Coming from England where the majority of houses are brick and concrete I never imagined all the issues you could face with wooden framed houses. Love it like always 🥰❤😍😘 Thank you 😊
Right? I almost can’t believe that you can take apart your house like that,piece by piece 😱 coming from Germany, most of the houses here are also made of stone, no way you can move windows or doors like that.
Ikr?! From my perspective they look like a play house. Not very sturdy. If we wanted to renovate we need more machinery. Both have their pros and cons. Dry building it's not a thing where I live, even when I know how it's done and how it works, it still baffles me when I actually see it 😮
@@ificouldiwouldliveunderwat7058 haha same 😝 it's also funny to be able to see the ground underneath the house.. ours has a concrete base so that's not possible 😄
Coming from Minnesota it’s hard to imagine too! 😂 We mostly have concrete basement or at the very least concrete foundations here. Love it though!
Same here. Watching this video from India and wondering how people live in this structure . Having lived in brick and concrete houses all my life, i cant imagine living in a wooden house. I feel anything can fall apart any moment . And when Macenna was sawing the walls down, I was like what if burglars saw your walls down and enter the house ? I am terrified.
I always feel like these renovation videos are never long enough, I’m so engrossed in the video and then it’s over. 😭 Love what you’re doing with everything! So excited to see more.

You make me want to buy a fixer upper... You're doing an amazing job!!
😱 Two of my favorite UA-camrs! THE WADS! 😍😍😍 Kiiiiim! I luff you. I also love Macenna.
@TheWads Kim that will call for a lot of "WoW" moments. Love that clip of you and the baguette😂🥰
Awww two amazing youtubers here!!! Love you both!!

Macenna’s excitement for this whole process is what absolutely makes this channel - it’s great to see her filled with joy at something most people would find very stressful. She’s a breath of fresh air.
He Thought "Just a girl, she won't notice" *He didn't know WHO he was talking to!* HeHeHe!!! Your involvement attention & dedication to a project is outstanding!!!
Every time they take walls apart I'm like "where's the insulation?". American homes are built so differently, especially that long ago. This house will be such better quality after all these renovations!
I was just thinking the same! Like, the walls are just boards?
Oh yes and the walls are so thin! In Europe our outer walls are probably double thick! And wayy better insulated. But Macenna is doing a great job in this reno phase!
And the floors? OMG, you lift the floor boards and there’s just earth underneath.
Same, but then I was like why am I surprised when we replaced some sheetrock in our house, I was shocked to see no insulation! We were told it's not needed though you can add it if we wanted it.
After the crazy ice storm that hit Texas and the other states thus past winter I do hope y’all put in insulation.
A little reminder for you remember to take a step back and look at how far you have come and congratulate yourself remember your doing amazing sending love from the uk
Just in time! I just finished watching Lonefox's apartment tour and now this😍 My stress just instantly fades away when i watch u guys, i get excited everytimeee. I love watching and following on to your journey. More power to you, Macenna!❤
awww yayyyyy
Lol just came from Lone Fox too
Same! I finished Drew’s video, saw MaCenna’s IG story that she was uploading and waited 😄
I just came from Drew's channel also. Just what I needed today. Two of my favs.
Same! Lone Fox and then MaCenna. Made my day!
This may sound strange, but if you are looking for somewhat textured flooring - please walk on it barefoot. I’m mean we had Smartcore vinyl from Lowe’s installed and it’s more textured than I was expecting.
I just wanted to say, I’ve been watching a few channels where people are renovating homes. By far your videos are soooo much better! You are so informed and share the info in a clear interesting way. You don’t leave out any details. I think you are doing an amazing job and your videos just keep getting better and better.
Ive waited so long to see a production like this. Real true steps of someone rehabing an old house, salvaging and reusing, with a great design eye and details on how you make ut happen. Thank you for taking the time to shoot, edit and produce this channel.
I just looooove the fact that you're salvaging so much!

