Absolutely the right call to remove that gray tile!! You could totally tell it was not the same color and it would've bothered you two if you left it! You two are workhorses!!! Perfect color choices-they're going to make your house POP!
I hope you consider keeping the frig facing the kitchen and creating a wall of sorts with it between the dining and cooking areas. It looked out of place where was facing the middle of the house. It will be more efficient for you when you cook to not have to go into another room to open the frig away from the counters and carry food across the floor. The floor in front of my frig always gets dripped on. I vote for the pad type mop. String mops are always damp and smelly. Lots of bacteria lurking and ready to get spread back on the floor. String mops are only good for swabbing the decks of ships and warehouses. Carrot top pesto, schmecks gut! Alles gute.
I love Freddie’s vibe and everything she brings to your life Rodrigo and Rodger she is helping to make a house a real home for all of you and the animals❤
my uncle is a journeyman tile setter and i was his helper for a bit after high school. pretty good for figuring it out my guy. remember if you are looking for a good natural cleaner for tile then a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water will clean your floors great. it will smell a little funny lol but youll also never risk your grout changing colors because of cleaning solutions and chemicals. ps imagine an extended porch of your back door large enough for seating with a built in stone fire pit and a custom brick grill lol then underneath that build your own enclosed shop for working
I'm going with Freddie on the mop for the win. String mops stink terribly if not washed properly and are hard to wring out and dry. I love the color you choose for the outside of the house. So happy for you guys that you almost have all the tiling done. Whoop whoop.
Rod, your mom is going to be so proud of you when she sees your home and finds out that you built it yourself. I can’t wait until the house is finished and you get to bring her to your home.
Hello Rodrigo and Freddie! Just a short note to tell you how nice your house is looking! Wow! Looks so cozy! All that work will pay off...one day, you will be able to relax and just enjoy all the hard work that you put in it. The two of you make a great team. You work well together and get things done! You are both such wonderful people! Rodrigo, you are a real cutie pie, so handsome....and Freddie, you are stunningly beautiful....those eyes!!! And you both have such fun and uplifting personalities. Always makes me happy to watch your videos. Oh, and I also love Roger, all the dogs, goats, cow, chickens, etc. I am so happy that they have such a great home , with people that love them all and treat them so well. Keep up the good work on your house and making the wonderful videos! Sending you both big HUGS and to all the animals too! Thank you for sharing some of your life with us! Take good care and see ya on the next video! Nat ( Ontario, Canada)
The Madagascar color looks great for the outside guys. Also, please don’t ever paint the lovely wall in your dining room area. I think that the beautiful golden honey color natural wood your plywood turned out after you sealed it looks absolutely amazing and it matches the other natural wood color of your walls. If you must paint a wall go with soft pastel colors and not terribly drastic bright colors, and in,y pain the walls that are drywall and not natural wood. Remember that you can always accessorize walls with pictures or mirrors that can make it pop. I think that your place is looking absolutely amazing. The idea of adding an extended deck patio would be great too. Maybe even put in a relaxing hot tub, but I’m not too sure that it won’t consume too much electricity. Yes the tile was a different color so it’s good that you replaced it. Hope to hear back from you crazy kids again soon. Your videos always make my day!!
I agree: don't paint the wall. Build a picture frame for a mirror and paint the frame in Madagascar. &/or Have the tabletop in Madagascar or the bathroom door. Just not the wall. Place beautiful art up. Make the Art-press flowers or driftwood. I love your videos. You are both so sweaty to each other!
Water with vinegar is all that is needed to mop. I found out the hard way that soaps, cleaners, and cleaning mops like swifter products only build up crud in the grout. To keep the grout clean be sure to apply a grout sealer and only use vinegar and water to clean. After 3 years I still have absolutely no build-up in the grout.
The tile floors look great! I think the forest green for the walls is going to clash with the teal refrigerator. Hold the sample up next to the fridge and see how you like it before you paint the wall.
❤️ Good job ❤️ Remember that it wasn't so long ago that you were living in a tree house out in the jungle. You have come so far and accomplished so much, I'm proud of you! Best wishes from Arizona, USA.
Love Freddie's good morning in the morning, 🌄, Freddie learning to have a green thumb, that's learning how to take care of the garden. Great job Freddie.
Keep in mind dark colors inside will make the house look smaller. Maybe just an accent wall and not too dark, just an opinion. Your house is looking beautiful!
