Making dinner for the family! Instant Notification.... they can starve for a little bit 🤣🤣 dont disturb me 👍
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Excellent work, but damn, I’m really questioning the choice to separate that room off. Hope you guys don’t regret it
Hm. He could remove it. No problem at all. :D
I personally don’t understand why y’all would want to close off the kitchen. Most people would knock walls down to see the kitchen. Curious to see it all done.
Agreed! Open plan living is a lot nicer!
I know, I don't get it but it's their house not mine, I was shocked when they moved to begin with
I've heard that since/because Covid more people are going away from an open floor plan. They want more privacy so they can work from home.
I still preferer an open floor plan.
@@ChazEvansdale Also it prevents (to a degree) the smells from kitchen from spreading around.
@@ChazEvansdale 100%. Open floor plans are on the way out since COVID.
Hey, nice job!
Just a friendly tip from a carpenter in Denmark. We always use at least 2 layers of drywall on each side of a wall. This helps with sound isolation and also prevents cracking in the seams. Furthermore, we always stagger the joints, also to prevent cracking.
Not only in Denmark. In Germany as well :D
Just use the system of Knauf or any other company as they instruct it to be used. Never had any cracking issues. I guess we will see some cracking soon over the header of the door...
Gotta add a little water to the drywall mud, especially when taping.
why not make the walls the same thickness as existing walls so there was no step down?
with you on that one!
Bcuz fuck it thats why
Yeah, that step down in wall thickness looks weird...
If he had used 2x6 for the studs instead of 2x4 it would have been flush. It also would have allowed for more insulation in the walls to help with the minimal sound proofing. If I had to guess why he did this all you have to do is look at the price of wood. 2x4x16 is about $20 each. 2x6x16 is about $31 each right now.
@@plasmac9 that's what sponsors are for haha
Love your videos brotha. As a single father, Im really aiming to buy my childhood home so i can raise my 8yr daughter in it. Its located in sierra vista, AZ but currently residing in south GA. Everytime i watch tour videos, it still gives me hope and positivity that the purchase can/will happen and that i always get great ideas on what and how i can upgrade the house or any house at that. Thanks for the inspiration to make it happen one day and keep up the great work.
Is the wall texture thing popular it the US? In the UK we spend a fortune removing the 1970s texture and having our rooms skimmed perfectly flat.
We hate it here too
But some people use it to hide imperfections in the walls
In Europe in general it’s hated cause it is very ugly and old, most houses in Greece have that and it’s usually the first mod done to a house
In Cali here- I also love smooth walls
Man how did you learn about all of this. Your knowledge and your parents knowledge is crazy!
Great vid! Love the content as always. It’s like it’s part how to and part TV show.
I'm trying to design my barndominium now and I was debating on whether or not to do EXACTLY what you did in this video. I'm glad I get to see you doing this so I can visualize it first hand for myself.
Dude, your editing skills.. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Super creative. Love how you keep it moving too, and don't go to wild with the B-roll
Nice addition with the walls. Can't wait for the doors and then the fireplace upgrade. Entry gonna be🔥🔥🔥🔥
I mean when you eventually sell this home and move on, the new owner will be astounded by the amazing work you all have been doing! Makes me do a better job in my house with all the projects we create!
Nice work. Another Great Video!!!! :)
Would really like to see more of the actual work happening in real time instead of time lapse and jumps.
Incredible!!
Great vid as usual! Hey, couple suggestions: Sheetrock top down, then the remainder gap is at the baseboard which is easier to cover than a gap at the top. Also, when making up a 2x header, spacers are great, but fill it with OSB or 1/2" plywood. Glue and screw it, then the plywood gives a lot more vertical load strength, not to mention that the 'sandwich' keeps the 2x12s from possibly splitting.
Can't wait to see the barn doors!
Great concept video, There are still be many details to work, looking forward to seeing the finishing details. It appears there gaps between the base boards and wood flooring. Also suggest more detail in your content, for example the code reference that read: the whats and why's? The header assembly and wall was great detail.
