We have basically taken on all the trades while building this house and some have been easier than others, some have been fast and some have taken a long time... like drywall haha
Tile has been one of the things that i've been worried about and to be honest the tile work that i laid down didn't look too bad, I was happy with it. Then I made a crucial mistake when grouting and I think it ruined our bathroom...

trent and allie
Trent, I think that you should be commended for putting your family's safety above all else in that bathroom. With the gritty surface on your floor tiles, no one will slip and fall on a wet floor!! Well done.
I literally thought the same thing
keep that and in ten years redo it!
I'm a senior and I thought the same thing!! As you get older safety overrides all of your concerns. With a new baby you'll appreciate the happy accidents!
Great way to look at it...an unintended upgrade. You guys are do I need a great job. Also, schedule daily sit down and stare at the sky time. 😊
Epoxy is a nightmare, my hubby is a tile setter. USE ACETONE TO REMOVE THE HAZE.
Gently rub the areas where epoxy needs to be removed with a clean, soft cloth dampened with an epoxy solvent, such as acetone. Keep the acetone in contact with the area to loosen the epoxy. Use enough acetone to soak into the surface a bit
Wear a resporator....acetone has a really strong small You can poison yourself
I was on the right track. I thought about using some nail polish remover as nail polish is a type of enamel. Good luck.
I only wish all of the naysayers would have the opportunity to be onsite of a professionally built construction project and see the problems that they create and have to work around. Trent is doing an amazing job and the end result is looking as good if not better than what professional tradesmen produce. Trent, you, Brandon and Allie are all doing a fantastic job. Keep it up and before you know it, you'll be moved in with that new little boy!
Exactly it's the only way to learn to do it make mistakes and be better u live and learn...I've had a similar experience with grout haze wasn't epoxy but takes sum elbow grease. Looking good 👍
I'm a bit of a naysayer as some have said. .I've personally built 4 of my own houses, a Medical Building and hordes of other structures I'm a certified Electrician, Class A Air Conditioning Contractor and jack of all trades Master of none and feel like I've earned the right to be a disabled retired Naysayer..
Don’t be so hard on your self: you got this
@@obwan7217 Gee, I want to thank you for replying to my post. It's not often that you are able to communicate with someone who is perfect and never made a mistake. I'll bet that all your construction projects were done without flaws and turned out perfectly. Congratulations! For those of us that aren't quite as perfect as you, maybe you could give us some advice on how we can be perfect like you instead of being critical of our efforts. Just a thought.
I honestly am so scared of epoxy, which I shouldn't be, since I'm about to start a epoxy project, but using it in a grout after knowing what I've learned, would never happen. I feel so bad for you, that stuff is forever. I'm so happy you've found a way to make it better. Praying my project goes as planned, or I'll be redoing it.
Very proud of you guys, it looks amazing, haze and all. I remember finishing the cabin and wondering, is it okay to just sit and enjoy it. :)
I'm sure Allie tells you this all the time Trent, but Dude. You've built a house!! You're freakin' awesome! Both of you (and Brandon) have worked so hard and learned and achieved so much. Kudos to you both :D
Trent, don't be so hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. The key is to learn from them and not repeat them. You have every right to be extremely proud of what you, Allie, and Brandon have accomplished. It looks awesome!
4 years ago I packed up a 2400 sqft house in Colorado and moved to France. I was completely overwhelmed. So…I packed our linen closet. Every time I would get overwhelmed, I would open the door to that closet to remind myself that I was making progress. Celebrate the victories, no matter how small.
Guys, your mistakes make for great viewing. And having watched you for the past year or two, as Allie says, "It's okay!" I'll never forget the episode where the beam smashed through the wall. at the time a drama, but you guys recovered and what a wonderful home you have in the making! Trent, you are so lucky to have Allie - she is so supportive and Allie what husband you have in Trent - he keeps smiling and keeps going! You are both a testimony to the power of never giving in! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Bright side: You won't slip during shower time. It looks good, Trent, Stop being so hard on yourself.
You are extremely too hard on yourself. All of you have done an amazing job!
A tip from an old guy, ‘more haste, less speed’. Think about your priorities guys as the house wants to be done properly. A baby is flexible and can live in the van with you until the house is finished. Love what you’ve achieved but stop rushing, it’s only stressing you out
"The hurry-er I go, the behinder I get!"
