....which is why we feel the new owners have obtained a diamond! Aside from the lovely land surrounding the property, the work done on this house was top notch...we envy the new owners. 😊💐
I can't explain in words Barry, your explanation in the "feelings" of the house, birthdays/Christmas's, tells us what kind of person you are and also your sweet interactions/words with Molly. You took a tired home and made her into a beauty. Praying the best for your family and on to more adventures 🙏
Yes Barb! Who knew that Barry has a hidden soft spot for all the things he spoke of....I actually got tears as he was describing the lifetime events of the original owners...and knowing it ended in hospice just grabbed my heart. Barry (and obviously Molly too) comes from two wonderfully kind parents-and it shows.
I already have a carport, so the lack of doors on the area under the house doesn't bother me...but I do love the idea of having a root cellar there! You guys did such a good job with everything. Thanks for sharing this renovation. Blessings to all of you.
Not gonna lie- I will miss your reno vids. My passion for saving old houses is saddened & I'll really miss your do-it-right mentality. Best wishes for the next pursuit. 👍👍
I greatly enjoyed this series. Part of me is sad that there will be no more of this type of thing, but I totally understand you not doing anymore. I'm sure it was stressful besides being labor intensive. I am so glad that God allowed it to sell quickly!! It is a real gem of a property! Looking forward to seeing what you do with your old barn.
What a beautiful home. The new owners will have a fantastic place to live. All the choices you made were perfect. I look at this house and dream what it would be like to live there. I too would want a food storage area, large garden, larger window in the 'den', swings, paint the front door a cheerful color, A dream home. Thank you for sharing
I didn’t have any questions because you were so informative during the process. It was fun watching this entire process topped off by what you would or wouldn’t do differently. I am looking forward to watching your shop come into being and seeing the art you’re going to make!
The design choices are pleasing. The new family can live comfortably and slowly transform to their own tastes. If I had a formal living room, it would remain empty or turn into a playroom. I’m still having trouble trying to outfit my great room. Putting stairs and making the fourth garage a root cellar is a great idea.
I thought it was very well planned out. Not everything is what I would have chosen but I felt everything you did would work for anyone who bought the home. Its a beautiful retored home that the buyer can make their own easily. Again...well done❣👏 and blessings to you and Molly for your future plans!!🙏🕊
Debt free, you are right. I was always that way and inflation has made it impossible. I'm retired and disabled and will be getting a part-time job, I hope. Not having debt is the most stress free way to live and I'm going to get back to it. I talked to God and he agreed. I love your videos and you guys are hardworking and good folks. Stay well and God bless you.
The place looks absolutely beautiful!! The fact that it is under contract in Bidens economy is a testament to the fantastic job you all have done!! It was a pleasure to watch the progress. Thanks for sharing.
@@paulh1745 Apparently you didn't read the second half of my comment where I said "We're just happy it's under contract". I count my blessings every day... 5 months ago, when we bought the house, housing prices were much higher than they are now. If we had bought the house now we would have paid MUCH less. Our realtor said that had we sold it, all fixed up, the day after we bought it, the price would have been much higher. So, yes, I did think about it. Also "Maybe you naysayers ought to try that for a change"? Really? Thank you for lumping me in with people who don't care. You have no idea who I am, you just come across angry. :)
Whomever gets the home will be twice blessed and I hope and pray they regard it in the same way you all have. Beautiful home beautiful job. Such talented men and ladies in your family. Love the home and wishing it was mine as many would treasure it. Blessings and Peace
You made some good neutral choices for the new owners. I agree the mantle really needs a larger piece of wood and I'd had a gas range. I would have loved a drop in or wall oven though. I still think that a concrete stain on the exterior stone would have been a good decision, because that's not like paint, but you guys did a GREAT job! Hope you made what you need. A renovation is hard work.
As renovators we have to give as many simple options as possible for the future home owners. The Main goal should always be: put a house on the market without surprises! BUT an ewok village who wouldn't love that!!
What a gem! I cracked up that someone would think a bear would move in!! 😂😂😂😂 My favorite idea of what you mentioned would be to build a wall, door and stairs and turn it into cold storage to go along with the giant garden! You all have done a beautiful job!
