Ashley, throw down an old tarp where Doug is tossing his debris. You won't need to rake through the small stuff with your fingers to get it up off the ground. Important with lead paint flakes, nails and screws. Nice job guys.

You will sleep better knowing the wiring and building materials will be safe after your done with remodel.

Doug's a great "builder" but, let's face it, he IS the "Demolition Man!" I've never seen anything like it. Once he gets goin', there's no stopping him! Bravo!

Poor Ashley, she is a real hard worker. Your whole family is so marvelous.

I’m glad to know about that diaper too. When Ashley said “eeuuuu” I was afraid of what she had found. Maverick is growing so quickly. I loved when he put his sweet face on the plastic dust barrier and talked to Doug.

It seems to me that Ashley is a lot happier now. One step forward, it is going to be awesome .

Ashley sure is a happy camper these days and it looks great on her!!! Ya'll make such an awesome team! Ripping it out and tossing it in the dumpster, teamwork makes the dream work!

Kudos to Ashley...from my arm chair view, her work was at least as hard or not harder...all that debris being carried and lifted into the dumpster. You are a blessed man to have such an industrious and intelligent wife and beautiful children.

I am new to You Tube , but watch a lot of these type of programs and I have to say you two are my fav. While other programs are okay I am so amazed at your skills , your imagination and your ethics .Please keep up the great work and don't let others bring you down as there is so many of us rooting for you guys and remember even Jesus had haters . Love your channel .

You guys are so much inspiration to us DIYers. We bought a 1995 doublewide and You guys have helped us getting our home together. It has been so enlightening watching you all and I have loved seeing your precious children grow. Your whole family and sharing your knowledge with us is such a blessing. Thank you!

Maveric is so adorable. He just brings such an innocent happy vibe to the video. Watching you work always makes me wish, Oh, to be young again. The things I could do.

I'm not sure how long I've been following your blog, but it's at least 2 years I think. I check every night for a new update and almost cheer out loud when I see one. And can't wait for the next one. This is my first time leaving a comment, but just wanted you and Ashley to know you have a lovely family and everyone of you work hard to make your home a happy one and one to be proud of of. Even Bell and Maverick pitch in and help. Was a bit shocked when I saw you had sold your last home and up and moved to Florida but now that I see what your plans are for this latest home, I can't wait to see how it progresses. All the best of luck and happy renovating.

What is it about watching someone else work? I love that you guys keep on going! Great job!

Little Ashley is power packed. 💪🏻 Go girl.

I think we can all agree that Doug is a "Demolition Machine". And it looks a little bit more intimidating when sped up. Absolutely a Great video and I am looking forward to more. Ashley, great job on cleanup and yard beautification. Two thumbs up to you both!! Later

Wow that was the problem there was a dinosaur underneath the floor!!! LOL I love the opening scene with Maverick and the plastic and Belle telling Maverick you need to get out of there. They are so sweet with each other.

Not being nosy, but you may be able to apply for homestead exemption in the state of Florida, and you may get some tax breaks, I'm not certain but it's worth giving it a shot just want to give you a possible heads up every little bit helps. Ashley that's a Florida construction technique with the diaper and a lot of the small towns there are no codes so you get lots of surprises like that one. People use whatever they have at hand, whether it makes sense or not God bless you and your Family.

I'm soooo excited when the notification pops up

Love demo day!! Great start Mr Doug & Ms Ashley!! #Bye

Love the "tap tap" with the wrecking bar, and then BAM! dive in with both hands to tear out the drywall! A little scary to see the ceiling bounce so much when Doug was kicking it down. Another good days' work.

Doug’s high kick and the *nope* killed me 😂😂

Was looking at your bathroom plan..just a suggestion, maybe u cud put the door in the middle of the room, shower to the right, vanity straight ahead from the door and toilet to the left..you cud than have a bigger window and more natural light..just a thought 😊

That Ashley.... she's a keeper. 👍

Well guys.... I'm so glad you decided to peel back the walls. Wow what a job. just a heads up, put a window fan to blow out the dust.....Stay safe..

