Wasps do not play! They can sting you many times over and all their friends will join in! Soapy water does well and swatting them when they are chilly also does well, if you have a can of compressed air that can work too. I have a rule, if you are outside I leave you alone, if you come into my house I don’t. And I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day Ashley. 👍🏼❤️

Happy Mother's Day Ashley! You are admired and respected more than I believe you realize.

The screaming Doug was seriously funny, thanks for the chuckle. :) .

Thanks for not editing out the wasp experience - I never laughed so hard in my life. (So...Doug's a screamer, is he? That is so funny...🤣). Reminds me of years ago at a friend's place in Missouri. They had a wasp problem also - in a tiny old smokehouse that sat right next to the main house. Anyone who walked close to it would get attacked. My friend latched onto a pest control sprayer and filled it with kerosene. It worked great, only it was a matter of "shoot-and-run" then going back and doing it again until they were finished. He got stung a few times, so he gave the job to me. Of course, I was too quick for them, and so I survived to tell the tale to younger generations. You probably won't want to use the kerosene method, and I have no other suggestions. I used what worked and didn't bother to ponder other options. But I thought you might like the story. Letting them alone for the time being is a wise thing to do until you can formulate a plan. But don't wait too long - if they decide to pack up and move, it may be to a more private place and you might not find them. "Keep your friends close, but your adversaries even closer."

LOL! Thanks for the laugh, Doug! But really, you can't let them finish building there. I take a lighter to the nest and they fly away to build elsewhere. Go ahead and give them their eviction notice before they try to give you one. 😊

Doug, your screaming was priceless!! 🤣 Happy Mother's Day Ashley!

Bees I respect, wasps I don’t! Zap’em with the wasp spray!

Sorry Doug, I laughed when you screamed. Can I say that I just love how you make Ashly laugh.

That Homer Simpson scream was exactly what I needed this morning! Thank you. Way to go Ashley for keeping it real!

Finding the wasps nest was hilarious!😂 I laughed so hard!

You might want to consider a ceiling fan in the screened in room. It’s a very southern thing to do. It really helps to circulate what little breeze you get in the summer. Also, you keep on inspiring me to get things done around my house, so thank you!! Keep up the great work.

Doug must have a sense of humor if he left his wasp encounter in the video. I can relate.

Lol, loved the scream. We can all relate. The best time to remove wasp nests is at night when they are inactive. If you leave it, it will continue to grow and get enormous.

I am severely allergic to wasps. I literally carry a can of wasp spray with me whenever I go outside. Can’t afford an epipen. Can’t run because I’m 61. We have a ridiculous number of wasps in Missouri. Last year they invaded my shop and I couldn’t go in until my son got rid of them. I’m glad you didn’t get stung. Thanks for the video.

Happy Mother's Day Ashley. You are a great mother! Doug, at night put a jar over that wasp nest and gentle ease a piece of cardboard between mouth of jar and ceiling. Once it has fallen into jar, keep cardboard over the jar mouth. Take covered jar, nest, and wasps to a tree far away from your house. Gently nestle jar in the tree limbs. Take cardboard off and run like heck. You haven't killed them or destroyed their hard word. You have relocated them.

The scream when the wasps came down...raised my respect level for you immensely....You could have cut that out but you didn't..you trusted us viewers like we were close friends..

Still laughing at Doug screaming like a little girl! Thank you for keeping that in - lol. You guys are doing amazing work!

I forgot to comment on your last video so here goes. Those haters are very troubled people. And it seems that it's just gotten worse in the last 5-6 years. Please know Ashley, you guys are soo above the curve than most people. My spiritual belief system tells me that both you and Doug are very old souls and most likely soul mates. I think the haters are simply jealous of you, your beautiful family, and your amazing accomplishments. Ashley, you and Doug have it figured out, most people never figure it out. Blessings to you from Oregon.

