[@debrap947]

What a wonderful family you are. Love the channel so much. No drama, no clickbait nonsense...just honest, humble creative content. Thank you both for sharing your skills.

[@Thatgeekishfamily]

That's exactly how my inlaws got their house! It had been on the market, taken off the market, but they really loved it, so they knocked on the door, made an offer after looking around and got their retirement home.

[@jerrodc8743]

In this day of how toxic social media can be, you guys are a genuine breath of fresh air. How you show your marriage, family and faith is such a blessing for us all. You guys are such a good balance with each other. And do I sing the Lowe’s song every time I go? Yep.

[@ejwraygadison849]

a Lowes trip, a Lowes trip... every single day is a Lowes trip....hahahahaha

[@merryworld4776]

​@@ejwraygadison849😊😂😊 yep!

[@marsbar5366]

Regarding the property, you can look up their information on your central appraisal district and write a letter to them and see if they’re interested in selling. Love your content and good luck!

[@strawberrygal127]

I was just about to say this. My dad has properties that he holds on to but people would look up the tax information and call him to see if he was interested in selling. So that is always an option.

[@lisawolf7980]

As my grandma would say… if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

[@holidayphotomagic]

OMG!!! I cannot believe people would be so forward to ask if you are pregnant! You are very gracious to answer such a imposing question. Andrea - you look amazing and please do not allow people to put their insecurities on you. I LOVE your channel, and I think you are wonderfully wholesome people who enjoy doing what you do. Thank you for sharing!!

[@nooralshammari4695]

I’m always wondering if you workout? Girl your body is so toned!

[@sharon-mw1jt]

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis since I was 16. So its great ro hear someone talk about it ❤ I stay in remission more than out. For those who ask.. when you're in a flare up it's called out of remission.. its not cancer. It's a chronic long term auto immune disease. Thanks Andrea for bringing it to the forefront

[@djburris1961]

Autoimmune disorders run rampant in my family. My father and two of his three siblings had lupus. They are all three now deceased. His remaining sibling had psoriasis. Two of her children have Crohn's disease. Two my dad's cousins had lupus. My brother had lupus and psoriatic arthritis. I have psoriatic arthritis. One of my cousins had psoriatic arthritis. That is just what I can think of off hand. So I completely understand autoimmune issues. It's an overactive immune system. Our immune system is attacking us.

[@RebootExtreme]

Funny, me and my wife got married at 20 & 21, she also is older. We have been together for 38 years now with two wonderful children, Congrats.

[@elizabethvance1296]

Realtor here! I have knocked on doors for clients and I have mailed postcards/left notes for clients…go for it!!!

[@maryinmichigan2626]

Write a letter to the owners of the home you’re interested in. A friend did exactly that and the owners were older and were interested in selling, especially because a young family with kids wanted to make it their home💕. By the way, having people ask me if I was pregnant happened several times when I wasn’t. I had had c-section births and my tummy never went flat again ( and I hated sit ups and exercising)! So they are out there and think it is their place to ask such things! Love your KZbin channel! Can’t believe how positive you are with all with the damage from the water leak.. I would be beside myself and cry for months🥲

[@jcmhanel1]

To Andrea. From one UC person to another… Best of luck with your health. I have lived with a J pouch now for 23 years. No choice on my part. Keep up with colonoscopies!!!! It saved my life. My GI doc found a grade 2 pre cancer, thus the need for a J Pouch… I love watching you and Dean!!!!

[@markoduvall]

I'm from the northern east coast. I was taught to never ask about pregnancy. I always acted surprised when they told me, even if they were like 8-9 months pregnant.

[@mascottie]

I really miss the furniture videos. Yours looked the best of all the KZbin furniture flippers.

[@diywife]

My sister will likely be starting a channel refinishing furniture and she’s already waaaaaay better than I ever was, we’ll definitely share when she does for those who miss tv e furniture flips!

[@lorikegley3327]

@@diywife is it even possible to be better than you? I doubt it, but can't wait to see her videos!

