Massive Thank you to Nancy and Mark for the amazing gifts, and sorry for the random video, I think the heat has got to us all, haha
You're so welcome. Your video was great and I enjoyed the playful banter.
Love how you always interact with each other
Awesome video. I want to see the house when she is done building it hahaha
I Live in a Log Home and I Love it I have wooden Floor Wooden walls and wooden Ceiling!
Its Beautiful!!
Front porches were so we could see the street and we could speak to the neighbors... Not too long ago, everyone was friendly and stayed in neighborhoods for a lifetime and neighbors were friends, not strangers..
Here in the South, porches have long been an essential so on hot days/evenings people could stay cool. Less of a social/status symbol and more of a necessity. 🥵
Our neighborhood was built with front porches to encourage neighbors to get to know each other. People have a pair of rockers or a bench and it’s very common to see neighbors sitting on their porch on a nice evening when you’re out for a walk and stopping for a quick chat. If it’s rainy kids will play on the porch if it’s not cold.
And the neighborhood kids played outside until the street lights came on , we didn't have cable TV, VCR, Internet or video games all we had were board games and cards for rainy days, sorry for rambling on
In many cases, neighbors weren’t just friends. They were family.
@@gawainethefirstso much like family that you ended up having an entire neighborhood of extra moms and dads who would make sure your actual mom and dad knew if you had been doing something bad. 😎
Loved watching when each person's eyes lighted up when they saw a style they liked.
Those large southern homes, often more than one generation of the family would live there. That's why they were so big.
A front porch is for socializing with your neighbors. It’s enjoyable to sit and watch what’s going on in your neighborhood especially when the kids are outside playing. You can eat and have drinks at night talking with your neighbors in warm weather.
The price shown on the Craftsman style home was because Sears used to sell a kit many years ago with everything needed and precut so you put it together like a model.
My fathers parents bought one of those from the Sears catalog.
Here in SWFL, Sears and Roebuck sold Jim Walter homes. They also sold Ford Automobiles. You could buy a pistol for $0.25. I still have an old catalog put up in storage.
It’s fun to see the kids’ excitement over the nice houses featured❤
Leah's happy because all the tests are done 🎉
"You want to make sure no one is coming into your yard". Sorry mate, its the exact opposite. You sit on the front porch and say "hi" to your neighbors as they walk by. During storms, you sit out on the porch and watch the rain, feel the pressure in the air before a thunder boom. We don't live on top of each other so the front porch allows an inviting place to meet, get to know your neighbors.
I grew up in a Victorian home built in 1883, and now liv in a Craftsman style home built in 2020.
My hometown of Waxahachie, Texas, hosts a twice annual tour of historical Victorian homes. We call it The Gingerbread Trail.
Right before you made that comment to Leah how about "no one can hear the video because all she is saying is she likes that one".
Leah... i said the same thing to my girlfriend a moment before your dad said that to you.
I told her that I can't hear what he's saying if she (my girkfriend) keeps commenting on how much she likes every house.
We both started laughing when Jono said that.
Great videos Graham Fam!
I think many of those large upstairs balconies are called sleeping porches. I don't know how often these were actually used before the invention of air conditioning.
The amount of times they said “it’s so big” or “it’s too big” to average or small sized homes made me laugh
Those homes with the pillars in front. That's old southern style specially with the plantations
To be fair, you could use a screwdriver for corn no problem! 🤣
philips head, works pretty well.
I've used toothpicks as corn holders; the round ones are stronger.
Love to see and hear the kid's excitement. I was not bored hearing about her dream home, that's good to hear her think big!
Hi those are actually Skewers. You can roast peppers , onions, tomatoes on them. Or small cuts of meat.
They also had smaller (wooden handled) corn on the cob holders in there. They must have a blade style end and not a prong style end for poking into the corn cob. Pretty sure those are what he thought were screwdrivers.
Love the excitement of the kids, in particular Lea. Nothing wrong with dreaming big and picturing yourself in a certain house. We all do it from time to time, even if it'll never happen.
One design that was not mentioned, and I think you all might like, are timber framed homes. They incorporate exposed large timber frames, and are like a modern spin on log homes. A frame homes can also be occasionally spotted. They have steep roofs and like the name implies are shaped like a big letter A.
Back in the day we'd sit out on the front porch and spend time with neighbors there. So they don't see inside your "messy" house(it was clean mom...)
