Restoring a Cast Iron Sink, a Vintage Faucet + All the Renovation Updates- The Grand Lady

[@debbiegoforth8537]

Lindsey, I so admire your determination on that sink! I certainly would have given up. Lol. It was so nice seeing all the new faucets. You have done a wonderful job picking out era appropriate fixtures. If I ever redo my home, I want you to decorate it. 😊❤

[@TheGrandLady]

Thanks you so much that is so kind of you! 😊

Randy is truly a Godsend. Watching things start to really flow and come together is so much more calming and enjoyable, watching everything progress. I'm really happy to see your hearts heal and the joy come back to you both. You and Jim had so many of us heartfelt and concerned. Prayers have been answered and you all have an angel working with you. That wonderful huge sink looks absolutely fabulous. The color is perfect. Fantastic job! Love your choices on bling, tiles and colors.

[@TheGrandLady]

Awwww!! So kind!! Thank you for being here!! I can't wait to show her to everyone when she's done.

Good work on the sink. You invested your time well and can be proud of it when it is installed. Randy is really helping to get the job done.

Randy appears to be a good contractor and easy to work with. I couldn’t be happier for you two, you’ve been through hell with this project and it’s good to see it moving along so well. Good job on the sink Lindsay, that was a lot of work. I’m excited to see it installed.

[@TheGrandLady]

Randy is a gem! It's so good to be (almost) on the other side of that debacle. I'm glad you all stuck with us while we were struggling. Thanks for being here!

Hold the phone. Are we talking about and INSTALLING hardware and fittings!? Never thought we'd get here. Seeing the handles for the steam shower get put in place was inspiring. So charming, too. I felt your pain, too, with the sink rust removal. Was appropriate that I was editing the restoration of the dressers my great-grandfather built (shameless plug) while watching this video, because I remembered all the pain - mixed with the great knowledge and insight - I went through bringing them back to their former glory. You inspire us all.

We need a Randy here 😮‍💨. Awesome progress and coordination.

[@broberts2043]

Oh! I’m surprised you’re doing spray foam. Well, I’m sure you’ve done your research. Randy is a fun addition to the show.

Super job on the sink Lindsey. You have the determination of a bulldog. Randy is a gem, and so is Mr. Jim. Love watching you guys. It's great to know the Grand Lady is in such loving hands. CRACK ON!!!

[@TheGrandLady]

WOOF WOOF! Haha. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. So nice!

[@Nomad126]

Lindsey as always watching for those updates! Just love your editing techniques! Down the road a piece from start to finish in one grand editing extravaganza!!

[@TheGrandLady]

You Know it!! It's a great part of my week! I can't wait to get some of those juicy after shots!! hahaha Thanks for being here Nomad126 😃

[@starsapphire7012]

Excellent work on the sink! The new faucets that you two picked out will bring a glimmer to the Grand Lady! Thank you for sharing.

[@katypowers9066]

Awesome sink! Great work. Thank you so much for sharing bits of your journey with us

[@janetlewis8038]

Glad you won with the sink! Lindsey one more point. 😊

[@TheGrandLady]

LOL. What's the score?

[@mikededmon]

It used to be common (back in ye olden days) when connecting Iron sewer pipes together, that they'd pack a seam with rope (or something similar), pack it and then melt lead into it to seal it.

[@TheGrandLady]

Interesting! Thanks for that little nugget of knowledge.

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

I am so happy to see you and “Mr. Jim” back on you tube

[@TheGrandLady]

Aww thank you!!! It's really good to be back!

[@nancybottemiller2522]

Nice work, happy to see things are coming along😊

[@tammystark2396]

Yay! Coming along it's going to be so amazingly awesome!

[@TheGrandLady]

I hope so!

[@brightlight5348]

Sooo determined…as as usual you won!

[@TheGrandLady]

A husband I know would say "stubborn". I like your comment better! haha Thanks brightlight5348. You made my day. 😀

[@Athena_11_]

Very informative. You’re hilarious 😂 and such a “Blingy” bright soul!😁 ✨ 1st video I found of yours searching how to remove rust from cast iron (Wood stove). Subscribed!

[@TheGrandLady]

What an amazing complement!! Thank you! I hope you enjoy some of the other videos and thank you for subscribing!

[@mammahasspoken]

I felt your pain when it came to getting all that rust off the sink. It does look wonderful though and your perseverance paid off even though, as you stated, it would have been easier, cheaper, and less time consuming to pay a professional to do it. Won't tell you that they would have had it done in a day 😉

[@TheGrandLady]

Hahahaha... a day huh.. Of course!

[@saber5664]

If you were starting all over with the sink, would you skip the naval jelly, wire brush, sandblasting and just use two coats of vinegar?

[@rooneymeadows2705]

🙌 awesome!

[@TheGrandLady]

🙌 back atcha!

[@juliehare3403]

How high are the ceilings on the 2nd floor?

[@TheGrandLady]

8.5 to 9 feet.... or so. Why do you ask? 😀
