DIYfferent good, I was tired of flipping through hunting the complete renovation. Saved playlist 👍🏼

Who needs Chip and Joanna Gains when you got Doug and Ashley.

Maybe save the sink to use outdoors (attached to the cold water spigot) for gardening, if you plan to harvest animals, etc.

Hey Home Depot, with your ads for Rigid vacuums, on this video, give these fine folks a free shop vac, they need it.

I so look forward to each new episode. Though you find gross things, you just calmly tackle whatever you find, and get the job done. I look forward to seeing what you do with this space. A good days work!

Superman and wonder woman demo a kitchen.

Doug, those little fake "fix 'em up" t.v. programs can't hold a candle to you! You made that demolition look so easy. Doug & Ashley great work! I certainly can see the potential, for a much better kitchen now. You both will make it exactly how you want it, it will be perfect! Looking forward to next time.Take care and God Bless.

OH, TO BE YOUNG AGAIN. YOU ARE GOING ABOUT IT THE RIGHT WAY AND YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

That kitchen looked nice and the appliances looked new. That's why you can't judge a book by the cover, with the ants and mice damage hiding underneath.....can't wait to see the new finished kitchen. You two do excellent work.

Ashley really is an awesome woman and I would go so far as to say I slightly envy this "power couple". Assumption is a horrible thing. 😕

Yesss!!! I was hoping you'd go with a bigger window above the sink! Man, it looks like a beautiful , blank canvas to create a new kitchen, how exciting. We're all stoked, go team Doug and Ashley!!

Hi Doug & Ashley,love watching your remodel.Your personalities are wonderful & love all your smiles even through the hard times.Bless you & your family.😊

Oh for years I've wanted to demolish my kitchen like you guys just did!!!

I recommend placing cement block piers every 8' along the marriage line (center of house). Do I now or later when it droops and the roof leaks. Also, think about the 20 plus years of nastiness on kitchen walls. Do you really want to prep food next to that. You need sheetrock on the center wall for a fire break. Great job.

William Shelby I totally agree - have you guys ever seen paneling burn? Drywall over it to achieve some fire protection. . Also great idea to put in the under supports.

I'm exhausted just watching. Great demo work. The house is going to be brand new when you're finished. I'm so happy for you guys. I've been reading some of the comments, and I must say I'm kinda disappointed in some folks. I would address some of the mean people but my granny always said, 'when you hate, it's like taking poison and expecting the other person to die'. Embrace the positive, ignore the negative, you are doing a great job! Have a great day dear ones, get some rest! ;)

(Although I did laugh when u broke one). So here we go.... onward and upward.... the excitement builds.

Great job removing all the cabinets and walls! You’re so lucky that the water damage and carpenter ants didn’t turn out as bad as expected 😁👍🇨🇦 Can’t wait for the next video 👍👍

I love watching your projects and hearing your plans. Awesome Video...can't wait to see the rest of Demo!

That is cheap mobile home construction for you. Looks better already. Like the blue flooring. It is going to look so much better when you are finally finished. Looking forward to seeing the finished product on your house. I am so proud of you two. God Bless you both.

Doug is possessed when it comes to demolition! :) Glad to see the water damage is minimal.

LOL he was having too much fun yanking those cabinets down haha he had me giggling.

Treat the carpenter ants in the walls with termite spray. I had them totally destroy my shed wall. They thrive on moisture. They can do alot of damage. Your really doing a awesome job. Thanks for sharing a great video.

I don't know what it is but I find it strangely relaxing watching you guys demo, you make it look easy. It's amazing to me how thin our barrier really is to the outside world, we feel safe inside but it's an illusion. : ) You guys are such a pleasure to watch and you are beasts at work! God Bless.

I don't know why you want to gut that lovely kitchen. 😛 😎 And that wallpaper...what's not to like? 😂

The whole place was damaged by mice not just the kitchen ! All of it ! You are doing a great job of remodeling that place !

I like the bigger kitchen window idea and can't wait to see how this all comes together. Great job you two, the best working team on FB.

For Resale and Appraised Values...I would recommend running cinder block support columns down the center of the foundation of the home. As well, as completely finishing the home in drywall. You may also think about leaving a large window type opening in the wall between the living room and kitchen. I understand, it's a huge project that has to take place in a short amount of time due the weather conditions in Michigan, but it will be well worth the extra cost and effort in the end. Love the transformation and videos!

Doug, you are a demolition BEAST! You made QUICK work of that demo! I knew it wouldn't take you two long to get that part of the remodel done. Sorry about the lamp shades, Ashley. Even so, that old light fixture and remaining shades can be of use to somebody. I hope you plan to give the fridge and fixtures to Good Will or Salvation Army or a Habitat For Humanity Re-Store or a thrift shop in your area for someone else less fortunate. Not surprised to see the evidence of mice in your wall. A little surprised to see the carpenter ants. I was thinking the whole time, "get them out of there!" Then you found another nest! Whew! But it didn't faze you! I applaud your fortitude. Good work on the demo and clean-up. Looking forward to the remodel. (Are you really going to paper the kitchen walls in the same manner as you did the bedrooms and will do the living room? Don't the kitchen and bath need a little bit heartier wall coverings? I know you don't want paint and its fumes, but isn't there something else to use as wall covering? Will your paper treatment stand up to the moisture (and grease) of a kitchen, bath and laundry area like high gloss paint will?

Wow, I am in awe of both of you. What a day you had. Amazing what you can do with a hammer and muscle. So proud of you two. Working hard, and setting goals as you have will only be a huge investment in your home in the end.

I always hold my breath as to what lurks behind the walls etc you're tearing down.. always something! Thankfully it wasn't as bad as you feared.. I like that you're making the window larger for light in the kitchen.. I got a kick out of the way you torn into the kitchen cabinets with the hammer and crossbar.. definitely a man with a mission 😃

I got to thinking after making an earlier comment.. are you thinking of using pocket doors for the utility room? Also if you’re only having one bathroom maybe making it a split bathroom so if someone is bathing or showering it could be closed off with a pocket door that can be locked on either side so that the toilet is still accessible.. just a thought..

Glad you took off the doors to the fridge, don't want your little ones to accidentally get trapped in there.

OMG, I love demo day. You guys do it better than anybody. I laughed out loud during much of this. I have no idea why.

Demo Doug has struck again! 😃👍🙏❤️🙏

You can spray the stud bays with Bora-Care to prevent any future insect infestations. Also, dusting the floors underneath the new floor cabinets with Roach Proof (boric acid powder) before installing them should prevent any insect issues in the future.

Well better to find them now and get it taken care of before winter. Everything is looking great !!

Removing the walls between the kitchen and laundry, and between laundry and hallway gives you a much better, more useful and open layout. Great idea.

Oh my goodness! I freaked out and started itching the second I saw those ants! Hate them! Had an infestation in a house I rented once, the main nest was under the floor in the middle of the house, floor had to be ripped up to get at it cos it was a brick built house with no exterior access, which is typical here in Scotland! At least the water damage is only round the one window, but you've pretty much uncovered all the horrors now and you know exactly what you're dealing with. Great demolition Doug!

Oh yiur hubby is so into this demo!!!!

Those Appliances could probably be some nice appliances for someone else you could set them at the road and someone would pick them up! IF you didn't want to get any money out of them.

There's a saying you only do it the hard way once...😁😁😁

Dog Doug you are stronger than you look I cant wait for to finish it I love it all so for tyfs
