Doug & Ashley, I've just watched this home's entire series and I have to say I have NEVER seen two people work so hard to completely overhaul a home. The fact you completed the job top to bottom, inside and out, in under two years is absolutely astounding. Not to mention having a toddler and homeschooling to boot. You folks exemplify cooperation, communication, and commitment. I'm proud to be a diyfferent member! 😀👍🏼

[@diyfferent]

Thank you so much.

[@gelwood99]

Well said! Bravo!

[@sherrysearcy1409]

I love you folks! I will never look at a home the way I used to and think it is beyond repair.

[@louroberts5567]

Amen!

[@aliciab77]

Beautiful comment... I completely agree

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

"It was feeling a little bit dated and worn out..."

[@anetzband1383]

Exactly what I said when he said that! Amazing.

[@diyfferent]

haha! Thanks! :)

[@maryofventura4767]

An amazing transformation! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I love the white with the Navy doors - a very nice choice.

[@user-justbeingme]

Looking forward to your reroofing.

[@user-justbeingme]

@@nannypat6520, I'm talking about Green Acre Homestead as they are going to redo their roof.

[@donnadunlop]

THIS IS THE HOUSE THAT DOUG AND ASHLEY BUILT, isn't it beautiful. Bravo to you both.

[@earnestp.worrell5389]

"We're not trying to be high end designers"....and yet the entire house looks amazing.

[@diyfferent]

haha, thanks :)

[@donnavickery9623]

It's your house don't listen to the Nay-Sayers. Your home looks great. You and Ashley did a fabulous job.

[@thomaswright6250]

Hello my friend something my dad used to tell me when I was a young boy you buy shoes to fit your feet into please your feet not to please somebody else's feet If It Makes You Happy do it guys at your house it looks beautiful don't let somebody else's opinion weighed you into changing your mind God bless my friends and continue the awesome work

[@yesorno1768]

“Our way is not the right way, it’s just our way” LOVE THAT!

[@suedorfman7138]

Doug and Ashley, what a difference. That shabby looking “trailer” is now a beautiful home for your family. I am so impressed by the two of you. The outside does justice to the beautiful inside. I really liked the “jump” off of the ladder celebrating the last piece of siding. Hope you and Ashley now take a little down time and do something relaxing.

[@royhowdyshell241]

As I said before you two did great and I am so proud of you both... Always remember you only have to please you all not the world. God bless

[@annissamitchell1291]

Yall have done a fabulous job. It's your house and you don't have to make any excuses for your choices!! It looks great!!

[@OldTimerGarden]

I think your house looks beautiful. I disagree though when you say you renovated it, actually you built a house because the only thing left remaining of the original structure is the framing and foundation. You built a house and certainly deserve that credit. I'd like to see an episode where you have a family celebration of the completed job.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Puts a lump in my throat. Partly to see your finished home... so beautiful; and partly to see how you guys cooperate to get things done. Much respect.

[@Deanna_32]

The before and after pictures are simply astounding. I'm sure it would have cost double and probably more if you paid someone to do all of that. Best thing is, you guys have the knowledge to fix something if it goes wrong. No waiting on someone to come and charge you an arm and a leg, lol. The worst part is over. Winter is coming and you guys can relax in your beautiful little cozy house.

[@diyfferent]

It probably wouldn't be worth it to have to pay someone. It would cost a small fortune.

[@vickilee2185]

You underestimate the value and quality of materials. Ashley and Doug are right regarding the worth. The labor alone will be hard to recoup on a resale. Plan on staying a while.

[@gladyssanchez5928]

This has been the best home remodeling I have ever seen done by two people and two little helpers. Your home looks AMAZING. Can't wait to see the porch and what you guys come up with.

[@diyfferent]

Thank you!

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

Wow....... I'd forgotten just how bad it was before you started! 10,000% improvement!!

[@gretchenthom4976]

Amazing job. You took a mobile structure and turned it into a forever home you can pass on to your children. You should be super proud.❤

[@islandgardener158]

You wouldn’t know it was the same house, so well done. Congrats to you both for an excellent job.

