XO MaCenna, a big “XO” to you for trying to be as sustainable as possible and reusing the original materials of the house! I know it would be a time-saver to just buy new windows instead of scraping all the paint flecks off, sanding them down, and fitting them...Reusing old materials is cool, an educational learning experience, and good for our planet! Thanks for leading by example 💕

In a time where it seems like everyone wants to throw things away and take the easy way out, you are a breath of fresh air. So so impressed!

"Must have been a man " was hilarious, you and your mom are so much fun to watch, I love your upbeat attitude and perseverance, you are amazing girl !! 💞

Opinion: I don’t think dove wing is enough contrast. 😊. I really like the Manchester tan. I painted different rooms of my house different versions of white; however, I am unable to discern any difference and wish I would have chosen whites with more contrast. The black is THE BOMB!!!! Amazing work!

The black windows looks so good against the white walls! Loving the series <3

[margauxnisha]

I just know when this series is finished i’ll definitely binge watch it again from start to finish

Just imagine when the house is complete, down to the last decoration, you will be able to say every bone and crack of this place has been done by me (except building the whole house from empty land of course, although at this stage I believe you can do that too)! That feeling is going to be different, maybe the best ever!

I’m obsessed with your renovation and love how you are showing the world how capable women are ❤️

[LukMcKain]

This restoration journey continually gets more and more impressive every week. Blown away by all the incredible work you’re doing. Thanks for sharing.

[EmilyFaith]

I’m in awe of your patience! You’re doing such a great job with this entire journey 🧡

[TamarLitvot]

My husband walked by while I was watching this, stopped and said “she’s so expressive!” One of the many reasons I love watching you
Your parents are lucky to have you
You’re lucky to have them
And you all seem to know it.
The house will be beautiful and it’s your (all of you) creation and creativity.

I did not want this video to end!! The windows look incredible and you should be so proud of what you have accomplished so far!!

[freedomfields]

‘A man must of done it’ I say this all the time to my daughter when something makes no sense 😂. I love your Mom 😍

[tn]

You are seriously out of this world. My sister and I always make time to watch your videos together. You deserve so much credit and all the success, such an inspiration for all women. Thank you for taking us on this journey and sharing all the milestones. Lots of love from Canada!

Heads up, the weights are sized to the weight of the window they are carrying. You may want to check to see if the Low E glass is significantly heavier than the old glass. You may need larger weights. Worth finding out before you close the interior window trim.

[pamstrunk]

I bet your Mom is so proud of you! You're her little energizer bunny! Be Safe MaCenna and family!

[jaime]

LOVING the black windows. So good! Definitely like two locks per window. That extra trim piece will just blend right in. And I agree you should go just a touch darker than dove wing.

I am so obsessed with this serie and the vlogs, when I get relatives phone calls I make excuses that I am busy at the moment. Everything is looking great.

I'm so obsessed with this series I clicked right away, I'm so excited to see that it's finally coming together ❤

The reason contractors don’t like to work on old homes is simply because they are rarely straight and plumb so it is easier to tear down and rebuild and faster and cheaper and they can move on to new jobs! It’s always a question of money, they don’t really care if you are invested in your antique house or not. Btw great work 👍
