NEW HERE?
Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...
Thank you for watching our video and reading the description. You rock!
Hope you have a really great day and keepsm:)ling!

Martin. As a medical professional I can tell you to that you must protect your lungs. As much as you suit up for paint you should do the same with dry wall dust. You just inhaled about the equivalent of 10 packs of cigarettes or more.
I was about to make the same comment but then I saw yours. Any kind of dust will irritate eyes and airways, both should be protected.
you both should wear respirator !
all of that is going in to your lungs!
Where is your mask? As many may have asked. As my mom always said “keep those lungs pink and moist”. But, the garage looks better than some houses. 😊
Right!!!
He’s definitely keeping her pink and moist! What a natural beauty!
Really should have a respirator. That paint cloud made it hard for me to breathe
When you’re not a professional, you don’t get the education that goes along with it. People watch videos and say “ hey, I can do that”. Sure you can, but since you’re not in the industry, you’re not aware of the health effects. It used to drive me crazy, now, I just try and enjoy the video. lol
5:05 is the pinks on display too.
Breathing that dust is not good. You may get away with it once but it will have some impact not noticed right away if you continue.
I agree!
I used to watch this channel and see the woman using a chop saw while her long hair flowed down… several people commented about the danger. I just found it too nerve racking to watch them do construction with all the safety risks they took. Stopped by this video wondering if they had moved and started a new project, lol. Guess not. Lovely couple. Lovely location.@@juliejohnson9531
Having had tiles in my previous house and had to do battle with mould on the grout, never again. The walk-in shower I have now uses a product called Wetwall, which is plywood, with a waterproof surface on one side - purchased in sheets, it has waterproof joints for both straight and 90 degree turns - goes up far faster than tiles, and no grout to worry about.
You can mix paint in the texture mud. I dont see very many garrages actually get finnished.
Super excited for the garage to be used for its intended purpose. 😅
Perfect timing to epoxy that garage floor! Looks great
They protected their cameras better than their lungs! Wow
May as well buy a pack of cigarettes too. Joking of course.
I was just about to say the same. They need to use a respirator, or at least a mask
@@SkepticCyclist I’ve been watching ever since they started in Idaho and love the channel. But they’re no different from ANY other DIYer on UA-cam. They can physically do the work and mentally make it presentable. But they haven’t been trained, other than UA-cam, so they aren’t aware of the health risks. At least he finally wears a mask when he grinds concrete, silica is right next to asbestos, for damaging your lungs.
No one lives forever, but there’s no reason to rush it!
The garage looks fantastic! Yoill be blowing white for a minute though, where was Safety Sally ...lol 😂😅 Love ya'll ❤️
There are safetybelts for dogs in cars
Holy moly, I can't believe you did all that without respirators.... Look's good though!
You guys are so professional with your work I learn a lots from you guys Martin and Julie ❤
Outstanding work guys, you are a great team, love watch each video. Brings back memories when 3 friends and I had contractor build the additions outside & framing rooms to our homes in Silicon Valley. Approx. 850 sf. Added for a total of 2,600 sf. We all finished the insides, electrical, sheet Rock, tapping and panning. Hired finish stairs contractor and carpets. Retired after 30 years in Corp America and moved on. Got a great price with multiple bids. Today that houses is valued at $3 million. Good times. People are still getting multiple bids on home sales in that area, it’s crazy.
I like a textured finish but have found it is harder to keep clean than a flat finish. The dust collects on the high spots so cleaning is needed more often. Each to their own.
Use the rubber you paint on in your ensuite before you put the pan in. Just incase it leaks. You don't want to worry about that.
