I’ve done plenty of jobs like this, great work! I would just recommend to anyone else looking to take this on: plan ahead for electrical receptacles and to also add insulation within the wall. All the noise from both ends of that wall will go straight through and cause headache down the road.
Yea I would definitely add in insulation, it's so worth it.
Great advice 👏🏽
you can hang drywall by yourself if you learn one trick: measure down from the ceiling a little over 4 feet, and throw a screw in the studs at that height. you can then lift the drywall up and set it on top of the screw, angling the top back towards the wall. adjust it just how you want it and you can screw in each section without needing a second set of hands.
learned this the hard way after drywalling a 9 x 14 room pretty much by myself!
also, even though it was just between two rooms, i would have still insulated the divider wall. not only is it a good sound damper, but it also insulates the outermost wall from the inner space that much better, so that even if it is cold in the outer room, that cold does not translate as much to the inner area. just my two cents.
The dresser turned out way better than expected! Well done!!
Im a brotha from the city ' just relocated to the country and are in process of framing a wall and a couple other small woodwork jobs ' i found your video very helpful ' im in awe ...lucky hubby❤
Job and a half .. better than some guys I've worked with here in the UK... Good job 👍
Very nice. I don’t know why you still get nervous, I’ve been watching your videos for some time and I can tell your confidence level is way better just from watching. Besides you have the talent and ideas to fix it if you ruin something.
If only all mums were this cool and talented. Excellent project. Nice Edit. 👋😀💪
I love how you were able to save the wood on the drawers AND customize it to the room’s aesthetic.
That dresser! Would watch you buy old furniture and revive them anytime, such a cool transformation.
Mrs. Melissa: You not only know how to work, but you also have an excellent sense of aesthetics. Congratulations and cordial greetings to you and yours from Argentina.
Melissa "doesn't know what she's doing" yet can do anything. You are too humble. Room looks nice!
Who says these younger generations are worthless!! I argue they are MUCH more resourceful! and capable Keep it up
Who is this woman’s husband? Bruhhhhhhhh jesuuuuus what a keeper!!!!
She reminds me of my daughter. My Megan isn't afraid to do these things one bit. She does call me and how how to do it, and she gets it done. The other week she called to ask me how to replace her toilet bowl seal. I explained what she needed what to look out for and she completed the bee's wax seal in 15 minutes with no leaks!
Wow home renovation magic! The end result looked professional and chic.
great job, the only thing missing is the outlet on the new wall, one on each side, per most building codes you should have one every 6 feet so you don't need to have extension cords.
Thanks for the tip. I think That’s the stuff we diyers tend to forget to check. Well, at least me!
So fresh and airy. I love a neutral palette, it leaves so many decor options and the dresser blends in so seamlessly:)
You made putting up a wall and door frame look easy-peasy. I'm confident I can do this too. Thank you🙏
It was easier than I thought!
If the space is square it's easy - it's amazing how much structure is neither level, square nor plumb! @@WelcometotheWoodsBlog
@@RogerHoldenthat’s is absolutely true!
Great work! Keep it going. Younger people need to know that this is an industry that you can be successful in.
I bought this as a gift for my friend th-cam.com/users/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
Awesome work, especially with the furniture, the light grey stripe was an excellent idea.
Amazing content. 👏
Such a useful transformation to the space!! Great job! Love watching all your diy transformations, you're ideas and work are so inspiring. Keep up the great work!! ❤
It’s been along time since I’ve built around but my husband and I used to do it together very impressed that you did basically by yourself also I think the dresser turned out gorgeous
What a great space. Beautiful job.
Great job, love how the dresser turned out!
Well done, you're great! Your son must be very happy to have his own space!!
That dresser looks great.
You do a really great job with everything. I always loved doing DIY projects. Keep up the awesome work!
Great job on the whole room but I especially love how that dresser came out. The black lines are so simple but a really great accent!
Love that you built such a cool room for your son!
What a COOL bedroom!!! Really nice
That dresser is awesome!
Love the room but that dresser steals the show! Stunning!
I love your videos! Your editing, your voice, your work craftsmanship, to include cleanliness of space during your work. I really respect all of that!! It's so amazing to watch. Thank you for making it look effortless! 🙏💜✨️
Wow! You're clearly take DIY to another level. Great job.
Wow, so impressed by your DIY skills (and bravery to under take this). Your husband and family are lucky to have a live in handy-person!
