You and Marian are so cute together. I'm sure he is one heck of a person. I love the way he told you that you were beautiful that was so sweet, my husband used to tell me every morning, "you are very beautiful today, Mrs Wright", I miss him so much he has been gone twelve years, yesterday would have been our 60th wedding anniversary, God bless you and Marion.
I am just in awe of Marion’s craftsmanship. He does amazing work. It looks great so happy you guys are getting things done, you sure have put your heart and sweat into it. Now sit back and enjoy!!
Magic has been done at the Dorsett residence, and after thoroughly checking everything out, Belle and Oliver completely approve. It looks lovely. Kudos to you and Marion. Congratulations!
You must be so happy with your new patio your husband is so talented can't believe he made those post caps I hope you decide to stain the new wood would be a lovely contrast with the colour of your house
I love how you describe what Marion’s doing and with what. I would only know deck and steps, nothing more😂. You both get er done! That was no small job of replanting your plants on such a hot day. My husband saw this again in the screen and said “ hey, have you watched that one yet where they are going to pour the concrete?” I said they was #2 and this is #3. Want to see? Yes! I want to see how that concrete turned out. He was very impressed! It is looking so good. Both of us are looking forward to the finale! ❤🪴♥️
Is there Nothing that man can’t do? Wow! It’s beautiful, you are going to get a lot of enjoyment from this backyard addition! Great job Marion!😅 Bravo 👏
Your husband works so hard. You are truly blessed to have a man who is willing to work so hard to make your house a home❤ Not that you don’t work hard but I feel men in this country need to be appreciated more and acknowledged when they are good men ❤
So nice that Marion is so good with woodworking and has saved you guys a ton of money on house projects! 🌼 cute little step pavers from the porch to the grass opening-an idea 🤷♀️🌼 Staining the wood would look nice and maybe more modern that way there won’t be any paint nicer time that chips and having to repaint it🌼 Wow! It is all looking so amazing! 🌼when it’s all done, before and after pics would be fun to see! 🌼
Arika, y'all have done such a fabulous job! Just thought I'd share that those beautiful caps that Marion made do come made just like that but they are black and the top of them are lights! (Solar) Just some information in case you ever wanted to switch or something! It's looking great! 🙏❤️👍🤗
Project is looking so good! Marion does such nice work. Love the crosses on the deck. Can't believe he made the post caps. Your gonna love sitting back there and having family gatherings. Happy for you
Wow, what a creative husband!! You are blessed Erica to have a husband like Marion, I'm sure you already know!! Gorgeous beginning to your dream porch 😊❤❤😊
It's already looking amazing. I'm so happy for you! Your so lucky To have a husband that can build you stuff that you want, in Instead of going and buying it..❤
Y’all are doing an amazing job. It’s beautiful! And girl… you are a working machine. My back hurts just watching you do all that planting. And in the heat whew
Hi Arika! I LOVE YOUR NEW PORCH!!! I have been watching you a few years now. I have watched the new front porch, the basement and pantry room....The bathroom refresh, the switcing of your bedrooms.....Just everything and Your amazing new kitchen as well!!!

My hubby would have about killed me if I wanted him to do all the things yall have done to your home...LOL It is so homey and beautiful! I also have to give you kudo's for ALL THAT YOU DO! Your home is immaculate and you work so hard to keep it clean and decorated for every Holiday! I LOVE IT ALL! God Bless you all and have a wonderful summer! Hugs, Dianne
Hi Arika Marion is very talented what a great job he did on the stairs and railings,the plants look so nice so pretty get another pack of solar lights and put some by the plants by your fence that will look so pretty and it will give you some extra lighting. Staining the stairs would look stunning I love the wood pattern so beautiful well done ❤😅
Marion did a great job. So need and professional. 🎉🎉🎉and you did a great job with the plants. I think is clever to keep a few by the fence❤. You guys are going to have many happy family events and time outside now....enjoy
WOW! Great job on the stairs. Love the X on the railing sides, so cute and Marion did a fabulous job making the 4 caps. I love all the home projects, inside and outside that you all do.
Marion is not perfect BUT he sure is a blessing. What a beautiful makeover of the backyard and it's not finished yet. AND he still wants to flirt with you 😂 I am blessed to have your videos to watch. Love you all ❤️
Wow!! Marion did a great job on the steps and landing! All of your plants look so pretty around the patio and love the black mulch beautiful! Excited to see the complete transformation. You guys get some rest!!! 😊
What a beautiful job!!!! You are Marion are a dynamic duo!! Marion’s wood working skills are amazing!! May God bless you and your beautiful family with many happy times on your new patio!! ❤

