Becky: I have a couple of hours - I think I'll paint the shelf. Me: I have a couple of hours - I think I'll watch Becky paint a shelf 😄
😂😂😂
Right!! 😂😂😂😂
Right on. Me too. 😂
Haha. Yup, same here.
If you can move that big metal desk, see about putting wheels on it so you can move it if you ever need to some other time.
Good idea!
I agree. Don't know how to "jack up" (as in changing a tire) both ends simultaneously safely but adding casters (wheels) would be so beneficial now and in the future. Hope it goes well. Happy Spring everyone!!!
They have large disk furniture slides. It will keep your flooring from getting scratched when you two move it back in. Your grow room is amazing. I would love to have one some day.
@@kathrynmauro8673 I was just going to suggest that. A great idea.
My husband is a contractor and he uses the disk slides, they work beautifully! Back savers for sure!
I say, make the grow room into your canning kitchen, so that when you're canning a bunch of preservation projects in the summer, you don't heat up your whole kitchen! Bring the freeze dryer and other food preservation appliances in there, and it will streamline preserving everything from the garden. Since you have water in there, you can also install a sink and a small counter next to it for washing produce. All of your preservation supplies could be put in the metal desk and on the shelf.
I like that idea!
That is a good idea!!
That's a great idea...a preservation room! I think painting the cement floor is a great idea too. The heavy metal desk and the possibility of dropping heavy objects may cut into a vinyl floor anyway. If it's just used as a utility type room, it's best to keep the cement. You can even paint it with texturing paint (garage floor paint). Easy peasy to sweep and mop up spills. Less likely for slip and falls too.
Oooo that would be a good idea once you make the greenhouse outside... and those big windows would give great natural light for videoing.
I,love this idea
Stain the concrete! Scrape up as much of the glue as possible, buff it down, and stain the concrete! I have a friend who did this in her HOME, as they remodeled it and it is beautiful. No need to worry about the flooring once it’s stained. 🎉
That's how I would go for now. The purpose of the room is soil. Then down the road when you have greenhouse and decide how you will use this room you will have more time to contemplate and make decisions about long term. Its all good whatever direction you go. You have time to breathe and dream.
Yes, you are correct, we painted our concrete floors also. They have paint for that 😉
I would definitely do that… stained concrete is awesome & you can hose the dirt out. The vinyl might start lifting over time if it gets wet a lot.
You can also paint concrete. Stain would still show all the glue marks. Paint would cover and be a solution for now for far less than flooring while you decide on the purpose of that room in future.
I think we might! I love that idea :)
you might want to think of giving the large black desk a nice fresh coat of spray paint!
A pretty new coat of paint is just what it is screaming for. A light sanding of the rusting drawer mounts would help the drawers to slide better. A lovely yellow or teal colour or better yet maybe Becky's favourite color.
The "paint the desk", idea is great. I found on metal, Rustoleum to have the best 1 spray finish, unless you're planning on painting white and then it may take a 2nd coat but it dries quite quickly so you could probably get it done in a couple hours if that. The most important is clean up drips, if you get them, fairly quickly.
i love that josh has been in the videos more frequently and mic'd up. it is great to see you both interact. I think bigger projects with both would be fun.
If you’re planning to keep the large cabinet long term, now would be the perfect time to consider prepping and painting it, and adding casters as well. Could be a very useful piece.
Such a great idea! Love the idea 💡 of putting on casters too as it's such a heavy cabinet.
Since redoing the room..it would be nice to paint the cabinet..now clean...it is a great cabinet...my Dad had one just like it..for tools etc...
Well ..good came out of it..they saved you work taking up the rug..hallelujah ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Becky! Suggestion: with that indoor hose and no step up into the house, maybe consider a water/moisture alarm thatll alert you if there is a leak.
Amen!
And for the water heater, too!
You can paint the concrete
I have scraped and painted many concrete floors. Makes a super durable surface that is easy to mop, sweep, vacuum and keep clean. Also prevents the ‘dust’ that comes off of unsealed concrete. Some paint stores have option to tint to a color of your choice but ensure a good quality concrete product is chosen. Only downside is it can be a bit slippery with croc type shoes if the floor is wet. There are products that can be purchased that have a ‘grit’ in it to reduce slipping. The downside with this is that it’s a bit more difficult to clean.
