we heard & applied your requests for two things: limiting the "filming the ground" shots when walking so you don't get dizzy & also our cursing! quite honestly we don't realize when we do either lol, but i tried to censor us a bit in this video
I never even noticed you guys cursed 😂 idk how. Doesn’t bother me but I think it’s really nice that you are listening to your viewers who requested that ❤
Meg! You have absolutely outdone yourself with these moving vlogs honeyyyy! I love these so much. Finn is such a character and y’all compliment each other so well. These feel like FaceTimes
Love the juxtaposition of Finley down in the grimy dingy basement with his duct tape and sewer pipes set against Megan all done up in her floofy top and beautiful artwork in the glorious sunshine 😂
First, thank you for feeding us mother. Second, I think it was on IG where you told Finley how the women are going feral for him and I’m here to corroborate that statement 😂. I’m so fascinated that he’s a man from our generation who knows how to do this stuff. He’s a good teacher: looking forward to the reno vlogs 💗.
meg you don’t know how much these vlogs help me! they motivate me to get off my rear and do some house work! thank you❤ the fact we get to watch you make your house a home is really so special!
YESSS just last night I was like "wow my life would be improved with the presence of a Meghan and Fin moving vlog" AND THIS MORNING I JUST GOT TO WORK AND WHAT DID I SEE!? THIS BEAUTIFUL NOTIFICATION, YES THANK YOU SM❤
I cannot even tell you how I CACKLED when Finley said “it’s 5:30 and I’ve blew up a part of the house and now don’t want to finish it.” 😂 my husband has said the EXACT same thing with renos!
i love it too! i do want to paint the cabinets a brighter color, but i am so anxious that i'll ruin the charm lol. it's just that the bottom cabinets get lost being the same color stain as the wall!
you should rename the vlogs "stunning showstopping talented doen model & young and healthy husband absolutely sliving vlog", Larrold is such a peaceful gentleman & Roo is such a sprightly baby full of joie de vivre. Again, you two are gonna be amazing parents, truly amazing
It's really sweet seeing you light up when you talk about Finley ❤ you can see it on your face that you're in love with him as a person and the passion he has for helping other people 💕 you two are a perfect fit for each other 🥰🥰
I’ve loved watching these videos and find you so relatable. I know exactly what you mean when you say you feel like you aren’t doing enough because your husband is the one working with his hands and fixing things. I’ve often felt the same way. I love what your mom said and she’s so right. All the other stuff we do makes it so our husbands can do what they do best and so they don’t stress about the other things. It’s so nice having a husband who is handy isn’t it?! Growing up my parents always hired people and not only did it take time because you had to work around their schedule and then have strangers in the house but it cost extra money too
I hope the moving vlogs continue til the day I die. Not actually but like I love moving content so much. I could watch you literally just unpack boxes for hours, idk why but it's just so satisfying and motivating. I usually watch you while I work (remotely) and these moving vlogs especially really get me goin lol. 💗
every project you guys finish is gonna give you a sense of pride and accomplishment that will make you guys proud of the home you are building together!
So what I’m hearing you guys say is that you’re basically renovating a house identical to mine. My husband and I moved into my childhood home and my dad is basically the same way that your previous owner was. We have the same: 1. Woodwork 2. Bathroom issues 3. Weird drywall 4. Unsafe electrical 5. Corrugated metal roof problems 6. Dangerous propane and heat issues 7. No doors/weird doors 8. Weird in-wall lighting 9. Insulation, tires, and garbage in the woods 10. Unfinished and unused upstairs 11. Dangerous stairs 12. Rotten wood 13. Unsafe dryer vents So much more dude. I truly wish you could see my house, they are like IDENTICAL. Every time you guys show something, I show it to my husband and he laughs. We should be besties. 4.
Finley reminds me of my husband. Jack of all trades and the master of none BUT still somehow excel at it every time. 😂 whatever they put their mind to, they can do. I like what he said about it not having to be right, but it needing to be done! It doesn’t have to be pretty but has to be safe and functional lol. My husband calls it “putting lipstick on a pig.” 😂 I don’t comment often but I’ve been loving your vlogs ❤ your home will take time to come together but years from now, it will all be worth it to look back and see all of your accomplishments! 🥰 Love you both!
I love being brought along on this process with y’all! Also I totally understand what you mean when you said you want certain things with the house to be finished already. But I really do feel like you’ve made really great progress in a short amount of time!!
