  • What happens when you buy an old house from 1958 that you want to turn into an Airbnb? We ended up in over our heads with renovations! Everything needs to be replaced, and we've gone waaaaaay over budget. Oh, and today was demo day.

    A little history on the creepy Gnome: it was part of a Christmas display at a national children's store chain where my wife works. I know because we have the exact one in our house. She brought it home because she thought it was a cute Xmas adornment, and she proudly displays it every year. The kids and I are just as creeped out about it as you and Abby, but she won't let us get rid of it. Please help me.

    See if there’s another place in the house that you can take a piece of flooring, but take it from a place that’s not so obvious like from a closet or a dark hallway where you could replace it with something similar and just match it with some magic markers 😅. I owned a furniture store for a while and the magic that we could do with some furniture marking pens and magic markers to make it blend in is amazing😊

      No because apparently if that happens too often, CZcams warns or penalizes the poster somehow. I'm sorry I don't recall exactly. One of my other favorites mentioned it one time on their video.

    I thought Abby must have healed from her surgery miraculously fast to do that, but then I saw this was filmed a month ago. I hope she recovers quickly. It's always good to see Grandma. She and Griffin meeting was so sweet! Thank y'all for sharing!

    I loved this video soo much, idk why but I just love such videos where people just sit down, relax, talk about their day, show their normal regular routine. Life doesn't have to be crazy all the time and time, family, relationships are just soo precious. Abby's grandma meeting Griffin just melted my heart, I wish I could see my grandma 1 last time.

    Paint the walls, ceiling and trim one color to hide imperfections. ...
    If your trimwork is in good shape, paint it a neutral contrasting shade. ...
    Celebrate stained glass. ...
    Use in-window shades to keep vintage trim exposed. ...
    Use drapery to conceal awkward windows. ...
    Use airy shelving units.

    They grow so fast. I have 5 kids. 4 boys and the last one was a girl. And believe me she's a tuff cookie. But my oldest son is 23 now and has his own place. The biggest house I've seen in a long time. And hes redone most of it himself. And is still working on it as much as he can. He works full time and does it on days off. But I still find it hard to believe that hes 23. And the youngest is 5. They all love each other so much. But time flies so never give up a chance to have some good family time. I think y'all taking Sunday's to yourself to just chill together is awesome. Its something every family should be doing. I loved watching your family grow. It's so beautiful.

He went from being this new born baby so small he could fit in ONE hand and now he's a grown man. Divorced, recently engaged, with a successful career living in his own home in another state. 😭😭 I'm so proud of him but I still miss my little baby. Guys be careful, blink and you LITERALLY miss it
