[@MsJWheels]

I agree with avoiding unnecessary debt. Never make yourself a prisoner to keeping up with the Joneses.

[@dellagilchrist7647]

Debt free - except for one thing. Owe no one anything except love. Roman's 13:8

[@emasters8619]

Amen! When they said they bought that mobile home for $2k, I got jealous.

[@Marialyse]

That young man is going to be so proud of the new boys room. He can say he helped do the remodel with great pride. One hell of a good lesson to learn. More appreciation. Keep up the great work.

[@jeanniealford4234]

You and Angela and Doug and Ashley are my favorites. I really look forward to both channels. Thanks, people.

[@minnesotagal507]

I agree did you see their bus?

[@diyfferent]

Thanks :)

[@lynnaandj1]

So proud of Elijah!! He’s not only a strong little man, but extremely smart.

[@rynait]

Elijah definitely smart, and learning the tools far faster than I did when I was 10 to 12... and today I am involved with welding, woodoworking, and electrics. plumbing is my least enjoyable area. :)

[@melonie9605]

Fast forward a few years and Elijah will be building on his own bedroom at this rate!

[@kwarts]

How about renovating a whole house? Kind regards Christiaan

[@kimberleytramper8966]

I love that you are letting your son help out. There’s nothing like hands on to teach them.

[@audreywy1743]

Not only am I impressed with Elijah but you guys as well for embracing his interest in construction. Many parents just don't have the patience to let their kids try things. Congrats to all of you! I fully understand not wanting to be in debt, another EXTREMELY VALUABLE LESSON you're teaching your boys!

[@GCSol]

I paid off all my debt when I was 50 years old. I could've retired then but worked seven more years just to keep busy. People ask me all the time how I was able to retire early. I always tell them "no debt".

[@markjames8268]

Sam & Angela being debt free is a wonderful feeling, In 2008 I was in debt for almost $300, 000.00 and it was compounded by being laid off and being unemployed for almost a year. But I was able to sell my house and pay off all my debts and use the left over to buy a Fannie Mae repo for pennies on the dollar and spent the next 8 years remodeling it and fixing it up. I now have the personal philosophy of if I don't have the cash I don't need it. I can truly sympathize with your feelings about debt the only thing I owe is taxes. One suggestion you mentioned having to replace the bathroom window with it being a oddball size you may want to remove it and wall over it. Another suggestion is on central heat and air, it will cost more in the short term but look at mini splits you can size them for a single room for less than $800.00, and with the small size of your place you can probably do 3 splits and cover every thing.

[@b.powell3480]

Great helpers! Also, I forgot, 50 thousand staples in the panels! Lol 😆

[@brendapenner689]

Each and every one of you fine people are funny, adorable, and very lovable! I love you all, and wish you nothing but the best ever single day! 🥰🥰

[@rosemarshall1219]

Hey Sam, I think you are right about the 1988 ‘s mouse nest, I read it on the newspaper at the time. It was a very famous mouse family.🤣

[@gernblanston7895]

At our house, these are called the "might-as-wells". As long as the wall is open, we "might-as-well".......... (Spend more time, more $$$, etc) ☺️ keep up the great work!

[@lloydrmc]

Your son is incredibly capable for his age.

[@suesweetpea7]

LOL I LOVE YOUR EXPLANATION OF PROJECT CREEP SAM AND ANGELA LOL. ELIJAH IS A VERY HARD WORKER LIKE HIS PARENTS AND HE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN HOME AND FAMILY ONE DAY. YOU TWO SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF HOW YOU ARE RAISING YOUR BOYS IT WILL STAY WITH THEM FOREVER.

[@sandraflinn9914]

I remodeled a 100+ years farmhouse! It was hard work but I loved doing it!

[@GregoryMallard]

If y'all are looking for a bath tub for that bathroom.. Go to a local mobile home building supply warehouse near you. They'll have exactly what you need in the correct dimensions you're looking for.

[@freckles3705]

Lowe's actually stock 54" mobile home tubs but if they have the extra 8" of space a standard 60" would save a lot of headaches.

