    Wow Tolya, & Vika, what a beautiful stone floor and that wood door goes well with your colors too. And then the men uncovered that gorgeous arch! Liked how Tolya, aided that turtle… so kind! Your house is going to be so beautiful when completed. Is Paul, a relative or friend? I can only imagine your genuine excitement as you see your home transforming before your eyes. A lot of investment of hard work, sacrifice, and time, but in the end you will have saved a house from being demolished and be able to enjoy your very own home! You both are young people with little girls who work hard to attain things. Congratulations to both sets of your parents as they instilled good work ethic values in you! So many young people have been brought up with poor values and lack of discipline and love. So many young, able bodied people refuse to work and cause hardship on their families 😢. You two, are good examples as responsible adults, and I just want your parents to be recognized for all their hard work raising families! By the way, Vika, was wondering when showing remodeling in a room, could you please let viewers know which room in house we are watching work being done? I really am loving your house and was wondering about the room with wooden door and stone floor, would that be living room? What room is the arch in? How many rooms, including kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, dining room, laundry room, etc. will your house have? It sure looks like a large house. Sorry, so many questions… I watch house remodels on TV and love them. Vika, you produce great videos and thank you for sharing. Hugs to both little girls. You both take care. Am praying for your family. God bless! Sending hugs to all. Your American friend , CarrieJo/North Carolina USA 😊❤

    A difference from British standard construction seems to be that whereas in Britain wires would be placed in trunking, in Georgia the wires are covered in plaster. The advantage of the British system is that the wires can be replaced. You just tie a new wire onto the old wire and then pull the old wire to pull the new wire through the trunking.

    Thank you so much for sharing this process it’s so exciting to watch your new home come to life. Your husband will be SO PROUD when he’s finished and you all sit down to your first meal as a family in the home he built for you all ❤️
