I love the new house it's beautiful and I know that when y'all do what y'all want done to its going to be that much more beautiful I'm so excited to go on this journey with y'all I give it a 👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖
Love you guys a lot love the new place keep it❤❤❤
My opinion is you should have build a Helicopter landing pad in the mountain, and get your pilot license and use that to travel to the city :)
Yes I had that double oven in my first home we owned the home was built in 70's, it was great! I miss a lot the old school appliances, built like tanks, lol they work and held up. I love the place, really I only paint it do the flooring, the oak looks lovely and oat hold up to kids...
I’m honestly not shocked there closer you’ve gotten to getting the house done the more I’ve subsided what would be next. This sounds like a win win win for everyone involved especially Joel and your grandparents. Congratulations to you all I can’t wait to see the new house. I hope y’all will keep the old house for a vacation place for the whole family maybe everyone could spend the holidays up there. Or maybe you could make it am air B&B for your CZcams family. Whatever you do congratulations
Calling it now, this will become the main residence, and the house on the mountain will become a vacation cabin
I agree with you :)
It makes so much more sense!
Agree
Agree
Your plan sounds perfect! I can’t wait to see the new house and what you have in store
I think yall have it backwards. Go back and watch your faces, hugs, laughter, and pure joy of love of family showing on those faces. YOUR NEW home should be your home. Mountain home should be your getaway home.
Besides time will fly, and Leo will be starting school. He needs playmates and family close by. It's called evolving and change is good for what's best the family.
💯👏👏👏
Agreed!
SO MUCH THIS!
100% accurate!
I was thinking the same thing
Nooooo! Don't change the kitchen. It is gorgeous! The fads go around and come around. This kitchen is not outdated. It is timeless.
I agree, the cabinet space is to die for.
Agree, it’s gorgeous. Just get modern appliances
It's sad they call something that look more practical and better then the one at the house their are building old... Yeah the oven is old but it can be changed... People would kill to have a kitchen made with what look real wood instead of the junk used today.
To preface: I am a tree hugger - and all my life have been a proponent of enjoying natural woods, so all my comments will be along that vein. In your "new house" - you have one of the most beautiful kitchens I have ever seen. Wood and natural wood grains are so special - I pray that you will hold on to them. The built-in bookcases - the natural woods everywhere - you truly have a treasure there. Too many people rip them out or paint them over - and later wonder whatever possessed them to destroy such beauty. I know my opinion is of no matter - but I truly thank you for letting us see it as it is now. All the best to you (no matter what you decide - it'll be right for you).
You said exactly what I was thinking! Couldn’t agree more 👌🏼👌🏼
ditto.. love how you said it. I LOVE THAT HOME...THE WAY IT IS. i love the wood and the mind that went into it.
I lived in Oregon, where my friend still lives in a house built by her grandparents. I suggested to her to paint the wood work and I am so glad she did not listen to me. Don't rip up anything. I don't like the countertops so much, but otherwise I love the house and you have made the right decision. Just flow with it.
Yes, the squares in the ceiling could feel stifling, but give it time. Breathe.
You went through so much with your mom passing away. With a new child and Leo in his terrible twos, take a break. For you, Allie, you're already not in your home environment from the East Coast. I think you made an excellent decision.
I personally think, in the long run, the new house will be so much better for the mental, physical, and financial health of your whole family. I know you love your mountain house, but it belongs to a different era of your life. Friends and family, having your own community is SO important. Especially these days. And having a safe space to foster those relationships is the most important thing in this life. You have an amazing opportunity to grow, to stretch, and feel how to make this new house your own as you live in it. I hope you seize that opportunity. I'm sure all of us will keep watching and be happy to go along on the ride.
Agree 100%. ❤
Well said.
That’s not an old house at all - with so many families unable to afford even a small house - many would be grateful to have such a beautiful home to raise their family in
The house I live in was built in 1894!
They are grateful....
My 2 cents? I'm really relieved you bought a house. This almost 70 year old grandma was worried about how you were going to make living in a construction zone with a newborn work for you. Super, super smart decision on your part, and it looks like a lovely house! So relieved.
The oak wood is really lovely! The following generation will question why all of the oak was painted over or removed in 20 years. I'm very glad Allie will have a secure home near her family.
