The walls came out beautiful. May I suggest going with a lighter floor. If you go with dark tile it will show all the dirt, dust, animal hair, and all the mud tracked in during the rainy season. I have dark floors and I hate them. I have to sweep and mop continually. Maybe go with something like Jordan used in his new bathroom area. I think it is a light gray peel and stick type wood. It looks beautiful and the perfect color. Also, may I say that you and Freddie are so cute together. You absolutely compliment each other and have a beautiful relationship. I am going to try to make a lasagna and hope it comes out as yummy as Freddie's. I LOVE your videos.
Jordan did concrete floors and sealed them, no tiles.
Very true about dark floors! Don't do it.
Also dark color will make the room seem smaller.
Have to agree with the dark floors picking up every piece of dirt, and making the room feel much smaller. It will make the space feel a lot more closed in. If you really have your heart set on dark flooring, maybe pick one area so it’s not the entire space.
I LOVE THEIR VIDEOS TOOOOOO❤❤😂
Save yourself the heartache of growing to hate your floor by choosing a lighter color! My daughter insisted on the dark floor thinking it would be easy to keep clean. I tried to get her to change her mind but she didn't. She loved her floor for about a week and she now hates them so much she has it mostly covered by rugs. Every speck of dirt, dust, hair, cat hair, drip of something in the kitchen etc shows up as if painted white. My floor is the color of old weathered wood at the beach. That light gray with a hint of weathered wood mixed in. It matches all the wood in the home as well as the painted walls because it is a neutral color. Dirt and dust are hidden and easy to maintain. We have pets and they bring in dirt and hair and I am still happy with my choice of color. Shiny dark anything like furniture or flooring are very very hard to keep clean looking!
Yes, a matte floor tile is best! Not slick.
Is it even possible that Freddy is getting prettier and prettier as she settles in to the farm more and more ❤😂❤😂
She is a very lovely good looking woman with very fine features - beautiful young lady ❤❤
Was thinking the exact same thing, she’s beautiful ❤
I agree. She looks healthier and very pretty.
We owned a log home at one time and the walls being all wood inside caused our home to be so dark. Light floors to help bounce the light would help with that. Walls look gorgeous.
You can use regular insulation for the rest of the house. Nice problem solving to fix this first section with foam. Building, learning, cooking an growing in knowledge as you go- it's an adventure!
You are making great progress! Suggest that you don’t put the tile floor in until after you complete the walls so that you don’t damage the tile while you are still working on the walls.
Awww - Freddie said it, "this is life." All is fine in the world again -
Fun idea... You guys should make a third level in your home and make it into one of those floor net hammocks with a ladder or small spiral staircase that goes up to it. It's relatively easy, super fun and gives you an extra cool spot to relax and hangout, and because it's just netting, it doesn't obstruct the view or light. So you can still see the ceiling from below and have that feeling of height in the room. Just an idea!😊
Eamon and Bec have a cool net in their cabin.
🦋 I hope you’re not getting that black shiny tile because it will show every single mark, peace Of dust and dirt. A more matte look to the tile not too dark not too light.
No no no to black shiny tile!
Not to mention those darn shiny tiles are slippery. It is in the house I live in here in Costa Rica…it is super slippery when wet or even if my feet are wet. If I owned the house I live in I would never install that.
@@laurieshacknove887 That’s a very valid point didn’t even think of that
I hope you are not really looking at those black tiles. They will show every speck of dust or pet hair and you will want to clean them constantly. Also, dark floors will absorb all the heat coming in the house. The grey wood looking tiles are awesome and will not show dust and pet hair nearly as quickly. I cannot wait to see what you choose! You guys are doing a great job considering most things happening are your first time doing them.
Freddies lasagna looked great. I use those oven ready noodles every time and they are perfect. Mushy noodles are not good, especially in vegetarian lasagna. I just made a lasagna this week with ground pork and turkey. It is a family favorite. I am so happy to see your relationship blossoming. You guys look super happy! ❤
You guys are doing a great job. Mistakes are teachers in disguise. I have had lots of teachers in my life. Haha. Thanks for sharing!!!
