Doug, you always amaze me with your teaching ability. When you first mentioned you really liked a tape measure, I’m thinking why? Tell me more. Then you went home and sure enough, you told us more and more and more. Wow! I had no idea there were so many different types of tape measures. So cool. Thanks again for being you.
Like the magic of a speed square it will make calculations for you, that you didn’t know it could do. Measure twice cut once
Does that Crescent brand Lufkin glow in the dark? since it seems like those yellow numbers would…
💯 agree
Belle’s love of bugs has rubbed off onto Maverick. I love it! He’s getting so big and intelligent! I love it when you find something. He’s so interested in it. And when he comments, he sounds like a wise old man. The wall frames were easy to install. You’re getting closer to walls which makes me happy and eager for the next faze. Have a restful weekend.💕
That nook might make a nice laundry area, with the plumbing being right there.
I was thinking that or a small powder room. After having 2 bathrooms I am biased. I never want to go back to 1 lol.
I really enjoy your videos. ❤ Evee and Doug you tŵo are a amazing couple ❤
Thank you :)
Those walls went up fast! Note to self: keep Doug away from tape measures and car sale websites. LOL!!!
I love that Milwaukee has the fractions. But then I love Milwaukee.
Great progress!!!
Maverick is SO SWEET!!! 🥰🌻🎶🌻❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏡
I really like the tape measure collection
Doug, you are the man. We love your work. Tell Eevee to give you big hugs you are awesome 👋
Loving the progress!
The house that Doug and Eevee built!!👏👏🙂
That's an awesome tape measure collection, Doug, and that was a beautiful dragon fly, Maverick!👋🏼
Cool dragon Fly!!
A whole bathroom framed it what an accomplishment. Things are moving fast❤
Doug & Eevee don't mess around >>;=)
I love the one with the fractions.... I AM CLUELESS WITH FRACTIONS!! I'd whip that thang out and hollar 4 FEET AND THEN THE FRACTION.....LIKE I KNEW IT ALL BY MYSELF!!!! 🙂
My husband loses a lot of tape measures. I think he usually forgets them at the hardware store. I remember both my dairy farmer grandpas had those wooden measuring things stuck in an overall pocket that were like a bunch of small rullers hooked together that would click into shape making longer ones. One had a round very skinny tape in a metal case that would pull out. It may have not been metal tape. I think it was only about a quarter inch wide if even that. I think it had to be reeled back in. Both grandpas also had a tin of Copenhagen snuff tucked into their Oskosh B'Gosh pockets, or some Black Jack gum. Precious memories of Grandpas who always let me "help" drive their Ford tractors, help feed cows, wash milkers, and even collect maple sap.
My Grandma always kept Beemans, Black Jack, and Clove gum packets in her purse. She would allow me to snatch a stick whenever I wanted. Good memories.
So did mine! 😊
That extra alcove looks big enough to hold a washer and dryer. Plus it's on the same side the plumbing will be on. I would like one of those tape measures with all the in-between fractions to save my eyes!
You 2 are certainly hard workers. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
The trailer is really taking shape. A closet or a laundry room. Nice find Maverick the dragonfly is so pretty.
God bless this family.🙏💖
Nice tape collection. The black tape was a first for me. I knew a carpenter that had over 100 old manual hand planers. He kept them in a footlocker. They had all been used and well-loved. Measuring tapes and manual hand planers are 'tools of the trade'. Your mobile home is taking shape. I never once doubted or questioned your design but I admit this is the exciting part of the process. Actually seeing walls is proof you have created a sturdy and safe shell that is transitioning into what will be a well-designed and comfortable home. Well done Eevee and Doug!
Your tape measures are like my scissor collection! I have scissors everywhere I might need them. And specialty ones separate.
Me too! I don't like having to search for scissors. Kept a pair in each room of my home!!
@@lindajwilson9848...and maybe it's a "Linda" thing!
Bathroom walls w double wall looking like great warm idea.its coming along fast . ceiling looking great in the trailer.
