I know y’all have to be just as excited as we are when we say this section of cabinets is DONE! We will still need to add paint and trim, but those are minor details compared to what we have done thus far. Taking in all the sunshine we can, we embark on a projects we had been putting off for a few years now. Luckily, Ladly Rue was able to help.

I got to say thank y'all. I started watching y'all build y'all house last month started at episode 1. Mid way though I was watching episode 22 when my mom called me and told me my dad was in a semi-truck accident. He passed away in the accident. And through all the sleepless nights I turn y'all on and help me fall asleep in a weird way. And all the encouraging speeches y'all give at the end. It has helped this ol boy. Also had inspired me to build my home as well. Y'all keep up the good work it's awesome.
So very sorry for the loss of your dad. My deepest condolences to your family.
I’m sure Jim and Lydia are honored by your kind words at the end.
We are so sorry for you loss Travis. We hope that we keep on helping you through this time. ❤️
It is clear to me you folks are not allergic to work! We are watching your house building playlist IN ORDER so we are NOT actually watching this episode now, but we wanted to leave ya’all a comment. We did most of the hands-on work building our home in the late 80s. A lot of things have changed since then, but your work brings back a lot of memories. We wish you many blessings!
Hello!! Thank y’all for joining to Cajun Family!🤍 we love that we have brought back those memories for y’all!❤️
So glad to see little 3' is feeling better! And that purple "go to town dress" is just to much of a cuteness overload. 🥰 Jim, you should be very proud of those cabinets. I dare say not many of the people watching this video (including me) would have done as good of a job as you did. Love the bedroom walls and the tree looks great!! Looking forward to the counter top video. Love to all of ya'll from all of us.🙂
Y’all….. she loves that little dress so much😂 We think it is adorable and so many people at the hardware store was giving her compliments and she was acting so bashful 😂 We hope that y’all are having a spectacular week and we will see y’all Sunday!
That tree looks like a good place for a swing , a tree house for the near future. Those little ones grow up faster then you think !
Yes!
Wow. The cabinets look great. Once the trim is up all the little imperfections will be hidden. Love the texture on the wall, but Ladly feeling better and dressed up for town was precious to see. Can’t wait for the countertops
Thank you very much Gary!
Just shy of $1,400.. I love it!!! There is nothing like taking on this project and just doing it. Way to go you guys!
Absolutely Timothy!!
Cabinets look mighty good. Well done. Nature got a hair cut and tree pruning at the same time. Nice work and young'un's doing better.
Thank you and she is feeling much better 😊
Yellow Boots -- the mighty almost 3' wonder girl. She is just so precious.
Thank you 😊
I would add a lazy Susan type thing in the large cabinet over the fridge just to make it easier to access the items inside.
Jim, I would put your cabinets up against any professional cabinet builder.
They truly are a Cajun Country masterpiece…..
Excellent job!🤗
Thank you so much!
Jim the ceiling not being straight is due to the crowning of the ceiling joists. This is why they make crown molding. Y’all are doing great keep up the good work ❤
Could be caused by joists being slightly bowed too.
Great point Mathew! Thank you very much!
Just Brilliant! Your spread there is a Dog and Daughter heaven! The memories your Princess is making are going to be priceless - and for you guys too I guess? Thanks again for the uploads!
Thank you Dave!
Looks beautiful🎉 I love it that Ladle is learning to respect and love nature!
Thank you Jamie!
Ladly is so cute helping around the house great job guys the house is coming along nicely
Thank you so much!
Bravo pour la jolie coupe d’arbre🪵. Ladly Rue est déjà habile à son âge. Elle comprend comment couper une branch, elle est fière avec sa maman. Jim a encore beaucoup de travail dans les finitions mais toi Lydia tu travailles aussi énormément. Bon courage pour la suite de vos travaux les cousins cajuns. 👍👏😘🇫🇷
those cabinets are beautiful and any woman would love them in her kitchen.
Thank you!!
Love it! So much done, and so much more TO DO. As a wood turner, I think my heart skipped a few beats while seeing those beautiful limbs coming down. I think I'll be alright next week. Glad to see baby girl feeling better. She's a natural with some pruning loppers. The cabinets are awesome. What mistakes? Nice work on the texturing Lydia!
Thank you so much Charles!
You're cabinets are gorgeous and I'm looking forward to your dry pour counter tops, and I can't get over how precious Ladley is, her helping you cut those bushes are precious Memories that one day you will cherish. Much love to you and your family from mine, Texas
Thank you so much Paula!
