From Phoenix AZ: "Hey, is that ol' Johnny Remodels His Own House?" "I dunno, let's hang around his house and see if he remodels it himself." "I bet he does!"
Thanks for the video. I had to tear down a partition wall in my basement due to a wall leak and rebuild it including a door jamb I closed off, so this was helpful. I'm actually turning the old door jamb into a wide shallow built-in for canned goods. Can never have enough storage!
I've been using that same trim puller while remodeling our 130 year old house, and it's been great for saving antique trim pieces that I can't replace or replicate.
Very good job at explaining in a calm and professional manner. I Have the ability to take a single screw out and not be able to screw that same screw back in that same spot, it's a gift I have.
Wow Matt. 550K subs, that’s amazing. You have earned each and every one. I’ve been here for a long time and have enjoyed the content, you’re an excellent craftsman, explain how and why. TY
I have a similar project where I need to slightly move a doorway over, but not close it up completely. I think this video should get me most of the way there. Thanks!
Hi, great video, really informative and well instructed. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to do this if you have a transition between the two rooms that is not even? So the threshold is lower on one side of the room than the other. What’s the best way to even that out before attaching the bottom plate?
A framed opening in the wall like that is also a nice opportunity for a semi-recessed bookcase, a shallow display niche, art niche, or even an interior window depending on your plans for the spaces.
We don't have a table saw (and it never occurred to us) so instead of ripping down 2x4 when we closed our doorway we used thinner drywall on one side. Reno is always about problem solving.
Love your videos. Have been watching for a long time. I worry that tile is going to crack under that framing. Keep us posted. I don't want to be right in this instance, but I suspect it will happen. :-)
@@TheFixerHomeRepair G’day mate the stud adhesive does stick strong, but doesn’t really affect demolition, as you aren’t re-using the old plasterboard anyway, so a smack with a hammer does the trick Also the adhesive helps eliminate screw pops, especially in ceilings Love the content you put out, my favourite TH-camr by a mile 👍
I am curious, are you planning on moving the light switch from its current location ? You said it needed to be inspected before you closed it up. And if that would be part of it ?
just imagining a world where one does this instead of buying one of those fences to block of kids and dogs lol good on you for starting so quick after just recently explaining the plans!
All people have a tip about that little Bow in the lumber call crown most people use the mix up between crowns they make it into a wavy wall which is unacceptable all crowds must be facing outside the wall casing.
Have an opening in the wall too and was thinking about closing it out. Only thing is looks just like a wall, no framing. Really don’t like the inspection part though. Thank you
Any reason why you didn't put the studs evenly spaced "on centre" ? You keep saying on centre but you were measuring from the left side. Just seems off to me to not make the studs evenly spaced in the gap.
Great step by step demo, rough framing and quick drywall install. The only thing is you intentionally left the tile and carpet then framed right over it. That would drive me crazy, there is no way I could do that.
Haha yeah I get it. It is all part of the plan, there is no way I was going to cut that tile and make a mess/cause way more work when I am likely going to tear it out down the road. At that point I will just break it out of there and add some shims. Easy peazy. If this was a structural wall I never would have done it this way. Thanks for watching!
Hey you get S*** done and I commend you for that!!!... But... (You knew there was a but coming) But, why didn't you remove the carpet and shim up to tile height on that side, or better yet remove the tile and carpet and attach your bottom plate directly to your subfloor?... Would have taken minimal extra effort and produced an even better end result...
🤣 it’s all good. My reasoning is that I just didn’t find it necessary, the studs are only holding up a few sheets of drywall… also, I am eventually ripping that tile out and the carpet. at that point I will shim under. No big deal.
I so would not have put the bottom plate on top of the tile and carpet. I also would not have closed off that opening or been cutting that room into tiny areas.
Yesterday: - "I have no desire to close off a doorway, I will never close off a doorway or even attempt it." Today: - "no door is safe from becoming a wall in my house"
Too close to the wall partner…arms length minimum based on entry type, kit, stack build and size of team. Amazing how a flash bang becomes priceless in those situations.
Sorry but that bottom plate isn't going to fit flat. and when it's time to remove the tile your going to have a space under the wall plate. Do it right and cut the tile and carpet out.
Or I will just shim it when the time comes. That is the great thing about working on your own house and leaving things for "the next guy" because that guy is me. 😀👍
I'm halfwat through your video where you're about to place the bottom plate. STOP!! The correct way is to cut back the carpet AND cut back the tile to the sub floor!! C'mon....You know that!!!

I'm remodeling my house, and I've learned so many awesome things from your videos. Thank you for making my work easier.

Awesome to hear! And thanks for the shoutout a few weeks ago! I really appreciate it!