It has been great to see you start and finish this project, and it is so beautiful! It is meaningful that this was a house/home rescue as well as a financial endeavor. I'm glad you shared how you personally felt about taking on this project. All of you put a lot of good vibes into this beautiful place! I'm glad it is selling so fast which I was sure it would! I would love to meet the new homeowners and hear them talk about how much they love it and anticipate living there and what they might have in mind for the carport and adding a few things to what you have so expertly done to this really great property! That would be a really nice final video! You might be able to convince them to do that! They would get a lot of love from a lot of people out here - kind of a digital house warming! I think we have a personal feeling about the home and want to know what happens next, who is going to live there? Not that it's any of our business of course! It's great that now you can start on your own project, which sounds awesome!!
I don't judge you, and think you did a great job. You made sure the house is really nice , but if they want it different they can change it. You went that extra mile to make sure it was nice and a value. I wish we could have bought it but we can't afford it. You did a great job with everything!!!!!
What a wonderful, interesting video this was. It really helped us to understand the thought process behind everything. It's amazing how much you considered every detail with the buyer in mind. Molly's artistic touches everywhere was a huge contribution to the project. Well done, gorgeous result and congrats on the sale! We'll stick with you guys for whatever next is coming this way.
Maybe my favorite video to date?? !! The majority of the home was done as if you were going to live there. I know all the work done was top notch!!!Berry you should feel great about offering this wonderful home!!! Enjoy the rewards of a job well done!! God Speed on finalizing sell!! You are very deserving !! God bless you Molly and your family. I loved this entire series!! Plan to go back a re-watch some videos for ,fun,comparison!!!
I like the personal "funkiness" you guys prefer in design of a home you would own and occupy. You made good decisions for a property that you are selling. Good job all around.
I went back today and watched the "Cycle of Support" Series. Surely the Master was with you, as even at my advanced age I have never been privileged to view such an intensely vocal piece - even though it is audibly silent.
I totally love all the choices that were made to the home. It's funny that you mentioned the Ewok village, I thought that with all those trees it would make a great tree house village for the grandkids and for adults too. Making a cold storage out of the underground bay would be a great thing to have for all my canning and food preservation for sure. So many wonderful opportunities with the property. Take care and God bless you all
The underneath root cellar idea would delight me. Your solar, garden, water tank, etc. are dreamy. 1000% better for me. That house has a different market than weirdo me ;) I would never paint that exterior stone. Match the paint to work. I am too dirty for carpet, oops, plants, gardening, pets, and me. I like washable rugs.
Excellent video! We homesteaders definitely think differently. I was making personal modifications as you went along. My field was full of sheep. The chicken coops were going in the backyard. There would also be better fencing all around and a gate by the road. The dogs need freedom to roam the whole property.
Love hearing your thoughts on the whole project and what you might have done to personalize the home for your own family. We too live debt free as seniors, yet we know folks our age (70’s) or older who still have mortgages and car loans; they always complain about a lack of money. You are still in the prime of life and have already secured your family’s future by following Biblical principles and living without debt. May God continue to Bless you all.
The new owners are so fortunate just with the quality of workmanship. I hope they see (if they haven't already) your videos on the entire renovation. You should be extremely proud/pleased with what you all did. Can't wait to see what's next. Continued blessings!!!!
Love the root cellar idea. Maybe the new owners will do that. Like the idea of a wall dividing the main garage. We would do that so my husband could have separated mechanic and woodworking shops, but so many people want to park 2 cars inside. Best let the new owner decide. Like using the cistern. I hope the new owner does. Seems like a very attractive property for someone who wants to be as self sustaining as possible, so maybe so. Found the music room idea interesting. Formal living rooms are so seldom used and that would be a very good use of the space. Found it humorous that the men like carpet and the woman don't. As a woman who has struggled and failed to keep carpet clean, I love the hard floors in my current home, but my husband still longs for carpet. He likes the cushy surface underfoot. I have always preferred clean smooth floors.
Whoever buys this house will be getting an instant money maker That kitchen is a great set up for a cooking channel that could rival Paula Deen Also, If the new owners wanted to start a You Tube channel show casing it as a homestead they would have an instant following with subscribers from Empty Hammock and Live simple, live free channels who have followed this remodel
Really enjoyed watching this renovation here and at your parent's channel; love what you said about the reason behind saving this old beauty at the end of the video. 🧡 You all did a wonderful job, and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Cheers!