Awesome keep up the good work
Should have staggered the plasterboard joints over the header, you’ll get crack lines.
Home is looking beautiful
oh, building a wall back in. back to the 90's it is.
I didn’t even know people still wanted textured walls or ceilings. I just learned to plaster to cover up this effect in my house. Each to their own, great job on the drywall, the house is looking great.
The texturing is 100% to cover up a shitty drywall installation.
Easier to try and match what is there then try and remove it from the whole house. It's common, at least in America, because its faster and hides issues with the drywall install.
That’s gonna look good
Wait all week for this!
Make it look so easy!
This wall is so far from what could be considered "sound proof" even before you consider the massive sliding doors which will be a huuuuuge noise leak. A 1x1 gypsum wall with wood studs on 16" centers and mineral fiber only gets you STC 34. STC 50 is the minimum standard for noise control in buildings which blocks around 3X as much noise as an STC 34 wall and STC 60 is twice as good as that and still wouldn't be considered sound proof.
I know it's to get more clicks, but man, every time I see these types of videos it drives me crazy.
Yupp
When he said 'sliding barn door' after explaining he wanted to soundproof it, I couldn't get over the conflicting ideas. Beyond the materials used (I don't know enough to get into that), you can't seal off a room with a door like that and expect the result he's after. And from a personal standpoint, sliders are great for pantries, cupboards, closets, etc. I don't really love them for rooms.
Why wouldn’t you make the wall addition the same width as the preexisting wall?
They'll be adding barn doors I believe. So they won't stick out too much maybe? Idk.
@@devchonka18 But they centered the new narrow wall on the old thick wall, if that was the case they should have putt the step down all on whatever side is getting the barn doors.
💖💖💖💖💖 Well Done !👍🏻👍🏻
Sehr Gut Lieber Bruders💙💙💙
Have you guys thought about maybe sliding french-doors with a huuuuuuge metal handle? OMG.. it would look so cool
I see 2 missed opportunities. Why didn't you insulate with Rockwood or polystyrene in the wall? I know its just a separating wall, but this will also help with sound insulation as well. And then why didn't you match the width of the existing wall? With the track and barn doors it will still poke out beyond the width of the original wall.
I still enjoyed the video. Don't take this as I think you did a bad job, I'm just curious
Edit: Disregard my first question, didn't see it as I am working and was only kinda watching the video
He used Rockwool insulation bro
@@chriss8328 you're right, I must have not seen that part. I was working and half-assed watching the video.
@@chriss8328 updated my original post
I have a hopper in my garage, thank you for showing me how to use it 😂
this makes no sense to me... you enclose the room that used to make the entrance feel open and you made the wall smaller than the existing mall (thickness wise) so you just have a random corner in the middle of your wall?
If they leave the barn doors open most of the time it will still feel open. The step down is weird and they should have just done it on the side the barn doors are going on, to make them feel more flush when open.
*me in my car when you make a new video* crashes into 7 cars plus semi finally got so where with internet, just broke a few bones
10:50 "Terra firma" definition.... the more firma the less terror!! Or something like that. The more you tackle jobs at hight the easier you'll feel while you are up there, it's the whole "practice makes perfect" principle. I've worked with people with a whole range of fears and people can always get better with their fears as long as the correct systems are in place - that can be anything from safety equipment to emotional support..... normally a lot more emotional support. As long as the systems don't fail or leave the person feeling vulnerable people's fears can get easier to manage. In your case, I'd suggest a decorators platform instead of a step ladder as they are a lot more solid and have the benefit of offering the use of a safety harness for higher working areas. Love the make over, keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Nice addition to the home! It's all coming together. What's next?
Okay but why though? I feel like it’s prettier as one big open space without the walls…?
Why was any of this necessary? The house seems dark and cramped now
It must be a cultural thing. They're first generation Russian immigrants (meaning their parents immigrated here).