There’s a reason, oak is overbearing and there are woods that look stunning as accents and cabinets. I would take ash or maple over oak any day. In fact I have unstained maple in my new kitchen.
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi As long as you like it is all that matters.
My humble opinion: If the new house is basically fit to move in, the cosmetic stuff can wait until after you finish the house, and possibly the casita and garage projects at the mountain home. That way, for the new house, focus is on making it comfy and functional to live in for the present and postpartum months ahead. And then, after you go back to the finished home on the mountain, you can make renovation messes at the new house.
Also, the oak in the new house is beautiful. It could use a new color of wood stain, but the warm golden oak is not hideous and it can keep while you finish up existing projects and just enjoy family life and more visits with friends.
and the warm golden oak matches Trent's hair so well
@@barbaramuzychka3836 😅
@@barbaramuzychka3836I thought the same thing!
If they wait long enough to renovate the new house oak might be back in style by then. Who thought gold knobs and faucets would come back in style?!
The new houses look functional and safe. The kids will dirty and slight destroy - so waiting to renovating it logical anyway..
Joel is the man, so thoughtful bringing flowers to his matriarchal line!
I agree but technically it's his patriarchal line as these are all his father's family members. He is a kind, thoughtful young man. Trent has every reason to be proud of his son.
I agree, so sweet and thoughtful and loved the interaction of Trent & Joel while beating the eggs! 🤣
Made me miss what was with my family. My dad passed today. He was 99. Keep making memories to forever hold onto.
💚
That's not even an old house; many people would be happy to have such a lovely house to raise their family in, especially when so many are unable to buy even a modest home.
Agree❤
Agree❤
Agree 👍
Agree❤
Love that Allie will have a safe space closer to family and friends for support. It so valuable.
Especially happy and excited for Allie and her little boys❣️
I'm using a identical one🤣stovetop too. Burners fall out😂
Doesn't say much for the wonderful Au- gaga who's always there, all the time looking after Leo..No support system?
I get it that you need to be by family especially since I work in Salt Lake. I wonder if Trolley Square still exists. And yes we had the same double oven.
@@Ace-ke7fq I think everyone appreciates Au-Gaga, but she is tired of climbing that mountain too!
The oak wood is beautiful! In 20 years, the next generations will wonder why people painted or ripped out all of the oak. Thank goodness Allie will have a safe place close to family.
I don't understand the hatred some have of the oak "orange". I love it!
@@KayInMaine maybe they feel that there is too much of it. i agree. i would paint the trim and beams at least. don't touch those gorgeous kitchen cabinets!
@catherinehicks8771 yeah I don't have a problem with them painting the trim around the windows and the ceiling wood, but those kitchen cabinets are gorgeous.
@@KayInMaine i'm in Maine too! hi ya neighbor!
@@catherinehicks8771there definitely is too much! It’s like someone got a really good deal on oak! Oak is a challenge to paint because of the open grain, lots of prep work.
The look on Trent’s face when he hugs his family melts my heart. He is truly home in their arms.
I cant get over how much Joel sounds like Trent when he talks. Trent's Grandma is the best, I love how sweet he is to her and his whole family ❤
Allie, when I was watching you sitting at the table surrounded by family, I saw a look of joy on your face that I have not seen since you were with your mom before she got sick. I am so happy for you all!
I saw that happiness too.
It looks more than good enough to live in. I like the house the way it is.
The oak woodwork in the new home is beautiful and has class. Don't destroy it!
The oak wood is gorgeous. Why destroy it. There are many who would find this home perfect.
I grew up in a house with a 1980 oak kitchen at home and this house doesn't look the same. First, the oak isn't orange enough and the cupboard doors/ drawers back then didn't have pulls/knobs. This kitchen has a much cleaner, modern design. This house is very tastefully done. The ceiling is gorgeous. Everyone has different taste, but personally, I like it as is. Very inviting and cozy.
Yes!
I feel the same way! It’s cozy good vibes all the right just as it is.
Yes, this house is beautiful as is! And huge! I wouldn't change much except maybe to paint.. I predict that this house will get lived in more than expected, and that the Mountain home will become an air BnB.. or vice versa. It doesn't make sense to have two places just for one to sit empty..
