It's Not Ready - Update on the New Building

[@twillbdone3273]

I find you 'jump' to things that need to get done now. You need storage now. Simply common sense and of the folks that are annoyed or don't get that...well, they may have other under lying issues. We are along for the ride. And I appreciate it. While I watch you it's a good time for me to make out a short list of today todo's. When the ride is no longer appealing, get off. It's my thought that most of us wish we had your energy, drive and vision.

[@diyfferent]

Yeah, people have been getting really weird lately about "finishing things". I don't get it. We need a storage building so that we can protect our tools and clear off our porches so we can finish our home. Everything works together. This is all part of finishing the projects. But some people have just become needlessly angry and impatient. We just do what we can and we're personally really happy with everything that we have gotten done so far.

[@pamboone6921]

Hi Family, Oh yeah I would have removed the bathroom also, good call! It’s gonna be a phenomenal work/storage shop. I don’t know why anyone would care if y’all jump around on projects, I’d watch ya if you split wood, or swept all day. As talented you are, you make everything interesting. I’m Here to back you up no matter what ya do! Stay safe, and God Bless ❤ Hi Belle and Maverick 😘 So glad the storms are passed and you guys are doing good!

[@yavrum22]

💯 I completely agree 👍🙋‍♀️

[@diyfferent]

Thank you , we appreciate it. We're so tired of the negativity that people bring. We know it's getting to be that season, but we are people too. The kind words mean a lot to us.

[@MWilliamsVTGrrrl]

It's ALL interesting, Doug! Only the people who don't leave the comfort of their living room or have OCD complain about jumping from project to project. It's just the reality of logistics when you build and create ✨️ Love you guys!

[@jemreandeau3583]

The hutch looks great in there. The bathroom area for storage is a smart move. Go ahead and jump around from project to project, whatever makes you happy. I love what ever you all do. Evee got a good chuckle out of the toilet removal, 😅. ❤

[@archib3692]

Doug......."It;s degrading." Eevee laughing in the background. That was funny!

[@dianaregan6698]

Why on earth does it bother people as to which projects gets done??? Each project gets done as you need it. A monkey wrench is thrown in life and we take care of it as needed. You’re doing great for your family and that’s what counts. I’m hoping that hurricane Milton didn’t cause any problems for you. My heart aches for all those affected by it. Such devastation. Blessings to your family. Keep up the good work. 🤗❤️

[@diyfferent]

Thank you. Yeah, we have no idea. It seems like people have changed. People are generally becoming more and more critical, more impatient, and more unappreciative.

[@anitastamm7350]

​@diyfferent Please don't give an ounce of concern to the criticism!!!! Just keep on being YOU!! I adore your precious family!! I watch both channels and I love your timing on all of your projects!! You know exactly what you need to do and you can do whatever you want, whenever you want!! 💯 fine by me!!!! Eevee, you had me laughing so hard!!!

[@vahneb7260]

I am always working on several projects at a time. I get so bored just doing one thing. It’s also a great reset and gives you a fresh look at what you’re doing. As always be well, be blessed ❤

[@imaginethat2003]

I'm like that too.

[@diyfferent]

For us, it's mostly just doing what we can in the moment. We have obstacles to work around and do our best to just keep moving forward in some way.

[@ruthhart1576]

I have been watching you for a few years now and I have never been bored or disappointed about anything you post. I always wanted to comment but never have because I read all the other comments and someone else has already said what I would have said. I do remember thinking while in Michigan (I think) that Evee (Ashley at that time was all we knew) was not very happy in the later months before you just up and moved to Florida. (I was born and raised in Florida but live in North Carolina now) She has seemed so contented and Happy where you are now and that makes me happy too! By the way I am almost 77 years old and have a lot of spare time on my hands so keep the videos coming and I'll definitely keep watching and enjoying. Your children are so well mannered and they seem very happy too. God bless your family. ❤

[@mariehall9514]

Please take care of your backs. You’re just one injury away from disability. I’m a nurse whose worked my whole career in critical care and I have seen so many back injuries. I just care about y’all

[@sharoncochran8508]

Amen! I fell while hiking in 2004 and messed up my back. It altered the course of my life.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Amen. My do everything yourself hubby now has zero cushion between any disc in his back and undergoing his 3rd nerve ablation and pain shots. He's still in unbearable pain. All from heavy home lifting.

