Welcome to the world of home ownership. Pro tip - be sure to double your home improvement budget because cost overruns happen all the time! Also - you tube is your friend to learn about DIY projects- you can do a lot of this yourself to save money! 😊

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you so much! Yes yes yes on the budget haha. It ALWAYS goes over.

[@cfoster8706]

I GUESS IN NEW MEXICO NO PERMIT IS NEEDED TO WORK INSIDE THE HOUSE. THAT'S A LOT OF WORK FOR TO DO IN 30 DAYS

[@sherisevalentygibb]

I have a full ...proof failsafe way to keep from crying when you chop onions! I got it from the movie "The Help". So you hold a match stick between your teeth when you are chopping onions and it works every time! And no, it is not lit! It has to be like a wooden matchstick, not those cheapy ones that come in a little paper packet.

[@EatSeeRV]

Interesting! Thanks

[@dougd9944]

So happy for you both!😮

Thank you so much ❤️

[@suewellings4500]

Congratulations both on your new home. It’s going to be so sweet and can’t wait to see it finished. I get the need for a home base. Well done you 🥂

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks Sue! Appreciate the well wishes

[@2426eltejano]

Congrats on you new house I bet the end result will be awesome

[@EatSeeRV]

It's already coming together so beautifully. Appreciate your well wishes and support

[@JCrozier1]

this sure wasnt what i was expecting today. Looks like you are knocking it right out though. super cool. hope to goes together easily.

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha us either. It all happened so quickly. Thank you!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Again, congrats! I cannot imagine tackling these projects in June & July 🥵 It was too hot to do much when we were in that area in April & May. Good job!

[@EatSeeRV]

Oh my gosh it is brutal. But it's when it happened so we're making it work!

[@robertcollins4634]

Congratulations 🎊 We remember our 1st house so we get your excitement.

[@EatSeeRV]

For sure! It's exciting

[@tammyfaulkner7428]

Wow! Congratulations Liz and Dennis! 🎉 Looks like you have your work cut out for you but it will be so worth it in the end ! Looking forward to your new and next adventure ❤

[@EatSeeRV]

Oh yes we do. We appreciate your support so much

[@Twisted_stitches_leather]

Nice! Good luck with the renovations!

[@mikemanjo2458]

What a cute house! Congratulations!!! I love the stained glass windows upstairs....so pretty! ❤❤❤🙏 Jane in SC

[@EatSeeRV]

It was one of the things we fell in love with too. Now to make them efficient haha 🤔

[@mikemanjo2458]

@@EatSeeRV You can do it! Y'all have some mad skills and great helpers! ♥️🙏Jane

[@loriwhinery3210]

I always wondered if you two would get a home. Great choice! You love to travel but their is no place like home! Congratulations, I can’t wait to see the end results!❤️💜

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes we definitely are ready for some extra space and roots in between travel.

[@SandorLau]

Congratulations! This is going to be beautiful. After even a few weeks on the road, I like the stability and open space of a house so much. Airbnbing while away or just keeping it waiting for your return? I could hardly see you two settling in one place for very long.

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha yes we're not imagining this being a long term home. Airbnb when we're not there ideally. If we end up not loving house life well just rent it long term. We definitely aren't giving up RV life.

[@mariebrumer3440]

I'm excited that you guys bought a house, have a home base, and it's near family. It will be great once the rehab is done! 👏🏻💖🙏✌️

[@EatSeeRV]

Us too 💗 thanks

[@LostCooper2020]

Welcome to Florida , I am Jenny I live in Sarasota Florida 2018 I hope you’re ready for this definitely some interesting weather here and interesting traffic definitely higher insurance lol car insurance and homeowners insurance lol All jokes aside I do not miss the snow but I am glad that I found your channel I love your house it’s gonna be so amazing God bless you all Jenny

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks Jenny. We're both native Floridians and this is my hometown so we're used to all that comes with living here. Just been a while haha! Glad to have you around

[@EarthRoamingAdventures]

Awesome, yep now that St Pete is so gentrified those prices are sky high. What happened to the live in Mexico idea? We have a home base in Trinity FL and every time we return its repair/clean up the yard/find insurance company :)

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes it is crazy prices there. We still want to live in Mexico but everything is cash there and we're not financially ready for such a large purchase. Here we can get a mortgage.