[@lesliebooth2833]

Oh my goodness!! I miss them too! I had no idea I have been watching them since right at the beginning! But as much as I have been loving all they have done, I really DO miss the furniture flipping, hers were always next level and the best I’ve seen on YT!! I look forward to seeing her sister!

[@grandmasewhappyhomestead187]

Look forward to seeing your sisters channel. ISO appreciate your channel. I'll can't wait to see the projects that you do and you inspire me to try to do something here in a small way.

[@naturalgalwilliams]

The television deal was a blessing in disguise. God worked it out and still is!❣️

[@marigold100-1]

I agree!!

[@farrahthomas3120]

Every time i watch your videos I'm always grinning. Ya'll bring me so much joy

Yes! I found myself smiling and laughing the whole time! Love your channel and you have a beautiful family! Thank you guys for the fun videos!!

[@zenaidalugo7707]

Thank you for sharing, we love your content! My husband and I watch your videos together on Saturday mornings it’s like a date night for us, FYI we’re in our 60’s 😊

[@guyolautt3136]

Im glad you guys are real with us, and show real struggles in projects and real life. You guys are so enjoyable, refreshing, entertaining to watch. @ Dean… you dont need TV… your videos are wonderful! Id hate to see someone else try to change or manipulate the special skills you are bringing in the videos. Andrea is Amazing! You know how to show her in her natural habitat. Like her “eye wink” on straight boards”😂. I enjoy your video,music, inputs of explanations. The Humor is contagious! 🤣🤪

[@nicolebrusso5178]

People don’t have a filter anymore. It’s never been okay to ask anyone if they’re pregnant. Andrea you’ve inspired so many including myself to see what creativity lies inside us all. I’ve learned so much from watching you guys, and I think you’re the loveliest family🤍🤍

[@juliehe985]

I did ask someone once when she’s expecting and she wasn’t. I was mortified and never again will I ever do that. First and last time. I never thought though Andrea was pregnant. Thank you for all your talents you share with us. I discovered you all 6 months ago on here. Been a joy watching!!! Glad you all feel better!

[@diywife]

You and many others, no problem! 🤓

[@lauratruthseekingWarrior]

​@@diywifeonly time I ever asked, you wife was glowing and I noticed she gained a little. Didn't know it was from medication, and I was mortified,never will ask anyone again, ever and I'm 62. I am truly sorry. It has nothing to do with not having a filter or being insecure or even rude. It was plain curiosity and joy, because I thought I saw a small bump. I was happy for you all. It was not something I normally say either. I love you both and your amazing channel! It's not fair for others to verbally attack us that asked because we feel bad enough. It was an innocent mistake. 😢 everyone e even the holier than though make plenty of those for sure. I'm relieved your water damage is being fixed and you 6 feel better! I always wanted 4 children. I Suffered from Cancer, endometriosis, Lyme disease and have 1 son, step daughter and so far 2 Grandchildren! I'm cure of cancer and Lyme etc because of Ivermectin! Saved my life and my husband's life! Thank you for your wonderful content!

[@karenhelser2834]

Lots of good marriage tips....thank you for sharing. You two are adorable and so easy to watch. Prayer makes all the difference in marriage. God is faithful and He sure has blessed you and your beautiful family. I appreciate your humor, your talents, your openness and your positiveness. Best wishes as you continue this channel....so neat to see it growing.

[@bonniehodgson8776]

I bought my house that way! The houses I was interested in, I would leave a note in the mailbox. Then one day I received a call asking if I was interested! 😊❤️

[@nikilyncook8897]

Regarding the vacant property… I’m not sure how things work in Texas, but where I live you can go to the tax assessor’s office and get the name and mailing address of the property owner. If you can do that where you are you could write a letter to the owner and see if he or she is interested in selling.

[@kellyjames3742]

Thanks for sharing a photo of your entire family - such a lovely family

[@MsMeri1969]

Loved the Q&A! Love to see your back story and how you met. Andrea, I hope that you can get better without having to take meds. My mom has Crohn's and I know the struggles she goes through, so my prayers go out to you. You guys are so great together and I can't wait to watch each and every video that comes out. Thank you for sharing you lives with us!

