Good move getting rid of the ugly chimney. Is really coming together. Congratulations!

[@tylermoxley195]

You are such a wonderful example for everyone to see! One of the most hard workers out there. I know there are many people that are inspired to go do things they've put off for years. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait what else you're planning to work on. Thank you so very much, you're an inspiration to us all!

I’m so glad you guys made this move. You all just seem so much happier and lighter, laughing a lot more.

Taddah! That was a precarious chimney and much safer down. Looks like it came down easier than you imagined it would. You have come such a long way in three years guys. Debt free and in a happy place.

[@sydney4911]

I love how at the end you two look at each other and you can just see the love. Thanks for posting!

I loved the special effects you put in when you knocked down the top of the chimney. 😎 Take care guys and keep up the good work! See yinz soon 🐔😁

[@jafrompa1555]

You guys are doing what this 77 year old grandma would have loved to do back in the day. I loved taking things apart and fixing things up. I so enjoy watching you two work together and love seeing your little ones. Such nice children and parents. You can see the love in your eyes.

[@diyfferent]

Thank you :)

[@thomasperez4412]

Great episode and great work done. Do what you like while your young. By the time you get older like 55 plus you will look back and share the memories with your children. Your little boy is so cute with his super blonde hair.

[@melindalewingellis1923]

I think that pile is fine out there. One day in times to come you may revisit the place and remove the pile. Right now you don’t have resources to drag it away. I read some people said don’t dump it but good grief you can’t do everything perfect for the arm chair quarter backs. IMO the pile can sit right there till another day when immediate projects are looming. Winter is coming and you have so much to do . I say good job you two. I just love you guys💕

[@leaperdomo1703]

Another great adventure... Doug & Ashley demolition crew. Yes, one day at a time that is all we can ask. Bless you both.

[@wildtravelinglinda6891]

When you’re young and free “going where life takes you” is a good motto. I have watched a few of your older videos and it’s amazing how much you both have grown and matured. I love the first ones best because y’all seemed so innocent. That’s the way life is though. We have to roll with it and make the best of every moment. Time goes so fast you look back amazed at how far you’ve come. Good job on the chimney.

[@yvonnezyirek5167]

Hahahahaha the chickens stood there like shit were caught...run out the door hurry! Hahaha

[@starr6465]

Doug and Ashley, your such a lovely couple and as I watch you two work so diligently on your home & property I pray that all of your dreams come true because you two deserve everything Beautiful The Lord has to offer. Thank you for sharing

[@lancejames9228]

thanks for all the videos. I always love it when my notification says OITC. I could watch you and you little family every day. Makes me yearn for a simpler life. Keep up the good work.

You're fine!! Old videos....new videos!!!! They are all great!!

[@pollyanne9973]

You must feel so relieved that the chimney is down after discovering how unsafe it was. The way it was it could have come down at any time. The house looks so much better without it. You did an amazing job as always. Hugs from Carole in UK

[@reginalawson8008]

You really lucked out getting that chimney down, congrats. You need to leave a bit o space between your bales to promote circulation. This keeps rot and mold down greatly. Most stock will not eat molded hay. Great progress. Wonderful team work by the way! Thanks for sharing:) .

[@carlahubbard7561]

the house does look better without the chimney! Love the way you two work together!

[@suenorton873]

Doug & Ashley I feel like I'm saying the same thing over n over. Great job! And I will say it again..great job!!

[@rosegarcia5069]

Scary how loose that chimney was..so glad you stopped the room reservation to take care of it..

[@picketfence2028]

Dearest ones, you have come a long way. You set goals and you've met them. You've worked hard and long, but I think your saving grace has always been your go with the flow attitude. That, 'it'll be okay' mentality can take you a long way in life. You've learned to improvise, become adaptable, and sometimes the changes that have to be made to accommodate something else can turn out beautiful. Still the hardest working people on the planet. I hope all your dreams come true! ;)

[@lindahenderson840]

Productive day! Dangerous chimney down, Ants evicted, caterpillar poop dislodged, and welcoming large mouse hole opened up. Love it lol :)

[@jodyhuntsman4126]

I could watch u guys every day

[@PeaceOutWorld]

Backing up a trailer, through trees, like a boss =D Really fun to watch you kick down that chimney! I was surprised you dumped it on your own property rather than get another dumpster. It's hard not to have a place to dump, I know. You shouldn't be embarrassed about your old videos. They were great!

