[@tommyo9879]

You guys! I was the fella that said when you started this project that I couldn't watch if you were going to try to remodel the mobile home. I don't know if you were mess'in with us on that, but it has been a pleasure watching all your vids on this project! I have been building highend homes for almost fifty years, and I can say that, for rookies, you guys have knocked it out of the park! I am so impressed with your thought processes in working through problems, Your creativity, and your wisdom in asking for help with the professionals, ( insulation, drywall, etc.), things that would have bogged you down, and sapped your energy. It's been a joy seeing your family and friends, and little Oliver!, working on the project! Definitely try the AirBnB, VRBO, or rental maybe. Also it might be a wonderful place to host a Meetup with the KZbin buds! Anyways, God Bless, keep up the great work! You Guys Rock!!!

When Radio Shack was expanding at an incredible rate during the seventies, their formula recognized that there were "pioneer" managers and "mainter" managers. Two distinct personality types. The pioneers were installed in brand new Radio Shack stores to get them up and running and the maintainers were then installed to run them. I think there is a possibility that you guys are pioneers and may be running into issues once you hit the maintenance stage. Just a thought :)

[@Bum-e2k]

The drywall finishers did not finish the mud jobs on the walls.

[@Hubris2]

I was trying to decide if that was a design choice because the same patterns were left on parts of some ceilings and many of the walls - it does look like they didn't finish sanding the mud smooth so when it was painted it was visible. Given how perfectionist they are in some areas I can't imagine that it was by accident and they didn't notice - they must have decided they didn't want all the walls to be completely smooth so there was maybe a rustic look?

[@JB-NZ]

yeah, lots of places on the walls and ceilings - omg.. what is with that, it looks terrible...

[@jstaffordii]

It's called knock down finish and it's all the rage but as someone that can level 5 finish drywall it looks unfinished .

[@JB-NZ]

@@jstaffordii hmm doesnt look like Knock Down Finish that I have googled (ive never heard of it before), its too smooth in 'most' places with patches of chunky missing bits, even on the ceilings. I dont get it. I think it looks terrible, personally. Oh well.

[@jstaffordii]

@@JB-NZ there are multiple forms of drywall finishes knock down, skip trowel, rag roll, Texas one step, hopper sprayed textures. Every finisher has a different finishing technique . All of them hide imperfect drywall installation except level 5 which is full skim and sand smooth with lights to find all flaws to repair.

You guys are amazing. Having built a few houses and understanding the patience, hard work required, not to mention the frustration, I admire your determination to see the job through. Great job with the house. BTW, your editing is fabulous.

[@defuller1]

@14:30 your comment about extra holes in the wall for the ledgers, try putting ledgers just below the nailing rail at the top of the cabinet. You can hang the cabinet from the ledger and leave it in place behind the cabinet. No extra holes to patch.

[@ericpaul4575]

Or build a ledger that sits on the bottom cabinet.

[@guytech7310]

For upper cabinets I use a pair of toe jacks or FastCap Second hand tools. Much easier than using a ledger board since you don't have to hold up the cabinet while adding screws. I did my entire kitchen by myself & no ledger boards either. I also used the RTA cabinets. Only other difference is I did tile & tiled the entire kitchen before installing kitchen cabinets. Much cleaner install. Nailing trim: Use painter's tape before you nail. Then you can patch the hole & paint over just the nail hole, leaving the spray painted trim looking sharp. No brush marks or drip markets. I use two layers of painter's tape: Patch & sand, Remove top layer. paint & then remove the final layer of tape.

[@questionblechoices]

Transmition jacks work good of this too.

tip for recovering location of wires and boxes hidden by the drywall crew -- reflect the ceiling onto the floor, mark location of the ceiling boxes onto the floor using a vertical laser level. Same with the wall boxes ... mark the floor, and also label the floor marking with the actual height of the box(es)

I just use a plumb-bob myself for the reflected ceiling locations, spot on every time. Low tech solution too.

Just Great job guys & Oliver with his hammer. x x😁😂🤓

[@scottgates4616]

It's coming along nicely. As a trim carpenter, I have a suggestion to avoid holes in the wall from the ledger for the upper cabinets. This method only works if you install the lowers first. I have made a box about 36" long by just under 18" wide by just under 19.5" tall. I set it on the lowers and then set the uppers on it. I then finish raising the upper into place with Viking Arm type tools. Your box dimensions may vary but typically 18" is the space after countertops and 19.5" is the space from bare lower cabinets. I hope this helps for next time.

Recently, Courtney mentioned that Oliver had a health problem and had to take him in and get treated. They did not show Oliver at all during that time period until after he recovered. Boone had to be taken in and get a heart pace maker put in and they filmed Boone going in and coming out and when he got home.

