- I’m so excited to be sharing a VERY requested video. As many of you know, I’ve been renovating my rental apartment for the past 2 years. Upon moving in, my landlord gave me permission to paint and renovate as I so pleased. He has yet to see how I transformed the space and in today’s video I’m giving him a tour! This was his first time being upstairs in years (he is older and has a hard time going up stairs). I told him about my video idea and he was so excited!! With my assistance and the help of a desk chair, he was able to tour the entire space!

Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed. Leave any future video ideas you would like to see in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe!
I hope you do a makeover for him. I saw that others commented on making it accessible for him and I would second that. Making a space so a person can stay in it as they age is a great concept.
I would love to!!! Give this comment a thumbs up if you also agree :)
Yes Drew, you are a sweet guy, you would be even sweeter if you helped out Roger with his own space. It would make his days so much brighter!
Yes,I agree!
There are not enough make overs to make it accessible.
Yes Drew … I understand for mobility issues it would be so much easier for him being on the ground floor… and the renovation doesn’t have too be too drastic because this took you two years to transform… but maybe find out what is his favorite space in his house and now make that his dream favorite space
Your landlord could not possibly be any cuter! I would love to see you do a room makeover for him. He kept saying through the whole time now he needs to redo this and that… I think he needs a lone fox makeover! Great episode!
Yes!! And I don’t know if Drew normally charges for makeover videos, but I would be happy to contribute to cover any cost
YES HOW SWEET!
Agreed!
Exactly my thoughts. It would be so sweet if the landlord gets a lonefox makeover!!
Totally agree, landlord's like this don't come around too often. He got a lot of content from this apartment. It'd be like a thank you goodbye
“I don’t think you’re crazy, I think you’re awfully good” roger warmed my heart. What a genuine and lovely man
He’s like a proud kid showing his dad what he did.. it’s adorable
Aww, that's exactly as this feels! 🥰
Roger seemed very sincere and truly loved that makeover and decor! Great job!
Yes!! I was really getting those vibes. It’s so sweet
His comments "Oh my goodness!!" and "I'm going to have to raise the rent" Roger is a sweetheart and so animated! I hope you keep in touch with him 💕
He should lower the rent. The redesign added significant value!
@@shinylittlegoldfish yes, he should.
But at the same time, he didn't ask for the renovations. The tenants decided to do it and he gave them freedom to do so.
He is a sweetheart, but he is not obligated to lower the rent.
@@shinylittlegoldfish Drew is moving out and into his new home soon! I say Roger can definitely raise the rent for new incoming tenants!! ❤️
@@Ireenne naturally, when the tenant moves, he takes everything apart with him, that he renovated. after all, in the contract, it reads to leave the place as it was when moving in. tenant is a sweetheart, but he is not obligated to add value.
@@Redmanticore it would would be such a waste to do so. I hope this time the tenant and landlord decide not to do it.
How a person treats the elderly says so much about their character. You are gold!
So very true.
Yes so kind
I was just thinking the same!
I thought the same thing! Drew you are the real deal!! 🥰
Drew not only talented , but such a kind and beautiful soul!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are very lucky to have such a permissive and accommodating landlord as Roger. And, of course, he is also incredibly lucky to have you. That apartment is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for letting us in to see it -- especially on such a sunny day.
I loved everything about this, especially your kind and respectful manner toward your landlord. I am sure he is happy you are his tenant.
It’s easier when you find a landlord who isn’t awful. I haven’t yet. Mine don’t care if you have heat or water. And it was $1,000 a month plus electric.
How absolutely beautiful Roger’s reaction in your respect and kindness for his property. I’m sure he is over the top thrilled with what you have done. Gorgeous. Love this video. Thank you.❤❤
Can i just say that as someone who works with the 'elderly', this video is heartwarming. Many people don't realise that there are so many elderly people who are lonely. I'm not suggesting that your landlord is, but it is nice for someone 'younger' engaging so positively with someone older. You not only renovated a beautiful property but you also helped your landlord financially. Many people think that those who own homes are well off, although this may be the case sometimes, many elderly people who own homes, have the rent as their main or only income. You did good!
Totally agree. It's a shame about Covid and Roger having to isolate as I'm sure Drew and Marie would have become firm friends with him if they could have. Still better late than never. Would love to see Drew Reno at least one of Rogers rooms for him.