Oak is my very favorite wood and I would love to have that kitchen. Don't get rid of all the oak or paint it out. That was a beautiful custom made kitchen and very expensive one. I know oak is not the wood a lot of people want today, but it is a beautiful wood to use. The old appliances will last longer than the new electronic ones do and are easily repaired at a lower price. This is a nice addition to your channel for us to follow and it will be a good gathering place for all of you. Maybe Joel would be able to move in as a caretaker and have some one on site to watch over the property. He seems responsible enough to do that. Keep working on the new place and finishing that out. We all are looking forward to seeing what happens at both places now.
Agree completely with everything.
Styles in home building changes all the time BUT wood is always fashionable and that oak is absolutely beautiful!!
I'm glad you brought up the oak. In California Oak trees are protected. You can't remove Oak trees from anywhere or your own property without permission. I hope the oak will be part of the plan to keep.
Oh, I agree. I’d absolutely love that kitchen! So warm and welcoming
I agree just update some of it.Congrational kitchen beautiful.Excellent family.🎉
I love the house. It's a great place to have family over. That's so important. I think Allie, especially, needs this, a comfortable, easy home to relax in, have family over, and have the new baby in, go shopping, get to the doctor, have coffee with a friend, etc. The comfort and convenience takes some of the stress out of just living. Maybe your mountain home can eventually become your summer home, your retreat place. Whatever makes you all happy is what's most important! Loved this video.
Mother Theresa once said “if you want to change the world go home & love your family”. You 2 are totally doing the right thing in my opinion! For all the reasons already shared AND so JOEL has his own bedroom! So important for him to have a room/place in his dad’s house! I agree with everything said above about how your priorities shift once you start having children. Love your new family “gathering” spot!! God Bless you all in this new adventure! It’s going to be amazing!! Love to your precious grandparents, mom, Allie’s dad and sisters and their families too! ❤️🙏🏻🥳
I have a St. Christopher medal that she blessed, my sister traveled to India in 1995 and stayed 6 weeks, she went to nursing school with a girl who's family was from there and she went with them to visit, they were able to get an appointment to meet Mother Teresa, they also made a donation to the orphanage, my sister got her picture taken with her and she blessed a medal for me, I was raised Catholic and my middle name is Teresa, not after her but my aunt who's first name I also bear, she and another aunt were nuns.
Going to be honest I think this house is the best thing for you, being near family when you’re having a baby and when your children are young is so important and that house has such a homely feel. 😊
This is such a great move. This will help not only Allie, but the babies, her father as well as Trent. It will be a place to reconnect with family and friends. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Did they mention how many bedrooms and bathrooms The Oak House has?
And also Trent’s grown son, Joel!!
Congrats on the 2nd house. I'm a multiple property owner myself. Best decision to make for your family. Love the all the wood throughout the house. Actually the natural look in kitchen cabinets and coffered ceiling is the new trend for 2024. Maybe just restore the wood with newer stain color and protection. The kitchen is fine just needs updated appliances and hardware on the cabinets. I think you should start a family tradition of Sunday brunch at least once a month. Then when your kids are grown with their own family you guys will be sitting at the end of table like Trent's grandparents asking for a strong drink.
Your new place is just what you needed! I love the big kitchen! And how awesome that you can bring that baby home to a house with no construction. It will be peaceful and calming! Congratulations!!
Best idea ever to live in a house for at least a year before you renovate because you’ll know exactly what you need to change and have no regrets because you rushed in.
I’ve been with y’all since before you got engaged on the van trip! It’s such an honor to follow along in all the seasons of your life! This was one of my favorite episodes ever. I’m not here for the build, I’m here for you and it’s fun tagging along. I find myself so emotional whenever your grandparents are around and love the relationship each of you have with your families! Thank you for bringing us along!
This!
I came in at the same time. 🥂
My name is Brenda, an old Grandmother who adores you guys. There is nothing you can do that doesnt make so so happy!!congrats on your new home. I never liked the heavy snow and I think you and your boys will absolutely love love love your beautiful home. I am about 10 miles from Dallas, TX in a suburb called Mesquute. Tx
I love you no matter what. Makes my heart happy😂
See you next time. ADIOS
Same
Yes love this, been with you for many years! I wish we could hook all the adventures together and watch tge movie from start to now.❤❤❤❤
These are just the thoughts of an old lady, but here they are. As long as I’ve watched you, especially after Leo was born, I’ve been concerned about any of you getting seriously ill or injured during the winter and emergency vehicles not being able to get to you. It seems to me, with the new baby coming soon, that it makes more sense to use this as your primary home. It looks like a lovely home. As long as it’s safe and clean, the color of the wood or the walls is not important. I’m not saying abandon your place. Keep working on it but use the new place as soon as the baby is born.
