These are very important videos for homeowners to see. This is the reality of homeownership

@deefaye7336 Месяц назад

Oh man, what a "deluge" of issues. Hard to imagine coping with it all but you guys with your faith, humor and skills are so inspiring. Prayers and cheers!

@twilde3754 Месяц назад

The good side of all the work -- when you go to sell it, you have these vids as proof the work was done well!

@Author_ElizabethAton Месяц назад

You’re both handling this spat of disasters gracefully. It’s not easy with all the stressors. Bravo!

@RitaVernoy Месяц назад

I so glad you discovered the mold. God works in mysterious ways! Praying for you.

@tuesdaycharlie159 Месяц назад

I've even read Dr Jill Crista Breaking the Mold, apparently most houses do have some and in vulnerable people it can cause ulcerative colitis. And other autoimmunity. It's a shame most people would never ever suspect.

Andrea I can just see you with a concrete saw fixing the drain issue by yourself. Installing French drains and directing water to the street. Everyone needs downspout extenders that roll out and take water away from your house. It's a Lowe's trip. Flooring is beautiful. Dang base molding has really gone up in price. Everything looks good. Hope your insurance will come thru with some help. Have a great weekend.

@shellylucas2835 Месяц назад

Love your faith! Praying for you and for God to be glorified through this trial!

@masonedwards Месяц назад

I’m glad that you guys found out about the issues before it chronically affected your health, so silver linings. The new floors look beautiful. I can’t wait to see the rest of the bathroom makeover.

@Bimmerfan_e36 Месяц назад

You guys are extremely courageous for taking these big set backs in your stride. I hope your issues are solved soon and that insurance takes care of you. Kudos on the great flooring.

@clairewright8153 Месяц назад

I know they say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, but sometimes it’s a lesson you could really do without. Your floors look great as do the baseboards. Love the extra wide planks. Glad you pick up on the mold issues before it really impacted your health. Stay well and take care.

@lolaottinger3038 Месяц назад

If it makes y’all feel any better, after the Northridge Quake, people on the street behind us and three door down…their house was a total loss. Our damage, a candelabra sitting on our ebony piano fell over, nicked the piano finish and broke 2 or 3 tea light holders. I know y’all are grateful to have good insurance! We had water damage twice, once literally the night I had told my husband that after I picked up a small piece of furniture the next day we would be finished with our remodel. That same night the hose on the dishwasher broke and the next morning as hubs was on the way to make coffee, he started treading water about ten feet into our 50’ hallway. We’d had floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookcases built on top of carpet! No need to say more, other than I really feel bad for you, and amazed at how you both keep smiling. I shed a lot of tears over our indoor flood. 🙏🏻

@peggykhiev2884 Месяц назад

God’s always got our back! Thank you for saying it out loud on video, it’s a huge blessing. Amen!

This is why moving is hard for me, but I love moving! The question: will this home make me ill. 😭 for those that live in homes that help keep them healthy. You are blessed more than you may know!

@gingerdunn6590 Месяц назад

We have a mold issue in our main bathroom were getting that taken care of. But my bedroom shares a wall with the bathroom. Now we are having to replace all the sheetrock on that wall in my bedroom . So now I'm sleeping in the living room on an air bed luckily I know how to put up sheetrock. My son is putting the sheetrock I'm taping it and mudding it . Next is going to be new floors . I know what you are going through except that you have young children . Mine are all grown . I have 4 3 girls and 1boy he is the youngest . Good Luck . I hope you get all the drainage problems fixed . Prayers and Love 💞 From Oklahoma

@francinesexton8266 Месяц назад

WOW! So many things are happening to people. Sorry to hear all this for you both. You are very talented and strong. Hang in there you guys. You’ll get through it.

@chelseygarrett4221 Месяц назад

You guys are definitely going to need some flood insurance. 😭 I have to ask my husband if we have it because our basement floods every time it rains.

@deborahthatsme Месяц назад

Well in the upside is the small leak helped find the mold-imagine how much worse that could have been for not only your home but your health! I pray God continues to bless, guide and help provide for you during this stressful crazy time! 🙏😊❤

@Rudelherz Месяц назад

As much as I usually would feel incredibly sorry for anyone this had happened to, you guys will just create another miracle and are a tremendous example to our generation and the ones to come, for how and what to do when bad things happen. Your children are very lucky to have you both as parents and I congratulate you for all the hard work and great mindset you show like it was a normal thing. I can only learn from you, in every way, thank you ❤ (I still felt for you 😢😅)

@jaynedavies2757 Месяц назад

you need to get that water pipe directed into the street drainage pronto, or the nearest foul water drainage system, or it will never dry out.

