You guys should totally make a storage bench seat for the dining area along the 2 walls! It's a perfect storage solution that's super easy, looks good, and provides more seating for around the table. Plus you guys can decorate it with nice cushions and pillows 😊
That's a great idea! 😊
Great idea! I agree.
Definitely 💯 agree I didn’t think of this but for sure will help with more tuck away places for your little things. 🤗❤️ 👋🏼 from California USA 😊
Also adding a long narrow shelf along the straight wall above the seating area would give you guys a cute space to add decor like pictures, display items, and little plants to liven up that area a bit and bring more color and interest to it. You can also bring in color and interest with the cushions and pillows on the bench. Make it look all pretty and comfy and inviting! You'd basically have a second couch but bigger, built-in, and has lots of storage space! All of these ideas are super easy to do yourself and are relatively quick and simple to do but overall it does SO much to the space functionally and aesthetically. The benches provide a ton of quick and easy storage that's tucked away out of sight (and you can never have enough storage especially in a small home), gives you plenty of seating and the ability to host more people, plus it just looks good! 😊
What a great idea!
I was glad to hear Jordan. Didn't get to see him or the others though. You all should be in each other's videos, helping each other out on Lola's Farm. It would be good to see you all together more often.
Yes totally agree. It seems strange that you are on the same farm and not in each other's videos.
I agree. Be in each other’s videos a little more.
Agreed!
Rodrigo was in their last video.
@@ashoahmed7391 Disagree. Jordan has his show and Rodrigo has his show, showing his life. Let's keep both separate and keep the choice to the viewers!
Your shelves will be still standing long after Ikeas have fell apart, trust me. You guys are doing an awesome job. It’s a joy seeing you both loving each other and working hard together. ❤
Absolutely true I want u to build me some lol 😂
well until the moisture gets to the unpainted ends of the boards and rots his shelving system away... so many unpainted edges to his boards...
Start harvesting the beans now. It will signal the plant to make more.
You suppose to clean grout off your tiles before it drys or you are gonna have a hard time getting it off!
14:24 It's a nightmare trying to work in an area where you can't even stand up. Turn that area into storage and use your shed for your workshop.
tip: when you did the "counter top" for the storage, put the skinny piece in the back. That moves the seam to an area that gets less use.
Yes, just pick the outer leaves off the lettuce and let it keep growing. Those are nice looking green beans too. You can plant radishes and some other plants in succession, putting in seeds every few weeks to keep things growing as you harvest. The storage area and desk look great! Love the idea of the workshop under the house someday too.
❤hey jungle couple things are moving along nicely shelving is a game changer 🎉im sure Freddie will make it look super in no time at all keep up the good work 😀 love you guys Pete cape Town south Africa looking forward to seeing more progress soon 😀
@@peterrowellranson8649Hi 👋🏼 from California USA 😊
Rodrigo I have watched you build this home from the beginning. You should be so proud of yourself. This home is going to be outstanding. Freddie has made a great addition to your team. The two of you are so much fun to watch working together. Of course, Rodger is the star of the show. My cat loved to sit in baskets and boxes. He would cram his big body into any tiny little vessel and it made him feel cozy and comfy.
Also, FREDDIE the natural beauty confidence QUEEN. May you please inspire the next generation of women to embrace their beautiful glowing natural skin and hair the way you do. You are stunning and your smile makes you even more radiant.
Looks like Freddie is really bringing your home together - it's all about the personal touches!!
Freddie, you are just perfect for Rodrigo! You appreciate the simple things in life, from a happy cat in a box and little lettuces growing in your greenhouse. I love watching you two enjoying your life journey together. Stay happy, stay healthy, Many Hugs, 'Krista
Have you ever thought about cutting you 2x4s down to 2x2s? They would still be sturdy, and it would give you more wood to work with. Just wondering.🙂
DO NOT USE A KITCHEN SPONGE FOR GROUTING. You need to buy a grouting sponge. it’s a big sponge that looks like a car wash sponge. Rinse the sponge and squeeze out all the water and rinse off the tiles after grouting. You’ll have to do it 2 to 3 times. There should only be a very, very thin veil of grout over the tiles after you wipe them down & wait 24 hrs for the grout to dry. This thin veil of grout is easily wiped away after the grout has completely dried. You definitely should not have that thick layer of grout on the tiles while your grout is drying. You’ll find the job is much easier with a grout sponge and it’s very cheap so no excuse not to buy it.
