Constructing A Vanity | Building Our Own Home Ep.123 

Hi guys. I wanted you to know that the two of you are on my short list of favorite RU-vid couples. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been watching you videos for a while now. That alligator in your bathroom is crazy cool. Y’all are doing a great job with your house. And your little three foot timer is getting so big. What a blessing y’all are. ❤️🙏

I think you've done a great job! Lydia's right. You don't give yourself enough credit. That paper will be so nice and the green tile matches the gator. DUH!

The crocks on the squirrel almost killed me.... Hilarious!! I have some questions concerning the placement of the sink but I want to wait and see the finished project to see if yall answer them. Yall still look like you have so much fun working together. Its a treat every time we get to join in and watch what yall are up to. Have a fantastic weekend and see ya soon!

We love pickled herring, almost as much as we love pickled Northern Pike! 🥒 🎣 Excited to see this take shape! We laughed through this whole episode! From the romantic drill tutorial to crocs on the squirrel. 😂 so much fun!

I love the wallpaper! It has enough white spaces that the pattern is not overwhelming, plus great blue herons are my favorite birds.

Done alot of projects but I am amazed that ya guys always get it done with a smile. Keep up the great work!

Completely agree with Jim with making the countertop follow the shape of the sink, I think it'll look great! Keep up the great work!

I never would have even thought it was possible to paint a porcelain sink. Mind expanded.

The wallpaper is perfect for your bathroom! Love how unique everything in that room will be!

an idea: put some LED strip lighting under your vanity😊 Love Love that wallpaper❤

Absolutely great design with the wall tiles and the wall paper. The colors will go perfect with the floor. Having a laugh with the vanity. Hehehe. Great job guys. Can’t wait to see it finished. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

Croc Sporting Fury Hootis for the win!! (say that 3 times fast!!). Oh, and I sooo thought Jim jinxed the entire project talking about how the outlet heights being good .. so far. I was waiting for the "until now". Glad it worked out and can't wait to see the next phase. I do think the tiles are going to look awesome. Rock on!!

Ok. Golf lessons and squirrel shoes made me roll on the floor. 🤪 I love this look so far for the vanity. Can’t wait to see it progress.

Ladley putting crocks on the squirrel lol.. I can't wait to see how this turns out y'all ❤

Cool idea. Here’s a thought for you… you should get a Kreg pocket hole jig. It works so good for those applications where you need to toenail screws. Extremely strong. Anyway. Good job as always.

👍👍from me & 👍👍from the wife stay warm y'all getting ready for round 2 of cold weather here.

I believe unique is the word… if your gonna take the time to build your own home it might as well be unique to your flavor so far that’s exactly what you’ve done and I think that’s hootis cool

When I've built a countertop similar to yours, I added a steel angle to the inside of the wood rim to give it extra support. Screwes spaced about 6 to 8" usually is sufficient to take out most of the flex of the unsupported countertop. If you weld in a support clip that fastens to the end walls it will be even better.

You're a professional cabinet maker now!

Great. Love to see you guy’s do a floating counter. The kitchen cupboards came out beautifully. 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

Please make sure that the space you have left around the sink has enough room for you to put a soap dispenser! We didn't think of that when we fitted our corner unit and it's a pain.

I need a Bosch laser. I like how you guys aren't afraid to try even if you haven't done it before.

🤔🙊🙉🙈🦋The bathroom looks good so far. 🐘🙌💐🙏🌻Can't wait to see finished vanity with the green tile. 😄👏🌞✌️🌼🤟💮Blessings 🙏 peace, and prayers 🙌🎉👍😊♥️👐🐕🖖💮🤟🌼✌️🌞👏😄👋

You guys are going to have the coolest bathroom, looking forward to seeing it all come together. Hope you were able to use the fireplace during the cold spell. Spring is hopefully on its way😊.

I did that fancy cut for my baseboards because I didn't trust myself to cut the 45 degree angles properly for the corners. I cut an inch off the top of one and just made the other board stick out an inch to fill that gap by removing the 3 inches below it. Fit like a puzzle piece if that made sense. I don't have one of those fancy miter saws.

Love the tile choice and the wallpaper. Who knew squirrels and Crocs went so well together!😂 I'm looking forward to your next video!

We like your common sense, approach to your projects. Success to you.

I never thought wallpaper would come back!😳

Jim you sure know how to get out of the dog house.....lol .. but the idea of the sink off set off of the wall,is a good idea, but the squirrel well lets just say that it took me a few minutes to get off of the floor....😂 And the idea of following the angles of the sink is a good idea as well.... stay warm....

