The house doesn’t look that big from the outside, but inside looks huge. So nice to see you make progress. Your energy is amazing! Always enjoy your vids!
That's exactly what I was thinking as well.
Literally!!
AHH THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! I am livingggggg for this :)
I watch yours, MaCenna's, The Sorry Girls, the chick that says Boop at start and the guys that just bought an abandoned house, oh and the Three Birds. Rest is watercolour, macrame and sewing related, oh and Tiny Houses. Your vids are great too. I look forward to when you have a house of your own :) I have no life... Melbourne Australia!
It’s DIY Danie that says boop! :) I like her, too!!
🥰🥰🥰
@@LisaAdams.75 Same! I’m guessing you’re talking about DIY Danie (*boop*) and Elysia English (and Philip English who bought the abandoned house) 😆
Would LOVE to see a collab between you guys on this project eventually! 🤞🤞
I love her spirit and how positive she is her smile and excitement makes my day . She is kind of person every one needs in their lives just right now . Wish you nothing but lots of happiness, success and lots of love . Just can't put my feelings into words but you make this world a better place for me love u
You are TOO KIND!!! Your comment just made my day 😘😘😘 thank you so much !!!
I can feel your excitement through the screen and it makes me soooo happy and excited too! Like I’m not even kidding, seeing the progress getting started got my heart rate goin up and a smile on my face!
Eeeeekkkk!!! It’s so exciting!!!
Happiness is contagious Emily!
MacKenna, I have to tell you how impressed I am of you. There’s nothing stopping you. You should be so proud of how much you’ve done. I know I am ❤️
Thank you so much!!! That means the world to me!! I’m pretty proud 🥰
I’ve never hit that play so quick!!! I’ve been waiting for this all day! I can picture it all now that walls etc are starting to go. I’m so excited for you it’s gonna be absolutely beautiful, I just know it! 😍
Eeeeekkkk!!!! Yay!!! 🥰
ME TOO ❤️😍
SAME
Same here!
Same waiting all day yayyyyy
I CLICKED SO FAST. I've never been so invested in a series like this.
Yayyyyyyy
I just keep shaking my head and saying, "She's amazing." You just tackle the projects whether you are really confident or not. I can't say I've never done that...but I don't think I've ever had such good results! lol
You are so “cute” even I feel elated to see them building FINALLY!! Thank you thank you McKenna for letting us share in the excitement and progress of this beautiful home!! 💞
Omg you’re so sweet! Thank you
19:20 nail gun to the beat in the song...man you're good! 😄 Looks amazing! I can almost feel the butterflies in your stomach with the excitement in your voice! So happy for you! 💗
Omg I’m so happy someone caught that little editing detail 🥰
I caught it too!
@@XOMaCenna it was very clever! 😜 By the way, I have been following you for about 9 months and I just found out that my niece and nephew are also subscribers to your channel! 😄🙌 💗
Came here especially to find this comment. By the way, love MaCenna's energy and positivity which shows through her videos.
How has it been 7 months already?!?! So excited you're finally building and I'm crossing my fingers you'll have some rain free weeks now and that you can continue the build without any major hiccups!
Omg... everything is coming together. It's so crazy how seven months just flew by.
It’s amazing to see how determined and hard working you are, you just don’t get burned out at all with all the building work and UA-cam work you are doing and you maintain the same energy and excitement every time. VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Am in awe of you actually.
Love how much care you put into your home and how productive you. Can't believe it's been seven months.
It's starting to take shape and get to the fun part. Question though, don't you need to insulate behind the wainscoting? Those were outside walls if I'm not mistaken?
I think they’re getting new siding so maybe they’ll do that before the new siding goes up?? Idk how construction works though 😂
And I am thinking the same, this is Texas not California , it get hot 🥵 here.
She said in her previous video that the house won't have insulation. She said the original house didn't have any insulation and it would be a ton of work and major changes to add insulation to the whole entire house. She in her Q&A video around 8:42. ua-cam.com/video/fch9fgyB-tQ/v-deo.html
I'm in Minneapolis and my house doesn't have insulation. But there is a thin layer behind the vinyl siding and wrap. Better than nothing, I guess.
@@Edu_Kate That is just crazy having no insulation ....but l guess they know more than us...hummmm...not good
one suggestion, insulate interior walls too because hollow walls make more sound and it’s not cool hearing someone in the bathroom 😬😁
oof yessss true I can't understand why people don't fully sound insulate the walls around bathrooms and bedrooms, like it's a bit more but worrtthhh ittt
The whole house didn't have insulation to start with, so she's just not doing insulation. She explains in her Q&A video around 8:42. ua-cam.com/video/fch9fgyB-tQ/v-deo.html
@@KelseyRodriguez i 100% agree. especially with old houses.
