The ink wasn't even dry and you responded. Tonight is a Lunar Eclipse I'm going down to Flagler Beach to film it. It starts here at 10:30 EDT. I have a Sony 200 to 600 telephoto lens to shoot it. It's call a Flower Moon and also called a Blood Moon. I don't know if you will see it out there. I'll share the photos.

[@Environmenthrall]

Love the little millipede and flower vignette 😊

[@dwjr5129]

One of the reasons I like watching you guys so much is how well researched your projects are and how patient you both are with them. Throw in a good amount of natural talent and it makes for some excellent viewing. The kitchen looks awesome!

[@brianmckee7470]

They make me want to hire them for a couple weeks so they can teach me and my wife patience.

[@donalddodson7365]

Fantastic job! Your design tastes and installation / fabrication skills would be enough to keep many (most?) of us watching. But then the commentary, comradery, teamwork, and cheery dispositions are captivating! What a joy to be tagging along with you four as you transform your 20 acres into a terrific house - workshop, but also into a Home. Thank you both. RILEY QUESTION TO BOONE: "What do you think about this thing? (the dishwasher) BOOONE: "It is stuuuupid! My tongue gets plates way cleaner and I cost less." :-)

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Boone agrees that our latest addition was very unnecessary... 😉

[@diecastdungeon8970]

Boone is such a hoot! How could anyone not love that face!!

[@anttimaatiala9111]

Tack!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thank you so much! 😊

Seeing that rain reminds me... When we built our last house we lived in the shop the 4 years it took to build the house (we both had full time jobs back then). I won't go into the story of 5 wells to get water, that's part of why we spent four years living in the shop. Anyway, we set up a rain water harvesting system that we used for showers, sinks, the clothes washer, etc. It was pretty simple. Gutters, a "roof washer" system to divert the first part of the rainfall, a 1500 gallon tank in the shop portion of the building, 3 filters to get down to 3 microns, and a shallow well pump that maintained constant pressure to everything. We used delivered water for cooking and drinking and had a composting toilet (I'll never have another one of those...). We were 50 or 60 miles west of you guys in Washington state. Plenty of rain and snow melt in that area. The rain harvesting worked very well. A couple times it got close but we never ran out of water. You would be shocked how much water is in a small shower with the size of that building. Oh yeah, speaking of that, the system also had an overflow for the tank.

[@revpops]

Rain catchment system with spouting and tank and debris runoff should be a great way to save on hauling water

[@garymichalski5197]

we had washer about 8 years ago and we loved it. only thing no food grinder at the bottom. So every so often you will need to clean the bottom out. other then that we loved.

[@robertdoulton9308]

👋 hello from Australia. Love your work!! 👍🙂

[@sarahgander8482]

Just beautiful, no other words needed🤗🤗

[@cheif10thumbs]

It's a joy to watch you two work together. The love and respect you share shows in every video. It's always fun and entertaining to see how you tackle problems and solve them. Thank you!

[@da7heaven]

The backsplash really completes the kitchen look! Well done!

[@ChrisACiufo]

Thanks for the reminder about the Lutron pico remotes. I had a bunch of them in my last house and they worked fabulously well. Been wanting to add 4-way switches to my current house; this should save me some Romex. Thank you!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

They have been awesome!

[@therigglet3548]

I can't believe how good those tiles look. And how much easier they are to work with! Amazeballs work team! Very Impressed!!!!

[@Markito908]

There is literally nothing else in my KZbin subscriptions or recommends that even remotely resembles this channel. It’s mostly MMA/VIDEO TECH/STREAMING TECH. But I got hooked to your channel when you were building the camper and now I’m just too invested to walk away. It’s 9am, I should be heading to work but instead im sitting in my couch watching 2 people putting up kitchen tiles and enjoying every second of it. The internet is odd. Also Boon and Bailey are adorable.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Your comment made our day! We can’t believe the reach that our channel has, to people in so many walks of life. Sharing this adventure has been such a blast!

[@CaptainKseadog1]

Hey guys, i really like your choice of the big tiles. A little more difficult, but way better not to fill a bunch of grout joints. Riley, your cuts with the grinder are impressive. Great job guys!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Courtney is going to grout the joints today, and just realized there are only 3 joints that need grout! 😂

[@WEEKENDER4X4]

Have to admit I only started watching your channel on the weekend, have binge watched all nearly all of your videos and loved each one, shame your on the other side of the world! Haha have a good one guys 👍 love your content!!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks so much for watching! ☺️

[@sylviabrennan3032]

OMG Guys the tiles are to die for 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍

[@triplebbb2862]

You guys are so cute together and the one sock is funny

[@pupndan1982]

Dishwasher is really cool with flush cabinets! Your kitchen is so right for the apartment!

[@murraygreen4345]

Well Done for buying a F & P dish washer from New Zealand . Just the best . M.G NZ.

[@LaureReminick]

Teamwork as a couple is sooooooo fulfilling. So glad you guys have that

[@AmbitionStrikes]

It sure makes projects more fun!

