I can’t even imagine a scenario where anyone thinks you’re “slacking”! You don’t owe us content, but we enjoy when you take us along. You guys are great. Just be kind to yourself. We’ll still be here 😊
I agree. I’m tired of this sweet, hardworking family getting negative comments. I think they are doing a wonderful job and enjoying their lives in a very productive way. I feel blessed that they willingly share their projects and lives with us, completely honestly too. God bless them and their beautiful children. 🩷
Agree💯
You are TOO GOOD for UA-cam. I want you to know that you are appreciated by 99.999999999% of us; the others are here to try to put a damper on your sunshine. Thank you.
I don't think any of us would define you as 'slacking' 😂. If anything, ya'll need more breaks! Hope you do take some no-work days because stepping back from a project and coming back to it refreshed helps to build solutions and ideas.
Don’t worry about viewer response too much! I’ve never been disappointed in your great videos! I look forward to each one! Hang in there! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
Agree with this 100% ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely.
Oh my goodness, you have two great artists in your house! See what happens when you let kids be kids and not stuck in front of a tv or other devices. Amazing little guy!
Please don't apologize for things. You don't owe anybody anything. People enjoy you sharing your journey and seeing you and your beautiful family doing things we would never attempt but enjoy, very much, seeing. You all are a blessing to many people. The reason you are all over the place is because you have been blessed with a creative brain and your head is just full of ideas. And you have Ashley to help ground you with her organizational skills. Opposites attack and can make a good team and a job well done. You have the ability to look at a job and see different ways it could be done and most people look at a job and say where do I begin. Thank you for sharing your projects. Most importantly enjoy your projects. ❤
Doug, please stop feeling like you have to apologize for taking a rain day or a rest day !! The body and mind need rest in order to heal. The precautions you take to ensure a good job are essential !! I’ve been watching from the beginning… and I’m not going anywhere ❤🎉 😘
Doug and Ashley, you're doing a great job just remember things always don't work out and I know you got this ❤️🇨🇦😊
Maverick, those are some cool robots! Great job! Thanks Doug and Ashley for the video!❤
You don't have to prove anything to us, you get done what you can. I'm in no hurry, been a long for the ride for a while now. Florida weather is unpredictable most days, we had some horrific winds and rain yesterday.
Love Mavericks drawing. Those old robots are so cool.
A roofing contractor would have blown through that in no time. No consideration to all problems you addressed. Your finished job will be better, longer.😊
A good contractor will do a good job. Is it as detailed maybe not. It’s more of an accomplishment doing it yourself.
It will be great when Doug is done. He's done many roofs before.
-raym ... Exactly! Doug's "it will be fine' and 'it's good enough' is far superior to work I paid to be completed by 'professional' contractors. In my opinion Doug's approach re renovating is the best yet.
I was thinking of something to say,and then you said this great 👍
This is going to be an awesome roof!!!!
There is so much to do and consider when you are doing this roofing. Remember careful and steady is best.
Puzzle time is good for the mind. The puzzle will be amazing when it’s finished. Relaxing is just as important as working.
What a great chat, thanks for inviting us in. I’m more like Ashley, I’m a planner too. Thanks for continuing to allow us to see your journey.
Hi Maverick ❤ Wow, I see another great artist in the family, good job Maverick.
As always be well, be blessed❤
Stop apologizing, you are amazing and the hardest working family I have ever seen.Take care,you are doing a great job
Amen to that!
Life isn’t orderly and laid out, everyday is it’s own, taking our time with projects is necessary because we can make mistakes. Be well and safe, enjoy the rain and time together without stress.🥰❤️👏😉
Thank you for all you do! Don’t be upset about what you don’t get done! Doug it’s fine! Yes Ashley! Great job Maverick!
Great job Mr Maverick. Love the old robots!!
Doug and Ashley I am very grateful that you show your process. So many just rush through and then wonder why there are problems.
Loving Mavericks Robots👏
Keep up the great work (in your own time) and taking us mainstream tv boycotters with you😁
Doug and Ashley family 1st. The roof will be there tomorrow and the day after. Your not slack in any way. By young man, nice drawing.🎉 God bless you guys 🦋🐈🍓🤗
Jumping around is fun.......you're doing amazing work. I enjoy watching whatever you are doing.
Dear Family cut yourself some slack. Life works that way. There are ups and downs and roundy rounds. Even though you may not meet your goal for the day, you are still moving forward. That's what counts. You are such a sweet family. I wish you the best.
I don’t care how you do it or don’t do it. I love watching this is a wonderful channel. I love you guys.
Doug and Ashley, you accomplish a great deal!!! Keep it up and take breaks!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏡
I loved Ashleys's it looks fine! But, the dedication to the roof looking and being right is amazing! Thanks for the video!! Some people won't understand why you won't just slap stuff up. I grew up if you do any job, you do it once and right since you are spending hard earned money and energy! Never half anything!!!