That would interfere with how HVAC systems operate
I’d insulate everything. Air gap insulation is not efficient enough. Since the attic already has insulation it would make sense to blow it in the walls as well since there is no air flow in the attic space… to your point I’d also use rock wool Underneath the floors to reduce foot sounds.
Macenna, I cant tell you how inspiring you are to me! Because of you, I want to be an interior designer, and I cant wait to renovate my own dream home!!
Your vibe, style and your dedication to everything you do is mind blowing.
Thank you for making our days much better ♥️
Omgggg thank you so much!!! 🥰
your house process really tells me how different our houses in Northern Italy are build and it's so interesting I love seeing all your work
What’s houses in italy like? Not wood?
@@kerriuttaro6153 they were people discussing this topic a few comments up, throughout the EU it’s more common to make brick houses with concrete foundations. Usually the shape of the attic differs depending on the climate. I remember my dad always joking when seeing me watch renovation shows in tv that omg these Americans make paper houses 😂 (of course the US is huge, many different climates, many different construction techniques, but you definitely see more of these wood frames there than in Europe).
Hahaha it does seem like a paper house that’s so funny. Concrete and brick seems much more sturdy
Crazy to see how far the house has come. Time flies. Enjoying this renovation.
Wow~ I am exhausted just watching you work! It's so impressive to see how much of yourself you are putting into it. Keep on!
"I love this for us" --is why you are my favorite!!!
I’m with you on the guest bath. Leave the beadboard finish up to the slopes ceiling. Own it girl! You thought of that. And it’s a great idea. And sustainable.
Oh and about the outlets. Don’t forget convenience outlets every 20 ft for vacuuming. Every 6 ft at the kitchen counter. Small appliances, toaster, coffee maker, mixer, blender. You know, no regrets. But also see your local codes.
That second door onto the porch is actually very common in some areas. The idea is you don't have to leave by the front door to sit on your porch. It seems redundant, but people seemed to like it. In some cases there was no access to the porch except through that "extra" door.
The lighting in your cottage is going to be AMAZING!!! ❤❤❤
Idk how in the world you don’t have millions of subscribers. At the same time, I love this lil (756k people) community and especially the vlog channel. Your videos are the only ones I have notifications on for. Thanks for being you. So excited to see this keep progressing.
So excited for you. Question, will you be insulating? It’s usually the first thing before walls go up here 😀👍
I love all her videos! She always makes my day better and I really needed that right now. I've been sick for a couple days and this really lifted my spirits. She is always so positive and I can just feel her happiness radiating through the screen. She is so amazing and so strong to be able to do all of this demo, planning, and decorating.
MaCenna you are a trojan worker. I love the way you figure it out as you go along. You obviously have a technical mind like I do and like problem solving. So satisfying to watch.
You are a breath of fresh air. Such a great optimistic attitude.
I am so excited to watch this journey with you!! I coincidentally purchased a 1910 farmhouse in Oregon by myself in February of this year and that’s how I found you!! I could Barely use a hammer before this house and now I’ve gutted and redone two bathrooms by myself!!
I quit my fast paced career and have poured so much love into this place! It’s scary, exciting and never ending!
Watching your passion just fires me up even more!!
Yaaaaaas ive had a fixer upper for like 5 years and we are really putting effort into it now it is such a rewarding process to get your hands on things. And i get so excited about even the littlest process.
GOOD! FREAKIN! JOB! MACENNA! 👏🏼
you’ve done amazing!
It is really coming together! I can definitely see the layout now! (It was just the kitchen and living room openings that were hard to see until now). And now I see how luxurious that pantry/coffee bar area is going to be and so so useful! I can’t remember what you said about a parking pad outside that side door a while back but after living in TX for 5 years, I recommend a covered spot to avoid falling branches from thunderstorms👌🏻
Oh, MaCenna... You are so brave and inspiring! Your enthusiasm is infectious and truly makes me happy! All of your videos are a joy to watch, and I can feel your excitement with every little step! You've come a long way, and your growth as a person, as well as, a builder (yes, you are a builder!) is a wonder to behold! Your happiness is our happiness and we are thrilled to be on this journey with you! Thanks for this awesome and marvelous ride! It's been a blast! I'm sure we're all gonna cry with you when we see the finished product! But they will obviously be tears of joy and triumph! Victory will be yours! Go get it!
this whole video is excited hyperactive DIY energy and i am living for it tbh
You are such a joy! You ALWAYS put a smile on my face, watching you is a breath of fresh air in light of all that is going on in this world. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰😘
You should totally do a time capsule! Inside a wall!! I am very happy for you, always enjoy the videos! I cannot wait to see the finished product.
