[@BeckiandChris]

Gah I can’t believe launch day is here! We’re filming the podcast Aftershow Edition tonight, let us know if you have any questions about this episode and we will try and answer them!

[@thisismyhandletherearemanylike]

Love ALL your vids

[@frosty227]

What tool/accessories are worth it to have and what tools should you pass on as a DIYer (ex: paint tray liners lol)

[@mehdisheriff]

What’s that one diy project that you’ve embarked on that has had the least favorable outcome for you

[@alexshotthese]

How many times did Chris rip one during this whole process?

[@Macketi]

Tools. What are the tools for working with wood that you realized you needed to buy vs renting? Also, the safety gear that goes along with them.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Let's be honest, the thing that sealed the deal was the ability to take a dump together and chat LOL

[@BeckiandChris]

1000%!

[@PaulFeinberg]

My 4 year old Son will not even dump with me lol There is no way my wife would ever! lol No one wants to be in the same room for that!

[@DownieLive]

I'm not a regular viewer of Home Reno videos, but I'm stoked on this series! Well done, you two!

[@nickfrosty]

You know you're a fan when you see Becki and Chris walking around the house they did buy before they talk about it. "Ohh that area looks familiar"

[@Electricowlworks]

We're in the middle of renovating a rural mid-century home that was previously owned by a Roswell Park doctor. Welcome to WNY and keep the great content coming! -JJ & chaz

[@frankpappalardo2773]

I’m a real estate agent I have had clients tear out hundreds of thousands of recently put in improvements for that reason. Never put changes into your house. I’m in the process of buying a new home. The previous owner has done basically the same thing and putting in improvements that I don’t want so you were right on

[@rick2bees]

The one that didn't get away !!!! Amazing journey ! Now customize to your own liking !!!!

[@embracingranola]

Oh geez - I'm fully glad that this came out after our own house buying process was over. I can appreciated the stress from the other side!

[@JChinnBeEatin]

Sooooooo glad I waited to watch this video until I had the time to give it the attention it deserved. The filming, the quality of the editing, the storyline. *chef kiss* beyond excited for the rest of this series. Borderline impatient 🥴

[@simonsbuddy1806]

Just found you due to Ugmonk mention. What a show. We did the same thing 45 years ago, but our tastes were Victorian (it was 1984). Our daughter did the same thing in LA, but alone and with a demanding job, she opted for move in ready. We're looking forward to following you on your reno journey. One thing I was hankering for was details on costs of acquisition, bidding process, and reno expenses.

[@NickNicotera]

7:40 - "Conversation pit". That house is stunning!

[@TheDigitalDam]

When my wife and I saw our current home in the open house, we immediately knew it was the one. We were so excited and over the moon about it, put in an offer that was WAY over asking... only to find out we were the 4th highest offer and all the others were straight cash. One was $150k over asking, all cash. Anyways, the first two fell through and we signed as a back up when they were going through the process with the third one, which they eventually backed out and we secured the house! It was a STRESSFUL process but we knew our house was the one and we weren't going to give it up.

[@StetsonDoggett]

This was fabulous! What great story telling! What a great series! I cannot wait to dive into the other episodes. Thanks for putting this out!

[@seanirl7738]

I actually didn't think I'd be interested in watching this latest series of yours, but it's really entertaining. I'm no where near looking for a home. After selling a home years ago I am convinced that I won't get back in as an owner, but great start to the series. Still in the middle of the first episode and am convinced that I'll keep watching.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks so much!

[@codyandvictoria]

IDK HOW YOU GUYS DO IT! Can't wait for the rest of the series.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks friends!!

[@BellsofBregenz]

This is really exciting. Thrilled for both of you. For the journey of making this project and for all that is ahead. I am SO stoked you got this house. What a beaut. Can only imagine what your brains came up with. Really love the humor. Big love to you both.

[@BigBeauBrown]

DUDE. I LOVE this series! So dope guys!! I'm excited for the next one!

[@BeckiandChris]

Thank you so much!!

[@DarrenM]

What an aweeosme journey to be on. So happy for you both and may you have many happy years renovating and enjoying your new home.

[@DavidNiedbala]

This series is very relatable and is going to be a hit. So excited for this. And, you live like 15 minutes from us and it's pretty awesome just knowing that. {Helicopter flys over} THAT WAS BECKY AND CHRIS!!!

[@OGtalks]

What I love about you guys is that you don’t just review gear . You actually make these killer short films that insanely draw you in . It’s crazy how good you guys are at KZbin’s … loved this ! So good !

[@BeckiandChris]

Aw thank you that means a lot!

[@sabrinahuyke]

Congratulations guys! I had a smile on my face the entire episode, I can't wait for the rest of the series. I just admire how you are able to do all the renovations yourself!

[@JaredBusch]

you two are so impressive, it's scary. love this, can't wait for the next episode!

[@katarzynazygmunt]

Becki :" I'm so excited ". Me thinking " omg you don't know how excited I am 😋". Great video BTW 👍

[@ModernRemade]

Rewatching this series - so freakin' good! I love that it worked out for you all. Can't wait for future eps!

[@RichardCejas]

I just want to say that this could be on netflix. Congratulations guys for you new home. I am so happy for you both. sent you a hug fro Dominican Republic!