@@MIA-lu6pp I personally love that teal/blue for the dining wall. Although “they” do say an orange shade is good in the dining area because it induces an appetite.
I think during modern times we are too careful with colours and end up just making everything white. It can make it smaller but it's not always true, depends on how you do it!
yes a shout out for your tile friends ,,,they have worked on lolas farm for years,,, i cant spell there names but try by Enriqe and Enbertho .. and djungel boy is starting to get chubby and cute..ha ha what is Freddy feeding you...?
They say: Behind every project, success is a Lady Behind her Man (And Rodger the cat. Is the supervisor). Your house is becoming Your Home. Team work 💪 🙌 👏 Bravo. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦.
As Panamanian born in David and my wife with German roots I can relate with comparing mops. I prefer string mops and she prefers the pad mops. 😊 we have that in common.
I found the rope mops are harder to clean, and when it's put outside to dry, it seems to attract bugs. So Freddie, I agree with you on your choice of mops. You go, girl!
The reason your Grout work was not as nice is you never wet wiped it after applying the Grout, apply Grout and wipe with damp sponge util the haze forms the wipe away again with damp sponge to shine it up.
I'm so proud of you all for doing an amazing job on the tiling! It's so beautiful and makes everything so bigger! Loved seeing you both dancing on the finished product! As should be🎉❤❤🎉. The older grout you did, should still be able to be sponged off the tiles?? I love the Madagascar house color, and the teal accent wall! You two and your choices for these finishing touches is so wonderful to see! I even am excited about your mop😂❤❤, Love you both! Thank you for sharing!
My mop is flat, folds together to squeeze out the water from the foam and cloth pad that sticks on the bottom. I love it because you don't need to keep rinsing the mop in dirty water. It works very well. The pad can be thrown in the washing machine afterwards. I have tried many mops and this one is my favorite. The exterior color you are choosing looks very nice! I'm glad you are not changing the roof color! The tiling is making a huge difference! Wow! Love it! I hope the color you want to put on the dining room accent wall turns out as you hope. It is very dark! On camera, it may not look the same as in person, of course. I love the color of your fridge, so personally- I would choose a color almost the same. But it's your house... if you love it then I'm sure it will be perfect. It is always easy to repaint if you don't like it anyway! You are doing a wonderful job a project at a time! Hopefully you will finish the rest of the tiling by the door and laundry room soon. You will feel great to have that whole level done with flooring! Then maybe go do something fun for a few days? Looking forward to next video! ❤️❤️
PLEASE PLEASE no dark colors inside. It will make the appearance of your room small. Especially don’t paint the dining room wall turquoise or that awful green! Save those colors for clothing not inside your house! The tile looks good, glad you replaced the darker colored one! The grout looks awesome since the boys helped you this time! 👍👏👍👏
Love the fridge in the kitchen! We have tile floors and we have a few “hollow” sounding tiles 😳 Good thing that you removed that rogue tile. I use a steam cleaning mop on my tile floor. It’s light weight and does a wonderful job 😊 A rubber mat for the kitchen will definitely save the tiles from breaking when you drop something. Your floor is beautiful!
Yes! A rubber mat is important, especially between the dishwasher and where you put your dishes away. I have a cracked tile that drives me nuts. It's always good to keep a few extra for replacements.
What a complete difference this has made to your house.Its brought so much light into the rooms and tied them all together.Moving the odd tile was right as it would have always got on your nerves.Its like having patterned tiles and finding one upside down.Your eyes always fo straight to it as you know it’s there.i know as we did it once lol!.great job Kids and it will be so much easier to keep clean too.Sending Love to you both 🥰
I'm so glad to see you're going with the blue for your accent wall. Many people forget that people in other cultures love and add colors in their homes. With you having a blue roof outside, it's fitting and connecting the outside of your house to the inside. Once again, love the blue, your home isn't in the cookie cutter colors of the USA, be original & add the blue color that makes you happy💙
European mop for sure. That’s the type I use. String mops are too messy for me. Love all you are doing and your color choices are perfect. I would check the forest color next to your frig. Color to make sure they compliment each other. Love your carrots! And the tile floors look absolutely stunning!!! Gorgeous! And your happiness and gratitude is so contagious. Thank you for starting my day with pure joy!