I like the vanities with the legs on them to

Alligator on the floor and ditch chickens on the wall, I like it. 🙂

I'm sure the craftsmen have their opinions, but I also think they are pretty darned impressed, as I am. Love the plan, and love the wallpaper. The tiles are great as well. I can't wait for the next video!

Wow, I really like the wall paper. I am looking forward to seeing the end results. The squirrel crocks were hilarious.

Another very brave move best of luck to you 🤞

Great job with everything. Loved Ladley's Crocs on the stuffed squirrel 😂 Shes so cute.

She's adorable 😍

I don't even have a project in mind, but I NEED one of those lasers! (Alas, there were projects in the past already completed where it would have been great, but I got by with levels! Still, I WANT a laser! Dangit!)

I love the idea of the tile and wall paper, it is perfect with the tile on the floor 😁. Ladi is so funny putting crocks on the squirrel 🐿️ 😂.

Greetings from Puerto Rico. I just love all that you guys are doing to your home. I love your chemistry. How did you guys meet? Tell us the story?

Oh, I love the look of the floating vanity! This is going to turn out REALLY nice!!! I can't wait til the next vid! And I loved Ladley's Crocs on the stuffed squirrel 😂😂😂

That was cute the squirrel with the crocks 😂! Lydia is right. That's what it looks like. Two people make pottery 😂😂😂! I can't wait to see what it looks like!! I hope y'all have an awesome weekend 🙏🙏🙏

Y'all do such a good job with cabinets. The kitchen cabinets turned out great. Ladly is so adorable. She is going to be breaking hearts all over LA when she gets older. 😆

When did y'all move to Scotland? your weather is what we get in one day over here,,, in summertime 🤣🤣🤣 Great work this week Cajun's - stay safe

I’ve used that Tub-N-Tile before and it works absolute wonders!!! Everything is looking absolutely awesome y’all keep up the fantastic work!!!

Now Captain Crocs has a Lieutenant Crocs

love the wall paper!

Thank you for your videos. You guys do great work.

Always enjoy your projects. Looking amazing.

Gonna be awesome looking forward to seeing it done

cool ideas love the wall paper you guys rock it

Love your bathroom decore choices!!!!!!!

You two are a fun couple to watch! Thank you for your wit!!

Interested to see how you work out the sink. It kinda seems awkward but I am sure you have it worked out and it will be awesome.

That floor looks great , you both are doing a great job with everything you’ve done.

Some of the local sawmills might have exotic wood to play with if a cabinet build. Nice floor finish, and silicone sealer to keep the bathroom odor to a minimum.Nice Video

I love the corner sink and you're doing a beautiful job on your bathroom 😊😊😊❤❤❤

That bathroom is really looking so nice. Everything that no one would have thought of doing is really paying off and working for you. Just be sure to use a quality adhesive for your wallpaper. With all of the moisture in a bathroom, you don't want your heron to go bad. 🤣🤣🤣 I'll show myself out. Keep up the great work.

Good morning Jim and Lydia. Great to see y'all, I've missed y'all. I loved Ladly putting on those crocs and her eyes, facial expression and little smile when thinking if Daddy would like it...priceless. As a suggestion for next time you have a situation when you need to use "the buddy system" on a single stud - try using a lap joint, a little glue, drill and screw. Viola, a strong joint without the risk of splitting or missing the anchor point. The room looks great and I love that tile floor. I also like the subway tile and color you selected Lydia. It's going to look great. One thing I"m unsure of is the size of the vanitey top, running the full length of the wall. Possibly it was simply for an anchor point as it is a floating vanity. I'll be following to see how it progresses. You guys are doing a great job! Have a blessed week ahead! Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Looking good 👍

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

Good job so far. I think it is going to turn out fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Good Morning Lydia, Ladly, Jim 😁, quick video 😃 ! Always Great seeing y'all creative projects !! That be different a corner sink!! Looking forward to seeing what y'all creative minds, with the remaining part of the vanity wall. 😊 That was cute what Ladly did to the squirrel 🐿️, croc squirrel be stylish. 👍😃 Good job Ladly! Well y'all wishing y'all a wonderful day and weekend!! As many say welcome to Louisiana where you never know what our weather will do next.🤔 Warm today Cold tomorrow warm again next week. 🤔

Great job today - bathrooms are just important as the rest of the home and you all are doing an excellent job - have a great week - love ya all more!!!

I need a new vanity in both of my bathrooms. I have been thinking of purchasing them from a big box store, but they don't carry any that really fit my measurements. So now I am wondering if I can do a custom vanity and will be watching how you get this done. Lydia, I enjoy the "commercials" that you produce because you find a way of making them fun. I am guessing that even though you applied the product with a paint brush and roller that it is self smoothing and doesn't have a texture. Is that correct?

