TRYING TO "FINISH" THE KITCHEN BEFORE WE CLOSE ON THE HOUSE!

So, the house is already sold and the buyer is chill with the kitchen being unfinished BUT it turns out we still need to install counters and cabinets or we can't close on the house!

Although you are leaving the house unfinished, there are so many things you've done that really improved the house (new roof, expansion, crawl space, etc). Some of those projects are not as visible as a new kitchen, but at least now the new owner doesn't have to worry about the bones of the house.

[@karenhurd9792]

At least it won't be getting torn down, and it will be loved by the new owner. It IS a cool house!

[@sjayne27]

The Jingle Bells music was an interesting choice for the dishwasher install. 😂👍🏻

[@JoyElrod]

I was confused when I heard Jingle Bells playing...kind of like when you drive by a house in July and see Christmas lights up and on...Anyway, gave me a good chuckle 😊

[@KnorppandSouth11]

It’s because it was like Christmas morning for Mike!

[@sjayne27]

@@KnorppandSouth11 , nice! Hopefully you guys can have a dishwasher in your new place!

[@danielleparks5084]

Now onto a new house remodel and fun exciting decorating ways

[@debbyschweighardt5810]

This is why I love you guys: You are so spontaneous! You share your emotions along the way. We know that feeling: goodbye beloved house, hello new home. Sending you all virtual hugs from New Jersey!

[@marybethsmarvellouslife4490]

Waiting to hear water running into the dishwasher… riveting 😂😂 LOL Must see TV right here! I’m grinning with excitement for the dishwasher! 🎉🎉 Excellent work, family! 💜

[@lindahansen9395]

I get so excited when i get my notification that the Knorrps have posted a video. I’ll watch it first before all the other ones. Love your family and adventures. It made me laugh when Mike peaked around the counter in the car separating you two.

[@donnapaquette9231]

I thought too that it was hilarious when Mike peaked around the counter in the car 😅

[@zenstitch9972]

Mike, you have come so far with all of your construction journey! and....that DISHWASHER!!!

[@jessicaderstine4061]

Leave a binder!! Paint colors, wood stains, inspiration. Frankly, if i were buying id be thrilled to be able to see the videos about the construction stuff you did!

[@4212white]

I really enjoy watching Mike do his remodeling magic, and Megan helping him along with her vision of decorating. You’ve done a beautiful job on this house so far. And you have the most wonderful kids. They help, they’re happy and don’t mind the adventure of your daily lives. Thanks for sharing.

[@beckyriggs1869]

I just LOVE and ADMIRE you and your family so much! I Love how you embrace EVERY Adventure! Praying for a safe and successful move!❤️🙏❤️

[@vivianwilliams2216]

The counter top and cabinets turned out lovely, and congratulations Mike on the dishwasher installation!!! The dishes are sparkling! Yeah !😄👍💕💕💕

Mike you have really excelled in your wood working skills🤠❤️

[@chriswilson4112]

CLASSIC FUN KNORP video!

[@michellechap792]

Oh my goodness! Our faucet fell apart while our house was under contract too! (Among other things suddenly going wrong, it was SUCH a stressful time for us.) We would joke that the house was revolting because we were leaving. 😂 Such a bummer when you buy something beautiful and find it to not be the quality you were hoping for and expecting. I love how cheerful and excited you are about so much of this process! It would have been so fun if we had been finishing house projects/packing/cleaning with you last year when we were getting ready to move TO North Carolina. I was on KZbin trying to find motivation to declutter and pack. Even still, I watching this almost a year after we were doing a lot of this is still a good opportunity to let a lot of those emotions come up and really process them.

[@pamboone6921]

Aww the kitchen turned out really cute! Christmas music is gonna make me sing or hmmm it all day, thank you 😂😂😂

[@MultiCinderella23]

Looks nice! Jude is sharp to ask the question about treating the area near sink/counter!

[@Yoginidelmar]

Lets have a look at what you could have won! Editing comments and (Christmas) music are so on point. I love that you have kept your humour and positivity throughout this process and for the adventure ahead.

[@gracel3320]

Jude, you are really stepping up, that’s wonderful! Great job! I can’t wait to see where you go in Va! I lived in the Shenandoah Vally for years, had a B&B there. Great views! Love your shows, thank you!

[@justinax333]

I feel like my family and I have always made decision that seem off to others too so I can totally relate!

[@karlalarsen7597]

I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment, but I’m curious to know if the new owner of your home is aware that your entire renovation has been documented on You Tube? I hope she will go back and watch the videos and see all of the love and labor-and all of the great finds-that you have put into this beautiful little home!! 💕

[@kittykooky]

At my ripe age of 64 i have my first dishwasher ever !! Just a slimline one as I'm on my own !! But oh my goodness I wish I had bought one year's ago when I worked full time and my son was still at home. 😁

[@simplyfreedom171]

As a buyer, I think it would be nice to see your visions and inspiration for the home. Even before photos. Keep what you want though too!

[@jackieaudus9829]

Fitting the dish washer to the tune of Jingle bells cheered me up no end. I need a someone like Mike in my life !!! Prayers please 🙏🏼

[@sallyoverton5341]

Poor Mike I hope you are able to get some rest.

[@juliepritchett4533]

I have dated off white laminate countertops and I love the light they reflect, but we do need to do repairs and upgrades, I’ll still want something in a white shade because of the light in my kitchen and island. Great job!

[@allysonmanzaro9485]

This was definitely a bittersweet video to watch. Putting those cabinets in really made your vision come to life. I hope you all love your next place as much as you love this lovely house!

[@chickencoop4439]

I anxiously await your next video. This is fun!

