Cant believe we pulled this off! Clawfoot tub gets her legs! + more bathroom reno

Our 100 year old clawfoot tub gets her legs finally! It took some engineering but we figured out how to combine the two different styles of legs and level out the tub!

[@Ima-Diamond]

I’m thrilled the new feet worked! I see the vision, and I’m here for it! Big cheers to the lady who sent the feet.

[@sandypeppers6861]

Absolutely!

I’m so excited about the bath tub! I do like the new claw feet. They will be beautiful when you’re finished. Oh my Mr. Dayton I love,love your stool. What a lucky mom you have to receive such a wonderful gift. I’m 78 yrs old and when I was 5 a neighbor of ours. Made me a stool so I could reach the sink to wash my hands. That’s my pride and joy. It’s 73 pretty amazing I still have it. God luck on your project. I know you’ll do fantastic.❤

[@kpercy19]

We always keep a vice grip in the rooms with antique doorknobs, just in case.

[@mcampbell7760]

🇨🇦Just a wee bit of distressed paint and wax on the top of that beautiful scrappy stool! Well done Dayton!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️. You have your mom and dad’s genes!!!!❤️🇨🇦

[@julisign]

You two grownups are giddy with excitement! So adorable! And, what a great science project Dayton is doing. Congrats to him!

[@pattyharrison6386]

Your sawzaw, would have done the job on the bolt. Dayton, Great job on your science project & I certainly hope you go all the way to the TOP❣️ Just 5 More Minutes Mom❣️ 2 CLAW. & 2 BALL feet The tub is red because it is an iron tub iron turns red when it's not treated against the water & they wouldn't bother with the bottom.

[@Hollybank5]

Dayton learned new skills to make Mom’s life better 💕 Claw feet attached and level - Philip can do everything !! 👍

[@caroljester7970]

So glad you changed the height of the curtain ring. It looked awkward where it was. The stool is the perfect size for beside the tub. Dayton and Chase are so handsome. It was so special that he thought of you and what you needed for the bath. Love !!! the feet. The way you'all figure out solutions for problems is fantastic. That is just one of the reasons i live to watch. Number one is the love and enthusiasm that you have for each other and for making your dreams become reality. It was nice that the four "Guys" spent time together on the boat. Phil's parents are close and that is perfect for your boys; and you, too. Family is very important and they seem so nice. Of course, since they raised Phil, that is expected. Congratulations on the perseverance on the barn. Obstacles conquered!!

[@gailrhodes2859]

I wish I had a child or grandchild that I could help Dayton with but instead I’m going to wish him the best of show! My daughter go to the international level of the Science fair for 4 years with the mandibles of a deer!!

[@nichelebrownlee1471]

That is the best present, a handmade one from your son. Great job Dayton. A future DIY U tuber. Feet look wonderful on the tub. And I agree with moving the shower curtain rod up. Looking forward to the end result. Hope the storm fizzles out.

[@sherriecollins1570]

Good luck Dayton - that is awesome! And so are you and the stool! Your mom will cherish it forever!

[@juliequinlan6564]

Well done Dayton - the apple really does not fall far from the tree 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙 It really is lovely when you get gifts that your children or in my case my nephew have made for you - Dayton - you are a Son to be proud of! Elysia and Phillip - you have raised lovely boys 💙💕💙💙

[@eileencarew1972]

My goodness, your Dayton, what a big heart he has and you'll keep that stool forever! Also, glad you're raising the curtains, they will look so much better higher over the tub.

[@malloryparent8555]

What a fantastic idea Dayton!! I do agree that too many people, kids and adults, are on their phone etc. Way too much! Wish I could help but kids are grown and grandkids too far away! Good luck Dayton!!! I work on a computer all day long, not always by choice and wish someone would tell me to get off LOL!! Look forward to hearing how he made out! And fantastic stool too, Dayton!!

[@annrae1597]

I remember when I was a kid ,reading in bed and was told "times up" and I'd plea for 5 more minutes and then a long came my nephew years later with the same reaction...I was given 5 more minutes and so was my nephew...now it's computers..what goes around ,comes around..things never change.

[@rebeccastratton4114]

Claw foot tubs rock. The old cast iron ones hold heat really well.

