[@rikkitikkitavi997]

I’ve watched your channel since the school house property and I know you aren’t asking but I want to tell you why I like what you do. You can recycle anything. You take 1970’s paneling and repurpose it. You separate out scrap metal, save it from the landfill and turn it into cash. Your projects are always enough outside the box to make them especially interesting. And I always watch to the end to see what you do to make Ashley laugh. Finally, I like the respect you have for your children’s privacy by not over exposing them too much. Best wishes for your future businesses.

[@ruthanderson1758]

My favorite thing Doug has done is when he popped up from the hole beside the barn completely covered in mud - made me laugh so hard I almost choked myself. He's got such a dry sense of humour.

[@diyfferent]

We "heart" a lot of comments, because we do enjoy them and want to acknowledge them. But sometimes it looks like we are just "hearting" everything. I just want you to know that we do appreciate the comment.

I appreciate you telling us your story. After last year, people losing their jobs, businesses closing, and competitors, its easy to see why you were losing money. I pray You Tube is the answer to all your money problems. Love you guys.

I know this is two years ago and I haven't caught up on all the many videos you've done, but don't ever feel obligated to explain yourself to anyone on Utube. You are utubers and no one needs to know anymore. I'm a grandma and I sp appreciate your videos. Your the most real couple out there, I'd rather watch your channel than any of the others that are just going out and buying things to decorate with. You are about real life and real life struggles. Keep up the great work. ♥️

You could flip houses. People need simple, clean homes at reasonable prices.

[@ensignmjs7058]

Yes. They could sell to people leaving urban areas escaping the 'rona.

[@Sattori_hikes]

Just something to consider as someone who's done both flipping and owns a contracting biz. Most flippers dont consider what they would be making if they were working full time. Yes we saved 25,000 on a flip but the 4 months it took to flip didnt account for what we would have been paid on another job (around 40-50,000) those 4 months.

[@Abc-1973]

I agree!!!!! You would be wonderful at flipping houses!!!!!

Brent Wheeler...another thing that makes this channel so real & lovable...I’ve never once in the 3 (?) years I’ve been watching Doug & Ashley...& of course, Belle & Maverick...is that they’ve never once asked anyone to “like & subscribe” like so many others that use You Tube to further their own agenda’s.

Brother, I have watched many of your videos and if I had your job skills there is no question what I would be doing. I would buy old run down mobile homes that no one wanted, renovate them to make them look like new, and then sell them by owner. You are no average DIYer. You have professional building skills. You could take a clunker and turn it into a beautiful cottage looking home, inside and out. You could probably make 100K a year doing these. And while you are at it, you could make you tube videos and teach viewers how to make repairs on their own mobile homes as well. Your subscribers would sky rocket.

[@debbymiller8828]

Agree 100%

Homesteading videos are very popular, especially with kids and animals. If you're not comfortable with more videos with your kids, do more with the animals on the homestead. Viewers love to watch that stuff.
