Ashley is HILARIOUS, Doug hits his head on the light she laughs and goes to check on the light and not Doug's head😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I had to respond I cried out loud Doug’s ( Crack ) & Ash. Was riding that 😂 hard. Who put that light there 😂

Sometimes you just have to work with what you have and you accomplished what you wanted. Seems all good to me. Let me add on with this handy edit feature. You all are teaching your kids such a valuable lesson of not just giving up when things get hard, and to keep problem solving to accomplish tasks.
If that were any other husband and wife there would be a lot of yelling at each other and swearing. You two make an awesome team!
Not true, maybe personal experience forming your opinion that yelling at each other is normal.
@@c50ge no, I've no personal experience and I never said it was normal either.
All that was of course edited out.🙄 Family friendly channel. ❤
@vademecum8173 We don't swear so there was none of that to edit out.
@@51Lorie I’m confused I thought you said any other couple in your statement. Just wondering what you were basing your comment on? No big deal. That’s why I enjoy watching them work together, very little drama, very little friction.
Don’t beat yourself up Doug , truck drivers do that reversing thing day in and day out 👌🏻 you got there eventually in one piece and no one hurt 😂.
That little bus is a beast 🤣🤣
I’m yelling at the screen. “Go faster - no stop - turn” the husband says. You know that’s not ‘real time’ 😂😂😂😂😂😏
Me too and that was after reading your comment first. 🤣
😂😂😂😂
On the edge of my seat! 😅
😂😂😂
Lol I can so relate.
I guess the most important part of your videos for me is seeing both of you working so well together. Working as a family to accomplish a goal is just as important as the project.
Great job with moving the trailers. When we are organized, it does save us time and frustration in the end.
Hi Maverick ❤
As always be well, be blessed ❤
Thank you :)
You had us busting up. My husband was a trucker and had a hard time watching and at one point wanted to leave the room. We busted up laughing when you mentioned that truckers would probably have a hard time watching it. You were so right.
lol...yep. 😂 Sorry for the stress!
My old man had to leave...he came back! We both truly enjoy this channel.
Hi Ashley and Doug, that was hard work. Glad you moved the workshop to where it needed to be. Having your workshop organised will help with all your projects. And make your life easier. Great job both. I hope you had a well deserved rest afterwards
Yikes! That was painful to watch!! Patience is a virtue, and both Doug and Ashley have more patience than anyone I know!! I hope you both had a relaxing night after the hard day you had!! Thumbs up to you Ashley for being so supportive to Doug!! Thumbs up to Doug for being such a good family man!! Doug, I know you want to get your workshop done, but your body probably needs a good day of rest!! Spend some good quality family time at the beach, or riding bikes, or just sitting in the shade watching the kids play!!
❤❤❤ blessings to your family!!
You two are the most self-reliant, calm, and resourceful couple ever! Nothing is undoable or too daunting for you. Great job! 👍
I had a beautiful hutch like that. Pain to move. Left it when i moved. Don't regret it. Now that i am 80, minimal is the key. Their hutch, their choice to use it as they see fit. They are giving it a second life. We all would like a second chance. Be kind.
Real life, real issues, real interesting to watch. I was biting my lip with the well, the cabinet and glass shelves! We moved a huge cabinet that was oak and glass. Only 1 piece but all glass front, sides and shelves. Even tho the shelves were out, it was heavy. BF slipped and went to his knee and cabinet went down. No breakage thank God. It popped just a smidge and I used a block of wood to tap it back square.. It holds my Christmas village. Love the longer video and I'm all on board for tedious everyday stuff. Lol
What a great video. I never learned the trick of backing a trailer. Hubby did our horse trailer a gazillion miles back in the day. I was holding my breath during that part. Great work, now time to chill. 😳😳
While it was a long hard day for you it must be satisfying to see things come together for the sake of being better organised. That cabinet should hold a lot of tools for you and make life easier in the long run. 😊😊😊 bye Maverick 😊
Doug bumps his head on the light and Ashley goes over to check on Doug. So sweet, nope!, she checks the light! That tickled me so much! Did you edit out Doug saying, hey, what about my head!?!? Y’all are so good with each other. Bye Maverick always good to hear you say bye to us!
LOL 😂
You have earned a well deserved rest after all the heavy work. With your strength Doug, I know it's super hard when you are pushing your limit and letting out held breaths of air. Other times you are humming as you work. It always amazes me how you manage to get such impossible jobs done by thinking outside the box and problem solving a solution so the two of you can accomplish it. Well done!! Don't know who enjoys it more, Maverick or me, when he pops in to say bye!
Boy was THAT an exercise in perseverance, patience and grit! Good job y'all!
