Bathroom thoughts... a walking shower in the master so you two can gracefully age in place if you choose to stay there long term. A shower and tub combo in the guest room would be great for both kids and aged guests who might visit. As we age, sitting in a tub is a hazard as it gets harder to get up! I've learned from experience.
Not in a walk in tub!
Why the river stone floor would be PERFECT for a walk-in-shower.
My late mother in law had a walk in tub and she didn't like it because you had to fill it after you got in and had to wait for all the water to drain before she could get out and would be cold by then. I think a seat in the shower, if you have a separate shower, would be the way to go but I'm 70 and I have a surround tub/shower and tend to only take showers because my strength isn't what it used to be. I used to love to have a bath but now I find it too difficult to stand up from the sitting position because I don't have the arm and leg strength and the tub only has one edge and the inside wall is just straight in our new home so I can't get enough of a hand hold on both sides like I used to in our old house. With the claw footed tub like they will have I think that getting up wouldn't be a problem.
I was about to say the same. Aging goes fast... so it's good to think of these things in the building process, because it will cost you a lot more later on to change things up to be accessible. I'm so happy I made my shower portion separate. I love a tub too, but my husband had MS and eventually we needed a shower he could roll up to and slide over on the bench/chair. I converted a downstairs butlers pantry into a bath with a rectangular shower. I put a block glass shower wall and built the shower floor with a sloped floor to drain down into. I installed the large handicapped handrails around it...which actually looked industrial and looked good as well as functional. The shower had an open doorway on the end but water would not coming out. The open doorway made it very accessible for a wheelchair too.
Since that bathroom was right off the kitchen, it really got used a lot. People who visited loved using that shower too. Most visitors or people who are still working outside the home will want a shower to use. I love a soaking tub, but that's something I wouldn't use in the morning before I went to work. So I would recommend adding a shower to your guest bathroom. You can easily make it separate from the tub without that much cost. I built and tiled one myself and I'm not a professional contractor. I hired the plumbing like you are doing. I also hired the person who installed the shower block glass wall. It was an all day job since they have to wait for each row to set up. So when thinking about staying in your home forever, think about aging or possible health emergencies that could happen that would prevent you from residing in your home. An accessible bathroom is one of the first issues you will face when that happens. Keep your door openings wide and access to a shower so that you can keep a shower chair in it.
Totally agree. It should be a rimless shower so you can get a wheelchair in. Should also have all handicapped width doorways. You are building. Time to think of the future.
Love MaryCarl and her intelligence about her chickens!! God Bless you Jason, you have the best sense of humour and dance delicately with your words around the two ladies, always saying "I could be wrong". I think you are the best of the best, and must have had a great Dad for a role model, and an ever better Mom to raise you to be the gentleman that you are!!! God Bless you and your lovely family!! May the house build go smoothly with no stress!
I've had a claw foot tub. We had an extra long one we got from a house that was being demolished. Loved, loved, loved it. My husband's 6'6" and he could stretch out his legs. However, the hoop around the top with a shower curtain hanging from it is a real pain. The curtain blows in with the hot water flowing on you and clings to your legs and body. There's also one thing to think about in the future. You won't always be young and limber. Stepping over the tub's edge gets harder and harder. A shower is walk-in. Just some thoughts. Love y'all's channel. I wait eagerly each time for your vlogs and such to come out. Keep being you!
This is absolutely the truth!!! Time changes all things as d you never know how soon a physical change could come. Put in both a stand alone shower and your tub!!!!!
Thumbs up on a walk in shower for easy accessibility.
I got rid of my tub and put in a stand alone shower. I rarely took a bath and didn’t like the curtain blowing and cold air coming in. And iI don’t have time to lay in a tub with tons of candles burning while drinking a glass of wine. That’s only in the movies. Think long term. Some of the designs aren’t really practical. I have bench in the shower so I can sit down. I wouldn’t change it. Good luck with your decisions!!!
