All I can do is laugh and keep it moving! Thank you Earth Breeze for sponsoring today's episode! - head over to EarthBreeze.com/metz to get started with 40% of Earth Breeze Eco Sheets xx.

My heart broke for you when you realized that you broke the TV. Your reaction was valid. You worked so hard on it. Believe me, I have been there too. It's all a learning experience and sometimes it sucks.❤️🌺

Life... it is what it is. Thanks for sharing the good, bad, and the ugly with raw emotions. You've done more than most people I know.

Maybe the room took your dog away from you, or maybe it was the last place she was comfortable in. And i haven't watched the whole video yet but i admire how real you always are. It might not always seem like it, but you're amazing and you can do so much. Lots of love

This shows how much just stepping away, and especially sleeping on something, changes your perspective from self-blaming to self-compassion. It warmed my heart seeing you coming back and approaching this "failure" with healthy humor. You rock, Rachel! 💪🏽

Rach, here's a mud tip, always use the green lid all purpose compound but have a small box of plaster. Sprinkle some plaster into the compound and mix it up well. This will turn it into "hot mud" aka the "5 min mud". It'll make the compound shrink less and it'll dry really fast and hard. For the finish layer just use the compound with no plaster, it takes longer to (a lot longer) to dry but its smooth and easy to sand. You got this.

Ohhhhh boy, I knew from the thumbnail that THIS was going to be a hard one to watch. I wanted to jump through the screen and scoop you up in a hug when you were on the ground after the TV fritzed out on you! But I am SOoO glad you were able to pick yourself back up again so quickly (or, seemingly so quickly) and recognize how far you've come in your reno. So it's taking you longer than you had originally planned, and you are truly a super badass boss lady, BUT, you're still just one person with only two hands, out in the unforgiving desert. Most women would have never even dreamed of the life you chose for yourself, and certainly wouldn't have stuck it out as long as you have... but you're still out there, thriving as best as you can and giving mother nature the middle finger at every turn. Can you tell how PROUD of you I am? I've said it before, but I truly hope my daughter turns out to be even half the badass you are when she's all grown up (which is happening much too fast for my liking, of course) because then I know she'll fulfill her dreams, whatever they may end up being. (Only 14, so those dreams are as mercurial as the weather.) As for that ungrateful TV, I'm sure you'll come up with a fantastic idea to protect it from being accidentally smashed again, since you always do. The wall color is amazing, and I'm so excited to see the final product, whenever that happens (NO RUSH, of course!) Thank you so very much for sharing your work with us and for not sugar coating it! Seeing that you're not perfect is one of the reasons we all love you so much, ya know. Lots of love to you, your aminals 😂 and your property!

Girlfriend. Give yourself some grace! You are amazing! ❤

The TV screen reveal had me rollin! I love how it just fades in and slowly reveals the horror.

I love how you made the realization of how far that room has come just like you. Watching someone be super hard on themselves but then turn around and show themselves grace is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for always showing all the “bumps in the road”. I appreciate you!

if one of your goals is to create something that makes people feel less alone then you succeeded. that is the most noble work of all. your "minimum" always carries worth.

Ohh Hun, I love the way you bounce back. It's true you are human don't be too hard on yourself. I love how your Chanel is authentic

Not reacting the same way you did last time. Hell yeah! Catching yourself and circling back around with self-compassion, that is so worth celebrating. Thanks for taking us on your journey! Much love to you, Rachel!

Those last 2.5 minutes are what it's all about. Thank you for always sharing such realness with us.

Yes! You keep going! You got this. I love being on this roller coaster with you. It’s so raw and honest and I love watching you grow from it. You’re an inspiration.

hey girl it’s totally okay to break down after something like that had happened, your frustrated and disappointed. It’s actually the healthy part of dealing with upsetting feelings; cry it out feel the feeling and then break down what the feeling is and how you can now fix the problem. which is exactly what you did!

Thank you Rachel for sharing your experience, the reality, and the ups and downs. You have no idea how my journey is connected to yours. Seeing you smile and keep going was an inspiration for me to do the same.. I've been following you since the beginning... all the love from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ❤

Also,.. glad you got too where you did by the end of the video. You're doing great!!! So many people never get anything done because of analysis paralysis. Failing is growing. Sometimes it really sucks to not have things go perfectly but if the alternative is sitting around doing nothing until you know how to do everything perfectly, you'll be waiting forever. And don't be afraid to ask for help. People who already learned the hard way are usually always down to save people the growing pain, especially when they see you're truly passionate about it. You're getting so much done! and you're an inspiration!! You got this!!!