I think you have found your winter home. The home up the mountain can be your summer home. 😃
I think it makes a lot of sense. Having a new born and toddler in a construction zone in the middle of the mountains is not ideal. Also gives you more time with family.
Let me start by saying, I’m so glad Allie wasn’t hurt in her car accident. 🙏🏾 Your new house makes total sense! Congratulations! That’ll make your lives so much richer and convenient. Also, the fact that you can be closer to your families is priceless. The older your children become the more time you’ll want to spend in your city home.
Please don't change the oak, I grew up in the land of Frank Loyd Wright and his homes are all over the Chicagoland area and people over the years would come into those mission/craftsman homes and "update" them and rip the soul out of them. Please, as a 50+ year old I really do appreciate a home that has its character left untouched or if added to done so with the same architecture design in mind.
Trent’s grandma has to be one of the sweetest humans on earth 💖 Love the new house
Love it. I think you should make this your primary residence and keep the old house as a airbnb.
I wouldn't change a thing! What you see as outdated today will be vintage tomorrow.
That house is beautiful as is! I wouldn't change a thing either!
So happy for you all! Thx for continuing to let us be a part of your lives.
The house is gorgeous with all the wood. Most people would die for a house the way it is. Not downgrade it.
I would definitely leave as is. This younger generation wants everything looking modern and sterile inside home - no character - all greys, blacks and whites - so boring!
Your excitement says it all. Once your children become involved in activities away from the house, you will be SO grateful to not have to make that drive. Also, as close as you are with Trent's grandparents, you will be so happy to be close.
You guys exhaust me, but I sure to enjoy it. The new house will be so nice for your families. Good luck in your endeavors.
*do
Show us the new house please
I honestly feel relieved you bought another house in the valley. I used to worry about you driving the roads to your place in the winter. A sigh of relief. Congratulations. I love your families. You are both blessed to have large families.
Yes! Thank goodness you've taken on something besides "construction content" 24/7! No offense, but I found you guys through your van life, then just your lifestyle, but the last couple years you've morphed into mostly construction content at the bare bones level (like foundations, plumbing and framing stuff, not interior finishes even), and I've drifted away. I know lots of people love that, but as a whole channel, it just isn't my thing! Love your family, and this new house might be more varied content back to your "beginnings"! Congrats, and looking forward to some lifestyle shifts!
I really feel like this is your forever home. It just feels right. Allie is absolutely glowing!
Awe. Grandma is absolutely the sweetest. I almost cried just watching Trent hug her so tight. I miss mine.
I miss both of my grandma's
i love Grandma and Grandpa visits too glad to see them both
I feel it’s your lives. You are two very smart and thoughtful individuals. It’s fine.
Í love the houße! N0 snow nd Leo has a back yard! Allie will be so happy. Life will be easier there. Wow what a big table! That oven has to go,!
You will love being closer to the family and the hospital l. Love y'all♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great decision!
A safer place to spend winter is a very smart move with younger children! Best wishes.
Family....all that TRULY matters in the end. I promise you,this home is a gift beyond words to you all. 🙏💛💛🙏
Follow your hearts, we did and still are, it has made our almost 50 years of marriage full of great memories.
Trent looks like 10 years younger with his fresh face, haircut, and colorful shirt. Y'all are so cute together! Community is something important to build, too. Go for it.
Oh, I spied the arched bookshelves that Allie wants!
Seeing Leo in the fenced backyard made me so happy. I can just see Leo, Frank, Lika, & baby brother running & playing. They'll have so much fun.
🎉Congrats on the new house! 💕
For Allie's sake I think you need to get in the new house ASAP. Make it your MAIN, and the mountain home your summer cabin. Rent it out to skiers in the winter.
PPD is no joke. She needs all the support she can get, especially after losing her mom. 💝
Family is so important for your whole family. 🏘
And I agree with others, once your kids are driving, you're not going to want them to have to drive on that in the winter.
PS... Now that I see the house, it's beautiful.That's not a fixer upper! (I get that you have to replace some beams but the interior / exterior is gorgeous!! Not the hole that I was expecting when you said it needs a lot of work!). And I love the oak!!
