WILL WE REGRET THIS?! | Couple Building Off-Grid

[@joelink7665]

I strive to be like your dogs....always happy, never to hot or cold to play.....happy and content

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Us too! 😉

[@andreiiasi]

The green tiles reminded me of the old Soviet apartments back in 60'. Not my style but as long as you're happy with it , good job.

[@bchdsailor]

The happiest dogs south of the border Nice job with the bathroom

[@niellangner3668]

Shower looks great! Courtney is an artist. Riley, you are the second best looking redhead on this channel.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

[@rocoterra5184]

I see that fridge! You guys are kicking ass! Almost there!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

[@ravenmamba6780]

way of supporting this couple os by watching 6 ads..keep it up guys 🤟

[@Whipkick2]

I use a battery operated caulk gun, apply, work in with thin brick laying trowel, then sponge off. Less mess across the surface of the tilr.

[@norcoredneck]

Big day in the 100 Acre Woods. Congrats on the modern conveniences.

[@housegoth]

The side tail was very retro 80's, very nice.

[@ChrisACiufo]

Love the slo-mo dog shots (and the previous dog cam shots)

[@diecastdungeon8970]

The green tile is awesome. The entire shower is looking very, very good! You guys are really amazing. The dogs loved being out running a bit of energy off .... So they could get a big nap in.

[@roberta4989]

10:41 Riley says "this kind of job is definitely above my pay grade and attention span". Now that's funny!...

[@bevfrench3496]

you are so brave.....absolutely love your tile and grout.....again, brave lady.

[@HoodBillyLife]

From what I saw y’all did an awesome job

[@jscanlan22]

Try a cheap emergency blanket over cleared windscreens. Pull off to clear the accumulated snow.

[@davebodine1526]

That blanket can also get frozen to the wipers. That has happened to me and it is not easy to get off the wipers.

[@jscanlan22]

@@davebodine1526 leave wipers up

[@Dekn33s]

The story at the end ! Lol that is one of those things that’s so crazy you can’t make up. Glad you have REAL deal grout this time! So excited for the next video, you both have made an oasis in the woods !

[@tomscott3939]

hard rubber groutmaster trowel works good. and two sponges and change your water every so often helps!!

[@wilsil55]

Riley, there ya go I’m thinking Riley’s ponytail salon🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂

[@jibcot8541]

Time spent planning a layout is almost never a wasted. I once spent 1/2 a day with my wife planning the layout of a small piece of curved stone patio, it was so worth it, looked great.

[@goulash75]

I wish you guys did the tiling on our bathroom. The tilers we had didn't even think to put a slope towards the drain! (& let's not get into the dirt they put on the white grout before it had even set...)

[@AlohaPNW]

Would love to see a video going over more of the off grid solutions to water and power that you are setting up. I am also just working my way through the backlog of videos so maybe this comes up more in the future

[@shackman1306]

Thank you again. Shower looks great nice work. Have many many more wonderful days.

[@jeffphillips3796]

I just love the fact you used Lay down Sally as the music for tiling

[@bigunone]

Whole lot better idea than me having to use a flat blade screw driver and hammer to open up around my receptacle box so I can get the plate screws on

[@jimdegeorge5517]

Very stylish tileish smileish 😁

[@petermasson3676]

Courtney had a Napoleon Dynamite hairdo going on. Love the side ponytail.

[@glensmith766]

5:55 "I'm going to miter these so the joint is right" - cool, I didn't know those tile saws have a miter func.... oh. Well, that will do quite niceley. And that grout sponge system looks very helpful. Grout looks good from here. Looking forward to the new surround. Keep up the hard work.

[@tknoerle1451]

Riley & Courtney...you each are exceptionally meticulous and are fun to watch! Courtney is cuter though. LOL. I worked 5years setting tile AND running a large tile warehouse, so I appreciate how meticulous you are. Thanks for all your videos, and clips of Courtney being so gosh awesome fun to watch...that "jump" into outdoor clothes was fabulous fun, Courtney!

