I don’t think I’ve ever met as hard working couple, who does magnificent work and your tastes and ideas are very unique and pleasing to the eye! If I had to describe it in one word it would be ‘tranquil’!
I love you 💕 guys! I am 69 years old and know that you can do all this work but be careful you will feel every rafter on your feet and knees when you are my age, be good to yourself ! Again love and light to your family ❤️ always love!
Love the music! You literally have a brand new mobile home which is more like a manufactured home now but better: you can't beat the detailed work you do!
I just knew you'd do that ( insulation) since the opportunity was available 😉 Attention to detail and completeness. Yes sir!! Your home is going to be Soo warm this winter,, using less energy, less wood! Doug and Ashley the Power Couple !!! 💙💗😁
Save allot on heat bill. If a good storm comes they will be well protected from winds etc now. Amazing work. Ashley just digs right in. You two make a great couple and are wonderful parents, little guy coloring all his blocks. I did not under stand his jibber jabber but he was so happy and excited, Adorable little guy. Enjoy kids.
I have been watching your channel for about two years now and enjoy seeing your work ethic and simplicity of your makeovers. You take a lot of pride in all that you create and achieve in your daily life. Your children are a joy to see how they have grown and changed. I am very pleased to be one of your subscribers.
Wow! How you two can balance on those rafters to me is amazing, I would have misjudged and went thru the ceiling more then once:) It takes real guts to tackle a job that big with just the two of you, just amazing. Thanks for sharing, love the tunes:)
Nothing surprises me at what you accomplish, and your story telling and ability to teach and inform us so well. But each time your work and video production impress. It’s not a waste of our time to watch what you have to offer. Well done, keep applauding yourselves, you’ve earned it!!
You both look so amazing sitting together on that roof, when you are 80 you will say wow honey how did we do that? What a wonderful time in your lives, health, strong, and loving life!!! I am so happy for you. Thank you for sharing it with me.
What a huge undertaking...but you always manage to do it in style. Ashley is looking good in here jeans and adding to the beauty of your talents. Love you all
You have to be the hardest working man I have ever seen and I am in my sixties. IN my time that is how we did work but as time went by something happened and now I see you and I think WOW this is so great to see someone be so dedicated to his family and not just want someone else to do it at a cheap price. If I could send you something I would, it is on my mind.
I am so proud of you two not only for what you have accomplished on this homestead...But everything you have accomplished to get you here and to be debt free ..You are a wonderful example not only to young people But to anyone that wants to make a break for a more self sustainable life
Next video - quick skylight installation, new fun shaped skylights that you can share memories with while looking up at the stars. The Doug - is the latest model if you want a humanoid shaped skylight. Simple hole cutting installation. All you need is one human on roof and one person in the house to guide mattress in direction of the new POP THROUGH DOUG. 🙄🙄🙄
Your dexterity walking across those ceiling joists was impressive. I know I would have stepped through the ceiling a minimum of 3 times just working on moving the insulation back!!
Nice to see how much progress is being done!!!!! Congratulations on all the hard work you have put in your lovely home!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖 Keep strong! Xoxoxoxoxo from Greece 🇬🇷🇺🇸🌞
What i find amazing is that not only do you do such demanding physical work, you also film it and then edit it into an enjoyable vlog for us to watch and you do that over and over for little to no money and yet there are still some folks who feel the need to hit the don't like button. Well i for one are very impressed and grateful for your time, effort and content. I have learned loads from watching you and others who also share their knowledge and skills online. Thank you - i know i have said it before but you really deserve a thank you x
Glad that some sneaky gusts of wind didn't stop by for a visit when the blown in insulation was exposed. You know weather patterns, they have a mind of their own. 😊
It's exciting to see you getting at the roof. It's probably not as overwhelming doing it in stages like you're doing. Still a large job but it'll all be done before you know it. Thanks for sharing the progress.
One of my favorite podcasters passed away yesterday & I never shared with him how much I enjoyed his show. He was so young & you think you have plenty of time until you don't. I just want all 4 of you to know how much I love your show, I enjoy the knowledge you share & I appreciate you sharing it with us all. Thank you for sharing all your successes & tribulations. Much love & success in your endeavors. Sincerely your devoted follower & I hope it doesn't come off as creepy.
