anything else. If you pull the trim, they come right out. The doors are all the same way too.
@@diyfferent that's just not good building practice. But, I assume that house was slapped together. I'm so glad to see you putting it back together correctly and making the changes you are.
I have to laugh. My husband gets so angry at me and yells at me all the time for standing on the very top "this is not a step" step of all the step ladders we own. The beginning of the video Doug is standing on the "this is not a step" step of the ladder pulling a window out and that is so something I would do. And then when my husband found out he'd have a heart attack which is why I don't do it when he's home.😂🤣😂🤣😂
Made the same mistake that I did with the strawberries. Have to lossen up the roots before planting. Too many plants going to get so many runners and quickly crowd the bed.
We hope for the best, but are prepared for anything. Even if the garden doesn't do great, at least it's a start! But we're happy that you like our garden beds. We think it's all turning out really cool! We haven't really talked about this yet, but we also want to get some quail. I just have to plan out some good cages and get everything ready. I know you have some quail so I figured I'd let you know :)
I’ll have some chicks soon. Just started incubating, wished I lived close because you could have some, i have great breeding stock. I told myself I was taking a break on quail but my husband loves them so I had to compromise lol can’t wait to see your future endeavors.
It looked like there was no insulation in the wall under the window🤔 Thats so nice he planted his own strawberries, my 4 year old grandson helped plant a garden🤗
This was a great video. Lots of little projects. You did make me nervous standing on the top of that ladder. Is the joy on maverick's face planting strawberries. It was a good day indeed. Something he will remember for a long long time. Good job, mom and dad. Finishing out Belle's window will be great for her room
Mavericks smile brightened my day, he is such an ambitious cutie pie. I can't wait for you to get your new windows in, your home is looking pretty awesome!
We paint small rocks to look like strawberries n place them in the bed around strawberry plants so when the plants fruit the birds just think its hard rocks.. Might work for you too. Love the porch!#
just love the way you both work, the porch is coming along fabulously , Also the little one is growing so fast, I remember him so small and now he's growing strawberries with his mum and dad. got to be the cutest thing. i do hope you are all keeping well and resting when you can big hugs as always x
Hi Ashley Doug and Maverick its all looking good it will be beautiful cant wait to see it finished. Maverick enjoyed starting his strawberry garden. Look forward to your next video. Take care God Bless all your family always.💖💖🍓🍓🌼🌼🌷🌷
Maverick has advanced dexterity with his hands. He also knows how to be gentle with those plants. The skills that he has mastered will benefit him greatly.
Belle’s window opening looks great. Smart idea to angle the outside downward. Maverick’s first garden filled with strawberries. I love strawberries too. What excellent life skills he is learning. As always you are an inspirational family. Be blessed ❤
So Excited to see Maverick's garden! Hopeful he can update us on it along the way! He was such a sweet heart, full if smiles. Hi, from Arlington Washington state!🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
Have you thought about making a wee transport trolly for under washing machine, with front lockable wheels , so if need be, you can move it in and out?
When a plant grows in a container the roots of the plant are growing in a circle, when you are putting the plant in the earth, you can mark out / cut the roots (make a scratch down every 7cm), then the plant will make new roots in every direction, so the plant can grow better.
Hi Doug and Ashley. Maverick is just the cutest ever! Your home is coming along beautifully, and I look forward to your next video!. Keep safe, and God bless your beautiful family always 🤲💐💓
The example you both set for your kids is not just helping Belle and Maverick I'm sure. Just think of the parents that will incorporate their kids into helping plant gardens like Maverick because of this video. Seeing him digging in the soil to plant his Strawberries was amazing. I love the lines on the porch panels and the lines in the floor at the angle you showed out the door.
Maverick is such a wonderful child . He would top any smile competition going , and his joy in his strawberry bed is captivating . I thought he was the star of this video . The wall you installed today looks great .That’s a beautiful room .
Hello to all of you. Maverick sure makes me smile with his little, but enthusiastic bye at the end. Excited for you on your windows! Have a blessed week.
I agree with you Maverick. Any day you plant strawberries is the best day ever.
I do believe that you just made his whole day and life that moment you Decided to let him have his very own strawberry patch. ❤️
I almost cried he was so excited.
In his very own words...
It's the best DAY ever.
Great job Mom, and Dad.
I love watching y'all.
Hug's from Texas
Who would expect that watching a little boy plant his first strawberry plants would bring tears to one's eyes? So sweet!
🤗🤗🤗I love this family too
Maverick is just the sweetest little boy! He was so careful planting those strawberries. That smile of his is contagious! :)
I had a huge smile on my face the entire time Maverick was planting his strawberries!🥰🥰🥰
Maverick did a great job the strawberry’s will taste even better since he planted them
Maverick's interest in strawberries could spill over into homeschooling. Math, science, writing, and reading applications would probably all hold his interest. Your local librarian might be able to access books for him about growing and enjoying strawberries.
Maverick is so cute. Can’t wait to see him pick his first strawberries. You are very special family. 😊❤
Loving Maverick being in more of your video's, his beautiful smile is enough to make any day great. Everything is coming along nicely

