I am about to die of cutie overload here! Maverick is entirely adorable! Also, it is so sweet to see Belle helping out! You cannot even imagine the lifelong impact it will have on her, in so many ways! She is investing herself in her home and learning valuable skills. I was about her age when my parents moved us out of a perfectly nice three-bedroom home to a much older, one-bedroom dump but it was in a better neighborhood. It was Christmas when my dad and I began tearing out plaster walls with sledgehammers and crowbars. I will never forget it, and all the valuable lessons I learned. I learned about fulcrums and Concrete vs. Cement, and that I should have been wearing a dust mask. Eventually turned our little ugly duckling into a lovely three-bedroom home by finishing the garden level basement and adding a full bathroom for us children. This single project seemed to catapult my parents to financial freedom. They paid $13K for the house in the late 70s, and sold it ten years later for 10 times that amount! As I write I am in the process of tearing out, yes, more plaster walls on a home my husband and I just purchased. We hope this will be our last home, as we are in our sixties! Life is good!
Wow you've practically rebuilt your home from scratch, together and still smiling that's very rare these days. Keep up the good work, btw Mavericks getting even cuter if that's at all possible. 👍
You two are the best example of a quote by John Ruskin: "When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. God bless your family!! Think I could watch you two 24-7. : D
Maverick such a sweet baby 👶. 🥰🥰 I love to watch him grow and see his sweet facial expressions. The house is really coming together and looking great! Can’t wait to see what’s next. 😎😉🛠🛠🛠 Stay Warm you all!
Haha ... you say “we don’t have much to show you” at the end of video .... you just showed us a SLEW of work you’ve been up to. Wonderful progress .... I’m amazed at how much you’ve researched and trained yourselves to do. Such perfect caretakers of the land and your home.
Looking so nice. You guys have worked so hard! Maverick was being shy ☺️ So sweet. Loved the chickens following the children , it made me think of the pied piper 😁😁👍🇨🇦
What do you do with the waste drywall? I used some around rabbit cages (in a barn) to help the rabbits stay warm and to keep out snakes or other predators. You could probably use them to corral small chickens. Having some around to patch any holes from mishaps or even to help block wind from going through gaps in barn boards. I haven't tried but I image you could use them for arts and crafts, painting pictures on them. You're creative folks I'm sure you can find ways to use them.
Keep all your drywall you never know when you're going to need a piece. You might have to repair wall because something fell on top of it and made a hole, and you already have the drywall that you can use instead of going out and buying. House is starting to look really nice. God bless your all .
Everything looks great. I'm sure you both have worked very hard and it shows. Doug I like the way you cut drywall, so precise with just a few seams. Enjoyed seeing the ending with the children and the chickens. Ashley try to have some down time for you and the family this weekend. Be blessed.
I love how we can see a little more of your personality coming out. Which is good because we all feel like you are family! So pleased for you to be finished with the drywall. SNOW!
Wow, it must feel wonderful to see all of the walls completely defined and having space to walk about. Not to mention you have the house enclosed and warm before the snow hit. Bet that dry wall would be great for kids art projects in the summer. Thank you for the adorable ending with the kids playing in the snow with the chickens following them - so sweet.
Your videos are wonderful! Your home is going to be amazing! Belle is getting tall and so beautiful and intelligent. Maverick makes my heart happy. 🙏❤️🙏
I do my own artwork/ painting. I have done murals in my home on drywall. Your daughter could use the pieces as various sizes of canvas for her drawings or other artistic background such as 3-D drywall art sculpture.. Then you could seal the 'canvas' and frame them with pieces of leftover wood.
This is a great suggestion. Check out Pinterest. Have you seen those Stonecote countertops they’re doing now. Looks like resin. Lots of beautiful stuff made, not just countertops.
enjoyed the video. Maverick was the star of the show....last scene my favorite! ... I could imagine hearing your sigh of relief in getting all that work Done!....Blessings to ya'll!
Awe the kiddos with the chickies!!😁So cute! Yay drywall is fineto!!👍👍Great work guys, bet it feels great to get rid of that disgusting vacuum!! Can't wait to see more🤗
Doug and Ashley You did it!!!!!!!! I knew you would!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences & video. I sure hope you can relax a little bit, now. You deserve some rest! I do look forward to your next video. Please take care and God Bless.
Everything looks so good. Maverick is a real camera ham and Belle is your second in command...lol. So what happens when you're all finished with the house? You can't leave us because you're part of our families now. We're addicted to the Doug and Ashley team!!!
Everything is looking great.I know getting rid of the excess laying around makes a huge difference.Been there myself. You're getting there. Maverick is adoreable.
LOLOL... I loved the last shot of the chickens following your children. So cute. Whew! Now it's time for the both of you to get some much deserved rest.