Now,it looks rustic,to fit with the rustic aspirations of the house..lol..I never liked epoxy grout.Used it once too many a time.
@@andreewert1142 I concur!! :-)
I'm am a plumber's x-wife. We owned our own company for 20 years. I'm laughing in a good way. Only because I know. Y'all are doing an excellent job with everything. You learn as you go. Brought a smile to my face. Love you both.
Rookie mistake on grout. Thoroughly cleaning grout right away is the most crucial phase of tiling. You live and learn. It could be worse. On the plus side, texture will decrease slippery flooring. 😉
Great progress vanity looks beautiful
Texture. They may never have to get their foot calluses removed with daily sanding!!!
@@ducktapeNglue.hahaha!
At least the floor won't be slippery! Might be a blessing in disguise!!
I was gonna say the same thing. They may lose the sheen of the tiles, but when I worked at HD, one of the most common questions we got was if we carried that clear topper to make smooth tile surfaces more gritty and non-slip.
So true wet feet on tile can be dangerous
Now there’s a positive attitude!!
Ruined? Y’all have a horrible sense of what failure is.. there is a reason I specialize in mosaics I can’t do perfect. It hurts my heart to see Trent so hard on himself, y’all are awesome. Trent’s dad jokes are spot on and Allie the way you laugh along with the good times is the high mark of a great wife
@@CalamityJane831 have you ever see. Someone throw tools and have a tantrum on a job site? I have.. I have also seen people start and walk away from many projects and not follow through.. laughter is medicine and clearly they are really enjoying themselves and each other. Always starts my day off in better mood then the one I woke up in.
Take it with a grain of salt. These titles are written to grab your attention. And Trent has real imposter syndrome. Be kind…they’re opening up their lives to strangers.
@@CalamityJane831 like what? Carpentry? Small space design? Electrical? Plumbing? Roofing? Framing? HVAC? Insulation? Quartz countertop manufacturing? How to run a small business and live your best life? Be your own boss? What else would you like him to learn and share?
@@Raescrivener There's a lot of jealousy going on. People try to tear them down to feel better about themselves. I think T and A and Brandon are all doing just fine 💕
Love your comment!
I don't call the tile job a failure, I call it 'texturing', your rug in there eventually, isn't going to slide and you'll probably get some antislip out of it. Turn bugs into features ;)
Trent: Stop beating up on yourself. Your dogged efforts to build a comfortable house with the help of Allie, Brandon, and others is to be respected and admired. You've never declared yourself an "expert" in either van building or home building. Yet your results are remarkable and your devotion to doing your very best is laudable. Take a victory lap for what you're achieving.
If the insects that came out of the drain look like an upside-down heart, they are drain flies.
To get rid of them pour a 1/2 cup of salt, 1/2 cup baking soda and a cup of vinegar in the drain and let it sit overnight. In the morning flush with boiling water.
I love how Trent says, "Allie told me to...." Allie is seriously the best partner in the world. Oh Trent, we all make mistakes and you are BUILDING AN ENTIRE HOUSE! Like jeez... how on earth can you be perfect at everything. It's a starter home, it's also a bathroom, and it seems to be mostly a cosmetic issue. Put a bath mat down and there you go 🙂
Trent, you're tired and trying to hurry, never a good combo. But once all the fixtures are installed, and you're able to take a shower and use the sink and toilet, and the baby is here, and you're wrapped up in loving him, an uneven finish on the tile will seem insignificant. Take it easy on yourself!
not to mention . . . something you can address at literally ANY time in the future. It'll be there waiting for you once everything else gets settled.
YES AGREE the bathroom looks great! just call it DONE. Any tweaking can be a winter weekend job. GOOD WORK
I agree with everyone on here. The tile doesn't look bad. There is some tile that has that haze look to it on purpose. You will get this! I'd say leave the tile for now and move on to another project. Getting the haze off isn't necessary for a certificate of occupancy.
Allie, you do not look like a beluga whale! You look fabulous!
be sure to check the sinks for leaks by filling them all the way to the overflow and making sure it works AND that the gasket holds under the pressure of a full sink.
Well...at least the Tile is SLIP RESISTANT...Trent don’t be so Hard on yourself, you All NEED a Break🤗
You cannot know how much joy it brings this old soul to see two young, hardworking people build a life, a home, a family. Thanks so much for sharing.
