Toilet height, windowless kitchen over sink, now too many screws. Eveeve's name change.Their house. Their decisions. Just embrace THEIR life..we're lucky they share. Just enjoy the ride!!!

[@potsylvania]

So relieved to see your video pop up. Been seeing on the news that there has been being some weather in Florida . Thinking of you all. Stay safe and dry.

[@GratefulGma10]

One thing I have always thought would be a great idea is to have workshops for women and men to teach how to use basic tools. I appreciate greatly when you explain what and why you do things. ❤

[@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132]

I would truly love that. Why isn’t that a thing? I bet there are many, many people who would love to do their own repairs, or build something from scratch, whether for fun or necessity.

[@carolthomson8331]

Some mobile home company might "borrow" your design. It's very unique and and seems so practical.

[@scottsimpson2265]

This is not a criticism. You guys are always fun to watch. A little drywall won’t hurt. it’s your world create whatever you want, enjoy your day, your videos make me smile thank you. Blessings to you and the kids from Philly. Keep moving forward with your dreams.☮️

[@Mari-B]

I love Eevee's laugh😂 and Doug's sense of humor. A beautiful couple. ❤❤

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

"Slowest drywaller's in town." LOL, cracked me up! Better slow and steady than to have to go back and fix things done in haste.

[@GratefulGma10]

I hadn't seen drywall done. Thank you.

[@ethelryan257]

This was a good example of doing it right.

[@nannypat6520]

Always a delight to see how you two work together. WELL DONE TEAM 💕💕

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Y’all that looks so good! I’ve never done drywall and I don’t think I ever want to! Lol😂

[@sharondetrick950]

It's amazing how much more spacious the kitchen seems with the drywall up. Maybe it's the light color compared to the dark insulation.

[@wendyeader261]

I have actually never seen drywall installed before and I enjoyed watching you do yours. That's a nifty trick, marking the location of the studs on the floor and ceiling, to make it easy to locate them after the drywall is up. I learned something today!

[@GratefulGma10]

Really!

[@debbiegoforth8537]

I'm so glad you posted. It's been a while, and I was concerned you might have had problems with Hurricane Debby. I think the kitchen looks great. I love a galley kitchen. They function very well.

[@sylviegonzalez1153]

You should have asked Stan to hold the drywall in place lol 😂

[@sayrebachman1206]

Now comes the fun part, seeing it all come together. You have done a fantastic job, taking something most people would have scrapped and building it back better than before! I bet it’s better than when it was new.

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

Doug your optimistic when you say most people know how to do drywall. Most means the majority or nearly all. I think most people don't know how to do much.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very smart idea to mark the studs on the floor and ceiling. Something to think about, drywall is fire resistant more so than wood products and that is one reason it is used in homes besides being cheap and fairly easy to install. It is also available in water resistant form. Y'all are doing a great job on that trailer.

[@ethelryan257]

This is a very strong argument for it. We had a fire in our garage many years back. When my dad built it, he insisted we kids put up drywall, tape and mud then put another layer on (at 90°) mud, tape the whole nine yards. That fire didn't make it through the wall. Impressed me. Never expected such a flimsy material could be so effective.

[@maggiecreech8244]

I could watch you a lot longer. Who would have thought I'd enjoy watching drywall being put up. Lol.

[@kimglass8371]

I know your feelings concerning drywall....BUT, it's so bright and cheery in there already!!

[@beverlysearles61]

Its really looking like a house now! The walls make a lot of difference!

[@jacquelinejenkins8]

Hey Doug and Ashley beautiful job on that wall. The kitchen is going to be beautiful. Take care see you next time.

[@QuietCottage]

Sheetrock gives a clean and simple look to the walls. The only change I would make to this kitchen is to put a window over the sink. I do not like feeling closed in while in the kitchen.

[@owensdetailing5333]

As always, brilliant job. I have watched your videos since you started, love the way you two make everything look so easy.

[@sharonhagen6362]

Love hearing Evie laugh!!