[@dougcramblit3461]

Love your show! It reminds, My wife and I of our journey through life. We are self taught Home Remodelers. Made a great living Remodeling Bathrooms and Kitchens. Allowed us to work in-doors year round in Texas. You have KZbin to teach you, nothing like that when we started. A trick an old sheetrocker taught us, to help keep mud dust to a minnum while working inside, Was to use a wet wash rag and bucket of water, to sand. First use your mud blade to shave off the ridges, then wash. We had families living in our remodels so had to clean every night. We also love that area of North Idaho. Our family vacations on our land in Washington. A Hundred miles North of Spokane, has the Same terrain.

[@billyweston949]

White viniger for final wipe down to get rid of the haze in ur clean water and same after you seal the grout

[@tonysloggett]

I love that you put the temperatures in Celsius/Centigrade, saved me looking it up thank you Courtney :)

[@marcelorojash]

the way you handle details shows love over what you doing, congrats!

[@brianvandy4002]

You're welcome, for the leaf blower tip. ;)

[@ze_german2921]

I would like to highly recommend “Mapei Flexcolor QC Grout”, it comes in a bucket and it is Resin Based, you won’t need to seal it and there is hardly any clean-up. I won’t use traditional grout ever again.

[@joesalle2964]

i adapted a rubber pad to an old palm sander so that when grouting it pushed in the grout way way better no voids

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That is a great idea!

[@steves524]

RILEY a wizard with the grinder cutting that hole, looks great…..

[@steveadams4009]

Wow, guys that shower looks great. The ponytail is pretty nice buddy I'm sure you're going to make someone a great wife.

[@davidspilman531]

That Dinner or supper looked really good !!! Do you know about keeping a small pan of water on your stove to help with humidity I burned wood for over 30 years and that’s what we did that’s all we had for heat was wood only !! The count down is coming to take a shower I’m wondering what your doing about a curtain Thank you for letting me go on your hike also I did get a little chilly !!!!

[@trevormorris866]

Courtney, your spontaneous chuckle / laugh gets me smiling every time 😊 Wicked sense of humour.😂

[@robertbass5283]

The Shower looks AWESOME ❗️

[@truegent68]

Awesome job on the tiling guys 👍

[@kululv]

love your shower! what a great job! congratulations! and I really like the floor tiles in the shower! And I like the side tail, looks really good!

[@garybalanesi610]

Looks quite good, can you Send snow to Us.. it's a drought here. Let the tile dry well. Well deserved break.

[@MyFREEFrugalHomestead]

I did Black Grout with white Subway Tiles in a shower in an LA CA House years ago. Looked Great.......but was a pain in the butt to clean up . Took forever. Just watched your Barn-dominium Build. Looks Great. I am an LA CA Escapee on wooded lake Lot, 45 Miles West of you Guys. Watched your camper Build then KZbin has just now feed me your New Shop Apartment Build. I was inspired to get my Travel Trailer under roof behind the Barn and build out an apartment in the barn'ish Building this Spring.....after Chemo. Best. enjoyed seeing the Build.

[@nick.letsgofishing3030]

Excellent job 👏 👍 👌 🙌!!

[@jackhembree2503]

What a wonderful couple. I myself am a brown eyed redhead. Since I'm passed seventy it's somethings hard to prove. If you want to eliminate those iced over an cold vehicles simply get a milk house heater and 100 foot 10 or 12 guage extension cord. Put it in your vehicle plug 15 minutes, ice gone car warm. I been doing that in northern Missouri for over thirty years. Works great in ice storms. By the way you guys rock..

[@davebodine1526]

They are off-grid. That would take a lot of electricity, but it is a good idea for people on the grid.