My thinking exactly, the healthcare that is inevitably on the horizon, the extra he can charge will no doubt make a difference in his very distant future care!
@@jmk1962 Roger has passed away
😢😢
Lord have mercy, this was a great video. I hope HGTV takes notes, because this is how you do a genuine heartfelt reveal. Rodger won the lottery for the best tenant ever and you got the best landlord ever. Seriously. Some landlords won't even let you change the curtains. Marvelous video, Drew❤️
-Megan
Reading my mind about HGTV: these images of Drew & Roger will make for a great intro to Drew’s new show some day soon! 👍
Thank you so so much
Submit to HGTV for Drew folks. If we all band together & overwhelm them with Drew's talent & potential...😍
@@madeline795 yes! Uniquely Drew!
@@nancyslider645
Great name Nancy! " Uniquely Drew" sounds perfect!! 🔥 what do you think Lone Fox aka Drew?
This is the most heartwarming, beautiful thing I've ever seen on KRplus. I watched the entire video with my heart in my throat. He was so sweet! And you were so gracious and gentle with him. I love how you wheeled him around in your chair to make it easier for him to get around. What a precious older gentleman and the way he reacted to everything was just... so, so sweet.
Same.....so so heartwarming and I'm almost in tears while watching ❤❤❤❤
I do believe you are every landlords dream tenant! The work you have done is amazing! ❤️
The elderly gent is everyones dream landlord
The remodeling and decor are outstanding!
"This is gorgeous, I'm gonna have to raise the rent!" Had me LoL'ing for awhile. Your landlord is precious and hilarious.
You should negotiate a rent decrease based on the increased value you've added to his property! 😀
I laughed too for five mins!!!
This is funny, until it isn't. I once rented a house where I had to take two 4-tonne truckloads of garbage and clean for a week before we could move in. I painted rooms and it was a really nice place. Landlord was a horrible person wanted to raise the rent because "I could get much more for this place than you are paying". The real estate agent (who couldn't stand her) stepped in and said, "well if you want to raise the rent you'll also have to do x, y, z". She backed off. We lived there for 17 years.
Landlords such a sweetheart. That statement "I need to raise the rent" made me laugh.
It was perfect! Perfect humor!!!
You made his day, his week, his month... you brought him great pride and joy having you as a tenant and treating his home with such respect. I bet he'd love to have you eat lunch with him maybe on the patio every so often!
A bit late though cos Drew has just bought a house and is moving out.
@@jmk1962 His new house is litterly around the corner from this appartment, I think he can stop by every once in a while if he wanted too.
@@jmk1962 no way! Wow, what a gift to the landlord that he now has such a spectacular apartment to either move into himself, or rent out. The whole place is stunning!
Yes, most landlords worried about damage they might have to fix that exceeds the deposit. He surely can increase the rent for all the charm you added.
He’s the luckiest landlord ever . You’ve added huge value to his property. Love it.
The twinkle in his eyes shows awe, happiness and appreciation 💕
The only thing more beautiful than your flat is the way you cared for Roger throughout the tour, both physically and with gentle kindness and consideration. 💞
That's exactly what I wanted to comment... so beautiful!❤️
I agree! You and your landlord are both blessed in having come into the other's life! You are were so sweet with Roger (he seems like an amazing landlord) and you are so incredibly talented. Just wonderful!
I came here to say the same. What’s sweet and caring guy your are! Such a good heart
Well said.
Bringing the beauty and grace!
that.
honestly a video doing your landlords house would be precious!!! making it accessible for him, but beautiful as well, that man deserves nice things!
I concur!!!!
Yes! He should totally do his unit!
Yes I vote yes
It would be nice if he (1) would sell you the home (2) appear on your show as a fun consultant (3) lower your rent and 4) pay no rent in exchange for remodeling his home. ❤ Truly a work of art. ❤
I hear where you're headed, but suggesting a lowering of the rent is something he would have to offer, not that "we" could ever request. We don't know his financial circumstances.
I am in love with the size of this apartment!! Most landlords today divide the hell of a sizable apartment to get as many units as possible. That you were able to upgrade to your taste is just the icing on the cake!! Absolutely fabulous!!