I use in the USA a mop called O Cedar with a ringer bucket and water reservoir on the otherside. It's the best for in home. Just make sure you pull away from wall (baseboards). The mop heads come off for washing in a washer. You won't be disappointed. You all work so well together, what a blessing to have friends like them. ROBERTO and RICO are the bomb!!!❤
I had to pause the video and it was 24:06-24:08 when I went to hit play I saw this picture of Rodrigo looking at his sweetheart...The look on his Face is the Sweetest most Loving thing I've seen...I wish you guys would go back and see the Love you have for each other! I would keep a photo of that....🥰
When you're cutting the tile, you should pour water on the tile, and the blade will last longer, plus you'll have a lesser chance of breaking the tile. I use a steam mop on my tile. ❤❤
Here in Paraguay, and most of South America, we use a mop towel draped over a squeegee to mop. Most floors are tile or cement. I like the fact that I can change my “mop rags” frequently as I mop. I then wash them all and use again.
Great Color Choices! Can’t wait to see the finish product. The tile looks so nice. This A frame home is coming to a nice home sweet home. ** I have an Idea for your fridge. It’s just an idea, use it or don’t. Build a cubical for the fridge (like a cabinet) and a shelf above, then behind the cubical build an attached closet for brooms, vacuums, etc to store. I love what you guys are doing for the A Frame home. Great job guys!!
The house looks absolutely fabulous. Wow! Congratulations. Soccer is big in Europe. The first-ever soccer match was played on Barnes common at Mortlake, London on December 19, 1863 between Barnes Football and Richmond Football Clubs. I was a fan until corruption ruined it for me. As in politics, the winners are chosen before the game is played, as demonstrated in games played in Argentina (w/Netherlands, for example).
I usually watch on my TV but I had to jump on my phone to comment about the tile. I LOVE IT!!!! I wasn't sure, when you started, how it would look but it is so great
While I realize you have pets, I would try to have a no shoes policy in your house. There's not a week that goes by that I'm not irritated that I picked out white tile because every little thing shows up. Drives me nuts. Your tile looks lovely!
Freddie the mop you bought is really good for dust mopping instead of sweeping. And damp mopping. But the other string for heavy cleaning. A house keeper told me to vacuum so the grout gets cleaner. The dust settles in the grout.
Oberto & Enrique r the best! Their craftmanship is superb. I'm so glad u removed that tile. It definitely wasn't the same color. Will u guys eventually build a deck/porch on the outside of ur kitchen door? Think it would look awesome. Could add more string lights. Hope u two have a wonderful week. ❤ & God bless
Over here in Louisiana we use different kinds of mops but I was raised on the string mop! Enjoy mopping Freddie! Love yall and house is looking so fantastic with all of yall hard work! Congrats’ ❤👋 Ps love the matching shirts ♥️
I use the same kind of mop for my floors! I got a couple of micro cloth pads for it so that I can just throw it in the wash. Also put my cleaner in a spray bottle and dilute it so that I don't have to rinse it. They simply spray a section and mop with a wet mop. Works great!
Please! Dont paint that beautiful wood! Use your favorite color for accents like rugs, throw pillows, etc... Trust me, you will get tired of that color. Stay on course with neutral colors and go crazy with your accessories. You are doing an amazing job! Im so proud of you both. 2 such beautiful people! I cant wait to see what your baby looks like! ❤😊
Hey guys. The carrot "tops" or the greens. I've learned since I've been gardening that the carrots will only grow as deep as the garden soil is. I hope that makes sense. Because I live near the beach in New Jersey, we have sand and a lot of stones, so my carrots were very short. Now I've built up the garden beds and even have bigger humps the carrots grow in. They are a little longer now. I have a question, why is the piece of roofing metal lying in the back of your property? Is it a home for little animals or reptiles? Watch when you move it. 🤣😉 You 2 are doing so well. I love the colors you've picked for inside and out. You definitely need color to make it your space. The cotton rope mop works with a bucket of water, then you have to wring it out with your hands. Too much work. Freddie picked the right mop. A Swiffer (brand name) has a whole system of cleaning tools. Check it out, maybe on Amazon, or ask Jord and Kailie to bring it back from the States. 🤣😂 Thank you Roberto and Enrique for the great job. Hugs guys
Hi. I use a "wet mop" to clean the floor, and a dry mop (like your long mop) to go over the clean dry floor to get rid of any water marks and it gives a nice finish. The tiling is looking beautiful. 💐
That tile is a different color! Yes, factory mistake! Good thing to remove it from the middle of your floor! The floor is beautiful and the home looks gorgeous!!😊❤
Teamwork makes the dream work! Looking good! 😍👍👍 Rodger: "Don't stop Rodrigo, I'm having fun drag me anywhere you're my new Uber driver!" Stay safe and see on the next one.
