- Everything is done for this trip to The Louisiana House. The inspection is done. Doing a final cleaning so it is perfect when Melissa comes down in a couple weeks. Many questions about the house from comments answered.
I wouldn’t walk into someone else’s house and start telling them what I didn’t like and what they could have done differently, my mother didn’t bring me up that way. I really admire your work ethic and attention to detail Joe, it all looks fantastic.
Northern Seclusion fans, stand with me now as we offer Joe a rousing standing ovation for an excellent job well done. The awful, disparaging feeling of the damaged house, touched many times by a master's hand, is now once again a home, and beautiful at that. I tip my hat to you good sir, most excellent work and worthy of "THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE". Worked your butt off, day in and day out. Thanks for sharing this journey Joe. Hope your trip back north went / goes well. Your own bed is gonna feel sooooo goooood. At least til 4 am when you gotta get up and get at the chore list waiting!
My late husband was a locksmith. He would say " locks keep honest people out". Again you are doing great work.
One thing is for sure Joe, you know carpentry inside and out. Amazing work! You are the man! Hardest working man I don't know. God Bless!
I love the fact you guys are keeping the house as a winter/vacation getaway. It is paid for therefore no pressure. You did an outstanding job. The kitchen is to die for. The corner pantry really upscaled the room. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are a true craftman. Just a outstanding job to the both of you. I love everything you did to the house. The colors and flooring and all the rest is just beautiful. Hats off to all the others lending a hand paid and volunteers.
Nice job! Thank you for 30 minutes sanity to disrupt the non-stop insanity these days.
The kitchen looks amazing, pay no attention to what some people say, at the end of the day it's your house.
Have a safe journey.
Right!!!!!
I'm a contractor in North Carolina, and you Joe are what I would consider a master carpenter who has an outstanding work ethic! I love your videos and its a nice break from the craziness in life. Thank you for all you do, that you don't realize.
Don’t ever justify yourself to people in the comments, you and Melissa are good people and need not explain a damn thing to anyone in the comments section, UA-cam is a free way of entertainment, if they don’t like it, don’t watch it!!! Safe travels back north joe, can’t wait for the next one!!!
dont be an ass hole, this is what u get from people who have opinions...even though i agree somewhat with what u say no need to be like that....
Hi Joe & Melissa,beautiful just beautiful !!! I can’t stand open shelves either! That home has turned out amazing!Have a safe journey home to Melissa Joe.👏
well he has way too many cabinets so something open would like nice and not be cluttered so many damn shelves on he wall...im not saying its bad just one mans opinion ..everything doesnt have to be country pigs or chickens ...its a beautiful pretty much new home and i think thats why people are saying do this or do that...
The world would be a MUCH better place if there were more "Joe's" in it. His integrity is infallible, his patience and kindness are unmatched and he basically TAKES CARE OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING in is life. Be more like Joe and you'll be okay.
Thank you Jeremy.
Everyone has an opinion, huh? In the end, it's your decision cause it's your house. Looks wonderful!
Looks great joe!! Be safe on your trip home!
The amount of work and materials used in this house is amazing! You should be so proud. Congratulations on a job well done. I see your smiling face in Pennsylvania.
I absolutely love watching all of your videos as well as watching the whole video. I stay up past my bed time for these. Actually been watching for years now. Looking forward to more.
I am so proud of you Joe. You are a very patient person. I sensed very little frustration/aggravation from you, but sometimes a person only hears what they want to hear. Then as you pointed out, the area you are in had a flood plan in effect. It wasn't until the pumps stopped that the damages began to take place, all of which were out of your hands. It was sad to see someone who worked hard for their money have to suffer a loss like that. But look at the beautification/restoration the home came through. It is hard for someone to understand because they don't live in an area like that. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a safe 1400 mile trip back.
Joe I totally agree with the pantry door being a different color then the cuboards!! I’ve done a bunch of kitchen remodelings over the years & not a one that I did were the same color as the cuboards!! I’m thinking that people don’t realize that the door is for a pantry & not part of the cuboards!! Looks very good Joe!! It’s not your first rodeo!!
Safe travels. Great job on the house. Glad to hear your keeping it!!!
Nice job! You're one of a kind. I've never in my life seen anyone get so much hard work done in a short time! Congrats!
As someone who watched and savored all 7 episodes, I thank you for your efforts. Answering all those questions really helped tie up loose ends of the series. Thanks again, Joe.
Always a good feeling when a large job is complete. The better feeling is knowing that soon you will be home with family. You must be totally relaxed now as I see you have doffed your shoes!