The smile on Rogers face and the happy sparkle in his eye...you could tell he is so impressed and just flabbergasted by the improvements! Take pictures as it is and give them to him. He could use them to show future tenants how awesome the place can be!!!! Thank you for doing this for him and us and thank you for being gentle with an elder!! Huggs!
Oh yes!
and that was so very sweet of him, being so gentle with the elder.
Yes of course!! I’m going to send him photos of the space :)
When Roger said “I don’t want to change it I want to move in” ❤️ what a gem of a human
Okay, I've waited way too long to watch this and couldn't stop smiling the entire time. What an absolute sweetheart he is. Man, that made my whole day.
I am so sad to hear that he passed away. What a wonderful man!
You’re so gentle with your landlord. The respect is so endearing.
I agree
What a sweet landlord. 😀😘🏠 💯 You are too sweet, Great job 😀 ***** !!!!!
I love the way he's carefully helping Roger with his mobility.
I agree, good vibes all over...lovely people, lovely place!
This was so heartwarming to watch ❤.
This brought tears to my eyes that a young person would be so kind to an old gentleman like that .The apartment was absolutely gorgeous but the gentleness you had for your landlord was outstanding ,especially in this day and time . You are a special and unusual kind of man . You are the kind that should be rewarded !!!!!!!!!!! You got my subscription with pleasure !!!!!!
I agree! They have a sweet relationship!
So sweet
I agree. I don't like it when I see young people dismiss or be unkind to the older generation.
Echo!!! 💛💛💛
The Reason why he is so Caring is because he has a feminine demeanor…. (EFFEMINACY) Homosexual, so this male/female acts like a Female therefore that’s where this all comes from. But many MALE Heterosexuals are the Same, just most Homosexuals are Very ZEALOUS in “ FEMININE” qualities. Funny because I never understand why Homosexuals are like this????? Because Clearly Women (real born FEMALES made by God with a REAL VAGINA) DO NOT act like that!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You two deserved each other. He couldn't ask for a better tenant and you couldn't ask for a better landlord!
"Fabulous!" West Hollywoodian for "I'm overwhelmed."
Seeing the genuine joy and appreciation of your landlord, choked me up. He was so kind and generous with the comments in every room. Have you ever thought about offering to do a room for him in his space? Not for money....to repay kindness and gratitude. And of course, you would film it for your channel. The world needs more kindness!
Im so here for this! I hope Lowe's or RH sponsors this video!
THIS. God Bless @Lone Fox 's Heart. So often, renters take the attitude of not improving the space because 'it's not theirs'. I think like Drew...If I'm there it's going to be the best I can make it, of course with the landlords permission. I think it would be awesome if Drew made Uncle Landlord one of his future 'projects'. It is lovely to witness Love in Action in a hurting world.
@@daapsdesign Yes! Pull Up Sponsors.
You both lucked out with each other. He's so chill and was completely unbothered by any renovations you might've made over the years, and truly meant it! My landlord would've been all over me for any changes, especially if he lived right below me. And Roger ended up with a tenant with an incredible eye and managed to improve his rental!
Warms my heart! I love what you wrote. I just LOVE this channel.
Yes I'm always amazed at renters being able to do anything in their places. Any rentals here in Queensland I've had or been involved with, you can't even put a picture up on the wall if there isn't already a nail hole there.
@@loissaedder2214 I had asked prior to moving in as it was a big request of mine!
@@lonefox yes I know you did that. In the end you have vastly improved the value of the unit. I'm sure your landlord is very appreciative.
@@lonefox you lucked out! My family was a renter and we couldnt even paint the ugly yellow walls. And we wanted to buy new windows bc the old ones were aluminum and were drafty and couldnt open them and couldnt even see through them bc they were so old and he didnt want us to. Your landlord is so kind and especially when he didnt mind if you teared the wall down🤣
"Gorgeous! Now I need to redo EVERYTHING!!! Give me a break!" - Love this man
I loved Roger as soon as I saw him!😍 such a precious man. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all landlords were as great as Roger?! Beautiful home.
Roger is so adorable! I'm glad he wasn't upset by any changes. He gives off some great "Encouraging Grandpa" vibes; I hope you keep in touch with him.