Grout haze cleaner to remove the dried on haze on the tiles that didn't get cleaned in that section that you did by the stairs. It's a lot more work if not done right away like the guys did with helping you this time. Looks great keep up the great work and learning as you go!
you put an old towel over a broom (cut a round hole to fit through handle ) and throw it in the washer then spinner. 2 tank washer is ideal. toss the american mop & american washer. use mortar not grout (grout will disolve and disappear)
So glad you replaced the grey tile! You guys are "knocking it out of the park" (a baseball term, in case you don't follow that sport Freddie)! Congratulations on your new baby - carrots. Vegetable greens are so nutritious, I love them in smoothies! See you next time. ❤🙏🏻
In Costa Rica, most people use a mop that has nothing attached at the bottom but there's a clip to hold a dish towel. I find them difficult to rinse and wring out. The best mop I've found is a spin mop. They sell them at Pricesmart and EPA (if you have it.) At Pricesmart, it's called Kodiak Bucket and Mop with Spinning Wringing - Trapero y Balde con Escurridor Giratorio. I have a different brand but I think they're all the same.
Haha Freddie I use an O-cedar mop it has the long strings but they are a shorter version and it comes with a bucket that spins it out. And you can pull them off to toss in the wash.
Wow, it keeps transforming so beautifully. Guys, youre doing great. Consider painting the wall next, it will pop with tiles. Gods Blessings for both, keep up the good work.
I love my Dupray steam cleaner - has diff attachments so you can clean everything with no chemicals and kills mold and cleans dust from the air etc… use microfiber cloths with it with white vinegar and cat friendly essential oils. The BONA mop system w duster & cleaning cloths super good for in between steam cleaning. Love you two!
Onions and beets like sandy soils. You need to create a special bed in the greenhouse just for crops that like to grow in that soil type then make a special soil mix to fill that bed with. It needs to be deep enough and the moisture level of the soil needs to be just right so they do not rot. You can grow other root vegetables in that area as well, carrots, turnips, potatoes, etc.
We love Enrique and Eberto....hope I spelled their names right...So nice to see them up close and having fun...the inside is absolutely stunning...you guys are Awesome...hope you finish one day and just relax in your beautiful home!! It's totally Grey!!
Can't wait until you guys finish the first floor and begin the second floor, I hope your bedroom will be on the second floor, maybe if you have room a third floor loft would be nice and use for storage, you must think ahead for storage space.
Nice of yall to take your time to get the floor correct. I would’ve went with a more beige color like Freddie suggested but dark green would not only match the roof it would have attracted heat.
Spin mop! O-Cedar brand. I also have a Haan steam mop, but you need to put however many pads you use in the washing machine. And I've had a million different mops so I would go with the spin mop for the centrifugal force to get extra water out of mop. The replaceable mop heads for spin mops are made of string.
Same. 72 years old. I've used many different mops and mopped on hands and knees. (Dutch-German heritage) Spin mop was a game changer for this G-ma!!! Best ever.
Tiles are looking really nice. We have both types of mops. Use each one for a different task. The one with the long strings you have to use a wringer to get the excess water out,but it mops a bigger area. Like the outside color choice.
I dont't knkw about Panama, but in the US, you can buy small sample bottles of paint. Roll them on the wall, look at it in different lighting and times of day. Helps deciding if you have this bigger sample to see.
I'm living in Estonia and over here I see both version but the "hairy" mops are quite common, usually combined with a bucket that has some sort of mash on top to easily press the mop into to squeeze the water out. The one I have at home is actually from, I assume, a German brand: Vileda.
Oooh Myyyy God, the floor looks so beautiful, what a change, Great job guys, I have to say that when this Aframe home is finished it's going to look so beautiful, keep up the amazing work guys, I love it, love it , love it.
Rodrigo we need to get you watching American football. There are so many teams to choose from you would like it. As for the carrots they are the best right from the garden or refrigerator if you’d like them chilled. I like growing my own carrots because you just scrub them down and eat no need to peel them.