@angelarthrasher Месяц назад

I had to go to Lowe's the other day and your jingle stuck in my head while driving there!!! Love how in the bloopers Andrea was filming you w/ camera in your face and you were like ....ok that's enough....but you have the cam in her face like allllllllllllllllllllllllll the time and she is not that crazy about it... :) but glad you vlog..such fun vids!

@Sunbeam4291 Месяц назад

Wow you gys, when it rains it really pores. What alot of serious issues and expenses. Keep well and hang in there.

@dianehartt1436 Месяц назад

@megsgant9892 Месяц назад

So true! God really does take the ashes and return them with something beautiful! Your account really does show a journey of testimonies 🙌🏼

@LavenderDaisies Месяц назад

I sure feel for you. We have had several floods in our basement and mold found once. It really does turn into such a hassle. The fear of insurance not covering it is terrifying. I will keep your family in my prayers. I loved Deans perspective at the end of the video when he said, that “God always has a plan”. I admire your faith and perspective and for growing closer throughout all these trials. They will make you a stronger couple if you let them. And from what I see, you sure are. Wishing you all the success and that things will go your way from here on out, so you can get all these projects wrapped up to your Liking. And--I absolutely love the new flooring. The wider planks, the color the LVP, all of it. It’s perfect with your decor. I’m so glad you guys are really happy with it too. Keep your heads up. Soon, you’ll be on the other side looking back and you’ll be so thankful with how well you’ve handled everything! YOU’VE GOT THIS!!

You guys are wonderful the way you handle all your stress! May God bless your family! You have a beautiful home

@agohl85 Месяц назад

How on earth did that exterior water issue pass inspection? That's a major bummer. I've lived through a couple of those kinds of issues. They are not fun or cheap to fix.

@talisacopeland1767 Месяц назад

Sadly those issues go undetected unless you tear up walls and Floors and there's a rain😮😢

@agohl85 Месяц назад

@@talisacopeland1767 I think I'm just used to inspections in an area that is frequently hit with hurricanes. Our inspector on the house we bought about 5ish years ago pointed out every single spot in the house that couple potentially cause issues like that even if he didn't find anything because its such a risk where we live.

@user-zd3jr9ur7l Месяц назад

Guys all that work, I would not be able to talk to anyone after moving that flooring in ur house, impressed with ur positive attitude…😮😅

@dkquick72 Месяц назад

I just installed Flooret LVP in my bedroom and I LOVE it! The quality is so much better than anything I could find at the big box stores and the wider planks made for easier/faster install.

@bebetjones5551 Месяц назад

Floors look fabulous! Lots of work and mess - stressful, but you all are handling it and praying the insurance covers as much as possible!!!

Finding the mold was a blessing. God will provide the way through all of this 🙏🏻. Your faith is inspiring ❤

@eviekaydesigns6618 Месяц назад

If I don’t hear the Lowe’s song in every one of your videos, is it even a DIY? I’m thinking I’ll remember that jingle for the rest of my life just like old commercials from the early 1990s…. “A Lowe’s trip!”

@cathysnyder4786 Месяц назад

We so enjoy watching you Kiddos - your skill is amazing! I am going to write Lowes a letter and encourage your other followers to back me up- they NEED to sponsor y'all! We sing the Lowes song all the time. Y'all are the family I would send something to help on patron should you want to go that route to get through this crisis. Hope you are feeling better soon.

@barbb.7028 Месяц назад

Your new floors are so beautiful. What a lot of work moving furniture and flooring boxes. I love your attitude that maybe God has a better plan for your home than you know of. I hope you are able to get the mold situation fixed without it costing you so much. Take care.

I’m hopeful that Andrea’s autoimmune issues will flare up less now that she isn’t constantly breathing in mold!

@BrittanyEdwards-zi9vl Месяц назад

This video is a rollercoaster of emotions-I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry at the mishaps! But amidst the chaos, there are valuable lessons about the reality of DIY projects, especially on a budget. It's reassuring to see the creators persevere through setbacks, reminding viewers that even the messiest renovations can turn out beautifully in the end.

@robertkerby2581 Месяц назад

I am sad that this happened to ya'll, but glad that it will get resolved and ya'll will be safe; happy; and healthy! I love your new floors and not be happier for you and your family! As a homeowner whom is a big DIYer, I really enjoy watching your inspirational videos! Well done ya'll!

