    At 18 minutes I became aware of an absolutely horrible "thump - thump" type audio noise of the sound track. I wish you would avoid those horrible noises.

    I would suggest that in cold weather, put the couch on a diagonal. That way when you sit down to relax the colder air coming off the walls and widows won't blow right on your necks and chill you.

    FYI you never want to get the edge with a hammer cut you off at peace about 6 inches long and then tack a board the top of it and use that to tap the pieces in place so you don’t ever damage the tongue and groove. You guys are doing a good job looks great.

    If I were you I would paint the orange looking kitchen cabinetry! A neutral color would be best in an open concept area. Bring in color with pillows, rugs, curtains, etc… love the couch color!!!!!

    Yes Katie I have to agree with you that orange screams out "Change me for heavens Sake!" and depending on how many tiles you have left over, you could make an artistic statement on the end piece? Just a suggestion.

    helpful hint (hopefully); a pair of plastic saw horses and an old solid core door will make an excellent work bench. You will then have a stable platform to operate your skill saw. It will be be a LOT safer. It is portable and when you don't need it, it doesn't take up too much room. Keep on truckin'.

Wow talk about an instant change to the whole room looks beautiful for sure. Looks like only things to do are window trims, tile for kitchen floor and foyer. What's going under the fireplace? WOW how EXCITING!!! God Bless you ALL and what a total change that flooring has made. The colors are fine with the cabinets...live with it for a while and who knows maybe you can find a couple of decorative throw pillows for an accent on the couch that are similar in color to your cabinets. If you sew they are so easy to make. I have made lots of throw pillows for various rooms it works.

    Hi this off grid life folks. I was watching your shower install and your going to have issues with rot and mold in the future. Don't want to put you nice folks down. You can't put white drywall in shower enclosure., It's not mold resistant. Got to be blue or green. Plus that pine will start to rot from condensation in a couple of years. Just a little friendly advice before you do the finishes. Flooring looks great.

    The finish on the cabinets is much less intense with the amount of contrasting floor colour.
    It's odd how adding or subtracting one large coloured object changes the room.

I agree the cupboards look strange and very orange looking especially now with the flooring! I never understood how the cupboards arrived so orange either Katie I would call the manufacturer and ask. You could ship lap the cupboards to reduce orange on that one side or add stools to see if that helps to break up the color. Aww the couch is so pretty n🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Blessing’s

    You set your saw blade and eighth of an inch thicker than the material you're cutting. It will be easier on the saw. You can guide it better and it's less likely to cut an inch and a half into your leg or two fingers off are one of those unfortunate accidents. Don't be afraid to put a sharp blade on. I've been at this cutting building and logging and other endeavors for 60 years. Just helping out. Nice job. Stay safe up there. I'm down in North Carolina

    The flooring and the new couch look great! But I have to agree that the island looks out of place...too orangy. My suggestion, if it were my house, I'd prime the island and the cabinets, then paint them either a rich blue (or lighter gray than the floor.) I would also paint the inside of the wooden door that goes to the outside. Doing that would add continuity to the entire area.

    That flooring is easier to fit than the click lock vinyl. I did my daughter's floors in her house with that vinyl and it was awful to put together. Incredible precision to get it to lock. The locking edges are hard plastic and they break. Anything that you can nail is way better. The underlayment really softens the feel of the floor when you walk on it. Perhaps you install the flooring on the back side of the orange cabinet. It should look good.
