Hello, Margaret! Your hair looks fantastic! You are absolutely beautiful! The happiness in your heart is shining through! I know all the work has started and the end is in sight. How thrilling this must be for you. I'm very happy for you. It's interesting to watch as this progresses. It's a lot of work. I believe you're going to love it. I've been off the grid for a few days. Worst storm in my life, but it's over and the power is back on and, whew! I was so lucky to escape the damage. My gratitude level has shot up through the ceiling. ~ Twirls! ~ This is short, but I'm happy to still be here. Enjoy the day. I know I will. 💕💕💕

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

So glad to see your post and relieved that all is well.

[@joanpotanko6351]

Thanks for sharing this with us Margaret. It is exciting to see what they are doing. I know you are so excited. You will be in your new home before you know it.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Fingers crossed!

[@jeanjacobs9965]

Greetings Margaret! This is all so exciting!! I know you must be thrilled. Love and blessings ♥️🙏

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

I am over the moon.

[@deborahgoldman8630]

It’s so interesting to watch the build take place! I didn’t know I would enjoy it as much as I did! And you know I learned something about our sons, even if they give you an out, they really do want your help! Thanks for that cause you’re right they won’t ask. I’m very excited for you Margaret and for your son’s family as well. It’s a shame us viewers can’t be there in person to celebrate with you!! ❤

My daughter recently put an in-ground pool in her year. They found TONS of buried tree roots - cost her over $5,000to get them removed and disposed of. They weren’t expecting that!

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

wow!

[@tinasteer2507]

It’s all the unexpected things that kills the budget.

[@dloveofgod8269]

This is magnificent Margaret!! The guys getting the trees & dirt, soil were fantastic; we need this type of gumption here in western NC where our towns are dissimated- is that a word? Catastrophic here though I'm good my tiny town is recovering from Helene & a road is now open. Others not so good. You, your family & these guys have work ethic. Off my soapbox. Thank you for another great video. 💕

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Hope your people step it up for everyone trying to recover

[@dorenecatella3328]

Wow Margaret! That went quick, your home will be built in no time. Amazing how quick a home can go up. Thanks for sharing this journey ❤

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

You are so welcome!

[@roymavistanner8399]

I love watching all the steps and processes involved with prep and progress of building. Amazing to see all the equipment and how fast things can happen when you have the pros there. I've been watching all that with MY next door neighbour this summer as they have built a huge garage to fit his boat, plus a breezeway and added large sunroom to the back of his house. YOUR neighbours would be finding it interesting to watch too! Everything looks so good Margaret, and so exciting to see it coming together step by step! Do I dare to say you might be in by Christmas, or even before?! Great entertainment for Squish too! Looking forward to the next video! :) ~M~

The tree root ball gave me chills. To many trees fell over here in SC due to excess rain then wind with hurricane. Several of the root ball in neighborhood where over 6feet tall laying down

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Wow!

[@willowgirl2635]

Looking amazing, thanks for sharing the progress.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

So nice of you

[@NanaGigi2025]

There's nothing like watching the progress n participating in your home being built or remodel. Yes there's headaches in between but the joy in ones heart is so spectacular when it's finished. So excited for y'all. Looking forward to the next video. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

So true!

[@BobbieJeanM]

That’s so exciting! Maybe because I grew up with a father who was always building or adding on, I loved watching this. Technology is amazing and I know the workers appreciate not having to wheelbarrow all that concrete from the truck! Probably why concrete blocks were used to build walls years ago and only the foundation was poured. Squish must be loving the lights, beeps and activity…better than TV! 👏👍💕

[@teresadoyle1396]

I watched this earlier today on the TV so I had to watch it again on here and give you a thumbs up!👍 This is so exciting! I’m 65 and have always been interested in building and anyone’s projects in general. I don’t need to know someone personally to be happy for them and I am completely thrilled for you!

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thank you so much!!

[@JacquelynHerron]

Fun to follow! Looking good.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

thank you.

[@elizabethmeyer1529]

Love watching you get in there and doing it yourself. Great video! ❤

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thank you!! 😊

[@gaiagirl747]

I’m so happy and excited for you Margaret, I know this is a blessing for you to see this developing. Looking forward to the progress and you moving in.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thanks!

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thanks!

[@sheryltisdale]

So happy for you Margaret!

[@MarianCalgary]

This is very exciting!

[@dollydaydream5839]

How exciting!! And the weather has been kind to you too ,when we had foundations done for our conservatory it rained and snowed but apparently concrete can set even under water!

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Wow!

[@BetsAnderson]

Awesome. I love it! I'm so very happy for you!

[@saclassic4able]

So interesting Margaret. Thanks for sharing.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joanstrader4243]

It’s really coming along. So happy you are sharing this journey with us. I love watching how things are built. Thanks again 😊

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@doloresnash287]

Exciting!! I didn't realize it was going to have a basement too?

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

with access from their house and outside entry. I didn’t want access from my house.

[@lisalisa8256]

Love this series! Best thing on KZbin!,😍

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Wow, thanks!

[@BR-kk9qu]

I’m so excited about your beautiful new home! - Belinda

[@judyblakely7450]

I can’t believe how fast they’re getting the job started. Looks like you picked a great contractor. Exciting!❤️

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

They are!

[@MIMI-D]

So excited for you. That’s amazing we use concrete block here that seems so much labor intensive. I wonder why we don’t pour the concrete like that.

[@tamt5846]

Woo-hoo!! So exciting! 💕

[@carolmcqueen3497]

I so enjoy watching this. I feel the excitement.

[@RoroIsEpicGuy]

I feel like you would be really good at making a short movie or a series with different characters and just a really cool story, idk why I’m getting that vibe

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

lol. are you wonderful. How is school going?

[@RoroIsEpicGuy]

@@MargaretbeingMargaret to much homework

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

lol. Always.

[@pennieobrien204]

so exciting!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Maybe you'll be in there by the New Year or hey let's be optimistic, Christmas!!

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

I hope so too!

[@jillcarlson2076]

Messy...beautiful! They are moving right along! Thank goodness for beautiful weather! We here in Florida are looking at another hurricane! Milton this coming week! Ugh 😩

[@jillcarlson2076]

This is October 5th today

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

oh no!

[@hildatyburczy8221]

Oh Margaret, so exciting! I love watching the progress on your house and Niki & Michael’s addition! All will be wonderful when finished and you all get to settle in. I saw the little hands she must be so excited watching with you! Have a great day….❤

[@nancygreen217]

Fun to see & amazing how they do this, mules used to do the work the machines now do…poor things were so overworked.

[@debismith2802]

Oh how exciting!!! Happy it's seems to be going fast!!

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

I know!!

[@MarchandP]

A beautiful mess! Good for you!❤

[@jillcarlson2076]

Great! Yippee! 🙌💗

[@JerseyGirl50]

My grandson would have been out there with a chair watching everything!

[@dietlinderobinson9625]

I hope she remembers Oma’s house being built ,very interesting for her .Also interesting for us .xxxx

[@tinasteer2507]

You don’t have to provide Squish with entertainment while this is going on. The foundation cement dries quicker with the form work removed.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thanks for the info!

[@tamaraclymer]

I love how much progress they made this week! Quick question... will you have a garage for your car? I heard you say that you would pull around to the side, but I couldn't quite tell if you will have a garage as well? Enjoy the construction process... you'll be in your new home before you know it! :)

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

No. My New England yankee pride doesn’t want one. 🤦‍♀️

[@dloveofgod8269]

Yay Margaret!

[@andreagardner2335]

Karen and I have the same birthday. 71 for me.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Happy Birthday!
