Early post!! I have a cheap house, now I gotta get my nice kitchen lol

[@MTKDofficial]

100%

[@keradee8742]

To be fair to my friends in Texas, you're probably paying for the land the house is on more than the house itself.

[@paulmlemay]

All I can say is you are really good at this! Thank you for your wonderful videos. I'm just beginning to remodel a house (with a contractor) and really benefit from your wisdom.

[@MTKDofficial]

Hey Paul! Thanks so much. I'm glad you find my content helpful!

12:32 Lubbock (I've never been there, I 've heard it pronounced LUBbuck) and this kitchen looks like a great space and almost a blank canvas at first glance. Counter space, storage, and natural light over the sink. It's a fixer-upper, but it has great potential if the rest of the house is sound.

[@5610winston]

14:15 Yeah, the 45 degree blocks at the toe kick ends will be in my final design. Not a fan of raspberry sundae paint schemes, but my friend Benjamin Moore can fix that.

[@tamaramartin4015]

It seems to me that some of the nicest kitchens are in modern mobile or modular homes. Definitely a selling point for me.

[@karengilmore2906]

I agree that the Tampa, FL one won out.... although,the Pink Palace was a close second. :)

[@GardenGirl1994]

That was so much fun Mark !!! Love it !!!

[@bettysuffle]

Lubbock is 350 miles from my home town. My niece goes to college there. (Her tiny apartment has a super cute kitchen.) Anyway, both syllables have a short u sound.

[@johannagrant3286]

Fun video! Appreciate learning from other people's mistakes ... lol

[@---ey6hj]

That’s amazing, I didn’t know Santa was selling his his winter home in Lubbock AND his summer home in Sydney. You know the economy must not be good if he’s doing that

[@LoloDawn]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MTKDofficial]

100%

[@bettysuffle]

I agree that the Tampa, Florida kitchen is the best 💯%. However, you say it's blue and I see green.

[@kdockrey]

Contingent means that they accepted an offer to buy it and they are in the escrow period before the sale is final.

[@N0obusMaximus]

It's a good thing I found this channel because my kitchen is held together with duct tape.

[@MTKDofficial]

haha.. That would make a good video!

[@5610winston]

16:28 I like the jalousie glass window over the sink. I'll look into that. When I reframe my kitchen exterior wall I have two jalousie windows to replace weathered top-hinged windows in my basement. Can't think of a reason not to do that for the living space as well. Well, it might be drafty, but it's a source of make-up air for the vented OTR, crack the crank 3/4 turn, atill gets natural light, and not quite the view into the next-door neighbor's kitchen. On the other hand, I'm gurssing those louvers are awfully fiddly to clean.

[@joeyl695]

Just follow up on energy efficiency. The older jealousies windows were drafty, I don’t know about the new ones.

[@5610winston]

15:30 A great blank canvas. Air BnB potential!

[@mikerudd4943]

Fun video. Just for those in Texas..the way Ya'll say it down here might sound more like Lub Buc

[@RFB722]

I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro and I live in Mansfield which is next to Arlington, TX.

[@RFB722]

My oldest attended Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX. To say: luh-buhk or luh-buck. I don’t recommend drinking Lubbock water, it is milky. I grew up in the panhandle of Texas and most used bottled water back then.

[@two_hands7455]

0:48 I would ask for a space for a refrigerator.

[@trinaroe5132]

Can’t believe those prices in CA. I’d guess scam ads! 😂

[@5610winston]

11:14 Is that a pass-through from the sink side into living space?

[@i.f.7386]

What can you recommend for renovation if it’s not possible to change the layout of cabinets because of gas and water pipes? How can I make it nice and different instead of just replacing old cabinets to new?

[@MTKDofficial]

Even if you can't change the layout, you'd likely benefit from newer more functional cabinetry with proper accessories. However, you could also have your cabinets fitted with a few pullouts or other accessories that makes them more usable. Sometimes , changing the fixtures (sink, faucet, hardware) can make a nice difference.

[@i.f.7386]

@@MTKDofficial thanks ❤️

[@darlene19668]

Contingent means their are prior requirements or certain requirements...educational video👍🏻😂😂😂lub(not lube)-bock (buck)😂😂😂...we lived near Kountz TX at one time try to say that😂😂😂 or Kosciusko Mississippi lol

[@adac5338]

Does this include USD vs CDN ? If not, the American houses are an additional 30% in Canadian dollars.

[@MTKDofficial]

USD

[@kdockrey]

My bet is the kitchen cabinets in the $50K are made out of MDF. 😂

[@edwardcasper5231]

Lots of "boob" lights.

[@MTKDofficial]

100%

[@bluedrummajor2876]

LUH buhk says a man from SAN anTOHnio.