[@PamVarnell-gq6kq]

Y'all are the cutest, and most real KZbinrs ever. I caught myself smiling through the whole video. Thank you.

[@andreabostick6923]

Hey y’all!! Good to see ya and you’re looking great! I CANNOT believe how those slimy lawyers took advantage of you guys!!! Well now ya know you can’t trust em. Anyway I miss DABL!! I couldn’t believe it when I saw y’all on the channel. It WAS a great channel. I watched escape to the country everyday and y’all when I could. Now I don’t put it on AT ALL with the the new format. Andrea I want you to know that you inspired me and gave me the courage to do so many things around my house!! And I laugh at your husband occasionally. He does a good job filming. Take care of yourselves and keep up the good work.❤

[@SarahS1214]

Maybe a tutorial on spray painting furniture? I tried spray painting shutters yrs ago, it was globby and I gave up. Didn’t know how thin the paint should be etc. I love watching you paint furniture-it turns out SO nice!!

[@kellycreasy6276]

I love this episode so much, and your honesty and transparency about other areas of your lives are very refreshing. Social media has become “highlight” reels where people’s lives seem perfect all the time. My husband and I have been married for almost 25 years, with 2 adult children in college, and we still don’t have it all figured out. Y’all are so genuine and I loved the part about Andrea interrupting (I do the same to my husband), bless our hearts! 🙃 I found you on YT when I was looking for a DIY custom closet, and I noticed your closet layout was similar to ours. You made it look so easy, so my husband and I jumped in (he’s not as excited about my DIY projects, but he’s supportive). Our closet is 75% completed, and YOU gave me the confidence to do it! I can’t thank you enough. I always helped my dad with projects when I was younger, but having kids put my power tools into long-term storage. Watching your master closet video gave me the confidence to go for it! After this closet is done, I’m planning to do some furniture upgrades using your videos for inspiration. Thank you for rekindling a creative outlet for me.

[@alee9961]

You are both a joy! Whether you are building or talking to us, I'll watch your videos!!! Thank you! Congratulations on your 20 years together!❤️ My husband and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary this year, and it feels like yesterday! Blessings!

[@MinaRoy]

Thanks for being so open about your UC! All too familiar about UC within our family, and it's reassuring to hear more and more people talk about it.

[@margoadias]

I’m so impressed about your relationship. I live with a John. We’ve been friends for 55 years. He was in a train wreck when he was 22. He has brain damage in the frontal lobe, which controls anger management, memory 😂and memory loss. well that’s a lot. It’s like living the movie, “ fifty first dates “every day. He likes to argue every night and can’t remember it the next day. When he asked me to come up to Alaska and take care of him, make sure he’s doing the right things. I did and promised him I wouldn’t Lea e his side, unfortunately I wasn’t aware of the fact that he’s abusive, mentally and emotionally. I’m still here after 11 years. My question, I don’t have one, just wanted to share how fortunate you two are with knowing where you are going and have wonderful memories of where you’ve been. This is my life now, I chose to live this life. It’s as good as it gets. I’m not complaining, I want for nothing. I drive a nice vehicle, I live in a newer home, I’m never hungry and I come and go as I wish. I just have to keep reminding myself where the abuse comes from and why. If you got this far , thank you for listening, love you two so much. Please keep us entertained ! You two are a part of me keeping my sanity . From a beautiful place in Alaska, oh by the way, you ever want to get away from it all, there’s a place here to go to. We have a five bed two bath house on an acre. Only one room is set up for guest but I have lots of space out back, lawn, shed and greenhouse, RV space and room for campers.

[@stephiluttrell3416]

The only way I could love you all more is if there was a video demonstrating how to "train" the curtains with painters' tape and steaming - I think that is what you mentioned in the video. Please!! I have spent so much time trying to get my curtains to look like yours and they look pitiful! Please let me know when you have a curtain training video. You all are awesome! Thanks for all the videos. I cannot get over Andrea's skill --- so impressive! And Dean, you have literally brought tears to my eyes with you humor and silliness! I appreciate you all and really enjoy your channel. Many blessings to you and your family!

