- I am SO EXCITED... today we are building a board & batten wall with HIDDEN DOORS in one of the upstairs of my fixer upper house!! It came together so perfectly!!
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

Like how the carpenter doesn't have an ego...he respects the homeowner's opinions...he does things to her liking...instead of his own....he's a class act...👍👍👍
He is a close family friend. Just in case you didn't know that 😊. Jay has been there from day 1. He is amazing!
agreed and she is so excited
Yeo, we all love Jay here in the commemts! He is great! He reminds me so much of my father- in- law, he could do anything he put his mind to and had a gracious personality. And God blessed me with a son just like him.
Jay, you are such a wonderful carpenter and wonderful man! Your wife is so lucky to be married to you all these years ❤
You and Jay work together so well. He’s a wealth of information and is very generous with his knowledge. He seems like a totally great guy. You, Abby are pretty fearless when it comes to trying things. You’ve got some great ideas to boot.
Jay is a real craftsman it's nice to have the right tools to do the job looks stellar
The doors that are “hidden” are called gib or jib doors. You usually seem them in high-end homes or public spaces for staff to move freely behind the scenes. Very nice touch to your house!
Jay is a wonderful man and I am happy that you realize that and respect him as you do. Some people don't know how to do that. Your parents have raised a fine young woman!
Will you please get/make some saw horses? So much easier for both of you, especially Jay!
Abby, this is a very creative and very functional storage or "safe room" solution. Hats off to you and Jay.
All I can say is Jay is sooooo amazing. A wonderful man. 😍😍😍
Jay is the man, to take your vision and turn into reality good job Abbey 😊
Love Ray he is a decent man. His wife must be wonderful. How blessed she is.
An old wonky house has character and that's good and interesting thing!
It's all coming together Abby! I'm excited for you.
Abby, your storage solution is a very clever idea! Jay sees your vision too. It looks so cool! You are fearless girl!
That looks fantastic. A drill and a dream and a Jay can accomplish anything!!!
You made a BF for life with Jay. He is wonderful, and is teaching you soooo much.
You could even use a magnetic lock so the doors will feel like solid walls and keep a magnet under your bed to unlock it. 😊
Once again, Jay worked his magic in fulfilling your dream. The two of you are such a good team. The doors look so nice. 😊😊😊
"Done is better than perfect" is my motto.
13 years ago I had to envision my new kitchen….a new build to our home. That was hard enough! You’re doing something much harder with an older home…your dreams and visions are much harder than what I faced and I’m “tipping my hat off to you”! Believe I had it much easier…. You, Jay, and all who are involved are doing great work! ❤️
I have been watching it since the first episode
And every week I can’t wait for the next episode sometimes two episodes
Two months ago I had a massive heart attack and multiple strokes and watching you is most favorite part of the week
Thank you
Great job Jay and Abby! Love it! It looks amazing! Have a beautiful blessed night. 🙏
Jay is a genius at bringing your design to life. Looks good!
I would not paint them white I would stain them maybe the color that you stained the bathroom wood that you did in there I think that would pop and be better than having a wall looking like a wall.
Definitely an amazing. opportunity to showcase. the the wood grain in some unique way
I love the hidden closet! You and Jay do such perfect work!
Welcome a board, Gauge. You have a nice employment.
Picking my jaw off the floor to say Jay is amazing. 😮 such a unique and beautiful storage idea.
So pleased Jay could fulfill your mind picture. Love it. Well done you two.😊
My dear Abby it's always nice when things come out the way you dreamed them !! My hats off to both you and Jay !!
Everything is coming together! I worked with someone like Jay when we remodeled our 100+old farmhouse. It's really an amazing experience to plan and complete a whole house project! 💯❣️
Abby, I truly believe you have missed your life's calling! You & Jay make an awesome carpenter team!!!
Abby, you have such a cute designer house!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🏡🌻🌻🌻🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This may be one of my favorite things I've seen you guys do lol. This is so good!!!
Jays one in a million Abby your a lucky girl
What a great idea you had and Jay brought it to reality.
Awesome prohect!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🌻🎶🌻🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great idea on the doors! They will be beautiful when they are done! I love how well you and Jay can work together.
Love the doors, they look so nice and finished. Can not wait to see them painted.
I love your idea to hide the storage area!
I love every square inch of your “wonky” home!! Thank You Jay 👍😂
Jay, nice work sir.
I've built a few hinged bookcases for hidden rooms. That type of hinge is the way to go! It's always fun to see the expression on the customers face the first time this big book case swings open. Once again, great job, Sir!!!
You are so lucky to have Jay helping you! He is amazing and the doors/wall looks great !
