Don’t fret over mistakes. I’ve been doing that stuff for 55 years and still make mistakes. We all do it, that’s why there’s an eraser on the end of a pencil. You’re doing great young lady.
I'd love to see u make your garage out for a professional work area.😁
Lord, Dean cracks me up!! He had me crying the way he was sitting in his seat!! He is such a comedian. I love your videos!!❤

Yeah who woulda thought the real secret to KZread success was a crazy sidekick.
You two are hilarious and a match made in heaven! I could watch your antics all day. I love that you finally broke down and got a portable table for your saw and moved the bottom shelf up on your work table,....it just makes more sense. I look forward to your videos every week, and I can't wait to see the shelf unit completed!
Today I introduced my husband to a Dean and Andrea video for the first time… 🤣He would shake his head and laugh at Dean’s antics… and his non-handy ways…. She’s obviously the more serious one while he’s the crazy one… My husband would just shake his head and laugh because he’s a builder and knew everything Andrea was saying and would laugh when Dean was like “yeah whatever you just said Andrea I have no idea what you’re talking about” 😂 I think he really liked it 😂 You guys are awesome 👏
Andrea is amazing and I am so grateful that Dean decided to film her working because I love your videos so much. You guys are great and those cabinets are to die for Andrea! ❤❤
😂😂😂 Dean actually makes my day he is hilarious the cabinet is looking good Andrea can't wait to see the finished product 😄 PLB❤️❤️
I would love to know how much the wood cost. Or maybe the final project. When you compared the cost of the closet to an full ikea, that was great
You all are allowed to take breaks. They're needed by everyone. You do a great job, I understand why you get excited.
i sat here and watched all 68 minutes as if it were a movie.. can't wait for next ep! will you be using rubio monocoat again? honestly i love the light wood in the space, i hope you don't go super dark🤞
Happy to see a new video! Newbie here! Lowe’s definitely needs to Sponsor you guys! Lol Great day!
Big jib, but we all know you’re up to the challenge. You might want to see if there is a hardwood dealer in your area. You can usually get better lumber then what you find at Lowes or Home Depot. When precutting pieces use painters tape to write what the piece is for.
You two make working look like soooo much FUN!
You two are so fun to watch! Love this cabinet, can’t wait to see it finished!
I was cracking up at Dean all squished in the front seat🤣 You guys need to find a good “used” truck. Having a truck makes life so much easier👍🏻😅

Funny until some big rig rear ends them and his limbs are stuck under the dash.
Y’all are great! Kudos to Dean for standing back and letting you be the amazing badass you are! Also I need the info on those glasses! Love them!
OMG! First of all, I love the hard work that you do on all the projects, and they come out beautifully! Second of all, every time I watch your channel, I think that I should get some depends because I am constantly laughing my back side off with your hubby's antics! You two are a lot of fun to watch!!!
Enjoyed the long format! Cool to see both of your personalities come across so well on camera. I am building in my house too and it is fun to see how knowledgeable andrea is… and how unknowledgeable I am 😂. Keep it up.
You guys crack me up! I don't think I've ever looked forward to anyone else's videos as much as yours!

Ha Glad you are enjoying them Lori, thanks means a lot!
How come you guys don't have millions of subscribers???....your channel is sooo multi-facetied(sp).....there is no way this would work, if you both weren't in it!!!....love...love...love your videos!!!....thanks for all you do!!!....
Amazing work as always Andrea so so talented 😊 excited for next weeks episode. Dean you're the best with your funny content. Thank you both we love your channel 💕
I just found you two yesterday and I can't stop watching. You're amazing at the work you do and your husband is funny AF lol
I can’t explain how much watching this video helped me accept my mistakes. You are amazing and you still make mistakes and I thank you for showing them. My closet built-in has pretty much been a design as you go project. I live in an upstairs condo so all my cutting is down in the garage and the pieces are carried upstairs for assembly in place. I’m finally to sanding, caulking, priming and painting. There have been mistakes along the way but I was able to correct them and although not perfect it is looking beautiful. It’s channels like yours that have inspired me to give bigger projects a go. I love the “daily” trips to Lowe’s or Home Depot. Thanks for the reminder to replace your blades and bits. I just wish I could get the measuring/cutting accurately figured out. 😮
Love your videos, watch every week. I would LOVE to see you guys take on a small-medium size family camper and remodel it for your family's use. And I bet your audience would love it!

