As a Texan, I can tell you Eli’s hat tip and “Howdy Ma’am” while on horseback was spot on. We can officially make him an honorary Texan. Y’all should show the clip to the Texas Rangers. I’m sure they’d drop a badge on Eli, especially knowing Jeremy’s background in law enforcement.

Eli stole my heart when he was up on the horse, tipped his hat and said Howdy Ma'am!! 😍 You two have taught your children well ! ❤ All of them with their own talents , gifts and love. Living in the moment, grasping those " Can we ..." moments are priceless memories. Take it from a Momma of an amazing son who will be 42 this year and a Granddaughter that just turned 20. Time flies by so quickly! Much love, big hugs and lots of prayers from a Kansas Grandma ❤️ 👵

ALL BATHROOMS require waterboard drywall! The blue helps workers to tell the difference between regular house drywall and blue bathroom (waterboard) drywall. Sometimes it comes in a light purple. The blue drywall has the same gypsum content as the regulardrywall, but the blue paper is treated for mold resistance.

[@susanschultz8142]

Jeremy and Melissa, Your Dream House wouldn't be a true Dream House if you didn't take the time to build a relationship with your children. Children need to feel the love, respect, and value you have for them. They need to know they are more important than you spending every single day working. Yet is also important they realize that you are building this home for them. It will be their home long after they are grown and have families of their own. You are doing a great job of balancing out the home build and family time. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

[@foretb1162]

It was great seeing Eli helping out at the beginning. You are both very patient with him. Short little spurts of 1 x15 minutes will eventually become 1 x 60 minutes in the long run. I'm sure each child has a "chore" or "housework" to do? You can add 15 minutes of help in the new house to each child's daily task list. That way they feel incorporated in the project. Listen to their ideas because they might just come up with a faster way of doing something or do it better than you. When you start slow and build up, their self-esteem will grow.

[@markbeaver5010]

So much fun :) I LOL Love the Smurf Bathrooms and can't wait to see them painted a totally different color (that will be fun) Stay safe, healthy, and happy, enjoy your horses.

Blue board drywall Blue board still has the same gypsum interior, but the outside is coated in a blue paper, hence the name. ... The benefit of using blue board is the strong absorption of the blue paper. Since the paper absorbs much better than normal drywall, the overall product is much smoother and evenly toned across the entire wall. easy to finish.

[@thomasbrown1067]

Any time spent with the kids is truly special. I remember coming home from a 24 hr shift where my ambulance ran calls the entire shift. I was exhausted but my stepson asked me if we could shoot some hoops. We did and it actually energized me. What a great memory, (it's been 24 years). Love what you do keep up the good work.😀👍🙏

[@rebeccaanderson2907]

You need the purple 5/8" fire rated drywall to go with your color scheme. For added color, use Red Gard on your shower walls for waterproofiing. It dries a pretty pink. And seals water out when you tile shower walls. No need for Durorock if you use Red Gard. We used it in our house 7 years ago with no troubles.

The blue drywall should be fine. It is made for veneer plastering because it is mildew resistant and properties that make it suitable for plaster veneer, but I am not aware that it would be any issue tiling or painting. I would be just be sure it's made in USA or Canada. You can Google many health, safety, and actual home damage caused by foreign drywall.

That plasterboard is for water and mold resistance, and it's not meant for mud/tape/paint, it's meant for plaster. It's perfect for a bathroom and is sound insulating, but if you plan to tape/mud/paint, it's not the right stuff. You probably want the green or purple ones.

@@mistymcclure7971 You can paint blueboard but it's a pain. The blue paper coating is more absorbent so the veneer plaster will bond to it but it will get kinda furry if you try to paint it without plastering the surface (NOT a DIY job!) To get a decent finish with just seam tape and mud you have to prime it, let it dry, then sand the entire wall to get rid of the fur. Prime it again then paint. Green board or purple board are better damp area choices for diy'ers.

Then a good quality primer then 100% acrylic paint is the only way they'll be able to paint, but they could tile all of it I suppose as well.

A bit rude of you. He is ALWAYS working with the horses and the stalls, cleaning and hauling hay and feeding. He just might not want to be on camera.

[@marlenecardinahl9346]

Sorry I have not seen that and try to watch regularly-. I was not being rude- Just wondered why he was never seen helping or. Even out there watching- Chance for him to learn That type of doing things- most kids love to hammer even just pretending to do something- -

[@marlenecardinahl9346]

I guess comments should not b made on here- Sorry Mom and Dad- I will bug off---

A little trick with drywall when you have a hole knocked in it that is cheap! Stuffing newspaper in the hole will help hold the drywall putty from going through the hole! Then just sand paper the spot flush. That mountain absolutely looks gorgeous with snow on it!!

I love the blue sheetrock, and love seeing your family all riding the horses. Those maple cookies are a favorite of mine, too. AND... I had to go watch a youtube video of Canada's national anthem because you got me curious about the words. I've heard it for decades, and all I ever knew were the first two words. 😀It is beautiful.

My grandma was from the Ontario area. Unfortunately she passed when my mom was young. But I'm starting to find out more about this side of the family. Amen to today's lesson....

In the restroom, it is nice to have illustrators, books, good light, luxury paper for the bud, music radio, and a higher chair for the feet, because it is healthier.

Before you work on the kitchen walls install blocking for your cabinets ; it is easier than trying to find the studs when install the cabinets. Also install blocking in your bathroom for the towel bar, toilet paper holder, and the cabinet.

What is blue sheetrock for? Image result for sheetrock color codes Blue Board Drywall Blue board is used for veneer plastering, and the surface paper has special absorption qualities. It has a high water and mold resistance and there are fewer steps involved in veneer plastering. Blue board drywall is not made for mud, tape, or paint.