I wish ppl we're as considerate as you otherwise our mobile home wouldn't need some work. We have done many repairs thanks to you Doug and Ashley.
Fantastic drawing Maverick! Great imagination. Love it. Blessings.
It is so refreshing to see a family that is so caring and loving to each other. To watch everything you do and never let anything stop you, is a blessing to behold in this time when so many people feel so entitled ...God bless your entire family and never change.. Your children are precious and so respectful... great parents.
You’re in no way slackers, you’re an inspiration!
WOW !! Mavrick ' s robots are so good...what a cool kid...
Keep going with the Fresh Prince Doug! 😅
So many people don’t understand the amount of work that goes into making these videos, let alone the work in them... You all just keep doing what you are doing and we will keep following along!
Loved the old robots… and the old shaky hands 😂
We hope you have a great weekend! 🌲
You have yourself another artist in the family!
I have never once thought you were slacking because 'no video'. I do appreciate an update so I don't worry because of the absurd weather that hits Florida regularly. I don't know where in the state you are, but the whole state seems to suffer more than the rest of us.
Everything looks so good! Progress is being made, including the puzzle!
Lookin good y’all! I feel your pain brother. When we remodeled the ‘87 single wide we did the same roof system and were in a rush to get new roof in since old one was leakin badly, we didn’t address this issue(never even occurred to us at the time) and we regretted afterwards. No way we were gonna go back and redo it. Keep it up tho. It’ll be worth the time it takes now. It’ll pay off. Love y’all!
I don't know how anyone could or would think you guys were slacking. As i've said before, I love your attention to detail and your attitude of if anything is worth doing it's worth doing right. Enjoy the rainy days! Excellent Mr. M. Excellent! 😊
I’m interested in seeing your family’s cooking and eating habits. Who does the cooking? What kinds of food does your family eat? Do you grill?(gas or charcoal?) Do you eat meat? How often do you get takeout? McDonalds? Chinese food?
I’d bet I’m not the only one that would like to know. 😊
So they made " renovation pudding" one time and it's a super healthy chocolate desert worthy of the finest Michelin starred restaurants -I think that was maybe two years ago? Before Florida I think? It is very popular anywhere I take it and the portions can be small as it is very rich, and I love teasing people to guess what the three ingredients are ! Hopefully Doug or Ashley will see this comment and can provide a link to the video!
Yes - I am curious about these aspects too. A good while ago Doug showed us a grill that they had purchased and told us that they would like to build a cooking/grilling gazebo outside. One time, Doug accidentally showed us a pot with meatballs and sauce in it. Otherwise, they don’t seem to want to share any details about their eating habits - and that’s perfectly fine and their choice. I would bet money that they never - ever go to any fast food establishments.
Doug-
Just wanted to thank you for being so patient with your family when you work. I learned from you many years ago now. Today, my wife and I drywalled the basement ceiling and it was a memory we will have for many years. In my younger days, she would have stormed off when I got mouthy! You are a good role model.
Doug you will get it figured out.
I'm so grateful that I found yall so many years ago painting the mobile home red and it started raining...and I still love to watch you guys!
You’re a family of talented people! Great art Maverick!!
Love Maverick’s drawing! A very talented family you have there!
I'm glad you had a rainy day, forced to ease off, you looked so tired and that's when accidents can happen.
Please! You do you! The people who follow you and watch your channel do so because you are you. Adding in other projects is very interesting, in my opinion. The roof of the 40 year old mobile home, not going to be perfect. It's a mobile home! It hasn't ever been perfect. Lol! Love that you're real! Always have.
Doug, you and Ashley have always done excellent work. Construction jobs are always different. You all have been doing excellent work in all your renos, going above and beyond what others would do. Shims will fix the issue just fine. I've learned so much from watching your videos.
You and Ashley do such a great job on everything you do. I have watched you guys redo a single wide mobile home years ago, the double wide mobile home property and all the clean up and buildings, the property now in Florida and all the renovations. You guys are great and do fantastic. You do so much. Even watched you repair your bus and then bus build. Repair cars along the way and just do everything. You are an incredible carpenter, roofer, mechanic, electrician, plumber, and anything you set your mind to. You do overthink things but that is who you are. Ashley is like, just do it. It's okay. It's fine, quit overthinking it Doug.
Great job guys! It stormed like crazy! Makes for a great rest day! Don’t let people stress you out, you have so many people who love y’all!
There is a lot of talent of various kinds that run through your whole family. Wonderful. Adventure on!!
