- We are FINALLY PAINTING!!! I cannot believe the difference this makes... you won't believe it either!
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

As a professional painter for over 30 years, I can guarantee that spraying does not give you a shiny finish. Nor do you have to roll after it. Anyone that rules after spraying doesn’t have a clue how to spray correctly. And there definitely is a right and a wrong way to do it. The finish you have with your paint is dictated by the paint you buy. They come in flat, eggshell, satin,semi gloss and gloss. I recommend eggshell as you can actually wipe it down. Flat paint you can’t do that with. I also recommend satin or semi gloss for woodwork as it’s a much tougher finish.
You are absolutely correct. I’ve been painting and wallpapering for years…
I agree with you 100%
I’ve been painting for 20+
yrs and never heard of what
she explained, but to each their
own I guess, but man spraying
is 100% faster. Lol.
Beg to differ. I have matt (flat) paint throughout my house in the UK. It's totally washable. Also we have silk and soft sheen paints that aren't as shiny as eggshell and are also washable.
You're exactly right. I was wondering what the heck she was talking about!!!
I agree but the lady can only go what she been instructed to do . More handy works gains experience and knowledge .Bless you Arron !
Hi Abby. You might want to caulk the seams in those storage spaces over eaves even if you choose not to tape them. Little critters and dust can still get into those spaces.
A paint poll will save you loads of time. I could literally paint that room in 20 minutes.
I really need to get me one if it helps that much !
You should have a handle to give you more power, strength and control when you paint. Also, a little known fact. Any spot that didn't get paint is called a "holiday". I was once a painter so that's how I know. But seriously, use a roller handle. You will be surprised how much quicker you get done.
And some are actually vacations!😅
Definitely get yourself a extension pole that’s adjustable so you can reach the ceilings and still shorten it for tight places!
Abby if you use a long wood handle on your paint roller it’s a lot less tiring! Saves a lot of bending over loading the roller to!
Such a difference. It looks amazing. You have taken an old house in rough shape and transformed it. You should be very proud of your and Jay's accomplishments. Enjoy a relaxing well deserved life in your new home.
It’s crazy how much a coat of primer can take it from looking like construction to a house! I have been here since day one, and it’s been so much fun watching all of the progress. Gosh, you’ll be installing outlets, light fixtures, radiators, and trim work in no time flat! How exciting!

Looks great! I've been following your progress since day one. Stay blessed 🙌
The primer coat looks fantastic, Abby!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🌻🌻🌻🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I thought of how far you have come. Gutting the whole house & all the hard work. But it looks amazing. Jay is such a sweetheart & your family. You have all done a great job. So Happy for You. Love your home & such a beautiful spot.
Well, someone has really been rocking and rolling…paint! Looks so good! Now you have William helping you too…so blessed, girl. Mom bringing coffee and food…life is good.
Great progress - finally getting to all the fun stuff.
Suggestion - I would designate an outfit just for painting - you have so much painting to do, no sense in getting multiple clothing pieces splattered with paint. Or invest in an inexpensive jump suit.
It’s looking great. The craftsmanship is starting to show.
I'm excited for the next walk-through when we can see the changes from the beginning to it's current stage. You have come SO far, and it's looking great!
I understand why you are so excited!! Each step will give you the same excitement! Moving in day is not that far away!!
Abby the house looks great! The color you chose is going to compliment the woodwork and cabinets beautifully. So you have seen cats at your house? Someone probably dropped them there. People are so cruel. But please even if you're not a cat person, take care of them. If you know you don't want to make them your own get them to a no kill shelter where they have a chance of getting adopted. Thank you for sharing your fixer upper story with us!
Hi Abby I went to the first video when you started A Drill & A Dream and how far you have come on the house. With all the help from your friends and family especially Jay being there so much while you were at work. Great job everyone 👏 👏👏👏
Looks amazing!
Get an extenstion pole( the length can be adjusted)to screw intp the handle of the roller, saves going up and down a ladder
Use a poll on your roller when you are paining. It will make it easier for you.