[@da1shark]

Just an FYI, she spells her name as Eevee (same forward as reversed letters).

[@irenel.m.3238]

Awesome, just a few drywall sheets and big change,

[@madkajun]

I’m so glad to see y’all back! I was worried that the hurricane got y’all

[@sharonsardeson7992]

Yay, my favorite morning video....missed you two! Everything is coming along nicely on the mobile kitchen. I see Stan is on the job too!

[@shawiseman]

You really should have a million subscribers. This trailer home reno has been such a great learning opportunity for me. EVERYTHING from the bottom up is available to SEE. Plumbing, electrical, rot, mobile home windows, insulation …. Etc. love your work.

[@little_one]

I love Eevee's tattoo.. so fits her.. I absolutely love your team work and giggles.

[@Kath-Erina]

Oooh I didn't see that, I have to rewatch 😊 I love tattoos and recently got my first two tattoos for myself❤

[@stephanieb531]

I was wondering if you guys were ok, both channels were quite

[@mandyleeson1]

I'm with Eevee, I don't like drywall, or plasterboard as we call it here, but it does look good. We've just got a peek into the finished product and it's looking good!

[@rhondallyons9842]

You do such a nice job cutting out the outlet opening! ❤ Eevee such a great helper! ❤

[@jimdelong949]

Hi Doug and Evie I'm happy with you. Getting the drywall up really defines the kitchen space now. I'm anxious to see what area is next.

[@lindahelmbrecht1248]

Wow……missed y’all! Wish I had the talent you have…….That mobile home is going to look fantastic!

[@ardenehanson2840]

Man oh man! What a difference! Love it.

[@jemreandeau3583]

Always glad to see you and your progress. ❤

[@wkjeom]

It was fun to watch this drywall progress. Looking good!

[@Charlotte-bn4gp]

Drywall is my kryptonite 😢 It HURTS!!!😂 Not the hanging but the finishing but as always, you explain your tasks perfectly. Have a blessed weekend.

[@jerriewyatt905]

The way you and Ashley work together reminds me of how my late husband and I worked together in our business..anticipating what the other needed before we said anything..

[@ruthstill169]

Ashley, identifies as an Eevee now🤔

[@jerriewyatt905]

@@ruthstill169 Really? I haven’t watched in awhile so I didn’t know there was a name change..

[@jerrywoodlee2345]

It was nice to see Evie has a sense of humor. It was funny when she gave you that long screw.

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Dry wall looks so nice! I like the smooth walls!

[@diyfferent]

True.

[@wandabrown9932]

It's amazing how fast it seems to be coming together, I've watched from the beginning, I know how much hard work you put into it. I look forward to your videos everyday, with my morning coffee. Thanks for sharing your building expertise.

[@mrsdig57]

It's going to look great! I hand wash my dishes I would have to have a window over my sink. It's your house do your thing. Love to your family.❤

[@diyfferent]

We only hand-wash our dishes too. We've never used a dishwasher.

[@sharoncochran8508]

I have a dishwasher but never use it. I use it as a dish drainer. I'm a little OCD and don't trust the dishwasher to get my dishes clean enough. Plus, I'm too cheap to use the electricity to run it.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

It’s looking really good, guys. I can see the kitchen much better now and it doesn’t look too small now. You guys work so well together. 😊😊😊

[@brendacreasy7726]

Really looking great! You guys make everything look easy, even if it’s not. Blessing to you all.

[@PlancoandChill]

Happy to see you guys. I have 3 youtubers I follow from a similar area and you guys were the only ones I had not seen anything from yet since Debbie. Glad things appear to be fine. I grew up in a drywall household my step dad ran a company. I like to see the basics. It helps people understand its not as hard as it looks to work with. Looking good!

[@lynnobrien9429]

That Lil bit drywall looks so nice.

[@poohiehere1364]

Looking good! Flash back to paper technique on one of your previous homes. Eevee will forever hate drywall!!!

