Goooood Morning ...!!!
Goooood mornin'!
Remove the backsplash & start over. Install it yourself, it’s not that difficult. You’ll save a ton of money. Always love your videos!
Thanks!
My husband and I really enjoy watching you two. Remodeling on your own is hard work but rewarding! My advice....get what you really want don't settle for second place. I settled for second place, and it only took a few years to have regret,but I have to live with it as retirement doesn't allow for expensive changes!
Thank you! Great advice! We know whatever we choose, we will have to live with for a while, too, since we aren't the change with the trends type of people!
Take the backsplash down - the old paneling - and sheetrock - run electrical as needed as junction boxes hidden behind walls are not to code (they need to be accessible to meet electrical code if there is a splice in the wiring). Get rid of wiring that terminates in junction boxes and run new romex. .It's not that hard.. Looking Good!!
Thanks for this information!
Do yourself a favor with the septic sitting dormant for a while have it pumped and maintained may save your self a few thousand in the long run
Thanks!
So glad your central a/c was a relatively simple fix. Well done. Congrats on the mailbox. So excited for you all. What a wonderful homestead you are building!
We were glad, too! Thanks! It's all coming together...slowly!
I went with the large old farm style mailbox. It is great so the magazines and large mail can go inside.
I love those old farm style mailboxes!
You can add a dollop of vanilla to paint. Doesn't change the color of the paint. BUT does take away the smell.
We had no idea! Thanks for that tip!
Thank you for the mattress. I am loving it. 🛏
You're so welcome! Thank you for your honest feedback on your NEW Brooklyn Bedding mattress! We are thrilled to hear you are loving it!
Glad the A/C was an easy fix! You guys are making great progress on your new house, congrats!
We were glad, too! Thanks so much! It's all coming together!
Rip it off and do it all fresh. I might go as far as the studs for rewiring for your appliances especially in the cabinet for the microwave. All updated and new. The kitchen is the heart of a home! even if you don't cook in it lol.
I think Kevin agrees with you on taking it to the studs! You're right, even if we don't use the kitchen to cook much, it's still the heart of the home!
A fresh start is always better, maybe more complicated but better in the end
You're right!
Remove the backsplash….redo after you have your cabinets! Ive done three kitchens and its much more simple and cost effective.
Thanks! Great advice!
I absolutely love the team work. You all are so awesome. You both have deep respect for each other & it's incredible inspiring. I actually wish More of us could be as the both of you. Thank you. I always feel as if I'm visiting with my past family as I watch your family. Thanks again for being yourselves with me. 🤗💯
Thank you! I think 3+ years RV'ing together helped us in the teamwork department. When it's just you and your partner the majority of the time, you learn quickly how to work well together if you want to remain a happy couple! I respect the heck out of Kevin, not just because he is the hardest worker I know (who can fix literally anything), but he's also an amazing dad and husband to our family!
Brooklyn Bedding is the BEST ever. Congrats Diana! 🎉 Another great video!
Yes, it is a great company with a great product! We are so glad to hear that Diana is enjoying her new mattress! Thanks for watching!
Fun times! There is light at the end of the tunnel. And at least it’s not a train! I agree, remove the back splash. Do it right! Of course that goes without saying 😁
Yes, there is!
Rip the backsplash off and start new😊….I hope we don’t find Alecia passed out slumped over in a closet with a sander in her grip!…Please rescue her from that sander!!!😂😂😂
At one point, I thought you might find me passed out with sander in hand! It was time consuming tedious work! Now I have the main living area to finish! Just can't get the motivation to start again!
I swear you can fix anything. Brooklyn Bedding is awesome, and made in the USA! 🎉🎉🎉
Kevin is a man of many talents! Once he understands how something works, it's just a matter of finding/ordering parts and fixing it himself! BB is an excellent company with a great product! We are proud to have them as a channel sponsor!
Blue store is sad now.
Glad you got safety stuff.
I am amazed how quickly you pivoted from your RV to the house.
Awe, don't break Kevin's heart about the Blue Store! He just loves that place! Yes, we quickly realized we needed some safety gear! I guess not having the RV to fall back on helped with the quick transition!
