The Stately Tudor - EXTREME DIY Home Renovation Start To Finish

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks so much for watching! It's so surreal to look over the past year and how far this project has come! We appreciate you all!

[@JoyceSwaffard]

You guys are amazing. Your floors are fabulous. Great job on them. My husband and I use to do a lot of building and remodel, but, never to this extent. Sarah, when I saw you doing all the heavy lifting with the rocks and blocks, I said to myself, " that girl's got game". Continued good vibes and prayers for you and your sweet family. I'm 77 now and can no longer do this type of work but I can sure appreciate what you are doing.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you so much!we appreciate your kind words!!

[@moriahkats6775]

I would highly recommend putting a fence up around the pool to keep your kids safe when playing out in the yard. Just one less thing to worry about when coming to your kids safety

[@MrDeanmfitz]

Screw em

[@RobynWatts]

Wow what a pure renovation magic! The homeowners' commitment to transforming every corner of their house is commendable, and the final result is nothing short of spectacular. This video is a fantastic motivator for anyone considering a DIY renovation project.

[@orlandifam]

It’s beautiful! Always keep those diamond windows! They make the house, in my opinion! You guys really did a great job!

[@terrijuanette486]

Something we did for our pool that I'm SUPER happy about is installing the UltraUV by Paramount. It's a blue light that kills bacteria (including cryptosporidium) and makes it so you can use a fraction of the chlorine most pools require. Seriously less chlorine. You cannot smell chlorine at all at our pool nor when we get out of the water. Our neighbors heard about it and did it for their pool too. Unlike salt water it doesn't damage the pool nor the pipes. For the first 3 or 4 years after buying the house we struggled with algae. Eventually, we emptied our pool, had a service remove and install a new sealer coating (which turned out beautiful). With that changed we installed a new DE filter, pump and added the Ultra UV. Since then, we've not had a single issue with algae. Not one. The pool is glorious and bright and clean every single day with 1/2 the work than before - and less cost because we're not using all those toxic chemicals (only a very little bit of chlorine). I highly recommend it!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Ahh that’s interesting! I’ll look into it! Chemicals are expensive 🫠Thank you!

[@hardywhitehead501]

Keep the diamond shape windows. That’s what makes it a Tudor. Love it all. Great work. Blessings for continued work.

[@DD-ek3ik]

Wow you two are amazing. I was so inspired by your can do attitude and hard work! Also inspired by your creativity, problem solving and strong commitment to doing quality work. It’s clear what it takes to create wealth - and it’s not easy. But seems highly rewarding.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you so much!

[@scottvandyke6468]

Please keep some of the diamond Windows it looks so pretty

[@graciemaca6996]

This Reno is like night and day. The green accents with gold are really cool! I especially ❤ the little green bathroom. The floor tiles are gorgeous! Everything you both have accomplished is stunning. Please keep the diamond windows bc they are unique. Looking forward to your future endeavors. 😊👍

[@traceymansfield9347]

Wow taking those walls down made such a difference 😁

[@ViKee010]

Wish I could have given you this little self learning idea before all the popcorn ceiling was taken down, but for future reference, here it is. My son’s bathroom had the same kind of popcorn ceiling and from his showers, it actually started falling down. So the steamer would have been a big benefit in just letting that popcorn fall down on it own. So much easier than scraping. I love your new home. ✌🏻🤍

[@christinestephenson1742]

Oh and I agree!! Keep the diamond windows! Thet are a distinctive part of the architecture!

[@sr-lk7ol]

I really enjoyed the work but also liked watching both of you as a couple. Great job!

[@dana44ism]

I can hardly wait to see the pool room. I hope you two will share the upstairs with us as well:)

[@suzzane.notsusan.1078]

You guys have done an OUTSTANDING job but can we talk about that front door OMG I LOVE that door by far its my FAVORITE hands down and yes it looks like its always been there. Everything is AWESOME the backyard OMG i can go on and on its all REALLY REALLY GOOD. BEAUTIFUL JOB chip and joanna Gaines had some competition. Be proud at you equity sweat its a labor off love which your girls will be very happy growing up in such a beautiful home. ❤

[@mahsabakhshandeh8244]

I cannot believe the amount of work you two have done just by yourselves!!! I totally admire you guys!! Sometimes when sarah explained her ideas I wondered if it were going to look good and it actually turned out not good but awesome!! Keep up the good work you too♥️♥️ Your huge fan ☺️

[@toryminier3760]

I did this exact thing running a shop vac at bottom of pool and pooring outside pool 1000's of times as an 8 year old. Really makes you appreciate a pool.

