When we think back at the first time you gave us a tour of your future home, I only saw the mess and hard work you that was before you. It was difficult to envision your dream . You never gave up and had a hand in everything. All that messy dusty clean up and the trips up and down the stairs…. Your dream has become ours I am an 80 year old grandma and am so proud of you and I am sure your parents are too.
The fruits of your labor are starting to pop out everywhere, the paint, the built-ins, the sinks, and now the tiling. It looks spectacular. Good job, Abby and Jay!
I am sure Jay knows this but when you do the caulking fill the tub with water. It weighs it down. Otherwise it will pull it down if it was empty when you did it
Yes, and remove any grout before you caulk. I didn’t know this tidbit but saw a tiler mention that you want the space between the tub and tile free of grout and then you can caulk.
Perfect Abby !! I'm SO proud of you and your willingness to learn new things !! Now you can add tiling to your long list of accomplishments in the remodeling of your home !! It's gonna look amazing when it's all done !! A BIG thank-you to your awesome instructor, Jay, who guided you through the entire remodel !! Good man, Jay !! May God bless you ALL !! 🙏👍🙏🇺🇸
You keep having the best outcomes at “beginners luck”. I’m not convinced you don’t know what you are doing because you knock every task out of the ballpark and the results are always gorgeous. Ms Abby, you and Jay are a very impressive team.
Since you didn't go down the sides of the tub , I would suggest the waterproof baseboards. Also, you can whiten your tub jets by painting hair bleach on them and putting in a ziploc bag and put in the sun. Then rinse off.
I just started watching the video and am really wishing you had put a spacer between the tub and the bottom row of tile. Yes, this will be caulked, but there should be a slight expansion gap that the caulk goes into. Your thinset looked a little dry and thin layer. I hope your tile stays up. I've loved all your videos and your journey. The house is looking great.
Abby, I’ve watched every single video from the start. What an amazing transformation! I am amazed at your vision you had and absolutely love your color choices keeping everything natural, calm, and just gorgeous! Excellent job! ❤️❤️❤️
Good job!! It's funny how things that seem so intimidating, aren't that bad if someone shows you a step at a time! Your willingness to put your time an energy into your house is amazing! I know a lot of people that would have stood around and expected everyone else to do all the work!
You did a great job tiling Abby with thee help of Jay cutting the small tile pieces. It looks beautiful and your bathroom downstairs is coming along just fabulous 👌 .. God bless you both and keep you safe 🙏 ❤️
GREAT TILING JOB, ABBY. Master of all trades. You could flip houses and make money that way. My son and daughter-in-law do it and it's pretty profitable for them.
Just as a tip they all say when you're wiping your washing You're grote off that You should always go on in a circular motion And that way you'll never white more out of any one of your growth lines, making them tender and wider.
Looks very nice Abby, the back splash tile design is awesome choice. Can't wait to see the floor tile in place to pull the room all together. Great work !! 😊
I LOVE It- I Love It Lots!!!! Abby, your house becomes more beautiful each & every passing day! I find myself anxiously waiting for each Tuesday & Saturday to come by to watch your videos!
Abbey well done. Just imagine walking around your beautiful home feeling accomplished saying I did that ant that. Always love the joy on your face through all this. Very accomplished young woman. Well done girl. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, the tile looks sooo good and went on pretty fast! Your bathroom is gonna be awesome! Jay is such a confidence booster. I mean the tiling didn't seem too hard, but you had him behind you with all the knowledge and the right tools for the job. I could imagine myself doing this too if I had someone like Jay behind me. He is the best. Maybe shouldn't say, but that green T-shirt you wore the 1st day bothered my OCD brain with the apostrophe S in "sponsors" , lol.
I am in awe of your willingness to learn doing things most people would pay others to do. This looks great and your bathroom is going to look amazing. Can’t wait to see how it will Look with the tiled floor. 😊
Wonderful tiling job, Abby. With Jay's help, you have learned so many skills. It will be nice if at the completion of the house, you tell us which skill you like the most. Will it be carpentry, drywalling and all that entails, painting, tiling walls or floors etc. Thanks for sharing this experience. Have a Blessed day.
I was taught every step in tiling is important but it can all be for naught if grouting isn't done correctly. Gotta keep water from getting behind a tile. Looks like you did a first rate job. 👍👍👍
You and Jay are definitely doing a great job on your home. You’ve come so far with your home improvement skills, you should be very proud. Things are looking wonderful. Keep it up, you’re on the home stretch. You’ll be moving in before you know it!
Abby, You did an amazing job on that tiling, i cannot wait to see the floor and the backsplash around your sink done to match. Have you thought about the ledge on the wall. You know the floor tiles can be a great option if you have the same tiles or are you going to do it in the dark wood. It maybe too much dark wood in such a small space but the floor tile is a great option and its easy cleaning too for plants if you put plants on the ledge water spills can make a mess of wood if the wood is not sealed properly. Just throwing it out there for you to consider. the bathroom is going to look totally amazing. Well done Abby! You have taken to this destruction and construction like a duck to water. You are Rocking it!
It's already looking polished and understated uxe - it's going to look like a beautiful boutique hotel. Excited to see the end result. Excellent job both of you 👍
Wow kudos that you do the tiling by yourself! That's one thing I am over at the moment as well, but I have my neighbor do that for me. 😁 The moving-in day comes closer and closer as it seems 😉 I feel very very happy for you! Big hugs for you and Jay! -Chris
Abby, I am soooo excited for you! After all this time seeing you guys work so hard, and seeing you are finally here at this point!.it's unbelievable to me it's already been 2 years! When I'm watching, my mind keeps going back to when you were doing demo, and I can't believe your here already!! I'be done a lot of tile work..but never wall tile..you & Jay are teaching me today. Love you guys!
