Transcripts
how do you feel um actually quite
sad it's kind of weird isn't it yeah I
didn't think I'd be sad it's not a lot
time here it's just weird like it's done
but let's back up for a minute this is
Tyler and I'm Todd in the last few weeks
we've shared with you some of the
struggles we've been having in our
personal life and the decision to make
some changes in how we do things 5 years
ago when we decided to buy an old RV
renovate it and start exploring North
America it would have never been
possible without all the work and
sacrifices we made in the Years prior by
investing in older homes that were in
major need of Renovations we were not
only able to build equity but get a
monthly income from renting them out to
secure our financial Future No Matter
Where life's path took us the reality
though is the world looks very different
today than it did all those years ago
the empirical evidence is very clear
that shortterm inos are playing a major
role in U making housing less affordable
what can we do right away that makes
more homes available for Canadians and
the short-term rental is one of those
spaces when we start factoring that in a
life that already feels stretched thin
it's time to close this chapter but
saying goodbye to a place in a dream we
spent years Building Together is
Bittersweet now that we're all up to
speed give this video a thumbs up and
come
[Music]
along so the first property that we're
going to get started on is one that's
very near and dear to my heart if you've
been following the Vlog for a while you
probably recognize this place this is
the first place we moved to Edmonton 10
years ago it's wild it's yeah time just
flies it goes so quick we completely
renovated this place so we'd love to
show you the downstairs but there is a
long-term tenant that lives down there
this has been an Airbnb for The Last 5
Years and we're going to be converting
this into another long-term rental so
got to clean it out yeah we lived here
for probably 4 years off and on like we
were here for a long time and then we
moved elsewhere but this has like always
been our favorite house so we actually
moved back into the upstairs unit and
yeah it feels weird being here yeah it's
um makes it more real I find this is
like one of the first major Renovations
that we did this is our living room and
then coming this way it goes into the
kitchen which is really big and we've
got like the eating area over here as
well when it was one whole year unit
this was the stairs to the basement
there's two floors below us but we
closed it off and put washer and dryer
for this unit in here it's really cool
to be able to do that with these types
of houses because not only can more
people live in the neighborhood which is
increases density and makes it more of a
community it's really good from an
investment standpoint for cash flow we
did a a podcast I don't know if you've
seen it but we'll link it here where we
talk at length about real estate and why
we got into investing so yeah and it
also helped like when we were living
here in the basement was rented out we
weren't responsible for the full
mortgage we had someone downstairs
helping cover our cost of living up here
which was nice it was really important
in getting ahead when we were in our 20s
so yeah anyway this is the kitchen yeah
love the kitchen it's probably the
biggest kitchen we've ever had there's
just so much storage we didn't even use
all the cabinets when we lived here and
then a Pantry in here for the Airbnb it
had all the storage like for the
supplies for cleaning and turning the
unit over and then you come upstairs
and this used to be an open Loft but we
turned it into a study when we were
living here so we had a desk in here
with two bedrooms in the back but for
this we turned it into a bedroom so
works well all we did was we just built
this wall here to close it off when you
come down this hallway here you get the
second bedroom and then our bedroom was
right here yeah and you can see here
where we built out for closing in that
bedroom and then this is our room and it
goes right through to like a Jack and
Jill style bathroom so you can come in
this way and it works like it's got a
nice deep tub the toilet a decent vanity
and then I'm back out in the hallway
yeah this is just one by the way we're
doing three different properties while
we're here so we have a lot of work
ahead of us over the next week but
basically the goal is to take all of the
furniture all of the like toasters and
forks and knives anything that we could
use use for back in Nova Scotia like why
would we like we've we bought all of
this stuff years ago and because we're
not using them as airbnbs anymore it
only makes sense to kind of Salvage
everything that we can yeah like we can
use it at the container house cuz we
have to furnish that and we still have
Furnishing to do at the lake plus I
wanted to come out and just close this
chapter off like if this was a really
big part of our life and it's kind of
weird because this was pre YouTube like
we didn't we didn't share this online we
kind of picked guys up when we got the
RV and left this life so feels full
circle being back here with you all so
yeah all started yeah we it all started
so we've got a lot of work to do so I
think we're just going to dive in and
decide what pieces we want to keep what
pieces we want to donate and it should
be pretty easy cuz we were out 3 years
