This video helped calm me down from an autistic panic attack. I've been a fan for quite a while, and I hope you don't mind, but I gave you both a shout-out on one of my videos a couple of weeks ago. Much love. -Mack

[@diywife]

Hey we just saw that, thanks much! Also I’m so glad the video helped bring some relief!

[@marloespeters8404]

Hi Mack ! Because of your shout out i am subscribbed to this channel . So thank you ❤ and i hope your autistic panic attacks will be less

[@kevinmcd112]

@@MidwestMagicCleaning I'm pretty sure I found your videos as a recommended video from Dean and Andrea. I don't know if I'm subscribed yet, but I'll do it right now if I'm not. We're one step closer to that golden button! 😃👍

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

Two of my favorite channels!!

[@HappyHarryX5]

So glad to see that this was straight forward with no hiccups. Andrea has the guts, fearlessness, strategic thinking and determination of a navy seal. Two seconds before it started, I thought the Pink Panther theme would be perfect here! Well done, Dean!

[@vandittpatel]

I was waiting for "it's okay honey, take one step at a time"

[@diywife]

Ha! Big missed opportunity there, should've had you on the writing team for this one... :P -Dean

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Andrea, you are such an incredible inspiration! Beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐❣️

[@mistygeller3193]

Oh my goodness I’ve been there and totally feel your pain!! I spent 2 days, 8-10 hours each, pulling nails and staples from my 100+ year old wood floors after pulling up the absolutely disgusting carpet! 😣 You have such a rewarding result there!! It’s sooo nice! I used your code a couple of months ago and now have 4 boxes of samples from Flooret! You are not joking about how incredible their product is!! It’s so pretty, great colors with a perfectly right sheen! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with them!!

[@billandbeverly]

Beautiful work as usual you’re very gifted young lady

[@femalewarrior125]

Love everything you guys do! The children having their own project is fantastic and you two are adorable… such a nice couple!

[@marydenney8249]

So glad you are back! I missed you guys

[@PatriciaCramp]

That a girl Andrea! Take you frustrations out on the banister!. Best Therapy in the world.

[@dividsky]

A real video !!! Thank you, I needed this !

[@gloriabond123]

Beautiful!❤ I’ve really missed ya’ll. I’m glad the children are having a good time.

[@donnamullins2089]

Andrea as usual you are amazing? Stairs look fabulous!! Have a great week.

[@sharonc1326]

Looks gorgeous! The Pink Panther song edited in was hilarious! 😂 I’m always very entertained by your videos.

[@clairewright8153]

You 2 are such a great couple, you work well together, you compliment each other’s strengths and what you achieve in your home is stunning. Love the bloopers, Andrea’s face at the end just says, used all words, used all brain function, Im exhausted need food need shower need bed.

[@stacey9501]

The stairs came out really good and I loved the pink panther music.

[@debrarobinson-x6s]

The steps look amazing, great job Andrea

[@oreobenavidez953]

They look stunning especially the pink panther sneaky walk 😂😂 great job you guys

[@pdc1950]

I discovered your videos last week. I have watched you literally non-stop since then. You Two are very addictive. I love all your furniture re-do’s. I also watched all of your Road Trip videos…(I guess it was actually just 1 long one). I envy all of your energy. My daughter loves hiking and travels a lot, so I wrote down every one of the waterfalls and airbnb’s (or at least the cities they were near.). Thank you for letting us travel with you. As a couple, I just love watching your easy banter with each other. Sometimes, as I am watching you unload the van or carry a piece of furniture…and Dean is doing cartwheels, I want to say, “Quit goofing off and help your wife!”. But I realize that this is part of the fun of watching the two of you together. It is the reason why your show works. Don’t ever stop having fun together! That is a big part of making a good marriage work. My Sweet Charlie passed away 3 years ago and there never was a day of our marriage that he didn’t make me laugh. Keep up the re-finishing and I will keep on watching and telling other people about DIY WIFE. ❤ 😊

[@bettychilds5835]

We love the Lowe’s trip song. I think of it every time I go to Lowe’s. The Lowe’s song always puts a smile on my face. Plus random comments like, “flip flops are the Texas work boots. ..😂🤣😂🤣

[@mrspaulsen1717]

I would love your ideas about doing projects, and staying caught up on day to day chores...

[@DSmith-kb3fr]

Having just moved into our new home, our stairs are the same as yours, this is letting me know that my steps at the foyer will look beautiful after our DIY renovation. Thankyou

[@leeannekilgore9477]

Perfect ending to a great day ❤❤❤❤

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

The stairs are absolutely gorgeous!!! You are amazing Andrea!!!🥰

[@peachaf]

Andrea and Dean another wonderful joy.

[@pdc1950]

I loved the bathroom remodel. You are so talented. I have also enjoyed the re-model of your friends’ house….every room was better than the room before. They are very blessed to have good friends like you. Keep up the good work! Diane/Tampa, Florida

[@reniehandler2595]

You two make a great team!

