Wow, definitely a stressful moment. To find that “flaw” the day (or 2) before delivery day. Great fix on your part. Have a great trip. May God keep you safe always.
I think the tiny house is amazingKen, and actually notching out the corners of that trundle bed I think improved the flow of traffic through the home. Life’s a learning curve and you navigate through it well!! I’m excited for the next project , the gypsy caravan!!
Nice recovery Ken. It was after all a pilot project and only became a deadline project after it got sold so quickly in the build process. Your next tiny house is going to be the beneficiary of all you (and us) learned during your build. Your final product does look wonderful. Thanks again for taking us along the journey.....
The cut off corners make it much better to get around the bed. I find that my mistakes sometimes end up being genius. 😁 great job! Now you’ll know what to do for the next one. 😊
Hi Ken. My partner & i have had 3 Caravans & on the last one it had a fitted bedroom with the corners taken off for ease of use & we still found it to be so comfortable. She also found it easier to make th bed the next day. I like the way you adjust to the problems so well done with the tiny home & have a safe journey. Take care to you & Dan.
Great recovery. Its hard to plan for everything. You had a lot going on in that little house and its tight quarters to say the least. At least you have the peace of mind knowing you corrected that safety issue. I know I hate when I make a mistake as well. Its all good. Thanks Ken!
Why the deadline rush? I always tried to have a extra day before I had to make a delivery to allow for problems that pop up. That way you have some time to fix them, and if there are no problems, then you can prepare your tools and truck, think thru the job and plan for any problems that may arise there. Its less stressful and gives you a breather. Good luck on your delivery and set up.
Good morning 🙏 KEN Guten Morgan. 🙏 YOU did an excellent job. Hope you kept the 2 mattress pieces. They could make 2 throw pillows. Be grand to see you and Dan together. Thank you JESUS ❤❤❤. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Ken, you must be good at filleting fish because that technique sure worked well on the mattress😁. Hope you place a sheet of cardboard under the bed supports during transport to prevent scratches. Potholes can be nasty. Hope you put the camera in the back so we can go along on the ride😁. Great job on the build!!
No Ken ! Don't Burn that Scrap Wood ! Save and use them for some other project !! At the price of lumber, that wood is too nice to burn in a Fire Pit!!
Great job Ken. We had two twin beds pushed together with a king 6 inch thick mattress in our spare room. When my son and his wife moved, we put the twin beds on two walls. I used a bread knife to cut the foam and ordered two twin covers like you have there. I like the way you saw the problem, changed the design and did the work. I would have been frantic, LOL. Skills pays the bills.
At first I thought no do not cut the bed, but you proofed me wrong. It looks great and much better to be able to move about. Looks great. Drive safe🙏❤️
Tiny home is beautiful ken ,sometimes when a mishap occurs ,then end result turns out to be the best design ,or beautiful result I actually like the new look better on the Murphy bed
Guessing the next build will have that larger kitchen sink being swapped for a corner style bathroom vanity. I guess the point here is why have a big sink for dishes and pots if there's no cooking facility? For outside cooking / cleaning maybe build a sink into one of the outside pull-out drawers?
Well well well you just proved your human 😂 Thank God your one smart cookie 🍪 and fixed the problem. With the amount of space I would have had two single hide a beds 😂 Nice job!!
That heartbreak moment at 4:41 Knowing there is no easy way out Feeling like you have let down the client even though they are ok with it An actor would have had a tough time conveying this frustration as well you did here. Anyone who takes on difficult tasks that are outside of our normal wheelhouse knows this feeling, but if you dont push through , the world stops making progress
Nice save Ken. (I've always slept double in a "full" size bed. But a lot of military housing can be on the less roomy side, so a queen really congested the room and a king was really out of the question. I think the difference between a full and queen is only 6 inches, so you would still be out of clearance.)
I feel that part of the answer is making the kitchen sink into a bathroom sized sink, then maybe making the whole house a foot or two longer. Also, making that single bed into a pair of bunk beds to gain floor space.
I don’t get the fixed plywood legs (for lack a better term). I think some sort of collapsible/folding legs would lend to more space when bed not opened.
Well that bed will be fun to make with the corners cut off. A full size bed would have made your life easier. There was probably not a queen bed back when you grew up. Most of those mattresses come with a special knife in the box to open the plastic wrap.
Definitely a 🤬moment. I have a full size bed, and I’m very comfortable. I had noticed some clearance and space issues in the Murphy bed, but my concern was just having adequate pathways for evacuation at night.
New subscriber here, in north Texas. I wanted to say that the little house looks amazing and your trouble shooting skills and attitude are beyond incredible! I know what you did with the mattress was on a time schedule and you didn't have time to order anything and wait for it to be delivered, but next time you might want to look into the RV mattresses that are available online. You can order various sizes with the corners already notched out and bedding etc. So next time you build one like this, it's something to consider.
Finally got to see this. Oops, major flaw in design? I like the sliding drawers you're going to build! Rats, only 11 inches between the wood stove and the corner of the Murphy bed. So sad. I never noticed this. So you're going to do this on each end of the Murphy bed. It makes sense that you'll be able to walk by the bed to the bathroom now. So sad this had to be done. I'm glad you got this figured out before you delivered it. I hope these adjustments go easily so you can deliver the tiny house on time. I like the fill-ins you made. I think a reading light in there would be a great idea. Nice job putting the polyurethane on the new wood. Nice mattress! I hope you made your delivery time okay. Thanks for this video Ken!
It is done now but I was always wondering about putting a queen size bed in a space that size at all. Seems a full size would be more appropriate. I think it would have been faster and easier just to shrink the frame down to that of a full size mattress. That way the owners could decide if they want an innerspring mattress some time in the future. I hope you and Dan had a good trip.
Lol! You're a Lefty! Sign of perfection!! My son and granddaughter are Lefties. Everything has to be done correctly or it gets done over!!! My sweet granddaughter just got out of the military. She's a marksman, sharp shooter, and a granade specialist and a diesel mechanic!!! So I know alot about left handed people. Nice job! God Bless you for being a honest man 😊
I never cut corners. My solution to this minor problem would be to move the wood burner a little bit up, maybe 6-8 " and still maintain the required distance to the ceiling and add heat protection just above on the ceiling.
Awesome job. A lot of love went into that build. Love how you figured out what to do to fix everything and it looks great. Take some time and just get things organized for the next build. Are there any old train museums around you have not visited? Do something for you.
I think corners on the bed are an improvement. looks awesome. a long bread knife to cut foam mattress if u haven't an electric knife works well and cuts real clean. real cute build
Just a smaller bed, would give more walking around room. I’m guessing mattress can’t be returned? People couples have slept on full size beds, for decades, too.
Hey Ken, you did a fantastic job with the Tiny House but it's tough to please a new home buyer, it's probably best that you built garages, just easy in and easy out. Hope you have a go at another Tiny home in the future but maybe a "bigger" one lol ! I'd hire you in a NY second you are the BEST !
I wouldn't do that. The heat can go right through the metal. if you did do that and your bed or something caught fire the insurance wouldn't pay out because you didn't follow the installation instructions.
In caravans in the uk, we often find beds with an angle taken out of one end, to aid access, so your spot on. I'm not sure about both ends?. Nice job tho.
I didn't envy your situation but I'm sure you're able to pull it off. Working around problems always teaches us other things about life. Be sure to travel carefully and God be with you.
if it was me I would made the bed smaller if you had made it six inches smaller two people could still sleep in it still great video Ken with everything went wrong you still did a great job on Tiny house
The major design flaw turned into an improvement to the tiny house. I admire your integrity to make things right.
Thanks
With all the trails and errors; you're still the sharpest tool in the box... 😊 Kudos 👏
Hahahaha thanks
It's not a flaw, it's an improvement!😁
Definitely
The Tiny House has been an interesting journey. Thank you for taking us long. Have a safe trip with Dan.
Thank you! Will do!
Wow, definitely a stressful moment. To find that “flaw” the day (or 2) before delivery day. Great fix on your part. Have a great trip. May God keep you safe always.

