    I would put the kitchen in the area next to the garage where it’s right through the door to get the groceries. Lots of overhead lights and under counter lights would make it nice and bright. Thatltaves the large room fora living dining room combination wheremostpeoplespend the most time and can fit lots of people to visit.

      You may have to shift the door a bit, but it would be worthit

      The only problem is he’s probably already put the plumbing needed in the other space. That would make so much more work changing plumbing around

      ​@@lindavasa7519, the only plumbing I saw installed was the bathroom and it's right behind the wall facing that area. I agree with the poster, the kitchen should be there.

      @@yvonneferguson5205Actually I looked back in the 3rd video where him and his father put the kitchen plumbing in the space he plans on putting his kitchen. I kinda remembered that but I had to go back and check again 😂

    I watch a bunch of renovating youtubes... but you are REALLY GOOD. Good taste, seems to be able to do so much yourself no matter what type of job. No talking, just moving forward in good spirit.

    Hope you decide to flip to place the living room in the big open room and not tucked away by the garage especially if you are to have it as a vacation rental. Those windows would be such a statement in a livingroom.

  • @jtholland1013
    @jtholland1013 16 วันที่ผ่านมา +19

    yes to living & dining rooms into big room & kitchen off garage. Vacation renters would be attracted by that for sure- think of a contemporary “petite grand salon”… your an outstanding rock star w/ renovating for sure

    • @lfuentes4098
      @lfuentes4098 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I think the kitchen off of the garage would be a good flow and then have a nice big living room. Adding some French doors from the garage will help bring in lots of natural light. And maybe a transom window or two? 😊

    You are such a methodical worker! I don't know where you and your wife grew up, but you have knowledge beyond your years, an amazing work ethic and you will be very well established by the time your children are old enough to go need some help with their start into adulthood. If I may suggest, get some eye protection. You need your eyes to work. It rarely happens, but when it does... I love watching both of you work. You know what you're doing at such a young age. Thank you for sharing!

    I agree that the kitchen should go in the dark space next to the garage. With clever underbench lighting you can transform a space. As long as it’s open to the lounge and dining area, it will be better utilised space. Shoving a sofa and tv into that small area is a mistake I think.

    Friends have a dark family room in the home basement. They bought a bright vinyl covering for one wall. It features snow and lakes. Apparently there are hundred of choices. They ran LED strip lighting around the ceiling edges. They can program light colors to suit their moods. The room is 14' by 18' (my guess) and never seems dark. The papered wall is almost a source of light. It's cool.

    Diego, as always fascinating! Thinking at your layout plans, have you thought of putting the kitchen next to the garage…that way there could be possibly space for a washing machine/freezer/storage. Then the larger lighter space for living/dining ?

    Hi Diego, I also think that the kitchen should be next to the bathroom, for a few reasons...your water and waste pipes are just next door (bathroom), adjacent to the garage, if you needed to put the washing machine or extra freezer, plus all the shopping would not have to be traipsed through the house,I would still open the window to give more light.

    I agree with the swapping of kitchen and living room. More of an open concept.