I am so excited for you. Everything is starting to look with the primer. Shows what a good job you and Jay did with the mudding. Nice!
Abby, have you purchased all your light fixtures for your rooms? So happy you are now priming! I watch you every week! 😊
Looking so good, your hard work is taking high gear . Well done to you and your crew !!!!! 😊
Wow. All that prep work really paid off! Also, the vault above the bay window looks SO GOOD!!!
So Exciting I am so proud of all you have accomplished Look at you go!
Looks great
I was thinking how dark, dirty and worn looking in the beginning, and Now! Bright , clean fresh and new! I am so excited. I very happy for you.
Super nice, congratulations!
I've been watching you do this from the very beginning. You guys have really really worked hard! Aren't the bedrooms upstairs awesome :))))) Congrats girl. You are getting there lol.
You know on your boxed windows you ought to see if you could get some marble off cuts and put that in the bottom of your windows. I think it would be beautiful and appropriate for the style of house. I’ve seen people on RUclips cut stone with a circular saw by keeping it wet. Something to think about. Anyway the house looks great. So proud of you!
Looks good Abby. A few more weeks, then you can move in.
I have spray painted walls and have rolled them. It’s whatever you feel comfortable doing. Abby you’re doing a great job!
It's looking so amazing! All the hard work, you and your family and friends have contributed to the success of your project home. I hope that you have many decades of happiness living there.
Abbey you're making great progress! You should be very proud of yourself.
I helped a friend who did house painting, we used power rollers. They have a learning curve but once you get the hang of em you have up to five gallons of paint for non stop rolling. I believe the ones he had were from Wagner. Maybe could rent something like that from a hardware store.
I don't blame you for being pumped!! It looks so good!! Every day will be exciting!! Love your videos!!💕💕
Hi Abby,
Looking soooo good!!
Did you ever say what’s
going up for your stairs rail?
The Amish man gonna
make you something to go
with your doors? Be nice if so!
God Bless sweet girl!💞
Jay,
You’re knocking it out of
the park dear friend!
Job Well Done ❤️
Every roll of the roller is not boring it screams Progress and it is beautiful.
Looking good ,wow it is going to be a beautiful home.
"WOW" "WOW" "WOW", Abby!!! You'll be in your home soon!! Mid summer early fall the way it's going!!! Absolutely LOVE the progress, it is really starting to show & look like HOME!! God Bless A Drill & A Dream
The house looks amazing!! The primer makes it look so bright!! You all have done a fantastic job!!!❤
Your house is definitely coming into its own !!!🥰🎶❤️🎶🌻🌻🌻🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Seeing your hard work and excitement only makes me want to do something myself.
Amazing how much the primer really brightens up the space. Looking forward to seeing the Chantilly Lace on the walls!
Spraying is a job for professionals.🤗
I like the cabinet color you chose. It's not grey! Lovely to see things coming together so nicely.
Abby you are going to have the prettiest house! You and the crew have come so far! Well done.
You've done a great job visualizing how this whole thing would come together.
Fantastic Abby- closer & closer to being able to move in!!
Get a pole for roller, makes the job a lot easier, and a lot smother.
Some one was me Abbie , But OK it is a choice love . Looks like you will not need edge moldings . Good to see dad's employee is available to help with painting . Blessing friend , goodbye for now .
Looks great 👍 looking forward to seeing the next steps 🥂🇬🇧🧐👍
It looks good Abbey. You are amazing. Everything is beautiful.
IDEA: wouldn't it look nice to have a large, frosted window in the laundry room door? 🙏
It amazes me how it looked when you started and now. Went from worn out to new build!
Wow that looks fantastic. Starting to look like a house instead of a building site!
So happy for you Abby! Also want to commend your confidence when climbing that ladder, you have definitely mastered that!
Abby, what a difference, so excited for you❤
I'm so excited for you Abby. It looks so beautiful 😍
We always roll on the drywall primer.
Gosh Abby! It’s just beautiful! And it looks so much bigger with the white now. It’s getting so exciting! And you’ve made such really good choices. Just love it!
