this girl is great/a drill&a dream /i love everything she has done to this little home since day one/my name is Florence/im from ct.i like what you have @ILoveJesus/I love the lord/I can not live without Jesus in my life//
I laughed out loud when Gomer went under Jay while he was down on the floor leveling the last stair step. Jay acted like it was normal for Gomer to go underneath🤓🤓 him.
The first order of business after you move in is to have Jay over for a great dinner! He has been with you through thick, and thin! The house is amazing! Fantastic job guys!😊the stair are gorgeous!
Of course it is EXACTLY like your dream picture. Jay and you made it. That man will do whatever it takes to make things just the way you dream of!!! Jay you are an exceptional role model for men!!!
I've followed along since you first entered the old house and started clearing it out. I feel like I've been a part of the process. Thanks for allowing us to follow your journey.
God bless Jay! His talents are amazing. Seriously, is there anything he can’t do? I hope you are paying him his worth. I’m going to miss him when this is over.
The rail looks absolutely gorgeous; HOWEVER, the last big, EXITING project, will be the: the interior decoration, the porch, the back deck, the basement, (which could be your game room/tv room/office area), next, the barn, the garage & the landscaping 😂😂😂 We still have a lot more “Drill & Dream”, projects to look forward to…❤🙏🏽❤️✅🎉🥰 I love this channel sooooo much, I’m not done watching you & Jay… keep improving your homestead .
I love the fact that you just didn’ MAKE DO. if something didn’t look right or fit right you found something that was the best. To many times in my life I allowed the opinions of others to have the upper hand then regretting that I didn’t stick to my ideas. So proud of you.
Looking @ the house now and remembering how it was when you stared is mind blowing! ! What a transformation in less than 3 yrs! It’s your dream n beautiful!
A family I follow that live in Alabama built a new house. They contracted a man to custom build their chair railing. Well they got scammed. Took him to small claims court. They ended up building their own railings. 😊
The surprise that Jays drill stop working and it was your drill you guys used to finish your last big dream project, it felt like destiny . It really has come full circle
Jay is not a carpenter he is a CRAFTSMAN. He should start a school teaching the skills he has developed over his lifetime. As a woodworker all my lifetime and the son of a craftsman and with a son who is developing in to a craftsman I certainly appreciate Jays workmanship and his ability to instruct you.
The two male influences in your life (Dad & Jay) any future mates have big shoes to fill! I love Jay's confidence " We can do it!" He Is a rock! Anytime my husband is trying to do things like this we can't be in the same room! Hahaha Loved kitty Clive trying to go through the door! This was a funny one them watching you two!
Right in the middle of watching this..I flashbacked to the upstairs dormer being built and looking over the back yard....then there was that big hole that was dug with the concrete being poured into those 'things' .....my my my ....what a job this has been...IT IS BEAUTIFUL.EVERY SQUARE INCH HAS BEEN TOUCHED . Lov from South Alabama.
All the wood used, even if it has parts and color imperfections, this makes it special and very unique , what a very lovely home build with hard work and a lot of love and with very special loving people.❤
Jay is amazing and you have come so far. When he said he was going to countersink the bolts, you knew exactly what he was talking about. Then there is the wood. The stairs are absolutely gorgeous! You are a lucky girl to have a dad with a sawmill.
Opening up the stairwell was a good idea, Abby. It lets more air and light into both halves of the downstairs. (Not to mention, it looks beautiful.) Well done. Jay, as always, you are making difficult, complicated tasks look effortless. Your attention to detail shows in every single inch of your creations.
Retired finish carpenter with 100’s of stair and rail installs. Watching you two build railing makes me appreciate the many things I have learnt on how to install. Good job for the work!
Jay is an amazing carpenter! Ya'll have done a fabulous job on remodeling your house. I've watched from the beginning and I can't get over the difference that has been made. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Jay is a true blessing ! I really think he’s enjoyed himself doing all of this work ! It’s a blessing to be needed at an older age ( I’m 65 ) and not needed any more and it makes me sad ! Merry Christmas to all of you ❤🙏🏻🎄
I am speechless and my grandchildren will testify that it doesn’t happen very often 😂 OMG I am overwhelmed with love and joy!!! Everything is GORGEOUS! 💞
The stair balustrade looks really good. A lot more complicated than you would think placing them properly etc. but as usual Jay came through amazingly.. love it!❤
You and Jay are such a good working team. The stairs are a dream come true for you! Your baby cats are adorable! You’ll love living there, what a wonderful Christmas gift 🎁
Love those stairs this is my favorite video project ever . Love every minute, please keep them coming Abby , we all feel like family now and your dream has our Hearts. Love to you, Jay ,and family. and all the people who had a hand in this fantastic dream . Yeah ! it is so close now . 💥💜💫💙❤💚
Perfect spot for a treadmill on stairwall. Creating a running path on perimeter of property would give you great health benefits n get you in shape n feeling much better. Good luck.