Completely agree with everything you said!
Van business, House project, Garage apartment project, Trent's garage projects, now another house project......wonder how many more will be added in? Adding a lot more travel in. So far even though you've had many projects going you have been together through it all. If you finish the back it will be separated from the construction on the front. I can see the newness of being in town will be exciting. Easier access to people and places. It'll all work out either way. Have fun. P.S. really have enjoyed you letting us tag along with the videos.
I am a grandmother and a great grandmother, I love family and think you will be so much happier in the new old house! Sell that project house and never look back. I LOVE the new house and the old appliances that will outlast any of the new crap they make today, I even love the solid oak cabinets made better than anything new. Congratulations!
That “old” oven….I said the exact same thing…probably way better than ANYTHING made today.
Just better quality products, back then.
But then again, I’m 70 and I don’t think like these youngun’s today. 🫢
I’m with you there, and I’m a grandma;)
Trent’s tenderness with his grandparents never fails to make me teary. I’m so happy for you to make more memories with family. ❤
I am a silent subscriber here. I have been watching your vlogs since I discovered it and really loved every episode. My husband is a handyman too like Trent let’s just say they are both “ jack of all trades”. I am a retired Maternity nurse so am aware of Postpartum and it’s really real. Hopefully you will not experience it second time around. By the way we are both retired and grandparents too. I loved how Trent loves his grandparents. I cried when I found out about your Mom too. Life is a blessing! You both are blessed.
It certainly has been an adventure following you two for over five years! Buying the house in the city is exactly the right move with your growing family and your growing need for community and family ties.
How about this idea? Once you finish your mountain home the way you want it, rent it out as a vacation spot to your huge subscription family? How many of us loyal friends who have watched you build this beautiful home in the mountains would love to pay to vacation for a few days in Trent & Allie’s place? I for one would be ecstatic to have the opportunity! It would be a way for us to repay you for the years of great video entertainment, and a way for us to feel connected to you!
Anyway, as long as you keep making great videos, I’ll keep watching! ❤❤
I absolutely agree that Allie should have more support of a local community in the valley, especially while she copes with the loss of her mother. Good luck with the new house. Bless you both!
Absolutely!!!
That house doesnt need anything. Wait a few months and that Oak will start to be popular again. I painted over my oak and I kick myself daily over it. Stone and Oak are beautiful together.
I can't speak for others, but... I am watching your content. That means, if it's another renovation project, so be it.
Your videos have always been of high quality while entertaining. Thus I feel this new project is also set up for success. And that might simply mean a lot of views as success. Regardless of the outcome of the renovation or any other project, you _will_ build something, just like you did so far. At minimum community, a following, a collection of people seeing something of interest, touching their lives.
Keep it comin' guys! 🙂
With understanding that viewers are a part of your income. Please remember that our opinions don't truly matter and your family overall health and happiness is what truly matters. That being said 👍👍👍
I think it’s clear how much you enjoy being closer to family, just in this one video. This was absolutely the best choice for all of you at this stage in your lives. And thinking about Allie’s struggle being without a supportive community after Leo was born and contrasting that to this simple family get-together, got me teary-eyed. Having a comfortable home in the valley, close to family, friends, medical care and shopping, will make a huge difference with this second baby.
I love what I’ve seen of this house so far. My theory is that the quickest way to make your house look dated is to follow trends. Classic style and coordination of the fixed features, like the wooden cabinets and the countertops, will stand the test of time. This house is already cozy and charming, without anything added. It’s also perfect for family gatherings, as we saw in this video!
I agree! Trends come and go. Stick with the classics.
I personally think you should sell the cabin up in the mountains and keep the beautiful new home you just bought. It's perfect the way it is. It has a beautiful kitchen and back yard. Perfect for a growing family.
I agree 100%. It's no longer 'Trent and Allie' battling the elements on the remote mountainside. There are two little ones who also need to be near family and amenities such as parks and libraries. Even going for an ice cream cone on a summer night. And I also love the oak house as it is. Maybe a change or two, but it is beautiful now.
I do hope they keep the cabin until they finish renovating both places. That way they can live in a construction free zone in either place.
Yeah. Finish it off and sell it.
