Not sure we would have bought the 1899 abandoned house had we known this...| Bedroom Makeover

[@pjv59tn51]

As Phil was smashing down the closet I was screaming “get your protective eye wear on!” All it takes is one flying splinter to ruin your day and lose an eye.

[@tiffanytorres6353]

I would add insulation anywhere and every where you can. To help with noise but mostly to help with your homes energy efficiency.

[@marilyntyger5253]

Both boys are going to remember these days and share their stories with their families. Not many children are blessed with parents like you and Phil.

[@juliecoffey2052]

Hi to you all! I was reading the comments and I agree that it would be a good idea to put insulation in between the boys rooms. And yes, I do get distracted easily, but in my case its usually when I'm cleaning😊😊😊 I am really enjoying seeing you guys every day.

[@cherylross2718]

Interior rooms insulation for heat may not be necessary, but sound insulation certainly is. We all love our peace and privacy.

[@pamelamontgomery5686]

If I were you (for your sanity) I would insulate the wall that was his closest. To keep the noise down between the boys rooms.

[@anneyday3493]

That was a solid start on that room in just one day!!!

[@janzitterkopf1630]

You two make such strides! Your positive attitude is marvelous!

[@carolewhite4659]

That mustard color is one of my decor colours; love it!

[@BeverleyAllen-j1c]

My last old home renovation was during the pandemic. It's fun but I'm too old to take on another. I will live vicariously through you instead.

[@Hollybank5]

Your boys have the most awesome parents 🎉 😎 !!! Philip slegehammering the walls 😲👍. When my siblings were helping our parents pack up to move to a new home - after 50 yrs …. Omg , my folks wanted to sit and look through EVERY box and tell the story of it 😫🙄. They finally found the trick - don’t show them anything and just use good judgment on what to keep or throw away !! ( they never missed a thing 🤣 ) ❤❤❤

[@MematheLion]

You are the best parents ever! Those boys are so blessed! ❤

[@gailrhodes2859]

I’m so excited that you are posting daily! We love you too!!!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Yes! Crockpot gal right here! So easy! Rooms are going to be amazing!

[@KatrinaRatliff]

Love the daily videos. The dinner struggle is real, but you make that seem like the easy part. It's funny how I had 4 kids, a husband that was gone a lot and worked full time. I got it all done and did not eat out much either. We added on our home and finished areas the previous owners had not. I watch you two and the one thing I wish I had is the videos. You two got your life stories and accomplishments here. I love it. You should be proud of it all. Now take some pictures of your fabulous dinners. Those need remembering too!! 😊

[@rosalindaarons6657]

I love the idea that you have of letting the boys decide what they need/want in their rooms.

[@luannbaker8508]

Dayton's room is going to be so cool, I just know it.

[@Phoenixrising-i4u]

Have tried throughout life few times actually to give these joyful memories for my children, unfortunately life got in the way. Filled my heart to see your sons face so excited''' life is so short. Enjoy all you can with your family while they are young. I've been subscribed to you for a long time but just created a channel to comment this week considering creating videos. Great job on your Homestead. You give me inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

[@beverlylones9552]

The drywall looks great! You and Phil are such hard workers! I don’t know how Phil can walk after being on his knees like that! Thank you all for doing the daily videos! Love you all!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ellenwagner4050]

Loving the daily videos!

[@pamelamcdermott7716]

Dayton's room is going to be gorgeous. You 2 work so well together. I just love watching you. Thank you for another wonderful video. God bless.

[@samjunod]

First of all..love your shirt!! I’m loving your daily videos and watching your progress. Renovating is such hard work, you guys handle it so well and work together like a well oiled machine. ❤

[@chipper841]

Y'all are great parents! Just saying!👍👍

[@ElysiaEnglish]

aww thank you!

[@barbaraerwin8478]

Will we see every room in the house for all the work all of you have done. Love to see how close everyone is such a loving family even. Philips parents no one is to busy to be apart of the family.

[@barbarastone138]

Great start on Dayton's room! Ohh I feel for you... I hate mudding and sanding!! But it always looks wonderful when it done!🤟👷‍♀️👷‍♂️

[@ktdidits]

Oh my goodness! That was all of my bathroom walls. We demoed the entire room and rebuilt from scratch. Next is the dinning room and kitchen ceilings. Y'all get way more done way faster than us. You also keep me inspired to keep doing what we can, when we can. Thank you ❤

[@debrafacer6971]

Go team. Can’t wait to see this room.

