This has become my comfort series
Fr
me too
agreed!
Fr it’s the best thing I look forward to every week u:3
Same! It used to be a series from an American girl looking at abandoned Japanese houses to buy and renovate but once that ended I was left with a hole in my week 😢 Jenna rescued me lol
People underestimate the amount of money they can save by doing the grunt work themselves. Good on you two.
Yes that's providing they know what they are doing and don't get themselves maimed or killed in the process. Not everyone could do major construction 🚧.
@@Eneri-z9v Nick and his dad built a house when he was a teenager. Also, he has an engineering degree, specifically he's an electrical engineer, so I guess they have the experience thing covered. However, I would like to say that a lot of this stuff can be researched pretty easily on youtube and the internet in general. I know that a lot of car repairs walk-throughs can be found on youtube, and they are very helpful.
AKA sweat equity.
Yes, but sometimes you have to call in the pros (especially for the costlier finishes (flooring, paint, trim)).
And the video revenue pays the mortgage…..in the end it’s almost free.😂
Hearing bagpipes in the wild is the coolest experience. I have a neighbor who randomly plays them at sundown sometimes and its just such an epic ending to any day!
Sounds awesome. We have a busker here who plays bagpipes in the tourist area sometimes. He's not very good at it and hasn't improved in 9 years, but the city keeps issuing his busking permit every Summer. I wish they'd find a better bagpiper.
We had a neighbour when I was a kid who did that and watching this was so nostalgic! I wish I had a bagpipe neighbour now.
I had a neighbor who would blow a conch shell at sunset. i miss it
my across the street neighbor sits on his porch swing and plays his recorder every afternoon.
I don't know about that... I used to live across the street from a bagpipe player and his family. His son was learning to play bagpipes at the time. It was an experience, that's for sure. Now there's a professional opera singer living in that house and my ears are much happier.
favorite quote of the video: "Please be careful nikki, i can't loose you." so sweet.
Just means he has no life insurance.
HGTV never produced anything this entertaining. Your personalities, story telling, music and editing… so fun😊
They make it look easy. It is not
If you're allowed, when you rebuild the flat roof, add a 5-degree pitch to it and ensure the water runs off the low side into a gutter. It's only going to rot again if you don't, and no amount of tar and gravel will prevent the rot.
That sounds like extremely wise advice. I think they may take that into consideration going by how much water collects on that roof.
This is what we did when we rebuilt are flat roof MCM house…we had the option of hidden drains or architectural looking drains…we opted for the latter as we didn’t want any hidden issues within the structure and the drains actually look aesthetically pleasing and don’t look like your regular aluminum spouting
Exactly who thought a flat roof in Canada was a good idea? The weight of the snow alone puts stress on the roof.
@@mattweddle3107 In the Vancouver area, it's more the rain & not so much the snow. Flat roofs aren't a great idea in the Pacific Northwet!
EPDM roof is the answer
Nick is worth his weight in gold. I can't imagine what it would cost to hire someone with his expertise and knowledge to run this whole project ❤🕊
so true!! and he knows about WOOD!!! (news to me about good and bad wood)
@@gsagadin Right! Who knew? I just know it's expensive:0
his patience and kindness towards her is so sweet!! everyone could use a nick
I am sure he is multi talented.
Lmao! The shoot part made me laugh.
I'm loving them so much!
I hope when this is over, he makes an appearance from time to time.
i would happily watch 35- 45 minute long episodes of this! this series is actually so relaxing! the way you both bounce off eachothers energies is so funny!
Same!! 😄
And the music choices are fun
There's a lot of episodes the could split into like 2/3 20minute episodes. Just watching them work. Like the pool pressure washing once it was drained could've been its OWN video. Would've been so satisfying to watch!
There is a valid reason why there are succulent growing on the roof.
The benefits are enormous, not only financially, but Sedum green roofs can last longer than conventional roofs. These green roofs benefit the environment not only as a carbon sink, but encouraging the wildlife and biodiversity. When you fix the roof, I hope you replant new succulents
I hope they read comments, because there’s a lot they don’t know about things like the roof.
I really hope they see this and the planting helps sooo much with keeping the house cool/ hot
Please bring back the green roof. We have put sedum on all our flat roofs and it's so great. Better insulation, better water management, less heat stress on the roof and less radiant heat for the environment. Plus it attracts so many insects of the good kind. I can't recommend it enough.