Hi guys I am so excited for you guys and your house and how everything's going and I want to let you know I'm an elderly lady who's physical abilities have changed and luckily I have a walk-in shower because trying to put my leg over a claw tub would be impossible and so just just thoughts that you might want to think about for the future I know it's not in your bathroom but if you have older gas it may be hard for them to but I love you guys love your videos and take care 💕
@@user-ug8bk5su2i it was cast iron (HEAVY!!) but even with magnets at the bottom the sides blew in. Doesn't matter now. I'm older and have moved. Have a walk-in tub. But we have very fond memories of stretching out in that tub.
Those vintage surround showers are so beautiful! However I’m in agreement with the lady that said “ if people don’t like it they can stay at the Holiday Inn”! 🤣
Omgosh! I’ve looked at the metal on the walls in a bathroom on Pinterest and they are BEAUTIFUL!! I think you guy’s will pick what you feel in your HEARTS and it will be right for your HOME!! HOME being the word here! Your not just building a House,your putting your Heart and Soul into it and that’s what makes it YOUR HOME!!! Stay true to your Heart and it will be BEAUTIFUL!! Love you guy’s!🛀🏠
Loved seeing Marycarl , what a wonderful child you have, so smart and polite and cute. And my opinion on your house is: It is your home please don't pick something because you might sell in ten years. If someone doesn't like what you have done they can change it. Your home should be where you feel loved and compfortable and when you look around you say yep this is us and we love it. If you want a claw tub with polka dots on it then that is what you should have LOL One of the reasons I love your video's is because you do things your way and that is how it should be. Keep the video's coming we love seeing all the updates, good and bad. I still love Moody the big puppy and Mildred Mama's girl. Thanks for bringing smiles to my face and knowledge to my brain.
May everyone stay safe and well. This message goes out to Jason and Brooke too! You folks are overwhelmed for the past many months..take care of your health.
Mary Carl is such a treasure. I could listen to her talk and teach about her chickens for hours. I’ve never owned one but she could tempt me.
I Is thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed Marycarl's part of the podcast about her baby chickens. She is so smart and very interesting to listen to.
Here in the UK it's called "Perimenopausal" I am 60 and still get the hot flushes but not too often thank goodness lol Things on the 40 are coming along fabulously I really hope Marycarl becomes a participant in chicken and fowl shows she will be fantastic
Peri-menopause.
As for your decorating, you have very defined ideas and stick to them. You have excellent ideas. The results will be absolutely stunning!
Brooke, I think you will be in your house by summer. Things will pick up speed. Just look at how far you’ve come in a short period of time!
You are right--you have a lot going on but as each job goes to the next step the easement will fall into place and you will be able to breathe easier. Fingers crossed on the hatchings! 😊❤️🎶👏👏👏🇨🇦
Absolutely stick to your own choices...your home..don't compromise!
So great to have Mary Carl; what a sweet, mature, young lady!
As a Realtor, every house needs at least one bathtub for children for resale. Whether it is in the master or guest bathroom it just needs one. As far as showers, I would do a gradual sloped walk-in shower (no shower pan at all!) so that you can use a walker, wheelchair, etc. to get a shower as you age. That would have to be planned for because it is part of your concrete slab pour. I know you did not like a tiled shower because of grout lines, but you can get "marblelite" that is a solid slab of acrylic like marble that is so easy to clean but does not scratch like the plastic acrylic panels for the walls. Best wishes as you build!
Good info, Diane!
Went through this myself years ago! DO NOT nip it in the bud if you have the choice. The alternative, for me, was life threatening and left me with more problems than answers. Treat it naturally and just keep a dry gown at the ready, lol. It may last a while but it WILL end naturally if you give it the chance. Patience is a virtue. (And worth it in this situation, IMHO).