Coming from Ireland it's so weird to see rain hold you guys up. If we stopped for rain we'd never build anything
It comes down in sheets. 5 inches in 30 minutes isnt uncommon.
it's almost like Ireland is in a completely different part of the planet when compared to Texas and the materials used in construction are completely different...... and they say Americans are self-centered....
Good grief she made an innocent observation/comment based on life in region. What’s with the bite? Y’all okay?
dont worry Rachael - your comment was understood - some people just read it with a different tone - and way over reacted!!!
So many but hurt replies 🤣 it's the same in the UK we will continue to build in rain or snow. So yes, it is weird to hear things being stopped by rain etc...
Thank god I was losing my mind with no new cottage videos 😂
I need more!!

exactly. I don't like all the thrift videos. I come here for her diy and renovating videos.
You should make the door ADA compliance: 36. Easy to get furniture and appliances.
Especially since its been stated as her "Forever Home" We all get older & sometimes need assistance aids. Or if mama & dad come stay... ADA Should Be Standard, not everything (handrails) but spacing for sure.
@@marshawargo7238 Working in ems has made me realize how small some doorways and hallways are. When I build a house I definitely will be making things wide enough for stretchers and wheelchairs. haha
My 1920s house only has one door we can bring furniture through and it's just shy of 31 inches wide. Finding a couch that could fit was a nightmare!
Hi MaCenna (and whoever else would read this)! I've been following this entire renovation (am loving it). You have so much attention, deep care, and dedication to this project that really shows through how much time and thought you put into it.
During my devotional time today, God reminded me of this video (I watched it yesterday) and how the amount of attention, care, and dedication you have for this project is how much (and more) God has for me (and you and everyone else).
Thanks for your dedication to this house. It's going to be a beautiful transformation.
WARNING:. I personally know two people who had MAJOR issues with the Trex decking. One, if it gets direct sun it gets so hot that you can't walk on it with bare feet and it will burn Kinsley's paws. Second, the heat caused the boards to warp. One person just replaced the warped boards and moved shortly after so we don't know how well that worked. The second person had pets so opted to replace the Trex with treated wood so they could walk on it. And it felt soft when it was hot and gave under their weight like an unsupported floor. This caused me to change my plans and I replaced my deck with cedar that will outlast me and I don't have to worry about burning my puppies feet. The first deck faced east and had partial sun exposure. The second deck faced south and had full exposure. Just FYI.
I just said the same thing about the Trex. Same issue. Glad you brought I up too.
Thank you for thinking about Kinsley’s paws! ❤️🐶
Thanks for the info. 👍🥺
I have Ultradeck and it doesn't get too hot to walk on. Google "ultradeck vs trex" and you'll find lots of good info! 👍
My mom has a really really old home that my grandpa and his family lived in growing up, so it makes my heart so so happy to see you saving so much of the original house! So many people who live by my mom rip apart the beautiful old homes and it is so upsetting!
Having done a number of old buildings, huge and medium-sized, you are being careful and organized. I applaud you both for working well together and supporting each other. Enthusiasm but tempered with good sense. So good to have your parents near who have experience too. Stay safe and well. And your little dog ,too .
Amazing how your Dad is so good with that giant machine! He's like a surgeon, so precise!!! I'm really enjoying binge watching this whole renovation/building process!!!!
With the old porch columns you could build a canopy bed!

You said the posts were different, are you sure some weren't just upside down?
Yesss I love that idea! It would totally suit the period style! Maybe for one of the cottages?
It’s so fun watching these behind the scenes moments of your renovation and learning lessons along the way with you. Love it!
MaCenna I love your energy, you make me so inspired to make my home dreams come true one day! Also would you consider putting closed captions on your videos?
Hi, MaCenna! It’s so nice to see that you try and salvage everything. The spindles from the porch railing make great candle holders. You can also cut them down and use them for feet for wood display risers. I can’t wait to see what you do next!
You are SO expressive and full of joy. It's Lovely to see.

Your momma has been such an amazing help! But it's so lovely to see Romeo there too, being part of the process ❤
Such a fan of you MaCenna, I love your dedication to saving, reusing, and even recycling what cant be saved/reused. I am so passionate about homes and interiors as well because so much is just wasted. Love you for being mindful!