Thanks for leaving the "wasp attack" in Ashley, I would have been rolling on the floor laughing! You'll have to get rid of them Doug, because they WILL attack you when you least expect it. Plus more will come if you don't get rid of the nest. Happy Mothers Day Ashley!

Loved the man scream! LOL! Actually wasps are worthy of a good scream!

Oh, wasps… i am allergic to them. I won’t leave them in or even outside on the house. At dusk, when they are not active place a thick plastic bag around the nest, remove the nest and keep the bag closed. You can take the bag into the woods and leave it open, the wasps will find their way out and make a new nest. Happy Mother’s Day, Ashley! Be happy with your beautiful family and ignore the trolls!

Looooolllll!!! Sorry Doug but that was hysterical!! Ashley, “Why do you scream like that?!” LMBO!!!! I love you guys! Thank you!

Dont leave the wasp nest, it will only get bigger and worse. Keep up the good work

Doug, they are paper wasps and they sting!!!!!! At night, knock the nest down, they will relocate. Leaving it up, you will find they increase daily as more hatch out. Plus they sting multiple times. Ashley, sitting at the computer, getting up and down, will be seen as a threat. Getting stung by them is not a joke, they hurt.

Happy Mothers Days Ashley!!! Let Doug know that wasp nest should come down. The wasps will make it bigger if they can, and as it gets bigger they will get aggressive. Spray it it night, then knock it down the next night. And check the furniture you have stored in there also. We have found those kind of wasp nests on the bottom of our lawn chairs and tables before.

You need to remove those wasps, they will take over your porch and the nest will get bigger and bigger. You can relocate them in your yard. Where you air filter mask you wear and long sleeves and gloves. Good luck. Happy Mother’s Day Ashley.

Omg..ive had to rewatch dougs screaming from the bees 🐝 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so funny 😆 🤣

That wasps nest is just getting started. Wait until dark and pick your plan. Wasps are not endangered and can be very aggressive. You can knock down into a bucket if you want them to live. Just chuck the nest outside far from the house

Got some work done, found wasp nest, got buzzed and screamed like a girl lol, didn''t get stung...................priceless :)) Hi kids!. Stay cool!!

The bubble foil is such a great idea for that porch area. I wouldn't have thought of that. Happy Mother's Day, Ashley. Looks like the kids are having fun.

Happy mother's day Ashley. Doug I love that you screamed when the bug went after you. Your children will never forget that about you. Nice haircut.

That scream was everything 😂😂😂 Happy Mother’s Day Ashley.

you are being kind to those bees...I had some building a nest on my back porch...I didn't want to kill them, but I didn't want them building where they were. I encouraged them to leave-made a spray of peppermint oil and water and kept spraying the area and they soon moved on.

Hey Doug, I am totally with you on the wasps - I scream and run too!

Happy Mother’s Day, Ashley! I think you’re an amazing mom and wife. I admire what you’re doing and your bravery and generosity in sharing your life with us. ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day Ashley !! Doug, you made my day !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m so sorry but I laughed out loud when you squealed at the wasps. I know they hurt real bad when they sting but it was just so funny to hear you squeal. I am so glad you left it in the video. I am also glad that you didn’t get stung by them. Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, Ashley.

Great idea to put up that insulation. Get some spray to kill those wasps, being stung by them is very painful and for sure you don’t want the kids stung. Happy Mothers’s Day Ashley!

Some folks are very allergic to stings, and keep an epinephrine pin on hand, in case. A reaction can be deadly. Don’t allow them to stay, there will be more, and the nest will grow bigger. Stay safe, we enjoy watching your channel. Happy Mother’s Day!

I appreciate the way you guys approach and solve problems. You make very good use of your skills and resources. I enjoy your channel and look forward to each posting. I admire your commitment to each other and to your children. Take some time to enjoy the day together...you have earned it.

I thought that was Ash screaming 🤣 just kidding you two.