Thank you Doug for calling it a “TAPE MEASURE” & NOT a “measuring tape”. Thank you for showing us all your tape measures & the different features each one has. Can never have enough 😉
Doug - it’s really beginning to look more like a home than a cavern !!! Yay 😀
Eevee- loving the sunglasses and the pigtails ❤. 😎
I agree
Hi Doug and Eevee. Great job with the framing! And how interesting is your tape measure knowledge. I never knew there were so many different ones. You are a wealth of information and super talented! Thank you for sharing and educating us😊. As always keep safe and God bless your beautiful family always ❤️ 😊 🤲 💐 ❤
Thanks Guys👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌺 What no Maverick
saying goodbye at the end.🤷🏼♀️ 😀Bye-bye
I just figured it out. I enjoy watching this channel because you guys remind me of the Doozers from Fraggle Rock. Always building new and cool stuff. It was my daughters favorite show when she was young. Also, who would have thought I would like seeing tape measures just as much as puzzles 🤔🥰🤣
haha!
I remember Fraggle Rock from my daughter's youth! Fun show.
I went to my local big box hardware store and extended every single tape measure in stock to see which had the longest "break point" before it bent/folded. The crescent Lufkin won by several feet. Helpful when you are measuring alone, with no one to hold the other end of the tape.
I learn so much from you guys 😊 Always working hard.
A niche that is close to a water source must be going to also contain something that needs a water source -- easily plumbed. Washer/dryer/hot water heater closet? By the way, I'm loving your skirt, Evee! Hello to all and wishes for a wonderful weekend! ☺
Nice work on the walls. I see you started on a porch for the back door.
A man never has enough TAPE MEASURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice tape measure collection. Thanks for showing and sharing it will help me pick a new one out.
What I like is that Doug & Ash work on the fly with their building materials and tools Doug is chopping boards on the floor. Without all the RUclips sponsorship big tools. Good work guy’s!!
I’m am a nurse who is now trying DIY that requires some carpentry so I’m a beginner. Literally. I find the DeWalt tape measure to be the easiest in understanding all the fractions. Just makes things clearer. I have also learned that I’m doing chalk lines I prefer one that is 3:1 much more than the 6:1. Never before did I know any of this nor did I think I would need to. Would love to hear other beginners tips if u guys have any to share. NOTE: Great find Maverick. That dragon fly had very distinct and beautiful markings.
Doug, where did you learn your carpentry skills? Shop class, books, video's? Did you apprentice? You are a wonderful mentor explaining your projects. TY!
Very exciting to see walls go up.👍💞
Doug, you explain things very well. I’ve learned a lot from your channel but probably won’t use most of it. ❤
Love the look of that heavy duty black tape measure. It looks so unique.
Your accuracy is awesome..all your walls fall into place so effortlessly..but of course that is due to your attention to details ..Mobil home coming along so nicely😘
Good morning, family. I'm excited about the bathroom wall going up.
I love your tape measure assortment!! I have about 5 of them!! One is a Stanley power lock, one is a Lufkin 50ft!!!!! I keep these in the house & I have a little one that is a cheapie that I carry in my purse. The others are in the shed outside & since it is 1:35 am here in Oklahoma can’t tell what brand they are!! LOL. I know you are wondering what a 76 year old woman needs with all those tape measures, but I use those things a lot!! I also have a few cloth tape measures. Those are handy too. You got a lot of work done today. Little Maverick is growing so fast. I love that he likes bugs & worms & things like that. I do also even still at my age. Until next time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Family,
Awesome work day, ahead of schedule
is wonderful for you guys I’m sure! My guess
is the nook is washer n dryer hookup. Lol
Probably wrong but I like to guess, lol I know
you didn’t ask for a guess but I though I’d
throw it in there anyways. 😂
Nice measuring tape collection, I love the
ones with the fractions on them, just seems
to speed everything up a tad for me.
So good seeing you guys!
Be safe, happy and God Bless ❤
Hi Maverick 🛴
Hi Belle 🐛
Something to think about - not nailing in the shower wall area of the wall - because if you decide to purchase a complete shower unit you might want the wall to be removed to slip it in more easily. But if your shower is in pieces - then it can more easily come through the door opening.
Just a thought.