Just fyi we don’t care if you accomplish nothing, or something or everything in a video. Just happy to see you LIVING to DIY ❤

You’re amazing not letting anything bring you down. The lessons I’ve learned from watching your videos are priceless. 💖

No matter what mistakes and all im amazed at what you do. Mistakes are our learning lessons. I have to do the same thing step back and really see how far i got.

It's like that scene in The Breakfast Club when he started crying because his lamp he built didn't work. In the moment it is devastating but in the Big Picture it doesn't even matter. Good job keeping your head up! Gratitude saves my ass every time. 💓

Cali wanted you in that room ❤ It’s going to be the best labor of love!

Girl, you are so strong…! Never forget that. So happy to see that you found your breath and calm before going down a spiral. It´s ok to be human. That´s why this community adores you - you keep it real and raw. In the end of the day, it´s just a tv…. Loveya

The highs and the lows, they're all part of the process... thank you for sharing all of it ❤I for one truly appreciate the realness! It's why I keep following xxx

Switching perspective and keep going- love that. I have had to do that a lot myself and it's an important reminder. Sometimes just taking it moment by moment is all you can do. You're doing great 💜

Girl, you are an inspiration. Watching all of your ups and downs helps me with my ups and downs. I admire that you keep getting up again. Love ya❤

Things happens! Thats life, and you being real! We love you for that! Just keep going! ❤

The TV is broken, so sorry.However you posting this video, is a tremulous help for me. It helps me work through my mistakes. You share most of yours and nobody see mine. That is huge for you to be proud of. I have it easy. So thank you

Rachel, your "Hot Rachel Metz" life is a breath of fresh air. I'm literally in a creative blehhh. I feel like I have great opportunities and partnerships but life, me, whatever keeps getting in the way. But the reality is, I'M TIRED, I'M A HUMAN, and STILL, I HAVE COME SO FAR!! Thank you for shifting my perspective on this lovely Saturday. Never feel embarressed or ashamed, you are the definition of growth, beauty and grace! I think it's safe to say we all LOVEEEE YAAA -Anastacia

Cali is happy that you are moving forward..our animals are our soulmate.

A really great and wise man once said it’s not the adversity, it’s how you handle the adversity. Life is full of hills and valleys, but you have shown an inner strength and grit and determination and wisdom in the face of the adversity and that speaks volumes about who you are. There’s an old song by Hellen Reddy “I am woman” kinda reminds me of you.

It’s fine! It’s not a good tv if you can easily break it with your thumb. And now you can get a better tv that will last after your full build!!! ❤❤❤

"the amount of living and learning"..... felt that such a great episode.. proud of you too

Just me, questioning all the progress Ive made because I lost my hat, my mail has been postponed forever it seems and the post office near me can't help. I'm stuck or at least it felt that way for a solid 4 hours today. Until I saw this video of you struggling with small problems too. So thank you for helping me today.

I watch you for your honesty not to mention your innovation. Hang in there.

Holy shit i could probably get as far as gathering the wood to make tv stand. Watching you like bend metal and torching shit. I loved it. Btw I always say just my very existence means destruction so i know I would have broken tv. Lol you are amazing

Don’t let these little hurdles get you down! You are doing more than most and doing it with style! You have made your life your canvas and that is the most beautiful thing ♥️💯💖

'Courage does not always roar, sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day which says I will try again tomorrow ' you continue to inspire❤

I know how you feel and it's not about the TV it's about life and the way things have been going and of course the beloved pup of yours it's alot to swallow all at once. You Rachel will get it done.

Thank you for still posting this

No don’t see it like that Cali’s soul lives in that room see it as if your baby is with you to give you strength. You are working in that room because Cali moved your renovation in this direction to embrace the warmth and just how special that room can be. Maybe dedicate a section to Cali, she’s with you and keeps pulling you back into this room to help you heal. This is her soul room 💛

Yoooooo Raaachelleeee!!! STOP!!! Take a chill pill Homie & know that ALL of us gotz LOVE for you!!!! You can & will do it. Da REAL ones will be here cheering you on. Also not gonna lie. The swing around TV is a DOPE idea!!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!

you can do it! we're all so proud of you❤

Thank you for keeping it real. Please do not pressure yourself to put out content, I would rather wait weeks and have a rested, centred Rachel than get content that leaves you discombobulated. You are the most important aspect of your posts.

