Demolition Day

[@conurse]

Bonnie It is so refreshing to see how your children can play and not be in front of the TV or other electronics.Joel is a very ambitious and hard worker Your home will be beautiful!

[@babichickan181]

There's something about Joel in handyman mode that just flutters my heart Bonnie! Even when it's just him from the knees down! What an absolute catch he is, loving father, caring husband, hard worker! You won the husband lottery woman!!

[@ClaraBane]

I'm so excited for how everything is going to turn out! And so fun that your kids will forever be able to go back to your old videos and see how the house used to look

[@LizProbablyLit]

1. I love that they don't do a time lapse on the construction. It's very cool to see and hear Joel talk about it. 2. I wish Joel had his own channel that he didn't have to update everyday you know just to see him do the things he loves like working out in the yard, and doing demo's I think he could really be informative! Anyway congratulations on redecorating/demoing the kitchen I am sure it will look great!

[@roxypink60304]

I can tell that Joel loves remodeling and very knowledgeable with what to do. I'm surprised he doesn't do construction for a living because his really good at it.

[@emmafallsinlove]

I thought he did?

[@TheChefSteph8]

Joel is literally the most hard working man ever. When I was really young I used to watch my dad work on different projects all the time. How neat for your kids to have such amazing role models like you (Bonnie ☺️) and Joel. I just LOVE your family. Many prayers and blessings sent to your family. Always.

[@Ieishdragyn]

I love the wood pass from the garage, and brick fireplace! Natural is so nice! Agreed, tiny kitchens stink.. I need ROOM! Gonna look great, when done! Joel's doing a fabulous job.

[@jessjay423]

I can't wait to see what Joel's hard work is going to look like in the end!

[@joannwilson2238]

Joel you are the hardest worker in that whole family. full time job and remodeling.

[@VirtualSunshine]

I absolutely LOVE watching your house renovations and interior design choices! With both you and Ellie picking things out, I'm completely spoiled haha

[@CarlysCorner]

I think I say this every time, but you are so blessed that Joel loves renovation and is also good at it. Between me and my husband I'm the more fix-it type, so I guess that means I should be learning this stuff. So special that your kids will get to learn this stuff as well. Such useful tools!!!

[@gbyestrada9996]

I am so excited to see what they make of their interior!! I can't believe they are also pulling up their drive way 😱😱😱

[@qumbie06]

There is something so attractive about a man who is able to work like Joel does. You can tell even from the small little window we see into your loves that he takes such pride in everything he does, his family, his work, his relationships and life in general. What a great role model you have for your kids and all of us viewers. Not leaving Bonnie out, she is definitely a wonder woman and a super role model herself!

[@hudson12616]

"People were smart back in the day, and I like it." 😊 Love you guys

[@paigee1315]

I loved how all the kids sat on the floor and ate and did the dishes in the bathroom! So creative! Love you guys!!

[@jordaningle5645]

I love how gentle Joel was during demo. Usually some men go nuts and just make a bigger mess. But he seems so concerned with making sure nothing got ruined for you Bonnie. 😊

[@jordaningle5645]

+Bonnie Hoellein so sweet of him. My husband would have been sling a sledge hammer 😂 love your vlogs. And I totally squealed when I saw your reply. 😊

[@xCuTaYyX2]

Joel is amazing he is such a hard working man ! I love it!

[@debbie8370]

you know what.. I think this channel is one of the reasons youtube came to life. There is NO "show" NO "we're so important" NO hate or bad.. just a family showing people from all over the world what they do to work through life. With all normal negative sides to it. Thank you for telling your story! :-)

[@Softie47]

I agree!! I love the fact that they are 'real' and not putting on a show.

[@SpeckofDustonaPaleBlueDot]

"Look! There's color!" "That's called insulation." 😂 I adore watching and listening to you guys. I wish I were closer. I would offer myself up as free labor. I love demo and installation work in older homes. 💪👍

[@ErikandLindsey]

Oh my gosh! Boston is so cute! " We have a new kitchen, and a new baby!" We love your vlogs! You have such a sweet family, Bonnie!