[@lornawood3260]

Looks like the feet will be on the wrong side. I.e., clawfeet against the wall 😮😮😮

[@gaylesmith4953]

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Nice boat, Mom and Dad‼️ Great job on the bathroom stool, Dayton❣️👌🤍👍🏼 Good job coming up with an improvisation on your gold oval shower 🚿 curtain bar and with the bolts 🔩 to attach the feet to your bathtub 🛀. Do you plan to paint the bottom of the tub with your white marine paint⁉️🤪 Please keep safe in the upcoming storm, ⛈️⚡️and I hope you don't lose power❣️🌦🌤*

[@wonderlove4515]

My oldest was before cell phones were mainstream. When we went to the beach and emptiness to go came around she would say 1 more minute … so many times ❤

[@stephanieboncuk5201]

He is so cute and funny when he says something to make you laugh.

[@lindaconover7245]

I think that's super neat that your son made that for you! I would suggest putting a bottom in it and put hinges on so you can raise the lid and store things in it. I wish him good luck in his science project and hope that he moves on. I think that's fantastic that he come up with that, you have a talented family 💕

[@anneyday3493]

Dayton, if I had kids or grandkids around, I'd do this first thing. Even my kids who are adults now, would always beg for more game time so I think your project makes a good point. As it is I will just have to wish you well, and also send my compliments for the cute stool you created! English family creativity continues!

[@ShirasongMusic]

One of my favorite videos of you guys. So unrehearsed and spontaneous and funny. You could be on TV. 😅

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

I’m thinking you’ll need to put the larger feet on the back and the smaller ones towards the drain so the water can run down. So basically there’s a slight slope going down towards the drain. Right now it looks like the slope is going away from the drain. Unless the window is throwing me off on the levelling.

[@dianepereira1860]

You get more projects done in one week than I get done the entire year. Lol. 😂

[@eileenmetzkow8475]

I was concerned that once you flipped the Tub back over that the two Claw Feet would be on the wrong side of the Tub. But thankfully that didn’t happen. I think that Daytons Project will prove to be Incentive for all Cell Phone Users, esp Teens. 😊🤟🏼💕🙏🏼

[@melodytwitchell4898]

Hi oh my goodness Dayton all grown up Wow Time flies what beautiful gift making stool ❤❤❤❤❤

That's a neat stool, Dayton. Can't wait to see it after you get it all ready to go.

[@maryellenyork2819]

The Daily DIYer needs to restore an old clawfoot tub. I suggested she watch you,but reach out to her if you know how. She is renovating a bathroom, too.

[@kimberlyscrivner9373]

Congratulations on your third place win! I hope you get a lot of clips! And what a sweet thing for you to build your mom a stool.

Amazing work y'all ❤ And my oh my lil man isn't so little anymore 😊 he's growing up to be so smart, genuine and kind... They both have some great parents! You now have the perfect stool and it's hand made just like his momma would do ✨

OMG, Dayton did a fantastic job on the stool. I love it. Wishing you the best of luck on your project. Tub feet falling off isn't a pretty picture...lol

[@nealmaynard8219]

Congratulations Dayton! 🎉So clever! Hope you get more videos than you can even watch! The bathroom is looking amazing too! Good call on raising the curtain. Hope it is successful. 🤞🏼I can't wait to see the final, full reveal. It's been such a cliffhanger! Until then, stay well and be blessed English family ❤

[@kathyortiz4302]

Looking awesome ❤❤❤❤

Nice stool! Nice work on the tub legs! It's really coming around!

[@janicerobertson4752]

Way to go Dayton! Good job!

[@kittykatty2898]

Hello Elysia, are you sure the bath tub should be levelled? As far as I remember our plumber installs the bath in such a way there is a minimal slope towards the plug. It is on purpose , so the water can drain completely after the bath is finished. If it's levelled there will always be a little puddle in the middle , and with time it will leave a mark on the surface. The bathroom is looking really beautiful already !👌

[@lynntorson1984]

Dayton just a little secret. This 5 more minutes is not just a kid thing. I even catch myself that when the dogs need out, I need to work on a project. I think just a few more minutes and guess what, I am 65. Lynn, Dodge City. KS, USA

[@patriciabarr4983]

Dayton did a fantastic job!

[@user-wf4ej9gf1y]

Feet will be stunning….cant wait to see the full reveal

[@Edu_Kate]

Great job, Dayton! I hope you'll reconsider refinishing the gifted claw feet. I love the patina they have. Perhaps the gap could be filled with a customized wood piece, such as a walnut-stained piece.

[@bettyloar2238]

Good job Dayton, I love the stool
