FIRST SHOWER INDOORS AFTER 4 YEARS! 

Friendly advice: Send that flimsy rod back. Get a rounded rod with a ceiling drop mount for more shoulder room. Set the ceiling mount 2/3rds toward the rear near the window. Use two standard curtains. You will have far more selection and they will be better quality and cheaper in the long run. The one closest to the water will be extended tight, the one farther back toward your window will not unfurl fully. Then put extensions on your rod rings for more light inside the shower and so the outwardly curved shower curtain lands inside the drip pan to keep you floor dry. Magnetic strip on the inside of the shower lip and magnets sewed or glued into the hem of the forward curtain keep it from billowing out from the steam and drip flooding the floor.

It’s a red letter day for you two…put it on your calendar so you can keep track of all that you conquered. In the mean time, all your “family fans” are doing our happy dance! Oh, and the kitchen tile looks great! Congratulations! 🥰

A quick tip: When you drill on tiles, just put a sticky paper on the tile where you need to drill as it will prevent the driller to move around.

Just watched last year’s video! Wow! Omg a year later, I’m so amazed how much progress has been done! 🪚🪜🔧I could have never imagined how beautiful and wonderful your home 🏡has turned out to be and more importantly how much dedication and Love have poured into making your love nest. I can’t even express how proud of you two I’m. You are very hard working honest people. I’m so happy that you expanded your home and family! Your journey has been incredible to watch, thanks for sharing! I can’t wait to see what other projects you will come up with since you have two little ones! An amazing playground would be so much fun for your little kids and you have to make them a tree house right!? 😂 And a outdoor permanent 🚿shower you can use during the summer months! ☺️

The curved rod gives you a lot more room in the shower. I’m so excited that you finally have an indoor shower ♥️ Your house is amazing!!

After years of you guys sharing your journey of building your home when it was just you two and Bear the dog, I personally don’t have any comments about how you should do anything. I enjoy the whole progression especially the addition of those cute little children, well done.

Your house has turned out so beautiful. I have enjoyed watching your growth and all the videos that you have uploaded for us to watch. Well done. And a quick fix for the shower curtain is to just add another one… no one will ever know…. But it’s beautiful regardless well done you two!!!!!

Beautiful! And congratulations! Well done, you two!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I really hope that your RU-vid income is sufficient to keep you motivated and producing videos! Your tenacity and drive are admirable, your kids and dogs are cute as all get-out, and your personalities make me feel like we're old friends for years. But the real key to your longevity in the video business is your talent! While your show has that consistent feel and look that make the viewer so comfortable, the actual camera-work and most especially the editing just make every new episode a standalone award winner. Congratulations on every success, both big and small and please--KEEP 'EM COMING!!

I have never been more happy to see someone take a shower in my life!! I am so happy for your whole family. Beautiful job on all the finishing touches. The kitchen is gorgeous. Have fun with the finishes.

We lived in a camper for 7 years building a house. Our shower was also outside. I feel you!

Having lived in Kenya where some of the tub/showers we had were over 8' long or open-ended I bought two shower curtains. I over lapped the two together using the shower hooks to almost stitch them. It worked really well!

No matter how much i liked camping, one of the best parts were returning to a hot (indoor) shower! Can't imagina spending years without something like that

Nov 21, 2019 I came home from the hospital after a heart attack on the golf course. While recuperating at home I found you on RU-vid. I caught up on all of your previous videos and have watched everyone since. You guys are and have done a wonderful job on your home, we’ll done.

This has probably been recommended already after 3000 comments which is crazy, lol. I recommend just put up a steel rod , I’ve seen them before. It won’t bend in the middle. Love what you’ve done to your home. It’s just perfect for your family. I wrote before your video was over; just goes to show you that some recommendations you take with a grain of salt Lol 😂 Lol 😂. Glad you fixed your hiccup. Blessings to you and the family. 🙏🏼♥️ Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for your viewers. Dad you’ve done an amazing build on your home. Mama bear ♥️ I love your video taping/ videography. Going to enjoy your new big build (whatever that might be). Maybe a small barn or a place to build an outdoor greenhouse, or a state of the art conex build for all your outdoor gardening tools. Lol

One thing that is evident here is that you folks have an appreciation for the work and the finished product. I do not hear that from many people these days. I mostly hear, "Well we should have done it this way, or that way". Much pessimism or second-guessing. I know that indoor shower must have felt like heaven after so many outdoors. I am going to miss seeing you guys go when this is finished. You two are an inspiration to many!

