Doug, My respect for you went up even more when you didn't say anything bad when that nail went in. I would have let it rip, lol. You are good people. I hope it doesn't give you any trouble. Excited about seeing Mav's room completed. Take care of that arm, please.
Hi 👋 I dont throw my two cents in very often, because if I wait two minutes you have it figured out !!! My thought is to put a dummy window back in but replace the glass with mirrors, you wont have to redo that wall !!! Great build..Great Kids... 😊
Once I saw the damage it never crossed my mind that you wouldn't remove the ceiling. Ashley and Doug have high standards, they do not 'settle for less'. One of their many admirable traits. Maverick will soon have a special room to be proud of. Every bedroom will be uniquely awesome. I know your pride in the workmanship for your family is paramount. I cringed when you showed us the ungrounded outlet. Maybe not this month but I feel confident Doug's attention to detail has saved lives. Not all heroes wear capes.
You all will be much ‘happier’ with a new ceiling! The old one would have bothered you & you’d be forever unhappy with the old one until you finally ripped it out. 😊
YAY ! GO Maverick's room!! and then: whoa! Hope that heals up quick! Team work ! Great choice to take down the ceiling, that would have been tough working above your head getting it good enough to paint. Looking forward to the next video! 🦎🐛🐝🌻
It still amazes me how dreary the before can look and how cheery the after will be. This is such a pleasure to watch. It's a lot of work for you two but so worth it.
It is going to look SO good when finished. Looking at Belle's room is so fresh and beautiful, and Mavericks room will be just as unique for him! I know the overhead work is the hardest on your neck... but you are one determined dad to make everything excellent with the help from your sweet wife! A great team!!❤❤👏
Funny, I was watching you take down the ceiling and once it was down I took a deep breath of fresh air. I think you were right, it was better to take the old ceiling out. I learn so much from your channel. You two always do the right thing and make everything better and stronger and beautiful. I kept waiting for you son to pop up and smile, where was that boy,,,,lol.
You looked slightly bummed out about the ceiling wood, but you always make the right decision for your family. You are a one man demo machine, Doug! Lol! Ashley does so much work in the background! You are both such a good team together! Did I spy another antique mirror thru the doorway??? Oh my goodness! I'm really glad about that! If Maverick got to pick out colors, it will be fun to see his choices. Could you use the old ceiling wood to make furniture in the room or shelving in the closet? Oh my! I agreed with Ashley when that board slipped and the nail sticking out was so close to your face! You guys have accomplished so much on this property! It is coming together more with each project no matter how big or small. Take care.
You and Ashley have been doing this kind of work for years so I definitely trust your “big picture” foresight! I’m glad you didn’t get hurt when that board fell! Ashley your amazing organization skills make every job run smoothly. God bless y’all and see ya!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸
water damaged wood is rarely a treasure. Glad you ripped out that ceiling Wish you would wear gloves for that rough work. Kudos for your grit and your methodical approach.
I could watch you and Ashley work for hours! I believe in your process and it is so enjoyable for me to see your end results. Its great that you have started on Mavericks room. I can't wait to see the colors he chooses and the decorations he wants...:) I'll bet he is so excited after seeing how Belle's room came out. The best to all of you always, you deserve it! ❤❤❤❤ 😊
The whole time you were working on Belle's room, I thought the heater & mirror were by the entrance door. 😊 The picture you just showed threw me off. I like it even better there. The room is so light and soft. Love it.
Yay for Maverick getting his own room! I'll bet he is so happy. I would have taken the ceiling down too. Good choice there. Can't wait to see the progress on this room! Have a good week!
Your progressing well and I love the decision on your son’s bedroom next, I know he’s gonna feel privileged and then be comfortable in his own room, great work and decisions ❤🎉
You always make it seem easy, but we know it's not. Thanks for sharing and remember, it's ideal to refurbish old if possible, but sometimes it's more efficient to do it new.