It is profitable to get the tool trailer outfitted and organized because it will save time in the long run and you still have a lot of work ahead between both places. It wastes so much time when you’re wandering around looking for stuff! Love the use of the blocks & dolly 👏👍
13:02 My dad would always joke, "Keep going until you hear glass (break)." I heard it, so that means stop. 🤪
In the future remember this when towing:
TURN TOWARDS YOUR TROUBLE.
I know you said you wanted to build a new workshop, but you might want to consider looking into a repossessed shed. They are less expensive than new and it can be dropped where you want it.
Now for our feature movie , Doug and Ashley starring in "the long long trailer".. (movie with Lucy and Ricky made in 1954)
I remember that movie.....one of their funniest ones.
@@margaretbedwell3211 yes, definitely a classic and unique movie
haha, we've seen that movie. 😂
Using the blocks was brilliant. You two can do anything. You got it done. Congrats!!!
I'm not here to critique your trailer maneuvering skills, even though I use to be a long haul trucker years ago. I'm here to support, respect and encourage you, to continue doing things that works best for you and your family. Besides, when it comes down to being good at maneuvering a long trailer, it's one of those things in life that takes time and a lot of practice. But it's not something you're having to do every day, like a trucker does, so I wouldn't listen to the haters, because they're not you and they're not living your life. BTW, thanks for sharing another great video!! Much Love and Hugs to you and to your wonderful family!! ❤❤❤❤
Just for some clarification, a weight distribution hitch would help you a great deal, "IF" you needed to take it back and forth to your other property. But since you're "NOT" going to be doing that, there's no shame in using what you have to get things done, we've been there ourselves. 😊😊
Considering all things, I'm pretty proud of what we did though. It was hard to show on video but our cooking gazebo was behind the trailer, the water well right next to it, and the power poles and junk pile in front of it, so it was a tight squeeze with hardly any room to turn or reposition.
In the end, it was the soft ground that got us! If we didn't have the excavator though, we'd probably still be stuck. At least it turn into a memorable experience.
@@diyfferent I personally think you did a great job and I could tell it was a squeeze to move it. I added the last part for the haters, that's why I emphasized the "if" and "not", to make it clear to them. LOL!! Because you clearly said it in the video, you weren't going to be taking it back and forth to your other property. LOL!! Ya'll are great!! LOL!!
W😮W!!! That was a nail biter!!!!.. OmGee.... That little excavator is FABULOUS....What a life saver. Great video.❤
stacking the blocks was very smart
I must admit that was making me nervous ... good job!
Having a functional workshop with a place to store your tools so you can easily get to them is important. It saves time not having to look for things or having to move things to work. Moving a trailer with a bus in a tight area is not as easy as people think. My husband hauls his cargo trailer behind our 30 foot motorhome and it's harder to get it backed into tight spots than with a truck. Many times people have come over trying to tell us how to do it. We know how it is just not that easy. So don't beat yourself up over it. You did a good job.
YES, I agree!! Great job!
Hi Doug and Ashley. You guys are amazing , phenomenal, ingenious, and simply the 👌 👏. Thank you for sharing another wonderful video. Maverick , my day with his cuteness 😊. As always keep safe and God bless your beautiful family always ❤️ 😊 🤲💐🌷
Best moment at the end Maverick saying bye an Doug smiling after all the hard work
WOW ! 🏋️ That’s a lot of lifting and moving. Thank the Lord you didn’t hurt yourselves. 💪👏🏼👍
I enjoyed this video. Reducing clutter and getting your tools safely organized is important.
A definite nail-biter, but so satisfying that you guys got it done! Y'all work so well together. We sure enjoy your videos.
Hi Doug and Ashley, watching you move the shop was painful to watch. I was in pins and needles. Thank God you and Ashley were able to do it with no major issues. It was so cute when Maverick popped up out of nowhere to say bye. So cute. Hi Maverick, good to see you.
All the years I have been following and this was the first time I had raised eyebrows. Goodness. Job well done!
Outstanding progress on your workshop!!! Take a minute to relax and breathe!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🏡🚜🎶❤🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Lol " I'm just going to pretend I don't care about that."----" Okay."
Unless you've already done it before I started watching this channel -- it would be interesting to hear how the two of you met because you are both perfect for each other.❤
Tell your little helpers hi and that they were missed!❤
Doug you are the most even tempered man, would be great if we could all have such tolerance. 😅
Good Heavens, Doug & Ashley! What a rough day. And yet, you both remained unruffled, and solved the problems. Love your teamwork! ❤
Good Move Mr Doug but definitely a tough move.
"I'm going to pretend I don't care" is so relatable.