[@laurelherman8538]

This has to be the best renovation on you tube. I can’t get over the amount of light coming in the rooms… you both are doing a fabulous job and I can’t wait to see the rest!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Aww thanks a ton! 😊😊

[@moriahkats6775]

Thank you for not painting that fireplace! Looks so good the way it is!

[@elizabethbeem7541]

Absolutely dying to see a finished sunroom/mud room update!!

[@lawrencemitchell5983]

Wow, congratulations 👍. Love, love that front door.....also, the way the green in the great room and dining room pulled everything together 🤗. My back hurt just watching all the flooring install Jamie, but well done!

[@christinestephenson1742]

Gorgeous home! You two amaze me with your talent! Seems like every DIY you do turns out looking professional! I adore your antique front doors and you guest bathroom. You had a vision for this house and it is coming to life! Enjoy your home!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you so much!

[@jeannemccowan.3938]

Tremendous amount of work…but absolutely a beautiful outcome!

[@carolelee571]

All your homes have been lovely. I am positive this home will be just as lovely.

[@monicariske]

Oh my... a long video ❤❤❤❤❤ 🤩 Excited to see everything all together!

[@Hookstohugs]

I love how industrious you guys are! The small bathroom is my favourite room, however you’ve made the place look incredible inside and out x

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks a ton!

[@evalinawarne1337]

.

[@ourlittleclaytonia4608]

I love it! My only concern with having a kitchen NOT overlook the backyard is you can’t keep an eye on kids as well if your doing dishes or cooking dinner.

[@lyndasmith9972]

Great job! Love all the hard work you both have done! ❤😊

[@cspvideo]

This is an engaging video. It takes a great deal of planning to create a story of this length that will hold viewer interest throughout. The flashbacks were cleverly placed. Congratulations on a great piece of storytelling AND the terrific work on your home.

[@manifesting_vibes]

Your not a mess guys your realistic and a thrill to watch because who doesn’t run into money, time and build delays lol i love it and your energy guys keep up the amazing work!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks so much! 😊😊

[@tashsikkes]

So proud of you guys, your home is absolutely stunning! Hard work has definitely paid off 🙌 🥳

[@scottvandyke6468]

I love your videos afro you guys been helping me through a lot are you still depression but I've been feeling better now 😀 😅 ❤

[@graciemaca6996]

I ❤ a stately English Tudor home! Awesome job on renovating the kitchen! Changing the location for the kitchen then opening up the walls (altho very costly) was the best idea for this home.👍 Gorgeous Emerald green cabinets and wallpaper in the foyer. The one thing I would have different is to have only one colour for the hardware, faucet and stove-cover. Either all gold, or all copper, but not a mix. I would have chosen all copper, including a copper sink, faucet, stove-cover, drawer-pulls and copper on the stove knobs and handle instead of silver and copper lighting. But I realize that it's your home, your decision.😊 I ❤❤❤ the curved front door, so elegant! Love the pool, gazebo and curved retaining walls! This just shows that anyone with the notion, energy and $$ can accomplish so much by DIY. You weren't afraid to try new things and it worked out faster and beautifully for you! Looking forward to future changes at your new home!❤👍

[@Brittany_Thurman]

You both are so talented. I love everything about the house

[@Andy-uy2ts]

Beautiful job,colours look amazing,well done to you both. 🇬🇧

[@jennifersmith8640]

You have great taste in Pasta Sauce! lol Mid's is made locally to me. I've always loved the look of Tudor homes.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

😋😀

[@joannhempen8210]

I think your kitchen idea was brilliant! Plus. It turned out beautiful!

[@RemoteBuilder]

Your home is absolutely stunning! Hard work has definitely paid off 🙌 🥳

[@TheTmayder]

So much hard work, but you guys seem to be enjoying it a lot! I would have been done about a quarter of the way, lol

[@keepitreal86]

I love the kitchen idea!! Can't wait to see what you guy's do to this beautiful home!!

[@beckymerriner2493]

They are truly think that your kitchen should go there. I’m with you, Sarah.

[@selenadiaz5784]

You guys must be so proud! Amazing work 👏🏼

[@michellepereira2328]

You did a great job. I live all the green color and wallpaper. I wondered if it might make sense to paint the molding on the green dining room wall the same color as the wall. You were so lucky to find the copper hood and front door.

[@leithsapitan1428]

You guys amaze me.i am exhausted and i just watched.

