Erin seems like she would be a person you would want as a best friend, she is so great

[@kimgiles8927]

I Agree she seems like a real sweetheart.

[@jonimosteller8031]

You two are a marriage made in heaven. So fun to watch people who love each other❤️💜

[@msterezz]

What I love is how Ben can just walk by a woodpile and make total magic happen. He makes the most beautiful home projects out of what looks like pieces of junk; butcher block tables, all kinds of things. Worth watching the show just for that.

[@ORSkie]

Yes!

[@deemariedubois4916]

I love Ben and Erin. The houses they rescue for each family are in need but this couple fills that need turning each into a home.

[@laurend.tamayo2186]

Love these two, they are so down to earth and very talented. Over the years I've watched quite a few shows like this but these two are the best!

[@dave434]

I'm grown man, And I love to watch these two. Down to earth and Just Good People and They know what there doing! I got little teary eyed watching this and Seeing how happy this young couple was and what a Beautiful Home they now have....

[@Gromobran]

Of course you love to watch it, this is not kids show 🙂

[@Lulis56]

This was hilarious! “Get a pantry!” I love you guys! I really like how you guys keep the good parts of homes instead of trashing it like other flippers!

[@eattherich9215]

I hate how 'Flip or flop' automatically reach for the sledgehammer. Occasionally, Christina will spot something of value like the 50's turquoise built in oven from one episode. Tarek would have just thrown it in the skip.

[@VioletJoy]

This was not only a home run, but a grand slam!!! That platform for the bed upstairs! Wow!!

[@leovenus2782]

This show’s couple do such amazing work! I’m always blown away by the care and detail that they put into each home. Truly they are born to do what they do.

[@susanminer2088]

I love how Ben always find parts of the house to make an awesome build, or use elsewhere in the house.

[@carolezera4221]

I love every thing about this couple. They care about the family not just how much they'll make. They have a great family also. So in love and happy. Amazing how much they get done with the budget of the couple compared to the other shows that take the whole budget and the couple dont get all they asked for. I don't understand how it works but i always said if I was lucky to have a house redone I would want Ben and Erin to do it.

[@miriaml.150]

What incredible talent...and with such a big heart! Wow. This brought me to tears. I could feel that this was Home Sweet Home. I would say this is award winning if there's an award for home makeovers. I hope this sweet couple enjoys their new, beautiful home in good health. 😇👪 💖

[@shellydehart8217]

Love this house but then again I love everything n I mean everything that Ben n Erin do to the homes they renovate. The porch was gorgeous, so big. If my husband n I were a few year younger I would love to move to Laurel Mississippi n have Ben n Erin do over a home for us. They make a great team n their work is priceless. We maybe getting older to move to another state n I would of probably have done it until I realized they get tornadoes there. Can’t handle that. Hurricanes I can in my state , u e got time to prepare for it. Love watching Home Town n can’t wait for new season. ♥️♥️😊👍

[@TheTonialadd]

I wish HGTV would help people who live in single wide trailers remodel their homes. I hate my floor plan! I can’t use half of my cabinets. Guess I should be grateful. I used to be homeless.

[@teresas683]

TheTonialadd look on pinterest - there are loads of great ideas!

[@tommiejones1072]

Mobile homes are Homes! They can be remodeled and improved and be beautiful. A home can be many types of buildings, the important things is that it is a home.

[@zzydny]

I lived in an old 1960's singlewide for more than a decade, so I learned a few tricks about how to deal with the limitations. Even if you hate your floorplan, there's still stuff you can do. The most important thing I discovered was to look up because that's where you can make more space: I put shelves over the doors (doors are where you are gonna find wall studs easily) and above head-height in a small hallway. I covered boxes with pretty paper to put on the shelves and this increased my storage substantially, but simply and with low cost. If you can't use your cabinets, maybe you can take some of the doors off. This is something I did with a cabinet that just didn't work for me. I painted the cabinet inside and out so it would look nice, and I was able to store things neatly. Actually, I've lived a bunch of inconvenient awkward awful places (hey, I'm old; I've moved a lot of times) so I knwo that there's always something you can do. Rule number one: the only thing in life that you can really change is your own mind. So stop hating the place; find quirky things that you can have fun with and then it will start smiling back at you--that's when it feels like home. Just start small and use what you have on hand. You can do this!

[@Wayniesgirl]

@@zzydny Great reply!! Nifty you 😁

[@zzydny]

@@Wayniesgirl Thanks. As the child of Depression Era parents, I was taught the old saying "use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without" and I still believe that is one of the best things to know. There is always something that we can do; we just have to convince ourselves that we can and that we should.

Yes, they are extremely talented in remodeling homes . Ben is the best furniture builder I have ever seen. Erin is excellent at she decorating and art work. Helen is the cutest little girl and her southern accent is absolutely adorable.

I love this house. One of my favourite things about the house itself is that there is a reception hall. Such a warm welcome

[@louisaziz1235]

''Back in the day...'' Before modern refrigeration, when there was only an ''ice box'' and the ice man would deliver a block of ice to keep your meat cold, the houses had a '' cooler cabinet'' which was a narrow, floor-to-ceiling cabinet with a screen on the floor and the ceiling. The opening went from the basement to the attic. There were slotted shelves and cooler air would circulate keeping the butter, cheeses, bacon, etc. cool. Ingenuity was a definate necessity.Things have certainly progressed since then.

[@wendywheeler9344]

Surely that "pantry" in their kitchen was originally built as part of a dumbwaiter?

[@TheArielski]

Exactly. I had one in my kitchen before its remodel.

[@tallblonde1976]

Wendy Wheeler---Laura Wheeler here - asking for definition of dumb waiter thanks!

[@luv2dancesalsa]

@@tallblonde1976 A way to get THINGS (not people) up and down... usually FOOD... and, usually for servants to use. And I hope you actually take the time to read about them and their history.

[@Tracy137]

@@luv2dancesalsa - My Irish grandparents and my Great grandparents on my Irish granddad's side all lived in the two flats above their stationery shop in Co. Cork. There was a dumb waiter from the shop floor that went up to the kitchen both flats shared (the kitchen was above the shop and had a storeroom for the shop there), and the up to the two flats above it. That way things from the shop or to the shop could be sent up and down (along with notes as well!) without the aging residents (or small children when my father and aunt were growing up) trailing up and down MANY flights of stairs. Likewise hot drinks/food could be sent down the shop floor for those working during the day, or up to the two flats. It was probably THE most useful thing in the whole building and was kept in tip top condition because without it they would've all been forced to go up and down the stairs a million times a day for every little thing. Sadly my great grandparents died before I was six and the business was sold, my grandparents moving out of the city in their retirement. So I only have vague memories of my own of the dumb waiter. I do remember a story of me getting stuck in it though! Apparently I was called, with fondness a 'rapskallion' by my late grandmother at four, before graduating to a less fond 'little hellion' by age eight! The former means little mischief maker, the latter means leader of trouble....I wore both names with pride as the only girl in a family of male cousins until I was 12! XD XD

[@wendywheeler9344]

@@tallblonde1976 These are closet-sized vertical passages built into walls that connect the kitchen to rooms upstairs. You put a tray of food in them then pull the rope to make it ascend where the butler gets it and delivers it (to the dining room, etc.)
