That young man is going to be so proud of the new boys room. He can say he helped do the remodel with great pride. One hell of a good lesson to learn. More appreciation. Keep up the great work.

[@jeanniealford4234]

You and Angela and Doug and Ashley are my favorites. I really look forward to both channels. Thanks, people.

[@minnesotagal507]

I agree did you see their bus?

[@diyfferent]

Thanks :)

[@MsJWheels]

I agree with avoiding unnecessary debt. Never make yourself a prisoner to keeping up with the Joneses.

[@dellagilchrist7647]

Debt free - except for one thing. Owe no one anything except love. Roman's 13:8

[@emasters8619]

Amen! When they said they bought that mobile home for $2k, I got jealous.

[@audreywy1743]

Not only am I impressed with Elijah but you guys as well for embracing his interest in construction. Many parents just don't have the patience to let their kids try things. Congrats to all of you! I fully understand not wanting to be in debt, another EXTREMELY VALUABLE LESSON you're teaching your boys!

[@kimberleytramper8966]

I love that you are letting your son help out. There’s nothing like hands on to teach them.

[@lynnaandj1]

So proud of Elijah!! He’s not only a strong little man, but extremely smart.

[@rynait]

Elijah definitely smart, and learning the tools far faster than I did when I was 10 to 12... and today I am involved with welding, woodoworking, and electrics. plumbing is my least enjoyable area. :)

[@guyina4x499]

S&A you're so right about not being in debt. Too many people think paying a mortgage is the way it should be. Makes it to easy to live beyond your means.

[@brendapenner689]

Each and every one of you fine people are funny, adorable, and very lovable! I love you all, and wish you nothing but the best ever single day! 🥰🥰

[@markjames8268]

Sam & Angela being debt free is a wonderful feeling, In 2008 I was in debt for almost $300, 000.00 and it was compounded by being laid off and being unemployed for almost a year. But I was able to sell my house and pay off all my debts and use the left over to buy a Fannie Mae repo for pennies on the dollar and spent the next 8 years remodeling it and fixing it up. I now have the personal philosophy of if I don't have the cash I don't need it. I can truly sympathize with your feelings about debt the only thing I owe is taxes. One suggestion you mentioned having to replace the bathroom window with it being a oddball size you may want to remove it and wall over it. Another suggestion is on central heat and air, it will cost more in the short term but look at mini splits you can size them for a single room for less than $800.00, and with the small size of your place you can probably do 3 splits and cover every thing.

[@melonie9605]

Fast forward a few years and Elijah will be building on his own bedroom at this rate!

[@kwarts]

How about renovating a whole house? Kind regards Christiaan

[@imari2305]

Your sons are going to be so thrilled with the new bedroom and bathroom. Elijah is such a hands on kid. He will remember these moments later on when he grows up and cherish them all.

[@lilyrosedaisy2003]

I love that you had the little one in there learning and working too.

[@gernblanston7895]

At our house, these are called the "might-as-wells". As long as the wall is open, we "might-as-well".......... (Spend more time, more $$$, etc) ☺️ keep up the great work!

[@starhues7138]

It warms my heart to see your family: working as a team..each member giving it a 100%: the boys learning true respect for their parents’ hard work because they are part of it. AWESOME 👍🏼

[@diannaanselm2982]

Elijah is a great worker. You are training him to be able to learn all skills.

[@kscheuerman5378]

You must know how much I love it, when you have your son helping you do the work!!! He was really getting after it with that pry bar! He did a great job!!

[@Hollybank5]

Elijah is such a good helper and hard worker !!! He’s just precious ❤️ You’ve trained him well, Mom & Dad !!! 😘😘

[@pamelavasquez4961]

I truly enjoyed watching the progress you have done with Elijah being the highlight. He can do more than most adults I know. God bless 🙏❤️

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

He’s truly enjoying his overalls too! 🤗

[@pamelavasquez4961]

@@GreenAcreHomestead he looks so grown up in them.

[@suesweetpea7]

LOL I LOVE YOUR EXPLANATION OF PROJECT CREEP SAM AND ANGELA LOL. ELIJAH IS A VERY HARD WORKER LIKE HIS PARENTS AND HE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN HOME AND FAMILY ONE DAY. YOU TWO SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF HOW YOU ARE RAISING YOUR BOYS IT WILL STAY WITH THEM FOREVER.

