    I can't explain in words Barry, your explanation in the "feelings" of the house, birthdays/Christmas's, tells us what kind of person you are and also your sweet interactions/words with Molly. You took a tired home and made her into a beauty. Praying the best for your family and on to more adventures 🙏

      Yes Barb! Who knew that Barry has a hidden soft spot for all the things he spoke of....I actually got tears as he was describing the lifetime events of the original owners...and knowing it ended in hospice just grabbed my heart. Barry (and obviously Molly too) comes from two wonderfully kind parents-and it shows.

    I already have a carport, so the lack of doors on the area under the house doesn't bother me...but I do love the idea of having a root cellar there! You guys did such a good job with everything. Thanks for sharing this renovation. Blessings to all of you.

    The design choices are pleasing. The new family can live comfortably and slowly transform to their own tastes. If I had a formal living room, it would remain empty or turn into a playroom. I’m still having trouble trying to outfit my great room. Putting stairs and making the fourth garage a root cellar is a great idea.

    @prudencepark3731 Рік тому +4

    You made some good neutral choices for the new owners. I agree the mantle really needs a larger piece of wood and I'd had a gas range. I would have loved a drop in or wall oven though. I still think that a concrete stain on the exterior stone would have been a good decision, because that's not like paint, but you guys did a GREAT job! Hope you made what you need. A renovation is hard work.

    The underneath root cellar idea would delight me. Your solar, garden, water tank, etc. are dreamy. 1000% better for me. That house has a different market than weirdo me ;) I would never paint that exterior stone. Match the paint to work.

      @EmptyHammock  Рік тому

      @@paulh1745 Apparently you didn't read the second half of my comment where I said "We're just happy it's under contract". I count my blessings every day...
      5 months ago, when we bought the house, housing prices were much higher than they are now. If we had bought the house now we would have paid MUCH less. Our realtor said that had we sold it, all fixed up, the day after we bought it, the price would have been much higher. So, yes, I did think about it.
      Also "Maybe you naysayers ought to try that for a change"? Really? Thank you for lumping me in with people who don't care. You have no idea who I am, you just come across angry. :)

Making a cold storage out of the underground bay would be a great thing to have for all my canning and food preservation for sure. So many wonderful opportunities with the property.

  • @nel895
    @nel895 Рік тому +2

    Love the root cellar idea. Maybe the new owners will do that. Like the idea of a wall dividing the main garage. We would do that so my husband could have separated mechanic and woodworking shops, but so many people want to park 2 cars inside. Best let the new owner decide. Like using the cistern. I hope the new owner does. Seems like a very attractive property for someone who wants to be as self sustaining as possible, so maybe so.
    Found the music room idea interesting. Formal living rooms are so seldom used and that would be a very good use of the space.
    Found it humorous that the men like carpet and the woman don't. As a woman who has struggled and failed to keep carpet clean, I love the hard floors in my current home, but my husband still longs for carpet. He likes the cushy surface underfoot. I have always preferred clean smooth floors.

    It has been great to see you start and finish this project, and it is so beautiful! It is meaningful that this was a house/home rescue as well as a financial endeavor. I'm glad you shared how you personally felt about taking on this project. All of you put a lot of good vibes into this beautiful place! I'm glad it is selling so fast which I was sure it would! I would love to meet the new homeowners and hear them talk about how much they love it and anticipate living there and what they might have in mind for the carport and adding a few things to what you have so expertly done to this really great property! That would be a really nice final video! You might be able to convince them to do that! They would get a lot of love from a lot of people out here - kind of a digital house warming! I think we have a personal feeling about the home and want to know what happens next, who is going to live there? Not that it's any of our business of course! It's great that now you can start on your own project, which sounds awesome!!

    Barry, you did a wonderful job. In one of my comments I said you learned from your dad. I didn't mean to say that you don't have your own skills, as we can see you do. Just meant it as a compliment that you and your dad worked well together. I've heard Bill say that he marvels at your skills. It shows how well you know your business. So take the compliment that I think you are a great builder and the work you do is excellent. Congrats on all your hard work !!!

    Blessings on y’all too. Thanks for the reminder that we each have a purpose to fulfill on this earth and that it sometimes requires a little hustle to get there.
