Jeff, I appreciate how you treat your daughter. You treat her with such love and respect. Hannah is lucky to have you. Thanks for the video. I am enjoying watching you build this fabulous house for Hannah.
Go get a 33" sink. You have come this far, let's not start fudging the cabinets. Too much time and effort went into building and installing them. Just get the correct sink and be done with it. Trying to make a larger sink fit into a smaller opening not doing things the right way. You know it's wrong!
Agreed. So it's a couple hour drive. Probably gonna take a heckuva lot longer than that to fudge-up the counters to make the too-big one fit. The less fudging, the much better.
Calm down, His Girl is freaking out he's telling her something to calm her down. Tomorrow on her own she will come to the conclusion she want's the 33" and feel good about it cause her dad didn't have to do all the extra work.
He's not fudging on a critical structural part of the kitchen. He's just making an Avery slight adjustment to the aesthetic placement of the cabinetry. Will not be noticed . Architects "fudge" blueprints all the time. 3 more inches to the sink could be a game changer for someone that uses the sink often. Country folk uses the sink often.
It has been incredible to simply watch this project progress, so it must be so enriching for you both to be actually building it together. Thanks so much for sharing this journey-it's inspiring! I've only ever worked on masonry and RC concrete homes here in the UK, but one day I'd love to head to the US or Canada to frame a house 🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏🏼❤🔥💪🏼
That bench between the cabinets is cool...This is by far the most top notched awesome craftmanship that one could lay eyes using timber from your property and repurpose of materials. Daddy Jeff knows how to get things done for his girl.
Just clear coat. You can't improve perfection!! That has got to be the most beautiful home I've ever seen from start to finish. The character and craftsmanship is unreal!! If i went with any stain at all it would be something real light just highlight the grain in the wood. That house is coming together absolutely gorgeous 😍🥰😍
Definitely clear coat the doors. Option on wall in the bathroom is to antique finish it. Solid color of choice either forest green, dark grey like the cabinets or go crazy and think about a burnt red color as the base color then white stain on top of the color of choice then random sand it to bring out the solid color. Money is in the details and your choices are inspirational
I agree. I'd sell the 36 on Facebook or something to recover most of the funds. The sink kissing 💋 the dishwasher is a definite no go to me. Even someone "not in the know" will tilt their head lookin at that. Not a good reflection on a craftsman maybe it's just me.( long time finish Carpenter)
This house is going to be a dream house for sure! Thank you papa Jeff for showing us the journey of Hannah's house. I can't wait to see more future videos on her channel and yours of the house progress
Absolutely beautiful counter tops and woodwork. LOVE natural wood! Awesome build as always. You, my man, are the goat of building and actually anything you do!
If you can improvise, there is nothing like a dilemma. And you sir, definitly know how to fix this! I found a lot of inspiration on your channel how to fix or build stuff at my own house. So, thank you for your content! Btw, I would clear coat the doors. It will give a nice contrast to the gray of the kitchen. PS: Everytime Merle Haggard is running on my playlist, I have to think about your dog. (which even looks bit better for me, than Haggard 😊)
Hannah, your facial expression is good for the situation. Merle is a funny dog. Your dad looks like he is healing. My prayers helped along with everyone's.
Im loving that kitchen! I have 6 all wood cabins and have been in the construction business for the past 45 years. You are so right about the polly turning wood yellow. The first job i used it on was 150 year old re purposed heart pine and it is now orange. Beautiful job!
Starting to go from looking like a house to looking like a home ! Well done. Good to see you're moving around no problem Jeff ! Hope the healing up is going well ! DON'T overdo anything yet !
I would get the proper fitting sink versus getting everything all out of alignment and not uniform! Just clear coat the natural wood, and put up logs for your siding and you will have a masterpiece of a housey! Cheers mates)
If you're looking for a Polyurethane finish for your furniture that doesn't yellow, use the Helmsman Water Based Polyurethane. It stays crystal clear like the Polycrylic finish and won't yellow like the regular poly. Also, it is an interior/exterior finish so can be used outside as well.
We need to send Hannah to the Supreme Court. They have forgotten what a "Real Woman" is. And in congress, when they ask a contestant what is a woman, they can have Hannah to walk out and be their example. And she can be the example for other women to look up to when they forget what a woman is.
You can never go wrong with the natural wood look! I would just klear kote! Everything is coming along nicely! Good to see Jeff without the collar! Y’all stay safe!
Jeff and Hannah both, are worth the watch. We need more women like her personality and attitude to enjoy watching in here. Thanks for the update too, the house is looking good, and I find the kitchen cabinets kind of cool. Am retired cabinet maker
Hey Hannah, love the cabin! So glad to see your dad back up and at it. I haven't watched in a while and this is the first video I've seen with him back up and at it.
What a wonderful Dad you have Hannah. Mine (and I'm 51 year old tech founder/executive) still just yells at me. Ha! ;) House looks awesome! Love all the wood work. wonderful..
It's Ms Hannah's house and you're building it so y'all get to decide what and how it all gets done. My personal preference is for natural finish rather than stain. Contrast is nice but from these videos it looks like there's plenty of that. If y'all hadn't mentioned the sink measurement discrepancy and your solution I highly doubt anyone would ever notice it. That bench in the mudroom is a perfect fit. The desk you made for Ms Hannah when she was 13 is beautiful. The polyurethane yellowing is just patina that adds to the decor. Thank you for sharing this progress update.
I love the whole idea of that chandelier. Very very very cool. Love the oxen yoke which keeps it up too. I think I am going to have to take a screenshot of that, and keep it for my own place.
I had a custom cabinet business. I would rebuild the drawer cabinet to make space for the larger sink. The sink needs support, which is the only issue I can see with your plan. The issue with factory made cabinets is the use of engineered lumber, which doesn't handle water issues. Usually, a standard kitchen sink cabinet is 36" minimum width, for future plans. Good luck with making it work. This is what makes you a craftsman!
Great video and the house is looking amazing!!! I have an idea for the shelves next to the tub/shower. Might be kind of tough but to find the outside of a tree, a branch coming off as a door. The branch would serve as a towel rack. It would kind of look like a Vega pole next to the shower. Just a thought.
I'm a sucker for stained wood that darkens over time, I also do a lot of Shou Sugi Ban, which I use poly urethane on, then reburn it 12 hours later for a more dark red characteristic. So far nothing has yellowed but my oldest piece is only 5 years old. With that said, your craftmanship is so nice, either will look amazing, natural or stained! So jealous of your counter tops!
Jeff, last time I saw you, were in a neck brace, I guess God did answer my prayers (and many others I’m sure) House looks great so far, interesting blend of modern and rustic. I especially like that antler light!
