Hahaha, exactly!

[@susanknight8961]

Deffently a crazy find. I’m so glad you got it out of the ground.

[@susanmatthews9804]

Yes, that's it LOL

[@rootbox]

HAHAH!

DIYfferent 😂

[@DoreenLovesHerDog]

You are giving your children the BEST childhood!

[@cityfarmer2665]

It’s no longer a mobile home. You’ve transformed everything. It’s a beautiful home on a foundation! 🙏💕

[@rebeccamcallister8038]

You both are a excellent picture of what a “helpmate” is! Doug thank you for being openly appreciative of Ashley! Everything looks so good!

[@honestlyme4247]

It was very sweet.

[@paullmitchell6400]

I dunno about anybody else... but I get so gosh darn excited when the R2D2 bleep bloop music starts playing and things just get done :) Now every time I start doing something or tidying up around home.. that tune is playin' in my head or I'm humming it while I channel my inner Doug and Ashley work mode :D

[@Gawonii1Austencao]

Not saying you... but anyone, When you build your own home, I think it makes you appreciate it more. You guys are doing a fantastic job to this place

[@carolynsilvers9999]

Your son's talking is so cute. I love how you're teaching your children to value and respect life of creatures great and small.

[@357dinko]

They say "Patience is a Virtue" and boy do you both have that. I love all of your work.

[@barbarainalabama460]

Foundation looks great. The blue tone of the paint pops with the blue door. Shalom! 🦚🚿🌴📐🥚🧰📦🖌🐓🦋 🏠 ❤️🙏🏻

[@devineldridge8381]

Did he just say isn't it amazing about the frog? How sweet. The tub would be cool to plant in.

[@LisaMarie51968]

I love the paint you used for the foundation, it matches with the blue doors. I can’t wait to see the siding project! Side note, I giggled when Doug screamed when the spider jumped 😂😂😂😂 🕷

[@kellydobberstine5011]

I love how he says "Isn't it amazing?" My heart melts he's so cute! I think you ALL are amazing.

[@Groveland64]

Just watched you scrape paint. I think it’s the pride you take in your work and the joy of a job well done that makes your videos so enjoyable. My late brother had your gift for building and innovation. I look forward to all your projects. BTW, it’s fun trying to translate Maverick’s developing language skills.

[@lyndastrait]

I believe that was the perfect color. It's subtle & the slightly blue-gray compliments the blue of the door. Maverik is getting so verbal a pleasure to witness. Thank you, I really miss my Granddaughters & it helps to see him grow.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Resist the temptation, put the 2nd coat of paint on. It will take half the time as the first coat and will significantly increase the sealing properties 👍🏼

[@leahr.2620]

I agree, its already prepped and clean, the finished result will last much longer too.

[@nyla3235]

That's what I was thinking too. Since the first is done, the 2nd would sure be easier and you get the durabiity of a more thoroughly covered foundation. Why do all that work and not get the best benefits - and you have enough paint to do it.

[@vanessaspencer355]

I love the blue hue cause it matches the door. Makes pop and looks amazing!

[@valhinkle6500]

Way to be adventurous Doug. Lol. The blue mask looks great! Oh and I think the blue hue on the cynderblock looks great with the door.

[@jonmac6133]

Learned a lot about Doug today; screams at jumping spiders, wears organic underwear (I’m thinking fig leaves! 🤣), and wears a scrunchy sling to protect his beard! Love you guys and the progress you’ve made. Stay safe. 😎👍🏻

[@lindaanderson7507]

You have completely transformed this house and property. Wow!

[@mommabscrochetkitchen2439]

That wire is why the previous owners never went outside during or right after the rain! Would have been a shocking experience 😅

[@defleppard-lover6298]

18:16 ....-> Ashley says, “finally with a smile” The content of this video was superb.. Belle being barefoot~ Maverick chattering away on daddy’s lap~ Doug’s thanking Ashley for helping him paint~ Loved, the clip of the bonfire in there as well... Such a beautiful-family, thanks for the video!

[@toocutepuppies6535]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses their BBQ scraper for things besides scraping BBQ's!

[@susanalger8413]

Yes that grill brush was very clever

[@davidkuhn8946]

Use mine for lots of jobs around the house. Had to get one just for the grill .

[@karynb7781]

If a building could 'smile', that house would be grinning Ear to Ear! Lol ; )

[@meemawdiana5102]

I love that visual!!!! 🥰

[@ericjohnson1008]

So true.

[@yvindascanius6061]

@@meemawdiana5102 Me too! It's a happy hoose now!