Curious about the guest houses. Will they be started soon, or will you finish the main cottage first. Loving these project videos! The contractors have to be impressed by all you have done. You’re a beast!
Wondering the same bcse if I am remembering correctly - she said they would complete the guest cottages first so they could live in one while the main house was being done?
I love how your dad loves playing on his tractor. So cute!
Romeo is a great guy , I noticed he is always helping you. You guys are doing great and making so much progress. I like seeing your parents helping you two. Great team.
I'm so glad you guys are doing so well with the cottage! Can't wait for the prettiness to come!
By the title I thought something worse than the porch..
So glad you could fix those beams..it's so interesting to see how buildings are done in different countries.
In Portugal everything is made by concrete and bricks..you have to break a hole if you need to fix the floors..
Thank you for sharing..now things are foing to be faster and better..
Much love from Portugal!! ☺☺☺
You're such a joy to watch and your desire to recycle, reuse and repurpose is both admirable and infectious 💗
I feel you! Working on remodeling my house all by myself 😬. Texas weather is brutal but, it’s so satisfying seeing the progress ❤️🙏. I have learned and been motivated by you! Love you!
With the side door set up, this could be a lovely chance to add a really nice slope/ramp towards the road, while having curved steps towards the driveway! With the house being a bungalow it would be a good idea to make it as accessible as possible, either for parents or yourselves in the future (thinking of wheelchairs, prams/strollers)! It would look lovely with an outdoor tile pattern in the concrete to make it decorative!
Macenna, what a journey! First I want to say how great it was to see you & Romeo working on the house you’re such team second I love it when I see your parents they are so supportive, your mom is the best third I was worried to see the termite damage and the other damage but your subcontractors worked that out lastly I have such admiration for you. On ward & upward!!!
You are a powerhouse!!! Your tireless energy while tearing down walls, cutting through outdoor wooden siding, drawing up precise house plans, shopping/thrifting for each household item, organizing each purchase, cataloging each piece of trim, each door, each window, and helping to move each piece to the storage shed in back. Picking out kitchen cabinet handles/pulls from flea markets, supervising contractors and making calls when they don’t finish their work. You’re incredible!As I said above, you are a POWERHOUSE!!! 👍🏻👏🏻
I never want this project to end! These videos keep me going and I love watching the process!
Like my aunt says you have the patience of Jobs determination! I’m sure all of these developments in the project are low key stressful but girl when you’re on camera I cannot tell, you look like you’re having so much fun! Love these videos and your energy very inspiring!
Wow! You are the best with it manager. Both you and your hubby are doing such an over the top job. I feel it's all coming together and with such a strong foundation, things are going to move forward with exciting excellence...Also, a big thanks to Mom and Dad!! Onward and upward...Oh, Ya!!!!!
Good for you letting them know they left something out. So excited for you.
You can build an outdoor garden gazebo with the columns and leftover wood! Could be so cute and cozy for summer 🤍☀️
You’re such an inspiration! Love the progress you’re making on the cottage and can’t wait to see the guest houses. Make sure to add more content of your dad demolishing portions of the house with his contractor toys! 🙂
Your dad is a wizard with that backhoe! Such delicate work with such a big machine!
Your excitement is infectious!! So happy for you!! :)
aww hahah this house makes me so happy!!
Thank you for using the word "varmints" today. Completely made my life. I need to incorporate that into my vocab on the regular.
Can we get this videos all week????? I just can't wait to see every little thing made, I've been way too invested 😂
So excited for you. You've come so far. It'll all start coming together more quickly now. That's not to say you won't have hiccups. But so far you're handling it all so well. You go girl.
I think it’s going to be fantastic! So happy to see the rebuilding begin. Yay!!!