And some of us end up not feeling the cold as much when it’s all over so it does have some positives 😬
Brooke, I'm in the same boat with you and the intermittent paramenopause. All cotton sheets are a MUST. No Bamboo, no flannel, no T Shirt sheet, nothing but 100%cotton. I had to get a cotton bed (not poly filled) cover for the top of my memory foam bed topper because heat was trapping. I have a cooling pillow, etc. etc. Good luck to you and if you keep getting hot at night, make sure your sheets are cotton otherwise heat might not be escaping and trapping moisture- why you waking up sweating.
Your baby girl really has shown alot of growth with herself and her knowlage of her birds. She is more comfortable with the camera, I love watching her talk with dad.
Have a wonderful day
If you find a clawfoot tub surround you like, buy it no matter the color. You could always connect with an auto paint shop, or a ceramic coating shop and have it spray painted.
Also, could powder coat the shower ring to match the faucet set.
Peri menopause Brooke
When I built my house I had a old claw foot tub that belong to my mom family....I had a neighbor that did body shop on cars...he sandblasted and repainted it and it turned out great.... it's held up for almost 30 years
Your decor style seems to be a mix of industrial and farmhouse. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
I’ve love hearing Marycarl give all the information about chickens. I’m new to having chickens so love her sharing her knowledge.
Marycarl is so cute/pretty, and smart. I love yalls animals and the way they cut-up.I saw one vid where Marycarl was squatted down digging in the dirt with her fingers and one of the chickens went over to Marycarl and started digging/scratching around in the dirt just like Marycarl. SO cute. The house is taking shape. Take care.
Hi MaryCarl! It was so interesting to hear you talk about your birds. I'm glad you joined your Mom and Dad. Come back soon. Be safe and stay well!
It’s always extra special when we get to see the chicken master. She’s an excellent teacher.
What a well spoken lovely young lady you have raised, you should be so very proud!!! Thank you Mary Carl for joining the podcast tonight, you’re amazing knowledge is so impressive. There is greatness in your future 😍❤️👍
Also an outside shower especially living in the country would be awesome
You will have the Tiny House for guests. It has a bathroom.
Always a joy to hear your voices and laughter and thank you MaryCarl for sharing your vast knowledge with us all ❤
Mary Carl any time you want to come to give us some of your knowledge on your beautiful birds, chickens & ducks, please do as I for one love hearing all about them! That little chick already knows she can trust you completely, she was so comfortable with you. Thank you for sharing with us!
It was so awesome to see MaryCarl again. And thank you for educating us on modern game chicken. I can't wait to see them crown up. Especially Tiny Tim's "Modern Sarama game chick" 😁😁
Mary Carl so happy to see you and the baby chick this time. Always love listening to you explaining chicken breeds to us. I knew nothing about chickens until I started watching the your videos.
I was going to say before you Mentioned This Brooke, A Hoop Ring With A Shower, I loved them, You Two Are Great Researchers and You will have your home the way you want it, Can't Wait! Thank you Mary Carl For That Education on your Chicken!
I just loved listening to Mary Carl talk about her feathered babies. She is so well versed, careful with her words, and speaks so eloquently. Such a special beautiful little daughter you have.💗🐣🐥🐔🐓🕊🦩🦢
Love how Mary Carl can tell so much about her chickens. Every time she tells something about them I learn new things. Love it! 💌
Will y'all be videoing then MC candling her duck eggs ,and put it in a video? I sure hope so. I love that little chick 🐥🐥. Love the channel
Have you looked at the round shower rods? They are so cute. It doesn't circle the entire tub it's just a circle shower in the center.
I even saw one that was totally separate and it was into a wooden barrel with a brass curtain rod it was beautiful and looked so rustic.
Was so nice to see MaryCarl! She is so grown up!🤗💕
Mary Carl is a true delight to listen to her talk about the feathers, she is very knowledgeable about all the birds.
Love when MaryCarl decides to share her knowledge! She is one smart cookie!!
Just a suggestion: Your architect is a wealth of information; this is their wheelhouse! Please consult him regarding design questions (vapor barrier, spr as y foam, etc).