Suggestion from personal experience…buy backless stools so when not in use they slide completely under the overhang. Gives you 100% of the available walking space.
You’re supposed to wipe immediately for epoxy grout. Your technique was for regular grout where you can leave overnight and then wipe off with a wet sponge. Even then, leaving overnight isn’t a good idea. I guess it’s best to just move on. Leave it and deal with the tile later. On the bright side, it’ll never leak.
I understand you guys wanting everything to be perfect… you’ve worked so hard but don’t lose sight of all your accomplishments… you guys build a freaking house LOL. Be proud and try not to be so hard on yourself Trent! ❤️
I like to think of it as “aesthetically imperfect”, not ruined 😉 By the time you get toilet, sink, bath mat, etc etc in there you won’t even notice.
Sometimes when everything is going wrong it’s just time to take a break. Hurrying always makes me make tons of mistakes- you’ll actually save time by taking a weekend away and coming back fresh.
The island counter corners needed to be rounded, pointed corners are good for hip bruises and totally dangerous for toddlers running into them.
Very true.
My first thought exactly.
Oh yes 👍!
They have bumper pads that you can put on for toddlers.
Agreed. If you have the gracefulness as some do kids and adults will find the corners of the counter when and where they don’t want to ouch 😣 😓🤕
Tragedy is not having a home to keep you warm and comfortable.......y’all are doing an amazing job.....go easy on yourselves! Much hugs 🤗. You’ll be rounding those corners on the island real soon! It’s all beautiful, though❤️ BTW..Frank’s coat matches your mosaic tile in the shower🥰.
Love that tile on the shower floor.
Yep, Frank is a beautiful accent in the bathroom.😁
I am glad when these things don't go perfectly , that Trent has Allie around, her positive attitude and excitement level at everything, just has to be a major plus !
Allie, you are the "spitting image" of my first daughter (now 50+) so watching you is like watching a granddaughter, right down to your mannerisms. Makes watching these so sweet.
FYI: When you pick out your barstools you might consider ones with no backs so they can tuck under the counter when not in use.
We have ones that have backs but they shorten to where they go under the bar.
agree w/the backless stool idea!
Sounds like a very uncomfortable dinner table.
If the stools have straight legs, not flared legs to prevent tripping with a low back or no back there shouldn't be a problem. No stubbed toes, no !little feet tripping as they race around the kitchen.
I’m still not convinced they did the right thing, the centre island in my opinion is just too wide. It’s such a tiny thing they could have changed, if it’s not their forever home, it might be a concern considering the space in the rest of the kitchen. Maybe it’s camera angles, but even as one of their fire exits, could it be obstructed by a bar stool? 🧐 interested in seeing the final outcome.
Mistakes are part of being a homeowner...don’t stress cause in another few years you’ll want to change out your design anyway, even if it was perfect. You’re never finished with a home it’s constantly changing
Speak for yourself
Even the most well behaved child will chip a tile, accidentally or purposefully color the walls etc. It's better if you don't strive for perfect because a mentally healthy parent is way more useful for a child than a perfect house. Anger and frustration serves absolutely noone.
I have never built a house, or tiled. I admire your courage to do new things, Trent. The only people who never make mistakes are the ones who never do anything.
I wish I had another upvote to give this. Read this Trent!
Agree with Allie. "The show must go on." Lol. And in 1-2(or 5) years just re-tile your bathroom. In the meantime when you get your mirror up and a beautiful bathroom floor rug or mat.
How lucky you were that Trent realized the drain was sealed before using the toilet 😂😂😂
Trent I would suggest you call the grout manufacture & see if they have a special way to deal with getting the tile cleaned off!
Hey Trent and Allie---the tile does not look as bad as you think---It is hard to achieve absolute perfection but from the viewer perspective the bathroom looks great---Eventually with the lighting---mirrors and accessories and some bathroom rugs you will be pleased with the room---Your kitchen looks great and I could live in that house in 2 seconds flat---Be Proud---it is turning out great
Just put new title over the other.probab can't do it
Yeah, I'd be more concerned about those walls not being leveled off before tiling.
When you heard the baby’s heartbeat again after your pregnancy scare nothing else matters. Just keep on loving and supporting each other.
I really think when Trent gets a little overwhelmed, he needs to take a short break and just LOVE on Frank!