Awe Rachel! Breathe! Sing! Dance! Cry! Repeat….Breathe❤❤❤ bounce

Rachel No no! The project looks great and so does the idea. ok the tv broke, that is what happens with projects like this with innovative ideas that have never been done! Calm down and move on, leave it ready for when you can have another TV! Use the prototype to avoid using that TV and not risk another one. Cheer up! you're doing well!!! Go go go girl!

Wow rachel I never comment, but this last segment of you taking a breath and pointing out what you did right and being optimistic really touched me. This will be my reminder to take things lighter and recognize progress through mistakes 🙏🏻♥️

Girl! I felt every moment of working so hard and detailed just to break something or mess up a significant part of a project. It happens to me a lot! I cry just the same. I also have trauma from losing a few of my dogs. I want to hug you and let you know that you are not alone. 😢

If I left my life tomorrow and slipped into yours, I would recognize and identify with all the messy, uncomfortable defeats, the doubts and the small victories. (Not to mention working in my bathrobe..it's a vibe.) Thanks for being real. It's so valuable.

I am so inspired by your ability to design, create and reinvent. You are a beautiful force of resilience ❤🫶🏼💪🏼✨

I don’t think u realize how much we love seeing your content no matter how “messy” u think it is! We love your honesty, growth & creativity! U r unique here in YT! Please keep that i your mind! No matter wt u upload we will be interested to watch, we will laugh with u, cray with u, learn & be better with u . Wish u all the best ❤

Honestly Rachel, you're a huge inspiration! thank you for always showing up authentically. I plan on owning a home next year. And you have given me the courage to get a fixer-upper just to have these experiences to have a story and a connection with the place I will call home. I hope in the future you have workshops and apprenticeships! I would love to lend a helping hand. Currently, an electrician, and thanks to you branching off to welding. You're amazing!!! and I hope you know that!! flaws and all is the beauty of it. Sony give her a new TV!!!

I love your headspace. I have had many a project blow up in my face where I just feel exhausted and scared to go back and finish. Now I am saving this video to hear the end every time as my little pick me. My own little Rachel pep talk. Thank you for that

I feel like you should also realise that you already reacted great this time! Crying in the moment is something that needs to happen sometimes. Take the time to feel youe feelings. And the fact you took a step back and reminded yourself of what you have done is so great! Maybe you want to have that second realisation sooner next time. But also be proud that you already had the realisation at all. You are doing amazing ❤

I've been using earth breeze for over a year now and I love it

Future Rachel is really proud of Now Rachel ❤ I feel it

You should be PROUD this room is becoming so awesome 👏 watching your ideas come to life everytime even through the rough patches you ALWAYS find a way and that’s what’s important you NEVER give up and that’s so amazing love you Rachel your amazing and I love all of your videos ❤ keep on keepin on 🤘🏼

Hey you marvelous being! Just wanting to let you know how appreciated you are, even though I understand that everything we post it's somehow curated, I also understand the struggles behind it, especially in our general society. So having said that, I just wanted to express that all I've seen and mostly perceived of your journey, from your first videos till now.. has made me feel first as an anonymous cheerleader of your adventurous learning projects, the ferocity to teach yourself, the humbleness at asking for help or knowledge to others.. Thank you for sharing your lows and highs, and for respecting yourself whenever you choose not to post something. I hope it warms your heart to know you've got sisters around the world that you just haven't met, who wish you the best through all the love and admiration you inspire. If you're ever in Madrid and wish to meet sisters in arts, we are happy to welcome you to Haus of Jarta. Cheers from your argentinian sister! ❤

I feel that struggle deep in my soul! Life does have a habit of throwing shit like that at you. The work you put in is appreciated, im grateful you put the video out! You got this girl! So strong 💪

Love you Rach ♥I started crying around 19:00 when you remind yourself about your progress, this is one of the many reasons you are a QUEEN! this is your force to keep coming back up no matter what, you are a STRONG woman, an inspiration for milions, your unique personality, creativity and courage are rare, I watch everything you post, you can miss how many weeks you need, WE WILL STILL BE HERE for you! Love from Romania. PS Cali is proud of you, more than you can imagine !!!

Regarding Earth Breeze, keep them out of humidity or splash zone if at home...they will weld together...still usable but...

”You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭56‬:‭8‬

Keep going, girl. We are here to cheer you up 👍👏 you are stronger than you can imagine ❤

I just watched a video that said don’t stress if you eff up when DIYing renovations because you can afford to because you’re not paying anyone else to do it so yea take it easy! You could build a whole bathroom and smash everything in it there times and probably still pay less than what a builder and tiler and plumber and electrician would charge.

