Hi Holgate Family! You are so lucky with the recovery from your flood. It appears to have gone so smoothly. Being able to move into your new home on the same day that you find out you have become homeless is amazing. To have resolved your living situation so quickly is fantastic. I know that moving all of your possessions is not something that you are looking forward to, but now you have the opportunity to re-organize your stuff. Please look on the positive side of this experience, you are still living in the same neighbourhood, you are still dealing with the same landlord (Wow, they really came through for you with the new up-dated unit), your cat survived the experience and all of you are together. To have most of your belongings moved over in three days is outstanding. Hope your insurance covers the cost of everything that was ruined by the water. You have lived through a fire, this situation will be a cake walk for your family. All the best to you Stephen, Bryan, Kenzie and "The Pretties" ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 James🏳🌈
I’m so sorry this happened. You all have really been through so much over the years and have handled it all with such grace. What an example you are setting for Kenzie on how to deal with life’s obstacles. Wishing you nothing but sunshine & rainbows from here on out!
My wife is passamaquoddy ..it's part of the mic Mac tribes on the east coast from souther new Hampshire to South Easter canada ! Finding the silver lining in the storm cloud is a true gift and you are well on the way holgate family !
Love you guys! I am 69 years old and love your attitudes and finding a silver lining in the bad times. Thank you for making me smile. You are enjoying life. Look forward to your videos!
You are really amazing, the way you all reacted to that crises is incredible very calm and collected. I’ll be panicking and depressed. You are such a great role models. Hopefully you get some well needed rest. Lots of love 💕
I survived two floods and could have had more. After searching for the cause, the plumber discovered it was under a slab of cement, the floor had to be jackhammered to get to a broken pipe flap designed to keep water from backing up into the house. Water back up happened from the storm drain and heavy rains. The flap is supposed to open one way (out, not in). There was an opening to supposedly get to the flap, but it was far too small, who knew. They should have known. Because we’re told these flaps often break, the opening is now larger and we won’t have to jackhammer the floor again. No floods since, knock(ing) on wood. ❤❤❤
Look at how resilient you all are!!! You took that flood and really rolled with the punches and kept pushing, I'm truly amazed at how well you handled it all. I would have been immobilized for weeks. Y'all just slay each freaking day! Bravo! Wishing you all the happiest memories in this new home 🍾
had a pioe burst in MN in February and plumbers could get out for 3 days so I sent the kids to the neighbors, went to home depot and found an employee who told me what I would need. I bought a blow torch, steel wool, flux and a heat shield and went home and soldered that pipe myself. Kids were at the neighbors in case I burned the house down. I hate plumbing to this day.
Ok....wow! That's alot! But you guys have handled it effortlessly as it seems.... although I'm sure it didn't for a moment feel like it..... so glad that even in some not so great moments..... all your big beautiful lights just a shined! It will be fun for us to get to feel how weird it is for your home to flip with you.... bc we will all be flipping together! You guys are what magic is made of! Love y'all!
Oh my-I’m so sorry for the disaster that you had to come home to after your vacation. It breaks my heart to see you in the other unit with no furniture and having to sit on the floor. It is amazing how you are so resilient and can find ways to keep each other smiling throughout such a difficult transition. You are all in my prayers that you can get settled in soon 🙏🏻😢
I am so happy the universe gifted you the best way to deal with an awful situation! You are all safe, and dry cleaning and picture recovery can work wonders to save the most precious items exposed to water. Please be cautious of mold exposure as your old place dries out (assuming the properties share a wall). I can’t wait to see the “new home scent” Ditty picks❤
So sorry to see your home was flooded. What a nightmare after such a wonderful cruise. So glad you were able to get new accommodation so quick. Its a huge task to get everything back in order. However on the plus side your coming across all the good memories of things you have done and had put away in a cupboard. Your Paris Hilton Bff . Was nice to see that .and your paintings. Hope you get all settled in and can relax .look forward to your next vacation❤❤❤
So extremely sorry that this happened to you. As many have said you have had your share of stressful things to deal with over the years. You handled things so calmly while focusing on your family and the fur babies. Honestly so inspirational!!! I am happy that you were able to salvage many of your belongings and things are coming together as smoothly as they can under the circumstances. I love the makeshift living room and how you take some time to decompress together at the end of each day. It's those moments that mean so much. Much love to you all. xoxo
I knew this video would be coming and was sort of dreading it. So glad you were able to move into a new place right away! I hope you, Dad, Kenzie and the pretties have gotten settled in! ❤
I am so sorry this happened to you and your family. (including the creepy man in the van ) Yes I have had a flood in my townhome before. It was on Christmas day of 2022. Our neighbors pipes burst. Luckily, we were home when it happened. The fire department came and turned the water off. It was difficult because it was the holidays. However, our managers came and cleaned up the place and it was pretty quick. We were pretty lucky. I can’t imagine what it would’ve looked like if we were not home. Our neighbors were away for Christmas, so they were very happy that we stayed. You guys are a wonderful family. No matter where you lay your head, as long as you are all together, your home! ❤️
I'm so so SO sorry that this happened to y'all. We were very happy to hear that there was another space available for y'all to move into though. Fate sometimes lines itself up like that. Also, Stephen, I LOVE that you have such an affection for Pete's Dragon. It is my favorite Disney movie. I'm 47 years old, and have been loving that movie for some 40+ years. You can sing ANY song from that movie that you want as far as I'm concerned, and I'm fine if you want to watch it every night. Y'all take care for now, and we wish you the best moving forward in your new home. Have a brazzle dazzle day!!! :)
Oh my goodness! I hope you're all settled in your new place. So devastating and nit just once but twice. You all handled it much better than I would have. With love anything is possible.
