I really enjoy your videos. ❤ Evee and Doug you tŵo are a amazing couple ❤
Thank you :)
Loving the progress!
The trailer is really taking shape. A closet or a laundry room. Nice find Maverick the dragonfly is so pretty.
God bless this family.🙏💖
Nice tape collection. The black tape was a first for me. I knew a carpenter that had over 100 old manual hand planers. He kept them in a footlocker. They had all been used and well-loved. Measuring tapes and manual hand planers are 'tools of the trade'. Your mobile home is taking shape. I never once doubted or questioned your design but I admit this is the exciting part of the process. Actually seeing walls is proof you have created a sturdy and safe shell that is transitioning into what will be a well-designed and comfortable home. Well done Eevee and Doug!
Great progress!!!
Maverick is SO SWEET!!! 🥰🌻🎶🌻❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏡
The house that Doug and Eevee built!!👏👏🙂
That's an awesome tape measure collection, Doug, and that was a beautiful dragon fly, Maverick!👋🏼
Those walls went up fast! Note to self: keep Doug away from tape measures and car sale websites. LOL!!!
A whole bathroom framed it what an accomplishment. Things are moving fast❤
Doug & Eevee don't mess around >>;=)
My husband loses a lot of tape measures. I think he usually forgets them at the hardware store. I remember both my dairy farmer grandpas had those wooden measuring things stuck in an overall pocket that were like a bunch of small rullers hooked together that would click into shape making longer ones. One had a round very skinny tape in a metal case that would pull out. It may have not been metal tape. I think it was only about a quarter inch wide if even that. I think it had to be reeled back in. Both grandpas also had a tin of Copenhagen snuff tucked into their Oskosh B'Gosh pockets, or some Black Jack gum. Precious memories of Grandpas who always let me "help" drive their Ford tractors, help feed cows, wash milkers, and even collect maple sap.
My Grandma always kept Beemans, Black Jack, and Clove gum packets in her purse. She would allow me to snatch a stick whenever I wanted. Good memories.
So did mine! 😊
Your tape measures are like my scissor collection! I have scissors everywhere I might need them. And specialty ones separate.
Me too! I don't like having to search for scissors. Kept a pair in each room of my home!!
@@lindajwilson9848...and maybe it's a "Linda" thing!
That extra alcove looks big enough to hold a washer and dryer. Plus it's on the same side the plumbing will be on. I would like one of those tape measures with all the in-between fractions to save my eyes!
Thank you Doug for calling it a “TAPE MEASURE” & NOT a “measuring tape”. Thank you for showing us all your tape measures & the different features each one has. Can never have enough 😉
Doug, you explain things very well. I’ve learned a lot from your channel but probably won’t use most of it. ❤
Doug - it’s really beginning to look more like a home than a cavern !!! Yay 😀
Eevee- loving the sunglasses and the pigtails ❤. 😎
I agree
Good morning, family. I'm excited about the bathroom wall going up.
Nice bath size. Moving forward. Nice tape measures. I have never seen some of those and their different features and colors. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Very exciting to see walls go up.👍💞
My favorite morning video.....thank you! You two make things look so easy in the way you work together....such a joy to watch. The mobile is coming along so nicely. I didn't know there were so many different tape measures....interesting side note!❤
Bathroom walls w double wall looking like great warm idea.its coming along fast . ceiling looking great in the trailer.
Great collection of tape measures. Never knew they were made so different. Can see why you like them.
Doug, where did you learn your carpentry skills? Shop class, books, video's? Did you apprentice? You are a wonderful mentor explaining your projects. TY!
What I like is that Doug & Ash work on the fly with their building materials and tools Doug is chopping boards on the floor. Without all the UA-cam sponsorship big tools. Good work guy’s!!
Love the look of that heavy duty black tape measure. It looks so unique.
Doug, you always amaze me with your teaching ability. When you first mentioned you really liked a tape measure, I’m thinking why? Tell me more. Then you went home and sure enough, you told us more and more and more. Wow! I had no idea there were so many different types of tape measures. So cool. Thanks again for being you.
Like the magic of a speed square it will make calculations for you, that you didn’t know it could do. Measure twice cut once
Does that Crescent brand Lufkin glow in the dark? since it seems like those yellow numbers would…
💯 agree
Hi Doug and Eevee, thank you for showing us your tape collection. I thought they only made a standard. Now I will also get my own mini collection for different things i do. However I love the sturdy ones because when I measure the length of a room it beds and is frustrating. I did not know they had a sturdy one. Thank you.
I look forward to watching you every morning while I have my morning coffee. Love you both. Such a great team.
This is so incredible. This is essentially a completely new home. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like.
I always leave a tape measure in the area I'm working and one at the miter saw. Invariably they both end up at the same location. Keep up the good work people.