It is so fun to tune in and see the progress y’all are making. Alicia- I hate sanding too. Breaks my arms! LOL
Love the mail box. Xoxo
We are so glad to hear you are enjoying these videos! It does break your arms sanding! And makes me feel like I am humming for several hours after I'm done!
@@PavingNewPathsYes!!!! I agree with that hummmming!!
Xoxo
Rip it off and do your cabinets then do new backsplash
We agree!
Kevin I think that you should consider doing consulting work on the side your a natural
All new at this point, make sure of your decisions, once they're ordered and paid for they're yours !!
Isn't that the truth?!?
KEVIN got that A/C working like no body business...Hooray it's to hot without Air-conditioning.. Can't wait to see it Done... Both of you're making some great progress.Keep up the great job.❤😁😁😇🙏
Yes, he did! It was way too hot without the A/C! We are glad to be making forward progress!
Congratulations Diana!!! 🎉
Yes, congratulations! She commented above that she is loving her new mattress!
My favorite thing of my kitchen renovation was cabinet math and moving things around in a spreadsheet until it was exactly the way I wanted and was the most useful layout. Including measuring pans and dishes to make the most efficient use of space. I don't know what that says about me😀
I noticed a Kitchenaid under the sink, you know there's a pull out mixer lift that goes into a cabinet. I love mine! And drawers, get drawers for the lowers, you won't regret it.
You and Kevin would get along great! It's been one of my least favorite things! I've seen that mixer lift! It looks so cool!
what a great piece of property for your children to grow up on The mailbox makes it official!
Thanks! We are officially official!
Remove and replace backsplash. Probably save as much as it would cost to get custom cabinets..
Right!?!
Two of the best part of my cabinets is a small upper & lower cabinet between my refrig and stove that is my husband’s coffee area and the second one (besides my corner turn tables) is a cabinet specifically for upright cookie sheets & cutting boards. I wouldn’t have thought of those. I don’t like my microwave above my stove. Y’all will do good picking your own backsplash!
Me and my husband install ceramic for a living it's easy to install a new back splash , you want a lighter color back splash when having dark colored cabinets
Thanks for that suggestion! Do you think rookies like us could install our own, keeping in mind that Kevin is a pretty handy person?
hell yeah!! out door fan and capacitor replacement very easy and saves a ton of money on a service call. Great job!
Thanks!
I love the furniture in front of the fireplace. I think when y’all get the table in it will make since.
Thanks! We may try it once our other furniture is delivered!
Def remove backsplash then u don’t have to deal with adjustments in depth with cabinets! 25 yrs ago we had the back of our house extended! Which gave me a blank slate for a kitchen! Went to the Orange store (blue store didn’t exist yet) went in with my measurements on GRID paper! Well 3 mos later after many trips to OS I got the Kraft Made Maple, Shaker style doors & kitchen was done! Two mistakes I did; cabinets didn’t go all the way up to ceiling & farm house deep sink! Had to go with the cheap laminate countertops but that was a budget issue! 25 yrs later our kitchen still looks good, original GE (didn’t go complicated) appliances still hanging in there (all white)! So I feel your frustration Alicia but I was so proud of myself! Only mistake was a corner unit depth but it was the OS’s mistake not mine🤣
I would rip it off and start new, but I would try to stay with the same design because it looks so good with that countertop.
I’m with you Alecia , show me a picture, I’ll pick what I want. Don’t talk to me about measuring, doing math 😂
Exactly!!!
It's your design if you replace the old black splash and will be new to you, and plus, it will be easier 🎉
We agree!
Great video! I agree with Alecia on the measurement stuff. Just make it fit the way I want. Rip out the back splash now and save headaches and disappointment later. Then it will be how you want it. I have stained and sealed a lot of trim. I have never sanded it on the wall. You have the patience of a saint Alecia! Can't wait to see your choices!
Glad to see you up’d your game with the orange store Kevin 😁👍
Great video! I love how excited mom is for her new mailbox!
Hubby loves how Alecia is almost always smiling.
My vote is to start over with the backsplash. My advice is to choose a backsplash with not much pattern. As a Realtor, I've seen a lot of homes overdue on a pattern, then the kitchen looks "out of place," and buyers don't like it. I know you aren't selling, but I suspicion once it's installed, you won't like it either. :)
Awe, thanks! I try to keep a happy, positive attitude, as best I can! We definitely aren't pattern type backsplash people! I wish I could be that bold, but I tend to keep it safe and simple in my design choices!
