floor vent redirect : even though it looked like you used heavy duty tape to hold it down, if in the future, the floor is flooded for some reason the tape may get wet and unstick from the floor so, maybe staple the tape in several places to hold it down so that in the future you won't start air conditioning the bottom of the cabinets!
You must be so proud. Incredible how you've built this kitchen so far. Imagine visitors complimenting you on your new house and beautiful kitchen and you will say: 'I did it completely myself '. Love from Germany
Soooo dang proud of you, Casey. It’s really not that different from sewing, is it? It’s all construction…the fitting and finishing takes the longest. Great idea to start a home channel, I’m coming along for the ride. 😊❤
I have enjoyed every minute of the house reno! My hubby and I do not work together well and would have probably filed for divorce after the first week! You two are doing a beautiful job!
I hope you’re settling in your new home in areas already done and taking care of yourselves in the meantime… taking time to rest and heal when you need to. You’re lifting some heavy weight from awkward positions. I am sure you’re looking forward to the day when you get to live in and use your newly renovated kitchen and not just build it! You’re doing an amazing job, and I am impressed with the collection of power tools! 👍🏻
In some ways, building the cabinets boxes seems like the easy part. Because then comes installation, cauling, painting, drilling for hardware. Oh, and building drawers. But one step at a time will get there. Pretty creative solution to build taller trim on the top of the upper cabinets in order to add trim later. Look forward to the rest of the kitchen series.
You are so inspiring! I love the air duct solution. However, I might think about trying to have an access point in the bottom of cabinet in case you ever have to replace that plastic. If that vent blows heat as well as A/C, it could eventually degrade since your are basically enclosing it. Maybe not for a long time though. Just a thought...someone else may have mentioned it. Either way, Girl Power!!! You rock!
I am enjoying this venture of building cabinetry, I love the way your husband just saunders into the room and just does what you tell him. You are so talented and what a process to take on!! Love the channel , it is so relaxing to watch, thanks for your time!!❤
Very happy to have two channels from you. The kitchen is coming together so nicely! I know this has been a lot of hard work for you but I find your channel(s) so cozy and I always feel more relaxed and motivated after watching one of your videos. Looking forward to all your content!
If its any consolation, I have heard professional cabinet makers say the only way to do inset cabinets is to build and cut them slightly large and then scribe each one into its spot, so it seems you're following a tried and true method to fit those uppers into not square space.
When we first moved out to the country we were surprised at all of the different animal sounds we heard. From lowing cows, braying donkeys, migrating ducks, frogs, and my favorite: the barred owl. We had a friend stay the night and he said he couldn't sleep with all the animal noises because he was used to all the city noises.
I have a toe kick vent in my kitchen, right in front of the sink. When the heat kicks on in the winter, it blows cold air out onto my feet. I asked the furnace repairman about it. He said that there's usually no vent pipe from the floor to the toe kick vent. The cabinet bottom is enclosed so it functions as a duct. But the cold air under the cabinet is forced out first before the heat hits. Sewing fan but I like the new channel too. Hubs and I did the same 20 years ago.
You are probably finished drilling the holes for the shelves but maybe you needed a sharper drill bit or something. Oh well great job. I was missing your updates. Subscribed to the new channel!
My upper and lower cabinets don't line up either, and they were done by a professional. I wouldn't have even noticed yours didn't line up. You both are doing a great job. I love seeing the progress. ❤
Your dedication and perseverance is so inspiring! I'm a lifelong sewist, but I would have loved to learn carpentry and I am quite interested in the process. You power through the challenges and have a great sense of what is the right path to work out of those challenges. Love your channels!
Glad you created a new channel. I subscribed! I was hesitant to subscribe on the other channel as I'm not that interested in patterns and if I subscribed, YT would think I was and show me a bunch of sewing videos. Might want to upload all your home reno vids here as well so you can have a playlist on THIS channel that starts from the beginning for newbies. Great job on the cabinets!
That's really helpful to know! I could tell that the folks who were watching the videos were really excited about them, but I think it did kind of alienate the people that just wanted sewing content. So hopefully this helps! Thanks for coming over here! :)
It’s coming together! This is going to sound so dumb, but I actually love your little dowel-filled shelf peg holes. They almost look like a decorative feature. And that’s so smart to make two access spaces for the oven plug!
I'm really excited about this new channel. I've really enjoyed following along this journey with you. It's very inspiring! Watching you use those power tools makes me less afraid to try.
Hi, So I found your everything home and interior improvement Chanel. I'm still in awe of all the things you do that look very easy for you. When you're done with your house, can you come to our home and make it nice? Only if you feel like it, of course Where did you get that knowledge of being competent enough to do all these things. Drilling the right length of something, calculating something in the knowledge that you will finnish, and not throwing something hard at a dumb thing that you made, that the cooker will fit the gap between those two cabinets you just made... I can go on. It's fascinating. About the turkeys. You could have Thanksgiving dinner, if they are bothering you😉🙂😎☺. Or you can have Thanksgiving and tell everybody and make it vegetarian in liù of your next doors neighbours What miracles will you come up with next, I wonder? Yours, Ann
Oh man, this house is wearing me out lol! I have just enough ignorance to think I can do a lot of things, so I just go for it 🤣 and just enough stamina and persistence to see it through to the end!
How does your fur baby like his backyard? The ceiling is going up. I can see in the video. In the video from right to left it leans upward. You won't have to go to the grocery store for Thanksgiving dinner. When I subscribed just a couple of hours ago you had 869 subscribers. You are at over 1100 now!!
Congratulations on your new dedicated home renovation channel! Your energy level is amazing! Just returned from family vacation, so I down for a quick breakfast while unpacking/doing laundry and there you were.😂 The “not square” issue you’re having is probably pretty typical in old homes. The foundations and wall materials have settled and contracted/expanded during various weather conditions over the years and were originally manufactured/man made, so it’s probably to be expected? Also, the earth beneath the foundation itself shifts, though we’re usually unaware. 😊
What you did to separate you refrigerator from the stove is a great idea. We did this in a new apartment and the refrigerator works better. Greetings from Switzerland
Just a bit worried that you could get mold under the cabinet with the wood subfloor acting as the side of the air vent. Wood and moisture = mold. Perhaps lay your metal ducting down flat to protect the wood, then lay the plastic over top, and tape.
I had a mouse problem after we moved into my dad’s house on six acres. I worked with a exterminating company at my job, and the guy asked me, do you live in a field? I said well, basically I live IN a field. He said, then you’re going to have mice. Country living!
when you get the dishwasher and all the things that will be symmetric with the trim etc. and counter top you won't even see the difference...you picked the most important things to have aligned....
You go!! Question: What tool did you use to trim your expanding foam flat against the wall?? I have been hardening our home after we had an energy audit done, and have used some of the expanding foam to seal off big gaps that were major air leaks. I was using a hack saw blade because they are thin, but I have to bend it to avoid scraping my knuckles, so it doesn't look great...yours looks perfectly flat. I need to go back over mine with whatever cutting tool you used!
I used a mini hack saw, but I really wish I had one of those Japanese hand saws that can saw flat, because I had the same issue. Everywhere I've used it so far will be covered with trim, thankfully!
@PatternScoutHome Thanks for the input! My area is between avertical wall and brick fireplace (so fun). I may seek out that Japanese hand saw! 🙌 You are doing GREAT. I sometimes have to tell myself to just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...
When I saw them painted...I said awwwee!! Because it's so nice!!
Please consider hardwiring the light. NOW IS the Time!!!
I am loving this so much!!