[@MistyRoads]

Totally agree! You saved that house and turned it into a lovely home. Awesome, awesome work. Take care.

[@RoseBee]

Little guy is so cute! He almost sounds Scottish!

[@tkilg7169]

That was the finest Homer Simpson scream I have ever heard. Lol. Fine work on your house. My wife and I were in your shoes about 45 years ago, and we are reliving it as we watch your progress. Thanks for your channel and hard work.

[@diyfferent]

Haha, thanks!

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

The newly painted foundation looks beautiful! Love the blue tint to the paint! But what I love the most is the way you two talk to each other! So kind and respectful! "I am glad you came to help." "You should not have to do this job alone." "Why are you dressed so nice?" (As she wears jeans and a great shirt over a t shirt) - I think any woman would say, "You got a good one Ashley!" and same to you Doug. Hope you can see all your blessing and rejoice in them.

[@stevetrojak5372]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE listening to your son talk. I can't understand maybe every 10th word. He's sooo cute! I miss those days. In addition, how great is it to see a kid climbing a tree??!! Not something you see these days with a lot of kids with eyes on a computer screen of some sort! DIYfferent really came through with this video and your grill scraper - it worked!!! Thank you

[@c50ge]

My dad ran some Romex for our yard light. Like you said it should not be used underground. It lasted 25-30 years. Poor people have poor ways.(that’s how I grew up, didn’t know we were poor)

[@jillhicks5615]

The color is great on that masonry. I agree that it is slightly blue, but with your blue door it's perfect!

[@cbgb3369]

“Isn’t it amazin’? ....I’m going to put it in and I keeps” 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Maverick is so cute!

[@kemberlyhappylife641]

Oh my...i laughed so hard when the spider jumped and Doug screamed....that is so me...made my day

[@mattysancho8988]

That poor spider when you were scraping 😅 But was that scream Doug??? 😂

[@normaotts2260]

lot of hard work but it looks great. nice to see Maverick talking

[@frances7207]

When a young couple can be so excited about a step ladder .. proof enough for me you really are living your best life ... awesome family always .. xo

[@molly56clark]

OMG, I laughed when you mentioned the Three Stooges and the pulling the wire out clip. She took me back to my childhood in the 60’s when all we watched was the Stooges.

[@Night_hack]

You made me laugh a couple of times in this video. The girly girl scream with the spider… Yep that would’ve been me LOL. I also loved hearing the wind in the trees. It reminded me of when we lived out west with the quaking aspen trees, such a beautiful sound. Can’t wait to see the siding....take care 🌸

[@beteeho]

The ladder is a good investment. When you own a home you are never "almost done." There's always something to do 😊

[@diyfferent]

True :)

[@kj7vj]

Ashley you are such a Sweet Wife. Loved when you said “You can’t do this alone” You guys are a great team working together. Keep Smiling😀 Love when the kids are checking out the bugs and frogs etc.

[@FaenumVena]

That blue grey goes great with the blue door, looking amazing. Nothing like finishing a job that has such a huge effect on how good something looks, very satisfying.

[@WandaKay4u2c]

"Let's pretend that this is cleaned & primed & ready for paint." My kind of DIY! At some point we just have to move forward. Thanks for the smile!

[@diyfferent]

:D

[@ChickasawScot]

Not sure what color siding you are using but I like the blue undertone of the paint. It works well with your blue front door!

[@sam-and-angela]

When you started pulling that wire up I suddenly found myself on the set of The Goonies saying, "Don't pull that! It might be a boobey trap!" 😆 Oh man! That fire pit you guys built is awesome!!! DUDE!!! Beard-approved mask! I need one so bad!!! 😵👍😂

[@kathleengraves4647]

Maverick's "amazing" always brings an ear to ear smile. ❤

[@JD-Defenders]

Agreed!

[@cdavenue]

Same! It reminds me how to try and see things through a child's eyes.

[@TheAmazinWards]

Now put white rock up against the house where the rain falls it will keep the dirt from bouncing up against the house. My mother in law said she was tired of dirty brick so she did that and it works great! :)

[@doloresbingham4591]

You guys are such hard workers your house is turning out amazing

[@dawnlund6660]

Ok, I can’t lie, the spider incident made me laugh a lot longer and harder than it should have! I love that you all seem to enjoy examining the local wildlife. Thank you for not showing us your organic underwear 🤣🤣🤣. Also, I’m so glad you are not bending your beard; that would be awful! Truly enjoyed the video-always do-but today was a lot of fun. Thanks so much for sharing. 💕

[@diyfferent]

haha :)

[@susanalger8413]

Well ...I loved that little smirk on his face when he was telling us about his underwear...I love these guys....they are honest and they are real.....good people....plain and simple....

