I’m doing the same thing man, just recently lost my mom about a year ago, and now I’m back in the house my brothers and I grew up in. After my moms passing my grandpa was helping me with the renovation and sadly we lost him also about 8 days ago on my moms heavenly birthday on September 22. And it’s been tough going through grief and depression, but my grandpa always told me to just keep my mind and body busy with some old school hard work and elbow grease. And I just want to say thank you for showing us DIYers and helping me continue this journey for not only me and my brothers but for my angels watching over us! 🙏🏽

I'm not religious or anything, but when I saw this post it hit home ............a lot! In January I lost my grandfather. He was 94, a WWII vet, a father of four, and one of the funniest people I've ever known. I worked for his electric company for 4 years and he taught me just about everything I know about industrial control systems. His death was expected but still hard. 2 months later, my mother died of Parkinson's disease. We were not very close because of who I remind her of but it still hurts. So now, here I am, doing word work and running our micro farm. I can just hear ET, thats what everyone in the family called him, telling me that it doesn't matter what you do as long as you stay busy and do things that are visibly productive. That way you will never think that the things you do are a waste of valuable time. He was a wise dude. I will miss them a lot.

Looks great Mike! I'd be very interested in a 1 and 2 year check in on how the concrete skim coat on the countertops hold up because I am very skeptical of it's long term durability, so it would be cool to see a follow up. Most importantly though, removing the load bearing wall was done incorrectly and is possibly unsafe. Please hire a structural engineer to evaluate the conditions, and detail proper connections when removing structural elements in a house/building. I am a structural engineer so this doesn't sit right with me. I don't want to be a downer though, I am a huge fan and love your channel. I just don't want other people to do this themselves.

We did quartz counters so I was definitely not installing that! So many mistakes were made too. The project was the biggest DIY project Id ever taken on. I opted for an induction range for my stuff as well. I had pans that were rated for induction and its much fast to heat up stuff. I love that thing and it was a little bit of a spluge. 😊

Induction Stoves use magnets to excite the metal in the cookware thereby heating it, which has to have some kind of magnetic metal in them. This tech allows changing the heat to be more like cooking with gas. The "burner" area doesn't even get hot other than from the radiant heat from the cookware, and they usually have sensors that will turn off the stove after it stops detecting the cookware for a while as a safety feature.

Tip from a contractor: cut the hole on your caulk tube smaller and at a 45 degree angle. No need for windex or for getting it all over your hands. Cutting steps out to get the same result.

An induction cooktop works by transferring heat into a coil or iron pot sitting on top of it. You will have to cook with mostly induction made cookware from now on, or cast iron. Bonus is, it doesn't work with anything that isn't made for it, so it's harder to accidentally catch the house on fire.