[@waltervang]

The kitchen turned out beautiful and very functional. With all the rain and your big roof are you going to collect the rain water and store it like life uncontained they turned it into drinking water with filtration. This way you do not have to hall every time.

[@billybike57]

Sweet dishwasher, my first time seeing a dishwasher that small!

[@imark7777777]

The clock outlet for the stove is a pretty good idea as long as it's a gas stove... I could also see that being useful for a refrigerator.

[@buckroger5850]

Reily you have to remind yourself that a happy wife is a happy life. 😊 Good morning guys !

[@paige6028]

More popular these days is "Happy Spouse, happy house"!

[@diecastdungeon8970]

That tile looks amazing guys!! I would have never had the nerve to use those giant tiles. As you ALWAYS do ... You made it look so easy. I agree about the grinder vs the tile saw. The precision of your cuts was spot on! Dishwasher is very interesting. Saves space appears to hold a good amount and is very eco-friendly. So good to see more of B and B again. Can't wait for the next chapter.

[@jazminvillalobos5177]

I love your vibes guys I need more friends like you…Good luck in all of your projects!!❤

[@jamesdavis5135]

You guys are awesome that’s my reason I watch keep sharing

[@laruedouglas1064]

The tiles look beautiful and they add so much.

[@Ali-ig6nf]

beautiful kitchen you've made indeed

[@mustangsupersnake7848]

Love the music at 8:08 - It's different. All your music is good anyway. This is my favorite KZbin channel. You guys are real, free and happy :)

[@johnjr3870]

170k 😎, Bout time. Really like the 3way and dish washer, tires, tile,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@erniewood3159]

Not sure which is more pleasing and / or exciting......... wheels or tile. Pretty close to dead nuts even. One thing I am SURE of: Dogs are pawrific!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

So many transformations this week!

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good Sunday morning & thank you for sharing your journey

[@robertboyd3898]

Two geniuses at work you guys have done a fabulous job 🎉🎊🌺🎄🎄🙏

[@ronallen6578]

Your tile job turned out pretty nice. You should feel good about the outcome. Nice job.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks Ron!

[@SurviveTheDay]

Nice tile work. A good pair of Glass/Tile Suction Cups will make a huge difference lifting and setting the tile. Also, when mixing mortar, add water first, start mixer, then add dry mortar into the pail. It’s easier on your mixers motor.

[@BobL417]

We added a bluetooth transmitter and plugged in an LED light for one end of our laundry room. Best $20.00 I ever spent. It's been installed for month and not one problem.

[@waynem.menary4076]

You did a great job. Alot of people use smaller tiles but it's way more work and very expensive. Using larger tiles is much better. Looks great you guys.

[@lanemontgomery4968]

One of the laws of nature proved to be effective today. Riley was able to install all this tile without any cracking simply because he held his tongue correctly. Nice job.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

😂

[@kopenhagenkid]

Rims and tires look great Courtney

[@anthonyvdv7]

Realy amazing job, it is such a pleasure to see you work on these projects together, great team work, great balance. Thank you for the great content. Love & Light

[@timburk6097]

Very cool dishwasher. Our dishwasher is me😏

[@cali-electro-dad]

You could HEAR the vacu-seal tightness of that tile going in! Brovo!

[@noproblem2big337]

Great job love that splash back👌

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Riley and Courtney

[@not-fishing4730]

The #1 question with a Fischer Paykel dishwasher is are your dinner plates small enough? Having the controls on the face is really nice. Mine are on top of the drawer face and a bit of a pain. Thanks for the smart switches reference. I have a few locations that I need to retrofit them. I'm thankful for convincing my wife on glass small subway tile for the kitchen tile back done a few years ago.

[@oldguysrule5895]

Aargh! Riley one sox 🏴‍☠️

[@Improve_Explore_Fix_Repeat]

Lutron Casseta is awesome. Add a couple of lights in the garage and entry area, a remote in the cars, and you'll never walk into a dark house again! Also great is the ability to turn on a bunch of lights with a single button when you hear boo in the night. I would also ping the ecoflow folks, because they should be able to integrate in order to shut off lighting circuits, etc, if the batteries are too low.

[@BFVgnr]

We've got a full size washer that we never use because, like you, there's only 2 of us. And having one half the size, with less than half the water/power consumption would be excellent. I'm gonna check that out now! The other tracked jeep channel, he shared a video of them going into the Cascades after a huge snowfall on 12 May. Ya'll are getting some crazy weather, glad you've got projects to keep you from going stir crazy!

[@kwakuowirodu9090]

You guys are amazing. MAN and WOMAN, husband and wife working / functioning together as one in harmony the way God / nature intended. I admire you guys, you truly have something special and inspiring.👍👍

[@johngregory662]

Nice vid. The tile is a nice finish touch. Looks great. Live confidently and peacefully

[@GPDIY]

That was a lot of fun to watch!

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

The tile really makes the place look great!

[@nigelhaultain6663]

Well OMG it's like a show house / flat ,weather not good for you but you can get more jobs done, congratulations on your tile fitting .let you get on signing off .nigel uk 🇬🇧

[@hollandduck79]

from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 thanks for the video AS

[@Davidson-Tiki]

Good job on the Lutron Caseta install

[@luckyx16]

You posted a video of your tile kitchen with the clock on the range flashing? The tile looks awesome! You both never cease to immpress.

