I love your new home it's wonderfully decorated and very welcoming! The screened in patio is a great spot to hang out! We all need a toy box/shop and Dave's is awesome! Enjoy your beautiful new home and property.❤
Very nice you done a superb job on matching the decor it's very hard to figure out what is going to go together and make it look good you done an awesome job
Das ist ja wirklich ein schönes Haus.........ohne Schnörkel, ohne überflüssiges Beiwerk. Da kann man nur gratulieren zu dem Mut, in vorgerücktem Alter nochmal neu zu bauen. Sowas wie die Gewürzschränke finde ich sehr praktisch. Zum Fensterkleid kann ich nichts sagen, ist Geschmacksache.
Thanks so much. We didn't want to do that all white farmhouse look, so tried the 2 colors. We really like how that came out. Thanks for commenting on that.
You & Dave did an amazing job designing, building, and decorating a gorgeous home! Thank you for sharing this process with us, I enjoyed coming along for the ride!
I love shutters on windows. Not everyone's taste though. I think they look farm house and a little rustic. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your house with us!❤
Hey guys .... NEW place looks VERY NICE !!! I especially LIKE the (black) door hardware .... Karen, how has the ablation helped with your A-Fib ?? (I had an ablation done during bi-pass surgery, and I haven't experienced A-Fib since ... (2 yrs) now) ... I'm hoping it was as successful for you !!
We like the black hardware too...clean look. I have had 2 ablations and have been shocked a few times. The last time was in February 2024. Since then, my doc has increased my A-fib med. Since then, I have had a few flutters and one 2 1/2 hour episode just a week ago. Doc could not ablate one spot he wanted to get at my last ablation a few years ago because it was too close to my esophagus. He said they can do that area now with no problems and said if I keep having issues, they can do a third ablation. I am also on Eliquis blood thinner, so they said to not get too worried if I have an episode and to wait it out. If it doesn't go back into sinus rhythm, then off to the hospital we go. So it's kind of a wait and see situation. So far, so good with some minor issues. I have to be careful to not get dehydrated...that can trigger it.
@@WattsOnWheels I'm sorry you haven't yet conquered your A-Fib Karen .... I too battled it for 6 years, but The ablation I had was done differently , while the surgeon had my chest open for by-pass surgery and an Artia appendage clip, he had access to the entire heart organ ... (I was told that it (ablation) done that way was the most successful type, .... But it comes with 5 MONTHS of your ribcage healing back together .... I will keep positive thoughts for you .... Stress was a "trigger" for my A-Fib ... But TRY to stay hydrated 👌👍👍
The remote controlled shades seems to be the favorite in the comments. We'll definitely check into those. Thanks for your kind comments and for watching.
You guys built a beautiful home. We just built a barndo next door to our house to down size. Went from 2400 to 1209 sf. Easy to clean and go! Enjoy your home it’s awesome.
We bought Allen and Roth cellular shades from Lowe’s. We have blackout that are wonderful! We put the light filtering ones in some of our other rooms. We absolutely love these!!
😍 your house is most definitely a home now , it's beautiful and you've done an lovely job of decorating it , looks so much better now it has decor and possessions in . Men build houses , Women make it a home ❤ Excellent work both of you , all that hard work and decision making has certainly paid off , I love it all especially all the wood. The steamer in the shower was an excellent idea . Being a man I'm definitely not one for window decor suggestions , that I think is best answered by the ladies. Overall I'm giving your home an A+ , 11/10. 👏👏
You all have good taste. We started watching you long time ago. We are Spyder owners slso. It's winter in Northern Michigan, no riding now. Happy New Year from Ludington Michigan.
Hi Dave and Karen. I love you guys house and the property. My favorite place to have a nice house with lots of room. I love the design of the houseIt’s beautiful even better the shop I love a shop if I could put my fifth wheel in it. I do have a litter shop 25 x 30 in the back, but I don’t have access to the back of chop. congratulations and enjoy the house.
@ I wouldn’t want to cover the window casing, it’s too nice to look at. Your house is gorgeous! Do you mind me asking where you got your cabinets from?
Nice place! I always thought that if I traveled around like you guys that I would need a place to regroup if, God forbid my RV adventures went south on me. You guys have done a great job on your new home.
We are sitting in the Tulsa airport waiting for our flight to Phoenix when your video notification came through! So happy for you guys!!! You’ve done an amazing job with the house and the toy box lol Looking forward to seeing you guys again and sharing another cocktail! Happy New Year!!!
