WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOME + EMPTY HOUSE TOUR (CAPE COD STYLE HOUSE)!

[@diyhuntress]

I am SO STOKED to finally be a homeowner and and I cannot WAIT to get started on making this house our HOME. Thank you all so much for supporting what I do and helping me follow my dreams every single day. This could not have been possible without YOU. 💕 What project are you most excited to see come to life!? Let me know!

[@jaynedavies2757]

god it's going to take a lot of work, but it's great news😀

[@GM_____]

Congratulations 🎉 I can’t wait to see what cool ways you’ll personalize your new home.

[@HomesWeLove]

Congratulations 💥💥 This house is so sweet and has so much potential

[@kathe9342]

That wall you want to tear down looks like a supporting wall. You would have to get a big beam I think to take the weight. The house looks cozy and very nice. Congratulations and good look!

[@ChristyJames]

Can’t wait to see how you transform it...and that workshop??? The best!!

[@Phil-cl5dl]

Congratulations on your first home purchase and look forward to seeing your plans to make it your own. Well done

[@robertevans6481]

See good things come to those who wait. But the most delicious miter station,lol...i nearly fell off my chair with that one. But seriously congrats on the new place...

[@jeremyspecce]

My wife overheard that and said “did she say ‘Hot Sauce Station?’” 🤣

[@BiologieMe]

Oooo! Wow! Congratulations on the new home. Your excitement is infectious and makes me feel so happy, I wish you and your partner best wishes in this new stage of life!

[@justg1226]

Hands rubbing together gleefully. Let the Diy games begin!

[@SeaTurtle515]

Congrats! First home, very exciting!

[@kjw6156]

Congratulations to my Favorite FLOWER GIRL & DIY GIRL and Chris too. Cant wait for more tours

[@JackKirbyFan]

Sam, I remember our first house. Oh it was an adventure. A few days into it, the line from the old oil tank for the furnace burst and flooded our unfinished basement. This was country living and the volunteer fire department suggested a tent to sleep in since furnace oil - STINKS. Fortunately the oil company came in and pumped out the basement. Sigh. However, it was still amazing to have your own home. On another note, can you cover how to spot a load bearing wall. That came up since you are tearing down a wall. Again, congrats. What a terrific thing it is to have a home. Now you can increase your Vans collection :)

[@augustineschaefer5522]

I really enjoy watching people work on their own spaces. The creativity is so different when it’s for ourselves. Also I really like the jumping off points. I’m excited to learn basic wood jointery and noodle through my next project. Thanks to all the creators out there who diy in a 20-30 minute video. I like watching these as I sand for the 14th time or whatever I eventually weeks later finish.

[@Dualex_Builds]

Congratulations on that house I’m very excited to see how the workshop looks once you set it up. I’m sure it’s going to be nice to finally have more space to build in

[@diyhuntress]

Thanks, my dude! So much room for activities! 😍

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Congrats Sam!!! I’m so happy and excited for you and proud of you all at the same time! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you do in here and bring out of here. Cheering you on, friend!! 😘😘

[@averagejoesworkshop]

I’m looking forward to following the renovation journey! For the shop walls, think osb or plywood for the second layer. It allows you to hang things wherever rather than being limited to stud locations.

[@diyhuntress]

Love this idea! Can’t wait to get started!

[@mrmyblessednest1722]

I did that very thing in my one car garage! Stripped the plaster off, insulated and put up plywood!!

[@robw5088]

Congrats Sam!! I remember 4 years ago the struggle I went through trying to buy a home, lots of tears. Once I did there was so much work involved to take a 75 year old home and bring it in to the 2020's. Every moment was worth it! Cant wait to see all the videos you will put out over the next few years as you guys grow in your new place.

[@stefanocalio9]

Congratulations Sam! My girlfriend and I also bought out first house a few months ago and your videos have inspired me to take over one of the backyard sheds and make it a small woodworking shop. Can definitely confirm that it's the best of feelings, finally having your place and make it yours with things you build yourself 🙂 Can't wait for new videos and new ideas from the new house!

[@ogsan1296]

Congratulations.....You home is beautiful. I cant wait to see what you do with it. Your workshop is gonna be EPIC !!!!!! Being a fellow NYKr who left LI, you made me so proud of you. Makes me wanna move back. Peeking at homes as we speak. I wish you and your sweetie the absolute best and enjoy your journey. Remember to chew on that elephant piece by piece. Get the house in order then create your dream work shop. Again, very proud of you,your channel and your wood working craftmanship. Keep doing your thing Girl.....