[@robertastewart-fite1337]

I love the kitchen becoming a sun room idea and moving the kitchen to the front.

[@olgacampbell3918]

Hi Guys! Beautiful work ❤ Greetings from Coachella valley 🌴

[@jenniferl6553]

Thank you for this awesome, long video. I even enjoyed re-watching some of the video that I saw quite some time ago. Wow, u two are incredibly hard working and both definitely got a good catch in the other! Everything looks AMAZING. As for the windows, have some be diamond shape and some plain but definitely don't have some square shape. 3 different ways is too much. I think the concrete would look much, much better if you added a stain to it (if that's possible). I think the floors and range hood are my favorite parts, and the stairs look awesome too. You guys should be very proud of yourselves, u really turned this home into a show stopper!

[@philandheatherfujimoto4331]

Looks amazing guys. So inspiring!! God bless.

[@shelleybuckley444]

So happy for your family.. you’re on the right track!!

[@gaylecleveland9717]

Looking forward to the sun room. Everything is beautiful!

[@conniemaldonado6097]

Hard workers!!! Congrats!!!

[@Peptalk1w34]

Kudos to all your hard work 🎉. Looks awesome

[@vickichenier8917]

I love the idea of that room as the kitchen. I love my kitchen open to the great room. Then you can feel more included instead of being isolated. You’ll be very thrilled with the popcorn gone. Next popcorn removal take your 1 or 2 gal weed sprayer. First fill your tank with warm water and spray a decent section of your popcorn area with your warm water. Wait about 5 minutes. The popcorn will shave right off. ( I have a sprayer I bought new that I only use for that purpose, so it has no chemical residue.)

[@barbwelch8148]

I love your house, so beautiful ❤ may I ask where did you get your vintage lights in your guest bathroom 😊I love the green paint on your cupboards and in the bathroom 😊💚💐

[@irinadelong4284]

Your house is so beautiful! Absolutely awesome job! ❤

[@keepitreal86]

Omggggg I absolutely love love love what you guy's did so beautiful ❤️❤️

[@KatieGibbons1000]

Congratulations! Your home is beautiful.

[@Iloveskulls4326]

I love what you both did to the house, it's absolutely stunning! I really like both of you as well, very down to earth people and that made it easier to watch this from beginning to end 😊 I am a new subscriber as of today ❤

[@beckymerriner2493]

That little freezer in the camper you could put that broth in there, so don’t spoil if you freeze it

[@MamaKP]

Your house looks amazing! I am in love with your new kitchen. ❤ I can’t stop thinking about that cobblestone backsplash but I can’t find a link for it. Could you put a link or tell me where you bought it?

[@conniesisco6468]

I was looking for the link as well! Those tiles are gorgeous.

[@beverleyoakland298]

Agree popcorn ceilings date the house. Removing the cedar strip is also a great idea as your eye does stop your eye. Good design desisios! Love what your doing. From. So. Calif.

[@romylongpre9275]

The darker tile from the island would have looked so good as the backsplash with the copper hood!!

[@tamaracarlson4290]

Fantastic job it all looks beautiful.

[@glendalab7567]

Talk about sweat equity!! Love everything you've done. Kudos!!

[@hardywhitehead501]

Awesome work. Congratulations. Cannot wait to see finished house.

[@roslynmorris7697]

Absolutely beautiful!!! ❤

[@morganmueller7737]

Congrats! I really look up to you both as a couple when it comes to your faith and real estate endeavors. 😊 is the a culmination of all the stately tutor videos of the last year? It’s feel familiar and I want to make sure I’m not watching what I’ve seen. Thanks!!

[@kristineg9816]

You guys work so hard!

[@kennethkempjr3531]

Its beautiful guys I’m happy for y’all.

[@cyrusready-campbell1874]

what color is the dining room paint? looks great!

[@aliqod4086]

The cheap wash basin is with the rough plumbing instead of where the sinks are. I figured that out when I was installing a wash tub in my basement. LOL

[@susanlee101]

Love it!! For stairs, best to start at the top not the bottom.

[@MeBeingAble]

I wouldnt use caulk for nail holes. Always use wood putty. I luv your green, my fav room is your kitchen, the powder room is cute & cosy. Your home is beautiful. Well done❤

[@JDMish]

That front door *chef's kiss*

[@ananunez8374]

It would be really great if you guys incorporate on your secondary kitchen to the pool area the concept the Three Birds Renovations use in their make over. Check them out, it would look great and modern and would be used a lot by you guys.