Great job! That dresser turned out so good! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great job!
Wow, the dresser turned out so nice!! 👏
I have to say you work harder than most builder i work with. Impressive
i love the outcome! I would like to see the hallway. So curious how the space looks on the outside of the room
Very nice, looks good!
Never cease to amaze me! Pretty work.
That dresser is the bomb 💣
Spectacular job!
Awesome work !!!
I love your channel!
The attention to detail is amazing!
Very inspirational! I have been considering some DIY stuff myself and have had reservations about destroying my carpet. But watching you work/making it look so easy is for sure a confidence booster.
Wow you go girl! 🤩
Good for you! What inspiration!
Looks great
You are amazing! This came out so good!
Gorgeous job! Those beds are the best, my son loved his. The addition of the book shelves is genius.
Wow! Great idea connecting the sander to the shopvac.
That $20 dollar dresser!!! 😳🤘🏼
Very nice looks cool love it brilliant
i would recommend a new tack strip for the carpet on both sides of new wall to help keep it in place or help against accidents later on. great job and looks better than some *pro* jobs lol :)
Awesome job Melissa!!! Almost as awesome as you!
Wow,love this and awesome job!
Wow I'm totally going to make the book shelves on our bed... That's a great idea and saves space in their room
Nice job!
Love, love, love that dresser! As for the wall, that's amazing. Well done! I tackle a lot of DIY but cannot do those big jobs that require a second person as I live alone and I'm almost old enough to be your grandmother now too! I had a similar wall built recently to divide a large open room at the top of my stairs to create a bedroom plus home office. However, I had to hire a contractor do the framing and plasterboard of the basic wall and door opening. I then took over to finish off some of the trim, as well as a small window. Plus painting, glazing etc. I agree it always feels so satisfying. I envy how in USA you are allowed to tackle electrical. Here in Australia, we have to employ qualified electricians to get a certificate of compliance. Can make a job expensive. 😟 I've been a subscriber for some time and love your inspirational videos.
Great job
Awesome to see good job, im adding one to our playroom cause its huge to make another bedroom. Watched this to refresh my memory before going to home depot and get supplies. Been awhile since i done any framing. Thank you.
Great job ! I can't wait to see you tree house video !
3:56 I think I say this at least a 100 times during a DIY project 😂
This is amazing! I love that you saved the wood on the drawers of the dresser. It would've been cool too, if you could have used similar wood on the bed to match the dresser. But I love the black detailing that updated an out of the box bed into something custom! SOOOOO love the gray paint detail you did!! Great job!!!
Ok? You did amazing!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for posting. I want to do an large upstairs room into two.
Well done.
Wow, your work has become so smooth, you make it look easy. That dresser rehab alone could of been a video, your results are amazing. Motivates me to keep going on my house flip!
I considered breaking that part out into a different video, but I like to give my audience a lot to watch in one video! 🥰
I am a big fan of walls and you did a great job.
That's so cool!
Me at 7:30 : "What is she doing? This can't work out very well..."
Me at 7:35 : "Wow! Some people are actually visionary wizards working on a level I'm incapable of understanding!" 😍
Great job Melissa, another task that looks too easy! 👍
Ha, wow thanks ☺️
Wow I loved this
I just love the way that dresser turned out that was sweet
I've learned another new thing from you.thanks.
Im a grandma and i crochet and occasionally make crafts. 😂 What an inspiration you are!!! I’ve only been brave enough to paint walls.
Great job! I've made one room in my current garage a few years ago. Moving and need to make another room and brush off the dust as how I did it. Thanks!
wow very awesome work! I had a basement room that we called the murder room. Dark, dusty, and exposed brick. We framed it and added new lights and now it's a basement pantry since we don't have a lot of room in the house. I wish I could do something more like this with my house but it's pretty much all there. I bought an endoscope to look at some areas that maybe I can get storage rooms out of them.
Love the dresser
Awesome job! You have inspired me!! Thank you!
Thanks for your sharing, I learn new idea to maybe divide the biggest room in our house into 2 small function venues lol
That thumbs up at the end says it all. Well done, very inspiring :)
Amazing

Love that about the wire. That happens to me every-time, I come across diy mistakes and issues working around old items in the build.
Yes! The dresser is MCM! That was a steal!

I will be doing the same in my den in my new build. I don’t have experience. I will also add a pocket door with framing to make it look arched. Wish me luck 😅

Nice work!
