RV RENOVATION ON A BUDGET Step by Step of The KITCHEN
We bought 35 acres on top of a mesa in Colorado to build our dream home off grid and strengthen our family unit. While we build our family of eight plus pets is living in a 5th wheel. We’ll be in here a while so we’re renovating it. We’re on a crazy tight budget. We’re getting creative, repurposing materials, finding deals and of course doing it all ourselves! This video is all about the kitchen portion of our remodel and the step by step process it took to transform this space. We couldnt be happier!
Feel free to watch as we continue to learn and experiment while we build our dream home mostly off grid in the middle of nowhere! There is sure to be more epic projects like this one if you stick around and watch:)

Girl, all I can say is that you have a talented, creative & awesome husband that is masterful in being able to do all your electrical & custom woodworking!!👍 He has the foresight in design as to the way he wants it done & does it...amazing! I know you had to be a big part of it also, you are literally his support system. My husband was in construction & I, too used to go & help him on jobs he was doing. It's all in the details & I'm sure you helped out with those. Congrats on the remodel & with your future build.🥳🎉🏡 God bless to you & your family.

Jeff here, I just read this comment and I would humbly say that I’m not a master but love the challenge each project presents and with each problem we gain a greater understanding of the trade. My only talent is really understanding concepts and mentally visualizing the steps necessary to achieve the final product. I don’t follow any specific style of wood working, but build it ho how I see it working in my head. I have much to learn from other carpenters and can often be inspired by seeing others creations. I’m driven by the desire to create and love seeing it come together as planned but sometimes get kicked in the butt when it doesn’t quite work the way I hoped and have to make modifications. But when that happens, it’s an opportunity to grow and do better next time…which is better than never messing up and not getting any better. Thanks for your kind words and for following our little journey! I hope you chase your dreams and make whatever you want happen! 👍🏼😁

I was wondering what your husband did for a living. He’s very talented and jack of all trades. That’s what my dad was. But he worked for Kenncott intel he retired and the retirement didn’t last long. He went back working, he became a security for the Maverick Center in West Valley and they also did the Security for the sauna for summer concerts and his favorite one was doing the Security for the U of U games. We are originally from Agana but the last 20 years of my parents life they lived in West Valley that purchased my grandparents house because it was bigger and our family was getting bigger. Great job!!!!😊😊

Your husband is a magician! I was noticing when you put in your steps that I have seen others box these in and put upwards swing of the step or drawers to utilize this as storage space. Would give you quite a bit more storage for shoes, extra light bulbs, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. or just become your junk drawer as every house needs one. Just a thought. Hope you are doing well. Merry Christmas!

Thank you! Yes, it’s not the tool, it’s what you do with it. We don’t understand the tool camp polarity. Tools do what they’re designed to do regardless of who makes them. Premium brands do tend to last longer but most people can’t afford the premium brands when they’re just DIYers. Granted, the more one spends doing projects, the more they desire more durable tools; but the average Joe can get affordable tools and do good quality work. Sometimes people comment on these videos sarcastically pointing out that we “only needed to buy 5 thousand dollars in tools to build whatever we’re building”- so it’s nice to see someone like yourself who understands the need for basic tools to DIY. Like, you’re not going to be able to do much with just a hand saw and a drill. A DIYer will need to invest a considerable amount in tools to get the job done and tools pay for themselves as money is saved not hiring someone else with tools to do it for you. Thank you for your comment!

You nailed it out of the park with this one. What a project! How did you get the paint on the cabinets to look so smooth without any brush strokes?

No trick to painting the doors really. She just brushed it on and it just kind of levels out, however…. There is this new spray can that Home Depot sells that has a wide spray pattern like an automotive sprayer that can spray the paint super smooth and very fast. Now that we know it exists, we’ll be using it from now on for paint projects. They can it’s like twice the height of a normal spray can, so you’ll be able to find it easily. As for the counter, we really love the beautiful colors of poplar and found some nice looking pieces to use while searching the hard woods section of Home Depot. Realizing it’s more of a SOFT hard wood, we figured it would be fine using the Super Glaze epoxy as the final surface finish to withstand wear. So far it has worked just fine, and we’re still happy with the selection. Thanks for the support! We hope your project turns out as you hope. Let us know if you have any more questions. 👍🏼