I asked about airflow up the shoot but now I see that they allowed for it when they nailed the wafer board strips on to the face side of the overhang. Doug you thought of everthing... Including that extension stick to help you line up the overhang at the same pitch as the rafters. Well done! 🤗
Phenomenal progress. All I can think of is how toasty warm you will all be inside when the first snow begins to fall. What a wonderful Autumn and winter you will have ahead of you. Rest well. 😊
Your family is so sweet! When I saw Ashley on the last video on the lawn chair watching over you it touched my heart. You two work so well as a team. I look forward to every video and love how creative you both are. It’s fun watching but I know it’s a ton of work and extremely hard. I learn so much from you all. Thanks and keep on keeping on!
Those overhangs really make the roof have a more finished look. Glad it’s going well and you both are keeping safe. Good to see Maverick. He’s growing allot this summer! Take care little family.
I’m exhausted watching all that work! Just you & your wife doing the work, but you both do the job of 10! Excellent! Pat yourselves on the back! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
You are really moving along on the roof. Great job, wish my house was as well insulated. Would sure help the electric bills in the summer. I live in Phoenix, AZ and we are having a dozy of a hot summer.
I would recommend putting that table saw on a table or saw horses. It would be safer and easier on the body. You are young and don't feel it now but when you get older you will.
Your energy...wish you could bottle it and share with us...lol....you and Ashley walking on the rafters like its no big deal...can't find enough words to express how much I admire you both..
You two lift my spirits every time I watch. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. With so much at a standstill these days we can count on you, Doug and Ashley, to keep your eyes on the prize and push on. I hope you know how very special you both are. Thanks, again!
That’s so great you worked out the insulation in your roof. You’re going to appreciate it so much in winter. You’re all going to stay warm and toasty this year. The roof is a huge job but at least you’re going to reap the benefits of it for many years to come. When finished, you will be able to say that you built that house all by yourselves and it will be just like a new house, everything replaced and new.
It's looking good. I stained our house using a ladder. I wore flimsy sandals resulting in causing plantar fasciitis to be in my feet. I got over it and next time I used a ladder for a length of time I wore work boots. Please watch your feet using a ladder with the shoes you're wearing. If your feet start hurting then switch shoes.
DIYfferent all the homesteaders are getting sponsors for aerate boots. Hollers homestead, Lumner acres, Cole the Cornstar. All say they are the best. Maybe they would sponsor you guys?
The only people that ever reach out to us for sponsorships have been Chinese companies and we've always declined. I highly doubt Ariat would ever want to sponsor us though, and we'd decline anyway. At this time we like our channel to be real and not feel like a commercial. Another thing is that Doug has very wide feet and it's almost impossible to find shoes/boots that are wide and healthy enough for him. Most shoes out there are not foot shaped and push the big toe in to a point and don't leave enough room so they cause bunyons and other foot problems. Just thought I'd share all that. Thanks though :)
@@diyfferent Check your stores. My husband found Wide shoes at Meijer. Possible Dunham's, Kohl's, etc carry Wide. My husband is always looking for 13 Wide everywhere.
Ash!! You are one of the Bravest women I have ever met.. My vertigo and fear of heights would have knocked me flat out!! Simply amazing the both of you!!!!
It is a huge project for sure, but you guys amaze me with your drive and determination. Doug is so creative in his thinking when faced with issues. He thinks outside the box, I love that about him.
You two are the epitome of helping hands! The way you work together and compliment each others tasks hand in hand is a beautiful gift to watch and that you share. I absolutely love watching your channel and cannot wait for the new episodes each week. Your workmanship and creativity go with out saying.......absolutely excellent and beyond! Team work is what marriage is all about and you both are the perfect examples of that. No marriage is without it's challenges and having the ability to stay cool and calm and agree on things after thinking them over and talking it through is the most important! Kudos and God bless you both for sharing parts of your life and work with us.......what a gift we receive from you! Love your idea of today and I will make a mental note of it if and when we ever need the same done again. Thank you so very much!
Now I understand how the eaves came down with the old sheeting in the last video. Mobilehome construction is a bit different than traditional home construction. LOL Good job fixing the insulation and the eaves!
I don’t think I’ve ever met as hard working couple, who does magnificent work and your tastes and ideas are very unique and pleasing to the eye! If I had to describe it in one word it would be ‘tranquil’!
I TOTALLY agree and have told them many times!💕
What a nice comment ❤❤

