    Wow, what a difference that cladding makes to your container. It now looks like a cozy cabin. ❤
  • The transformation of changing the windows and having all the tongue and groove cladding on the front is beautiful, now it all looks uniform. The tiles in the kitchen made such a huge difference in its appearance. You did an amazing job installing them. It’s all coming together nicely now. 😊
  • Omar came back to a new home! It's mind blowing the difference it made those windows, the tongue and groove cladding, the tiles in the kitchen, just everything!❤
  • Y'all are going to miss your container door leading out to the patio .. Plus you should always have a 2nd fire escape exit. But the container looks a lot better than before. Simon did an awesome job on the container and your mom's place.

    Andrea, you could put a row of traditional Portuguese tile above the subway tiles and that would finish off the height to come above the wall plates. It would also give a nod to your adopted country and be pretty. When you fill in the grout and the wall plate is on that lower unit, it will hardly be noticeable. The kitchen tiling and the wood facing on the front of the container look great! What a difference it has made. You are figuratively 'turning a pig's ear into a silk purse.'

    I ❤ how the wood on the front of the house and the new windows changed the look of it completely! The tiles in the kitchen compliment the butcher block counters. Everything turned out really nice, even though you were a bit disappointed at first with the kitchen tiles. It really looks professionally done and modern looking! Mothers help is greatly appreciated also. 🤗 Well done, all of you!😊👍
  • The transformation is turning out great! Your Brother-in-Law Simon does great work and I love his attention to details! Great job guys can’t wait to see it all come together! Saludos a tu mami ❤
  • It’s really coming together. I love that your dear mother is now a part of the team❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • @chantaln6843
    The tiny house looks lovely. Blocking the blue door is a great idea & the kitchen tiles looks terrific. Well done 😊
  • @myrah1600
    Absolutely beautiful home. And your tiling skills are amazing. Well done you must be so proud of yourselves 👏
  • @SusanZiegler
    What a joy to get rid of that white and blue box!!!
  • Thanks for charing your anti-inflammatory drink! Honey looses its property around 45 degrees Celsius..add it after not during the preparation...

    I'm so pleased I found your channel, I love watching your progress every week. One of the things I like the most is that it's real, you show things how they are, not a polished, edited version. The cladding looks fantastic, good job on the tiles. Stay safe Sue and Bryn xx
  • Wonderful! Great editing, the video flows well and loved your music selection. ❤we all need a mom and Simon ❤ they’re beautiful! Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the happiness of your family in accomplishing the cladding and tile projects.
  • @wooden_branches
    Wonderful video. The cladding is stunning and the tiler did a great job too ! Loved your Mum’s filming and seeing Omar’s reaction was very sweet. Your family is beautiful.
  • @James-In-Exile
    It's impressive to see the progress you are all making and the skills you acquire (and refine)along the way, but the most sympathetic aspect of your channel is simply the happiness and positivity you exude. More power to you!