The rest of the house ..before you put wood on the walls...use Insulation batts...not foam
Foam makes a huge mess!!!
I'm not sure if the Foam insulation made it down to the bottom of your walls!!! Go ask Jordon before you continue!!!
I agree it is a quick fix.
I was thinking the same thing. That the foam from a can might not reach all the way down.
The foam would only reach to the length of the thin plastic tube it wasn’t long enough to reach the bottom, if he checks the bottom by drilling a small hole he’ll know for sure🤦♀️
Same.....
Sorry, but pink batting is Best !
Rodrigo & Freddie , you two make a great couple / team. With everything that you are doing with the house. Sure , there are always some hiccups along the way but you two always work them out beautifully. Thank you for bringing us along on this part of your life's journey.
For the rest of your walls use regular insulation it will be much cheaper and will work better
Finish all the walls first! Floor last! And I like the tongue and groove way better than the plywood in the dining room area. All of Freddy’s food looks so yummy!! 😊❤
You both are so wise, for wisdom comes from knowing to listen and learn from others. ✌️🥂
Freddie is so pretty! You both are an amazing couple. Love your videos.
I'll be really surprised if that foam works. Nasty stuff and it doesn't always fill all the nooks and crannies. Anything else is better. The Lasagna looks divine!!
Agreed. Foam can also cause problems if there’s not ideal air circulation. Yikes. Wool insulation would be amazing but I know it’s very expensive. Keep the heat out.
I'm just glad it's not that big of a space they had to use it in,@@PoeticD.
The primary need for insulation down here is for sound. It doesn't get warmer than around 72°- 73° where he's building this house. It does occasionally get down to the mid 50°s at night but, with his bed up higher on the second floor, I doubt it gets very cold inside at night@@PoeticD
I know I saw a comment that someone posted about your electrical wiring about two episodes back that advised you to put sleeve over wire where it snakes through your metal framing behind walls. Jordan did it when he was doing the bathroom wiring. It will prevent wire from getting cut on metal edges. also have you planned ahead and considered guest room for your family to visit you? That space you were thinking to use for laundry room would make for cool library/office/guest bedroom. Then under stairs you could put stackable washer/dryer. Plus I know you are both young, but someday your family may expand and having a room already ready to use will be so much easier on you. Just food for thought. Wish you two all the best. Keep dreaming and creating. I love watching.
Did you not watch until the end? They don't need a whole guest bedroom...they have the idea for guests to stay in the living room space on the couch. When I build my A frame on the side of a mountain in Panama, the last thing I would be putting in it is a room specifically dedicated for guests...if my couch is not good enough to sleep on there's always the shed in the woods...😂
Your house is coming along beautifully. I love watching Freddie's personality being gradually revealed as she becomes more comfortable with the camera. She's adorable, and you two are adorable together. ❤
I AGREE, the shiney black tile LOOKS BEAUTIFUL in the STORE!! NOT FOR HOME- Shows EVERY SPEC of dirt☹️🙄
LOVE THE TONGUE N GROOVE!
Lasagna for lunch and sushi for dinner! You kids are spoiling each other! Love it!
Go with lighter floors, or you will regret them. Go for pale grey instead of dark grey. I have very pale grey and I love them. They don’t have to be swept and mopped every day. Just like once a week, but more for you because you don’t have stairs coming in & you have mud maybe, but on a dark floor it will really, really show. You need a mat for right where you come in, to wipe your feet on. Your couch looks perfect! The walls are gorgeous, though the wall on the left looks higher than the one with the window. It looks like it needs another board or two? I’m so glad the foam came off!! So much love to you two!! From Oregon State, USA ♥️ Jessica 🇺🇸♥️🇵🇦
I totally agree about the dark floors. Will be a huge mistake with all the animals coming and going and all the hair and dirt.
