Dougism #123 "I'm not messing with this wall just yet because, well, I don't want to." Straight to the point. Another job well done!
We should as subs and fans start 'The Book of Dougisms' :D
"I've been thinking, and that causes trouble." LOL
Did anyone else cheer out loud when Doug turned the water tank on to fill up? LOL
Yay!! I couldn't click fast enough!!!
In my eyes Doug,for an amateur,you're a bit of a genius.Well done.
This is why HGTV better get off their hiney's and give them a TV SHOW...they are so much more interesting than the people they have hosting their current shows...I want REAL people like Doug and Ashley...
I have never been so excited to see someone get hot water running. The suspense was killing me!😆 You are doing such a good job. You will have such a solid and warm home this winter.
"I've been thinking.....and that causes trouble". I'm right there with you Doug! 😂
You know, your kids are going to grow up thinking it's ordinary to build, plumb, wire, and finish your own house when it's actually not. You should make sure to tell them every day how awesome you are. ;)
Wooooo hooooo!!!!! I am so impressed I can't hardly stand it 😁 I need a Doug in my life. If you find one standing around send him my way 😉 I know how awesome a hot shower feels after just a few days with a water heater in disrepair. No one would blame you if you stay in there until the hot water runs out! Such a thrill to watch the progress and to see the pride you take in your work. As always... thank you for taking us on your journey 💛
I really appreciate your home reno videos--I have learned so much from you! You explain everything so clearly and I love that you don't mind sharing the mistakes you learned from. I am looking forward to your family's beautiful "new" home!
great job!!! Ashley your a trooper! I would have lost my mind without hot water! Things are starting to come together... looking good
I'm sure that first hot shower felt great after being without so many days... Will be worth all the sacrifices once done for sure.
Thinking can definitely cause issues.... 😂😂😂 I just saw you linked our channel at the end.. wow!! Thanks!! I’ll tell you, I had a huge smile on my face at the end of all this.. I know just how GOOD it feels to get the water working again!! You did such a grade A job with all the plumbing 😃👍
I can vouch for that!!
You're welcome! We're happy to support your channel and hopefully the end screen gives your channel a boost :)
DIYfferent it most definitely will!! Thanks
It's cool to see you here ! Your channel and theirs are part of my favourites. All my condolences for your family loss, and congrats for the bathroom floor heating :)
Ooooo another channel courtesy of Doug & Ashley?!?!?! Should be good !!! Subscribing even before I get a chance to watch! They haven't steered me wrong yet!! Can't wait to binge watch and get up to date!
Doug, I'm absolutely with you on skipping the tankless water heater. As always, you guys research the best products for your needs.
Marvellous day . Well done . These temporary hardships , ( dishwashing and personal washing conducted in cold misery ) turn into good family history and stories . Also into healthy pride gained through pitting yourself against difficulties . Your lives are very well lived .
Just wanted to let you know how much I really like you guys and your channel. You are so genuine and hard working. Doug seems to really know house building. There are so many channels I just cant watch cause the people are so animated and phony. Anyway you two have great kids and are so generous and kind. Cant wait till your next video!
Doug, my husband is very handy and knowledgeable like you are. The one thing is hates to do is plumbing. He has gotten much better over the years but it's been a struggle. Now, he can do plumbing without leaks. What you are doing is not easy. We have bought many fixer upper houses over the years, put blood, sweat and tears in them and sold them for a profit. Sometimes things go slowly, but they are done right. Great job to you and Ashley. Elaine from Florida.
Great job I know y’all will enjoy having water again . Praying that everything works out for you guys and it goes fast for y’all.
Man you are a bloody genius how the hell you figured all those pipes out and they look fantastic ,electrics,heaters,sockets drains then drywall -for me your a master builder,Keep safe you two in God.
Never apologize for rambling ... I like to hear what problems you run into and how you fixed them, and what you’re planning on doing next.
In repairing stuff and replacing things over the years, I can totally see the difference in how builders put up houses and how homeowners who CARE put their houses together. As always, thank you for letting us peek into your home remodel (or reBUILD, I guess). ❤️
I can’t wait to see the finished bathroom design. I love the simple designs you have been doing. Your house is going to be amazing!
Finally your reward at the end of all the hard work...HOT WATER!! Great job!
You can actually see the weight lifting off your shoulders as you complete more and more. You guys as always are doing a great job.
Oh LOL! I would be changing things too... One of my dreams is to have a bathroom with a central floor drain because with kids, well, things happen. AND it would be a DREAM to just spray down the floor for cleaning.... Truthfully, the kitchen would have one too!