Bless you all! Y’all radiate a loving family relationship full of respect! Thank you MaryCarl for loving chickens and teaching the world about them!
Our family has gone total vintage bathrooms in 2 different houses. Using actual antique fixtures - claw foot cast iron bath tubes, pedestal sinks, toilets with wood tanks lined with copper, cut down church pews for seating. Of course rooms are larger than most. Everyone who visits our country homes truly loves our vintage- country bathrooms!!! Go for the casual country look!!! You all won't regret country choices!!! Cheerio!
Thank you for another fun chat! Ms Mary Carl sure is one smart young lady!! You go girl!! 🥰🥳💞
Hi cog squad nice seeing you guys today love the idea about the tub I love a good long bubble bath but ain't been able to sit in the tub for 1yr cause of the hips so have to use a med chair .been through menopause is not too bad just don't kick nobody down the stairs like my cousin did
Love seeing Mary Carl. She relaxes the longer she’s on and you can tell her love and knowledge!
I appreciate that ya'll are so good to each other. I'm applauding your efforts on the build and decisions. It's so hard. Marycarl is one smart cookie.
Brooke, too many decisions is not a good thing. I agree! It makes things so much more difficult. 😳
That was a great one Brooke was hilarious and MC was so wonderful I love to have her teach us mor about her babies. I love you all. All the work is so exciting. Granny B❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Loved seeing MC today! Her knowledge is incredible! One cannot watch MC talk “birds” and not get as excited as her!
MC is a pretty incredible young lady, I know I don’t need to tell you both this but I thought it is very important for her to hear this. MC, please keep following your passions and dreams, the journey will be amazing!
God Bless!
Mary Carl really knows her birds. I really enjoyed her talk. She's so knowledgeable.
For the guest bath, get a hand held sprayer on your faucet so you can have both. Hang a shower curtain rode that would save your walls.
Love those shower surrounds. A company called Signature has one in matte black.
So happy to see Marycarl visiting the Cog Cast!! Such a knowledgeable young lady!! Hugs!
Those Modern Game chickens of yours are very recognisable here in England, not because many people have actually seen one, but because they are very iconic in old English "Village Pub" signage and old countryside art.
As I think about it, they used white ceramic fixtures, not chrome etc. In the old days. I stayed on a dairy with my Great Uncle and Aunt in the mid 50s and their beautiful old home had the freestanding tub with the shower curtain surround. My Grandparents did too! I know you are both wearing out, but for me, this part is exciting! Wish I could help! Lol!
My aunt and uncle did too.
MaryCarl is growing into a lovely young lady…very informed but with a gentle personality ❤️🇨🇦
I could listen to Mary Carl talk about chickens and ducks all day long! What a bright young lady she is! And oh so pretty! Love from Texas
I can see MC heading up a 4-H office by the time she's 18-years-old. Her knowledge is incredible, she is so well-spoken, and she would be an incredible inspiration to young people/future farmers. Kudos to Jason and Brooke as parents. MC is a scholar and a lady.
I love how Marycarl knows so much about birds and other animals.
I agree the rustic look is truly amazing my whole place has gotten pretty rustic over the years I love it good choice guys I love it
I love how knowledgeable Mary Carl is! She’s such a beautiful young lady
Mary Carl is a doll , a very smart doll by the way . I have learned so much about chickens after watching you all , I had no idea . Then I watched chicken people after y'all suggested it . I have a new appreciation for chickens I had no idea . Loved listening to Mary Carl talk about the chickens it's amazing . Great podcast or video , love y'all . And now I love chickens , lol, I can't wait to learn so much more .
Love hearing MaryCarl talking about her chickens!
For the shower surround, you can always spray paint it to the color you want and then a couple of coats of clear coat.
Giiiirrrl. The look on Jason's face when you said "July"! 😂🤣 I am praying all goes smoothly, and Brooke is RIGHT! 😁
Put showers in the house and a hot tub out back to soak in 😃👍. Nugget wants a hot tub too.