Mav you cute boy💕 You are right about the vent mask! What a blessing in doing that dirty demolition stuff. I can’t help wondering about that windowless interior room. You guys are looking more in a normal place now with everything torn up!👍🏻❤️ Ash you are a hard worker, girl.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m exhausted. 😂 Great job!

Ashley is a trooper. Both of yall are two of the hardest working people on the KZfaqs. Id bet they add a didget figure to the value of this house.

Good to hear the 'work' music again!!

Progress looking Great! Ashley please put on a Mask, even when outside picking up old insulation. Your Lungs are Just as important. Stay Healthy. Love & Hugs from Yuma, Arizona 🥰❤❤❤❤

WOW so satisfying watching demolition Doug in action! I look forward to watching your home being transformed into a masterpiece. Cannot wait to see Ashley's surprise either...the suspense is real! Maverick super cute as always and Belle is gorgeous. Thanks for another great video guys👌. Keep safe and God bless your beautiful family🤲💓💐

Anyone else happy to hear Doug’s “get busy and get it done!” music? Love it! You guys know how to get things done! 👍🏻

Doug and Ashley You made quick work of that. What a great team you both are.

When I was a kid growing up in Florida I remember the “old timers” talking about “fat pine.” That was native, old growth pine that had been around since the Conquistadors. It was absolutely indestructible. Nothing could touch it: termites, mold, mildew, nothing could hurt it. In the ‘60’s and on if an sold building was being torn down and fat pine was in it, contractors would line up to bid on the salvaged pine. In a 1990’s college class I took, the professor said there was only one stand left, protected, on the north edge of the Everglades. I don’t know the age of your house but if that old growth pine was used to build it, it’s a gem and save that wood!

I have never seen old flooring come up as easily as that one did, you were lucky that time. You both worked really hard to get that work done, though I have to say team work like that wins every time. The wall repair patch method was a conversation piece to be sure, I hope it does not catch on any time soon! At least the old structure was not so bad, though the mismatched items had let the work down. This time you are not having to cut out rot and mould, which is a big plus. Waste and building work always appear to be close friends, but reusing the fully seasoned studs makes sense always round, fully seasoned, on site, good condition and already bought and paid for. I think there are some exciting times ahead, it is no wonder the children are excited.

You guys rock! Y’all are awesome human beings who don’t mind working to make your life and the lives of your family better! You always meet any problem head on and take the proper, correct way to fix it! Thank you so much for sharing your life adventures with us! ❤️

That was awesome. Ashley got it all cleaned up outside and now have to tear out the old porch. 🙄 Goodness! Built the new addition over the top of the porch. Next video will be awesome also. I am so excited seeing the old become new.

Good Morning Doug & Ashley,the work begins but I know this will be a beautiful home when you are done.You both know the meaning of blood sweat & tears for sure.HI KIDS 👋

THE two hardest working folks on the entire internet! Zowie is all I can say - what a team. You two are an army!! Wonderful progress. Blessings.

I absolutely love the picture you clipped out for this video! At first I was like what am I looking at? Alien invasion? With the ceiling opened up and insulation n fan hanging down and Doug in his helmet/mask! Great picture! Demo is off to a good start! I read a comment from a viewer that was quick to judge without knowledge, thoughtless and unkind, don’t listen to them. Your kids have great examples from both of you. They see hard work pays off, this is your job/work, and you can do it at home! They see how you two work so well together, make decisions together. And you involve them on some projects too. You are teaching them so many different skills, thought process, math… We don’t see everything you all do together and we shouldn’t. Keep up the great work mom and dad!

That was allot of work amazing to see how thy put the room together. Happy your saving the wood. Your kids are the most adorable kids. Such a joy to see them. SO well behaved and are just the cutest things. Your daughter is lovely and very mature and responsible for her age. You both are great parents and I enjoy that about you the most. I am excited watching for each video. Have a wonderful week.

The return of Doug The Demolisher! Ashley made quick work of that debris, and I learned today, you should not use a diaper to fix a hole in dry wall, who knew. 😅

So happy to hear you brought your own music back! I have missed it!

Beast mode Doug! Wow! Watching you destroy those rooms was very therapeutic. I think its weird they had a ceiling fan in that small room. I'm surprise how easy that floor and drywall came down. I can't wait to see more. Have a great day!

