[@dianewilliams9858]

Now see THIS is why I love this family.They work on logic and practical principles. They suspect a problem..find the problem, assess this problem..Address the problem ! All the while re- thinking logically where the priorities lay. Frameing out..insulate..drywall,seal the house.Logic before winter. Finish Floors, finsh walls,& cosmetics .. winter inside work..practical.. Genius!! Its refreshing to see a young couple so clear on what priorities will move them forward understanding hard work is the driving force to get there! Im really proud of you two..💙💖😊⭐

[@lindabeard7035]

You two are so lucky to have each other. You Doug, because Ashley goes along with all your plans and you Ashley, because you've got a guy who wants to do all this work for his family. I applaud the both of you. What a great pair you make. The values you are teaching Belle and Maverick will stay with them hopefully forever. I know that so many others feel this same way about you. Go team Doug and Ashley!!!!!

[@georgiannmaloney6594]

They could sell tee shirts with "Team Doug and Ashley" on them. Cool

[@beckyjohnson3153]

Love your can-do attitude. Nothing seems to discourage you...you just armor up and tackle whatever needs to be done. You guys are so inspiring. Also, good idea putting the laundry in the hallway and a pantry in there.

[@diyfferent]

Thank you :)

[@lololotto752]

That's alot of repairs & renovating, but you two hard working people will get it done!! 😊☺️🧡👍

[@allicianeuenfeldt3954]

I live in south east Idaho and we have a lot of mice regardless due to all the fields. We have used Irish spring soap in the box and sat them throughout our house. The mice do not like the smell and is a safe way to keep them away. We use them in campers and barns and everywhere we don’t want them. Hope everything works out for y’all. I enjoy your videos.

[@diyfferent]

Thanks for the tip!

[@cindykaye3152]

I'm so sorry you're having so many hardships with this remodel, but I know you can take on anything that place throws at you. Hang in there! We're all rooting for you! God bless!

[@stinki97128]

As an infection control nurse I am so happy to see you wearing a mask and gloves when cleaning up rodent nests and droppings. Good job, hang in there.... we are with you to the end

[@MuttieRo]

I understand your concern with venting out the roof...you also don't want mold to form in the roof rafters....Bless you both and your family threw the remodel of your home....you all have the pioneer spirit of tackling the unknown and conquering the problems of this home....Keep up the great work it will all turn out wonderful.....

[@kscheuerman5378]

Doug, I can't explain how much I appreciate your "get after it" attitude!! Sorry, I've complained about my husband before. When I told him I saw a rat in the house he said, "That's impossible because I put a trap outside 6 months ago!" You are a good husband and a good Father. I am proud of you, you put your love for your family into action.That speaks louder than words!! Take care and God Bless.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

I hate that you guys are having to deal with one problem after the other. But the one good thing is that you all are finding the problems and fixing it right, just think if you had hired someone to do the job, you would not know how much was just covered up. You two are making a wonderful home for your family!

[@withoutadoubt9091]

This made me laugh . Brought back memories when I was a younger . Living in a rented house , one day I decided to take a bath , instead of a shower. So there I am just relaxing in the tub and then I start hearing this scratching and chewing noise. Oh lord everyone in that house was a wake , when I got done acting a fool. They thought someone had broken in to the house. So I can just imagine what was under that tub. Lol

[@melindaoa8668]

You two are amazing! So glad you found those problems so they don’t get worse. I’m surprised an inspection didn’t reveal that sewer gas pipe problem when you purchased the home.

[@onemorchatykathy]

I admire that you both have the personalities to shift your priorities in mid stream and still not loose your momentum! You guys are brilliant! I’m proud of you both n

[@rbirkheimer59]

I sure do wish you guys could catch a break! One thing about it you will have a brand new home by the time your done! Keep on keepin on. You got this. Love and blessings from OHIO

[@509jlf]

You guys are funny rolling out of the picture. Made me laugh. Sorry you keep getting setbacks to your plan but I admire your fortitude. Love your channel and I always look forward to the next video.

[@dianepruitt7600]

Doug & Ashley, So sorry you ran into such a nightmare. I am always amazed how you are able to make lemonade when the renovation hands you lemons. Please be careful when you are cleaning those rodent nests. They carry terrible diseases. I hope y'all are wearing masks so you don't breathe in the nastiness. Great job & I pray that the weather will allow you to make great progress on your kitchen & bath renovation!

[@anitatucker8812]

Bless your hearts. The struggle is real. You've handled everything well so far and you got this.

[@cnorman2717]

When my family lived in a old farm hose we stuffed holes with steel wool to prevent rodents. They don't like to chew it.

[@thomasgreen9005]

Okay, I could see the area in Mavericks bedroom that will be his closet. You guys are going to have a wonderful beautiful house when you get done.