[@mo0seboy]

This year has really been putting the wet in "wet coast". Every farmer I know is complaining about not being able to plant due to mud. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you guys tackle drainage on your property.

[@68lehman]

wow!! Those giant tiles really make a difference! Fisher Paykal double drawer is what we have. Great job! Take Care, Tom

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks Tom!

[@AL-yy3rb]

That was what I wanted to do and boy I am glad to find your video. Such inspirations & good demo. This will help me a lot!! Thank you.

[@rtshort]

VERY nice little apartment. Everything is looking GREAT. LOVE the dishwasher too. Just right.

[@chuckspeer2163]

ABSOLUTELY 🎉😊

[@redtop03]

Awesome, your kitchen is looking really nice guys. I've mentioned a few times about getting us a new dishwasher but my wife said she loves her old one, that old dishwasher would be me. LOL

[@AmbitionStrikes]

😂

[@s.m.g.m2015]

Your kitchen looks awesome 👌 so glad I found your channel, relaxing to watch. 💯 👍

[@melodeeplath9597]

You two are fast becoming my favorite channel 💞 I Love the laid back way you DIY any projects - and are honest about what does/does not work.

[@racebanning6390]

WHEELS N TIRES, AND TILE JOB IS AWESOME!!!

[@roetlymodiwongso7726]

Wawww... its getting better and better ..love the kitchen setup with the dishwasher.

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

Beautiful tiling. Genius 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@sharonfrommann6516]

Great job ! Your kitchen looks beautiful.. I enjoy building project and sometimes I learn new ideal and definitely see new materials.

[@jbarvideo12]

Beautiful design Courtney and fabulous Teamwork tile installation. Please index your AmbitionStrikes videos so I can tune in to the last one you created.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Hi Jay! If you go to this link, you will be able to sort by upload date for all of our videos! kzbin.infovideos

[@jeffwotherspoon3867]

yeah have to agree and the 36 stitches in my knee from a chain saw also agrees slipping and sliding with a chain saw is a bad idea lol

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Yikes! 😬

[@jeffwotherspoon3867]

@@AmbitionStrikes yeah I am another one of those if I tell you it's a bad idea trust me I have the scares to back up my claim, as most of my youth was spent in and out of Emergency for casts, stitches, Xrays, torn ligaments figured I would give all injuries a try I guess growing up lol also never learned the first time had to do it 10 or so times before I thought hey you know what this hurts I should probably stop but just to be sure lets try it again hahaha

[@middlemanonnon]

Currently sitting on the amtrak delayed just south of the railway Bridge to Sandpoint. Love your videos.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Safe travels!

[@terriread6432]

great kiwi whiteware the Fisher&Paykel dish drawers

[@MrClivelupo]

Reading the manual of the dishwasher so seriously.............Don´t go off grid................Courtney, you made my day and Riley did such a good job cutting those tiles.

[@JackoTJK]

Grinder is the best tiling tool. I also worked out years ago that if you're trying to keep mess to a minimum you can mortar the tile and stick it down. It minimizes excess

[@frankgriffin1121]

Great job from a guy that has done lottsa tiling !!

[@triplebbb2862]

Wow that’s nice dishwashers

[@genedegiorgio1617]

Tile looks great, sets up the whole kitchen. Peg leg Riley, you guys are to funny.

[@mikes.9755]

That is a super cool dishwasher. Adulting is just different when you are excited about cool wheels and a dishwasher at the same time.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

So true! 😂

[@mezanian]

Delicious tiles, reminds me of coffee meringues.

[@CoryMT]

"Now that is a neat job" Didn't expect to hear that about anything Riley does.

[@willdiet1079]

GX looks amazing!

[@granthendricks1046]

i am surprised you did not buy a rock crusher to turn all that granite into a perfect gravel road. its amazing what you two accomplished. My ex-wife in 6 years cooked 1 meal of spaghetti. Cortney, escavates.

[@jimdelong949]

Hi Riley and Courtney You had me as excited as you on these latest kitchen projects The kitchen is looking so beautiful. It shows you can still be somewhat modern and off grid at the same time. You to are doing such a fantastic job. Can't wait to see what you do next. Stay strong and safe

[@GirdHerd]

Looks great, guys.

[@handy-remodeler]

Looking good guys 👦

[@shackman1306]

Thank you again Folks have a wonderful 😊 day.

[@sarahgander8482]

Saw your comment using a ceramic wheel on the angle grinder. Put an old big ceramic wheel - from a friends wet cutter - on my mitre saw, squirted water and WOW beautiful cut on my decorative tile! Thanks so much🤗🤗

[@AmbitionStrikes]

I'm so glad it worked well for you!!

[@bigunone]

I want one of those drawer dish washer. I don't know whether to curse or thank you for giving me the idea of how to put a great backsplash in my kitchen!

[@donaldshields2483]

A very nice job looks very pretty your hubby does very good work with your help keep it up God bless
