If you are putting a door into the living room you want the light switch on the side without the hinges. You don’t want to walk into the room and have to close the door to turn the lights on! Crispy bacon is the best no floppy bacon!

[@niko_walks]

Trent is definitely a builder . . I was a framing carpenter for seven years and I couldn't plumb or do electrical or drive heavy machinery . . he's a "Trent of all Trades"

[@eusebiotravissevilla6508]

Trent is correct about the light switches and dead wrong about his bacon 😂

[@grannykimmy]

Totally I think of the guy in Dances with Wolves with the raw bacon. Lol

[@jaredmonson377]

Allie, a the rule of thumb is: when you stay up with the baby at night, you also take naps in the day when the baby naps. Enjoy being a mother and enjoy a nap!

[@nancyq1802]

Billy is so adorable sleeping in the bed with his hands up by his head. Leo is getting so big. Love his energy.

[@my2cworth4U]

Trent reminds me so much of my father - an electrician one minute, a plumber the next, then a roofer, then a motor mechanic, then a plasterer, a tiler, then a carpenter. It's a fascinating life as a child, to watch all those trades (and more) in one person - daily. Very exciting actually and comforting to know your father can fix anything. (But very hard to find a husband with the same abilities.)❤

[@elgringoec]

😂 my daughter got me a mug, "if Dad can't fix it we are all screwed" It's not hard to do all that stuff, you just have to think it's important enough to bother. Most guys would rather put all kinds of brain resources into memorizing football stats so they can appear "learned" with their other narrowly skilled friends. I teach my daughter to do useful stuff and because her husband won't learn to be handy she assigns him duties like cleaning and organizing and shuttling the kids to and from games and school, etc. Almost a role reversal, at least in part. He still brings the paychecks. But of course I have to fix, maintain, and build everything. So I go help her out while I still can.

[@my2cworth4U]

@elgringoec That's great. My father helped me out for quite a few years after marriage, but I tended to take over then as he had taught me to do so many things. He should have had a son. I renovated every house I owned. And some I didn't. Loved it. Still try at 77 l, but it's a lot harder now.

[@consuelodelagarza2180]

[@karenchesser6348]

It is so hard to imagine that Leo used to be that little. I agree with Allie, bacon should be crispy!😊

[@lindajewell8921]

You should get a piece of lumber and attach it to the wall to mark the boys height. When my daughter sold their house they were so sad to leave that behind. Her kids were almost grown but that was always a regret. When they moved in they didn’t anticipate ever moving.

[@TomLloyd-18]

Well, because in this video it has been confirmed that Trent is "a builder" . . . he could certainly remove and replace that piece of door trim if and when they ever sell this home.

[@Janer-52]

So glad that final tub pipe sat correctly. Building a house is a chore, correcting mistakes is a bore. Doing it right is a SCORE!

[@doctorbills790]

No he did it wrong...the pipe to use goes over the OUTSIDE of the floor mount... not the inside!

[@elgringoec]

​@@doctorbills790 From here it looks like a combo fitting which is a 2" spigot as well as a 1.5" hub.

My favorite way to cook crispy bacon is in the air fryer on 400 degrees for 8 minutes! Perfecto!

When my husband and I bought our first and only home,it was only 690 square feet. Some years past and we added an 18×20 room on. The contractor finished all of his rough in on Christmas eve day. That evening we put a heater out there to warm it up and we set up the Christmas tree,out our couch and chairs out and enjoyholidayChristmas season. After the holidays were cover,we spent everything evening and weekend working on that rooms, electrial, heating and cooling, insulation,drywall,paint and flooring. That will be a Christmas I'll never forget!!!

[@irenepierce167]

Hello!!! I don't know if you will see this Allie, but here goes... Next time you want to make bacon try this. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Set oven to 400. Line the pan with desired amount of strips. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes. Check periodically since all ovens may be different. Perfect bacon, no mess, no fuss, and way less clean up. I have shared this with lots of family and friends. As far as I know they ALL do it this way now. Your Welcome..... Hope you see this post. ❤❤❤❤

I am a great grandmother and I’ve kept track of grandkids growth on the inside of a closet door using a line of painters tape for each child. I just remeasured the two great grand kids at their instance. Even the older grandkids enjoy looking at their increase in heights.

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Me and my house ALL go for crispy bacon..and I'm left handed, but I live in a house with switches on no particular side, so no matter which side coming thru a doorway, you get used to the location and use them as is, no big deal. With lights so high, I hope Trent remembered to install some electrical outlets in the floor for furniture that will NOT be against the walls. The house is coming together beautifully. THANKS for sharing.

[@SFoureman]

The morning routine today, reminded me of the Van Day mornings. Somehow, watching a "Slow Living" moment brings great inner joy and peace. I, too, was having my coffee and breakfast. ...watching the birds and squirrels outside with my kitties inside. Just curating space to take in deep breath work; watch something encouraging; read a devotional---to set the day's start with good intentions!❤

[@meiraloraduncan943]

Good morning! I used to sleep extremely well and deeply until I had multiple hospitalizations in 2010-2015 and I developed insomnia as a result. I'm lucky to sleep2-3 hours before waking up. If I hear anything I wake up and I rarely can go back to sleep. I have earplugs and a fan that help to block the noise which have helped a lot. The sunlight on Leo's hair really brought out the red tint in his hair. It will be interesting to see how it changes over the years. I learned something this weekend that might interest you and Trent. Apparently wasps and hornets are attracted to the smell of propane which was why they were going crazy to get into the vent and pipes going to the furnace and even the vent for the stove and oven and anything else that is run off the propane.

