Hmm, youtube won't let me open this link 🤔
The short video you made almost at the end of the video you should use it as your intro, that will bring you more view. It’s fenomenal✌🏼😅 LOVE IT 😍 Hugs from New York 🗽
Hey!! I’m trying to buy a sweater and I can’t find your merch link???
I've been a YouGov member for over a year. Here in the UK the surveys are not daily but usually fortnightly. They are interesting to do.
You know if your relationship can survive renovating an abandoned house together, it's meant to be forever. Congratulations you two!
Been with you roughly form the very beggining (remember being in the first 100) and oh lord am I delighted and excited for you two! Go-go-go, Kaleb and Kim! Best wishes and staying here for many more videos and hours of content!
Same here. I just love these 2😀
Congratulations! Any couple who can peacefully rehab together can certainly have a successful marriage. Your tile is beautiful. ❣️👩❤️👨
I am another "from the beginning" person. Sometimes a project like this can pull a couple apart. You both seem to have grown closer.......Congratulations!!!
So the house is truly a metaphor! New adventure, new chapter filled with mystery, beauty - and hopefully, great comfort. Congratulations to you both.
Congrats Kim, it was all that staple pulling that won over Kaleb's heart.
I've never seen tile spacers like those, and at first thought it was a pattern on the tiles, lol. I wholeheartedly support your plan to purchase the lot next door!! You never know what might be built there if you don't. If things change down the road, it could always be sold later. Having survived 18 months of construction right behind my garage, it will be worth the peace of mind. I don't complain when a neighbor is working on their home, but developers are evil. Congrats to you both!
Kim please remember to take us shopping for the bridal 👰 dress . Keep us in suspense which one you choose but let us dream and enjoy the moments with you and your mother.
I’m laid up, recovering from surgery, and so thankful to have content like this to watch. Thanks.
Caleb, I just thought of something. In the Bathroom, you may want to use a ceramic shoe, or quarter round insted of wood. It would really finish off the floor well. I would even stand white tile on edge at the wall primeter to create additional water resistance between the tile floor and wood wall.

My theory is the marble is to catch condensation..as it's a porous material without sealant. Those pocket doors 😍🤤 .Congratulations on the engagement and being close to being done! Please snatch up the next door property if you can before the developers get it!
Saying YES is the BEST! and your tile looks FABOOSH! Like so many, I thank you for sharing your journey with us. How great is it to be part of a community like this one??!! In your way, you're not just educating while working on your house, you're also both making the world a better place. Congratulations guys!
Thanks so much! 😊
Watching you guys for a while now and I can't tell you enough what you're doing is my dream, it just makes me want to cry when I see people renovate old buildings, I can't thank you enough for not renovating this beautiful mansion but instead restoring it, what a labor of love, I admire you so much you have my dream job! Please keep up the wonderful work one day my dream is to do the same thing!
The powder room tile looks epic and will really set off the room when you're finished with it. Major congrats on your engagement. I'm always amazed at how you're able to get so much done considering you have so many irons in the fire.
So much fun in this episode! Congrats to you both. Defiantly need to get that land next door before a developer builds something ugly. That will become more likely as your house gets restored. The indoor drone shot with the dust was spectacular.
The floor compliments the color of the bead board beautifully ❤️
Wow - great news! I’ve watched you from the outset which was a happy accident and what a journey you two have been on but biggest adventure now lies ahead. Cannot wait to see how the house transforms and becomes the beauty it deserves to be and of course your home together. Much love from England xxx
Tiling and drywall are hard work. There’s an art to it. Your tile looks amazing. I love it. Great job.
I can't seem to convince myself that the tile wasn't always there, it looks so original
Congratulations Kaleb & Kim🎉 a beautiful love story, best wishes to you both!
That drone footage actually blew me away... So beautiful and professional looking. Definitely need more of those.
That's great ! Now it will be "OUR HOUSE" when you speak of it !
Congratulations It's nice to see a young couple getting married these days. Same thing was told me me and my wife. I hope you two have a wonderful life.
