Secret Rooms in Our Dream Home!

Having a secret room was my dream as a kid! So cool that you found a way to include that for your kids. Thanks to you and them for being willing to show them off! P.s. Lets be honest, it's still my dream to have a secret room lol.

used to watch you guys when I was little. It’s crazy to see how different you guys have changed. Keep on being awesome

cant believe this was built 4 years ago, it feels like i watched the house building series yesterday. Love your vids❤

Claire's secret room is the winner for me. It's sweet that she has decorated with photos of her friends and family. Such a sweet kid.

I love the little extra rooms for each of the kids tucked away in the wasted attic space. Lately I have actually been thinking about doing something similar in our home and converting a portion of our attic into a small extra hangout type of space for the kids. I just need to do some research to figure out what it would take to make this work.

Everything about your home is so beautiful. Watched the entire build and you made some great choices. I wish your family many happy years there! Before you know it, you'll need space for grandchildren to visit too :)

Dan, you need what they call & use in tiny homes & ships. It's called a ship ladder. You will love them. They are so comfortable to walk up & down on. They are very step, but your not going to run up & down them. Please check them out. They will save your feet. Have a wonderful day and God bless, Chris from Missouri

Dan and Leslie, you have such a beautiful house, those secret rooms are really amazing. We are from the Netherlands and drove by your house 1 time when we were on vacation but obviously didn’t want to bother you. We are really curious if you’ll ever build another house as you once spoke with Jonathan about a house in a gated community.

As somebody who is blind and visually impaired, I totally love your videos, especially the videos of your house, and the whole 9 yards! You guys have done some very nice house tours, you’re very descriptive on your videos, and those secret rooms are something else! You always make my day whenever you post something on YouTube! Keep up the hard work, and I hope to see some more videos sometime soon. Of course, even though I am blind, visually impaired, home, improvement is one of my big-time hobbies!

London is a mini Leslie!! I can’t believe how old she is now!

Haven't gotten a notif from this channel in a while, nice to see you folk are still happy and wholesome. Thank you for making my day.

i love that you guys have used the space in your home that most people would have left unused otherwise i have always had this massive issue with poor planning and not using space efficiently and you guys really did an amazing job on your home i was very surprised that you decided to sell but it’s an amazing opportunity to do it again it would be really cool when the time comes it would be very interesting if you guys did something with fire suppression it would be interesting anyway good luck with the future move

It’s crazy to me I used to watch you 6 years ago when I was 17 and go see how far you guys have come is truely incredible.

You should have set up the ladders in the girls closet as shallow shelves for sweaters, shoes or smaller stuff. The shelves can have a more narrow width without raising any questions about purpose. A half round dowel edge trim helps keep items, especially shoes, from sliding off the shelf. The trim also serves as the toe hold when using the shelves as a ladder, some “L” shaped low walls at the top of the hatches will make it more safe and provide a seat allowing you to swing your legs to stand from seated entering the room. If you put a handhold on the wall to the edge of the hole, it will apply more security when accessing the ladder after swinging the legs back through the hole. There are escape hatches you can get added to the roof. I’m excited for your eventual grandbabies, if you still have that house! My husband and I have started working on plans to create a hidden path in the woods behind our house. I can’t wait to create discoveries for him to find on our adventures. All the fairy homes and frog villas he reads about in his books.

For the Ladders you could have used the ones whose steps kind of rotates. So when they are in "CLOSED" position, they look exactly like the ones in Lincoln and Claire's rooms, but we you put them in "OPEN" position the steps rotate 90 degrees and becomes like a normal ladder.

This video is a trip of nostalgia. It makes my eyes water, i makes me think about how fast time goes by.

Now show us the secret bunker!

I had a job inspecting houses yearly, went into one that had one that reminded me of Harry Potter.... it had this tiny door under the stairs in the basement, designed for their young son, and on the other side it was relatively small (yet my big butt would've been comfortable hanging out in it) but they had painted one of the walls with that chalkboard paint and was decorated very cutely, I loved it. I've even seen secret passages that use those plastic playground slides from the main floor to the basement, it was awesome.

All those rooms are really cool but the network room is definitely my favorite with all that tech. I though I had a lot of tech with 1 network rack filled with stuff and you have 3!

I noticed in the corner of Lincoln’s room there is a panel box with something, and in the area near where you enter Londons room there is also a panel box I was curious about what those are for. They looked like the covers that they would use for plumbing, but I saw wires going through.