Berry and Molly you have good tast I like everything you said you would have done if you were building for yourself. Looking forward to the next video God bless you both .
That was very interesting. No surprise it's (most likely/hopefully) sold already. It's a beautiful house renovated with great care. Well done again, you all.
Congratulations you two!! It's a beautiful house and the fact that you did this to save and preserve a home that had only one owner is honorable! As an artist myself, good luck on your future endeavors and I hope to see some of your creations in the future! 🙏🇺🇸
This is one of my favorite videos. I enjoyed the natural and sometimes playful interaction between the two of you. I chuckled through many parts because I could picture the Ewok village in the backyard with zip lines...haahaa🤣 and a jungle of plants cascading over that bedroom window seat. ❤️ Thanks for giving me my "first smile", this morning! God bless you, both as you fulfill His plans for your lives. 🙏❤️🙏
Cool hobbies that both of you have (sans the deer hunting). Gardening, music, video, artwork---love it. I'm into playing percussion instruments, comic strips, and gardening lite. May you find the Lord's purpose for you in all of those things and more. Blessings.
I agree - let the new owners decide on some of the things they may want to change for their life style. These people will be able to enjoy a nice clean solid home for many years to come! Be Blessed!
Dang Brother, I was in hopes of getting you to Ohio to redo my place... Love all the work and the commitment that everyone of you did to that place. It should last many more generations... Blessings.. By the way, I was just kidding about bringing you to work on my pace but, love the quality of work you do..
I love weird people. Loved that stone fireplace as well and very much miss my NJ home with a beautiful fireplace that I would load with wood from my storage bin on my deck (this renovation reminds me so much of my former house and property, including french doors off kitchen to the deck! 🤗) Congratulations you two!!! Well done!
The house is wonderful and I love it! The yard is absolutely amazing, my dream yard. It would be like living in a beautiful park. Congratulations to the new owners for winning the bid for their new home. 🎉
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this. God bless Take care. Love you and all of your family. You all are great❤
Ruth here, like mom said, there is no perfect house!! So ya make the best of the house ya have, l would not paint the stone, yes, the less maintenance the better!!! God bless you, l learn so much from watching folks like you!
Barry, you did a wonderful job. In one of my comments I said you learned from your dad. I didn't mean to say that you don't have your own skills, as we can see you do. Just meant it as a compliment that you and your dad worked well together. I've heard Bill say that he marvels at your skills. It shows how well you know your business. So take the compliment that I think you are a great builder and the work you do is excellent. Congrats on all your hard work !!!
All of the design and color choices you made in this renovation were brilliant! Of course, if you were renovating the home for yourself, you would have made different choices, but since this home was being renovated for resale, you made the absolute right choices by giving the new buyer a neutral blank palette upon which to add their personal tastes and preferences. I am willing to bet that the new owner will not be making too many changes since Molly's design and color selections were so spot on especially the kitchen design and color selections. The black shutters on the exterior were a great final touch! Good to hear that it looks like you have found a buyer at the price that you want. I was astounded when I heard how low the asking price was for this home. In Canada where I am from you will not find a home of this size that is essentially brand new on that amount of STUNNING acreage for less than a million dollars even in the smallest cities (in the Toronto area this would easily be over $2 million). I will say that I'm sorry to hear that this is your last complete home renovation. I first came to your channel when you renovated the hoarder home which was a great series and this project with your dad went even faster with spectacular results. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.
I like what you did to the house. You took your time in and made it like a home and that's what I like about her. Saying that to say this, I'm living in my mother's and father's house and I need it renovated from the route all the way down to the piping. I was looking for someone to redo my parent's house bring it up-to-date. And I like your work. Thank you for sharing and giving me a better understanding. Be blessed in your career and I know more doors I'm going to open for you again thank you for sharing
Was interesting hearing about the things that you’d do differently and those you thought were perfect for your family. Had to laugh at the bear fears. 💕
Thanks for a fantastic video that I didn't even know was needed. While I've been a little bummed out about y'all being finished-this perked me up when you started talking about your studio...YAY!- more videos to come. Would love to see videos of Molly canning with the seasons food available and teaching us how to do it. I am so old, it's been too long, AND I have forgotten how
You both did a fantastic job with this home. I'm sure the new owners are going to love this home. Barry, you and Molly are awesome home renovation experts. And should make it apart of who you both are becoming, sad you are leaving the hobby. Also I'm sure you appreciate the help from your parents and children.