[@diyfferent]

She hated drywall before that even. It's just a low quality product that falls apart easily, gets moldy easily, is heavy, and tedious to finish. It doesn't handle moisture. It doesn't handle structural movement well and is subject to cracks and popped screws. Also, it would seem that mining for gypsum isn't very efficient or environmentally friendly if you care for that type of thing.

[@poohiehere1364]

@@diyfferent Now I hate drywall too! ✊

[@shirleyquezada5864]

What a difference a little drywall makes! Looks great 👍🏻

[@donnavickery9623]

The dry wall looks great!!

[@CalvusVir]

Even though you don’t like drywall it sure does help define the space once it’s up. And in the kitchen where most of the wall area is covered by cabinets and appliances it’s perfect. As far as no windows in the kitchen - it’s a galley kitchen where both ends are open to the home. So it’s not like you are walking through a door into an enclosed space with no windows. I think that it will look and function perfectly.

[@lupitareuter]

Hello, I love your videos. Your mobile home is turning out excellent, better than a new one. I would like to be able to do what you do and have a nice place to live. I have a question. When you finish the remodeling, could you tell me how much money you spent? Please. It is my dream to be able to do the same. Congratulations. Every day my husband and I look for your videos. Hugs to everyone 💕

[@hm3a490]

Im from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤️ and I watch all your videos with joy

[@cathryngallacher9197]

I am one person who has never seen drywall before. Thanks for demonstrating. :-)

[@careip]

You are a dynamic duo working together. I love watching you. All that measuring & cutting made me wonder about how Doug did with Math in school. I wouldn't go anywhere near trying to do that! It would be keystone drywall.

[@marafarnham595]

Great job Doug ❤ I like the look 😊 much love 🤗❤

[@cherylreiter2107]

Looks nice! You are very conscientious about helping others learn. Thank you! Wow! It was great to see you two laugh! The info about puffy insulation is very helpful! I have puffy insulation.

[@RobertWestern-ke5ql]

Looking Good 👍. I'm so HAPPY to see you guys again I really look forward to your videos.😊😂❤❤❤

[@thasfun]

Wow, with the walls up, it looks a lot larger. Nice work. I enjoy watching the two of you. You work so well together. ❤

Thank god you guys are ok I thought something is wrong I did not see anything in bout 4 weeks was concerned thank god every thin is good love you guys ❤❤❤❤😮😊😅

[@joycejones2979]

I’m sooo excited! The walls are going up! It’s looking good although it’s just drywall. We or I can start to imagine what the kitchen will look like. I missed seeing you two but I know you do have a life and children. Good video.💕

[@armidaperez5360]

You are a true Teacher..your DIY is very educational, you give reasons why your doing it that way. This build is so light bright & airy. ❤ How your always changing up materials..

[@garykirk9888]

Ashley(Evie) and Doug I still so enjoy watching your videos!!!

[@brendariddle2349]

I was worried about you all!! Kept looking for videos, then I was afraid the hurricane had gotten you all! You have us spoiled for your videos! But just last night I thought you bit probably have things to do that would go much faster if you didn’t have to slow down & explain everything to us. LOL. I have not seen drywall put up so I enjoyed it. I’ve seen it tho & I know that stuff is crazy heavy. I don’t blame you for not wanting to put or every where!! Until next time ❤❤❤❤

I absolutely am thrilled for Eevee I love the name 🎉😊 great job yall!!

[@davidmcneight1917]

I highly admire your work. When people criticize you don't let it bother you. They're just narrow minded people who think they have all the answers. It's your project not theirs. You do amazing work and are always very logical about what you've done. Glad to see you survived the storm. Keep up the good work. You're a great family.

[@anthonymessina2834]

At the end of your videos, maybe you could show some of Belle's artwork. I haven't seen any of her art in quite a long while. Just a suggestion.

[@ninabooker2904]

I love how you two joke around and crack each other up. It’s cute. It’s important to be friends first and fall in love after the friendship is established. That makes for a long happy marriage and life. 😘 God Bless you 🙏💕