[@jaymeharl3270]

It's incredible! A whole new house! I had forgotten how bad the old siding was...it didn't seem nearly that bad until I saw the video! How refreshinng!

[@onemorchatykathy]

The house is not only beautiful but watching your work let’s us know it was done right!

[@flam8882]

I've been watching since the schoolhouse. You inspired me that I could do big reno. I just completed vaulting my ceiling and putting in Rockwool (because of you) now to tackle drywall. Thanks for the inspiration. from a 57 year old grandma in Wisconsin.

[@diyfferent]

That's awesome!

[@marymisdom3955]

It's hard to believe the transformation. The colors are wonderful. How nice to be able to enjoy this winter all cozy and warm and no work clutter, noises of construction. Thank you for sharing.

[@diyfferent]

Thank you :)

[@allisonhemmings9290]

I can’t believe it’s the same house, it looks so good. I’m sure you will make an excellent job of the porches, well done 👍🏼

[@corneillececil823]

I just LOVED this vlog today...getting to see this review really took my husband and I back over your struggles and victories of this past yesr. You all must be so proud of all you have accomplished. It was so sweet when you gave Ashley her well deserved praise. My goodness you have worked so hard in restoring your entire house, and here you find yourselves at the brink of Winter all wrapped up, ready for the cold. Well done!!

[@JB43186]

Your family has worked so hard. The house looks wonderful inside and out. I can just imagine your family cozying up in you living room this winter and looking out of those beautiful new windows onto a lovely snowy landscape AND any neighbor passing by admiring the exterior of your home sweet home.

[@maryczarnopis6305]

Absolutely Beautiful. 🏡❤

[@1806StoneHouse]

Seeing everything at once is awesome! You basically built a new house on the same foundation 😂 it’s been amazing watching and learning from you guys... on to the barn! 😂🤣

[@diyfferent]

We got a little carried away with this renovation, but you guys can relate to that ;)

[@kayking3488]

The White siding, with Navy doors is super sharp.

[@suecalvert1679]

Doug and Ashley. What team work. You both need a vacation big time. Love all your own designs. You work slowly but with a purpose. Your lovely family has a lovely home to share for a long time. Such memories you all will share in to the future. Take care.

[@marge1538]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! The amount of work both mentally and physically you two have put into rebuilding your home is astounding. The physical speaks for itself but also the mental strain of planning and measuring, trying to avoid as many pitfalls along the way, and then encountering a few, all while sharing your journey with us! And your two apprentices have been such a joy to watch!

[@arshia1961]

You guys have all the right to be proud of outcome & yourselves BRAVO

[@jamanne2504]

Very Beautiful Your efforts are your reward The music was Soo inspirational Satisfaction is Priceless May Our LORD continue to Bless your Family

[@sonjagorda112]

With a commitment to each other, your children, and incredible talent, you two surpass people twice your age and experience. You have truly created (with your own "four' hands) a beautiful home for your family. You should be so proud of yourselves. And don't waste your time on negative comments. Don't even mention them..You two will have a wonderful future and I believe you can have all you wish for. I can't wait to see what you do with your acreage and ability...I know it will be fantastic.I hope Ashley gets her donkey/mule. Big hugs to the kids..Would be great if you made a playhouse, you could use the leftovers...

[@Brightsupernova]

The elegance of Viennese’s waltz is just perfect!

[@burnie773]

You guys absolutely nailed it . Great look back , well narrated and sequenced , the perfect 15 min segment , but no surprises there , as the content on your channel has always been of a high standard . With 100 k in subs looming , keep them coming , great work and you deserve all the praise bestowed upon you in the comments . Cheers . Ps I thought that back ground music was pretty cool .

[@diyfferent]

Thanks. We're glad you enjoyed it and liked the change of music :)

[@jeanetteredden24]

❤ perfect music choice! An awesome job you two - well done on your home! You must smile every day at the beauty of it. 😁

[@maryannanderson1744]

I agree

[@niniandsunny1353]

I agree too. I Always like their music choice.