ago and moved our personal belongings
back cuz we thought by now we'd be
living in the container house oh yeah we
brought you guys along for that Taylor
and Tanya remember that um but yeah like
even this couch how cool would this be
in the basement like we have the
temporary couch from the the RV yeah got
totes ready I got an organization system
ready we're good to go we're going to
get amped up and get after this let's do
it okay I'm going to go over the
organizing system okay so all the bins I
fre put on a QR code it's called tote
scan so it's just a free app on my phone
they're probably stealing all my data
while we do this but that's okay that's
okay that's we'll know where things are
so all you do when you're starting a new
bin scan label so now once you're into
this bin take a photo and you put the
quantity and you can you can put a title
that means something because the way
this works you can then search so if
you're looking for something say you're
looking coffee maker it will tell us
exactly which bin number so TSS 3x has
two coffee makers and four large plates
these stickers are colorcoded so the
land is green and once a bin is filled
and ready to go you just slap the green
sticker on so when we on load in Nova
Scotia we know that these anything in
the land is going long-term storage and
anything for the lake we're taking with
us that's
okay it's okay to be overwhelmed yeah
it's a lot right but that's why we're in
it together that's why I got you mhm
you're just going to take beautiful
shots and watch me run around and do all
the work yay if you don't have a Todd in
your life you need to find one like you
really do I would never be able to do
this I am the type of guy that would
throw everything into a bin and then
have a panic attack in 6 months where
I'm like where is it I need it now the
dishes and kitchen stuff I want to take
it all over so that all the mugs are in
one bin all the plates all the kitchen
gadgets so for now they're not as
important to inventory like on the scan
it's more so I want all the units
kitchen stuff together does that make
sense all right that section's done wow
that wasn't too bad no yeah I know I'm
fully attracted and I'm hanging on like
a fridge to a magnet just a couple of
burning matches a good time is the best
I think like looking at it it may not
all fit in the truck in one trip so what
might happen is you run trips back and
forth and I'll start permanently packing
it over at the other place okay do you
know what I mean yeah we'll just keep
keep going hit her patter let's get out
you and me we go good together
you and
I go good
[Applause]
[Music]
together okay so is this all the glasses
glasses so let's keep this and we'll top
it up over there
[Music]
yeah it's gravitation and when I see you
it's like a bone to a golden retriever
adds up to an easy equation me plus you
good
[Music]
together lunch time lunch
time so hungry this looks really good
that does look really good that was a
lot just then but we crushed it yeah
like yeah it was the morning but I
thought it was going to take way longer
so what do we think next should we do
the stuff on the table like start to
pack the decor mhm is there anything
that you want to take with us to the
delayed no I'm going have one more bike
for the
[Music]
rad
alive oh what a day to go and leave it
all
behind the sky is
opening with
possibility in
I getting everything input yeah like
sizes and all so that way it when we're
trying to furnish the container house
like we know exactly if it'll fit it's
really smart like it'll be our own
little online like
Amazon on a day like
this now we're ready for a really cool
thing that we've been like so excited
for I hope this works
yeah so we want to bring the mattresses
back because they're perfect for the
container house so they're memory foam
and we found these really large bags
online that you just put over top of it
and then you suck the air out with a
shop back and they're supposed to go 80%
smaller allegedly I don't know cool yeah
we can try it also I'm so glad we got
these so we ordered these beds on Amazon
and were kind of like on the fence at
first cuz they're only like I think 300
Buck but the reviews of our airbnbs
having these people love them love them
well we still use them yeah yeah plus
having a really good mattress protector
on it like we had two a like a
waterproof one and then another one and
it looks brand new yeah like look at it
it's kept it in like brand new shape so
I bet a lot of strangers had sex on it
that's okay it's like an orgy but just
with you and
I less social interaction you
know
all right so what we're going to do is
just put this bag on and start sucking
and get after it I mean I'm hopeful and
optimistic but I don't know it just
seems too good to be
[Music]
sure here we
[Music]
go shake shake the w
shake up
the sh shake this is like serious BL
magic voodoo Dum is involved he was an
early investor Dumbledore is definitely
involved with this this is
unbelievable the that's right we
breaking
through can't stop the party it's true
tell everybody
come it's definitely not as tight though
as when
um that worked so much better than I was
expecting it's like a giant sushi roll
bed now and it's so much more echoing in
here huh yeah well the furniture's gone
just bed frames left but yeah it worked
really really well the thing that I
think sped up a lot was walking on it
cuz if all that air would have taken