[@diyfferent]

haha, they were a little cringy. We're okay with concrete being put back there and just consider it "fill". Plus the dumpster company told us we can't put concrete in the dumpster.

[@MsJet1]

I love watching demo! I think the change of plans to redo the front of the house was a very needful thing!

[@wildwiles03]

Doug: The goal is to push this over without taking me with it. Ashley: That would be ideal. 😂😂😂 You two are cute. I really enjoyed listening to y'all joke and talk to eachother. You can tell that you enjoy eachother's company.

[@thankfullpriscilla291]

You really got me on the chimney going back up! Good video and quite the day's work.

[@lindastansell37]

Your property is beautiful I loved the slow motion part with the chimney. Great job

[@joann5157]

I just have to say that that was the MOST AWESOME trailer backing I've ever seen!!!! In your last video (?), I was distressed when Ashleigh (Ashley?) let the chickens all out of the coop (I'm a city girl), wondering how she would round them all up at bedtime. It was amazing to see them all hop right up and into the coop!!! LOL

[@glorialeach7301]

I held my breath TWICE as the chimney came down, one was when it went back UP 🤗😄😳😂😂😂😂

[@barbarahinote3786]

Get another dumpster and clean all the junk, including the chimney pieces. You will eventually want all of your property free of debris. What a beautiful property.

[@yvonnelucas-cessna4458]

Dumpsters are not cheap, but you can take things on your own to a dump site. We have one not too far from where we live, and it is really nice to be able to load up our utility trailer and the back of our truck and take that stuff to the dumpster. :) Of course, once you get there, you have to unload it as well.

[@kmjsocket]

Check out Doug's mad driving skills maneuvering that trailor between them trees! Awesomeness!

[@PatricesProjects]

I was truly impressed.

[@Susi-Saks]

I thought the same thing.. :)

[@Siansonea]

I am so glad to see the chimney go. It was such an obvious add-on, and it completely spoiled the lines of the front of the house. I think the house is going to look so much nicer with the new windows and siding, I'm really looking forward to seeing that unfold. I think you can continue working on the interior while you're waiting for the windows and doors. You might as well do all the sister joists in the ceiling of the living room area, as well as adding thickness to the wall studs, wiring, etc. That way, once you've got the exterior completed, doing Maverick's room will go very quickly and the living room will be a breeze. You could even, if you wanted to, start hanging drywall and the like. I know you like to do things one room at a time, but sometimes it makes more sense to multitask.

[@diyfferent]

We would love to work on this inside too but it really comes down to money. We had to spend a lot to buy the windows and door, and even more to but the new sheathing, wood, and house wrap, etc. So we just don't have the money to work on the inside too. That was why we had to switch gears, it was really one or the other without taking on too much debt. (not complaining or begging though) This is all fine, we are doing okay, working it out, and it's coming together :)

[@Siansonea]

@@diyfferent I can relate. Home repairs and renovations just gobble up money.

[@lisakindhart5505]

Wow I seriously can't believe someone would be blasting you for dumping concrete blocks on your own land especially when there's already a dump site there ! All those blocks will come in handy for fill later on if needed and are posing no treat to anyone not to mention they moved them a ways away from their house so it wouldn't be an eye sore . Your doing a great job Doug and Ashley !

[@diyfferent]

Thanks, we appreciate it :)

[@lololotto752]

Great chimney demo! The chickens are funny little critters! 🌞🐔🐔

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

So glad that chimney is gone, gone, gone! Great job Guys!

[@kscheuerman5378]

Doug, when you pushed it over I had to pick my chin up off the floor! That was sure smart to do it sitting down & with your feet. It couldn't have been better. Just plug the hole in the side of the house & call it a day. Good job! Take care & God Bless.

