This is the episode that got me hooked on Hometown. I had seen bits of other episodes but I wasn't really into HGTV. I loved how Erin and Ben respected the meager budget but turned this house into a lovely place. And now Hometown is my favorite show on HGTV.
I like Home town as well as Fixer to fabulous and Good bones. The HGTV show I liked least was the one with Chip and Joanna Gaines (forgotten the name and am not going to look it up). There were always budget over-runs for which they had to turn to the clients. Find the savings elsewhere. Nobody needs granite worktops or custom cabinetry. However, there is something essentially wrong with all these home renovation shows and the projects all read as samey.
Mike is adorable lol the way he explains everything in such a cheery manner is so refreshing!! He’s reminds me of everyone’s favorite teacher in school! Kind & always positive!!
Enjoying these realistic makeovers. Cheap houses and small budgets. Creative solutions and great choices. Erin and Ben you guys are very entertaining and fun to watch. As a person who brought a cheap house over 20 years ago, everything was broken. No extra budge to fix things but, over the years one problem at a time. Our little house sits on a double lot in the City a few blocks from the River and over the Bridge to the Beach.
For the budget that reno is just brilliant and the location is gorgeous. I love how Ben always adds something custom that he has made. 11 out of 10 for this one as the house to start with was plain awful and ended up for a very reasonable price beautiful.
Erin and Ben are so gifted that every simple think they touch become marvellous....great little tiny house sitting on the greatness of mother nature with a million dolar view... 👏👏👏👐🌷💙💛
I think it was the water as much as the price that drew in the buyer. I'm not a big fan of open water and preferred the other house, which was bigger and possibly in better shape. Of course, you never know what lies beneath until the tear down starts.
I had a fireplace just like that and it had been inspected for termites. There were mud trails all over the outside of the fireplace. We didn't know what they were when we bought the house, but the termite company should have. Cost us some good money and the Termite Company got off scott free. Don't waste money on a termite inspection.
So creative! You pack so much smart design into every home. It is as if you breathe new life into each room! I always get the impression that you look into the home owners' hearts and design dreams beyond what they can articulate. Love from Tulsa ❤
A lot of buyers have no vision, and those looking at fixer uppers are particularly short-sighted. However, it does seem co-incidental that Erin's style jibes with the clients. My aesthetic is completely different. I don't like folksy or frou, frou.
Erin & Ben~ I love you both and you have outdone yourself on this home❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ what I wouldn’t give to have a little piece of heaven like this. Kudos to the decision you had in repurposing so much of the would within the house as well as going out to the college and getting some and then reusing the beans from the front porch and putting them out back on the landscaping etc. I like the way you gave the owner stairsteps in the front on three sides instead of just right in the front! I can’t tell you how many times when I was landscaping that would’ve come in handy for me. Her view in the back is like no other and I’m an artist and I took several snapshots so that I could paint The scenes around the pond because the colors of the trees were breathtaking but the fog coming up off of that pond I was also stunning. I loved the Porch swing you made and you two work SO WELL TOGETHER ♥️♥️😊🌈 you are absolutely my favorites and I love your homey style that’s your name homestyle. Everything is just so comfortable and you think of all the details. You came in under budget which I’m sure the buyer/owner was very grateful for that. I can’t tell you which room I love the most because each one Remarkable; the kitchen barstool counter where are you did a Faux- painting to look like tile Turned out amazing!! I was a little doubtful but then when I saw the finished product that really was and impressive results❣️❣️ Ben, you always do yourself with all the special woodworking you do and you call me I need that this was your favorite house and I definitely agree with you… I think of all the houses you guys have done, for the money, this one is it and I know I am being swayed by the backyard to be honest. Also very smart of you to check out that bathroom window and make room for a stackable washer and dryer. This will be a wonderful first time house for this buyer. You guys are such a wonderful addition to your communities😊♥️♥️♥️♥️
What and adorably charming tiny home. It is as cute as it can be. It looks fresh without looking brand spanking new. I love every single part of it, including the back yard. I'm sure she'll love it.
Erin and Ben you do such amazing job. I have been trying to get someone to come in and do my kitchen. I just want the cabinets painted, new counter top. I am on a fixed income and a widow. It's just so impossible here in north jersey. I wish you guys lived closer. I am great at baby sitting. Warm hugs...God bless.
Love this house. They did a lot with not a lot of space. The only thing I don’t like is that the dryer door opens the wrong way. I could totally see myself living there.
This is my favorite rebuild ever. I love what Ben and Erin did, amazing and they always add their own touch. Green cabinets though? Green belongs outside.
Really love it , lots of diy tips one can use, the old mirror back splash making ( see other video)stencilling, porch revamp. My only concern a bathroom window covered up...
Screen that back porch. Oh my, there'll be skeeters, gnats, and bugs coming off the pond. Deep South biting insects are numerous and annoying. Good job on renovation.
Before I get to this show I've got to say Ben looks absolutely incredible! The house is fabulous. Y'all show is the only one I watch on a regular basis Love y'all ! FAN FROM HB, MS.🌳🌰🦃🐿📖☕🦅🌳🍁🦆🙏🤗🌲🕯🇺🇸🕊
I love your home. I am WATCHING this one back to back. I saw this awhile a go. It is AMAZING 🤟🀄🀄🀄🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻👍🀄👍. Pine floor. I love the gentleman that helps often with the hard wooden floors. He is very talented. He is fun. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU. YOUR HOME is beautiful and peaceful. I just love it. Everything.
If you don't have a laundry room and are planning a bathroom, the washer/dryer is the place to put it. I live in the UK where dwellings are quite small, and the kitchen is nearly always the place for the washing machine.
@@eattherich9215 YesxI see that quite frequently in European homes (a combo unit) I have a small utility closet I can use but here in America plumbing costs are ridiculous. Walls or floors would have to be ripped out and replaced ☹️
@@conniepleasantnails: I had the opportunity to site the washing machine - don't believe in dryers - in the bathroom of my last home since I was doing a complete renovation. I didn't have the budget or even room to do big changes in my present home, so the washing machine is once again in the kitchen.
They came in on budget, not under budget. And that $62,500 was for materials. All of the labor was covered by production. This house would have been a tear down, otherwise. They basically rebuilt the whole thing.
I must admit this show Erin and Ben they don't bother the home owners about extra money for complicated problems they run into during renovation. It seem as if they try to find a cheaper way to fix the problem. Or maybe that's part of the show to not show complicated issues on the show which is so annoying with the other renovations shows.