Nice tape collection! 😀Framing is coming along nicely. 😊
Awesome job! You got a lot done today! :)
I just figured it out. I enjoy watching this channel because you guys remind me of the Doozers from Fraggle Rock. Always building new and cool stuff. It was my daughters favorite show when she was young. Also, who would have thought I would like seeing tape measures just as much as puzzles 🤔🥰🤣
haha!
I remember Fraggle Rock from my daughter's youth! Fun show.
I went to my local big box hardware store and extended every single tape measure in stock to see which had the longest "break point" before it bent/folded. The crescent Lufkin won by several feet. Helpful when you are measuring alone, with no one to hold the other end of the tape.
I learn so much from you guys 😊 Always working hard.
Nice work on the walls. I see you started on a porch for the back door.
A man never has enough TAPE MEASURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m guessing the extra alcove space is for the laundry area. Great progress today. 😊😊😊
Hi Family,
Awesome work day, ahead of schedule
is wonderful for you guys I’m sure! My guess
is the nook is washer n dryer hookup. Lol
Probably wrong but I like to guess, lol I know
you didn’t ask for a guess but I though I’d
throw it in there anyways. 😂
Nice measuring tape collection, I love the
ones with the fractions on them, just seems
to speed everything up a tad for me.
So good seeing you guys!
Be safe, happy and God Bless ❤
Hi Maverick 🛴
Hi Belle 🐛
Tape measures! Very cool.
Your accuracy is awesome..all your walls fall into place so effortlessly..but of course that is due to your attention to details ..Mobil home coming along so nicely😘
Nice tape measure collection. Thanks for showing and sharing it will help me pick a new one out.
A niche that is close to a water source must be going to also contain something that needs a water source -- easily plumbed. Washer/dryer/hot water heater closet? By the way, I'm loving your skirt, Evee! Hello to all and wishes for a wonderful weekend! ☺
That was a good bonus to the ending of another great video. Love your tape measuring collection.
Loved seeing your collection!
Looking good you guys 👍
Hi Doug and Eevee! I enjoyed the video! Ya'll have a restful weekend!🙋🌅🦩
I thought it was daughter helping you at first. Ashley is sneaky ha Get the boy in there and help move some 2x4’s. Good job Doug.!!
Eevee
I’m am a nurse who is now trying DIY that requires some carpentry so I’m a beginner. Literally. I find the DeWalt tape measure to be the easiest in understanding all the fractions. Just makes things clearer. I have also learned that I’m doing chalk lines I prefer one that is 3:1 much more than the 6:1. Never before did I know any of this nor did I think I would need to. Would love to hear other beginners tips if u guys have any to share. NOTE: Great find Maverick. That dragon fly had very distinct and beautiful markings.
Eevee, I'm guessing the nook is going to be where a washing machine, and the water heater goes. Because you're like me, and prefer to hang the clothes up on a clothesline, instead of using a clothes dryer. 😊
Doug, we share the same obsession and I'm always on the hunt for a good tape measure, too! LOL!! However, you have a couple of them I don't have, so I took screenshots of the ones I'm interested in, and I'm definitely going to be doing some shopping!! LOL!!
Hope ya'll enjoy your weekend!! Much Love and Hugs to you both and the kiddos!! ❤❤❤❤
My guesses for the little nook are either a closet for coats, outdoor shoes and boots; alternatively it could be a laundry room.
Nice job. It always looks like a clean workspace. changing subjects, curious if the trailer is anchored.
Yep, it's anchored.
Eevee, you are so cool, working construction with pigtails, a skirt and sunglasses. You rock!
I like the black tape. Jumped on here pronto, so I’ll count towards your YT algorithm!
You mobile home is coming along quickly now. 👏👏❤
I carry one in my purse, for"emergencies"😁...hey, you never know when you will have to measure something!🤣👍💓 you guys!
You 2 are moving right along & doing great work
I love the self locking tape measures. So much easier to use!
I'm so excited we are at this point of adding walls! And by "we", I mean you because I live vicariously through your videos 😂😂😂
Great job! You're making it look so easy. This seems to be so going quickly.😊
Cool dragonfly Maverick!
You guys take care!
Bye 👋
Well, you’re really making progress with the mobile home project. 💪👏🏼☺️👋Bye Maverick ☺️
We are a Milwaukee Tools family! We love all their power tools that we own!
Thank you for showing us your collection.
Looking forward to seeing more progress on your home 🏡 ❤😊
Loved the look on EEvie's face when you said I'll show you my tape measure collection.!there is a tape for measuring distance it throws out a lazer beam from the tape and gives you a digital read out. saw it on R&R buildings chanell.
Yeah, I've seen those for many years, but never had a good reason to buy one.
Lookin good! Doug that’s so cool that you “collect” tape measures!! I thought I was alone in that!! 😂 I have a tape measure everywhere I may need one. My truck, the kitchen, my workshop has 3, where I do my Etsy shop has 2 😂 Until now, Milwaukee has been the best I’ve used. I have a 25’ and a 35’ and they are my go-to tapes. I now want one of those Lufkin tapes like you showed!! That black tape w neon green is just what I need! Easy to SEE lol. Love y’all!