With the solid colored couch you can change accent pillows and change the look easily.
GREAT advice! Definately a light color would be ideal for your type of lifestyle.
That kitchen window makes for great lighting on the _Cooking With Freddie_ show. 2:03
Roger playing at the end...❤🐾 so adorable! Freddie's food looks amazing! Remember how far you have come since the tree house, Rodrigo!!
I love how your living room is coming along! What great attitudes as you learn new things. Did you know you are teaching some viewers the whys and hows and why nots! And Freddie, that lasagna looked absolutely scrumptious and so healthy. Thank you for your smiles and your love of life no matter what happens. You make my mornings sparkle with possibilities!!
Guys you’re doing a great job! You do and you learn! Keep the good work going! Congratulations on all of your successes and keep learning from your mistakes. Have a great weekend!
Just a thought but going forward could you not just use 6x4 wooden sheeting and cut a number of small grooves a couple of mm deep at the same distance apart as the tongue and grooving, thereby giving the effect of tongue and groove, but a lot quicker and possibly at less cost ?
Agree! Especially the ceiling; I'm doing the same with a stairwell landing to avoid squeaky boards and dust/dirt collecting underneath. If they're worried about matching what's already up, continue doing the tongue/groove but definitely a time-saving, cost effective solution for that massive, steep ceiling.
Input on tile….we have plain gray granite. It looks great until anything touches it. It shows every mark, fingerprints and so on. We really dislike it for this reason. Some texture would have solved this problem
I'm picturing soft sky blue panels @ the roof peak, maybe with a spongy cloud finish, to brighten it up. Then you could consider bringing a temporary live/work artist to paint mural panels. And I'm picturing a gallery wall of photos & artwork on the dining room wall. You could have art date nights and follow painting tutorials like Angela Anderson or Art Sherpa. Xoxo
The house is looking good!
I'm not a builder, but I've watched a lot of videos. I've seen people do tongue and groove by nailing just the tongue to the supports. Then the next row covers the nails. Don't see any nails. Especially for t&g floors. Good luck!
You are correct about nailing on the tongue at a downward angle. I was thinking he could use a shorter tongue. It's not structural.
For a cohesive look I think you should panel the entire interior with tongue & groove. It will look incredibly cool and cozy. I know it’s costly but the outcome will be a total reward. If needed, plead for patrons and subscribers to help. Other UTUBERS do this. Would happily participate as you guys are very genuine people. Good Luck
Wire whisk . Freddy, you can buy rubber coated ones too so you don't scratch the pans inside . I bet Rodrigo is happy to enjoy all of you're home cooked meals !! Thanks you two for sharing you're lives with us !!
Silicone
Her spatula is rubber.
So glad you decided to insulate 👍
I had a couch like that! It was great. Not that comfy to sleep on, but doable. When we moved to a smaller place, I gave it to my daughter. She still has it.
Well very good idea I’m so happy you read the comments and are taking everyone’s advice !! Insulation is always a great idea for heat and the cold so Good Luck
Rodrego, usually the instructions on the can will tell you how much the foam will expand. Only fill between 1/2 to 2/3 of cavity and the foam will expand the remainder. Also putting to much foam in a cavity can push out the boards because of the pressure when it has no where to expand. Remember you might need a vapour barrier between your insulation and inside wall. Good luck guys.
“That’s called life. That’s life.” Well said, Freddie.
You two are so special & Freddie's right, "it's life"!! The life you have together is pretty amazing, Rodrigo!! Blessings!!! 🇺🇸
I've heard good things about foam insulation. Seems like it will be fine for what you need. Enjoy your home! Your doing a great job! Love that beautiful wood!
What fun fixing up and planning for a new build! Just a thought on the tiles, you might not want to get a very slick, shiny tile for they can be too dangerous if water is spilled on them, or if your shoes are wet coming in. Find tile with a rougher matte finish. You also might consider getting a multi-colored tile to hide the dust and dirt that you and the kitty kat will no doubt track in, because if it's just one color--esp. black, it'll show EVERYTHING and in time drive you absolutely MAD! I speak from experience. Getting a dark grout will also be better for that same reason. Love watching you!
