I love that grandmother!! "This is my space. They have to knock and see if I allow them...." hahaha!!

[@elemeniah]

My favorite part...... when Grandma jumped on the bed! She’s so cute!!!

[@neriashleycabajar1985]

Yes, but only by the glasses!

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

That was funny, but her monologue at the end is RAD. lol

I love how George adds fun to these jobs but, also how he finds the best of the best for the crew it shows how it went from low bids with low cost products to crews who care about the safety and inhabitants of these homes. 5/5 🌟

I love what grandma said at the end, she's adorable.

[@DeakE2003]

This family is the example the United States needs for love, support, and fun a family should have and be for each other.

[@supernova11491]

Right! Example of good quality programming during times like now! 💛

[@cheekyoziechick]

Ol Grandma is very happy indeed!!

[@HilaryIsOkayssss]

I love their grandma. She’s amazing.

[@deed2799]

They so calm and collected. Grandma deserved a place though it's a family extra room would be great to have her own space. Great job George and your entire team. Sophisticated is the word. 👌👌👌💕💕💕

"Keeping the faith" - these 3 words are so relevant in our world right now. Thank you and bless you for serving as another reminder of the goodness that exists.

[@debbie6712]

Awww I'm so happy for grandma. She was like a little girl throwing herself on the bed. Go grandma!

[@lindafrizzell6824]

I’ve watched these shows since I discovered them a couple of years ago during the pandemic. They are beyond wonderful! I have watched everyone I can access at least three times. And honestly every time I feel a bit sad…..I turn to George to the rescue! You have no idea what you and your people have helped me and so many others get through! Thank you!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Grandma's a hoot! 💕

[@teresashaw4509]

Bless her loved it when she was so pleased that she had a bathroom ❤️

[@whitneyconnolly3927]

Beautiful! Basement makeovers are always inspiring.

[@beckyshell4649]

This show is so so much better than the home make-over show. With this kind of makeover, a relatively modest amount of money has made a big impact on this family's lives. The big home make-over show people were having big money problems and the solution was to tear their modest house down and build them a huge over the top house that they couldn't afford to maintain.They came up with some of the most impractical ideas.

[@GeorgeToTheRescue]

Glad you're loving GTTR!

[@lowesonia8551]

I agree It was a Disney Time Forced Smiles .Too much unnecessary Luxury. Too BLING. George to the Rescue is the Antitheses to Extreme Makeover . Love his Program.

[@CZPanthyr]

I love the abuelita! "Everything is going to be kept just like that, beautiful!"

My favorite 🤩 part is grandma 👵 jump in the bed

[@karengray7981]

Great job George 😀 and good for Grandma for setting boundaries for her space and rules for the laundry room.

salute your team work

[@mrs.noneyabuisness5025]

I wished they put the two kids down in the basement, make their rooms there with an area just for them. Bc grandma needs to be on the main floor she's getting older she won't be able to go down the stairs. Grandma could've taken one of the kids old room and the other room could've been a theater room.

[@AlacranaAmorosa]

George knows what he's working with! Obviously he's a boss😎✌George you did it again!(my favorite words for George💖😊)

[@misstrixy3408]

I will die to meet you George, I am from the Philippines but I have been watching all your shows. Been crying most of the time, and happy for the beautiful things you did for others. Apparently, its a very different story in my end, as we have very poor house set up, but your shows are very inspiring, I wish I can own a beautiful house for my family someday too. Thank you George for helping.

Beautiful job and a lovely place for grandma. When my grandpa passed away we were so fortunate to have grandma with us for 40 years. So love this beautiful family. Totally understand about workers who take your money and do shoddy work. Love George when he pulled those stickers off. Love love love this episode.

[@acpren]

Grandma was living independently before this and had the freedom to cook whenever she wanted to eat. This reno has not included any such consideration. Though it is beautiful, I am not the least bit envious because of that loss of independence.

