    I love that if you’re handy you can make a show online that pays for you to have a better and better house just by doing the transformation on video. What a world we live in.

      Gotta be handy, have tools, have camera equipment, have a good camera presence/personality, editing skills, and a whole lot of time because filming and editing make the process longer. It's a lot of work and almost never happens as quick as you want - it is an awesome world with a lot of opportunity, but it takes a lot of hard work, money, and consistency.

    Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

    Greta vid, a little tip we do over her in the Uk when tiling a floor.
    Get a scrap bit of tile place it face down and cut the archs, door frame (we use a multi tool/oscillating tool). That way the tile will slide under and be a much nice finish :)

    So, I love your projects and I've been inspired/ learned a lot from you. Our laundry room is much smaller, but I want to do some similar things in ours that you just did. I think it looks amazing! However, I have a question for you... If you need to do maintenance on the dryer/ washing machine, how do you access them with the counter built right on top of them?

    • @MrBuildit

      Same here. I used one on a DIY job a few years ago. When we sold the house in 2020 the inspector said it had to come out because it wasn’t up to code. It worked fine, so if you’re not planning to sell your house anytime soon I wouldn’t worry about using one.
