A sink and a dishwasher, together!? Mind blown. Be sure to click the link if you are interested in ‪@FOTILEAmerica‬ ’s 2-in-1 In Sink Dishwasher SD2F-P3: bit.ly/3zN96aM
I spent last episode showing you how there were a few things I needed to tackle to truly complete the renovation phase of my trailer tiny house. It is time to enter into designing which means BACK TO BUILDING! The pretty thangs, yay. Today we are focusing on DIY’ing a kitchen sink cabinet (for the first time), very basic beginning plumbing and adding some decor so you can see where the aesthetic is headed for the kitchen. Not to mention I DIY'ed this for less than $500 all together when I got quoted $18,000 for JUST plumbing.

Hi I’m Rachel Metz! I am DIY’er and carpenter based in Joshua Tree, CA with my two dogs in tow. I am passionate about turning a house into a home with any build, design or DIY. Throughout my socials and KZfaq, you can find DIY projects for all levels of builders ranging from makeover content, room refreshes, outdoor projects, home improvement and renovation tips, tricks and more. My goal is to empower anyone that is looking to DIY that they are more than capable to make their house, their home and that they can too in fact pick up the power tools and do it themselves.

I’m going to re plumb my whole house in pex this will prevent future problems also fewer joints and possible areas to leak. I’ve been quoted a price a whole lot cheaper than what you were and not much more than you spent. I’m so excited. I love watching you do this reno it’s so fun to see your triumphs large and small.

So badass! I re-plumbed the camper I live in 2021 when I couldn’t get anyone to come out and redo it. After learning on KZfaq, getting a PEX kit on Amazon as well as some fitting at the hardware store, I redid all the camper lines by myself! It was so satisfying and empowering to fix something big like that! And now I have the confidence that I can do it again whatever my next home will be. I am currently turning 2 sheds into rentals so I’ll be putting my plumbing skills to the test again.
