She keeps saying it isn't perfect, but heck if I can find a single issue with the brickwork! Danie... it's ok to admit you nailed it 🎉

[peggykhiev]

You’re too harsh on yourself, Daniel! That porch looks absolutely gorgeous and professional! 🎉

[jessicahites]

One heck of a difference!! Looks great!! I don't think anyone else would know it wasn't done by a professional.

The winner of the video is your pup who keeps bringing you toys to play.

I am also a diy lady. I didn't hear you mention it, but it is essential that the whole porch slope outward from your house to permit water to drain off, away from the house. Otherwise, there will be further damage under the door area.

[lynnharrell]

Most people never succeed because they never try. Great job Danie.

[joannehickey]

Mrs Danie...
Did you know that stabbing a pointed stick into the space where you pulled out weeds, then pouring boiling water directly from your kettle into the resulting holes, will cook the roots of the weed and it will never come back? It works on dandelions thistles, milkweed and many other weeds. My Gran used it to control the volunteers that seeded in from other people's yards and the road verges. It worked very well, and there were no chemicals in sight.

[kimchristianson]

this diy ticks all of the boxes. free bricks that did not become garbage, beautiful design, funny presentation with both humour and pointing out your setbacks and finally it is a great improvement on the original look.

[jacquelinepeskett]

Looks amazing. And so much work. Well done.

I subscribed when you showed 3 front door mats stacked on top of each other. Such vulnerability! Real life!

[vickinoeske]

What I learned after being a homeowner for 35 years, NOTHING is easy!🤣😂 Your brick stoop (ha) looks great. Good job.❤️👍👏💪A++

As an elderly lady doing a lot of work in the garden, if you don't have knee pads, an old large towel folded up helps a lot. You just have to move it along with where you are working which is a slight pain, but it does help a lot.

I love the new look. You always give me confidence that I can do more.

[NitrosMom]

Oh Danie! You are the bravest person! I love love love how you are not afraid to tackle new things! You did a FANTASTIC job and it looks marvelous!

[janelte]

Loved the split screen brick bashing montage ... only change I would make is to spray paint the mirror frame in black so the eye is drawn to the door with its newly painted frame, rather than bouncing between the two white outlines. Well done. You must be wrecked.

[GloriaG]

Girl!! I love your “how hard could it be” attitude!! Love this lil patio! ❤❤

[hzkvjsl]

You always end up opening more cans of worms than you expect. I'm glad you scored all the bricks for free. I'm a DIYer myself 69 year old strong female. You did a wonderful job 👏

[roxiepoe]

You went from a back-door vibe to an elegant entry-way! Your brick looks fabulous.

[manita]

Great work Danie! You remind me of me 45 years ago… full of energy… never giving up… letting your creative process shine! You should be very proud of yourself.🌟🌸

[terrioakley]

Danie you always have the skills to fix problems as they come up ! I think the brickwork is terrific 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[SYRSALLY]

I’m a new subbie. I love anyone that puts a smile on my face and you did that. I’m 74 and and can’t hard vacuum my carpets so I understand how tired you were. Can’t wait to see more. ❤️😜