I have been waiting for you Brooke, I have the box for de clutter on my table! You inspired and encouraged me. ATM , you haven't got to this stage, my one and only child moved out in lockdown last September. Haha she has her own house so I moved packed all her things and put them in her old bedroom after dismantling her double bed... well you know she is renovating her place, I now feel so trapped. But I have a box and will fill it, I am a collector and the family resposporitor for my parents, grandparents and great grandparents things!! Hmm I feel crowded! You inspired me to get a box, walk around and fill that box! So far only at the box stage but will keep you updated HaHa.
Thank you Mary Carl for being on the podcast today and sharing with us. Love to see more of you.
Marycarl you are so knowledgeable about all of your chickens!!
I can't say who is more fortunate . Brooke for having Jason or Jason for having Brooke. I guess MaryCarl is the most fortunate one because she has you both as her parents. You guys are awesome. May GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU.
Closed cell may cost more today; however, Alabama heat and humidity, MHO, the long term benefit will pay back in energy cost. Andrew, at Kelley’s Country Life, has great videos on his closed cell foam.🙏
Yes, check out their build! Very factual information.
MaryCarl thanks for the lesson today, that was very interesting. Brooke and Jason another great PodCast. Thanks. 🇨🇦
I was so excited to see MaryCarl on the podcast today, she is just getting so big and pretty.
Thank you for your moral goodness in encouraging the workmen to get better
Yes chrome is out there, can be sprayed. Black. My friend did this for the same reason around her claw foot, that was 15 yrs ago, still looks great. That may be a solution for you.
One good thing about cast-iron it does keep the water hotter longer period with an acrylic tub the water cools down really fast. Just some food for thought.
Yall go with your gut feeling, always. If something doesn't feel right. It's not. That is a guardian angel nudging you. Yall have a beautiful, blessed week.
I have been laid up with covid for the last week...and I'm totally vaccinated. My husband brought it home from work. He felt poorly for 2days only. It's a real bugger! Love you all, thanks for keeping me company while I recover. I just need a chicken squirrel😉😉😉😉😄😄😄😄😄😄.
I think there is a primer and paint that can make the Chrome look like anything you want…….copper might be amazing.
I lived in many old homes with claw foot tubs and loved the depth and warmth but they also had shower poles . The shower is extended out side the wall and you hang a shower curtain rod around the tub
So good to see Mary Carl again with her precious baby chicks. She is the Chicken Queen!💞. You have so many choices and decisions in your new home construction. Loved the podcast. 🎉💞
I love listening and learning from Mary Carl about the different breeds of chickens. I wish I could have chickens where I live. The city that I live in say that chickens are noisy and stink. Thank you Mary Carl for your information on chickens 🐔 😀
You could make your own claw foot surround curtain rod with black pipe... on the subject of showers... I would consider the future as you age...believe me...getting in and out of a tub with higher sides can be difficult if not dangerous...
I am 74 and just yesterday we had a walk-in shower installed. I had a garden jacuzzi. It had gotten to the point, I could get in, but had to have help getting out. You are young now, but believe me as you get
Older you will want a shower.
It was so good to see MaryCarl on the podcast showing off her bantam game chick and imparting her knowledge on all chicken needs. Jason, I think you make her very comfortable talking in front of the camera because you show her how to just be herself. I love your podcasts and your videos. Great job!
MaryCarl I love learning about & seeing your beautiful chickens, ducks, & birds! I can't wait to see the little game-Timmy cross! It's very interesting to see them in their growth process, how they change so fast.
It's amazing how almost every breed of fowl can be born with the ability to walk, eat, & drink after being shown the feeder & waterer.
Your love for them glows, & they thrive from your gentle care. All are healthy & happy, friendly & calm as can be. :-).