Doug sometimes we’re our own worst enemy. You’re not the only one that has self doubt but you guys do things throughly. Keep going, we will be here to support you. ☺️👏🏼💪👍🙏
Don’t let it get you down. Easier said than done, I know. Just do what you can. Your work is always good, so just think of it that way. ❤
It will all come together! Maverick is just the coolest kid! And what an artist he is! Very talented little guy! And beautiful Belle! You all are truly blessed!❤
Starting with a random piece of a puzzle is madness 😅 I could even imagine! You two crack me up and amaze me everyday ❤️
I am sooooo glad you guys are NOT roofers! I have my doubts that a roofer would have made such an effort to get the job right and iron out the bumps, not because they wouldn't care but because time is money and a 'good enough for warranty purposes' job is what is included in the time they work! Maverick and Belle both have great imaginations and I love that they get are comfortable sharing their efforts with us! Thanks as always xx
No matter what you do in your videos I love to watch. Great job on the picture, so cool.
Love the robot picture
Great job, Maverick !
Wow the art is very detailed and ordered. Your son has inherited from both of you I think! Well done! And I enjoy watching your progress ! Give yourselves all credit due! Not everybody could figure out and dismantle and rebuild as you both are doing! You are a WOW couple that's why we enjoy sharing and watching your progress!
You guys are awesome. Don’t worry about what others say. You’re doing great. Love your channel. Doug you are the best and your assistant is great also.
I LOVE your new bangs Ashley!!!!
Don'worry about us. I love your projects 🎉😊
I like your puzzle. Life and renovation is kind of like a puzzle, too. Keep at it. Take it piece by piece.
You do what is best for you and your family. Don't stress about what others may say or think. You always do a great job. Take care and God bless. And thank you for sharing.
Ashley be looking fly with them shades 😎
Guy’s you doing great and the call on doing the rooftop yourself was a good call. Take care
I appreciate you telling us what’s going on. Never would I ever think you’re slacking off.
No need for apologies. Your projects your time. Keep. Doing. You. 🌻🌵🎶🔨
My wife gets on to me every time I do a project. She says I’m too slow. But just like you Doug, I like to take my time, research and think about all the options and the what if’s. Makes for a much better completed project in the end. Love your videos and love your family. Yes, we had rain most all day yesterday here in Florida. I’ll keep watching no matter what you are doing. With you all the way!
Wow, Maverick, you have talent 👏 Doug and Ashley. Take your time, no rush, be patience, and everything will be alright ❤❤❤
You guys are doing great! Anyone who has ever actually done something knows it’s often a process of trial and error and re-thinking a plan! Those who criticize what you are doing are most likely people who have never really accomplished anything!! For the average homeowner who DIYs everything, it always looks exactly like you guys do it and it turns out great most every time!! Don’t get discouraged!!❤Loved Maverick’s drawing!!
So true !!!
Thanks for sharing. I gotta say, Mavericks robots were the icing on the cake! ♥♥♥
There's no need for an apology, ya'll are amazing and everything you've done, has always looked beautiful when completed. Take as much time as you need, we'll still be here, loving and supporting ya'll every step of the way. 😊😊😊
It looks like you have another very creative artist in the family. Please let Maverick know, we really appreciated and enjoyed seeing his drawing and please give our love to Belle as well.
Much Love and Hugs to you both and to your two delightful kiddos, from Auntie Jo and family!!! ❤❤❤❤
Ashley with her pony tail and sunglasses looks like she should be riding a Vespa instead of sitting on a roof. 😂 Now I’m gonna go watch Roman Holiday.
stop worrying about everyone else. this is YOUR life we are just lucky that you are sharing it with us . ENJOY YOURSELVES that's what matters
Morning. Don’t beat yourself up Doug as always it will be OK. I love any video that y’all post. Great job Maverick you’re going to be an artist as well.❤
As an artist myself, that is a very good, very detailed picture of robots that Maverick drew! Please let him know that a person in the comments said "Great job!"👏 ❤ Btw. He's got a very good imagination.
Sorry for all the trouble you're having but you guys are very good at what you're doing! Don't worry, I'm sure everyone would agree that it will be beautiful when it's done.
Take care!
