Yeah I saw that bug too😂 I think that they call them palmetto bug,a giant Florida roach
Belle would have loved seeing it. ☺️
I love watching all of your projects. It makes me feel calm and relaxed.
Hey Mack, funny seeing you here!
I’m posting at 1 hour after upload and already 106 comments not including me ! Views are over 5,500 ! Your videos are doing great, your channel is growing, deservedly so. Great job guys 👍 ❤❤❤
Doug, People dont listen , Stop giving them a moment of your time... You do YOU! Ignore them...
I wonder if Maverick would like to have those pop-outs from the electrical boxes. They look like pirate treasure coins. You could even spray paint them gold if you wanted.
He loves playing with those, haha. I went around and picked them all up to put in a container to save :)
Aww that was nice
every time you drop one of those knockouts on the floor it triggers a great memory of my seven year old self following my dad around while he was building our home. we would chase those round little coins until we collected enough to play store cashier.....thanks for the memories.
You're the only person I've ever seen who makes sure the siding is a half inch up off the floor to prevent water from wicking into it❤❤❤😮
Same for bead board also.
Doug in shorts!! Now you're a Floridian 😎
Yup - finally converted!
Is a pleasure to watch your work. You are organized and clean as well as knowledgeable.
Doug, you always think thru your projects. You are the only one who has to be accountable. 😊I know your first priority is keeping your family safe.😊 The panels and front door look 👍.
I love the work you do, don’t apologize for it.
Anyone who doesn’t like it can move on and start their own channel.
Yes agree! Move on if you don't like it.

I love that he pays such attention to detail. He does things right the first time, so he doesn’t have problems down the road.
I wish they would. The problem is that the people who don't like us or our work are the top viewers. They make sure to watch every video and are often some of the first to arrive. For some reason they can't stop watching and become obsessed with being rude for no reason at all. They never have anything better to do and don't want to spend their time watching things they enjoy.
Metal paint paddle attachment for your drill. It's a super efficient time saver. The bug -- us Texans call those things tree roaches.
Same here in Mississippi, and they are everywhere!
You got it covered Doug keep up the great work.
Doug is a master builder. Wouldn’t you agree? He could easily teach his skills at a tech college.
Absolutely!❤
That siding looks fantastic.I had no idea guardian angels dealt in primer,but obviously yours are a cut above and a couple of them hefted that can of primer over to you for just this job. Heavenly ❤
This primer ,I think was from when you guys did the back porch area and had primer matched to the same color as the exterior until you could paint later on, great job 👍
❤ Evie!!! Those blouses that you are wearing look really Beautiful on you!! We love watching you here in our home!!!!❤❤❤❤
Eevee, I think you look so cute with bangs, frames your pretty little face nicely. And the short pony tail is cute too. Love y’all. Bye Maverick !
Oh my word the size of that bug freaked me out!
That cockroach was the size of a torpedo! Thanks for the entertainment of the day! (Love the progress too!)
It’s a water bug, are at least that’s what we call them in Texas. They don’t infest a house like cockroaches do. They love old wood outside to hide in. They are called water bugs because they can come up around plumbing or where there’s water
@@mommisabommis
Yeah, they seemed to have missed it. Where was the cat?
There is certainly no lack of projects between two homes for one couple!! 🤎
I was so.excited when I saw that 34 minutes ago you posted a new video. Thanks.
We're trying to keep them coming!
I was going to comment about the bug, it looked like a roach, but it has been addressed. Maverick makes me smile, laugh at the end saying bye, he is looking forward to say it.
I think part-used tins of paint just appear from nowhere. They materialise. They probably come from the same place that teaspoons and socks go to.
Love the siding. The green door is beautiful with the color of the siding. Love your channel! You never get boring. Enjoy watching whatever you are doing.
It won't be staying light brown. That's just primer. Thanks
@@darlenehargrove3056
Yes, that green door is just beautiful!
Nothing wrong with slow and steady progress.❤ I don't know how you keep up with everything, but you do.
Doug the siding is going to make all the difference in your home. I got so excited to see this project.😊
@@sheilavanduynfote5539
I absolutely love that porch off the bedroom!!! So unique!
You could tell getting started on the siding made you really excited.
I love that door on your terrace/porch or whatever you call it.
Have a good day.
Bye Maverick 👋🏼
I love watching your videos! You are a totally fantastic family! Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Your Home is going to be so cute. I've always been in awe of your before and after and this will be the same. Your balcony is so good.
I didn't think I was gonna like the siding, but now that I've seen it, it do like it.
You know that the video doesn't really end until Maverick says bye.
There are still some old videos playing on endlessly forever out there in the ether.
