[@christinasullivan9304]

Oh my goodness. Maverick is adorable. So very observant. He’s going to be a great helper when he gets older.

[@gelwood99]

Ok, I had to stop at 4:07 to say that Maverick was so stinking cute how he moved with you and that look he gave you, PRICELESS!! 💝

[@DonnaDeMasi]

Hahaha Daddy’s apprentice.......way cute❤️

[@jeanettedavis4633]

Dear Doug and Ashley, I loved watching this video. Thought it was so cute with your little helper. He followed your ievery move. You are so humble. I can tell you are a perfectionist in your work. You do a great job. Take a easy on your selves. Your doing great. God bless you all.

[@EC4400]

You are a skilled individual. I congratulate you both.

[@barbaraguthrie5107]

Your quality assurance inspector is really on the ball today!

[@fava7753]

I see you have a new apprentice there doug , maverick helping you out , checking up on the quality control . Cleaning up around you too , well done little guy . You have to pass on the skills to your children , its all part of parenting , I did it with my sons , three picked up the skills really well , one teaches brickwork in the construction colleges now , two of them can lay their hands to any given tasks , the youngest , not so much , very skilled at mma though junior champion of the north east england at two weights , anyway , your doing an excellent job there , been watching your mudding skills there , you seem to have the flow there . And the closet and workspace fits in perfectly , minimalism is the way to be , no clutter exactly right . You have a lot of skills , I can see that for sure , im exactly the same . Learnt a lot of it from my grandad from a very early age , and carried it on all through my life , keep up the exceptional skills , your going to have an excellent home in the end , well done so far . Ashley has a smile a mile wide , so good to see you all beaming , total respect to your family , keep going your doing just fine . .

[@Laurieb2851]

Loved watching your son's intense interest in what you are doing. It was cute watching him move from drill/screw as you were doing that. If you add on a bedroom to the house, he might even be big enough by that time to help you. What I would say about closet doors is that their job is to help keep your clothing clean when they're hung inside. Judging from the size of the closets (width wise), you likely won't have an abundance of clothing in them anyway and they'll get washed often enough to not have to worry about them getting dirty while hanging there. We've got too many clothes at our house and some things hang in the closet for a long time before being used again. Another consideration with closets is that they are deep enough for the clothing. Hanging jackets is a big consideration for that. The bedroom looks good-sized even after the closet has been added. Good job as usual! You'll be able to use your bedroom real soon now.

[@stephenseaney1794]

Definitely looks like supervisor Maverick is keeping a closer eye on your work lol

[@thelastwarrior2992]

Doug. You are a humble young man. I know that. But you don't give yourself enough credit. I know that it's VERY boring. But you are actually very good at mudwork. Don't sell yourself short kiddo. You did a fine job. G. Murphy Ex Air Force and Gulf War Veteran and watchman for the return of Jesus Christ.

[@diyfferent]

I appreciate that.

[@GarmanyRachel]

I have open closets with curtains and I love it, more convenient and you can play around with fabric designs:)

[@terry-1]

Looks good folks, It will be so nice to have a bedroom again, If nothing else, its a place to just shut the door and take a breath. I too have not had closet doors for about 20 years. I found that a flat twin size sheet works great as a curtain, Unpick the ends of the wider header and run the spring rod thru that, Washes well and you can change out as you wish and as a bonus, still a flat sheet.

[@jjmax3400]

Your little helper is so cute! Everything looks great, you certainly are a crafty person. Well done!

[@kathyhegert4152]

Nothing you two ever do could be boring! I'm 71 and every time I watch you I learn something. I think you are awesome!

[@gubbie2u]

Looking awesome! I was cracking up when Maverick was "helping" you, Doug. He's a hoot!

[@jojob211]

I find myself excited to see your progress! You guys are doing a great job! As a grams, I get the biggest kick out of Maverick helping you. He’s so darn cute! Cracks me up . Lol

[@wandaarganbright4056]

Doug, you should try adding some water to small batches compound to thin down the mud so it's easier to work with, less cracking. Try using a tee shirt scrap that is wet and wrung out good. Let the mud set up for 5 minutes and smooth it out with the rag. It saves a lot of time sanding and less clean up. My brother, a construction worker, taught me those tricks. A great channel to learn a lot of great stuff is "The Handyman."

[@CathyRobitaille]

Sponge works great too

[@beatricebee4809]

Agreed. I learned that trick yrs ago and it saves so much time and basically no sanding.