LOL. So glad you covered the plumber's crack! 🤣 Stitch witchery is magic. "Will it open?" No sneaking up on you guys! Love your decorating style Karen. You have built a beautiful home. Praying you have many years of joy, living in all the "homey" spaces you have made. It has to feel really great to for you two to see it come all together. Happy moving in!! 😍- Jim & Michelle
I literally had to pick my jaw off the floor after seeing your home ❤ it is absolutely beautiful. I am beyond happy for you. The land the home and all the goodies in between you are truly blessed!! Happy New year to you🎉 sit back and crack open a cold one 🍻
Love the idea of the hot water tank, I need to do that in our kitchen. Is that a 2 gal one from Home Depot? did you connect it to the hot water line in and then two lines out? thank you in advance.
Yes, yes and yes. You got it all correct. We are going to add one to our kitchen and maybe the guest room bath too. Love having instant hot water and not wasting it into the septic system.
Yes, the cook top can be gas or propane. It comes ready for gas, but if you want to use propane you have to purchase different sized orifices for the burners and switch them out. They are about an additional $70. Propane is a lot hotter than gas, so the smaller orifices only allows so much (smaller heat/flame) to cook with. You can't even tell. We have a buried propane tank because there was no natural gas in the area. The oven part is electric & convection. We got it from Lowes: www.lowes.com/pd/Cosmo-Standard-5-Burners-True-Convection-Stainless-Steel-Common-36-in-Actual-36-in/1001470902 Their ad says 36" deep, but they meant 36" wide. They have them in 30" wide too. We chose the one that has the drawer in the bottom for the broiler pan, plus that way stuff doesn't roll under it.
It is so beautiful, but when we sold our beautiful large house and we went full-time traveling for over 5 years, at the age of almost 70 we decided to stop traveling and we had a home built and super downsized our house! It's a lock and leave so we can still travel! But not by RV.
That sounds like you did the perfect thing for you. Our house seemed to grow as time went by, but we're OK with it. If we were ever to do it again, it would be smaller, but doubt that will happen. :)
Your new home is absolutely beautiful and your decorating is just as nice!
Thanks so much
What a beautiful home you have built! Congrats on the fruits of your labor.
Thank you so much.
I love your new home it's wonderfully decorated and very welcoming! The screened in patio is a great spot to hang out! We all need a toy box/shop and Dave's is awesome! Enjoy your beautiful new home and property.❤
The screened-in patio is our favorite spot too. We'll get to try it out next Spring.
I love your new house Dave and Karen
Thank you so much.
Your welcome my friends
Very nice you done a superb job on matching the decor it's very hard to figure out what is going to go together and make it look good you done an awesome job
Thank you so much, we put a lot of thought into how to make everything work together.
It came out just beautiful. Now it’s time to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Safe travels to Arizona.
Still lots to do, but it can wait until we return. We actually could use a break from it.
This is a beautiful house. Not too big. Not too small, just right
Thanks so much for watching.
Congratulations on your gorgeous home enjoy.❤
Thanks Vickie
Das ist ja wirklich ein schönes Haus.........ohne Schnörkel, ohne überflüssiges Beiwerk.
Da kann man nur gratulieren zu dem Mut, in vorgerücktem Alter nochmal neu zu bauen.
Sowas wie die Gewürzschränke finde ich sehr praktisch. Zum Fensterkleid kann ich nichts sagen, ist Geschmacksache.
Vielen Dank. Ich freue mich über Ihre Kommentare.
Love your new home and have loved following the build! Great taste in decorating! Enjoy!❤️
Thanks so much for watching the build! We are happy with how it turned out.
It's beautiful, guys! All your busy-ness just shows that the work is never done even when you build a new place! 🙂
Now that's the truth!
Beautiful home love the dark siding on outside and finished touches I wouldn’t want to leave👍🥰
Thanks so much. We didn't want to do that all white farmhouse look, so tried the 2 colors. We really like how that came out. Thanks for commenting on that.
Love love kitchen cabinets and family room! Just ❤️ Beautiful
Thank you so much, we appreciate you watching!
Love, love, love that floorplan. Such a good job.
Thanks so much. I think I had designed a couple hundred until we figured this one out.
@WattsOnWheels Also great job on decorating. Love it all.
You & Dave did an amazing job designing, building, and decorating a gorgeous home! Thank you for sharing this process with us, I enjoyed coming along for the ride!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! We appreciate you going for the ride with us.
It’s really a gorgeous house and decorated so beautifully.
Thanks so much, really appreciate that.
Love all of it, especially the landscape lighting
Dave did a good job on that. Thanks!!
I love shutters on windows. Not everyone's taste though. I think they look farm house and a little rustic. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your house with us!❤
I have been looking at plantation shutters. Gonna be a hard decision as all the other decisions I've had to make have been. Thanks for your thoughts.