Nice !!👍 I think it is much better with the extra room to walk around the bed. The bed is still a good size.
I think so too!
Nice recovery Ken. It was after all a pilot project and only became a deadline project after it got sold so quickly in the build process. Your next tiny house is going to be the beneficiary of all you (and us) learned during your build. Your final product does look wonderful. Thanks again for taking us along the journey.....
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
I think it’s a very elegant fix , I think you definitely improved the flow around the bed substantially.
Thanks, I agree
The cut off corners make it much better to get around the bed. I find that my mistakes sometimes end up being genius. 😁 great job!
Now you’ll know what to do for the next one. 😊
Thanks absolutely
Hi Ken. My partner & i have had 3 Caravans & on the last one it had a fitted bedroom with the corners taken off for ease of use & we still found it to be so comfortable.

Great job! Your calm way even in the face of challenge is nice to watch.
Thank you very much!
That was a nice piece of jockeying around that bed problem. Well done, lookin good.
Thanks
Nice save! I know it hurt when you realized you had to make mods at this late stage, but you powered through it like a champ!
Great build, Ken! 😁
Thanks
Great recovery. Its hard to plan for everything. You had a lot going on in that little house and its tight quarters to say the least. At least you have the peace of mind knowing you corrected that safety issue. I know I hate when I make a mistake as well. Its all good. Thanks Ken!