You need to get rid of that nest Doug. It is a hazzard for your family if they stay there. It is still small they will find a nother place.

I would have screamed too Doug. Glad the bubble barrier is helping 😊

The best thing to do Doug is suit / glove up, everybody out and jar that nest and remove otherwise it will get bigger and you guys won't be able to be in there .... nothing funny about wasp stings ... I would have screamed too 😂

Just a little old man advise. Had a red wasp nest by my back garage door. They stung my 2 year old grandson and then me. The war was on. Took me a few days because they were in between the rock and wall. Get them gone now before the nest gets bigger. I have seen them the size of a large pizza.

Oh that was so funny with Doug screaming..... Made me laugh out loud. Ashley just calm and cool. Haha. Glad that Doug wasn't stung. Still funny though.

Love the "girl cry" we all done that bro lmao!!!

Yup time screen in that porch. Get rid of those wasps when they are tucked in at night. You can get spray that will shoot from 20 + feet away. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who are following along this channel. Especially Ashley! 🥰🌻🫂

The scream was epic!

Happy Mother's Day Ashley! Ooh wasps! 😰 Yikes! That nest will grow & grow...I'd evict them if they're not paying rent! 😉

Happy Mother’s Day, Ashley. Doug, if you want to get rid of the wasp nest and it’s tenants, get a spray bottle and put water in it half way next, add dish detergent and shake it a little until sudsy. Now, seat your sprayer on “ stream” and spray the nest enough to soak it. If there are tenants home spray them too. Believe it or not, the soap kills them. ( I have seen this work on a fence that had one and this is what the man used to get rid of them. )

Well that was hilarious 😂 Doug made my day screaming. I spilled my tea lol 🤭

Happy Mother's day Ashley!! ❤❤

Happy Mother's Day. Hope you have a great day. That room i would put a ceiling fan in it. That would help too

Happy Mother's Day Ashley. y'all should consider evicting the wasps. they are very mean! 🙏🏻❤️👍🏻😃

My wife and I just watched the last three videos today and we actually cheered Doug’s comments about the negative comments. We watch your videos as entertainment. We are always amazed by your skills and perspective. Additionally, we have always enjoyed the fun new editing technics that Ashley uses. I still chuckle when I remember watching Doug use his circular saw while hearing a traditional hand saw. You Folks Rock!

Doug’s wasp moment - KZfaq/TV gold.

If you wait until it’s dark you can knock the wasp down they don’t fly at night, I’ve been knocking them down after dark for 60 years and they will not fly after dark

Oh my goodness!! Doug, you gave me a good Mother’s Day gift. Laughter is the best. Those wasps are HUGE. I agree with the group here. Take it down. I’m not sure the what the best method would be. But being gone would make me the happiest. Happy Mother’s Day Ashley! Nice haircut job on Doug.

Doug...you're never gonna live that screaming down buddy lol...but I feel ya..I've been stung by wasp plenty of times and I've screamed like that myself. You may want to go ahead and knock the nest down so none of you get stung. Also...I would think about getting a small window air-conditioner for that room for the time being.....Florida summers can be brutal.

Happy Mother’s Day Ms. Ashley! Mr. Doug you floored me with the yelps! 🤣🤣🤣 Now you reminded me of Stan Laurel!

Good thinking. Also you might consider a ceiling fan. They work great.

Happy Mother’s Day Ashley..Doug I’d be screaming too if wasps swarmed my head..

That scream running from them wasps 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love your you tube channel. I very seldom comment but I wanted you to know that. I watch others as well and they have commented as you did yesterday about those who negatively feedback. Often referred to as haters. I notice they are losing patience with those comments and blocking the haters instead. I've learned a lot watching your channel can't understand the critics it's your house(s). I say keep being you.. your family is enjoyable.

Happy Mothers Day Ashley!!!!!!!!! One note on the "bees". They are wasps-not bees-and they are not in any trouble as far as their species is concerned. They are basically angry nasty ants. Just get some black flag (in the BLACK can) and "get 'er done".