Congrats on all of the progress guys! For waterproofing the external lights on an uneven surface, Matt Risinger has a few videos about it. Cut out a slightly oversized rectangular hole in the siding, then pre-install and flash a matching, flat block to the underlying WRB, then install your electrical box inside of the flat/plumb protrusion you created.

I am retired now, but Courtney, I would hire you in a heartbeat for a trim crew. I am so impressed with your first trim job !

Hi Riley,that metal that you were fixing is Corten and is a steel / copper alloy and is used a lot in the UK as an unfinished architecture material for cladding. The firm that I worked for one time were the major suppliers of pressed panels for shipping container builders in the UK. If the paint finish got scraped of the self healing property prevented rust developing. In the UK the door trim is called architrave,the floor to wall trim is skirting and the kitchen unit base trim is kick strip. Fantastic job and finish that you have achieved and Courtney could get a job as a consultant to be sure that everything would be finished to perfection. Great team work everyone.

[@thewayidoit8895]

Corten was a huge deal here in USA 40-50 years ago. They figured you could avoid painting things (like bridges). I'm not sure how it really worked out though because I see most bridges being painted. A bridge in Pittsburgh PA collapsed a little over a year ago. It was determined tgat the corten steel failed due to constent exposure to, well, basically things it shouldn't see. Corten lives outdoors great but when it has water & debris running down it from a road surface and other factors it will shed its protective coating and continue to oxidize like any other steel.

I think Courtenay said about 6 months somewhere in the video.

Congratulations on finishing the house. I like that it gave you seperation from KZbin filming and your home. That break was needed for yourself. Waiting for warmer weather and a return to the property

[@herbpassmore5608]

Please tell me you put a filter in that return air port!

[@intrepidzephyr]

The Mr. Cool ducted unit has a slot for a 20x20x1 inch filter on the bottom. The filter is in the unit itself and that return air vent is just to allow air to pass through into the utility closet!

Tip on the flooring - rather than use the HF block to pound the planks together, you can use a few scraps of the flooring and cut pieces that fit better and won't do any damage to the edges.

[@maficstudios]

Are all the flaws on the drywall intentional? The mud finish looks terrible to me...

[@unknownrodent]

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

[@criticalevent]

It's so consistently inconsistent I guess it must be intentional.

[@tyleraz1]

Yes! Its a textured finish.

[@Skeedii]

It looks so bad.

[@teddysponsler6220]

I used to do remodeling for a living, I take everything off before painting that I could, I would even use glue on some edges and staple it together, it makes it perfect every time

[@chrislewis2262]

I thought the original plan was for your brother to move in? That was why you bought the property in the first place.

[@OuradventuresGU]

Great to see Oliver enjoying himself with you guys on the final push to completion! House looks amazing and you guys should be so proud! Keep up the great work and can’t wait for the future projects to come alive! 👏👏👏👏

[@jasonmorales1846]

Thought you were doing this build for your brother?

[@amandathurston2720]

13:13 doing floors before adding cabinet ext. ensures if you want to remodel, or move them, you have a solid matching floor under them, and making life easier in 10-20 years.

[@Baggyarsediver]

Why do the walls look so rough? Is that an intentional texture?

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Yes it is intentional. In our area I think they call it skip trowel.

[@Chris-lp3dm]

@@AmbitionStrikes I'm not sure what that is but I am pleased to NOT SEE popcorn texture on the ceilings. Walls I prefer just flat and smooth, no texture added all. Texturing collects and holds dust and makes cleaning walls and ceilings much more difficult in the long term.

[@ericpaul4575]

Texturing hides sins. Very appropriate for rental units.

[@jimothy_park]

What do you think benny

[@badtoro]

Looks too splotchy.

[@wijim1948]

I have never considered staying at an Air BnB but I would ABSOLUTELY stay at this place for the added benefit of meeting you guys (especially Oliver)!

[@Codger2015]

Courtney, is that electrical box on the outside where you began painting broken on the top? Or am I seeing something else?

[@intrepidzephyr]

Yeah I definitely noticed the LB was smashed too. They passed the electrical inspection though

[@lwwarren]

OMG! Oliver's hair is the cutest! 🤣

[@kvnahrn2775]

whats up with the non smooth finish drywall?

[@fuse98]

I can see why they didn't charge extra for the window sills ... pretty shoddy mudding.

[@taurota1554]

Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@StevenCouncell]

Last big drywall project I did, my helper and I blew out the house with blowers. The neighbor saw all the dust coming out the windows and thought it was smoke and called 911 and the fire department came out. Had a healthy laugh, but some of the firemen weren't too amused.

[@beetleclemens3727]

Wow wow wow what a terrific looking ❤️ home 🏡

[@rXs95]

I waited for this video about a month

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks for your patience. We’re so excited to share this video with you all!

[@kalbcorp]