Nothing more Cajun than cutting tree limbs from a tractor bucket!
😁
Hope Ladly gets better soon. Her cutting the bushes was the cutest thing ever. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪
Thank you Monique!
Aww , A little princess Ladly are growing so fast , ❤your channel
Thank you so much!
Love ya'lls program. Great that you folks partner so well. As to the discrepancy with cabinets to ceiling, trusses. Especially if they were engineered/manufactured. First house I did had 40 foot span, outside to outside wall. Had an inside wall, kitchen as well as big bedroom. 2 1/2 inch to top plate. Do not try to pull it down. Build to it especially if confident with floor level. Trim and caulk are your friend. $1300 on materials for cabinets? Fantastic, especially in these times. The house I am in now was basically constructed by me. Took me six years to get a CO. Rudimentary kitchen but all the essentials. Wife finally decided to move down here after the big house was burglarized. Harping on the kitchen. I had tile counter tops but only 4x4 posts underneath. Some shelving underneath. My bathrooms were beautiful, four of them. I found every toilet beside the road. I know my toilets, they were quality. As cabinets are concerned: went to Lowes and wife had a very capable advisor on the project. Came together very well with a great contractor doing the work. 44 K, may be a few appliances thrown in there. Still a huge amount as my first house was 53 K. I love what you folks are doing, not sure if the rank and file are up to the task. One comment on SAFTEY: Make sure your wife keeps her beautiful hair away from any rotating shaft or chain. Do not wear a necktie in a machine shop around lathes nor run an industrial drill with a chest length beard. Much Love.
Thank you for all the tips Robert!
Nice work, guys. Keep plugging away… what a dream life. Wish I started younger on this sort of path. It takes a lot of screws, nails, and a big mitre saw… but the most expensive aspect is “time”, and you spent it well.
It absolutely does, but it’s all worth it!
I would paint where you cut of the limbs to keep out bugs and other things so the tree stays healthy
The tree just looks happier. :) -- Wow there was a lot of projects in this one. Y'all have been busy inside and out. The cabinets look great, and for the price they are awesome. - Cheers
Thank you!
Cabinets look great, the price sounds great as well, plus you have mastered another skill. Dry wall also looks great. Jill and I should finish our 300 sg ft. Dry pour project next week we think it looks great, glad we found your UA-cam channel. You have provided us with a lot of useful information plus great entertainment.😊
We are so happy that y’all found us Mr. Steve! I bet y’all’s dry pour project looks amazing! Tell Mrs. Jill we said hello!
You guys make my Wednesday and Sunday’s! Always fun to watch you as you progress, fearlessly, through your work and play! Hope your little one gets better soon! By the way, I’d let Jim build my cabinets anytime! Well done!
Thank you so much! See you Sunday!
Your daughter's just too cute! 😊
Thank you!
Talk about divide and conquer. Yall killed it this week. Capt. Croc's - those cabinets look amazing! You said there were mistakes made but I can't see a single thing wrong with them. I did have a question though. once the wall next to the fridge is trimmed out, is there going to be any clearance issues with the fridge door opening? I couldnt tell from the video but looks pretty close. I like the texture walls as well and it makes the room really come together. Sure was good to see the little Miss enjoying herself and helping with cutting down the little trees. That was precious!! And that tree... wow!! what a beautiful tree and ginormous. great job trimming it up! Lastly, I sure hope yall werent too taken aback by Sunday's comment. Just seemed a little outta place for what yall normally do. Well, I had a great break today so back at it. Enjoy the rest of the week and looking forward to seeing what you bring us on Sunday!!
Bodie!!! Thank you very much! We were thinking the fridge might be too tight for the doors to open fully but it is looking like we are going to have about 1/2” of clearance on each side. Ehhh don’t worry yourself about the comment….. can’t win them all right!?! Hope you are having a great week!
do not doubt yourself, those look great, and I think they are very pleasing to the eye, so another great job, yall keep on truckin
Thank you so much!
Suspended ceilings are hardly ever level - a lot of kitchen cabinet designs will have an inch gap between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling. Its then easy to cut an inset trim to fix between the cabinets and the ceiling - cut to accommodate the changes in levels.
We are learning so many things like that! It is amazing…. all of the little things that we just never thought of.
Hey just an FYI. Refrigerator's need to have air movement. If you completely close in that refrigerator there will be no air movement. It will decrease the efficiency of your refrigerator and freezer, and it will also be hard on your compressor. I love watching your videos. You guys are doing an awesome job!!