I started coughing just watching but it looks great
I would never texture or paint the garage, it's for parking vehicles
The penny makes a great space for tile work. Learn the difference between sanded and unsanded grout. It matters which one you use. The hardest cut is the round holes for the plumbing. Always get extra tile for oops situations. Use a laser for accurate lines and check it often. Always dry-lay tiles in the space to figure out the ideal spacing. Do the bathtub first. Ideally, a full slab of material would be the best but you may not want to pay for that. The easiest is the pre-backed square foot piece that allows you to lay tile faster. Subway pattern is always a good way to do it. Include a niche for your shower supplies but make sure to tilt the shelf surface toward the tub at about a 5 degree angle. Make sure to thoroughly wrap the pipes in the wall to prevent them from freezing. Take lots of pics before you close in the walls so you know where pipes and electrical are. Don't forget the stud caps to protect pipes from screws. PLEASE WEAR A MASK WHEN SANDING!
Use your drywall knives too skim lightly over the entire walls and ceiling to knock off the boogers. Takes no time at all and you’ll get a much better result.
I have always done the sanding by hand like this but now i would check to see if you could rent a drywall sander especially for such large area
Yes, more than a few of us are epileptics and the spinning can send us into a seizure. So, I close my eyes when the screen spins or jostles.
Just wondering do you put something on the inside of the interior door that says hey there’s no step there because that would hurt
Cracked windshield is very dangerous. Stop by a auto glass shop. Insurance pays 100%
Really motivating to watch you both building your own house. garage looks great :)
Are you going to put a finish on the garage floor?
2 reasons to texture a wall #1 you like how it looks and #2 you dont like sanding and texturing hides imperfections (so less sanding).
Now you need to coat the floor.
I wish you guys were my neighbors!…
Paint the garage polar bear white
never seen a textured garage before. fancy!
That's looking awesome you two. ❤❤
Idaho, mountains and snow - how I miss living there.
Tips for tiling, buy knee pads !
with tile work follow directions and go slow and make sure you have the right mud and you should put in first a KERDI waterproof system is a pliable sheet-applied waterproofing membrane and vapor-retarder designed for the direct application of tile. KERDI is ideal for use in tiled showers, bathtub surrounds, residential steam showers, and other tile applications in wet areas. because bathrooms are wet places in the home you don't want to have mold or any other things in there to get wet and keep in the bath room
Please share the info for the heater shown in background when you were cleaning the floor. Thanks and God bless you all
It looks fantastic. ❤I would be interested to know how you dispose of your garbage?👀
Great job guys!
Good job you guy's 👏 👍
Love the kitty's and tux.
rust oleum epoxyshield for your floor you will love it , I have done it in every home we have lived in.
Looking good Brother!
Really nice job family!
Gimana kabarnya pak? Kapan pak Johnson buat vlog bh Indonesia lagi, kangen lho kami dari Indonesia
Garage looks super good. Nice finish. Awesome teamwork.
sorry, i'm just curious. if you were goin to texture it, why you wasted time sanding. just found you again , glad to have you back. luv u both.
Why the texture after spending time smoothing the joint compound ~ I thought popcorn ceilings went out in the 70's 😊
Gotta love Tux!
tile first tar paper 30 LB or Poly sheet /cement board Lay out the tile way you like it rent a tile saw or but one you can do mark wall level line Frist scratch coat or butter coat on the tie with notch trowel let it dry two date buy grout color put on at 45º and have a bucket of water and big sponge and clean extra grout off not hard but light let dry one or two days or watch on youtubes
Wow it looks great in the garage 👍👍👍
Good evening from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Your garage turned out really nice. Hope you have a wonderful week. 🇺🇸🙏
There's a lighter version of hardie backer which has had good reviews and I would definitely use a schluter water proofing on top before putting down a thinset.
The garage looks fantastic !!! Love your videos !!!!
What is the brand of the water hose? I have spent so much on hose and NEED a flexible good hose.
You always share fun videos with us and I appreciate every minute of it. I always look forward to watching your new videos❤❤💞💞
Hi Martin and Jules! Great job you two! It looks really nice! 😊
now that the floor is really clean in the garage , it would be a good time to apply the epoxy floor sealer ??