[@AussieFIag]

Once you have a bad back injury, it affects you for life. 😔

[@Zombie-adventures]

Agreed. It’s hard to imagine when you’re young and strong, but it’s true. ❤️

[@AussieFIag]

​@Zombie-adventures Yes, when we are young, we think we are invincible.

[@tranquility1967]

I am a Ok with you jumping to whatever project you want/need at the time. I enjoy watching all of your ideas and projects. The haters can just remember the golden rule!

[@JadeDragon407]

Amen Tranquility. 💚💚 This isn't a TV show like "This Old House" but their actual real life; I think some forget that LOL.

[@jacquicoder7160]

It is the variety of things that you do that keeps us watching. You never get boring. You really need storage space right now so it is not a problem at all to me that you are leaving other things unfinished. I know you will get back to the mobile home and other projects when you have more important things done. I agree with you that you don't need a bathroom in your storage shed. You've made some good progress and we look forward to seeing you continue with the demolition.

[@lornawatkins8495]

Hey Doug, I can never say that I’m bored with your videos. Crazy twists and turns 😂. I’ve watched you for many years and never disappointed.

[@mac-be2me]

This will be a nice space for both of you to create in, make it yours , make it special and have fun doing it !

[@boredpeanutbutter75]

Speaking of jumping from project to project, I'm not saying this is why you do it. But for me, as an artist who paints and someone who also writes, because I love detail in both genres I will be hit with sudden inspiration, and I know exactly what I want to accomplish. So I'll go very strong on whatever I'm working on and I won't quit until I've reached a satisfactory point where I've basically reached my initial goal thus far. Even though I'm, in no way giving up on the project, I've at least accomplished enough at that point that I'm comfortable with stepping back and taking a break for a while. I then begin working on a different project. Because it's the one that is currently exciting and feels new and fresh. After a while, the original project seems new and fresh again, so, I return to it with new inspiration, and eventually finish it. It always turns out much better than I had initially anticipated because I won't touch a project without feeling inspired. Inspiration is something you can't force. It's way too late for this but, in short, jumping from project to project happens and regardless of the reason people do so, each one knows what's best in their own case. ( I told you I like, detail 😊) Anyway, this was a fun video! It gives us an opportunity to see how you handle each project,---what you would do the same vs what you would choose to do differently. Take care! See you guys in the next video. Bye 👋 Hi kids!👋 Bye kids! 👋 Have fun!

[@alirumba1]

I used to sell those eemax heaters. I do believe you can still get the elements for them so if it were me I would keep it for something down the road, you just never know. I've been following you guys since the trailer reno when you were up north, keep up the good work you guys rock. Love from Memphis.

[@diyfferent]

Thank you, the support means a lot to us..

[@debbievogt9881]

As long as your uploading videos for me to watch you ma do anything yall want

[@68paulak]

This mobile office seems to be working out for your needs. Glad you found it at the right time.😊

[@marciawoods3270]

You two know exactly when and what to do first for your Family. I love watching every video you post no matter what you’re doing. You are working very hard to do what is best for you and I as a viewer admire your dedication, determination and keeping it exciting for you all. I have followed your channel for several years now and love it. My only concern is you lift such heavy things it scares me for your well being. Love this Family. ❤

[@vickymcdonald1088]

I'm glad you guys are all right. You guys sure are working hard. Great job guys.

[@katiedid713926]

You never do anything boring Never. I love your videos!

[@WeeMo33]

💯 agree👍❤️

[@diyfferent]

Thank you!

[@maryw7951]

Flower pot!! Love it!! Many years ago my grandfather was replacing their toilet. He set it in the front yard for the time being. One of his neighbors, who always had issues with everyone, had said something to him. He told him it was his new flower pot!! So that made the neighbor mad!! He got some dirt and flowers and planted them in the toilet!! Thanks for the laugh!!!

[@sharonsardeson7992]

Yay.......a new video! So happy to have you back and that you all weathered the recent storms. Yes, removing the bathroom... gives you more storage options....bathroom was wasted space to me also. You always have good plans and I have no doubt it will all be so useful for you in the longrun. The toilet walk was a hoot too! 😂

[@lynnew5619]

The storage building will be a great addition for you. Nothing worse than trying to work in a cramped space. 👍❤

[@hanaaa6394]

I have been praying for all of you in Florida! Good to see you again.