[@lindasummer2343]

So glad you guys are feeling better. Andrea is such a role model, we need many more people with her skills. I often wish that tech schools were around when I was younger, I think I would have enjoyed construction and working with power and hand tools. You guys are amazing together and I wish you both continued success. Thanks for showing your high school photos, they were pretty great. See you when you are able to get back to work.

[@LAK1253]

[@MarthasMuWz]

Thank you for all the projects, jokes, family, and Lowe's trips that you have shared with us! And, you are correct, never, never ask if someone is pregnant. I learned that the hard way many years ago.

[@suzannebrookes5950]

Lovely to see pictures of you both in your teen years, growing up and falling in love. I have Crohn's so I know exactly how you feel when you have a flare up, eating a good diet is paramount. I think people asking if you are pregnant has something to do with Dean mentioning on a couple of occasions that you were not feeling well and then cuts to you with a slightly bloated tummy and your hand running across it, easy to put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5 lol, having said that.. it's obvious to me why you would be looking a little swollen in the tummy and not feeling great with having Ulcerative colitis, it's a lot to deal with but I have to say, you always look amazing even if you are not feeling the best.

[@witchjulie]

❤ love you guys I'm utterly inspired by you I'm constantly doing diy projects in my house now which is a major challenge here in ireland but thanks to you guys I get braver the more I watch you xxx

[@fionaschiffl8065]

Love the laughter and how you place a lot of importance on being each other’s best friend, laugh buddy and want to bring out the best in each other. Heck I didn’t even ask my daughter if she was pregnant when she said her chest hurt. I knew what that meant but she didn’t know I knew from that comment. I kept it to myself until she announced it to us, didn’t even tell her father.

[@janetbecker4282]

You can knock on a door and ask the question. Keep in mind when those of us older people face going into a nursing home, we can be forced to turn over our home to the state; to cover the cost of our stay. We can sugn our home over to someone and rent it. However, then we don't receive discounts of reduced taxes.

[@colombepetite]

I just LOVE your channel, your content is useful, informative, fun and entertaining.

[@susanschremser9800]

You might check parcel listing for the house in the county it is located. That could, maybe, give you some idea on current ownership, unpaid taxes etc..to see if they might be receptive to selling.

[@rosanne7804]

@ DIY Wife, I’m not sure why anyone would ask someone if they’re pregnant. I’m also baffled why some people feel so inclined to make rude and unkind comments. My motto, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Being kind costs you NOTHING. IT IS FREE! ❤

[@barbb.7028]

This was a great Q&A. The two of you are like peanut butter and jelly. Both different and yet go together so well. So happy to hear that all of you are feeling better. I'm almost 65 and I can remember back in the day when people would ask if I was pregnant and tell us that "It's about time for another baby" since our kids were 2 years apart. I often wondered if their parents never told them about manners. Life has all kinds of people I guess.

[@connie9523]

Asking a woman if they are pregnant is the MOST inappropriate thing someone can do. Someone asked if I was pregnant when I was holding my two month old baby!!

Tip to buy the abandoned dream house!!!!!!! If your property records are available on line send a letter to the owner's mailing address and tell them you are interested. You'd be amazed how many times they say yes! It is often owned by the kids who aren't local. If your records aren't public send a letter to the property address to the attention of "Property Owner". Good luck!

[@kathybellamy5207]

Great video… thanks for sharing. Dean, I don’t see a link anywhere to get your newsletter, could you post that please?

I have unexplained autoimmune issues, and I feel for you! About a year ago, I came to the conclusion that diet (and supplements), was the best way for me to control pain symptoms. I also tried out a medication, (and started eating more types of foods,) and it just wasn’t worth the side effects (weight gain, and not really managing pain), so I also recently have just gone back to my limited diet! It’s a process, but I totally get what you’re going through!