Garage looks fantastic 😊
have you tried tinting your mud
i did for a bedroom used dark blue on ceiling following with light sky blue and added glitter
blue shear curtains
the walls were old barn wood planks ( wall paneling) and gray linoleum with touch of red brick
ceiling was blown on kind of a light texture
Nice work!
What’s the point of sanding to perfection if you’re just going to texture over it?
Very cool job, also take a nap lol 😅 it’s amazing how fast you move when I watch in 1.75 time.
Great job
WOW, Looks amazing.
Looks amazing
You two are such a blessing
Thanks! You are a blessing to our family too!
Respirators please, with all that dust!!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Awesome job
notice how the texture quiets the echo😮
What about putting Garage Floor Paint down, that will protect your floor from any Oil drips?
Someone can actually Live in there and Eat of them Floors.😁
Check with local flooring company
Good Morgen
Good Morning!! ☕️🌞✨️
looks great!!
Hi martin an jules good job.on house progress 👋
Why texture the garage walls? It will catch dirt, oil, dust, etc., and become a mess. Satin would clean easily.
ya we call those smoke poles aw back in the days sanding mud i feel for you lol
That's really nice looking job I like it just beautiful an bright.
Heres an idea. A guy on another channel has his offgrid house complete. he just finished putting his solar up
on his roof. He was shopping for lithium batteries to build his battery pack when he recollected that the Ford
Lightning has the ability to powerup your house during power outages. he checked it out and as it turned out
the Lightning has a bigger battery pack capacity PLUS the truck cost less than the batterys he was looking
at to build his battery pack with. SO he bought the truck, saved $$, got more capacity & had a truck to run
to town in.
!
Martin. You look like the Pillsbury Fough Boy.
Hello am here again from Houston Texas
Hi! 👋
You'll get overloaded with tips now, since you asked for tips on tile work. Best thing? Get some cheap or throwaway tiles and PRACTICE FIRST. It's quite a process and you want to keep it simple.... but you will want to know what you are getting into. Take anything... a board of some kind, some sort of scrap and tile THAT with the junk tiles. It won't take that long, but you'll get familiar with the process BEFORE you try to do it in your home. (The right tile adhesive and grout make all the difference - but often they do not perform as advertised - so testing is key... seriously.
Why make it flat then texture?
Martin! Martin! Martin! Mask 😷 up..., please
I never understood how people could actually choose to put texture on their walls...
Its Ghost Marty!!!!
The small black and white dog you have, what breed is it?
Wow your Hair gets so long.❤ looks beautiful. 😊 are you plan to grow it longer ?
Yikes! What you see on the outside will also be on the inside (sanding) and boy you were covered! I watch you doing such amazing work but also think why wouldn't you protect yourselves? Said with love. 😷🙏
Are you going to epoxy the garage floor?
Are you going to epoxy the floor?
Your face after sanding & painting 😂🤣😂
Good job tho 👍👍
Here in the UK, we call it "plaster board" and "plastering" when you fill in the holes 😉
The more you know ey 🤭😁
Marty, get your window fixed in your truck.
Respirator respirator respirator! My jaw dropped
Marty looks like he is in a onesy or an oopaloopa!!
Mau bikin rumah lagi pak? Enak ya punya lahan besar… bisa bebas bangun ini dan itu. Btw selamat ya pak semoga cepat selesai rumah barunya 🎉
Garages are dirty and dusty. I wouldn't texture even the ceiling in a garage. The dirt and dust will hang on the texturing. A garage is not living space. It would be nice to paint it with semi-gloss paint so you could wipe it down when it gets dirty.
Hi Marty and Jules, you guys work great together! Marty goid unintended impressions of Batman's Joker! Yes please slow down on the curves. You might not be crashing, but we are, haha. Terrific family! As always, God bless you and family take care from your long-time California subscriber.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You should have been wearing a mask since sanding. All that will hurt your lungs! Where safety sally at? lol looks good. The windows will clean up easy.