[@darbla1961]

I totally agree with what you are doing! That’s terrible about the vent venting into the attic space only! Even a total novice with regards to plumbing would know that that’s dangerous! Why would someone deliberately do that? I’m so glad you found the problems and are working towards fixing them. You will have a much warmer and safer winter 🥶🥶 Stay safe guys, you’re doing a great job!!👍😁🇨🇦

[@julieivers7375]

Oh guys, what a mess! Glad you ripped that wall out now! Can hardly believe the horror you found! On the plus side, the house will be properly insulated and sealed before winter, warm an cosy workspace as opposed to a cold an draughty one! Your resilience and the way you guy's prioritise is fantastic! Looking forward to the progress as it unfolds.

[@marilynweist6307]

Oh my goodness you guys certainly ran into a mess. I feel so bad for you all. God love you both. One thing I know for sure is that you 2 can handle it. Can't wait to see how you tackle this. 🙏🙏💗💗

Strip it all back to bare bones , two for one , then hit it with a vengeance . Its the only way . You have your work cut out before the freeze , but with your skills it should be quite possible . Hard work and good organization costs nothing , only time and patience . Plumbing and sewerage is simple to complete . I have completed jobs like this on many occasions . You will complete this , you have the knowledge and very good capabilities . Keep going guys you will do this no problem at all . .

[@susanlinginfelter706]

I have no problem with one bathroom.....I grew up with no bathroom....then one bathroom and have had more but one will work....two or more just makes more work!!! :) If you can get all those holes sealed before the rodents decide it's time to move indoors for the winter, you will be set.....then you can work at your pace. Bless your hearts....this home will be completely new when you are done......and done to your satisfaction!!!! I'm so glad you found this before the weather makes it impossible to fix before it's too cold. Keep us informed....I'm so enjoying your journey through this house. Love you guys!!!!

I'm with you on the whole bathroom thing! I grew up with 6 in our house only one bathroom and toilet, we managed!! My home now has only one, never felt like we needed more!😊 Thank goodness you discovered these problems! I can't believe they didn't have that pipe vented, my goodness. 😰😰😰

[@glendagrant9042]

I lived in a nice rental house out in the country when my sons were teen, preteen age. I smelled the sewer gas from time to time but the owners lived far away. I never asked for it to be looked into. After I moved to another state I heard the house exploded and burned to the ground. Thank goodness nobody was there, I think of the times I was working as a nurse in town and they were on their own. Not sure if it could be an issue but glad you are fixing it.

[@martinebangs6520]

Hi guys, wow, the rodents were taking over your house. I'm glad you found it when you did and that you're going to fix all that, looking forward to your next video...thanks for bringing us along on this journey....

[@DenisJava]

Thanksgiving Day about 10 years ago we discovered that the kitchen floor had rotted out due to a pipe leak behind the wall near the sink. The day after Thanksgiving we started tearing out most of the kitchen. We moved the refrigerator into the living room, had a few side tables on which we put out microwave and toaster oven. We used a 7 gallon water container for cooking and drinking, and washed dishes in the bathroom sink. It was like that for way too long! I hope you guys get your kitchen put together faster than we did. My husband works 50+ hours a week at his job, so he did most of the repair tasks after work and on weekends. Y'all discovered quite a mess. As much damage as you've uncovered in the parts of the house you've already worked on, I'm not surprised by this mess. Pretty sure you expected much of it, too. Good luck!!

[@georgefry660]

My lord, what a mess!! I would be setting traps for a year to make sure you get all residual critters. Thank goodness you do a job correctly and thoroughly.

[@diyfferent]

We did set traps just to be safe since the walls are open, but we have been extra careful about keeping our crawlspace door closed up to keep them out to begin with.

[@angolson6108]

@@diyfferent i suggest getting a cat just to be safe 😄

[@kimberlyallison3598]

I love how your remodeling is coming along and I think your ideas for the laundry room and pantry make good use of space and design. One thing you may not be aware of is the transmission of Hantavirus from rodent feces and urine. Please protect yourselves by wearing either disposable face masks or respirator and plastic gloves. I know from watching your videos that neither one of you are afraid to tackle any job, but just a little caution.

[@jeanniebrandon4037]

WOW - I will say that I lived in a house, with three kids, a dog, cat & her three kittens, plus the husband, while renovating for five {5} years. Winters in Minnesota just like Michigan. I was hard but we went about it in the same way you two are doing. We would tackle a project and find there was more work behind the walls than we expected. We would shift our attention to the most troublesome spots as needed. You two can do this because you are young, strong and extremely motivated. Set up temporary workstations for cooking, washing clothes and bathing. Eat well and sleep well. Every day you will move closer to the finished product which is your goal. Also, take time to go out and have fun with the kids. If there was one thing we did not do enough of was to spend time with the kids out of the house and the mess. God Bless your family.