And when you've reminded your New Place please let him see the before and after remodel am 76 and I adore You been telling You for some time How wonderful You & Maria are and Also McCenna & Romeo as Well ; As You Guys Have won the Hearts of so Many People...across this Planet
Drew, I just love seeing a young person interacting with the elderly. They tend to live a very isolated life. You and your camera person were so kind spending time with your landlord. I know the time you spent with Roger was very special to him. You are a good egg kiddo. P.S. the apartment is beautiful.
I prefer older ppl .... They're so level headed!
Today's young are Karen's/Kent's! Thank you public education for corrupting or youth
@@tamijoiskewl *I love old people 2*
Ditto!!!
@ro-ro-roasted Drew is Z generation no doubt!! 👏👏
This video is pure joy. Roger is a delight and this kid should be very proud of himself. Just beautiful.
Most landlords would be very resistant to changing their house. I love that this man gave him the freedom to update his home and then truly loved the transformation. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Your parents raised a wonderful human being! All the best to you!
I agree! He is a treasure!!
Rewatching again today, remembering this gent. He’s so so sweet, sad that he’s gone!
Awwww, he's such a sweet elder gentleman. He's so impressed with the makeover.
It’s so nice to see a landlord and tenant getting along… that’s very rare 😊
I think any landlord would love this tenant.
well, perhaps is his good karma
I wouldn't say it's rare to have a good landlord. Especially when it's a private home, you get what you give.
I absolutely love my landlady and am grateful to have her, especially right next door. My place is nice, the rent is ridiculously cheap, and if something needs fixing, she's on it. I in turn take care of the place and always pay my rent timely. 🙂
@@kck9742 As a Landlord, I treat my tenants very well. I stay on top of all requests. I have a good relationship with them all. It's great having tenants like you. I have 3 rules I give every tenant: 1. Pay your rent. 2. Take care of the place. 3. Don't move unauthorized people in. My rents are very low. Good for you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Roger is a gem. But honestly how priceless to have someone live in your home who turns it into something so incredibly special. You have only gone and added to it's value. Beautiful
I know you’re so right I can’t believe it’s a an apartment. He’s made it at home.
For 4 years, I rented out a condo, and I never had the luck with tenants that this man has had. He's very fortunate!
You're absolutely correct...he had pride of owning a nice space wherever he lived & besides, he's got a channel that he needs to feed with new stuff to write about...so it made perfect sense for him to do that...love3 what he does!
I lived in an apartment building for 10 years and changed three apartments in that time. When we bought a house and told the landlord that we were leaving the building because we needed a bigger kitchen, he offered us the penthouse for next to nothing (5,000 sf) and said I could do whatever I wanted. But I moved out as I'd never lived in a single family home and wanted to experience that. I regret leaving the high rise!!!🤣
As I watched this , I paid more attention to Roger. He was so over joyed in what you have done. You have made him so happy. You are amazing young man. Love you for giving what you do best. I live in western Oklahoma in cattle country. I am a retired Home Care person.
The respect you have for the elders are my goals now. God bless you for this.
Your landlord is absolutely adorable! Such a sweet sweet man. He’s so “ with it”! I think he really appreciated all you have done. You have upgraded his property and it will allow him to raise his income. Win, win!
Hi how are you doing?
"You have upgraded his property and it will allow him to raise his income. Win, win!"
whats the win part for the tenant?
@@Redmanticore I think it allowed Drew to live as he wished in a place that he loved with no restrictions. He had the pleasure of decorating to suit his tastes. That’s a win!
Loved his initial impression: "I'm gonna have to raise the rent!" And then your reaction was priceless! Beautiful place!
So funny that he stated that he should raise the rent. The first rental we had as newlyweds, we asked permission to update and upgrade, and with permissions granted we managed to make it a beautiful place.
Then the landlord raised our rent!!! 😮😮😮
Roger is the loveliest man ever! This was so incredibly heartwarming.
I have seen A LOT of rental-friendly makeovers, but this one’s a first where you let your landlord see what you have done with their property. Absolutely heartwarming episode!
Watching his face light up in every room was absolutely heartwarming to watch. You can tell how much he appreciates how you’ve respected the place and given it so much character during your stay
The design. The execution. The delight. The positivity.. This video made my day. ❤
You should totally take him up on sprucing up his place. Especially since he doesn't leave his house. I'm sure it would add joy to his world.