Love it! Why a 3 car garage...hmm, let me see. Workshop, 2 cars, riding mower, bikes, lawn equipment, trailer, storage for seasonal decor and the list goes on. I have a 1k sqft garage and it's too small. The perfect home for me about 2k sqft living space and a 6k sqft garage.
You can actually buy log cabin homes from a catalog. The homes come in many sizes from 400 square feet to over 5,000. The major components are engineered in a factory, delivered to your property and erected by a crane. You can finish the interior yourself or hire a builder. My brother and his wife had one built on a mountain in New Hampshire before they had kids.
Many houses have porches in front and decks in back.
The first picture of Row Houses looked like an area in Charleston, SC called Rainbow Row. The houses face Battery Park and the waterfront and every house is a different color.
The house at 16:52 with 3 garage doors looks to be a standard 2 car garage door closest, a 1 car garage door in the middle, and a Golf Cart Garage Door furthest away. This house doesnt not look like its in a retirement community but Golf Cart Garages are very popular in retirement communities.
Ahhhh, She was cute. I wish her the best of luck in her future home. As well as you all, in yours. Have to say though, she does have some good taste. Lol. Three or more car garages, are for a number of reasons. Teens driving, work area, tractor lawn mower, snow mobiles, jet ski's boats, motorcycles. Lots of reasons.
The octogon shaped mansion is one of the many historic homes in Natchez, Mississippi. There are tours ot the houses that I'd love to take. Natchez, Mississippi is at one end of the ancient indian trail that's called the Natchez Trace. The other end is near Nashville, Tennessee. The entire trail now has a scenic highway from beginning to end and is a National Park.
My favorite - modern mountain cabin
I have 2 favorites. The log cabin and the Doll House which is very popular in Boston.
I really enjoyed Lea’s facial expressions. Y’all are a lovely family.
They didn't include tiny houses which have become somewhat popular with younger couples. Also, there are a few octagon shaped homes, there is one not to far from where I live.
I'm also a lover of log homes. there are a lot of companies that build log home kits, that is where you choose the design and lay out of the house, they build it on site at their yard, number/letter each log as to its placement, then disassemble it and ship to your property for reassembling. I like the way they build it at their yard first because then they can see if there are any flaws or corrections that need to be made before shipping the logs to you. I loved watching "Montana Haven" as their family has built log homes and showed how to maintain them. They are part owners in a company in Montana that build and ship log home kits. I love all the windows and large porches on the log homes, especially when they are built in a remote area. It would be so awesome to sit out on your porch with some coffee and watch all the wildlife in the area. The Montana Haven family rent their log home in Montana as an AIR B and B (I don't know if that is the proper name). They designed and placed their home so that every window and porch has the most spectacular and beautiful views of the mountains and valley. You would also love the garden with the fresh vegetables and fruit from the fruit trees. OOPS! I am sounding like a commercial. Sorry! But you really should check out their log homes.
Front porches were more common before 1960 & cars. The outhouse & animals were out back. Front porch was a place to greet passing neighbors and welcome & entertainment guests
Porch sitting is a southern past time. I loved nothing more than sitting on my front porch swing in the evening, especially if it was raining.
My folks built a small log cabin on 21 acres when I was a kid. It was a unique experience to grow up in, although it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. But there was a pond on the property that drained into a creek that drained into a 5000+ acre swamp and wildlife refuge.
My favorite is the Mid-Century modern. Even the furniture and decor.
One of the small garages is for the yard tractor, which you absolutely need to cut the grass on a property that big. A nice, big John Deere riding mower with a grass catcher attachment.