It looks great! As Ashley said, fresh and clean. When Belle was helping Doug it took me a minute to realize it wasn't Ashley. At the end, Doug rocking back and forth while holding Maverick took me back to holding my children and grandchildren at that age. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤
Hi Doug, Ashley Belle and Maverick it was great seeing the kid's they are growing up so nice. It was so cute seeing them outside. You two have done such a beautiful job very nice seeing it all coming together I know you have to be so excited now. Looking forward see the bathroom completed. Great job on every thing it looks beautiful! ❤
I would hang on to some of those good pieces for when there is damage to a wall or corner from kids or vacuum bangs. It's starting to really come together, so glad you got the bulk of your work done before the snow started to fall. You will be happy to have water running now inside :) Proud of you guys. Looking good, you have worked hard! Maverick is a cutie, love the giggles.
Gosh, that snow is awesome....got your house all snuggly and warm for the winter months....how awesome....I do hate projects in the cold!!!.....Here in good ole Mississippi we are just having some chilly nights....I thought you might want to know where I am located, since I barge in so much and comment....Sweet little boy and girl.., playing in the snow..I could watch your family life all day...
I am so happy for you guys! It has been a lot to live with, remodeling can be very stressful. Being warm and mouse free is much to celebrate. Maverick is growing by leaps and bounds!
Yeah a Thursday nite video:) I was watching something else but when I saw the notification I got super stoked and clicked over 😊 the house is coming along great. Thanks again for sharing your life and skills. Can't wait for the next video lol be blessed guys
Doug and Ashley, I couldn't be happier for you. Doug, you have amazing skills and what a partner in Ashley, you are like a little dynamo!!! God Bless you all!!!
First I have to say that I barely paid attention to what you were saying at the end because Maverick is one of the cutest little guys ever. He was so funny watching himself then getting shy then making little faces. You two are so blessed to have such beautiful and sweet children. Belle needs be helping Doug or standing next to him with Ashley's glasses on and see how long it would take for people to realize that it IS Belle. She is a spitting image of her mama. The progress on the house is awesome! I bet you can't wait to just be able to sit by the fire and have no big projects that have to be done to the house. It's coming, sooner, at the rate you are going, rather than later. :0)
So glad you are now not having to push so hard to get it done, now you can breathe and get it done without pushing yourselves so hard or so long, enjoy your breather, you have done a great job so far, looking forward to seeing the bathroom reveal. Them watch you proceed with the kitchen and hopefully your back door when it finally turns up, so glad you got a warm a cosy house before it got too cold
I remember my Daddy working on our walls, ceilings and attic. He always let us kids help. We all had confidence to take on our own house projects since we learned from the best. Good memories! ♥️🌺❤️
The house looks amazing you guys. Well done! Hi Maverick! It was so cute to see the chickens following the children to the coop! Love & luck from Seattle. ;)
A great job in getting the drywall up. Everything looks so clean. I have been enjoying watching the videos. You are two very talented people. You are making a house into a home. Great job.
Your son is sooooo adorable!!!! My family love your hardworking videos and we love how your wife helps you always with a smile in her beautiful face. We love you and always pray for you all. 🙏❣️
As I watch I know how relieved I feel, knowing you've gotten this far, and before the weather got too extreme. I cannot imagine how you guys must feel, being able to stop and breathe for a second!!!! EVERYTHING about you people make me smile. Can't wait to see it all come together!!!!! God bless! 🥰🥰
Watch us work on this home from the start!: ruclips.net/p/PLB6I6KoGYpp62Z2DQhIXgqBbDsBhDRijJ
I hate it when it's over. I really enjoy watching.
The chickens following the kids was the cutest! It's looking so good.
That looks beautiful! (Both the snow and the drywall)
Love the drawn skeleton. Love how the chix follow the kids, too.
So cute seeing those Chickens play Follow the Leader with Maverick & Belle!
Maverick smiling at the camera is too sweet

Ashley deserves a medal for coping with the demolition with 2 kids, the kids are so well behaved though . I know I couldnt do it lol

The end was adorable.
Yes, such little pied pipers, the chicks all following in a row.
so much hard work! And those chickens following the kids...priceless!
The ending was the cutest thing ever. I loved seeing the chickens following behind your adorable kiddos.
It's looking good - so cute to see Maverick watching himself in the camera!!
Love the kids with the chickens...
Your children are always so well mannered! I have been watching you for a 18 months and love every episode. You two are so blessed, love all of you!

It looks so fresh and open in there now. The last scene was so cute with the chickens chasing after. LOL.
Guess a club house for the kids with drywall on the inside is in the future. Just an idea :)
I'm genuinely relieved you finished before the cold weather really set in. Excellent work. Congratulations!

You could drywall the chicken coop with the leftovers 😂
You’re hard work is paying off, looking great.

I was so confused when you attached the trailer to the car without getting out, then I realised the buckets was moved out of the way. Nice editing!

Coming along great! You're in the home stretch now!