Don't feel bad about screaming Doug, my husband does the same thing when it comes to wasps and hornets! He hates them

Happy Mothers Day Ashly! Better remove the wasp soon before the nest populates!

I'm allergic to wasps so I understand. :-D I've learned though that dawn dish soap with a little water, sprayed onto the nest and wasps kills them quickly and is friendly to you and your lungs. Good luck.

It’s been my experience that wasp nest only get bigger and bigger with a lot more wasps and it gets harder to get rid of them as they become more aggressive. Best to do it now before they make themselves at home. Love your videos!

You should definitely remove the wasp nest. We battle with them from May through October and they are aggressive. Definitely not fun to get stung by a red wasp. Keep up the good work on the house.

The wasps will all be tucked in for the night at dusk. Put a plastic bag over that nest and use a spatula, a stick or anything like that to scrape the nest off the ceiling and into the bag. Close it and take it off somewhere to dump it. Those wasps will hurt if they sting and they ll keep living in it year round.

Happy Mother’s Day Ashley. I hope you had a great day yesterday. ❤️

You could knock the wasp nest down after dark. I’m pretty sure they will continue to build till you have a serious nest. Wow! Caterpillars galore. The shinny bubble layer is a fabulous idea. I suspect you will really love that area screened in during the rainy season. You might even like a ceiling fan out there later.

exactly how i sound running from those things lol

I admire how hard you work for your family. When your home is finished I hope I am still here. I am 87 years old and my husband always did so much work on our homes. You have a special supportive wife in Ashley. She helps in any way she. can. What a team! Beautiful family.

Lol doug we have wasps all the time. We wait till evening when they are all in the hive and get wasp killer.

Loved "you knock it down"...I agree with you 100% Doug 😅 However...you need to get rid of the wasps and the next...left unattended they will take over 👍

This is Emiley Rivera. Changed my profile on KZfaq. Also get rid of the wasp 🐝 nest. I had one in my back yard last year and it was huge and I could not go to the back yard. The weeds in the yard got massive and I had to wait for the winter so they could abandon it. Also they will attack you or the kids. Don’t listen to people dumb comments you are living in a great place. Ashley you seem really happy and I am glad for you. That scream Doug did was funny. We woman are more brave then me. 😂. Happy Mother’s Day.

"What is wrong with you",🤣😂🤣 in truth, I think MOST people would have reacted the same way, well all but the part about asking your wife to knock it down and not finishing the job.😂 I'm not laughing at you, well I guess I am, but I would be laughing regardless of who it was! By the way, Happy Mothers Day Ashley😉🐛💐

Perfect we used it in an attic cooled down the house by 10 degrees.

That was the most unexpected response out of you doug lol...I had to rewatch it so see if I really heard you scream like that... it was awesome

Happy mother's day. I love your relationship with wife. You have great kids. Love your show. Thank you.

Ashley, you are a beautiful mom to your 2 children. Have a great Mother’s Day.

Little wasp nests become BIG nest. Much easier to remove too. I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave it. They’ll always be bothering when you are sitting on the porch. 🤗❤️

Thanks for NOT editing the scream. Your videos are always entertaining! Love watching all your family.

Oh my gosh, Doug had me laughing so hard!😆 Nice job Ashley on Doug's haircut!!