This is so beautiful and high end looking! Your hard work is really paying off!
Great you have closet! Awesome!
I like your way, Abby !! That's why they invented caulking - to fill gaps, without re-engineering it !!
A lot less work, especially as you're going to paint !!
It's really starting to come together! The hidden closet will be excellent storage.
Looks good, can't wait to see the finished project
I'm a HUGE fan of hidden doors
I am so impressed what you decided to do and how well you and Jay work together. I sure like it. Can't wait till you move in!!!
You make a great team. Exciting how fast it's all happening now.
Very Nice , Good job Jay and Abby progressing nicely .😉😊🥰
awesome! it's so nice to see the woodwork going in and to get back inside the house
Word of the day, " Wonky " 😊
NICE IDEA
I'm just gobsmacked at how fast this is going, Abby!!
It's going to look beautiful 😍
You're right, Abby - it's been a while since you were last 'building' - I thought I had missed a few episodes - I hope not !! I've really been enjoying your remodel to this 'olde' house. It's been FUN !
Nice job "team" Jay and Abby!!😊
Very nice! You and Jay work so well together. Good to see him.
Love how you are making the most of all the spaces for storage…I’m jealous of it! Hidden storage is great too. I always wished I had stairs so I could have storage, hidden or a nice built in. House is coming along!- watching from Lake Wales, Florida
I was wondering how you were going to finish those spaces up and wow, I LOVE 'EM! Love board and batton and the wall is going to look so classy painted white!
You never in your life thought you would learn so much about house construction.your Doing a fantastic job.
If your bed is going to be in front of the wall, shouldn't the left hand closet door (as you're looking at it) batten board be on the other door? That way you can access that closet with at least one door.
Found this really interesting
You may need to swap where you attached the strip on the door on the left, as you said you may put a bed so you will need it to open on left, same as right
He is an amazing man!
Beautiful job
I have a space like that in my two upstairs bedrooms. One bedroom storage space is completely stuffed with Christmas decorations. Great idea to have two doors! I doubt you have shifting soil like I do in Texas or you might have sticking doors like I do at times…I truly know wonky!😅. Jay is so great to make your ideas work!
On the opposite wall you could recess a dresser to make it look builtin. It would make your room feel bigger.
Thank you for the videos, I love to see what’s happening. Jay is great and you’re just pretty alright as well.
Awsome work as always .Your dream is Jays carpenter puzzle too figure out . Love the hiden doors.
Sliding barn doors would look good on that closet space
What a great prayer closet!!!
Such a great idea- Love it! Suggestion- on the left door: if there is going to be a bed on that wall, make it so you can open the door closest to the WALL first so you can get into the storage without moving the bed. The way it is now, you have to open the right door first, THEN the left one near the wall. The door next to the window should work fine.
Absolutely love that hidden space.
You both do such nice work, it’s looking very good Abby❤
such a great idea and it looks amazing i think we all need a Jay in our life especially me wonderful work 😍
hello from Brunswick, Maine, US. Tuesday, May 21, 2024.
Awesome job, love the closet doors
Can't wait to see it finished
Fabulous idea on the closet doors. Looks great. ❤️😁🌹
Wow. I like all your storage. You can keep things and not worry that your house looks cluttered. I live in a one bedroom apartment and I have five closets. It is great.
Jay sure gets your visions, probably even when your not sure how to explain them😅
These are like custom made closets. Very nice indeed.
Can't wait for you to work on the window sills.
Did you put a light in you storage area. When looking for something some extra light is a bonus.
Yay..great job Abbey and Jay !
You should cover the plasterboard cause long term dust and other issues. Love the idea of hidden storage space.
This was exciting for me to watch because I was hoping you were going to do board' n batten hiden closet doors in this room. Lucky me!
Looks Great!! Jay, the hard things you can do, the impossible just takes a little longer!
That storage wall is so nice.
Looks wonderful Abby and Jay! So clever❤
You'll have your own little panic room!
Love the closet!
Love it!
So excited! Looking forward to the finished project, you work so hard
You are doing amazing well done ❤❤❤❤Jay what a fantastic person he is your so lucky to have him ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What a great idea Abby ! Looks Great !
It looks amazing! Dear Abby, Jay is teaching you so much stuff. There's no telling where you will go with it!
Jay good for you,you have made her very happy.🌺🌺🥰
Love the board and batten look 😃
Great idea. Loving the teamwork and def the wall
Oh, this is so cool!!! I love the secret doors!! Lol!! Are you drilling pocket holes without a jig? I love what you & Jay did!! 💕
Don’t forget that when you paint the doors it will make the top opening tighter