Same here, I made $12,400 profits on investing since I started trading with Mr Jack Jefferson his trading strategies are too notch am winning consistently trading with Mr Jack Jefferson . He really the best broker I've made a lot of profit investing with him.
People don't seem to understand that living next to a pond/river means rats infestation. It's annoying but I rather live in the countryside far from any water source rather than a front lake view. Well I don't I have the sea but again even if it's really a beautiful view the humidity level,the salt eating up everything and the mold is also a huge problem unless it's verry dry and sunny most of they year like here in the Mediterranean climate . It's November the 8th and my windows r open with a blue sky and sun 🌞 and its cold by our standard.
I think that Ben always takes the credit for being a Master Builder when in fact he always hires Madter Builders to do the work and then he takes all the credit, I find Ben to be a Big Over Grown baby in a Big mans body.

She is so lucky to have this house and property. Erin & Ben did a magnificent job. This is one of my favorites episodes !

The view of the lake at the back of the house is so dreamy.. it is like a piece of heaven!

The view is magnificent! She got a beautiful little house in the most idillic setting for $75k! How blessed.

What a charming, sweet place. The setting will be the muse, indeed, forever. Thanks for sharing this transformation!
If the land is also hers she has won a watch. Beautiful cottage outdoors and in.
It is 😂

Certainly one of your best works. So charming!
Always love what Erin and Ben can do! ❤️
I can’t believe the kitchen counters were laminate, they could pass as stone!
A good quality laminate is just as viable as granite/marble/quartz etc. I don't believe in unnecessary spending.
❤ so beautiful. that view is amazing ❤❤
These two are just so stinking cute! I love every single episode. 🥰🥰

This eps is that made me love hometown
That's my favorite renovation bc of the budget. Wow!!!
I watched this one so many times. This is the cutest little house. I just love it
Love the slightly eclectic decor. Great one !