They actually have paint kits for concrete floors that have semi abrasive material you can sprinkle over the surface. Also they have decorative items that you can sprinkle in the surface area to create the illusion of a vinyl floor.
And it’s always ready to install other flooring sometime in the future if you..or future owners want to.
Yes painting might be a good solution for now, easy to clean with dirt. They have conrete paint with texture for no slipping. I've used it.
Josh is an adorable goober. I can hear the smile in your voice when you talk to him.
When you get your greenhouse, that little room would make an incredible mudroom for when the kids get older.
@@summerofstacey6676They have one young boy but have chosen not to put him on social media.
She has a little boy and has chosen not to have him on her channel. We did get tiny glimpses of him when he was an infant and in a sling while Becky worked.@summerofstacey6676
@@lindastent-campbell5130 ohhhh!!! I had no idea!! Thanks for letting me know

She only has one kid. He's about 15 months old. She doesn't want to show him ❤️❤️@@summerofstacey6676
Happy Birthday Josh 🥂hope you had a wonderful day. The place is looking great. Thank you both for sharing your life/journey with us.
You should put a fresh coat of spray Rustoleum paint on the work bench while you have the chance, You are amazing !!! The best you tube show I have found . Love everything you do.
What a beautiful team you two are ❤it’s a joy to see!
I agree 100%, so nice to see.
Good attitude to have, always something to slow things down, but sometimes they happen for a reason and have a fun party and Happy Birthday to Josh,🎉
Hello Acre friends and family! Hope everyone is having a blessed day ❤
Right back at you! : )
You always have the option of having the floor epoxied. Not very expensive and puts a beautiful finish on it.
They could diy the epoxy concrete floor as a project 😊
Please, please, please paint the pegboard as well. It will look soooo much better! Plus, paint in the holes will keep the clips from falling out so easy. 💖🌞🌵😷
Hey Becky. Hey Acre Friends. I am ready to see all the fun exciting things that are fixing to go on. ❤❤❤
I like the heavy metal desk, you don't see those very often. Paint it green. And casters on each piece. 😁
You are so organized, you just amaze me. If I were having company the next day, I’d be in panic mode. But nooot Becky! Miss Organization! So jealous!❤️
Ms organization yes but I noticed when she speaks really fast, her eyes are noticeably dark and wants to tackle all like football players, she's mostly stressed. Josh was hardly touching the heavy lightly, she was wonder woman😅
If the edge behind the cabinet along wall need concrete, get a bag of concrete mix and pour and lay concrete with a trellis❤❤ Put down your own tile with cuts facing the wall behind counter.
@@Indigosoul127 what rubbish are you speaking? Please keep ur thoughts to yourself … indigo soul!but you try to breakdown someone else you don’t even know. Time for introspection me thinks… have a great day 😊
Suggestion for room. I believe you said Laundry room and josh office share same room. Maybe make that Laundry room
I don't think that Becky would want to relocate where she does laundry, it's currently so close to where she has the bedrooms, it might be more inconvenient to move the laundry so far away.
I believe there is a room for Josh's office upstairs but it is not finished yet.
Yes, looking forward to seeing the upstairs office finished. @@kaitiemarie9572
You could paint the concrete floors after you get the glue up. They have non skid solution you can put in the paint from Sherwin Williams so when the floor gets wet it's not slippery.
you can use an epoxy type garage floor paint and add color chips to it for the floors
Good to see you, Busy Lady.
Thanks for watching!
I’m surprised you just didn’t put the flooring off for a couple months till you start planting the seedlings, sure would have made sense to me and doing so it would really save time and energy to do other more important things.
5:00
Becky: Josh, will you do that for me?
Josh: Sure! (*does it*)
Becky: Well that was really easy to get that done 😂
Wish that process worked at my home!
Yeah my husband is never that happy and willing to help!
Josh is a blessing 😊
That had me laughing so hard! Thanks for the giggles!
I would get some industrial wheels for the black cabinet for sure! Also, have Josh add wheels to the bottom of that cabinet you just painted. It will make it easier to move around your seeds to the work area, etc. you could always add a strip across the back of the open areas if you’re worried about things falling out the back.