I am literally salivating for the multi-part reno videos for this huge house. Wow! Going from one room to three - amazing!
You give easy guidance and with the reason to follow the instructions, nicely done
Very good job at explaining in a calm and professional manner. I Have the ability to take a single screw out and not be able to screw that same screw back in that same spot, it's a gift I have.
Thank you Matt for the video! I loved seeing the way you explain why you are doing things. Koda is so cute!!❤
I love watching you work, you make projects seem so easy. All those years of practice!
Great video! this will help me a lot. I had an idea of what to do, but seeing it done is very helpful
Thanks for sharing your talent
Thanks!
Great job! Really like that trim removal tool.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks so much! And thank you for all of the support throughout the years! 😃
Nice to see you again.......Hope to see the finishing episode soon........
I'll miss the 90's wood, but excited to see your finished remodel!
Good to see you again. Take care. I get a kick out of you putting 1/2 of a wall to keep kids out! 😆
🤣
Thanks for sharing! It’s looking good!
Lovin the pry tool. No seen it before. Lovin the idiot proof instructions . Thanks for vid. 👍
I have a similar project where I need to slightly move a doorway over, but not close it up completely. I think this video should get me most of the way there. Thanks!
Awesome. Hope it helps. Good luck with the project!
How come you didn't cut the tile or the carpet back? I think I would have and put the bottom plate on the ground.
It just really wasn't necessary and would add a lot more work, especially cutting the tile back. Very messy too!
Ah. Answered my question.... lol@@TheFixerHomeRepair
@@TheFixerHomeRepair lets hope you don't change the flooring in those rooms... or the next person doesnt want to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@TheFixerHomeRepair tile I can understand, but the carpet?
Did this in my house with a very similar situation. I cut the tile back to expose subfloor to make future flooring changes much easier.
Hi, great video, really informative and well instructed. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to do this if you have a transition between the two rooms that is not even? So the threshold is lower on one side of the room than the other. What’s the best way to even that out before attaching the bottom plate?
Damn I actually wanna do this. This is really helpful thanks.
Nice work as always. Curious, any reason why you didn’t trim the carpet back a little? 9:00
I agree carpet should have been trimmed
nice tutorial.
A framed opening in the wall like that is also a nice opportunity for a semi-recessed bookcase, a shallow display niche, art niche, or even an interior window depending on your plans for the spaces.
Very good point!

Love your videos, wish I was younger, I could reno my old mobile home?
Love your videos. Have been watching for a long time. I worry that tile is going to crack under that framing. Keep us posted. I don't want to be right in this instance, but I suspect it will happen. :-)
Why wouldn't you remove the tile?
We use stud adhesive as well as plaster screws here in Australia
I have heard of using stud adhesive. Never done it. Can’t hurt though. Just would not want to be the person to remodel next haha
@@TheFixerHomeRepair G’day mate the stud adhesive does stick strong, but doesn’t really affect demolition, as you aren’t re-using the old plasterboard anyway, so a smack with a hammer does the trick
Also the adhesive helps eliminate screw pops, especially in ceilings

That means a lot. Thanks so much and thanks a lot for the info!
Nice work, Matt. Like seeing Koda. 👍 🐕
thanks for sharing a good video
Thanks for watching!
You can get a drywall bit that stops the screws from going too deep, they're cheap money
Thank you! I have a project that I need this info for. Very helpful 😊
Awesome! Hope it helps!
Nice work! Your videos keep me motivated. 💪
Matching the existing stud layout can be helpful as well
True!
mudding/taping - really sucks LoL
You make it look easy bro
nicely done
I'm just curious...why did you choose to leave the tile under the new wall section?
Answered below... thanks
Because it’s his house and he can do what he wants ,end of
TFS❗️
Thanks for posting
I am curious, are you planning on moving the light switch from its current location ? You said it needed to be inspected before you closed it up. And if that would be part of it ?
Yes. All of the wiring needs to be changed in this room. Stay tuned! Lots happening!
So smart to block the access but keep the entertainment visible
What are you gonna screw top of drywall to?
Annnnd we’ve started.. let’s get it done 🎉
😂 I agree
can't believe you have to have an inspection for that.
It’s another money-making scheme.
Question: would you not put a header 2x4 so you have something to screw into for the top of the drywall sheet?
Don't need it. Just going to put screws in at the top of the studs. 👍
The Fixer 👍

You shouldn’t have to get it inspected. I just have to because I am doing a whole bunch of other stuff in that room.
Do you have a video of installing a small window into a bathroom wall that doesnt have a previous opening?
Unfortunately I don’t. I wish I did. 😞

Where did you get the tool to remove the casing
Amazon. Link in the video description. 😁👍
❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome prybar
Why not just cut 3/4" strips off of the existing drywall and screw the new drywall to the existing studs?
You could do that too. More messy and more work but you would save on a couple 2x4’s. 👍
I heard a fun part at 19:58
🤣
Hey, Re-Store, what you can. There are people who would love to have that molding.
u just need three horizontal piece that is it cut it short this not bearing load wall
And you are free to build it that way if you want. 👍
I hope you're renting your old house😊
Koda does not obey construction zone rules 😂
🤣 really he makes the rules in this house haha
It's crazy that door jam wasn't even secured in any way.
I agree but unfortunately it’s very common.
I so would not have put the bottom plate on top of the tile and carpet. I also would not have closed off that opening or been cutting that room into tiny areas.
Good thing it's not your house then I guess. 😉😬
It would be cool for you to transform this into a modern house. Caseless windows and doors, recessed baseboard, etc. looks so good

Do you do product reviews? I have a new product for ReSecuring a door latch or deadbolt. Would like to send you one if you would like to check it out.

um... are you commenting on the correct video? 🤔😂
@ lol…I was commenting on a different video..somehow ended up here! I’ve gotta quit sniffing glue!
You ain't doing no work with that trash can ryobi
Oh yeah? 👌🤣
@TheFixerHomeRepair 😂😂 just talking shit bud 👍
That’s not 16” on center.

The fact that you didn't remove the tile and carpet just ruined it for me. Come on man it wouldn't have been that much more work.
I'm halfwat through your video where you're about to place the bottom plate. STOP!! The correct way is to cut back the carpet AND cut back the tile to the sub floor!! C'mon....You know that!!!
...........bis bald...........!
That is a bummer!!! You didn't cut off tile and carpet from under the bottom plate