So sorry you went through this 😢 I had a flooding experience when I was living alone a few days before I had my first child, work was not carried out on my rented home when it was supposed to be, the pipes were so old, rusted and burst on the top floor, all the items I had brought for my new baby were damaged so badly with rust water, nothing could be saved, its heartbreaking, i did not have another home to move into so returned to my patents, I had my first son shortly after and the heartbreak was soon forgotten. Always silver linings to every dark cloud 🌥 🌈 ❤
Ohhh no!! I used to work a disaster remediation company. Call your insurance right away and don’t let it sit long or you’ll start the mold growing process. If you need any advice I’m here to help with anything
Aww i'm sorry you had to deal with this on your return! Thankfully they could have you move into the new place quickly, it's going to be beautiful again once you get settled, sending love from Wales x
Oh wow I’m so so sorry this happened to your family. I can’t even imagine how stressful this must’ve been 😞 I truly admire how your family handles hiccups!
Wow that's horrible. And your still singing and smiling. You all handled it with such grace. My heart goes out to you. I'm so glad you found another house to move in so fast. Sending so much love❤❤❤❤ Amy....
Mobbing sucks for sure! I have been living in my apartment since 2010. I am in my 50’s, and I wouldn’t be able to move all this stuff to another place without help either. Glad you guys were able to get right in to another place. You’ll get it all back up the way you had it, it just takes time. I know it’s frustrating to have to go through all of that but at least you have your whole family together. ❤
You handled this flood situation so well. Wow . I would have been a crying mess. You are so good at problem solving. After this you will need a weekend getaway to recover from the stress. I’m sure you will make your home beautiful again in no time.
Diddy, what a situation for you to return from your trip and find your house in this state, I was touched by you, your sensitivity, I'm sure it touches all your followers. I hope you didn't miss anything that might be important to your memories. May you be happy in this new cycle, which I am sure will not lack love ❤️
OMG I can't even imagine! I'm so grateful your home association (?) had an available condo!! I hope you didn't lose anything sentimental! Sending all my love!
Omg breaks my heart this happened to you all, but despite all of it you all just are so positive and joyful about every situation and outcome, it’s truly inspiring and the world needs that more of your energy! ❤️ cannot wait to see how you decorate the new place!
My heart went out to you guys watching this. My house flooded from a burst pipe in the 2021 freeze and spent about 7 months living in a hotel….watching this brought back a lot of memories. So sorry you had this happen!
Wow! Sad that happened, but fortunately you guys had a nice community next door to help you guys out a lot. It was meant to be. Still, crazy that happened after a great time. Then moving and such. Reminds me of when my grams apartment unit was flooded for the same reason with a pipe burst, but was caused by the kid that lived above her. Still have to get used to this layout. We have cava in my city right down the street from me. I need to go there now. That food looked good!
Oh no....That is crazy! I'm so sorry that happened to you. My father would turn off the water before a vacation, and we all thought he was paranoid. You need another vacation to recover from all that!
My water heater got a crack and leaked water for a LONG time. It was in a storage closet that i had crammed with junk. (I'm sort of a hoarder). The carpet and floor were saturated and sagging, then the floor collapsed! There went my hoard, my library all the clothes got musty, and my leather jacket and shoes molded. It's not repaired properly, but there's nothing in it!!!
😮 Yikes!!! First the stateroom change while on vaca.. just to come hm to a nasty flood & forgetting you had an empty gas tank due to the flooding chaos, I can see the disappointment in both of you. Yet, you appeared to have kept your wits entact and kept it moving(no pun intended). Which was a positive for baby girl & the pretties. ❤ Keep your heads up even though it's stressful. When you've finally settled in, and begin creating new memories in your new place, this unfortunate moment will pass. Blessings to you all Holgate family. YOU GOT(SIC) THIS!!!🥰😘 ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤ 🏡🧔♂️👱👱♀️🐈🦮🐕🦺
Flood story….Two of my former co-workers and friends, who were a couple, worked and saved up for their first home, moved in, set it up, it was so gorgeous, and then a month later…Hurricane Harvey hit. They lived about 3 blocks from the bayou and that thing just drowned their house. They didn’t even have time to just like normally evacuate because the water came in so fast that they had to grab their dogs, and literally climb onto the roof and spend the night up there until the morning when they were finally able to get someone to come by on a boat to get them down. INSANE! I had to stop myself from crying when a bunch of us came over to help with the clean up. There was so much random stuff in their backyard, like part of a trampoline, and these random chairs, and stuff from other people’s yards. You could see the water line inside the house on the walls. Nothing was salvageable, their car was destroyed. It just makes me want to throw up even years later because I know how hard they worked to get their first home together and to make it so nice.