Hi sweet family, Oh yeah it’s going to look so awesome just like the others, we done the same thing of just removing the old boards and it saved us so much time and looks 100% better on our sons room. No room for regrets, right? As always I really enjoyed your video and always look forward to the next one. Stay safe, happy and God Bless ❤
You make that look so easy. I am doing a little tear down of my shed and have to say that it never seems to go as easily as your projects have gone. Kudos for making it look easy when it really isn't.
The interior ceiling once the boards were removed is beautiful it really opened the room up. Too bad you can't leave it open. It's so beautiful to see the beams.
Your commitment to keeping the vintage look and feel in your house amazes me. In the end this of course is the right decision for Maverick's room. It's gonna be great!
Hey Doug and Ashley! Great demolition job! You and Ashley make a great team! Smart decision on the ceiling. I know as parents you want the best for your kiddo's! Exciting to see the next video! Take care, all of you! ❤
That was a wise decision on the ceiling, it was not going to paint well and the water stain and damage would eventually show though. Got a lot of work done. Thanks for sharing.
You amaze me with your enthusiasm, attention to detail, and perseverance. Sometimes with the amount of work it would be easy to become discouraged, but you and Ashley just keep on going and never seem to be nothing but positive. Maverick you will be proud of your new room. Look forward to see the finished look.
I think you made a good decision on the ceiling. I don't think you would have been happy if you had left it. Making great progress. Hugs and love from Mississippi ❤
You are absolutely correct, in the long run tearing out the ceiling is the way to go. Years ago i did a beaded ceiling repair on a front porch that had a roof leak, after 20 to 25 hours of scrape and sanding into it i realized that no way was it going to look good. I should have gone with my gut and just demoed and installed new from the beginning! Took 3 hours to tear out and 12 hours to put back. In the end the difference in the material size was not noticable from the front porch to the side and back porches, the new wood was about 5/8 of an inch narrower than the original.
Never seen a ceiling cut in half before. But looks like the best idea to limit the amount of work needed to fix the ceiling. Your improving it and bringing it correctly up to date also. Nice job.
Yeah a NEW video!! Recently found you guys & been binge watching... you're inspiring....this is what I've always wanted to do but no1 thought I could...THANKS YOU GUYS!! you've re-lit the passion I've always had to bring places back to life! Love ur videos & your family is beautiful ❤ love how you & Ashley are a team & your project are a family effort!! God bless you all!!
I can’t wait to see how Maverick decides to decorate his room 👍. If he grows up to be as tall as his Daddy - could you raise the ceiling???? I’m looking forward to seeing all the progress ! 😘❤️
Doug, it must be nice to be able to work on that ceiling without a ladder. There's no such thing as over engineering a thing, complicating a thing...so no worries. Make it the way that satisfies you.
Hi! I am wondering if you could save the goog ceiling boards for another project. Maybe a toy box? Or some shelves? You have a better imagination than I do! 😂 I love watching you all! I’ve been watching every episode..
No matter how much you had done to the old ceiling to make it look better, once you see something like that, YOUR eyes will always be drawn to that spot and you won’t be happy. Excited to see the rest of the room come together. (Hope that “owie” in the beginning is just a “paper cut” type of injury 😳.) ❤❤
I trust your decisions. You don't ever rush into anything but think it through and consider your options. I would hate to scrape and sand and try to repair the ceiling when it would be cleaner and faster to just put a new one. Knowing you, you will find a use for the old salvageable boards and chuck the old damaged ones. Sometimes when the budget is thin, these kinds of projects are really worthwhile and move you along in ways you didn't see. I can't wait to see Maverick's room. I loved Belle's room.
So enjoyed viewing the progress on your sons new room. I can’t tell you how satisfying it is to see all your accomplishments and what this beautiful hardworking family is up to. Take care dear ones.