I think the house turned out amazing. I would consider it a blessing to buy. You all have done an amazing job. I really love that you allow God to lead your way and your life.
I would have definitely taken the 1970's spindles out at the front door and opened up that entrance way, also would have taken those hideous black grids off the windows for sure! I would have put the electrical plugs on the side of the island and not on top. I hate those round circles on top of the island. You did a good job on the renovation as a whole but I would have changed a few things. Everybody see things different. You will sell it anyways. Hope you make a good profit.
Loved this "share-from-the-heart" time. Loved hearing your reasons for wanting to renovate this house, that you wanted to give it another life, to produce a home for another family to love and celebrate life and living in. Makes my heart sing to think of the quality work ethic you and your dad put into this house that will become someone's home. I hope the new owners realize the treasure they have. Blessings to you all.
You all did a fabulous job on this house! I sincerely wanted to purchase this home for my homestead and would have my garden and cellar. Fantastic idea for the basement garage. Unfortunately I couldn't get my Florida home sold in time. All in God's plan. Thanks for sharing your ideas. 🤗🙏🇺🇸🌻
I follow many channels, but there are few that I follow because I feel they are not sincere!! Thank you for the nice words in the final minutes of the video, I was moved! Waiting for the next projects, I already miss home 🏡 São Paulo - Brasil
I showed this video to my future husband cuz he wanted three garages and I wanted a downstairs and a place to make a garden sad to hear it was up for sale and it was already taken I sent the video anyways telling him to look for a place something like yours which will be hard to find
Molly is right about carpet. Even if you go barefoot, after a few months it is still like walking on dirty sweaters - yuck yuck. Carpets are dirt, germ, and odor magnets - for years. The colors are perfect Molly! Garages are for cars. Build a shop if needed.
However, the more germs you're exposed to over time the better your immune system. I work in some of the most disgusting places on the planet and I never get sick! So, logically, we should have carpet everywhere! For our health! :P
Agreed. Not a germaphobe here either. But still don’t care for the idea of walking on dirty sweaters. Add area rugs if needed. Love following the work you do. We have been looking for a few years for a similar property. For the areas of the country we are looking, and for the OUTSTANDING work y’all did on this house… someone is getting a steal. May God richly bless you, Molly, and your father. Much mad respect from us. ✝️👍
Thanks for a fantastic video that I didn't even know was needed. While I've been a little bummed out about y'all being finished-this perked me up when you started talking about your studio...YAY!- more videos to come. Would love to see videos of Molly canning with the seasons food available and teaching us how to do it. It's been too long, AND I have forgotten how thanks to a traumatic brain injury. Watching someone do things is how I now learn best. Thanks to you all for the best renovation series I have ever watched. Great job everyone!
Hey there, me too. Mine happened at work, a box was pushed off of a shelf and landed of my head in 2017. Can't believe it was 5 years ago. Sometimes it feels like it just happened but I've had a lot of progress. Concept of time is a bit messed up. But yeah, learning something new and remembering the how to's of anything always goes better with a video. And even then I repeatedly rewatch everything! So canning videos etc would be great.
Hi Bruce Im new to your channel ,I watch your parents channel lots. I'm so happy for your mom being able to go down to Florida. She seems very happy. Bruce you did a great job with that reno. I enjoyed watching it on you're dads channel. Can't wait till the next venture . Take care
Super impressed by you and your very talented and skilled family. You’ve given that house a beautiful restoration. Well done!! Thanks for sharing the journey. Looking forward to your future projects.
