What perseverance and I have never seen either of you in a bad mood, or speaking harsh words. What character you have, and what a legacy you are building in your beautiful children. ❤

@looseballs1966 Год назад

FYI you can replace the water in your tile saw with the antifreeze used to winterize RV's for working where temps are freezing.....just rinse the tile in fresh water before it goes up and you can do that inside the house because RV antifreeze is non toxic and made to be pumped through the plumbing system of the RV.

Your shower is beautiful! Love your tile choices. My mother passed recently and we sold her home,the buyer wanted a radon test so we split the cost with them. The results came back at 17 ,we were shocked! The buyer had the system installed to vent the radon out. My parents lived there 38 years and never thought of anything like radon could be in there home. My father died of lung cancer 2 yrs ago. I highly recommend everyone have this test done. Thankfully you are having the test done now and not years later, I pray for 4.0 or less test results. The system isn't cheap to have installed but very necessary.

@GoodSimpleLiving Год назад

Oh my gosh, Radon is so scary, because you seriously can't tell if you have it. I'm so sorry that happened.

@suebean3873 Год назад

Wow, unbelievable. I’m so so sorry that happened to your family. Wishing this family much luck in this aspect. Hopefully we will hear soon enough. All the Best!

@kateslippers8289 Год назад

We purchased this house 16 yrs ago while I was being treated for cancer so radon was a big concern. We had a radon test done and the result was 7 so we had the owners take care of of getting the radon system activated. We live in western Maryland and the radon is slightly elevated in this part of the state. Most people aren't even aware of this.

@deecooper1567 Год назад

The tile work is amazing!! The satisfaction of putting the last piece of tile for total completion of the home must have been beyond words🤩 Been watching since you decided to pack up , leave Washington & head on a new journey. And what a journey it’s been. Can’t wait for the garage? Or barn next. Love y’all 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

Dear Melissa & Jeremy, My words are inadequate in expressing my admiration to you and family for making your journey available to the public. You as a family have made my approaching life journey’s end so enjoyable. I am 82 and fighting several types of blood cancer. Don’t feel sad for me because my faith in My Savior have assured my destination. You have so eased the journey through your videos. Your neighbors are the luckiest people in the world! Thank you from the depth of heart for the privilege of your sharing. I hug you each from afar.

Dear Leon, Here is my perspective as we prepare to meet Jesus face to face: I liken womb to earth and earth to heaven. Just as I am unable to recall how it felt in the womb, I believe it will also be so in heaven--unable to recall all the pain and suffering on earth and look forward to unlimited joy and happiness in our forever home. As a Catholic, I will be praying for you and the grace of a happy birth into eternal life!! 💖 As said by a favorite priest of mine: "Once we are born, we never cease to exist; we just can't see you! Wrapping you in Jesus' loving care! Amen, Leon!

@kevinmurphy2545 Год назад

I never understood why non-smokers were dying from lung cancer. Then I became a home inspector and studied up on radon, and it started making sense. People are living in houses that may be radon traps, without having any idea. This is why I try to convince every one of my clients to get their house/prospective houses tested.

@GoodSimpleLiving Год назад

So important

@brett76544 Год назад

the most I ever tested was 149 pci. Home built in 2003 and tested in 2012. Then I tested another home 5 years ago brand new and just a little high in the basement, but the kitchen was almost 50 pci. It had a radon mitigation system in it. Why was the kitchen high, they had natural gas for the stove supply and the gas in the area had a 58-day period where a few of the half-life's would need to wait before the radon level in the gas lowered to below 6 pci's. I have done a few school districts following the EPA standards for schools, and there were a few surprises.

Now a few years ago from doing Phase I ESAs in the county I had the Dem. and Rep. party heads call me about this property that had void spaces developing and the owner would fill the holes with gravel. The problem, the property was used a few owners ago as the township landfill. The only reason I knew was the reports I got and looking at the PA DEP known sites for other projects in that area.