[@glendagrant9042]

Looks good. I like the open closet/desk space. Very smart practical planning. Your son is growing so much.

[@smallfootprint2961]

My sister took her closet doors off and mine don't work so it's hard to get in and out of the closet. I need a good handy man. lol... Looks good, Doug. Love seeing Maverick... helping daddy.

[@jacquicoder7160]

After watching so many house hunter videos where everyone wants huge walk in closets, I commend you for your minimalist style. Really looking forward to seeing the finished work.

[@Betharoot]

Maverick learning from Daddy. Love it!!

[@tennesseebornandraised1075]

The room looks huge! Great job guys 👍

[@cyndifoore7743]

Looks great!!! I love how Maverick moved with each hole you drilled Doug, too cute! He’ll be your helper soon. A bow window would look nice there.

[@SugarCreekCottage]

Maverick was the cutest part!

[@MsJWheels]

Love your little "supervisor"😍

[@emmettbohannan1217]

You guys are awesome....I got tickled at your son being so attentive when you were drilling......Reminded me of when my 50 yr old son was that age....

[@scottfirman]

My grandson is your boys age. He wants to be involved in everything Grandpa does. Your closet looks nice. Simple doesnt mean expensive or fancy. With a mobile home, going minimal just means more room to keep things neat.

[@followingbreadcrumbs]

it's good to see Foreman Maverick is keeping an eye on your work :-)

[@Susi-Saks]

I can tell you did a lot of planning for this... and so good to see it all done.. amazing work. TY for sharing.. Cheers.

[@Grimes60]

Maverick is going to be your helper in no time😃 love the closet idea

[@roberrtbiniaszewskijr.4501]

Little man supervising , and learning some skills , nice !!!

[@rondaweber5773]

Doug you do a fantastic job on dry walling!!! You have the talent and precision to get it done right. NOBODY has the patience for it lol. As far as closet doors, you don't need them. It's just easier to play hide and seek if you can close the door. have a great spring!

[@normabuehlmann9131]

You will have a lovely home and the best part is that you are customizing it to fit your family.

[@nikkimoor4256]

looks like you're going to have quite the helper on your hands! He's always seems like such a happy boy!

[@laurajphillips]

You are doing a great job, give yourself some more credit!! Love you guys!!

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

Aww Maverick 😍😍😍 Wonder how long til he'll be doing what dad (& mum) does!

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

After having done years of drywall in my own homes, family's homes, and friends homes I will say you are doing a great job. My only unsolicited advice is the mesh drywall "tape" is a lot nicer. It doesn't suck the moisture out of the mud too quickly leading to cracks like the paper tape does.

[@OhItsJustMe2]

Save those windows and build a glass greenhouse sometime.

[@wendyc.5769]

Oh I see your little helper. That’s nice 😊

[@Susi-Saks]

Wasn't that the cutest...

[@karenyounger2314]

So beautiful....father and son. A photographer's dream!

[@karencatalano4349]

He is so cute o interested in what dad is doing So precious

[@dianagaylord979]

Looking so nice ..love watching you work..lol..😊..

[@FunnyVids1080]

Drywall is the buggiest pain. It looks amazing though!! Love the videos

[@cindydelane529]

Great job. It's really coming together. How is everything blooming outside. Know you've been busy, but maybe a tour of what you found to be growing outside and or bushes that you will enjoy on the property. That would be cool to see.

[@bettygibson634]

Great job. I like the idea of curtains on the closet doors, will keep dust off the clothes. All the best to your family.

[@wendyc.5769]

When my son was 6 for Christmas I went to Home Depot and spent 330.00 on tools and a nice toolbox. He was in heaven. He started play working with real tools at 18 months. Today he’s soon to be 30. And what kind of work does he do? He used to work on heavy equipment but quickly moved up in the company. Yay

[@aprilroa8151]

Your son helping was soo cute. Great job guys! Its looking so sharp. Love it. Cant wait to see the next video.

[@liztosh740]

So sweet...baby boy is learning how to build things so young!

[@Lau-zon180]

Without hearing protection while father had a set on.

[@dannyriddick1701]

You keep saying to trust you and every time you keep surprising usI love you good job

[@mtak1127]

love love love it. why am I liking watching you hang dry wall...lol but I do. great video. Oh by the way I dont have closet doors either!

[@cathyblasco4497]

❤ Maverick's assistance. He's so cute.