When we remodeled our kitchen, we gutted everything 🤷♀️
Alicia Im just like you and your hubby is just like my hubby! I can't handle those details either. God bless you both! I'm looking forward to watching the remodel.
Thank you! And God bless you, too!
The prior owner might have put the mail box more lined up with the tree to help with deterring kids from knocking it down. Seems like no matter where you live knocking down mail box's is a thrill for some teenagers. I guess well fine out. You have such beautiful place.. God has blessed you!
Mail boxes have strict rules on height from road, distance from the road and on and on. If they don't approve the can make you replacement! Good job though. On everything
You might be right about that! We are blessed indeed! Thanks!
Like the new multi Kevin! Nice job on fixing your Ac. Good thing you can fix that that can be expensive. Love the new mall box. The mall box looks great next the your house. Sanding is not a very fan job. Got a tip for your. When your sanding do it in small selections. You can get very tired look at a big space you have to. Maybe just remove the back splashes. You can rent our buy a tile saw. It is easy when you get started. Yes! You finally go to Home Depot! That is my most favorite store. That is a nice power washer you got. Love the videos! Have a good day!
Goooooood afternoon Paving New Paths.
I would carefully remove the tile and reuse it to your design. Sounds like you would have enough not going around the window.
We may try to do that if it isn't too time consuming!
Could you take off the window frame to sand and make it easier to sand?
Possibly! We may have to try that in the main living areas, which we haven't finished sanding!
Of course you fixed it yourself!! Good job!!
Right!?! Kevin is Mr. Fix-It!
Well that was a here's you sign moment by the mailman .
Ha!
Coming along…. 👍👍
Yes, it is!
This is Texas! BUY BEER THEY WILL COME! lol. Guys are kicking some Paving new Paths butt! Way to go you guys!
Texas has the best beer! Just sayin'! Thanks so much!
Man I was sitting here waiting for your content
I'm glad you were!
Looking good, brother.
Thanks Greg!
I would replace the backsplash instead of trying to work around it. It's never going to match up perfectly and your OCD will know it :)
I think we will!
Great idea, rip it down, get new backsplash!!
You need to get a surface cleaner to go with the pressure washer.
Yup not a fan of the back splash around the window. Poor Alecia - before the air conditioner was fixed you just sounded drained.
Glad you’re using a mask/filter … I commented on Kevin’s channel about that when he used the blower.
Start fresh
We think we will!
remove it much easier to not work around old tiles
We agree!
You need to get a turbo nozzle for your pressure washer it does a whol lot better enjoyed the vid.
Thanks! We will look into that!
Looks great. Hard work. ❤
Wish I lived close to you guy’s, because I would love to help you out.
Awe, thanks!
Was it humming because it didn't know the words?
ha ha ha!
New back splash
What happened if you don't like it how would you ship it back to them
I will assume you are talking about the Brooklyn Bedding mattress, if for some reason you don't love it they will pay to have it shipped back to them!
Kevin, I have a question for you. In all your ventures with the momentum, have you ever had to pay a separate electric bill during your stay(s).
Thanks.
We did several times! Usually long term stays like over a month, there were several places that have a meter and bill you for electric!
@@PavingNewPaths
Thanks for the quick reply.
Kids clearing the messages. Lol
Ha!
Remove the backsplash and start fresh.
Yes, new backslash. You'll find it better in the long run.
Math is for left brains, not right brains. Sometimes, I think my brain is a down the middle brain. It can't decide whether to be logical and organized or creative. Hahaha
Y'all are making headway toward moving in. I bet you are already there by now.
Changing out the motor & capacitor saved yourself some moola! Good for you! By now, it's so hot and humid here in SE Texas, it's yucky.
I'm like you and think I'm right down the middle on left and right brained! We are ready to move in, but not quite there yet! It's been raining non-stop here, but we have a four-day window of little to no rain expected, so now we are getting that hot and humid Texas weather!
@PavingNewPaths it has been rather wet, raining, and storming. Good luck.
Rep it off😅
YES!
Kevin don't you work
All the time! I have a separate channel all about my job you should check it out!