forever I think um what I was just going
to say though I think we should do the
other two beds just in case like it's
getting kind of late and the downstairs
tenant like if they come home from work
and like all that we can get the noise
out of the way okay first what do you
think sure we can do that then we can
just take apart the beds and stuff y all
oh yeah let's um let's do it you got the
plug got the
plug boom box Sing sang Everybody Dance
break it down to the sunrise never mind
the fans got the Vibes and you can't
fight you know what it is come Cru to
this Li know you feeling it to we do for
next and you know what we bringing the
best last sushi
roll I think we got better as we went
totally that first one is awful that's
embarrassing that doesn't even get a
participation medal it's so cool though
definitely worth it definitely worth it
how much work do you think it is to take
the beds apart that's I really don't
know but we only have one set of drill
bits I would say 15 minutes a bed so
another hour say another hour hour to
have them apart I think we should do it
okay let's
[Music]
go we way underestimated how much
packing supplies we needed so Todd sent
me out I'm going to Princess Auto to
pick up some more supplies but it's a
really good opportunity to have some
alone time some quiet time um this has
been more of an emotional process than I
think either of us thought that it would
we spent so many years in the house that
we're working on right now and it's um
if feels like the closing of a chapter
and with everything that's been going on
in our personal life the last few weeks
it's a really great time to check in
this is a sponsored portion of this
week's video with better help but guys I
I truly can't say enough great things
about this service it has completely
changed my life I don't have an
appointment today but when I left the
house I messaged my therapist I sent her
a text and said hey are you available to
meet I have some free time in 30 minutes
and she was able to to accommodate me
I'm able to do it from this parking lot
and that is just it's the Testament of
why online therapy works for me I I'm
thousands of miles from home right now
if I had a therapist in Halifax I would
never be able to speak with them and
it's
just just please give it a try you will
absolutely love it it's made me such a
better more well-rounded person I can't
say enough great things about it I'm
going to include the code in the link in
the description box down below if you

month when you use the code Tyler Todd
cannot recommend it enough but I'm going
to jump on this call with her and then
continue on with the
[Music]
packing so we got one of the beds fully
apart but we noticed that the basement
tenant just came home so out of respect
to them we're going to count this as a
win today we've got a lot done a lot way
more than I thought yeah so what we're
going to do is just clear out all of
this stuff throw it in the truck and
then we're going to head over to
property number two and then keep going
it's going to be long days but we're
going to get it done let's throw this in
the
truck ending this inside Dar all I want
to do is be with you
[Music]
tonight wow was so productive yeah
feeling really really good about how
much we got done the truck is very very
full yeah but for now we're headed over
to the other place we're going to unload
this kind of consolidate some boxes and
I think we might have our friend coming
over to help us with it which is nice
and extra hand so and just enjoy some
wine it's been a really long day so yeah
anyway we'll catch up with you guys in a
bit we ended up getting to the second
property Just Before Sunset but it took
a long time to lift in all the stuff
from the truck and get everything
organized but our friend Lacy came over
which was really nice we haven't seen
her in a few
years I missed you missed you too it's
been so long I know how you been that's
good good you want some wine yes it was
awesome to catch up with her we vacuum
packed all of the bedding and all the
towels and sheets look at the difference
though holy and just spent hours and
hours organizing ended up having a
little too much wine yeah it was really
great having Lacy here yeah it was so
great to just like catch up and spend
time with an old friend she's actually
our MC at our wedding so yeah like we go
we're University friends like way back
she's um she's Charlie and Eddie's
emergency contact at the vet even still
so anyway it was great but we want to
get a lot of work done today cuz I think
it would be fun to hang out again
tonight go out for some drinks and stuff
but we realized we didn't give you the
tour of this place when we got here last
night so we want to give you a little
walk through so this is the second
property that we're working on there is
another unit in this place besides just
this one so we'll show you that in a
minute but when you walk in you get the
living room so it's very open Concept in
this one we renovated this this was
actually a really bad condition the
floors were spray painted this was all a
wall we opened up to just make it really
big in here so living area and then over
here it's technically like like a dining
space but it's really small so we just
had a desk here for work area and what
we did in the kitchen was we built this
island with a wraparound bench that has
all kinds of storage in it and then
obviously the island has storage and a