[@merryannebrown]

Love the mini helper. so cute

[@RVGrannyWA]

Your idea of an exposed closet intrigued me so I looked online and saw some really great examples. Traditional rods were replaced with tree limbs or plumbing pipes and they looked wonderful.

[@Chickenman62]

Glad to see the table saw is up off the floor it makes my old knees feel better lol :) looks like things are moving right along .

[@elisabethlyons8089]

Oh you guys, I’m so excited for you, I wouldn’t miss a video, it’s looking really good.

[@kat1114]

I really like the closets with the desk area in the middle! That is something I would love. In my living room instead of having a big tv and a computer desk taking up room, I put my two bookshelves with a matching desk in the middle. When I am watching tv I roll my chair out of the way. To be honest most of the time I sit at my comfy desk chair to watch my shows :)

[@nathantv8257]

Wow, your room is looking amazing!

[@donnaturner3133]

Great job!! I must say your little one is always so well behaved in your videos! I loved watching him follow his daddy!! Much love!!

[@jhlewis10]

Great job, I can never tape and float well enough to pass the spouse test. Definitely a skill.

[@rhondamarley4642]

It’s coming together love home makeovers!!

[@ubetchya78]

Great job! I've been watching your videos as they come out, but restraining myself from posting on each of them a "good job" cuz that would be so repetitive and stalkerish... lol My farm in Spokane had open closets... and it was an ancient home, the closets were probably done roughly 100 yr ago. I loved them, did not even hang curtains on them. One could though... used but in good condition sheets are cheap at yard sales or Goodwill type places and are very easy to turn into curtains. Your little Supervisor seemed well pleased with the progress and quality of work.

[@paulaboynton8299]

I don't like closet doors either. I've been toying with the idea of using a few closet doors to make a headboard. Many years ago I made a headboard out of a door, I mounted it horizontally, and since it was a raised panel door, we had to trim some off the bottom to make it symmetrical. Repurposing is creative and fun. And frugal!

[@barbaralittle7873]

Wow not so boring to me, I just wanted to get in there and help you do it. You and Ashley make a great team. I am from Morganton, North Carolina and I love watching you two work. The bedroom is looking great.

[@albertasigh9617]

Okay, regarding the closets...I’m intrigued. Can’t wait to see how you do them!

[@christinabrodrick6406]

Ohhh I remember these days compound was not my favorite to do, nor the sanding .... but you’re mastering it like a pro😊❤️

[@paulajarman9314]

I love how precise you guys do everything. Clean lines.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Ir looks like a brand new house in there! Great job!

[@karenrebornartist]

My first thought was two sliding type barn doors one on each side of the his and her closet. Seems to be a popular trend.

[@melissabush4127]

I just love watching your videos. It amazes me how you know how to do all this. Your so calm and explain things as you go. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I love the closet idea, and the lights. Your son is a cutie too. I also love how you and your wife work as a team. Kudos to both of you. God bless.

[@elizabethshipman3947]

Loved, and love your view from bedroom. .

[@tinatipps5042]

Omgee!!! Looks great!! YALL ARE MY FAVORITE!!! I love to watch you and Ashley work! When I need inspiration to get going you all help me!! Precious maverick watching daddy 😍so sweet. Love your videos. Anxiously awaiting the next one 😉

[@grannyt1264]

Gonna have a good helper there dad!

[@kscheuerman5378]

You did a great job! Just because you go slow and mud (I think that is the right term) in thin layers doesn't mean you are not good at doing drywall. I v'e seen the pro's, they go fast & the end result is often not as good as yours. If it isn't your favorite thing to do I can't fault you for that. We don't have to like the actual tasks we have to do. The important thing is doing things we don't enjoy & not putting it off. There is a lot of merit in that. I always enjoy your videos because it is so fun to see the progress and the transformations! God Bless.

[@hannakinn]

I am subscribed and I do watch! I enjoy watching remodeling, building and decorating. My ex and I redid a cabin in the mid seventies. I found out then that I hated drywall work. I liked painting and flooring though. My shoulders still ache thinking about drywalling and mudding, ewww. I'm really looking forward to seeing the decorating stage of your remodel. Glad that I stumbled across your videos before you moved to the schoolhouse property and that you all introduced us to Bobblehead Homestead Jeff. Grumpy and Wlldberry appear to be thriving thete with Jeff as are Tundra and Beau with you guys. I'm looking forward to the next upload!

[@alicewills3815]

You both are awesome!! I love how you like to live simple! Wouldn't it be great if we all could! Ps. Maverick was adorable following you up the board and back!!