I think Roger's apartment needs to be a series! Help out this sweet, sweet man! He's an absolute gem!
Great idea!
What a treasure! I love him because he encouraged Drew's creativity without even knowing his capabilities, and he was so grateful and supportive. What I love about Drew showing Roger the apartment is that this poor soul has been confined to his home for a few years and you just know that the renovations are going to be the center of all his conversations for the next while. Drew, if you have photos of the spaces, maybe you could give him some copies so he can show it to his friends and family. Love this.
Omg, that’s a great idea re giving him photos. I have a dad in a similar situation and it’s true, their world can become so small. You’ve opened it up and I’m sure he’s going to be delighted to tell his friends and family about the work you’ve done and his experience being in your video!
Yes, Drew, please!!!
What a great idea you had! ☺
I hope Drew give him some before/after photos🤞
Yes please ! And make it into a portfolio & give the real estate guy a copy as well so he could show it to future renters. The value of the property will go up & future renters will also be hesitant to make changes/repaint it
This video was so touching! Anyone would be lucky to have you as a renter! So great that Roger also benefited by letting you have your way with the place.
You are so talented. You have a trusting Landlord and you rewarded his trust! Sweet guy.
Love Roger! He reaction is honest and am sure you made his day. I had an elderly woman as a landlord years ago and repainted and made some upgrades to the apartment. She was thrilled when I brought her through. We ended up becoming great friends and I would help her out when she needed anything. It was such an honor to get to know her and if I was down she would give me wonderful advice and always made me feel better. I loved to hang out w/ her and listen to her stories. She passed and I had to move on as her kids sold the house. I guess my point is if you have an elder in your life, spend some time with them. I promise, you will make their day and they will give you nuggets of wisdom you won't get anywhere else. Cheers.
Soo true.😊
Yes they love being valued and their knowledge & life experiences are nuggets of gold or as indigenous we say "our kaumatua (old people) are taonga (gifts)....🔥🌞✨😌💛
Thank you for saying that. It seems that western culture has lost it’s respect and compassion for their elders. Instead we want only to judge what they may have gotten wrong never considering that we too would probably have done the same things if we were born and raised in their eras. We all need more compassion, listening, respect and love for our fellow humans. ALL of our fellow humans regardless of age, race, sex etc.
Thats beautiful, sorry your loss!
I love this and so totally agree. We can learn so much from our seniors.
"I'm gonna have to raise the rent!" Lol, Roger is pure delight! I love his reactions and excitement over his own house! You're truly blessed to have such an open minded and respectful landlord! I don't know ANY other that would give you such control and freedom to express yourself! It's mutual though, bc you have taken great care and thought in renovating such an old historic home; it's gorgeous! You definitely had a vision and brought it back to life, well done! You seriously did an amazing job and it's fantastic! I know I'm repeating myself, but it's absolutely stunning! If you have time and he lets you, PLEASE renovate Roger's for him. I'm sure he would be thrilled! By the way, this is my absolute favorite video of yours. It's genuine, heartfelt, artistic, and just beautiful! 🤗🥰😍❤️ Timeless character...!🏡
My landlord came over, saw my makeover, I rented from her. She couldn’t believe it, she just kept liking around with her mouth open. Next month she put it on the market for sale. Typical.
@@RoyalFlush7096: It’s landlords like her that give them a bad name-greed.
@@RoyalFlush7096 thats so sad😥
@@RoyalFlush7096 thats terrible
@busted flush...imagine if to her surprise you returned the apt back to it's original condition as many leases indicate, but to do so unexpectedly you'd have to mirror her character...
There are so many people who whinge and complain about their living conditions because it's private rental, they wouldn't even change a light bulb,this young man is prepared to do something for himself, and has created an absolutely stunning home.well done.🥳🥳🥳.