[@proudtexan5513]

So, so happy for you guys…you now have ROOTS!!!!

[@EatSeeRV]

Yessss! Such a wild feeling

[@marcn5733]

Wow, so exciting and unexpected! Having a home base is likely good for both mental health and logistical reasons. It seems like this isn't your first rodeo, and I'm sure you'll have the home of your dreams in no time. Best of luck!

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank youuuu! Yes it's coming together nicely (although still stressful at times). 😂

[@Djangorechained12]

Congrats, needs some work but thats half the fun.

[@EatSeeRV]

Woohoo thank you! Needs a lot of work haha

[@johnbob4545]

Y'all lost me at Florida. I went the other way to New Mexico and your should have too.

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha we're from Florida and love our home state. Although New Mexico is lovely too!

[@user-zv4mh9lt8r]

❤

[@irenehinojosa6629]

Just wondering how you found good contractors and were able to get a jumpstart on the project. Congratulations on getting the house!❤

[@EatSeeRV]

Being in real estate for a while helped. The A/C guy is family. Roofers and termite people we've used before on past flips. Camilo was recommended to us by family and he helped us renovate a fix and flip in St. Pete we did in 2018. So we knew he was amazing already!

[@marychristie6194]

I could never be in the RV full time -I love to go but I also like to come home 🏡 🚌🇺🇸🎉⭐️

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes, I think it will be a nice balance for us! Looking forward to that feeling.

[@searlearnold2867]

Congrats ! You guys are making the reno channels look slow !

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha we're on a short timeline! It's amazing what our contractors have done in just three weeks!

[@garretlewis4103]

Congratulations. Christine and I get the need/desire for a home base. When we start traveling in earnest, we want to have a home base somewhere. Also, your cats are not going to know how to act with that house.

[@EatSeeRV]

You're so right. We can't wait to build them an awesome cat spot in the house haha

[@dougd9944]

I use to live at St Pete Beach...😂

[@EatSeeRV]

Wow! Neighbors

[@bluebutterflytravels191]

We are into our 8th month RVing and living/traveling/working in central Mexico. At around the 2 year mark we plan to choose a home base area but we will be renting not buying and no plans to go to the U.S., like ever...

[@EatSeeRV]

Totally get that haha! This is one of what we hope will be many home bases. One in Mexico and maybe one in Europe.

[@viper7077]

And you thought RV surprise costs were bad! Haha jk Congrats to you guys!

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha rightttt! Honestly labor for home repair is cheaper in many ways than RV. Since RV specialists are so hard to come by. We're lucky we have such an amazing contractor

[@user-et4nx1bi2y]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you for watching!

[@monumentaltravel3745]

Can see it being difficult to travel full time forever.

[@EatSeeRV]

It's do able (I mean maybe not forever) haha but there are people who have done it longer than us and enjoy it. Just gotta do what's right for you.

[@lolal1026]

Wow... what a new adventure Workers should be using respirators with all that rat poop around

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes probably!

[@Lynnthelioness]

Where are the kitties?!

[@EatSeeRV]

In our RV like normal

[@sherisevalentygibb]

I love you guys to death ... however, someone recenlty asked me what my biggest pet peeve is. It's when people mispronounce words. Especially when they're very articulate. SO ... I just have to say this at least once. It's not eck-speh-sha-lee ... it's eSSS-speh-sha-lee ... this is for the word especially. There's no "c" or "k" in that word love :) Just saying :)

[@otownhardcore]

I think I bought a cell phone from this guy. I wonder if hes a bass player? Does he still listen to sissy survive

[@matsulli2086]

It seems with possible asbestos and rat feces you might want to be using masks, gloves and coveralls.

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes that probably would have been advisable.

[@mikepulido3518]

it was nice following you 2 on the road good luck to you both im just not interested in any home renovation videos and congratulations to you both

[@EatSeeRV]

Hi Mike. Totally get that. We won't be coming a full blown home reno channel now. In fact this will be one of just three videos total on the topic. So stick around. Many more travels in our future RV and international