[@beverlyvo728]

Your home is beautiful!!! You should be proud of yourselves. I know I am proud of you both. No one can ever accuse you of being lazy. You have accomplished so much in a short period of time. By the way...I love your blue doors❤️. God bless your family!

[@rpierson4770]

Love you guys. Single woman watching you and doing it myself on my mobile home. Good teacher, simple, everyday people , like me, thank you.

[@sebby_cnc]

its time consuming but hey its a nice result and looks millions better than before ,GOOD WORK !! greetings from the netherlands

[@melindalewingellis1923]

Awwwwh. IT’S .JUST. PERFECT.❤️ My sweet you tube family. I’m so proud of you. It’s so tasteful and was built so thoughtfully. You just totally increased the value of your home good grief. It’s a new house now.

[@pattycarosi9618]

Doug & Ashley All I can say is BEAUTIFUL!!! You have a beautiful home that you worked hard on it's got to make you both so proud. I love it all. Look forward to what you do next. ❤

[@angelacross2216]

From the ability to envision how you wanted it to look to the quality of the workmanship it’s been an incredible journey. Thank you for inviting us along with you on the journey too. Competence and a strong work ethic shines out of every vlog.

[@wintersky_]

While few of us will fully understand just how hard you have worked, many will admire your absolute commitment to finish one task after another. Your "new to you" home is simply lovely - clean and efficient. Ashly, you are a little trooper! Well done both of you.

[@daafy6390]

Aside from your skills and brains, the thing that I admire most is how well the two of you work together. Your house looks amazing!

[@BethCali]

I just watched this and have to add my congratulations. What you’ve done is remarkable. Pat yourselves on the back!

[@connierifenburg9758]

What wonderful music Beautiful Strauss was the perfect music to joyfully renew your home. I wanted to waltz right along with you working. Thanks for the joy this gave me ❤️🌺

[@paulaharvey1111]

I enjoy your show as much or MORE even than the hgtv shows. Your guess are soooo personable and always demonstrate excellence no matter what you both do!!!!!!! I love it all!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cherylhammond423]

Your home transformation is truly incredible! Inside & out, it’s better than a new home now!

[@tinamariegregory3130]

Oh My ! I couldn't have made any suggestions that would have turned out better ! I am absolutely thrilled for you and proud of you ! God bless you all.

[@deeanderson7358]

If they gave out Awards for doing a Reno on a mobile home you both would get it. Amazing work and so much work. It looks beautiful. I have enjoyed watching all the work done. God bless

[@diyfferent]

Thanks :)

the music in the vido was perfect and house looks awesome .love from denmark

♥️ the Strauss Waltz. “My lady may I have this dance?” 🎶

[@vancemccarthy2554]

For those who have just started watching you guys, this is the renovation in nutshell.

[@sarahjbenton5459]

Doug and Ashley, Your home is no longer a mobile home. It looks like a beautiful home inside and out! Your choices are excellent! I absolutely love everything you have done! Awesome job!!!

[@diyfferent]

Thanks!

[@crinkle2649]

You are an amazing couple. The way you can do all of that work without having a fight every other day is unbelievable. We love you so much.

[@glenokla4079]

Now you all have a beautiful new home that's healthy for you all to live in. I love it!

[@sharonp3563]

From a non professional standpoint.. this has been amazing to see the transformation happen and I think its shown a lot of non professional people what they can do. Its been a pleasure to watch and see the commitment made to get this done bwtween 2 winters. Well done. Its a thing of beauty.

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Doug and Ashley I have followed you since the Reno next to the school. This has by far been the best ever, I have totally enjoyed every video from beginning to the finished project and it has been amazing. The interior and exterior had been thought out exactly what you had planned. Thank you for sharing your journey.❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@barbfrank917]

Your home looks beautiful, great team work with the whole family 😍

[@bushpushersdaughter]

I'm here at home giving you guys a standing ovation! Spectacularly Beautiful!