Your video reminds me of when my husband and I first got married (in 1989) and rented the big downstairs apartment from my great grandfather. After we were done decorating, we had him come downstairs to see it. He was 89 years old at the time. When he stood on the carpet in the front parlor he said, "wow, it's so thick. I think I'm going to tip over." My entire life, growing up, we were never allowed to use that front parlor, so it felt good being able to make it into a usable space. My great grandfather had purchased that house in 1925. It had all of the original clear cypress wood trim, and every few years he would pay someone to come in and strip off the clear coat and recoat it, so it always looked brand new. The front parlor had beautiful French doors going into it. I really miss that house. I was the 4th generation to live in that house. You did a beautiful job redecorating your apartment! Glad your landlord like it. ❤️😊
PLEASE decorate your landlords apartment! Oh my goodness he's such a sweetheart! I love him!
I so badly want to see him have his space transformed too 🥹🥹
That would be awesome to see!
Drew, I am so impressed with how polite and respectful you are, with Elders... Yes, you can design and redo, top marks there, but its your sweet and honest personality, that shines through. You treated Rodger with the utmost respect, and for that, I commend you young man. Well done!!
I love the way he kept saying "it's beautiful".
This is one of my favourite episodes. I come back to it from time to time. We could only wish you did his apartment makeover. That would have been so much fun and. meaningful for him.
Roger is a gem!
I couldn't imagine being his age renting out my second floor apartment to some young kids who are on KRplus then are coaxed upstairs to discover this masterpiece!
Bravo and well done.
💚
First time watching this channel. This warmed my heart... To all those older folks who feel that they have nothing to give to younger people, you are so loved and so needed. The freedom and support Roger gave the designer helped him create this beautiful apartment. The smile on both of their faces says it all. Can I have him as my grandpa, pleeeeease??? 😁
What a beautiful comment! ❤️
I loved this comment so much! Thank you for the sweet words
Right?! I have no grandparents. I'll take one Roger, please! ❤️
I have so admired your work as you worked your way from room to room. It was a joy to see the completed space with Roger. You have such a gift and I am so thankful we get to see your work. Don't ever doubt your gifts. Hands down you are the best DIYer on You Tube. Wishing you only the best on your next "big" endeavor. I've no doubt your house will be a masterpiece when you are finished.
I love how respectful & kind you are to Roger!
So glad you did this before he passed. We go through life so busy and miss moments regret it later....but thank goodness you took the time to just breathe and catch those opportunities to be kind. That is where the heart of your channel is, Showing the more human side of your life. There are some very interesting stories people have to share. The people you work the people who are hired on to do tasks, shopkeepers and friends all give the human touch to your videos. This is what makes your vidoes extra interesting and connect stronger with your audience. Your a family. So keep looking for those opportunites. If your workers are playing music and having fun as they do their work, go over and talk to them. What are their names? What are their stories? This is what is going to distinguish you from just another decorating channel.
Roger is a delight! I enjoyed seeing how excited he was over everything you did. Everyone should be so lucky to have a landlord like Roger!!!
I must add -you're both great tenants for landlords too as you have pride living in a beautiful space you both created. Pride of being where you are & who you are...is important. I think you'll score lots of great aloha!
What a gem, right?
@@sandram2362 I agree. If you want a good landlord you have to also be a good tenant.
@@Ireenne they are mutually blessed!!
As an aging landlord myself, I will say that Roger is also lucky to have someone like this young man who both takes pride in his home and has the skill and drive to do what he did. Without gutting the place. I would love to have tenants like this.
You can see in Roger’s eyes how much he appreciates having a renter that took the time, energy and resources to really liven up his property. He’s such a sweetheart!

If someone spent their money improving my property, you wouldn't just see it in my eyes, I'd be doing cartwheels. That's money in the bank for landlords.
@@rcelestefelix9299 I don’t think Roger is able to do cartwheels given his limited mobility in the video
God Bless you! I owned a Duplex as my very first home, having grown up extremely poor,and Homeless, it was a dream to own a home. I live in New York , where tenants were allowed to trash, destroy , and live rent free. After losing all the money to my name to put it back together each time , I lost it after 12 horribly painful years. This brought such joy to my heart, see what happens when you are decent, the life you’ve added to your Landlord through all of your hard work to His Home?? A blessing for sure! Thanks for posting this, one day I hope to own a home again , never a duplex where I am at the mercy of renters, it broke my heart , I lost years of my life. 🙏👍
Drew! Your parents have raised you so well to be such a gentle soul and compassionate about the world around you and the things you love...Roger is a reflection of Drew's passion through another person's eyes... Just beautiful...And Roger is such a humble and jolly good fellow ❤️
I'm an elderly landlord, and most of my tenants are 20-50 years younger than me. I love the relationship we see here. If you've lived in apartment complexes managed by faceless corporations most of your adult life, try a small-time landlord and see what a difference a direct relationship can make. It's a partnership where both can benefit.