We’ve been throwing around that exact idea!
Those routed “grooves” for the shelves is a type of joinery called dados. Same with the dados you made for the bottom of the drawers. Pocket holes are another type of joinery. Butt joints, mortise and tendon, half-laps are also methods of joinery. By using the correct terminology you will get used to it and you’ll be better able to educate your viewers. It’s fun to watch you grow in your learning. (I’m a female hobbyist woodworker.)
Omg I just love Dean!!! He is a hilarious hot mess 😂😂
This is so much more difficult than she is making it look. She is talented. Fr I'd love to have the ability to do all this stuff. I recently kinda got into some carpentry and shelving/cabinet kinda stuff. The more you do, the more you realize there is a tool to make it easier. Then, the more you do, the more you realize there is a tool to make it faster. Then you realize there is a better version and so on. It never ends. I'm getting slightly anxious thinking about it, lol. I love this channel thus far. I just found it, and it's great.
Love this! Just an idea: maybe you can grab a 4x8 piece of foam board insulation to put on your work bench top so your saw blade cuts into the insulation rather than into your work bench top. 😃
Hilarious. So looking forward to 2023 and what you all do. . I love your work and ENJOY the two of you together !!
Laughter and extra hands sounds like a perfect relationship ❤❤❤
Great episode. I've got the same rigid gravity rise stand for my miter saw. Love that thing. I appreciate that you include your mistakes and don't edit them out. Nobody is perfect and it makes us feel better about the amount of mistakes we make when putting together a project. Can't wait to see the next installment of this series. Cheers!
I l I ❤ The Lowe’s trip “ Lowe’s trip every single Day is a “Lowe’s trip “ 😂😂😂
"Lookin' for plywood in all the wrong places" 😂😂😂😂 and all the other funny stuff 😁
Amazing work! Discovered you two about a month ago and binged most your videos. Comedic and educational is a great combo!
Great work Andrea! It's giving me confidence in my first cabinet build. It's smaller so it's good to see that you use the same technique as I had in mind on a much bigger project.
After watching several of your videos(I love home projects), my husband is so glad I'm too old for building things, and I'm a knitter and crocheter. Yarn is so much easier on the credit card, lol!
Dean, Dean, Dean You Had Me Laughing So Hard, MAN!!!!!!!! I Love You Guys And Your Videos. With Your Comic Relief, An Andrea's DIY's You Two Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin, And This Is Why I LOVE These Videos.
Dean is such a nut! His singing is legendary!!!
Dean, you soooo remind me of my Uncle Scott, he loves to joke all the time. Andrea you are just like my aunt and don't react all the time. It's fun to watch you two just interact.
Just an idea, to keep your workbench from getting all cut up with the rip cuts and cross cuts, buy a 2 inch 4x8 sheet of insulation and use that as a sacrificial support for all of those types of cuts between your workbench and sheet goods. It will also support both pieces after the cut is complete.
Andrea, would you come to North Alabama and help me redesign my kitchen? My husband and I will be remodeling our kitchen some time February or March. Have you all considered getting a truck or a trailer? Dean you are hilarious and Andrea is AMAZING!! I wished I had learned to build things while I was young like you so didn't have ask my husband to make it for me. Love, love all your videos!!
Your "Lowes Trip" jingle is so catchy - I sing it even when I am driving past the store. What a missed opportunity for Lowes - again, another reason why they should be sponsoring you. In the least, a store credit. Maybe if I keep saying this one of their Lowes super sniffers will find this comment and say - ya know you are right. Supporting those who support us is good for business. 😁😘😍
So great watching your process! This is going to be lovely and I can’t wait to see it finished!!