[@linne834]

Love seeing the progress on the house. With the foundation painted it looks so good. Can’t wait to see the siding and the color. Really enjoy watching Maverick and Belle. Just have to comment on how much I enjoy watching how Ashley and Doug interact. You guys work really well together. Thank you for sharing.💕

[@MelissaMesser49]

I'm right there with ya buddy! Noises come out of me that I've never heard before when it comes to spiders! That made my day hahahahahahahaha! Love you guys!

[@sherimcgill6487]

That’s a ladder that solves a lot of common problems. Pretty neat!

[@kc2073]

the spider moment and the scream. Loved it 🤣🤣

[@zeynepp71]

The colour really looks blue if you have black colour paint you can add it into the new paint to make it a little more gray.

[@ggmax2958]

That foundation looks great. Love your firepit. I like sitting around a fire in the cool nights. Can't wait for the siding.

[@maryjanew20]

Your hard work is paying off. You will have a beautiful new home when you’re all done!

[@beachgranny8355]

I well remember when you guys lived in Kokomo. I had just started watching your channel. Boy haven’t things changed for the better since then. God Bless-❤️

[@theropesofrenovation]

Me too!

[@moviemakerwannabe]

A painting next to the ground tip to keep your brush from picking up dirt is use a spare board or piece of cardboard on the ground against what you're painting so you hit the clean surface instead of the ground. :)

[@diyfferent]

Good idea :)

[@yvindascanius6061]

Your Forever Home is looking better every time I visit this channel. Your hard - and I mean HARD - work has paid off. Fine-tuning the rest of the property will be, hopefully, pleasant chores for you all, when the kids can make their wishes come true in collaboration with you Doug and Ashley. Maybe a secret garden at the back or out in the field, fenced in to prevent the wildlife gorging on your flowers, fruit, and veg! Benches, chairs, a small - oh no you're living in the USA - I mean big firepit, patio umbrellas, and a barbeque grill? and the list goes on and on! The possibilities are endless. Best wishes on your progress from little Ol' Denmark!

[@fancybrooks3156]

I remember the house in Kokomo. That's when I first started watching your channel. I believe you two were re-roofing at the time. Later, you two dug out a whole basement wall that was bowed out (or in) and repaired it - all because you were selling the house and wanted it to be in much better shape than it was when you bought it! That was highly ethical of you!

[@diyfferent]

Yep, that foundation wall was the most laborous thing we've ever done. It was something that had to get fixed, I don't think any lender would have loaned on that house with the cracks that wall had, so it had to be done to sell and move on with our life to achieve our goals. Wow, that was such hard work, I never ever want to do that again!

[@fancybrooks3156]

@@diyfferent I hear THAT! That was a MAJOR undertaking! And it was just the two of you! But you got it done!

[@vickinoeske1711]

It is surprising how much a good ladder can cost! House is lookin good.😁

[@brandygregory6103]

I came for the home renovations. I’m staying for the manly screaming when the spider jumped. 🤣

[@diyfferent]

[@MsJWheels]

Clever idea to use the heavy duty grill brush. It worked great. That buried cable could have attracted lightning. Glad you found it. Whoo-Hoo new tools! Place is looking fantastic!

Most times y’all wind up doing things the hard way, but you know the quality! Lots of work, but well done, again! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️

[@Lostinstarsss]

Your fire pit is so cozy and comfortable looking. Would be perfect with a couple of wood adirondack chairs around it. I think the grey turned out nice, the blue hue looks terrific with the door. Great job guys! A good ladder is always a great investment and can always be used! Where did you find your ladder? Looking forward to seeing the siding you chose!

[@AlwaysWndrwmn]

That wiring you pulled up is put there to warn about buried high power line. Shows where the power to the garage is run. Might want to put it back before someone gets fried. It's an old school way of caution tape for buried wires and gas lines.

The best part was seeing Maverick cuddling with Papa. Such a loving family! Ashley is pretty agile and spry in climbing that tree. Got a little nature show and a whole lot of muscle power went into scraping the foundation. You are such an awesome team together!

[@srqlisa7881]

From the last vlog, somehow I knew when you picked up that disc thing it was going into the chicken coop, love it. The do make paint scrapers, but the grill cleaner worked really well. I just don't know how you wear black in the summer, along with jeans it's so hot. Great job done as always. Doug your beard looks fine. : ) peace
