THE END Is In Sight Wood Floors Bathrooms Ceiling Planks Complete Renovation

So this is where we're at. Reality has officially struck and we are in deep at that renovation house. Really deep and I'm a little obsessed with the entire thing. We're doing a lot. We're trying to push it to the end. We're at the end. We've got to push, push, push. It's a little bit harder to get across the finish line and we're right there. The thing is is that we're at that point now where there's very few big tasks that are left. So it's kind of a lot of little things that are all over the place. And that means that we need to be there to point and shoot. So we're starting the punch list process. This can either turn out good or it can turn out bad. I'm hoping that we look at this and it's like okay we've got this. It's only a couple things on there but it could turn out that we look at it and it's like we're not quite as close to the end as we thought we were. Stain and hang barn doors. Final plumbing. Lights and fans both need to be installed. All devices. That's our punch. Let's get everything done. I'm sure we got a lot more. We are headed in the right direction. I think the final missing piece of the puzzle has been well the vanities one. Those we still don't have. But the countertops we successfully went. We searched and we found them. We found them and they're amazing. Yes and those those also are supposed to be here in about two weeks. So do you want to talk about the touch of a downside to our week? Yes so the fascia and everything got completed. The sides of the house going up the rake and everything looks great. The backside looks great. I just think where the sun hits the house in the front with the metal fascia it's very wavy. It's waves the entire way across. The entire way across it's all waves and dents everywhere. The top portion is going to get covered up by a six inch gutter. So yeah you're not going to see that. So that's no big deal. It's not not an issue. The lower part lower roof the small two foot roof above the door on the deck that gets no gutters. It's a small little roof. So seeing that it looks it looks it doesn't look good. So what we need to do is take this fascia off. Put a one by up there. Span it the entire way down. The one by stick down roughly three quarters an inch past this. And then what we have to do is because these planks aren't cut perfectly straight because the original plan was to have this fascia overlap underneath it to cover it all up. Since that fascia is now going to come off we need to get a small strip of wood that goes on the inside and covers all those cuts up. And we're going to stain everything the same color as this. So it's going to be brown. It's just we can't leave it the way it is. Today's video is sponsored by Kamikoto knives. And I don't know if you guys know this but we were actually gifted some Kamikoto knives a little over a year ago. And ever since then they've been an absolute staple in our kitchen.

The mortar for the pre-slip shower pan has completely cured which means we're ready for the next step which is installing the PVC liner. I know you want to get this done but I can't get it done when you're sitting on the curtain. I'm waiting for my donuts to arrive and then I'll get to work. Oh my goodness. Someone's been nibbling on the donuts. Thank you. Is that mine? Yeah. I didn't know those Dunkin' Donuts were so good when they're fresh. Is it a Dunkin' Donuts commercial? He's not sponsored just impressed. Just joking. We got work to do. Are we eating our feelings right now? I feel like we're eating our feelings. With the PVC liner installed we're ready to put up the Duroc. Then the final coat of mud goes down on the shower pan and then we can start waterproofing everything. We cut the PVC liner around the drain. We caulked it. We bolt everything down. So the next step when we do this is we're going to put stone all around here or gravel around there because you guys can see down there there's weep holes all the way around it so if any water does get underneath there and it hits the PVC liner and it slopes it's going to slope down towards the drain. There's weep holes there so it'll go in there. That's the reason why we have stone there is we put the next topping slab on top. We're not covering the weep holes off. So before we do any of that stuff though we're going to hit a Duroc, get that done, and then we'll start the Let's go put it out the window. It fell away. I see that. My fiberglass mesh tape. We're going to mix the mud up. We're going to seal all of our joints around the entire shower. So while Josh works on the final layer of mortar in this upstairs bathroom Ellie and I are going to head downstairs and take care of a little bit of waterproofing. This has been a week of rapid progress most of which has been in the right direction. The wood planking is in the process of being installed on the vaulted ceilings throughout the home. It's bringing the warmth and rustic feel to the home that we wanted. New stair treads have been installed leading from the first floor to the second and from the second into the loft. A much needed update as the existing stairs were worn and needed to be replaced. So the stairs weren't so bad to be torn down or torn out. The issue is that we had those gaps and cracks on everything and that's trying to go through and caulk everything and trying to I guess rig it to make it look good but look awful. So we went ahead and bought these new stair treads right here that sit on top and also we've got these stair risers to go between. It covers all the gaps and cracks up and now it looks like a brand new set of stairs. All of the wood floors are down in both of the kitchen and also this bedroom that's downstairs and on top of that this room that we had put this design on the wall for like an accent wall it's completely painted and just turned out I think better than we imagined it would. She's stoked. She hadn't she hadn't noticed the wood floors yet. She just saw the wood floors and she just she thinks they look amazing and this back wall in here. Looks good right? Yeah. Yeah it's a hundred percent win. It is. So we're gonna sand all these floors down and then everything is gonna be nice and light like this. It's gonna all match. It's so pretty. It's exciting right? Yeah. We're almost at the end girl. And there's a fun part decorating. Yeah. I know we showed you guys I think the downstairs bathroom but we also finally picked out the tile for the upstairs bathroom. This is what's going to end up going on the walls. It was a process for us to find this to say the least. Josh was not thrilled with how much time I took but it's a win. I think we love it. So over the next few days both of the bathrooms are going to be completed and light fixtures are ready to start being installed. We are right there at the very end of this. We're going to give you a hundred percent pure credit this entire room. Give us a hand. All right. This kind of paint is going to go on like green and dry blue. Oh look at that. Oh my gosh. We use the same liquid rubber formula in our shower at home. It's a critical step in waterproofing before we start the tile. Get it girl. Get it girl. Is this a professional? Yes. I don't know about that. That's beautiful. So I'm ready to start sloping the shower floor itself. We're going to put the motor in there. I'm going to start working it all around with the trowel and get it as nice as I can. You know I'm an electrician. Not a tile guy. But you know I'm moonlight as one here at this house. So I'm going to put that in there and I'm going to slope it from the wall to the drain and all the way around so hopefully when the person is here to take a shower they don't feel my work. Because if they do, I failed. I failed all of you guys. I'm doing my best. So I'm here for quality control. Quality control checkmate. I knew you would. It looks good. It does. I'm going to quality control. You got some cracks down here. Hold on. I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. You got to paint that like really thick. That's because you don't have quality control in the shower pan. A little too much water and it shrank. You know what I mean? It must have gotten cold. I don't know anything about that. Seriously though, you did such a good job. Perfection. Good. I'm glad. You're hired. I did it for you. Okay. I did it for you, you know. Like every story in life, ours has been one that has evolved with time. It started out as one who became two and then five who grew alongside each other over the years. We fought to carve out our own place in this world, one that was drenched in meaning and soul that would last us through the years. And had it not been for the ability to grow alongside each other, I don't know that we would be where we are today. In fact, I know that we wouldn't be. But it's the memories through the tough times and those through the sweet ones that have led us to where we are. The joy in working together towards a common goal for our family and the joy in letting go so that we can be carefree and experience the things that we wouldn't be able to had we not worked hard consistently. Today we are able to reap the rewards of relentlessly pushing through the hard to relish in the fun. It was sweet in the beginning, hard in the middle, and uncomfortably comfortable now as we navigate the new chapter ahead of us that's going to set the tone for our future. One of balancing work and play and success and fun. You guys know what we're wearing? See this? You know what we're doing. Let's go. Ellie are you the good luck charm tonight? Yeah! We've got drinks, snacks, and it's game time. Let's go. Winner winner chicken dinner. Good night guys.
