Steps to Avoiding Responsibility - Part 5

[endof]

There are so many place they could of had so much more area wise even in a small space for them! I think there downfall was Kels wanted the daily bumps papa effect for June and people to babysit and brought the family back to where the both couldn’t wait to leave as soon as they could! I can totally see June wanting to do the same! Everything looks so miserable! That tiny place they had in portland was so much more interesting! And what is this obsession with chickens? Maintaining them gives me the creeps!

their downfall

[endof]

I apologize I just can’t stop! Why were they writing tear jerking letters for this? Why was Kels stressing and not sleeping at night for this? Why is she stressing over and over ‘our first home’ as an announcement it will not be forever!? Why did they post giant beach mansions for effect in the thumbnails? Why did they fake his parents front door? Are they not proud of what they bought? Why were they rushing like there is no tomorrow to move in if the have parents on both sides and could of moved in at a more comfortable pace!? It almost feels so desperate to grab anything affordable to just move and be on their own, they rushed it they should have rented and have a feel for the ares before deciding! Yes they grew up there but now they are adults with a child, a whole new kettle of fish!

I agree that this house isn't going to be a good fit for them. It's just too small. Corbin posted on IG that they put their table in the living room area against the wall(?). Where will their big couch go? Where will that HUGE daybed thing Missy gave them go? Didn't they get a king-sized bed? And another bed for their guest room in SoCal? Maybe they can put that in June's room for now?

They basically bought a tiny house!

885 sq. ft. is not much room to work with. My one-bedroom corporate apartment before I moved into my house was 775 sq. ft. and I can't imagine a family of three (plus a dog and another kid) living there permanently. Kelsey said she's excited to utilize all the outdoor space, but it's going to be a lot of work to maintain. Not to mention you can't just spend all day outside when it's winter in Idaho.

The WORST part is only having one bathroom. I can't even imagine. (Actually, I can imagine because I've had to live that way before and it's not fun.)

They didn't think this house through at all. It was listed 1/4 and went pending 1/5. So I'm guessing they offered full price the same day it was listed. SUCKERS!

So right! If I was the seller I would be over the moon getting that off my hands! Can’t imagine any couple wanting that master bedroom and just an entry hallway for the main living area! I think flakey Kels saw the back yard and thought wow birthday parties for June!

[endof]

Somebody stop me! Also why oh why if you have a dying channel and make a living vlogging and refuse to work, why would you go to this situation it almost seems sad! Had Corb being more patient in Cal their situation would have been so different and June would of had access to sunny beaches they their friends,I think greed got the better of them and jealousy for the bumps , now it seems the go lower and lower! I remember how Corbin reacted the first time he saw Brian’s pool makeover! I think Brian was the kid who had nothing and Corbin the expensive toys nice house a mom and dad, and the tables turned and it was too hard for Corbin to swallow!

One thing that will really suck about that house is how June’s room is right next to the living room. After putting her to bed at night they’ll have to be super quiet so they don’t wake her up.

My kids are light sleepers, so I know that house wouldn’t work for us! Even with sound machines.

My daughter is also a light sleeper. Our living room and her bedroom are right next to each other. Actually, the tv is on a wall and on the other side of that wall is her bed. She has a sound machine and it drowns out the noise.

I can understand the rush to be on your own. Being an adult with your own family and still having to rely on your parents is HARD. However, if that house was my only immediate option I would have continued to look. I rather have been stressed for a few more months and found a house that is big enough for my growing family than to be crammed. I get if it’s just a “base” while you travel but, there’s no room to relax. It’s small without furniture. It will be even smaller with furniture. I think if they move back to Portland or Cali their channel would go back to how it used to be. They wouldn’t be so strained financially. There’s so much more to do in Portland and Cali. Sure, the cost of living is high but if your channel is going good enough money won’t be an issue. Their videos started getting boring as soon as they moved to Idaho. I understand wanting to live close to family, especially if children are involved but as an adult you have to take your career into consideration. I mean, after all it is what puts food on the table.

For me their channel was boring even in California. They’re just not interesting people I guess. And the things they actually do that would make for cool videos they slack on filming. The last rev trip could have been really great for their channel but it didn’t seem like they showed much?

I don’t understand the rush to purchase either. They could have rented for a year and saved for a bigger down payment on a more practical house. I just don’t see how this house will meet their current needs much less their needs when they have 2+ children. I know people make it work all the time and they certainly could but it definitely wouldn’t have been what I would have invested my money into.

Their tiny apartment in Portland was 635 sq. ft., and they've admitted it was too small! This house is only 885 sq. ft. Holy HECK! My boyfriend and I lived in an 800 sq. ft. loft in Portland and it almost killed our relationship because it was too small and no privacy.

They want to have another kid while they live in this shoebox??

totally I mean why go to so many places and not film tiny documentary people love that yet we saw nothing

Bet in a year if she get preg they will be selling using the baby as an excuse but the truth will be they hated it and probably got whiney with the grandparents

[Edenberry]

*deep inhale* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

You have got to be kidding me. THIS?! This is what they've been building up for weeks and weeks?! AHAHAHAHAA!!

I'm not knocking the house, really. For an older couple, a single, I could see that being a nice, easy house to keep up. But for a couple with a child...and wanting more...what a joke. That is going to be a NIGHTMARE.

My main issues are the lack of space to have a dining table and the door in the master. My husband is paranoid where home security is concerned and would never get a house with a door leading straight into the master bedroom...in that area...near a gas station....yeesh what a mess and what fun this is going to be to watch.