I’m an Architect in Utah US and home styles vary by state/region & class of living. I specialize in High End Residential Estates ranging from 6,000-30,000 sq ft , $800,000-$10M and the styles vary vastly as the owners can afford to build whatever they find attractive. You might be suprised to know that a lot of Log Cabins are still being built up in the mountains as vacation /retirement homes & most people don’t know that they are some of the most efficient , safe , structurally sound , homes you could have, they cost considerably less than standard construction as well & can be built nearly 3 times quicker. We still build them the same way they were 200 years ago, Lincoln log knotched ends on the 8-12 diameter logs. The logs are so heavy that as you stagger stack them one ontop of another you’re literally creating a locking system of extremely heavy logs that make todays log cabins far superior structurally to a normal home enough so that we haven’t recorded an earthquake in history that is capable of leveling a lot cabin. A Norma home when the ground rocks the 4-8” stick frammed walls supporting the massively heavy roof rock too and collapse at even average earth quake strengths and they don’t stand up well to medium hurricanes requiring repairs after and the structure weakens every storm. A lot cabin in an earthquake or terrible storm can barely rock the walls becasue rack is linked to the contents and each stacked on each other so any movement it has actually just causes the immense weight of the walls to settle tighter and firmer so over time & harsh condtions it becomes more solid and the way the logs for the roof beams bare on the walls and are tied in to them it severely strengthens the box. All new log homes logs are treated with a coating that keeps insects from burrowing in them and a fire treatment coating that looks lousy like a normal staining of the home actually prevents fire to where a modern log home is actually difficult to set on fire and often make it though moderate forest fires that get close. Log homes stay extremely cool in the hot summers and a simple wood burning stove easilly heats it entirely in winter , they retain the heat better than high end insulated homes do. A modern log home built today has an estimated life span of over 250 years for structural integrity , whereas a new home of standard construction will be lucky to get over 100 years without severe repairs being needed over time. Modern cabins now use a new type of roof tile that is either metal or ceramic and come in leve sheets. They look normal but have a 75 year guarantee as opposed to a 20-30 year roof on a new home. No replacing roof tiles, no leaks and fire resistant. An average home in utah the lot costs around $100,000 for .25 acre and then $350,000 for a starter home 3 bed 2 bath , $450k , you can have a lot home built for $75-125,000 , mountain lots are much cheaper at $10-40,000 and most now are having solar installed , they get a well dug so they can be completely off grid and self sufficient. They are superior in practicality to any other type of home in any category you can thing of from price , maintenance free really , 2-3x the life, 65% more efficient in summer and winter , structurally bombproof /disaster proof , fire proof , get stronger with time as opposed to weaker . Now theee are builder and owners that build fake cabins, the framed woth 2xs like a normal home and then they put fake log siding on the outter inch of logs , it costs more and has all the problems of a normal home. I always tell clients , never use under an 8” log but go as big as you can suggesting 10-12” logs as it’s jsut that much safer efficient stronger etc
You guys Rock! @ Leia nothing wrong with speaking out. I really enjoy watching y'all's interactions. Great family to follow.
Great video...the kids' dreams for their future are not boring to me. I like to hear their aspirations and thoughts, kinda reassuring my crazy thoughts & hopes for the future are not only my creation.😅😅😅 Love the channel, love the family, so, I love the family channel! 😊
Most homes here in the US have back porches, patios, or decks .
They large round looking brick home you said "Can you imagine living there?" Is actually a plantation in Natchez, Mississippi. There was an old British Fort and Garrison there. If memory serves, it was first the Governor's house then became the central plantation home. I visited the place for a tour years ago when it was still being restored. Half the roof was missing at the time. Noce place, but it's way larger than that picture gives it credit.
Lea was just excited! I would probably have talked over the entire video as well. They showed beautiful examples of each style. I wish they had included an example of the interior of each kind. Victorian and craftsman, for example, have very distinctive (and, imo, awesome) features. I love many kinds of homes.
Loved watch you react to homes I could never afford. LOL
I use to live across from the home, you said looked Russian. It was a nice Victorian home, with a covered driveway on the East side, and a very nice large yard. It is registered as an historical home, and is in the middle of several historical homes, one being the Camble House, which is part of a museum.
U know Leah Loving almost every home so much is like me , she ought to look into becoming an architect too. If you love homes and looking at homes it’s a great field to get into.
Cuisinart is top quality. Nancy knows her stuff.
YES, wearing the best hat that you all have -- GO BUCKEYES!!!
Yes, front porches are for sitting with a glass of tea and relaxing watching the world go by . . and we usually have decks or patios in the back for the cookouts and picnics - I'm fortunate, I have a screened in porch in the back as well as a cement slab which has the grill and patio set with umbrella ... we enjoy the outdoors for sure! My house is a colonial...so not a huge front porch (room for a chair to enjoy the weather) . . guess my house is kinda like a mullet....style in the front / party in the back! LOL
Nice gifts, Mark. And nice representing Louisiana. I'm from right down the road in Hammond. We'd love to see your family enjoy some Louisiana culture and food.
I was very entertained by Leah's(sp?) "I like that" 😂😂
VICTORIAN'S are my favorite Houses ❤ Them
You guys are a joy to watch! I love the family videos, I hope you guys have a great weekend!
our home is a cape cod style that was built in 1834
The random video was fun. You guys are awesome. I watched a show the other day called mega factory and learned that 4 of the KIA model cars are made in Slovakia.