[@donnabanks5958]

We all will miss watching the reconstruction of your beautiful house!! BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT CHAPTER!! I learn so much from you. I love thrifting and you are Queen of doing that! Love to see what you do. FANTASTIC JOB ON THE COTTAGE!! ❤❤❤❤

I am a mom of little kids. I am in my early 30s, I have been watching your videos for the last few years. And this type of thing is exactly why i stick around 😊. The life lessons are amazig. gems . 'It is just a building'. Love it ❤. this, of course is one of many wonderful advices. 😊

I have white laminate countertops. They were here when I moved in twenty years ago and I always planned to replace them but honestly they still look pristine, no scratches or stains.

Thanks for including us in your journey, even tho it seems bittersweet, but necessary. The kitchen looks awesome!💓👏🎊It'll all work out just fine, as you already know it will.

[@ohdeerdesign1387]

I sing sentences too! I was laughing the first 30 seconds of this video! Thank you for that. I'm so glad you guys make me laugh so hard - the whole car situation with the countertop box in between you - LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY! Can't wait to see what is next!

[@JWarfield]

We used the exact same countertops for a temporary run of cabinets in our kitchen, and we are also surprised how nice they are for how affordable they are. Makes such a huge difference!

So excited to see your next adventure! Im very much all about being fun and spontaneous. I would totally buy a one way ticket for my family of 9 and see how the adventure unfolds! Alas, I'm married to a man who loves stability and predictably and never gives in to my wanderlust dreams, and so I live vicariously through u guys! ❤

[@SimplyHavenHomestead]

Oh my goodness. You guys had me dying laughing with your partition in the car! You guys are so fun! I love the idea of the binder! We had someone do that for us on one of our houses, and it was so nice and helpful!!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

The cabinets are perfect for now. They give the new folks time to decide exactly what they want and how they plan to build out the kitchen. I'll bet the lady is squealing over the ovens in the niche....I mean, how many places do you see that. It turned out beautifully. Thanks for taking us along. I am so excited to see your journey for your new property here in Va. I know you won't be in my area, but it is nice to know you're here. Have a Blessed day.

[@sondracampbell8252]

Your videos make me so happy!😊

[@cynthiagawin2991]

Mike is amazing!

[@leem200]

Think the new owner will like decorating it and styling it out as she would want it. She has good bones and all the work you did on the upgrade will pay for itself for them. Bittersweet but new beginnings are always nice too. Peace!

[@loriburgess1866]

The trick I’ve discovered along the way is to not use the suggested amount of detergent. We have begun to use very diluted detergent and the dishes are much cleaner.

[@JodieLeith160]

I loved the Christmas music! Always said I wanted to be a Knorpp! Sending you Blessings and Love!

[@ariananicole711]

We have the same dishwasher that was in our house when we bought it and we had the same reaction after the first load that we finished 😅😅😅. And then at the end of the dry cycle ours actually plays a short little song to let us know it’s done! 😮 gotta love technology

[@peggystein3745]

God bless you mike is amazing with all his skills!!! I just love yall and have bittersweet feelings about you leaving your sweet cottage but i am sure you know what is best.i will be praying for you on the next leg of your journey.

Just remember God has you in his hands and everything will work out great in the end. I look forward to following this next journey. I do have to admit I am sad seeing you leave behind the island. I love my antiques! With all this experience your next place will be easier and quicker.

[@Sue-u6z]

Yiu two are so cute. The board incident in the car was so funny. Mike does dishes too😮😮😮 God broke the mold when He made Mike. I'm sure he has other annoying things. We all do.😂

[@ellielizhavenofbless945]

Is there anything you two can't do?!! My goodness! My heart hurts for you losing your dream kitchen too, but I see you getting an even better dream kitchen in the future! ❤️ I definitely think you should leave a photo of your inspiration!! That's a great idea! And I have a completely irrelevant question haha, years ago, I think when you guys were still traveling, you were listening to a audiobook as a family, about a kid who got his eyes pecked out by a crow and then went on these amazing adventures? We read it too but now I can't remember what it's called. I want to read it again 😊

[@Judymontel]

It is indeed very bittersweet to be leaving so close to seeing so many of your dreams come to fruition, Megan. I am blessing you that your dream of the big range, the range hood and the plates above is able to come true in another way, another place in a way to give your heart great comfort. Hugs!

[@TeresaMom1]

I really got a kick out of it and laughed when Mike peeked around the box in the car. 🤣😂

[@pamelabryan9046]

Always look forward to watching your videos. ❤. Good job Mike!

[@jennifermusgrave6998]

Our dishwasher does the same. It’s funny to watch people walk by it, who doesn’t know it does that. It surprises them every time.😂

Awe, Meagan!😢 You're making me cry! Showing that tenderness of heart nowadays is beautiful. We don't see it enough anymore. God will bless you with a beautiful old world kitchen❤😊❤ He knows exactly what you like😇

[@brettelizabethspore]

Love how fast this came together for you.

[@nsullivan12]

A bittersweet situation. Sometimes it is hard not to "finish" a project, but that is the right thing in this situation. And at the very least, you will get to enjoy a functional kitchen for the last month--which is sure to be hectic and you will appreciate the functionality even more! Btw, you two in the car with the countertop--too funny! 🤣

[@lindaschlegelmilch1632]

You guys are great at making fast decisions!

[@mlm7598]

[@lynnparker3467]

[@michellewebb2125]

I think it's a neat idea to leave your vision board so to speak in a binder for the new owner. And it would be neat if the new owner sent you pics of the finished kitchen with her vision to see how she finalizes it and/or follows through w your inspiration on the stove top built in etc. Its been a labor of love for your whole family, but so will the next home whatever route you go... fixer upper or move in ready with just the fun of personalizing it with your decor and furnishings. Eager to see where life leads the Knorps from here. Where ever it does, may peace, good health, & blessings follow! Love you all!