[@robertbullitt7878]

Riley, I have done quite a bit of tile work but Dude, cutting that big hole in a tile, the way you did, I take my hat off, I have dropped my spoon and dropped the mike! Courtney, girl you are just killin' the finish and grout work. Great job great team work

[@johnmorgan5377]

I think you guys are doing well bless from phill&christine England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@davidjackman5773]

Things are really coming together, guys. Great job! Helpful hint...maybe... an old discarded or damaged solid core door and pair of plastic sawhorses make a great work bench. It stores easily when you don't need it, and easy set up and take down. It will easily hold your tile cutter and saws. And inexpensive.

[@fishingboats7197]

I liked the grey lol You should have done grey green grey green grey green grey green grey green hahaha Looks good

[@mikewilson4141]

Shower area looks great ! I would have never picked them colors, they look great together !

[@PWlangford1]

Lots of good tips on all of this. Im going to look for that grouting sponge and bucket 🇨🇦

[@AmbitionStrikes]

The specific one I have is no longer available, but here is a similar one! amzn.to/3gtIy4x

[@bobhale8325]

Glad the tile grout came off easily. Neat sponge tool

[@MTJeepin]

Love the progress!

[@keonikaig9247]

Beautiful...dang , lots of work on da grout... Loooks G R E A T.....🌴😎🌴

[@ruslanruslan6828]

Work done in a professional manner. 👏

[@chechygalvarez2269]

Laughing at you...installing and tiling (here an expert in this business, a real grandpa and tile installer) I'm so happy for you. You are doing great. A big hug

[@chasmarischen4459]

A 10'x10' well insulated shed, with a waterbed heating pad under the tank, with a 'Temperature Cube' that kicks-on at approx 38 degrees and off at 43 will keep it from freezing; unless it gets to minus 20 below zero for a few days. A remote water temp sensor can let you know the temp of the water, if you need to add another heat source. Like an automatic floating Aquarium heater (250 watts). Note: That large of a 'Mass' of water is hard to freeze.

[@peter_scholtes_]

By the way, I love your ponytail. 😊😊

[@GPDIY]

Great job, that looks awesome!

[@grahameida7163]

I have found, mix the grout a little dry and wipe the tiles with a wet sponge before your grout, seems to work better than a dry tile

[@cennsa140driver]

Grouting tip. To clean off the grout take a big sponge wipe a small section, turn the sponge over then clean the sponge. Repeat on another section until finished. Go back to the beginning and do it again. This way you minimize smearing the grout. Usually on the third pass the tiles are totally clean!

[@luminyam6145]

I love those tiles, they are beautiful.

[@jamesheidema]

Super work guys! Sweeeeet!

[@ricklarouche4105]

Found a KZbin video where a guy used a new empty caulk tube (Amazon) and filled it with grout to fill his shower tile joints. It kept the mess down, and used less grout. I tried it, but washed out a used latex caulk tube and plunger. Found that you needed to make the grout a little thinner. It saved mess, but mostly saved a ton of grout clean up !

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That is a really creative idea. I’ll have to try that next time!

[@MelissaMalzahn]

The shower turned out beautifully. Looks awesome!

[@dangreb8257]

Seems like no matter what the medium, you guys design / fabricate / build / create amazing stuff! Shower looks gorgeous! Beautiful design; outstanding install. Y’all ROCK!! 🤩🤩

[@tehNashty]

4:20 I can't tell how much luck / skill that was. Courtney, you nailed it, amazing!

[@DG-jq7il]

Shower looks awesome

[@robcrosbie8349]

Looks awesome, great job.

[@chucklogan9611]

Cross Country Skis would work great out there.

[@danmcbride6258]

Amazing tile cutting skills both of you.

[@cathyjones3403]

Beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@HeavyHaulKen]

Have fun getting that fridge up to the kitchen! We take so much for granted. Water and electricity are 2 for sure!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We will never take a long hot shower for granted again!

[@slowlydimming4320]

Nice job, good for you!!

[@mj38611]

That's is extremely difficult especially black grout id go threw 10 5 gallon buckets of clean water just to wipe down that wall.

