She looks like a brand new tub...! & Philip works on a project just for me!

Working on the bathtub restoration has been a challenge but OH SO WORTH IT! I cannot believe that we were able to get it to this point!

[@Ilovemusicmom]

When that tub is finally hooked up, you deserve to sit in it with tea and a good book for as long as you want!!! What an amazing job you have done with it!!!

[@carolnewby8747]

Love the new grill.

[@colleenhaithcock216]

There are bathtub trays that fit over the width of the bathtub and allow you to set your tea down and can have a book rest so that it doesn’t have to get wet anyway you deserve to have a wonderful soak

[@Pamela-gm5sx]

YOU DID IT !!! YOU CAME YOU SANDED AND YOU CONCURED IT!! WAY TO GO!! THAT TUB IS BEAUTIFUL!! As my father would say blessings on you!! Pam

Elisha your perseverance paid off! The tub is beautiful.

[@carolynewilliams1194]

A lot of people would have given up with the tub and chucked it out. You had vision, faith and patience and succeeded, where a lot of people wouldn’t have entertained the thought. You’re a star! Fantastic job! ❤

[@l.e.bingham6643]

Hello I’m glad that you didn’t give up on the bathtub, and the truck looks really cool. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫

[@pattyharrison6386]

​@@ElysiaEnglish I think you have the classic old version of a plain ball foot tub, but she needs a pedicure for sure🤣😆

[@janet929]

Happy Happy Happy for the results on the tub!!! The red paint on the tub feet reminds me of old tractor & machinery paint. Wow the grill change on the truck made such a difference.

[@triciafillmore7978]

Wow!!! Great job!! Love the gold faucet!

[@darlenepeace9578]

[@eileenmetzkow8475]

ELYSIA. I would sand and paint the backside of the Tub Feet also to prevent further rusting. 😊🤟🏼💕🙏🏼

[@alicejump2290]

Million hour tub now million dollar or gold tub, love your work ethic! Now transfer to new to you truck, liked your trip down memory lane about cars! Woke up my memories of restoring vehicles with my husband and taking them to car shows! As an artist I sometimes painted logos that were no longer available new! He restored farm tractors also, and now is part of the tractor museum in upstate New York State! Praying for your boys and other children affected in your area! Nothing worries us more than sick children!

[@lorenadunne4199]

The tub and the truck both look awesome! I can't wait to see the new rims!

Hope the boys feel better soon. Great job on tub.

[@denisetarabori553]

The truck already looks better with your white touch-ups. And now with the new grill even better. Phil did a smooth slide “in style” to match how cool your truck is becoming. Yea, I saw him slip in the mud!! 😅Great job you two!! See you tomorrow for more of the bathroom work. I hope tonight’s storm isn’t too bad and I really hope the boys get all better very soon ❤❤❤❤

[@kaynothem5445]

Way to go with the tub ! That first soak will be awesome ! The family truck looks awesome too !

[@lisareatherford8097]

Maybe on your truck you can do your signature gold touches

[@granamiere]

That FORD logo is going to be gold soon,

[@joansheppard6576]

If you have a reuse store with older things you might be able to pick up different bathtub feet that have lions down the road. Just a thought.

[@happy.homestead]

Look into fast curing resin and moulds for your tub feet. They won't be harmed by the moisture in any way. The tub came out great! Hope the boys feel better very soon. Love the new truck.

[@melonmahfood2439]

Gosh, the boys have been down for a bit. Sure hope they are up and about soon and that you and Phillip don't catch whatever they've got going on. The tub and truck look amazing!

[@shanimarais9695]

Sandblast them and put some beautiful molding with golding on. Perfect!