I think you should put a shower near the back entrance of your house. This way you can do a quick clean up of farm dirt and not track it through the house. You could keep robes in the shower room or outside the room. It could be near your washer and dryer.
Yes I love the idea of a mudroom right near the washer and dryer with a walk in enclosed shower!!!
If you are going to do the shower in the claw foot tub, I would suggest that you tile the walls and floor around it and place a drain underneath. Otherwise you have to worry about your subfloor.
It’s a concrete slab, but that is a good Idea
@@jbs454 I thought they decided pier and beam. That is why they bought those protectors. If they were building on a slab, it would have been poured before the framing.
We are pouring a slab
@@CogHillFarmPodcast Wow, I have never seen where they framed the house before pouring the slab
@work inProgress it depends on the contractor
I just love to start my morning with a cup of coffee and listen to your podcast. I would (me, personally) put a shower and tub in the guest bathroom, not for guests but for your daughter and if you sell the house later on. We have one of those annoying low tub inserts (that you really can't soak in unless you are a short child) and we have considered tearing it out and making a double shower or adding a wood shower bench. Though if we had a nice deep tub we might actually use it :) Oh, and have you all seen the Carolina Coops (I think that is the brand name) chicken coops?! they are gorgeous!
The answer to your bath/shower is don't let Mary Carl go anywhere. I could not cope without Cog Hill. I really enjoy you all. There is no-one else in this world like all of you. Still need to watch how Mary Carls chicks come on. Just tell her to not grow up so fast. X
It was lovely seeing Mary Carl showing off her proud little chick 🐣♥️ we would love to see her experiment and produce some gold top bantam chicks,I'm sure she would make them a hit breed, they look just like little pumpkin 🐓♥️, house looks like it's shaping up 👏👍♥️
I love that little girl,you can tell she loves her birds
Good morning, hope you two are having a great start to your day. So excited for you guys and all your projects. Everything is moving along. 😁
I put leftover brisket in quiche, and we love it. We also add fresh spinach, onions, and whatever is in the fridge.
MaryCarl, I love it when you educate us!
Mary Carl looks all grown up! What a sweet heart and so knowledgeable. I predict she makes a huge impact in whatever she chooses to do! Love your podcasts. It’s like we are just sitting around the table with some sweet tea!
Good morning Cog squad!! Sitting here with my cup of coffee with a cool 34 degrees in SC. I am a lot like Brooke I can not deal well with cold weather. Will be so glad when the warmer weather gets here. Good luck with all the decisions you have to make. Y’all have done such a good job so far.
Like Jessica says from Roots and refuge, I am a frost tender flower!! I'm in Ohio and it's 23° here right now but my family is all in South Carolina! Planning a move soon. Getting too old for this stuff 😁😆
@@shandysgarden -18 in Maine yesterday morning....lol. Anything above 32 degrees feels like a summer day 😄
Jason and Brooke, my husband does not watch the videos I watch but every once in a while we happen to watch the same videos and y'alls videos are one of the only ones he will watch. Every time MaryCarl is on he tells me, "that little girl knows what she is talking about and we are going to hear more about her one day.". He thinks she is going to be the next Jack Hanna. I am now interested in all kinds of chickens and pigeons. Y'all are good parents.
Please don't worry so much about "making people mad". You just do you. Love watching you guys ❤
I love the look of exposed pipes for the claw foot tub. It looks beautiful and sooooo vintage.
Everything goin on is just so exciting! Love yall!
Thank you Mary Carl! You were amazjng. I swear you have grown a foot! Do the Royal Crowns have names? They ate so beautiful! I can't wait for babies! Does MC have a color scheme, for her room?
💕 I just LOVE when you're daughter Mary Carl comes on and talks about the birds.💕 Thank you so much I have so missed seeing you and hearing you in the podcast. Please tell us more about the pigeons and what your plans are for the birds what your plans are when the pond gets put in what you plan on doing love you sweetie 💕
well done , mr and mrs coghill. for schooling young miss coghill to such a high standard.
