Here's an idea. You got 3 kids & animals. If you don't want that to turn into a catch all junk room you're going to need closets for coats and storage cabinets for shoes/boots (up to the ceiling). Remove the right window (looking from living room) and put all enclosed storage along that wall. Change the door into an all glass one (move old door to outside). This will bring more light into the house.

@kathrynmauro8673 Ай бұрын

Wow! That sounds great! I was thinking full-length open cubbies for each person. A bench inside the cubbies to sit on and put shoes on or take them off and footwear storage below. A hook to hang jackets. And a small cubby on top with a basket to hold gloves/mittens, hats, and scarves.

Good morning Gary! I guess this is the “Gary Show”? You’ve become wonderfully comfortable @ filming now Gary & we appreciate you! Abe thank you for helping Dad! The mud room is going to be an essential part of your home! Great job Gary! Mel as always we appreciate all your time & effort into editing these videos 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

@lucasoorschot780 Ай бұрын

I'd say leave those windows and door where they are. They are perfectly installed, properly sealed/taped and do let some light in and can serve as a way to condition the mudroom somewhat. And yes, they may be a bit overkill in terms of insulation when they become semi-interior windows, but you do keep the option to let the mudroom be as cold/hot as you want without having that leak into the house.

So cute Gary with Abe in the background there with his hat and glasses on looks like a mini Gary.

Hi when Abe was walking on the mud room boards, I noticed how big his feet are … he looks like he’s going to be tall like his Dad when he grows up.😊

Gary, I already knew by your actions that you loved Mel & wanted her to be happy , when you said that , was so sweet 💖

Good morning guys, I’m watching from NC. We’ve been without power for a couple days due to hurricane Helene. We now have power, but no internet. I have it on my phone, but it’s in and out. I was so happy that I was able to get it to work long enough to watch you guys. I’m grateful, thankful & blessed!❤

Love the new addition. I'd leave windows for now. But I hope when doing your mud room you think about a small bench built in for easier shoe removal . It will help as you grow older.

@kathleenmcginley4827 Ай бұрын

Just a suggestion, the east side of the mudroom to have 2 transom windows at eye levelish, so you can hang all the coats & gear below it on hooks. Looking good!

If Melissa wants the light its best to leave the windows where there at. You bring up a good point about the heat by just opening the windows. I like that thought. Without the windows you would maybe have to use a mini split system to get heat and cool in there. Your the boss, well Mel is. Do what makes you all happy.

@AdamofCA. Ай бұрын

Gary's has a good idea about leaving the front house windows as is. He has also clarified that the mud room will have wider horizontal windows that will provide plenty of light. Another bonus of the mud room is that the extra door thwarts robbers because any commotion gives Gary time to get in motion to load that deer rifle as he says, "Oh deer, a trespasser wants some "buck" shots.

If all you are using for the flooring in the mud room is stud material, you might have turned the board's edges into shiplap edging. That way you have some overlap and it would not be so cold in the winter. If you did not want to go the route of the shiplap routing then a roll of 90# tar paper would keep the critters out and create an air barrier. I am glad to hear you are putting down butyl or zip tape across the joists. The open ends of the joists are a magnet for water. This way they will last a lot longer. Just remember the importance of rolling if after. This activates the glue. A nice rubber mallet does a good job of rolling in a pinch... Congrats on progress!. I see you know the trick of using the speed square as a spacer.

@elizabethpratt8360 Ай бұрын

For the door and windows. They could save you that money if you moved them. You could just "finish" the windows and door frames to be a simple opening (for windows) and then an "archway" for the door! Saves money (can return the 2 new windows purchased and the new door) and still maintain the light into the living room! Downside would be the heating/cooling . . . the current windows and door allow you to keep the mudroom at different temps and not impact living quarters. But which ever way you decide, it is coming along great and will be awesome when finished!

If you want more natural light coming in perhaps you could install a sun tunnel in the areas that need more natural light. They are amazingly effective. Have you considered a wraparound set of steps up to the entrance?

One day,maybe next year,maybe 10 years from now,someone is going to stumble while coming through that doorway on the stoop.Suddenly Gary will remember that uneven little sliver of wood and will struggle within himself whether he should mention it or not. But then he realizes that somewhere in the video archives there is clear cut evidence of everything he fears most. But as long as Mel, the keeper of the archives,is not the one who stumbles, you should be in the clear, Gary.