Jono might really enjoy living in a place like tennessee. Log cabins, great seasons, tons of outdoor living/activites, reasonably affordable, etc. I live in northwest Indiana and it’s incredibly flat land but we have all of those kinds of houses in my area. You might enjoy the midwest in general.
I grew up in a Cape Cod style home and now live in a Mediterranean home in the desert of ARizona.
Love you all
Your daughter is Hilarious and your son so sweet ❤
We have the same birth date! Happy early Birthday!🎂
Jono y'all should check out a new craze in housees .. called a Barndominium .. where you take an old country hay barn and turn it nto your dream house .. Outside is still a barn but inside you make the rooms you want in the size and style you want and add windows and doors where you want them etc... You can have a wide open floor plan if you want or have an old country style house with many rooms downstairs IE study living room , kitchen as big or small as you want a game room , studio and upstairs bedrooms with leas bathroom for every bedroom and a half bath downstairs and laundry room downstairs . and you can still do your wrap around porch and outdoor cooking area or even full blown outdoor kitchen with sink, fridge and roof so even in the rain or snow you can cook , grill out or even smoke meats ...
The old Victorian homes have a lot of character, but are difficult to heat and cool. Building new like that would be prohibitive, even with a modern from scratch core. The ranch homes and trai;er homes of the 1950s were my style growing. up. I haven't been able to afford a real house since the 1980s.
I'd love to see you guys react to a house construction time lapse! One I recommend is titled "1 Year Timelapse Building Our Custom Home" by "Faris and Lisa" here on RUclips. Love the channel guys.
There is definitely a house style they missed in that video. Look up earthships. I live in a quasi-earthship (the previous owners built it and didn't do it correctly to be a true earthship). The foundation is made up of earth rammed tires. It's quite an interesting style.
my birthday is aug 2nd as well. i'll be 50 this yr.
You guys should do a video about the Blue Angels jet team. They’re the most popular one in the US.
3rd garage stalls. Teenagers drive here. That's 1 reason. there is a lot of hail in the spring here and a garage provides protection for the car for guests/teens. People live far apart here (American is 3000 miles across) so people will bring their car to your home and stay for a few days over the holidays or maybe a few weeks after the birth of a grand child. However, if you saw on the 3 garage home, the huge yard (garden). You have to maintenance those yards and people buy riding lawnmowers. Often, the 3rd garage stall is for the riding mower and all the yard or personal tools for the husband. It doubles as a place to do car maintenance, lawnmower maintenance. Can't stress this enough. Big yard = big mower.
The really big houses....why does anyone need those? Those are going away with each generation, but many business executives, wealthy people keep large homes because they do business entertaining in their home. So large homes serve both home/business purposes. These homes have living areas and entertaining areas (or a mix). Today, many people buy them not to live in but to host weddings, rent out for special events, etc.
So the outside of the houses impact the interior of the houses. They all look great outside but the living style changes with the style. So the Log Cabins have open floor plans but narrow hallways. The cottages have less room for furniture are easy to maintain/clean inside. The Farmhouse usually have bigger kitchens, open floor plans and split bedroom plans (kids on one side, parents on the other) for privacy. So the outside is not as important as the inside. The tudors usually have all bedrooms upstairs where as the wider, deeper homes typically have the master bedroom on the main floor and adapt as the owner's lifestyle changes. You should do some home tours on the inside of some of these houses. They're all pretty inside (which is why she loved every one) but the inside living, fitting your lifestyle, number of kids, if your parents live with you, etc is all key.
19:15 i definitely dont live in a palace, but ever since i was a kid i can remember my father stressing the importance of owning good land. A nice house, with acreage, in a good neighborhood, and your investment will go up. You can pass down the property to your kids or cash it in for retirement. If you make a bunch of money it needs to be spent, invested, or given away. Theres nowhere else for it to go. If your RUclips channel pops off, you may be in a similar scenario....
Seems like you'd like the log cabin that Townsends built recently. It's very small, but I'm sure you'd still like seeing it.
Please look for Frank Loyd Wright's Falling water home also known as the house on the waterfalls it is so beautiful a must see home.
When you said "what a turd" about the antebellum houses I laughed bc your instincts were right. If any property in the south with a house that looks like that falls into your hands, it's probably in your best interests to do extensive research on the property, bc there could be a could chance it was a former plantation. So yeah, that's a big NO for me too lol.