America's hardest working family.

When you start tearing your rooms to pieces it is really interesting to see what’s what , and to hear your explanations and plans for what’s coming next . I love the way you work . So many workers throw stuff about making a frightful mess , and deal with it at the end . A roofer did the house next to us and because they worked on the roof and didn’t need to clear debris on the ground , they left it on the ground squishing the garden and broadcasting black stuff and nails everywhere for quite a long time . Personally I can’t think straight with mess everywhere . Your orderly work procedures are a pleasure to watch .

I absolutely love watching y’all work so well together !!! And teaching your children a work ethic!!!

You two make a heck of a team! You both work so hard, and it’s clear that you appreciate each other. I love this channel so much! You guys are so inspiring!! ❤️

You are literally "movers and shakers." This seems so much cleaner and more organized. Stay safe.

whether it is cleaning up demolition debris or clearing the land, Ashley is relentless until it is finished.

We need to credit the big sister for keeping her brother busy. It is not easy. I had to take care my brother, my sister and two nephews. Didn't like it but I did it, and when I got married had just one child.

Wow that was fast Dough & clean up was awesome Ashley.. can't wait til it starts to coming together I know it will be amazing.

Been missing the original music score, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I'm such a sentimental fool... Wait! Loving the new music too. Maybe it's the excitement of it all🌱

Wow wow wow.... Doug you are a one man demolition . Like a super hero. Ashley you have the worst you are so tiny and what a powerhouse. I got tired just watching the 2 of you. You have made huge progress I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to see the next one... Hugs

I'm happy that you plan to re use the wood from the walls and the ceiling! I've said it before but... we did the same thing. Ran it through a planer and then sealed it with paste wax. The results are beautiful! Every one that comes to our house are blown away with the results. The labor was a little intense but the cost was so low. Sometimes it's easier to come up with time than it is to come up with cash!

And so it begins 😁😁😁😁 I am soooo excited. You have no idea how much your videos give me happiness. Thank you for sharing, you are both such an inspiration. Hardest working couple EVER!

I am so happy for you! Moving to Florida was a great thing for Ashley's depression. Sunshine and hard work are the perfect thing for her!

All is right with my world again! You are back DIYing love it all :)

You and Ashley did a lot of work. You have been our favorite you tube since I found you when you lived in the single wide

The master suite is going to be great!

OMG You guys worked so hard.. Phew... I am still blown away how quickly you got into the reno... wasting no time...

You should leave the ceilings vaulted in your master suite through out.

And here we go once again! Doug, you have perfected your demolition technique aka your karate kick. Lol! Looking forward to the adventure. From dinosaur cards to a diaper in patch repair, who knows what will be next. Maverick's Dada, can you see me? was a favorite, besides the kick. You both have a way of turning rough canvases into a beautiful painting. Til next time! 😃😃

The wood is cyprus, its termite proof. and like gold just stain it white

You got an amazing amount of work done!

My heart goes out to you and to Ashley. I understand the reason why you move to Florida but you had put so much work into your last home and Now you are starting all over again. I wish I was there to help you. I live in Central Florida but at this point in time in my life I’m too old to do anything anymore but my prayers go with you guys.

Yes, the Demolition phase is my favorite part! Always very therapeutic to watch the old grimy stuff removed. Looking forward to seeing the new rooms put in place. You both are such hard workers, wish I had just a quarter of that energy. Another great video guys! 👍

Such a satisfying video! You & Ashley are a great team! So happy that the most of the areas look good & you are able to reuse the wood for the new framing! Take your time, like you said, & stay safe! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️

Maverick is looking more and more like a mini Doug all the time. You can tell how humid it is there by all the wilted fan blades LOL!

Demolition Doug - coming through the wall - literally! 👊🏼🦶🏼👊🏼 🤣🤣🤣

Doug and Ashley you are working hard as you usually do. Just a small piece of advice, I know today young people think ceiling fans are ugly and they tend to take them out and get rid of them. If you can keep them and refurbish them or buy new ones, they are a necessity in the Southern states, for comfort and to be a wise stewart of your finances, it will keep your utility bill low. Funny thing about the diaper, they take years to biodegrade and work as a quick cheap fix to plug something.