Yes! This…. Finish is key!
So nice to get professional help to perfect your jobs!
Maybe square wicker baskets would give you more space on the shelves but it looks great
You guys, the house is coming along so nicely! Every bit that gets finished makes it look more like a home, good job!
My cat loves when I bring in a box. It’s so cute watching him play like a little child. 😻
Mine too, I don't know what it is about boxes or paper sacks they like to play silly cats. Wait til you open that washer box, oh boy he will love it!🥰🥰🥰🥰🐱🐱🐱🐱
Happy Mother’s Day to you all 😊❤️❤️❤️ hope you had a lovely day 💐
thank you for telling me happy mothers day to i did not see this yesterday.
Don’t forget to remove the blue painters tape from the back of the shelves! The storage shelves look very good Rodrigo and Freddie! You are making a very nice home!!😊❤ P.S. Thanks for the Happy Mother’s Day greeting!! Sweet of you!🩷
I should say a few words about TERMITES. I had to throw out 9 huge bookshelves here in Alto Boquete and make new ones. When termites get into painted wood, it is NOT salvageable once the termites get in. I suggest you get that raw wood treated for termites soonest.
Please do STAT! STAT is a medical abbreviation for "urgent or rush" from the Latin word statim, which means "immediately ".
Funny was thinking about termites and if that was a risk and what preventative measures there are
Roge is adorable. I'm loving the cubby/work station storage. Great idea with the baskets. You def should utilize underneath the house for storage too.
The shelves need another coast of paint but everything is coming together so great and quick!!!! I love the pottery piece with your names that’s so touching
You two are amazing what you've done together to that house. Both of you are engineers and artists! ❤️😁💖
Things are looking amazing guys! Congratulations to you both! Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but if you want to save money on wood filler - you can take the sawdust from your orbital sander and mix it with wood glue :) I just did that to fill some cracks in my hardwood floor
Make a storeroom underneath the house along with the laundry room ,you might have to cut an entrance on the main floor to go down to the storeroom and laundry, make stairs ,so at any time Freddie can go down to do laundry especially at night or when it is raining ,just clean those pieces of wood ,spray the mud for termites before building the storeroom and laundry room
You might think about enclosing the area below the house, and build storage shelves down there.
So glad to see you two as a team. You both look so happy! So glad you found each other from other sides of the planet!!!
Love that you guys live up in the clouds and Roge still insists on lording it over his kindom from a slightly tight box. Funny cat, but just like cats everywhere liking his little box.
Everything is coming together beautifully! The garden, the floor, the storage, the decorations. I'm glad you got a washer/dryer on sale! Bonus! Hugs from 🇨🇦
Rodrigo, you can't have just one area for storage, you must spread it out, get ideas from other tiny house builds, storage for cloths, closets build, storage for food, pantry storage, etc. one place in a corner is NOT a good idea imo. Good luck guys.
It looks good. Just my opinion,the baskets would look better and more useful if they were square baskets with pull out handles. Also another coat of paint on your counter.
About your garden. Both your beans and peas need tall sticks with nets stretched across so they have something to climb up on. Otherwise they will get mildew from being on the ground. Beet greens are also delicious to eat hot or cold in a salad. Put up night time camera's out around the chicken coup. You want to know exactly what type of wild cat is trying to kill more of your chickens. You all need to know so that all of you are safe especially Sadie. You can always buy more chickens or goats, but Sadie is irreplaceable.
Why not make storage under the house? I don’t know why but cats love boxes. Roger is waiting for you to open that huge box lol😅
Also dig down a bit under the house and create an outdoor, but sheltered work space. Oh, I just got to the part where you are actually talking about that, and already using it too 👍🏻
That’s actually a really good idea for storage!! Roger will definitely make a house out of the big boxes 🤣
You two are just so dang cute! Love your new storage place. It is coming along.
Here in the UK we have name plates on the front door. Your surname on it.
This would never happen in the USA!!❤
WOW, the tiled floor looks FABULOUS!