You two are awesome, the professional videography and production of your channel is HGTV worthy ❤️👍🏼😉🇨🇦
You guys are such an awesome couple watch, especially with Dean's antics, lol😂
Hi guys, your videos keep me stuck in the chair for hours, now everyone in my family knows you, even my friends you have stolen my heart, I can't wait to see your work Andrea you're fantastic I love you, Dean is very nice with his eccentric and unique interventions...I love you kiss see you soon 💖
That was epic!! Can't wait for Part 2!!
i missed you guys!, great build Andrea!
Andrea, Dean is your biggest cheerleader. Great job Dean! You are amazing Andrea at what you do. You should be proud of yourself. You are using the gifts God gave you for His Glory.
Just came across y'all's channel and had to subscribe after seeing your husband in the seat of the van. 🤣 I knew the roads looked familiar. I'm about 20 minutes away from where y'all are. Never came across someone on KZread that lived near me. So hello neighbor. 💖
These two really compliment each other! 😁
Congratulations in the new wheels🛵 Great job so far Andrea, can't wait to see the reveal. You're such an inspiration🙏 Dean's moves is awesome, keep it going!
Great work Andrea and Dean your video work is spot on. You guys make an amazing team. ♡✔♡
Hello from cold Canada in February -38°C. Love your videos, your supportive relationship, and your fun personalities! So many congrats!
Wow WOW WOW!
GREAT move to use the workbench and buy a miter saw stand, it feels SO good to not have to cut sheet goods on the ground!!
Great job❣
Looks amazing so far, can't wait to see the finished project!
It's great watching you two as a team. If I recall, I saw a video of you building the fireplace. That didn't look like a small project and it turned out beautifully. I'm sure this cabinet will too. Well done.
Thanks! I always smile when I watch your videos!
YES, if you stop working on the project and play pickle ball, you are STILL working!! I love that you added that part to this video :)
Love you guys! Sar-Dean had me cracking up. Andrea there are always "mistakes", or new design challenges along the way on every project I've ever done. It's the challenge and creativity to correct or work around them that makes the process so intriguing. You are amazing and so talented. Love the way you work together, can't wait to see the finished product.
I truly enjoyed my first video with yall. I needed a laugh. 🤣😂
I just fell on your site looking for videos on redecorating. All I can say is, Andria you are amazing. I went back on some of your older videos and was awed....especially the remake of that kitchen you did for friends.....I am enjoying what I've watched so far. Wish I was 25yrs younger, I would love to apply some of your ideas....keep up the good work.
Think I’ll come to visit. Here in Canada where I am, it’s -27 C and -43C with the wind chill factor. Exposed skin freezes real fast. You could lose a nose. Just like that. Having fun watching this project. Thanks.
The Husband is Everything!!😅
Enjoyed watching the two of you as always :) Loving the huge cupboard!
Love your vdeos! Such a cute couple. Love how goofy Dean is and how uncomfortable Andrea seems sometimes with Dean's antics. Any plans to do a garage organization video. Maybe a workshop for Andrea in the garage. I'd definitely be interested in watching that. Always look forward to watching your videos!
I just came out with a project idea for the DIY Wife. How about adding some organization drawers on your mobile work station. This way you don't have to find routers and bits cuz they'll have a place
Always love your videos! This one had me laughing a lot! Cannot wait to see the finished product. It looks beautiful so far!!!
You two are hilarious, and Dean is such a clown.. love it 🤣, if you raise the bottom shelf of your work bench it won't get caught on the lip of your garage ... while you are at it install a center support just in case you use it for your miter saw or put something heavy on it ...
Welcome back, we missed both of you.
My husband does something embarrassing and I leave the room...what does Andrea do? she hugs her sweetie, good on ya girl that's real love right there. God bless you, two. 🤗🤗
WOW!! You are such an inspiration. Awesome job.
Great project. It is huge. Turned out great.
Enjoy watching your show! Thanks for all the info.
Wait… did I miss that you made a table!? Finally!? Go you! ❤❤❤❤
I like the router groves. I have always used pocket holes and clamps. I’m going to incorporate the router for my next project.
I saved your video for some Sunday night bedtime viewing. Loved it. Well done you two. 😊
I've never heard of pickleball before, looks like a more chill version of tennis? Glad you guys had fun!