[@elizabethhoath]

Oh my gosh Bonnie, here I was thinking you were just doing your kitchen, but you are doing a full house Reno!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!! I feel emotionally invested and if I were living in Utah and not over the other side of the world in Australia then I would be sending my handy hubby over to help Joel. It's going to be beautiful!!! Big hugs from my family to yours from Melbourne, Australia xx

[@keverleycharles]

Omg when you showed Cody, Olivia, & Boston sitting playing 😂 Cody & Olivia were playing with rocks while Boston was slowly throwing gloves at you then he slowly reached for the hammer and it cut to the next scene 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Too funny

[@aubriesoetaert]

Oh, girl....I'd be using paper plates and bowls and plastic silverware. You are amazing!

[@koriedean9255]

I can't wait to see how the remodel turns out! I admire you for taking such a big project on. We redid our floors in our house a couple years ago and even that was overwhelming for me. So brave to take it on with young kids! I know it will look great in the end.

[@lucylemonade1364]

Bonnie, i'm wondering if you have any pictures of your house when you first moved in. I would love to see a before and after :) Lots of love from Canada.

[@morierangelia4883]

Same

[@summerchic1019]

Looks like demo is well underway! I am happy for you guys! Doing what is best for you guys by remodeling and showing the kids how get things done! Always fun to see how much they love watching the work and helping!

[@charlenepatton4052]

I really like that you are vlogging more now. It's always so much fun seeing what projects you have coming up Joel is so handy with his knowledge on carpentry. It will look just beautiful when it's all completed.

[@marysummers]

Joel, you would make the best This Old House host! It's so cool to watch you demo and work on your house. You're a great teacher!

[@kelseydew]

Joel is such a hard worker! I can't wait to see how everything looks. I remember when we got our house redone (I still live with my parents) it was a DISASTER! I could not stand living with no kitchen and clutter, but everything looks so much better than before!

[@yagmur2787]

If jackson would see this he will be like "I BWOKE IIITTTTT 😭😭" 😂😂

[@biggestfan830]

😂😂😢😭

[@morierangelia4883]

YASSSS TRUE 😭😭

[@rosieshome4150]

Never thought I'd enjoy watching demolition. Can't wait to see the finished renovation.

[@skyebunny777]

Joel is amazing and such a hard worker!!!

[@linzg4897]

Chip and Joanna-- I mean Bonnie and Joel. 😂

[@katelynnsara5076]

😂😂

[@Mitchellerin3]

Hahahaha that's my favorite

[@emmyjeanhasacamera]

I'm so excited for you and your family to enjoy your home after renovating. You have a beautiful place and with all the updates I'm sure it'll be spectacular! Thumbs up for having a handy husband! 👍🏼

[@heidio1106]

I love how in some clips when Boston talks he tilts his head and has little hand gestures❤️❤️

[@caitlinfaheyzxo]

I remember my mum and dad remodelling our holiday home remembering that amount of dust and old ash in the old fireplace and love the marble you picked

[@sweettreatsyt]

Can't wait to see your house after the renovations, it's going to look amazing!!

[@MarshaBenne]

Sending prayers for you guys! It's really hard to live in a renovation! Hope you have the calmness and stress free time! Also that it goes smoothly

[@thesils3655]

Wow Joel makes 90% of all husbands look bad. He is HANDY and makes ZERO mess... Im in love

[@SimpleLifeWithErika]

I was wondering why you put them to bed so early lol had no idea sun stayed out till 9:30. Boston just cracks me up he's so funny!

[@Cailleannn]

I am so excited to see your house once its finished! I bet it will be gorgeous! :)

[@meganartrip9521]

Just wondering if you considered tearing down the wall connecting the living room to the kitchen? It would create so much space! Either way im sure it will look amazing! Prayers during all the craziness

[@WibbyLou]

It could be a load bearing wall so they might not be able to... Dunno

[@courtneymynheer9024]

that's where they put their fridge

[@chiragkeshavbhai7905]

I was thinking the same thing but they would loss wall cabinet space and where else could they put the fridge?

[@sarahstrader1042]

Pretty easy to move the fridge and add an island for some extra counter and cupboard in a small kitchen would do a lot

[@chiragkeshavbhai7905]

+Sarah Strader I think that would look great and open it up too! But I think they like the enclosed separate room feel. Thinking about it does seem like a low bearing wall, because it runs through the center of the house and there is already a beam right by where they can put an island. They've probably thought everything through and got input from family, whatever they do I can't wait to see it!