Wow! I am so sorry this happened to y'all. So happy to know you are all safe though!!! The light your family brings to all of us, makes me believe you will always be better on the other side of hard times.
Oh my heart, when you put that into the last cruise video... I was like a aaaahhhhh I hope they are. Okay. Yall handled this like you do al things in life, positivity and humor cause what else can you really do. So glad you were able to move into the upside Down house, can't wait to see the decorating and alllll that jazz. Glad yall are okay and Diddy you kicked butt getting the cruise videos out while doing all that.... Dude. You freaken rock!!!!!!!!
I am so sorry to hear about this. On the other hand you are stronger now then ever. Keep on rocking and know that we are all enjoying your positive vibes even though it could have been worse. Possible Vibes are all for you guys.
Joe and I are so sorry you came home to a flooded house. We can’t imagine. Hopefully the transition to the new place continues to go smoothly. Jen and Joe xo
So I have a flood story. I used to work at a school called SWIHA South West Institute of Healing Arts. Well on a Thanksgiving weekend the school bathroom pipe burst and it burst through the tile. It was a converted old bowling alley so the water flowed down the ramp and it collected three feet from the ground on the walls. An employee had stopped by to check on it and saw a broken window and then opened the door to water flowing out. It was a nightmare.
I’m so glad you guys survived, your terrible surprise . I’m sending hugs 🤗 🤗 🤗, did the corporate office offer to replace any of your damaged items? Did they offer to move you over to the other townhouse? Did you find out anything about the man who was stalking your house? I hope nothing was stolen? Companies like that use shady people for one reason, they are cheap. It’s all about profit. I hope you are happy , and soon feel settled, in your new home. The reverse layout of the house, reminds me of Alice through the looking glass, everything was the same but , was reversed. Try not to be too hard on yourself for running out of gas , I imagine you probably felt emotionally triggered, having to deal with another disaster in your home. I hope everything gets back to normal for you all, quickly. ❤
Our condo had water problems back in 2016. 🙁 I was out of my bedroom for six months while everything was being fixed. I'm glad that y'all have a new townhouse to stay in. And I hope that everything works out in the end for all of you. 🙏🏻
Ugh what an awful way to come home from a cruise to your house being flooded! I loved all the Pete’s dragon songs you were singing! Yes our basement flooded years ago when it got really cold apparently they didn’t properly insulate the one wall of our house and the pipes froze going up from the basement to the master bedroom. Then the pipe burst when it unfroze and I woke up to the air conditioner sump pump going off like crazy and I was like what it’s winter why is that going off! I ran downstairs and water was pouring out of the ceiling and the whole finished basement was flooded! Luckily I knew where the water shut off valve is and turned that off! Sadly my husbands comic book collection got ruined! We had to gut the basement and it was a nightmare!
So sorry your house flooded! My parent's basement flooded twice with knee deep water. Long story short the city fixed the drainage problem with the road and it hasn't flooded since. Glad you guys recovered ❤
Welll, fudge. You guys had a “interesting “ welcome home. I hope everything is so much better now and sending you guys all good vibes. I need to watch Pete’s dragon now.
Im so sorry you guys had to come home to a leaking house. Let the new memories begin! Thank you for sharing your cruise with us. What is your next cruise?
SO sorry this happened to you!! But if it had to happen thank God there was an exact, but backwards townhome available for you!! Living in a hotel would be a nightmare! Glad you got the cops on that shady guy! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. 💗
I’m behind on vlogs and I watched the most recent one like wait…. Am I crazy I’m so happy you all were able to get settle so fast wow I was tripping out
O my goodness I am so sorry you all had to deal with that! But the way y’all pushed through and kept smiling and being your Goofy 😜 selves is inspiring! Your family is amazing and deserves all good things!