Thanks for sharing this little tidbit. My idea for one of my former back yards would have been what you said about Barry's plus part of it could have accommodated my hubby as well because he loved to hunt. Anyway job well done and GOD bless your family! 😊🤗💝🙏🕊☕
I would also have gone with all the different things you said you would have done if you were to live there. I must think a lot like you guys do. The ropes swings ect. In back yard would be for my grandkids! My plants would also be on the window seat! wish I could buy it, but I am happy that someone will enjoy it.good job!! Thx for this series My
Hey there 👋 what a beautiful job you guys did you should be proud I really like the idea of a studio I play drums also love it ok love you guys 🙏🏻❤️👍✌️
....which is why we feel the new owners have obtained a diamond! Aside from the lovely land surrounding the property, the work done on this house was top notch...we envy the new owners. 😊💐

Gonna miss the home renovations and I'm glad you shared your journey with us. Will be great to see your studio project and artwork.
I'm looking forward to seeing it too... :)
This house had amazing bones. I’m so glad you were able to save it for future generations! You all did a wonderful job!!
I kinda knew this house would go fast. It's absolutely beautiful.
I greatly enjoyed this series. Part of me is sad that there will be no more of this type of thing, but I totally understand you not doing anymore. I'm sure it was stressful besides being labor intensive. I am so glad that God allowed it to sell quickly!! It is a real gem of a property! Looking forward to seeing what you do with your old barn.
Well, Shawn is still at it! :)

...
maaaaybee... :)

I grew up working with him so it was already very familiar.. :)
The place looks absolutely beautiful!! The fact that it is under contract in Bidens economy is a testament to the fantastic job you all have done!! It was a pleasure to watch the progress. Thanks for sharing.
If it wasn't his economy it would have gone for 50k more.... But, we're just happy it's under contract..

That fireplace rock is stellar. It is what today’s buyer wants. It can go either mid century modern, modern or traditional. A wise move to keep it.
👍

yes
So many people have allergy issues today that solid surface floors do make sense.
Okay so there's ONE reason... :P
All of you did a great job updating the house. It is something to be proud of. You will have to show us your new shop.
Plan on it!

I liked hearing all your “if we kept it” ideas…
I’ll be watching for your next chapter.
I’m debt free and I respect those values.
God Bless.
:)
Really enjoyed watching this renovation here and at your parent's channel; love what you said about the reason behind saving this old beauty at the end of the video. 🧡 You all did a wonderful job, and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Cheers!
Berry and Molly you have good tast I like everything you said you would have done if you were building for yourself.
Looking forward to the next video God bless you both .
Root cellar is a wonderful idea for that space!
Congratulations!!! Fantastic job. The new owners are lucky people. Thanks for sharing. Becky from Kansas City
That was very interesting. No surprise it's (most likely/hopefully) sold already. It's a beautiful house renovated with great care. Well done again, you all.
Congratulations you two!! It's a beautiful house and the fact that you did this to save and preserve a home that had only one owner is honorable! As an artist myself, good luck on your future endeavors and I hope to see some of your creations in the future! 🙏🇺🇸
I plan to bring everyone along
You did a great job. Not only did you put some of your touches into the home but you thought of the future owners.
Excellent points, such a good job.
Beautiful family and outstanding work.
This is one of my favorite videos. I enjoyed the natural and sometimes playful interaction between the two of you. I chuckled through many parts because I could picture the Ewok village in the backyard with zip lines...haahaa🤣 and a jungle of plants cascading over that bedroom window seat. ❤️ Thanks for giving me my "first smile", this morning! God bless you, both as you fulfill His plans for your lives. 🙏❤️🙏
:)
Smart smart smart! A great way to do things to achieve what you want. Onward and upwards!! Congratulations and a job well done.
Cool hobbies that both of you have (sans the deer hunting). Gardening, music, video, artwork---love it. I'm into playing percussion instruments, comic strips, and gardening lite. May you find the Lord's purpose for you in all of those things and more. Blessings.
I would love a backyard playground like you described.
I agree - let the new owners decide on some of the things they may want to change for their life style. These people will be able to enjoy a nice clean solid home for many years to come! Be Blessed!
Dang Brother, I was in hopes of getting you to Ohio to redo my place... Love all the work and the commitment that everyone of you did to that place. It should last many more generations... Blessings.. By the way, I was just kidding about bringing you to work on my pace but, love the quality of work you do..
