0:35Tia and her dad fit flexible Masonite strips inside the doorway arches.
5:07Tia begins blending the old chimney patch into the living room wall while her dad works on windows.
12:10A spirit level helps Tia check the floor before planned self-leveling underlayment.
14:40Father and daughter team up to tape and mud the horizontal wall seams.
18:28Tia reviews the horizontal seams and outlines the remaining ceiling, trim and vertical-seam work.

The doorway arches that were giving Tia Weston trouble have finally met a material willing to bend. Working with her dad, she tests flexible Masonite strips, cuts them to fit and nails them into place. "It took like, maybe five minutes with the cuts and everything. Perfect way to start the week," she says.

That small victory opens "It's Turning Out Better Than I Imagined!!", her only new upload this week, which has reached roughly 792,000 views. The episode moves from curved doorways to the less cooperative business of blending an old chimney patch into the living room wall. Her dad tackles window framing while Tia works the mud, and neither seems especially tempted by the other's assignment.

Later, he makes a concession that viewers have picked up on: "I feel like you're better at working with mud than I am." Comments dwell on their easy division of labor and his willingness to let her direct the project. Other viewers arrive with a virtual toolbox, suggesting primer for the Masonite, reinforcing mesh for deeper patches and an access panel for the bathroom plumbing. The episode also includes a sponsored dog-food segment with Mellow.

The new video is the channel's busiest upload right now, followed by the previous two renovation installments. Across the channel, subscribers grew modestly over the week, although the current daily views are about a third of their usual level. Nearby in the home-and-DIY group, Not the Worst Cleaner had a larger subscriber increase, while DT Restoration had a quieter week.

Back inside Tia's house, the satisfying sweep of a finished seam comes slowly. She says the kitchen's horizontal seams alone took two and a half hours. Vertical seams, ceilings and trim remain on her list.

What viewers say

As someone tackling a complete gut-to-studs renovation myself, I can tell you the construction is the easy part compared to having the patience to explain everything while you're doing it 😂. Your dad's a natural teacher. The knowledge he's passing along is worth more than the finished house. Great stuff from both of you!

Your dad is totally amazing. My own late dad was a very similar man....handy, quiet, calm, sweet. Spending this time with your dad has brought mine back to my heart, and for this I am so grateful.
