Less talking John!! 😅😅😅
Wow….nothing like a time crunch to get going and doing it all at once. Would be great if you had a microphone…less echo for us. Can’t wait to see it all done. Looks really nice with the wood around the shower.
John you work so hard. Take time to relax so you don’t become ill. I am sure that Tara’s parents will understand if things are not perfect. You are a dear man for all you do.
Your friend Pat from Michigan, USA.
Thanks Pat! We love having family over, even when things might still be a bit chaos. Let’s see if we can get it all done 🙏🏼
I’m out of breathe waching you,John. I’ll,have a glass,of wine and you go,get your beer.🍷
Don’t John, you in laws are coming! 🫣
Poor John. The tiny house was good enough for his Mum.
@@Noniinthebush but that was 1… her parents are 2… more space needed… maybe ? Sister too? They will will have fun.
There's a saying I read recently and now I recite it all the time, " 'My house is never cleaner than the 10 minutes before someone arrives!" Well done Newby's everything is coming along, and of course, Crusoe's 2 pencil supervisory technique does the trick again!!!
Exactly that Courtney haha couldn’t have said it better myself!
That is why I like to invite friends and family over. It keeps me on my toes.
Thumbs 👍 UP EVERYONE FOR JOHN WEARING A MASK!!! 👍 FOR TARA CRACKING US UP WITH THE CLOCK ALONG THE WAY!
Leave the top of the shower open to let the steam moisture out
John before drilling a hole in tiles, i was always told to use a strong tape, cover the place you intend to drill into, never get a crack
Thanks friend! Great to hear from you 🙏🏼
Thats working perfekt, wie did that and no cracks at all.
Or else a ceramic drill bit
Similarly, painters tape for a nail hole, plaster won't crack!
John's mom is adorable.
Thank you Ken ❤️❤️
I so agree; what a lovely lady. So glad she was made comfortable; I wondered if she would end up in a tent in the not garage!
Crusoe with matching pencils behind his ears. My heart. These little kids are so blessed to have this life you’re giving them ❤.
He loves being just like his dad ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
Your paint work will be pretty gritty given it looks like you didn’t dust or vacuum before painting, but rustic and not smooth might be what you are going for!! Love the white ceiling and walls!!
I was thinking the same thing!!
🙏🏼
You are a good man. If I had cracked that tile, under those circumstances, it would have gone from a family friendly channel to mature audience only in about half a second.
😂
****!!! Oops, did I say that out loud?
😂😂😂
If you put a barrier on top of the shower you will prevent air circulation and water will collect on all surfaces in the shower.
I always wondered why older houses had that cove. I always thought it made it too dark in the bath/shower area. But now I know why they did that.
Sometimes, I wonder how youtubers survive the criticism and "friendly suggestions" in the comments. I watch your channel and feel and see the love in it. I also appreciate that you don't pander to excitement and entertainment and just share parts of your lives. Work-life balance is challenging, and you are really doing such a great job.
I look forward to your videos after a long day on our farm in SA. Seeing you doing projects encourages me to keep doing mine. Almost finished our chicken cop!
Thanks for the awesome content ❤
Thanks for all your lovely support Heidi. Sometimes it isn’t nice reading negative comments but we just move on from them and focus on the positives 😊🙏🏼
Oh my gosh I was so nervous for you! John is an absolute rock star!
Thanks Lynn! John is an absolute machine, so proud of him ❤️❤️
I love❤ the way in when you always ( no matter busy you might be) make time for your boys! I’m sure this molds them into special, confident and loved❤individuals!!
Thank you for this beautiful comment and compliment Cassandra! You are so kind ❤️❤️
Watch John work like mad; exhausted just seeing it all. Amazing 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
John you are iamazing, never seen a man work so hard, with such passion, love for his family, all is looking stunning.😊😊😊
Thank you for this beautiful comment Jenny ❤️❤️
And that sanding is THE most annoying thing while you are building. You may say it's bumming but I hate sanding the walls. Thankfully I have only log-walls in this second house. But sanding shipping containers for our children...oh mine!! I just don't like it either.😂 I could feel your pain while you were sanding....that dust goes everywhere. But well done..you made it through. All the best for your lovely family. Beautiful space again.