I've finally figured out why i like y'alls channel so much. It is much more "homey" than other channels, so much more family oriented. Y'all have worked so hard together to build the American dream. Spencer you are going to make the worlds best family man, thats already apparent.. And Kenzie will, and already is being a great mom and the best supporting spouse a guy could ever ask for.. What a wonderful family you are. Thanks for the hours and hours of heart warming entertainment y'all have provided your viewers and fans..

Buy another shower curtain to match the one you already have and more curtain rings. Overlap the curtains about five rings in the center and rehang onto the rod. The curtains should look like one curtain when bunched on the right and provide the width you need when showering.

I say MAJOR milestone❗✔️ 🥰 How blessed you are to finally have an indoor, heated shower! 🙌

“Baby I want some enthusiasm…” and his answer his priceless “I am not an enthusiastic kind person …”. For a small bathroom looks great and his solution was perfect , I don’t think that rod is going anywhere. I bet it felt so good to shower inside, later u can build one outside to use in the summer . 💜

Highly recommend a curved shower rod! Made such a difference to our limited space and I believe it would be the perfect fit for you guys! Keep it up🙏🏼

Got an idea. Get another shower curtain just like the one you have… add another 5-6 curtain hooks and overlap the shower curtains so that they cover the entire space. Should look good and will resolve the issue of it being a larger space than the average curtain width.

How awesome is this! Turned out wonderful! Love the pattern of the backsplash in the kitchen too! So excited and happy for y'all! 🥰💕🤗

The workmanship exhibited by both of you with no experience is unbelievably excellent. Enjoy your home!

I can’t believe I’ve been watching y’all for 4yrs funny how time flies by so fast good luck on the rest of the home ❤️🙏👍

I really like the way you close out each episode. Wonderful editing, but sometimes it disappoints because we know the video is ending…too soon. ❤️

I am so excited for ya'll certainly you have gone without basics for 4 years ! Such a inspirational family love your channel so much.

Wow - the mosaic tiles on that kitchen backsplash really pops!!! Love all the small details in the master bath. Amazing how far you have come in the build. Down to the little things now. Excited to see what other projects you have planned? Fan from Cincinnati.

For the Curtain rod you could get a piece of Stainless tube, and have them cut and thread it at the Hardware store. Then put threaded flanges on the ends of the rod. Also with that you could polish the tube down to make it look finished

The beautiful simplicity of your home makes my heart happy. I've found myself moving to reduce and de-clutter after each episode. Watching Spencer put the flower pots together and complete the look was a moment 😊 truly beautiful spaces and wonderful Lovely people.

Y’all are truly on of the most adorable couples on RU-vid. I’ve been following since nearly the beginning and it is so cool to watch that no matter how much your subscribers has increased you both have remained true to who you are. Love, love the privilege of watching your journey.

You can buy a second shower curtain -- I had to do this in my bathrooms (ex-large shower stalls). It' a really pretty bathroom -- love it!

You can get two of the same shower curtains and put them together that'll have a nice draped effect and opening in the middle. That would look much nicer.

Depending on how badly you want to add some shower space without taking up bathroom space - you can get one of those Curved Shower Rods and if mounted properly it will bow the shower curtain out at the top while the bottom will still stay inside the curb (if you have the shower curtain hung right). If you want a stronger rod - I have used 1 or 1.25 inch rigid galvanized electrical conduit. It is very stiff and it doesn't rust! It is also not expensive!

Oh Guys, I am so thrilled for you!!!!!! Something so simple, and yet such a huge blessing to have one. You constantly surprise me at how patient you both are, and your ability to learn and grow and figure out a way to build something is so inspiring. I get so excited every time a new episode appears. You guys are awesome!!!

Wow! I'm so excited for you all. Your first shower in your home! Major milestone. You all have come a long way. So proud of you both. God bless your family.🙏💖🥰

Get a CURVED shower rod !!! makes a HUGE difference in the "space" feeling.

If you need to drill in tiles: put 2 pieces of painter's tape in a cross on the spot and the drill wont slip away. Also, just dip the drillbit in a cup of water to cool, less messy.

How exciting to take a shower inside!!!! So happy for yall

You guys are amazing! You fill your home with so much love that’s why you’ve seen amazing results ❤️

Get 2 shower curtains and do the overlap of about 2 or 3 holes (where the rings go through ). Make sure the gap is away from the water stream direction. I hope that makes sense. I did it in my irregular size shower and it worked great.

