this is why no one wanted the house (ep.24)

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!

They’re just building a house from scratch at this point 😭

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. 👏🏻

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

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

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

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.

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

lol the house was being supported by those structural glass.

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.

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.♥️🙏

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.

You guys are handling this moneypit with much cheer and gusto

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!

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

I'm less concerned about the messy works space than the fact Nick has not seen Happy Gilmore😆😆🤣

Reminds me of a lone house on a street just outside the village near us where the owner painstakingly replaced every wall, one by one, and finally replaced the roof. He circumvented the ban to build the new house there by replacing the old structure with a new one, bit by bit, which was allowed... Bureaucracy can be a pain in the ... neck.

Jenna "Hey can we just build a new house please? this one has rotted away". The city permit office, "No."

It is so delicious that he calls you "LOVE" when he talks to you. I predict you will be so happy and secure in your life with him. Blessings to you both. You are indeed meant for one another.
