This is just heart warming to see. Thanks to all who helped make this come true. Mike and his team are the best.
It's wonderful that the Castle has headroom for adults. They can comfortably take their children and explore the structure. Looks fantastic.
Yeah. That was a good design change.
This was built about 2012,thanks to all that helped make it right.
I loved the camaraderie with all the volunteers, the kids, Mike and his crew. What a fantastic job done because someone was so stupid. I sure hope that person was among the volunteers to help make it right.
Brought me to tears with pride for all of you who worked so hard. God bless you Mike and crew. Those kids are so lucky to have you!
My whole life has always been about taking care of the kids. Thank you Mike.
The taller the better when it comes to the slides.😃😃 All in 7 days great job!
Great Job! That should last for many years and give the kids many good memories. The park next to my house had an old fire truck in it for the kids to play on, I remember it 60 years later.
Darn you Mike Holmes, another tearjerker ending! 👌
Great Job to everyone. You all are the best.
I totally love this project!! Awesome job to everyone that helped out in any way! Super cool!!
This was by far the best Holmes episode I have ever seen...It brought a tear to my eye....Thank you!!!!!!!!
💕Fantabulous what an amazing thing to do I/we loved it💕MIKE YOU & YOUR TEAM NEED TO DO MORE COMMUNITY PROJECTS💕BUILDS that benefit many people of all ages💕
This is absolutely insane , the work yall did is incredible. God bless people like you guys
Thank You Mr.Mike and the others and Crew's for the children and Mom's and Dad's in for getting rid of the past and into the future, PS we kinda wonder if they made arrest on the person. CONGRATULATIONS Life goes on❤❤❤❤
How Wonderful!!! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
FYI to people looking at the comment section. don't respond to the troll delyn13 . he's like in every video comment section of this channel spewing nonsense and trying to put Mike Holmes down for fixing bad stuff of bad contractor. I mean the person literally commented "it shouldve only taken him a couple of hours NOT DAYS to build a friggin playground for children" is already enough to tell you he has no idea what he's talking about. I read one of his comments talking about how bad and cheap Mike holmes is on a prior video, but nothing about the work of the other contractor that came in did a shoddy job and left with all the money while putting a lien on the home. Also he already admitted that he's not a contractor, so he's just trolling at this point.
That's true. That troll account just posts nonsense to stir the pot. For all we know, it could be a bot or someone who likes being a contrarian.
Yeah building something like that would take days, if not weeks. My one highschool class helped out on the construction of one of our playgrounds in the park, it took a few weeks to build and that was with tons of people working on it. Concrete takes time to set so once poured you cant just jump right on it and start slinging lumber. Then you have to wait for deliveries, you usually want to stain/paint the wood, you cant miss any details as the structure has to be safe. Plus the more people you have working on things you more time you need to take to make sure things are safe for the workers so that people are not smashing into each other.
To make a playground in hours, im betting its one of those plastic ones that you just place down and bolt a few things together. and put on a bed of gravel or mulch. (Which sadly is how many of the recent playgrounds ive seen have become, which i sorta understand, safer for kids with less maintenance and costs less)
Go to Homeful TV's website and their contact us form and tell them what he's doing - they'll ban him permanently. I did the same thing to that other troll that used to be here all the time and they got rid of him.
@@mochs3869 was it the one that constantly called mike a scammer?
@@jjjacer yep. Jeff something. I got rid of him
That is so wonderful that y'all doing another castle for the kids and the community now y'all doing something different today I love looking at your shows do something different all the time it is so wonderful God bless❤❤❤😂😂😊😊😊
Amazing! I wish I was a kid again. When I was a kid, I helped shovel stone for our school’s wooden castle that was being built. It too was a community project.
It was so heartbreaking when I saw it engulfed in flames, I have so many memories of my two adult sons having the time of their lil lives playing there. Thank u so so so much Mike and team to bring this gem back. I know this was actually done a few years ago now but it still brings my heart joy to know that my future grandchildren will be able to play and run at the same park their parents did.