really bright open kitchen for cooking
in which is great yeah and before this
used to be the stairs to go down to the
basement but we turned it into just kind
of like a storage closet and then
created a new ENT on the other side for
the basement apartment yeah like they're
two completely separate units yeah which
is really nice for privacy and all that
sort of thing coming down the hallway
we've got laundry in here and then we've
got a bathroom nothing too fancy you can
do your business and scrub a dub
afterward and then we've got a bedroom
so this one fits a queen bed in it a
linen closet and then another queen bed
in this one and then the third bedroom
is a little bit smaller but it has a
double in it still nice and big for
getting around yeah does the trick it's
a great space for a family that's kind
of I think what we're going to try and
get as a tenant someone who wants to
live here for years and years to come
yeah it's a great area like there's
Parks all around and schools really
close so yeah do you want to go down and
quickly show sure yeah we have to suit
up though it isus 32 I think today so
forgot about this part of AD oh thanks
love you're welcome love look at this I
don't want you to freeze I'm telling you
guys service all right okay we'll meet
you downstairs so this is what we meant
when we said that we created a
completely separate entrance so this
door didn't exist before so when you
come in this is where you used to come
down to the basement so behind this wall
is the closet that we showed you so we
actually used to live in this unit
that's typically what we did we would
move into a place renovate it and then
once it was completely finished we would
move out into the next place that we
were going to Ren so we actually really
loved this basement you though it was
just perfect for all we needed exactly
so this space we made so beautiful this
was literally a dungeon before we
started and now it's it doesn't even
feel like a basement it's beautiful it's
just so big and yeah just perfect really
yeah so much natural light so you come
in through here we made it kind of like
a California Suite style it's called
where there's a bedroom on either side
so if someone wants to move in here that
has roommates it's really no big deal
you're you kind of have your own spot
when we had friends staying over they
were able to have their own space it was
nice it was really nice so this is the
bathroom we got a nice big laundry set
so it's kind of jammed in there but then
we have this nice bathroom really bright
and Airy I love it and then we've got a
bedroom right here on this side this
fits a queen bed so really big and then
this nice living room all the space you
really need yeah we fit a king bed in
here I think that this is probably one
of our favorite Rena that we've done
because of what it looked like before
this was literally a dungeon this is the
one if you listen to the podcast we
found machetes in the ceiling we found
drugs everywhere it was in really rough
shape so I'll see if I can find photos
to throw up yeah I'm sure we have them
somewhere but there's a lot of work to
do here though like as you can see all
of this stuff all of it needs packed
got to go got to go but I think it's
going to be great for the land for the
lake like there's there's obviously a
lot of furniture we need to get so by
packing this stuff up and repurposing it
we're saving oursel money let's go get
to packing I think we start upstairs and
then work our way down cuz yeah it's a
lot to do let's do it okay that is such
great timing the container is just
getting here so when we're were trying
to figure out are we going to move all
this stuff back to Halifax or are we
going to sell it like what is the plan
we got a bunch of moving quotes and by
far pods was the most affordable and I
love that we have complete control over
the move so basically how it works they
drop this container here we load
everything from all of the different
houses that we have and then they pick
it back up when we're ready ship it all
the way back to Halifax drop it off
there and then we unload it and then
they pick it back up and take it away I
think it is the coolest thing ever so
economical and what's best is it's on
our own schedule and our own time look
at this thing getting dropped it is so
cool so bright eh it's really bright
you're all good to go makes a big
difference when you're in here you can
actually see and feel inspired we can
just hang out in here versus the
container that we have at the land so
that's what we're going to do by the way
is when we get this back to Nova Scotia
we're going to unload it and put
everything in that big 40ft one that we
worked on yeah but yeah this is really
bright and yeah it's going to be good
yeah but it's going to be a lot of work
so we're going to bring all the stuff
over we were going to do it today but I
think we'll wait till tomorrow and load
the container all at once I think it's
better because it's like three full
houses of stuff that we're going to try
and fit in here I think we need to be
super strategic and make sure that we
have everything that we're going to
bring rather than you know and I think
we need to be now seeing all the stuff a
little bit more prioritizing like this
is 100% Going Back and this is if we
have the space to take it backo it's so
cold it's really cold okay let's do this
let's do it
okay my camera going to capture up of it
