    Oh my goodness Ashley you are so adorable! Love to hear the Star Spangled Banner when you were modeling the red, white and blue pants.

    Florida can get decently cold this time of year. The pants not only look good but they will keep you warm. I like them 👍

    More war wounds on Doug's fingers - noticed that while he was installing the valve at the top of the toilet tank. Always doing something so I'm pretty sure it would feel out of the ordinary if he didn't have cuts of some sort on his hands. What, are golfing now? - Doug you kill me - what a dry sense of humour you have. Love the mirror - being the wood wizard you are, I'd be really surprised if you didn't fix it.

    So exciting to see all the details of this toilet install. Nice of you to consider the people in your family with shorter legs, and place it lower. It's actually a healthier position for you too. Now you can opt for a urinal. Might as well get it installed while you've got the walls open, and you're working with those lines. BTW, the mirror is gorgeous. Looks like it went on top of a dresser. You can fix it so you'll never notice it had been broken. What a find. You can put a little entry table below it... a place for keys, etc. Nice work. One of my favorite videos, so far. Thanks for thinking of us. Hey, Ashley, cute pants. I was going to say, "A little big," but when you said they were extra small, I giggled. I like to be warm too.

    @lindayaya59 2 года назад +4

    Hey ya know a couple xlg. Truck loads of sawdust or wood chips would soak up rain and it's good for dirt health. Also it starts a base for when you get gravel. Doug your a pro for sure. If you would want to build tiny houses after your done with your house; contact incredible tiny homes in tenn. They have people build them etc.. you would be similar to a independent contractor. Get paid and they give you all materials you need. Talk with randy jones. You would be a great asset to his co. Lots of love to you and yours.

    Hi Friends, Hey Ashley, loved your "model walkway turn" with the colorful pants on, lol!!! Nice job editing and having you just standing there with the different pants on too. I've never used a wall mounted toilet so watching you install one is interesting. I'm not sure I'd trust one not to break off the wall though. I'm much larger than an extra small after all. Lol. Things are sure coming together finally, right? Take care, stay safe and healthy. Hugs n Love.

  • @anetzband1383

    @christianefleurant7089 2 года назад +6

    You both have a great sense of humor. I really appreciated The Star-Spangled Banner with the presentation of the blue-red-white flannel pants. They look comfortable, they will probably shrink when you will wash them for the first time. Everything is for the best. Thank you from Montréal, Canada.

    @picketfence2028 2 года назад +4

    Great job! I do like that style of toilet, it's much easier to keep the floor and the toilet itself clean. We have always sub-contracted our plumbing out when building a home, but you guys make it look easy! The mirror is a real gem of a find! I love finding a diamond in the rough at Goodwill or a little mom and pop consignment shop. Especially a 4 dollar one! The pants are really cool Ashley! ;)

  • @ginagonzalez6547

    When you finish this house up , from a nonas point of few, I remember you saying you’d like to inspect houses , correct me if I’m wrong . But you should do those classes and get it done so later on in life you’ll have an easier job on your body. Saying this ( your knowledge and skills are a gift from the Lord and your hard work on learning and doing ) you have the ability to do anything you want!

  • @lindacarruthers3423
    @lindacarruthers3423 2 года назад +8

    I detest having to practically embrace the toilet to clean round the back of the base . I detest cleaning the little fiddly bits where it’s bolted to the floor , and the whole toilet cleaning gymnastics needed with a standing toilet . You really address many of the household pet peeves of mine with your excellent renovations . I frequently say that women should design houses . I was wrong , Doug and Ashley should design houses . That mirror is wonderful ! As well , the actual mirrors of times gone by were better . I don’t know if they put thicker mirror stuff on the glass or what , but if you look at well kept old mirrors beside new ones you will see what I mean .

I have been talking about your channel long before you moved to the Michigan homestead. I think you have another follower.

    About the crawl space under the house for the pipes, I think a board will protect them from any animal that might pass by and accidentally yank the pipes out of place. Something like a pegboard or plywood would do.

    Doug, I really like all the detail the mirror has, I wouldn't have been able to pass it up for $4 either. LOL!
    But if anyone could bring it back to life, I know you and Ashley are more than capable to do so.
    Much love and hugs to you and your family!

  • @roseypeach8363

    In 1954, when I was five, I watched my father build our house; it was the third he had built. He did carpentry, electric, plumbing, HVAC, tiling, masonry. I remember him "sweating" pipes, brushing on "pipe dope," heating lead in an ancient portable melting furnace, soldering every joint and every fitting. It's amazing how pex, compression fittings, and cold expansion have streamlined plumbing. I really enjoy your videos.

    Hi Doug, Hi Ashley,
    Carmen & I just finished watching the video and we loved it, we did see the last two videos as well, we did not comment because Carmen has been sick and not well enough to comment, as I mentioned to you guys before, she went to the Doctors and she is starting to finally feel better, she looks alot better too. I just wanted to give you an update on Carmen's health as well as to comment on the progress of your new home in Florida, Doug you are a perfectionist which is a good quality to have especially when it comes to home Improvements & home renovations, at least I think it is. you are so good at what you do, very percise and very maticulous about your work, and I like that quality that is instilled in you. your work is neat, and very well defined and it shows in your finished work. I'm not going to take up too much of your time because I am a talker lol, & your a very busy man, I am working on that problem that I have. take care hope you all are well, feel free to inbox me anytime always a pleasure to hear from you and Ash we think so highly of both of you God Bless
    From your friends in Lima Peru

It amazes me the skill level you have on EVERYTHING you do. Ashley love your pants and you look adorable in them .You are so tiny and petite. The mirror was a FANTASTIC find and it is old. Doug no worries, you will have that mirror fixed and looking great in the entry hall. All your renovations have been great, but this one looks very challenging and we all know you two have no fear when it comes to this kind of project. I’m so excited to see this house become a beautiful home for such a beautiful family. God Bless you all. 💕🇺🇸💕🇺🇸💕🇺🇸💕

    My husband comes from a long line of furniture makers, and nowadays he does furniture repair. Please don't use a screw in that mirror frame - it will split the wood in other directions and may damage or destroy the glass. Use wood glue where it's split, using a putty knife or artist's brush to get it into the narrowest areas. Then clamp it together well, let it dry fully, and it will be good as new.