Bye kids! 👋😊
I love watching your family no matter which direction you jump.x
Wow! That is some awesome artwork! ❤
you son is super talented. those robots have so much character in such a simple drawing
Hey Doug Carl here man you are a very good craftsman rather you know it are not. Y’all are the only ones that put a video out rebuilding a mobile home double wide that really was very helpful I was able to learn a lot from y’all’s videos. Keep up the craftsmanship And the art work is awesome .May GOD protect you and your family
Y'all don't need anyone to dictate to you. How many videos you put out, or how you do the job. That's how stress builds. Doug and Ashley, I personally love your family and the fact that you share your lives with us. Love to Belle and Maverick. God bless
For 2 people with such vastly DIYfferent ways of tackling projects you have a wonderful way of accomplishing amazing work. Ashley prefers planning, beginning, the middle and the completion of projects. I totally understand that mindset. It has continuity. Doug prefers spontaneity. Many projects in-progress at the same time allows him the option re which project suits his mood that and allows for weather variations. Plus the onging lack of inventory does often interrupt focusing on one project. My personal approach is different than either Ashley's or Doug's. I planned to retirevin 2022 with 52yrs with thecsame wonderful company. Due to "19" they offered a nice retirement package. I accepted because I knew it was the best financial decision. (I think we had 3.5 months to decide.) Suddenly I wasn't working 6 12hour days in a row 80-90% of the time. (Vacation days caused the variables.) I lost any form of a structured schedule. I start projects and I'm easily distracted or become bored and start somethingelse. It snowballs. So I have several projects going and it's somewhat overwhelming. (Some projects must be delayed due to a broken shoulder. Painting projects are impossible for at least 4 more months. Everything seems to now take twice as long so I am back to being bored, hurting and annoyed.) The only reason I mentioned my issues is I would much prefer to switch my way of approaching projects with either Ashley or Doug. And if possible maybe include 15-25% of their reno skills! I can dream.
I am recently unexpectedly retired also.I was being hard on myself because I have many things I can do. I’m just not getting them done. I never thought about that structure of a 9 to 5 days a week job making you be more efficient in the off time and weekends. I have been pushing myself to get on some sort of functionality and routine. I think the pressure to get a job done is helpful now when I am reading your post, and I must find a rhythm that makes me feel good instead of making me feel bad. I am glad you brought up the different ways people think a job through and that no one way is the perfect way.
As I always say. I love seeing any of your videos no matter what you are doing
Love your artwork Maverick!
NO ONE could EVER think you guys are "slackers" !!! Love you guys!!
Maverick is an artist! Great job, Maverick! I love the robots in action positions. You are very talented.
Bummer about the difficulty you had, but on the bright side Ashley is rocking those sunglasses. ❤
It's not a problem when you take some time to relax and do something like that puzzle. There's more to life than diy.
I like to jump around when doing things because if I stay on one thing I get bored and will not get anything done. Maverick's robot's are so real looking. Great picture. Keep doing things the way that feels right to you.
Wow Maverick….you certainly have your parent’s creativity. Great job buddy.👍🏼❤️
Maverick’s drawing is awesome!!! So much detail and movement. Love it Maverick! Great job! And great job, mom and dad for raising great kids. My husband and I love your content. Keep up the good work and God bless.
I agree I was not expecting something that nice looking. Very small though hmm.
Your videos are always interesting🥰🇨🇦
I'm happy to watch whatever you put out, maverick is such a nice lad. Loved his robots xxx
I so enjoy your channel. Don’t be hard on yourself. You are such a joy
It's not going to hurt for you to get some rest. Chill sometimes! You're doing fine and it's going to be fine. I'm the SAME way about jumping around. A.D.D. makes me get side tracked big time. I will start something and walk to get something and see something else that needs doing and do that and then thinj, ugh I am suppose to be doing so and so. :P It's ok though.
Maverick has an attention to detail and a focus beyond his years, much like Belle and his parents! Those robots took time and it shows. ❤
Hey Doug how does it feel to have such a beautiful wife who will hop on the roof with you when needed? 😊 You both are great together with your lovely differences and all! The children are thriving with your direction and your example. I'm so happy for you! Thank you for the video and rest assured that your loyal followers (and we are loyal...😊) love your content no matter what it is cos it's always great! I, for one, appreciate the fact that you can share with us your frustrations and know we understand. Heck we are all human and have plenty of bad days...and yes we do care about your whole family and wish you the best at all times. ❤
Do not worry about what people say. Your videos are well done. Do them when you can. Be safe when working on your projects.
Fabulous young artist there. I'll take whatever videos you have in whatever order. You all just take care.
It’s a process. Trust it. You guys have been doing a great job to this point.
Don’t worry about jumping around. I just love visiting with y’all every day.
Doug, cut a couple spacer/jig measured so that when you put a purlin down and place the spacer perpendicular on top the next purlin will be 24 inches on center. That way you don’t have to use your tape every time placing purlins. Saves so much time!!
Sometimes things happen to cause us to slow down-ie-rain. I always try to think that there was a reason for the interruption.
Maverick got to draw a very good picture of robots on that rainy day-and his attention to detail was alot like his dads. Great job, Maverick!
Ashley, I'm the same way. I like finishing one thing then moving on to another. If i find myself jumping around on projects, I make myself stop everything and organize my brain and get back on track. Then i go back to the first thing i was doing and finish then move on.
Y'all are doing great with everything you have going on!
Love Maverik's robots! That took a lot of concentration and it turned out wonderful!!
Take your time, all is coming fine 😊
