My heart melts every time Nicky says “my love”. So sweet.

This house got so lucky. The only reasonable action for any regular person would be to demolish and rebuild from scratch, but with an audience you were able to give it a chance to save would could be saved. Turns out that's basically nothing in the end, but you really gave it your best shot. It's a joy watching you work together. Great communication skills.

To witness how these two young adults work together and communicate with each other is the most incredible experience. It's absolutely heartwarming.

I can’t stand all the comments saying „there’s hardly any house left“. Surely it wasn’t their plan to dismantle it that much, but you gotta adapt to the situation and throw out what’s not usable. I‘m sure their heart is bleeding not only because of all the work they have on their hands, but also for the vision of the house they had in mind when they bought it. (Though they still can build the house of their dreams with most of the old house being dismantled)
We all have to keep in mind that they have to build a safe house where they can live for many many years, even if that means to leave behind their and our initial expectations.
Keep up the awesome work Jenna and Nick!

Honestly, looking at that beautiful blue sky, you don’t need a roof

[LexieAnneCole]

I’m so proud of y’all for not quitting. This project is so massive and the fact that you two are constantly envisioning the end goal is so admirable.

[AllanKobelansky]

I would not second guess the decision to dismantle the house layer by layer. When you started, the house looked quite sound. As you peeled back the layers, like an onion, it made you cry.

Nonetheless, the upside is that you have content for the next three years. Looking forward to it.

[julianasantos]

you also have a concrete structure, a pool, a beautiful fireplace and a wonderful view, do not be discouraged, we trust in the process

[fadehunter]

May I suggest using 1 piece of wood to make kitchen tools (wooden spoons, tooling pins, etc) and the extra nails you pulled to commission a blacksmith to make a knife or decoration as a piece to remember all your hard work

[LakesandOceans]

Every time I say to myself, “Oh they’ll bring in people to take off the roof” or “They have to bring in professionals to take down the steel beams” etc. NO they just take one bite out of the elephant at a time. 😂 Impressive. 👏🏻

I don't know about where you are, but my mothers house burned down last month, and she had no insurance.So we have to do most of the clean up ourselves. We have been hauling metals to the recycle place...and right now copper is going for about $4 a pound. We've hauled in enough scrap metal to be able to rent a bin soon. My husband asked me why I am watching the destruction of a house? Its because you are building your future, not loosing it. I started watching your crochet videos and have to say, "I love ALL your videos and the direction your channel is going. I can't wait to see the final walk through when it is finished.♥️🙏

[AbbreviatedReviews]

You got a pool, a foundation, and at least a few walls left. That's at least 10% of a house.

[calyssa.ollins]

60 years ago someone hit that nail in there and pooped their pants hoping nobody would notice 😂

[baileyns]

Omg I had no idea you weren’t saving the windows! I cannot imagine the cost to replace these big beauties. Sending you guys all my thoughts during this project! You’re doing amazing!

[kellyheidel]

I realize that setback after setback would be so very hard to handle. But when you are feeling completely demoralized, just take a few minutes, look at your incredible view and imagine getting to see that first thing every morning for the rest of your days. I’m jealous!

[carldevries]

I appreciate how methodical you were with the glass, and breaking the glass. I cringe when watching “home improvement” shows and “demo day” is just smashing everything to bits with a sledge hammer. Now who cleans that mess?? So much easier and safer the way you guys are doing it! Very refreshing. Kudos!

[monkeyrun]

lol the house was being supported by those structural glass.

Re: the nail in the sewage pipe: a few months after I moved into my current apartment, my and my next door neighbor's plumbing started backing up into our toilets and bathtubs. I got maintenance to get a plumber out the next day (it started happening at like 9 pm) and the plumber said the problem was a cable company had run an internet cable THROUGH the sewer line! I don't even know how that's possible!

[SuperDaveP]

You guys are handling this moneypit with much cheer and gusto

[brendaclarine]

I can't even imagine how stressed you guys were when you discovered the actual extent of the structural damages. But you've taken so much in stride and I admire you both so much for seeing to maintain sanity!