[@user-wf4ej9gf1y]

Truck looks fantastic and the tub and feet. Wow

[@lisareatherford8097]

The tub is looking so beautiful, your hard work is paying off … maybe in the future if there ever is a salvage place or antique show you could get claw feet for the tub … but I just love what you are doing ,saving the money where and when you can

[@kathybresson2637]

The motor is very clean wow

[@lindawatson3356]

Well done on persevering, your bath look’s fantastic. Great job

[@jennygidluck5497]

Look at the bright side, the claw legs will collect dust in the crevices, but the smooth legs won’t. There is nothing wrong with those legs!😊

[@desiree3488]

Not air dry clay but two part Appoxy for the feet. Rust inhibitors should be used on the whole feet back and front too.

[@anitamiller5913]

OMG I never got a notification that you uploaded. My hot Saturday night is watching the English family. The tub looks awesome and so does the new to you truck.

[@lindaopperthauser2284]

Hard work payoff!! Beautiful tub!! With a FORD ya really cant go wrong!!

[@carolynhiscock9457]

Your hard work finally paid off .

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

You go girl! Beautiful

[@mikkileon6380]

You did it❣️❣️❣️ you didn’t let it defeat you. no matter how much work it took, and so much more time than you ever imagined, and even after things going terribly wrong, even though you did everything right but you didn’t give up and you kept working until you found out what would make your treasured bathtub looks like new again, Seriously blood sweat and tears!!! And you did it. You did it hats off👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Oh my goodness the faucet hardware, holy moly that is vintage and gorgeous❣️❣️❣️ I actually am working on a special table and it needed to have lions paw feet. It’s a solid oak table gorgeous and perfect condition and I got it on Facebook marketplace for $50 and I thought oh I will turn in to a clawfoot table😜. And doing quite a bit on this table everything from Dcup to silicone molds. But my health went downhill when I bought the stuff to do it so I’m just waiting to get well enough. You know how hard it is to accomplish things we want when we’re unwell and it’s taking time three years but I will get there if there’s a will, there’s a way right… So when you’re ready if you want to work at trying to do that I think it’s great do it later when the weather is not good for an outdoor project and sitting around you want to work on it and it’s inexpensive and your imagination knows no bounds. You can do it when the time is right.

[@margarettallett762]

Gnarly tub war! Elisha persevered & conquered !! It looks awesome!

[@mayetcrawley5535]

Hi English Family, the bathtub looks amazing!!! You had no need to buy a new one coz yours looks like new now. I know it was a lot of work but it was sooooo worth it. Having renovated our last house ( a Victorian (1901) house) I spent a lot of time saving original pieces, I wanted to because if they get thrown out you can never get them back. Well done both!!! X

It is turning out so gorgeous great work 🤩

[@scc6454]

Keep your eyes open for claw foot replacements maybe at an antique shop. You can also buy new replacements. I read that all feet are replaceable if the tub had been made in the last 100 years.

[@labbrockington7854]

That tub looks so good, along with that Ford. Great job, guys.I'm sorry the boys are not feeling well. God bless you and your family 🐴🤗

[@Hearth_and_Hawthorn]

One of my subscribers recommended your channel because I talk about "real" homesteaders in one of my videos and I'm so glad they did. Then I saw you post on the Homesteading Women of Nova Scotia facebook group and thought, I really need to go watch some videos. I loved this video! I have a love for trucks too. I test drove a F150 and loved it but the gas cost scared me so we got a Colorado truck and love it. A good compromise for the truck lover with a tight gas budget! I love that you are fixing up that truck and so far it looks amazing. That tub too! Holy crap. Amazing! We just bought our house in the valley last June and the bathroom needs a gut but I'm so focussed on getting my gardens set up and woodland managed that the inside of the house has to wait. Anyway, glad you were recommended :)

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Aww thank you so much ❤️

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hello Elysia Philip & boys,the tub is so beautiful & nice job on your truck.I hope the boys are better soon.❤️

[@patriciapepe3013]

The tub looks amazing - just as I thought it would. Awesome job Elysia! All of your perserverance has paid off. You have preserved another piece of your home's history and I am so glad that you stuck with it. It is so worth it. Nice truck BTW!!!!