Here are some ideas for re-use of cut down columns off porch...1) make a 4 poster bed using columns. 2) Use as dramatic victorian alcove with posts and gingerbread and center a clawfoot tub and overhead glass prisms chandelier with lacy curtains draped and tied back onto posts. 3) Cut porch posts in half lengthwise and use as interesting "trim" on otherwise plain fireplace mantels or as woodtrim on doors or walls. 4) Use for outdoor gas lamp posts along a path to other guest cottages. 5) Add birdhouses to top of posts and put in varied height groupings with wildflowers growing around them.
Best info I have ever seen for anyone who plans to do this in future!! You are very positive, matter of fact and confident!! You show us the importance of planning ahead, and doing all home work before moving forward. "1st things 1st" in action!! 👍👍👍💕
You Texans need to send us some of your rain. Drought has gotten so bad where I live that cities have had to truck water in and our rivers have dried up almost completely. We haven't been able to have fires for weeks either since it's so dry, which has caused a fire danger warning across the state. Coupled with the drought, we are dealing with severe haze from the boundary waters wildfires in Canada.
Yay! You're back working on the cottage! 🙂 I live in NW Oregon and we would like our rain back. 😝
You are a bad ass. This series gives me SO much inspiration for renovating my family farmhouse. It's also 100+ years old and just hasn't been taken care of since my great-grandparents passed in the 80s-90s. My grandma moved out last year and is living in a lower maintenance apartment, so my sister and I (and her husband, bless his heart) are taking over the farmhouse and starting the VERY early stages of updating what needs to be updated...... so basically everything! You give me so much inspiration that we CAN DO THIS!
Wow I admire your tenacity and how you stay positive with all the curve balls. We bought our cottage just outside of London last year and oh my any work is so costly. Wish we could do more on our own like you do but we just don't have the knowledge. Well done!! You are doing amazing! Love from the UK 😊
We went with Trexdecking and have been really happy with it, a broom or hose and you are good to go! It looks as nice now as when it was put in, plus its made of recycled materials... you can't go wrong.
no way! Things are in motion for you!!! I'm glad your support beam issue came through! It's so interesting to see what it's like to raise and level certain types of houses. Once again thanks for sharing your journey with us thus far!
Amazing MaCenna, those guys seemed to be so sweet, very hard working guys and they did an amazing job, I bet you are really feeling how much better the house feels, I would be so scared every time I walked on certain section of the house floor. I just get so excited with every video you post, and once you get your new porch you will be so amazed and happy. Thanks again, sending love and hugs, bye for now.
Because of your inspiration pic for your porch, I fell in love with the idea of a dark porch floor in the house we’re renovating. Coincidentally, our architect recommended doing a dark porch floor! We went the composite route also for the exact same reasons as you did. Can’t remember which one of the 2 you companies you mentioned, but it was one of them. And it looks fantastic! (And white dove is our kitchen wall color!). Your porch is going to be outstanding!
I TOTALLY get it about the rain!! When we were building our house we had 18 INCHES of rain, it crashed our foundation 3 TIMES!! Talk about FRUSTRATED THAT WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!! this is our 2nd custom home build, the advice I can offer stay on top of everything, be there as much as you can for any questions they may have, and make sure you make your door wide enough for appliances to get through, as well as tubs, etc...so excited and happy for you guys...can't wait fo see more progress! ☺️
I have always felt that old homes have a story and a life all their own. You brought happiness back to that little house's life!!! Can't wait to see how it progresses. Glad the rain stopped! I'm in San Antonio. I know EXACTLY what you mean!
I had an old house with transom windows that opened and they were heavenly! Glorious breezes! 💖
Did I miss an episode? I thought you were going to move the house back into the yard.
This is so inspiring and love your energy!
So excited for you! It’s great to see more progress happening. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next!
Your dad is insanely good with that crane! So fun to watch
I'm curious what kind of insulation are you going to install? I'm SO glad you all have this part behind you!❤️
Omg you are a superwoman, MaCenna. I am in the middle of a small reno with my family since we are moving from a top floor to ground level in a duplex-house (I don't know if that's what it's called) so we can rent the 2nd floor, and it's been so hard (I'm also very busy with my career so that's fun to try and do at the same time!). It is so difficult and time-consuming and it gets worse if you can't find the right workers, but you are such an inspiration!