In 2013 a green roof project went downhill (quite literally) in Riga, Zolitude shopping centre, when roof construction gave up and the roof caved in. Among the deceased were shoppers and rescuers. Be very very very smart and careful about excess weight on roof, as that can cause big troubles in future.
@@paulakalnina4654 with all due respect to the victims, this is the case with any construction. Calculations need to be made to ensure the structural strength is sufficient to carry the projected weight, including water weight and potential snow weight.
The green roof in itself was not the culprit.
Since Nick has an engineering degree, I'm sure he is aware of this.
I can see Jenna and Nick being so cute as an old elderly couple 😂 they’ll be talking about this renovation forever 😅
That's a tar and gravel roof. My parents, now deceased, lived in a mid-century modern house and they had tar and gravel on their roof. I remember having to scrape excess gravel out of the gutters every year. They have better materials for flat roofs now. We use a Metacrylics product for the small section of our house that is flat. I'm really enjoying this series!
We have those to! Our neighborhood is build in 1973 or something. I live in the Netherlands and we have all houses in a big row attached to each other. So we still have the same roof.
Fun fact the gravel is a perfect base to plant special roof plants in. It helps with isolation!
@@JosieThenFarmerohh that's soo cool that You can plant d actual plants into that 😶
Cover raw food areas with tarps. Otherwise your saving money doing alo yourself!!!
Eichlers are notorious for using them. Many renovators are renovating with metaldeck so can put solar panels on.
It's funny because those things were EVERYWHERE in our area in the 80s and 90s. People had those white sparkly rocks that you use in landscaping up on their roof all over the place here.
I look forward to each new video. I’m 72 and all my life I wanted to redo an historical home. Now too late. I’m a little nervous for you guys to be on the roof. When Nick lost his balance for a second there I gasped out loud.
It's never too late! Just dig in!
If you've the resources, just go for it❤ In my country people stop doing or dreaming stuff after 50..
It’s too late. ❤
@@torontoguy1097 I am 67, it's not too late for me! I'm building fences, outbuildings, huge landscaping gardens and growing vegetables. I'll slow down in 30 years. Maybe.
Even if you no longer have the mobility or strength , you could find one and design or help someone else design and renovate one ! If you do have the mobility, go for it !!!
FYI: Solar Panels are surprisingly cheap these days. Might as well install some while you are redoing the roof (if the structure allows for the additional weight etc.) :)
@@timhahn a 430W panel is less than a $100. If you can diy the majority the ROY will be less than 10years I imagine. Sounds solid enough to me :D
@@tschuuuls486 Right, but when you need to spend on rebuilding everything after already purchasing the property, Tools, Materials, gas back and fourth to where they are currently living, and also normal living expenses. every little additional thing adds up quite a bit. but I also highly advocate for adding solar if the budget allows.
@@l1t7l3ph0o7 no, I get it but you could run some cable runs and make sure you can add it easily after moving in. It's not my house do what you want :D
And work good in north sweden so should not be a issue in Canada
@@l1t7l3ph0o7 maybe they could just do the wiring and add the roof weight now and later on add the panels after the house is finisehd.
WHO RAISED THIS MAN!!! Hats off to you, nicks parents 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 he honestly seems like an amazing man. You seem to be a great couple and are really good together. I love to see it 💕
Wow! Thanks for showing the difference in wood. It really illustrates what people mean when they say “they don't build them like they used to.”
I live in the district. The new homes are built at incredibly higher standards. So yes, built exceptionally better.
That was ywo different species of pine. No real big revelation. Although, that old growth, clear grain was nice to see.
Wood is identified SPF meaning you either get Spruce, pine or fur when you buy lumber. They are not all equal…the original wood is likely all fir.
Also the comment about how hard the old wood was is expected... Wood actually hardens with age if if is kept dry....it always harder to cut or nail into old wood as apposed to new wood. They were definitely different species also..
@@Project-Ranch Fir.
This is part of why homes don't get build fast enough in Canada. To much red tape/permits that can delay projects for months and sometimes years. On a side note, both of you should be using some sort of fall arrest system when your working on the roof for your safety. I have worked at heights for many years, and even the shortest fall can be life altering. Goodluck with the rest of your Reno!
Their roof is flat so there isn't much risk for falling off. (the slant in the roof isn't bad enough to be dangerous to walk on)
@@zebraloverbridgetthe risk is falling through!
@zebraloverbridget, you say that, yet it only takes 1 wrong step or trip to debunk your whole statement..