No offense to your neighbors who are pretty maxed out with fun and cuteness...you guys might be catching up or passing them??? 😁💖💖You are so funny, kind, smart, and fun to watch. Loved it when you talked about putting your photo and Rodger's photo on your new shelf. So happy you found each other...better together. 😍
Rodrigo next time when you are putting a top on for counter/ cabinet and you only have room for 1 board and a half of another board always up the half board on the back and the whole board up. front so that the seam is towards the back and less noticeable . Also when using wood putty and white paint get white putty or paint the boards 3 times so you don't see the darker putty coming through the paint. You did awesome building your storage space and will still be going strong when Ikea storage cabinet will fall apart in know time. Now get that laundry room started or build you a lean-to which is 4 post and a top basically a barn with no walls, so you can still build, cut wood etc.. when it rains.
this is very good advice I would also use dowles to join the two Boards together before fixing in place
Don't worry about Roger, it's a cat thing!
Roger is waiting to pick one of the baskets for himself. If he can't get in a basket, he'll find a way to squeeze a space in between two baskets. In my house, we have a smaller version of the IKEA storage units just like you built, and we call it the cat condo, because all 4 cats love to sleep in the spaces.
@@billbuffington3037🐈❤🐈⬛❤
Your new storage shelf and desk would look very nice if you tiled the top to match your floor. That will make an easy to clean surface and a custom upgrade touch.
That’s the key to a no,e! Everything has a place to call home and it gets taken out and put back in. I have seen homes become taken over by to much stuff and nothing gets removed ! Your doing freat😅
I bought Surfshark last December and I am so very happy with it. It does everything that it says it will do. Because of you and Jordan using Surfshark, I was introduced to it on your KZhead channels. Thank you for this! Also, I love your channel and your A-Frame house is coming along so wonderfully. Hope you both get better! Everyone is getting sick around the globe with this stuffy nasal problem. Chow my friends! ❤
Laundry machine security 😸
Just remember you don't have to take the whole lettuce plant just take off the lease and it'll keep growing
Hay Rod I love what you have done I remember you in the tree House. If you had the supplies then that you have now.
Your work station under the house is great just take some dirt out from the floor and make it your custom working shacks on raining days 😊and you can stand better 😊lowering the floor
It might get filled with water in a rainy season if they lower the floor there
Yay! Love when you guys upload! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on and the progress you’ve made 🫶🏽🐾
You two are so inspiring!!😊❤
The house is looking real good guys…so much progress. Small steps, one section at a time, will get to completion.
Cats love tight areas. I had a large vase on my porch and I had 5 kittens and everyone of them would pile in there curled up. It was crazy but cute. I always said you should put you a little workshop under the house. Perfect. The storage looks great. You should have put the smaller plank at the back and it would have been less noticeable.
You guys are rocking this!!!🙌🌈🙌🙌 The storage unit is the bomb!!!👏👏👏 Rodrigo, you are becoming a wonderful carpenter💜💜 I love your designs and Ikea does too!!😂😂
I love how much Freddie loves the animals!!!❤❤❤ less grout....more animals!!!😂 loving the greenhouse!!!! Love to Roger!!!!💘ps: cats like to be up off ground levels. Up high....build Roger a shelf......😂
Your home looks great 👍. I enjoy watching you for the last several years since you moved onto the farm. Keep up the excellent job. Look forward to all of your posts. Sincerely , Debi Wulff in South Carolina
Really enjoy seeing you two work together, the house is looking beautiful. Oh I agree you guys should include Jordan and Kaley in each other videos more often.
Thanks for the enjoyment! Super!
Da Jungle House looks better every week! Hugs and love to you, Rodrigo, and Freddie! ❤️ 💙 💜
You're doing a great job. You do know though Rodger is the king of the house
So much for needing the shelves for storage. Looks like is to actually being used to display decorations. aka new stuff. not to organize the existing and increasing clutter.
Turn the picture frame rectangle way, for top shelf. ❤
Love the shelving, but I would have used slightly bigger squared baskets, you could get more things in , still looking amazing ❤❤❤❤
When are you going to change the name of the channel to Da Jungle Couple? Or maybe The Jungle Couple?
Rodrigo and Freddie loved the plaque that you will put up. Great loving couple. You work together so well and as I said when Freddie started living with you that she is what you were missing. Also that a woman's touch was missing in your build. Now Freddie is there to help and give her special woman touch and that working together always will give you both a wonderful finish to all your projects. Roger is a trip with his box LOL. Until the next one have a safe week and be prosperous.
