He’s quick with it 😂

nice work, as always! PS: Am I the only one who is still hoping to see how Ray's kitchen came out?

Totally! Jason should do a surprise video on Ray's kitchen.

I wanna see Ray’s kitchen and that other kitchen remodel they started.

[@adb1950]

@@andrewdimauro7352 I don't understand what happened there. They never finished the series. I wonder if the homeowner was unhappy.

It’s fun when u guys make these vids too … nice break from the builds and see real life projects in the home. Cheers guys

[@solsticesummer982]

Lolol you guys are flipping crazy!! The toilet crawl was the best! While I’m envious of your wives having such cape able husbands it’s good to know that your homes are as lived in as the rest of us. I love it.

Why not? Furniture channels make stuff for their homes too and it's still great content. And for a change they have 1000% creative control (as far as "the Code" allows)

[@micks9580]

Lowes Blowes!!! Change my mind.

[@Chanelchen123]

I used to live in Germany before moving to the US and we put something under the flooring. It's not only insulation but also muffles the sound when walking around. In fact, I have never seen it done without. I know Americans are not that bothered about insulating properly but just for the plain sake of having a quiet home, it's a good idea to invest in it We are renovating an apartment house in Germany right now and I have been told by our contractor it's mandatory in Germany now.

Hi, Watching from the UK, seen the entire series of u building the rental property , was in awe and inspiration of what true skilled workers look like , your team is a massive credit to your community . So appreciative of u sharing an insight into whats involved , massive thanks and so nice to see such a tight knit team along with fantastic humour , stay safe and well

[@curmudgeoniii9762]

My Mom is from Lenoir .. actually I was born there also.. and she always talked about the wonderful mountains in N Carolina .. and when I see the wonderful views from you home and many places in your area I now know what she was talking about.. just so beautiful.. Thanks for another great video... also watched the Vegas video .. good watching all the guys having fun.... Thanks... Regards to all...

[@toddslichter7831]

When my bride said I had to clean the bathroom after our boys were potty trained, I told them to sit or go outside.😂 It's amazing how much better the toilet area stayed clean...and dogs stayed outside.

[@albertorozco5981]

Jason let out his secret on how to keep from painting at job sights 😂😂😂

[@T.E.P..]

hahaha .. i've learned a lot from his style to avoid painting

[@bulldog2morrison996]

In the uk we would put an insulation layer under the floor one cause it bloody cold, but it does make it better to walk on

[@phillipfish7235]

Much respect for coaching your kids teams...real men here folks!

Wow !!!what a beautiful view you have there ,taking your coffee in the morning and relax on the balcony .first time here

[@carolewarner101]

You definitely made the right decision to go ahead and do the bathroom. Best to just do it all at once. Transformed the place! Probably will feel a bit chillier down there in winter without the carpet, but will be heavenly in the hot summers there!

[@mjrc123]

Shout out to the East London crew 🤛🏼

[@thepagan5432]

Great job, at our last house we had 5 children, 12 dogs and 3 cats. So I sympathize with you. Yes, it is true that as a dad/pet owner you get immune to the smells, and sights. Modular flooring goes down so well and looks great. Has Jay ever thought about being a stand-up comedian? Thanks for posting and making me laugh 😂😂

[@egj1975]

Great choice... the vinyl floors from Pergo are REALLY strong. My Pergo floors are 17 years old and they are like brand new, thats just insane and people often ask "are these new".

[@patriciaclark5428]

Throwing out old carpet always summons the rain gods.

[@jxchamb]

Put that same floor in my bathroom a year and half ago. Different color and style though. Absolute hell installing it. So much cutting but luckily my Dad was able to help me out. Took us two full days to instal it. Not including the demo I did prior to remove the old floor. We also had to laid down a new plywood subfloor and then a water barrier on top of that.

[@deroobj]

Man, that toilet shuffle was freaking hilarious

[@denimillie]

I’m so happy to know that my teenaged son isn’t the only one that tends to somehow strip the hinge screws of every single door he uses routinely in my house! 😂

[@Tkssa580]

Stairs look great!

[@DJs_Inferno1789]

I love watching you guys build houses but watching you do vinyl plank ,which is what I do, is funny because of the few things you do wrong because it’s your first time. But because it was your first time you did really well tho, also you could do your stairs in LVP too you just need stair nosings that matches the floor and PL 3x glue or maybe Lexel(I haven’t used it before) but your stair work was like perfect. Also pin nails are better for the shoe molding it doesn’t need a whole 18 gauge Brad nail😂

[@matteberry58]

Eric riding a horsey toilet was great comedy. Tippee cayay cowboy!

[@dawnc1419]

Hi Jamie & Eric, please please please can you do a video using LVP flooring on a stair case including the tread so the stairs will match a hallway and a landing...Oh I'm in the UK if that helps any ❤ luv the show guys ❤ oh, and the stairs have concrete skirting boards .... i know why, just why..?

[@milesharlan1]

Perfect timing! I’m prepping my upstairs bathroom for LVT. Should be fun! Thanks guys. Love the channel!

[@patrickrussell1888]

Regarding your outdoor concrete walk with a step about every 6 feet or so. This is an accident waiting to happen...someone falling on their face. It would be better to combine your steps into one single flight and dig into the slope of the ground or gently slope the walk, slightly (1 foot in 50 feet, or 2% slope). Single steps are dangerous especially when you are not paying attention as to where you are standing or walking. As you get older, it is more dangerous for less ambling older folk. Also, the series of steps should have railing to grab. I am only 73 and did a belly flop on my face on MY exposed aggregate step series like yours. When you miss a step going downhill, you dont stop at one. Ask any landscape architect worth his/her weight in senior housing.

Years ago my son was helping his buddy and father strip out a pizza joint . It came time to do the bathroom. My sons buddy lifted the toilet over his head to toss it into a dumpster,As he put the can over his head and let out a scream and a stream of water from the toilet poured into his open mouth. This is a 100% true . Nice job.