[@mariezafonte6473]

The two of you should feel very proud of the beautiful home you've made for your family. Your work is thoughtful, precise and meticulous. What a wonderful example you are for the kids. Can't wait to see the next project.

[@glorialeach7301]

I love you guys!!!! The JUMP off the ladder was perfect and I'm so happy for you all. AND the music you played is some of my favorites 👍😍

[@sharonnowlin2297]

BEAUTIFUL Home Inside and Out! And the Best part is you did it YOUR way and made a SPECIAL home for your family. Loved Your choice in the Music!! The ONLY thing is you made me tired watching this video and that was ONLY the Outside!!! You Two work amazingly together, and Bell and Maverick do their part, too!! LOVE the Jump from the Ladder!!! GREAT JOB GUYS!!!

[@melissaussery1391]

Just WOW! What a journey! Thanks for letting us tag along! Everything is just perfect for your precious family! Prayers continue for you all from this Arkansas grandma.😊👍

[@jlatpres]

I really don't know why anyone would disagree with your choices....but to each his own. Everything looks superb! I can't say enough about how much I enjoy your program. Thank you both for your sacrifice and content!❤

[@jeanniebrandon4037]

Love the finished house. Good to go into the winter season with a warm cozy house. I hope you plan to make the landings for the steps to the doors a good large size. I have too often had to deal with a small landing that is only large enough for the door to open. When carrying in children, groceries & packages having a good space helps. AND when Santa comes to the children he will need a nice wide space to carry in all the packages for Miss Belle and Master Maverick. I hope he doesn't forget Ashley & Doug !!!

[@darbla1961]

Love the choices you made, not that it matters what I like! Like you said, you made the choices for you, what you like. You are the ones living there! 😁 But I think you made wonderful choices. 😁👍🇨🇦

Come on everyone, lets get them the 100K viewers they deserve.

[@amerwiccanandproud]

I honestly didn't know that you could do so much with an older model manufactured home, this looks fantastic you guys must be so proud!

[@NosyHausfrau]

WOW! I have been following along this whole time and what a sense of accomplishment this must be. I feel it as just an observer! You are special people with a special home. Congratulations!

[@debbypetty8685]

It looks spectacular!! The hard work you all have put into it just shows the love you have for the home. The life has been brought back and now it’s a vibrant and full of warmth, love and life. I have absolutely loved watching your progress through the months. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@aociurar3842]

Congratulations for the amazing renovation! I’ve been following since day 1 and it’s mind blowing the result. I admire the planning and execution, step by step without any derail. Once again congratulations! Ps: I would like to see the interior also along presenting the exterior.

[@Sandrellas1]

I rarely comment, but I really think that you two really do an excellent job on your renovations from top to bottom. Keep up the good work.

[@blissful1689]

Well done family! Enjoy the fruits of your labor! It looks lovely! Blessings to your crew and blessings upon your homestead 💜 👋🏻😊 NC 🇺🇸 “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His face on you and give you peace.” ( Numbers 6:24-26)

[@HyacinthDaisyRose]

Wow is a word that comes to mind... Along the way watching the process I kind of forgot a little about what it looked like in the very beginning. You guys are amazing. Sharp is a word that came to me too, seeing how seamless the siding looks. :D Love the shot after dark seeing the light out front. I was wondering if it would be bright enough at the door but yeah, no question. I like the fact that it's not in your face right by the door. You guys are going to have a nice cozy winter, I just know it. :) Great work as always.

[@lindajc123]

Congratulations on completing your beautiful home!! You are right when you say you are doing renovation to suit you and your desires. If we tried to live our lives to please everybody, we would never accomplish anything and end up dissatisfied with the end result. Your end result is fabulous.

[@maggiesue4825]

I'm so glad you shared your journey with us, leaving the property you had such high hopes for and working so hard to improve it, only to sell out and move to Michigan. But you both have the pioneering spirit, and the courage (and stamina!) to pursue your dream. You've done a fantastic job with this double-wide, turning it into a comfortable and attractive home, both inside and out. God bless you and your family, and keep on allowing us to get a little peek into your hard-working, family-oriented lives!

