    Kudos to you Ashley for standing there all that time while your husband explained his process - you are so supportive of him...I'm not sure I could have done that for my husband...I'da told him you go ahead and make the video this time lol

    When you were talking about tightening the jacks I kept expecting you to say "and thats when the tile cracked" Glad that never happened! A tip for you or others reading: when you are filming in super dusty/sandy/rainy conditions you can try taping a clear plastic baggie to your camera covering all except the lens. I use the free ones you get in veggie dept at grocer. It will save you from having to deep clean the camera. LOL Im loving the different sign offs! Great job!

    I live in an historic district of 150 year old brick 1 1/2 story cottages. Many of them have back porch additions that have been converted to kitchens or bedrooms. More than a few are supported by jack posts. One was supported by car jacks!

    Thanks again guys, glad that you decided to put those supports under the house, I know that I would feel much safer with the extra support. It's good to see you happy and healthy, we are all enjoying our UA-camrs channels since we are not out and about as much. I work in a grocery store so I have witnessed first hand the crazy and the hoarding of all the stupid people that have just blown things way out of proportion. Thanks again guys, sending love and hugs and I will see you soon, bye for now.

    a three foot long pipe wrench really makes short work of tightening those supports down. good video.

    Have you heard of a basement liner? It's one huge piece of measured product that covers the floor, goes up the wall and you staple or fasten it to the wood that sits on the blocks. It keeps the dust down and moisture out. Allowing for extra storage space. Another job off your list. Yes!

    You certainly support my fathers saying s of 1 - If a jobs worth doing , do it well.
    And 2 - If you want a job done properly , do it yourself .
    It’s satisfying to see you two doing perfect jobs , leaving nothing to chance . You are the sort of people that would build on stilts in an areas prone to floods . You take into account possibilities for disaster that many others would not bother about .

    At least you can sit up in your crawl space. Bill Keller from Live Simple Live Free had a video the other day about changing some drainage pipe under their little house and he had to do it all laying on his belly.. I would be screaming from claustrophobia. My kids had a great uncle that actually dug a small basement under his little house and made a family room down there. They lived in Mishawaka IN (near the IN/MI state line and I think their ground was really sandy too.

    Alright, that exit was probably the best one yet! Had me laughing! As for the jacks, I can only "Ahh, that feels much better". Glad you got that done. Hope you are all staying well and not needing any of the supplies the stores are sold out of right now. It's crazy here in California.

    Two days in a row....thanks so much for sharing. Crawl space work is always the worst. I say that but I am just moral support whenever my husband goes down under. We only have crawl spaces where they added on to the original house and added plumbing. Never easy tasks. In any event the video is much appreciated.

  • @jodijarvis1018
    @jodijarvis1018 4 роки тому +1

    @sugarsweet8598 4 роки тому +2

    Torture going under there. Bravo for always going the distance. This video made me feel better about the fact that you chose to not add the full tile in kitchen where the cabinets will be. Who needs that extra weight!! (But I'd volunteer to at least paint the wood white lol, my OCD lives.) FWIW I hear SLEEP is important in helping the body in building resistance. Stay safe and rested.

    I was beginning to research this exact information for my own mobile home renovation plans; Perfect timing!
    I'm so much better at learning techniques like this by the ol' 'seeing and doing' method. Reading up on the subject doesn't process the information into my brain quite as well. Thank you (again) for sharing your renovation adventures with UA-cam! They have provided an invaluable resource to me, personally, with my own home renovation projects.