Two shower curtains would work as long as they're the same. Beautiful bathroom!

OMG! I actually cried when you got to take a shower in your home for the first time. Been watching all these years to see this moment. Bravo 👏.

Spencer & you deserve to enjoy this moment. The bathroom looks fantastic. And I bet the first shower was one you guys will both never forget. You both have shown such dedication & commitment to getting to this point. Thank you for allowing us to experience this with your family. The shower turned out so good. The whole room is light and bright. Love the plants....Maybe you could record the sounds outside at night to play while taking a shower. To remind you both of days gone by. May God continue to bless you both & your children & your 🐕🐶's. Can't wait for the next video.

Proud of ya Spence. Really happy for Kenz. You know we need more longer vids. 15 20 min not enough. Watch the weather and take care. Been with y'all from the first. 4 yrs really proud of the both of you

Everything looks great!!! Can't believe that you got to take a shower inside!! YAY!! Have a fun week enjoying that shower. Enjoy the kitchen too, love the tile in there. (From Sandi)

Shower curtain fix. Buy another shower curtain exactly like the one you have. Cut it in half right down the middle and get a seamstress to sew a half to each side. I'm a retired seamtress and designer/maker of all home fashions. That's the cheaper fix. Or the custom made route. If I lived local to y'all, I'd do it for free. Do the plastic inside the same way. I've made some fancy shower curtains in my day.

Beautiful!!! I love the smiles! Congratulations!

It would be really easy to sew a contrasting stripe down the side of the curtain to increase the width by a smidge. You could use a color (gray, the color of the plant pot, or pick something bright) or even a white with a contrasting texture. I would recommend adding a stripe to each side to make it balanced. You'll need 2 extra curtain rings to hang it.

I love to see this after seeing you go from land, to containers to this. To solve this shower issue, why not get a curved rod? Those curved rods give you additional arm room, but still attach the same way as the straight rods. I'm so happy for you!

Looks fantastic, great job on the tiles and finishing touches

Simply beautiful! Awesome job you two!

congratulations on this milestone. May you never lose your appreciation for the small things and what you have accomplished together. As always, all the best and thanks for having us all along for your adventure.

Spencer, you are truly a class act. You tile work is excellent and kitchen will be an accent piece and focal point of your home. The buds on your apple tree offer hope for a tasty autumn treat. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Peace

You guys have come so far and done such an incredible job. Well done.

It’s beautiful, we are so happy for you and your family.

Who else loves these guys!?!?!?!

Love the bathroom! How wonderful to be enjoying a shower in the home you two built! Also love the tile in the kitchen, looks great!

That bathroom came out so beautifully done. Simply and beautiful. Congrats!

Just buy 2 curtains and the bathroom looks beautiful 🤩 and love the kitchen tiles very sharp ! Can’t believe it’s been 4 years already ! ✌️💜

Can’t wait to see you guys finally getting around to putting in the garden.

i was a peace corps volunteer in northern albania and i understand full well the thrill and satisfaction of finally having a working shower after an extended period. this episode really took me back to that moment of appreciation of not having to deal with citywide water schedules and taking another shower using multiple 2 liter water bottles. thanks!

🙂OMG... What an amazingly beautifully self-made house and LOVING HOME !!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏

What I like about this couple, is that they project that they are real! Good hardworking people! I like to see other channels! But I like to see authentic people! They really worked their a..........s to be where they are! Keep up the good work!

You could add a dowel inside the 2 piece rod to add strength or a hanger. I got tired of not having a wide enough shower so I used a curved shower rod which worked out very well. The curtain still tucks in at you feet, but it will give you about 6 inches or so and it feels like your whole shower is very wide. Love your show!

You need the Curved Shower Rod that gives you more room when standing in the shower

Wow! I can’t believe you have an indoor shower. I’ve watched you guys from the beginning. When the two containers were delivered. You guys did an awesome job. I didn’t know about container homes until I started watch life unconfined. Now I’m looking for land, and I plain on getting 4 containers and have my house built. Also, you kids are so cute 🥰 congrats on you new shower. I’m really happy for you.

I love the decoration of your bathroom, and especially everything that makes your home container is a beauty of creativity. I adore you both as a French woman who has been following you since the beginning.

Curved shower rod gives you more width, stores without intruding into the space.

The day has finally arrived. We have been waiting patiently with you guys. This will make your life so much easier and better.

