    Hey Ashley. :) The best thing we've ever done for well being re: managing our comments has been to use the comment filter feature to auto-hold comments with certain terms like stupid, waste of time, etc. We've also considered adding 'should' to that filter -- rarely is the term should ever used in a positive non-critical way!! The other great benefit is the block user feature. Junk comments get deleted, and junk users get blocked. We liken it to taking out the trash. :)

    • @jw1731

      Nice idea about the adding “should” to the filter. 9 times of 10 it’s some entitled comment or unsolicited bad idea or both.

    I have actually never commented on any video before but I just had to this one time so forgive its lengthiness (wanted to make it count 😁.) My husband and I have been watching your videos for over a year and love your channel. We look forward to it every week and here's why (hoping this will brighten your day)... 1) you are a real family, all your content comes from a place of reality - the true definition of reality TV unlike many channels that produce outrageous content just to get views, we love your genuineness. 2) Doug, you are just a nice, decent human being... I love the respect you show Ashley and your children. Not once have you ever belittled Ashley, not once have you shown irritation with your kids. 3) We love that even as an adult, Ashley can still be excited about the little things that matter - we loved watching her with the trampoline and the effort she put into cleaning the pond in her kayak 4) and lastly (well there are several more but will stop at #4) Your perseverance and calmness help us forget our own hectic lives. You all never back down from the challenge, you stride along when it's difficult and even though we know you must be frustrated, you remain calm. All of this make your channel a very peaceful, soothing respite for me and my husband so thank you, thank you.

    As a fellow RUclips creator, I have learned how to deal with the trolls on my channel. Ignore them. Don't respond to them. Don't mention them. Don't give them the time of day. They like ANY attention that they can get.
    Tighten up your comment filters. Focus on those keywords that trolls use. Their comments will go to 'Hold For Review'. Your viewers will not even see them. Then, when you review the comments hit that 'Hide User From Channel' button. The troll and all of their comments will be gone forever. You don't need them. Show them no mercy, no tolerance.
    I had one guy that was persistent. He kept coming back with a new identity. He just kept getting banned! 🙂 Nobody except me ever saw any of his comments. He put a lot of effort into typing long negative comments and changing identity for nothing.
    You guys are doing great. Keep up the good work!

Helpful tips, even criticism in that vain of thought can help. The title of your channel is DIY Different, big hint to the haters out there. Would I buy property in Florida, or have what looks like a swamp next to my home, no but that is me. You guys worked on the home in MI, got a lot of tips from how you did the projects, and even now how you are dealing with your home in Florida. At least you have shown when things go wrong, how you all fixed them or overcame the problems, that is honesty. Keep it up.

We built a little house on our property (missionary furlough house) all by ourselves about 20 years ago so we love to watch your building and remodeling projects. My hubby started watching your videos (over my shoulder!) a couple of years ago and now we can't wait for new videos to show up and we watch them together. WE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! We've watched you long enough to know that you put a lot of thought and prep into everything you do. Nobody's perfect and we all do things we wish we'd done differently - that's life! Don't let the negative comments get you down. Keep doing what you're doing. We love you and almost think of you as part of our extended family!!!! You're probably close in age to some of our grandchildren! Praying for you and your precious family.

    I am not one to comment much, but after hearing about all the insults you're getting, I can't just stay silent. I feel you need to hear what you've done for me.
    I am a single woman in my 50's and just recently decided to do some upgrades to my house. I want you to know, that because of your channel(I've been watching since you updated your small trailer in Indiana), I was able to do 98% of all the demolition in my house. Saving me, no telling how much money! Not only that, but was also able to understand enough about the new plumbing to make better decisions as it was being put in by my plumber. Your channel gave me the confidence to tear down old walls, remove ceramic floor tile, scrape ceilings and so much more. I tore out the toilets, bathtub, showers and sink while redoing bathrooms. I can't thank you enough for all the information on your channel. It continues to give me the confidence I need to tackle jobs I would have been too scared to even try before.
    Thank you!
    One more thing, I subscribe to many YT channels but yours is the only one I have watched every video you put out since I subscribed. Please keep doing what you do for us. You are a shining light in a darkening world and we love you guys!

    I’m the son of a construction worker, and am also by profession a construction worker and heavy equipment operator. Also a Florida native. And I can say you have done nothing in your remodeling of your house that is wrong or “stupid” maybe you didn’t do it the way I would have but it’s not my house it’s yours. And that sand is the typical fill dirt here where we live. However if in the future you have problems with wash outs, which happens sometimes down here nothing you can control. Get a few loads of top soil and blend it into the first inch or two of dirt. It will help grass grow quickly and hold the soil in place. That’s the only advice I could give you. Looking forward to new uploads, keep up the good work

    Ashley, the trolls are just miserable people who have nothing better to do than poop on others to make themselves feel good. Just block em hun, they're not worth your time. They're just looking for an emotional response, give em silence! Much love

    To quote George Bernard Shaw - “Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.” As many others have stated, the trolls are getting a lift from your reaction. It feeds their fragile sense of superiority. With that being said, the vast majority of your subscribers are supportive. That's a testament to you.