Absolutely beautiful. You better put up cameras on this one! And post that! ✝️✨️😇💖❤️🙏🏻👏💜✨️✝️✝️✝️💕💖❤️
Most cool project I’ve seen in a long time. Good job of work everybody❤
This is one of my favorite episodes.
In Texas that kid would of easily gotten 25 years in prison and a fine of $1 million
I will say a small crane would have freed up a lot of labor and made it safe to stand the main beams. It's awesome that Mike and his crew would do this for the community.
Mike you and your crew did great on the castle,GOD bless you and your crew 😊😊😊😊
"I think that the castle should be rebuilt how it was....I cannot articulate why I feel that way as an adult, but my irrational feelings are more important than the safety and enjoyment of the children who will be playing on this castle."
This was totally awesome I've been in a builder all my life I am a retired carpenter I own my own construction company I enjoy his channel so much cuz it brings back a lot of old memories things have changed today and that's for the good new products new ways to do things but I still enjoy watching and learning the new ways I always will be a carpenter and a builder everything in my house is handmade plus I am a hand carver by trade for Tennessee I am still carving at 60 years old I have been carving for 54 years like I said I build design everything I want and I build it out of my head I don't use modern computers hardly at all cuz I don't know what I'm doing on that I am just a builder Love this show
The rebuilt park has lived on. Years of enjoyment though it appears some of it is being refurbished now. But that's not surprising given the amount of time that has passed with so much use. Ironically the rebuilt park has survived longer than some of Holme's other projects. The modernistic house episode with the chain hanging down to drain water was gutted around 2023. Glad this park survived and continues to be maintained.
Mike you're awesome and like other adults you're still akid at heart ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤ 💙
So awesome!
ah this was back in 2012, 40 volunteer firefighters also helped in the rebuilding.
It was a work of art created by a great visionary.
Beautiful
Mike without a daught has got to be one of the best Holmes on Homes series ever the crew and all the volunteers did such a fantastic job and I don't think the kids after getting to play on the new castle minded the delay
Was the boy who caused the fire charged with arson?
As youth umpire we did college showcase years ago where there was warings to stay inside i was supposed to do 10 games did seven. we had plenty of umpires going down and some kids who needed to go get check.
It got me mad,that unselfish person trying to bring the community and sadden to the kids,I had to say in real life the World Wide World has a HERO and the special person is MR.MIKE know as CAPTAIN AMERICAN❤
Just did a quick google search and it looks like this playground is still going strong, so after being re built in 2012.
With all that heat, I’m surprised you didn’t put a water feature in
Did they ever catch the arsonist? And if so, were they punished? Regardless, fortunately they didn't do it again. The park still exists to this day.
Yes. From CBC news website, March 24, 2012:
"A 19-year-old man is facing charges of arson and obstruction of justice after the Jamie Bell Adventure Playground was destroyed in the early morning hours of March 17."
That job amazing for kids ❤❤❤❤
41 C is 105.8 F
That is WONDERFUL! But, it would be great to have a section for special needs kids.
I remember this episode
Can you imagine if this was done throughout the world. Communities are no longer communities in the literal sense.
Hey Mike what about those houses with your name on them that had to be demolished ?
That's one bossy guy, jeez chill out dude
water is not enough you need electrolytes to replenish what is sweat out
Organized Chaos
Why put such a short, tight deadline on such a big project??!! I understand you want to get it up quickly for the community, but only 7 days? Not realistic for the health of everyone. Should have made it 2 weeks, anyway; they've waited this long, surely one additional week wouldn't be that much of a hardship!
Little unsure about the call to make it more "adult friendly" frankly adults shouldn't be on it. Of course, there are times when mom or dad need to fetch a kid having a meltdown somewhere, but so long as it's do-able it doesn't need to be "comfortable" IMO
I did not see you out there helping....if you cant be constructive....shut up......
41 C is 90.2 F, hot enough to make people sick.
41C is 105.8F
C * 9/5 + 32 = F
Fantastic!!