I usually have to spend the first year of a tenancy convincing my poor wounded tenants that I don't have horns and fangs...
We experienced that for 2 years and our landlord was so lovely that he gave us bottles of wine at Christmas. He was a good man.
I’m a landlord of 20 houses with 30 more in the works. Like you, I also get a lot of feedback about how frustrating it is to rent from big companies. Many of my renters are relieved to experience the difference made by an actual landlord tenant relationship. I have several tenants that have stayed with me for years and some repeat renters. I’ve even got lots of letters of recommendation from them.
As a renter turned home owner, I cannot imagine the amount of trust that it must take to let someone live in a property we own. Ooph. Someone can really destroy a property in no time.
@@kelly-bo-belly Yes, I have had great tenants who cared for my property and others who were awful and trashed the place or difficult to deal with
I've lived in my block for 11yrs , I've seen my landlord twice
I’m balling because roger has the most beautiful soul and I want him to be my grandpa!! Thank you for being so kind and respectful towards him
Give him a makeover for his unit I guarantee he will leave u the house in his will trust me u did an amazing job 🙏
He is such a lovely old man🥰 he has humor and encouraged everything you did. There needs to be more people like both of you. Kind, caring, and overall lovely
Repent to Jesus Christ “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

That's what I love about him. The tenant was *encouraged* and given carte blanche to do as he wanted. We need more people like his landlord in this world.
Watching this after learning of Roger's passing, you can see what a wholesome and gracious soul he had. RIP Roger. What a beautiful memory you got to share with him, Drew.
It touches my heart whenever i see young people interact with the elderly with such kindness and respect ❤
How sad. What a lovely man. I'm sure that made his day though!
😢 this made me so sad 😢😢😢 RIP Roger ❤
Who ends up owning the property now? I’m guessing the next owner isn’t gonna be as friendly as Roger and might demand the unit to be brought back to it’s original state just to be a d*ck.
This is just beautiful. I’m so glad you recorded this. I’m sure his family would enjoy watching this moment. ❤🥺😢
Omg he’s our grandpa now!! I love him!! He’s so genuinely in love with how it all came out. Y’all made his entire day going get him and letting him be a part of it all. He’s probably lonely
You updated and improved the man's property with style... why wouldn't he like it! He gave a _businessman's reaction_ 'Gotta raise the rent!'
This was the most precious thing I've seen in a while.
Who wants to see Drew redo Roger's place? I bet Roger has some gems in his space. :)
I was thinking the same thing the whole time. Roger is a sweet man. I remembered having a landlord just like Roger. He was sweet and allow me to do what I wanted to the apt. When he got to see the changes he was surprised and loved it! After a few years I end up moving to a different location. He was sad to see me move. Just recently I learned he pass away. I cried. 😢 I will always remember him!💙❤
I would love to see that :)
Yes please!!!❤️🙏🏻
Yessss!
Brilliant!
Words can’t describe how this video made me feel, but the tears I have on my cheeks right now say a lot already! This was so heartwarming and pleasing, it’s the most beautiful happy ending. Like a 2 year long movie! Andrew thank you so much once again for your content. We love it
I too almost cried! This was way too sweet for words. ❤️🥺 A great way to close out this beautiful chapter of life and move on to a new place. How blessed he is to have such a great landlord too. He's one in a million!
@@ShortySensei In case you don't know, "a dime a dozen" is not a compliment, so I don't think that's what you meant.
Same!! I felt my eyes water when he first said “wow!” You could feel how thankful he was. ❤️
@@ShortySensei ....Yea, i think you meant, A diamond in the rough, perhaps?
@@ShortySensei one in a million is perhaps the opposite of a dime a dozen - perhaps that's what you meant 🥰
You should makeover his house and maybe make it accesible and easy for him to transit! He'll be delighted! Roger is the sweetest!
