My dad was a sheet rocker and he only had girls, so we girls learned everything about construction!! I loved it! But I never got to leave put screws in the side like you just did!! I have always wanted to!! I am 70 years old still fixing thing and tilling my son the tricks of the trade!!!🤪
You gotta paint over the primer. It will chalk overtime and cover whatever you put in there with white dust. Primer is not meant to left uncovered by paint.
Very nice. Small tip. If you would not have paint all over you, paint from the back out or from the middle out, depending on the application. That way you aren't dragging your hair and your sleeves across wet paint.
You and Jay have come up with solutions for so much storage space. You have apparently thought of using every cubby hole for storage, and we all need storage space. The doors and drawers look beautiful. Great job, Jay and Abby!
Looks sooooo good! I am taking notes on you! My preference would be to use a satin sheen paint on the cabinets. And I think I'd just go ahead and paint the inside of the cubby as well even though it is more work. Just makes it look and feel finished. Jay can come to my house any time. Since he's not here, I often struggle through trying to figure things out in our own old house. You are learning so much!
Love theses built ins , storage is so important to have and you Girl have done a tremendous job on this house , with Jays help of course , but wow how nice . Love to watch every time . Go Sweet Heart your goal is growing closer every day !!!!! 🥰 ( I accidently lost a notice from you ) could you try again ? I'm old school and get turned around on this stuff 😵💫.Thanks.
Lovely stone bench that you and your Mom built in front of the flower bed. Your home is moving fast now, it's looking great. Jay is a genius and his wife is a smart lucky woman! I think that you and your sister will be comfortable and safe in your home. It's pretty fabulous!😃
I am so enjoying watching the progress but I can’t wait to see the finished product. You need to have a “House Warming Party” and invite everyone that helped in some way during the process. Please invite your RUclips viewers too. Everything is looking great!!!
So glad you focused attention on your flower bed so I did not have to sneak a peek while you were showing other things. Those flowers are so pretty together! Your custom built ins are so nice…another great job by Jay!
You mentioned only priming the interior of the cubbies. I think you should paint the interiors also, would give a more finished look, hold up better over time. You've been detailed in all other areas, no reason to cut corners now. You already have the paint. All the cubbies, drawers for the built ins, look really good, it's coming together nicely. Saw Horses - I know Jay said he doesn't want them, but sure wouldn't hurt for you to have some, instead of working on the floor!
Abby and Jay well done on installing the cabinets. Jay did a great job in putting them together. Everything is looking great in the bedroom. Before you know it it will be a finished beautiful home. Flowers look wonderful. I love the stone wall and I hope you keep it. God bless you and Jay and keep you safe 🙏 Tell Jay Happy Father's Day..
Great job never forget you are learning, yes it stinks when make a mistake but as long as learning from them then your always a winner I believe Jay would agree you have the perfect teacher.❤😊
All of your videos are interesting. You can never have too much storage, keeps things neat and out of sight. Also thanks for giving us a peek at Lady and her new daughter! Are you milking Pansy??😅