That was stressful! If I am exhausted just watching you, I can't imagine how tired you must have been, and probably very sore the next day. But I am glad you got it done without either one of you really getting injured. That was indeed quite a major accomplishment. Great teamwork!
Hey Doug and Ashley! This one was a real nail-biter! 😅 The excavator really does come in handy so glad you were able to position the workshop where you wanted it in the end. 👍🏻👍🏻
Always a new and DIYFERENT Adventure with Doug & Ashley 😂
You can fix the temporary shop door in your "spare" time. LOL!!!😉 Great content; thank you.
I was watching through my fingers while you kept going back and forth back and forth and I'm saying stop stop stop! You guys are no quitters thats for sure! And you got my blood pumping for sure!
Ok you guys deserve a break after all that! Keep. Doing.You. 🌻🌵🎶❤️
I love it! An organized workshop is such a good feeling.
If it makes your life easier and it's what YOU want, don't worry about what other people think...😉
Oh you guys, that was too stressful for this old heart.
Some people gave you grief about the used furniture. I feel that if you use the piece then it is golden. Furniture has always been used in different ways. I say use it to your best advantage. Getting that piece in place was very clever!
Wow. I am amazed at what the two of you can accomplish.
Doug, you still amaze me with all your ideas! You’re so smart! You and Ashley are by far my favorite “family”! I’m loving EVERYTHING you do and always will! Can’t wait to see what you do next! Take care til next time.💕
Well, that was a knuckle biter. You reminded me of my husband, you never give up and you’re a risk taker. God bless you and keep you safe. PS, Doug hits his head and Ashley laughs, omg. 😅
Always a joy to see Little Man say bye at the end, it's like he's thinking that he is sliding one by you. So cute.
Doug my husband has been a semi driver for 37 years. He will tell you even backing with a 53ft trailer it's a day by day struggle. 1 day easy with a couple of turns. Then depending on your abilities it's throw up your hands and I'm quitting. Your mirrors have to be perfect and he said drive your trailer not your vehicle. Your not backing the truck into the spot. Great idea lifting the hutch cabinet. Blessing
Maverick made it all better! 🥰👍💕💕💕
Reminds me of the movie, The Long Long Trailer with Lucy and Desi.
😂Such an awesome movie!!!
haha yep. I remember one clip where she was making a salad and used a raw egg in it, and I thought how weird is that! A raw egg in a salad? lol
Doug, I know it is a bit late to say this, but as the owner of a similar size hutch, when we have to move it we take out all the shelves from the top. It is amazing how heavy they are and it makes it much lighter to lift. Also in your case I would have taken the doors off.
I needed a nap after watching that struggle. Good job!
That cabinet would never have gone in a shed!!!! That thing is amazing it would have went front and center in my house somewhere💕
@@willydavid well I bet they won't deliver to Wisconsin although I sure could use their help to fix up my trailer 😁
@@willydavid I was mostly just being silly 😜 it's theirs they can do anything they want with it lol
Sometimes you have to take a step backwards to create a better future. Well done for taking that step. I’m sure you will reap the rewards that it will bring. 😊
I give you 5 stars for ingenuity. Well done.
Just like in theater, the stage comes first. Staging your workspace first is traditional because it's smart. I hope you video yourself thinking out loud and redesigning your workshop and, finally, putting the pieces in place.
I would have that piece of furniture in my home, its lovely. Another wonderful video x
I would be so happy if my sons were as responsible and achieved as much as y'all do.
I've been impressed with that little excavator so many times. This time is no different. Great job!
The workshop is an importantt job as withoutbit you wouldn't get as much done wish i had a craftroom that big
I've watched you for 10,000 years. And I never knew you can't back a trailer. Amazing!
And Very Entertaining!
This video will live in Infamy. And should go viral. Love you guys. And yeah, the soft ground doesn't help, and I'm just kidding 😜 You did great!
It’s very important!! It will be much easier to find stuff plus you will have a nice work area
Love to watch your progress. Love a 30 minute show.
As a fellow "make-it-work" er, I can appreciate this video in its entirety 😊 As always, thank you for sharing the reality that lives behind CZcams.
AND, thank you for continuing to include Mavericks little "bye" in your closings! It truly makes my day, as I'm sure it does others as well! 😃🤗
P.S. I also chuckled when Doug hit his head... because it's Doug, and he always hits his head (
"..because it's Doug, and he always hits his head" Exactly!!! haha 🤣
Maverick is so adorable. Love his byes. And Belle is a beautiful young lady, even tho she hides most videos. Love all your videos.
@@diyfferent I am thinking you need him to wear a helmet ;-O
The way y’all got the hutch on top of the dresser was pure genius.