Eevee, I'm guessing the nook is going to be where a washing machine, and the water heater goes. Because you're like me, and prefer to hang the clothes up on a clothesline, instead of using a clothes dryer. 😊
Doug, we share the same obsession and I'm always on the hunt for a good tape measure, too! LOL!! However, you have a couple of them I don't have, so I took screenshots of the ones I'm interested in, and I'm definitely going to be doing some shopping!! LOL!!
Hope ya'll enjoy your weekend!! Much Love and Hugs to you both and the kiddos!! ❤❤❤❤
Awesome job! You got a lot done today! :)
Ya know,I was good with the tape collection😂. I have one myself, but it’s due to the fact that I loose them,all the time,and it’s cheaper to purchase a new one, than to search for hours. Buying tapes for specific jobs has never occurred to me. I’m going to use that as my defense when I loose the next one. The struggle is real
I like how things are moving along! Great work! I'm glad Maverick is always on the hunt for insects and "stuff"! 😊
I’m guessing the extra alcove space is for the laundry area. Great progress today. 😊😊😊
Hi Doug and Eevee, thank you for showing us your tape collection. I thought they only made a standard. Now I will also get my own mini collection for different things i do. However I love the sturdy ones because when I measure the length of a room it beds and is frustrating. I did not know they had a sturdy one. Thank you.
You must be buying that lumber at a local outfit. Lowe's nor HD ever has anything that straight. LOL Great to see the baño and "laundry lounge" getting framed in, that gets the non-kitcheny plumbing all in one place.
I've never seen tapes with markings on the backside, that is wild. I have a 15-20 yr old 25' Craftsman tape, it's got great reach before it "breaks". I like that Lufkin he's got, kinda has a fishing reel look to it, and cool dark mode it's got going on, and the numbers appear to be in DIYfferent font even, so you can't get mad at that. >>;=)
I carry one in my purse, for"emergencies"😁...hey, you never know when you will have to measure something!🤣👍💓 you guys!
Nice bath size. Moving forward. Nice tape measures. I have never seen some of those and their different features and colors. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Nice job. It always looks like a clean workspace. changing subjects, curious if the trailer is anchored.
Yep, it's anchored.
Great collection of tape measures. Never knew they were made so different. Can see why you like them.
We are a Milwaukee Tools family! We love all their power tools that we own!
Nice tape collection! 😀Framing is coming along nicely. 😊
I thought it was daughter helping you at first. Ashley is sneaky ha Get the boy in there and help move some 2x4’s. Good job Doug.!!
Eevee
Hi Doug and Eevee! I enjoyed the video! Ya'll have a restful weekend!🙋🌅🦩
Great progress. Love your emergency stash.
👏👏👏👏 Cheering you on!!
I always leave a tape measure in the area I'm working and one at the miter saw. Invariably they both end up at the same location. Keep up the good work people.
My guesses for the little nook are either a closet for coats, outdoor shoes and boots; alternatively it could be a laundry room.
Great job! You're making it look so easy. This seems to be so going quickly.😊
Cool dragonfly Maverick!
You guys take care!
Bye 👋
Love your choice of music.
Everything is coming together very well. 👋💕💕
My favorite morning video.....thank you! You two make things look so easy in the way you work together....such a joy to watch. The mobile is coming along so nicely. I didn't know there were so many different tape measures....interesting side note!❤
I am so impressed by your family. You are such a good teachers and hard workers... Thank you. God bless you all. I pray for your health, happiness and continued success.❤
It's looking more like a home.
I'm so excited we are at this point of adding walls! And by "we", I mean you because I live vicariously through your videos 😂😂😂
Dragon flies are our friends, they eat mosquitoes!!
2 more steps forward. I like it. I'm going to guess maybe besides being the rear entrance that it can house a washer & dryer? In that niche? It would be so convenient.
Yep :)
I look forward to watching you every morning while I have my morning coffee. Love you both. Such a great team.
Tape measures! Very cool.
This is so incredible. This is essentially a completely new home. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like.
That was a good bonus to the ending of another great video. Love your tape measuring collection.
