Catching up on videos. Was watching a TV show on Netflix 😂. I recall when you guys had tension with the shed build and the fire table. Taking time to mend frustrations and to share those tender moments. It's good seeing Matt again. Definitely take time to breathe away from each other. It's beautiful to help do family projects, but also can be stressful when spending too much time. Either way, it's been great seeing Nate and Matt again. ❤️❤️
Glad to see you making amends and treating your son with more respect and thanking him on camera. I remember the damages caused by the whole damn shed build and the Fire table :D Great job on this one!
They went through a hell of a time working on that house and tensions certainly hit a boiling point but they got it done and are still working together and that's true family.
Jeff was the only one really laughing about the similarity to the time you guys put the fire table 😂. Love your work and that you have your family help out
Imagine the look on the next guys face if we had done that lol. Like how thick would that floor be like 6 inches? Not going to lie I laughed pretty good imagining that that would be hilarious
I work with my son's as a contractor, love having them with me, reminds me why I work so hard. I will say this, it's a damn stressful situation at times having them there and it causes alot of unnecessary stress when they bad talk and question my methods. Your son seems to do that slot, I'm hoping you check him and let him know your the lead guy and he needs to learn respect and understanding of your role and his. Just a comment from one contractor to another no disrespect toward you or your son and your relationship. Side note, you do good work, thank you for keeping our trade honest and respectful.
Watching Jeff do his own house makes me feel way better about the absolute disaster that is my house renovation. Finally finished 1 whole floor but still a lot to go!
I think a lot of people will agree I thought the same but honestly once you start updating the whole bathroom whatever is old really sticks out. So best to do it all
If you've got vinegar laying about, put your fittings in there for like 30 mins and it'll clean it right up instead of CLR, which obviously works great, but Vinegar does the job just as well and minimizes chemical use.
That extension bit comes in so clutch for you 😂 you guys are doing honest work! It wasn’t until this recent video I had an idea of how many years you guys have had the farmhouse for! Neat! Keep it up gentlemen wish I could give you guys a free hand!
Jeff, I fucking hate losing a huge ass porcelain tile to the tile cutter. So I either use the electric grinder or I distribute the load on each side of the metal pusher by using a few scrap planks.
Once again I learned several new things. Tiling over tile in the shower and the floor. The plumbing is a bit too much for me. Beyond my skill set and expertise. Thank you for explaining things so I can understand 👍
I saw the bit with the shutoff valves stripping and had to laugh. I had the same thing happen a month ago at my place. We went to shut off the main valve to find it was also corroded. I wanted that vanity out so I cut those pipes, one at a time, and while water poured out I forged ahead and installed the sharkbite valves. $400 later I also had the main valve replaced.
It's a nice, light sound, it's just a good thing, I'm just going to see the video, thank you, thank you, always be with me, just a good video, please,👍👍
I'm certainly no plumber but wouldn't you want more of a Y type connection for the sink drains rather than a 45 degree hard turn? Also why did you have the drain coming from up top connect to both the drain below and the sink drain all the way to the right (was this a vent pipe or something?)?
seeing the hole in the wall paper makes me think about things we've done in our house , i e starting a "straight forward" repair that turns into a project - - - I know it happens to save wall paper or not enough was ordered or wall paper is around a large mirror attached to studs etc --- whenever possible we paint or paper an entire surface so the next people will not find a "robbed Peter to pay Paul" job like we frequently do (Example: taking out a non - code modular shower to see bare cement (not tile) on a bathroom floor grrrrr) - - wish Jeff would come to our house
You probably shouldn’t cut on that miter saw without sitting the wood on the back fence. But if you will anyways, keep that thumb tucked in, my dad cut his thumb off in the 90’s cutting a piece of hard wood flooring the same way you cut there because the blade pulled the whole piece of wood towards it.
34:27 you mention "we want nothing to do with this old style of plumbing" but proceed to still make PEX crimp connections. Can you please elaborate? If you're referring to the crimp ring over the clamp ring they're both of the same era, use the same F1807 crimp fittings and are both controlled by ASTM standards.
Hi M Jeff! Could you tell me what was the product or serial number for the 59" Shower Panel with dual shower head you purchased at Wayfair a couple of years ago? thanks
Believe it or not these videos are 100% current so this is still happening right now as we speak. Bathroom is finished thursday you will see the episode and next week it goes on the market. We are documenting the journey so hope you stick around should be a lot of fun.
I have plaster walls which make my situation a little more complicated xD lord knows it probably needs to be tore out and redone tho.. that bathroom hasnt been touched in yeaarrss. Its probably original.
Hate to say it, but the new shower tile is a horrible color already. But the old one would have also looked better with the counter top. Also not a fan of going over existing things. You could be missing an issue under the old stuff.
I always laugh so much at the intro of you making the wee tractor nearly tip and you laughing like a boy with a new toy 🤣 can I ask I've probably missed it but why are you doing all that work getting it up to standard and your taste just to move house?
Yeah your right that was intentional and a source of conflict for me. Because Jeff finished the floor at the end of all that but began it earlier. I decided to use the time-lapse back to back to demonstrate the ease of install rather than keeping it chronological. It just didn't work in the edit suite with the floor at the end so it's a sacrifice I had to make. Glad you enjoyed it otherwise and good eyw
Is it a hard water thing or out in country with high iron content thing! Cuz my house is like that but granted the one toilet is 40 yrs old! Lol all cleaned on a weekly or twice weekly basis!
His kids always making him do the hard work..like walking backwards up the stairs in this video. The other video he's making his dad move 4x8 plywood by himself . Jeff needs to make his helper do some of the hard work that's why he's there to help not do the easy stuff . Maybe theres more to it it's just what I notice..

