    Holy cow! The skill and knowledge involved in this blows my mind. Andrew talks with a ‘no big deal’ tone when it’s anything but that! You both are crazy talented.

    Wow!! Just wow! I’ve so enjoyed the whole series and seeing all the hard work and skills both of you put into everything. I know I joked a lot about the blue toilet, but unless you were doing a restoration and keeping the style of a 1960’s house, what you did was so beautiful. Looking forward to following your future projects!

    Our house is built on a slab. So, very similar to your basement. When we renovated our master bath I really wanted to put underfloor heating in because I knew how cold it was going to be with a cement and then the tile. Did y'all consider doing underfloor heating in the basement Reno? Or did you decide well most of the time we're going to be in shoes or in the summer we're gonna be barefoot and it won't matter. I think your breakdown information is just so helpful. As always, y'all have done a fantastic job. Standing O from me!