Oh my gosh, what an awful thing to happen! You all handled this whole situation with so much grace. I’m excited to see how you do up your new backwards spot in the upside down ♥️♥️♥️☀️
I’m so sorry this happened but I’m glad yall were able to move somewhere so quickly! It’s so weird seeing everything opposite! Sending good vibes and hugs to yall 🥰🥰
Hello loving family, I’m so so sorry this has happened to you, it’s a nightmare to come home too, and poor Kittie. But like everyone says you handled this with so much grace, you are so resilient and I think the only reason you handled this like you did is you still have each other and all 3 pets are safe, and this shows again how much love can do. It’s also why this duplicate house was waiting for you (karma) you deserved this like no one else on this platform. But I know this must have been very stressful and I hope you didn’t lose anything that’s sentimental. I can’t wait to see you new decorations and furniture it will be so cozy and warm. You guys are the most sensitive, warm caring loving people on earth, lots off strength coming your way, love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg wtf? As if moving isn’t stressful enough and coming from home vacation is so sad then you come home from vacation and surprise you’re moving! I’m so sorry that’s how your fabulous cruise ended 🥺 I’m so glad your community had another unit for you to move into. And poor Menunckey! First a fire, then a flood! That’s crazy! I hope your insurance covers the damage and that you like your new couch more than your last 💜💜 Ok so my flood story isn’t as dramatic but you should get a good laugh. A month ago I was filling the Brita pitcher up on the counter and had to pee. So I leave the pitcher filling thinking I’ll be right back. In the 30 seconds it took me to pee I forgot about the pitcher filling and sat down to watch TV. A solid hour later it occurs to me that there’s what sounds like pouring rain but I know it’s not raining. A horror comes over me and I run into the kitchen to find a solid inch and a half of water. I’m sure my husband loved the text at work asking how to convert the shop vac so that I can vacuum up water. #Stonerproblems 😅😅😅😅
Sending hugs to you. I can't even imagine coming home to that after the great vacation you had. I am so sorry this happened. Glad you ended up with a new place but I do have to agree that would take some getting use to. The same townhouse but backwards. I home all is going well for the three of you now. My best wishes for the best family on youtube. My rainbow color is yellow.
Oh my gosh how chaotic is that to come home to a flood after vacation?! My house and life is crazy 24/7 i would not have handled it as well as y’all. sorry y’all went through this. and why does the whole flipped lay out throw me off while watching the vlog 😂🤦🏻♀️
Hey besties!!! I hate that you guys came from your cruise to a flooded house! But how lucky are you that you got to move into a townhouse in your community! I can’t image how backwards you guys feel, because I feel backwards watching your vlogs! 🤣🤣🤣. You did a great job moving in so quickly! And boy do I love that Kermit! Love ya! ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ohhh Holgate family, I'm so SORRY you had to come home to a flood. I'm happy you were able to move right next door quickly. You guys are Amazing and Strong. Love ya❤❤
Yikes! It is so fortunate that there was another unit available. I hate that someone was trying to possibly steal from you guys, there are so many bad peeps in this world. Glad things aren't as bad as they could have been. Blue, purple, green , orange for all my favorite people in my life. If I missed one of them I will find out later haha. But those will be my colors for now.
I have missed you guys!!! I got logged out of my RUclips account and had to figure out how to get my account back. Well i made it and you guys are the first account I’m getting caught up on. Your house 😢you both handled this remarkably with the best attitudes. Hope y’all are doing well. I’ll be commenting as I’m getting caught up on each episode. I love you Didi, Dad and Kenzie girl. So glad to be back! Hugs amazing family. 💕💕💕💕 btw yes I’ve had the pipes burst and we had to go to a hotel for a month during covid it was NUTS! Anyway, gotta get caught up with you all. Love you family!
Oh sending hugs to you all, such a shock to come home too, must have been awful ❤ how blessed you are to have the home right next door available, fur babies seemed happy to see kitty 🐱 love to you all ❤❤❤
Omg what a terrible time you have had 😢You are however half Disney and so of course there were silver linings, frogs and humour. Love you guys. Don’t seat the small stuff. Everyone is safe xxxxx
I just got sad news of the loss of my former gymnastics coach. Because I was down, I was not sure if I was up for Holgate cheer. Then I see you had your own challenges. I am very sorry about the flood, disoriented pets, thieves stalking your stuff 😮, and the gas diabolical. I love how you keep your adorable chins up even when the going gets tough. 🩵
I am so sorry that happened to y'all! It was such good fortune to be able to make the "lateral" move into another townhome so quickly though.Hoping you continued to get settled without any more issues 😢
Well that doesn't seem like a Magical Day. So sorry. Hope you get settled into your new place. A fire and a flood. That is nuts!!! Thinking of you all and praying for you.....