[@chrissr123]

You can tell that they are a tight knit family. And such family most likely eat together. If that was a demand she had, it would have been adressed. She had been sleeping on the couch. She would not have done that, if she was not a part of the family's routine. The idea of you being envious is also pretty silly. Why? This renovation was to fit the needs of this beautiful family. Not you.

[@acpren]

@@chrissr123 Why the rudeness? Perhaps I should have said that the video failed to explain how this basic human need was not addressed in any way.

[@Mejiaelis]

I noticed you had to specifically point out you were not envious. That speaks volumes

[@ORSkie]

Agreed, it would have been far better if they had turned downstairs into a mother-in-law suite, since the family could have continued to dance in the upstairs living room. However, maybe they were restricted by permits - some places don't allow suites in a basement.

[@shaz8486]

Great rescue George and everyone involved....looks beautiful and grandma is very happy ! 💜

[@GeorgeToTheRescue]

❤️❤️❤️

[@AdaMakawee]

Grandma, its only a matter of time until I can't do stairs anymore. Family lets make a space for grandma downstairs. Haven't finished watching, I hope there is some accommodation?

[@cathyblackhall3448]

Sherry Taylor She said the time is coming when she can’t walk up and down 4 flights of stairs to her apartment.She looks spry enough to manage one small one.

[@Erik-pr2rf]

good things happen to good people who needed it at the moment of time ....wish they had brought in someone to put in a Home elevator or some type of chair lift and yes i know a chairlift can be put in at a later time but since the show was redoing the basement they could of brought in the specialists to do it then for the lovely grandmother

[@elisha052550]

Right grandma 💕🥰🙏🏽

[@AllenTax]

Love what was done, but feel bad for the grandma still. As she stated to walking issue. Wished elevator was put in. Good she wanted it to stay clean.

[@gretachristian1618]

The couple's house was renovated with the grandma in mind. The place where the grandma lived before the renovation was where there was no elevator. There's no need for an elevator where the family lives.

[@b_uppy]

An elevator would make more sense trying to retrofit with a chair? No! "As a physician", how about quit lying as to your status...

[@GladysRWhite]

@@b_uppy + "Ask a physician" was meant there... no claim of status for sure!

[@b_uppy]

@John Texas I can read "as a physician". Am wondering where the justification for your response "ugly negativity" comes in as justified. A stair chair is expensive. Stairs are also one if the most common places for household injuries. Would be more common if more houses had them. Plenty of ways to keep her walking. Just being with her family will up her activity levels. You really need to get over yourself... Nice professional demeanor with the term "silly ass", too.

[@b_uppy]

@@GladysRWhite I know. That one was pretty easy to figure out.

[@Judy48pr]

6 minutes watching and I’m already crying 😭😭😭geeee whats wrong with me! 😭😭😭😭

[@InspirationVlog1979]

Excited 👍👍👍

[@KAH5371]

Maybe there was a reason for making a Murphy bed. It doesn’t seem the best choice for an elderly lady, but that’s not my choice. I would have made her a room, not a “bed” in a new family room, but again, it’s not my choice. If the family is happy. If grandma is happy. That’s all that really matters. Happy Grandma! Happy home. I wish them the best. 🥰

[@MaryMary-dm1so]

Ialso dont like them keep saying o my god ,over and over

[@joyajovals8577]

You always make people happy. I just hope you are in d philippines too george.

[@danapowers9793]

I hate it when they open the door before he knocks

[@Aeris357]

Idk, I would have preferred to see a normal bed for grandma... she deserved a real room ☹️

[@ginnyosborne3304]

George taking the stickers off the bed! Lol! Your going to get yourself fired one day...lol!

[@roadwayrona]

It looks as if there is not much private space for grandma....

[@Susi-Saks]

I don't understand why they could not have put up a 'privacy' wall and make it like a small bedroom...the room is big enough... bahumbug it looks like the room is made for the family... not the grandma.. disappointed :/

[@a.a.erd.977]

I was understanding that the entire basement was the grandmother's area. None of it was for the family?