Wow, this is huge, it's really coming along! I swear you two are part Billy Goat!!!
I'll be glad when this part is finished. You two are scaring me to death hopping from rafter to rafter in your water shoes. Be safe.
your house is going to be so warm this coming winter!

It's coming along nicely. Good job.
Wow you guys are workaholics 💪🏻 I’m interested to see the projects once the whole house is done 😊
These kids better get a huuuge reward after this because mine would have completely destroyed the inside of the house while I was on the roof.
I'm a nervous wreck thinking it might rain before you get the roof back on!!!!! I'm sure you're probably prepared, though, with tarps and such.
Me too!! HaHa
me too
Me too!
I had the same thought. Please, please don’t rain🙏🏻
Same, I am praying for no wind or rain until the job is finished.

You take a lot of pride in all that you create and achieve in your daily life. Your children are a joy to see how they have grown and changed. I am very pleased to be one of your subscribers.
And we are pleased to have you! Thanks!
It’s good to find a couple that works together for there greater good of family love you guys 👍🏻
The music you guys played while you were putting on the eves was so calming. I was starting to fall asleep but I was invested in the build 😂
Solid eaves build with know how. You're having beautiful weather to work in, that's a blessing.
A labour of LOVE. A warm, clean, safe home for your wonderful family. Stay safe 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦

Your home should be fairly easy to heat in the winter........you’ve done such a great job insulating! Looks great!
You guys must be pretty confident that it isn’t going to rain, GREAT JOB !
I was happy to hear you say rafter ventilation- I was getting worried LOL!
You both look so amazing sitting together on that roof, when you are 80 you will say wow honey how did we do that? What a wonderful time in your lives, health, strong, and loving life!!! I am so happy for you. Thank you for sharing it with me.
I know your feet must be sore after walking on those rafters all day! You’re doing a great job on your home, don’t get discouraged!
I wonder if they could have tacked down a walk board.
What a huge undertaking...but you always manage to do it in style. Ashley is looking good in here jeans and adding to the beauty of your talents. Love you all

I don't know how you do it. I'm pretty sure I would have fallen through the ceiling at least a couple times by now.
aka skylight installation

ditto!
The only disappointing thing to your videos....is they end :( I've watched yall for a long time and I love your channel! Love you guys!!!! :-D
You've come so far!!! Happy to see you finishing the house! The finish line is near! Many greets from Switzerland 😃
I love how thorough you both are , no slacking on the work and doing it to last a long time
Your dexterity walking across those ceiling joists was impressive. I know I would have stepped through the ceiling a minimum of 3 times just working on moving the insulation back!!
May you continue to have good weather while you work on finishing the roof!
You do everything to perfection. Im happy it didn’t rain. I would have to wear a mask with that floating insulation. Another job done well!
I don't think I've ever seen anyone work as hard as you two do! Your home is going to be so warm and cozy and solid. Kudos!
Mavetick is building with wood just like his daddy.
You two are a great, creative team and work so hard. Great job.
Doug, I LOVE your and Ashley’s teamwork! She’s what the young folks call “ride or die”! She’s definitely a keeper! See you both next time!💕
Kudos to you, Ashley! I would never get on that roof when I was your age! I don’t like heights!
Wow, Great progress!! You both are amazing! You will have a cozy home this winter.
Looks like the rain didn't come, so glad! Everything you do is top notch and I enjoy watching your channel so much.
Nice to see how much progress is being done!!!!! Congratulations on all the hard work you have put in your lovely home!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖

omg the way maverick said "How, How did that HAP-PEEN" too stinking cute!!!!! good progress on the roof guys!
Glad that some sneaky gusts of wind didn't stop by for a visit when the blown in insulation was exposed. You know weather patterns, they have a mind of their own. 😊
That is an extremely well built house! Your attention to detail is awesome!
Loved the music choice when you were putting on the eves. Totally fit the vibe of ‘homesteading in the woods’. Use that more often 👍 Love y’all.
Wow that looked like a lot of hard work !!!
On the other hand you make it look so easy (I'm sure it's not) - well done both of you.
The mother in me says "don't fall!" You two are doing such a fantastic job! I keep watching every episode

Love watching all your renovations! Great job on all of them!
Look at Ms Ashley walking those rafters!! Definitely bringing up the r-value of insulation!! Great job to you both!!
Nice! That’s should make a huge difference.. way to do the best job possible!! Never easy.. always worth it. 😃😃

Maverick is the cutest little boy, that little part with him warmed my heart
Roofing is a massive task. Y'all amaze me.
I'll be praying for good weather for the next couple of days God bless my friends

Great after the issue fix on the roof. I tore one down to the rafters. It was the best decision I ever made. My house is much better insulated now.
Probably one of the hardest jobs that you will have to do on the whole house. Rooting you on from here! You can do it!
I'm amazed how you do things. It's looking so good. God Bless you and your family.
Great job you two! Love how you work together to accomplish the end goal! Maverick is so sweet.
I would never have thought you were overwhelmed, I would have been totally freaking out after demo day 1! You guys just kept working and got it done!
Hey guys let's show support at least by not skipping the ads. What an awesome job. It's looking really nice, Keep up the good work.
I get all excited like it was me being there l am glad for you'll and the channel perfect you'll always do everything right on point. 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤❤
One thing I really appreciate about you guys is that you never find anything too overwhelming to tackle it you can do it all.
Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! What a job. It looks so good too. Well, done you!

Those overhangs really make the roof have a more finished look. Glad it’s going well and you both are keeping safe. Good to see Maverick. He’s growing allot this summer! Take care little family.
This would have been the perfect time to add a bit more overhang to above the door. But great work anyway!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Yupper i was thinking thw same. Do an over hang above the door or come out even more for a front porch.
You know Doug...eventually he will have a full porch on the front screened in for Ashley!!
@@rosalindash6830 that would be awesome 💞
Oooh, yes! I grew up in Michigan, and many a summer night was spent sleeping on the screened porch!

How sore are your feet going up the ladder with soft sole shoes? I'm always impressed with the quality of work you two do, GOOD JOB!
Great job! My feet hurt watching you go up and down the ladder!😀 Loved the intermission with your "builder in training."
Wow what a big job .. You both rock 😂😂