[@jagodaszubert2404]

I think your new work shop is fantastic! 😊 There’s loads of potential 👏

[@oliviafox3605]

Loved the sound of Ashley"s laughter. Thank you for sharing.

[@debramackinnon8094]

Hey Doug and Eevee! Love watching you work. That is a nice size of space there. Thanks for sharing. Hugs to all of you and pats for the cat. Keep. Doing. You!!🌻🌵🍄🎶🎶

[@MarshaChalupa]

Doug I can tell by the way you explain things that your heart and sole are in everything you do!

[@carolyncarlson3825]

Evee it so wonderful to hear you laughing. It brought joy to my soul.....❤ hugs

[@RosemaryBlantonCrosslin]

I love how y'all talk and laugh and discuss things

[@juliemccarthy2081]

Going to make a great workshop, glad your stripping it out, wouldn't have known that those ants were there, need a nice clean safe space to work in 😊

[@private15]

Those bathroom grab bars would make great tool brackets for hanging wood clamps or some such tools.

[@shadedflower9530]

You know, guys, the outdoor shower/composting toilet idea is so exciting! Maybe eventually, you could do some type of water catchment system to run the shower off of. I love everything that's happening at your place! ❤🙏

[@patriciasiefert7140]

I love watching anything you do! Never boring!

[@stellaunger8568]

What a great find- the new shed building. Congratulations. I love watching your channel, never a dull moment! ❤️😁

[@diyfferent]

Thanks!

[@vrf]

I'm glad you made it through both the hurricanes safely 👌👍

[@marafarnham595]

You never stop surprising us with the different projects! Can't wait to see how this turns out! Much love to everyone 🤗❤😊

[@lindaroyal8161]

I appreciate the explanation of the bathroom. It makes more sense to have one outside, being in Florida and all the outdoor living. That's a nice building for a workshop. The sooner it's organized and set up, the sooner you can get back to other areas.

[@sylviac2631]

Doug, you're our favorite demo man! You just tear into like a tiger! Fun to watch. I love the variety of your channel! Hi Eevee and kids.

[@nualarosth8448]

Doug life happens, we do what we have to do when it needs to be done. It will be so satisfying for you when you have everything organised in the new space ❤

[@valerieb8006]

i'm delighted that you have such a spacious building for storage and work space! I would remove the bathroom as well. the outdoor shower/ compost toilet plan is awesome!

[@CC-Rider4564]

What did that sticker say ? Danger: The Turds in this toilet 🚽 are explosive 🧨 & toxic ? 😂🤣 I'm sorry guys but I busted a gut laughing 😂 uncontrollably when I saw that Danger sticker on the toilet 🚽 seat & lid 😂🤣. And Ashley had already got me laughing saying Doug was doing the toilet wobble carrying the toilet 🚽 & the Danger sticker just got me laughing so hard 😂🤣

[@paulmoy9736]

So glad to see you are all ok after the recent bad storms and you can get on with your projects.

[@Hollybank5]

You and Eevee work so hard ! You amaze me ❤ Will you use protective clothing to remove the walls .. or treat for the ants first ? 🐜 Can you burn that ? I’m sorry you lost your trailer shop, but this new building has so much room . With good organization , you have room to spare ! Your plans for an outdoor shower sound great !!! What ever you guys decide to work on at any given time-- I am enjoying watching your journey. ❤

[@amalias8888]

I agree with you it's exciting to change up projects. All the work you do is interesting.

[@wandaking4229]

Wow look at all the light. It was always so dark in your workshop. Great job.

[@genevasizemore5692]

Never a dull moment with you and Ashley.. LOL.. Love your alls video’s

[@sharonhagen6362]

Great idea!! Great place to start as you relocate your tools and building supplies!!

[@jimdelong949]

Doug You made the right choice on gutting the restroom. It has its purpose when the shed was an office. It doesn't now I'm glad you were able to quickly get a storage solution so fast . It's always fun watching Doug do things that make Evie laugh 😊

[@bradsexton7295]

Like it so far. Glad you all survived the storm.

