    Hey guys...My dad was a finish carpenter, and he used a short piece of scrap tongue and grove to hammer on when seating the boards. It protects the edges of the boards so that you don't damage the finished wood, and it also lets you strike it a little harder.
    I also am amazed at how smart, talented and beautiful Sadie is. Of course she has the best role-models in the world.

    • @debradiane3929
      @debradiane3929 Місяць тому +5

      I was thinking that also. By pounding on the tongue they are making it spread, which makes the next board more difficult to install. Using a scrap piece of groove that fits on the tongue to pound on, is the way to go. It's hard to watch them struggle, when there is such a simple solution.

    I remember monsoon season in Panama and Honduras. Unfortunately, I was there with the military. I've never been so hot, wet, and miserable in my life. Sometimes, it would just rain in the jungle while we were walking thru. Every time I watch Forest Gump, the rain scene reminds me of it. I would love to see what it's like outside of the hot and wet season. The floor looks great!

You two have done such an amazing job as parents, teaching and including her in conversations, and allowing her to cook and help you, etc- She def isn't like any 2year old I've known! Fantastic job guys! 💞

    Be fair to yourselves. The PVC flooring was your first try at laying a floor. You've learned a lot in the past year. You've overcome so many trials and you can overcome this tongue and groove floor. Is it just me or would Sadie nail a good Texas Hold 'Em? She will have the perfect floor for it. :D

  • @andrewwalker3055
    @andrewwalker3055 Місяць тому +1

    When banging in the pieces with a mallet, I would recommend using what I call a banger. It’s a scrap piece of the flooring that has the groove on it. You put the groove side on the tongue and hit the other side with the mallet. It allows you to hit the pice a lot harder with out risking damaging the finish piece

    Nice vid and progress guys!
    Tips: for hammering the floor planks, use a beater block... a small wooden leftover piece to hold against the new floor plank and it takes the hammer blows.
    For your sleeping needs, natural pure liquid melatonin works well for most. I use the spray, 2 shots under the tongue and I'm out like a light.

    Now miss Sadie - I have no words, just tears of joy. I don't have grandkids but I dream of a little princess like her.
    She is being raised organically 😂 (farm girl) and the result is this super confident little person with a big personality like her mama, and the quiet examiner like her papa. It's such a privilege to watch her evolve.
    Kayleigh, you are a great role model to not only your baby girl, but also the countless young moms (aunties and grannies) who watch your channel.

  • @wes52101
    @wes52101 Місяць тому +1

    That floor is going to look great! When installing them you might want to use an offcut piece to force them into place. It gives you the ability to lift it away from the floor and keeps you from damaging the flooring pieces. You can probably find a video that explains it better than I can. Just look up how hardwood flooring is installed. Also, I would recommend looking into a router table if you can get one down there. If you can't, maybe build one. It will save a ton of time and energy making the tongue and lips. 😜

    Wow, you’re kitchen is looking so much better. All that work put into the floors is paying off. Not only is the flooring pretty, just think of all the money saved by doing it all by yourselves!😊. Ms. Sadie, is such an independent being, shows compassion, and is sweet spirited! Not only are you seeing the fruits of your manual labor, you are seeing Sadie, blossoming before your eyes, happy and care free because of her wonderful parents who have been loving and guarding her with each step she takes! 😊. Great job Jordan, and Kaylee! Y’all will have a beautiful homestead when the work is completed but better yet, you’ll recall memories of building everything, the three of you helping one another, and little Sadie, entertaining and dancing to her own beat! Now that’s good, clean family life for sure! I love your videos and always look forward to new postings. Y’all take care and may God, continue caring and supplying your needs. Please give Sadie, a special birthday hug from me. I am a 75 year old, widow lady who lost my only child, daughter Jennifer, in 2007. I don’t have grandchildren, but I do enjoy watching children explore and learn from their surroundings. I also can recall things my Jennifer, may have done at Sadie’s age and it brings me joy. Thank you for blessing me through your videos by sharing parts of your life. ❤❤❤CarrieJo/NC. Y’all take care now! 😊

    "We tongue and lipped it ourselves!" Lol 🤣
    Yes! I thought you guys were flipping the board and routering it again. That's the key!
    Plus, bring in 3 or so pieces and choose which one fits the easiest. Trying to jam a single piece in will take foreva! Swap pieces for best and easiest fit.
    Best of luck!
