    I feel like I’ve been here since the beginning. I came over when you and Dani built the table. Two house renovations, two weddings, you both have had a busy year. Congratulations on everything. I love small houses. Can’t wait to get back in one.

    I learned about your channel when you collaborated with Dani on an upcycling challenge, I think? And it was just before you bought this house. It's amazing to see everything you've done pretty much all by yourself, or close to it! That, plus a wedding, plus changing your job, plus helping Chris with his injuries...just an amazing amount of things to be super proud of, and I can't wait to see the kitchen!!

    The house is so beautiful . And I love the backyard wedding . You looked so happy and beautiful. I used to do wedding photography, I’ve seen so many elaborate weddings , so much money spent and it doesn’t make the marriage last any longer . I my self did a small backyard wedding, it was so stress free and fun . It will be 36 yrs next month.
    Many blessing to you both for a long happy life together.

    This was one of the best compilation videos I've ever seen. It was good to get a recap of the entire home process.
    I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, subscribed and have been binge watching to catch up. I've seen the entire playlist for the house renovations, the kitchen, bath and deck. Whew, I'm almost current, of course there's other ones prior to house to view a few at a time.
    You're remarkable with your abilities to do all the reno and projects you do.
    I like your dad helping out and his personality.
    I've been subscribed to DIY Danie for a few years and saw you on her channel, she's pretty talented and has great content also.
    Glad I found you and look forward to what's to come.
    Thank you.

    There is nothing wrong with living in your home and then realise you don't like some things. Never feel like you have to justify your home or what you want to change. I'm blown away by how amazingly beautiful you and Chris looked on your wedding day. So glad you go to live your dream wedding in your beautiful house . Can't wait for the future videos from you when you have the time. As i am not from the US, can you please explain what a Cpe Cod home is . I think i have a rough idea but would love to know. Thanks Xx

    I wouldn't feel bad about not having things set after a year. I bought my house 18 months ago, we aren't doing renovations, and we still have multiple rooms that aren't set up the way we want them. You have accomplished so much in this house in such a short time. And I am so impressed that so much of it was done while working a full time job. I work remotely and even with no commute it is still such an ordeal to just walk out to my shop to do things after work. Listening to you talk about all this is so infectious and I just want to have you around all the time as a friend to tell me that I am capable of doing all the things I want to do.

    As a fellow LI cape owner that has dormered the home I would not suggest the vaulted cieling in the living room. Lots of expense for no additional living space. dormer the home and put 3 bedrooms upstairs with a large walkin closet and your additional bathroom. Great vids btw.

    Thank you for sharing your years progress of your home renovations. My husband & I bought a fixer upper too the same time you & your husband did. Our home was built in 1949 and needed updating (as still does). It's funny, because our lists are pretty much the same when it comes to what we want to do. I'm looking forward to more of your videos to come. once again, thank you for sharing! 🤗

      @@diyhuntress thanks for the encouragement!! It's been a rough road and definitely quite a few bumps in the road and hardship in life. I completely gutted the house, I ran all the electricity, plumbing and everything to refinish the hardwood floors with my own 2 hands all while working a full-time job and raising 5 kids by myself. This is the year I make some serious progress!!

    Sam our lives had parallel journeys as we got our first flip house at the same time so seeing you demo the bathroom - ya we're doing three but the worst was the first. Had TONS of electrical wiring to do as the previous owner did some unique fire-starting projects in wiring. My favorite was how he soldered (no tape) the romex behind the walls in the bathrooms (overloading the circuits as well) but he did separate the wires with his hands thinking that was safe. No junction box of course. No way to spot it unless you did demo work - oh that was terrifying. Or the heater where he used two 120v breakers instead of a 220 breaker and yes - one of the breakers ran another circuit. How did we not have a fire!
    Anyway, your house looks beautiful. Been following you all along your journey. You did awesome!

How exciting! I've watched you for a long time. I normally leave comments, but I love seeing what you can create and accomplish. You are ambitious and a hard working. It's really great to see. I pray for many more blessings to come for you. Oh, hey... if you ever need any projects for content, I live in an old house from the 50s. We've already started doing some renovations, but we have lots more projects to go. We're in Tennessee. Is that a thing you do? Do you travel to do projects? Idk if you do, but if so, I'd love for you to come. It would be wonderful to have you work on our home as I know you do an amazing job. Anyway, I'm looking forward to all you're new projects to come and watching you grow!💖🌺