Great to know!
Great progress guys! Glad Lad is feeling better too! Thanks for another great video. Can’t wait for the dry pour countertops
Thank you Terence!
Well done,looks like a great place for some chairs and a couple of cold ones...
Jim and Lyida nice work.
Definitely the perfect place Robert! Thank you very much!
Great job you guy's are doing 👏
Inside and out, looks Great!
Maybe add a vent pipe above fridge in the corner of the cabinet to let the hot air flow out.. looking forward to seeing the next one
Thank you for the tip John!
I call that a fridge garage. Looks clean and finished.
Haha love it.
Under the tree looks much better!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Deborah!
Hey y’all those are the best dang “Cajun”cabinets I’ve ever seen!! 🎉 👍👍
Thank you Steve!!
I am going to send Jim a photo of my home built miter saw table. I have been using something similar to do interior trim for 28 years. It might give him some ideas for his own saw table hootis.
Sounds great! Thank you Chris!
Dry-poured counters!!!! Can't wait!!! The kitchen is looking slick CCL! The wall texture looks great to! Awesome job!
Thank you Cynthia!!
CCL can't wait fer y'all's co-lab wit LITP... enjoy the trip... Capt. Croc you can add cabinetmaker to your resume'....very nice...kinda like welding "filler and paint" make me the cabinetmaker I ain't.... LOL!!
Y'all are now part of my must watch list... UA-cam rock stars!!!! ⭐✔️😎👍✌️😉
We can’t either! Never thought we would be traveling all the way up to MN! We can’t wait!❤️
😮 🤩👌👍👍🌟👸 Lydia 🤴(🐊) Enjoy this hot dry weather we are having 😊 Beautiful Video!! Loves it all, Cajun Family!! Curious on concrete slab on top the cabinet, guessing have to wait and see y'alls creation. Until next time Lydia Lad, and Jim 😁😍
We hope that you are having an awesome week Thomas!!
Glad to see the little ones feeling better, I 've been doing the same maintenance myself plus clearing an old fence line that has a lot of wild roses growing on it. Great job y'all and have an awesome week.
I bet those wild roses are pretty Mr. Timothy! Are they different colors or red?
@@CajunCountryLivin They are a pinkish color. I sent an email picture to y'all.
I am not only an artist that is an outside artist ,,,like I have said before I am always building something and hootis gadgets are my passion ,,it's too lengthy to define 'hootis gadgets' that I do.I ALWAYS have projects to do...I don't let it overwhelm me..if you just look at about a 6ft square area at a time...I hope that made sense. ENJOY YOUR PROJECTS . God Bless in every way....lov from south alabama dixon line.
Very true!
Those cabinets are great. Trim is going to fix it for sure.
Thank you Bruce!
We just poured some concrete countertops for our outdoor kitchen. I didn't do a dry pour, which I wish I would have, but I did use the bullnose forms and stamps from Concrete Countertop Solutions. We couldn't have been happier with how they turned out, the forms made it look like a pro did the work.
LOL! The directions written on your hand was somthing else.
😂🤣
Your little girl is so adorable and precious, I just love 💗 her
Thank you Judy!
hoping the wee one gets better, prayers for her, the cabinet finishing is looking great, the sponge idea for texturing walls is a fantastic idea no need to buy one of those texture guns when a trip to dollar tree or general can buy cheap disposable sponges, your journeys destination is an awesome voyage of learning, the oak limbs can make great firewood or just outdoor firepit times at night, thanks for the vid, God bless
That looks like the perfect tire swing tree!!!
Yes!!!
The cabinets turned out great 👍 so far. I've been bing watching your channel. I've now watched all your videos. I came to watch your channel from the Crockers and am happily still watching 👀 your channel. I've enjoyed your content. Keep on keeping on with the great content. 🐘🙌🕊🙏🌞🖖❤️🤟🍨💐🫶🍻👈🙂👌🏠👏😎👋👍

Whacha do with all the cut limbs? Toss them over fence in to brothers pasture? LOL That live oak makes good firewood. Pasture looks much better. Cabinets turned out beautiful. Well done. Thanks for sharing

Awesome the cabinets look fantastic. Jim you did a great job. The tree looks good too. Glad Lil Timer is feeling better. ❤❤
Thank you Melissa!