Happy Birthday Josh may you have many more. 🧁🎂
We had a big metal cabinet just like yours. Back in the 1980's, someone my husband worked for was gonna throw it away we brought it home, scrubbed it up really well and primered it, then painted it a pretty cranberry color, kept the black handles and put a butcher block top on it. We used that as a kitchen cupboard for years till we sold that house. The people who bought our house still use it as a kitchen cupboard.
If you store your seeds in the metal cabinet it will keep them cool & in a dark place. I would just leave it concrete. You can buy a sealer for it. That will make it shiny. Or you can buy the garage floor paint & sealer it looks really nice. It will be so much more durable without the flooring.
We stained our basement floor. It was so easy. The carpet was clued to the floor. The hardest part was getting the clue off the floor. And I really liked the final result. That may be something to think about.
When we finished our basement floor we put a plywood over the cement that has pucks underneath. It allows for the concrete to breathe and prevents any moisture (because concrete is porous) from getting on the finished flooring. It might be an option for that utility room. It's also got the benefit of keeping the floor a little warmer because it's not in direct contact with the chilly concrete.
Would love to see other renos you and Josh have done in the house, even a house tour. I was thinking about the rooms upstairs that you were working on when you moved in.
Paint the desk! Pick a color you love or have it match the walls. It will make you feel so good! Krylon spray paints work great. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing!!!
Becky unsealed concrete creates tons of dust. Polish and seal the floor if you keep it
You can store .your tools in the drawers ,your dirt and fertilizer under the drawers. Perfect as a gardening shelf!
You are such a hard worker Becky. Good luck with your choosing your best option for your floor. Love those metal cabinets. . They would look nice vintage green colour. Josh is such a calm helper. You both work well together. So nice to see❤️❤️
We have a concrete floor that was paint and it’s been wonderful to keep clean and never losses it shine !
Becky, if you could find a couple of floor jacks that would fit under the desk you could jack it up and move it
Making progress. I love watching the progress. Tfs. Have a wonderful afternoon.🤗
Wow! I cannot believe how much work you & Josh did in prepping this room! Not to mention the work leading up to your party!
Good afternoon Becky! Happy Growing!🌱🌱🌱❤️🙏❤️🙏☮️
Happy Saturday!
@@AcreHomestead never heard of cinnamon preventing mold. Ha, the things I learn from a little girl in the opposite end of the US! Thanks hon!
Becky, instead of flooring, the concrete floor could be coated with that special paint used in auto dealerships which leaves a smooth, durable finish that is easy to sweep clean and less costly than flooring. It’s also more practical since you are using the room for plants.
You could put the heat mat on the grow shelves n save yourself some room. You also should paint the metal cabinet it's such a eye sore. Also you could take that end cabinet n place by the water lines n add a utility sink
I was thinking the same thing about that cabinet being right on the wall by the spigot. And keeping the seeds in that cabinet so everything is cohesive.
Paint those metal shelves bf you put them back! So much easier with them all taken apart.
An idea. 💡 you could use rustoleum paint spray and paint those cabinets . Just a thought. I admire how you just roll with issues. Such a sweetoutlook in life. Have a great weekend celebrating with friends and family
Put the counter/drawers under the window and your grow shelves along the back wall. Then you can look out on the garden while you plant seeds and the plants on your heat mats can get some light in case they germinate without you noticing.
Yay! New video. I have literally watched ALL of your videos through binge watching and I'm sad because now I have to actually wait for your new videos. Keep them coming please!
It would make a great office for Josh its got great light. Better than the laundry room.
Idea: paint the metal cabinet with Rustoleum sage green. Later, pre-made butcher block top from Lowe's/Home Depot.
the metal desk top is actually more beneficial for her heat mats.
A new grocery had their concrete floor stained in a couple of brown tones swirled with hi lights of turquoise. Then sealed in gloss finish. It was so so pretty and of course, very practical.
Many of the grocery stores by me have done the stained concrete floors instead of tiles. It’s a good look.
Thank you for the extra video, I enjoyed this. Love seeing mini projects get done off the list.
Wow! You are one busy lady. I'm sure how ever you finish the floor will be awesome. 👍 Happy Birthday to Josh. 🤗🎂🎈🎉
I need an older Josh!!! HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO YOU, Josh.