Love you two. Such a lovely couple and you work so well together. Glad to see the guys helping you out and their grout experience is great. Three days but it is really looking like a home. Can't wait to see the finished product and you guys relaxing watching a movie or having guests over for dinner. WooHoo! Until the next time be safe and prosper.
Freddie the green parts of the carrots are called carrot tops. I’ve made lots of carrot top pesto too, which my family love with pasta. Add a bit of Parmesan too and it’s delicious. Plus, if you made a bulk batch it freezes well too.
Rodrigo! you found the treasure when you found Freddie she is such a lovely person. 😍👍
Freddie found her treasure in Rodrigo!
Yes, Rodrigo and Freddie make a great couple..so happy for them...and when is the marriage?

One secret I have learned from years of laying tiles-when press tile down to set it, wiggle it to get mud to spread. Works like a charm.

Clean floors are one of the best feelings, kinda like fresh clean sheets! 😊
I found the rope mops are harder to clean, and when it's put outside to dry, it seems to attract bugs. So Freddie, I agree with you on your choice of mops. You go, girl!
There is a pad mop called Bona that comes with a small water container, and it’s refillable, so you spray and mop, so easy!
Freddie, the ‘normal’ way to say it is, the carrots are going to stay in the ground. I love stay in the earth! So much better!
@Dafjungleboy I don’t know how to do that?

Love your carrots! And the tile floors look absolutely stunning!!! Gorgeous! And your happiness and gratitude is so contagious. Thank you for starting my day with pure joy!
I use in the USA a mop called O Cedar with a ringer bucket and water reservoir on the otherside. It's the best for in home. Just make sure you pull away from wall (baseboards). The mop heads come off for washing in a washer. You won't be disappointed. You all work so well together, what a blessing to have friends like them. ROBERTO and RICO are the bomb!!!❤
Looking so awesome. Glad the boys could help. They did a great job.
I agree that tile did look a little darker in color than the rest.
I had to pause the video and it was 24:06-24:08 when I went to hit play I saw this picture of Rodrigo looking at his sweetheart...The look on his Face is the Sweetest most Loving thing I've seen...I wish you guys would go back and see the Love you have for each other! I would keep a photo of that....🥰
When you're cutting the tile, you
should pour water on the tile, and the blade will last longer, plus you'll have a lesser chance of breaking the tile.
I use a steam mop on my tile. ❤❤
Here in Paraguay, and most of South America, we use a mop towel draped over a squeegee to mop. Most floors are tile or cement. I like the fact that I can change my “mop rags” frequently as I mop. I then wash them all and use again.
Great Color Choices! Can’t wait to see the finish product. The tile looks so nice. This A frame home is coming to a nice home sweet home. ** I have an Idea for your fridge. It’s just an idea, use it or don’t. Build a cubical for the fridge (like a cabinet) and a shelf above, then behind the cubical build an attached closet for brooms, vacuums, etc to store. I love what you guys are doing for the A Frame home. Great job guys!!
I use an electric streamer. It cleans grout well. Freddie, yours is for a quick wipe.
Madagascar!😊
The house looks absolutely fabulous. Wow! Congratulations. Soccer is big in Europe. The first-ever soccer match was played on Barnes common at Mortlake, London on December 19, 1863 between Barnes Football and Richmond Football Clubs. I was a fan until corruption ruined it for me. As in politics, the winners are chosen before the game is played, as demonstrated in games played in Argentina (w/Netherlands, for example).
I usually watch on my TV but I had to jump on my phone to comment about the tile. I LOVE IT!!!! I wasn't sure, when you started, how it would look but it is so great
While I realize you have pets, I would try to have a no shoes policy in your house. There's not a week that goes by that I'm not irritated that I picked out white tile because every little thing shows up. Drives me nuts. Your tile looks lovely!
Freddie the mop you bought is really good for dust mopping instead of sweeping. And damp mopping. But the other string for heavy cleaning. A house keeper told me to vacuum so the grout gets cleaner. The dust settles in the grout.
It's looking beautiful! I never expected such a modern look in the jungle! I love it!
Oberto & Enrique r the best! Their craftmanship is superb. I'm so glad u removed that tile. It definitely wasn't the same color. Will u guys eventually build a deck/porch on the outside of ur kitchen door? Think it would look awesome. Could add more string lights. Hope u two have a wonderful week. ❤ & God bless
72 yrs old. Old fashion. String mop. Grew up New York. But live in California since 81.