strike a pose and take a pick cuz when
we're
[Music]
old we're going through some stages here
do I take my wine cork collection with
me like I worked really hard to make
this it's a collage of the damage to my
liver okay let's keep at this we got
[Music]
[Applause]
this
this is the
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
life is time lunch time I got to say I
really miss this about the woods yeah
yeah you are going to be very happy
about this this looks good I am starting
to think we were a little bit naive to
think we could do all of this in a week
yeah I don't I don't know how it's
possible all right let's get back to
work it is 4:06 p.m. which means it took
us 6 hours to pack the whole kitchen but
we are finished and it feels great it
was two kitchens actually so oh yeah
that's true we were making progress on
upstairs and downstairs at the same time
cuz it just made sense to have all the
kitchen stuff in the same bin so I was
running back and forth bringing it up so
I think that was really smart yeah it's
looking pretty good though all the bins
yeah it's just so cool to just glance at
it blue is the lake green is the land
Todd did that cuz blue for the water
green for the trees but I'm getting a
little bit nervous on space and we also
didn't do very good at prioritizing bins
like it's all mixed together MH but like
worst case scenario our flight date can
be bumped a day if we need to if we pack
and we're like oh my God we got to purge
more yeah basically scenario obviously
we've just kind of been anything that's
like of value we're like yeah we should
take it but it is kind of making making
us nervous but I think we can fit a lot
though in that old I think so that old
container there but we still got couches
and beds we'll figure it out yeah but
for now we're going to keep going with
the packing theme and go downstairs and
get all the decor and stuff cuz that
needs done we are a bit naive with this
adventure
guys here yeah okay we're going to get
it done
right let's keep going
let's do it we finally finished
organizing all the stuff in the basement
what we decided to do is rather than
packing it down there we brought it up
to the upstairs and kind of made a night
of just organizing everything going
through it all figuring out what we
wanted to keep what we didn't want to
keep we rolled up the carpet it was a
lot of work but we still had time to go
out with our friend Lacy we had some
peach bellinis which has been a
tradition when we lived here so it was
kind of nice to do that again yeah it
was nice to be able to honor that we did
that a lot when we lived here so it was
a nice close to that chapter yeah but
we're having a little bit of a late
start to the morning today but what
we're going to do is head back
downstairs we're going to deal with the
guest bedroom vacuum seal the mattress
put the bed frame inside the headboard
then we'll go over to our old bedroom
and we'll vacuum seal that mattress and
deal with the bed then I got thinking we
are getting better at it though oh yeah
way better like we've got a system going
we know they're way tighter than the
first one we did and then we'll take the
TV off the wall cuz I figured that's
perfect for the basement at the lake and
then while we were down there yesterday
the couch is in really good shape yeah I
think it would be really good to use
that in the container home it would be
like the perfect layout for the living
room so now we need to go rent a cube
van because we need to be able to
transport all of the stuff from the
other place that we've been working on
to here so we can fill it in the
container day three and we're I would
say like 70%
done what do you guys think I think
we're about half I'm going with 7 it
makes me feel better
[Music]
yeah's
wind so we made it to the first property
that we showed you guys and spent
literally all afternoon finishing the
packing from taking apart the beds to
putting the TVs in their boxes and
everything day three broke us yeah I'm
absolutely exhausted like is it day
three or 43 I don't know we were just
talking it's been like almost 40 hours
of packing it's brutal what I want to do
is put this donation stuff in the back
of the cube van so that tomorrow morning
it's not in our way and then we can do
the stuff that we're 100% sending back
with us and then at the very end is the
last couple there's two boxes that I
need to keep working on tonight so I
figured they could go at the end so I
can just quickly pull them out when
we're
there you heard the man
we found we found we found we found
something to hold on to
[Music]
now so we hold
[Music]
on and enjoy the
ride after all the ups and downs this is
our
time enjoy the ride we just finished
loading everything I think it's
hilarious we thought we could do that in
sweaters yeah it got cold
how do you feel um actually quite
sad kind of weird isn't it
yeah I didn't think I'd be sad we spent
a lot of time here little baby Eddie was
born here we conceived him
here we're just going to have a little
[Music]
moment you where are you
now
the chairs are cold the lights are
out all of the ti we
shared
together who could ever ask for
more the only way I could said
goodbye
te s right yeah no this is what I say I
want a
divorce oh man
just yeah it's just weird like it's
done but I'm ready like this isn't our
life
anymore someone else can make memories
here
exactly
by I only wish I could said
[Music]
goodbye