It would make a good Airbnb and family vacation rental type place if they want to hold on to it. But I agree - the house in town is a real home and a great place made to raise a family in. Not everything needs to be a project.
I'm so happy that you are prioritazing Allie's mental Health! Go for it!
Yes you all need this new home. Leo can go to preschool, family can gather, you don't have to worry about wild animals in the forest. The cabin could be your Airbnb. Enjoy!
I am in a blubbering mess right now. I’m 72 now and I remember all those times and miss them so much. The love that is in your family, please hold on to it. You are truly blessed. ❤
Oak is making a HUGE comeback right now. I love that coffered ceiling, wow. Also come on guys, you know everyone wants the house tour!!! Seriously though, congrats. I know this will give you a lot of relief after having baby #2. 💜
You made the right decision to move closer to family. It’s important for you both, Leo and future baby to be surrounded by such a loving family. I’m happy for Joel as well so he can be closer to you all. Due to distance,I never got to know my grandparents, uncles, aunts or cousins so I have no close connections to family.
Joel is the best; he is very considerate to his matriarchal line by delivering flowers!
I'm Old. I love the house the way it is. Ovens were made analog for a reason, i bet it is newer than you think. They work and don't break, better than digital. Just because it's new doesn't equal better.
Totally agree.
Wow! I wouldn’t change a thing! I just love the oak! I hate that nowadays everything is white and non descriptive. I love the charm and warmth of the woodwork ❤
Yeah, everything is so white and sterile!!!! Can't stand it! Love the oak so much.
Same here. The oak gives such a warm feel.
It's always great to watch you two together but Grandma always is the highlight for me. I'm so glad you are now able to be closer and have big family gatherings.
Being so close to family is the ultimate. I wish I had that with mine. We are all spread out. I miss that family connection and hugs, lots of hugs!!
I never knew any of my grandparent. I got so teary eyed when Trent hugged his grandma so tight and she said how proud she was of him and Allie. That melted my heart. You are doing the right thing by being closer to family. Family is so precious, make all the memories you can and cherish those memories for a lifetime.
100% the right decision. The huge kitchen and dining area are great for family and friends gatherings where everyone mingles and the children are free to have fun.
Keep the oven, it is well designed and the new appliance market is not the best for longevity at this time. We went for a vintage range for this reason, wishing we’d done so sooner!
The concept isn't new, ya know! Here in 1800-1900 Texas, farmers and ranchers in remote areas would build "Sunday" houses in town. They were usually small but served the purposes of staying a night or two to get supplies, go to dances and other celebrations, see a doctor and Sunday morning services before returning to the farm or ranch. Our need for community is strong and so we fill as we can. Kudos to you, my husband and I would like to do the same since we live in a remote part of Texas but prices are high here. We have a Minnie Winnie and a place to park it, so we just take it to town. My sister lives there and she likes to say that we live in "the Boondocks" and rarely visits me. So I totally get why this was so important to you. ❤
As a parent of teens, you’ll be glad your new drivers don’t have to navigate the mountain in the winter, and they’ll enjoying being closer to school and social activities as teens. Good choice. You could always rent it if you aren’t using it. It feels crazy when you’re in it, but it makes sense! p.s. I love all the oak in the new house! It’s easy to modernize with accents. The oak will be classic. Keep the old appliances too. You won’t regret it! They last, and any repairs are worth it. I love my double oven.
The trajectory of your lives is changing so it’s a marvelous idea- moving to the city. I feel the same way about the oak, It’s warm and inviting. Also I had that same double oven for 18 years in a home which 😅we had built for ourselves in 1993. I loved it. The bottom oven was perfect for cooking Thanksgiving turkeys and you still have the top oven for the potatoes and Green bean casserole. I would keep it as long as you can because they don’t make these new appliances like they used to years ago. May God bless you and your family moving forward.
After all these years of watching your videos, I'm certain this one is my favorite. Such a beautiful, caring & generous Family!
The entire World needs a lot more of what you have. Love to everyone and WE will see YOU on the next one. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have followed you since before your engagement so I have been emotionally invested. This brings me joy. When your family is growing, picking the perfect place for your nest means thinking about, family, school district, etc. This new home checks a couple of those boxes already and personally I love all the oak, its warm and cozy. Exactly what a home should be.
Same here the good ole traveling Mexico and South America, pre-covid days.
