Still kind of blown away by this.
I won the Rocksteady Tool Co challenge by three votes, which honestly says everything about how strong this competition was. Huge thank you to Kipp and for putting on something that truly celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and community. Winning a full kit is an absolute honor.
Thank you to Leslie & Matthew for trusting me with your home and letting me use your space for this project.
Thank you to Dillon for filming, and to my wife for always backing my wild ideas and jumping in without hesitation.
Most importantly I want to shout out the competitors. Every single one of you brought something special, and I have a ton of respect for your work:
• — incredible high-end tile work out of South Carolina. Absolute precision and craftsmanship.
• — insanely accomplished installer with an original sense of humor that I genuinely admire.
• — Ontario-based legend. Top-tier tile and flooring work, firefighter, and edits like a pro.
• — husband & wife tiling team from Ontario doing beautiful work and making collaboration look fun.
• — luxury installs out of the lower mainland with some of the cleanest filming and ex*****on around.
• — one of my go-to sources for learning. Constantly putting out quality educational content and flawless installs.
• — west coast talent with next-level mud work and floating showers.
• — Indiana-based contractor blending great tile work with slick editing and music choices.
• .ca — Canadian tile contractor specializing in Italian artisanship and beautiful traditional technique.
Proud to be part of this group.
Outlaws for life.