[@sherylynhilyard3402]

Your son is amazing look at him go he's going to carry a lot of knowledge with him in his adult hood good job dad and mom

[@rosemarshall1219]

Hey Sam, I think you are right about the 1988 ‘s mouse nest, I read it on the newspaper at the time. It was a very famous mouse family.🤣

[@karencary3312]

important. Really enjoyed helping. He is such a bright light.

[@sandraflinn9914]

I remodeled a 100+ years farmhouse! It was hard work but I loved doing it!

[@JcUDE]

Great job teaching the boy and enjoy the free labor from him.

[@b.powell3480]

Great helpers! Also, I forgot, 50 thousand staples in the panels! Lol 😆

[@GCSol]

I paid off all my debt when I was 50 years old. I could've retired then but worked seven more years just to keep busy. People ask me all the time how I was able to retire early. I always tell them "no debt".

[@jesusislord2457]

Yay Elijah!!! You are more than cool! I am so proud of you for helping your family! ☮️💖🙏

[@judypace4856]

Great job !!! Elijah is a great helper !!! Look forward to next episode!!!

[@3rdgrainrocks88]

That is so cool you have your son working with you. He is such a quick learner. Everyone should homeschool. Great job.

[@ladyangi100]

Sam you and Angela great job you are also teaching your children to learn many skills that many children have not learned or will. Unless their parents teach them. Not going into debt, learning how to work with their hands, much much more. As a mother of children your age, you make so proud of you both. ☺️☺️☺️

[@glennmcgee1729]

Thumbs up on the creep, you're on a roll!

[@Montblanc1986]

Nothing but admiration and respect for you two, I hope you keep it up for the next 50 years! That can do attitude that is

[@lindaschoolcraft8536]

Love watching you guys. You were made for each other! Such a beautiful family doing a wonderful remodel. I love mobile homes. I cried when I had to move out of my last one, a 12 x 70, into this old farm house with lots of problems. That was in 1976.....still here and still have a lot of problems....lol. God’s blessings to you and your family.

[@dhanakhei9911]

Debt Sucks !! Agree 200 percent !! Love from Shreveport Louisiana 💕

[@allthenuts9179]

I purchased a repossesed double wide mobile home and ripped it down to the studs and started over. Once I'm done with it (inside and out) it will be exactly what I want, down to the light fixtures, all while remaining debt free. I commend you all for choosing this route, I only wish I had done it sooner.

[@ronmartinmhg2804]

Watch it come down with Green Acre! The boy loved it. Good for him.

[@lloydrmc]

Your son is incredibly capable for his age.

[@jimswed50]

Elijah did such a great job today. I loved loved loved his hard work!!

[@mamabearandcubs7701]

As ever, a great video 👍🤣, your Son is growing in stature and confidence, I'm so glad you are encouraging him to help. He is a demonstration Trojan! 💪 xx

[@karenhollingsworth5180]

Well done! Nice to see your son so enthusiastically helping.

[@LuJustLu]

Elijah is an amazing young man! He jumps right in there, straight Beast Mode. I don't blame you for wanting to stay debt free and doing these projects yourself. A lot of people are trying to keep up with the Joneses and living in a nightmare. I'm really enjoying this remodel, as always. Keep up the great work.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Great job guys! Your son is a big help! God bless y'all!

[@crus5112]

I totally relate!! We live in the home my husbands father built in 1940. So just imagine all the things that come up that we have to do. BUT we have NO MORTGAGE!! Such a blessing. So we will continue to do whatever up keep that comes along. We have been blessed with a very sturdy home during hurricanes, we live 1 mile from the gulf coast here in Mississippi. We replaced he wood on the walls and put up drywall and the learned the studs are cedar and the floor joist are creosote timbers. I guess back them they used what they had.

[@DLRyoung]

Wow! I’m happy to hear you have two bathrooms! Y’all living the big life, just kidding. Grew up with one, still have one. Haha! Your son is a fantastic help. You go man! God bless

[@aa999xyz]

what about the two by fours could they not be reused? I think your son is having way too much fun! It is teaching him not to be afraid of a little DIY project such as this.

[@donnab8010]

I was thinking the same thing. Surely, they saved them for other projects.