[@amandasehon1874]

Have y'all thought of tearing down the fridge cubby and adding an island while making the top floor a large sitting and dining room?? I love remodels and I'm so impressed with yalls work in the rest of the house!! Y'all are so much like my husband and I!!

[@StefanieMichelsen]

What do you plan on putting by the fire place and how come you guys are taking some of the walls down?

[@lydiajsheltonn]

seriously, you guys are one of my favorite vloggers! i get so excited watching !

[@nanacline7005]

Joel you're so good at all the handiwork you do around the house. Like the basement looks awesome. You did a wonderful job. I would hire you to work on my house. I can't wait to see you after you guys get finished upstairs what it look like. I'm so excited for you guys to get it done I know it's such a wonderful feeling to have a makeover done on your house. So excited can't wait to see it. Thanks for sharing.

[@kateyeslinger5972]

Your house is going to look so great! Good job Joel🔨🔧

[@kayceemirando]

Agreed.

[@tanyapogue3495]

Love all the demolition videos , Joel is so smart & he looks so cute fixing stuff .

[@karaokequeen29]

Cant wait to see the finished out come.. Exciting.. Joel is such a good husband and hard worker , you're so lucky Bonnie , treasure every moment xx

[@jillianl5078]

It stays light out until 11:00 pm here in Edmonton in July. I can totally relate on the hard time getting the kids to bed in summer :)

[@alisonryley3207]

Joel saying he's got to be careful with the doors cuz he doesn't wanna bugger them up! lol. It's going to look amazing when it's all done! Great job! 😋

[@Jojo-jg1pz]

I find it so interesting that your house had plywood on top of drywall. I'm used to seeing drywall coated with primer before its painted. Thanks for sharing your home remodel.

[@sarahthelibrarygirl]

Remodeling is so exciting, can't wait to see it finished!

[@holttad]

"Anyone know what this is, CLASS?!" Haha I lol'd a little. "I don't know what I'm more afraid of, the wrath of bonnie or falling." Joel during demo is quite entertaining! Your house is going to look so different!!! so excited for you guys!

[@heatherkelly2368]

I'm going to miss your white fireplace, I loved it! I'm sure the new will be lovely. Joel is such a great guy!

[@lisettehernandez3008]

Lol !!! Loved how Joel was teaching the "class" he's such a hard a worker you guys are a good team ❤️

[@DearASMRAbby]

"Go ahead and eat your frozen sandwiiiches." BAHAHAHH! Great job Joel on all the hard demo work! Both of your guys' hard work is totally going to pay off!!! YAY! Oh and Bonnie, that marble is GORGEOUS! Thumbs wayyyy up. :)

[@kaylamarie3968]

I love seeing them redo the house, it makes me wanna update ours

[@bErEkEtEqUiErE]

This should of been another episode of Joel's Manly Things! 😀 Good luck with the home renovation. ♥️

[@cloclolehmann5565]

So what are you exactly doing different to the kitchen? I reckon if you knock down the wall where the fridge was, put an island bench style in and it will open up your kitchen a lot more 🙂

[@andreaallen5522]

Bonnies personality is everything! Anyone can fall in love

[@montanamamma9012]

These home update videos are my FAVORITE!

[@marjouriGisselle]

Dangit Joel! You give us single women false expectations lol

[@kimishalp]

lol ikr

[@Cristini8]

Haha yesssss!!!!

[@prissyn79]

Hey Bonnie, I make little play bottles out of water bottles by putting beads, confetti, sand, use anything then glue the top on. Babies love it!

[@lizsibrian8108]

Omg you are brave to do this remodel with 4 kiddos...especially the kitchen! But then again y'all are the best and have the best kids! Can't wait to see the finished product! Also, as an insurance agent, I feel compelled to say make sure you update your homeowners policy! 🤓

[@amykruetzfeldt]

I've always loved and admired your fireplace. I'm sad to see it go. I'm sure the new will look amazing too!

[@bralynngee4459]

Joel working with that ladder on the stairs made me so nervous!!! can't wait for the remodel to be completed!!!!