The house looks amazing Joe!! Excellent job. About the pantry door and other issues people have. You and Melissa are keeping the house so all the interior colour schemes and such are based on your tastes, so other people can't make that call saying something doesn't look right. I have seen some things I thought were horrendous but the person living in the place just loved it. That is all that really matters is that you guys love the end product. I for one, think it looks great, especially compared to what it looked like after the flood.
I live in a very remote area. I never lock my front door when I'm gone. Like you said if someone wants "in", there's a hundred ways to gain access. Besides if the front door was locked and they decided to get through it, that would be one more thing to fix. Great job on the house Joe.
Sgt. Roos, John T. (Ret.) What a transformation!:) I'm so sorry that I thought you two should sell it. I thought that a 'Century' flood would be all that I'd need to sell, but I did grow up in MN, too, and tornados are a much bigger deal up North. I was born at North Memorial Medical, in MNPLS, MN, in 1965. We lived in Crystal, MN until 1975. We then moved to Wadena, MN until I went to the USMC in 1987. I'm living at Trinka Davis Veteran's Village, in Carrollton, DA. I hope to be able to get out in a year. I so admire how you and Melissa have lived your lived, and I hope I can do the same, once I get out... Semper Fidelis
I'll never understand why people question what or why you're doing what you're doing?? It's yours place. Your vision. I just enjoy watching the process and wish I had your energy lol. Looks fantastic!
Your home is lovely, I would have a hard time going back to the cold.
Believe you to be a Master Craftsman. That work you do, is top notch! House looks beautiful.
Joe, I know you will be excited when Melissa sees everything in person. You both worked hard on the house and she gets to see it completed with not even any footprints in the carpet. Only you would think of that. She might cry. I would. That’s a fantastic house.
she should be soooooo appreciative the man is an amazing guy in so many ways
I think the house is beautiful. Everyone has different taste and ideas of design, so I say do what you guys like and don't worry about anybody else.
Thank you Joe for bringing us along on this journey with you. You have much more patience than I do with some of the questions. I had a feeling that you were going to keep the house as much care as you guys were putting into how you wanted things to be done. The house looks great! I look forward to seeing what your next project will be.
Thanks again!
Looks awesome! My wife and I bought the same refrigerator from Lowes. FYI: The top crisper drawer will hold a thirty pack...just sayin
I like the white door!! Have a safe trip home.
I thought that was normal the one in my house is the same way and been that way for 20 years.
nothing at all wrong with that white door, i think if it looked the color of the cabinets it would be too blended and blah
I agree with Joe and Melissa in keeping the house .Joe's craftmanship is just too beautiful to simply turn around and sell. The effort is truly magnificent.
"Health and Wealth" Blackeye peas and cabbage or collards(green for wealth). The house looks outstanding! Pretty work Joe!! and Mellissa!!
Well said Joe! I admire your perseverance and tenacity to get things done. I don’t believe in walking away either. Doesn’t matter what others say, and it’s really none of their business anyways. Keep doing what you do best. You’re a master at your trade. Look forward to your videos and enjoy them a lot.
Incredible work Joe. Literally a modern art masterpiece, Can’t wait to see the run of upper cabinets as well as the center island. You do amazing work. Thank you for bringing us along on this project.
That's a beautiful home i like the kitchen the way it is right now. Thanks for the video
I like the idea of the stained glass pantry door. And I think those cabinet handles that Melissa wants would go great with a stained glass pantry door.💜🌞🌵😷
I knew you were the kind of guy not to walk away. Stand up guy. When life throws you a curve you roll up your sleeves and get to work. Much respect to you sir.
That fridge being moved to the other side made a huge difference for the better.
So happy to hear that you will be keeping it. You deserve a wonderful place like that to go and relax and play during vacation time. It will be a great party house. I hope to see you and your kids back down there enjoying it some day.
Melissa must be so proud of her man for all the beautiful work you have done.
Yes we await more from Melissa's mom. She is a hoot.
Looks great, I knew it would. Couldn't agree more on open kitchen shelving. Its fine in a cabin, because you are going wash everything b4 use, or box it up anyhow. But they are a dust magnet and a hassle to clean.
The house is beautiful, Such meticulous, thoughtful work and planning and a job well done! Enjoyed watching, love your work ethic. Glad you made it safely home.
