    A beautiful carpet will add color that will draw your eye away from the imperfections, everything you have done so far has really changed the room to rustic elegance! It will look amazing when you are done!

    I haven’t minded watching the bathroom remodel at all. There’s a learning curve. If you get the chance one day, you can change the flooring to something else. If not, you’ll move on to another project with the knowledge you gained. I am loving the outside light!!! You are doing a great job!

  • @BettyKoehler-zg5sv

    Great idea for your snow pole! I have a log home, too, and the chinking is cracking with age. The cabin is 38 years old. I had the outside corn blasted 3 years ago, and it took it down to the bare logs. The same company restained it, and put a sealer on it. It looks like a new cabin, and am glad I had it done for maintenance reasons. Wow! Your wall looks fantastic!! The bathroom construction has been very interesting…not to “endure” at all! It is, after all, part of you life in Alaska! Not to fret about your floor seams…once your furniture and fixings are in, you won’t notice them. Your outside light is going to come in real handy! Great video!!! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻

    Having lived in the south all my life, its hard for me to imagine having to have a snow pole to measure snow. The deepest I have ever seen was 6 inches 1 time. We haven't had any snow in Georgia in several years. I hope it continues to stay in Alaska. 😅

    Hi…Can I tell you what a fantastic job you’re doing. It’s looking so good. I’m a woman that wouldn’t even think of doing the construction you have. Congratulations! 💕
    Also, a friend of ours laid vinyl flooring in a condo I used to own. He told us there are crayon like things you buy that match floor color. They melt to fill in the gaps. Sorry…Don’t know what they’re called.

  • @wyldmountainrose840

    With the seams and chips.... a chisel edge sharpie in the tan - gray colors helps!!! Blend by doing a skip mark (_____ _ ______) idea... so it's not a solid line. Work light colors first.
    When those seams show, use the darkest color first and that should help camo them for you. Good luck! The remodel/repairs is good info for anyone anywhere. You're doing great!!!

    I love your construction videos. I've put in many locking plank floors and had the same seam issues you do when I first started. The problem is that I thought I had to use the block and hammer to make the planks fit. I used them like you did. I learned that it shouldn't be done lime that. You just need to raise up the plank you're putting in a little and jiggle it until it locks into place. A little tap is all that's necessary to seat it fully. When I beat on the plank (like you were doing) it damaged the ridges of the locking system and created visible seams. Please know that I'm not criticizing
    you or being mean. I did the same thing! I practiced with a couple of planks and realized that a light hand was so much better. I had no idea how fragile the locking ridges were. Hus

    If you do vinyl plank again, be sure to buy one whose edges aren’t light colored. We applied some-and we’re definitely not pros! When I look very closely, I see a few little gaps, but the darker edges make them practically disappear.
    Great job figuring these things out!!

    Those walls look so much better! Your floors might not be perfect but the look is a huge improvement! I had a professional install vinyl plank flooring over all the hard floor areas in my home (kitchen, laundry, entries, bathrooms) and the flooring that I chose looks like polished white marble with grey vein. Everyone always thinks it looks nice but the up keep is a nightmare and like you experience the blanks begin to separate with the movement of the home. Your flooring looks as good as the professional. I think the problem is the vinyl plank flooring. I hide mine with pretty floor rugs! Can you send over the brand and model of your outside spotlight. I am amazed at how bright it is even in the distance.