Great reaction, hello from Tennessee
Nice choice of hats. OH-IO!
"can you imagine living there? What a turd!" 🤣
As a former building inspector I can tell you that wood shingled and thatched roofs are both horrible fire hazards. And a huge stressful issue on the fourth of July when fireworks are being shot into the air and quiet often the smoldering remnants fall on other people's roofs. It would drive you mad with worry.
The second house looks almost exactly like one of mine in Laurens, SC except mine had an addition to it's right (our left) instead of just that little side porch thingy. I love that house, has two full ovens, 7 bedrooms, a walk in pantry and everyone said it looked like Forrest Gump's House. I could do without the train tracks just past the back yard (Garden I think you call it), It has a small barn that is falling down that would have looked great back in the day.
11:42 LOL he said it looks like something in Saudi Arabia. It totally does and I never would have made that connection until your son said that. Now that's all I'm going to think when I see a house like that.
Mr. Graham, some subject matter, look for Mt Rushmore, Look for Smithsonian Museum. A treasure located in Washington DC. Our national museum. So much to see including dinosaur skeletons and so much more. Also look for a video by J. Utah who drives American cities in real time with no talking. If you wish to drive our cities, then this is the guy you want to look for. He also drives California wine country the Pacific coast highway. Please look for him. This channel Relaxing walks. He will walk and drive North Carolina neighborhoods and look for his videos.
23:30 Mark! 936 Views! Does it include mine, or will mine be added when I'm done here? I noticed different counters updating. 🤔 Thumb Up #259! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: It was nice to get a refresher on the names. I was the same age and size or so of your son or brother or yourself when I last my father's reference book of model homes and floorplans used by draftsman, inspectors, et cetera.
Back then I tried to use "Legos", "Lincoln Logs", and "Tupperware Toy" kits to make homes for my toy soldiers and so on and so forth but, Grandma, would insist we put our toys back into the toy box rather than try to display forever!
With "The SIMs" I finally had the free rein to make houses! 🎉
Good luck to, is it "Leah" or "Leia"? 🤔 With getting legal funding to build her dream home! For it is very saddening to get such funds via insurance and a lawsuit settlement. 😢
Great video you guys. Keep up the good work.
I agree I often say why are our houses facing the street. I'd rather look at the back yard. Who wants to look at the street.
The log cabin my grandpa,8 generations back, built in 1780 in Kentucky on the land grant he got from the Continental Congress for his service in the Revolutionary War was in the family until the 1950's when the government 's TVA project built a dam on the river and the resulting lake put our whole farm under water. We are now 17th generation Americans and STILL getting screwed by government .
Great video. Lol! Enjoyed everyones reactions. If your really nice Leah may let yall stay in one of her upstair bedrooms.😂
Those long things in your BBQ gift are for Kabobs, not corn LOL
Some of us wish we could afford those too
Guys please look for Epic log homes some are priced in the millions.
The post is columns referring to the white house
If you're ever looking for a laugh, try watching NBA Mascots Being Menaces - I think you'll enjoy it! Loved the video!
We have back porches they are very common.
You guys should watch a video about the Biltmore
I live in a Cape Cod house called a full Cape on Cape Cod which is where I grew up
I live in a log cabin by the lake in Indiana.
I hear you - I too live in a log cabin, but mine's in a Hollow, next to the Run. The way to go.
A lot of those machines or large homes have generations living in them with a lot of money.
Screwdrivers 😂😂😂❤️
These modern homes have no warmth appeal, for me anyway. Love From Michigan, and it's a beautiful evening. Temperatures have been in the very high 90s, reaching 99 degrees. Nice having AC.
We have front and back porches. It's not one or the other.
Renting a car would be cheaper than an Uber. It may be slightly less than the cost of the tour. But you have more freedom to explore more of the park. But do not get any ride-share it would be too expensive.
Hi Nzeders! Hi!
You and I share the same birthday.
I wish I could send y’all a window air conditioner, but apparently almost all of Europe bans American window air conditioners! WHY???????
I really enjoy your channel. Non from united states.
Wow, Jono, lol, did you insinuate that all Americans deliberately sit on their front porch because they’re “passionate” about someone coming onto their yard? 😂 that is not the case at all. Well, most of the time. We’re not aggressive about that. We just like to sit on our porch, especially when it’s a nice day or we’re talking to the neighbors.