Oh, the bathroom is looking wonderful , with John beavering away as usual. If it's not completely finished, I'm sure Tara's parents will understand. It's all coming along so well. Good luck 👍
He is working so so hard Jacqui, I am so thankful and proud of him 🙏🏼
I thought Obie chewing on the cardboard was the cutest thing until I saw Crusoe with the pencils behind his ears! My heart is full! 💙
Love to hear that your heart is full Joanne ❤️❤️
The bathroom is looking beautiful. Of course, the pencils behind Crusoe's ears (just like Daddy's) cracked me up. Have a lovely visit with Tara's folks.
Thanks so much friend!
What a monumental effort in one day. John under pressure is a warrior. Well done. Hope the outlaws appreciate all your hard work!
Thanks so much Maeve, we are so excited to have them come stay 🙏🏼
Crusoe cracks me up every time! Quite the little job foreman! Those two pencils on his ears says it all! Expert level! Just ask him!❤️❤️❤️❤️😄
So sweet isn't he Valerie ❤️❤️
You need a wagner paint sprayer John , when you have rooms that empty its a game changer mate
Thanks for this friend. Will check it out 🙏🏼
I know the pressure of getting ready for guests. But, oh my, you two. Needing to build and tidy the house for company takes that pressure to a stratospheric level. You're amazing.
Thanks friend 🙏🏼
Bread was the program, set in Liverpool and a scouser family called the Boswells - Freddie and Nellie were the parents. Loved that program at the time 😂😂
Am I the only one yelling at the tv “John, grout the damn tiles or nobody can use the damn shower with or without the glass!!!”
Your mind has just shut down because you are overwhelmed with all the things you need to have done. Bless. ❤
Hi Teresa. Keen to get the wood work in place before completing the grouting and sealing, that way I can ensure it’s all watertight at the same time. Good observation friend.
It takes a couple of days for the grout to cure, so yes, I was hoping he would get to that as well. 😊
Yes, as soon as John showed the bathroom I thought "the grout isn't going to be done by tomorrow for showering." And he probably should have wiped the dust off the walls before painting. Oh well. It is what it is. 🤭
@@keithdavis262 Funny, I thought exactly the same but as you said "oh well!"
John, it is all looking amazing! Thank you for taking the moment to pause and smell the flowers… it is all about the small moments. I loved Crusoe and his pencils and Sawyers “toilet”…
It is all about the small moments Rebecca ❤️❤️
All I can say is WOW 👏! YOU ROCK! Amazing job! Everything looks SO nice! Your flower garden is exceptionally lovely! I too appreciate how you always take the time to give attention & loving respect to the boys even under stress! Good on yeh! LOVE your progress...mostly all DYI!❤🎉🌼🏡🤟🌻💞
Thanks so much Leanna ❤️❤️
Just a reminder, it's ok if things aren't always perfect, because at the end all you'll remember is the fact that you created this beautiful home for your loved ones and its all part of the process 🙏 you're doing great guys ❤
Thanks for the reminder Alesia ❤️❤️
Hey folks, we just recently painted our complete restoration project. We picked up a Wagner 590 paint sprayer of Amazon. Complete game changer, will never use a roller again and so much less mess. Check it out for future projects. Looks fab tho
Amazing! Thanks for the tip friend 🙏🏼
You guys remind me of the children’s book
“The Little Engine That Could”
Telling yourselves “I think I can I think I can!”
Optimism and believing in one’s self! You are outstanding role models for your children❤
Loved this comment Cindy! Thank you for sharing it with us 😁🙏🏼
John when drilling on tiles, take the hammer function on your drill, and dip the drill bit in water and go slowly
Wouldn’t grouting the tile before putting on the shower doors worked better? Hopefully the silicone will prevent leaks where there in no grout behind the the strips to attach doors too. It’s hard to work under such deadlines, but it’s looking good.
I was not brave enough to put wood in my shower due to moisture. I guess a good sealer would protect it. It looks nice
Great to hear from you friend. Stay tuned to find out how it all turned out 🙏🏼
Hi Jo, yes the grout and final sealants will go in after the wood is in place, that way it’s all water tight at the same time. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Great progress! You're following a noble path with your first blinding coat of paint, John - my dad was a QS (Quantity Surveyor) and the traditional description for building contracts was "one sharp coat following the trowel". This was indicating a thinned-down first coat applied before the plaster was completely dry! This bonded the paint into the depths just like the ancient techniques of frescoes. 😁
PS: yes, drilling into ceramic - essential to apply a bit of gaffer tape to give a less slippery surface, use a diamond-tipped drill bit, and avoid any hammer-drill.
