I watched the Ballinger vlog in bed this morning. I didn't put my glasses on so I had my tablet really close to my face so I could actually see and Chris, with his entralling description of putting a desk together, made me nod off again. I dropped my tablet on my nose when I fell asleep so there was an injury caused during the making of this vlog. Can I sue? The insomniacs here should try watching Chris, he never fails to make me drop off.

I actually kinda wondered if she hid the pool cause its really kinda a crappy small pool. It seems like she has very limited backyard and former owners just tried to shove some similance of a pool in it.
That house is really odd.. The outsides totally don't match the insides...just like colleen

I'd like to point out how bullshit the title of the ballinger family vlog is. He built a table and put some shelves on the wall. It was slightly harder because he wanted a wood table top and matching shelves. That's hardly the same as a custom built-in closet workspace. He didn't save $5k by doing it all himself, he simply chose a completely different product and assembled it himself. You can't compare unless you make a good attempt at the original design, in my opinion. You guys said this yesterday, I think, but why not buy a house big enough INSIDE for what they need? The backyard is cool, but, for crying out loud. They apparently needed a closet in the bedroom. If they had kept the closet, they wouldn't have needed that massive dresser thing Chris built. He could have put a desk in that corner along side a smaller dresser. And, kept a closet. Those shelves he built look nice, but they aren't really functional, just mostly decorative. Oh, and Jessica was organizing drawers for stuff they need to pack when they travel...because ONE TIME they had to go to Utah with 10 seconds notice. If the rest of their house was organized and not chaos, I can see doing nitty gritty kind of organizing like "travel drawers."

That house looks so sparse... did she furnish it at all??? There's hardly anything in it! In an older vlog Josh and Colleen even talked about how they had a professional come in and design the interior of their house. So I always found it odd how empty the house looks.

I don't remember which video it was, but I remember Colleen and/or Josh making a video during the time where they were moving to the new house when people were asking for a house tour, and whichever one of them made the video about it said that they weren't going to because they did not want to share too much of their house so fans could find them, because at their last house fans found them. I'm guessing because of that, they didn't show their pool and now Colleen probably doesn't care as much now that she's alone which is why we are seeing more parts of the house ... dang it's so huge! All I could think about during the vlog was how lonely Josh must've been when he was at the house all by himself when Colleen was in Canada/near his divorce. I can imagine Josh must not have been happy being in such a big space alone especially with all of the issues he was having with Colleen @ the time.

Yes!^ Having premade travel packs with clothes etc. is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, kids grow really fast I'm just imagining them using them and nothing fits. Also, why don't they just plan better? I can't imagine a scenario where they would have at least an hour to pack - zombie apocalypse? Maybe they're preppers.

Kinda stupid considering they left everything publicly listed. I don't doubt that it was a huge part of why they didn't show it, however there's no doubt in my mind that they tried to hide having money too

Yeah..But if you bought a 2.7 million dollar home, I suspect you'd have a bigger, nicer pool than Collies.

Let me add that maybe her pool is a lot bigger than it looks. It just seems like its rather small and not over 4 ft. deep. Which is fine..and still nice to have..but for 2.7 million, I'd just expect it to have a bigger and fancier pool.

Easiest way for me was to look at who Josh is following on my desktop (his most recent ones show first that way) and I followed everyone with the wilted rose emoji in their name or description. Some have the granny too, which is what I had to use instead. Edit: Smashleigh is also following a lot of y'all (I hope she's okay with me saying that).

I followed a bunch of people, get excited. No wilted flower or granny for me so if some random weirdo follows you I'm that weirdo.

Which is fine..and still nice to have..but for 2.7 million, I'd just expect it to have a bigger and fancier pool. It is a little bit bigger, she only showed one side of it. Still not huge but bigger than it looks in her latest vlog. There is a picture of it on the real estate page.

How much does a pool cost to maintain in Cali? My parents have one here and it's a small fortune and we live in a very affordable city. I imagine anything much bigger would require a ton of maintenance. Plus does she have someone come and clean it?
Also I don't have the emojis in my bio. It's my personal twitter. But I have a vague quote that is ridiculous and if you read it you'll know.

If you guys want i can make a group where you can share twitters privately. you'll have to add people in but it might be easier than being all sneaky on here so minions don't see.
otherwise y'all can continue here, we don't mind

I'm a new homeowner and my house isn't HUGE but it's about 1600 square feet and I may describe it as sparse looking. I will defend that style of their home because minimalism IS kind of the "in" thing these days.
However, my heart hurts for how josh must have felt in such a large space while being abandoned. I know when my husband is at work and I'm home alone, I feel super lonely in this house and it's nowhere near their mansion.

I think a lot of the costs depend on the type of pool and how much the owner does themselves. We have a salt water pool, which in my opinion, is much easier and less expensive to maintain.

Also have the ballinger kids taken swim lessons? I wonder if they're allowed in the pool.

Well, I really hope Jessica didn't teach them because if her swimming lessons are anything like her homeschooling those kids are in danger