Like most folks, I got hooked on JoeandZachSurvival from the Tent videos. Then I got hooked on NorthernSeclusion watching Joe fixing up the whole Minnesota property. With that said, it's been a LONG time since we got to see Joe fixing up the workshop at the Minnesota house. Watching you fix up that old building have become my favorite videos of yours. Can't wait for more. Need to see you sitting by the fire out there with Jony in the old recliners. Also, I'd like to see more videos like this where you reply to comments. Gives a lot of insight on why you do the things you do.
I am so with you and Melissa on the open cupboards. Maybe it's just us being stuck in our old ways.
Nope, I don't like open shelves either. They just get messy and dusty and you are always having to make the items on the shelves look nice and then you have to keep taking everything off to clean the shelves and things that don't get used often. If you have doors it keeps the dust down and you don't always have to make what's inside the cabinet look pleasing so you can hide a bit of mess if you need to.
@@piperlynne1 Yep! I had an antique hutch that the glass was broken out of. I had my grandmothers china in it. It was soooooooooo bad. I finally got a new to me, 1980's hutch, with the glass, and everything stays clean. I really don't care for new things.. haha
Yep! Too much to constantly clean. I do think they would look nice on the wall behind the sink. But not for me!
@@turkeyrunfarms yes I was just thinking that as well because of Melissa’s plants or maybe herbs on an open shelf by the sink.
Take everybody’s comments with a grain of salt Joe don’t let it affect your blood pressure
There's something that you touched on that I would like to say to all the folks. I lost my Dad four years ago and my Mum in September. I accidentally managed to record a few minutes of them together on my iPad. Can I strongly suggest everyone with elderly parents do the same. It's an enormous help on those crap days when you miss them the most.
Looks great Joe...if you ever run into road trouble in St. Louis let me know and I got your back. You come right through where we live in Lake St. Louis Mo. right at hwy 64 and hwy 70 when you go to Louisiana. Really enjoy your vids! Perry
Great professional workmanship on all work to your house thanks for a great video
Joe, everything looks fantastic. One step at a time and your home will be finishes. Safe trip home.
Joe, as usual your attention to detail is to be commended, the house looks amazing as it stands! Cant wait to see the next steps.
The house looks beautiful Joe, I wouldn't change a thing.
This had been an awesome restoration! Thanks so much for showing what is possible after such devastation.
The house looks beautiful 😍 I love the cabinets. You and Melissa made great choices and you do amazing work!
We just finished a kitchen remodel. Our house is 103 years old so, we went from bare studs out. Like you, we did all of the work ourselves, with the exception of the countertops. I have no tools for cutting or polishing stone. Yes! We have upper cabinets! hahaha! Can't wait to see your kitchen completed. It looks GREAT! You have done a SUPERB job on the ENTIRE home! God bless.
Love the videos!! Born and raised in north Mississippi. If we spent all of our time worrying about flooding and tornadoes, no one would live here. If it happens we band together and deal with it. love everything about the house! The people of Louisiana are lucky and assuredly happy to have you !!
Absolutely amazing! Love your work!
You and Melissa did great work! Nice complement to you!
❤️❤️❤️
Outstanding Joe, have a safe journey back to Mn.
You’ve done a wonderful job on your house, and it’s a shame so many people are so opinionated. At the end of the day, this house is yours and Melissa’s, and you can make your own choices.
I want to take a vacation down there just to stay in the new place!! Looks great
Only thing missing is Melissa's touch. She'll do a great job of giving it that down home feel. Bless you both.
not sure about her touch on some things but im not going to say anything because u can decorate ur home however u like it, but this is a nice beautiful pretty much new home so i hope she puts some modern touches on it and not chicken salt n pepper shakers or tacky drapes but again to each their own
An amazing end product. A stunning transformation! Great workmanship! First class.
This is the first video I've seen you in without a hat. I love the size and look of the kitchen. You and Melissa have done a good job of planning the whole house reno.
I am so very proud of you and Melissa! You guys are truly amazing! Thank you so very much for sharing your lives with us! God Bless you!
Joe you are a master wood worker Awesome job 👍
I like the counter between the frig and pantry because you have a place to put groceries while putting things away
Everything looks great Joe 👍👍. Y’all take care and God bless ✌️
True, there is no place to go that we don’t have to contend with the weather
Nice job Joe i dont care how you decide to finish your kitchen its nicer than mine .And i look forward to to seeing what you two decide on to finish it off .