[HashtagBlessed]

I don't doubt that this is considered a "trendy" area by Idaho standards. And I get that this is on the outskirts of said trendy area and probably the best they could afford. But personally I question how they can afford this at all. I can't imagine how they are affording the mortgage plus property taxes and PMI on a $244,000 house given the fact that neither of them have a steady job outside of YouTube and social media shilling for a very small channel. And you know their down payment was minimal. I am also assuming they paid close to full asking price considering it was on the market for one day.

Even if it is a highly desirable area and you're counting on the property value going up, you have to factor in the fact that buying and moving is expensive. There are closing costs, moving costs, and upkeep as a property owner. You have to factor all of that in as expenses when you flip a house. Not to mention the fact that the first several years that you are paying down a mortgage, a significant portion of your payment is going towards interest rather than principal. That's money you're not going to get back when you sell. So you really don't start building serious equity until a couple years in, especially if you have a very small down payment. So turning around and selling this house in a couple years probably won't be a great financial move. I'm curious why the previous owners only owned for a year.

It also isn't practical for a family of four. Like I said, I actually live in something very similar, but we bought several years ago before kids. Our layout is more open and our kitchen and bathroom are updated. We have a dining area and no weird door to the outside in the master. But otherwise it's pretty similar. Two bedroom, one bath, less than a $1,000 sq/ft. I totally get how people live in small spaces, and we plan to turn our second bedroom into a nursery this year and are working on how to live without a designated office. I get that it's totally doable. But June will be 5 in three years. They want a second child ASAP. I don't see how two kids are going to share that tiny second bedroom for the next five to seven years. I hope they have more storage in the basement that they didn't show. They don't even seem to have a coat closet. And they're going to need all those closets in the bedrooms because there's no room for a dresser. But the first thing I would do is rip out that cheap bathroom vanity and get something more substantial, and install a recessed medicine cabinet for toiletries.

Even when they lived in small spaces in the past, they were never particularly neat or organized. Everything was just shoved into drawers and closets. I think the space has a lot of potential and would work for a retired couple, single person, or newly married couple. But it's going to be a disaster for them.

So cosy is the new hamster cage!

You know, with all the lies and the crappy videos with lack of footage and weird time line, Corbin could have gotten a job without them mentioning it in the vlogs. Idk.

I think they'd be much more successful with YouTube if they'd just be completely honest about their situation.

To me they're at the point where nothing surprises me anymore. Like, they could be wearing tin hats and yelling at the sky and I wouldn't even raise an eyebrow lol.

They only have hot water for a little while, but that's what they wanted...fix stuff and do room makeovers. Omg just say that you bought a pos house where you can't even take a warm shover.

Where I'm from (Denmark) you can buy these little gardens that have a small house. You buy them if you live in an apartment in the city and want a place where you can be in the summer and spend most of your time in the garden. Most people live there all summer but most of the houses are small, badly isolated, crooked and have small water heaters, small kitchens etc. Perfect for just summertime when you're mostly outside anyway. Their new house reminds me about a house like that.

I sure hope they got a home warranty plan with this place since he’s saying there’s already an issue with the water heater.

I think they’re trying to justify the smallness of the house by saying numerous times that they moved from a 4 bedroom house. Can’t get around it, the house is small!

It actually looks like their headboard, that they searched all over for, is going to cover the windows in their room.

I thought when they moved to Idaho he drove the uhaul with their stuff and she drove the car. I think I remember them even packing the truck up with his brother. They can’t find the bolts to the bed-frame and she said “we had movers and they said don’t tape them onto the frame”.

Thanking everyone for the positive comments and they’re so happy that other people can see the potential. Barf.... this was filmed over a couple of days.

That house doesn't have a basement. They only have the one-car garage for excess storage.

Their house actually reminds me of my grandmother's house in Portland (2bd/1ba, built in 1952), but her house is 1200 sq. ft.—it has a dining room area, a breakfast nook in the kitchen and a larger living room. I think Kelsey and Corbin are already missing having even a little extra room.

And WOW! The house looks cram-packed already. They should sell the dining table AND the couch AND their huge bed. It's never going to look nice with oversized furniture in that space. Houses built in 1947 weren't meant for oversized furniture from suburban furniture stores meant to furnish oversized suburban houses.

I also had to chuckle when Corbin was explaining about the water heater. Guys, they bought a house that needs lots of work ON PURPOSE! And Kelsey adding it wouldn't be stressful as long as they make repairing the house "fun"? Effff her, no one thinks doing home repairs are FUN—except maybe the person getting paid to make the repairs. She sounds so stupid and naive about owning a home.

The newness of this tiny house is going to quickly wear off and they will be desperate for "something" new again within a year.

This video was hysterical! I lost track of how many days they were jumping between. Doesn't that seem like more work for him? Having to keep piece together a plot line from multiple days, keeping track what they've said and what they're hiding. It just seems like a logistical editing nightmare. Why can't they just be normal, film a day, edit it, and post it? What are they hiding that they have to piece together 3 days? In the beginning, they were back to the outfits they filmed the fake front door video. I just don't get it, it makes my brain hurt.

And that huge ass bed covering the entire window is freaking hilarious! They were clearly trying not to show it too.

And their interactions with family always seem soooo weird. Like with her mom, I was feeling awkward watching that. They've always seemed that way with family. It's so odd.

So it’s sounds to me that family told them to pass on this house. They made a big deal out of the viewers seeing the charm that Kelsey sees but not everyone else sees.