The stair railing looks so amazing even though you have a bit more to go it will look fantastic. Abby without Jay I don't know where your house would be. You have learned so much from him Abby. God sent Jay to help you with your home 🏡 🙏 Abby. God bless the both of you, Abby and Jay. Stay safe and be careful out in the streets if you get snow ❄️ 🙏 ❤❤
The railing looks fantastic! Can't wait to see what are you going to use for a railing for the upper half of the staircase! Maybe a full length rail on the opposite wall?
Abby, railing & black post turned out great. Terrific work you guys !! Looking forward seeing polyurethane on the stairway boards. Will make hug difference entering your home. Nice sweater. 😊☃️❄
It was fun to just watch you & Jay work on the railing! And, it's SO beautiful!! Just so classy! I love it!! Just can't wait for the next video!! It's so exciting!!! 😍🎉
Fun video Abby. My railing is 42" from the tread to the top of the rail but any fall from the higher part of mine would be significantly more than yours might be. Your banister and balusters are wonderful! From one carpenter to another named Jay I applaud your calmness and efforts in teaching Abby so much about process over rushing to the finish on every project. I rarely have customers who appreciate my speed which similar to yours. Abby, your kittens are stealing many scenes. It is so fun to watch their curiosity!
Wow! It looks just like you envisioned it! Beautiful! What a puzzle to put together! Great workmanship! Jay is a miracle worker! I’m sure the kitties quality inspections were up to code!😂😂
First of all; my little dog would’ve gone running at the sound of Jay’s drill. Gomer was like,” do you need my help?” 😂 The baluster is truly a work of art. Do you know when your counter tops will be in? I love hearing the excitement in your voice with every last detail being completed!
I know the railing will be amazing, but I'm obsessed with Clyde and Gomer chonky monkeys! So adorable! Gomer looks just like my bestie's meezer Angel and Clyde is such a distinguished Tuxedo like her baby George who crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years ago. They will bring you much joy!
Congrats Abby. Great job Jay. Funny story for ya Abby. I trim houses for a living. The first time I built a handrail, it took about 2 days. Fast forward about 4 years. Now I can do a handrail in about 4 hours. Probably install 30-40 railings a year. So it definitely gets easier the more you do it. A couple dozen more houses, and you will have this down pat. 😂😂 GREAT JOB GUYS !!!
Hello!! Its amazing to me how excited I am about a house I don’t get to live in! 😂 Since that first video of the walkthrough till now, it’s absolutely mind boggling how far your sweet little house has come! Love love love it all! Oh…and Gomer was cracking me up…just wanting to help! 😅
Been watching since the first three videos were up. It is just me, but this banister job seemed like the most difficult job y'all had to do out of all that has been done in the whole renovation! I was feeling overwhelmed for you both. Great job, it looks so fantastic!
Look at the pictures from the last 2 Christmas' at the house and notice the transformation especially in just the last year. Mind blowing! 😅 Good job! Woo-hoo!
Hi Abby and Jay. Your stairs are looking beautiful! Your kitty cats are going to know exactly how to run a drill with Jay as their teacher.!! I laughed out loud.!😂
Such deja vu. If memory serves, isn't that the wall Abby and Trudy tore into in one of the first vlogs? I'm thinking a wrap party, This Old House-style, seems to be in order! The stairs are spectacular, absolutely gorgeous; both understated and simple, yet it adds so much character to the room. Well done!
Your house is just stunning and love the stair railing. The hard work is almost over and now you can enjoy decorating. It’s been a great journey that has flown by.
Jay is the calmest - most laid back person! I know he has been a joy to work with. His demeanor is a sermon without words.
Jay is absolutely wonderful 😊
So happy for you. Looking so nice! Jay is such a blessing! Your family as well.
I think we all here Love Jay. What a guy!
this girl is great/a drill&a dream /i love everything she has done to this little home since day one/my name is Florence/im from ct.i like what you have @ILoveJesus/I love the lord/I can not live without Jesus in my life//
I laughed out loud when Gomer went under Jay while he was down on the floor leveling the last stair step. Jay acted like it was normal for Gomer to go underneath🤓🤓 him.
I laughed too! I would not like those cats all over the place--especially on the counters. Glad they live with her.
Cats and some dogs are natural construction site inspectors. I am a cat person who always enjoys cat inspectors on my projects.
The first order of business after you move in is to have Jay over for a great dinner! He has been with you through thick, and thin! The house is amazing! Fantastic job guys!😊the stair are gorgeous!
And make a plaque of appreciation to Jay.
If you're putting king or queen mattresses up stairs. It will be a task to get them around the corner and headed up the stairs.
It will be ok if they are rolled up. I forgot that's the way they are done now days.
Of course it is EXACTLY like your dream picture. Jay and you made it. That man will do whatever it takes to make things just the way you dream of!!! Jay you are an exceptional role model for men!!!
And women😊
Jay is the best teacher to teach you Jay does beautiful work
Is Jay a relative ?
I love when Jay said it’s not going to be easy, but we can do it. I had to chuckle because I put in exact same ones and it was NOT fun😊
I've followed along since you first entered the old house and started clearing it out. I feel like I've been a part of the process. Thanks for allowing us to follow your journey.
God bless Jay! His talents are amazing. Seriously, is there anything he can’t do? I hope you are paying him his worth. I’m going to miss him when this is over.