When I was in trade school in the 1960’s one of the guys took a knock out and worked to the exact size as a quarter. Tried it in a vending machine, it worked! My old shop teacher would really like your work. He always emphasized that we were to do our work in a neat and workmanlike manner.
Good morning to my favorite channel. Y’all are doing great on your projects. I love everything you do. Love the door and color. All I can say is always do you and both houses are going to be beautiful. 👏👏👏👏
Doug, you are one smart guy!! You know EVERYTHING about building! Everytime I watch I'm amazed of your extreme knowledge!!! I bet the guys on This Old House show would LOVE to have you!!! You know more than they do!!!!
@@pattymoroney6953
Absolutely!!!
Palmetto bug in on the action 😁
You are so meticulous in everything you do! It is a joy to watch, to see what can actually be done by people who care! Great work!
Yikes Eevee that bug is nearly as big as your foot.But still a great time spent with your family.
And that is why you don't want trees near your house and seal every opening in Florida.
Nice look on the siding! I envy your ambition and drive.
That wire wheel also takes the memory out of the wire!
Ash & Doug It’s a solid framework & wiring I know the plumbing will be interesting can’t wait.
Your work is outstanding. You're a true craftsman.
You are the only you tube diy channel I watch. You are impeccable in every thing you do
Awesome progress! It IS good to see the siding going up. Always something going on with your homes. You guys are amazing.
I agree with your comments regarding the bedroom. My kids think I’m crazy for not having my cell phone next to my bed. When I sleep, it stays in the kitchen.
My dad and I bought an EMF reader and I was shocked at the output just coming from the plug in alarm clock!
Huge Palmetto running around. Could have put a saddle on it for the kids to ride lol. 😅😂😅
😂 I would have screamed and ran out the door! 🤣🤣
Eevee you sounded excited about the siding! 👍😍
I wish I could get y'all to come help me on my 1984 mobile home! I enjoy watching your videos 🥰
That siding looks great. I’m all for baby steps on large projects that are centered around stage. It will be worth every panel!!! ❤
I must admit that while your renovation on the mobile home is interesting, I love it when you work on the big house. The siding looks great❤
Oh I love, love that green door. It is beautiful! You and Eevee work so well together. That siding looks like the siding my husband put on a building he built to put all his tools & odd & ends into. That was about 30 years ago and it is still standing. May not have been the same material as it has been so long ago, but it looks the same. He painted it a pale green color. We’ve never had to repaint it. I did repaint the door last month when I got some green paint the same shade. But the siding is still ok. The work is going so fast on the trailer. You know just what to do whether it is framing, wiring or whatever. I’m going to hate seeing it finished because I am enjoying it so much!! Hope you understand what I mean. Until next time. ❤❤❤❤
Fill that gap at the top with a pretty piece of crown molding. It’s such a sweet little balcony, that piece would make it even more special.
Doug and Eevee, the siding looks good
I really like your little balcony. Keep. Doing.
You. 🌵🌻🔨
When I saw the bug go by my first thought was is that one of those giant hissing cockroaches (knowing Belle's interest in Entomology I thought she might have one as a pet.)
Siding looks great Mr Doug & Ms Ashley!!
Thank you again :)
She changed her name to Eve or Evie.
@@coralees7307 It's okay. Not a problem.
I wait every day for these updates :) It's all looking so good.
I'm with you on using 14/2 for the bedrooms. Really no need for the extra expense of 12/2 for bedrooms, however, I thought I heard you say you were going to use a mini split system. It may be a challange to get the air in the bedrooms if the door is closed for privacy . My brother heated with a wood stove and bought through-the-wall electric vents, which was mainly a through-the-wall kitchen or bath vent with a decorative cover on both sides that was super quiet and it's purpose was to move heated or cooled air from one room to the other. He placed it high on the wall where the heat gathered to move the heated air into the bedrooms. Worked out well. In your case since moving cool air is more of a concern because of where you live, placing it lower down toward where the cooler air is would be better. You may want to ponder on this and if it's a possibility, go ahead and run a wire in the wall before you put up your wall coverings. Just a thought.
Good thought!
You are doing great everything takes time and you both have a eye for detail and that's terrific! You do what you want and what makes you happy, we are just here to cheer you on! :)
I love the siding....perfect for the style of your home!
You have so many skills. Amazing!
I enjoy watching you run the wire The whole process...
I don't know if anyone said anything to you about not watching the whole process but I miss it I miss you under the house showing us how you're running the wire along and where you're pulling it up cuz I just enjoy it
Well, the views went down quite a bit on these last couple of wiring videos so to me that says that many people aren't interested in seeing this part. And it's a slow job, and it adds a lot of work to keep moving the camera around under the house with me as I crawl under the chassis and climb in and out over and over, if people aren't even interested.