Maverick! You are going to be an extra special talented gardener ❤
Gardener, carpenter,handyman and an honest man.
I always have strawberries growing because I love to eat them. My grandchildren would often beat me to the ripe ones. Maverick did a great job of planting them. He’s a very smart and capable boy. He’s growing up right and learning wonderful skills. Great job guys. 😊
You have two of the sweetest, darling, amazing kids on the planet! Nice job mom and dad!

Eating ripe strawberries from the garden is heaven on Earth. Love that kid. Love your family and this channel.
If you lay a bit straw under your strawberries plants that helps for getting rotten strawberries. That smiling boy (Maverick) made my day!😊
I loved seeing Maverick planting his Strawberry plants! Just listening and watching him puts a big smile on my face. You are doing great raising those kids!
Yeah, Maverick you’re a good gardener! You will have tons of strawberries, soon. Excellent work.
My favorite part was seeing Maverick's joy and delight in getting his own garden and planting his own strawberry plants! Yay!
Great job on the house!
I like the choice larger window for the bedroom. Nature view ftw.
I agree with Mav, strawberries are the best of all and so is he. He has the most beautiful sparkly happy eyes. Him and Bell are so happy and well-adjusted kids. I just love Mav and his personality.

*Belle. A bell is something you ring. Belle is a person's name, i.e. southern belle, etc.
OMGosh. Maverick is soooo careful handling those plants. What a sweet boy. 😍
Aww ❤️ love Mavericks excitement for strawberries! 🍓 I love strawberries too 😍 The porch is looking great! I like that siding 😀
Love that sweet Maverick got his own strawberry garden. You guys are really moving along!
Doug standing on top of the ladder gives me flashbacks to safety meetings at work.
It looks great! Love seeing all the progress. Maverick is funny, too! You can tell he likes being in front of the camera. So sweet!
Maverick....adorable! 😊
Doug I really like the vertical panel on the porch, going slow is the best way to go. Maverick is so cute planting his strawberry plants.❤
Try letting the kids paint small rock to look like strawberries. Scatter them in the strawberry bed. Birds will peck at them and become discouraged. Then they will leave the real strawberries alone.
Ruth here, l love the strawberry garden
y'all sure are raising your kids right! love watching y'all ❤
One step further to being done with the remaining.
Great job.
The porch it looking great. Maverick is going to have the best strawberry patch in the whole neighborhood! Good job Maverick 🍓🍓🍓🍓
Being a little older my grandma used to tell me to breakup the rootball and add a little bit of water to the base of the hole to give the roots an extra boost. Good luck with your strawberries
Good luck Maverick, strawberries dipped in sour cream then brown sugar is just yummy.I am glad you are replacing that window, it makes sense.
A good tomato is celebrity. It’s a hybrid, but delicious.
I absolutely enjoyed watching the joy in Mavericks eyes as he was learning about planting strawberries...may you get an abundance of them❤️
Look how very careful Maverick is with his plants, life skills are so important!
That was so heartwarming to hear a little boy say it's the best day ever because he's planting strawberries instead getting a new Nintendo. Good job, Maverick!
Such a cutie with his first strawberry 🪴❣️plants
It’s great to see Maverick’s enthusiasm for growing! 🍓🍓🍓
Well done. Maverick is a happy boy planting his favorite fruit, [strawberries]. Porch paneling looks great.
The enclosed porch is really coming together. Love the look.
'Best day ever' says Maverick planting his strawberries. That's the best. Love seeing all the work you did today. Looks great.
Mav! I gotta disagree with ya buddy! Strawberry planting day is the *2nd* best day ever! Wanna know why? Because the *best day ever* is the day you get to pick and *eat* those strawberries!! 😁

This was so much fun to watch. Maverick is such a ray of sunshine ☀ WELL DONE TEAM 💕
Maverick did such a wonderful job planting his strawberry plants. He has such great parents teaching him. Your house is really looking good.
Maverick having his 'best day ever'. Made me smile ear to ear... I watched by grand daughter daily last summer and I remember her telling me on some days that 'today was the best day ever'. Makes my heart happy.
Does my heart good to watch Maverick with the strawberries. It's great that he can watch them grow. Your kids will have such great memories when they are older. Love what you guys do!!!
Dude! You're risking your life working on top of a ladder like that.
You should have more subscribers, just the most excellent channel in so many aspects.
Maverick is so gentle and meticulous and a really good helper!
So awesome. One of the best things you can teach your kids is how to grow food. You don’t have to grow everything just something. Blessings 😊💕🙏🏻🇨🇦

@@cavisco it's all good as long as you employ your safety squints.
Your doimg the remodel the best way. One piece at a time. Remember there is no rush. Great work im sure thoses strawberries will turn out fantastic.
Made the same mistake that I did with the strawberries. Have to lossen up the roots before planting. Too many plants going to get so many runners and quickly crowd the bed.
Maverick did it so carefully it so cute.
You will have the best garden. It’s so unique what you did with the raised beds. Epic! 😊
We hope for the best, but are prepared for anything. Even if the garden doesn't do great, at least it's a start! But we're happy that you like our garden beds. We think it's all turning out really cool!