I am so sorry you guys are going through this. I know were watching this in February and this happened in January but I hope your house isn't ruined and you can go back soon😢
What a positive family! Stephen and Bryan such angels. Returning from a cruise on a high to arrive at a disaster would ruin many people’s spirits. I know we don’t see everything that happens but these situations really suck. Bryan is so calm and patient, does get ever lose it? I could never be so nice lol! I presume you are back to your place now. The pets must be traumatized them poor babies. Hope life has returned slightly to normal pace. ❤️❤️🩷
I’m not surprised you are so on top of what goes on in your neighborhood. You’re Dads. I don’t know a Dad that is not aware of his surroundings. Dads want to protect those they love right? You’re no different my dears. However being a bit more aware of your Gas gauge might be helpful in future. 😂 sending you love and good vibes. Hugs from Houston ❤
Hi Holgate Family! You are so lucky with the recovery from your flood. It appears to have gone so smoothly. Being able to move into your new home on the same day that you find out you have become homeless is amazing. To have resolved your living situation so quickly is fantastic. I know that moving all of your possessions is not something that you are looking forward to, but now you have the opportunity to re-organize your stuff. Please look on the positive side of this experience, you are still living in the same neighbourhood, you are still dealing with the same landlord (Wow, they really came through for you with the new up-dated unit), your cat survived the experience and all of you are together. To have most of your belongings moved over in three days is outstanding. Hope your insurance covers the cost of everything that was ruined by the water. You have lived through a fire, this situation will be a cake walk for your family. All the best to you Stephen, Bryan, Kenzie and "The Pretties" ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 James🏳🌈
You’re the best, James! Thank you so much for always being so kind to us!

You had your most valuables.The three of you plus those adorable animals.Can not be better then that.

I don’t know how you were able to still laugh and smile during this! What a terrible turn of events! So glad it all worked out !
Look at how resilient you all are!!! You took that flood and really rolled with the punches and kept pushing, I'm truly amazed at how well you handled it all. I would have been immobilized for weeks. Y'all just slay each freaking day! Bravo! Wishing you all the happiest memories in this new home 🍾
Could not have said it better myself. They slay it every day. Truly an inspiration.
You are the best! Thank you!

You 3 are family goals. How you all kept it together is
Inspiring. We love your family.

So sorry to see your home was flooded. What a nightmare after such a wonderful cruise. So glad you were able to get new accommodation so quick. Its a huge task to get everything back in order. However on the plus side your coming across all the good memories of things you have done and had put away in a cupboard. Your Paris Hilton Bff . Was nice to see that .and your paintings. Hope you get all settled in and can relax .look forward to your next vacation❤❤❤
Aw thank you so much ❤️
I’m so sorry, Guys. Like you, I have so many treasures, all associated with memories. You’re holding it together better than I would!
Aw thank you so much!

Kenzie is such a sweet girl. Keep spoiling her in all the right ways. She deserves it!
Thank you so much!
I knew this video would be coming and was sort of dreading it. So glad you were able to move into a new place right away! I hope you, Dad, Kenzie and the pretties have gotten settled in! ❤
Aw thank you!
Aww poor Menunckey! Glad she was ok after this big ordeal and that you were all able to settle in quickly!

Aww i'm sorry you had to deal with this on your return! Thankfully they could have you move into the new place quickly, it's going to be beautiful again once you get settled, sending love from Wales x
You’re the best. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow I’m so so sorry this happened to your family. I can’t even imagine how stressful this must’ve been 😞 I truly admire how your family handles hiccups!
Aww thanks Jesse.. appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
Wow that's horrible. And your still singing and smiling. You all handled it with such grace. My heart goes out to you. I'm so glad you found another house to move in so fast. Sending so much love❤❤❤❤ Amy....
Awww thanks so much ❤️😘
Mobbing sucks for sure! I have been living in my apartment since 2010. I am in my 50’s, and I wouldn’t be able to move all this stuff to another place without help either. Glad you guys were able to get right in to another place. You’ll get it all back up the way you had it, it just takes time. I know it’s frustrating to have to go through all of that but at least you have your whole family together. ❤
That’s awful! I’m glad you guys didn’t have to go into a hotel and were able to get another place right away.
Thanks April ❤️ love ya
You handled this flood situation so well. Wow . I would have been a crying mess. You are so good at problem solving. After this you will need a weekend getaway to recover from the stress. I’m sure you will make your home beautiful again in no time.
Aww thank you so much! 🥹🥹❤️
Diddy, what a situation for you to return from your trip and find your house in this state, I was touched by you, your sensitivity, I'm sure it touches all your followers. I hope you didn't miss anything that might be important to your memories. May you be happy in this new cycle, which I am sure will not lack love ❤️
Aww thank you 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG I can't even imagine! I'm so grateful your home association (?) had an available condo!! I hope you didn't lose anything sentimental! Sending all my love!
Thank you so much! Thankfully we didn’t lose anything sentimental.
Big hugs ❤️❤️
oh gosh you have been in the wars...throws rabbit feet and four leaf clovers your way! Sings "the only way is up!" ♥
Thank you!
Omg breaks my heart this happened to you all, but despite all of it you all just are so positive and joyful about every situation and outcome, it’s truly inspiring and the world needs that more of your energy! ❤️ cannot wait to see how you decorate the new place!
Thank you Shannon! Love ya ❤️
Also, I love that you love 'Traitors.' Alan Cumming is genuinely one of my favorite people on the planet!!!