Thanks for the tip and advice Anthony! 🙏🏼
Actually, you need to keep a bead of water on tile when you drill them to cool them and help prevent their cracking. Putting tape over the area your drilling also helps. The things we all learn the hard way when diying.
Thanks for the advice Nanci 👍🏼
Phew, we're exhausted just watching you, John! 😧 Well done so far!
Yes, John, your garden of flowers is gorgeous and happily growing! Don’t forget to smell your flowers along the way! Well done on all your efforts! God bless you all!
We never forget to smell them Kathryn, easiest way to put a smile on someone’s face is to smell a beautiful flower 😊👍🏼❤️
Wow John - you just never stop. Everything looks flippen smart - well done !
Thank you so much Hannelie 👍🏼👍🏼
John, you're so patient! How lovely.
The bathroom looks spectacular. Just a toilet installation and a few tweaks left in that room. The whole place is shaping up nicely. Well done, John. I think it’s cute that Carusos embraced your pencils and the need for them. Cheers!
John is definitely a man with many hats but most important, a great dad to those darling little boys. Much love for your family from Appalachia Kentucky, USA.
He is the absolute best Terry ❤️🙏🏼
@@TheNewbys Them little boys will remember those little memories when their grown men. Example:John letting um play in the toilet 📦. I just love it.
Every room just looks bigger an bigger as you work on it....John you have a magic touch❤
The shower is perfect! I would leave open the top above the glass door! Humidity would ruin your shower if you close everything
You have had a busy year. A trip to India, Iceland and France. Your addition, porch, stair plastering, demolition of old house, planting olive trees and boys treehouse. How long have you known the family was coming? I'm with Linda, instead of killing yourself to finish, rent a camper van or Air BnB for the family. Everything is looking lovely though.
It’s been a busy time for sure friend, we love having family here even through all the chaos 🙏🏼
Holy moly, John is on a marathon of getting things done. Your head must be spinning.
👍👍💪❤️
The wood on top on shower would be great. Silicone around would so water doesn't get in. Waterproof the wood. Looking really sharp.
The garden is looking spectacular. A tremendous amount of work done today John. Well done. It looks great. Enjoy that beer. You earned it
Wow. Well done. I really think the little oak trims enhance the look of your gorgeous bathroom.
Hey newbies I was just watching John paint the extra Rome.
End, I was wondering you would have been nice if you guys had use a different colour. Besides white with children. The walls are gonna get so dirty first like maybe a broken D colour.
A blue colour, but I'm talking about really nice red burgundy blue even yellow.
Is the new thing now? Does colours anyways? Everything is looking great. You've done so much work. I don't know how at the United. You find time for each other, but make sure that you do.
Anyways
Stay safe in happy I love you guys your friend anna❤
I love how everything is turning out!!! Congratulations!😊The flowers are beautiful!!!❤ That will at least put a smile on Tara’s parents faces ❤
John, as always, the Super hero! What an incredible day.
He is indeed the superhero Julie! ❤️❤️
Hi Newbys John don't burn yourself out. After your visitors leave you deserve a holiday yourself.
well you guys keep me going too… keep painting John❤️❤️
You drive me crazy the two of you with the last moment stuff!! 😅😅😅 it is called: how to stress on your fullest?! Was Tara buying groceries??😅
John, you are a miracle worker. You did so much in one day. Love all the wood details in the bathroom, just make sure it's treated. The wood on the top will finish it nicely. Sometimes doing things at the last minute comes out better than planned. Great job as always. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼ve
Thanks Monique. It’s been a tough time but let’s see if we can get it all done ❤️🙏🏼
Hi guys. John, if you don't have a diamond bit, use a masonry bit but without the hammer action on the drill. It works for me.
Thanks Nick 🙏🏼
OMG! I feel so stressed !!!😅
I'm sure Tara's parents will be happy with whatever accommodation they have, but well done as usual, John.
