    The humor in these just keeps getting better & better. Who cant drive by a Lowes without the "Lowes Trip" jingle popping into your head? Andrea I appreciate the real life moments & your explantions as you build. So cool to watch your process.

    As someone who experienced a massive house flood this year, my heart goes out to you. It robs you of a sense of safety when it comes to your home. That look on your face as you looked at the industrial dryer? Yeah. I know that one. Be patient but persistent with the insurance process. Big hugs to you both.

    Water leaks are the worst! I’m so sorry you had to demo to find the culprit. Hopefully it’s found and you have replaced all the damaged projects. The bench is terrific, a great place for kids to do homework, play games, do puzzles or have dinner. I’m looking forward to the completed project!

    Ugh. We’ve had multiple floods, all from different sources! We finally bought our own industrial fans to assure that we’ll never flood again ;) You know, once you spend the money to purchase, you’ll never need than again. At least that’s what we’re hoping.
    The bench is great! I’m surprised you didn’t build storage for games and puzzles into the bench. But maybe that’s just my lack of storage speaking lol

    Your creativity never ceases to amaze me!
    Andrea, as a newbie to furniture making...well anything working with wood, could you announce the sandpaper grit when you say you're gonna sand the wood?
    You're giving me some confidence and I'm starting to look at power tools thinking, "Should I get a chop saw like Andrea's?" 🤔 But I don't know which sandpaper to use. TY
    After living in my 73yo house for 32 years, I'm FINALLY painting my ugly blonde woodwork and picking out wall paint. The walls were in bad shape and I'm filling/sanding the holes and paint drips so they'll look really nice when I apply the new paint. I picked a lovely moody olive green for an accent wall (Behr Ginger Tea) in my bedroom and with only one coat it's already so pretty! I can't shut my eyes to sleep because I keep staring at it...even in the darkened room. So, I totally get you staring at your creations. 😃 I have a project in mind. I want to make a faux fireplace mantle for my living room with secret storage nooks. 😆

    Missed you guys - glad you're back! The bench looks good, as all Andrea's projects. I'm surprised you didn't make the seats to lift up for storage underneath, pillows, blankets, throws from the LR, place to store out of season ones.

    Both of you are really talented, and thanks for another awesome video. However looking at your bench structure (I’m also a DIY wife), I would suggest adding some middle support. I would at least add top support spanning across your outer plywood base to the other 2x4 side. Especially where the two top pieces meet, I would add a vertical middle support as well. I just built a window bench built in, and added lots of support. But otherwise it looks great, and you work so fast!

    I love your work! I wish I could get your help! I live in a 315sq Loft studio in NYC which is generous considering all things. But I see so many wonder and inspiring DIYs and never settle on one because. It’s been difficult, I have fear of the “first cut”. Either just been watching all of your work today. 👌🏼 Top Notch!

    You're right, that stain is a nice neutral. Not too much yellow, green or red undertone yet still warm and natural feeling. I saw someone had an easy chair and little table in the corner of their kitchen, for friends to chat with them while they cooked. I occurred to me if you have to combine purposes of a room in a small home, why not put the dining table in there instead of the kitchen?

I’ve woken up the last 2 mornings feeling accomplished as I’d built 3 things. Then I realised that all that hard work was a dream. 😂

    Just a thought? Your dialogue prior to Lowe’s and up to unloading the car doesn’t tell us what is being constructed? It takes until 9.20 or so when Andres says something about an L shaped bench? Just odd as other vids you post typically tell us about the project being undertaken from the beginning, even including background and possible options. Cheers!