I am sending my best wishes and good luck for all the rest of this journey :) that cottage is going to look amazing under your care! I'll be here to watch the rest of the videos for sure!
You’re a rock star. I can’t believe how much you’ guys have accomplished 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m obsessed with your videos. Now 😭 I wanna redo everything I own 🤦🏻♀️ do you have any videos showing how to refinish tables and bookshelves or countertops?! My house is so out dated and I don’t have a ton of money but I’m absolutely determined to get this place together ❤️
I am so happy for you that the construction has started who knew you could be a contractor as well. Job well done❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're amazing!!! Thorough in all your vids, include your style ideas, and you make sure you supervise reno and build on-site!! I love watching your new content and feel like I'm watching a mini HGTV show😍
You are going to love that composite flooring. When I added my composite deck a year after a major kitchen remodel there weren't many choices. I'm not wild about the mocha color, but the alternative was boring gray. It does show scuff marks from dragging heavy furniture across it and I have to clean the mildew every few years with bleach. Your darker color probably won't show any.
Now things will happen quickly. I can't wait. Will you add insulation? Your comment about the heat made me ask. My 70-year-old house doesn't have A/C yet. Next year. 🤞 I'm in Minnesota and even my house doesn't have insulation...in the original part.
I know this is all a lot of work, but you make it look so easy. So impressed with all of your work and love following along with this project!!
8:16 Dad's about to scoop up MaCenna!
Wow. What a job..so cool you are trying to salvage and repurchase all !! Much love and luck. Guys.
So excited for you….and for us cuz we get to come along….so exciting!
I can just imagine how proud your dad must be to see you with that sawzall.
Gotta watch MaCenna for motivation and inspo ✨
Absolutely love your house videos. Would it be possible gor you to lessen the volume when you switch to just music? That sudden blast and grab for the remote to turn down the volume is a but much. 🧡❤💛
Thats right you have so much to be on top of the workers to make your home sound.
Love how the home is coming along - great ceiling heights👍
Its so satisfying to see the house completely level !!!
I feel like you are growing so much through this process!
Hi, I just can’t stop watching and seeing the progress in this home. Way to go and call them out. Must have been nice to see other people working on your home. I just can’t wait till one day you give us a beautiful home tour with everything done. Stay safe. Have a good night. God Bless you guys!! Xo 😘 Are you planning on a deck? You planning on redoing the shed? It’s coming along great!! Xo 😘💗💕🦋🌸
13:51 I CAN SEE IT YESSSSS
OMG AND THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE
It’s pure love omg
I’m so excited for you 💕
I'm so glad you're back at the house. Love your work MaCenna.x
can't wait for you to hit 1 million subs!! You deserve it!! Love your spirit!
This was so exciting to watch!! Can't wait to see the next one.
You go girl!!!! Way to stay on top of things!!! Things are looking awesome ... hoping you read the comments about the material you have chosen for your porch floor.... take care!! Get some see you soon!! 😊
your excitement is contagious, watching you turn the cottage into a home is a joy to watch, it makes me want a cottage of my own, and a family who can help me.
I am so glad that everything worked out for you. Looking forward to the next step in this process. Loving to see the house finally start to come together. Yay!
Yay! I absolutely love seeing every step of this process!
I always love seeing how excited you are. You are a fantastic inspiration and hard worker.
I am very glad things are moving along in the right direction. I can not wait to see more, more, more xxoo
How exciting!!!!! I love seeing all your hard work and vision come to life!
It's a delight seeing how hard working and determined you are to accomplish your vision! Thanks for the insight on your projects coming along beautifully.
Happy for you Macenna that you are making so much progress in your house. And your parents, are the best!
It’s always a joy to watch you, and watching you make me wanna tackle the repairs I need to make to my home. See you next week!
Keep the porch wood and make raised flower beds out of them! or use them for siding on an island for the kitchen! cant wait to see it done keep up the great work!
I’m so excited for this next step! My heart was beating so fast….
Loved this entire process!