My favorite house and episode! Just perfect!
Adorable ❤
Ohhhhhhhh that’s beautiful
What a deal....the property is the glinchin' factor....just fab!
I absolutely love the TV channel Hometown and am so glad to have found it on You Tube as well. Erin and Ben are fantastic
I love the rug in the living room.
Love this house. They did a lot with not a lot of space. The only thing I don’t like is that the dryer door opens the wrong way. I could totally see myself living there.
I didn't like that it was just a curtain that covered the washer/dryer.
Thx for including the bench tip-over scene!
I just love What Erin and Ben Can do 🤩
Erin and Ben… You are fantastic! I love you! 😍
Another great job
Amazing!
This is my favorite rebuild ever. I love what Ben and Erin did, amazing and they always add their own touch. Green cabinets though? Green belongs outside.
When the tin was first opened I loved the colour, but it overpowered the small kitchen.
Anyone know the green paint manufacturer and name?
The lake makes it their dream home. GREAT JOB guys! LOVE from Chicago LOVE IT!
Awesome you guys simply knocked it out of the ball park on this little one👍
Really love it , lots of diy tips one can use, the old mirror back splash making ( see other video)stencilling, porch revamp. My only concern a bathroom window covered up...
Erin and Ben are the best!
Screen that back porch. Oh my, there'll be skeeters, gnats, and bugs coming off the pond. Deep South biting insects are numerous and annoying.
Good job on renovation.
@Phyllis Arrington: agreed. I also hope they tore down that rickety shed because I can imagine all sorts of horrors living in it.
Before I get to this show I've got to say Ben looks absolutely incredible! The house is fabulous. Y'all show is the only one I watch on a regular basis
Love y'all ! FAN FROM HB, MS.🌳🌰🦃🐿📖☕🦅🌳🍁🦆🙏🤗🌲🕯🇺🇸🕊

IDC How Old This Video Is That Tumble Off The Bench Was EPIC Was 1 For The Books 😂
OMG i would love to live in this house
I can't get enough of these videos
They should be able to switch the opening direction on that dryer making it more user friendly
Turned out amazing
A casa ficou aconchegante 🌺🇧🇷🌺✨
At last a project where Ben and Erin had to be creative with the budget. No marble worktops or expensive custom cabinetry.
Love this pair! My favorite part is the squeaking of the owners in the reveal.
So talented!
i noticed that blue color is currently popular now. using it as accent colors. im seeing it in so many newly remodeled homes.
lovely house & backyard
Watching this gave me a great idea where to add my washer/dryer in my home without losing closet space…#winning 💕

Wait, what? You can use appliance paint to cover scratches on your truck?!! What the hell?! How did I not know this?!
Ben's looking good these last few episodes
Anyone know whats the brand or designer of that awesome rug in the living room?
I never seen this one loved it.
Absolutely love ❤️ what you guys do: I just wish you were here in Australia sigh as I have a small home that needs a bit of renovation
That was amazing.
I need to move to Mississippi...
That part 😂
The termites are dinosaurs Even with that zoo they can make ART.
I love this!!!!
Love it great video 👍😊
OMG, I gotta move to your town 12 thousand for the house and you came in under budget of 75 grand WOW!
They came in on budget, not under budget. And that $62,500 was for materials. All of the labor was covered by production. This house would have been a tear down, otherwise. They basically rebuilt the whole thing.
😂 THE Bench!!!!
Well done!!
that's amazing work
Did Ben lose weight?
Love this couple + love their work. ❤
Love what you've shown but here's the bedroom?!
It did not feature at all in the episode.
Outstanding
That is so pretty 😍👍
Is there a bedroom?
That’s amazing to buy a home with that beautiful view for 12,500 are things this cheap in Mississippi?
Hello! What season and episode number is this? I’d love to watch the full episode!
I feel the need for a dust mask just watching this
I could live in that.
Which episode is this?
What if that washer overflows or leaks?
You pull it out and fix the problem.

The bedroom? Did I miss it?!
No. It wasn't shown in the complete episode.
There is room for a bidet. They are attached to the toilet now. I've been living in Asia and I can tell you, it's nice to have a clean booty 😆
No, no, no! Don't just gloss over that backsplash! What is it?! It's gorgeous! Anybody know what the backsplash is made of?
It’s a old mirror that you add acid to on the back. 👍
I don't think I've seen a remodel that they've done that I didn't like.
*When it comes to the world of investing, most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance*
Wow that's so lovely I'm so happy 😊 my life is totally changed. I've been earning $10,250 returns from my $4,000 Investment every 13 days

The open water is why I would have chosen the other place. As well as rats, there will be frogs or even toads. No thanks.
Erin, can you work on my house? I have a much better shaped house, just outdated. And I’m an artist. I promise I’ll be into all your creative ideas.
Big like👍
👍wow
What is that backsplash?
Glass that Mal & Erin antiqued using a solution
Bedroom? 😢
I loved this reno on this house. But the sound quality on this video stinks!
That cabin was so rotted it was comical.
The problem is in my eyes.. animals come again.. and its not solid enough... should be more brickwork...
Cabinets look.to tall for these short women
It must be a remodeling program enjoyed by simple minded people .