Well, you’re really making progress with the mobile home project. 💪👏🏼☺️👋Bye Maverick ☺️
Is there a, "Where's the tape measure", t-shirt in the making❤❤❤
I love the self locking tape measures. So much easier to use!
Eevee, you are so cool, working construction with pigtails, a skirt and sunglasses. You rock!
I like the black tape. Jumped on here pronto, so I’ll count towards your YT algorithm!
You mobile home is coming along quickly now. 👏👏❤
Looking good you guys 👍
I came in from working outside, where the old man said "You can never have too many tape measures." And guess what today's side note is..😃 I like the ones with large numbers and fractions myself.
Does that glow in the dark?!?! Please use it once at night. 🤩
Looking forward to seeing more progress on your home 🏡 ❤😊
After seeing this, picked up a Lufkin. Thanks, Doug!
Loved the look on EEvie's face when you said I'll show you my tape measure collection.!there is a tape for measuring distance it throws out a lazer beam from the tape and gives you a digital read out. saw it on R&R buildings chanell.
Yeah, I've seen those for many years, but never had a good reason to buy one.
Laundry nook 👍🏼
Laundry room or closet would be my guess for the 'snug' room.
Probably laundry room of those two, as it's already near plumbing. Could be a kind of mud room, to wash all the garden dirt off before coming inside.
You 2 are moving right along & doing great work
Loved seeing your collection!
and here I thought all tape measures were created equal!
Love it! 👏👏 coming together 😮 Doug, you and Eevee have great vision. Thank you for sharing. Much love 🤗❤
Thank you for showing us your collection.
I had no idea that they make tape measures with the fractions on them - that's really great to know. I've got some pretty flimsy tape measures, so it would be nice to have one like the one you have. Thanks for showing us your collection.
Doug you need to find an old Tomboy Tools brand tape measure to that collection! Has all of the fractions on it. Its smaller but its also pink so easy to find!
And no guy is tempted to steal it?
@@ILGuy2012 exactly! They even had pink jumper cables. Ive never had anyone walk off with them LOL
The walls are looking good. The bathroom is perhaps going to be small but I have a rather small bathroom and it works for me. Is that nook perhaps a laundry area and/or utility room? Nice collection of tape measures. My husband and I find it handy to have several around the house for measuring this or that but I never gave much thought to some of the details you noted. Of all of the ones you showed, I might like the Lufkin the best.
We load up with the Harbor Freight 25' when they're free with coupon. Currently have 2 per room and shed, 1 on each porch and in each car, 6 in garage, separated out on workbench, in tool chest, on shelves on each side of the overhead door... Eventually will have 1 in each tool bucket, plumbing, electrical, painting, etc.
Pocket doors work well for the height problem.
I saw a video where a guy takes an old tape measure with a bad tape pulls it all the way out and ties a string with a pencil on the end. Then he pulls the pencil to make a mark, let’s go and the pencil retract to his belt nave having to put it in his pocket ever again.
I had a Klein tape measure that I carried for years, a friend grabbed my tap and when he retracted it it cut him really deep, stitches deep, I never realized how sharp the edges had become.
Good work, thanks for the content.
Thank you so much!
Hmmmm, my hubby has a birthday coming up. I think he's getting a Klein tape measure. He's got Stanley brand and they flop and twist. He'd love a wider, heavier model that doesn't do that. Maybe if they're not too pricey, I'll get him two - one for work and one for home. thanks for showing off your collection! I didn't realize that their features could vary so much.
Forget the cake, buy him the tape! Very thoughtful of you, and will certainly give more incentive for all the honey-do projects :) win-win for both of you lol!
Awesome progress!
Lookin good! Doug that’s so cool that you “collect” tape measures!! I thought I was alone in that!! 😂 I have a tape measure everywhere I may need one. My truck, the kitchen, my workshop has 3, where I do my Etsy shop has 2 😂 Until now, Milwaukee has been the best I’ve used. I have a 25’ and a 35’ and they are my go-to tapes. I now want one of those Lufkin tapes like you showed!! That black tape w neon green is just what I need! Easy to SEE lol. Love y’all!