@@zebraloverbridget Within 6 feet of a drop off they should have a fall arrest or guard rail in place for safety. It doesnt matter if the roof is slanted or flat. I have years of fall arrest training so Im not just making this up.
Should definitely use fall protection of some kind. I have a coworker that used to be a roofer. He fell from a second story roof and broke his leg so badly that they couldn't repair it, it had to be amputated just below the knee.
If there is an award for best video series on UA-cam, this wins it. It's mind blowing how much you've already accomplished and the music and watching you work together brings pure joy!! Sorry for all the permit delays though. Stay safe❤
You have a “hot tar and gravel” roof. It was common on commercial roofs and 50’s style flat roofs. It gave a layered tar roof and the gravel created a greater surface area for heat distribution. Now they are called “build up roof” with multiple layers of rubber sealed with hot tar and a top asphalt layer. A lower slope roof has to completely sealed. Shingles only work on a sloped roof.
yep! was gonna say hot tar n gravel + living roof style, great stuff for hotter climates
Common on most flat roofs in the US South.
From the back deck roof overhang I could see a marina so close they could walk to their moorage and take their boat out. The house comes with a lifestyle. Super cool. The house is even more worth their time now I've that!
Nice to know. Thanks for construction education 😊.
I was going to say the same. Hopefully they have a roofing company lined up that does flat roofing
Get them to 1 million subscribers. They need their permits. I need to continue to watch! Thanks.
I flippin love watching you two renovate this house, your parents must be chuffed to bits with your work ethics. Years from now, you can show your loved ones what you did.
The "Please be careful Nicky, I can't loose you" made me tear up. I can't tell you how many times I have heard something like that from my wife.
I’m guessing what was granted was a Remediation permit, which basically means you can remove the stuff causing ongoing damage and add protection from further damage. That protects the house while you complete the rest of the permitting process.
Old growth lumber is great... but so is fall protection! Please get some asap, as it's very easy to have an accident when you're ripping stuff out.
The lack of safety in this video is exactly why the city requires them to have permits 😅
So wild that you're nearly at 1M subscribers. I've been watching since maybe 150k. I do miss your crafty vids, but I am also loving the house reno vids, and now my boyfriend watches along religiously too!
Also I love how much Nicky seems to make you genuinely laugh, it's beautiful to see!
I'm anxious for 1) How that's going to be covered short term for the coming rains 2) How a flat roof even works in the first place.
I am surprised by the good quality of the wood on the roof. It will not matter because of the structural issues that must be resolved. Just be careful, walking on a roof with no safety, especially in that condition. Nick said it best, its a 200-foot drop at the end. On the bright side, the structural engineer should have everything he needs now.
They should be using some sort of fall arrest system when working on the roof, I agree.
Hahaha...I thought you were joking. But that giant sheet was actually the permit 😅.
No wonder it's expensive, it's basically art gallery sized!
You could make curtains out of the permit.
Right lol they're paying for them to print the permit
Its probably an uppity area and they make them that big so the neighbors quit calling code enforcement everyday
It does the heart good to hear 'A Scottish Soldier' on the pipes. Loving this series, you're both doing a fantastic job. Much love from Scotland. x 😊
the view from your roof !!!! insanity. this is truly going to be a dream home in every way by the end of this series!!
There's a whole ecosystem on that roof! And basically a pond! No wonder the roof developed leaks.
This is the best series. Always makes me happy when a new video pops up. I could watch you two for hours. Well, I guess I have.
PLEASE use this type of music forever. It is so cute, it sounds like old recordings. I just love it.
It's so calming ☺
The fact that you OWN a property that's falling apart, and you still have to wait for someone's permit to fix it is WILD
Edit for all the concerned commenters: I'm not saying that you should do things yourself if you don't know how to do them properly. I'm saying that if you wish to hire a professional to inspect or fix it, you should be able to lol
It's some serious government overreach for sure.
Permits exist so that future owners don’t buy a disaster.
Then small people obtain control of the process and flex. @@Shmancyfancy536
I’m surprised to see all this red tape happening in Canada, I thought they were much more laissez-faire up there
we really aren’t, we have huge internal trade barriers and municipal matters are kafkaesque.
I love Nick’s ramp/chute! I could tell what he was going for immediately. what a great idea!!
I helped with a teardown many years ago and the builder took extra time recycling as much of the OG wood in the house. think the house was built in "32". even the damaged pieces were hella stronger then the new stuff.