Live and learn! Great job, Ken!
Thanks

Right. I actually thought I had an extra day, but there was a mixup and it was too hard to change everybody else’s schedule.
Good morning 🙏 KEN Guten Morgan. 🙏 YOU did an excellent job.
Hope you kept the 2 mattress pieces. They could make 2 throw pillows.
Be grand to see you and Dan together.
Thank you JESUS ❤❤❤.
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Good morning! Have a great day
The 2 triangle voids would be a nice place to put 2 of the round 6.5" Bluetooth speakers.
I think they might do that
Ken, you must be good at filleting fish because that technique sure worked well on the mattress😁. Hope you place a sheet of cardboard under the bed supports during transport to prevent scratches.

What a shame on the bed, but you have to do what you have to do. Great recovery!! The show must go on!
Right. Thanks for watching
Good job, Ken. You'll sleep well tomorrow night. Then it's a bright, shiny, new project.
Thanks absolutely
Wonderful you were able to adjust the bed than have to start over from square one. It looks terrific. Have a safe trip.
Thanks
Wow! Looks Great! A most excellent solution! 👍
Thanks! 👍
Very nicely done and beautifully finished, Ken! Also the Karate-kick was impressive!
Ha ha, thanks very much
Great job adjusting to the last minute changes, Ken! Everything looks amazing!
Thanks so much!

I think that is a little better. Looks good. God bless.
Thanks
For your next one, use a full , sized, bed! 48" and less work n wood on the bed base. Still sleeps 2 ...
Good catch on this one tho!
Thanks
At first I thought no do not cut the bed, but you proofed me wrong. It looks great and much better to be able to move about. Looks great. Drive safe🙏❤️
Thanks I appreciate it
Awsome build series Ken ,great job
Cool tiny house❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like everything came out in the wash Ken!🤣 Hope you & Dan had a safe trip .... take care🐕✏📐🔨🪚🛏👣
Thanks
I feel better about the clearance space to the wood-burner furnace now, Ken.
Thanks me too
On the fly we call that ,nicely done my friend that is true carpentry skill ...off too work i go 🐊 🌴 😎
Thanks 👍have a great day
Those little bed triangles on the wall would make a good place to hide important stuff
Right
Tiny home is beautiful ken ,sometimes when a mishap occurs ,then end result turns out to be the best design ,or beautiful result I actually like the new look better on the Murphy bed

Thanks 👍
Good luck on your delivery and can’t wait for the next one have a great day Ken
Thanks 👍coming next
Und wieder ein super Video gemacht einfach Spitze Danke Gruss aus Germany und bleibt gesund 👋👏🏻👍😁😊🙂
That heartbreak moment at 4:41
Knowing there is no easy way out
Feeling like you have let down the client even though they are ok with it
An actor would have had a tough time conveying this frustration as well you did here.
Anyone who takes on difficult tasks that are outside of our normal wheelhouse knows this feeling, but if you dont push through , the world stops making progress
Thanks

Greetings. Thanks
What a great fix‼️
Thanks it worked well
A project completed and well done.. they should be more than happy.
Thanks for watching
Wow you're so patient and such a hard worker. I was so glad that you figured out the problem. Looking forward to tomorrow's video. Al
Thanks
I don’t get the fixed plywood legs (for lack a better term). I think some sort of collapsible/folding legs would lend to more space when bed not opened.
Nice work Ken. I bet it was scary cutting into that mattress. Looks good though and you now have a nice walk through to the bathroom.
Thanks 👍yes so much more convenient
Your 2nd Tiny House will be "Perfect". (ha ha)
Thanks for keeping the channel going enjoy your videos.
Thanks for watching!

Ken,you did a fantastic job with fixing the Murphy bed problem I’m sure you’ll be able to get the storage drawers done also 😮😊❤
Thanks. Yup
Ken would have made fold down bunks??☘️🇮🇪🔨🔨👏👏
Cool thanks
Definitely a 🤬moment. I have a full size bed, and I’m very comfortable. I had noticed some clearance and space issues in the Murphy bed, but my concern was just having adequate pathways for evacuation at night.
So true thanks
My Dad always said a good carpenter knows how to cover his mistakes! looks great!
Ha ha thanks
Ken you're such a kind hearted man. Glad to see you are doing tiny houses.
Thanks so much
It’s definitely an improvement. Looks good. Safe travels.
Thanks so much
It's perfect no matter what it looks...I love it!
Thanks
hugely defeating to find a design flaw at the end of a project but you handled it like a pro.
Yes, we got through it. Thanks for watching.