Me too! Such a good show!
OMG! That's horrible that you had to come home to that. Glad your cat was safe. Many blessings to the Holgate family 🙏🙏🙏🤗😊
My heart went out to you guys watching this. My house flooded from a burst pipe in the 2021 freeze and spent about 7 months living in a hotel….watching this brought back a lot of memories. So sorry you had this happen!
Aw thank you so much ❤️ so sorry you had to go thru it too!
Wow! Sad that happened, but fortunately you guys had a nice community next door to help you guys out a lot. It was meant to be. Still, crazy that happened after a great time. Then moving and such. Reminds me of when my grams apartment unit was flooded for the same reason with a pipe burst, but was caused by the kid that lived above her. Still have to get used to this layout. We have cava in my city right down the street from me. I need to go there now. That food looked good!
Oh no....That is crazy! I'm so sorry that happened to you. My father would turn off the water before a vacation, and we all thought he was paranoid. You need another vacation to recover from all that!
Aww thank you 🥹❤️
My water heater got a crack and leaked water for a LONG time. It was in a storage closet that i had crammed with junk. (I'm sort of a hoarder). The carpet and floor were saturated and sagging, then the floor collapsed! There went my hoard, my library all the clothes got musty, and my leather jacket and shoes molded. It's not repaired properly, but there's nothing in it!!!
😮
Yikes!!! First the stateroom change while on vaca.. just to come hm to a nasty flood & forgetting you had an empty gas tank due to the flooding chaos, I can see the disappointment in both of you. Yet, you appeared to have kept your wits entact and kept it moving(no pun intended). Which was a positive for baby girl & the pretties. ❤
Keep your heads up even though it's stressful. When you've finally settled in, and begin creating new memories in your new place, this unfortunate moment will pass. Blessings to you all Holgate family. YOU GOT(SIC) THIS!!!🥰😘
❤❤❤❤❤ ❤

Aww thank you so much! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Flood story….Two of my former co-workers and friends, who were a couple, worked and saved up for their first home, moved in, set it up, it was so gorgeous, and then a month later…Hurricane Harvey hit. They lived about 3 blocks from the bayou and that thing just drowned their house. They didn’t even have time to just like normally evacuate because the water came in so fast that they had to grab their dogs, and literally climb onto the roof and spend the night up there until the morning when they were finally able to get someone to come by on a boat to get them down. INSANE! I had to stop myself from crying when a bunch of us came over to help with the clean up. There was so much random stuff in their backyard, like part of a trampoline, and these random chairs, and stuff from other people’s yards. You could see the water line inside the house on the walls. Nothing was salvageable, their car was destroyed. It just makes me want to throw up even years later because I know how hard they worked to get their first home together and to make it so nice.
Wow! I am so sorry this happened to y'all. So happy to know you are all safe though!!! The light your family brings to all of us, makes me believe you will always be better on the other side of hard times.
Thank you so much! Means a lot to us 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my heart, when you put that into the last cruise video... I was like a aaaahhhhh I hope they are. Okay. Yall handled this like you do al things in life, positivity and humor cause what else can you really do. So glad you were able to move into the upside Down house, can't wait to see the decorating and alllll that jazz. Glad yall are okay and Diddy you kicked butt getting the cruise videos out while doing all that.... Dude. You freaken rock!!!!!!!!
You are so sweet! Thank you so much!
I am so sorry to hear about this. On the other hand you are stronger now then ever. Keep on rocking and know that we are all enjoying your positive vibes even though it could have been worse. Possible Vibes are all for you guys.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Joe and I are so sorry you came home to a flooded house. We can’t imagine. Hopefully the transition to the new place continues to go smoothly. Jen and Joe xo
Thank you, Jen and Joe!! Loved your San Diego zoo video I watched it a couple days ago!
Aww! Thank you. We really appreciate that.😊❤️
So sad this happened to y’all. Like always, you handled it beautifully. You are setting such a great example for Kenzie.
Aww so sweet 🥹 thank you ❤️
So I have a flood story. I used to work at a school called SWIHA South West Institute of Healing Arts. Well on a Thanksgiving weekend the school bathroom pipe burst and it burst through the tile. It was a converted old bowling alley so the water flowed down the ramp and it collected three feet from the ground on the walls. An employee had stopped by to check on it and saw a broken window and then opened the door to water flowing out. It was a nightmare.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad you guys survived, your terrible surprise . I’m sending hugs 🤗 🤗 🤗, did the corporate office offer to replace any of your damaged items? Did they offer to move you over to the other townhouse?
Did you find out anything about the man who was stalking your house? I hope nothing was stolen? Companies like that use shady people for one reason, they are cheap. It’s all about profit.
I hope you are happy , and soon feel settled, in your new home. The reverse layout of the house, reminds me of Alice through the looking glass, everything was the same but , was reversed.
