2024 SUMMER BACKYARD TRANSFORMATION | SMALL PATIO MAKEOVER | BACKYARD RENOVATION | POOL INSTALL

[@Mamas_25]

I just love how the backyard came out. It's so pretty and simple, and the pool looks so relaxing 🌊

[@mello3214]

There is a Fuze Products that breaks down the concrete off your siding also someone else mentioned vinegar I hope this helps 💪👍😍😍I’m a new sub and loving your channel and your space is coming together so beautiful! Thanks for being so SWEET!!!!!! And real God bless your sweet family 🙏😍

[@GingerJarLane]

Hi Tori! Your pool is gorgeous! You also did awesome on the fence, what a great difference that pressure washing did! Congrats on your beautiful backyard oasis!! ❤❤

[@megankelly2323]

You’re Blessed to have a fence🙏. We’re still rebuilding from Hurricane Idaila, she took all our fences🙄. Working to fix that so our puppies can run again ❗️ All’s beautiful in you yard🙌

[@Tori.Flores]

Oh wow! Didn’t you say you live here too? I saw a ton of fences down around town. We were definitely lucky! ❤️

[@megankelly2323]

Pecan tree fell on our shed (all my decor bins inside) and the fencing. Yes, I believe we live in the same little town in GA. Not saying the name, not sure you want that information out😉

[@phyllisdelgiudice625]

Congratulations on this amazing transformation Tori and Louis! What beautiful work you've done, and I love how you don't get upset when the kitties make themselves at home on all of the new goodies! Love you guys!

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much!! Love you 🥰❤️

[@annparsons2112]

Looks great. I would plant azalea bushes all along the fence. They are hardy for both winter and summer and will bloom a couple times a year. Then you can put some pretty pots filled with plants along the back wall of the house. Adding a nice outdoor rug and outdoor furniture on the patio would be great along with an outdoor grill.

[@melodyferguson2036]

I’m so happy for you getting that beautiful pool! Y’all will enjoy it so much. I know you’ll have it decorated beautifully with all your great ideas! We used a brush and water to get concrete off our metal garage doors when they poured our driveway. It splattered everywhere! A razor blade should scrape the concrete off your windows. Blessings to you and your sweet family! ❤️

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much 🥰 we are so excited to have it!! Thanks for the tip! ❤️

[@MarieLoveAsbury]

It looks amazing! So peaceful and cozy. The patio is gorgeous and so homey. 🌞

[@Tori.Flores]

[@Tori.Flores]

Thanks so much! 😊 I can’t wait to do part 2!! 😍

[@sharonwieler8933]

Some tropical plants in big planters placed around the pool would look nice. What happened to the idea of planting a hedge along the fence? Everything looks so great so far, and love your fussiness! Reminds me of me! 😝

[@Noelle1973]

Love the neutral checkered rug❤

[@Tori.Flores]

I love it too! I’m wondering now if I should’ve went with color though 🥲

[@AprilHeaton]

Thanks, Tori for the inspiration! I would have never thought of using the O cedar mop to clean outside! Love it and everything is beautiful!

You both did an amazing job, and it looks beautiful ❤

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much!!🥰❤️

[@IrmaDiaz-h1l]

Tori the pool looks great and the fence willn't be the same color as the older the wood will look darker the new wood have to be cured and the color will change when the times come for staining the wood you will see the difference. Everything will look good for the summer it's a great idea for giving more hights to the fence for privacy well done 👍🏻

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@ireneromero5326]

Pool looks amazing 👏! Patio looks great! 😊

GREAT JOB!!!!

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@annecarandola6824]

Pool looks awesome….

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you we love it so much 😍

[@staceyvangorder9854]

For our concrete patio, I usually go out and put warm vinegar water over n it and let it soak and Instead of a mom I use a deck brush with soap. I know it sounds silly but it works so well! I love seeing you’re dreams come true! You’re inspiring ❤

[@staceyvangorder9854]

Mop’ not mom lol 😂 my bad

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much!! I’m gonna have to try some of the suggestions lol 🥰

[@elenigutierrez1210]

Love it. Enjoy.

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you ❤🥰

[@Sophia8983]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@colleencilla5766]

Great job...hard work!! Can't wait to see the next video!Did you ever consider painting your back door your favorite color blue? I think it would be beautiful with the pool tile!

[@Tori.Flores]

Great idea!!! Omg it needs a coat of painted anyways 😍

[@jacquelineb8778]

Everything looks so nice!!