The built-ins are perfect. Here's a cost saving pro tip. Wallpaper inside the closets and the bottom of the drawers. I'm a fan of staining these units with a nice 3 coat satin varnish finish. Perfection! All the best Abby and Jay!!
Hi Abby, the built-in storage cabinets Jay & you but in looks great. You're very strong carrying up the stairs with Jay. Funny you fit inside the middle cabinet as you painted it. Lol !! 😂
You could put some wallpaper in the cuby, you said you may use for suitcases. Just a pop of fun when you open the doors. Just because it's storage, it can still be fun.
Great storage solutions for slanted walls. Pocket hole building is another skill you will never regret learning. I suggest you caulk around the inside base of middle closet to prevent bugs and possible mice. (You do live in the countryside now.)
I was surprised that you hadn’t sanded and primed the cubby before putting in the frames and doors… it would have been easier to reach and do… but it’s all looking great! You are going to love all that storage space!
Hi Abby! Love what you have done with the place so far! Just finished watching the video with you and your sister at your dad's! 👍 I think you should bring a couple of those kittens for your place! Every country home needs a couple of good mousers! 😉🙂
Love the built ins! You said you're pretty much done, but what are you going to do with the wood inside your door frames and window frames? Paint, drywall?
PG here, Great job, Great look. Very good way to use the space and when full it will act as additional insulation for those cold Northern New York winters!
Abby, just wondering if the same craftsman that did your exterior doors will be doing your inside doors? And will you be using the same stain as you used on your exterior doors?? Its looking marvelous!!❤
Abby, Jay's going to turn you into a master carpenter by the time you're finished. You're on the stretch now, everything is looking good.
This house has so much storage now!
It looks good. Everyone should have a Jay in their life.
I 2nd that 😊
I sure hope, Jay has taught his wonderful skills to his children and grandchildren. Because the learning thebest.
Great t-shirt idea!😅
Sometimes you just feel like brushing instead of rolling!😂❤️👍
Now I know why the phrase "ask Sherwin Willams"
Jay's shirt says he is Sherwin Williams and Jay knows everything! 😊
Those weeds, the lining ones look like morning glories and they never stop.
You are so beyond blessed to know a carpenter like jay. You just tell him what you want and boom, it's done.
My dad was a sheet rocker and he only had girls, so we girls learned everything about construction!! I loved it! But I never got to leave put screws in the side like you just did!! I have always wanted to!! I am 70 years old still fixing thing and tilling my son the tricks of the trade!!!🤪
Great use of space.
You gotta paint over the primer. It will chalk overtime and cover whatever you put in there with white dust. Primer is not meant to left uncovered by paint.
Very beautiful flowers
Your house is going to be so beautiful!! When it's done, you won't know what to do with your spare time!! Lol! There will always be cleaning!😅
There will be a place for everything & everything in its place.
Very nice. Small tip. If you would not have paint all over you, paint from the back out or from the middle out, depending on the application. That way you aren't dragging your hair and your sleeves across wet paint.
It looks beautiful, Abby. Jay does a wonderful, skillful job, and you are the best helper ❤️🎉
I envision a stone cobbled driveway😍
You and Jay have come up with solutions for so much storage space. You have apparently thought of using every cubby hole for storage, and we all need storage space. The doors and drawers look beautiful. Great job, Jay and Abby!