    I very much respect your family. Ashley honey, keep in mind that the negative people are usually narcissistic know-it-alls, without your and Doug's drive, creativity, or vision. I couldn't be more proud of you if you were my own children, and my hard working husband would hire you both, for your creativity and intelligence. ❤

    It seems to be a part of culture these days to take one's own dissatisfaction in life out on those living their own best life. You and your family do NOT deserve that! I've watched you since your Michigan days and am constantly impressed by your ambition, tenacity & inventiveness. Honestly super happy for you. And also super happy to hear the birds in your videos; I live in a cold part of Canada so, especially during the winter, it's lovely to watch your progress.

    I rarely make comments on RUclips, but making an exception today. As I have followed your channel for a couple of years I have been totally amazed at the level of skill and creativity you bring to your projects. Your editing and narration tell your story well and I find it entertaining and inspiring. I suspect that rude comments come from maladjusted people who are projecting there own ego and fears of incompetence. Sending positive thoughts your way. Keep up the good work. Thanks for letting us share in your adventure.

    As Floridians, yes, our soil is very sandy. We added top soil , rich for gardening and had tomatoes, potatoes last year. Keep up the good work and ignore those who speak negativity. Ashley, you do a great job of putting your vlogs together. Block those who think they know better than you. And yes I agree, many vlogers in RUclips land have the same issues. And Doug, thank you for standing up for your wife! Blessings.

    I've noticed a bunch of comments from people who are claiming you have a sink hole on your property. I've been putting in yards and lawns for years and what I can tell you is that you have no sink hole what you have is basically a swamp on the side of your property but you're doing the right thing by raising your yard up with the fill that you're using. Just keep adding to it and raising it up and eventually you'll get there. It's never easy but it will work. Florida is brutal as far as land goes there's so much swamp and wetlands but you can overcome that and I know you will. Ignore the sinkhole brigade they're crazy and they watch too much TV. Just keep pushing forward. By the way I miss metal Mondays and I know you're busy but down in Florida there's some crazy history in the ground all over the place.

    My mom lived in Florida just south Gainesville on 10 acres. The sand is exactly what was on her property. She did grow grass, she had trees and flowers. I think people who have never been to Florida besides the beach would be surprised at the native soil. Eevee, we appreciate all the support you give your family. You guys just do yo.

Thank you Ashley for all your work you do behind the scenes. People don’t realize the time and effort it takes to do all the filming and editing. I also enjoy the children’s art work,adventures and discoveries. Childhood is way to short and I’m glad to see them having such a great time. Just know we appreciate your family and keep you in our prayers. Love Gavi.

    I absolutely love you guys and your channel. I've followed you since the red paint running down the trailer episode. You are genuinely sweet people and have inspired many project for me to do around my home . I love the Dirt /Sand. it's like having your own mini beach each time you step out of your door . I know from living in Florida, that you are correct, that is Florida native soil . I'm sure it feels sugary soft on your feet. And hopefully it should help with any of that flooding issue that you guys had there last year .
    As far as the rude comment . Treat them as bots or childish trolls just trying to get a rise out of you . Like the bullies did at jr. High . I'm sorry Ashley has to face the brunt of their assaults. It's clear to me that you guys are very happy in Florida when compared to the other homes you've had. So enjoy the sunshine, love your homestead . Raise your beautiful children . Have fun ... I sure do when ever you post a new video .
    You have lots of Fans who love and admire you . don't let those trolls take that away from you or us .

    the world would be a better place. You or your wife shouldn't let negative nay sayers upset you in the least. I feel sorry for those people, they are unhappy with themselves and try to make others feel the same. You all are fantastic. ♥️

A great example to others.... it has taken me years to realize (and alot of Bible study) to know I don't even have to pay attention, defend myself or respond. Just fly high like an eagle and ignore the chickens. Don't waste precious thought energy on it. Shoes of peace people!

    I am 68 years old and I figured out a long time ago that I do not much care what people think . I did my research and talked to people who knew what they were talking about and went from there . If I made a mistake it was on me . It did not cost anyone anything except me . Do not let a bunch of know it alls get you down , shrug them off and continue on . I know you do your research and plan your every decision . Keep on keeping on and pay no attention to those who have nothing better to do than critique someone else's hard work .

    Hi - I have been watching since Indiana - the reason I enjoy your channel is that there is no drama - a happy family working together to accomplish something - I know the internet is full of ugly trolls - please ignore them - I am only interested in pictures of dragons, pirate ships sailing on tarps - finding orange trees - digging for hidden treasure but mostly transforming a battered old house into something beautiful