[@Shuggysmama]

I love the content and spontaneity of your channel. It's never boring and always wholesome and interesting. Thank you for allowing us in.❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@2winlock]

I have never seen such a small tankless water heater before. That’s pretty nifty for what its purpose was for. I know you two will utilize this bathroom space wonderfully.

[@galady8632]

@stefanboster5728 - In a previous house I had a similar thankless water heater near the kitchen sink. It was great for hot tea, hot cocoa, instant oatmeal, etc. I will probably add one in my next house. Very convenient, no heating the kitchen, no microwave beeps, etc. I do not need a pot-filler over the cook surface but hot water on-demand was more useful than I ever imagined.

[@WakeUp01949]

Happy to see you are all safe and well. I am especially glad to see that beautiful tool cabinet is back into a safe place.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I’m excited to see how you use this new building. What a great start to fixing it up. 😊😊😊

[@rose-g3l]

Well done ! Removing the toilett is very good for healthy and higienic live

[@Debora-bc2hg]

You all are always going forward no matter what you are working on.🌻🐩🌴

[@melanieeaton3344]

I think the storage building is a great idea! Blessings from Oregon.

[@trabob4438]

You guys are awesome and showing young people that with some hard work and dedication you can do anything.

[@denisebennett3144]

I love watching you demolish stuff. Got to say, for a disused toilet that was the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. Great job.

[@angellove36301]

Some poeple may say you jump around to much I say it never gets boring because you never know what yall will be doing next. There are some youtube creators that drag it out and you just get tried of the same old thing

[@lindacarruthers3423]

You two look great . This is setting you on fire. The idea of the improvement to your work and living that this will provide is inspiring. A designated storage space will be brilliant ,and a place for Eevee to spread out and achieve and create will be so wonderful.Your brains must be buzzing with ideas. ❤❤

[@joshdavenport5787]

Love the variety of projects. It keeps the channel unpredictable

[@rhythmicentity0704]

Ohh you guys should add a Rollup service door!! Help load in big and larger projects.

[@damogranheart5521]

A walk-in storage closet! That should be a huge blessing to all of your efforts! It is fantastic to know exactly where everything is!

[@margaretvargas1209]

I'm happy you guys made it through Milton. ❤❤❤❤

[@clydenicholson757]

I really enjoy all your videos I live in upstate ny im a carpenter by trade for 35+ years i have learned from your videos

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Nice place to store tools and possibly a She Shed area....alright! Sounds like a very creative place!

[@sarahbrewer8945]

That room would make the perfect dark room for Eevee with her love of photography.

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

An outdoor shower is a great idea!!!!!! When we built our home here in Florida, we put a shower on the outside of the cabana bath because when we worked in the yard we could shower off and not track dirt into the house. Watching you ( waddle the toilet ) outside made me laugh so hard and right now here in Florida cleaning up after 2 hurricanes and all the tornadoes in my area I needed that. So happy you have another solution for a work shop.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@barbaratankersley7117]

Hi guys Thank you for sharing Tell Bell and Maverick hi Take care GOD BLESS you and your family

[@kimberleykelly-street1285]

How exciting guys you are so into it, inspiring awesome ❤ and peace from Australia 🇦🇺

[@sharonrobledo136]

I sure will stick around for the rest of the demo. I really like demo

[@americawaters4257]

I'm so happy for you. That's so much better for you to have for storage and projects.

[@carriesing]

When you get around to that composting toilet be sure you read Joe Jenkins book The Humanure Handbook. It’s great. That part of my fantasy plan for my house in the future, lol.

[@RosemaryBlantonCrosslin]

I agree about the 🚿🛁 bathroom.. y'all don't need it love your workshop/ evea shop

[@dabailey1000]

Okay. I got to admit I couldn’t contain myself when Doug carried the toilet out. 😂😂😂

[@rbirkheimer59]

Cool beans guys! I'm along for the ride. Get some rest ya gonna need it. God Bless, Love, Granny. Hi Kiddos !

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

I so glad you have a storage!!!

[@TheTlangdon]

I have lots of jobs I need to do at my house. I work on whatever I feel like when I feel like it. Totally up to you whatever you decide to do.

