I ❤️your honesty and giggled as I made tea to watch 😉. She’s amazing and inspiring and hopefully by the time my yards out of snow cover I’ll have the energy to try to do something to mine ....

@@anncarroll7354 L🤣L. I don't even have the excuse of waiting for the snow to melt. I currently have 35c/95f days so my excuse is it's too hot. Cheers from Down Under (Queensland, Australia) 🤗

@@Katrinagaming-en1os 😂 even drinking coffee would be to much in that heat! Never mind actually changing a yard to this!

😂 😂 😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂😂

Dang...I'm tired just thinking about all that work! You are amazing lady!!

Do any kids realize how amazing their mom is?

@@MrSoldierperson you took the words right out of my mouth!! They finally do once they are grown and then its just a memory because by that time most of us can't do 1/4 of the projects we once did

@@jcrefasi1 chill.. I know how amazing my mom is (my mom isnt nicole) and i try my hardest to make her happy

I wonder if the rest of the family have picked up skills, learned from the doing, and her methodical way of getting things (tasks) completed.

@@svenz7773 so you are a rare child indeed. Happy to hear there are children who recognize their parent's talent and hard work ethic before they turn 18!! Thanks that warms my ❤

WHAW .... female concrete labourer and tiler , mum of 5 ..... girl you can be proud of yourself 👍 👌 . Greets from Belguim ( europ)

Love this!!! You need a KZfaq page!!!!

Woah kudos to you strong skillful women!

So you should know the tiling was done wrong and will lift/crack. 😬

@@moodogtizer5884 why is that?

Yes because it is a wonderful feeling when you see when your work us done

Hello

:-) Thx!

I was exhausted for her ... and the temperature was ...pssh hot 🥵

Yes, tenacity sums it all up. Another beautiful project by Nicole!

@@MichaelBoerop unbelievable what you have achieved. You're absolutely amazing. The inner rest you find in yourself, is what you makes so special. Your husband must be the luckiest man in the world. I also have seen the complete video of building your backyard pool. Determination is what I love about you. Well done. I see so much from myself in you. I wrote it in English because your channel is international seen by many viewers. Sincerely Bert de Vries from Computer onderhoud Hillegom.

I think it'a bad idea to have tile where water is on it and you have to walk on it.

Contractors have their place. While I appreciate the work and the effort that goes into this project, I was wondering if I could use all that time to improve knowledge in my field or create value there and let the contractors or people who can do this and pay them for their work.

she didn't set the tile quite right...you trowel in one direction so when you set the tile it does not form air pockets between cross hatched thin set. You are also supposed to back butter the tile before you set to ensure proper adhesion. Water exposure as well as the freeze/thaw cycles will shorten the life span of this project for these 2 reasons.

@@artnardone you are wrong, have you ever seen tiled bathroom?

@@areaofsight4868 a wet bathroom is completely different from an outdoor rainstorm every week.

Thx Alexis!

And all the amazing tools. All I have is a tool box. 😁 Great job.

@@evaperez4139 Eva: you can rent some of the power tools - from places like Home Depot, Lowe's etc. Depending on where you live, people like us now retired and no longer needing to do our own projects, so have far too many bits and pieces tool-wise (he also inherited a ton of things from his Dad when he passed). It's long past time for us to pass them on. Basically, you begin with a good hammer, hand saw and a decent set of screwdrivers AND a really good quality measuring tape. The rest you accumulate as time goes on. As a young married I decided to install all my own floors in our new home (never having done so before), so got books from the library and jumped in, destroying my father-in-law's good wood chisels in an attempt to level my lumpy concrete slab floor at the time. BIG mistake I never made again, but that's how we learn. Today we have the internet and youtube with wonderful videos and talented people like Nicole to show us the way. :)

:-) Thx!

Thank you!

"We think we have these limitations on what’s possible. But they’re false limitations." - nonsense, they're real

Keep on going ma'am!

Good on both of you! You will be happy and feel so accomplished when you get the other 20% done. Good luck!

I feel your pain. I've renovated my back porch and nearly completed painted the outside of my house. I'm running out of steam too. I'm 63

Debbie Vidal - 63 is the New 43! Good Luck w/your Project 😎

Carmen Walker-Gay all you have is time! You’ve got it, girl! Keep going!!