Wow wow wow, this is incredible to watch. Ashley you have the worksite so tidy . Excellent! Doug your erasing a bad floor plan and getting to see the bones of your house. When this is done it will be be fresh and clean and renewed!! Omg so much fun to watch. Are you guys sleeping comfortably ? Are you in the house or the bus? I don’t know how y’all are handling heat but you look well ,we have heat advisories every day now. Won’t be long till your sleeping in a fresh cool house. Thanks for sharing your project. ❤️❤️❤️

Ooooh I love your reno videos! This house is going to be given the best facelift! Can't wait for it to be complete though

"Can you see me, Dada?" SO CUTE!!

Doug and Ashley, you both are so very thorough with whatever project you undertake, it is like you are rebuilding this wonderful home inside out! Wonderful video!

You all need an extra scoop of ice cream, that is hard work,both ripping out and cleaning up. From Central FL.GOD BLESS

Ashley you should wear a mask as well 🌷

That Diaper Patch is one of the books....Great Day!

Why is watching Doug do demolition so mesmerizing? You rock!!

Demolition Doug at it again! Glad you will be saving the wood from the living room walls. Ashley, for any more tear outs/demolition, put some tarps on the ground to catch all the small debris. You have the part of the job that is most hated - cleanup! Ughhh! Have y'all thought about buying a small shipping container and using it, temporarily, for storage? (When you're done, you can probably sell it back to the company you bought it from or sell it on eBay or Craigslist. Also, is there a Habitat ReStore or Goodwill anywhere nearby? They would have loved to have gotten that pedestal sink and maybe that shower unit if y'all are not keeping it. Good work today, you two - on the demo and the cleanup. Great seeing Belle and Maverick.

I am thankful I do not have to renovate anything! I do enjoy 😉 watching your hard work though! God bless y’all abundantly!

On your way! It does look good. I hope it goes smooth for you. Not alot of headahes. Ashley the trooper. She's a worker. Love ya all. Granny

The phrase “You really have your work cut out for you” doesn’t begin to describe this project! I’m excited to see how you finish this one! 🏡

Holy heck! When you said total gut you weren’t joking. Great watching you working on the new house. It will be awesome

So happy you're keeping the wood; it's old-growth heart pine. You'd never be able to replace it. Oh how I wish I could buy a home like the one you got!!!

Wow! A two person wrecking crew. Poor Ashley! She works just as hard as Doug. You two are making progress and i know the end result will be quality. I'm surprised no major critter issues in the crawl space and attic. Blessings

So hard not to jump ahead and see the reveal but I’m here for all of it! So satisfying doing demo.

I was relieved to hear you were saving the wood to re-purpose. I agree it was dark and a bit too much. I can't wait to see how it will be transformed under your talent.

You made that look so easy. Ashley works so hard and does such a great job. You two are so amazing.

I hope you’ll vault the ceilings, will make it all look so much more open and spacious. Amazing job so far.

Ashley, you look so much more at peace. I am hoping this venture will be a positive one for all four of you. You and Doug do such amazing work.

WOW you guys don’t muck around. Great team effort. Exciting times ahead. Good luck xx

Y’all are very smart and talented just love y’all’s videos from Tony here In Florida

Make sure you bring that old house up to current code because you are in zone II I think. You might try to do zone III, if possible, for even better protection. If you're doing a new roof, only do it in the winter dry season. I can't wait for your next episode. You guys are my favorite KZfaq channel.

It must be so satisfying and cathartic to be able to demolish a space like that, especially knowing it is not up to standard and you can take out your frustration on inanimate objects

Your dedication and hard work is amazing!

I thought you would just prime and paint this but putting up new sheetrock is the best way to go.

You two are unbeatable!!

That breathing apparatus is the best investment you've made in all your re-do's!! Ashley is a beast. Great job guys💪

Wow When you look up "No Fear" in the dictionary, there is a picture of Doug and Ashley!!!

You two are terrific renovating america one house at a time! Thks
