      The ink wasn't even dry and you responded. Tonight is a Lunar Eclipse I'm going down to Flagler Beach to film it. It starts here at 10:30 EDT. I have a Sony 200 to 600 telephoto lens to shoot it. It's call a Flower Moon and also called a Blood Moon. I don't know if you will see it out there. I'll share the photos.

    One of the reasons I like watching you guys so much is how well researched your projects are and how patient you both are with them. Throw in a good amount of natural talent and it makes for some excellent viewing. The kitchen looks awesome!

    Fantastic job! Your design tastes and installation / fabrication skills would be enough to keep many (most?) of us watching. But then the commentary, comradery, teamwork, and cheery dispositions are captivating! What a joy to be tagging along with you four as you transform your 20 acres into a terrific house - workshop, but also into a Home. Thank you both.

    That tile looks amazing guys!! I would have never had the nerve to use those giant tiles.
    As you ALWAYS do ... You made it look so easy. I agree about the grinder vs the tile saw. The precision of your cuts was spot on! Dishwasher is very interesting. Saves space appears to hold a good amount and is very eco-friendly. So good to see more of B and B again. Can't wait for the next chapter.

  • @CaptainKseadog1
    @CaptainKseadog1 2 года назад +12

    Hey guys, i really like your choice of the big tiles. A little more difficult, but way better not to fill a bunch of grout joints.
    Riley, your cuts with the grinder are impressive. Great job guys!

    • @AmbitionStrikes

    Seeing that rain reminds me... When we built our last house we lived in the shop the 4 years it took to build the house (we both had full time jobs back then). I won't go into the story of 5 wells to get water, that's part of why we spent four years living in the shop. Anyway, we set up a rain water harvesting system that we used for showers, sinks, the clothes washer, etc. It was pretty simple. Gutters, a "roof washer" system to divert the first part of the rainfall, a 1500 gallon tank in the shop portion of the building, 3 filters to get down to 3 microns, and a shallow well pump that maintained constant pressure to everything. We used delivered water for cooking and drinking and had a composting toilet (I'll never have another one of those...). We were 50 or 60 miles west of you guys in Washington state. Plenty of rain and snow melt in that area. The rain harvesting worked very well. A couple times it got close but we never ran out of water. You would be shocked how much water is in a small shower with the size of that building. Oh yeah, speaking of that, the system also had an overflow for the tank.

  • @JackoTJK

    Grinder is the best tiling tool. I also worked out years ago that if you're trying to keep mess to a minimum you can mortar the tile and stick it down. It minimizes excess

    Nice tile work. A good pair of Glass/Tile Suction Cups will make a huge difference lifting and setting the tile. Also, when mixing mortar, add water first, start mixer, then add dry mortar into the pail. It’s easier on your mixers motor.

    Hi Riley and Courtney
    You had me as excited as you on these latest kitchen projects
    The kitchen is looking so beautiful.
    It shows you can still be somewhat modern and off grid at the same time.
    You to are doing such a fantastic job.
    Can't wait to see what you do next.
    Stay strong and safe

    The kitchen turned out beautiful and very functional. With all the rain and your big roof are you going to collect the rain water and store it like life uncontained they turned it into drinking water with filtration. This way you do not have to hall every time.

  • @bartwesp4303
    @bartwesp4303 2 года назад +2

    Lutron Casseta is awesome. Add a couple of lights in the garage and entry area, a remote in the cars, and you'll never walk into a dark house again! Also great is the ability to turn on a bunch of lights with a single button when you hear boo in the night.
    I would also ping the ecoflow folks, because they should be able to integrate in order to shut off lighting circuits, etc, if the batteries are too low.

  • @BFVgnr
    @BFVgnr 2 года назад

    We've got a full size washer that we never use because, like you, there's only 2 of us. And having one half the size, with less than half the water/power consumption would be excellent.
    I'm gonna check that out now!

    Great choice with the dishdrawer, installed mine just over 9 yrs ago and best decision ever. Low water/detergent/rinse aid use makes for perfectly clean dishes etc every time. Would never go back to the old large type dishwasher again. Tiles look great...porcelain splashback (and floor) here too!

    There is literally nothing else in my RUclips subscriptions or recommends that even remotely resembles this channel. It’s mostly MMA/VIDEO TECH/STREAMING TECH. But I got hooked to your channel when you were building the camper and now I’m just too invested to walk away.

    Any job well done is a good one when you get to enjoy the result.
    Even if you hate tile work, having well done tile that lasts for decades is an accomplishment to be proud of. I think the large format is great especially in areas needing frequent cleaning.
    Jobs that suck are the ones that don't turn out well or you know you'll have to redo later, especially if it's hard and dirty.
    I hope you have lots of good jobs!

    The #1 question with a Fischer Paykel dishwasher is are your dinner plates small enough? Having the controls on the face is really nice. Mine are on top of the drawer face and a bit of a pain. Thanks for the smart switches reference. I have a few locations that I need to retrofit them. I'm thankful for convincing my wife on glass small subway tile for the kitchen tile back done a few years ago.