The baskets look boho in the storage unit! From the brief long shot of Freddie and Rog at :18 secs in, the living/storage area looks beautiful. Can't wait to see the pic of you & Rog.
I adopted your idea from the greenhouse to raise some things in my apt. I like the rows of white tubes. The round woven baskets make the new storage POP. I just love how each project is falling into place. Please don't be hard on yourself. You're getting there. God bless.
Can you take some dirt out to lower the floor under the house maybe a foot so that it’s easier to work under the house
Great idea
Every choice in a foundation area modification has engineering consequences. Including any modification such as lowering the soil depth around the foundation post piers. Doing something as seemingly easy to DIY as that could destabilize the foundation of the building in a substantial earthquake zone. That area they are in gets frequent earthquakes.
Also it would most likely fill with water cause it’s lower than surrounding area
Rodrigo you have come along way my friend, Freddie you've add life and greatness to the jungle love ya both
Rod you are great at building the house, but Freddie is making it a home. You guys are a perfect team and I'm so proud of you.
When my husband and I started out, we renovated homes. We did many other things in our life but I wish with all my heart we had stuck with renovating homes. It’s something we both love to an Excel at that seems like that’s what you two should be doing to. i’m very impressed with both of your work work ethics, and how well you get along while you’re working keep it up you got 50 or 60 years together find what you love to do and stick with that and you have a wonderful life together.
hey, maybe next time if you have a smaller piece of wood and a larger piece to complete a surface. you may wish to consider putting the larger piece in the front and the smaller piece at the back to look nicer. details but your choice. Jordan will be so jealous of your all weather workshop under the house. so you can build very rough storage shelves or whatever with rough cuts or whatever you can find in the jungle. for all your tools and stuff as your little cute cozy storage is very nice but hardly enough. store your junk under the house, don't worry about flooring. do a rough lean to shelter to the side of the house for a larger sheltered work area. do everything rough so less work and you can use it faster and if it break just replace it.
Rodrigo, you were so fortunate that your amazing partner joined the team when you were just 2 floors. She’s added a lot to the process. Nice video. Cheers!😊
You are both doing a fantastic job. You might want to put some kind of clear sealant on the top of the shelves to protect the paint. But looks great
Rodrigo tienen que ir limpiando el grout a medida que lo vas aplicando o después es muy difícil removerlo del resto del piso.
Thanks for the advice 🙏 I thought it would just come off by wiping it but now is way too hard :( I’ll have to use some concrete remover 👍
@Dajungleboy well, at least is just a small section. You both are doing great and I love how the design is coming out.
Great job! Under the stairs is a good place to put more storage by closing it in and bench seating with storage at the dining room table. Keep up the good work!
Yeah another video from you two! I love watching all your hard work and ideas! Thanks for the smile I have now while watching your video!!!!!!!!!😊
Rodrigo and Freddie are loving, genuine, and affectionate to each other and their animals. It is seen in their actions of holding hands, playfulness, and the quick kisses towards each other. They have a genuine interest in each others opinions and are careful to respect each other. The exceed other you tubers by not using condescending click bait titles, too revealing clothing, and tits and ass to draw us in. They respect their viewers as well.
moo moo has spoken. Lovely job on the shelving your place looks more and more like a home each video, and i think you will break Roger's heart if you take away his lovely comfy box. Cats and boxes.. it really is a thing. Cats give each other empty cardboard boxes for xmas!
You need to repaint the raw wood edges, so it looks finished. 😀
You can make a lighter coloured wood filler but using sawdust from your saw and mix it with wood glue, works really well! ❤️🇬🇧
Freddie and Rodrigo, You always brighten my day. Thank you! My wife and I bought our first little house when I was 26 years old and she was 23. We worked together on the house on weekends and nights while working regular full time jobs. We have been married 41 years now and we are working on remodeling a house that we bought that is 133 years old. It's harder and not as fun as it was when I was your age, but it is coming along nicely, slowly but surely. Much love from Craig & Michelle in Utah, USA.
Where in Utah, I’m in Midway
I want to know if you ever told your Mom about the house build, and you tube! She would love to watch you weekly through this process, shes got to be so proud! Tell her if you haven't!