You sound tired, giving your son's room with minimum renovation don't seem fair when you did more on your daughters room. I like that you decided to take down the ceiling. Take a breather to regain your strength from both properties. 💛
Good start to making Mavericks room great! That will leave a mark! A bit of bread crust & milk will draw out rust, dirt & infection. Missed Mavericks wonderful smiling face & his cheerful goodbye.
Oh great Doug, I also think this other bedroom reno won't be too difficult, so awesome a new wood ceiling and that wall with some new wood, and then you will pick a color for this bedroom that I am sure Maverick will love. Thanks again for sharing, wishing you all a blessed rest of your week, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗👍👏🙏💜💜💜
Great video guys. Doug's patience was tested for sure, haha. Handled it like a boss. Regardless of how you move forward, I'm just happy you take us with you for the journey.
A painted plywood and batten board ceiling (battens cover the joints) may be an easier and authentic style for this room. It won't match the rest of the home exactly, but could be an easier install and was once often used in older cottage style homes. I like that the home has eclectic and interesting features that don't all match but still fit the design/feel. Really enjoy your videos and adventures.
You could make planters with that old scrap wood? You seemed so bummed about getting rid of it but maybe make into something else? 🤷♀️ love you guys, keep up the awesome work! ❤
Great job. I love everything you do even if it’s different than my decor style. I’m also binge watching the MI double wide. I hope to hear Ashley in cam more like in the MI series. She is a treasure.
It was best not to try and save the ceiling. You got to do what you got to do. I'm sure Maverick will be excited just to get his own room. When that first wall board came looked like something happened. Ashley can real fast and picked up the board. I hope everything was okay. Stay safe Love you guys
Doug, My respect for you went up even more when you didn't say anything bad when that nail went in. I would have let it rip, lol. You are good people. I hope it doesn't give you any trouble.

Hi 👋 I dont throw my two cents in very often, because if I wait two minutes you have it figured out !!! My thought is to put a dummy window back in but replace the glass with mirrors, you wont have to redo that wall !!! Great build..Great Kids... 😊
That's a cute idea :)
@@diyfferent This idea is cute and also spawns other ideas like a framed chalkboard/cork board in that window placement.
I like the chalkboard idea even better than mirrors , in old schools the chalkboard would of been framed out much like a window...
Great idea, in my book. Mirrors always help to make a room look larger.❤️
I like the Mirrored Idea. Or a shelf with a light on top to display his favourite toys.
I know Maverick will be delighted with his new room when mom and dad are finished with it❤
Good decision. Once you’ve seen the water damage, you can’t un-see it. Your son deserves a solid, well constructed room.
Doug wouldn't have it any other way 👍 He's a perfectionist
Why aren't you putting up a dry wall ceiling?
Is Ashley homeschooling the children, I might have missed that video.
@@edithjohnson6835 Yep!
@@autumnmcclain5839 they prefer wood. And it would make this ceiling completely different from everything else in the house. 😊
Can you take that window opening and make it into shelves for toys and books storage. Boy's like to display their treasures

I think you made the right call on the ceiling. Maverick must be thrilled you're doing his room now. Can't wait to see it!
You all will be much ‘happier’ with a new ceiling! The old one would have bothered you & you’d be forever unhappy with the old one until you finally ripped it out. 😊
As usual you are doing a thorough job. I am looking forward to watching you put the room back together-even better than before.
My favorite RUclips channel. It’s so refreshing to watch your family work together to create a true family home. Much respect.
Thank you
YAY ! GO Maverick's room!! and then: whoa! Hope that heals up quick! Team work ! Great choice to take down the ceiling, that would have been tough working above your head getting it good enough to paint. Looking forward to the next video! 🦎🐛🐝🌻
I'd put a built-in shelf where the old window was. Keep you from having to patch..
I agree with you on scraping & start fresh. Great job as always!!
It still amazes me how dreary the before can look and how cheery the after will be. This is such a pleasure to watch. It's a lot of work for you two but so worth it.