[@oliviaayala1219]

Yes! One step closer. My mom used to say I would rather be one step closer. It doesn't matter if it's on the side or the front closer is closer. Much love and many prayers.💖💖

[@dianeniemeyer1067]

Wow he really need his room done. I know it will look great. He is such a good boy 😊

[@sherriecollins1570]

You two and the boys are amazing! I've never seen anyone with your ambition and drive! The boys are going to love their rooms! Can't wait to see the progress!

[@alicejump2290]

Seeing this room from the bare bones and the amount of work involved is truly an eye opener! I have no doubts that the English team will create a dream of a room! Love these visits! Blessed and safe days!

[@KimPorter-tv8nw]

You have to start and then progress will be made! You guys live by this mantra!!!!

[@suer4495]

Loving these dailys

[@maureenmcclymont5940]

Exciting for the boys to have new rooms!: You should insulate between the bedrooms and for sure the wall against the bathroom.

[@colleenhaithcock216]

I love that you said thank you for being part of our family. When my family was dissolving, I kind of got adopted into some other families and that was a great gift. You are a blessing to us all.

[@bettyloar2238]

See you tomorrow, love watching ❤

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hello Elysia Philip Chase & Dayton,that room will be as nice as Chase’s & love the plans for Dayton’s room.YAY!!❤

[@goinsewin163]

Did you consider putting the bed where the closet was? Would be a nice enclosure and lots of room for the other stuff

[@mickichikwinya5519]

The concept of a really decorated, themed bedroom was such a foreign concept to me until watching YT videos. Your Boy's are so blessed to have a Mom & Dad that enthusiastically embrace creating such spaces.

[@bev473]

Never a dull moment with your family. Loving all your videos.

[@donnapotter2105]

Keep pushing and Stay Blessed!

[@CarolynS.Cooper-io4jw]

It's going to be magnificent Dayton !

[@allisonwarner5453]

Can't wait to see the final outcome.

[@jenifergorman1223]

I think the color Dayton picked out is going to look really good!!! I like his choice. I really like both Chase and Dayton’s choices in color.

[@assiahinarkansas]

Wow! You made big progress just with the drywall that went up. 🎉🎉🎉

[@Sweetness1944]

You go English family. You’re going a fantastic job.😊

[@jenniferwhite7854]

That room is going to look awesome when it's done.

[@mcampbell7760]

🇨🇦Thank you English Family for sharing your story with us…14 days!!!!!❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@ConnieShops]

Great content, excited to see the project moving along!

[@goinsewin163]

I love the original floors

[@carinslayton3147]

[@danaevans7104]

Glad to see you everyday.

[@cjg8822]

I can’t wait to see your boys rooms completed and the smiles and comments for it done!

[@janicekrech8052]

I can not wait until you fhinish this room.🎉 it will be fabulous just like the rest of your home❤😊

[@marykempski3986]

Great job guys . ❤

[@robertalacy5112]

Awesome❤️

[@lydialebiecki]

Kudos on the reno. Love the energy always. Phil's funny wanting to rebuild entire house, lol.

[@sherrihembree6357]

You too are so funny loving these videos and seeing the boys

[@lauradyer8532]

That was a bit overwhelming at first. Great progress today. Dayton will be so happy with his room. 🤟

[@theresataylor6675]

Nice progress. Can't wait to see it completed. ❤❤❤❤

[@brandynorth4023]

What kind of crock pot meals do you make in your home? It’s always great to come in to a hot meal already prepared. Totally agree it’s like someone else made dinner for you after a long days work.

[@sharondion7979]

Excited for you!🇨🇦❤️

[@mandywells2934]

Day 14!!!!! Woohoo 🎉 This is going to be a huge transformation 💗

[@shstuff52]

Excited for Dayton. I know you & Phillip are happy to get the house…finally together. I know that it will change but you’ve got all the walls & floors done….WooHooo!!! Excited to see the finish… I’ve truly enjoyed allll the daily videos… ♥️💙💙💙🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@sandypeppers6861]

You are a superwoman Elysia!!