Trent dear - you are building an entire house! So few of us would ever attempt that yet alone accomplish that. It's coming along so amazingly and you are doing it for the most part as a two man team. That takes a HUGE amount of courage and strength to do. Please do not despair or get discouraged about a mistake in the bathroom on tile. In comparison of everything you have accomplished the tile in the bathroom is such a minor detail and it can be fixed in time. You are an amazing inspiration to so many. It's okay to make a mistake. Don't be so hard on yourself, this video will be such a good teaching tool for others and some day little Ginger Snap will watch - he will learn from you by your reactions to challenges. Keep being awesome! Allie, you are a stunning and beautiful expecting mother. Your positive, glowing and supportive attitude is a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day. Just love you both and thank you for allowing us to share your adventures.
That was beautifully said. Now Trent, listen to every word!
So, been there, done that. Maybe like the rule "measure twice, cut once" we should always read the instructions twice install once. 😉
I was also wondering if he read the instructions carefully.
Given your deadline with the arrival of the baby, consider finishing off the bathroom and moving on to other things. You can always come back later and redo the tile. Keep the stress manageable.
@A G N E Z_________ your nasty
So right. If you can build the house, and you've proven that you can, you can do a little renovating later. Bathroom tiles, kitchen island, you'll see how you feel about it and do it if you need to.

I've never been so excited to see complete strangers build a home😆 Everything looks amazing & I'm so happy for y'all!❤ Also, I think 1 big beautiful mirror would look really good in the bathroom!!
Re drains: in my 160 year old house, all plumbing has been retrofitted many times over many years. I learned to keep a bowl under every p-trap to catch random leaks...
You are doing a great job!!!!
Yup!
I understand Trent's frustration in the moment, but what I appreciate is how he keeps bouncing back from the frustration and so often learns it's (1) not the end of the world and (2) can be improved after all. The tile looked fine to me on screen, but I know if you look closely enough at anything you will find an imperfection, especially if you're determined to. Maybe think of them as birthmarks. You're accomplishing amazing things in your home!
Trent is such a DRAMA queen and Brandon always keeps his cool.
Thus, they compliment each other and work together well.
@@jennymontague851 Yes! exactly!
Don’t wear yourselves out tooo much. Baby time is when real exhaustion hits. Pace yourselves, it’s all going to be okay. 💕💕
Bless your hearts. Don’t take this the wrong way but I love how you show your uh oh’s and the mess . Now my husband doesn’t feel alone. He didn’t believe that other people run into trouble just like he does. Thank you for your humor and stickingtoitness!!
I love watching your videos. Watching the 2 of you interact with each other, smiles & laughs make my day. My husband was a builder & one of the best in Western North Carolina. Not my words but others who watched & saw his work. I've seen more than a thousand houses plus & watched how they went together. Trent you are doing a great job for an amateur carpenter/plumper/tile installer & more. It takes an intelligent mind to figure out all the angles & measurements in building a house. Some of the guys my husband hired, that said they were a carpenters helpers or said they had experience in this field, couldn't even measure. 😳 My husband passed away last year, but would have loved watching your videos, as I do. There's a lot of little tricks to covering up mistakes. Like the wood glue on your window trim, in your sun room. Don't worry about the tile in your bathroom, something will take it off. When you work long, hard days, without a day off, it's easier to make mistakes. My husband use to work from daylight 'til dark, 10-12 hr days, 7 days a week. As he got older, he said it wasn't worth working those extra hrs. He realized 8-9 hrs was enough & would always take Sundays off. In his 50's he decided to take both Sat & Sun off. It revives your body to get through the next week. It also makes for a better work day, with a lot less mistakes. And gives you a chance to relax & enjoy life too. He loved his work & was a happy man when he was working. He could do about anything with wood. He wore many hats, but didn't like working with electricity. Although he would put up ceiling fan & lights. You are doing great & your house is really coming together nicely. I wish you both well. I will continue to watch your videos, you make me smile. 😀
Trent, Try to remember that any project that functions is Not ruined. Keep the goal of getting in the house ASA, everything else is just for later. I designed a walk in shower, for my aging in cottage! After the plumbing was buried in concrete, the contractor started saying it was impossible to not have a shower pan. I didn't want one and she never spelled out the problem, [as an RN knew
handicap showers were possible] seemed to blame the installed pebble like floor. It's not right [poor communication on my part as I was across the country] but I got around it with the shower curtain brought in on the sides [duck tape] and aiming the shower toward the inside wall. Perfection is not in my vocabulary at 80! Never sweat the small stuff!