[@Taniesha__]

Cody hammering the ground was so hilarious man best part of my morning, and I bet it was so hard for you to laugh at Boston throwing the gloves Bonnie 😂 bahaha

[@Taniesha__]

For you not to laugh* lol

[@christinalewis391]

wow Joel is hard at work, does he do that stuff for work. he's amazing at all that and he makes it look so easy... im sure your house is going to look amazing after all the reconstruction is done. can't wait to see it... your kids are beautiful!!! can't wait to see your next vlog

[@mickycabot8297]

i love when joel said anyone know what this is class !!!

[@CamilleLaughts]

Where can I find me a Joel?? Bonnie do you have a link or referral? Help a girl out

[@cheercrazee1]

Bonnie did I miss where you told us what you're doing with the kitchen? Looks like you are expanding? Sorry if you mentioned I just can't remember...I love everything that are doing with your home! So exciting :)

[@ceciliasilva8771]

Boston's hand movements when he was explaining the sinks and the fridge😂😂

[@rosebroadway2093]

Oh my, been there, done that! Now I can enjoy watching someone else get down and dirty. Remodeling is so rewarding and some fun along the way. I could write a book, and YOU probably WILL some day.

[@godisgoodallthetime7622]

I love your family. They are wonderful.

[@LaurenandGreg]

Best part was when Joel was renovating and said "Anyone know what this is called, class?" *waits* "It's called a lentil!" 😂😂😂😂😂 #lessonsfromjoel

[@juliemyatt872]

Joel's teeth are brighter than my future

[@KittyKissedBiscuits]

I am loving watching this process !

[@karenshepard4064]

You all are like the HGTV of KZbin! I am loving your house reno!

[@sarahp6748]

It was so hard to tell, was Joel removing wood panneling from the walls? Your house is going to look amazing all updated!!

[@typical_brooklynntypical_b3529]

***** love you bonnie your house is going to look amazing

[@amberleecooper8042]

I love these kinds of vlogs!! I wish my husband was as motivated to redo our house like joel.

[@Mommy2kal]

Wow, Joel is such a hard worker!! My husband is the exact same way, isn't it so nice having a husband that isn't lazy and a good dad. Must be these Mormon men :) I'm so excited to see the after.

[@maryamiee27]

Does Joel still work?

[@1964ghfan]

Joel on the stairs scared me!!!

[@Nicola1975]

Me too, my tummy flipped over lol

[@elliehall2472]

I love watching Joel demolish the house, it's so weirdly satisfying

[@thegingersnaps8075]

I love all the trees in your neighborhood it's so green!

[@julieroe1630]

Hi Bonnie, are you knocking the wall between the kitchen and sitting room out?

[@emmavanmaanen6839]

I love your vlogs! I admire that you have that much energie to work at aan New remoddel and you are just done with the basement. love you guys ❤ I'm from the Netherlands in Europe!

[@Only_jessica91]

It's awesome to see the progress, I can't wait to see the finale finish!

[@laurawilkins4250]

"Anyone know what that is called class?" 😂😂😂😂

[@macisavage2921]

[@DallasAlisa4]

Awesome job Joel. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off.

[@rsilva2652]

wow you guys are really tearing it down!! how exciting Bonnie!!! 😆😆😆😆 "Eat your frozen sandwiches!" LOL 😂😂😂😂 We are doing our entire basement and it is so much fun to pick everything out! Good luck on everything 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@sigurbjorghelgasigurgeirsd854]

I live in Iceland, and here it is daylight 24/7 over the summer time... It can be so hard getting kids to go in bed those days and to tell them its night time +Bonnie Hollein

[@hugmefirst]

I love a freshly renovated house! Also, my kids prefer the uncrustables frozen so they aren't so messy.

[@macylindberg193]

I'm in love with your video's!! Your such an amazing mother and Joel is such amazing father!!!!

[@carleyjames1617]

love you guys ☺ your video just made my night 😃

[@sheilapan2245]

Joel is such a hard worker! Hope I find someone like him one day💗!! Bonnie you are one lucky girl😂💋

[@stacie.]

I love, love seeing the house improvements. Will you be tearing down the wall separating the kitchen and living room? Would look nice but I bet it'd be costly!

[@oliviamatthews2]

Can't wait to see the finished product!