This was the sweetest video I’ve seen in a long while. Made my heart happy. And I, like others commenting here, love how gentle & attentive you were with Roger. You’re a good soul.
How sweet and supportive. He seemed as proud of you as if you were his own grandson!!! 🙂
They do hv an uncanny resemblance too! 😃
Omg Roger is the sweetest. I don’t know why but the ending just made me tear up. You’ve brought so much beauty and love into his home, and you can just see the appreciation in his voice and face. The way you speak to him just says so much about your character Drew, you are such a cutie! I’m so pleased you were able to make the video xxx
Agree with all this! Every time I watch Drew my face lights up. So my kids tell me. He is a sweetheart!
Same
Best tenant ever. makes the space he's renting BETTER. Never happens. Good on you man
Oh my gosh! Roger is so sweet. Sad to hear he passed away. You have him a proud papa moment.
I really loved watching how compassionate and careful you were with your landlord. Being very careful as you walked him through each room and being very considerate of his opinion. You’re a good human.
I share the same sentiments.💝
I feel the same way. So thoughtful of you to move him with rolling chair through the apartment. Can you imagine him telling his friends about your tattoo of his window. Hahaha. We love Roger!
Could not have said this any better. I am crying at the care Drew took -
❤️
I love how giddy and excited you are to show him everything like a child would their parent. So pure. Your work speaks for itself and we can tell Rodger loves it. Stunning work and a win win it was for both of you.
What a sweet relationship! What a sweet landlord! You are so respectful of him! Treasure the relationship!
I'm obsessed with your landlord. He's the most adorable sweet man!
Can someone give this guy a TV show with a BIG budget already.....
Ramon
I want this for him. But I’m also selfish and want to keep him for us. 🤣🤣🤗
This was so incredibly wholesome and you were so kind and respectful to your landlord. It really shows what great character you have as a person, you were so gentle and considerate of Rodger as you showed him around the apartment. He was the sweetest!
You officially have the sweetest landlord on the planet. Oh Roger❤
You are honestly a genius. An artist, a designer, a carpenter, and a kind and conscious soul to boot - I'm about to embark on some DIY projects in my new home and your style is totally a cut above. Please de-sad-beige everyone's homes with your incredible sense of taste and luxurious, curated style.
Protect Roger at all costs. He's precious! ♥️
precious roger would evict 84-year-olds in wheelchairs, like him, into the streets the moment they cant pay their rent.
You are a class act Drew! In addition to being perhaps THE most talented, creative, resourceful designer on KRplus, you are the kindest, sweetest, most charming and charismatic. I hope that all the positivity you put out there comes back to you.
Second that - Drew is the best person ever ❤️🥺
And his landlord was so sweet. I’d love for Drew to renovate his apartment for him even if Roger didn’t want it filmed. I’m sure it would be wonderful for the two of them to spend some more time together. And maybe Roger needs some help to make things more accessible with his lack of mobility. Hope his next tenants are as kind as you Drew. Ps Just read the other comments and seems everyone has the same idea! Glad everyone is on board. Let’s get it done for Roger YAY! 😍😍
❤️ absolutely!!
What a heart warming video!! You are just fantastic Drew. And I hope we get to see Roger again!!
I absolutely agree with you that Drew is the most talented, creative, resourceful designer on KRplus. I have many favourites I watch all the time, but Drew has now surpassed them all - because he has a God-given talent plus he has a generous spirit, doing amazing designs for friends, family and now Landlord Roger free of charge. I definitely believe Drew is #1 👏 He not only has an extremely creative design sensibility, he has charm, kindness and charisma. Drew is definitely my favourite ❤️
He’s so precious 🥹
That lovely old fella deserves a great tenant like you!
We want to see a makeover for Roger's apartment! I know he would love it! It makes me so happy to see him enjoying this.
I came here to leave the same comment!!
OMG THIS!! I would love to see that!!
Totally!
A handicap accessible makeover of his unit would be awesome !
Yep, please do Drew, make his apartment gorgeous. He deserves it.
I'm not sure why but this video somehow was exactly what I needed today. The sweet spirit of everyone involved was perfect
🤗 same here!
Me too :)
Me too 👍🏾
I know! They are both so sweet! 🥰
Agreed!! 💯