[@sheilacaine]

I would be giving Billy a little Rice cereal for his last feeding, either in his bottle or feeding him some. I would also be prepared with some prune juice incase he gets constipated but if you make it runny enough he should be fine. Babies are all different and he might need that extra.

[@wendyhall1395]

Cook the bacon for Trent, then put your pieces between paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds until they are your favorite crispy. :)

[@tinalafever1756]

Air fryer is a better way, lol

[@terrikopke3496]

I slept in my crib until I was 5. I was very petite, but knew the next move was sleeping with my sister. Was not ideal. Billy is the most chill baby I have witnessed in a very long time. You so got lucky on him, cute, sweet disposition and I do not remember hearing him cry. In a few years it will be interesting to see the interaction between the boys.

[@celinaquiros9381]

I don't eat bacon anymore, but when I was at a restaurant, I would always tell them to "BURN it." I didn't actually want burnt bacon, but if I didn't say that, I ALWAYS got it back with chewy bits that I couldn't chew and would wind up spitting out -- what a loss!! Glad you realized (for next time) that you can just keep cooking yours until it's how you want it. LOL!! You guys are so funny! Also, little Billy is looking JUST like Leo and it's the cutest, cutest, most precious! Brothers! Gotta love it!

[@kayamo1632]

My Mom did daycare in her home for more than 32 years. She always told me that babies who slept with their hands up by their heads, like Billy was doing in your opening shots, were incredibly healthy. I have no idea if that’s true or a wives tale, but my heart melted when I saw him sleeping like that. I lost my Mom just over two years ago. Thank you for the memory.

Allie, I’m with you on the crispy bacon. I had to laugh, there was a moment on this video that Trent reminded me of Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer…with his ski cap and beard…lol

[@LynneCarey]

Hey Allie, as a Mum of 5 (now adult) children, as an ex Nursing Mother's Counselor (In Australia), and a retired nurse, I can say that it's normal for Billy to go through periods of change in routine. Some people suggest adding some solid food. That's not my suggestion if you wish to keep fully breast feeding for a long period. Once you start to introduce other foods you have started the weaning process. Obviously, that's fine if that's what you want to do. If you don't though, you can try feeding a bit more often during his wake times, this will help to increase your milk supply (supply and demand - the more demand, the more milk you will make). Again, this is normal to go through adjustment periods especially in the first 6-9 months. It's tough having to get through the lack of sleep issues. I ended up doing 12 years of that, so I certainly understand. You are doing a phenomenal job as a Mum and it's great you have some help from Jennifer. Sending hugs. 🤗

[@debliedel]

Allie, you live in the woods! You have moved in to their habitat! Get used to critters on the roof. ! LOL!

[@beany530]

Don’t know what your views are on feeding solids, Allie, but I would start feeding Billy something to fill him up more before bed time. My third kid was 9 1/2 lbs and I started feeding solids earlier than my other two and it worked a charm. ❤

[@joyceanthony-huff2914]

We fed my son solids early. He never slept well. Not until he was 2 years old

[@elgringoec]

Six months, then start slowly, introducing one item at a time. Avocado is a good start. Banana, berries - it's just supplemental to the breast milk which should go a year, two if possible.

[@yankey4]

[@davidgiffen6349]

This could have been my post except I’m either a different generation or you had more sympathetic parents. My mother trained me not to get out of bed or cry out when it was dark outside even before I could read. I do remember waiting for my parents to go to bed so that I could turn on a light to read.

[@SteampunkSteve]

@davidgiffen6349 i was born in 1953 and have always been quiet. I remember watching both movies at the drive in and after midnight helping my parents bring blankets and pillows into the house while they carried my siblings in. Then getting up before 6 to wait for the test pattern to go off and Felix the Cat to come on. As an adult I liked working the graveyard shift and being awake when the sun came up.

Loved hearing Greyson joking, very cool. Allie you may have to grab a nap or two if possible if Billies sleep disruption continues, and maybe a little solid food at night for him soon to help him sleep. Loved letting Leo sleep in his crib. It may not be "a mountain you need to fight" and it fosters a better relationship with Billy by not being so displaced too. Very uplifting to watch your family grow. Thanks for sharing,

[@dereknash3638]

I’m in the UK, if you want crispy bacon you buy streaky bacon which are strips of bacon which has streaks of fat, my preference is rashers of un smoked back bacon very little fat. Crispy bacon is over cooked. Have been go on a cruise on American ship which obviously cater for Americans, not impressed with way they fry bacon

[@Wdeane1957]

As another person who likes bacon with almost no fat (called short-cut bacon here in Australia), the way many Americans have their bacon crispy (cremated lol) just isn't nice to eat. It's too crumbly.

16:55 that is an inward opening LH door, so the switch has to be on the right. Also, you're looking into the room to your right, so the switch has to be on the right 😉

[@janpcs]

Otherwise you will always have to close the door or walk around it before you can turn on the light.

[@Tom-ei8ly]

That is only an opening from a hallway into the room. There will be no door. That is what started the whole question of which side, as if there was a door they would obviously put it on the correct side, but without a door, there is a choice.