Genius indeed!

You too sound like you know what you're doing. She's a pro if I ever saw one!

Except if you have to walk over that when it’s wet. It looks awesome but not really practical for the outdoors.

aldridk gessa No different to a tiled bathroom or kitchen floor. They don't appear to he highly glazed, there is no reason why the surface should be especially slippery when wet.

@@spencerwilton5831 I know- but a kitchen or bath are not rooms that are exposed to the elements. In both these rooms water is restricted or contained. While there might be the occasional splash or spill, it’s not usually enough to cover the entire floor continuously- unless, of course a plumbing issue.

Perfect comment

And love her final smile!

no

I thought exactly the same!!! I’m disappointed.

Me too. So tired of clickbait.

Me too 🤣

I thought the exact same thing too but her project however costly it was turned out beautiful . Gotta live those stunning tiles!! I actually did my patio project by cleaning up my 2’x2’ concrete pavers then painted on old English style brick using multi colours & a hard sponge cut to the size of brick matching an older walkway to the patio. Fun project lotsa time in your knees very cost effective turned out great. Back in the day when stencils were hard to find for interiors & pricey and nobody was using them like they do today. Gratification is everything when you can sit back relaxed with a glass of your fav bevy & remember when....🌸🌷🌸

You must see the one where she put in the pool!

😍

And strong knees,too

@@BC-bt7hu a

Kills the knees, I been doing slabbing today.

She has a lovely smile! Beautiful job done!

The knees!

Love that guy!!

Renovation East is the name

I love that guy too!

Germans are a different race 😂😂. I admire them.

"And SHE saw that it was good." -- Hmmm.... Did it take her 7 days? lol

@@janiceshayne8193 haha I must have been reading through Genesis at the time 😂

"Patience".

@@heru-deshet359 thank you

And her physical strength !! She's amazing, beautiful job.

Hello

Is your heart empty baby will you be my lover

Hello

Absolutely beautiful, well done!

But should they?

We can give birth. Almost everything else is nothing compared to that, with enough work and determination #girlpower

Honestly... it depends on the child. My first who is now 5 was an angel. He would entertain himself a lot. My now 2 year old girl is the complete opposite. She cries and she will shout until I come, the only way I can get her to stay in the living area a bit for me to tidy up is by giving her a water bottle that doesn’t spill so much and off I go... she spends the time spilling water into her tea cups and drinking off of them... and making a mess too. But at least is water 🤷‍♀️ She is always surprising me with her naughtiness levels. Listen to this... as her hair is longer I put hair clips on her hair holding her fringe up. You know what she did while I was busy clearing up? She switched the tv off grabbed her hair clip and stabbed our tv with it and scratched it all. Or in her head, I just turned this beautiful tool into a pencil and this tv is my perfect canvas. This was today. I never imagined a hair clip could be such a powerful weapon. My son was sleeping on his own since little. He got his own bed and bedroom at 1.5y with his own drawers and wardrobe. There was never a problem. I never even needed to ever use a gate. I had to buy 2 for my daughter. She also got her own bedroom at same age as her brother with her own furniture... guess what lol I spent a week folding clothes and putting them back! How did my son fall asleep... I would just give him his bottle from very young and let him be, shut the light off and close the bedroom door.. he would be asleep never getting up... You know what my daughter does????? Instead of drinking her milk she spills it everywhere along the walls!! The floor!! And even inside drawers!! Lmao Her furniture is now on our bedroom! And I have stopped giving her the bottle during day in her bedroom. She gets it at night when she goes to bed as it’s the only time she doesn’t get up at all and actually sleeps. At least there’s that... lol But this is also the last moments of her doing these things as she is maturing.. and it’s sad even tho it’s hard work at times I wouldn’t change anything. Sorry for the long comment I got ahead of myself and didn’t even realise how much I wrote!! Good luck!

Thx Lyn!

Oldladytoofast I agree with you, just do not have the stamina like before🤣. Stay healthy and stay safe 🙏

@@pohliantay2850 If I'd known I would live this long I probably would have taken better care of myself lol. You take care ❤

In portugal it's impossible to walk on the sidewalks because your feet become stiff and they are always broken. The small tiles they use need a lot of maintenance

Is your heart empty baby will you be my lover

Nicole is a great example of creativity.