The ‘Alright job’ joke was classy! Your throwing technique from the roof gets better and better Jenna you Olympic house restorer!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Half a permit is better than another denial I guess! Woohoo!! 🎉
It's a tiny start ❤
I'm sure at this point you are well on your way with the roof, but going with the succulent theme, having a "sod" or green roof is actually energy efficient and gorgeous. Imagine donkey tail or string of pearls succulents dripping from the eaves! Conversely, particularly for flat roofs, there is a foam based product that both insulates and reflects heat and is almost no maintenance and lasts longer than a regular roof.
Yesss agreed!! A green roof would be so lovely and fun for the house 😊
I didn’t even know succulents grew in that climate
Every time I see the view I fall more in love with your house. ❤ Jenna that view is Impressive. I'm glad you guys are doing the work and not just hiring it all out. You 2 are doing a great job.
The view is everything. I think living in this house (when completed) they will live with very little stress or anxiety cause all they have to do is look outside.
Jenna, I started watching for curiosity around what it would look like when done. I have been here since you purchased it. But I have to say, I have stayed because of how you two interact with each other. How kind you are, and how you show people how to do a project without letting frustration win. Thanks for such great content.
I'm in North Delta. Now each time when it rains I will think of your roofing plight. You're the reason I am hoping for a stretch of sunny days to dry out.
in my country we just do whatever renovations we want and hope no one notices its illegal for 20 years (its automatically legal then)
That should not be a flex.
@@alirashid4800 it is, though.
@@leeluvslife Sure if you say so.
I think that’s a great rule. If it lasts that long it’s sound.
@@MrsAnnaDL???? Hahahah. Jeez.
That anxious feeling when you're waiting for someone to arrive. The worst. lol
The bagpiper is an awesome addition to your neighborhood!
So much better than amplified rap!
That's how you know it's Canada 😂
So close to 1M subscribers. 🙏 My husband bought a 1950s farm home just before he met me. We lived there when we were first married. (Now we rent it out.) I always felt good during the heaviest part of the remodeling when we got rid of old walls, ceilings, etc. we would always say, “Out with the old, in with the new!” Your house will look and smell so much better getting rid of all things damaged. 💙🏠
I 100% know how frustrating this whole process can be (my last house also sat vacant for many years and had many of the same issues that I had to DIY). But I really wanted to thank you for the patience and constant positive attitudes you both portray in these videos. I know it's hard smiling for the camera all the time, but personally, I appreciate a good dose of positivity in the face of adversity.
Gravel is for heat distribution, preventing the asphalt from dehydrating too fast and holding down the roof against high speed winds. The succulents are added for even more heat distribution and preventing the roof from becoming hot very fast
I’m pretty sure the succulents were the unintended consequence of not maintaining the roof for so long
I hope they see this
@@secret_badassabsolutely
I spent two years revising plans to get a permit to a home project and finally hired a local architect who tweaked them and the approval was first try with those! The architect charged 3k since we had most of them done ourselves. The architect also agreed to deal with the planning department if needed.
Be careful Nicky. We can afford to lose you either. You make Jenna laugh and that dear sir is priceless!
Both of them!!! Love this series ❤
7:35 Douglas fir vs pine. Back in the day wood was thicker as well.
I was born and raised in WV. I saw my uncles house in one of the shots of the cliff face east of your place. My brother spent his entire working life building highend houses all over that area.
He asked me if I thought you had a builder lined up yet. He's retired but his question was from his knowledge that there are fewer and fewer quality builders every month.
What's your plan in that regard.
Oh, the permit thing, he said SNAFU. Typical WV
If demo work was an Olympic sport, you would win all gold medals! I am so impressed with your ability to do all these vigorous physical tasks!
When she said please be careful Nicky I can’t lose you 😢, they have the sweetest relationship
Talking about old growth lumber. My house was built in the US in 1883. We have pine beams in the basement and pine cross beams. They are so dense that we cannot even drive a nail into them. Our kitchen cabinets are 1950s plywood and if and when we update there we are going to do what we can to rehab the couple that have quirks. New materials are just not great quality.
It blows my mind that you don't already have 1M subscribers.
I love the bagpipes ❤someone in my old neighborhood played. I’d sit out and listen ❤to
The city preventing you from restoring an eye sore is the most annoying thing I have ever heard (as far as permitting goes). There is some kind of power trip going on in that city…
I think it's probably the fact they are doing everything themselves lol if they had a Licensed gc I doubt they would be getting this much flact
@@krystalzeogas8814 Yeah, that is likely. I think they did reference needing an Architect plan in their last video. The house is built on a hillside, so maybe the city has a risk scale for permitting. The lack of guidance and repeated denials just seems so unnecessary. In my city if your permit gets denied you have to pay again and again. Hopefully they don’t have to do that.