Joe & Melissa,
I haven't noticed or seen a patreon link, paypal or email link for you guys. I would very much like to donate to you for help with things .... I know that you consider the house finished, but there's always something else that you might need. You have done an exceptional job redoing that house after the flood. Please continue to post and I will continue to follow along, I binge watched all of the tent videos. Blessings to both of you.
I agree with you Joe, always some severe weather risk in any part of the country; I say live your life, prepare, have insurance and move on, hope for the best.
As a person from WI who lives an hour north of Eau Claire, but lived in southern AL for over 10 years, your shows always interest me. Thanks for giving us a peak at your North South life.
Cashflowing the renovations. That’s the smart way to do it. Looks great.
The house is lovely. Glad you have vigilant eyes keeping watch for you when you're not there. As for other people's opinion of where/how you choose to live, my favorite response is always "it's not for everyone but I love it." Nobody can argue with that.
Great job on the house Bud. I bet you will be happy to get home. Safe travels!
Look I think the house really looks great everything turned out perfect you do good work I really enjoy watching your videos
Joe I have to admit I enjoy your vids and watch regularly... I didn’t remember your answering to the potential flood question apologies and thanks for answering. The house looks great! Great craftsmanship.
By the by We use Wyze cameras for our vacation home, they are inexpensive and work quite well.
Great video Joe!! Really like what you have done with the house!! It has been a long time coming. Good job on answering all those questions. Like some have said in comments, I like the pantry door like it is. If you want glass in it like you mentioned, cut the upper panel and frame in a piece of glass or maybe even some stained glass! Take care on your trip north. I guess you will be doing a video soon for your winter trip to the Tent. Can't wait. Juddie - J & J TOA
Looks super, welcome back to the north country, breath deep!
unbelievable transformation......the attention to detail is great.....thank you
The house looks great! Thanks for the Q&A.
Joe lots of work remodeling a house. We did ours and it took us 3 years. Kitchen was a nightmare. Just when you think you have everything perfect, up jumps a new problem. Good job.
The house really looks beautiful Joe. You and Melissa did a great job and I'm sure you guys will enjoy it!
Looking good! Thanks for sharing. Be safe on your drive home.
What a beautiful job you did Joe!
Drive safe on your way back north! Congratulations on the beautiful work in Louisiana! You are such a talent Joe.
Great video Joe, bless you, you more patients than me, some of the comments- safe travels buddy
Beautiful work! You are gifted!!!!
I like the white door! The kitchen looks amazing!
You did a great job on the the Louisiana house and it is a beautiful home. From your videos I remember what it looked like after the flood and all the damage the water did to it, what a difference from then to now. Have a safe trip home.
everythin
g looks marvelous joe. such nice work
have a safe trip back.
Looks so great! Thanks for bringing us along during the work.
Nice job. Drive safe and thanks for sharing.
I think the pantry door would look great with a blackboard door to use as a recipe plans and shopping list. Also the space between the pantry and fridge would make a great coffee and tea station. Well that’s my 2 cents worth 🤣
You know something Joe that kitchen on its own has more real estate than my whole flat put together, so I'm glad to hear you intend keeping it on as a residential winter home. Cheers mate for the update - now get back up to the farm and see to what is needed.
The house looks amazing and moving the fridge over to the other side was a great idea. I am looking forward to seeing your next project.
I live in South Alabama, we deal with the hurricanes, torrnados , but it's those storms that comes through with those straight line wind which causes a lot of damages. . . We all have some type of weather to deal with regardless of where we call home.
I love the house. I saw it just after the flood and thought Oh My! What a mess! I meant to mention in the other video, you were eating new years day food with Melissa's mom. Here in SC and GA we eat collards and black eyed peas for money & good luck. We always eat pork, they root forward for food, never chicken that scratches backwards for it's food. My friend is from Pittsburgh and they have sauerkraut & wieners. I'm glad you are keeping the house. I am hoping that one day you & Melissa will travel there together with the dogs. It all seems to be you or her going alone now. I guess when the works is done you can go and enjoy it. HUGS~Donna
I agree with everything your saying on your choses for the house. Great choses. I forgot all about it. We live in northern Colorado. In the end of 2013 we got over 13 inches of rain in 5 days. It was called a 1,000 year flood. We were very lucky that the flooding that happen ran of out lot but all around us it flooded for over a week. I felt so sorry for our town of Longmont. That flood in 2013 is rated the #7 worst flood in the US history.
we have a floating island and love it, can move it all over if we want and do sometimes depending! Im with you, cannot stand open shelving!
The house is beautiful. You and Melissa did a great job. Ignore those who seem to know it all. Your work is second to none.