Congratulations Kim and Caleb so happy for you both.❤❤
Congratulations! I've been married for 15 years and it has been the best choice I have ever made. Great work on the house so far!
The tile looks beautiful! You are a jack of all trades, Kaleb! Congrats on you and Kim’s engagement! Kim’s ring is gorgeous!
Thanks so much!!
It must have been her staple pulling!
The real marble had a lip like the one on the sink it was a fear of overflow. They are never just flat marble that would just be silly. They served a purpose.
Congratulations!
My spouse and I had a late October wedding. Made nature our backdrop. Perfect temperature, beautiful leaves, very small intimate and cost effective ceremony.
Again, congratulations you two. Very happy for you both.
When I saw "She said yes" in the subtitle, I KNEW what the surprise was ! Congratulations to you both.
Congratulations!!! 🎉 You guys are a great couple and, like everyone else, I’m happy for you. God bless!
Congratulations on your engagement! Floor looks amazing-great choice! Hopefully you can buy the land next door! Do you know what the price is on it? I’m wondering if a go fund me might be in order to preserve the history!
Thanks guys for showing more of the neighborhood. I think it is important to the community in general. I think the garden is a nice thought. Congratulations, marriage is a lot, but 28 years later I would not change a thing. Enjoy the ride called life!
Fantastic job on the tile and so interesting about the marble. Huge congratulations to you and Kim on your engagement!
If that's only your second time laying tile, you have a gift. The only thing I know about it is, the more intricate the design, the more expensive. So that would be a high labor cost item! Love your vision for the future. Treat your marriage like you treat any other passion, with perseverance and attention to detail, and you will do well. Congratulations!
You future lineshaft shop sounds like a great idea. I'll be sending you some more wooden molding planes. Neal
Thank you Neal! We love you!
Such a beautiful choice of tile. Awesome. "We don't need no stinkin Tile Guy" when you have Caleb and Kim on the job. Wonderful work. It looks outstanding!! Congratulations to you both and God bless y'all!! John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
The amount of detail you've put into that tiny room is amazing! I can't wait to see what room you tackle next. Congratulations again on your engagement Kim and Kaleb xx
Congratulations Kim and Kaleb, I'm very happy for you!
You & Kim can be very proud of your very hard work breath life back in your fabulous house 😃
Love the idea of a garden in the lot! You should try and incorporate some native plants to Missouri to support pollinators and birds in the area. Just another preservation idea!
The tile really made the bathroom pop. Beautiful. I'm so happy for you guys.
MASSIVE congratulations!!! You could tell she was a keeper right from the start. I'm so happy for you. ❤️❤️❤️
That tile is fabulous! I can’t wait till the powder room is complete. It’s so close! About the marble slab, my great-grandparents’ Victorian house (built by a generation or two back in the family) had a slab of marble that the toilet stood on and I lived in a house from the 1910s that had a cast iron piece with decorative flourishes under the toilet. It was definitely a thing!
I think you’re smart to buy that lot asap - it would be devastating to have a little, punky, boxy house or, worse, a small 3 or 4 story apartment building tossed in there! Especially when you have such beautiful plans for the space.
Congratulations again on your upcoming marriage. The time is going to fly by - think about how it seems like Christmas was only yesterday and then realize that’s the same amount of time until the wedding! So happy for you both! 🥰
"i wanna make this a memorial garden and a workshop for all the tools"
me: stop making me cry, you jerk!!!!
me: *cries in love for this man and his love for history*
also the floor: gorgeous, sir
Heartfelt congratulations on your engagement. The ring is lovely and Kim will be the most beautiful bride. I’m so very happy for you both! The intervening months will fly by until you are husband and wife. Love and blessings to you. 💙🙏💙
I was wondring how long it would take Caleb to figure it out! Congrats!
Congratulations on your engagement! Big hugs from Spain! ❤ And how great that the bathroom is almost finished. The house is wonderful and it's so good to see all the love and care that you're putting into it. I'm in awe. Thank you for making these videos; I look forward to every one of them.
