IT'S FINISHED: Making a House a Home - Episode 11

[@amystaahs2118]

Researching where someone lives based on an image of the front of their house is creepy. I don't know why anyone would think that would be okay.

[@bethanychristensen7462]

I love that you’re not putting a tv in the living room! Such a great idea. And I am LOVING the archways!

[@HaileyDevine]

Bethany Christensen Can’t wait to have you over!!! ❤️👏🏼

[@IzHarris]

That's it. I'M PACKING UP MY HOUSE AND MOVING 😂 - this is beyond beautiful! so so so excited for you guys.

[@HaileyDevine]

Thanks Iz!! Congrats on time square! 🤩

[@theresaw9167]

Yes, safety first! I appreciate you sharing your journey and completely understand and support you carefully choosing how much and what to share!

[@ninawilson1035]

I think you should absolutely keep the two story lil moment in the basement! Even if its tiny the girls will crawl all around up there and it will be magical!

[@Sofuchiss]

I think you should keep the ledge in the play area under the stairs as long as there’s enough headspace for the girl to sit upright. You can maybe add a bookshelf or something to make it a little reading nook for them!

[@katiewilliams6193]

I say keep the ledge for the tree house part, the girls are still small enough that it could be really fun

[@jessicasievers3213]

The framing is the fastest part, all the rest of the house takes forever! Especially when you are waiting on things like cabinets!

[@Jordannnn23]

Can’t wait to see it finished! I’m surprised there aren’t more windows to bring in the natural light and admire that beautiful view!

[@HaileyDevine]

Thank you!! We put as many windows as we could without that side of our house being a giant glass wall 🤣👏🏼

[@breighbell]

I say put the shelf in the little under the stair playroom anyway, so Greta and Lucy can sit up there or something and then one day when they don’t play in there as much anymore you can use the shelf for more storage

[@HaileyDevine]

Breigh Williams Brilliant!!

[@jacquiwilliams6849]

Those mountain views are framed so perfectly!! 😍😍

[@HaileyDevine]

Jacqui Williams Thank you!! We are so excited!

[@tinafowler3794]

Definitely leave the livingroom area open like you have it already. Do you have a door to close off the laundry room? What about moving the "under the stairs play house" under the upstairs stairs instead of the basement stairs? Also I absolutely love love love the archways!! I'm definitely stealing that idea for our build lol

[@anweko93]

it so nice to have phones that remember to pick up kids, when parents don't THE HOUSE LOOKS AMAZING GUYS! Love it!

[@mirandasmorrissey]

Okay but can we talk about that VIEW😍 I can’t imagine waking up every day to see those mountains! Can’t wait to see everything finished🥰

[@glynisrogers3323]

My daughter's bedroom has a raised area with a ladder. When she was little she could stand up in it. Then later she would crawl up and sit. For awhile we put her mattress up in it so she had her whole room. Now she is in college and she uses it for storage. The purpose of that space will change, but you will love having the memories of them being little and playing in it. Also, no worries about the weather. Our house in WA was built in one of the rainiest towns in our state and it worked out fine. There were literally puddles of standing water. Breathe. It's all good. Enjoy this exciting time!

[@laurabl890]

My dad actually built our house and I loooved the process this brings back so much memories thanks for sharing!

[@alauraguin3237]

I think the little ledge in the playroom would be fine! The girls are small enough they’ll fit for a while, and you can just make it all nice and cozy with some pillows and blankets. And those archways look gorgeous!!

[@melissaandreag]

Okay I totally remember you sharing the front of your home and it was the cutest thing! I tried finding pictures of it again for inspiration but couldn’t find a single one. Makes sense you took them down if people are SHOWING UP TO YOUR HOUSE 😯😯😯 That’s so strange of people.

[@TheWallaceReboot]

It's so fun to see both of your gratitude and pure excitement as this beautiful home is being built. We are just so happy for your sweet family. 💓

[@menashammas8392]

Loving this series!! How many bedrooms does your new house have?

[@GoodandDelicious]

I love that huge archway because it kind a looks like it used to be separated but then you added the arch to make it more of an open space. Or I guess you could say it’s like an open space but with slight division.

[@vklaus8702]

OMG, your basement is bigger than our entire apartment. :) It may be somekind compulsive that North Americans always want it bigger and bigger, so this happens in Germany as well, but actually takes so much time and space in someone's life taking care of a big house with all the stuff inside, driving a lot in the car because urban sprawl makes it impossible to keep distances short and so on. Nonetheless building a house is so exciting and I love to watch yours becoming a home anyways. Wish you all the best for this journey

[@madisonashleyyy]

My parents built a home and I feel like the framing is the fastest part and after that it feels like it takes forever especially towards the end because it’s such small things where you don’t notice a big difference. So excited to see your home though I hope they move fast! 💕

[@katlinp8191]

I think for the under the stairs room, even if its not tall enough to be super useful for the kids, you could still store things up there! Also, be careful during the driving clips so the neighbor houses are not visible either : )

[@HaileyDevine]

Katlin P Good idea!! And thanks for the heads up - didn’t really think about the neighboring houses 🥴

[@misserin3750]

Why would someone ever come to someone’s house uninvited that’s so weird! 😳

[@HaileyDevine]

Misserin It got sooooo out of hand. Thanks for being so understanding!

[@jessicabentrude1571]

@@HaileyDevine So creepy!!!!!!

[@mdono894]

This house is absolutely gorgeous!! Love the archways❤️

[@HaileyDevine]

m dono Thank you!!!