"Toxic but survivable". Possibly the best statement ever made in a DIY video haha.
Keep it up Jeff.
Jeff was the only one really laughing about the similarity to the time you guys put the fire table 😂. Love your work and that you have your family help out
I think all we can do is laugh at this point. But at the time is was quite stressful
Matt took a moment, then remembered and chuckled.
Haha I’m helping my father fix up his house and definitely understand that dynamic
I love this, so many moments of gold. Jeff was so damn proud to get that thing level
Tile over tile floor over floor. Who ever buys this got a surprise when they inevitably go to demo it 😂
Imagine the look on the next guys face if we had done that lol. Like how thick would that floor be like 6 inches? Not going to lie I laughed pretty good imagining that that would be hilarious

looks like hes just helping out and not on payroll. so you can't really apply the same logic.
Watching Jeff do his own house makes me feel way better about the absolute disaster that is my house renovation. Finally finished 1 whole floor but still a lot to go!
Wow I'm kinda jealous about your beautiful electric Dewalt skill saw
i thought that shower looked fine as is! But I do get your idea to make the tile match throughout the bathroom.
I think a lot of people will agree I thought the same but honestly once you start updating the whole bathroom whatever is old really sticks out. So best to do it all

Glad you like it. Wait until you see what we got planned with the season finale
"It's toxic but it's survivable" Lol. Safety second as you would say
Yeah Jeff doesn't sweat the small stuff haha
wood floors in the bathroom? doesn't seem like that would be a good idea around the toilet or just for wet in general??
Youre not cheap Jeff, you are just a Dutchman deep inside. No shame, we are all the same!!
Best idea yet pull guard back and cut toward your stomach
Jeff, I fucking hate losing a huge ass porcelain tile to the tile cutter. So I either use the electric grinder or I distribute the load on each side of the metal pusher by using a few scrap planks.
@36:01 it was a good one Jeff
Is that watch real wood? Looks nice

great video! but I would say, at 44:00, that cut is crazily dangerous.
Jeff, that cackle during the moment you're rocking that Cat back and forth is absolutely diabolical. I laugh every time I hear it.
Glad you enjoy it cheers
Amazing!!!!
It's a nice, light sound, it's just a good thing, I'm just going to see the video, thank you, thank you, always be with me, just a good video, please,👍👍
This kid has to be high? Lol very entertaining.

