  • We're tackling on doing a under staircase makeover, transforming the current coat closet/storage into a butlers pantry/bar area. But first its demo day, and we ran into a problem, like always.

    The first half of the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

    When you modify a load bearing wall your supposed to build temporary supports. A 2x4 across the floor and the ceiling with 2x4s between as needed. Then do your demo. In this case you were probably fine because it was a short section of wall. But for anyone watching this, modifying a load bearing wall and supports go hand in hand.

      That's what acroprops are for.
      It that was load bearing, it would have sagged or collapsed.

    • @TPen
      @TPen 4 роки тому +12

      That "header" didnt even have cripples under it .. it was nailed into the 2x4 beside it only .. transfering weight through nails lol

    • @chenrunli3354
      @chenrunli3354 4 роки тому +6

      Right! It's really important. Everyone please likes these review to the top. I think the beam/header just supports the up floor internal wall, not supporting the roof, so it didn't take up too much weight. In any case, temporary supports should be built before taking out any structural members.

    • @Josh.1234
      @Josh.1234 3 роки тому +1

      Yeah horrible builder forgot cripples or not load bearing.. and no temp bracing is straight loco.. shouldn't listen to this guys building advice.
      Also he suggested "screws" for framing.. not sure regular screws are code approved due to their low sheer strength..

    If you ever feel like dumping stuff off from your truck bed, try putting a tarp down to make dragging everything out that much easier!!! Less work if the material isn't too heavy. It's helped me out a lot with time management.

      @MissySimpleM 4 роки тому +4

      I LOVE that idea. I'm a dog lover but I'd appreciate a hidden safe more than I would a built in dog house. Especially since dogs come in so many different sizes so it's hard to buid something for a dog that you don't have.

    I love how north american buildings (I don't know in europe) are made of paper and wood. Here in Brazil (I think wood plate is expensive here cuz we don't have straight trees) we use to build EVERYTHING you can imagine from bricks, concrete and iron pillars. Like: oh, I need to build a half wall inside this room... No problem: Brick wall, 1 centimeter of concrete around it, plastering, spackling and paint.

    It's a very small section of load bearing wall and you only had it apart for a very short time, but it's always good practice to support it once you've removed the header from the jack studs so nothing settles too hard. Love the videos man, keep 'em comin.