[@karenturner7983]

Your tub and truck look awesome. Praying your boys feel better soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@amypettipas1270]

I feel for the boys Elysia, because I was violently sick for 8 days and ended up in the QE2 with pneumonia. I’m on the mend now, thank to antibiotics😁 I sure hope they are on the mend, but chest infections are quite common with this flu bug. The Raptor grill is absolutely sick on your truck!! I can’t wait to see your black rims too! Finally the tub ….it looks amazing Elysia!, You put a lot of elbow grease on that baby and it was well worth it! Can’t wait to see the bathroom reveal 😉🤟🏼💜

[@marystanek7553]

Hello Amy! My husband had a UTI last Sept and was given antibiotics and antibiotics actually Kill all the good bacteria in the gut and he had really, really bad diarrhea as a consequence. We used Alot of antidiarreha pills, pepto bismol and maalox but did not help. Make sure you get probiotics like Align into you ASAP so you will not have this problem. It was a very hard lesson to learn! Probiotics are over the counter and easy to get. Wishing you well!

[@eileenmetzkow8475]

I hope the Boys are Well soon. 💕🙏🏼

[@susannahring-crawford2308]

It would look so great to do a couple of castings of goose feet! (Ask your Ferrier to make the feet into cast iron) weld them onto the bottom legs. Unique!!

[@patriciamoonlighter1560]

You did it beautiful bathtub.😊

[@caroljester7970]

The bath tub looks FABULOUS!! The truck looks like a new one. The grill is fantastic! Good job. You were talking about the bumpers: white or black? Have you considered the roll-on truck bed liner. It is flat black, has a texture, and will not get scratched doing hauling and homesteading chores. Just a thought. Many years ago, my ex and I got a 1951 Hudson and fixed it up and showed. Fun. My husband and I go to car shows now. It's not us but friends showing. Still fun. Sorry your boys are not feeling well. Prayers. Sometimes what seems like a great idea just doesn't work in a particular circumstance. You tried ducks; it didn't work. You made sure they are happily homed and moved on. Good for you.

[@OnlyKingJames]

The tub came out great! Looks brand new. Love the new truck grill, looks so much better.

[@louiseslok9916]

[@patriciasolecosta7124]

Tub looks amazing. What a great job; your determination sure paid off!!! You can purchase claw tubs for tubs, my friend did and did not regret it.

[@evelynmccagg9579]

You could have soaked the legs in vinegar & salt over night & it would eat the rust off & use a wire brush on them,then clear coat the back part,it works great on rusty tools also,I've left mine soaking for 3 days & it eats the rust off,wire brush them & oil them..

[@chipper841]

It is NOT just a beautiful tub, but a STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!👍 Your truck has to have a name! Please share with us when y'all name her, will ya???

[@debracutler6847]

Just Wow on both.

[@lassie1973]

We had a claw foot tub in our Heritage home but someone boxed it in so you couldn't see the feet😖,I wasn't too happy about that part our tub always looked dirty though no matter how hard I scrubbed it and with what I used, it was very pitted,I bought the Klenks tub kit too, but even though we had 2 bathrooms it was the only one with the tub and shower so it was always in use, not a chance of waiting for it to dry, I'm glad now it's alot of work and the kit and prep kit were not cheap! Then next thing I know my husband and I split up and we had to sell my beautiful house! I left it there in case the new owners wanted to try it, it was bought and rented out, I had and still do have a love for a Primitive style they showed the pics and they had done almost everything that I wanted to do with it new interlocking wood floors in the whole downstairs and painted the whole walk in pantry room white instead of the wood paneling on the walls one whole side was drawers and cabinets from top to bottom and the pine wood made it so dark in there, oh well maybe I will have another old house to enjoy but I hope to have a handy man in my life because I am in a wheelchair I want my own apartment first anyway with my Primitive cabinets and Hutch and my vintage and antiques around me but I have to get rid of more because my apartment will be small likely