Hot water! Such a taken for granted luxury! Life is good. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome you know your stuff,and you guys I love the way you reframing everything in the house,and you didn't do a mess job lol! Doug, and Ashley ya'll rocks yes I always enjoy your videos.
We waited all day for your video. glad you got hot water. your show is our favorite. been watching since you redid your single wide.
Thanks!
Great to her the joy and relief in your voices when the water first went on! Maverick must have had a blast in that big new bathtub. :-D
That first hot shower is going to feel like a million dollars. Glad the leaks were minor and easily fixed. Now on to the next installment. Have a Blessed day.
Alright congratulations I'm glad you guys got that done! Keep On Keepin On Ashley and Doug!💚😀
I was waiting to see how you are coming along. :)
Ok, so the last two videos have been incredibly AWESOME!!! I was literally cheering you on, out loud!!!! I still say you guys need your own show!!!! Trying to wait patiently for the next video, right after you all get out of that long, long, long, relaxing bath you've waited for!!!!!😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰
Very impressive, only 3 very small leaks, after all that plumbing! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
you both have worked so hard. it's amazing to see the work being done. But Doug and Ashley you have lost so much weight. I know you are pushing, but please take care of yourself. Doug I don't think I have ever seen you so thin. Take care of yourselves.
awesome call! your going to love not having the cabinet not hanging out toward the sink
I was holding my breath when you turned on the water, I was so excited for you.
Congrats you guys! We are so impressed by your work ethic and your determination planning! Impressive! Love watching what you accomplish! Love you!
So exciting :) I am so stoked for you and your family it funny I get so excited like if it was my home and project. Thanks for sharing your wonderful projects and renovation videos be blessed
Great to see you . Great job on everything you do
yes ....you don't know how much you LOVE hot water ...untill you don't have it .... GREAT JOB.... ( from Australia)
Great work you two!!! I think everyone should have to adapt to not having the comforts of things like water and electricity just so they can truly appreciate what we have in America! Coming from a gal who was stationed overseas and knows we live in the greatest country in the world! It’s even nice that no matter what you need it’s a quick trip to the store or an order off the internet. Love what you’re doing!!
I love your videos! I also love that you post videos pretty regularly. It's hard when you get so caught up in a channel and they stop posting videos!! Arrgh! 😬 LOL 😉 I want to know how you get your sheet rock holes to line up so perfectly with your electrical and plumbing fittings? Awesome work and you two work together so well!
Just very accurate measuring! Occasionally we mess up though and have to start with a new sheet. Thank you!
"Most suspenseful water heater hookup" .. and then .. the water heater isn't even suspended yet - tadaa-boom ! :-)
You must be so happy having water back in the house. You seem to tackle everything with such ease and calm. I can’t wait to see your home completed and you all being able to just enjoy it and relax in it. Well done
Hot water..!!! Hallelujah!!! Great job you guys.
Amazing job!!!!
Awesome; can’t wait until it is all done. 😊
Your fortitude is astonishing.
What you accomplished in a day would have taken me a week.
Water!!! Congratulations!
Great job guys.
Looking good
We have a tankless water heater and it takes forever for the hot water to reach our tub and if someone is trying to shower in another bathroom at the same time their water temp is very unstable. I think you made a great choice.
I had to laugh when you said you had been thinking🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
And it gets you in trouble.😂😂😂😂
I'm a 27 year old female with no home renovation experience whatsoever but I watch your videos religiously!! 😂 Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Thank you for watching
Yeah it's shower time,who's first lol😅 another job well done👍😊...
Was waiting for this! Lol
Oh my gosh, you two are so resourceful. I would never tackle anything like that. Kudos to you both.
Yay water in da house! Congratulations guys! Can't wait to see the tile on the floor...kudos to you young man...hard work always pays off.
Hello,
I love it. Now i have seen how peks work it was a great to see ,i have to replace my tub and sink and was thinking about useing peks. Thanks for sharing......
If you need a water filter for rust and sediment...you probably have hard water. It would be wise to install a water softer. It will save your water heater, washing machine and clothing from early decay.
It may be wise to wrap the water heater in a insulation wrap to help with energy cost.
@@elizabethlenning8723 I bet they'll get to that, but they have to put in a water pan and get some other work done before they insulate the heater.
I am still binge watching. You guys are AWESOME!!!
I learn something new from you every time. Great job Doug.
I'd be way more concerned about the toilet then I would be getting hot water for shower
I've only seen built in medicine cabinets in home decorating magazines. The extra special touches and wall and ceiling frame strengthenings are making this house much too well built for it to be called a "mobile home" anymore. I hope when you sell it, the real estate agent doesn't give it that tag. Because it deserves to be valued at much more.