I had no idea that they make tape measures with the fractions on them - that's really great to know. I've got some pretty flimsy tape measures, so it would be nice to have one like the one you have. Thanks for showing us your collection.
It must feel good to be at this stage and seeing the rooms start to take shape. I’m guessing the book will be for laundry machines . I’m loving the pigtails Evve , they look great on you.
Looking absolutely terrific. Lol redoing my bathroom gonna watch you totally for installing the wall for the commode and the commode in the wall. Going to do the same thing you’re my inspiration. Thank you guys.
Nice collection of tape measures.
Yes I get it tape measuring emergency! Nice collection Doug.
Congratulations on being ahead of schedule! How often does that happen for most people? Well for me, very rarely. I'm glad you showed the measuring tapes at the end. My husband gets most of his tools used from estate sales, Facebook market, etc. This man deserves the best. It helped me to see the qualities of what makes a good tape. I never would have thought much about it, but now I can gift him with one he deserves. Thanks! I always enjoy your videos.
Mobile looking good! My Dad had lots of measuring tapes as well! The wider ones are the best!
I love that Milwaukee has the fractions. But then I love Milwaukee.
I think we all collect something we like! Love your collection. Maverick is so cute!
As always the frame work is on point! 👌🏻
Loved the tape measure bit. You are so good at explaining anything!
We are pro Milwaukee 😝
We got new 25’ Milwaukee tapes but I’m not sold on the magnetic end (I didn’t know they had it).
Off to watch the President episode! 🖤
We hope you all have a great weekend! 😊🌲❤️
Doug and Eveey everything is coming along so nicely. Doug I was always interested in tape measure. Now I need to go buy a new one that has all the measurements on it. Thank you, you always give such good information. Have a blessed weekend! ♥️🙏🌴
Great video. Liked you went over your tape measures.
Looks good so far❤ y’all stay safe in this Florida heat , it be awful lately
I really like the tape measure collection
I loved the measuring tape collection! I have a collection too! ❤
It is coming along nicely it probably won't be long before it is done you two work so hard
I get so excited will the walls go up.....hugs
Thanks for a great video!
Hmmmm, my hubby has a birthday coming up. I think he's getting a Klein tape measure. He's got Stanley brand and they flop and twist. He'd love a wider, heavier model that doesn't do that. Maybe if they're not too pricey, I'll get him two - one for work and one for home. thanks for showing off your collection! I didn't realize that their features could vary so much.
Forget the cake, buy him the tape! Very thoughtful of you, and will certainly give more incentive for all the honey-do projects :) win-win for both of you lol!
Awesome progress!
The walls are looking good. The bathroom is perhaps going to be small but I have a rather small bathroom and it works for me. Is that nook perhaps a laundry area and/or utility room? Nice collection of tape measures. My husband and I find it handy to have several around the house for measuring this or that but I never gave much thought to some of the details you noted. Of all of the ones you showed, I might like the Lufkin the best.
Dragon flies are our friends, they eat mosquitoes!!
2 more steps forward. I like it. I'm going to guess maybe besides being the rear entrance that it can house a washer & dryer? In that niche? It would be so convenient.
Yep :)
Is there a, "Where's the tape measure", t-shirt in the making❤❤❤
Great process on the bathroom. As for the mystery room, I’m guessing a laundry room since the plumbing is already there.
Doug, nice tape measure collection. There are so many variables to think about.
Hi Maverick 💙
As always be well, be blessed ❤
Nice tape measure collection. Never seen a black one before.
Laundry room or closet would be my guess for the 'snug' room.
Probably laundry room of those two, as it's already near plumbing. Could be a kind of mud room, to wash all the garden dirt off before coming inside.
Doug you need to find an old Tomboy Tools brand tape measure to that collection! Has all of the fractions on it. Its smaller but its also pink so easy to find!
And no guy is tempted to steal it?
@@ILGuy2012 exactly! They even had pink jumper cables. Ive never had anyone walk off with them LOL
I’m always encouraged by your videos. Love your channel.
😊💕🇨🇦
Looking great! I’m guessing the nook will either be a laundry room or a utility room.
I never knew there were so many different tape measures! Very interesting.
Now I know what tape measures to look for. I'm done with cheap ones that flop and fold, won't hold and snap back and get stuck inside. Good way to cut myself as well. Thanks for so much usable information! 👍
It’s coming together nicely
I came in from working outside, where the old man said "You can never have too many tape measures." And guess what today's side note is..😃 I like the ones with large numbers and fractions myself.
Does that glow in the dark?!?! Please use it once at night. 🤩
Love your choice of music.
Oh yes that black tape is very cool.
Ooooo! I love this phase of things taking shape! So fun to watch things unfold....speaking of unfolding, will that space be a W/D area? Every time I watch and see a shot with the bay window in the background I'm like "When is the bay window's turn?!?!?" 😁😛