You could run a sander over your concrete floor, paint with a good sealer/primer and paint it! I think your room would look great with an olive green floor to complement your walls! It would cost far less than flooring and be easy to clean and touch up as needed.
Enjoy this beautiful weather we are sharing in the Pacific Northwest.... Gig Harbor here.....🌻😎☀🌞
Hey Becky, I noticed that one of your peppers seeds are called Ajvar. These peppers are used to make Ajvar, which is where they get there name. Ajvar is a condiment and a pentry must, here is Serbia and the rest of the Balkans. It is made by roasting the peppers and then canning them. It is supper delicious and you can put it on anything. I don't think you picked the Ajvar peppers to grow this year, but please think about it for next year, because I bet you would love Ajvar if you tried it.
Also, thanks for all the videos! You inspired me to do some of my own freezer meals and gardening and I am so thankful for all the knowledge you shared on your videos
Are they hot?
@@phylliscurtner5578 no, Ajvar peppers are sweet. But you can add spicy peppers to your Ajvar to make it hot.
That sounds delish! I'm a huge condiment person!😂
I’m so excited to see the new flooring!!
Well! Life happens - bummer! Love your positive attitude. Blessings Becky and family.
I know many people who have painted their concrete floors and were very happy with the results and it looks very nice too! You will like how easy it is to keep clean as a grow room too. 🍀
Lots of work, but looking great. I can't wait to see the finished room.
Thanks for sharing.
Great teamwork. 💙🩷
They sell a concrete stain that you can get in a lot of different colors. My employers have an archery shop. They stained the cement floor in the range like green grass and it looked really cool. It helped to seal the cement as well as brighten up the space. Hope this helps somehow! 😊
I was thinking about concrete stain or maybe an epoxy.
You could do a concrete floor laminate like they do in garages. It’s a poured product that is then smoothed out to the finished look. You can make it solid color or add bits that give it a spackled look. It seals the floor and looks great
🎉🎉🎉🎉Happy Birthday Josh! Hope you enjoyed your special day.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy Birthday Josh may you be blessed with many more 🎉. Concrete is a good way to go
You have Elfa upright shelf supports behind that wooden cabinet. It would not take much to order the shelves and brackets rather than paint the wooden shelf. It would be so much better for organizing.
Concrete Paint stain or Epoxy are great options. None are difficult and the floor is small enough that you could use it for practice in case you decide the garage floor need epoxy too. LOL One project always leads to another. If it will someday be a canning room check on non slip. Canning involves so much water and huge hot pots of water and slippery floors spell a trip to the ER. At least in my home. 😁. Love your channel and the way you present. A wise person tells me often ( my husband) "perfect is the enemy of done. Just get it done." You have that get it done work ethic. No over thinking , jump in a figure it out. I love that.
You can buy concrete paint in multiple colors. We’ve painted concrete before and it looks great! Also, put wheels on that cabinet. So much easier to move it!
I would definitely just stain and seal the concrete and call it done. It would work so great for that space, and then you really don’t need to add additional fixes (and money) to it.
It would still look super nice, and be functional!
One more vote for a painted concrete floor. In the future you can always put another flooring over it if you decide you want a different look. I learn so much from you. I Love all your vids Becky. ❤❤❤
I love you Becky youre the big sister I never had. I learned ALOT from you. GOD BLESS YOU N YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS!❤❤
Great point about metal top. If she’s building a greenhouse, a mudroom makes so much sense.
Should use an enamel spray to paint those metal cabinets the color you would like.
Hi Becky, hi friends! Have a wonderful weekend!
You should try a foam roller when painting a piece of furniture. I used a foam roller on a cabinet in my kitchen that my microwave was in & the bottom held pot & pans. It really was beautiful.
You can put wheels on the wooden shelf also some that lock. You’ll be able to move it when it’s full to clean behind.
Since it is a grow room for now, I would go with the floor as is with some cleaning. Then later you can put nice carpet or hardwood, depending on what it is to be use as. Enjoyed the video. Blessings
Becky,...be sure really sure that u know what u want and do not change ur plans 10 times in two days..be meanful to the contractors...or u pay them for their extra time or do not ask for a thousand changes just because u change your mind...the room once finished will look more inviting to be there doing all the prep for the gardening... a metal table with casters will work perfectly...like the once used in restaurants for prep...