[@lillianmarion2939]

You got a good little helper

[@DLRyoung]

Wow! I’m happy to hear you have two bathrooms! Y’all living the big life, just kidding. Grew up with one, still have one. Haha! Your son is a fantastic help. You go man! God bless

[@jesusislord2457]

Yay Elijah!!! You are more than cool! I am so proud of you for helping your family! ☮️💖🙏

[@3rdgrainrocks88]

That is so cool you have your son working with you. He is such a quick learner. Everyone should homeschool. Great job.

[@Montblanc1986]

Nothing but admiration and respect for you two, I hope you keep it up for the next 50 years! That can do attitude that is

[@LuJustLu]

Elijah is an amazing young man! He jumps right in there, straight Beast Mode. I don't blame you for wanting to stay debt free and doing these projects yourself. A lot of people are trying to keep up with the Joneses and living in a nightmare. I'm really enjoying this remodel, as always. Keep up the great work.

[@mindi.m]

Elijah: "hey, this is our bedroom and I helped remodel it!" Also: "this is our bathroom, I pulled out the old tub" This is very satisfying to watch. I know you have to keep the yellow yuck, but at least you are putting it all back better!

[@glennmcgee1729]

Thumbs up on the creep, you're on a roll!

[@lilyrosedaisy2003]

I love that you had the little one in there learning and working too.

[@karencary3312]

important. Really enjoyed helping. He is such a bright light.

[@cathyjones3403]

Love your definition of project creep😂😂😂😂.

[@kayhenry6293]

Elijah is AWESOME! I can see him, in my mind, tearing out that bathtub. He’s using those tools like he was born to it. Wait! He WAS born to it! Super good going, folks.

[@leahr.2620]

Looks like Elisha is a big help👍👍

[@karenhollingsworth5180]

Well done! Nice to see your son so enthusiastically helping.

[@ladyangi100]

Sam you and Angela great job you are also teaching your children to learn many skills that many children have not learned or will. Unless their parents teach them. Not going into debt, learning how to work with their hands, much much more. As a mother of children your age, you make so proud of you both. ☺️☺️☺️

[@diannaanselm2982]

Elijah is a great worker. You are training him to be able to learn all skills.

[@aa999xyz]

what about the two by fours could they not be reused? I think your son is having way too much fun! It is teaching him not to be afraid of a little DIY project such as this.

[@donnab8010]

I was thinking the same thing. Surely, they saved them for other projects.

[@JcUDE]

Great job teaching the boy and enjoy the free labor from him.

[@judypace4856]

Great job !!! Elijah is a great helper !!! Look forward to next episode!!!

[@lorineilson7529]

Your son is so cute and a great helper!

[@pamelavasquez4961]

I truly enjoyed watching the progress you have done with Elijah being the highlight. He can do more than most adults I know. God bless 🙏❤️

[@sam-and-angela]

He’s truly enjoying his overalls too! 🤗

[@pamelavasquez4961]

@@sam-and-angela he looks so grown up in them.

[@raquelcruz3874]

You do what works for your family and what make it confident for you guys I enjoy your videos.💪🏼

[@angelacross2216]

Mission creep, the story of my life.

[@sherylynhilyard3402]

Your son is amazing look at him go he's going to carry a lot of knowledge with him in his adult hood good job dad and mom

[@guyina4x499]

S&A you're so right about not being in debt. Too many people think paying a mortgage is the way it should be. Makes it to easy to live beyond your means.

[@mamabearandcubs7701]

As ever, a great video 👍🤣, your Son is growing in stature and confidence, I'm so glad you are encouraging him to help. He is a demonstration Trojan! 💪 xx

[@lavernekephartBrandy]

Sam you have a wonderful demo crew, I never miss your channel, your son loves helping you all good for him!

[@imari2305]

Your sons are going to be so thrilled with the new bedroom and bathroom. Elijah is such a hands on kid. He will remember these moments later on when he grows up and cherish them all.

[@barbarainalabama460]

Elijah done a fine job. 🕊

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Great job guys! Your son is a big help! God bless y'all!

[@lindacruikshank2656]

It's going to look so much better. Great job

[@rubberdc]

I bet Elijah loves being involved , just got to the part where he is using the drill with the screwdriver bit and helping out .