YAY! Water in the house!
Your site is my absolute favorite...anxiously await each addition and I am so encouraged by how great each episode is! Appreciate all your hard work and willingness to share your lives with us!!!
Thanks!
First! You guys are great
I just want to comment about the insulation and how you said not to push it in, that the tabs should be flush and over lap. This is the way my grandfather taught me to put the insulation in his retirement home that was next to where I grew up on our farm. I helped him with a lot of the putting the electrical boxes on the studs and pulling wires also helped and handed him tools when he was working. I never understood why people would staple the tabs on the inside...it pushes the insulation in weird. I was 15 when I helped him with his home. (He was a Plummer by trade). I learned so much from him that I have carried throughout my life! I will be 70 in 6 weeks (12/05) and I can still fix a toilet and do minor repairs which has saved me over the years! I love watching each episode and look everyday for a new one! Your bathroom will be awesome. Hugs and love from the country girls on NE PA💕
And Doug said, "Let there be water." And Doug and Ashley saw that the water was GOOD. ;) I am doing a happy dance for you guys out here in the desert. Soooo excited to know water has been restored to the house! I hope a warm shower was the cherry on top of this renovation day. Take care. 🛀
I'm glad you installed your insulation the correct way. Drives me crazy how many people do it wrong.
Another great video guys!
But I'm curious about the background noise I was hearing.
Shower running?
Washer filling up?
A BIG leak?
Hopefully it was just the water tank filling up, those things take forever to fill up
It was raining out :D
@@diyfferent yep, thought that one too, just didn't add it.
So proud of all the work you and Ashley have done.
Great remodel!
I always used to dread the threaded connections as well... until my old plumber friend told me to use Teflon tape and then put some thread sealant over the tape before instal. I haven’t had a single drip on threaded fittings since. (Sometimes you need a belt AND suspenders) 😀
Thanks for the great videos!
You are making great progress and how good it must feel to finally have the water issue project coming together. It is a lot of work for sure. You have worked really hard. It sure is looking good! My best to you and your family on this journey and may you spend many happy years in your newly renovated home making special memories. 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello you two! Never posted before, but just wanted to say how much my wife and I enjoy your videos! We've been watching for a couple of years now, and absolutely appreciate how much hard work you've put into your projects! My wife will often text me "there's a new DIYfferent!" and we always wait until we can watch together! God bless you and your beautiful family :-)
Cool, made me laugh though, this last summer I installed a new well pump and whole house filter and when I turned on the water the damn house filter shot water out. Had to really hand tighten it and then had 2 little drip a minute leaks that drove me crazy so took them apart and no leaks. No matter what kind of plumbing you do there are going to be little set backs. I normally wrap teflon the same direction as fitting screws on. Also I teflon and pipe dope which seems to work too. But I really like the new system you are using. Do you guys have your own septic tank or on a town system?? Keep up the great work!!
Mike
We have our own septic tank :)
Most of the time those instructions are written in “Chinglish.” Lol
Your home will be lovely and built to last....great work
Wow things are looking so good. I've seen so many things done that I did not know about. You two are just great. Thanks for sharing.
I would definitely buy a house from you guys 😁
I am first!!!
I get ssssoooo excited when I see a video up!!! I stop EVERYTHING and sit down and watch my favorite UA-cam family! I was holding my breath when you turned on the water for the first time!!! Lol Messing with plumbing is the very least favorite thing in renovation! So happy it's going so well! Stay warm!
Thank you so much. We appreciate you joining us :D
Doing plumbing work makes my husband speak in tongues. 😛
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So happy for you! Great work you guys!!!! Yeaaaaaaaa!
Yay - water👏👏👏 Nothing but blue skies from now on🌞
Awesomeness!! Remember when we had water break we bathed in the field sprinklers. Thankful for that hot water!
I enjoyed the squirt leaks. Jumped out of my seat. Also brought back great memories of being young.
So happy for you guys that you finally have hot water! That shower will feel good! 🚿🚿🚿🚿🚿😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
This is so inspiring. I feel better about some impending plumbing repairs knowing about the pex lines. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
So happy you now have hot water. I can't imagine functioning without it myself. Great job as usual. Love you guys.
Yay, You've got cold and hot running water. Excellent job Doug on all the plumbing. I bet you are happy as anything AShley I can see it all over your face. It will be worth it in the end, the home will be practically brand new and worth a lot more than what you paid for it, but please stay a long time, lol. Love you guys! Kisses and hugs for Maverick and sweet Belle.
You guys are amazing with your positivity and go get them Attitude and work ethic. I really can’t wait for the final reveal on the whole house.
