What is the material for the “thin cement floor layer “ - it seems so interesting- I’d love to use it!

[@marky3131]

Common house plans look great. What is great is a watching you both thinking and planning ahead and not rushing that process. My dad always preached the six P’s. Prior planning prevents piss poor performance. Well done

[@FlockFingerLakes]

I like your dad's motto! Very good. We'll have to borrow that phrase ;)

[@ja-uh9gz]

Sander is a good man! What a worker!💪😃

[@SeaTurtle515]

The skill set, creativity and work ethic between the two of you is quite impressive! 🌿

[@Alwaysherethere]

With Saunder working that place will be done in no time❤😊

[@barbarabranstetter1784]

It’s going to be fantastic when it’s finished. Saunder is a master craftsman!

[@rhodealexandre6583]

I love that project, your partnership and your journey. Together we can accomplish a lot. Sander is a hard worker but I believe you are all working hard in your own lane.

[@kathymacomber5115]

Saunder is amazing

[@FlockFingerLakes]

He truly is!

[@janerobinson6469]

Sander's attention to every detail is incredible. He is definately the Master Craftsman. He should belong to The European Guild of Mastercraftsmen / Journey men. Not sure there is one in America. Love your Channel. Hugs Mel bourne, Australia

It's going to look so great! You do amazing work! Thank you for the tour.

[@allierhodes6783]

I love to see it!!! You guys are making great progress. You rock!

[@EighteenandCloudy]

You've made great progress on all the structural elements, I'm amazed how much you've accomplished since your last video about the downstairs area. I'm forever impressed by your courage and willingness to take on big engineering jobs yourselves too, like stabilising the floor under the kitchen and moving the beam so that you can install toilet plumbing. Well done, it's really taking shape.

[@ghamandi]

You might want to make and run some CR boxes to help with the dust and indoor air quality :)

[@pingsmileful]

bathroom in the mud room is the goal! have you thought of installing some sort of shower? I have a dog and that is the most useful to use.

[@FlockFingerLakes]

Both of the bedrooms will have master bathrooms and there will be an outdoor shower, which will be seasonal. Not one in the mud room, as it’s just a sink and toilet. Not enough space for another shower.

[@sharonknorr1106]

So much hard work happening here, I am so impressed. It's going to be great. Looking forward to watching the progress and seeing how you do stuff.

[@karendurston2528]

wow, how inspiring.

[@rickyt3961]

amazing progress! thanks for the update. looking good!

[@mariagamboa6249]

Wow! Keep going 🙌

[@sheilacasper2030]

Have you solved the rodent problem? I hope you have. This is such a great project for you all. When its finished it will be awesome!

[@FlockFingerLakes]

Yes. Luckily. We found the hole that they were coming through.

[@echomoonstar8235]

Love your channel and your renovations! I have a question about the in-wall toilet… if you are planning to install a plant wall where the toilet tank is, how would you access the tank if you end up having problems with it and need to repair it?

[@FlockFingerLakes]

We may not need a tank for the green wall (I didn't have one in my Brooklyn apartment) because it was directly connected to the plumbing lines.

[@FlockFingerLakes]

And in regards to the toilet tank, the concealed cisterns are designed to be serviced and have parts replaced simply by removing the faceplate of the buttons. Pretty ingenious. Europeans had it figured it long time ago.

[@echomoonstar8235]

@@FlockFingerLakes Wow! That’s ingenious! I am planning a tiny house build and had never heard of in-wall systems. Such a great space saver!

[@FlockFingerLakes]

incredible space savers. We have that small bathroom in the mudroom and it seems as if it'll save us at least 8", if not more. @@echomoonstar8235

[@ghamandi]

How is the permits and inspection process?

[@FlockFingerLakes]

Pretty straightforward here.

[@jsalvame]

What happened to the third person?

[@FlockFingerLakes]

you mean the 3 other people? ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHirpZuugrNnf6csi=Nd1vj7cLn4FGhPXi&t=249

You have our supportive vibes, being sent your way, even if they should turn the Internet off. The electrician can find hidden electrical lines. There's an affordable instrument, for that, if you have another building to check. ☑️ 🐔🤔 🏚️🏡🏠