[@barbarainalabama460]

Elijah done a fine job. 🕊

[@raquelcruz3874]

You do what works for your family and what make it confident for you guys I enjoy your videos.💪🏼

[@dixien6601]

Hey guys!! Great job! Love watching you! My husband&I are DIYers too. Saves a lot of money! We have no mortgages either. You might want to consider a mini-split system for heating& cooling your home. Very efficient and I would bet Sam could install it himself and save a lot of money. ❤️

[@leahr.2620]

Oh, so a project creep is kind of like when a project snowballs? Maybe it snowballs in the winter and creeps the rest of the year. Lol

[@rebeccamcallister8038]

I love how you are giving Elijah the opportunity to take ownership in his room. He is gaining skills that he will have forever. I appreciate how you step back and let him try, while not expecting perfection! Yea for your excellent parenting!

[@jshink5038]

I enjoy watching you two and how you are handling this project. I like the idea of doing it paycheck to paycheck. That always the way my wife and I have done it. It is very rewarding and cost effective. Do it your way and who cares what people think.

[@marilynbrewer1029]

I think you are a smart couple paying as you go that is a great thing to teach your kids keep up the great job

[@GregoryMallard]

If y'all are looking for a bath tub for that bathroom.. Go to a local mobile home building supply warehouse near you. They'll have exactly what you need in the correct dimensions you're looking for.

[@freckles3705]

Lowe's actually stock 54" mobile home tubs but if they have the extra 8" of space a standard 60" would save a lot of headaches.

[@lillianmarion2939]

You got a good little helper

[@lorineilson7529]

Your son is so cute and a great helper!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Debt free is pure BLISS. Good for you. xxxx

[@lavernekephartBrandy]

Sam you have a wonderful demo crew, I never miss your channel, your son loves helping you all good for him!

[@b.powell3480]

You can move the vent over so you can put in a full size tub unit !

[@leahr.2620]

Looks like Elisha is a big help👍👍

[@janhunt6214]

Got a big kick out of this demo! That is a champion crew you have there!

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mjrehwalt46]

You kids are the cutest family ever! I really enjoy you all. Personality to the nth degree.

[@brendakilberg5727]

I am really enjoying watching your progress. And your sons are little troopers! Looking forward to what's next!

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Sam Angela & kids, nice video.So great to see your son helping & learning.👏👍

[@cathyjones3403]

Love your definition of project creep😂😂😂😂.

[@kayhenry6293]

Elijah is AWESOME! I can see him, in my mind, tearing out that bathtub. He’s using those tools like he was born to it. Wait! He WAS born to it! Super good going, folks.

[@meloniewalston2273]

Your son is learning very valuable skills by helping. I commend you guys for letting him work. Awesome work guys!

[@garycrumrine9538]

Your son is a BIG help1 way to include him. This experience will serve him all the rest of his life.

[@dezfan]

Debt is imprisoning! We try to live as debt free as possible. It means having to do without the shiny new widget sometimes, but not having the debt and interest on said debt hanging over your head more than makes up for it! 👍🏼

[@MarkkuHyle]

Good job everyone. So as always renovation can grow bigger like your now. Keep up the good work , God bless you all. Have a nice weekend

[@mindi.m]

Elijah: "hey, this is our bedroom and I helped remodel it!" Also: "this is our bathroom, I pulled out the old tub" This is very satisfying to watch. I know you have to keep the yellow yuck, but at least you are putting it all back better!

[@sonniecampbell1788]

BRAVO NO DEBT! And I’m so impressed with your son. The skills he’s learning at such young age - wow. Impressive! Cannot wait for next installment.

[@angelacross2216]

Mission creep, the story of my life.

[@maggiesue4825]

I do so enjoy seeing your oldest boy working with Dad and Mom! Your youngest will soon be in there, too!

[@admg1718]

I am a single mom of two boys who just bought my first house, a 1978 single wide which I am remodeling from the bones up by myself. The project creep is exactly what is happening and I’m so happy to have a super accurate term for it now. I am very thankful for finding these videos and have really enjoyed listening and learning from your experiences as I’m actively going through them. Can’t wait to see how it turns out 💜

[@tammynorris3093]

Your chosen way of life is a wonderful example for one to follow and be encouraged by. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

[@tblair1642]

I was smiling while watching, been there - done that!

[@traceycallard7193]

Gooooo Elijah! Fantastic job ☺️ So looking forward to seeing yours and your brother’s new room. Love watching your channel Sam and Angela 🇬🇧

[@brendachristian-miller2157]

Can't wait to see it all come together. You three are such great workers. Great job.