[@glenokla4079]

Great idea kids! I agree 100%.. Get rid of the rotted boards, take care of the nasty yuck, and holes, insulate and then it'll be warmer for you all this winter. The winter is normally slower time so then you can get the rooms all fixed back then. Then you'll have a like a new home that's warm and have healthy air for you all to breath. Keep your heads up! You're doing great!

[@jeanholt185]

This reminds me of our remodel and add on in 1980! One thing leads to another, Your home will be beautiful when you are done. You are such good kids and smart.

[@missykowalewski]

As renovations go u guys r all to familiar with having to switch directions. But u always step back, take a deep breath and keep putting one foot in front of the other. I'm kind of glad ur gonna do the kitchen/bathroom before winter. There r so many additional tasks attached to those rooms that will give u lots of indoor stuff to do. Keep u from getting cabin fever. U guys r great stewards of a home. U made sure things were good instead of hiding things when u sold ur properties. This house is shameful how it was passed off. But it's good to see that ur giving the ole girl a new lease on life. Bless u both in all u do.

[@sunnyhill2250]

Probably the reason for it being a great deal when you bought it, eh?

[@missykowalewski]

I couldn't say exactly. They have spoken of getting a good deal based on the property and it's usable items. I haven't heard them speak directly of price. People buy homes just to remodel and sell. But they have been living in this since last winter. Day in and out breathing in excrement of rodents etc. I just felt it was a shame it was this bad and they DID NOT know.

[@shirlrebert4469]

Last summer I lived 6 weeks during a kitchen remodel with a hotplate,crockpot and a toaster oven and it worked pretty well

[@teriguerin8371]

Well, when there is one bathroom or perhaps two shared, usually the person (user) is more courteous to leave a clean environment for the next person. Well raised children will learn from their parents. You two are an example of great parents.

Thank you :)

[@gloriawarrick6434]

You two have great attitudes, considering all the unpleasant surprises you've endured. I would be so very discouraged. But, there is light at the end of this tunnel. You'll know what type of construction foundation your forever home will have and with a great noticeable difference in the warmth of your home this winter. My prayers are with your family in completing rebuilding your home without any more major destruction from those pesky rodents. TFS

[@southpawacquisitions6667]

As before suggested. You need to seal up all holes and accesses with steel wool. Believe me from 50 yrs of experience Those little devils will chew right through that spray foam. Those devils can not chew through steel wool. You can still spray foam for insulation but you have to have that steel barriers to stop them. You know you don't want all those little devils messing up all your hard work. Little advice from the old guy next door. 😉

[@smallfootprint2961]

Boy! As a woman who sorts laundry on the floor, I really dislike hallway laundries. My dream laundry would be to have a separate laundry room. I'd gladly share it with 1/2 bath and water heater, but would like access to the outside. It's so convenient when shaking out something to be laundered, and also something that needs to be soaked, or dyed. Not everyone is going to dye things, but I would do more of it, if I knew I had a space that was safe. I'd also like a nice sink for hand washing. Hope you're wearing protective masks while working to clean up that area. It's icky work, but so glad you won't have to live with it anymore. Nice work.

My parents are in the process of renovating their house. They’ve just finished their bedroom and the master bath, and are now starting on the kitchen. They’ve moved into my dad’s office and master bedroom into an area they’re jokingly calling “the apartment” while the rest of the place gets renovated. It’s amazing how far you can get with a mini fridge and a toaster oven and a coffee pot. They wash the dishes in the bathroom sink. So far so good! Best of luck! Living in a demo zone is hard but it’s doable if you’re smart about it!

Heads up: I know you don't have a Ford, but our Ranger had it's wires chewed through not once but TWICE. It was about $800 each time. The wiring is vegetable oil based. To get rid of the mice, we tried everything....Mothballs, fake coyote urine, you name it. The only thing that worked was peppermint oil. My neighbors think we are into Santeria with the oils we use on the engines of our vehicles. We have these metal tins with small holes drilled in the top, small magnets are glued on the back of them and a piece of scrap wool yarn is on the inside. There are 3-4 tins placed throughout each engine. We douse the scrap wool every couple of weeks. It's the only thing that gets rid of the mice.

Sorry to see you get another tough break, though I admire the way that you reacted. You were both calm and ready to see the upside because it set urgent new goals. It was clear that cleaning, rebuilding, sealing things up, insulating the remainder of the house and fixing the vent issues became your primary focus. A warm, rodent free house is much closer and more important than an instant fully fitted kitchen. Living in a warmer, weather proof, clean, safe, house will far more comfortable. Fitting out the remaining rooms during the long cold dark winter days will still be challenging, but far more comfortable. It was great to see the motivation and determination written on your faces. I hope you are now running out of nasty surprises