[@nancyreindl9924]

Very nice, I was thinking that grandma said she couldn't ho up the stairs but she lived on the fourth floor before and the steps might help strengthen her legs and heart ...

[@b_uppy]

If she has a spinal injury or balance issues, stairs are poor for aging in place. Plenty of other ways to strengthen without precarious steps.

[@b_uppy]

Love this family. Grandma is supposed to squeeze/twist through that window in an emergency???

[@pratibhapanghal]

Old people should never be placed in a basement but in a sunny ,well lit room

[@marciaharper2053]

I'm in the uk and I love your video's, just wish we had someone like you over here.

[@GeorgeToTheRescue]

We ❤️ our fans! Glad you're loving GTTR

[@timlewis5096]

Grandma laid down the law regarding mess in the basement. How long will that state of affairs last?

[@carolemerckel3461]

George should have put in the same kind of Murphy Bed that the Property Brothers put in for that update for Brad Pitt's makeup artist at her place.

[@norbertocaimol3066]

Jorge i watched all the family you rescued, rescue my house jorge its broken, ha ha! 👍🔨

[@lojean4]

She is having to move because of stairs, but she still has stairs to maneuver to get downstairs. They should have given her a bedroom on the main floor and put someone downstairs

[@b_uppy]

Absolutely. Handicapped access is important for aging in place. An elevator accommodates walkers and wheelchairs. There are reasonably priced elevators. Lost opportunity...

[@shaz8486]

L J I think the problem she said at the start she had four flights of stairs ....so there is not as many stairs now. They also made the door to outside which didn’t look to have as many stairs. Later they can also add a chair on the staircase.....probably all the other beds are up so stairs, so either way it is still stairs ....at least it isn’t four flights of stairs....don’t get me wrong, because I can’t do stairs myself, so I completely understand. I think if she couldn’t walk stairs at all they would have done a lift ....Grandma looks in good shape, lucky woman 💙

[@b_uppy]

@@shaz8486 Yeah, but stairs are a major cause of injury. How long before she has to give up living there because she cannot handle the stairs? Those electric chairs are expensive, too, and they restrict walking space. Somebody then has to carry her walker for her, or she has to have two, one way or upstairs and one for downstairs. Finding space for those later is "lacking fun".

[@corycarandang7285]

Very true, n a murphy bread for a grandmother is a bad idea.

[@b_uppy]

@@corycarandang7285 Actually, good point about the Murphy bed. Never had to operate one. Not sure if her trying to pull it down and put it away would be a bit much.

[@MRhappy9]

I love the videos!

[@aprilsmith6587]

I thought she said she wasn't going to be able to do stairs.

Do they not listen? The grandma is going to have to give up her living space in the city bcuz she knows there will come a time she won't be able to climb up & down the steps...and yet they give her only a Murphy bed in the basement??? I would have thought they would have put in a elevator for the grandmother and then maybe on the main floor made the grandmother her own room.

[@tanyatautuaa603]

George could have given grandma a bedroom and a lift, when she gets older those stairs are gonna be pretty useless for her but all is great right now

[@can1948]

Did they not need another private bathroom in the basement?

[@breannanicolemartinez9891]

How can I get in contact with George??? I have no social media accounts but I have an email.

[@jb6712]

I love what they did, but I did see two things that weren't addressed correctly; one was that the larger window did not have an egress ladder--most of them are built in as part of the retaining wall, but I didn't see one in this window well--and the other that there is no easier access than the stairs. As an elderly adult who has mobility issues myself, that would be a huge concern for me, and I wonder if perhaps there are plans to retrofit one of the new home lifts/elevators in later? I know they're designed to take very little square footage, unlike a full-fledged elevator, so that would be a good solution, if the upper floor has a space for it. One thing I absolutely hated, though, was the constant, repeated taking of God's name in vain. That was totally unnecessary on the part of the family, and is quite offensive. George and his crew aren't to blame for that, but it sure does put me off wanting to watch anymore episodes when this happens so much.

[@b_uppy]

Important point. Really hate how their architects almost always fall short in some aspect of design.
