    Oh, guys, I feel your pain. I spent my first 45 years living in an old 1850's era house, complete with square nails and horse hair plaster. It was a perpetual fixer upper. Every project started turned into two or three more before it was finished. On the positive, I acquired quite a repertoire of DIY skills thanks to that old house. When you can't afford to call someone, you learn to do it yourself. I can repair plumbing and plaster, build a deck, and replace doors and windows. Not bad for a girl. I'm a renter now. But I still miss "fixing stuff." I love your fixer-upper videos. It's the next best thing to doing it myself. Great work, you two!

    mom said "just don't open the door. this will not end well." My dad opened the door to the small enclosed closet next to the water heater as there were pipes leading into and back out of this 2-foot door. the room was as small as the door in depth and width. several rusted pipes entered and exited the room. the wood rot was extensive not allowing a door to be rehung. Dad did a lot of the work which included several adjoining rooms. It took over a year and cost approximately $10,000 in the '80s. every time he winced or complained mom said: "I told you not to open the door." lol

    That was a speckled king snake (not poisonous) and good because they eat poisonous snakes and rodents. I save the ones I find and rehome them back into our forested area on our property to keep the chickens from playing tug 'o war with them and eating them.
    Great job on the house and I love seeing the progress. It reminds me of my husband and I and our great big remodeling jobs we take on constantly. I'm looking forward to your next video! Be safe out there!

  • @Markdodge126
    @Markdodge126 5 лет назад +2

    You made the right decision to start on the outside. You don't want the pretty inside getting damaged by anything outside like leaks, mice etc etc. I must say, you two have a work ethic and lifestyle that's not common in this era. Bravo to you two for raising kids this way. 👏

  • @johanlaurasia
    @johanlaurasia 5 лет назад +5

    When you install the drip edge, be sure not to push it up against the facia board tight, there should be a gap (I can see a small gap, but technically it should be about the thickness of your finger away from the facia board. Try to match the distance away from the facia board that the current drip edge that's currently there is. The drip edge is bent out so that water will wick away from the house, and if it's against the board, it'll wick under and will be contacting the facia board, and can (through capillary action) soak up into the facia board (rotting it out), and get the roof covered ASAP! Also, if you're not going to cap it with new aluminum, you can always paint, but be sure to get all that done ASAP.

    @robinr.770 5 лет назад +3

    You know what? I love the filtered light in the front yard. Taking out those trees made a positive impact, despite the need to clear workspace across the front side of the home. And I know the quality of work you and Ashley perform will not only strengthen your home, it will be beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing what Ashley decides to plant in the flower beds in the front of the house. Wonderful work! One step closer each and every day. Thanks.

    Wow, what a beautiful NEW house you will have when you are finished. Love watching you! Good morning from Pennsylvania! Weather is beautiful here! After I finish watching this I am going out to work in my yard! What a difference in the front of your house. I am in the process of weed eating my front bank. It takes me along time..bit by bit because I am 69 yrs old but love my yard and I am off to hang clothes out in my line and work outside. Can’t wait for your next video!

  • @picketfence2028
    @picketfence2028 5 лет назад +2

    It's going to be a whole new house! So essentially Doug you are a better builder than the roofing contractor. This brings back so many memories of my husband and I building our first house, now we're working on our last. We used to give each other that side of the eye look like, 'are you kidding me, climb up there?!' Ug, it was way more work back when we did it all ourselves,, but we were younger and less arthritic! We're still doing 80% of the work ourselves, just not the stuff we hate. Any type of construction is labor intensive, and you guys have added work of 'demo and discovery' with renovation! Ashley, you crack me up,..."bye". ;)

  • @rikkitikkitavi997
    @rikkitikkitavi997 5 лет назад +2

    I like the positive attitude your family has and the way you handle problems. Nothing ever seems to overwhelm you. One of the reasons I watch is because of the systematic approach you give to a task. It gives me satisfaction to see each task complete and then on to the next. No loose ends.
    Another reason I watch is to see what Belle is doing. She’s a sweet young lady with good ideas too.
    Thank you.

    I do love how you just carry on and fix things as you go, no biggy deal. They sure did have water damage in the front there and why did they not take care of it. I know lumber costs can soar, I find that up here in BC, but you can find scrap wood that is often still very usable. Take care you two.

  • @trinam2503
    @trinam2503 5 лет назад +4

    I agree with Ashley! Its gotta go! It looks so much better without the scraggly plants. 😀 I know the curb appeal of planting against the house is nice. But I have seen so much damage to siding cause by the bugs, rodents, and small birds that live in the shrubs and small trees that are popular for flower beds. And I have seen cracked sidewalks and foundations from trees planted to close. You probably dont have to worry about this where you are, but shrubs planted close to the house are also a good place for burglars/peeping toms to hide.

I wouldn't be surprised that after you've finished your home and yard there will be many knocking at your door for all kinds of advice on their homes , and most likely hoping for doing the work for them. You'll be really rolling in the dough. Your daughter is one with nature. I admired how she was so brave handling that snake! Keep up the good work. I hope your donkey and pony are doing well, and your chickens. Wow they have really grown. As I've said it many times before, you all are so inspiring!😊

    You are doing the work like people who plan to live there, not just doing a quick patch and go job. I think the chimney was a tacked on afterthought with the rafters just cut off and the weather proofing left for another day that never came. It already looks so much better after your work to true it up, I hope you will get it weather proofed before too much rain attacks. You two really have the look of people investing in your future. Stick with it and may the weather gods smile on your work. I am really looking forward to seeing the new front installed.