Place is looking great. Keep up the great work yall
Make sure you measure how much space u have before buying a couch...
I feel better that you did the insulation AND didn’t need to remove the planks - great job. The wall is stunning.
I’m not crazy about light gray floors with the orange and yellow wood walls. Gray is a very cold color. I would put terra-cotta tile floors on the floor that would blend with your walls. Any solid color flooring shows every bit of dirt. I would get a sample tile before I would buy what you need.
Terra Cotta is beautiful.
I wish you would set up an Amazon registry so we could buy you house warming gifts. Like a whisk 😂 Do it!
Just keep going, you always get the problem fixed 🎉🎉🎉
Lasagne looks good. I always add lentils to my vegetatian one plus loads of other veg , whatever i habve in the fridge, courgette, celery, peppers etc.
the tongue and groove is looking amazing, good job!!! The meals look amazing too!!!
First things first...Freddie, you are getting more beautiful by the day.
The wall looks so warm and inviting. If I can make one suggestion, don't hammer on the finished wood when seating the tongue and groove together. I would take a small scrap of tongue and groove wood and place it on the finished wood and hammer on it to protect the finished wood. I learned that from my father who was a carpenter.
Question: have you realized you need to buy & store certain products for the next breakdown in the local society? Have you bought extra propane, extra gasoline, toilet paper, canned fruit, dog food, etc., etc. I don't think you need to become crazy preppers, but the closing of the roads and stores twice already, would seem to indicate some provisioning would be prudent.
The cost of buying or building the storage capacity seems worthwhile.
I totally agree. I used to make fun of my husband , because for years, he always bought (and still buys) things that are on special. Well, when Covid hit, WE NEVER RAN OUT OF ANYTHING . From toilet paper, to cleaning supplies and everything else in between. We were fully stocked.I live in Canada, and during those sad and awful Covid times, it was "strange" to go to a supermarket (Walmart included) and see many empty shelves. Take the previous subscriber's advice and stock up on canned food, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, propane and gas . A little bit at a time every month doesn't break the bank and can go a long way.
Closing of the roads is a normal occurrence in central and south America. There's usually quite a bit of notice when the roads will be closed. Also, the roads do not close here in Boquete, they close in other places and so the road blocks only block goods that imported into Boquete. Boquete is the bread basket of the country of Panama and is pretty self sufficient. By the way, gasoline does not store very long... diesel on the other hand is pretty stable.
@davidcbrown4376 Right re Gasoline... but use the stored gas every 6 months and replenish it. The last time he paid dearly for gasoline. It just makes sense to store certain items. Plan to use if needed... may save a trip into town too. These are not poor indigenous people. These are decently well off people. They can also share with friends.
LOL...Why store long-term when you can simply buy extra to store shorter when it is obvious that there may be a shortage? I'm not indigenous and I, like everyone else here that isn't indigenous, don't store gasoline long-term.@@ernie7065
Yes, another kitty, but if it's a queen, please get it spayed. Cats are prolific breeders - I have 13 adopted strays, and luckily, I also live on a small holding.
I love the first tile Freddie picked out (with the geometric design)
U need 4x8 sheets of foam easy to cut.
Also easy to remove for electric or leak repair.❤
The house is coming right along. The wood adds a nice warmth to the room. Also, Freddie, the lasagna looked delicious! Much love and success from San Diego California ❤️
You 2 are so lovely together😍 Maybe you NOT being able to buy the tiles is a blessing! PLEASEEEEEE DO NOT BUY DARK floor tiles ( I know its your home and your choice, but honestly ive regretted my dark floor since the day after it was put down, it shows up every crumb, mark, stain, hair etc more than lighter tiles do, plus lighter floors will make your home look much bigger, just warning you😉 Also a little advice, leave flooring until the last, as any work being done, which you still have a lot to do, tools, machines, etc may ruin your flooring😐 Love your sofa choice💓 xx
Love those white Ingrets in the tree . They are beautiful ! We get those out here in the good Ole 🇺🇸 as well !