I love the bathroom btw.
Let's see if we can get it done Valerie! Stay tuned ❤️❤️
So much progress in such a short period of time! Good work John! Give yourself a pat on the back too. I hope Tara’s parents have a great time on the Farm! Have a lovely week and as always thanks for the episode. 😊
Thanks Dave. Appreciate the support friend 👍🏼
I truly enjoy your channel! I think you're do a fine job. HOWEVER... I find the "negative" comments irritating. Followers please choose your words carefully! If you cannot say something nice about an episode don't say anything at all!
Love you Newbies!!!!❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️
I recommend a look at another website where Rosie is renovating her Swedish house, by herself, no car. Rambling with Rosie’s approach to her workspaces makes my entire body chortle,(laugh), when I then look back at John’s! Rosie is super-organized and consistently checks back on her daily plans etc…it just shows how different people can approach almost anything..and be happy with the result. 26:52
Thanks friend 🙏🏼
Cracked tiles. 1st the drill should not be on hammer and 2nd should have used. A diamond tile hole cutters. Feel for you on that one but you know for the next time.
We as a family all enjoy your channel. ❤
Thanks Tony, appreciate your suggestions 🙏🏼
👍
Well done, John! Your mother in law will be very pleased with you🥰
I hope so!
Hi guys.good job john but I don't think you're going to make it in time. When you paint the smell will be there.not so good for Tara parents.instead of being stressed just put Tara parents in B B at night. For sleeping and the rest of the with you guys❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Catrina! Let’s see how far we get 🙏🏼😊❤️
John I love the wood trim details in the bathroom … it’s pulls it all together … Crusoe with his 2 pencils … ❤❤
Thanks Jeannette! Crusoe loves looking just like John 😂🙏🏼
Loving the oak in the bathroom, it goes so well with that nightstand/vanity and the tiles. I hope you got it all done.
Have fun with Tara's parents and enjoy yourselves a bit. Much love and see you Sunday.
Thanks Anja, we always love it when family come and visit. Even if it is a bit chaos here 🙏🏼
John you’re a champion. Love the renovation specially the bathroom
Thanks so much friend, we are so excited to see how it all turns out 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Newby's ur flowers look absolutely amazing! I get a kick out of John, talking to us but really he's talking to himself! 😂😂I love putting a fresh coat of paint, it makes everything so fresh and clean! I love cleaning a big mess from home remodeling it's so rewarding! John's going to need a good old Newby Explorer once the stone house is done! 🥀🌷🌷🌺🥀💮🌸
Thanks Linda. He has worked super hard on the gardens. An adventure to celebrate our victories sounds like a plan 😁🙏🏼
Yes! The flowers, the children, the puppy, the house(s) but most of all the love! The Newbys are a grand family. Wonderful to see such kindness to all. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing so much of your beautiful life with us! And I love to hear the narration as well as the videos.❤
Ahh, yes I remember Bread with the Liverpudlian family of Boswells and Li-lo Lil, and Grandad always wanting to know where his "puddiiiinngg" was 🤣Thanks for the earworm of the theme tune which I now can't stop singing! 🎶... "Gotta get up, gotta get out. Grab the World by the throat and shout. Gotta find it, get us a share. Making bread out of nothin' but air..." 🎶
Given the monumental job that you had to do I think you should be really proud of yourself for what you had got done even if it wasn't as much as you had hoped for, and please, don't beat yourself up over the cracked tile - Nobody will notice unless you point it out to them and you could even go over the grouting with the same colour as the pattern and it will look part of it anyway, especially if you then varnish over the top of that 😉 (I've definitely not "fixed" anything in a similar way *ahem * 🙃)
*Hugs * to you all! xx
When drilling any tiles always use cello tape it works my father taught me this still alive aged 85 😊
Thanks for the tip Angela
So Tara's cousin and husband that were sleeping in the tiny house don't count as two people?? John said that two people can't sleep in the tiny house, it's too small. Also, it doesn't look like all of the shower tiles are grouted, so can the shower even be used?
Hi Debora. You are quite right, Nicole and Nardus did sleep in the tiny house on a smaller bed which is not as comfortable for a couple to sleep on. We want to make sure that Tara’s parents are comfortable when they are sleeping and that means getting the stone house room done for them.