[@valerieb8006]

I had to laugh at the rewind of the chimney coming down! ...this was a fun video. I'm glad ya'll are still at it!

[@jacquicoder7160]

Great editing of this video! I loved watching the chimney rebuild itself. And, Doug, I'm sure glad you didn't come down with it. I loved the end when you found some of the chickens in the barn. They were exploring their new territory while you weren't watching! You two are probably a bit sore after all that heavy lifting; please take care not to hurt yourselves in all this demolition.

[@halfbreed4life62]

Ya'll are so lucky to be doing what you're doing while you're young & strong & healthy. We've just decided to move & upgrade in our 50's. It's not so easy now. But, oddly we'd been thinking bout getting us a wooden bottomed trailer. Looks like it's much easier than throwing it in a truck!!! Thanks for the video. It made up our minds!!!

[@diyfferent]

Cool! We got ours at Home Depot :)

[@ruthsquiltingandmore5346]

Your mobile home looks to be about the same age as ours, judging from the materials used. We had some of that same brown siding( also painted blue) around the windows on ours. We had to replace all of it. We are the original owners of ours and have kept it up over the past 40 years. Your home is going to be beautiful when you get it redone. Love following your videos, especially since we have done much the same to ours.

[@supramby]

Loved the reverse action and slow motion on the chimney fall. Nice touch. Every time I see you risk life and limb I think TRACTOR. A metal pole down the chimney with chain wrapped at the top and a little pull from the old tractor would have taken that chimney quick and safe. That's not chimney scrap thats fill and should be placed in an easy to get at spot for a time when your doing a driveway or something then covered with class 5. Also get a ball and hitch for the tractor and pull your trailer with that so you don't ruin your car. Love the channel. Hope I don't seem hypercritical. Just tractor, tractor, tractor

[@VintageTexas59]

Exactly my thought, why not use the tractor for pulling and hauling instead ?

You made quick work of that chimney! Always a pleasure to watch you and see your happy, smiling faces. Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How do you guys manage to avoid muscle aches and pains with all that lifting?.... lots of stretching before and after? As always, looking forward to the next episode! ... I laughed so hard at those cheeky chicks at the end! :)

I really enjoy watching your progress. I was raised in the country around farming, farm animals, etc. Now I live in the city, so watching you guys on your property is like nostalgia to me.

We had an area out back of our property growing up where all reusable items went. Concrete, windows, doors, an old tractor 🚜. My gramps called it the bone yard and he didn’t buy anything new without check the yard first. Drove my Grams NUTS 😂😂. Great video guys! I’m loving the view without that chimney, looks great. God bless 💕

[@Laurieb2851]

Belle is like a little mini-Ashley. The kids are interested in everything you guys are doing. When the little one gets older he is going to know everything about renovations, remodels, building things for the home, etc. He really watches dad do everything, and is quite interested in what he's doing.

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

You could use the pieces that did not break and use for planting. Paint nice colors, fill with soil and plant. I think that is a good use of some of it. You guys need to be careful going thru that junk. Michigan has Rattle Snakes.

[@googiesfairyfarm4834]

I know you said it’s commonly done but I’m curious about why you would dump the old chimney on your property rather than hauling it off or starting a new dumpster load? Won’t you just have to clean all that mess up later?

[@diyfferent]

One of the dumpster company's rules was "no concrete in the dumpster". Also, I actually don't even think the landfills are allowed to take concrete. We wouldn't want to pay to throw out concrete anyway, when it can be placed on our own land in a good spot out of the way. We won't be cleaning it up later, it's just concrete in an area that can't be used for anything with all the other big rocks and buried junk that is there anyway.

[@googiesfairyfarm4834]

Makes sense. Thanks for the reply.🙂

[@YayaTo2]

You two are so just working so hard! That was a day of heavy lifting, besure and be kind to your bodies, I wasn't and now at 55 I'm suffering from not doing so!

[@brendadavis4254]

Sometime in the future you can go there and have someone with a backhoe to dig a great big hole then push all that debris in it and cover it up then you can use the land.