Loved watching Maverick plant his strawbs... happy growing!
It looked like there was no insulation in the wall under the window🤔 Thats so nice he planted his own strawberries, my 4 year old grandson helped plant a garden🤗
Correct, there is no exterior wall insulation in the original part of the house.
@@diyfferent any plans to add the insulation? If not, can you explain your reasoning?
This was a great video. Lots of little projects. You did make me nervous standing on the top of that ladder. Is the joy on maverick's face planting strawberries. It was a good day indeed. Something he will remember for a long long time. Good job, mom and dad. Finishing out Belle's window will be great for her room
I can imagine Mavericks face when he eats the 1st strawberry.!! love the wall panelling better than dry wall. Thanks fro the video love from UK x x
Ah, Maverick is so precious with his happiness with Strawberries. Good job little buddy. ❤️🍓
Mavericks smile brightened my day, he is such an ambitious cutie pie. I can't wait for you to get your new windows in, your home is looking pretty awesome!
Such an adorable boy! I hope his strawberries are abundant!
Any discount in this day and age is awesome indeed.
We paint small rocks to look like strawberries n place them in the bed around strawberry plants so when the plants fruit the birds just think its hard rocks.. Might work for you too. Love the porch!#
Good idea! And another fun project!!

Need to loosen roots on those strawberries.💦💧💦⚡️🌼⚡️💦💧💦
I love your little family,great job on all the work you're doing,
Belle can paint some rocks to look like strawberries and place in among the plants. It helps keep the birds from eating the real strawberries ☺️
What a great idea and so fun!
Hi Ashley Doug and Maverick its all looking good it will be beautiful cant wait to see it finished. Maverick enjoyed starting his strawberry garden. Look forward to your next video. Take care God Bless all your family always.💖💖🍓🍓🌼🌼🌷🌷
I also prefer the look of vertical siding over horizontal.
Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
It looks so good.. I love that wall too! Maverick, you are so cute & so smart! You light up the screen with that beautiful smile ❤️
Maverick has advanced dexterity with his hands. He also knows how to be gentle with those plants. The skills that he has mastered will benefit him greatly.
Belle’s window opening looks great. Smart idea to angle the outside downward.
Maverick’s first garden filled with strawberries. I love strawberries too. What excellent life skills he is learning.
As always you are an inspirational family. Be blessed ❤
Strawberry planting day! Best day ever. This needs to be a t-shirt.
I knew I would see you today...
Maverick sure is proud of his berry garden. I hope you show us how he enjoys them...
Paneling is an under-rated resource for neat, clean, finished walls such as yours. They're looking good!
So Excited to see Maverick's garden! Hopeful he can update us on it along the way! He was such a sweet heart, full if smiles. Hi, from Arlington Washington state!🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
Hi Ashley and Doug, the siding look’s good. Maverick I hope you have lot’s of strawberries, they are my favourite too.
Make sure you use a fine net over the strawberry plants or else the birds will get them instead of you...
Good luck with your strawberries, Maverick.
Maverick has the coolest flower/strawberry bed. Lucky guy! 😀
Have you thought about making a wee transport trolly for under washing machine, with front lockable wheels , so if need be, you can move it in and out?
Maverick did a great job with his berry. Good eye-hand coordination. Everything looks great.
When a plant grows in a container the roots of the plant are growing in a circle, when you are putting the plant in the earth, you can mark out / cut the roots (make a scratch down every 7cm), then the plant will make new roots in every direction, so the plant can grow better.
Looks awesome! Your doing a great job! Love how proud your son was to plant his own strawberries! :) Such a beautiful smile!
I’m looking forward to Maverick harvesting his first strawberries. Priceless!!
Hi Doug and Ashley. Maverick is just the cutest ever! Your home is coming along beautifully, and I look forward to your next video!. Keep safe, and God bless your beautiful family always 🤲💐💓

Will pray for lots of strawberries Maverick. Great job. I had my kids garden with me when they were young.
Excited to see how happy Maverick was to put his strawberries in....great job!!!
Maverick always brightens the video he’s a cute munchkin!
Mavrick the gardener. Great job!
