Rodrigo, I am . . . so. proud. of. YOU! You went from knowing absolutely nothing about construction to this! Truly amazing. I am not only in awe of how quickly you are able to teach yourself all these new skills, but also of your ingenuity (making do with whatever you've got and making it WORK)! Just like Freddie, you too are a keeper. And not just because you have fantastic building skills; your love for others shines so brightly. Give Roger a cuddle and a kiss for me. I adore him (and Freddie!), too. May The Lord continue to bless everyone and everything on Lola's Farm. P.S. Next time, don't block the exhaust on the vacuum because it will cause it to overheat and stop working.

[@emilyhsmith]

I am an expert at tape and float, over 25 years experience. Mesh tape is for flat seams and paper tape is for corners only, otherwise your corner seams will crack. There is a special v-shaped trowel for the corners as well. Put the plaster, lay on the tape, flatten with trowel, dry, repeat with plaster over the tape. You can use a stucco 12 in. x 5 in. wet float to do dustless final sanding perfecting, just rinse frequently and don't let it dribble all over the wall without immediately drying off as you go with an old towel, rinse trowel frequently in water, smack over flat towels to remove excess so you don't screw up your trowel shape and move slowly and deliberatly so sponge does not remove itself from wet float base.✌😁

[@susanlee1827]

Thank you. I wanted to holler this! 😂 Also Rod…you don’t layer the tape. I know you have previously, so I’m just saying. (I’ve used mesh tape only since the wrestling match with the paper tape…😊)

[@elenaantunes1263]

Rodrigo please be careful using your 3d printed pipe! You mention it's biodegradable! Which means it will break down. You'll have a big problem on your hands eventually. Please replace that with the right materials!!.

[@marysutherland8570]

Your vacuum back pack was brilliant! But might it have covered the little motor fan too much? So sorry it burned up! Each piece of dry wall made the room look instantly better and better! Sweet Roger, Missing Freddie too! And showing her loves on the phone was heart melting!!! Keep up the good work, and figuring out how to make-do with what you have on hand!

[@mothermedicinemusic]

Make sure to investigate the material you are using in the 3d printer. Things like water pipes, gas pipes, food grade (meaning particles won’t leach into your food/water) really matter. Your printer supplies may already have that but you should ask the company and look at the ingredients - Nana safety concern😂

[@bfvader]

The PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) plastic used in the 3D print is non-toxic on its own, the main issue is that bacteria can accumulate on the microscopic layer lines which are very hard to clean, so it is not recommended for use with food/water unless they're varnished with a non-toxic coating that can fill the gaps. It should be okay to use as a drain pipe. That said, PLA is somewhat hydrophilic and will get brittle and crack over time as it absorbs water. Your printer can use ABS or PETG filament for a stronger print more appropriate for that type of application.

[@christinahaythorne3633]

The 3-d printer is definitely handy for things you need but can't find. So smart!

[@suecbrn]

I am so impressed with your creativity! And I LOVE the fact that you created that corner tool to help you with the mudding and taping. And the pipe! Maybe you can thread the drainage hose further down the 3d Printed one to help it last longer? So it’s closer to the PVC piping? Don’t even know if that would work, but it was a thought. Anyhow, your home is looking fabulous! Hi Freddie! Give Roger a hug for me. 😊

[@gaileestriegel7102]

You are one clever Jungleboy! That printer is awesome and so is your hand-made house! So fun to watch your videos.

[@critterkarma]

Rodrigo, the trick with paper tape, and mudding in general. First layer, start with as small as possible wide very flexible putty knife. Then after a very light sanding, next coat with a wider (4” to 6”) knife. Light sand, and then graduate to the widest knife with a very light sanding. Voila! Less sanding dust!

[@tanya334]

Won't the mesh start to lift over time ?

[@critterkarma]

@@tanya334 it shouldn’t, with this technique, one is adding wider and wider thin layers of drywall compound. So, in the end it ends up with the same thickness, but with less sanding build up. I was taught this method by a contractor when I was doing my own DYI renovation.

[@tanya334]

@critterkarma good to know. Thank you 😊

[@eldongriffiths2770]

The trick is to become proficient enough that the only sanding needed is after the last coat has dried, and as little ot that as possible. Also use broad strokes when applying and working mud. Don't continually play with it. Drywall dust will kill a vacuum quicker than anything else that I am aware of. I use a water filter between the sanding head and the vacuum. It is very effective. With care there is hardly any dust left in the room. Maybe 3-5% of what would otherwise be left. Also, without a HEPA filter on the vacuum you are probably putting more dust into the room air than you want to know. Without a mask that air is being directly filtered by your body. Enough said?

[@critterkarma]

@@eldongriffiths2770 great advice

[@Jillebean10]

Love seeing the progress on ur home! Keep up the good work!

[@juliebugiyne4121]

I know you mentioned in a recent video that you were going to be adding solar panels to your roof. Have you ever thought of adding a deck on the back and putting solar panels on either side? This would make them more accessible for Cleaning when needed and wouldn’t have to punch holes in your roof, causing potential leaks. This would also give you a place to work underneath or even store some of your materials out of the rain

[@lynnespino3418]

Rodrigo, They actually do make backpack vacuums 😊. Missing you Freddie but I’m sure you’re enjoying your time with the Family. Hopefully you can start teaching us some words in German 😊 that would be great.

Put some trim up in the corner of your bathroom where it was tricky to get it smooth and you won't have to see it anymore. That would look really nice. Your doing a great job with everything. Plumbing, sanding, running PVC, three D printing, drywall mud on the walls, and everything else is A LOT for one person to do all once back and forth. You are amazing. 🥰❤️

[@mothermedicinemusic]

And so cool the view you created of the jungle! You built a giant tree house! It’s so wonderful. I think in time you can benefit by super insulating your exterior wall ceiling (major job) for more of a sound barrier. Like the glass helping against all the wind there, the insulation for a more quiet inside. It’s amazing how more deeply you will rest and rest is important to everyone’s good health, much love Mother Medicine Music

[@rickilee961]

Keep checking your vacuum sometimes when you run those kind of appliances for a long time they will overheat and shut down but when they cool down they may come back on

[@back2antiochagain287]

I think what happened is that when he put it in the backpack, he blocked the exhaust (which would have overheated the motor and caused it to shut down as you stated). Hopefully, it's not a permanent situation. If not, Rodrigo could definitely use a vacuum sponsorship. 🙂

[@juliebugiyne4121]

Laundry room looks great! I still think a rolling island would be nice. You could build counter height storage to put some of the items you have on your countertop underneath and still be able to move it around. If you make one side hangover a little bit, you can turn it into extra seating by adding a couple of stools. Turning your refrigerator towards the kitchen would probably make more sense and then you have room for more storagein the dining room area