[@jerritanner275]

Congratulations!!! It’s an adorable house with so much potential. Your fist home is very special. You’ll be doing something very mundane, like loading the dishwasher, then realize it’s yours & your heart will swell with pride. 💖 25+ years & 4 larger, more expensive houses later & I’m still in love with my first home. 💖

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you so much! I am so, so excited. Had that moment in there with my dad a few days ago when my brother called and he said, “I’m at Sam’s house”’ on the phone. It feels surreal. 😭

[@noeldeweese4975]

So, so cool Sam. Congratulations on your new shop and the accessory house. Can’t wait to see what you do to make it yours. The sacrilege of laminate over hardwoods. Oh the humanity. 🙃

[@chunkytfg]

Loving all the House Reno series' that have been popping up on YT since C-19 hit. The prospect of a 'Pain Cave' makeover is pushing yours up to the top of favourites. Cannot wait to see what you do with everything

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Long Island!!! Woo hoo! Congratulations and welcome to the world of owning your own home. The best thing of owning your own bone is you can do ANYTHING you want to it. Love making stuff and displaying it around and inside the property. Enjoy! And if we live close enough, introduce yourself by bringing over some sawdust. 🤣

[@jessicahites871]

CONGRATULATIONS!! Your 1st house YAY!! It looks like the perfect place for you guys!! So so happy for you!! Can't wait to see what you have in garage for us!!😁

[@carloszarate2293]

Congratulations on the house. Even though the first house fell through, this house was meant to be yours and everything happens for a reason in life. The beauty of cape houses is that there’s so much you can do to them. Many of the homes on LI have been converted. The garage shop is awesome. Looking forward to the projects you have planned for the house and shop.

[@jeremyspecce]

Congrats guys! Great news! I see a Mr. Cool sponsorship in your future. Our house is from the same era and we wound up replacing all of the wiring due to aluminum wiring we didn’t like. With one floor and an unfinished basement it’s not too bad if you have to do it.

[@diyhuntress]

I’d love that so much! I’m definitely going to be removing the wall units.

[@FaisOniko]

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! I encourage you to invest in some lead test strips. My partner and I also bought a house from the 1950s and a lot of our plans had to change because we learned our house has been painted with lead paint. Safety first!

[@andreawalker7138]

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to watch the videos of all the projects you will do. When you said the basement was unfinished I was expecting a dark, damp place with a dirt floor, lol.

[@pama.6410]

Congratulations! Just came from your diy with Danie of the live oak table. Bet she is a little jealous of your workspace! Have fun remodelling and making the home your own!

[@egonzy4473]

You know what this means! More videos of you renovating 🙌🙌. Can’t wait!!!

[@roberthall9680]

Congrats, Sam! You will at times feel overwhelmed by how much you want to accomplish vs how much time and money you have, but just go at a steady pace knowing that you don't have to get everything done at once.

[@EchoamysDoghouse]

Congratulations! I bet there was a gorgeous vintage bathroom that was torn out in the last renovation. It would be cool to put it back in some way.

[@mrmyblessednest1722]

Sam, I also think it would be a good idea to consider a mini split heat/AC unit. I’ve been looking at them for my 1 car garage shop

[@guangmin]

Wow! Sam, I am very happy for you and I am almost teared up.Congratulations for a new chapter in life!

[@diyhuntress]

You’re so awesome - thank you! 💓

[@kendrapetrick649]

I put laminate over hardwood in my 50s cape. I loved them but they were getting destroyed by kids and dogs. But we can always uncover them later or the next owner can.

[@Pix585]

Congratulations! I can't wait to see all of your projects and how you make your house a home.

[@ctiernan21]

As a fellow long islander who just bought a cape, cant wait to see what you do to yours

[@hansdegroot8549]

My first reaction came after 2 minutes watching your video on my smartphone. I just "had to" to congratulate you very shortly that very moment, because typing something on a smartphone is for me typing three characters and making four mistakes in.it. But watching videos on it is OK. So after watching the video straight after my comment (and watching the video now partly again) i finally can write a "real" comment. I'm so happy for you both. You are busy with so many things at the moment. It's unbelievable. I'm looking forward to seeing all your home improvement projects.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Congrats! Well deserved, you folks worked hard for it. My shop is my garage too but we never garage any vehicles in it. Been thinking about replacing the roll up garage door with french doors. Better for lighting and storage space overhead. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@paulstephenson783]

Hallelujah at last your own place and workshop 🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇 I'm so happy for you looking forward to the next video ❤💋💋💋

Wishing you guys the beginning of great memories in your new home!!

[@nBookMark]

My husband and got our commitment today, we would be excited but this is the third house that we’ve gone through this process with! We are also in Long Island. It’s been one hell of journey but both homes we’ve been in contract with could not get their tenants out and we had to pull out. This time around we got approved for a grant which has been a whole other difficult process. Praying it all works out and we will be in our home soon.

[@nBookMark]

Congratulations!! I recently found your channel and have been watching back through the years. It’s so exciting for you to have a place of your own to be working on. No longer having to have a landlord be against having an accent wall or new paint! (Also look into canless led ceiling lights for your dark hallway without lights. We just put a couple in our low hallway ceilings that also didn’t have ceiling lights and they’re wonderful, and don’t need a ton of space either)