We feel like a lot of other channels can post anything they want and people enjoy it, but we really have to work to keep people interested in what we are doing. Most people skip through the videos and then we have to spend our days answering all their questions that we already answered in the videos but they didn't feel like watching. It's frustrating at times. We try so hard to make well edited, well paced, enjoyable videos.
Along with that, we have seen a huge increase in complaining and silly questions with these videos. People think we are stupid and don't know what we are doing. It is discouraging.
@@diyfferent It seems to me that there has been a general trend to complaining more all across CZcams videos, recently.
I'm an electrician. Would I do some things differently? Yes. Do I think you two are doing a great job and appreciate your considered approach? Also, yes.
I enjoy your videos, personally, I find the effort you have put into editing these somewhat repetitive sections shows - they flow well. It's part of the process.
Oh, and, yes, your decision to go with metal boxes was not only the right one in terms of depth but also rigidity and fire safety.
Now, a question. Are you going to put in hard-wired smoke alarms? You know there's a cute blue 14/3 cable for that.....
Sorry, couldn't resist.
@@diyfferent I don’t know if people think you are stupid as much as people don’t watch your whole videos or haven’t been watching you for awhile, lol. Caught myself answering one of those questions for you the other day I definitely see how it can get annoying. Like you should hard wire for smoke alarms- what? Lol. This is the 4th or 5th reno I’ve seen you guys do, smh, and you have even mentioned several times in this series that you’ve done it. Just replying because I hate to think of you getting discouraged, I love your new channel also and think you are doing great and creative things and enjoying the journey.
I'm really sorry to hear that your views went down I enjoy watching your content I've been watching your videos for a long time......
But I think possibly the environment that are country is in right now is very sad and I think a lot of people are stressed out about the future after the elections in November I know some days I get on here to watch CZcams and I'm frustrated and I start finding myself bouncing around and going back and bouncing around and going back were before I wasn't doing that I was watching the video all the way through..........
Yay!!! Siding time! Please continue. Looks so good!
Awesome progress on both homes! The siding going on your house is exciting. Take care
As always, love to see your updates. You all have a wonderful day.🌻🐩🌴
I LOVE a mobile home! Many moons ago, that red one caught our eye, and we watched you rebuild it to perfection. The home, barn and property were completely restored.
What you have done with this house and property is simply unbelievable. Anyone else would have passed it by as a total loss.
PS: I wonder what became of the old school house…🤔
Yes! I have been watching all this time too. I like how Doug thinks. The plan man and he knows the value of quality. Admirable! I absolutely love this family! And my Gawd! Have you seen Maverick’s art? Wow!❤
Only in Florida, where gigantic flying water bugs are so normal, that no one screams when they see one crawling across the floor. I can only imagine how many are out at night. I admit, I'm squeamish. The siding looks really nice and you're very wise to only buy a few and primer the edges in all that humidity.
So thrilled with the siding! I love that door and the color. It's gonna be so darned good!!! HI Mav! Hello to Belle :) Can't wait guys. God Bless. Love, Granny
FYI - CZcams unsubscribed me from this channel. Good to see work on the house!
Shoot, I need a wire dispenser like that for tubing and horse fencing 😂
Your attention to detail is over the top. I'd rent or buy from you in a minute. Great video. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
You guys accomplish and know how to do so many things. I have been trying to put shelves on my wall for 2 weeks now. I was on a roll. I got the things I thought I needed from home depot. Ended up going back about 7 times. I ran into brick behind the plaster in the kitchen. An old chimney that I knew was there just didn't realize the put plaster straight over it back in the 1920s. When I "planned", I'm using that term very loosely, (lol) the shelves I didn't want to use those cheap ugly utility looking brackets. Guess what? That's what I am ending up using because I'm on a budget (and have no skills) and my first plan failed. I'm saying all of that because doing DIY work is hard!! You guys are awesome for doing what you do!!
That’s going to look so good when you’re done!
We used to use Kilz, now my son uses Bullseye on his jobs…..great product! Your mobile home is actually brand spanking new now…great job!
Good morning, Family. I was watching and saw a bug that looked like one of them, Florida cockroach. I don't know if you saw it or not, or maybe a big beetle. 😊
I seen it too
Diamatacrous earth around the edges of everything for the palmetto bug.
Yea, the start of your siding, Thank you both.
It is getting there. You both work together so well.
Thanks for becoming a member :)
I love working with 14 gauge! My bedroom has life support machines in it for my husband. Dialysis machines that need heaters and pumps. Im glad it’s 20 amps for that. I’m sure that’s not common but there are lots of old people in mobile homes.
One of the reasons I moved out of Fla. Palmetto bug crawling in my hair when I was sleeping 😱
My dad lives down in the villages now, and last time I visited him I told him we gotta burn his place down after I found one in the bathroom at 3am 😂 hate those things!