I would love to hear finleys take on why he chose to do many odd jobs. As i get older i definitely find it more important to be knowledgable in a lot of different areas and I do basically hold the belief that having 1 career for your whole life is pretty unsustainable. Definitely want to take notes out of his book!! OBSESSED with the moving vlogs, legends.
the way he took off the tape just to fix the plumbing with more tape, I’m dead 😂 my husband is the same way, he grew up building houses with his dad and knows a bunch of skills he would be willing to teach me, but I’m like “why do I need to know how to do that if you already know how???”
I've been watching your videos since I was like 14/15 (we're the same age!) and frankly, it's super awesome. I think you (and maybe like 1 or 2 others) are the only creator I've kept watching since my early teenage years. To know that there will be so much to come from just simply building your home to what you want it to be is so exciting and I am so grateful you decided to share with us what you do! It's inspiring and awesome and refreshing to see other people my age live a slower life, a more hands-on life, and have really similar values. It's so rare these days! The world wants to move so fast and I'm just so happy to see this slow, realistic view of what life actually is.
Hey Meghan! My husband and I have the same dynamic you and Fin have and those feelings are real! It's really easy to get into my head about it at times too!! But really we are doing things that help their destiny (like your mom said *truth*) and it's a mutual thing where both partners are better together and help one another in ways that improve everything overall for each other ✨💛✨ love u queen
i absolutely love this entire series! also i don't have a clue about anything Finley is talking about during the renovations but i still very much enjoy it lol
I love these vlogs so much. You shouldn’t doubt yourself on productivity-you’re doing a lot right now! I would love to hear your experience and tips for moving states/across the country. My husband and i are planning to move states for the first time and the thought it is kind of overwhelming. Would love to hear how you’ve handled it!
Some oven ranges have twistable feet so you can level it out maybe that would help it reach the height of the counter? Lovin the content Meg!!! Thrilled to follow the journey
Ok was just thinking "when will I see meg again I need updates?!" Lol and here we are. Thank you for this upload ❤. 😂😂😂 update fin trying to pull that thing off after telling us hes in his prime has me crying laughing, and you thinking something was getting attacked. I cant yall are so perfect 🤣🤦🏽♀️.
Hey Meghan, did you talk about why you'd want to take off all the rooms from that home wing? Wouldn't it be better to renovate and have functioning extra rooms?
Meghan you were talking about the video titles may consider (each can be reverse were the weekly vlog comes first): -Renovating New Home and Weekly Vlog -Renovating First Home and Weekly Vlog -Renovating Fixer Upper Weekly Vlog Also, I enjoy Finley’s clips they are educational. Each one of you are doing your part (and somethings can’t be measured 50/50). Maybe ask Finley if their is something you can help him with (and I am not saying that you haven’t) or consider assisting with the sanding, painting or staining (when the time comes). And yes I do agree with your mom that making calls to different providers, trades people, and companies is very necessary and time consuming. Please embrace the process and give yourself some grace my friend 🌻 😊 🍄 !
Hey guys! Just wanted to point out it's worth checking for bed bugs. In Finnley's little section of the vlog (~9:20) there are some black dots on the wall. Most likely just something splatted on the wall from the pipe or something but just worth a check because those are a nightmare and the sooner you find them the better. Loving the vlog so far!
Loving these vlogs. You and Finley both seem so much happier and joyful, so happy for you ❤. Loving the Finley segments, especially the toad part 😂 do you think he'd ever make his own channel?
Also I hope this okay for me to suggest (take it with a grain of salt I'm no professional) but maybe slate or recycled plastic shingle would be options to look at
When I moved into my fixer upper house, our sewage trap must of been broken so all of our plumbing started coming up in our basement drains and it was HORRID.
The nicest thing is the wood flooring is good you can just sand and restain its more work on you & fin then money thank god that will save a lot of money!
I just recently discovered your chancel and I’m loving the moving vlogs!! I’m also a new homeowner (in Portland, Oregon) but plan on moving to New England in the distant future (Maine or Vermont)! My partner is from the south shore of Massachusetts and I’m originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. Your content is so refreshing to watch, I can realistically relate to it! Keep doing what you’re doing, you have just earned a new subscriber!❤️ P.S. I can’t wait for the pigs to join the fun on the new property!!
Your fingers will usually swell in the summer! During the fall and winter months the swelling should go down! In fact, sometimes my rings fall off completely.