There's no need to wet sand or sand at all between coats. If you're doing any type of sanding between coats you're putting too much mud on. Sand only when finishing.
2 e-boxes behind the wall mounted tv, run electrical up to one and a double gang for surround sound unless you're into blue tooth; please hide them cables! and not with a plastic strip. ya dry walling get at it lol
like the work though!
spending all this money on the renovation you would of thought he would of used 2x6 studs so the wall was flush lol.
Is it possible if you can do a review on particular brand name tools? Considering getting some, but just want some advice.
Why build a load bearing wall under an already secured load? You went through all that trouble, then used screws.
I'm interested as to why you decided to roll it instead of spray it? You have a sprayer why roll when you can spray?
Just like my husband. Has issues with zipping his zipper. Actually the very day I met him…his zipper was down. I said to him, “XYZ.” I had to explain to him that it meant…examine your zipper.
GREAT job! With those super high ceilings and very tall walls, is there a projector in the future for this room? I hope there's a sponsor out there to step in and help you out with that. Have a good one :D
So nice to see you putting up a wall , I am sick to death of all this open plan crap, IMO yes its nice to sit with you family but doing it all the time would drive me mad , and then the only other option is to go to your bedroom YOU HAVE A LOVELY BIG HOUSE but spend most of your time in your 14x12 bedroom . I would love to see what all these open plan houses are like when the kids are teenagers and don't want to be anywhere near there parents LOL .
You have a big tv set (not jealous at all) and a close standing sofa. Don't you have a feeling that your eyeballs want to wander behind your ears to see the whole picture? :D
Standing there waiting for his que at the end like 🧍🏽♂️
Tell ARIAT to ship to CANADA
I find it fasinating that un the US all the framing is made with wood, here in Eastern Europe we do all of that with metal framing.
I completely agree with you. Every addition that I have made to my house I’ve used metal stubs.
I completely agree with you. Every addition that I have made to my house I’ve used metal stubs.
That’s $1.01 worth of mud you spillin @12:07
:) :) :) good one!
Make 2 hooks and hang your vacuum under/on your ladder. as you move the ladder, your vacuum moves.
how come you didn't do this before installing the floors? great work! just curious! I know nothing haha
Alex, are you gona move the electrical for convenient access or leave the switches in the original position?
I honestly don't understand closing that room in, as well as the opening thought to the kitchen/dining area? Maybe I'm missing the vision, but there's now a dark hallway, and a boxy room. I think it looked great walking in and seeing straight through to the large windows. My choice would've been to knock the wall out between that area and the kitchen, a true open feel.
Exactly. The opposite of “open concept”.
Nice video as usual... do you know the brand of the beige trouser @8mn34? Thanks a lot and take care :)
i hope theres enough blocking in the wall for the giant barn doors youre gonna put in.
I might be wrong, but at the end of the video you can see some wood near the entrance, I think the barn doors were already installed when he recorded the last part of the video.
I was thinking the same thing 😂
I think instead of splitting the difference in the step down I would have put it all on the side the barn doors are going on (I assume the hall side?) so that they don't stick out into the space as much. I was also confused why the floor trim wasn't the same height all around.
Should mention to viewers that not all screws are ok for connecting struts/framing in general. Most screws break instead of bent with the stresses caused by house movement.
A lot of wrong with this video but that's not one of them. The wall is not structural so the type of screws they used were fine. Structurally speaking you want to frame using nails with a ring shank.
@@plasmac9 Tell more please. :) I honestly would like to know.
I did think his mud job was slightly sloppy compared to some people but as long as it looked good to him I though that was OK. I also wouldn't have joined the walls with 1/2 the wall having a different thickness but that is a personal choice in my opinion.