I live in Florida and have come to realize Palmetto roaches are the Florida state bird! 😂
Florida is the best place we've ever lived. Cockroaches don't bother any of us. I picked that little cute guy up with my bare hand and tossed him outside later that day and he flew away. It's wild that an insect made you move to a different state.
Not a fan of roaches, but it was just too hot/ humid, and after 9 years in Fla.,I needed to be closer to my family in Western New York
@@maryfrench9757 Now you have to 7 to 8 months of winter. I'm sooo done with frigid winters. The mere thought of winter stresses me out.
Consider where you will have things mounted on the walls in the future such as shelves TVs TP holder etc. and add blocking to screw into. i did this on a remodel and it greatly helps not having to use drywall anchors in the future.
❤ Good morning Doug, Eevee, Belle and Maverick 😊
Always enjoy watching your videos. If there is a will they is away to do anything you set your mind to I like that you figure a way to do everything ❤
Your porch is looking beautiful,love the green door! Doug,you should be a teacher!!!!!🥰🇨🇦
Going to be beautiful !! Loving the mobile home too 😀
I rode past you guys main home the other day. I was perplexed because the van and home looked so familiar. I’d love to see the mobile home. Take care and keep up the good work.
Living in this trailer after you guys are done would be a flex lmao
Lost my comment. Love the siding choice, that is going to look modern and sharp. I'd try to finish the siding on that house, mainly because I cannot wait to see it finished, Also, though we are in hurricane country, the winds can lift roofs off and peel them like a sardine can, and it will peel the walls without a solid surface. Been known to push walls in too, seen in Hurrican in South Carolina large holes in walls that were solid, objects sticking through the side wall in the middle of a wall. I think about it and get her done. Rain coming down so hard it is flooding the house from small gaps in foundations, window casing, door edges because the winds push it hard against surface. Hugo, they actually nailed doors close using 3 x 4 during the storm because it wanted to blow the door in. So, think about buttoning up those outside walls, getting the house sealed and safe. What I believe causes most damage is the wind getting into the house, like doors or windows going, it will help to lift the roof off. Just something to think about getting done for safety reason. Other I wise, I would not stay in home during huge storms. Not trying to scare you but been in so many hurricanes I cannot count them. peace!
The home has been like this since 2021. We're not scared of hurricanes where we are. The people who have to worry the most are the ones who live closest to the shoreline. We've come very close to being hit by tornadoes in other states (New York and Indiana). For some reason we're just not the scared type. But we're just ready to get the siding done just to get it done once and for all :)
Looks good. No worries I just watch whenever your on you tube
Funny to see so much "Idaho siding' (aka house wrap) in a Florida home 🙂
3:26 OMG .... Break out the Advion Roach gel NOW!
Best stuff ever for here in Florida!! I used it 2.5 yrs ago after maintenance replaced my fridge in my townhome apt ....it was infested, German roaches. It was a horror show in my kitchen.
I promise Advion is THE BEST....
I've not seen ANY bugs in 2.5 yrs!
I like everything you and your wife are doing ....go with your gut feeling. I like it ll
You have tons of projects to get done, which gives us tons of videos to watch! Win/Win!
You know the outlet boxes are well attached to the stud when you can punch out the outlet box plugs and the box does not move. Great job on the wiring so far. The metal boxes look to be so solid vs the plastic nail on boxes. This will make plugging in and removing electrical cords from the outlets so easy once the walls are in place.
The home is looking Great !!!
Hi Eevee and Doug, great progress with the wiring. Siding look’s good, slow and steady is good.
Take your time but don’t get into too deep and cause yourselves undo stress. It does help to prioritize projects so you’re able to stay on budget and bring them to a finish within a reasonable timeframe. 💪👏🏼😊
Glad you are priming the edges- think the rain screen material is very sensible. Will also be a break in the thermal bridge and also just having a pocket of air. Might even create a way for the air to slowly rise and escape out the top- would do a insect screen on that also. ( after seeing that cockroach LOL ) A really good caulking A good quality paint- Two coats back brushed or rolled. Drip flashing on the bottom to kick it away from the house. A really good caulking around the doors. Would also possibly pre painting the panels and getting the edges coated. Guess always thinking of how driving rain you see in Florida storms. Love the rain screen.
Both houses are looking great. I cant wait to see what color you paint your stick built house!
I love that you’re starting on your siding also, it’s going to inspire and please yall to see it in completion. Great job too on your siding and your wiring technique ❤.
Love this channel. I don’t care what you use or work on, I love watching! ❤️🙂❤️
I have lived in 5 mobile homs and I love them ... they'll very comfortable and convenient 😉
Totally agree about peaceful non-emf bedroom space! 👍
Awesome video Doug and Eevee.