There’s a power trip going on in all of Canada
Where I live new home building is pretty much our biggest employer so that is where the majority of the political power lies. And why there isn’t more of a push towards rehabbing existing homes. So stupid and wasteful.
it's the same in the UK. Always a pain in the butt getting planning. They'd rather the beautiful old houses crumble than make it easy to renovate them (with all the red tape it ends up costing a fortune to reno an old house which is such a shame, because they're my absolute favourite).
Oh precious ones, this grandma is so proud of you both. Your love and respect for one another is lovely. Please be careful and take care. Always look forward to a new video to see the progress.
Let’s get Jenna to a million! This channel is cozy and sweet and full of good times.
Can’t wait till you get the permits and can give us longer content because you’ll be able to do so much more! So excited to see the progress of this house.
I love seeing you working in the house. I’m sorry to see you having issues with local officials for permits. You’ve done so much and I can’t wait to see it as it prigrrsses
I tore apart 1 room in our basement down to the studs last weekend and I am still physically hurting. I can't imagine how you guys are still going on all this renovation.
My back hurts just watching 😆
They’re younglings… 🐣
For the roof disposal slide that Nick build, you guys can loop a piece of tarp or cloth along the ramp so that you can just pull the cloth to slide all the debrid down like a manual conveyer belt.
LOL! My sister lives a few houses away from a Bagpipe Guy! She's in the much smaller Vancouver, WA. We usually only hear him during nice weather when his windows are open.
Loving this series Jenna, in today's world it's so refreshing to see two hard working people of your age.
You deserve to get to well over a million subscribers ❤🎉
Hi Jenna, Wayne here in Southern California. I found your channel due to your house renovations and I am glad to have found it. Great job thus far. I can't wait to see where you take it from here. The DIY spirit is alive and well within you from taking the roof off to cutting and moving the steel beams etc. I watch another channel called escape to rural France who is doing a huge renovation as well and wanted to let you see how he is moving huge steel beams my himself and may e some of what he does can help you all save some money. I am not affiliated with his channel but rather just a watcher of great content. I wish you the very best and look forward to seeing what comes next. Good luck and stay safe. Wayne.. aka HandyManWayne
Some unsolicited advice, now that the drywall and floors are removed the water inside isn’t a huge deal. As long as it can dry it eventually
will. Also would recommend disconnecting power at the meter and rather than main breaker! Good stuff though
OMG! Would the city let them not disconnect power at the meter? It's not safe to disconnect it at the main breaker because hot wires are still inside the house.
this is solid advice! no need to rush down and put all those buckets there
@@CricketsBay typically utility company owns the meter. Breaker will be accessible for safety reasons. Should be locked out and tagged out tbh.
Save as much old growth lumber as possible for later use.
Anyone that isn’t watching these videos is missing out in a big way. They’re informative, entertaining, motivational… must-see-TV.
I still find it amusing to see how much difference there is in permiting requirements depending on the city/state.
And how permit complexity is usually a sign of incompetent regulators. On the other hand, there are localities where the permiting process literally HELPS the DIY'ers. My best experience w as in Virginia where I did my first finishing of a basement and they charged me almost nothing and they even sent an inspector BEFORE starting the work to explain all of the expected construction standards (like distance between studs and max separation of outlets). It allowed me to eassily passs the following inspections without any issues. Sadly, I never saw such helpful inspectors again... at other locations they always tended to be lazy, crooked or jerks.
My go to channel, I’m living vicariously through you both as I’m disabled and bed bound most of the time. Great video, as always ❤❤❤
Same! enjoying the vicarious adventure, it's a gift
@@heidi4752 it certainly is, just love watching this series so much 🥰
I love how supportive you are with each other. You two make an amazing team! ❤🥹
I saw where y’all make the news! I was hoping it would pressure the city to permit yall!
Same 😂😂😂
i love how he calls you love 🥺💕💕💕
Jenna your form when throwing the roofing debris into the bin is 🥇🥇🥇 Plus the view from the top of your view may indicate you two need a roof top perch! Love your videos and they’re well done!! Watching you from over here on Vancouver Island!
So, when driving around a month or so ago, we noticed a wide tube-thing hanging off a roof. We later learned it's for routing construction debris. Seems like a cool concept and clean to use.