[@lucietamson1760]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Looooooovvvveeee it! Can’t wait for the others! I almost cried 🥲 I know all those feelings you’ve experienced. Really happy for you xx 😘

[@WestCoastVivi]

I’m so excited 😆 Watching you both interact with each other makes a blah day into yay day… immediately! Hurry up with the next episode! 🤪 Hugs & Love from California

[@glowingeye]

You don‘t wanna know how often I checked YT today, waiting for this video to show up. It‘s so much fun to see your whole „house-journey“, basically a huge BTS-compilation of all the vlogs. I‘m stoked and looking forward to the next episode, whenever you publish a new series I LOVE IT! The fact that you worked on this for such a long time without us knowing it makes it even better. At least to me it was a huge surprise :) So thank you for doing what you do!

[@leonyu6933]

Love this series!! Can't wait for the upcoming!!! 🤩🤩

[@danasuechilds]

I'm so glad you did this series, because home reno by you guys is my fav!

[@PotatosPotatoes]

Congrats! As a Realtor that has worked with multiple clients for over a year, you guys had a great agent with Steph. The fact that you got the first house you offered on is almost unheard of right now.

[@BeckiandChris]

She’s so amazing!

[@TaylorBrauer]

So cool seeing y'alls home scouting adventures. The house looked beautiful. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@joedavis9842]

I am so excited for this! As someone that's starting to think about looking for houses, I know I'll have to fix a lot and remodel things on my own and this will help me learn a little bit about what to look for and give me ideas. I can't wait for the rest of the series!

[@asztapaszta9]

This was awesome! A number of HGTV producers are crying in their showers. Thank you for sharing cant wait to see more!

[@luissamaniego9955]

holy bananas it's short haired Chris, the nostalgia is real!!!! this is dope!!!!

[@fhbjr]

So happy to see the series being released! Much of the inspiration for the mood in my photos editing comes from you guys. Thanks for sharing such amazing content ^^

[@usmcboyd]

Having just gone through the home buying process, the excitement that yall had just resinated. I know this was a few months back, but congrats on the home. I am looking forward to this series.

[@ChipBeforePC]

Truly awesome start of a great series... One passing thought the last episode of the series... Chris helps Becki install solar powered pop up helicopter landing lights and helps plant flower bed icon for helicopter landing area in backyard😉😉 All kidding aside...truly awesome content!!

[@mickdulmage5173]

I’m all in to watch this series! Loved that you started with the house hunt… it’s so exciting/stressful/frustrating, especially when you really want out of the current place! As always, love the editing, style and flow… can’t wait to see the vision(s) come to life.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks Mick! The whole process was so stressful and dragged out but definitely all worked out in the end!

[@daisyflynn9142]

This was amazing to watch! I can’t wait to see the rest of the series. You two are awesome people and I can totally relate.

[@luiz-seigo]

I am so excited with this series!!! It feel so unique, different and at the same time exactly what I expected from you guys! Congratulations!!!

[@alinegr]

So excited to see Becki unleashing the design energy she’s been keeping inside on this house!!! Thanks for making this series, couldn’t ask for better content and quality and can’t wait to see it all!

[@LittleMountainLife]

YES! So excited for you guys in this beautiful new home! And stoked to follow along another awesome video series!

[@23aaryanjha95]

[@ThatModernDude]

[@ingx2]

[@dvdpz89]

So happy for you guys. How exciting. Congrats!!!

[@facebook2k7]

Gawd that's a MANSION you guys bought! Hope your neighbors are few and far away. Trees could be cut but neighbors can't be killed off lol😄

[@HowToRenovateAChateau]

Very enjoyable and great filmmaking. Looking forward for the next episodes!

[@dr_ksparejiya]

Ohhh man.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This is just beyond perfection. 🙌🙌 Watched it 3 times now.. also downloaded it to keep it in a personal collection of inspirations... 🙌🙌

[@ShootingDave]

I know of people like to use hyperbole in the comments section, BUT!!! How have you not got over a million subscribers YET!?!? This channel is so polished, so entertaining, so aspirational and humble all at the same time. The title cards with torn paper, COME ON!! SO good.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

[@taufiknobo]

Very excited for this new series @Becki and Chris ! Very much enjoyed the first episode.

[@TheDrHassett]

Your excitement is contagious! So looking forward to Ep2. I might have to start filming my reno projects now.

[@RCodyWanner]

just thinking about that TV show watching this KICKING themselves - so happy it all went down the way it did, to see this show produced this way as opposed to how it would have been produced to fit a formula - just SO. HYPED. amazing work.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thank you Cody! It’s been so fun and rewarding to do this ourselves and a MASSIVE learning experience!

[@davidroberts6766]

Fantastic first episode. I was a kid in St.John’s in the early 70s before mom and dad moved us back to Montreal. Beckie’s accent always takes me back to The Rock. Love your stuff youngsters.

[@tpmcdonald]

Becki, you must have had a TIME editing this old footage! Every time i look back on my older videos I'm like, "WTF was i thinking??" So cool to see how far this channel has come in every way! Your footage looks insanely good now. Great story, look forward to more!

[@BeckiandChris]

Omg it was a JOURNEY! Both “aw memories” and “WTF is this clip?” 😂 weird editing a video with knowledge you have now, but footage you shot with knowledge from 4 years ago!

[@chrispsutka6722]

@@BeckiandChris Totally!! Hahaha

[@robtrent4167]

Excited!!

[@hugoowona]

Great storytelling! The fact that you guys can put on such a good story with clips filmed so far away and remember everything is very impressive - congrats 🙌