It is going to look SO good when finished. Looking at Belle's room is so fresh and beautiful, and Mavericks room will be just as unique for him!

Hope you did not hurt yourself when that board fell on you. So smart taking down the celing dont want mold to set in. God blessyou guys.🍓🌴🤗
You and Ashley have been doing this kind of work for years so I definitely trust your “big picture” foresight! I’m glad you didn’t get hurt when that board fell! Ashley your amazing organization skills make every job run smoothly. God bless y’all and see ya!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸
water damaged wood is rarely a treasure. Glad you ripped out that ceiling Wish you would wear gloves for that rough work. Kudos for your grit and your methodical approach.
I always feel like I’ve been so productive after watching you two do all that work.
ME TOO! I get up & get busy! Watch you guys on my breaks lol
ME three! .. and then I just need a coffee to get started.. and then there's utube.. and all of a sudden.. that day has passed too.. 😅🥴🙈
I think it was a good call to replace the wood ceiling, you won’t regret it when it’s finished. I also like that you insulate your interior walls. 😊
I could watch you and Ashley work for hours! I believe in your process and it is so enjoyable for me to see your end results. Its great that you have started on Mavericks room.

Your progressing well and I love the decision on your son’s bedroom next, I know he’s gonna feel privileged and then be comfortable in his own room, great work and decisions ❤🎉
Excited to watch you create the perfect room for Maverick like you've done before. Lots of work, big reward.
Hi Doug I think you're one of the best in home renovation build things the way you like them to be 😊
Ouch! Sorry you got hurt, Doug. Maverick is going to enjoy a new bedroom.
With your beautiful new roof, Maverick will never have a leak in his bedroom.
You always make it seem easy, but we know it's not. Thanks for sharing and remember, it's ideal to refurbish old if possible, but sometimes it's more efficient to do it new.
It’s going to have a professional look when you are finished. So much better than trying to cover it up. Great work, as always.
Another one almost ready to be put back together, y'all are getting things done.
That was alot of work ! Can’t wait to see it finished . Such a hard working couple .
Hi sweet family,
Oh yeah it’s going to look so awesome just like the others, we done the same thing of just removing the old boards and it saved us so much time and looks 100% better on our sons room. No room for regrets, right?
As always I really enjoyed your video and always look forward to the next one.
Stay safe, happy and God Bless ❤
Can’t wait to see the end product. Your house is looking so amazing you guys. So much hard work!!
Anyone else loving that beam structure?
Yes!! How awesome would that look in a large den, with a huge fireplace!?
Great decision on the ceiling.
One step at a time. Great video.
You make that look so easy. I am doing a little tear down of my shed and have to say that it never seems to go as easily as your projects have gone. Kudos for making it look easy when it really isn't.
You sure did alot of work tearing the ceiling down! Sorry you got hurt! I missed seeing Maverick at the end saying goodbye! Hugs!!! :)
The interior ceiling once the boards were removed is beautiful it really opened the room up. Too bad you can't leave it open. It's so beautiful to see the beams.
I know Maverick is excited. I can see his big grin now.
Your commitment to keeping the vintage look and feel in your house amazes me. In the end this of course is the right decision for Maverick's room. It's gonna be great!

@HB make sure you go back & watch all their past projects. I’ve been following them for years. Their projects get better & better
Best long term solution. You will love the room when it’s done.
I just know it is going to be an amazing transformation, great job
It would be really cool to make a cathedral ceiling in that room.
Ya he could put in a place for maverick up hi, like a fort just for him and use it as storage when maverick goes off to collage.
Excited to see Mav’s room redo ! You do such quality work ❤️
Love your channel! So inspiring! Can't wait to hear all about what you are going to do in Maverick's room!
Good decision Doug and Ashley. Looking forward to the next video.
I agree. There are times when replacement makes the most sense.
Great call...sometimes you just have to do what you got to do !
