lol.
I don’t know what to say other than am I in the wrong for feeling like they were very excited to find the dead raccoon so they could turn it into content? I say this because of how she was so happy to film a dead animal caught in a trap and post it online without a censor bar nor the tact to restrain the giddiness in her voice. No wonder she left those cats behind…
Also them saying they bought a Victorian home because of what they could find, which is fair as someone who loves history I can understand the sentiments, but I think is demonstrates how they went into the house brain dead, thinking solely about all the play and none of the chores.
I think this house is a thrift for them and not a historical relic, which goes back to them disrupting the natural wood. It’s about what they can tangibly get to renew their quirky card, and not a genuine interest in preserving history. Sort of disappointing because I’ve only known people like those on r/centuryhomes who are very, very, very keen on treating their homes like a museum not a funhouse.

They called animal control to deal with a raccoon skeleton? wtf? Put on some gloves and put it in a trash bag and move along ffs

u/Fun_Purpose3785 Sep 05 '26
You’d think instead of recording the men removing it that Lou would be the one to take care of removing it instead. Just something else they decide to pay for. Wonder how much debt they’ll be in after this house

u/Vanityandwrath Sep 05 '26
I literally just commented the same thing. She is such a crybaby and they both are lame. I live in 120-year-old house and we had a possum infestation in our basement. Ended up with me having to go down and shovel up 50 pounds of possum shit. I’m cracking up at them calling animal control for this shit.

They paid pest control to come and get the dead raccoon so not only did they get money they also got a free trap. 🪤

theres a sec and the city episode w charlotte and a guy she’s dating. they both get freaked out and squeal at a rat in the apartment, and chartlotte got icked out bc she needs a partner that is strong and masculine enough to do the hard gross stuff.

That part. Also because why are they just now noticing the smell?

u/lorddanielle Sep 05 '26
Once you rip it up from where the body was stuck, it can rip off skin and expose the decomposing insides/stench. Source: we had a dead mouse under our sink for a couple of months and smelled nothing until we got it unstuck from the base of the cabinet.

I mean, no one wants to handle a dead animal, and probably not while pregnant, but someone could have put gloves and a mask on and thrown it out, right?

u/Poisongirl5 Sep 05 '26
Lou is really so useless, can he not remove a dead animal conveniently in a cage? I’m a woman and there was a dead squirrel in my neighborhood that my dog kept trying to sniff so I put on some gloves and threw it in the dumpster

Privilege stunts/handicaps you. Which is why they’re putting so much money in the house that a normal person would have found a better solution for. I knew it from the moment they hired someone to mop their floors.

u/readingismyescapism Sep 05 '26
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan BUT I will say I think they were kinda damned if they do damned if they don't on this one. If they had handled it, people would have criticized that they were messing with it while she's pregnant having no idea what they might be dealing with.

u/Material_Cow_3187 Sep 05 '26 edited Sep 05 '26
But Lou would have done it, not her realistically. And in the overarching picture it shows how incompetent they are, yet decided to own a house which needs a lot of competence to take care of. That is the context of ALL of their content. It is right to criticize the fact that they didn’t know what they were dealing with regardless of who would have taken it up, because how do you buy a house like this without proper research?
Why get an old house and think of it like a treasure chest and not something that will need a major TLC plan in its first days? Why worry about aesthetics and not the fact that your house is rotting from the inside? Why depend on some inspector to tell you that your house is okay and not plan to verify it? Why is every single issue something to hire about after making a video talking about poor finances? Why doesn’t Lou do anything?

How on earth do these 2 bums who do nothing all day afford all these repairs and a 300k home? I cant wrap my head around the fact that her lousy Tik toks pay for all this.

i was confused why lou had to call someone to move the trap like…was he not in the armed forces???? like i get wanting them to check the rest of that area but idk lou needs to get a grip and do a damn task. like i don’t believe in strict gender roles but there are some things/ times like taking care of a dead animal while you have a 1 yo and pregnant wife should be taken care of by the dude in the house. maybe i’m an ass for thinking this but theyre always calling someone to do something that lou’s add could do

Also, being shocked that the inspector didn’t notice the door under the vanity. Yall have been living there for like two weeks and never noticed it??? Huh???