[@tribebychar]

Oh my gosh it looks lovely, the archways are so cool. Sorry to hear about the creepers! I can't imagine going through that!

[@TinhNhi]

After framing then it will comes with electrical part. That's only took 2 weeks or more for us. So end of Feb sounds about right for me.

[@MarynSommerfeldt]

Your view is GORGEOUS! Holy heck, the mountains are in your backyard!!!

[@TessiWood]

I love the archways! It’s going to be beautiful! Excited for you!

[@leamuntener3091]

I’ve missed the series! And I’m sooo excited to see the updates!

[@jasminethompson3637]

love how excited you guys are !! I'm so happy for yall

[@elenarichardson9201]

In the kids play room under the stairs I reckon it’s still doable to have a ledge, just perhaps lower that down further than originally planned x

[@AshleyLudlow]

Little kids love small spaces! I say do the double decker play house.

[@gloriacook7795]

Some houses they construct in three months or more when my parents built in the early fifties it took 9mo . They built houses so fast now it frightens me .

[@CatherineDosek]

Oh my gosh, this is sooo exciting!! This is going to be the most BEAUTIFUL house ever!! Every detail is my taste so I was excitedly talking to myself the whole time. Love the arches. 😍🥰🥰🥰I have to go play the Sims. Like right now.

[@nathaliak4560]

Love this Family sooo much 😍😍😍😍

[@ethanthresher]

I’m so stoked for you guys! I can’t wait to see the archways finished🙌🏼

[@vanessamercado4960]

How exciting. I’m so happy for you guys can’t wait how it all turns out!!

[@leticalderon9521]

AHHH this is so exciting!! I love, love, love it! Also, it's okay not to share the exterior! Do I want to see it? Yeah, sure. But I totally understand why you wouldn't based on your past experiences. Your family privacy & security is priority

[@duartemonteiro7463]

This is going to be your nest your crib. I imagin how you are excited and nervous about how it's going to be, wen you are going to decorete the house and so many others things you have to do. It's going to be perfect! 😊👌 I'm sorry for getting out of the chat but it's raining a lot here and I had to do a dam in the entrance gate for the water. The fire man's were here to make sure the water flows in the flowing pipes. Was like a movie! 😂

[@eileenrodriguez6617]

We've bought 2 preconstruction homes and 1 was late by a month and the second was about 2 weeks off....guys it just depends.

[@takingback9]

It's never the first finish date 😅 from framing to move in was like 5 months... We couldn't get an electrician cause he was so busy, and same with the siding guys. It took like 7 months for our house and it's like the fraction of the size of yours haha

[@aliciamelendi]

The view from your house of those mountains 😍😍

[@linziehoffmann8148]

We built a house in Utah two years ago, and the framing was by far the fastest part. The rest of it took quite a long tine to complete, and we moved in three months after what we were originally told. Of course every build is different, but I would expect it to be later than February (just my guess!)

[@haleybriseno1417]

It’s so beautiful you guys! I love it! And what a view! Will you get to keep that view or will other stuff go up eventually?

[@ChicHulaGirl86]

YAAAYEEE!!! This is he episode I’ve been so excited for!!! Haha!

[@dudestransformation]

Safety first! Just a thought... I believe you mentioned that you’re building in an HOA, if possible I would inquire if they would ever consider making the neighborhood a private gated community? People stocking you out is super weird.

[@shriyabengeri4738]

Oh Daaaaammmn.. I cannot wait to see this episode. 😍😍😍

[@ladybird5000]

wow the view is stunning!! can't wait to see the house when its all done

[@Mskayteelee]

This is getting great. Love this

[@GoodandDelicious]

I know it sounds creepy, but I love knowing and learning about we KZbinrs live. It’s not about being a stocker, it’s just I love real estate. But I would never in my life show up at a person’s door and I don’t understand that mentality. How dare they?! EDIT: I should clarify that I don’t mean knowing your address, just the general area. And I’m only ever interested in the actual house when it’s a place where I can’t imagine how it would look like on the outside. Mostly because the architecture is so unique.

[@regannguyen7563]

So so excited for you guys!

[@xpatzy]

Beautiful!!!

[@GoodandDelicious]

Maybe give the laundry room one of those doors that you can push open and close?

[@kjckaestle4]

Do a tiny climbing wall in the under stairs area instead. :)

[@rondoflicflac]

And so happy for you! And yes, safety first ;)

[@Wholesomelivingg]

I know finances is very personal, but would y’all be willing to share how much the whole experience is costing building a personalized home/forever home? Have y’all be saving for years to make it happen? Please share your tips and tricks to save for your forever home!

[@shotbyagmedia8910]

Amazing!!

[@learningwithmslizz]

AHHHHH DREAM HOME

[@iloveschmecky]

Don't show the front.. I know it'll be soo hard not too! but look at so many you tubers that have had to move because of it! you want to be able to stay there as long as YOU want too

[@iloveschmecky]

and even be careful about showing across the street/ neighbouring houses

[@lolalayne6844]

I would LOVE to see the outside of your house, but I get it. Maybe you’ll feel like posting some up close pics of outside details so we can see how you used your inspiration!?

[@lolalayne6844]

Btw it looks beautiful! Congrats!

[@truittbriggs]

Could you show us the outside of a similar house or tell us the style like colonial, craftsman, etc. Just so we could get a feel for the type of house?Totally understand if you don’t want to but I just thought I would ask.

[@abbymarie411]

Sooo excited!!

Sorry for the curiosity but what has helped you economically to be able to have a new home construction? Has it been KZbin and other social media work?
