You’re so welcome! And Thankyou! How did yours workout?

It’s an out swing door.

Thanks so much!

How so??

Thanks so much I appreciate that! It was only a few hundred dollars when I built it, but that was five years ago Prices have increased so much but I still think you could get something built well under what it cost to buy one premade The last time I saw an island sort of thing being sold in a big box store it was either a quarter of the size of this one or $2000 I think you could make it today for about six or 700

Thanks so much I appreciate that! The baby is here and healthy. We are doing great. Thanks so much for subscribing. I’m hoping to get more videos out ASAP.

no clue but I know a man who has more 😂 I’ll go steal some

@@dcwoodworks he’s gonna blame you for that just like how you blame him for taking your hammers lol

@quinnyuw hahahah. Facts. I also stole back both of my hammers today

@@dcwoodworks oh my goodness gracious

No I used L brackets! Inside the cupboards

Hey! I used SICO paints in Pumpkin seed I also love Benjamin Moore / Sheron Williams. Honestly any exterior grade paint depending on where you live. The stain I used was special walnut and dark walnut. Both are very similar. In the varathane gel stain. Hope that helps!!

@@ChshalatCh thanks! It really elevates the space!

@@ChshalatCh thanks!! I am going to build a fence next. Are you doing any projects??

I used an exterior grade paint. And gel stain on top!

You sure can just make sure that you use an exterior grade paint or stain

Thanks! 5 years in and it hasn’t moved. Are you installing one??

@@dcwoodworks Probably

I do but more so to apply the stain. Honestly it’s had like 6-7 different things there including all types of brushes because I wasn’t sure what was going to work. And some worked better for different areas. Like the corners etc. I’m glad you liked it!! Are you trying it out on yours??

You should! It’s so rewarding

Thank you! think you’ll ever tackle concrete?!

@@alliewhitehause haha I know right. But I knew in a few years we would be kicking ourselves and want bigger

I used a cotton cloth to wipe it off but I didnt press hard. the paintbrush was just a standard brush but its old so the brissles are harder but I think tat works better. does that help??

@@dcwoodworks yes thanks!

Good grief. Is this really what your doing

This is a question. I’ve been asked a lot. And although I don’t know the true answer from a professional. I do think it’s possible. What I would do first make sure that there are no visible signs that the ground beneath the existing concrete walkway is giving away or shifting Second, I would absolutely poor 3 inches or more of concrete over the top . And I would also probably double the rebar that’s it. don’t skip your relief cuts either in case it ships and cracks. It will crack in those joints. I hope that helps Maybe someone else can chime in if they’ve done this??

I sure am!!! East Coast for life

Are you Canadian?

@@dcwoodworks Nice! I am Canadian.Spend alot of time in Cape Breton !

@@mikehunter4731 amazing! Cape Breton is absolutely beautiful, I’ve been there many times. I’m just a few hours away from

@@dcwoodworks sweet m actually heading to cabot trail to update some cottages on the water in a few days!! Gonna make the move soon!!

I used L brackets. I forgot to film this part. But I put them underneath so that you can’t see them unless you literally lay on the floor. Lol

Aw, thanks so much!!! That means a lot. I hope you were able to check out some of my other videos. Good luck on future projects!! Let me know if you have any questions

Thanks so much! You could also see if your island is removable And build a taller base. Then you could just cap it in baseboard and paint it to match Good luck !!

Thanks so much and I’m so glad I inspired you!! Here here is the link : amzn.to/3XnmePn Let me know if you have any specific questions

There’s always one 🤣🤣🤣

I mean…. It is horrible….. Meaning that jackasses attitude! If you don’t like it move on… the random complaint like tell someone who cares

@@justinstevenson2061 I couldn’t agree more lol. But they feel better when they comment

Thanks so much!!

I just used 100% cotton rags. You can pretty well use anything just make sure it’s not Linty lol

Yes. I forgot the word MUD after I said the word drywall. Will you ever find it in your heart to forgive my catastrophic mistake 🤣🙄

There is no odor. And all the garage doors on the property weren’t installed until the next day so it was essentially outside

Thanks so much!! It felt so good to stand back and admire. I’m very proud of it Did you want my other concrete videos? I just made stairs a few weeks ago!

I agree, everything happens for a reason.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a concrete pad without bird tracks. I work for a grumpy old bastard of a farmer and right outside the front door to our shop is a track in the concrete where a mother duck led her ducklings across, I have a silent little giggle everytime imagining him standing there cursing out the ducks as soon as he found out.

They’re so cool right?! I wanted to leave them. But I didn’t tell the right person on site. So when I came home from picking the kids up they had them smoothed out 😢

Oh wow that would be so cool!! The tiny baby feet

Thanks!! They are smooth in a sense that you can walk on them and there’s nothing sharp, but it feels nice on your feet. But they’re not smooth like glass. It won’t be slippery and wet because the technique has created enough texture to give you grip

Thanks! I definitely had a great pregnancy. And the floors leveled up the space so much!!

@@tomthurmon9211 thanks!! Did you watch the full video??

@@tomthurmon9211 here’s my concrete playlist. I never knew I would like concrete work so much! ru-vid.com/group/PLiRIq3hIB_vv83S5fR64sJ88HFB5g6kOM&si=_aFzyZ2NyANlceJA

@@catherinemarsh5453 of course!! Here’s the link to my full video where I explain each step. Let me know if you have any questions! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gy2i-z-YDco.htmlsi=Sbrx3BP-9S4CRvtm

I’m have the diy island video but I didn’t do too much else in there content wise. A lot is on my instagram @dc_woodworks But if you check out my latest videos, I’ve been a lot more consistent with posting ☺️

@@debrascott8775 thanks so much!! I just knew how angry I would be at myself if I didn’t prep this good. But I’m also glad to hear yours lasted a lot of years!! It’s a really great product I’ve been reading Thankyou!! We are so happy she’s here ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks I’m glad it was helpful!! I also just did DIY concrete steps. Did you see that video?? I learned a lot being my second “big” concrete job

@@dcwoodworks no, I’ll check it out though, I think that’ll be even more helpful for our project.

Your right. It looks SO good

Yahk, it doesn't look good to comment like an asshole, child. Good luck with the floor!

@@olamideDIY Thankyou!!! she is just a little angel 🥹❤️❤️

Thanks!! Big upgrade hey?

I upgraded them!! I suggest if you do spray paint to clean them really well and sand them after. Then do really thin coats. The problem I find with spray paint is people get too excited and put it on thick and it’s drips when the surface isn’t flat. Good luck!!

@@dcwoodworks thank you! We will prob just upgrade too!

@@Lindsicole-q5w definitely the biggest impact for sure!!

​@@dcwoodworksI just did my front door and LOVE it! Thank you for your inspiration! I wish I could send you a picture!

so… don’t grind the floor right??

Thanks so much!! I’m glad to inspire you 💪🏽 I love hearing it. you can definitely do it. Best part is you just do one at a time. It allows for you to correct any errors as you go

awesome work!! thats a lot to accomplish in three years. congrats!!
