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.

EASY DIY Accent Wall [Faux Boxwoods]
มุมมอง 727ปีที่แล้ว
Checkout how I transform a wall in our nursery from plain-jane to trendy plant accent wall with just a couple hours and a staple gun. To accomplish this I’ll use faux boxwood panels off marketplace and Amazon. This is a pretty easy project and relatively affordable project as far as accent walls go, I'd recommend it Affiliate Links: Boxwood Panel Option A - amzn.to/3OBEWj2 Boxwood Panel Option ...
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.

I loved your video! Much like you, I like to save money, the concept of this project of yours can be applied to many other projects around the house. Thanks alot.
Your pretty good at CAD, cardboard aided design
Beautiful
Good job!!!
Great job AverageDad. I'm proud of you. 👏👏👏
Awesome techniques!! Thank you for showing us how to make wood grain out of foam. I have no intention of making wood beams. I actually thought you were making a console table. I may attempt to make one using this technique. Thanks again. 💯💯
Wow! That’s a hilarious cat tree. I’d suggest if you replace a common carpet fabric with jute rug or something not less organic, eco-friendly and loft-style then you could probably could sell it for $1500+
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.
Great job
Looks awesome bud! Very creative ❤👍
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?
They look amazing. I love your fire place did you do that too
Thank you! Yes I did, unfortunately it was before I started the channel…
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!
Dollhairs 😂
Great video. Saved me time and $
Glad it helped
Now make a faux insulation board out of wood
Top comment^
Did you dry out the wood or treat it for any insects?
It say outside drying for a few months, didn’t see any insects in it when I started working with it
awesome job
Awesome!!
Is there any spray or maybe Mod Podge that you would recommend in order to seal it?
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.”
Sorry I subscribed on Thursday, only did cause this video was pretty pretty pretty good. By the way I’m super strong so don’t have to use foam, I can use real wood. Only going to use foam cause it looks cooler.
I love it! Great Job!
you didn't have to sand?
I didn’t but that may help with a high grit
I was about to subscribe until you said you don't even like the cat
Fair enough 😄
I'll build a pink house.with this technique and Sell it for $400k. 😁
I will definitely try to do it! Thanks!
This is a badass tutorial
Excellent pretty pretty good!😂 I subbed cause it’s a Tuesday
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! ☺️👍
My hero! Thank you
Not all heroes wear capes
Can you please come and help me and my kitties?! 😂😂😂
Way cool. Well done!
I love how these turned out. I know it’s Sunday, but I subscribed anyway…
Thanks for making the exception Mary, excited about two new videos coming out in the next two months
WOW.. impressive!!
Thanks Wanda!
I make furniture prototypes/models with this pink insulation. 😊
Do you take out bricks on the second row?

I'd love to see a build using safe and non-toxic materials. Thanks!
He said he doesn't even like the cat. He's doing this for aesthetic reasons.
Dang!!🎉
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!
Good to know!
This is extremely impressive 👍🏻 Thank you for this how to video, I've wanted to add ceiling beams to my 1917 barn house for years but didn't want to add the extra weight to my ceilings . This is a great idea !!! 🥰
Thanks!
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.
No idea but if you try it I’d use construction adhesive or something similar to liquid nails. Just know it may not be to code if not covered by something else
What if I don’t have a cat to complete the repair? 🤔😆
Cat recommended but not required 😆
Thanks
We used similar steps to create a faux fireplace. So good, it fooled the building appraiser. Lol We use our maniacal skills for Halloween props. Thanks for the tutorial!
That's illegal dude. If the house is now listed as having a fireplace. Not cool man
@@usa5439 of course we told him. I was just sharing that he was fooled by it. I shared a lot of our other Halloween items with him.
Everyone making fun of this but this is exactly what I need. I have a small blemish on my wood and don’t want to replace the whole thing
Glad it was helpful, good luck!
While I can appreciate the process and ingenuity, I have to say, the fact that you're doing this and planning to pass them off as "real wood beams" to trick buyers is not cool. I'm just not a fan of dishonest people.
Ryan, neither am I, please don’t take everything you read/hear on the internet as fact. Sometimes people with a dry sense of humor will tell bad jokes in videos. The point of the project was to improve the aesthetic of our livingroom and challenge myself, not actual deceive the future owners of our house. Enjoy your bbq
I’m doing this. It’s insane, but I’m going to do it.
You’re insane. Good luck!
Cute til it’s time to clean it