[@dircia7754]

Great parenting Elijah seems to love the work. Can’t wait to see the finished product.❤️

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

Hope you plan to replace ALL the polybutylene piping in the mobile home soon! That should be a priority.

[@JohnnyUmphress]

100 percent agree with you. No debt is the way to go. Especially in the country's state of affairs now. It's the family that makes a home, not a big fancy house.

[@charlotteforrester3118]

It is going to look amazing when y’all are done! I enjoy watching y’all. It is entertaining as well as informative! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@meganrasey4377]

Y'all are great. Wish we were neighbors. We are new to being home owners and we're inspired by and learning from y'all, a lot. You're REAL people, which is most encouraging.

[@mickmac1948]

Hi Sam and Angela ive just discovered your channel i am from yorkshire in england and as you may know we are on lockdown over here due to the pandemic i have to say you two keep me entertained every time i watch one of your videos so down to earth and you get all your jobs completed as a team keep up the good work youll get there in the end best wishes from over here in yorkshire

[@maryallen6334]

I love demo; mine or someone else's. This is so exciting; waiting for the next installment impatiently!

[@dougpeterson5257]

I agree that debt is a heavy load to carry. I just completed a project that had some creep so I understand it completely.

[@b.powell3480]

Hi guys! What fun you all are having, not to mention the price $$$$$ of lumber and plywood! Yikes! Project creep is frustrating, having to move mechanicals, plumbing, electrical etc!! Don't give up, you're all doing a great job. Kitchen turned out great!

[@D1schram]

Good little helper that son of yours. You must be extremely proud of him.

[@dianagaylord979]

Awesome work you three..!!!... Love watching your home renovations..

[@itsmehattie9493]

I love your family. I live in a 1966 mobile home. A grandmaw, With add on’s and no insulation in Michigan. I really enjoy watching you guys adding true life experiences. Love your son. You’re teaching him to be a true man like his daddy. He’s a tough lil dude. Can’t wait for the next video. On my search to find a handyman. 🤗

[@lauriegertenbach3421]

You both are so smart not going into debt and fixing what you have. It truly is a very good feeling knowing that you don't owe much. My husband and I, after many years of only being able to pay the minimum on things decided to turn things around and only get what we could pay cash for. It's so awesome to have a home that is paid for, and no credit card debt...❤

[@Marylmac]

Project creep! Love it. I live in Hungary on 2,000 sq ft, in a 102 year old mud brick house. There are 3 still standing outside buildings and one other big one, the big barn, has collapsed...all mud bricks...Am finding project creep is a natural thing here for these old homes. 3 lights, one power point, no internal water, an outside dunny...that collapsed when the barn fell in from the central roof beam giving up. So, it is a never ending source of wonderment for me. Getting one job done...which then leads to 2 more, which then grows to 4 and it keeps multiplying! I read my old to do lists, and laugh, as some jobs were really mouse super highways too. The old composite wooden floor, just like the stuff you pulled up, was laid in 1986...but from 1919, when the house was built, until 1986...it was a dirt floor...and when we pulled up the hollow floor...no joists etc...only a 2 x2 piece of wood every 3 feet for support. We scraped out the sand fill and found the original dirt floor, still with the body oils skin on it. I went to school in Australia with my friend who had the same dirt floor and the oil from people's feet, makes a skin over the dirt, over time. It was a step back in time, for sure. The growing project creep, is a full on race here!

[@cindyjohnson5242]

Good job! I get it! If you can do it, do it, do it and make it right. You are doing it better than what t he manufacturer does. No short cuts.

[@crinkle2649]

I love that you are letting him help and teaching him how to use the tools.

[@lindacruikshank2656]

It's going to look so much better. Great job

[@plddc614]

Debt free is ALWAYS the BEST option! Good for you!

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

I'm laughing so hard. When I re-did my bath on my channel, I had a huge mouse nest too. It had all kinds of fake flowers in it. It was kinda cute but glad it's gone! Gave me the heebie jeebies. I agree with Angela about being mortgage free. Yay!!!

[@ftwtexasstephens9629]

Yay Elijah! What a n amazing Carpenter in the making!

[@peggymohr7899]

Great family working together will and does accomplish miracles. Looking forward to the next video. Where is the other boy during this time?

[@annnicholls7585]

I am enjoying your renovation! Project creep is a fact of life so things get done in the best order. Elijah did very well and obviously enjoys demo and construction!