[@scottdanielson9795]

The shower looks amazing

[@laruedouglas7972]

Now you can call yourself a professional for doing a perfect cutout. LOL. Seriously you both are doing a great job, keep it up. 🤗 I love the look of the tiles.

[@davebodine1526]

Love it. Great choices.

[@chechygalvarez2269]

You don't know that I consider you both...part of my close circle of friends. You were on my life during covid...and we enjoyed your posts. I am sorry, ha. We spend so much time watching you guys, waiting for your next content. You are great. Cheers. Here in Ontario, you are very welcome. We have a place downtown Toronto...and a house in Simcoe Lake. Our daughters are there, near you. We all admire you. Cheers again.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thank you so much for watching and supporting our channel! 😊

[@markadams8857]

never had floor grout. But I had to repair water damage floor and my daughter picked out the 4 ft long snap together composite tile for her bathroom. So we bought 4 boxes. and I had her start bringing them to me in bathroom to lay them 1 piece at a time and they were different colors and types and pieces of 2x4. Somebody had opened end of boxes, used the tile and then stuffed scrap wood back into boxes and returned them to Home depot. 3 of 4 boxes were garbage. Turns out some big contractor had bought a truckload and then returned 1/2 truckload and they were distributed all over Virgina and North Carolina before it was discovered. Keep up the great work looks wonderful

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Woah, that is crazy!

[@clintonkalvig4457]

i would love to see a day in the life off grid video what are you doing daily to keep power water and daily chores and routine

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Amazing job you 2 & thank you for sharing your journey with us

[@Zharesss]

Looking forward to see what you will come up with for water collection, recycling and disposal

[@richardtullius6419]

I love the sponge bucket. The tile looks great.

[@1944chevytruck]

thanks 4 video. be kind

[@_Marius_Strolys]

Green looks just great!

[@HaroldReece]

Great job on the shower tile. Many years ago I worked as a tile setter and I have grouted acres of tile, but we never had such a cool sponge tool like the one you used. Thanks for taking the time and effort to record and share this with us. That little apartment is almost done.

[@nelsonesquivel9127]

The shower looks great!

[@AC-pr9vr]

Off topic. The leaf blower is really good for cleaning the mini excavator, especially the undercarriage during spring and summer. Undercarriage (tracks, rollers, sprockets and idlers) really take a beating in uneven, rocky terrain that we have around here, really expensive to repair. Keeping it clean greatly increases the lifespan. Leafblower during dry months, shovel and leafblower in winter. Love watching you guys work together btw. Ambition, patience and common sense will take you far.

[@GirdHerd]

Courtney, KZbin is your friend. A "how to grout" video would show you how to apply the grout on a diagonal to the joints. You should also sponge off small sections as you go so it doesn't dry on the tile. Anyway, my wife and I always go with colored grouts because white grout starts looking dirty with age. A gray, tan or brown grout (depending on your color scheme) is ideal.

[@Qwiv]

Love the tile. Little bit custom but not over the top. I think most people would love it in a flip as well. The attention in the niche made it for me.

[@katewest130]

Beautiful tile. You both did a super job.

[@reeblesnarfle4519]

Like the green wall! Nice accent wall.

[@RCake]

Super, just love the contrasts between large/small and light/dark in that shower! When you were going out for that snowshoe hike, I thought you guys absolutely need to build a bench in front of your storage cabin. Great for putting on shoes, but also for enjoying the evening light on warmer days.

[@jimself8214]

Wow! Grout-colored pancakes...sounds yummy! Guys, your combined efforts, to this point, have turned an attic loft into a small manse; and, one that will maintain a 40 deg difference between outside (SNOW!) and an inside (COZY!) temperatures. Great job!

[@makingtechsense126]

Great job! Watching you two get the tile work completed so quickly really reinforces that it would take me months. 🤣

[@carolewarner101]

Looking good!

[@joshuaash2494]

You can’t give us a surprise for the next episode every time! Spill the beans every now and then. Shower looks awesome!