Super excited for you. And glad we got to see some primer go on, because I think your right. The paint wouldn't have the impact the prime does. WooHoo!!!!!
I must admit after reading some responses my eyes hurt from rolling them 🙄 My dear sweet Abby, stay positive and proud of all of your accomplishments! Bless your heart 🙏🥰. Just finished and I am PUMPED 👊
Last fall I painted the interior of the house with Behr paint in a color called "Weathered White". Looks awesome!
"Ceiling white" paint is specially formulated to be flat and a very small touch of blue. Sand paint texture on the ceilings would help diffuse the light, cover minor imperfections that show, especially on ceilings
If I lived closer to you I would love to volunteer to help you clean up, burn brush, stack rocks, pick up sticks/limbs, paint or do anything else that is needed for your house. Unfortunately I don’t live close to you! I love to stay busy myself.
Your smile made me smile too. Looking good!
It’s looking more like a home now. So happy for you .
Looking great!!!❤❤
Such a satisfying job….oh yes a coat of white primer is miraculous ….you must be thrilled
Abby, it's looking fantastic. Can't wait to see what's next. Keep up the good work.
Just a suggestion. With the stairs. While you can still access it you need to brace it better so it doesn’t squeak as you walk up and down unless you want it to function as a burglar alarm.
Wow Abby your new home is going to be so beautiful. Good luck with the next phase of this journey. You are awesome!!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️😁😁😁🐾🐾
Larger roller would cut your painting time down drastically. I’m amazed how much of a difference it makes.
Congratulations on the progress. I have been following your channel since the beginning and it’s great to see you getting closer to move in day! The house looks great. You and Jay have done an amazing job!
Amazing! You two are like energizing bunnies!
Wow, it seems like you just started sheet rocking and here you are priming! Such a change from day 1
It’s amazing what you & Jay are accomplishing.
I love 💕 it!
Abby & Jay ,
Wonderful work has been done to this old house 😉
So excited for you Abby
And I watch your folks channel too
Such a nice family and hard workers
Blessings to you all 😄
Ça prend forme petit à petit.
Courage pour la suite
Soooooo good! I’m looking forward to the micro cement finish in the upstairs bathroom.
Congratulations, your house is becoming a home. So exciting! The sheet rock does look amazing!!
One big step closer to moving in! 🎉
I hope you take a look back at your early videos to see just how far you have come! It looks great!
you are doing great for being the only 1 working on that room
Painting As Good As Professional Abby On Ur Fixer Upper House Looking Awesome.
Keep on keeping on, girl, it’s looking great!
So happy for you, congratulations! You've worked so hard! Milestone! 😊
Hi Abby, what’s the plan for the stairs going to your upstairs?
Good collaboration. A team effort 👌
Make good friends with the cats. They are great at keeping mice and other unwanted critters away. I think they will keep the snakes away also. Maybe give them a nice place to sleep. And just let them know they are welcome. Great videos.
I agree about the storage spaces. I had a landlord at the who just got the apartments and had guys come in and tape and bed the closets and storage. He said that helped to keep critters out. Because if they find a way in they will invite their friends in and will be oh so hard to get them out. Before he did he tented the place and fumigated it. Then started closing up places that they could get in.
It looks amazing so far. I can't wait to see the finished painting on the walls and then the trim, etc.
It looks amazing❣️ It’s got to be such a relief to have it looking more like a house!
I would definitely also prime your stairwell to the basement and paint it white. It makes it less creepy… 😂
Looking great! Such a difference from bare stud walls. 😊
On a side note, I believe the short open areas in bedroom are going to be storage. Are you going to tape and mud the screws in there? May not seem necessary for a storage nook but as nicely done as the rest of the house is...
If you have a mop or broom that’s handle screws on, it’ll screw on to the roller handle. Works great.
It really does look very, very good! Congrats on another milestone!
By painting what you mudded you quickly learn how to mud better. Noone likes to go back and fix mistakes. At least that's how I see it. I'm excited for you and your house. Do you have a potential move-in date? Maybe by Christmas??????