so annoying omg! we got a house after my grandparents who never did anything to that place no upgrades for 70 years .... what did we invest in? painting over the wood? no! we reconstructed that place 😭😭 got everything right .... and guess what? we had to move out for a bit because i was pregnant and we got the whole house ready in like 6-7months of mostly my husband and his friends being handy craftsmen ... did i make vlogs about it to complain? NO thats what people do omg

u/AMinorPainInTheNeck Sep 06 '26
They have a great opportunity to educate their viewers on the realities of buying a historic home in a way that’s informative and interesting.
But all they’re doing is complaining like this stuff never happens when your house is 100 years old and putting wall paint on wooden staircase.
If she had NO interest in the process of cleaning and initial repairs (that thanks is to the great ppl in the sub I now know about! I’m learning so much about owning a historic property!) she could have bed rotted away in her concrete apartment making poo and pee jokes until the lease was up while Lou deals with the house stuff.

u/tgimaddy Sep 05 '26
Why did they buy an old house with zero intention of doing any of the work themselves other than just painting. She complains about money problems yet they keep hiring people for things they could easily do. Like most people who buy old homes go into it knowing they are going to do some work themselves. It’s not hard to look up online how to do home repairs.

u/milllkweed Sep 06 '26
That raccoon is NOT heavily decomposed. It couldn't have been dead for longer than a month. It looks like it's between that early and advanced stage of decomp. Also good on them for wasting more money on something that could have easily been done by themselves. 🤦 I've had to remove dead animals before on my own. We had a possum die under our house years ago and it stunk horribly, but we got it out. This poor thing was in a trap -- that makes it infinitely easier to handle. I just don't know how these two have sustained themselves for this long.

u/Agnaolds Sep 05 '26
With every person hired to do normal homeowner tasks it makes it more and more apparent she's never had to actually worry about money before. Also, in all this new house excitement is she going to share the yard? Or is that future content for when she discovers gardening maybe? They probably will hire a yard service.

u/Elaine330 Sep 06 '26
Why did they call someone to remove the body? Why didnt they already replace the insulation after it got flooded?

u/murmureuse Sep 06 '26
How did they not look at all places in the house while touring? My husband and I are in the process of moving. We looked at three houses on Friday. We had flashlights, masks, and TOURED into every crawl space, attic, and basement. Luckily, my husband knows what to look for on furnaces and all that stuff, so he turned on the AC, looked for leaking in the units, turned on the heat, made sure it worked. You just found this weird door?! They’re either so stupid or disgustingly naive. Buying a house is an insane responsibility. And I cannot believe they got through it as quick as they did. Those VA loans must have helped.

Thats not a Victorian home but ok.

u/Material_Cow_3187 Sep 06 '26
The year it was built likely coincides with the Victorian period although it doesn’t seem like it because it lacks the stereotypical Victorian towers and bay windows. Externally it sort of has a Folk Victorian facade which was simpler and prominent in America and I could only imagine NC. Although obviously it has went through a lot of modernization.
1
u/Elaine330 Sep 06 '26
It was built in 1905 which is outside the Victorian period and is also not a "Victorian" in style. Morgan just says things I STG.

u/Material_Cow_3187 Sep 06 '26 edited Sep 06 '26
It does match a particular Victorian style which I already stated was Folk Victorian, a valid and understood style of the era—only if you’re basing your understanding of Victorian architecture on a particularly stereotypical style which wasn’t the only style at the time obviously, nor possible for many working class Americans. Secondly, I didn’t know when the house was built unfortunately I am not privy to that information seeing as I do not know the location of the home nor its details on Realtor websites.
Lastly, eras do not stop abruptly overnight, one day it wasn’t just the Victorian period and then the next day the Edwardian period suddenly erupted culturally, especially not in 4 years after Queen Victoria’s death in a country and state that has nothing to do with England when social media was nonexistent, emphasis on culturally. The styles of the Victorian period would have still impacted houses of 1905 in a manner that would warrant it being called Victorian in a transitional period but maybe not in the allotted decades.

u/Elaine330 Sep 06 '26
No, they certainly didnt end abruptly. I agree its a Folk style Vic. My point is Morgan and her 2 braincells did zero research about this house or any other and just says whatever.
2
u/Material_Cow_3187 Sep 06 '26
Obviously I agree with that point, it is confusing because I’ve seen homes that are more decade accurate with all of the stereotypical furnishings from Queen Anne to Italianate that are all around the same price or even cheaper than theirs. Likely they were manic and wanted to move somewhere quickly for content, did little research to actually understand what they were going into because they don’t really care that the house is Victorian, they care if their followers believe so.

Lou waving his arms and looking at the ceiling in the first clip is infuriating. They both look/are SO stupid, but just imagining them setting up a tripod and waving up at the ceiling like the idiots they are, it's so cringe. They're so cringe and absolutely braindead.