I can tell you LOVE each and every little wainscotting board....
This is my favorite series right now!! I love your videos here and your vlogs!!
My husband and I just finalized the purchase of a new home. It is a fixer upper.
I'm so excited to begin this new adventure and let my creativity flow. Thank you sooo much for sharing your journey. You are such an inspiration. Norma in Mendocino, California.
My fav UA-cam series! So excited for you! Amazing progress!
Lol the staple gun on beat to the song around 19:19 was everything.
So exciting! McKenna you have so much energy!! Enjoying every update!! It will be bitter sweet once you complete this amazing project!!😔
Oh my gosh! Such a proud dad moment you guys shared.
My niece has been renovating her house for several years. One day, she pulled off the plaster and lath in a bedroom and her boyfriend, my brother and Molly hung insulation and dry wall. My brother said made his heart flutter that she retained so many skills from watching him renovate their house when the girls were quite young. (The other niece is a teaching neuroscientist and has zero interest in home renovations.)
Your Mom and Dad must be so PROUD!
Look at all you’ve done!
Nice seeing progress to the house.. I was also wondering about all the daylight still coming through from the wainscoting and floors meet though. You can't just cover it up with baseboards and expect not to get bugs and moisture in the house through the gaps?! How does that get covered properly and sealed or is that going to happen from the outside?
So glad it is coming along. My mom and dad had an Aframe house built in the 1980s, just the outside walls, my dad went to the house everyday after work for 2 years and worked on the house. He did everything the tong and groove ceilings. The walls, the electrical. Plumbing. Etc. My mom and sister helped on weekends. He got to live in the house 26 years before he died. I was always so proud of his work
❤️Love watching your videos! 👍 How awesome! It’s really exciting to do something like that! My husband and I
are almost done after 30yrs! 🤦🏻♀️ Yes 30yrs 😁 A wraparound porch will be the finishing touch of our renovation.
Which has been my long long time dream! 😀 🙏 Best of luck with your projects/renovations! 👍☺️ Can’t wait
to see your house done!
Love these videos and your style!! I have been watching for about 2 years now!!
Thank you so much!!!!!! 😘😘😘
Your patience with this situation is inspiring. I'm also renovating and I find it's easy to despair when things *almost always* take longer than expected or don't go as planned.
It’s coming along really nicely. We are in the middle of a full house renovation and totally agree with you. Although ideally my husband would like us to do one room at a time, like you we have items we’re waiting for and contractors we’re waiting on so….I’m like you; keep moving forward in anyway we can.
100% agree that you must go with the flow. We learnt that very early on too as it helps with the stress levels 😂. Can’t wait to see the next blog and the next update xx
Your excitement is contagious!! I’ll have my little cottage Reno some day
You are amazing! I would be so intimidated by all the projects, but you just get in there and do it. And you just seem giddy with happiness while you're doing it. Good luck with everything, and wishing you much happiness!
You must be sooooo anxious to have it all done! Looking amazing!
Love this video ! Things are moving ! Building a house is so exciting! And you're working like a professional! Congratulations ! Love that ! You're an inspiration for me. Thank you.
I seriously love your energy so much, you make me excited just watching you 🥰
You are such a badass!!! This has been SO fun to follow along. Love my morning coffee dates twice a week with MaCenna!
So much natural light! I'm excited FOR you!! Big changes!
Macenna it’s honestly so inspiring to see the amount of work you’ve done yourself throughout this renovation. I’m so excited for you that it’s all coming together. Much love from Ireland ❤️ xx
I have been waiting for this video for FOREVER!!!!! You are building!
Squealing from excitement here in Wisconsin! It’s coming together! ❤️👍🏻 I’ve had Credit Karma for a few years now and I like it too. Great content as always MaCenna! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Go MaCenna, go! So great to watch. Especially when you do such labor intensive stuff yourself. Super inspiring!
You should be soooo proud of yourself!!’ Do it yourself girl!!! You rock!!!
This is so fun to watch. I want to reno an old house too. I know you’ve addressed this but I worry that you’re going to regret not insulating. I would seriously recommend this while you have all the walls open to the studs. Just looking out for your best interest.
Super inspiring to see you learning new skills, taking chances, and building your house! I’m surprised that you’re not insulating - it would help keep your house cooler in the summer and help reduce your hydro bills.