Wow, you don't mess around. Looking forward to seeing Mavericks room done.
Thanks for sharing with us. Nice job.👍🏼
Poor Doug ouch! I really hope Maverick still likes pirates I'd love to see the nautical theme 😊 great work as always 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Maverick room is going to be amazing ❤
i'm sorry doug that happened to you; and it made me so sad when ashley got scared for you. dang it guys
I can’t wait to see how Maverick decides to decorate his room 👍.
If he grows up to be as tall as his Daddy - could you raise the ceiling????
I’m looking forward to seeing all the progress ! 😘❤️
Doug, it must be nice to be able to work on that ceiling without a ladder. There's no such thing as over engineering a thing, complicating a thing...so no worries. Make it the way that satisfies you.
Wow! Once you get started ripping out the ceiling, you are a power house!
You made a great call to remove the ceiling.
It will hurt the wallet, but in the long run….well worth it👍🏻
Thanks for sharing😊
Have a great week!
I love the remodel of your rooms. It's so much fun to watch. You do a wonderful job.
You all deserve a beautiful bedroom and home

Well, it opens now you can insulate the ceiling. 😊

so glad Maverick will have his bedroom hugssss
Love your channel.. 🌲
sending love from Oregon 🌷
LOVE THE PEACE SIGN WINDOW COVER, HAVE A BLESSED AND HAPPY WEEK.
Square nails are pre 1880s. Good way to dare your home. Great job guys.
Good start to making Mavericks room great! That will leave a mark! A bit of bread crust & milk will draw out rust, dirt & infection.
Missed Mavericks wonderful smiling face & his cheerful goodbye.
That is a lot of work! When we were younger we remodeled several houses so we know what you are going through. Great job 👍
Lookin good y’all! Love y’all! Gonna b awesome to see the new!!
Good work! I am anxious to see the finishes you pick for Maverick 😁😇
Oh great Doug, I also think this other bedroom reno won't be too difficult, so awesome a new wood ceiling and that wall with some new wood, and then you will pick a color for this bedroom that I am sure Maverick will love. Thanks again for sharing, wishing you all a blessed rest of your week, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗👍👏🙏💜💜💜
Great video guys. Doug's patience was tested for sure, haha. Handled it like a boss. Regardless of how you move forward, I'm just happy you take us with you for the journey.
Good morning! This will be another fun and exciting project! Yay! 🎉
I’v been watching you guys for years. Love it
Wow! What about a vaulted ceiling?! I guess you’d have to re-do Belle’s room but … 🤔
❤❤❤ A new undertaking. Can’t wait to see the transformation.
I think you made the right decision all work that you and Ashley do is the right choice ❣️❣️❣️
You are making steady progress!!! 👍😎❤️
A painted plywood and batten board ceiling (battens cover the joints) may be an easier and authentic style for this room. It won't match the rest of the home exactly, but could be an easier install and was once often used in older cottage style homes. I like that the home has eclectic and interesting features that don't all match but still fit the design/feel. Really enjoy your videos and adventures.
You could make planters with that old scrap wood? You seemed so bummed about getting rid of it but maybe make into something else? 🤷♀️ love you guys, keep up the awesome work! ❤
I can't wait to see his room done
So much hard work, with your hands over your head! I hope you give your body a little time to recoup!
Paint a board with chalkboard paint to patch up the window. Frame it out with a ledge for the chalk and eraser.. Easy peasy!
Great job. I love everything you do even if it’s different than my decor style. I’m also binge watching the MI double wide. I hope to hear Ashley in cam more like in the MI series. She is a treasure.
Another great video to watch after work while eating dinner...............
It was best not to try and save the ceiling.
You got to do what you got to do.
I'm sure Maverick will be excited just to get his own room.
When that first wall board came looked like something happened. Ashley can real fast and picked up the board.
I hope everything was okay.
Stay safe
Love you guys