Love the house it’s beautiful! The decorations fit the house perfectly. God bless your home as well as you and Dave
Thank you so much. We appreciate you!
Such a beautiful home!! Great attention to detail! I could never had made so many decisions.
It wasn't easy. I'm a very visual person, so I need to see it, but many things I had to try to imagine it. Thanks for following our build.
A beautiful home. I’m sure you will enjoy it for many years to come.
Thanks so much. We sure hope so.
Great Job with the layout and the decor ! Very inviting and nice flow through the rest of the house also. Can't wait to see Dave mow the yard !😂
Thanks so much. Can't wait to see Dave pay someone to cut it. 😀
We had sensors on our driveway and they would go off at 2 am when the deer walked by.😂❤. House looks great!👍❤️👍❤️
Same with us. Deer and blasts or leaves in the wind make ours go off too. Thanks for watching...appreciate it.

Thanks for your thoughts on that. Thinking shutters would fit the motif too.
Absolutely beautiful 😊
Thank you so much.
We bought Allen and Roth cellular shades from Lowe’s. We have blackout that are wonderful! We put the light filtering ones in some of our other rooms. We absolutely love these!!
I'll check those out. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks Marten. If you ever make it to the States, that guest room is all yours.
@WattsOnWheels Bless you both , that's a very humbling offer and incentive enough to push harder to one day visit your awesome country and meet up 🙏.
You all have good taste. We started watching you long time ago. We are Spyder owners slso.
It's winter in Northern Michigan, no riding now.
Happy New Year from Ludington Michigan.
You know we are from Michigan originally so time to get out the snow mobiles :). We have great riding right outside our door now...love that.
very good I love the beams that Dave maid
Dave may have found a new job. He's had a couple of inquiries. ;)
Beautiful
Thanks, we love it!

I do have a litter shop 25 x 30 in the back, but I don’t have access to the back of chop. congratulations and enjoy the house.
Thanks so much. Any shop is better than no shop. You know where Dave will be most of the time. :)
Thanks so much. Any shop is better than no shop. You know where Dave will be most of the time. :)
Any size shop is better than no shop. You know where Dave will be most of the time. 😉
Yay!! Congrats guys. Amazing job 👊🏼
Thanks so much. We love it!
We have driveway sensors as well. I’d just put window shades up, some that are remote to open and close.
You are the second person that has mentioned the remote shades. I'm going to check them out. Thx!
@ I wouldn’t want to cover the window casing, it’s too nice to look at. Your house is gorgeous! Do you mind me asking where you got your cabinets from?
Love your home
Thanks for watching Dorothy
Gorgeous. I love love your home.
We appreciate your kind words.
You both must be so happy with the outcome - you have a beautiful home! Happy New Year to you both!
We are very happy with our new home and how it turned out! Thanks so much, we hope you have a great New Year too!
You both have very great ❤taste
Ohhhh, thank you so much Nancy
Beautiful job guys
Hope to meet you in the Q and will have a beer for Dave 😊
We are on our way...be there Jan 23.
Beautiful home 😍
Nice place! I always thought that if I traveled around like you guys that I would need a place to regroup if, God forbid my RV adventures went south on me. You guys have done a great job on your new home.
Thanks so much. We agree with your thought process. Great to know you have a place to go if needed.
Youse two did a fine job!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much.
We are sitting in the Tulsa airport waiting for our flight to Phoenix when your video notification came through! So happy for you guys!!! You’ve done an amazing job with the house and the toy box lol Looking forward to seeing you guys again and sharing another cocktail! Happy New Year!!!
Hope we cross paths again. Glad you are doing so well on the circuit.
LOL. So glad you covered the plumber's crack! 🤣 Stitch witchery is magic. "Will it open?" No sneaking up on you guys! Love your decorating style Karen. You have built a beautiful home. Praying you have many years of joy, living in all the "homey" spaces you have made. It has to feel really great to for you two to see it come all together. Happy moving in!! 😍- Jim & Michelle
Hi guys. Yes, the curtains slide too. Still more decorating to go, but that's the fun part and we have dozens of thrift/antique shops around here.
@@WattsOnWheels That helps!
3rd bedroom.. possible wall bed (Murphy) with desk & storage unit.
Funny you mentioned that. We were just talking about that a couple days ago.
I literally had to pick my jaw off the floor after seeing your home ❤ it is absolutely beautiful. I am beyond happy for you. The land the home and all the goodies in between you are truly blessed!! Happy New year to you🎉 sit back and crack open a cold one 🍻
Thanks so much for your kind comments. Yes, we have been blessed. More than one cold one has been cracked. :) Happy 2025!