[@ericjohnson1008]

Great job getting things started on the new storage shed. It'll be exciting to see it come together.

[@catbrat610]

Great!!! So happy you guys got a sturdy building. Oh how I would love to have a room for my sewing/craft stuff.

[@kayriggleman5196]

Thrilled to see you today. Been checking for a video. Smart move with gutting the bathroom.

[@stevenmoomey2115]

I’d do a Light rebuild on the Bathroom with a low water use toilet. Get some 55 Gallon Plastic Drums, hook a Foot Air Pump to them. That way you have a useable toilet in your shop. It can be an emergency toilet, during an extended power outage, or a well failure.

[@kathleenoverton3263]

He says they are planning an outdoor shower along with a composting toilet. Their yard isn’t huge so walking out of this workshop into the outdoor bathroom isn’t the next county over. They ll be just fine with their idea of where they want their bathroom to be.

[@Jo.H.]

Hi Eevee and Doug, good start on your storage space. Nice size and be so useful

[@janemj3467]

Looks fabulous, happy its coming together for you guys ❤

[@buggybuilderswife3970]

We had a tree fall on our cargo trailer in a hurricane in 2004. My husband got replacement panels from the manufacturer. He fashioned the roof truss out of wood and used wood for the side support also. We used it for years. Finally sold it in 2021.

[@kayhenry6293]

Wow! That’s an incredible amount of real estate. It’s going to be fun to watch you put it together.

[@twillbdone3273]

I love to plant toilets. It lends itself so well. Thriller, filler and spiller in the top. Then a filler and spiller in the bottom. The toilet 'planter' can be anchored by the holes in the base. Then selectively planted outside the toilet. Really fun if it's a colored toilet. And if you are so inclined so easy to add a drip system to it.

[@elsacruz6124]

I get bored easily so l jump around when doing my crocheting..seems like you guys have more space.😊

[@Robin-tr5me]

Putting in a utility sink would be a great idea for crafts and clean up as you work

[@diyfferent]

We don't plan on doing anything messy like that out there. And it's not worth it to have to run buried water lines out to the building. But I can see that being nice in some situations.

[@maryharman4742]

Is there anything you guys can’t do, I loved the toilet walk. It is always a surprise to see what you are up to. Thanks for taking us along.

[@peggymcthompson261]

Great out of the box thinking. But that is no surprise you guys always have your thinking cap on.

[@Albert-bo7rr]

🤣🤣🤣 the degrading toilet waddle 😅 you two crack me up😂👍🤙💆

[@tdamron4185]

THAT was MY favorite line too 😂😂😂😂

[@AB-83]

Love this new project!

[@dragonflyneb8212]

I laughed so hard when you showed the toilet seat. I think you made the right choice it well be extra space, that is a big room.

[@lindawatson8795]

I agree completely with what you’re saying!!!!

[@debbiealtman5373]

Great job.

[@bevjane7245]

Absolutely time to prepare new trailer for necessary storage ... a must do seeing the shop/storage trailer got crushed. You two have always finished things! Love the eventual plan for outdoor shower and composting toilet. I have taken out a couple toilets in my time but I always have to remove tank because the two pieces together are too heavy for me to lift, even back when I was much stronger.

[@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132]

It’s great to see that hutch wasn’t damaged when you lost the original workshop. That was sooo fortunate.😊What you’re saying about the vinyl coating on the wall, is exactly why I would never consider buying a house covered in brand new (or old) vinyl siding. There was a reason the owners covered it up…and you never truly know the reason…mold, termites, electrical burn marks, etc? Until it’s too late. Legally you’re supposed reveal that, but that only keeps HONEST people honest. Because of the below comment, I do understand. I’m only saying, regardless of the scenario, I agree with you that walls covered in plastic can harbor exactly what you found.

[@susandonnell5019]

It's being used as a tool box!!

[@SandraRhea-i8e]

I think it’s great. You’ll be happy to have everything organized. It sure makes doing a project easier when you don’t have to chase everything down.

[@pattycarosi9618]

Great job Doug and Eevee. I know you will make this a nice place for storage and many other ideas. I can't wait to see what all you do with this storage building. You both work so hard. Your work is always great. Take Care and see you all in the next video. 🙏🙏♥️🌴