Hi Debora, The Shower can’t be used until the tiles are grouted, that’s correct. If the tiles aren’t grouted then water would go into the wrong places, that we all agree would not be good. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
I can’t believe you put oak wood in an area that will be wet! That will be a nasty mess in no time. It’s pretty today before it’s used.
Hi Betty. Have you ever taken a sauna, or stood on a wooden board in the shower? We think the wood will be just fine. 👍👍
If you want to use wood inside the shower it really should be Teak.
Remember that Oak will go black if not sealed fully all round.
Thanks for the reminder Martin 🙏🏼
I was so confused…wood in the shower?
I'm exhausted for John, what a day! So much achieved. Well done, you are truly amazing. Enjoy the 'africans'❤
Thank you so much!
Crikey John you are an absolute legend! Now spend time with your family and relax a little.
Thanks Karen!
John the work horse…💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 you may have more than one beer 🍺! Cheers to you ❤️🕊❤️
Thanks Ziska. I agree, more than one beer is exactly what I need haha
It’s no wonder John is so tired all the time.
I'm a granny. My son and his 2 boys, 6 and 9, are living with me.
In the beginning I was bothered with the toys, the shoes, the clothes ext laying everywhere.
I'm better now. Love to have them with me.
I say this because I saw the bicycle, the shoe ext at your place too!❤
Always tripping over things Linda! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Sheeze! All that i can say is, "ditto" to what everyone else has been commeting on your hard work and beautiful bathroom! And YAY, the toilet came. Now, "everyone is happy!" The boys have a box to play with, Obi has cardboard to chew on and the guests have a toilet, thanks to some very generous folks! ❤❤❤
❤️❤️
You guys love a challenge! 😂 I’m only 2 minutes in, but the pressure is on! ❤
Who doesn't love a bit of pressure Carol! ❤️❤️
@@TheNewbyscan’t wait to see how the day rolled!!!
Hi Gang!!
The pressure is on, and you two are gearing up to level four.The extension room looks very nice, and it looks larger once the wall got painted.Hope the plumber comes tomorra and install da toilet. Is it one of those electric toilets, incinerated the waste?? Mebbe one doesn´t need a plumber.....I hope you all had a good time with dear Johns mum, and she is sort of closer than Tara´s parents, who supposedly stays a wee bit longer. A looong hop from Zimbabwe.....I am certain that they will love yer houses, kids and y 2.....regardless if everything is ready...Also nice to get a glance of all yer flowers, this gotta be yummy for the bees, living so near. So when will the bee dude come again?? Always funny, interesting,and well edited to see what you are up to, and the bojs are growing in an alarming pace, haha...( joking,aff carse..)
Anyway, now +25 and sun here,installed my 3 kg fire extinguisher in me boat,and it suddenly spewed out some white powder for a second or so, since the security pin was gone,haha....
Allda bestest from mikke...;-D
The pressure is definitely on Mikke. The Trelino toilet is a composting toilet, loving it so far! The bee man comes again soon, stay tuned to see how all of that turns out 😁🙏🏼
The One Thing that is a sure Thing is that nothing is perfect! 😍 At least hte crack is in an inconspicuous place 💙👍🏼 Ahhh, leaving us in a cliff-hanger!!!😩😂🙌 Can't wait to see Tara's parents and I know that they will be very appreciative of all the hard work that John has put into having a comfortable space for them to be while visiting. So loved that the boys seemed tickled pink with the toilet box👏🌈💚😂 🤞🤞🤞crossed for a jolly good outcome!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stay tuned to find out how it all turns out Mary 😊🙏🏼
I think he's prioritising the hardest job. Grouting will be quicker.
Sir the wood will rot and discolor and god knows whatelse why not tile trim i believe its 3x6"
Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Parabéns…you’re almost there…the bathroom is going to look so good, those wooden finishing touches look perfect with the carved cupboard! And finally…the toilet arrives!!! Looking forward to seeing if you meet your deadline 🕰️
We are so close Hilary! Definitely the final countdown 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The show was called Brushstrokes John. Starring Karl Howman, character Jacko 😊
There's nothing like a large cardboard box! My parents had gotten a new refrigerator and i took the box to the elementary school i worked at. We held contests to decorate the outside. I stuck some glow in the dark stars for the inside and the kids were able to hang out inside. Over ten years later, after we had to get rid of it and gave the winners their panel, a patent said they were cleaning out the attic and found their panel!