I have fallen in love with your beautiful home, looking forward to all the steps in the restoration!congratulations on your engagement,wishing you much happiness!
I've been watching from the beginning even though I don't comment often. I was waiting for this to happen! 😂
The ring is stunning!!! Congratulations to you both! ❤️
So happy to hear about the engagement! You are both such hard workers and are really dedicated to each other and your labor of love - the house. (Also your dogs). Cant wait to see the house finished, the second property bought and turned into a garden and rescuing senior dogs. And we get to come along on the journey - thank you for sharing.
"The most important thing in a relationship is not to look at each other, but to look in the same direction." This is certainly true for you and Kim. I'm so happy for you! 😊 I'm certain you have what it takes to make a great relationship. and marriage! Congratulations from Cologne ❣️, following your channel since season 1, episode 4. 😉 of course the bathroom tiles are really perfect for the house and the room!!!
You two are amazing. Anything you set your sights on you will accomplish. I love that floor.
Long time viewer, first time commenting. Congratulations to both you lovely humans and thank you for sharing so much of your lives, and your beautiful house, with us. That bathroom, omg. I've been so tempted to drive by and see the house because it, and yourselves, have captured my heart with your love of old houses and this city. True treasures in every way. Thank you for showing so many people the wonders that are here in our much misunderstood city. I'm not a native of St Louis, California transplant 20 years ago, but folks such as yourselves and the beauty of the city have me not wanting to live anywhere else, so Go Blues, go Kaleb and Kim, here's to you both and so many happy, wonderful days ahead.
You guys are made for each other! Congratulations on your engagement - "very married" indeed!!!!! Bathroom tile looks great, too!!
Awwww, so happy for you both! Sometimes you just know when people belong together, and that's true with you guys.
Congrats on the engagement, super happy for you both.
Very sweet news from a sweet couple. Congratulations, wishing you much happiness together. 💗🎉🍾
Congrats, so happy for you both. What a sweet and special couple you are. Many happy years and memories!!!!🎈🎈🎊🎉🌺♥️💕
I love to watch a perfectionist at work; totally agree with you re folks who do this for a living! The floor looks absolutely right and totally in keeping with the house…Jolly Well Done 👍👍
Congratulations on your engagement , and I fully understand your complete passion about Mr.Brown and Hall their tools and houses. How I wish I was 40 years younger (now 72). these things need to be preserved and loved. Keep up the good work and video's. Lana Australia
First of all CONGRATULATIONS to you both! What an absolutely exciting time in your lives. I pray God bless your relationship and your marriage!
I’ve been watching your journey for a while now (first time commenting ever on UA-cam) and you both are definitely people after my own heart. I once owned and lived in a Victorian-style home built in 1901. I use to say it was “the little house that could” because it was a small house but it had all the awesome attributes that the bigger Victorian homes had such as Awesome build-ins in the dining room and bedrooms, beautiful wood flooring, beautiful pocket doors, beautiful crown molding throughout and wainscoting around the dinning room, claw-foot bathtub, windows with the rope pulley, etc. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to leave me beautiful home. Watching your channel has really brought back a lot of memories and so much excitement when I see you restoring all those vintage treasures. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Again CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement all the way from California! 🎉
The tiles turned out stunning!! You have so much to be proud of!
Watching you two work together is such a pleasure. A labour of love on all levels. Congratulations you two. Thank you for sharing your renovation with us
It's a beautiful project. You guys are awesome, doing wonderfully by the way as well🙂🌷
Congratulations! You are a lovely couple. I enjoy your passion for your home and neighborhood.
Well a BIG Congratulations on your engagement!!😃 🎉🎈💕. Love the floor tiles! Great choice of colors and pattern!!👍 😊
You two are adorable together. Much happiness to you!
Thank you so much!
Kaleb, the tile looks fantastic. Congratulations on your engagement to Kim! 💍 💕
Best Wishes to the Bride to Be and congratulations To the future groom!