31:37 Oh! That shelf looks soooo much better! 👍. 💖🌞🌵😷
Becky you are the hardest working person I've ever seen. That said it scared me to death me to death when you kick the bottom of those shelves to get it through the garage door way. First of all it could have slid further on the carpet and hurt you. Secondly you just painted it you put a foot mark on it. Girl 😅 I've seen carpet people use tape rolls to secure the roll. But that is a smart thing saves on materials thanks for the info. I bet you'll save money on disconnecting that water heater until you complete repairs in the upstairs.🎉
SWEET POTATO SLIPS. I watched The Prolific Familysteads video on sweet potatoes and he suggested to put the potatoes in soil and it works so well I was amazed. Putting the potatoes in water in a jar have slower growth I will always use soil from now on
If you keep the floor concrete, you may want to paint it. Paint would help you find seeds you drop. Then if later on you decide to make it a play room, you can put flooring in like you had previously planned.
Becky, just paint the floor with concrete floor paint. I would not use the white wood open shelf. I agree put casters on the metal shelves. Lots of work got done🎉 Hope Josh’s party 🎂🥳 was a success. Happy birthday, Josh
Turn the grow room into Josh’s office. You could always stain the concrete and just put an area rug in the room.
I think there is a room upstairs that is going to be his office.
Yay! Becky ❤
Trust me, you'll find things to put on those white shelves! 💖🌞🌵😷
You and Josh are such an inspiration. Such a hard working couple and so respectful to each other too. A joy to watch x
Hola Becky and Friends ❤
Good Morning!
I like the idea of the grow room being Josh's office.
and nice natural view and light
It's best not to have an office right off of the garage, especially if you have a water heater in the room.
Great team work.. Hic ups not unusual with remodel. Glad big cupboard came apart. Could paint concrete. Looking better. Thanks for sharing.
I agree! Add the wheels and get that desk/work table as one movable unit! Great job painting the wooden shelf unit too! The place is really getting better & better! ❤❤❤
If you decide to skip the flooring you could do a nice grey or white concrete paint instead? Would be a nice clean simple option? 😊
If the floor isn't too uneven or bumpy, perhaps you can just get cement floor paint to give it a "finished" look!! A lot cheaper than floor ing. Then one day when you get your greenhouse, you can pick out a floor that will go with whatever you choose to use the room for. And that floor will not be damaged by all the dirt and "stuff" that may get dragged on it.... Win Win!!
Hi Becky & friends. On the bright side you cleaned the metal piece. Water heater,painted the shelf😊. Once you get the area on the walls painted it will be great. You and Josh work so great together on projects. I kinda like the concrete floor especially when working with soil cause you can scrub them good. A very Happy Birthday to Josh. Enjoy your day and guests. Blessings🎉
I would also spray paint the metal cabinet & put wheels on it so you move it easily.
Know it’s not a democracy, but my vote is don’t keep the concrete floor. Put in your vinyl (or whatever). Take care!
Hello! An idea for you. Now that you have taken the cabinet apart, you now have the option of rearranging the order of them, like putting the drawers in the middle! It is duch a nice height to work at, you will continue using it even after you have your greenhouse. Maybe a coat of paint? And definitely put wheels on it, like someone else suggested. Hope the foundation/flooring issue is not too much of a problem to fix. Happy gardening!!!
Becky, you really need to wear some supportive shoes while doing all this walking. Especially on concrete or tiles!! You will appreciate this as you grow older. Love your videos!!❤️
I agree about shoes
Arches can fall with times - please protect them
Becky, clean the concrete then get you some epoxy floor coat! Or have someone do it for you. It’s pretty and coats all is self leveling and easy to clean. Then throw you some support type rug mats down. ❤
You need to put a water heater drip pan under your heater. You might also want to buy an insulated blanket for your heater. Plus get a hose that is long enough to reach out the door when you drain the heater a couple of times each year and leave it by the heater.
If you are going to move those cabinets you should wait to paint until the cabinets are moved.
It had a drip pan under it.