Great job. Love seeing you and Mr. PS-H work together. So adorable. And, yes, his asking, what’s for dinner, was a hoot!
I always know that question is looming! 🤣
Great idea to have a dedicated channel. Loving your progress, Casey, it's going to look amazing 🤩
Thank you for coming over! :)
I love your small blower. After seeing yours I decided I also need a small one.
Really love this series! I’m more likely to sew than do woodworking but it’s so much fun to watch your progress. I’m subscribed to both channels!
Looks fantastic! I don't think you'll notice that it doesn't line up exactly once the countertop is on. You are doing an awesome job! Big Hugs
So true! That's one of those things that no one else will probably even notice (unless I point it out, like I did, lol). ;)
No problems only solutions!!
Your awesome!!
Soooo dang proud of you, Casey. It’s really not that different from sewing, is it? It’s all construction…the fitting and finishing takes the longest. Great idea to start a home channel, I’m coming along for the ride. 😊❤
Thank you!! It is similar in a lot of ways to sewing...measuring, fitting, exactly! 😅
Really excited to see what colours you will use. Loving seeing everything progress. You’re a real talent ❤
I actually just painted the cabinets a few days ago and decided to be a little bold. :) Excited to share that in the coming weeks!
I have enjoyed every minute of the house reno!
My hubby and I do not work together well and would have probably filed for divorce after the first week! You two are doing a beautiful job!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Haha, I think we are opposite enough in all the right ways that we manage to team up well on these projects!

You are SO right! All the fine tuning is what gets challenging!

I'm so glad it's relaxing to watch!
I was holding my breath watching you drill towards your hands! Really enjoy watching you!
I thought I was the only one!
Very happy to have two channels from you. The kitchen is coming together so nicely! I know this has been a lot of hard work for you but I find your channel(s) so cozy and I always feel more relaxed and motivated after watching one of your videos. Looking forward to all your content!
Ah that is so nice to hear! Thank you!

