This whole project came out to around 2K for this size

[@naughty4478]

That’s is a great price if you do your self

[@TheHandyCreators]

We certainly think so!

[@MADGUNSMONSTER]

@@TheHandyCreators That was going to be my first question. My second was exactly how many months did it take, and how many days per week average did you work on it? I’ll say this: what y’all did looks freakin’ amazing!!! Great job!!

[@TheHandyCreators]

@@MADGUNSMONSTER thank you soo much! !!! We are truly happy with the outcome, and quality of it. We started around November and finished in January. We worked only on the weekends but not all of them. Building the structure was the easiest part. Then the stucco took another 2 weekends or so. After that, what consumed the most time was just the little things so get the whole outcome. A lot of leveling the ground was involved! 😂 thank you soo much for watching!!

[@MADGUNSMONSTER]

@@TheHandyCreators You’re welcome, do let us know how it holds up moving forward, especially through the weather and storms Florida is accustomed to.

[@lauralee2248]

Beautiful !! You two work so awesome together and dad is so kewl ! Your garden area and the fencing all the way around your yard is gorgeous too .. very impressive . I love how you take pride in your home and work hard to make it yours , so proud of you two !!

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much for this ! 🥹 funny, we tell that to each other all the time. We work best together. Thank you so much for the support and sweet comment. 🥰🥰

[@dianegougelet1829]

Congrats on a job well done! It truly looks fantastic! It is NOT too big at all. I can imagine laying down on the seat area to watch the moon and stars as well as the fire. I hope you and your family will enjoy it for many years. You should be very proud of this project.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Yes! We’ve already done this! We lay down and watch the stars. So relaxing 🙏🏻 thank you so much!

[@saiket1735]

you guys are very humble couple, spent a lot of time on the project and had time to record, document, edit and posted for the rest to watch, it's a good video, very informative, and very high class seating area.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much for this comment! We truly do appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ambroseavery5229]

Fantastic job guys! Very nice & contemporary! I love it! My only suggestions, (since I come from a family of brick-masons) would be to lay the block with mortar, between the joints, (just like a wall,) for added strength, & durability. You probably won’t have any major issues, since you put in “re-rod” and back-filled w/concrete, though which was a good idea. The other recommendation is to tack on a metal-screen mesh onto the block, designed for stucco; both suggestions (although added expense,) are designed to prevent cracks, down the road, due to settling. I applaud you on the end result though! Fabulous!

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much for the sweet comment and AMAZING tips! 🙏🏻🙏🏻We truly sincerely appreciate it. Construction involves soo much we have no idea about, so we appreciate any tips and guidance! We are so happy you liked the outcome! Thanks for watching !

[@tohtvtrillbilly639]

2nd this. As a Mason in Florida it's killing me watching block laid dry. Lol. That being said probably not worth it to your average homeowners to spend the amount of time it takes to learn to lay block for a 1 time job.

[@SandraAnnEvans]

THANK YOU AMBROSE AVERY! MY DAD WAS A BRICK MASON TOO! GREAT TIPS!

[@Crystal_Cleveland]

This is fabulous!!! Looks so expensive and clean. LOVE!!!

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you !!!! 🥰 we’re so happy with the way it came out. Thanks for the feedback !!

[@MikeA0110]

We are really impressed with such young people taking on a project like this and making it your own. It came out great, thanks for the inspiration.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻 it truly makes us happy to work together and help others do the same!

[@nazeemslamdien8854]

Well done guys!!! As an architectural draftsman (and wannabe builder), I loved the simplicity of the project; the final product looks amazing....wish I had the space for it.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much! 😊 🙏🏻

[@troywharton6238]

That was awesome, and it's just the look I'm going for. I'm about to purchase my first home, and this will be a project. Thank You.

[@ApophisApr]

This project turned out fantastic. We just installed our in-ground-pool and your seating area is exactly what I have been looking for. Thankful for your do's and dont's and comment from Ambose Avery for your tips and tricks.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much!🙏🏻 It’s been almost a year already and it is still in perfect conditions! So we highly recommend. Her comment was just fantastic, we definitely agree!