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years already. Glad to see it all come together. Congratulations! Y’all did an amazing job

Have y’all thought about using one of those rounded shower rods? I haven’t looked into the sizes that they come in, but it would make your shower feel a little more spacious. Great work, Spencer! You’re home is beautiful.

Looks good MacKennzie!!! I love to sew and you could always get a liner and use a sheet of any design to make yourself a shower curtain.

I'm SHOCKED you didn't go for a CURVED rod option. That would have made such a difference and given the feel of more room in the shower and fit in the same space on the wall. Just, WOW!😏🤷 Also, the rod placed so high above the sill was an interesting choice.🤔 Absolutely am in deep like with the blinds selections all throughout the house. EXCELLENT job 👍👍

Amazing so happy for y’all ❤️ you’ve come such a long way 🙏🏽

You can always upgrade later with a bowed out pole. Love it, looking GREAT!

I agree with the curved shower rods, if you ever want a change or a bit more room. Also, buy two of the same curtain you have. Just like a window has multiple panels, you could have two panels for your shower to have more coverage if you want.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!!! A shower indoors!! Enjoy it guys. 🥳🎉

Just when you think a fabulous kitchen can’t get any better, you pull a surprise!

I’m so excited FOR Y’ALL!!! Been there… only six months here, and that was WAAAY too long! Don’t know how y’all did it, but congrats!!! 🎊🍾

If you wanna call someone a perfectionist, spencer is the one, he does everything so perfect, the ideas with which he confronts an issue is amazing, finally your indoor shower is ready & kenz need not go out on those freezing cold nights with all those rattlers around (sometimes) love you all guyzzzz❤️🥰

I bet that first shower indoors was sheer bliss, well done on an excellent job, The tiles look great, When you need to drill holes in tiles use a bit of tape where you are going to drill. this prevents the drill from slipping. I know that you have finished your bathroom to a very high standard but you still have another bathroom to do, You are both amazing,

Such an accomplishment, so proud of you guy’s.☀️🇦🇺

That bathroom looks absolutely amazing ... great job :)

I would install a hotel style shower rod, the curved one so you would have that much more room.

Another great feature, shower and curtains.plants and shelves too.It looks great!, good job Spencer!

I agree with the comment about using a curved shower rod with the ceiling attachment to give you enough shoulder room or switch to a glass panel/ wall or a glass block wall that gives you privacy without blocking any light. You only need to extend the wall maybe half the length which would prevent the water from getting the rest of bathroom wet. Plus it is easy to fill the holes in the tile white silicone or something similar.

It is so great to see you put the finishing touches on after watching for several years. The best part of all is that you did it together with children along the way. It looks beautiful. So happy for you!

Go the custom printed shower curtain deal! (zazzle) I did years ago and had my own graphic patterns printed on both canvas curtains. The second one I then was able to cut the graphics into 18in wide strips and sewed to the center printed curtain with a proper seam. Came out fantastic. And then I used two frosted plastic liners (one cut short) as secondary protection. Now imagine that bathroom of yours with your "Life Uncontained" brand and logo upon it... or perhaps tree branches or a photo of your old shower setup outside as a memory now inside.

I have watched this process for well over a year now and I am so envious of you both for so many reasons like I wish my partner and I had been able to do everything you have done and to also have 2 children at the same time? Amazing. The hardships you have endured just everything you have accomplished KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!!

Make a curtain rod. It's a chrome pipe! Heck, I'd have put in a four foot glass brick wall. A square of vinyl and a grommet maker and you can make any curtain you like.

Your bathroom turned out beautifully. I love all the wood and plant 🪴 touches.

Love how it's all coming together. You're such an inspiration to all of us. I missed hearing your daughter talking in this one and helping daddy

For the shower curtain, you can buy a 2rd one, it will look fuller and nicer too. Congratulations to you guys on the finish bathroom, nice work !

May God continue to bless and protect you and your family! Only in ... America!

You certainly deserve a wonderful shower! It looks great! Your diligent efforts have really paid off on your entire house. 😁👏👏👏❤️🇨🇦

Bathroom looks awesome. For a shower curtain pole go to a tubing supplier and get a length of polished stainless steel tube. It's strong and most importantly it won't corrode and stain which is something all chrome plated ones do eventually.

Yayyyyy a shower!!! Congratulations guys ❤️

Fabulous Gorgeous Fantastic ! Love it & you. Thanks.

So very happy for you guys, had a little tear down my cheek with happiness. Love it. And we’ll done.