Color if the tile is phenomenally great

perfect

Another excellent video y’all’s daughter is to cute with that squirrel 🤣 love your fancy notch in that corner can’t wait to see the finished results, y’all take care now.❤️😎🇺🇸

I think your plan will come together and you will have a one of a kind vanity.

Nice job as usual, nice to hear a lady say ther don't care about the extra half inch 2, you're on to a winner ther Jim haha,

BTW... the floor looks amazing. Good job Lydia.

Sink is going to be nice!

That enough with the inside of the house, let get back to the out side, like the container build.

I can't wait to see how this turns out. I know it is going to be great! :)

You guys have the craziest building methods and design. If it works for you, do it.

Looks good to me

Beautiful bathroom work AND beautiful hair. I know it takes some time to straighten naturally curly hair!

Jim It's okay to be confused. That way you're kind of forced to think a little more about what you're doing ( sometimes over thinking) 😊 Also you might be able to use it as an excuse if something goes wrong. 😊 I think your projects come out looking great. But, you can use not being a professional. It again allows you an excuse to mess up.😊 You're like me. To the average person something may look great, but we both know where the tiny little imperfections are.😊 Things like that bothered me for a long time until I saw that professionals aren't alway perfect 😊 Lydia As soon as you showed the green tile and wall paper. I could see the theme you were going for. Everything will tie into the alligator pattern Going to look awesome when it's all finished. Ladley was trying to make sure everyone had their crocs on even the squirrel 😊 So cute and funny 😊 As you have probably heard from Cody and Summer we are having some real cold snowy weather up here. Finally getting a break starting around the 20th. Hoping you make it through whatever comes your way.

I say you need another outlet - - - I have a built-in nook with 4 plugs - - - then 2 plugs by the vanity - - - my grandson lives with me & we each have an electric toothbrush - - - he has an electric shaver - - - I blow dry my hair - - - You can almost never have too many outlets - - - except my husband had put in 12 /2 plugs & 1 /4 plug in the sunroom measuring 12' X 16' - - - overkill

I always love watching. Wondering, with doing all the work yourself, how will that work for getting insurance? Will that require a certified worker to complete such things like water, electricity, etc.? Just thought would be good to explain for other DIYers like myself. Thank you for your fun attitudes and humor!

Love the black and red outfit Lydia 😊 Yeah, I’m the same with Jim, I’m not to sure about floating vanities 😮 Doing side jobs 😊 What’s the fallout fee to New Zealand 😂 Bigger tiles I think would be better? It’s actually nice wallpaper ❤ Did Lydia run the stud finder over Jim and find anything? 😂❤ Now now keep it kid friendly, Lydia sitting on the vanity we all know what happens there, dirty minded ❤😂😂😂😮 The sink looks tiny 😮 Your going to need a bigger one? It’s coming along nicely. They say bathrooms and kitchens sell houses, so it’s natural that the most time is spent here. Until the next video with Lydia…….and Jim 😢❤❤❤

Only one question…..why would you want the sink so close to the toilet? With all that space I’d have centered that sink or added two…..!🤔

Man, do I have questions?? but good luck😂❤

😃👍

💗💗💗💗

Woo Hoo I was the 3rd like and first comment! Nice to see yall again

I'd like to know why your shoving a sink so close to the toilet when you have that whole wall with counter? That makes it look a little off even when angling the base. I'm confused!! 🙄🇨🇦

Toujours autant de recherche pour la salle de bain. Bravo la petite bête 🦝a de jolies croocks. Elle. Concurrence le capitaine Jim. Bon courage les cousins cajuns. 👍😉😘👏🇫🇷

Them walmart drills really be hanging in there hu!? lol

Two 3 1/2" screws every foot is way overkill. That's probably a safety factor of 100 or greater. As a mechanical engineer we were happy with a factor of safety of 2. Regardless, love the channel.

Not sure on the choice of the sink. It is way too small for the room

👍🏻👌🏻❤️🙏🏻

*callout

💜🙏✝️

Now I'm confused. You have a huge vanity area and you put a tiny sink in the corner next to the toilet? It just seems like you will be cramped between the toilet and that tiny sink. Must have one hell of a makeup counter? So far good, so I'll wait for the end results. Have fun with your home.

Some of the things you guys come up with are to much!🤣

Just remember think sconca,

Ice in the winter must be that Climate Change.

Sittings on it, heck I think you could skin out a 600lb gator on that thang.