@joyceweaber4934 Месяц назад

Y'all are so upbeat and positive and seem to be taking all this in stride. It's good you have family and friends supporting you to keep you going! There are a bunch of us who only know you from following you here on RU-vid who are ready to support you, as well. Please let us know how we can help you!! I've been watching you since 2020 and share your page with everyone I know. You've taught me so much and I adore you both! And yep, my friends and I ALWAYS sing the Lowe's trip song when we go there. 😅

@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi Месяц назад

OOOHHHH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!.......If I EVER need encouragement when life storms come my way, I will for sure watch THIS video...AND you even had time to make " A LOWE'S TRIP" 99 plus times. The part where she says.....don't bang anything it's coming out of your paycheck...WHAT PAYCHECK!!!!, all the house issues has "DRAINED" him dry (PUN INTENDED)...LOL. I ABSOLUELTY love watching you two, ESPECIALLY of course Dean...he keeps me LAUGHING. Imitating the child in the car seat was a hoot. Let me tell you, you two are MORE THAN CONQUERORS. God's got you, because He saw this BEFORE it happened and what starts out to be bad, God WILL turn it around for your good. It will ALL be "WORTH" the frustration in the end, because the value of the home will increase. Thank you soooo much for sharing and showing us your real life. Blessings to both of you.

The whole time that your video was playing, I was clutching my throat! We went through the very same, Le Pew~a name we all came up with after massive mold incident! I had been coughing for about 7-8 months! It was a mess! My kids were safe, Thank God!!! They stayed at the other side of our home. The Lord provides!!! (Every Single Day Is A Lowe's Trip!!! Hahahahahaha!) I love drinking coffee & watching you!!!

@lindak7499 Месяц назад

I'm soooo sorry you are having these home issues. I have to say that it sounds like you have GREAT homeowners insurance. Please check with your doctor and your pediatrician regarding chest x-rays just to be safe. Looking forward to the bathroom remodel.

@Bmoore126 Месяц назад

Whoa! That's alot. I'm surprise the home inspector didn't point that issue with the add on and gutter issue. God gotcha you❤

@lindseymoon4354 Месяц назад

"Your "test" will be your testimony, Your "mess" will become your message!" Thank you for sharing your lives with us and showing us its not all rainbows and butterflies. This is the reality of home-ownership! We bought a house 2 years ago and found the last owner LOVED to quick fix (band-aids) instead of the best/correct fix. UGH! Thankfully my husband is in construction and I love design.

@fionaschiffl8065 Месяц назад

I hope the next couple of weeks go smoothly for the whole family. It’s so nice to see you both look after each other through the ups and downs and that you can find time to laugh together. ❤

@evehsv5556 Месяц назад

Thank goodness you found the mold yuk. Ashame you had to replace the entire floor but it looks updated and fresh now and it’s really nice. Luckily you saved some money painting the face boards yourself. Drainage is so dang expensive it costs a lot and it doesn’t look one iota different it is such a pain but unfortunately it is a necessity. Hopefully you don’t get anymore surprises guys. TFS.😊

Your new floors look amazing!! I have shared your link with my two children who are in the process of building new homes :) Blessings to you and your family.

@maryd4864 Месяц назад

I don't know what to say..WOW! A plethora of issues and I am so sorry you had to ruin the beautiful rooms you have already remodeled, yet this is good that you found out all the issues and can get them fixed. Dean is right- God has a better plan for you, and for all of us and we all will get through our trials. Thank goodness you guys are still young and agile to take on all this work! God Bless!

@Jessica-xx7nt Месяц назад

I know it probably doesn’t feel like it with the expense and the exposure to it up to now, but finding that mold is a major blessing. You could have gone years never knowing it was there and you or the little ones could have eventually gotten sick. God bless you and keep you safe 🌸

@paulaclark6290 Месяц назад

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you got new floors! You've mentioned a few times that you wish you had installed water-resistant floors in the first place, so while this was obviously a huge pain, in the long run you got what you wanted 👍. So glad you found the mold as well. If you tear up some of the concrete near the house, would you consider putting in some flower beds next to the house to help with the drainage and add some greenery? And BTW what happened with your Crate and Barrel leather chairs? I LOVED THEM.

@diywife Месяц назад

Yes, we are glad to have water-resistant floors as well! And yes, that is actually the initial plan outside is to (potentially) make a flower bed to help with the drainage but to also add some inviting greenery.
