Mini Home Tour And Starting Renovations 🔨🏡

[@RealElongatedMuskrat]

max mentally prepping for all the mice living or dead just made me chuckle so much. I can't wait to see this beautiful home all done up!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

My question now is....Why are the dead mice gone? Who eats them?!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Happy new year!! We are starting the new year with something we have been waiting for a LONG TIME! How are you all starting your new year?! 💕

[@Stanzishouse]

Moving! Hectic chaos, but I'm so happy with my new place!

[@BETH..._...]

I'm in NJ and the struggle to find licensed contractors who can do renovations and repairs is REAL. Reliable labor is hard to come by and building supplies even harder. Much love for your BEAUTIFUL family 💜

[@MaxMayaLiving]

MUCH LOVE! 💕

[@sashaj.8465]

Another adventure! Can’t wait to see the results. Girl, you found a good one for sure.

Couples doing home reno together is always a vibe

[@LuvJones44]

Aww when Maya notices she manifested her family.....also Saga is super adorable. and I'm so glad you stopped Max from jumping into that fiber glass pile and it was cool to see what was up in the attic space and also was the sawdust dumped for composting or no? - Also hi from Philly!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

We saved money from dumping the sawdust on our land and we are gonna use it for composting and make walking paths in our forest :)

[@LuvJones44]

@@MaxMayaLiving Ha I knew it! As soon as I seen the truck dumping the saw dust I was like yup Max and Maya is gonna so use that for composting lol....

[@tiffanyyisrael7989]

Hello Max, Maya and baby. ❤️😁

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Hello!!

[@michellezevenaar]

There is a building material shortage and it's hard to find builders everywhere. It's in every place I've seen anyone doing building work. People discovered that they wanted more space or a better house when all the lockdowns started. Supply chain problems also haven't helped. The 2009 housing bubble also had the effect in Europe that lots of people left the building trade and never went back creating a shortage of workers.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Yeah and we have great understanding and respect for that however what we can't understand is the communication and transparency that its been lacking. We haven't been able to get a honest response throughout this whole process..

[@michellezevenaar]

@@MaxMayaLiving super frustrating indeed. Could it be cultural? In the Netherlands were I live people are extremely blunt, no sugar coating anything. It takes some time to get used to.

[@mswisesenior5612]

I can’t wait for the fun part …decorating!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Me too!!! - Maya

[@sandrabrooke8328]

stoppppp, when yall did the flash back and cheers to your baby 😭😭😭 my heart!! manifestation baby! :')

[@NaomiandJack]

😱 I am always mentioning jacks back too

[@FunandBudget]

Wow! Max is brave brave climbing up in the attic like that - LoL

[@MaxMayaLiving]

haha it was a challenge...

[@Throughoursoul]

I don't know if Maya wants to hear this but please know that this season is so temporary. Don't focus too much on the future because it has a funny way of stealing your present. I'm routing for you guys. Max, patience, kindness and understanding always please(I'm sure you're doing all the above anyway ❣️).

[@alisonhilaire4170]

In addition to amazing video skills, you are both really good at home renovation!!! This could definitely be a side business for you in addition to renting your house on Airbnb lol.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

I like your thinking!!

[@TTAngel1]

Blessing to you! It will all definitely be worth it! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. 😊

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Thank you!!!

In Belgium and it's same story, builders, contractors, labourers, hard to come by reliable workmen.

Maya you and your energy/what you share is a gift from God! Thank you for all that you do and share. You have inspired me to sacrifice alcohol this year. You have reminded and inspired me to thank God every day I wake up. You have inspired me to actively create the life I want to live. Thank you. Cheers and blessings to you and your families year ahead.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Thank you for sharing this Tamara. I wish you all the best and an abundance of love coming your way after such sacrifice! x

I also have been struggling with contractors for renovations I have been needing for a while. One guy said he was stepping out to get his ladder and then never came back.

I want to air b&b your home! Awesome idea.

[@duncandy]

Wasn’t the bedroom upstairs? I thought. And no sink in the kitchen! No wonder you were excited in your IG stories when you showed the one in Ikea lol. These renos are exciting because it’s nice to see you meet your goal!

[@thebohohobos9804]

Can't wait to see more of the renovation and the final result! We would love to rent your home some day, we live in DK only a ferry ride away from Göteborg. I can relate so much to what Maya says about the lack of hospitality and service at hotels, restaurants etc 😂to me this counts for most of Scandinavia, although the people in general are so hospitable and kind!

[@aboriginiblues]

Finding a good, solid and easy to work with contractor is difficult worldwide unfortunately, they all spin on their heads promising they can do an above/beyond job then spend all day doing something that should take two hours tops; I have many painful stories of my own renovation. I hope all goes well, remember to be present at all times during the renovation and scrutinize the work as it is being done, there is nothing like having to pay for a costly mistake.

We are actually planning to share that in our videos but it never made the cuts. Saga means a long story of heroic achievement, especially a medieval prose narrative old norse (Scandinavia). Our life is an ongoing story we thought Saga repreent that in whole

Not even four minutes in, but, man, you guys might be better tearing down the house and rebuilding with all that you're doing... maybe stay with the in-laws in the meantime. I know Max is handy.

[@ingridpersson9376]

Learn about building maintenance before you make a modern building out of an old swedish cottage. Glass walls.. 😪 Dead mice, you learn about them when you are a child. Sometimes I think this is just for fun. Two teens renovating and destroying a house.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Glad you watched our video though. Have a great day 💕

[@breneworld]

Happy New Year Maya, Max and Saga 🎉. I wish you all a great renovation journey. Can't wait to see what the After looks like. I think because of the limited access to home building materials, mostly due to shipping supply chain delays, many contractors are not able to complete or start projects. This started since 2020 because its what happened to us when we had a house fire in Feb 2020, followed by shut down of borders and imports in Mar 2020 due to the pandemic, all while waiting for our contractor to finish the remodeling. It took a little over 5 months for our contractor to "complete" the house (regutted entire wood frames, walls and interior fixtures). Our contractor stated he could have completed our house in 3 months if there was no pandemic. We also had to wait several months to get our appliances and furniture delivered. The sofa was the longest wait (from Interior Define) and it took same amount of time to get our sofa delivered as it took to get our home completed. It was both an exciting and stressful journey during the home remodeling phase but boy we we're glad to be back home. I wish you and your family a peaceful journey during this new renovation transition. It's so nice to see families make their houses a HOME🏠. ☺️
