    Greg is such a stud! That guy can fix anything and do anything almost perfectly. I wouldn’t have imagined anyone could cut the flooring freehand.

    I would suggest that in cold weather, put the couch on a diagonal. That way when you sit down to relax the colder air coming off the walls and widows won't blow right on your necks and chill you.

    FYI you never want to get the edge with a hammer cut you off at peace about 6 inches long and then tack a board the top of it and use that to tap the pieces in place so you don’t ever damage the tongue and groove. You guys are doing a good job looks great.

    The flooring composite turned out fine thanks to Greg being handy with that portable saw. The Maximum floor nailer also turned out to really prove its worth. Nothing says home more than a nice-sized couch.

    May I say you both work very hard and you should be very proud. You are not like most of the other DYYi You Tube Channels, you guys are Real!
    You Saw Mill is cool and I like how you Mill your wood for your Projects.
    Love your videos. Greg, buy yourself a 20 oz hammer for some of your work as you won’t have to swing so hard and you will won’t risk injury. Stay well 🇨🇦

    The flooring turned out beautifully. The color is so rich looking. Since you are not happy with the color of the cabinet facing the living room area, perhaps you could paint it, or sand it a bit and put a little bit darker stain on it. Y'all are doing such a great job on your home. Thanks for taking us along. Have a Blessed evening.

  • @davidjackman5773
    @davidjackman5773 ปีที่แล้ว

    helpful hint (hopefully); a pair of plastic saw horses and an old solid core door will make an excellent work bench. You will then have a stable platform to operate your skill saw. It will be be a LOT safer. It is portable and when you don't need it, it doesn't take up too much room. Keep on truckin'.

    Love the couch and I would suggest a day cover on it so the cat's fur and claws don't snag it??? How are you finishing the stairs??? Wow talk about an instant change to the whole room looks beautiful for sure. Looks like only things to do are window trims, tile for kitchen floor and foyer. What's going under the fireplace? WOW how EXCITING!!! God Bless you ALL and what a total change that flooring has made. The colors are fine with the cabinets...live with it for a while and who knows maybe you can find a couple of decorative throw pillows for an accent on the couch that are similar in color to your cabinets. If you sew they are so easy to make. I have made lots of throw pillows for various rooms it works.

    Hi this off grid life folks. I was watching your shower install and your going to have issues with rot and mold in the future. Don't want to put you nice folks down. You can't put white drywall in shower enclosure., It's not mold resistant. Got to be blue or green. Plus that pine will start to rot from condensation in a couple of years. Just a little friendly advice before you do the finishes. Flooring looks great.