Does it matter which end of the room you start your flooring installation at?
Yes! A new episode of In the Life of…! Be good! Don’t mention the fire pit! Lol
The first rule of renovision we dont talk about the fire table haah!
@@SubdivisionAuto 🙈🙉🙊 😂

I'm trying to figure out what you gain by tiling over tile... Unless it's in great condition it seems silly
The struggle is real
34:27 you mention "we want nothing to do with this old style of plumbing" but proceed to still make PEX crimp connections. Can you please elaborate? If you're referring to the crimp ring over the clamp ring they're both of the same era, use the same F1807 crimp fittings and are both controlled by ASTM standards.
Hi M Jeff! Could you tell me what was the product or serial number for the 59" Shower Panel with dual shower head you purchased at Wayfair a couple of years ago?
thanks
great video ....are you going to buy a new house to remodel .?.
Well your just going to have to keep watching John... all the answers are revealed in the next few weeks
Unscrew the shutoff from the other bathroom, use it and shut off the broken one. Then replace it before you lose it and voila. You're welcome.
Hello Matt and Jeff. Hope all is well.
Everything in this serious awesome. Would there be any advantage in some WD40 on the front door hinges?
That floor heating system can radiate through the tile and reach the hardwood?
Omg that toilet was horrendous! You do beautiful work.Do you donate to Habitat for Humanity, it would help them.👍
14:08 Did you really just ask what way is the water flowing Jeff? Its just being used as an emergency cap ;)
How much did you guys end up making on the farm house when you sold it? And how much did it sell for?
Believe it or not these videos are 100% current so this is still happening right now as we speak. Bathroom is finished thursday you will see the episode and next week it goes on the market. We are documenting the journey so hope you stick around should be a lot of fun.
Always jeff love both your channels
Soooo are talking fire table or not talking fire table??? was I right when I saw it was no complete at the end?
Hey Jeff who are the musicians in this video?
I have plaster walls which make my situation a little more complicated xD lord knows it probably needs to be tore out and redone tho.. that bathroom hasnt been touched in yeaarrss. Its probably original.
I'm genuinely surprised you're not getting nailed with copyright strikes for the music. Do you have an agreement in place?
The music is paid for
Hate to say it, but the new shower tile is a horrible color already. But the old one would have also looked better with the counter top.
Also not a fan of going over existing things. You could be missing an issue under the old stuff.
use up the extra from the bedroom!!
I always laugh so much at the intro of you making the wee tractor nearly tip and you laughing like a boy with a new toy 🤣 can I ask I've probably missed it but why are you doing all that work getting it up to standard and your taste just to move house?
One of the most dangerous things I have seen with a skill saw. 44:04
Great video but damn that is one dirty toilet
great video but the editing need work went from showing us the floor was installed to taking out the toilet and no floor installed.
Yeah your right that was intentional and a source of conflict for me. Because Jeff finished the floor at the end of all that but began it earlier. I decided to use the time-lapse back to back to demonstrate the ease of install rather than keeping it chronological. It just didn't work in the edit suite with the floor at the end so it's a sacrifice I had to make. Glad you enjoyed it otherwise and good eyw
I'm American, we're a lot weird. ;-)
Even weird Canadians have no excuse for the level of nasty that was that bathroom, especially the toilet. Did you ever clean it?
Is it a hard water thing or out in country with high iron content thing! Cuz my house is like that but granted the one toilet is 40 yrs old! Lol all cleaned on a weekly or twice weekly basis!
Jeff that is the most digusting toilet i have ever seen in my life. I thought you were a cultured Canadian.
High iron content in country water or something I think - stains things that colour
His kids always making him do the hard work..like walking backwards up the stairs in this video. The other video he's making his dad move 4x8 plywood by himself . Jeff needs to make his helper do some of the hard work that's why he's there to help not do the easy stuff . Maybe theres more to it it's just what I notice..
Pretty bad when your the guy you said did a hack job on the bath !!!!
Your kid is cooked.
I thought the saying was baked
If your goose is cooked - you in BIG trouble!