[@suemussatto3543]

You're killing me Dean with the Pink Panther theme😂 As usual, you both are so, so good! Andrea with her carpenter skills and Dean with his videotography/editing. You both are just so much fun to watch.❤ Andrea....I get a kick out of your on camera voice and your voice over voice. 😊

[@lindasells4476]

GREAT JOB love your videos

[@jimlawlor6789]

You are wonderful video makers. No boring explanations just clear instructions with the demonstration. You are gifted and such a great team.

[@jenniferschweikert7464]

So satisfying to clean up that well used location in your home! Congrats!!

[@janetbof4]

Talent galore. Video & editing, use of tools, design creativity! Nice nice job.

[@patstrawhouse4005]

I’m enjoying your projects. A gentle reminder: You really should would wear a mask (removing carpet & sawing) and ear protection when sawing. I know that it’s annoying-especially when it is so hot-but you both owe it to yourselves and your kids.

[@twescher]

Princess doesn't like being told she's doing something wrong

[@alanyoder7629]

Loved that she used my go to method to remove the bottom post, if not logic then force. Sometimes it is the best way.❤

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

Great job Andrea. What a beautiful transition. Good on you both.

[@sherriecollins1570]

OH Wow - just wow. What a transformation! Hurray back. Can't wait to see part 2!!!! Love you guys!

[@missc541]

You guys are truly amazing, Andrea, becareful to ensure your back doesn't become hunched in old age! ❤

[@barbb.7028]

Wow!! Your steps look amazing now. Great job! Love the Pink Panther music with the careful stepping.

[@Toni_Snark]

Such a great vid! This is what I’m tackling next- nice to see Dean has finally calmed down a bit. 😅

[@MsMeri1969]

I love the way that they turned out! We are needing to refinish our stairs in our house and those treads are beautiful! And Andrea, I feel the pain, you guys helped me get through my workout today! 😅

[@MaddJules]

Beautiful!! Now you just have to trim the sides where the riser meets the original stairs and do the railing. Can't wait to see it finished!

[@masonedwards]

Incredible job, as always, Andrea (and Dean, of course). The stairs look beautiful.

[@lukekao8136]

Wow. Who needs the "Property Brothers"? You look like a "Pro" working on the stairs project. :)

[@gaylesmith1738]

Wow. You do have alot going on at your house! I love how you're doing your staircase!! I imagine you've learned alot of 'tricks' to make repetitive cutting easier! I enjoy watching what you do! (Love the Pink Panther music!! 😂) Very nice stairs!! 💕

[@EvaAliceD]

That looks so good!! Great idea and way fresher look, so so beautiful!You two are a fun team and your children doing good work where they spent their time while the stairs came about, see you on the next one 🙂

i found myself singing the Lowe’s song 👁️👄👁️ ~ *every single day it’s a Lowe’s trip* ~

[@tins369]

😂 same. Just right at the moment

[@missymama268]

I JUST sang that jingle as I realized that I need to head over there to get some replacement air filters!😂 It’s soooo CATCHY!😂MY lyrics would be: 🎶A Lowe’s trip! A Lowe’s trip! Every now and then it’s a Lowe’s trip!🎵😂

I love all the work you have done to your house!!!!❤

[@AJ8828]

Yay!! Another video, and 30 minutes! I get so excited when these pop up. "Fixed the newel post!" 😂 Next reno project...the garage? 😁 You need a fresh space to house all of your project supplies, and hopefully free of opossum 😉 Love you all, from OH 😊 Oh, and that Lowe's song....can't get enough! I've even begun singing it whenever we go to Lowe's 😆

[@sandylunden5782]

Congratulations!! What a great accomplishment!! Looks soooooo good👍❤️👍

[@michelleh.6363]

So glad you did this project because I’ve wanted to do this to our steps and questioned how to go about it…our home was built in 1831 so the hand rail may be a little tricky to cut around or remove for step overlays…but it all will go smooth hopefully!! 🙏🇺🇸💕😊👍🐾

Thank God I found this channel again 💃

Love the stairs…would like that in my house..hopefully someday..😊❤️🇨🇦

[@tracyjohnson2992]

