BitterApple November 18, 2019 Share November 18, 2019 I'm a little disappointed Austin and Joy went the Boob route to buy a house. I doubt they paid anything significant, because if they did they could've just bought something on their own. Jill's brand new house was under 200k, so a fixer-upper should be significantly less. It's a bummer none of these kids will ever be truly independent. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/147/#findComment-5758863

Because it's likely paid for and I think she has said before that she likes it small because it's less to keep clean (as we all know that Jessa isn't really a clean freak). I wonder if all kids get the first house for a 'good deal' and anything after is on them financially. 1 hour ago, BitterApple said: I'm a little disappointed Austin and Joy went the Boob route to buy a house.

It's a bummer none of these kids will ever be truly independent. Over the years it's become apparent that JB buys up properties like trading cards. And maybe he does so that when the time comes his kids can take one over when they're ready. Maybe he does so because he just likes collecting properties. But if my parents had a selection of housing for me to choose from for a 'good deal' it's probably a whole lot easier going that route than buying off a stranger and going through the regular procedures. At least with JB owning it first they are probably well aware of any major issues with the property. 1 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/147/#findComment-5759176

JB may be a pompous butthead, but I think he didn't stand in the way of his daughters marrying the spouses that suit them best. Jesse got a laid back guy, Jinger got the guy who got her to the big city, Jill got her missionary husband (that was probably the biggest disaster), and Joy got the hard working guy.

I have to remind myself they are not (trade school ) educated licensed professionals when I start to think this way. I'm OK with them doing more basic around the house type of repairs but when it comes to something major like plumbing & electricity (or cutting into a major outside wall like at Jessa's for the deck), I definitely want professionals who have been properly trained in their trades. My sister & I are in the midst of getting repairs done on my mom's house for the potential buyer. We have heard all kinds of horror DIY stories along the way. Plus we have to show the work was done by licensed companies. I wouldn't want any part of my house to be repaired by a 12 year old Duggar. ETA: its mostly the Duggars Construction I have a problem with. I would have no qualms to have Chad Paine (married to Erin Bates) do work on my house. His workmanship looks great from what I've seen on TV. I don't think he's the type to take illegal shortcuts like the Duggs.