Pray that it does not expand and push the siding off of the wall
To check to see if the foam made it to the floor, drill, or cut small holes along the base. More time consuming but, if you use a hole saw, save the piece you cut out so you can glue it back.
I admire how you take on all your projects. You have come so far in your life. I do have one suggestion for you (and Jordan). Before starting large tedious projects, do your research first. It could save you both many hours of re-working a project and save many $$$.
Saw/sharp-blade to trim/remove foam, then spirit (we use methylated spirit)👍(breadknife is good!)
Thong and groove instead of tongue and groove! I’m with you bro! Love it lol!
😅 it's just his non-native English pronunciation
Rodrigo is so funny, I just love him and Freddi together ❤❤❤
Another tip to help you speed things up. Pick up a 12" benchtop planer. Then you can run your tung & groove boards through it and eliminate all that hand sanding.
Also, use regular insulation on your other walls. Much easier and cheaper than using all those small cans of spray foam.
Everything is looking great. You guys are making a beautiful home.
You work well together. ❤
Looks great Freddy and the work too❤❤❤
The lasagna looks beautiful and delicious!
May I suggest letting the wood be an accent wall and the rest surrounding walls be concrete board which will separate the living room from rest. You could make a storage cabinet system along the bottom of walls about 2 1/2 feet tall. And a flat top with cushions for extra seating along wall. That bottom space would have been wasted space.
🦋 I thought you said at the beginning that you were not going to buy that you were just going to look anyway. Maybe I missed something. Everything looks so beautiful in the living room. Space. Well done you both put a lot of hard work into it and it shows.
very good freddy, yum
Applause applause
The wood walls look great but have you considered allowing the black metal beams as they are? They make a nice contrast to the light colored wood….and a whole lot less expensive and work!
A close approximation of C* to F* is 2 x C* + 32 = F*. So if it’s 35 C*, the 2x35+32=92 F*. That is very warm! Thanks for another entertaining episode and Freddie continues to be fantastic.
35 x 2 = 70 + 32 = 102!
I think the maths you wanted was to multiply by 1.8?
No, heat is not an issue. It doesn't get above 72-73 where he is building. I live a little lower in Bajo Boquete and it rarely gets above 76° down here.
Yall need a TV that you can connect to for movie night! Love your videos guys!
i am so amazed with u both, wow,
I would recommend concrete flooring. You don't have to float it, just get kinda level and hand finish it. Then paint with a concrete stain.
You two are awesome 👌 ❤.. great job & Freddie food delicious 😋. Love to watch ❤
It looks great.Can't wait till you're done!
Looks amazing!!
The small insulating foam cans sold in stores are typically meant for small-scale DIY projects and *offer limited coverage and insulation.* Professional spray foam application involves specialized equipment and trained technicians who can apply high-quality foam evenly across larger areas, providing better insulation, sound proofing, and sealing properties and come with warranties. Just a FYI…I know you were just fixing up a goof. Also, don’t cook and use products nearby that emit gas such as foam while curing…yikes! Read products warnings and protect your sweet girlfriend too. 💙
Professional spray foam can be chemically dangerous. Check the contents on Google for safety. I would NEVER use it. Often carcinogenic...😮
You two are doing a fantastic job. Honestly if you don't make mistakes you won't learn. So enjoy the mistakes because you are learning and you won't make it again. ❤ You two are very blessed. So when are you going to bring Freddie to meet your family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
36 C is 98 F with Panama Humidity yep thats hot.
Freddie the Laagna looked so YUMMY..Tip cook noodles first they wont be as chewy .