🖤🖤🖤🖤
I like 45 minute mud for larger stuff, but for whole walls... regular stuff. Also, hot mud is harder to sand. I've heard that... I wouldn't have learned that from using the wrong mud on the wrong stuff or anything ;-)
What drill bit are you using to pre drill into the concrete for the tap con screws? I’ve been struggling to find a bit that lasts long
The drywall guys watching this video must be just laughing. There is a reason they texturize EVERY wall.
so the light switches are not near the entrance to the room now? This seems like a "we need some content" type of decision. Is there a separate living room somewhere? This hardly counts as a bonus room.
The kitchen is connected to the main family/living room
Love your channel and your videos. Until this one - I was 100% with you and the changes you made to your home, etc…. Sorry Dude I would have added that wall - you place and space so good for you if you’re happy. That said, good instructional video for adding a wall - I prefer to make sure the thickness matches or is larger.
What sander do you use boss? Cant find an electric orbital
Don't they typically assemble the framing before erecting it and bolting things in place?
God those textures are shocking, i guess it's an American style. I couldnt' think of anything worse to have onthe walls. Apart from that, this looks amazing! Great work
Lol no one caught your zipper being down for a hot minute around 9:40
🧐
what brand is that orbital sander you got there?
I’m curious why you didn’t choose to make the width of the addition wall the same as the existing wall? 🤔 I feel like it looks rushed together almost, but still came out good!
For the ariat boots do you need to wear heigh socks to avowed blisters
At this point I think you are messing with me about the texture. I love all of your work but the way you texture drives me crazy 😂🤣 other than that, solid work, man! 👌👌
16:27, there's a gap.
4:10 why don't you use nails instead of screws?
The only reason you should add a header is if it was a loading wall. No need to add it in this case.
12:24 that awkward moment
What's with the wall texturing, it looks right out of the 80s. Should we expect popcorn ceilings next too?
If the rest of the walls are textured, which they are if you watched the kitchen videos, it would look incredibly stupid for this one to not be textured.

Gunienly curious, but aren’t you supposed to remove any drywall or plaster between the plates or studs when expanding walls to ensure there’s no structural weaknesses?
He talked about why they didn’t have to do that near the beginning of the video.
@@karenmitchell6814 I’ll have to give it a rewatch, must have passed in one ear and out the other. Thanks!
@@zackmccauley2266 he talks very fast and the guy working with him was the one that looked it up. Hope that helps.
Put Dawn dish soap in your mud and it will spread smoother. Another plus is it smells better lol
How much soap do you use?
@@rchavez5056 1 bottle per pan
@@chriss8328 Per pan or box. That seems like a lot of sope for just 1 pan of mud.
Don’t you wish there were pink or blue primers that dried white but made it easier to see where you’ve already applied it? White on white is a bit harder to work out if you missed a spot or not 😅
I normally get the hardware store to tint the primer to an off white colour like antique white. It’ll be enough of a difference against a more pure white colour that you can see where you’ve been but also not so dark you have to triple coat.
What is cheaper MDF or plywood?
No moisture barrier on concrete?
I had no idea putting a wall up was considered building a bonus room haha
11:15 don't forget to feather your edges
Please don't ever use Plus 3 for setting tape or mudset types of corner bead. It's too soft of a mud and has no polyvinyl. Meaning the adhesion / mechanical bond of the tape isn't there. Use topping or all-purpose.
Where is the videos about finishing it off fireplace TV all those things where is the video for that?
Is it bugging anyone that the new wall isn’t flush with the existing wall or is it just me? 😅
How tall are the ceilings?
U should have put a door which goes into the wall
I like your videos very much, but can videos be more loud please.
Arm chair renovator here, why not order16' drywall and hang the long side vertically, wouldn't you have about 2 seams above the door max? Maybe 3 max, and you wouldn't have all those seam lines to tape and mud.
I may be wrong but I don't believe they sell 16' sheets of drywall. I think 12' is the longest.
Weight
@@rchavez5056 it can be ordered. It SUCKS to move around but it can be ordered (at Home Depot at least)
@@MikeTako012 Oh OK. I didn't know that.
I can see the next owner. Rip out the wall and open up the space
A header isn't needed on a non load bearing wall.