All I want to do I give you the biggest hug and tell you how amazing you are and how far you’ve come!

Coming along! Oof been there. When I was younger we had these PVC pipes that my grandpa gave me that I’d build stuff with as a kid. Different lengths, like 1 foot or so, different fitting. Anyways my friend made something, and then deciding to kick it while we were watching a movie, not thinking. A middle piece went flying and it totally cracked and ruined the TV. I see cheap nice ones all the time on Marketplace.

Great job looping back around and being grateful for the wins! The truth is that we have all broken something on accident. I hope Sony or life gives you another one soon!

For the lazy susan, add more surface area at the base...theres a little bit of the edge free floating and adding some wood for those edge to sit on will increase the surface area which will more evenly distribute the weight. You can also consider adding a post in the middle to affix the stand to, just make sure no moving parts are affixed

I am sad that all the effort you are putting in is not working out for you; but at the same time it is liberating to see that someone doesn't get things right the first time and that everything takes time and that's okay.

When I was a kid I had a Sony Walkman that I accidentally dropped and broke the door that had a radio installed in it. I was so upset because it was my mom‘s so I sent the Walkman in with the letter explaining what happened and asked them to fix it. Two weeks later I got a brand new one in the mail. Sony’s great with things like that, explain to them that it would help if there were handles for easy installation by one person. Good luck and yes, you are only human and mistakes happen when we DIY.

Rachel, your room will be fabulous when finished. I look forward to next week's video. 😊

inspirational woman keep on going you're doing so great!

Can you talk about costs in your videos too?😊

Rachel I’ve been following you for a good while now I love what you do, love your style and you almost feel like a friend to me at this point. So much so that it hurts me to see how much you stress over projects lately. I want to jump into my screen and go help you some times. Maybe the dessert life is not for you? Or maybe you need more help?

we keep going!!!

Cali passing away in your tool room seems right somehow. She knew how important your work was to you and she loved you for it ❤. Sony better send you a replacement tv! We watch your content for the vibes and realness, no one expects you to have a room reveal every episode. I’m here for the journey because I resonate with it 😊

You are so creative. Kudos.

Believe it or not, you really have got this Rachel 🤛🏻🙏🏻🥰🇬🇧xxxxx

Rachel, I hope you're doing okay. Remember, the struggle is real... and in your line of work... we are relieved that mistakes happen. It makes you human and relatable. I hope to hear from you soon... mistakes and all.

Hey Rachel, long time sub, never wrote to you, but I keep thinking about you and I hope you’re hanging in there. Give yourself compassion, not everything needs to be perfect. We love you as you are. You’re human and it’s okay. ❤

You're hair is looking great today!

Oh man you're doing your best!! Sending love

Hey Rachel, I just wanted to come one here and let you know that we care about you❤ I hope your doing good and are just taking some time off to just be yourself. Take your time, we underdant ❤

Love how you keep going no matter what. Your resilience is an inspiration to so many. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! Wuv u 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👑

Hi Rachel. Followed you for several years now. Feel a bit like i have a spiritual connection with you. Totally not creepy. 😂😂 first of all, your creativity is out of this world. No question! Secondly, sometimes i get the feeling you're trying so damn hard (too hard) in some ways. My gut tells me that's why things keep going sideways for you. There's something in me seeking to tell the something in you to relax, breathe, slow down and find the joy in you. There's an element of flow that comes with creativity that feels like its mssing right now. I say this with all the love and support I have. You're amazing and so so talented, and something nudged me to tell you to find your flow.... ❤

Oh rach I so so so feel for you! I broke a computer monitor by dropping some coving on it - I KNEW I should have moved everything before trying the repair but it felt too overwhelming. I tried my luck and got caught out. When you get to the end this will feel like a tiny annoying blip, you got this!!

Saludos desde Barcelona. Ánimo, lo estás haciendo genial 💪👏👏

Could feel your frustration over the TV, your idea is great though, and IT WILL LOOK AMAZING, loving the colour and its coming together ❤️ ♥️ 💕

Girl you got this 💪 what is building from the ground up without mishaps!? We have faith in you!!

your hair in the begining 😍

You are an inspiration....

Girl take your time. Love your videos. Be safe!😊

I so appreciate your vulnerability!

Give yourself some grace dear beautiful girl. Okay? It’s okay. You’re amazing. I love you!!!! You got this chica👌🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾😘

My new motto is “life is life’ing”