I love weird people. Loved that stone fireplace as well and very much miss my NJ home with a beautiful fireplace that I would load with wood from my storage bin on my deck (this renovation reminds me so much of my former house and property, including french doors off kitchen to the deck! 🤗) Congratulations you two!!! Well done!
This was an awesome undertaking. You two are fun to watch doing God's work and spreading His Word! PTL
The house is wonderful and I love it! The yard is absolutely amazing, my dream yard. It would be like living in a beautiful park. Congratulations to the new owners for winning the bid for their new home. 🎉
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this. God bless Take care. Love you and all of your family. You all are great❤
Ruth here, like mom said, there is no perfect house!! So ya make the best of the house ya have, l would not paint the stone, yes, the less maintenance the better!!!
God bless you, l learn so much from watching folks like you!
:)
Barry, you did a wonderful job. In one of my comments I said you learned from your dad. I didn't mean to say that you don't have your own skills, as we can see you do. Just meant it as a compliment that you and your dad worked well together. I've heard Bill say that he marvels at your skills. It shows how well you know your business. So take the compliment that I think you are a great builder and the work you do is excellent. Congrats on all your hard work !!!
:)
I pray God continues to Bless you. 😭 You made me 😢 cry
All of the design and color choices you made in this renovation were brilliant! Of course, if you were renovating the home for yourself, you would have made different choices, but since this home was being renovated for resale, you made the absolute right choices by giving the new buyer a neutral blank palette upon which to add their personal tastes and preferences. I am willing to bet that the new owner will not be making too many changes since Molly's design and color selections were so spot on especially the kitchen design and color selections. The black shutters on the exterior were a great final touch!
Good to hear that it looks like you have found a buyer at the price that you want. I was astounded when I heard how low the asking price was for this home. In Canada where I am from you will not find a home of this size that is essentially brand new on that amount of STUNNING acreage for less than a million dollars even in the smallest cities (in the Toronto area this would easily be over $2 million).
I will say that I'm sorry to hear that this is your last complete home renovation. I first came to your channel when you renovated the hoarder home which was a great series and this project with your dad went even faster with spectacular results. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.
Thanks for sticking around.. :)
I like what you did to the house. You took your time in and made it like a home and that's what I like about her. Saying that to say this, I'm living in my mother's and father's house and I need it renovated from the route all the way down to the piping. I was looking for someone to redo my parent's house bring it up-to-date. And I like your work. Thank you for sharing and giving me a better understanding. Be blessed in your career and I know more doors I'm going to open for you again thank you for sharing
Was interesting hearing about the things that you’d do differently and those you thought were perfect for your family. Had to laugh at the bear fears. 💕
Thanks for a fantastic video that I didn't even know was needed. While I've been a little bummed out about y'all being finished-this perked me up when you started talking about your studio...YAY!- more videos to come. Would love to see videos of Molly canning with the seasons food available and teaching us how to do it. I am so old, it's been too long, AND I have forgotten how
Very entertaining video. Following the destiny the Lord has planned out for you is the right decision. God bless your family 🎯❤️
You are really cool guy's! Love the down to earth way of things you did to the house.
Fantastic presentation. You are so very good together. Congratulations!!
21 years and counting.. :)
You both did a fantastic job with this home.
I'm sure the new owners are going to love this home.
Barry, you and Molly are awesome home renovation experts.
And should make it apart of who you both are becoming, sad you are leaving the hobby.
Also I'm sure you appreciate the help from your parents and children.
It was an integral part of who I WAS. I need to move on.. :)
I think the house turned out amazing. I would consider it a blessing to buy. You all have done an amazing job. I really love that you allow God to lead your way and your life.
It's the best way.. :)
I love this channel!!! You both!!!! Are true blessings
Great video, love you guys. I agree completely about the spindles in the foyer, they should go.
You made perfect decisions for a more blank slate to sell the house.
I would have definitely taken the 1970's spindles out at the front door and opened up that entrance way, also would have taken those hideous black grids off the windows for sure! I would have put the electrical plugs on the side of the island and not on top. I hate those round circles on top of the island. You did a good job on the renovation as a whole but I would have changed a few things. Everybody see things different. You will sell it anyways. Hope you make a good profit.
