Doug, People dont listen , Stop giving them a moment of your time... You do YOU! Ignore them...

Yeah I saw that bug too😂 I think that they call them palmetto bug,a giant Florida roach

I love watching all of your projects. It makes me feel calm and relaxed.

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.

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 👍.

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❤❤❤😮

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.

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.

Doug in shorts!! Now you're a Floridian 😎

Is a pleasure to watch your work. You are organized and clean as well as knowledgeable.

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.

Metal paint paddle attachment for your drill. It's a super efficient time saver. The bug -- us Texans call those things tree roaches.

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!!!!

You got it covered Doug keep up the great work.

Nothing wrong with slow and steady progress.❤ I don't know how you keep up with everything, but you do.

Doug is a master builder. Wouldn’t you agree? He could easily teach his skills at a tech college.

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 👍

There is certainly no lack of projects between two homes for one couple!! 🤎

❤ Evie!!! Those blouses that you are wearing look really Beautiful on you!! We love watching you here in our home!!!!❤❤❤❤

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.)

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 👋🏼

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.

Doug the siding is going to make all the difference in your home. I got so excited to see this project.😊

Palmetto bug in on the action 😁

Ash & Doug It’s a solid framework & wiring I know the plumbing will be interesting can’t wait.

Was that a mouse ! You just had a visitor. I thought Eevee was gonna step on it. God Bless your beautiful family.

I always enjoy your videos! I primarily want to comment because the posts that have any comments about your clothing or how you should have done something differently are offensive to me...just rude! You two are some of the best workers and I appreciate how you do things.

I was so.excited when I saw that 34 minutes ago you posted a new video. Thanks.

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 watching your videos! You are a totally fantastic family! Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

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. 👏👏👏👏

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.

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.

Your work is outstanding. You're a true craftsman.

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!

That cockroach was the size of a torpedo! Thanks for the entertainment of the day! (Love the progress too!)

Doug and Eevee, the siding looks good I really like your little balcony. Keep. Doing. You. 🌵🌻🔨

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 like everything you and your wife are doing ....go with your gut feeling. I like it ll

Eevee you sounded excited about the siding! 👍😍

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. ❤❤❤❤

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!

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.

Nice look on the siding! I envy your ambition and drive.

Yikes Eevee that bug is nearly as big as your foot.But still a great time spent with your family.

Shoot, I need a wire dispenser like that for tubing and horse fencing 😂

Awesome progress! It IS good to see the siding going up. Always something going on with your homes. You guys are amazing.

You are the only you tube diy channel I watch. You are impeccable in every thing you do

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.

Yea, the start of your siding, Thank you both.

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❤

Huge Palmetto running around. Could have put a saddle on it for the kids to ride lol. 😅😂😅

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

Oh my word the size of that bug freaked me out!

Yay!!! Siding time! Please continue. Looks so good!

As always, love to see your updates. You all have a wonderful day.🌻🐩🌴

I wait every day for these updates :) It's all looking so good.

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.

I wish I could get y'all to come help me on my 1984 mobile home! I enjoy watching your videos 🥰

You have so many skills. Amazing!

That wire wheel also takes the memory out of the wire!

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

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…🤔

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 love the siding....perfect for the style of your home!

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!!

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.

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 Doug, Eevee, Belle and Maverick 😊

Awesome progress on both homes! The siding going on your house is exciting. Take care

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.

Your porch is looking beautiful,love the green door! Doug,you should be a teacher!!!!!🥰🇨🇦

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 ❤

That’s going to look so good when you’re done!

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!

Awesome video Doug and Eevee.

FYI - KZfaq unsubscribed me from this channel. Good to see work on the house!

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.

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.

Totally agree about peaceful non-emf bedroom space! 👍

Siding looks great Mr Doug & Ms Ashley!!

Hi Eevee and Doug, great progress with the wiring. Siding look’s good, slow and steady is good.

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.

Love this channel. I don’t care what you use or work on, I love watching! ❤️🙂❤️

Diamatacrous earth around the edges of everything for the palmetto bug.

You have tons of projects to get done, which gives us tons of videos to watch! Win/Win!

Yeah siding. I've been looking forward to it.🎉

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.

It is getting there. You both work together so well.

Going to be beautiful !! Loving the mobile home too 😀

You should paint your house Blue - the blue insulation looks great 📘

The home is looking Great !!!

Love the color of your door❤👍got the siding a little at a time👍🤗bye Maverick 👋

Both houses are looking great. I cant wait to see what color you paint your stick built house!

This video was packed full of accomplishments. Extra trips to purchase additional supplies always annoy me. It also impacts my momentum. I end-up feeling less prepared than I should have been. The RainGuard product is new to me. Of course it makes perfect sense. I will add that to my DD List aka Doug Data List. I honestly cannot fathom how Eevee and Doug accomplish so much both on video and otherwise, videos are edited and posted, homeschooling Belle and Maverick, research and plan future projects, maintaining their home, etc. No small accomplishment! I am thankful they share their journey via KZfaq.

Good morning 🙏 🌄 from keavy Kentucky

I'm so excited to see the siding going on!

Yay! The siding is started. That’s going to look so good when it’s finished. I like the pattern on it, gives it a textured look. Wiring is almost finished now too. You have been so busy. Great progress. 😊😊😊