WOW 7 months does not seem like it ! Got it looking good !!! Cant wait to the fun part of decorating !!!!
I know the workers and contractors must be so impressed with you 🥰
This home is going to be absolutely stunning! I see the vision and wow… it’s a dream come true. ❤️
I adore seeing you save all the charm! You're so resourceful and conscientious of using what you have💛
MaCenna, you are my kind of girl. I have all kind of tools ever since I was a teenager. I love figuring things out for myself. I almost lost a thumb sawing a piece of wood while helping my dad build our house. I love all your videos.
The "thank youuu" when you were talking about keeping the bathroom weird killed me 😂 I love how you just own every decision you make. The house is looking so good! The framing really puts into perspective just how tall those ceilings are.
MaCenna - you are so patient - after all the work you did making the measurements etc as clear as humanly possible to ensure they get it right - The fact that they didn't get the dimensions of that doorway where the french doors will be going correct with the information RIGHT NEXT TO THEM is just something I will NEVER understand about contractors and the crazy errors they tend to make!! Boy oh Boy! the incompetence continues to astound me! But your positive spirit is why you will prevail. I suppose it's a lesson in patience and there are certainly worse things. It's nice to see you so excited. The thoroughness with which you have shared your vision really makes it so exciting to watch your dream come to life!!
Truly admire your tenacity
Love watching you, you are full of energy and very hard working. Good luck with the house. Look forward to watching the process.
Macenna You almost make me cry. Iam so exited to watch each vídeo and see the advances. You are a inspiración for me.
and Mrs T wow maCena you never cease to amaze me with your energy and deternation so well done and girl power to you loving the progress on your house
Put pieces of cut 2x4 like that in bathrooms where you might want to hang towel bars saves drywall drilling!
I love your energy and excitement as you go thru the remodel and building of your cottage. You are such a positive person even when the framers don’t show...you just go with the flow and hope for a better tomorrow! I am giddy with excitement and can’t wait for the day when you do the final reveal...but for now, I am enjoying the journey!
So happy for you, you bring so much excitement & joy to all of us who follow you. ( but missing Romeo- when’s he coming back up tx) ❤️❤️❤️
I miss him tooooo he will be here next week!!! I can’t wait!!
the nail gun lining up with audio @ 19:19 is awesomeeee
I have never been in such a hurry to see a UA-cam clip. I have longed so long for this day and see your amazing work and joy. Makes it more exciting to see your vision of the house.
Obsessed!!! Love that you’re taking us along the journey. So happy to see this progress for you on the cottage!!!!
Macenna you are doing the thing! I can imagine how frustrating it can be to hurry up and wait throughout this process, but you’re getting so much accomplished in this. I love watching you salvage and piece together the house like a puzzle!
I love that you reuse so much wood and furniture in your design 👌
Really liked this video and so enjoy you showing how things are put together and your process for each part. It’s so interesting and you make it look so doable!!
I love watching your videos. I love following along with your progress. Can't wait to see more.
I am from Sydney, Australia & don't do social media, so that goodness for UA-cam.
You are amazing & yep this is exciting, I love watching your journey.
Macenna you are a whole mood. I love it!
You nailing the boards with the nail gun made me so happy! My favorite tool is a nail gun!❤️ You go girl!
Please use safety equipment, though.
Eyes are important.
Wow 7 months already, it has just flown by. I am soooooo excited to see it all come together. You have made me smile in every episode, and also made me feel so tired, like have done all the work myself lol. Exciting times right now xx
I love that you don’t let the big projects intimidate you. I get ikea instructions that are hard to understand and I lose it! 😅
You’re unstoppable, girl! 💪🏼
Wow! You’re so handy!
Just wondering about the insulation inside the exterior walls…(?)
I’m so impressed with your ability to go with the flows of construction! We’ve been doing our house and it has been… challenging. 😂
From day one I’ve had Sooooo much fun watching you work on this project… and your mama too!
"It's not one piece! IT'S NOT ONE PIECE!" The joy and pride that was just oozing out your pores...Priceless.
You are seriously inspiring to me! Your fearlessness in learning and getting things done, your infectious energy and enthusiasm and your hard work have really had an impact on me to continue learning and pushing myself as well. Thank you for taking us along on this journey!
You do so well with showing the place in a way that the viewers can understand the layout 🙌 so exciting seeing it all come together 🥰
your excitement is catchy, the house is beginning to look more like your plans, even I want to live there, awesome job MaCenna!!!!!
I absolutely looove all your thought process your energy, charisma, and of course, your lovely designs ❤️ I follow you since a while now, and always your videos bring me joy. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱☺️