I love your new home. The wood looks warm and inviting and the fact that you are in closer proximity to family is priceless. On another note I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. People we love never die, they live in our hearts forever.
Go for it!! It makes so much sense for Allie, let alone Trent and Leo! To have close family on both sides to reach out helping is a massive blessing!! Congratulations!!🩵🩷💐🎉🎊
That new place is beautiful, don’t be so quick to make permanent changes.
From the beginning….I could never wrap my mind around you two being enthralled with mountain life no matter how many walls you built……..
I’ve never seen your mama smile so much having you in a closer home to family❤️
PLEASE do not change the oak out!! That house is so gorgeous and the oak will come back in style (never went out as far as im concerned). Even that old oven is classic!!
Yesss! Agree 💯‼️
That's my dream house!
I love your new home. I love the kitchen, space, cabinets, dining ceiling, fireplace and outside space. I hate to see it all destroyed. Those old appliances are still working? Ha, good luck finding today’s appliances with such long life. Good MP finds. 🤗👍👍
I'm an only child, watching this gathering makes my heart happy.
My husband has a suggestion for your table to make it slide in easily--use parafin wax on the rails underneath. We did it with my mother's trestle table and it has been great for years.
Love the style of that house don’t change anything just move into it
Exactly it’s amazing what a good lick of paint can do. Even kitchen cabinets can be painted in pastel shades.
Leo is now a wee boy rather a baby.
The ever evolving world of Trent and Allie, from your travels across the globe living in a van, single then married. Moving to mom’s house, building the raised garden house to building your own house in the mountains in the SNOW. Baby Leo, Trent’s garage, the start of mountain made vans, Allie’s mom passing, blessing your family and friends as God blesses you. Now a new baby soon and new house. It is you sharing your lives with your subscriber family weekly that keep us tuning in. Trusting that you keep God first in this next chapter of your life and beyond. Keep sharing and we will be right here for the ride. Y’all get your popcorn ready.
For some reason, even though I subscribed, I have not seen any new videos from Trent's Garage in several months. Is that channel just for paying patreons? Also, Is Mountain Maid Vans on its own separate channel? Does anyone have the name of it? I cannot find it and they have not gone there or even mentioned about how long the waiting list is for people waiting for their vans.
Mountain Made, i think.@@barbaramuzychka3836
Yea! It has happened at last-Trent and Allie have been struck by sanity! Trading dangerous roads, isolation and mountains of snow for inches of green grass and the Leo’s being out of style. There are still homes and furniture being used in the UK of 600 year old oak. As for the double oven, you’ll get by with a second rack from Goodwill and a cell phone timer. Love your growing family.🎉🥳💕
I understand and think it's a great idea to be closer and more accessible to your family especially with small children, they need that family too, I actually love the warmth of the oak wood trim, remember things come back in fashion, so I would do a minimal update/refresh, it is a very nice home and looks like a wonderful place for the children and family to gather.
I love how the siblings hug each other, it's with feeling and great love for each other.
I wish everyone in that family had a video channel, with or without perfection. I love them❤
The new house already makes more sense to me than the house in the mountains. I don't understand the mountain houses layout, but I love the new house. Enjoy it!
This "idea" for another house... a home for family togetherness and a place to escape from your stress on the mountain ..... IS TOTALLY AMAZING !!! Your breakfast with family proves that you have more than made the perfect decision for your family. Enjoy life, it is all we have .. together.
I think it is a fabulous idea . Frankly I am getting snow weary just watching the mud and all the work controlling the weather . Yes! A lawn what a lovely concept. Enjoying a green space to relax and the real bonus is The Family ! So loving 🥰 May Gods blessing always be with you all . 🙏😘
Who else teared up at 25:50 when granny said she's so proud of them? ❤🥺🥰
Who Didn't?
No longer the two of you battling the elements. Your babies need family, park outings, etc. that cannot be provided on a regular basis high up in the mountains. Personally, I would sell the cabin and embrace a life in the beautiful "Oak House" that so many people would give their right arm to have just as it is! Blessings to your families!
That is what I am thinking too. Too many life experiences out of reach at that mountain location. The babies need to know big brother Joel, and spending max time with grandma and grandpa is essential!
Scrap the mountain house and spend time with the family. Simplify your life.
And BTW I LOVE LOVE LOVE Trent's grandparents.