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it. There's been more than one cold one cracked open. LOL Yes, we are blessed.
Put motorized shades on your windows with a valence. Then you can open or close them with the push of a button. See you in Quartzsite!
We like that idea for the motorized shades. We have plenty of time to figure it out. See you soon.
Very cool
Thanks so much for watching.
house looks amazing!!! The only negative thing I can say about it is that Dave needs a bigger beer fridge!!! maybe a commercial double door one! haha
I failed to show the one in the toybox. LOL
Where is my picture on the wall? That would make that house even more priceless. 😂😂. Look wonderful
We must have misplaced it. LOL
Bamboo Shades would look great in your office area. 😊
That would add some warmth. Decisions, decisions. :)
Came to say the fact thing.
Shutters would look nice in office/bedroom
Shutters are a great idea for privacy, and they do add a nice touch to a room.
Ya have a beautiful place
Thank you very much.
Wow! It will be tough to leave this year, I bet.
We are itching to get back on the road and we know it will be there when we return when the weather is warmer. :)
We are itching to get back on the road and we know it will be there when we return when the weather is warmer. :)
Great job, enjoy!
Thanks for taking the ride with us. There was a lot to learn throughout the process although we have done it several times before. Always something!
@WattsOnWheels know just what you mean, been there done that.👍👍
Enjoy your adventures forward & keep your home security system working 24/7/365 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you! Will do!
Wow good video
Thank you so much for watching!
Lace curtains would be nice (your choice of color) 😊
So many choices...what to do?? Thanks for the idea.
Love the idea of the hot water tank, I need to do that in our kitchen. Is that a 2 gal one from Home Depot? did you connect it to the hot water line in and then two lines out? thank you in advance.
Yes, yes and yes. You got it all correct. We are going to add one to our kitchen and maybe the guest room bath too. Love having instant hot water and not wasting it into the septic system.
Your home is absolutely beautiful. Do you have city services(sewer and water)?
We have city water (yippee) but septic system.
Way to go. You cannot install a hot water heater with the crack,
My crack has been around longer than that water heater's. LOL
What type of wood is your cabinetry? I’m guessing knotty alder or rustic beech. Also, what color stain did you use? It’s absolutely beautiful.
It is Old Master dark walnut stain on knotty (rustic) alder. We love it.
@ As you should! Your whole place ( house, shop, patio, and property) is simply amazing. Like a dream come true. So happy for you both.
Dave gonna need a truck load of beer after putting all that stuff together! 😂
Ok, you got me. It's a hot water storage tank. :)
Wonderful home ideas🎉
Love your kitchen stove where did you get it
You mentioned it was dual propane and electric??
Yes, the cook top can be gas or propane. It comes ready for gas, but if you want to use propane you have to purchase different sized orifices for the burners and switch them out. They are about an additional $70. Propane is a lot hotter than gas, so the smaller orifices only allows so much (smaller heat/flame) to cook with. You can't even tell. We have a buried propane tank because there was no natural gas in the area. The oven part is electric & convection. We got it from Lowes: www.lowes.com/pd/Cosmo-Standard-5-Burners-True-Convection-Stainless-Steel-Common-36-in-Actual-36-in/1001470902 Their ad says 36" deep, but they meant 36" wide. They have them in 30" wide too. We chose the one that has the drawer in the bottom for the broiler pan, plus that way stuff doesn't roll under it.
@WattsOnWheels great info thanks
I wanted it outdoor kitchen
Ok looks fantastic. Where is Dude?
Thanks. Dude's new video will be out tomorrow.
I spy the ole suburban!
Dennis
Oh yeah, he's so happy to be under cover in an actual garage now.
Need to due paved drive ways to keep the mud down.
We are considering that, but it's not in the budget right now. 👍
@3:04. If it was hot water heater you would not need it!
It’s a water heater!!!
😂😂😂
It's connected to the hot water supply, therefore it is a hot water heater/holding tank. :)
It is so beautiful, but when we sold our beautiful large house and we went full-time traveling for over 5 years, at the age of almost 70 we decided to stop traveling and we had a home built and super downsized our house! It's a lock and leave so we can still travel! But not by RV.
Plus ,I forgot to say we have everything paid off, vehicle and our home is debt free! We owe nothing! Such a great feeling!
That sounds like you did the perfect thing for you. Our house seemed to grow as time went by, but we're OK with it. If we were ever to do it again, it would be smaller, but doubt that will happen. :)
I have to watch your Christmas video now, I live in Cleveland Georgia, so I have to find out what is the history behind that print?
