    The transformation is beginning to reveal itself!!! You guys have been getting so much done in breakneck time! And it is lovely already!! I had a very long day of hard work and driving for over two hours today too. I came home exhausted and hurting but did I go rest? No!! I had to stay up and watch your video!! Having gone through an almost full home reno mysekf, I feel myself reliving all the painstaking work and fatigue along with you. Tonight was no different except it is doubled! I feel mine and yours!! But it’s all so worth it. There is joy in accomplishment and I’m feeling that along with you as well. I want it to be tomorrow already so I can do this all again with you and see more of this project! I’m addicted!!!! ❤❤❤❤

    How can anyone not love watching you two and the boys. I started watching you in 2019 (is that right?) when you bought the mini mobile home, totally gutting it and restoring it to serve your family csmping trips. Then you remodeled the front porch, them the inside of the house. Then one day, out of the blue someone came knocking on your door, offering you a price to buy your home, that you couldnt say no to, (who has that happen?) That opened the door fir you to move to where you are now. That became a reality for you long before you ever thought it would happen. I remember when you reached your first 1K subscribers. Remember, how exciting that was? You two have certainly been a joy to watch. Thank you for doing what you do. I love you guys. Sherry from Atchison. KS, birthplace of Amelia Earhart.

I have slowly been working on updating my home with new paint. Eventually there will be a major kitchen renovation but I can’t do it myself anymore. I just hate what’s here from when I moved in 3 years ago. It will get done, just at a much slower pace and as my budget allows. Good work guys.

    My guess is dark blue lower cabinets & the goldish color on top cabinets. 🤘

    I’m thinking you are going to,paint the cabinets two different colors, a light on the top cabinets and a darker color on the bottom using two colors from the backsplash you are making. And you are going to change the knobs. 😊