Awesome you have spray foam on one half the front and if you do it one the back full half you will block out some of the heat but honesly it should of been everywhere dude. OXOOXOXOO
Looks like the noodles Freddie used are the “no cook” variety. It’s the quicker way to make Lasagna
Rodrigo is so funny.
I love his straw hat.
Both of you compliment each other so well.
Freddie has really learned a lot. I like how she just jumps in there and gives it her best shot.
Glad you were able to get the insulation problem solved without having to remove the wood.
Wishing you two the best of success
Wow Rod, you hold your chopsticks perfectly! That would make any chinese happy!
Recycle styrofoam cups and other stuff, make it smal and put it in bags. And stuff it between the walls and wood
Love your progress! One thing to consider is dark floors will absorb all of the beautiful natural light that you get with all your glass windows. The rooms in your home will look really dark and dreary. Lighter color floors will reflect the natural light and your rooms will look bright and airy.
I love Roger having fun in the hammock and so happy with the kitchen cooking segments. 😻❤
Get dish scrubber with olive oil for wall
You two are so adorable. It’s so nice to see you both happy!
Never mind the floor. Finish the walls. You never. Finish any project before you start another one.
*Rod you’re now responsible for your girlfriend’s health too so please read instructions before using products. While curing, spray foam emits a gas that causes blurred vision and trouble breathing. Using full face and respiratory protection while applying the product is recommended. Isocyanates are powerful irritants to the eyes and gastrointestinal as well as the respiratory tracts. Direct skin contact with isocyanates can also cause marked inflammation. If someone is sensitive to Isocyanates then you’ll later feel sick as if you have the flu, itchy eyeballs, and rash.*
Beautiful sunset!
I love how you two work together.
The walls are beautiful, but foam boards would be much better and easier for the insulation!
I dont cook my noodles first anymore either.. It looked great! Good job everyone!
Best way to cook noodles... Boil the water, turn off stove, put the noodles in and cover the pot, let it sit until the noodles are perfectly al dente. Never mushy...❤
You guys are rock stars !!!!!!
Just a tip for you, if you have an iPhone you can ask Siri to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. Just say “What is 30 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?”
Also, to get an average in your head without asking Siri, you can double Celsius and add 30 degrees to get an average in Fahrenheit. Example: 2x30C=60C/ 60C+30=90°F average
Actual 30°C is 86°F
Hope that makes sense.
Think about the floor tile colour. The more plain the colour, the more dirt is visible. So the grey tile with the white veins, was not a bad choice. Tiles are cold on the feet though.
You don't want a wooden floor? In the kitchen tiles make sense because of the cleaning...
You have such a big house. And these rooms are all so tiny... Small kitchen, small dining room, small seating area.
And you have lots of space for multiple bedrooms... Why not choose a nice couch and guests can stay in a bedroom?
Just thinking out loud while watching!
Hope your new week is awesome again! Have fun🎉
Tile floors in hot countries, usually. So much moisture in the air, not sure wood floors would be a good idea
Why would you not get advice from someone who knows about building before doing a project? You have people living on the same land that could give you great advice. You would save $, time and have a lot less frustration.
Minerals Insulation batts are what you need to insulate walls properly. It’s saves on heating and cooling and you will be much more comfortable in your home
Bro, deberías usar rollos de lana de fibra de vidrio como aislante, es mucho más económico para cubrir un área tan grande. La espuma deberías usarla donde el espacio es estrecho o incomodo para usar la lana. No se si se conseguirán en Panamá los rollos, pero estoy casi seguro que si. Entre más gruesa la lana más ruido absorbe. Si lo hacés así te va a rendir el doble el dinero y vas a avanzar más ráapido. Suerte y saludos desde Costa Rica!
The walls look awesome 😊
For furniture try Larry's place in Boquete , Sean and Jane have a great selection of pre loved units at really good deals.
You should save the coffee grounds and put them in your gardens & greenhouse. It's like Miracle grow for vegetables & flowers!
Bamboo Utensils are the best!
Wow, looks great Freddy, wish I was their!!!!