I always feel sad when you finish off by saying goodbye. I would love an hour long video. xx
Same
Same here
Me too! I'm always sad when it's over and have to wait for the next one. The house is beautiful!
Husband re-tiled our bathroom. Looked terrific! I was taking a shower and the tiles began to fall off the wall!!! He did not leave enough room between the tiles for the grout. Had to chip it all out and start again. 🙁 BUT, we got nicer tile on sale! Sort of a win.
The simple fact that y’all were able to not open up the bathroom Vanity for so long, tells me that you will make excellent parents! That’s a lot of patience 😁😁.
An accident with good intentions is totally forgivable. Be proud of what you’ve learned along the way. You’ve accomplished so much & the place looks great! Love watching!
If the worst that happens is hazy grout on tiles...
Kitchen looks great. Demand a new refrigerator from the place you purchased it.
Get low backed or no backed barstools. You are getting there 💕
I agree with the fridge comment. 👍
The headaches of applying epoxy grout heavily outweigh it's benefits over just using conventional grout with a sealer.
Bathrooms are the most complicated rooms of modest scale in a home. Feel fulfilled for doing it so well. Great work!
I am so sorry you guys ran into the bathroom ‘issues’ ... we who build our own stuff occasionally have moments like that.... but they don’t last as long as the proud feeling of having done a thing yourself!! Kudos!!
Keep working hard... the house is magnificent!!
That plugged-in Dremmel sitting on the toilet as you were about to test if it would flush was giving me anxiety! The place looks great, don't stress!!
Me too! 😬😬😬
You try so hard Trent..... the tile fits with "A hair out of square"
We all know that you will make it all work in the end....😊
Trent in the grand scheme of life the tiles don’t matter 🥰 You have done a phenomenal job and I’m sure the chemicals will spiffy it up just fine. Just a little extra step 👍🏻 The kitchen is absolutely gorgeous
No worries. I did a similar thing and the epoxy will eventually flake off of the glazed surfaces of the tile. It takes about a year, maybe from heat cycles, but it comes off in thin sheets.
Pal the best designed part of the house is that baby and your beautiful wife...stuff happens buddy( at least your foundation didnt cave in like mine did) you're doing an amazing job. Be proud, we are.
Never be too proud to ask the store to give you a free instruction lesson on how to do things like tile. They explain in simple terms and keep you out of trouble. Because of good teaching from Lowe’s I did a 1700 square space with help from a friend and it looks great many years later. Always read directions first twice.
You’ve done a fantastic job so far. Haste makes waste! Slow down. Step 1-read the directions. Step 2-ask a professional for advise first. The baby will be able to survive living in the trailer for awhile if needs be. You’re in the home stretch. We had to move into the house we built about two weeks before everything was finished (like the floors). We made it work.
Or Allie could live with her Mum and Dad until Trent finishes...
Trent, ever seen the movie "Moonstruck". What is Cher's famous line from that movie? "GET OVER IT". I just wanna smash your little cheeks between my hands and say "get over it". You haven't ruined anything. You are just learning how to do things. Having to make corrections is the way we learn. Your obsession with perfection is going to put you in an early grave. Please stop. Step away for a few moments and take a few deep breaths and appreciate all of the beauty you have surrounding you, including that gorgeous pregnant wife you have.
Y'all need to take a little break and appreciate all of these gifts you are getting each day. It has been like Christmas everyday for a while with all your new goodies you are installing.
Now is the time to have faith and know all is in divine timing. If little man shows up early, not a big deal. He is born of van life parents and wants to live in an RV for a while. A house is a foreign concept to the little guys DNA.
Sometimes the Universe allows curveballs to be thrown to slow us down. Slowing down is a natural progression with finish work. Those details need your special attention. Take the time so you remember and appreciate all of your success. Celebrate the success, take your cues to slow down so that all continues to go well. Snow is showing up so be cautious and take your time when driving and running up and down those steps. We want everyone healthy when the new arrival gets here.