Over here in Louisiana we use different kinds of mops but I was raised on the string mop!
Enjoy mopping Freddie! Love yall and house is looking so fantastic with all of yall hard work! Congrats’ ❤👋
Ps love the matching shirts ♥️
What is that wall for in your dinning Room for?
What are you going to put on the back corner behind that wall?
I use the same kind of mop for my floors! I got a couple of micro cloth pads for it so that I can just throw it in the wash. Also put my cleaner in a spray bottle and dilute it so that I don't have to rinse it. They simply spray a section and mop with a wet mop. Works great!
Please! Dont paint that beautiful wood! Use your favorite color for accents like rugs, throw pillows, etc... Trust me, you will get tired of that color. Stay on course with neutral colors and go crazy with your accessories. You are doing an amazing job! Im so proud of you both. 2 such beautiful people! I cant wait to see what your baby looks like! ❤😊
Hey Rodrigo and Freddie you guys are crushing it the home is looking amazing i love it and that color for the outside is going to look amazing
Hey guys. The carrot "tops" or the greens. I've learned since I've been gardening that the carrots will only grow as deep as the garden soil is. I hope that makes sense. Because I live near the beach in New Jersey, we have sand and a lot of stones, so my carrots were very short. Now I've built up the garden beds and even have bigger humps the carrots grow in. They are a little longer now. I have a question, why is the piece of roofing metal lying in the back of your property? Is it a home for little animals or reptiles? Watch when you move it. 🤣😉 You 2 are doing so well. I love the colors you've picked for inside and out. You definitely need color to make it your space. The cotton rope mop works with a bucket of water, then you have to wring it out with your hands. Too much work. Freddie picked the right mop. A Swiffer (brand name) has a whole system of cleaning tools. Check it out, maybe on Amazon, or ask Jord and Kailie to bring it back from the States. 🤣😂 Thank you Roberto and Enrique for the great job. Hugs guys
It’s gray! Good move taking it off❤
Hi. I use a "wet mop" to clean the floor, and a dry mop (like your long mop) to go over the clean dry floor to get rid of any water marks and it gives a nice finish.
The tiling is looking beautiful. 💐
That tile is a different color! Yes, factory mistake! Good thing to remove it from the middle of your floor! The floor is beautiful and the home looks gorgeous!!😊❤
Teamwork makes the dream work! Looking good! 😍👍👍 Rodger: "Don't stop Rodrigo, I'm having fun drag me anywhere you're my new Uber driver!" Stay safe and see on the next one.
The floor looks great. I heard someone back always suggest you point the front of the refrigerator into the kitchen. If you can do that I would agree.
Grout haze cleaner to remove the dried on haze on the tiles that didn't get cleaned in that section that you did by the stairs. It's a lot more work if not done right away like the guys did with helping you this time. Looks great keep up the great work and learning as you go!
In the UK we use the stringy mop. They're great for cleaning and also for 'sucking up' water spills.
you put an old towel over a broom (cut a round hole to fit through handle ) and throw it in the washer then spinner. 2 tank washer is ideal. toss the american mop & american washer. use mortar not grout (grout will disolve and disappear)
So glad you replaced the grey tile! You guys are "knocking it out of the park" (a baseball term, in case you don't follow that sport Freddie)! Congratulations on your new baby - carrots. Vegetable greens are so nutritious, I love them in smoothies! See you next time. ❤🙏🏻
In Costa Rica, most people use a mop that has nothing attached at the bottom but there's a clip to hold a dish towel. I find them difficult to rinse and wring out. The best mop I've found is a spin mop. They sell them at Pricesmart and EPA (if you have it.) At Pricesmart, it's called Kodiak Bucket and Mop with Spinning Wringing - Trapero y Balde con Escurridor Giratorio. I have a different brand but I think they're all the same.
Haha Freddie I use an O-cedar mop it has the long strings but they are a shorter version and it comes with a bucket that spins it out. And you can pull them off to toss in the wash.
Wow, it keeps transforming so beautifully. Guys, youre doing great. Consider painting the wall next, it will pop with tiles. Gods Blessings for both, keep up the good work.