[@RoseBee]

Wow guys, you practically rebuilt the place! It's so strange for me to watch this because it's very different to how houses are built here in the Netherlands but it looks amazing. I have it'll serve you well and be a true home for years to come

[@nae1470]

Ashley you were correct when you said how the mobile home doesn't look like a mobile home. It looks like a ranch style home. Great job 👍. Can't wait to see what else you have in store.

[@leethebee1560]

incredible exterior make over. watched the whole process over the year. i really enjoyed it...

[@diyfferent]

Thanks!

[@leethebee1560]

@@diyfferent next year grow organic foods... maybe a home start up thinking of is Bee keeping honey but that is tough with kids.. start an apple orchard... maybe make homemade hard cider a mini brew

[@3msannie]

It looks amazing! Love the blue doors with the white. You saved a ton of money and you know that all the jobs are done to your standards. I look forward to every video and can't wait to see what comes next. You are one of my favorite KZbin families. You just keep doing you. You're doing great!

Thank you so much for commenting and the kind words :)

[@shaunehemphill3259]

I’m gonna say this again.... y’all turned that house into a home. So proud and inspired by you both!! Love and Respect from South carolina❤️❤️❤️

[@Aiko2-26-9]

That final shot of the original house was shocking. What a change. And you did it all together! Even Belle and Maverick (remember when he drew those cute circles on the floor to copy what you were doing?) Ashley, we see you holding things, fetching things and cleaning up but I know that one of the hardest things must have been living in an unfinished house. Months without a kitchen must have been horrid. No room for the baby. Dangerous materials all around. You deserve a big reward.

[@augustreil]

There are a million ways to skin a cat, so to speak. You two picked one of the top 2 ways to do it and it looks beyond superb ! Bravo !! As for the rain over the doors, there are rain diverters that attach to the roof, as I'm sure you both know, we have them on our house's in VT and they work awesome. I know you're proud of what you have accomplished and rightfully so, but I just wanted to say, that all of us are as equally, if not more proud ! You did a MAGNIFICENT job and most professionals would be jealous. If it was possible to give multiple thumbs up, I would be one of those people !!!!!

[@coffeeandpizza2899]

House looks great WOW!!!! Are you guys putting up a smaller deck on the front? Sit on the front porch and drink some coffee while watching the traffic go by.

[@diyfferent]

For both doors it will just be steps with small landings :) Thank you!

[@bforgiveness]

What a great feeling you must have when you look back at what you have accomplished inside and out. The videos are fun for us viewers, but it must be awesome to have a video diary of all your hard work and to remember what you started with. Good golly you are inspiring. You are so humble and kind. I haven't forgotten what you did for Bobblehead Homestead! I hope you two took some time off to enjoy your home and property. Thanks for sharing the journey. Cheers, Valerie in Colorado

[@gordyoconnor7427]

I started to watch because I'm a seasoned diy'er I'm 52 years old and you have inspired me greatly . I first watched the pex video and was hooked.Your family is beautiful and with your work ethic is going to be a great success story! I hope to inspire my two granddaughters the way you inspired me. I pray for your continued success in all you do and may you all be greatly blessed,much love to you and yours 😘

Outstanding job yall. Congratulations hard work pays off. Yall have beautiful home to live in.

[@ozziestrom9793]

Your house looks GREAT. Just a little note: The easiest way too figure out roughly what it would have cost you if you had contracted the complete job out. Simply figure your total material cost and X it 3-4 times more. Most times $$$ area is figured in. Some contractors-companies will add an extra 5-10% on top as a sales commission. I've seen higher formulas used from big time companies with large overhead. You did your homework. I give you both 5 stars ea.

[@AfterTheRains]

You have made an astonishing and beautiful home and you should be really proud of what you created together. Your work ethic and attention to detail cannot be faulted. I wish your family joy, health, wealth and happiness in your home.