We love you, appreciate you and behold all of the talents that you possess. Be good to yourself, kind to each other and enjoy your journey. I know drama helps the channel, but it hurts my heart to see you so critical. Show me a little love Trent, a few more hugs to Ally and some of your world famous dance moves. I can't believe we did not get one pole dance from you when the scaffolding was still up...lol
Love you all three and pets to the puppies 🐾. ✌️😊
Trent remember this is just your bathroom no one will see it but you guys and it still looks amazing . You need to remember this whole thing was a learning experience and you have done so great if your bathroom is the only big mess up so what relax it will be ok . I feel so bad for your feeling but just breath it will all be ok
Much love Ontario,Canada 💘
Trent, we went thru our trials and tribulations as we were remodeling our house. For every mistake you make, count it as a lesson learned. We love watching you and Allie. ❤️
You’re making a lovely, cozy, safe home for your family; that many memories will be made in.
Quit being so hard on yourself Trent. You’ve built a home all by yourself with Allie and Brandon. It’s beautiful! When we moved in our home in the 70’s we didn’t have floors, water or heat. In the winter no less. But we survived and finished our house. Your bathroom will be fine.
Oh my god! lol!! What are you even talking about? Too funny! Maybe the tile has a different finish. It looks fine. You do have a flare for the dramatic. Congrats on the progress.
It is amazing how Trent's failures still look better than many professionals' work. It does sound like maybe Trent needs a rest, and to rejuvenate that wonderful problem solving brain of his.
Agreed. The proverbial house stress is showing. Too many hard personal time deadlines? Not the best for your health, that new baby coming or a marriage. Slow down, breathe, enjoy your front porch. Sit, read, relax and set down your phone with your to-do lists. #enjoyyourfamily #oldladycomments 😁😏😂
In 18+ years and then…..rest I mean.
You should try using a heat gun on the haze. Epoxy will soften with heat and should be “easily” removed with a razor blade. Avoid heating the grout seams too much.
That's interesting. It also implies their heated floor is going to cause it to break down sooner.
@@elaexplorer Radiant floor heating shouldn’t be hot enough to cause a problem. If it does, they will have bigger problems than hazy grout. 😉
As a subscriber with -0 knowledge about construction, all I see is a modern space to unwind and take unnecessarily long showers with good music. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Loving the vanity 🥰🥰🥰🥰.
Rookie mistakes are part and parcel of building your own house, unfortunately. But you did build a cracking wee house on the mountain. 🐾🐶😍
Back in the day of this greater area, folks in the trades would often collaborate on house builds and major remodels like this for both labor and materials. I knew one guy who came across similar problems on his third, for ever more house, even though he and the folks working with him were well experienced by that time.
OMGosh! Well… just leave it and call it a new “rustic” style. Don’t sweat the small stuff!!
Once you get everything in the bathroom and put a rug down you won't even notice. It's fine.
I looked for this very comment... throw a rug and keep moving!! Ha
I 100% agree! It's not that bad!
LET. IT. GO. TRENT!
Yep we just spent $1000’s to throw a rug on the crap tiling. Oh we are soo happy now
@@Redhotcook thats the risk you take when you diy things. A pro would have known to wipe right away....
@@Redhotcook having a bad day are we? 🤷♀️🤔
Cut yourself some slack Trent, you're tired and hurrying due to baby! You're doing great. Rugs are magic! Love you and Allie and brother to all Brandon!
For someone who has never built a house, Trent you are doing a fantastic job! Keep going guy!
Frank makes such a cute lap dog. Your kitchen island with countertop looks great. Islands are so useful. And your bathroom looks fabulous! With towel bars, mirrors (plural) and a rug it will be perfect. Also the ceiling looks great.
You need to change that outlet behind the toilet to a single and it needs to be GFCI.
The whole installation of the house should be protected by a GFCI/RCD anyway.
It was already inspected. It's fine.
Be gentle with yourselves and each other. The stress is picking up I am sure, but don't let it take you. In the end it will be beautiful and it will be home:) I am so happy for your progress and you should be so proud of yourselves, Brandon too, for all the beautiful work you have accomplished while also building your family.
Try a polishing medium that is fine enough not to scratch, in Europe there is a product CIF that supposed to do that. It’s the fine powder used to polish optical lenses, a sander with cloth to apply it and wear away the crosslinked epoxy.