Try not to be too hard on yourself for running out of gas , I imagine you probably felt emotionally triggered, having to deal with another disaster in your home. I hope everything gets back to normal for you all, quickly. ❤
Our condo had water problems back in 2016. 🙁 I was out of my bedroom for six months while everything was being fixed. I'm glad that y'all have a new townhouse to stay in. And I hope that everything works out in the end for all of you. 🙏🏻
Oh no! Sorry you went thru it!
Ugh what an awful way to come home from a cruise to your house being flooded! I loved all the Pete’s dragon songs you were singing! Yes our basement flooded years ago when it got really cold apparently they didn’t properly insulate the one wall of our house and the pipes froze going up from the basement to the master bedroom. Then the pipe burst when it unfroze and I woke up to the air conditioner sump pump going off like crazy and I was like what it’s winter why is that going off! I ran downstairs and water was pouring out of the ceiling and the whole finished basement was flooded! Luckily I knew where the water shut off valve is and turned that off! Sadly my husbands comic book collection got ruined! We had to gut the basement and it was a nightmare!
What an awful thing to come home to after such a nice vacation, but lucky that your new home happened so quickly. So very glad Menuncke was okay.
Thank you, Jeanne ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry your house flooded! My parent's basement flooded twice with knee deep water. Long story short the city fixed the drainage problem with the road and it hasn't flooded since. Glad you guys recovered ❤
Oh no! Sorry they had it happen too!
Welll, fudge. You guys had a “interesting “ welcome home. I hope everything is so much better now and sending you guys all good vibes. I need to watch Pete’s dragon now.
It’s all good now.. thankfully! Thank you so much!
Hugs ❤️❤️
Im so sorry you guys had to come home to a leaking house. Let the new memories begin! Thank you for sharing your cruise with us. What is your next cruise?
Thank you. We’ll def do a summer cruise! Just not sure which one yet.
So sorry that happened to you. Glad you got a new place right away. I hope you could salvage most of Kenzie’s belongings.💜💙💙
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Hugs
SO sorry this happened to you!! But if it had to happen thank God there was an exact, but backwards townhome available for you!! Living in a hotel would be a nightmare! Glad you got the cops on that shady guy! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. 💗
I’m behind on vlogs and I watched the most recent one like wait…. Am I crazy I’m so happy you all were able to get settle so fast wow I was tripping out
Good morning all happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter
Thank you!
@TheHolgates your welcome sending you hugs ❤️ 🤗
Oh my, awful shock to come home to that. Admire your positivity, keep smiling, inspirational family. Love to you all ❤
Aww thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
O my goodness I am so sorry you all had to deal with that! But the way y’all pushed through and kept smiling and being your Goofy 😜 selves is inspiring! Your family is amazing and deserves all good things!
Thank you 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, what an awful thing to happen! You all handled this whole situation with so much grace. I’m excited to see how you do up your new backwards spot in the upside down ♥️♥️♥️☀️
Thank you!
I’m so sorry this happened but I’m glad yall were able to move somewhere so quickly! It’s so weird seeing everything opposite! Sending good vibes and hugs to yall 🥰🥰
Thank you so much ❤️
Hello loving family, I’m so so sorry this has happened to you, it’s a nightmare to come home too, and poor Kittie. But like everyone says you handled this with so much grace, you are so resilient and I think the only reason you handled this like you did is you still have each other and all 3 pets are safe, and this shows again how much love can do. It’s also why this duplicate house was waiting for you (karma) you deserved this like no one else on this platform. But I know this must have been very stressful and I hope you didn’t lose anything that’s sentimental. I can’t wait to see you new decorations and furniture it will be so cozy and warm. You guys are the most sensitive, warm caring loving people on earth, lots off strength coming your way, love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey you! Aww thanks so much! You are such a sweetheart appreciate you!
So sorry that this happened. I am glad they had another place for all of you. Poor kitty!
Thank you so much!
Sorry this happened to you. Luckly they had a new place for you to move to . Hugs to you all .
Omg wtf? As if moving isn’t stressful enough and coming from home vacation is so sad then you come home from vacation and surprise you’re moving! I’m so sorry that’s how your fabulous cruise ended 🥺 I’m so glad your community had another unit for you to move into. And poor Menunckey! First a fire, then a flood! That’s crazy! I hope your insurance covers the damage and that you like your new couch more than your last 💜💜
Ok so my flood story isn’t as dramatic but you should get a good laugh. A month ago I was filling the Brita pitcher up on the counter and had to pee. So I leave the pitcher filling thinking I’ll be right back. In the 30 seconds it took me to pee I forgot about the pitcher filling and sat down to watch TV. A solid hour later it occurs to me that there’s what sounds like pouring rain but I know it’s not raining. A horror comes over me and I run into the kitchen to find a solid inch and a half of water. I’m sure my husband loved the text at work asking how to convert the shop vac so that I can vacuum up water. #Stonerproblems 😅😅😅😅
Omg you poor thing! I’ve done something similar when filling up water too 😂😂😂
Sending hugs to you. I can't even imagine coming home to that after the great vacation you had. I am so sorry this happened. Glad you ended up with a new place but I do have to agree that would take some getting use to. The same townhouse but backwards. I home all is going well for the three of you now. My best wishes for the best family on youtube. My rainbow color is yellow.