Many congratulations - on your engagement and the tiling;)
Again, congratulations on the engagement! You say that the tiling was tough, but the time lapse made it look like you had no problems. Great job! I can tell you are an artist, Kaleb. When you first laid t out in another room, I was not too impressed with the design, but seeing it in the bathroom definitely looks good! Very nice!
I always loved the "Harlequin effect" so I am in love with that floor. It looks amazing. Also: She said Yes! = EPIC bomb-diggity!!!!!!! Also, thanks for the tour of the Historic District that ran about 17:02. I SO enjoyed it as well as the music that accompanied said tour. Exciting!!
That is a beautiful ring. Much love and joy wished for you both.
I am so happy for you two! Congratulations!
You two are just so stinkin' cute! And another milestone reached, the tile floor! Looks awesome and another mad skill acquired. I think whoever owns the lot next door should just give it to you, frankly. The two properties are historically linked anyway. Rock on!
Congratulations!!! Both on the engagement and the tile. The tiles look beautiful.
It’s so nice you would make a memorial to Mr. Hall on what was his lot! I feel that if Mr. Hall and Mr. Brown could see everything you are doing for them (preserving their legacy), they would be ecstatic. They couldn’t have gotten more lucky to have the best couple restoring their home/land. I’m so excited for you both! It’s great that you can make it your home now ❤
That workshop/living museum sounds epic!
men! what took you so long to ask? i knew Kim was ‘the one’ for you the first time i saw her🥰
🤗CONGRATULATIONS🍾
One if the reasons for a solid piece of stone under the toilet,is that it is easier to level the toilet in both directions just by leveling the stone. Congratulations on your engagement. The way one makes commitments insures how long lasting things will be.
Congratulations! I’ve been following your channel since the very start, and if I remember correctly I was your 17th subscriber. Your dedication towards bringing your house back to its former glory is definitely admirable!
Firstly. Congratulations Kaleb and Kim. Very happy for you both. You guys must now know you have an extended world wide family who care and support you both.
Wow The WatchWorks. You truly are an “original”. I was early on, but somewhere sub 1000 from memory.
The tile is beautiful!! I had to watch the drone footage a few time because the house and the building were absolutely beautiful. I already said congratulations on the vlog page but Congratulations again to you both🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am so excited for you guys, you've both worked together to make your home so beautiful, and the house has come together beautifully, just as the two of you have. A huge congratulations to you both, you guys are a beautiful couple and you deserve every bit of happiness that will surely come flooding your way!
Congratulations on the engagement and upcoming nuptials! Very happy for you both.
BTW, that tile is PERFECT for that bathroom. Well done.
It is awesome to have all this on video for you both to look back at. Congratulations!! You both deserve to have your happy ever after
I just found your channel while watching other old house renovations but your content stood out to me due to your character and storytelling. You guys seem so genuine and nice 😊 Congratulations on the engagement 🎊🍾
CONGRATS!!! GOD BLESS!!!
It looks red white and blue, which I love! Black works 2. I'm so happy for you. You have done an amazing job so far. Back to Binge watching .
Congratulations on the engagement, the ring is beautiful! The bathroom tile looks amazing, great job!
Love the tile, great colors and pattern. Congrats on your engagement!
Love the powder room floor! Oh, I know, a functioning toilet is the best invention ever haha. Congrats again on the engagement 💍😄
Congrats! Marriage is the BEST! Such an incredible adventure you two have together!
Thanks so much!!
I think it's just down right courageous, the way you guys jumped into laying tile. Impressive result, as well.
So happy for you both! Congratulations!!
The tile turned out fantastic! Can’t wait to see it with the marble.
OMG......tile floor is AWESOME!!
Absolutely perfect Victorian tile pattern, superb. 👌🇬🇧
Congratulations to two wonderful people! Wishing you both nothing but health and happiness together!
It’s about time!!! This is the update I’ve been waiting for since Kim first appeared. I’m wishing and praying for your every happiness together.