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you!! ❤️😍

[@gabrielarich2015]

On that concrete floor outside I’d use a brush with long handle, it will probably be easier for you than the mop.. your backyard is very nice 👍

[@leticiac52]

Beautiful ❤ Tori

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you!!🥰

[@judilynmathis3577]

Looks beautiful. Try Sakrete concrete dissolver. Should work to remove the concrete on siding. ❤

[@Tori.Flores]

Oooh thank you!! I’m gonna go buy some right now 😆❤️

[@darlenemullins]

Beautiful ❤

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you! 😍

[@kristytriggs7271]

Try using a scraper it will work on the windows just do it gently with your window cleaner !! It looks great you guys will make lots of memories there 😊

[@Tori.Flores]

We tried a paint scraper and couldn’t get it up 🥲 Maybe we can use that concrete dissolver someone suggested and use a scalper after dissolving it 🙌🏻❤️

[@kristytriggs7271]

The same thing happen to us and it worked 😂well hopefully that will work 😊

[@Gulfcoastgirl22Kelli]

What a great transformation! It looks awesome!❤ Kelli

[@Tori.Flores]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@carinithafisher6353]

Use a scrapper with a razor to get the concrete off your windows. You could use it on the siding too but you would need to know how and what you are doing to not scratch it.

[@MichelleLaMotte]

I think a razor blade lightly should work to get the concrete off the windows. I’m wondering on the siding if the pink stuff with a scraper like you use on a stove top would work? It looks amazing Tori and Louis! So much hard work y’all did! Can I hire y’all? 😂 Loved all the music on the video! ❤ I wish I had your nice legs 🦵 hairy or not!? 😂 😊 I need that rug! Love the furniture also! So nice 😊 The pool lights are awesome 🌈!! Love 💕 Y’all ❤

[@Tori.Flores]

Great point! Lol I should try that! Thank you so much 🥰 love you!! ❤️

[@rebeccagray8168]

Do you mind sharing how much the pool cost you guys? We are looking to do something similar in our backyard. Looks beautiful. ♥️

[@katrinaleber4564]

It says in the video it was $46,800 total

[@Tori.Flores]

Yes, $46.8K 😊❤️

[@chellebelle0911]

I love the rug! Is it suitable for outdoors? Like not under a covered patio

[@Tori.Flores]

Yes its indoor/outdoor 🥰

[@homewithdebbiej]

It looks beautiful, what a wonderful transformation. Maybe try using a razor blade to get the pieces of concrete off. Anyways, looks awesome girl ❤

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much. Thanks for the tip! I’m going to try the razor blade and concrete dissolver ☺️

[@nicolecordova1518]

Everything looks beautiful! Would you mind telling me the size of the pool?

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you! I forgot to mention 🙃 It’s 11 ft x 32 ft 🥰

[@niknak4759]

Your backyard came out really nice. How did you guy pay for the pool to get donel? Is there some type of funding? I just bought a home too and want to get some stuff done also. So just asking is there something 🤔 like funding for new owners? Your home is beautiful.

[@SimplyBlessedWithCleanliness]

Try a razor blade to get the concrete off. It should definitely work on windows

[@NancySánchez-r6p]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sandraalmodovar4382]

❤❤❤❤

[@Tori.Flores]

😍❤️

[@debbihardesty9234]

Hey Tori! Did you decide not to move?

[@Tori.Flores]

We decided to stay put for a few more years 🥰

[@stephaniec4310]

R ur cats getting into ur neoghbors yard when they dig under the fence?

[@Tori.Flores]

There’s a creek and trees right behind us they like to go play in there lol our back neighbors don’t have any fences beyond the creek and trees but they’ve never came and complained to me about the cats so I don’t think they go in their yards lol

[@Tori.Flores]

They’re just digging under our fence, but the few feet between our fence and the creek also belongs to us ☺️

[@rebeccanida1777]

A utility knife blade would work

[@Tori.Flores]

I’ll have to try that if the concrete dissolver doesn’t work! Someone suggested that so hopefully it’ll come off 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@sondrasix1668]

It looks amazing. Great job. Can’t wait to see more 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

[@Tori.Flores]

Thank you so much!! 😍🥰

[@lisarobbinson8835]

❤

[@Tori.Flores]

❤️😍

[@brandywalkenten9085]

Eventually the concrete will pop right off. I know, it doesn’t help right now 😢

[@michellelazarus7139]

Hey !! 🩵☀️

[@Tori.Flores]

Hey girl ☀️😍

[@NancySánchez-r6p]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@leahp1233]

The concrete can be chipped off with a razor blade

[@Tori.Flores]

Thanks for the tip! ❤️🥰

[@Mimi-gj1fq]

When a contractor cones to your house,does a job n creates another 1 for you.. its their fault and you should call them to come.they know how to,they jus be hoping you dont complain..

[@Tori.Flores]

You’re right! If I can’t get it off I’m definitely going to reach out

[@cathyphipps7909]

You are so sweet. lol