Nothing beats a box friend you are quite right! 🙏🏼💪🏼
When I heard the drill sound in the bathroom, I was thinking "Does John keep the hammering function ON in that drill? ... oh, no ... he's going to break the tile!" ... later in 19:40 😢 I'm looking forward to the final result. Good job! 👏
The bathroom really is looking unique & nice. Tip for your filming that will save you time and those of us watching. Less talking about what you’re going to do and just show what you’re doing. Too many RUclipsrs just talk too much.
But some of us tune in for the people, not the projects so much 🤔😁😉
The programme bread was filmed in Liverpool
Hi Newby’s, what an episode. You did so well! I can’t wait till Sunday. I learned from my dad to first put masking tape on the place you want to drill a hole. You were lucky that it only was a small crack. Sending you love from the Netherlands 😘
YES..we where first,,we have been waiting for months to be the first viewer of your video!!!
Ahh so glad to have you here as the first one friend! Thank you for all your support ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
@TheNewbys always.. We count down the hours for your next video.. much love Martin and Wanda
Thanks Martin and Wanda! ❤️❤️
Brilliant job, John! Everything looks great! Can't wait to see the final reveal on Sunday and Tara's parents' reaction to your beautiful craftsmanship. I am sure they will love it! 🥰
Thanks so much Trish! 💪🏼
I just love your flower bed near the stairs!!!!!
🌹💐🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🥀
The walled in flower bed next to the addition you are working on reminds me of a bit of Africa and those flowers are amazing. Crusoe is going to be a builder and he will have a pencil to spare, I love his 2 pencil idea, he is just so lovely and watches dad like a hawk, this is why he wears his pencils by his ears, you got to love him. Well done Crusoe. Sawyer saying 'toilet', he is starting talk quiet a bit now. Have a lovely day Newbies and John your mom is lovely, she looks so down to earth type of person. Have a safe trip back John's mom.
He loves looking like his dad and it’s the sweetest thing Lieuwina. Sawyer is talking so much now and getting cuter by the day! Thanks so much for watching friend, see you again soon ❤️❤️
John, I was thinking. Maybe you can put a ceiling fan. So when I get steamy with the shower? It won't get so much mild do in moist. On the walls just a thought I have One and I love it
I just started watching,,, but without all the drama,,, couldn't you put them up in a nice air b and b near by for a day or two while you finish up? Surely they wouldn't want you all stressed out about it.
Always put a tape around the area you want to drill to reduce the vibration that can break your tiles !!! Secondly, you did not put your tiles grout yet and you are installing some shower hardware !!! This is wrong man !!!
Well done John. What a magnificent effort. As there s no exhaust in the shower, it could be prone to mould and damp if you cover in over the doorway. Sending you all a lot of love from Australia.❤
Thanks for the advice friend 👍🏼👍🏼
John this is a big project sunshine 😮but you will do it ok 😆🤔🌻🌻
Wow John you looked absolutely knackered 😂 go get that beer ! You deserve it 😊
Thanks friend! 💪🏼🍻
We bought an old farmhouse, moved it, built a basement under it and set it down. I tore out the
Lath and plaster. We insulated it, sheet rocked it, spackled it and stopped. We lived that way for some time before we sanded, painted it and finished it.
Amazing Shirley, well done for getting all of that done 🙏🏼😊❤️
That’s awesome, I’m looking for an old barn to buy to renovate. I love old Barnes, and I would love to live in one. I would like a basement in my barn too. I know it sounds crazy, but I garden so I can store my garden vegetables and everything in the basement. Who knows if that dream will ever come true, but I’m a keep dreaming it.
Like someone else said, I love how when the boys come ,especially Crusoe, and ask a question, you always give them Your attention. That’s a cool dad. The bathroom looks good John. They should understand, if they’ve been watching, all the effort you and Tara have been putting into getting the stone house ready for them. Don’t stress. Yea get a beer and relax. You’re good to no one injured or in the hospital. Your health is more important than important than any of it. Praying that it’s lovable when they arrive. God bless. ❤