Jay is a master carpenter! Such a great job you both did on the cabinets and shelves!
Oh my goodness I love your built-ins So beautiful.
So stunning, Abby!!! 🥰🎶🙏❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The sounds of nature, birds singing, wonderful.
Abby, your right the bedroom cabinets should be painted with satin or semi-gloss, I used satin on mine , semi-gloss has a little more shine.
Love theses built ins , storage is so important to have and you Girl have done a tremendous job on this house , with Jays help of course , but wow how nice . Love to watch every time . Go Sweet Heart your goal is growing closer every day !!!!! 🥰 ( I accidently lost a notice from you ) could you try again ? I'm old school and get turned around on this stuff 😵💫.Thanks.
So excited for the progress on the bedrooms,can't wait to see them done.❤
Lovely stone bench that you and your Mom built in front of the flower bed. Your home is moving fast now, it's looking great. Jay is a genius and his wife is a smart lucky woman! I think that you and your sister will be comfortable and safe in your home. It's pretty fabulous!😃
Abby...you will be glad you used a semi-gloss trim paint on the wood. It looks rally nice and it is so much easier to clean.❤
Everything is on a faster pace with your house now.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us as you both inform and inspire your viewers.
Yes Abby you need to have a big party and invite all the ones that helped!

Awesome to see progress weekly!!😊
Abby, you're good when you make a mistake, and you can hide it and nobody knows except you , Jay and about 34,000 others🤣! You're doing a fine job!
Abby, don't forget the time capsule!
Jay, those built ins are amazing!! ❤️🤯

It must be so exciting when you see the accomplishments that are made as you progress through this journey of fixing up your home.
Love this channel!!! And your dad and mom’s channel as well!!!
So blessed by you all!
Great job guys and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
🎉🎉🎉
You'll have to watch Abby & Trudie in 'Working Horses with Jim' as they help with farm chores while their parents are away!! 😊
I just love how you have turned every uneven space into something useful and beautiful. Genius 😊
I loved your opening scene of you sitting on your gorgeous rock wall in front of your garden. What a lovely little space.
Jay you are an amazing gentleman! Abby is blessed to have to have your help!
Looks so good! Good job Abbe & Jay!
I have heard that the 🤔paint in the cubbies helps seal the sheet rock for moisture etc
Beautiful craftsmanship! I love it!
Abby and Jay well done on installing the cabinets. Jay did a great job in putting them together. Everything is looking great in the bedroom. Before you know it it will be a finished beautiful home. Flowers look wonderful. I love the stone wall and I hope you keep it. God bless you and Jay and keep you safe 🙏
Tell Jay Happy Father's Day..
Awesome work, Abby! That's great to show how's it done. Great job, Abby and Jay! Keep up your great work on your videos.
Jay is so helpful and you are doing an amazing job on your home. You’ll be moving in pretty soon at the rate you’re going! Good job!
It's looking beautiful. You and Jay are doing a wonderful job. Customizing your home.
I've been watching from the start and coming along very nicely, beautiful
Great job never forget you are learning, yes it stinks when make a mistake but as long as learning from them then your always a winner I believe Jay would agree you have the perfect teacher.❤😊
I love watching you and Jay make the built ins! He is a talented guy!
Nice Job ; Onward & Upward . !
All of your videos are interesting. You can never have too much storage, keeps things neat and out of sight. Also thanks for giving us a peek at Lady and her new daughter! Are you milking Pansy??😅
You were in there painting and I kind of thought that some peel and stick wallpaper would be a fun addition. ❤
The built-ins are perfect. Here's a cost saving pro tip. Wallpaper inside the closets and the bottom of the drawers. I'm a fan of staining these units with a nice 3 coat satin varnish finish. Perfection! All the best Abby and Jay!!
You should put a kick draw at the bottom of those bottom shelf in your closet.
Looking so good ,lots of work.
Hi Abby, the built-in storage cabinets Jay & you but in looks great. You're very strong carrying up the stairs with Jay. Funny you fit inside the middle cabinet as you painted it. Lol !! 😂

Wow!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ coming along so beautifully!!

Outstanding work you guys ..
You are just gonna Love your Forever Home 🏠
I am so enjoying see all the progress! I look forward to each new upload. I really think you'll be in your new house for the holidays.
I like going out with a small artist brush and an equally small bottle of weed poison and tip poisoning the weeds. It works well.
Those shelves are looking good!
Your fixer upper is looking fantastic 😊
Gorgeous absolutely stunning
Love the built ins! You said you're pretty much done, but what are you going to do with the wood inside your door frames and window frames? Paint, drywall?
Looking very good Abby!! 😊
Thought you were going to stain the build ins also. My mistake. Love all the storage. Wish I had some of that😅
Wow!!! Those look sooo nice!!!
Beautiful garden
The built in shelves are great!!! Just looking behind you as you talk--it looks like a totally different house!! I love it all!! 💕
Everything is looking awesome ❤
Looks great!
PG here, Great job, Great look. Very good way to use the space and when full it will act as additional insulation for those cold Northern New York winters!
❤looks wonderful 😊
Great work. Get some rest. 😊
Still no table or a saw horse?!
For whatever reason Jay does not like saw horses, they addressed this a couple videos ago. But I don't remember his reasoning 😊
I love your design
Abby.😊
Cool cool house for sure! 😎👏👍
What sorcery is this?! Jay is a wizard!
Nice Porsche.
Sherwin-Williams is the largest supplier of paint for road striping in the US.
Abby, just wondering if the same craftsman that did your exterior doors will be doing your inside doors? And will you be using the same stain as you used on your exterior doors?? Its looking marvelous!!❤
I love the built in storage cabinets they are beautiful and will hold up and last a long time.
Well Abby they are beautiful.