It's looking so good! I love the plants around the edges of the patio and I love the look of the dark mulch! I'm so excited to see the finished product!
I really looked forward to this video. Watching your home improvements is a true joy. You've both done a terrific job, again. Thank you for including us in your journey.
The patio is looking fabulous. Looking forward to your decorating it. Also, can't wait for the next big project. Marion did a great job on the stairs👏 ❤
Love the cross railing idea. I have to put railings on my front porch. Love seeing this. I think I'm going to do this instead of spindles. More country style look. Your patio is turning out nice. Marion does great work😊
Love how everything turned out! Looks so good! You both have done such a great job! I think pavers with gravel in between the pavers would look so good! Either way everything looks great! Thanks for sharing! I have really enjoyed watching these type of videos!!! Y’all are going to have so much fun hanging out on the back porch and having cookouts and having s’mores around the fire-pit! 😊
Love the new patio Marion and you work well together My husband and I have built 1 room and large screen porch and front porch over many years I love building things with my husband
Control joint. As concrete dries it shrinks slightly. It develops cracks due to shrinkage, creep, thermal movement. The joint is to allow small cracks to develop at the joint and not at undesired places, and to help control the size of cracks; itty-bitty versus big, long, meandering chasms! Takes about one month for the concrete to cure to 100%. Since you keep getting rain storms, ask your neighbor if you should tarp the slab so you don't get washout and the small aggregate ("pebbling") being exposed on the surface.
I love watching your channel. If you put one out everyday I would not miss a single episode. I don’t comment often but I plan to change that.,, little bit of a challenge as I watch you on the TV but have to go to my phone to like and comment. I love your content and think you are a natural born host. Keep up the great work. Hope you’re enjoying your summer. Also your fur babies are precious❤️
The hostas are so big they should have been separated, you could have gotten 3 plants out of one and the roots loosened up and buried in deeper holes, hopefully they live for you, good luck!
Very excited to see it completed. It looks amazing so far! I can’t keep up with you! Today, I felt accomplished by having a window blind trimmed and installing it. I need to finish mulching my flower beds, but it has been too hot. Can’t wait to see your next video. ❤
It looks so nice. I know the excitement you are feeling. I also wanted a patio for a long time. It took 32 years to get mine built. We enjoy it every day.
Marion did a great job especially on the post caps and saved you a lot of money. Arika you worked so hard on replanting your plants and everything looks beautiful. Jackson did his part in making your lard beautiful also. I know the family will enjoy the patio for many years.
You and Marian are so cute together. I'm sure he is one heck of a person. I love the way he told you that you were beautiful that was so sweet, my husband used to tell me every morning, "you are very beautiful today, Mrs Wright", I miss him so much he has been gone twelve years, yesterday would have been our 60th wedding anniversary, God bless you and Marion.
Morning all happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter and I'm proud of all of you
Marion flirting with you while you’re trying to explain stuff had me cracking up! 😂
❤️😀
You are so blessed to have a man that is so good at carpentry. And that he is so willing to get projects done.
Well,that's awesome!!🙂God Bless

Stain would be low maintenance, and that's a good thing😊
Beautiful, can I borrow Marion? He's so talented!! I can't wait to see the finished patio.

It's looking just amazing! I see new patio furniture in the yard for the new patio! How exciting! Can't wait to see all of your hard work pay off!

Beautiful yard and beautiful couple!! Ya'll remind me of me and my husband....still flirting after 30 years!!
Its looking fantastic!!
Looks beautiful .love the wood . ❤
That looks awesome, good job you two!
The hostas are so big they should have been separated, you could have gotten 3 plants out of one and the roots loosened up and buried in deeper holes, hopefully they live for you, good luck!
I disagree. Those hostas aren't huge at all. They definitely don't need to be split yet.
Very excited to see it completed. It looks amazing so far! I can’t keep up with you! Today, I felt accomplished by having a window blind trimmed and installing it. I need to finish mulching my flower beds, but it has been too hot. Can’t wait to see your next video. ❤

You all have done a awesome job. Looking forward to more.
Looks wonderful !! Well done all of you.
It looks so nice. I know the excitement you are feeling. I also wanted a patio for a long time. It took 32 years to get mine built. We enjoy it every day.