You folk are really doing a great job, very impresive. I have been following your progress. I have been building our barndominium on our homestead. I have built out a 2000 sq foot metal building, cb converting it into a home. Not finished yet.
That sounds like a cool project!
Awesome job on the cabinets. Things are coming right along.
Thank you!
Y’all are doing an absolutely incredible job it is looking amazing
Thank you Mr. Donald!
That tree is beautiful!!
Thank you!
Great video! I believe you are going to put in a ladder to get into those upper cabinets. Your little girl is growing like a weed. She is so pretty.
Thank you Marsha! The ladder idea is brilliant!
Cabinets look really good.
Thank you Rod!
Everything is looking awesome! Can’t wait to see the counter tops!! 🎉🎉
Thank you Jennifer!
Jim I believe you did such a good job on your cabinets..you answered my question about your counter tops Lydia.botj of you have a blessed day❤❤❤
Thank you Cynthia!
In the UK we pay a lot of money to get rid of texturing, Ceilings tend to be heavy looking with texture as are Walls, anyway we love to watch your progress on you amazing House. God bless you, David and family Norfolk England. Ps Love your Accents.
Thank you David!
Be proud…. You guys are doing an awesome job
Thank you Lisa!
Crown molding will cover it up. Remember, 2x4 are not perfectly straight so that is why muddying was invented! Lol lol
Very true Ricky! Lol
Looks good, cant wait to see the whole kitchen finished.
Thank you Juanita!
That tree looks amazing now. WTG Everything is looking Great!! God bless you all.
Thank you very much!
Loved your cheat notes on the back of your hand for the lift. Could’ve used that a few times myself.
Haha not worth the chance when I had precious cargo!
The cabinets are beautiful!
Thank you!
Baby girl needs a tree house in the big tree God bless

Thank you Jill!
Just subscribed keep up the great work, your channel is bound to get huge.
Thank you so much!
What a amazing big bed she has 😊 Wait, you caught fish by just dragging a net in a puddle 😮 Amazing shirt, so cool. Pitty I couldn’t get a free one, hint hint Jim? 😅😂😊 The cabinet look good and the fit and finish well look great once painted 😊 I thought that the ceiling wasn’t level, see previous video comments. But I thought you said you planed and levelled the ceiling a while ago( old comment) hence why you do it before putting the plaster board up 😢 Hmmm did ever get that tractor started? The tree trim looks good, until the next video ❤❤
Robin I have a T-shirt for you for sure! Next time you drop by and cook supper it’s all yours 😂 will definitely be showing some tractor updates soon!
Yall are an inspiration
Thank you!
Land and tree very nice. The cabinets are coming along very nice as well!
Thank you!
Awesome job y’all!!
Thank you!
Traktor control cheat sheet tattoo 😀👍
Gotta do whatcha gotta do Mr. Gene😂😂
Just a small detail - if you don't level your fridge, Ice makers are a PAIN!!!! They are designed to make individual cubes not one long connected brick of cubes and when you aren't level this is what happens. I dealt with this for a while when we bought all new appliances thinking the unit was a peice of junk!!! Then I leveled it and it works like a dream now haha
😂 one long brick 🧱
Great to know! Thank you!
13:13 I can't wait ❤😊
😁
Thank you for y'all work it has help me learn and encourage me to build and remodel my home ❤💋
Thanks!
Great work you two and 'almost 3 foot timer'. What's with the garden tractor project Jim got in Texas?
Thank you! Tractor update coming soon!
Just an F.Y.I. , I know that you like texturing your walls , but a texture gun with a hopper is far faster and you can make it s thick or thin as you want , just pour the mud in and pull the trigger than wait , ust like you are now for t to dry up a bit and knock it down as you like with a texture scraper or whatever you have een using , you can have an entire 12 by 12 room done in abut 20 minutes , the un is about $ 45.00 and you can also use it for popcorn along withmay oher kinds of wall or ceiling projects .
Thank you for the tip John!
enjoy the video
Very nice video i enjoyed it and awesome job on the cabinets
Thank you Jim!
The kitchen is absolutely beautiful❤️👍
Thank you Scott!
So glad your little one is feeling better. Have you thought about staining the cabinets vs painting?
Thank you! We definitely considered it but we always planned on a particular color. I believe they would be beautiful stained and painted though 😁
@@CajunCountryLivin ❤️
And use the top coat for the cabinets
Nice job on the cabinets guys, quite an undertaking even with the proper tools. Excited to see the tops
Thank you Mr. George!
The cabinets couldn't be any nicer!