The only frustrating part of this show is that you can't stop them from making a mistake before it happens. You scream from your seat "NO Dont Do That!" then watch it happen. The fun part is watching their bravery experiencing out-of-control situations that are similar to what we all get into, mistakes and all. I can say I have learned watching them.
Most important is what I take from their show. Not to be afraid, be strong, push on, learn new things. Because of them I have self improved.
What is even more amazing is how the world has a desire to come together offering their suggestions and solutions. I learned in life there is hope. 🙏❤️
Trent & Allie will never know me but they will both be in my heart forever.👍❤️🥰
I was a tile installer that specialized in epoxy grout. It really depends on which brand you buy. In scrubbing off use a 3M white scrubby. Also be aware of the ambient temperature, if it's warm outside you end up having to work faster. When I transitioned into sales, many of my own customers chose epoxy & had no issues. You just need prior education on using the proper equipment. You can purchase a expoxy haze remove & that helps, if it's real stone tiles it can cause damage if you don't follow the instructions.
It’s the perfect “hair out of square” house build I’ve ever seen! ❤️
So you installed anti-slip tile in your bathroom? Sounds like a win to me!
The wife and I went with two small mirrors but later changed to one large mirror that we like much better.The large mirror makes the bathroom feel twice its actual size...
I love that Allie is just content and going with the flow and isn't beating Trent up over the tile mistakes and even with the water leak under the new cink was fine.
Allie your being a hood wife and helping him through the bad times and thats what he needs.
Happy to hear John Scott told you the way to fix the haze you seemed to be a bit more relaxed about it after that Trent.
You two have the worst luck.the dang refrigerator compressor is holding up the show LOL.
It's always something in every house build not just yours.
Yall are doing great and glad yalls parents came to visit. That's nice and they get to see the progress that's been made on the home.and that's alot since they all seen it in person last or atleast Allies parents.
Be safe and God bless you all
I didn’t think the tiles looked ruined! But, I’m really sorry that happened! I’m sure after a month or two of wear & tear & all that extra stuff will come off! Great job Trent & Allie! Allie, you look so amazing! Way to go taking care of yourself & the baby! You are one beautiful lady!🙏🏼💙🕊🎉😎👍🏼 God bless you all!!🙏🏼🕊💙
You are to hard on yourself, you are doing an amazing construction.
I think you’re being horrible on yourselves you did something the rest of us are not doing died at 58 years old I have learned that sometimes you just can’t be hard on yourself. Trent and Allie being tough on yourself sometimes makes it all because it makes you worry because it’s gray hair
Ian you’re supposed to say let’s go Brandon
@@raymonddriggers 😂🤣😂🤣
Think of the tile as "non slip " .lol
I made that mistake once but with a sharp putty knife and a lot of scraping I did eventually got it all off. So with dedication it can be done. Don't give up! The vanity is beautiful!
Youll have lots of chuckles down the road, your brave for doing it all, GOOD FOR YOU!
An old plumbers trick is to rub vaseline on the rubber seal gasket before you install the toilet. It helps prolong the life of the rubber. Most water lines come in a variety of lengths. Also, don't forget to silicone the pipe where the water line comes out of the wall. Then slide on the escutcheon plate before you attach the valve for the toilet supply line to go on to.
Your home is looking just fine, don't be so hard on yourself Trent.
How many people could do what you’ve done? Imperfections are not the end of the world by any means. I can imagine how disheartening it is to face them after all your hard work but you have created a live-able, beautiful space. Congratulations!🎉
Trent, as you know you are stressed and that's when mistakes are made,
don't be so hard on yourself and try to appreciate all of your hard work.
On the bright side your bathroom will never leak💯 live with it and in a few years have someone do it over☀️ it works❣️❣️❣️
You forgot the white base gasket that the brass bolt threads thru. That goes on first. The important thing to remember is don't over-tighten the flange bolts and tighten one full turn on the left then one full turn on the right. Back and forth till snug. Not tight. When you caulk around the base of the toilet leave a section as wide as your thumb open in the back. I squirt in some line chalk so if leaks ever occur they are more noticeable. Don't worry we have all done the 'squash the wax doughnut badly once or twice and I'm sure forgetting the flange cover was a new one. I just stuff a rag in there. Now she gets to pick out the spray for poop and fart smell that will live near the toilet. You could also just have a box of matches too as an alternative.
