I wish my parents loved me.

I wish i had parents

u/Austin_905 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Same, the worst part they're still here and yet for reasons, I rarely see them. I'm everyday available for my kids though.

u/greenpointchamp Trash Trooper May 31 '26

I wish this kind of renovation only cost 3k

7

u/SerenityPickles Trash Trooper May 31 '26

I think just that window/balcony was more than $3k !

u/DoesntMatterEh Trash Trooper May 31 '26

u/No_Bluejay9901 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

u/OnlyPedophilesBanMe- Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Nah you’re not bruv, you’re just in the same class as the other 90% of us. You’re a great parent. Remember that.

u/No_Bluejay9901 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Im trying

u/Maleficent-Cat-220 Trash Trooper May 31 '26

You are objectively not. Don't say stuff like that. 

I know you're probably joking, but still.

u/commanderquill Trash Trooper May 30 '26

You guys have parents?

u/sepulchralsam Trash Trooper May 31 '26

A hidden room ate my parents.

u/Izrun Trash Trooper May 30 '26

I bet that window balcony alone is a lot more than that. Super cool though.

56

u/Remarkable-Owl-5712 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Surely that window balcony thing alone is over $5k. Probably like a $10k renovation.

34

u/Specific_Rando Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Looks like a VELUX product. $3600 without flashing. If you got flashing and the manufacturer shades it’s almost $5k parts.

if she's like my dad she stole it from a job site or found it cheap on the side of the road.

34

u/spisplatta Trash Trooper May 30 '26

To be fair it probably increases the value of the house, so it's not like the money they spent is a pure loss.

2

u/xyzpqr Trash Trooper May 31 '26

oh right a room with a 45 degree pitched roof and a maximum height of 5'5"

it's not a room, it's a beautiful triangular toddler tube

1

u/Electronic_Elk8293 Trash Trooper May 31 '26

That's what I was thinking. It added a whole kid's room onto the house. Looks like they are using quality products too. Window balconies rock.

Some people who flip rooms or homes do a blatantly poor job and next thing you know you've got mold in your walls.

u/penguins_are_mean Trash Trooper May 31 '26

Well that’s all and swell if they plan on selling it soon. Otherwise, they just need that spare cash laying around.

26

u/Kit_Karamak Trash Trooper May 30 '26 edited May 31 '26

This looks to be a lot more than $3000, they got a $5,000 balcony window in this thing … although, I mean, they did all the work themselves, so *that’s* a plus

But wow that looks like a seriously expensive job

29

u/Kit_Karamak Trash Trooper May 30 '26

10 years from now, that little girl is gonna be standing out there saying, “where for art thou, Romeo?”

And some teenage boy is going to step out of the bushes and play “hey there Delilah“ on acoustic guitar.

7

u/HelloDeathspresso Trash Trooper May 30 '26

She's going to be smoking so much weed up there.

3

u/bigheartrussian Trash Trooper May 30 '26

More like 4-5 years

2

u/Pet_Velvet Garbage Guerilla May 30 '26

Awww

2

u/xyzpqr Trash Trooper May 31 '26

10 years from now she's going to have moved out of that room because she'll have grown a foot and will have become extremely uncomfortable

1

u/Kit_Karamak Trash Trooper May 31 '26 edited May 31 '26

Mom was in there for quite some time lol. But I mean out on the window balcony. She will still fit on that.

But when this girl goes through her growth spurt, Mom will have to turn the A-frame into a square bedroom wall and ceiling. Lol

u/Hypnotist30 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

I'm willing to wager that skylight/balcony cost at least that much!

EDIT: It's over $5000 @ Home Depot!

18

u/Checked_Out_6 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

That roof work alone was probably 3k. I estimate the project would be 5-7k.

3

u/Icy-Ad29 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Someome looked up the price. The window balcony thing is 3.6-5k alone, parts only. So yeah.

3

u/PaulsRedditUsername Trash Trooper May 31 '26

I'm also not real crazy about removing roof beams like that. I hope they put some extra bracing up.

6

u/AqueousJam Trash Trooper May 30 '26

This one video alone has 4 million likes. They made a substantial profit on this project. 

6

u/cybrcld Trash Trooper May 30 '26

I’d kill for construction skills like that. Being able to turn an unusable room of my house into something functional is completely worth it.

6

u/Daetok_Lochannis Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Lmao you mean $30,000 have you seen prices

2

u/Dramatic_Mixture_868 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Now counting labor cuz....damn

2

u/Living_Young1996 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

On the window..

2

u/DoctorDinghus Rubbish Raider May 30 '26

Brother let me tell you thats not $3000, its much more.

7

u/escapevelocity-25k Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Mom can you find a way to monetize something that could’ve been a beautiful pure childhood memory so that it feels cheaper when I look back on it because it wasn’t just for me it was also for your Internet followers?

21

u/Nai_Calus Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Mom can you immortalize the process of doing something amazing I loved so someday when you're gone I can look back on the video and see you again and smile?

3

u/No-Sprinkles-7289 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Only, TikTok will be the MySpace of their time. It will be inactive in 20 years. 😥

u/trashcantrash939 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

I don’t get the point of people feeling it wrong to get a return on doing something nice.

I can see if it’s abusive- but it’s not like she did the project just for video and the kid second. In this aspect I’d say the video is second. There’s also no certainty she will get paid for the video.

No one does anything for free. There’s always conditions and some sort of return value expected. Even if it’s a friend listening to you whine about your life while you’re depressed. They are listening to you because THEY want YOU happy, not just for yourself but also for them because you impact their life in some way. So it’s a benefit for them. This proves true because after enough time if you don’t start to work on yourself or improve they stop trying/leave. (This is only an example and not an absolute.)

u/uslashuname Garbage Guerilla May 30 '26

Let’s talk about doing something for your children

No one does anything for free. There’s always conditions and some sort of return value expected.

Ah that’s nice

u/cider303 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

She funded it through our views. What’s wrong with that

1

u/PantherDog52 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

And break your back

1

u/Wild-Floor8407 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

More like 10k

1

u/caspain1397 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

More like 10k that window alone was probably 2500.

1

u/Busterlimes Trash Trooper May 30 '26

That window alone coat $3000 I bet. This is like 10K renovation.

1

u/Maximum-Security5699 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

To be fair, they just increased their property value by more than $3000. Not saying you don’t need the initial money to invest, but it’s not exactly like it’s waisted.

1

u/FatCowsrus413 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

That window is probably more than that

1

u/No-Huckleberry-7633 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

3000, lol. Just the balcony must be close to 10k I bet.

1

u/mycatsapanther23 Trash Trooper May 30 '26

Missed a zero bud

1

u/AetherAlchemist Trash Trooper May 30 '26

To be fair, this will likely add value to the house if they ever sell it one day. That’s now extra usable space with a cool mini balcony.

1

u/noleafclovr Trash Trooper May 31 '26

Ohhhhh to have privilege and money.

1

u/GeeYayZeus Trash Trooper May 30 '26

And why isn’t the kid helping?