I love my Dupray steam cleaner - has diff attachments so you can clean everything with no chemicals and kills mold and cleans dust from the air etc… use microfiber cloths with it with white vinegar and cat friendly essential oils. The BONA mop system w duster & cleaning cloths super good for in between steam cleaning. Love you two!
In France, WE use hair mops too 😂 but we don't eat the green of the carrots but you can dye a white tee-shirt with it! It will turn orange!
cool!
Onions and beets like sandy soils. You need to create a special bed in the greenhouse just for crops that like to grow in that soil type then make a special soil mix to fill that bed with. It needs to be deep enough and the moisture level of the soil needs to be just right so they do not rot. You can grow other root vegetables in that area as well, carrots, turnips, potatoes, etc.
String mop is less sanitary and can get stinky if not properly maintained. I’d go with the European style one you bought.
Your floor is looking great and Roger had a great "skip" on the new tiles! Great job to all🌻
We love Enrique and Eberto....hope I spelled their names right...So nice to see them up close and having fun...the inside is absolutely stunning...you guys are Awesome...hope you finish one day and just relax in your beautiful home!! It's totally Grey!!
Can't wait until you guys finish the first floor and begin the second floor, I hope your bedroom will be on the second floor, maybe if you have room a third floor loft would be nice and use for storage, you must think ahead for storage space.
The handle on your floor mop expands. Screw the centre piece and pull it up then screw centre when you have desired length. ❤
Nice of yall to take your time to get the floor correct. I would’ve went with a more beige color like Freddie suggested but dark green would not only match the roof it would have attracted heat.
Spin mop! O-Cedar brand. I also have a Haan steam mop, but you need to put however many pads you use in the washing machine. And I've had a million different mops so I would go with the spin mop for the centrifugal force to get extra water out of mop. The replaceable mop heads for spin mops are made of string.
Same. 72 years old. I've used many different mops and mopped on hands and knees. (Dutch-German heritage) Spin mop was a game changer for this G-ma!!! Best ever.
You guys are really doing the damn thing!!! Bravo!!
Tiles are looking really nice. We have both types of mops. Use each one for a different task. The one with the long strings you have to use a wringer to get the excess water out,but it mops a bigger area. Like the outside color choice.
Here in the US I use either of those mops, the hairy one for wet floors and the other one for dry mopping/ sweeping is how I use them.
I dont't knkw about Panama, but in the US, you can buy small sample bottles of paint. Roll them on the wall, look at it in different lighting and times of day. Helps deciding if you have this bigger sample to see.
I'm living in Estonia and over here I see both version but the "hairy" mops are quite common, usually combined with a bucket that has some sort of mash on top to easily press the mop into to squeeze the water out. The one I have at home is actually from, I assume, a German brand: Vileda.
I feel you should use the dark teal in the dining area. The jungle green is beautiful, but your frig will not blend very well.
36:24 when you use the mop, drag it in figure off eights so you get the dirt with you
Oooh Myyyy God, the floor looks so beautiful, what a change, Great job guys, I have to say that when this Aframe home is finished it's going to look so beautiful, keep up the amazing work guys, I love it, love it , love it.
Rodrigo we need to get you watching American football. There are so many teams to choose from you would like it.
As for the carrots they are the best right from the garden or refrigerator if you’d like them chilled. I like growing my own carrots because you just scrub them down and eat no need to peel them.
Why? Usa football sucks.
Love you two. Such a lovely couple and you work so well together. Glad to see the guys helping you out and their grout experience is great. Three days but it is really looking like a home. Can't wait to see the finished product and you guys relaxing watching a movie or having guests over for dinner. WooHoo! Until the next time be safe and prosper.
Before you paint the wall jungle green, hold the green up next to your refrigerator so you are happy that they don’t clash.😊
Go Get'em Guys.....Luvs My Freddie 😇
Use the Freddie mop so much easier to use and clean it too !!!! Whoooo hooooo beautiful floor on its way !!!!
Freddie the green parts of the carrots are called carrot tops. I’ve made lots of carrot top pesto too, which my family love with pasta. Add a bit of Parmesan too and it’s delicious. Plus, if you made a bulk batch it freezes well too.
Freddie is my favorite German, hands down.
Please help.This is no joke.I just hope a youtube will help us spread the word to help find him xxx😢😢😢😢😢😢
Find who?
I think the European version is much healthier! The string ones you have to squeeze the water out and replunge it back in the dirty water !