Dean you are truly a mastermind. The Pink Panther theme was great man! You rock! Oh did i tell you that Peter Sellers the original Pink Panther was a distant cousin of mine. not the most favourite person in the family tree but who knew. Really and truly a distant cousin. My Grand Dad used to look after him when he was a kid in Southsea seafront area that was converted long after he left the building and became famous for being a little nuts or i say eccentric into a Chinese take away. He was born in Portsmouth In the South of England in the county of Hampshire. He was born in my home town in the UK which was also the birth place of the author of Oliver Twist and many other novels of his fame Charles Dickens. Whos house is a cultural heritage sight there with replicas of the furniture and the drapes of that time period as well as some of the original furniture pieces of the time. Just a bit of trivia for you. Andrea i have to say you have been inspirational in helping me not let my auto immune disease rule my life. I take medications to help me manage my disease and keep it under control and to also get up and do the things i love to do. i love that you don't let nothing stop you from doing what you clearly love to do. i am sure behind the scenes you have your good days and bad but you don't let it get you down for long and that is what i love about this channel. My Auto Immune Disease hit me all of a sudden 14 years ago and after 10 visits to the emergency room one of the doctors actually read my chart and tried something different then he found it. he said i had probably had it for a lot longer than the few months i was suffering with it back then It almost killed me, literally i was rushed to the hospital after collapsing on my way back to bed and i was out cold i had zero blood sugar count and my white blood cells were too high. My system was clearly over worked and under paid, wouldn't you know it is the story of my life. All kidding aside it was the lowest point i have ever been in my life. On top of that i had Fibromyalgia and a heart condition that kept me on my toes and all the health problems i had as a child suddenly made tons of sense. i was a sicky kid, always upset tummy and migraines too so i empathize with you and i can say i honestly feel your pain and suffering. If you don't know what fibromyalgia is it is a chronic Pain and fatigue disease that has not cure and they do not know why and how it happens. It is where the fibrous tissue in your body holding your muscles to your skeletal frame holding all of you together becomes painful all the time. You end up with carpal tunnel and tennis elbow and all the joints in your body over time just get more and more painful even with the medication it just dulls the pain it doesn't eliminate it. Even working on my farm is a chore sometimes sometimes i hurt so bad from the day before i just want to stay in my PJ's all day and just sleep but after watching you for so long now you have inspired me to push myself to doing more, i get up most days now with the mindset to just get on with it and listen to the i told you so's for pushing myself too far and too hard but that part isn't down to you that is just my stubborn streak in me that once i get my teeth into something i keep going till i quit or i fall to the floor exhausted. I am so stubborn sometimes its mind blowing really! Andrea i think you have come a really long way since flipping cabinets and giving them new life so i thank you for inspiring me to just get it done and as soon as it is done it is so worth the pain and suffering. God bless you both really you are both amazing! Thank you.

[@dfosbu]

Loved this show you are so talented! ❤❤❤❤ Love your humor as well

[@shanahiggins4413]

A trick I learned that might help you with measuring in areas like the upper steps. Instead of bending the tape measure and guessing what it is, the metal casing is 3 inches so run it up to the wall and read what it says then add 3 inches. I believe every tape measure has the inches marked on it but mine is 3 inches.

[@DeniCowdell]

They turned out beautifully and I'm serious about the stair spindles. I'll take them off your hands!!

[@mariannekuijpers9298]

inspirational! you always work it out!

[@tiffanyburgess4168]

I don’t normally comment but I just wanted to post a PSA. I had these steps before and if you don’t wear shoes in the house and you wear socks. They are very slippery and my dad and husband both had serious falls. These are not cheap and we had to rip them out and install carpet. I know she said they haven’t had problems but I would think twice and consider who’s living in your house and if you wear socks. I would not recommend these stairs to any of my friends or family. No hate just genuinely concerned and it was really scary when my family fell.

[@sharondoan1447]

You are so right. It only takes one person to fall and change their life and yours forever. Slippery wood steps with children is too risky.

[@Lele-rj6ro]

There are different clear, anti-slip textured stick-on vinyl pieces you can put on your stairs. Kinda of like what they have for bath tubs and showers so people don’t slip.

[@dshollins5864]

Beautiful!

[@tiffanybolden1319]

Hi, do you have an opinion on the same stairs if you plan to add a runner? Also, thank you for the information

[@MarkBraggs]

I have stairs just like this. LVP on top, and I wiped out down them twice within the first few months before adjusting to them. You are absolutely correct they’re slippery and the bottom stair blends in so well with the floor, that’s how I fell the first time and snapped my ankle really badly.

[@jeighhopkins5976]

Looks fantastic!

[@shellonmcallister4632]

Love your synergy ❤️❤️ Great work you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@bearteastudios]

I’m currently working on my stairs and omg the staples.. I did not have help and there were so so many. I kept having to stop while sanding bc I kept finding one or two I missed. Gloves are a must. Can’t wait to see what railings you’ve picked out. I love the modern wrought iron ones that are thin and have ball details but I don’t have an open staircase. Mine will just be a handrail along the wall.. if I could weld though.. oh boy! 😍 If I wasn’t working on three projects at once it would be time to learn. 😂

[@janetsteingold-yt1xu]

Great transformation ❤

[@yolandamercado6721]

You need a multi-tool with a metal attachment to cut stubborn screws flush. I found it very useful when I encountered it.

[@queencityminis]

When I'm removing excessive staples, I pass a metal paint scraper over them back and forth a few times. That pops many of them out and breaks off others. I only use pliers to remove the stubborn ones.

[@BenitaJoe-r6p]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[@TylerWarnasch]

Love the sniff of the stair riser at the end 😂