[@karenturner7983]

Thanks for sharing. 💙🩷💙💙

[@sharonwaas762]

You guys are always so positive. Love it! 😊

[@ElysiaEnglish]

We try to focus on the good!

[@ccoo-l7s]

🔥 you guys are on fire

[@bettycourson1691]

I’ve often wondered, how do you heat the rooms? I’ve seen where they evidently had a type of wood heater in the rooms connected to the chimney. The house is really large, it is beautiful.Have fun working.

[@kimberlyroshae]

Wow! I can only imagine how cold it got in his room.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

not cold at all. Our house is heated with wood :)

[@bonnie532]

We are working on our old Maine farmhouse. We knocked out the plaster walls and found zero insulation. Room by room we have been removing the plaster and lathe. Putting in insulation and drywall. We even found some live knob and tube. It's a adventure for sure! I enjoy watching you all work on your home. Thank you❤

[@loriwilliams7276]

Slow but sure wins the race. Day 14, love it!

[@conniehooper8024]

Oh my goodness what a job ! I can't wait to see it all done your boys are going to be so happy! I'm loving the green in Chases room. Happy renovations my friends 😊

[@deborahbarry7074]

You guys are amazing! I love your progress! I can’t wait for every evening for your videos!! Keep up the great work!

[@jemma50]

You guys are amazing!!! ♥♥♥♥ I have only one suggestion for Dayton's room - change that paint colour! It looks like poop! LOL Actually, one thing I have realized in all the videos I watch is that the paint colour seems to be different from what we see on the video. But still..... 😅

[@sharonmaresh]

My initial reaction when you first started showing the "before" room was, "Poor Dayton!" I can't wait to see how it all turns out. No pressure, but given all your other endeavors, I'm expecting great things! 😊

[@ElysiaEnglish]

it looked much better before we emptied it 😂

[@lesliesnowdon8490]

You could make the nook a bit deeper by building out a shelf (shallow) in front of the chimney. Just a thought.

[@patriciawilliamsn9605]

I’m sure this room will be great just like the rest of the house

[@Pearlspink4]

Beautiful property! Very cool old home!

[@lindasnyder2976]

Looking forward to watching you transform this room into a fabulous bedroom for your son!

[@staceyvanier15]

Hope you are going to insulate all the outside walls. Also insulate between rooms to dampen sound and if you use a rockwool it will deter little visitors.

[@kathyortiz4302]

Come and wait along there you guys are doing a great job. Love you.

[@kathy4451]

I have a room in my very old house that someone else started to remove the plaster also. Seaweed was used as insulation. This house was a well established boarding house in 1917, not sure when it was built. My grandson who lives with me, wants to switch rooms to that room as its bigger . I'll be taking notes as you progress 😉

[@jayneward6649]

Great work so far, well do e both of you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@eileensolberg7007]

The English family is making great progress.

[@kristamorehead-mcnutt1714]

I think the rule is if Phil has a sledge hammer - somethings coming down!!

[@tammyedmunds668]

Lol 😂😂

[@cindygaudet1390]

My granddaughter is 13 as well. Her brother will be 15 in 2 days. Well, that sure is a messy job, my husband and I don’t like drywall and mudding is the worst! Good job guys❤

[@auauwoof3016]

You guys are the best! You make every task seem easy and fun

[@carolinelawrenc95]

Thank you for sharing and Congratulations. From Vancouver BC ❤❤

[@melodytwitchell4898]

Hi guys it's going to absolutely amazing when his room done I love the color he chose loves ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘

[@jayneward6649]

🎉🎉 Happy 14th birthday lovely young man 🎉🎉

[@ElysiaEnglish]

14th day of posting daily uploads :)

[@debbralehrman5957]

Doing good Guy's👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@joyeddlemon798]

Why are you not putting insulation behind the drywall of the interior walls? It helps keep the room temperature regulated, and it is a good sound barrier. Insulation is not just for exterior walls.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thanks! That’s a lot of work!

[@robinwoods9961]

What you have done so far looks great😄😄😄

[@nance327p2]

🎉🎉🎉 here is to 2 full weeks! Loving these dailies ❤

[@barbstover5831]

I see a lot of free wood for crafting, while Philip is doing demo!

[@ShelJohns-ce7ue]

Love to see that Day is getting the walls covered with some dry wall. He has waited a long time, looking at those bare bone walls.
