Hearing bagpipes in the wild is the coolest experience. I have a neighbor who randomly plays them at sundown sometimes and its just such an epic ending to any day!

[elfx]

i would happily watch 35- 45 minute long episodes of this! this series is actually so relaxing! the way you both bounce off eachothers energies is so funny!

[sarahgirard]

favorite quote of the video: "Please be careful nikki, i can't loose you." so sweet.

HGTV never produced anything this entertaining. Your personalities, story telling, music and editing… so fun😊

If you're allowed, when you rebuild the flat roof, add a 5-degree pitch to it and ensure the water runs off the low side into a gutter. It's only going to rot again if you don't, and no amount of tar and gravel will prevent the rot.

[dianeschenkelberg]

That's a tar and gravel roof. My parents, now deceased, lived in a mid-century modern house and they had tar and gravel on their roof. I remember having to scrape excess gravel out of the gutters every year. They have better materials for flat roofs now. We use a Metacrylics product for the small section of our house that is flat. I'm really enjoying this series!

Nick is worth his weight in gold. I can't imagine what it would cost to hire someone with his expertise and knowledge to run this whole project ❤🕊

[kimberbree]

WHO RAISED THIS MAN!!! Hats off to you, nicks parents 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 he honestly seems like an amazing man. You seem to be a great couple and are really good together. I love to see it 💕

[Lifeofbpw]

I can see Jenna and Nick being so cute as an old elderly couple 😂 they’ll be talking about this renovation forever 😅

[poodlegirl]

People underestimate the amount of money they can save by doing the grunt work themselves. Good on you two.

[rebeccachapmandann]

I look forward to each new video. I’m 72 and all my life I wanted to redo an historical home. Now too late. I’m a little nervous for you guys to be on the roof. When Nick lost his balance for a second there I gasped out loud.

[anaisgbz]

I absolutely love that diy ramp thing, I laughed so hard at the idea the neighbors would see this first and think “omg who’s renovating this” but also come on it’s genius, work smarter not harder 🤣 looks like exactly the kind of thing I would do to

[cianfleetwood]

There is a valid reason why there are succulent growing on the roof.
The benefits are enormous, not only financially, but Sedum green roofs can last longer than conventional roofs. These green roofs benefit the environment not only as a carbon sink, but encouraging the wildlife and biodiversity. When you fix the roof, I hope you replant new succulents

[irishy]

Wow! Thanks for showing the difference in wood. It really illustrates what people mean when they say “they don't build them like they used to.”

[jmitch]

If there is an award for best video series on YouTube, this wins it. It's mind blowing how much you've already accomplished and the music and watching you work together brings pure joy!! Sorry for all the permit delays though. Stay safe❤

[tschuuuls]

FYI: Solar Panels are surprisingly cheap these days. Might as well install some while you are redoing the roof (if the structure allows for the additional weight etc.) :)

[vancouver]

This is part of why homes don't get build fast enough in Canada. To much red tape/permits that can delay projects for months and sometimes years. On a side note, both of you should be using some sort of fall arrest system when your working on the roof for your safety. I have worked at heights for many years, and even the shortest fall can be life altering. Goodluck with the rest of your Reno!

7:35 Douglas fir vs pine. Back in the day wood was thicker as well.

So wild that you're nearly at 1M subscribers. I've been watching since maybe 150k. I do miss your crafty vids, but I am also loving the house reno vids, and now my boyfriend watches along religiously too!
Also I love how much Nicky seems to make you genuinely laugh, it's beautiful to see!

[raymcconnell]

The "Please be careful Nicky, I can't loose you" made me tear up. I can't tell you how many times I have heard something like that from my wife.
