Foam to Faux Ceiling Beams: DIY
Exposed ceiling beams, a living room's way of showing a little skin. I'll show you how I made these out of different material than wood, that was cheaper and easier to install.
Yes, this foam could be a fire hazard, this video is meant for entertainment purposes ONLY, copy at your own risk and peril blah blah blah….

Ultimate DIY Cat ‘Tree’
มุมมอง 23K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
When was the last time you saw someone's cat tree and thought "wow, what a nice piece of furniture". In this video I try to change that by building a cat tree/tower (potato/potatoe) out of one large driftwood piece. I made some mistakes along the way and discovered what electric scissors were.

No Experience Rust Fix
มุมมอง 1.5Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I'll fix a rust spot on my old Audi S4 using a kit from 3M and paint from TouchUpDirect. There are definitely some things I could've done better, or will do different next time, but overall it turned out pretty good for having zero bodywork experience. Lesson learned- don’t be afraid to go out and try something new! Affiliate Links: Rust spot kit: amzn.to/43yacU3
Cheap Back Steps Improvement
มุมมอง 940ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I'll redo our old worn-out backyard steps that lead down to our patio by changing out the wood treads for composite boards, and the wood balusters for flat aluminum ones. I'll also fill in some of the cracks where the wood is deteriorating with Bondo wood filler.

DIY Kitchen Fluorescent Light Box Makeover
มุมมอง 19Kปีที่แล้ว
Many older (and in our case not so old) homes have fluorescent light fixtures in the kitchen that just don't look good. In this video I'll take one of those drop box lights and change it into a more modern light fixture above an accent area in the ceiling, of course on a budget.

    Seems good for younger cats. Will have to adjust this somehow for my elderly cats though due to the height. Any notice whether that crate material is difficult for them to walk on? I definitely see the advantage, but it doesn't seem like it would be that comfortable for their paws, but then again, I don't have paws, so I can't relate. Just curious.

    I am really curious about the effect of the primary air intakes. I understand that adding oxygen to the bottom will generally be better for combustion, but the smokeless feature should only need the secondary air? Could you do a comparison with and without the primary air feed?

    Good video. Only edit to make in that measure twice and whatever - if you put the short side pieces on one end of the long bottom and the short bottom on the sides that stick out, you would minimize the risk of someone noticing all the joints in one place. And you could preglue and paint before the single install. Good idea. Parsimony!

    Sorry, I think that’s stupid. Great idea if you’re building the set for a play. Time is valuable. How much time did you waste trying to make “not wood” look like real wood? Experimentation with adhesives? You could have used nails with wood. This is just goofy. I’m sure it probably looks cool in the end, but come on. I made it to the end. “Good from far, but far from good.”

    If you don’t like the part where you scraped the stain, you may be able to wrap some thick twine at the base. It may help the cat climb up and an easier place to scratch too :) and it’s relatively quick and easy to do! ☺️👍

    Hello! The glue itself won’t eat the foam. However, the aerosol can accelerants are what eat the foam. Try holding it farther away from the foam!

    Very clever on your part. Great job. I was thinking of attaching the pink foam boards to an aluminum roof to dampen the sound when it rains. Do you think it would hold? If yes what type of glue would you recommend that I use.

    • @AverageDadChannel