[@meloniewalston2273]

Your son is learning very valuable skills by helping. I commend you guys for letting him work. Awesome work guys!

[@dhanakhei9911]

Debt Sucks !! Agree 200 percent !! Love from Shreveport Louisiana 💕

[@mickmac1948]

Hi Sam and Angela ive just discovered your channel i am from yorkshire in england and as you may know we are on lockdown over here due to the pandemic i have to say you two keep me entertained every time i watch one of your videos so down to earth and you get all your jobs completed as a team keep up the good work youll get there in the end best wishes from over here in yorkshire

[@donnadunlop]

Eliga (sorry if i spelt his name wrong) he did great, a hard worker . Looks like project creep is a big one. Thanks for taking us along.

[@dhanakhei9911]

Looks like the apple 🍎 didn't fall far from the tree 🎄 Good job little man !!

[@b.powell3480]

Hi guys! What fun you all are having, not to mention the price $$$$$ of lumber and plywood! Yikes! Project creep is frustrating, having to move mechanicals, plumbing, electrical etc!! Don't give up, you're all doing a great job. Kitchen turned out great!

[@randyrejer4219]

Your son is such a hard worker.

[@shellysaquariumcoffeeshop3360]

Yes absolutely debt-free

[@oldpipe6146]

I'm fixing to start my own remodeling,thank y'all for the boxing idea never heard of it

[@dircia7754]

Great parenting Elijah seems to love the work. Can’t wait to see the finished product.❤️

[@Jim_Swed60]

Elijah did such a great job today. I loved loved loved his hard work!!

[@meganrasey4377]

Y'all are great. Wish we were neighbors. We are new to being home owners and we're inspired by and learning from y'all, a lot. You're REAL people, which is most encouraging.

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

Hope you plan to replace ALL the polybutylene piping in the mobile home soon! That should be a priority.

[@ftwtexasstephens9629]

Yay Elijah! What a n amazing Carpenter in the making!

[@kscheuerman5378]

You must know how much I love it, when you have your son helping you do the work!!! He was really getting after it with that pry bar! He did a great job!!

[@maryallen6334]

I love demo; mine or someone else's. This is so exciting; waiting for the next installment impatiently!

[@janhunt6214]

Got a big kick out of this demo! That is a champion crew you have there!

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tammynorris3093]

Your chosen way of life is a wonderful example for one to follow and be encouraged by. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

[@janicebean6058]

It’s a pleasure to enjoy your show.

[@3msannie]

Wow! That's a big creep! I'm really looking forward to the transformation. So impressed with Elijah. He's a great worker and a great help! The way you all work together and have fun while you do it is just wonderful to see.

[@ronmartinmhg2804]

Watch it come down with Green Acre! The boy loved it. Good for him.

[@Hollybank5]

Elijah is such a good helper and hard worker !!! He’s just precious ❤️ You’ve trained him well, Mom & Dad !!! 😘😘

[@starhues7138]

It warms my heart to see your family: working as a team..each member giving it a 100%: the boys learning true respect for their parents’ hard work because they are part of it. AWESOME 👍🏼

[@rubberdc]

I understand now what you are saying , I suggested you build a house without the knowledge that you didnt want to have the debt of that hanging over you and for that I apologise for such a silly comment. I admire the two of you for dealing with this your way and without debt , its easy to get in debt and very difficult to get out of it .

[@sam-and-angela]

No need to apologize!!! :) This is what we're doing now, never know what the future holds... we think we would enjoy very much building our own home... who knows, maybe we'll get there!

[@allthenuts9179]

I purchased a repossesed double wide mobile home and ripped it down to the studs and started over. Once I'm done with it (inside and out) it will be exactly what I want, down to the light fixtures, all while remaining debt free. I commend you all for choosing this route, I only wish I had done it sooner.

[@brendakilberg5727]

I am really enjoying watching your progress. And your sons are little troopers! Looking forward to what's next!

[@b.powell3480]

You can move the vent over so you can put in a full size tub unit !

[@sandraanddelgray3180]

I agree 100% no debt living is the way to go, you're doing a great job guys.

