Jay reminds me of my grandfather! Every summer he would stay with us a week of his vacation and we would work on a project. I remember plumbing, electrical, block laying and closing in a porch. More come to mind as i type this. Jay, you have fone a wonderful job and Abby will remember this the rest of her life! 😊

During the winters my brother would put his dryer hose in a special bucket that has water in it. The heat helped heat part of the basement and the water in the bucket would catch the lint and add humidity to the whole house. Weird, I know... Also my son is a plumber and suggested to wait for drywall in case you have leaks. Im sure you're already done by the time you posted this so the suggestion is nil lol😅

It's getting there, every little bit helps toward the process. I, personally would have insulated the walls between the laundry and the bathroom. Would assist with sound and since you're in a cold climate, seems it would keep the interior more cozy and bath water warmer for longer, just my opinion. REQUEST PLEASE - Since you're getting into purchasing facets, shower pans, etc., all the fun, pretty stuff. It would be nice if you linked the products, where to purchase & cost. Some viewers may be in need of similar items for renovations in their homes, always good to share information. I will be renovating my bathroom later this summer; taking out the tub and installing a walk-in-shower. TY It would be nice to see a bathroom get finished, at least a working toilet and maybe a sink. That's a lot of time working on this house without that convenience, time to reward yourself and Jay!

All wiring and plumbing should be done before Sheetrock. Pressure testing the plumbing should be done so that if there is a leak, it's fixed before everything is closed in.

"Don't freak out but we are making some serious progress here.". Ah ha, I love that statement. 😊. I need to go back and watch again to see some details I missed. One thing I did...notice is you using your toe on the drywall square, also you can hang it on the stored sheet behind the pc your working on, so the square does not tumble over..I guess my bosses beat that in my head which is a good thing, they were picky which I appreciate, because I can cut corners now, but I can always go back to the way I was taught which is good.. Anyways..., you and Jay like mental telepathy, working so much together, you read each other so well, neat to see that. Nice work. Thank you.., your starting to get more experience than your viewers. Ah ha, Carry on. (I have some catching up to do, hello to All, clearing some serious ice this Spring over a foot thick! Snowbanks still 6 foot tall but they are starting to faid, then we get some more, but I enjoy the seasons including Winter in the land of the Midnight Sun. Take Care. With Love.