I'd scream, too!!! So would my husband. No worries, it's caused by being too close to that buzzing... a self preservation reaction. No one wants to get stung by those guys. I could swear I saw one flying close at the start of the video. I've seen that yellow jackets will come after you relentlessly. I do not know if wasps will do the same when their nests get disturbed. When the stinging bugs are gone & you are done with screening in the porch, it will be a lovely, cool, & safe place for you all. (Nice job on the haircut, Ashley) Thanks for sharing your days

Happy Mother’s Day Ashley! 👩‍👧‍👦💐Welcome to the South and all the critters and bugs. The wasps are inactive at night so that it the best time to spray them or relocate them. You can shoot wasp spray from 25’ away or if you are more courageous you can remove a starter nest by putting a container over it, then slide a knife or something to disconnect the nest attach point from the ceiling then slide in some metal and take the container far away from the house. You really don’t want to wait too long or soon you will have a huge nest. The other thing to watch out for are fire ants and ground bees/yellow jackets, all will swarm you sting and bite until you have to go to the hospital, they are no joke. Also you might want to look up the furry caterpillar varieties I’m almost certain one of them has a poisonous bite. Best wishes guys❤️

Hahaha that scream. Love how Ash said why you scream like that. Me I would have got the wasp spray out lol.

The potty seat on the wall really finishes it off. 🤣😜🤪 Happy Mother’s Day, Ashley!

Hearing you scream gave me the best chuckle...I was not expecting that! I replayed it twice for a second giggle! Glad you're cooler!

I laughed so hard at the wasp segment. I have 100% been on both sides of that conversation. That said I'm not a fan of cohabitating with wasps, the nest would have to go.

Get rid of the nest…early in the morning when they are docile. Spray with wasp killer and take it down. We have to deal with wasp nests every year and the bigger the nest, the more aggressive they become when you want to get rid of it. Their bites are nasty!

🤣🤣🤣 I’m sorry but I had to rewatch that. That was me totally. I wouldn’t be in the room. I love Ashley’s response. So hilarious. Made my day!!

Hi Doug and Ashley! Say Doug, go and knock that nest down at night. They become quite at night. If you don't, they will make a huge nest and no one will be able to go on the porch. Believe me, we had a horrible time going out the front door of our home becuz they built a nest under the siding by the front door. Happy Mothers Day Ashley! 🥀🌺🌷💐

Happy Mother’s Day 👩 Ashly!! By the way that was funny 😆 scream 😱 lol 😝 jajajaj

Doug and Ashley: This comment is misplaced---it applies to your last video about nasty commenters, but I couldn't get the comment section to load, so I'm putting my comment about that situation here. I follow a lot of blogs and one I really enjoy has been around for many many years. She often speaks about this issue and she has a COOKING channel--go figure!.. One day recently, she said in one hour she blocked/deleted over 500 hateful comments. But that's not the first time I've heard her say something like that. It goes without saying..."Why do people act like that?" But, beyond that question, I always wonder how ordinary, people, without a personal agenda or bone to pick , who innocently just enjoy documenting things they are interested in, put up with that crap? IS IT WORTH IT? All of you you tubers talk about the wonderful subscriber family you build and how meaningful it is. Last week, this lady had a medical emergency of some sort and, thank God, she is okay. The word 'stroke' came up from her ER visit. Thankfully, it was ruled out. She pays an assistant just to pick off these haters/trolls, but still does some herself. You and your family provide valuable, enjoyable , decent content that so many of us enjoy. Still, I wish there were some way for you to do this without paying this ridiculous price. It's almost sickening to know these people who do this count on 'hiding' and could easily skip your video if they disagree with you. Instead, they forge ahead behind their 'shield' and brazenly write their reputation for being a low life. I wish you and your family all the best. If I were Ashley, I think at the first inkling I was reading some whack job, I'd stop , not read any further than my 'Delete/Ban' button. Your home is fantastic because you folks are professionals and artisans!!! God bless.

I would recommend insulating the ceiling even though you don't plan on making it conditioned space. I (in north Georgia) insulated (r19) the ceiling over my attached garage and it made a world of difference. The temperature never drops below freezing in the winter (single digits outside) and is bearable in the summer. The walls and aluminum garage door are not insulated.

A very smart move with that bubble foil radiant heat barrier. I know at least one youtube vlogger uses it on all his builds. He has for years and he has had great results. Check out his channel. Boss of the Swamp.