As my friend's Dutch uncle says: It is not normal without complications. Great recovery.

Redo the bed frame to fit a full mattress. Puts you in code and gives you more overall room.
Thanks
Lol! You're a Lefty! Sign of perfection!! My son and granddaughter are Lefties. Everything has to be done correctly or it gets done over!!! My sweet granddaughter just got out of the military. She's a marksman, sharp shooter, and a granade specialist and a diesel mechanic!!! So I know alot about left handed people. Nice job! God Bless you for being a honest man 😊
Haha thanks so much
Also bunk beds are an option for another project
Thanks
I never cut corners. My solution to this minor problem would be to move the wood burner a little bit up, maybe 6-8 " and still maintain the required distance to the ceiling and add heat protection just above on the ceiling.
There wasn’t any wiggle room as to where to put the stove. I like the added character of 45 corners
Trim work looks great!!
Thanks so much
Awesome job. A lot of love went into that build. Love how you figured out what to do to fix everything and it looks great.
Take some time and just get things organized for the next build. Are there any old train museums around you have not visited? Do something for you.
Thanks. I agree. A day or two off would be nice.
I think corners on the bed are an improvement. looks awesome. a long bread knife to cut foam mattress if u haven't an electric knife works well and cuts real clean. real cute build
Thanks
You do fabulous work ‼️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you! Cheers!
Very impressed with your ingenuity and ability to make it function even better than the original design! It’s Per-fect! 👏🏻👌
Thank you very much!
Fun watching a skilled craftsman. I was scared too.
Thanks
Hope you get your knees done soon. I just had mine done yesterday
Wow I hope it went well. Behave yourself
Love the video 😊
Thanks
Nice job , good catch !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
Thank you very much!
Just a smaller bed, would give more walking around room.
I’m guessing mattress can’t be returned?
People couples have slept on full size beds, for decades, too.
Thanks. No returns. :)
Hey Ken, you did a fantastic job with the Tiny House but it's tough to please a new home buyer, it's probably best that you built garages, just easy in and easy out. Hope you have a go at another Tiny home in the future but maybe a "bigger" one lol ! I'd hire you in a NY second you are the BEST !
Thanks 👍I appreciate it
You are a wood surgeon! Great job.
Hahahaha
A full sized bed is 48 inches wide and sleeps two.
Thanks I wanted to make sure they had room
A Full size bed is 54"×74"
I use to work for a furniture store. But you can have a custom size or shape made for a few hundred more.😊
@@sgalla1328 I'm thinking the next build will either be 2 ft longer or Murphy style bunk beds. Maybe both!
Looking forward to the owners reaction! A cute addition to someone’s property.
Also easy to find sheets. With corners cut off of queen size problems with sheets
Many trailer RVs and motorized RVs have a corner cut off the bed. Not to worry, it is just what needs to be done.
So true thanks
Could the stove corner just be covered with metal?
I wouldn't do that. The heat can go right through the metal. if you did do that and your bed or something caught fire the insurance wouldn't pay out because you didn't follow the installation instructions.
It's a shame you missed the 16" requirement, but on the plus side you are well equipped to fix it!
Yes definitely all set
Bad luck you had to make adjustments when you thought it was good to go but it looks amazing! 👏👏👏
Thanks
@ 19:40 best tool to cut foam and foam mattresses if a standard Thanksgiving style " electric handheld carving knife "
If I only had one
@@kenskarpentry ask your wife LOL
Make the ,whole,bed narrower, you have more walk around space, plus an extra shelf ,or pantry on the wall
Thanks
The Murphy Bed also covers the electrical outlets, making them unusable!
Thanks but they’re still usable
Maybe the wood you cut off you can use for a little shelving or something somewhere
Absolutely. Thanks
Great job
Thanks
Why wouldn't you just make the frame for a double size bed? 54" mattress instead of 60". Little Cabin is made to be "temporary" or "infrequent" use?
Thanks
Good morning!
Good morning
Nice job!
Thanks!
In caravans in the uk, we often find beds with an angle taken out of one end, to aid access, so your spot on. I'm not sure about both ends?. Nice job tho.
Thanks
I didn't envy your situation but I'm sure you're able to pull it off.
Working around problems always teaches us other things about life.
Be sure to travel carefully and God be with you.
Thanks so much
now you need a custom fitted sheet set.. oh boy~
Maybe a sleeper sofa would of been a better option or even a propane heater...
Thanks maybe some other project
@@kenskarpentrygreat idea on the fix for this one!!
if it was me I would made the bed smaller if you had made it six inches smaller two people could still sleep in it still great video Ken with everything went wrong you still did a great job on Tiny house