Loved this "share-from-the-heart" time. Loved hearing your reasons for wanting to renovate this house, that you wanted to give it another life, to produce a home for another family to love and celebrate life and living in. Makes my heart sing to think of the quality work ethic you and your dad put into this house that will become someone's home. I hope the new owners realize the treasure they have. Blessings to you all.
I knew the house would be under contract quickly! God is good and he knows your heart. Thank you so much for bringing us along!
Missing you & your family! 🌹
You all did a fabulous job on this house! I sincerely wanted to purchase this home for my homestead and would have my garden and cellar. Fantastic idea for the basement garage. Unfortunately I couldn't get my Florida home sold in time. All in God's plan. Thanks for sharing your ideas. 🤗🙏🇺🇸🌻
That's funny, most people are trying to move TO Florida, not leave. :)
I follow many channels, but there are few that I follow because I feel they are not sincere!!
Thank you for the nice words in the final minutes of the video, I was moved!
Waiting for the next projects, I already miss home 🏡
São Paulo - Brasil
Thanks for the video. Been watching the whole renovation and it's nice to see the personal side of it too.
Yes…no carpet!! So MUCH cleaner!
I showed this video to my future husband cuz he wanted three garages and I wanted a downstairs and a place to make a garden sad to hear it was up for sale and it was already taken I sent the video anyways telling him to look for a place something like yours which will be hard to find
:)
Molly is right about carpet. Even if you go barefoot, after a few months it is still like walking on dirty sweaters - yuck yuck. Carpets are dirt, germ, and odor magnets - for years.
The colors are perfect Molly! Garages are for cars. Build a shop if needed.
However, the more germs you're exposed to over time the better your immune system. I work in some of the most disgusting places on the planet and I never get sick! So, logically, we should have carpet everywhere! For our health! :P
Agreed. Not a germaphobe here either. But still don’t care for the idea of walking on dirty sweaters. Add area rugs if needed.
Love following the work you do. We have been looking for a few years for a similar property. For the areas of the country we are looking, and for the OUTSTANDING work y’all did on this house… someone is getting a steal.
May God richly bless you, Molly, and your father. Much mad respect from us. ✝️👍
Thanks for a fantastic video that I didn't even know was needed. While I've been a little bummed out about y'all being finished-this perked me up when you started talking about your studio...YAY!- more videos to come. Would love to see videos of Molly canning with the seasons food available and teaching us how to do it. It's been too long, AND I have forgotten how thanks to a traumatic brain injury. Watching someone do things is how I now learn best. Thanks to you all for the best renovation series I have ever watched. Great job everyone!
Hey there, me too. Mine happened at work, a box was pushed off of a shelf and landed of my head in 2017. Can't believe it was 5 years ago. Sometimes it feels like it just happened but I've had a lot of progress. Concept of time is a bit messed up. But yeah, learning something new and remembering the how to's of anything always goes better with a video. And even then I repeatedly rewatch everything! So canning videos etc would be great.
Well done. Everything was good basic decisions. Enjoyed watching it unfold. Blessings !!!
Great job! It’ll sell quick!
Hi Bruce Im new to your channel ,I watch your parents channel lots. I'm so happy for your mom being able to go down to Florida. She seems very happy. Bruce you did a great job with that reno. I enjoyed watching it on you're dads channel. Can't wait till the next venture . Take care
Glad to hear you guys are already under contract!
Super impressed by you and your very talented and skilled family. You’ve given that house a beautiful restoration. Well done!! Thanks for sharing the journey. Looking forward to your future projects.
Thanks for sharing this little tidbit. My idea for one of my former back yards would have been what you said about Barry's plus part of it could have accommodated my hubby as well because he loved to hunt.
Anyway job well done and GOD bless your family!
😊🤗💝🙏🕊☕
Love everything you all did on this place. Thanks for sharing
I would also have gone with all the different things you said you would have done if you were to live there. I must think a lot like you guys do. The ropes swings ect. In back yard would be for my grandkids! My plants would also be on the window seat! wish I could buy it, but I am happy that someone will enjoy it.good job!! Thx for this series
My
Hey there 👋 what a beautiful job you guys did you should be proud I really like the idea of a studio I play drums also love it ok love you guys 🙏🏻❤️👍✌️