What a job! I'm exhausted and I was o lying watching! It'll be awesome when it's done. Bye, wonderful Maverick 😂😅
Geee I got wore out just watching.. once you get organized it will be so nice. The window hutch will be nice , being glass. You can see where it’s at.!!! Will be so nice. Glad it’s working out for you all. I enjoy you kids!!!
😰 Whew, so much work, but you did it! I remember you used to follow, Sam & Angela (Green Acres Homestead), have you seen Sam’s beautiful new workshop? Someday, I know you are capable of building your own, too.
I have enjoyed your channel, for a long time. 😊
Sam and Angela and their channel have changed a lot so we don't keep up with them as much as we used too. I saw him building it, but then he stopped posting as much. He was doing a great job though.
@@diyfferentSame
I can picture Doug as a little boy playing with his Tonka Toys, Legos, erector set and Lincoln logs and doing everything he does on this channel.
Lol, he almost looked pleased when the trailer got stuck because he could now test his skills even further to find yet another appropriate solution to another problem.
Great job!
You do what it takes to complete the job, you need to do. If people could see, how I do some of the things I have to do, to complete my home life jobs. It would make yours look totally professional 😊 your doing great. ❤
My dear dad told me sage thoughts while growing up, ‘before you drive in somewhere know that you can back/drive out’ and ‘ take care of your tools and equipment as they will serve you well for life!’
I’ve used this advise my whole life.
Good job Doug and Ashley! I love how you think and problem solve and I’m so happy to be along for the ride. Bye Maverick!
Take care dear family!
Lol…..I was pushing my legs hard! To help you move that pile😄 Definitely the funniest, scariest, most entertaining video you have ever done! Loved it!❤️
👏👏👏👏 Wooo! I was holding my breath the whole time! You came so close to the well. 😵💫Great job guys!🥰🥰
Clapping!!!!! So painful for me to watch. I used to hate watching that kind of stuff when my spouse and his buddies did it. I'd get nervous. But you persevered and got her done. Congrats! I can tell you're happy.
Ashley, Doug, Maverick and Belle: The best teamwork on the internet! I love you all ❤🇨🇦
Best Said! Absolutely 💯😅🔥🤟🇺🇸
Yippe! A longer video! No matter what you do, I’ll be there! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
Great video! Always learn something--this time how to lift a heavy item using blocks! Thank you. 🌻
Great problem solving Doug and Ashley… amazing what the two of you can accomplish together!
Really felt for you both there - Doug at the end - your weariness was palpable, and Ashley I was holding my breath each time you gamely wrestled with a cinder block, they looked so heavy!! Really happy for you it's all done now and you can safely re-sort your work space and calmly go forward. Agree wholeheartedly with others in that having the space around us clear of stuff not in its home is vital to happy and safe working. Big hugs and lots more courage to both of you!! ❤💚💯
You have an angel on your shoulder 👍🤞😇😇. You both amaze me ❤❤ Maverick 😘
Oh boy i bet it was exhausting and nerve wracking. But tou pulled through. You guys are strong work well together.
Ouch! But you did it. Kind of reminded me of watching hubby back up his trailers. 😉 He once cut to sharp and slammed the edge of the trailer into the back of his truck. At least you didn't do that. haha. You guys rock! ❤
Ashley, you insire me. Now I just ask my husband, "What do you need? How can I help you." So simple and it works.❤
You are an amazing team…hardworking, industrious…and yes, ingenious!! The cinder blocks were an ingenious idea!! Love you guys, please get some rest!!
Maverick has come a long way from sitting in a baby carrier (car seat) watching his Father build a Mini-Greenhouse in front of the Chicken Building at the House in Kokomo to growing up in Florida. Great stuff guys!! Later
That was some impressive maneuvering
OMG! You’re so lucky. You could have been filming for Fail Army. I did rewind the head to lamp bump because Ashly has a cute giggle.❤
Mercy sakes! That was a "nail biter"🫣😱😵💫...The workshop, seems to me, IS the most important job right now. As you said, you Have to have a home for your Stuff or you can't really clean up. Being neat promotes creativity and enthusiasm for getting things done😄💙💜💚🙋
Wow! That was a hard video to watch. The title hinted at the difficulty you'd have. Glad it all worked out okay. Ingenious idea to use cinder blocks to lift the glass cabinet. You are so clever. You always figure out a way to get things done. Impressive.
As my old late uncle the truck driver used to say, “An inch is as good as a mile as long as you miss it!”😂
I'd say it went well, you got it done.
This brought back the anxiety we all learned to calm on the farm as 10-12 year old "farmer's daughters". All 5 girls! Pulling and backing up trailers with the tractors or field trucks. We learned the maneuvers over time, but the nerves when learning...Wow!