We see those a lot here - usually made out of chained together trash cans with the bottoms cut out.
I'm surprised your engineer didn't tell you to shore up the roof with posts for safety concerns. That could have been done without permits and you could have felt safer.
Yep, laminated beams supported by steel props from the ground level all the way up to the underside of the cantilevered roof structure and anywhere else applicable
I appreciate how open you guys are with the permit stuff but watching the struggle with the permits makes me crazy.
Its not a struggle, I deal with permits and higher level planning applications all the time. This is ignorance and inexperience on their part.
@@D-2456 Ignorance and inexperience are the CAUSE of the struggle.
GOYFHHYSB.
Rocks are still used on some flat roofs today and they do serve a purpose. They stop the roofing membrane from lifting up from strong winds. Because putting nails in the middle to hold it down would make potential leak spots. And it also protects the Membrane from Hail damage.
This was a feel good video....one that brought a few chuckles to an old lady! Great dump ramp. I really was wondering what on earth it was.
We went to the hardware store every weekend when we were building our house - for screws. I swear. We kept buying boxes of 1000 and we constantly ran out. Oy. I'm sure you'll get a tool sponsorship, but until then some thrifting tools at garage sales content from the two of you would be gold.
I 100% agree.. you even get older tools at a fraction of retail price, and they're much stronger than some new products that are available..
@@MrHianga Truer words have never been spoken!
There are also tool libraries now!
Let’s get Jenna to 1mil subs!
Good to see you can finally start working on the roof! As for the push broom, they're a common sight in stables and riding schools, don't hesitate to use them with shorter motions to make a full pile that can then be shoveled away! It'll be less tiring for your arms and lower back that way.
Concrete forms zip tied together, bungee cord them onto an extension ladder. Works amazing for what you guys are trying to do for trash disposal on the roof. Your own custom debris chute
Jenna’s throwing form is A++
You should take all that moss off the roof and put it in your yard to grow a moss garden among the rocks.
Also, the bagpipes are so cool!
You guys are the most amazing worker-bees! I am constantly impressed with how much physical labour you two accomplish ❤🎉
That shute for your roof... Steeper angle... And wax it with ski wax and ski iron... Could borrow one... And could get ski wax 2nd hand on craigslist... Your viewers would likely send you anything you need...
Taking replacement of wood supports with metal to the max, without demolishing the house, a new steel support framework with horizontal bracing could be built inside. This would have four main uprights running from the ground to the corners of the top roof between the chimney stacks. Horizontal beams just below the roof would stabilise the uprights at that elevation. Hence the top roof is supported and further down beams would provide mounts for cantilevers which to the outside hold up the the deep eaves which overhang the balcony in particular. In addition the roof windows would sit upon this horizontal steel beam keeping them in place. Further cross ties within the floor at lounge level would hold the frame legs together at a lower elevation. Overall this cross braced steel frame would replace a significant portion of the original timber framed structure.
I look forward to your updates every week!
You should build a rooftop deck up there so you can sunbath or sit and watch the sunset or sunrise. That is going to be an amazing house.
It’s the Pacific NW. No one sun bathes; it rains all year, except maybe August.
@@brendasnow8255 I didn't know where they're located. They could still use a rooftop deck to view sunrises and sunsets.
The City is crazy they are getting rid of a dangerous home with people willing to restore its beauty and safety. Good job. I'm very into everything you are doing. I'm in awe of your view. Way to go Jenna. 😊😅🎉❤😊
Love following Jenna and Nick on this renovation/reconstruction and look forward to each update. Really appreciate that I can enjoy them and their story from down here at the bottom of the world in New Zealand.
Selling the succulents is a good idea. People would love a part of your home… sans mold 😂
Love your editing, it’s clever and funny. Makes me smile!
Best part of the week is here!!!
Everyone on the roof needs to be wearing harnesses that are properly secured.
That is too simple - Real workers do not need harnesses! LOL - Kidding. Glad the work safty people are not watching me. heheheh
Been waiting for this, it’s my weekly ritual to sit and watch your update lol
Okay the ramp Nick built is straight genius. 👏👏👏
I have a flat roof area that I had a .60 glue down neoprene membrane. Done about 6 years ago in
Alaska. Still in perfect shape.
Just saw the interview on cbc y’all are actually famous now😂😂 guess that’s why your neighbors were so friendly last episode
might use that pump you had in the pool to get the puddles of water off roof to help things stay dry.