[@lindaschoolcraft8536]

Love watching you guys. You were made for each other! Such a beautiful family doing a wonderful remodel. I love mobile homes. I cried when I had to move out of my last one, a 12 x 70, into this old farm house with lots of problems. That was in 1976.....still here and still have a lot of problems....lol. God’s blessings to you and your family.

[@tblair1642]

I was smiling while watching, been there - done that!

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Sam Angela & kids, nice video.So great to see your son helping & learning.👏👍

[@cherylt8590]

You guys are doing such a wonderful job,that when your done you can Remodel my mobile home lol,nice video enjoyed watching you guys working and having fun while your doing it😆👍😊...

[@leahstaska2515]

Way to go Elijah !!

[@dixien6601]

Hey guys!! Great job! Love watching you! My husband&I are DIYers too. Saves a lot of money! We have no mortgages either. You might want to consider a mini-split system for heating& cooling your home. Very efficient and I would bet Sam could install it himself and save a lot of money. ❤️

[@crus5112]

I totally relate!! We live in the home my husbands father built in 1940. So just imagine all the things that come up that we have to do. BUT we have NO MORTGAGE!! Such a blessing. So we will continue to do whatever up keep that comes along. We have been blessed with a very sturdy home during hurricanes, we live 1 mile from the gulf coast here in Mississippi. We replaced he wood on the walls and put up drywall and the learned the studs are cedar and the floor joist are creosote timbers. I guess back them they used what they had.

[@christelstrifler7799]

You seem to be having a lot more fun than I did during my master bathroom.

[@theropesofrenovation]

I'm laughing so hard. When I re-did my bath on my channel, I had a huge mouse nest too. It had all kinds of fake flowers in it. It was kinda cute but glad it's gone! Gave me the heebie jeebies. I agree with Angela about being mortgage free. Yay!!!

[@marilynbrewer1029]

I think you are a smart couple paying as you go that is a great thing to teach your kids keep up the great job

[@rebeccamcallister8038]

I love how you are giving Elijah the opportunity to take ownership in his room. He is gaining skills that he will have forever. I appreciate how you step back and let him try, while not expecting perfection! Yea for your excellent parenting!

[@connieverbeck1110]

I’m thinking somebody wants his new bedroom. LOL. It is great he is learning to do diy!! Can’t wait to see your project!! Makes me think of a family I know that they decided they wanted a hot tub. Well if they do that they need to rebuild the deck. Do they just do under the tub or the whole deck? Well, if they do that they need to......that kept up until they decided they couldn’t afford a hot tub. Lol

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Debt free is pure BLISS. Good for you. xxxx

[@jshink5038]

I enjoy watching you two and how you are handling this project. I like the idea of doing it paycheck to paycheck. That always the way my wife and I have done it. It is very rewarding and cost effective. Do it your way and who cares what people think.

[@admg1718]

I am a single mom of two boys who just bought my first house, a 1978 single wide which I am remodeling from the bones up by myself. The project creep is exactly what is happening and I’m so happy to have a super accurate term for it now. I am very thankful for finding these videos and have really enjoyed listening and learning from your experiences as I’m actively going through them. Can’t wait to see how it turns out 💜

[@gmflower]

Great Job! Love being outa debt also.. always avoided using credit cards. If I cant afford it today why would I think I can tomorrow? Great creping all.. Aliza i think did the best!

[@jackiegardner7483]

Good job on the demolition 👍

[@traceycallard7193]

Gooooo Elijah! Fantastic job ☺️ So looking forward to seeing yours and your brother’s new room. Love watching your channel Sam and Angela 🇬🇧

[@mjrehwalt46]

You kids are the cutest family ever! I really enjoy you all. Personality to the nth degree.

[@brendachristian-miller2157]

Can't wait to see it all come together. You three are such great workers. Great job.

[@MarkkuHyle]

Good job everyone. So as always renovation can grow bigger like your now. Keep up the good work , God bless you all. Have a nice weekend

[@charlotteforrester3118]

It is going to look amazing when y’all are done! I enjoy watching y’all. It is entertaining as well as informative! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dougpeterson5257]

I agree that debt is a heavy load to carry. I just completed a project that had some creep so I understand it completely.