Thank you so much!!
Big hugs ❤️🌈
Oh my gosh how chaotic is that to come home to a flood after vacation?! My house and life is crazy 24/7 i would not have handled it as well as y’all. sorry y’all went through this. and why does the whole flipped lay out throw me off while watching the vlog 😂🤦🏻♀️
Omgosh this flooding makes me super sad for you guys thank God for the community to come to help you because I wish I could have. 💋♥️🥳🌺
Aww thanks Tess! We love ya ❤️❤️
So sorry your house flooded. That is everyone's worst nightmare. Glad you had a great cruise though. Hugs to all of you.
Thank you, Laura ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I can’t imagine coming home to that😮 So glad y’all seem to be settled now, but hate that you had to go through that.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Hugs
Hey besties!!! I hate that you guys came from your cruise to a flooded house! But how lucky are you that you got to move into a townhouse in your community! I can’t image how backwards you guys feel, because I feel backwards watching your vlogs! 🤣🤣🤣. You did a great job moving in so quickly! And boy do I love that Kermit! Love ya! ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ohhh Holgate family, I'm so SORRY you had to come home to a flood. I'm happy you were able to move right next door quickly. You guys are Amazing and Strong. Love ya❤❤

Yikes! It is so fortunate that there was another unit available. I hate that someone was trying to possibly steal from you guys, there are so many bad peeps in this world. Glad things aren't as bad as they could have been. Blue, purple, green , orange for all my favorite people in my life. If I missed one of them I will find out later haha. But those will be my colors for now.
So true… and thank you so much! Hugs ❤️❤️
I have missed you guys!!! I got logged out of my RUclips account and had to figure out how to get my account back. Well i made it and you guys are the first account I’m getting caught up on.

Thank you so much! We did have the best time on the cruise! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️

Aww thank you ❤️❤️🥹❤️
I’m so sorry you all had to go through this mess! You all handled it better than I would have! ❤️
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
I just got sad news of the loss of my former gymnastics coach. Because I was down, I was not sure if I was up for Holgate cheer. Then I see you had your own challenges. I am very sorry about the flood, disoriented pets, thieves stalking your stuff 😮, and the gas diabolical. I love how you keep your adorable chins up even when the going gets tough. 🩵
Aw sorry about your coach. Sending big hugs your way ❤️😭
@TheHolgates Thank you! I still watched your vlog and seing you being cheerful through the setbacks was refreshing. You are all amazing
I am so sorry that happened to y'all! It was such good fortune to be able to make the "lateral" move into another townhome so quickly though.Hoping you continued to get settled without any more issues 😢
Thank you!
Well that doesn't seem like a Magical Day. So sorry. Hope you get settled into your new place. A fire and a flood. That is nuts!!! Thinking of you all and praying for you.....
Thank you so much! We did get all settled after some time!
Hugs ❤️
I am so sorry that this happened!! Sending you all hugs!
Thank you love ❤️❤️❤️
Hugs
I am so sorry you guys are going through this. I know were watching this in February and this happened in January but I hope your house isn't ruined and you can go back soon😢
Awww thank you! Life is pretty much back to normal now, thankfully! Hugs ❤️
I’m so sorry you guys had to go through this! Not a good way to end your cruise….but life has a way of messing with us! You will get through this ❤️❤️
Thank you, Joanne! Love ya ❤️
Still kept your spirits high....
❤️❤️❤️
Glad you had a fantastic cruise. Sorry you had to come home to such a mess. A glitch but everything worked out.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry you came home to a flooded house, but I know you will bounce back and make the new house a home.
Thank you so much!
Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
What a positive family! Stephen and Bryan such angels. Returning from a cruise on a high to arrive at a disaster would ruin many people’s spirits. I know we don’t see everything that happens but these situations really suck. Bryan is so calm and patient, does get ever lose it? I could never be so nice lol! I presume you are back to your place now. The pets must be traumatized them poor babies. Hope life has returned slightly to normal pace. ❤️❤️🩷
You are so kind! Thank you!
I’m not surprised you are so on top of what goes on in your neighborhood. You’re Dads. I don’t know a Dad that is not aware of his surroundings. Dads want to protect those they love right? You’re no different my dears. However being a bit more aware of your Gas gauge might be helpful in future. 😂 sending you love and good vibes. Hugs from Houston ❤
Prayers for you and your beautiful family! 🙏
Thank you!