That's good to know! Next time, I will be better prepared because that was a little stressful! haha
When we first moved out to the country we were surprised at all of the different animal sounds we heard. From lowing cows, braying donkeys, migrating ducks, frogs, and my favorite: the barred owl. We had a friend stay the night and he said he couldn't sleep with all the animal noises because he was used to all the city noises.
So many animal noises (at first, I thought the frogs were raccoons lol). And those cranes sound other-worldly!
I understand your wariness about turkeys. They're mean and territorial.
My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I've seen the viral videos! 😅

I really like that you share the struggles along the way and the fix. Your kitchen is looking awesome!
You are probably finished drilling the holes for the shelves but maybe you needed a sharper drill bit or something. Oh well great job. I was missing your updates. Subscribed to the new channel!
I think you are right! It was a brand new bit, but I probably needed a nicer one. Thanks for subscribing! :)
Oh man was I happy for you when you thot of the brilliant idea with undercupboard vent👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great work. My husband is a cabinet maker and you are doing a great job. Very impressive.
Ah, thanks for saying that! :)
13:58 I love the hubby's lumberjack with crocs look haha!
He brings the style for sure! ;)
i had been waiting for you ......i hope you will do even more diy after you finish your house...
Definitely! I have so many ideas for projects!
My upper and lower cabinets don't line up either, and they were done by a professional. I wouldn't have even noticed yours didn't line up. You both are doing a great job. I love seeing the progress. ❤
I've been looking forward to this video!
So glad to know it! You're the first comment on the new channel (thanks)! 🎉🙌

@@PatternScoutHome the separate channel will help YT recommend the right videos to the right audiences, so it's a win-win 😃
I'm here for your reno..your doing a great job..
Yay amongst the first 500! Pattern buyer and avid sewing content watcher. So happy to see you doing well and powering through this beautiful home. ❤
Thanks so much for following me over here (and over there!)! :)
Im all in!
Brilliant stove plug fix.🤓
It’s coming together! This is going to sound so dumb, but I actually love your little dowel-filled shelf peg holes. They almost look like a decorative feature. And that’s so smart to make two access spaces for the oven plug!
I love those, too! It worked so well to do that, and was very satisfying!
I'm really excited about this new channel. I've really enjoyed following along this journey with you. It's very inspiring! Watching you use those power tools makes me less afraid to try.
Thank you so much!
So excited for you and the new channel, you now have both my favorite hobbies!! ❤
Nice! Thank you so much!

❤ the funny spots! 😂😂😂 and great job on the cabs.
Regarding your redirect of the air vent I worry about rodents trying to get in when it gets cold as they will chew through plastic
How does your fur baby like his backyard?
The ceiling is going up. I can see in the video. In the video from right to left it leans upward.
You won't have to go to the grocery store for Thanksgiving dinner.
When I subscribed just a couple of hours ago you had 869 subscribers. You are at over 1100 now!!
Oh, he is definitely enjoying sitting/napping outside! He's not a super active dog, never roams too far. I think he likes being wherever we are! :)

Yes, everything is just a little crooked for sure! 😅
Casey you are brilliant! My hero☺️
You’ve done so much and it’s looking really good so far! 😎👍❤
Im really enjoying this channel! Its a little like sewing: you're measuring and cutting!
I'm so glad! You're right, so similar! I think that's why I'm enjoying it so much!
Husband makes me think Colon Firth. Handsome!
Haha, he is a cutie!
You are very inspiring!
What you did to separate you refrigerator from the stove is a great idea. We did this in a new apartment and the refrigerator works better. Greetings from Switzerland
Nice fix with the dowel plugs! And Huxley mean muggin was cute!
He's like a cat...doesn't come when you call him, just kinda does his own thang! 😄
I have been waiting what seems like ages for this update! Looking great.
Just a bit worried that you could get mold under the cabinet with the wood subfloor acting as the side of the air vent. Wood and moisture = mold. Perhaps lay your metal ducting down flat to protect the wood, then lay the plastic over top, and tape.
Did you save money making your own cabinets instead of buying them? Amazing work!
Love watching your new home come together! I am subscribed to both channels and always watch your videos as soon as they are available.
You need a belt like your husband. The cabinets look great. CONGRATULATIONS
It's looking incredible!
I had a mouse problem after we moved into my dad’s house on six acres. I worked with a exterminating company at my job, and the guy asked me, do you live in a field? I said well, basically I live IN a field. He said, then you’re going to have mice. Country living!
Indeed! It is to be expected, and we have definitely seen much more wildlife out here!
when you get the dishwasher and all the things that will be symmetric with the trim etc. and counter top you won't even see the difference...you picked the most important things to have aligned....
I’m surprised you didn’t make a bottom corner cabinet so the space isn’t wasted.
I kind of loathe those corner cabinets 😬 Hard to clean and stuff always gets lost back there, so it was intentional! ;)
Mine has a turntable in it-I love it!
Vote 💙

Yes you should have drilled through a thin layer of wood.
You might want to check on code in your area. Have an outlet behind a cabinet in my area is a code violation.
Soooo many steps involved with building, finishing, hanging kitchen cabinets. Yikes.
Definitely! Feels like a never-ending project! :)
No prizes for second comment! 😂
Everybody gets a prize for comments today! 🤣 Thanks!! :)
Great video, but please change the music. It is too repetitive.
I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Great work. You’re a trooper.
