Awesome improvements all around! It is amazing to see how each stage fits in on the overall plan. Btw is that room going to be a dark room? It looked like you could get enough natural light through the ceiling top side close to the door opening by adding small windows on top instead of closing it. Keep on going strong we will continue to accompany you from afar.

Thanks for another video you guys 😊 Cristina, while you were propagating that flowering bush did I see a table to your left made from an old time sewing machine? I’m curious because I have my mother-in-laws old sewing machine with a foot petal that I want to covert into a side table preferably with a marble top. If it was, did you covert it? The house renovation is looking amazing as well as the office. Did you two go up and down that ladder 4 times, or 5? I lost count 😂❤ have a great week.

@@The-Quinta I remember applying a double skin to our garage ceiling with my dad years back. It was meticulous in having to mark out where the joists were and also where we had screwed the first layer into the joists. This was to avoid hitting our first set of screws with the second layer screws. Not rocket science but quite fun. The sort of thing you would be totally across. Just love your relaxed commentary.