So will I as so calm about everything since day one. God bless you Jay 🙏 ❤
Hope he helps outside as well and for sure he could be the one she calls to help fix things ! Jay has been a true blessing
The rail looks absolutely gorgeous;
HOWEVER,
the last big, EXITING project, will be the: the interior decoration, the porch, the back deck, the basement, (which could be your game room/tv room/office area), next, the barn, the garage & the landscaping 😂😂😂
We still have a lot more “Drill & Dream”, projects to look forward to…❤🙏🏽❤️✅🎉🥰
I love this channel sooooo much, I’m not done watching you & Jay… keep improving your homestead .
True…And exterior house paneling.
I love the fact that you just didn’ MAKE DO. if something didn’t look right or fit right you found something that was the best. To many times in my life I allowed the opinions of others to have the upper hand then regretting that I didn’t stick to my ideas. So proud of you.
Such an important life lesson. Especially in matters of the heart...always remain autonomous. You will regret otherwise.
That looks so much better than the before look! What a change! Jay is a jewel! Such adorable kittens and they are funny and have no fear of Jay.
Looking @ the house now and remembering how it was when you stared is mind blowing! ! What a transformation in less than 3 yrs! It’s your dream n beautiful!
Exactly.
Never could I imagine this property has become quite a real-estate "gem".
Abby,you and Jay should be flipping property 😊
A family I follow that live in Alabama built a new house.
They contracted a man to custom build their chair railing.
Well they got scammed.
Took him to small claims court.
They ended up building their own railings. 😊
The surprise that Jays drill stop working and it was your drill you guys used to finish your last big dream project, it felt like destiny . It really has come full circle
Jay is not a carpenter he is a CRAFTSMAN. He should start a school teaching the skills he has developed over his lifetime. As a woodworker all my lifetime and the son of a craftsman and with a son who is developing in to a craftsman I certainly appreciate Jays workmanship and his ability to instruct you.
Jay has a little helper today...love it.
Jay is your miracle maker 😆
Everyone needs a "Jay" in their lives, a gift from God.
The stairs is my favourite part of the house .. decorate it for Christmas .you two can figure out anything.🎄🎄🧑🎄🎀🧱🎀🧱🎀
The two male influences in your life (Dad & Jay) any future mates have big shoes to fill! I love Jay's confidence " We can do it!" He Is a rock! Anytime my husband is trying to do things like this we can't be in the same room! Hahaha
Loved kitty Clive trying to go through the door! This was a funny one them watching you two!
Wow looks so good

Who's the mystery guy exiting the basement twice, and leaving by the back door?
❤ your videos!
Blessings to all...❤
Plumber guessing.
Jay’s skill is amazing! There is nothing he can’t do. 😊❤🐾🐾❤️❤️🎄
I think Gomer loves Jay!
All the wood used, even if it has parts and color imperfections, this makes it special and very unique , what a very lovely home build with hard work and a lot of love and with very special loving people.❤
Jay is amazing and you have come so far. When he said he was going to countersink the bolts, you knew exactly what he was talking about. Then there is the wood. The stairs are absolutely gorgeous! You are a lucky girl to have a dad with a sawmill.
Jay and you do amazing work together
What can't Jay do ? What a craftsman.
It looks beautiful. Jay is absolutely the best.
Love the cats ,love the stairs and railing! Looks gorgeous!!! 👍🏼
Stair railing looks fantastic! With Jay there, nothing is impossible!
Abby! Everything is looking great and your vision is clear! Well done team, well done!
You need to give Jay a big Christmas bonus, he really knows his stuff.
It all came together because you have a fantastic carpenter. He does beautiful work.
Opening up the stairwell was a good idea, Abby. It lets more air and light into both halves of the downstairs. (Not to mention, it looks beautiful.) Well done.
Jay, as always, you are making difficult, complicated tasks look effortless. Your attention to detail shows in every single inch of your creations.
so glad to see that you took my suggestion about the cat door, hope it works for you!
BEAUTIFUL STAIRS

Jay is a master craftman. You are so lucky to work with a man with such talent. You Abbie have great taste to compliment his work.
Jay is the BEST! Love the railing❤
The railing looks fantastic! Can't wait to see what are you going to use for a railing for the upper half of the staircase! Maybe a full length rail on the opposite wall?
Wow! Didn’t that stairwell make a difference? So finished looking. Love it. Job well done Jay and Abby❤
Again Jay reminds me of my grandfather. I never got to work on a project this big but we might have worked on at least 30 week long projects together.
Wow that looks pretty challenging! The dream team did it again!1111 beautiful!11
Abby, railing & black post turned out great. Terrific work you guys !! Looking forward seeing polyurethane on the stairway boards. Will make hug difference entering your home. Nice sweater. 😊☃️❄

Love the railing 💚❤️🤗
Hi Abby and Jay.

Silently watching and cheering you on from day 1. I am so excited for you🎉🎉
The wood with the black looks so good.
Wow! The railing turned out so good!
Beautiful! I’ve been watching since the beginning. So exciting to see it so close to finished!
