    Love watching your renovations Tom! Here is a landlord tip, place inexpensive vinyl sheet flooring ( I buy mine from Menards) cut to size for under all the cabinets, as drawer liners and closet shelf liners. Saves the cabinets from stains, sticky or soapy bottles. So much easier to clean up when a tenant departs. Pull them out, clean and sanitize, put them back. It’s less expensive than shelf paper as well.

    Hi Tom. In your last video you were concerned that it was boring for us to watch but NOT ALL !!! If your videos were boring - you wouldn't have followers. For me I enjoy watching your videos no matter what you're doing because my dad was a "jack of all trades" so I grew up with all sorts of things going on around me - it's kinda comforting for me to watch you. Also I've learned how things are done. I was watching your plumbing job particularly since I have plumbing problems in my home. So in my opinion, you're videos are interesting and I watch you every week. Just wanted you to know and may you and Dawn and family have a great weekend.

    I've been meaning to send you a huge "thank you" Tom! In one of your (Dawns?) videos you were using a shop vac on a clog in the kitchen sink. After trying everything else, and getting ready to call a plumber, I remembered seeing you do that. It worked!! It was amazing how easy and fast it was. I never would have thought of that in million years - thank you so much!!!!!

    We are installing a toilet in our quasi=finished basement and as the cast iron main lines are overhead, we are putting in a Saniflow toilet. Tom, we are accustomed to doing many things ourselves, but this was a totally new adventure. My husband decided to call a plumber, but I snuck away and looked up the process on u-tube! Well, other than tapping into the main drainage line, this isn't a big deal at all! By the time hubby was back on the scene, I showed him the best video and told him that even I could do this! I am thrilled to say that you have inspired ME to give it a shot (even though I am 71)! We may still call our plumber to actually tie into the cast iron, but the rest we will do ourselves! Thank you so much for inspiring so many to have confidence in themselves when it comes to projects such as these! Well, time to end this as I am signed in to take part in Dawn's 'All Day Clutter' process today (5/6/23)! You two have both become a big part of my life and I can't thank you enough!!!

    I know nothing about what you show…I enjoy how you are explaining the process, state that you are not a professional, giving us your thought process is huge to me because you are weighing pros and cons that I would never have considered. Great job on the water! Omg. The work you are doing outside in consideration of horse tenants is amazing. I don’t believe too many owners would take the ground conditions in consideration for them. Again, hearing your thoughts on why you grade this way vs that way is good to hear! If I ever had to have work done, and it was a possibility to hire you, I would in a heart beat! Ok, gushing over, great job and so enjoy watching and learning from both of you!

    Smart to check your floor tile for asbestos.
    My insurance agent told me they put your home address (and name?) on the bagged debris before abatement so they can come back to you for some reason. That made me nervous so if I do any renovations, I think I'll just cover up my tile and/or popcorn ceilings. My house was built in 1950 so I just assume....

My brain gets high jacked by distractions every couple of minutes. Then to watch that driveway take shape, when speeded up.... let's just say, I have equipment envy! So much easier when you have all the right equipment & tools. It must be so "fun" to operate that stuff as well.
    This is the first real glimpse we've had of your in law's place. Its GI-normous. 😲 It sure gives a better idea of the equipment & big projects that can happen, as a side job of running a "farm!" No wonder there are no limits with Dawn's creative ideas, having grown up around all that.

    Tom you're amazing! Thank you For showing about the pex tube. My step dad who raised me was someone who could do so many different things, So when I watch you you remind me of the projects he did When I lived at home. I'm curious to find out what that test shows, When we had flooring redthey were telling me anything before nineteen eighty four could have had Asbestos in it. So when they did my four they had to put wood over it the old stuff. Question I have family that lives right around rochester area, Some of the homes in that area have had to have raydon Filtration in their basement. My family member did not have any in their home but had heard of people in their area and as a precaution they put in the system that protects their home. I have never heard about that up here North of the cities. But maybe it's just certain areas was just asking you probably know all about that issue If there was one. I'm so excited about that metal roof that you're able to repropose that's awesome. That's a huge score of a deal. We love menards and sure frustrating when in order gets mixed up sorry about that happening to you. I guess it's a good thing you have other projects to work on and you're not put totally on hold. I know over the years we've had different projects done and when there's a mess up it puts everything on hold. When I built my house we sat here at one time for almost two weeks waiting because of a mess up. Please don't ever think your videos are boring or what you share is boring. It's very informational. It's very fun to watch and you're just really good at relaying what you're doing but also doing it with fun and laughter and wisdom. I hope you all I have an amazing day and I hope your snow is gone. You're fixing in your pipes turned out better than mine. I had a plumber here the other day paid a ton of money and it's leaking. 919.00 Just to fix a laundry tub faucet and the turn Off valves but they did it in copper, But it's leaking. They need to learn some wisdom from you some plumbers oh my.

As a horse owner myself I’m concerned about the rental part of this. I’ve boarded and given horse riding lessons for years. I recently quit both because of the outrageous expense for insurance ect. We are in Illinois so Minnesota may be different. There is a difference between horse people and people who own horses. It may be less of a headache to just Flip this property. Just concerned for your sanity.

    I know it is not my life, not my money and not my house.... but I just want you to lift it already. I do NOT have the mechanical or engineering qualifications for my opinion to be relevant! I am not a realtor or a house value expert. You guys are massively successful, and have more rental property than me, and know know something about Minnesota winters which I don't - keep doing what you're doing!
    (but omg lift that house already.....)