[@brennahammons524]

Yay! Congratulations!

[@MisheleWalkerLPC]

I don’t like green but I love this color ! Nice job on the kitchen.

[@heavenlymorsels]

Lovely - so much work though so worth it - it’s all beautiful 😍 though quick question - what happened to no green paint in the dining room? 😅

[@jenniferl6553]

lol Sarah couldn't help herself, she even had a green sweater on at the end which made me laugh. kudos to Jamie for letting her go with the green dining room, it looks awesome and makes everything cohesive

[@beckymerriner2493]

The one in the sunroom I would make it bigger so when you’re outside, you could open that up and be able to handle things out through the window, because isn’t that where the pool is?

[@BrendaC-cf7td]

Rice in bone broth. Also could be canned for later use or frozen

[@cottonp20]

For future reference, pine should have a coat of sealer on the wood before it is stained, it is so porous that it absorbs stain unevenly,I use a clear or "blonde" shellac ,which is made with a alcohol base,that makes it dry in minutes, an hour at the most! It is then qwikly sanded to cut off the raised grain, that is usually done with a 220 grit sanding sponge!, then use a tack rag to get rid of the dust, then the wood will stain more like a hardwood like oak,that doesn't let the stain penetrate like pine does! FYI, pine is notorious for not staining evenly! Probably the hardest wood to get a good even color! But using a shellac,or maybe what MINWAX calls wood conditioner,( which is very close to the same thing), just more expensive and it takes longer to dry! But when pine is sealed, the stain will go on evenly! It is a little more work, but it will definitely make the difference!

[@charlakirby4136]

The usual rule is double the budget and triple the time. I can’t wait see it done!

[@pamaladraeger]

The thing about a high ceiling in the kitchen is that if you cook in a kitchen grease and steam go up to the ceiling. Even with exhaust fans and vent hoods. How will you clean it?

[@rosefazio1859]

You don’t have a lot of cabinets, where are you putting all your food, dishes, pots and pans, and small appliances?

[@brendamcadams9122]

Crock Pot w/chicken breast boneless and skinless w/chicken broth and spices;slow cook until pulled apart for a dinner with tiny potatoes or sandwiches,really delicious!

[@beckymerriner2493]

I think that was a great idea because next to the paint even the primer, it looks yellow

[@fstoll3]

I would recommend a nice dolly to move the bulky and heavy items. Also, I think if you had packed up all of your personal kitchen items before starting the removal of the old kitchen would at the very least been less stressful with the project.

[@katieheidinger4635]

Good job!!!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you!

[@fstoll3]

A KZbinr that goes by "Bonz" he and his family remodel and build homes in the Seattle Washington region, had a video about using a spray on the ceiling to make the drywall smooth, it didn't take him very long, the uneven particles basically just came right off. You should look up his video and find out what was the spray he made.

[@dana44ism]

Very nice guys!

[@amandahutchison5360]

That garden is just awesome, love the house but personally I have always hated diamond windows as they are a real pain to clean, love the new layout

[@dianamiller2448]

I think that diamond panel is in between the glass and can be removed easily by taking off the inside glass. I had windows like that. They were Pella windows. I think she mentioned earlier video that they was removable. I could be wrong but they do make them removable. FYI

[@babytoolz4u]

I know they're ugly but I would definitely look into getting a fence around the pool especially with young children. It takes one second for them to fall in

[@mariamarlow7834]

Defiantly swap the kitchen, great sunlight in there mx

[@Millenialtuber1]

I know this project is already done. Next time you’re doing popcorn ceilings, you need to use a sprayer and spray water and then scrape ❤

[@terrijuanette486]

If that is a 'Weeping Willow' in front of your house - right beside it? IF it is, I would relocate it. Willows are gorgeous (and get too large for where it's sitting) but the worst of it is the roots of the Willow tree is notorious for seeking out water and destroying pipes under the home & in the ground as it grows to it's full height.

[@JadeBlackWolf]

You can use it to boil noodles just to give them extra umami.

[@had2galsinthebooth]

I've never tried a steamer. Always just hit it with a Paper Tiger then a mist bottle with any temperature water handy. soak it down good as many times as it takes then scrape it off. Paper Tigers are cheap and simple.

[@ryleevavra8619]

It’s a movieeeeeee 💃

[@delrosario7453]

You can use bone broth instead of water to cook savory dishes such as quinoa, rice, pasta, etc.

[@Glomonkey]

Sarah gives me teacher vibes