This parrot might be bilingual, sometimes he says meows….. too funny!!! Cats love boxes. It’s a universal truth. 😂 Love the new storage unit. Glad to see that MooMoo is getting some bovine social hours. 😊 She needs some friends!
If your not painting ALL SIDES OF THE WOOD....It's not protected!!! You need to completely seal the wood from all sides.
Suggestion: when you make a counter top and you have a small piece and a large piece, put there smaller on the inside so the seam is more invisible.
Your storage will last a long time versus the cheaper IKEA! The baskets really set it off. Nice job!
It’s looking great and finishes the living room area off nicely.Frankie can have some pretty things in there now and it will feel more like a home.You have both worked hard to get this far.But you have done it yourselves which makes it more special,as well as that you have made some amazing memories.Those are important because as you get older they mean so much more than at the time.Believe me.I am nearly 70 and memories are precious to me .Plus yours are recorded..Sending you both ,and all your fur babies love 🥰
*Freddie...not Frankie
Beautiful project you two. Rather than taking up your open surfaces with photos, I think a collage of frames hanging on the wall of the staircase with all of your animals & personal trips would really showcase them without cluttering clean spaces. Just my 2 cents. Love you guys. Give Roger a kiss for me.
I know it’s too late, but I have a suggestion for the storage room. Put long drawers with heavy duty sliders on the floor, allowing them to pull all the way out, then you can stack shelving on top of the drawers without worrying about how to access things tucked away under the angle of the wall.
Rodrigo, you made a beautiful shelf and Rodger will keep an good eye on it. The decorations on the shelf are gorgeous Freddie! The green-house is full of live🌻
Add more water to grout so that it goes down in between the tiles and holds them tighter to the floor. Gout serves a structural function, making the tile more solid and well attached. (Watch some KZhead videos showing what I'm talking about) Ha!
Yes…I was searching for a comment on the grout. Rod, you need to wipe down the grout before it dries on the tiles. Use a bucket with just water and either a big sponge or a very damp cloth. The goal is for it NOT to dry on the tile surface. I have always done a bit at a time, wiping and being sure no grit is left on the surface by wringing out the water and rinse rinse rinse. You will be so happy with the results. ❤
Actually your shelfving unit for storage is so much better then Ikea, you made it and it's real wood!!! Amazing job! Love all your videos
Cats love boxes & paper bags. The cat me & my wife had loved Pepsi cartons. When he was a kitten he would play and hide in the 12 pack boxes. One day I heard a big ripping sound and started buying the 24 pack Pepsi because I realized he had grown to big for the 12 packs. He would get in them and swat at us a we walked by. He also would get in a big paper grocery bag and swat at us from inside those too.
Some of that space under the house is just screaming WORKSHOP!!! Love what you guys are doing All the way from South Africa
Place your new laundry machines on a storage platform so that you dont have to bend down so much. You can place drawers in this platform to store your dirty and clean laundry, or cleaning products etc. Build another storage area above your laundry machines as well with cupboard doors for more storage. Also use the laundry area to place your dirty shoes and jackets before entering your home with a bench to sit on.
Please (for the love of god) just give Moo Moo to the farmer next door. She deserves to be with other animals. Cows are social creatures. This is why she keeps escaping.
Where your laundry room is where the breaker box is literally from there right to the outside wall I would make a huge closet from floor to ceiling so you have somewhere to hang clothing put your washer and dryer on the where the window is you need to have at least one closet and you to cover up the breaker box. Just think about it.
HEY RODRIGO AND FREDDIE, you are not building a house but building a HOME. ❤
That’s perfect space for your workshop under there !! Genious!,!
Building a house, bur more especially a HOME. I'm 61 and watching you brings me great joy. I never adventured much, was intimidated leaving Texas. Kudo's to you Freddie for taking a leap and finding happiness in a way some of us could only dream of and sharing the adventure.
BUILD ANOTHER SHED FOR STORING THINGS!!! THERS NOTHING WORSE THAN CLUTTER IN THE HOME!!😊
You work well together. My cat sleeps in my bread bowl. So it's hers now. Glad Moo Moo found some friends. Cows are herd animals, so they need others. Your storage is awesome
I would open the washer an dryer box to make sure they work. And not have a defective one, better safe then sorry. Especially if you're not going to open the boxes. Or use them until July. You don't want to be out of your warranty and them say? Oh, you had him for this long and you didn't check them
