Amazing video and this is exactly what I want to do. Too late for me to get such a skillful and motivated husband but I pray to God to be able to raise my son like that. Any wife must cherish a man like that. May God protect you and your family from any harm.
You are never too old to start woodworking yourself. I started at 60, and have done many repairs around the house that would have cost a lot. Plus my sister asked me to come and fix something that her joiner did wrong (but she didn't want to get the joiner back). he did a lot of things wrong. Luckily I had the equipment to fix those things.
Voila ... For probably less than $500 to add this closet, he just PER CODE legally added an additional bedroom to his home which added probably $25-30,000+ in value to his home! Great video bro!
This video was so insanely helpful! I just finished framing a closet just like this. Never framed before. Had a buddy give me some pointers along the way. Also - Those closet doors are the best looking bi folds I have seen. Ordered the same ones for mine too.
Thank you so much for the feedback! We really love those doors too 😃 btw, I might have another home improvement video dropping in just a couple days 🤫🤫
Thanks for mentioning the king, jack and cripple studs. But why didn't you build the wall first and then simply stand them up? I use the sponge method for drywall mud. It cuts out a lot of the sanding.
You can tape and mud a drywall joint that is a 1/4 inch or more. They don't have to be perfect. The real reason to have your drywall off the floor is in case of spills. You don't want a minor spill wicking up into your drywall.
My OCD side that has to make joints perfect can't stand drywall for this reason!😂 That makes sense! I'd thought about that when hanging drywall in my basement (leaving it off the slab so that moisture wouldn't wick into it).
6:48 most helpful tip, I didn't know where to find lumber and drywall and all the supply, Thank you for letting me know that Home Depot sells them all I will step in to my local Home Depot and buy them. 🤪
My dad built three closets that are 2 inches too narrow to hang clothes in AND close the door. 15+ years ago! I wish I was as handy as you. I’d rip them out and do this. My mom would be so happy 😢
Dude, nicely executed! One of the best add-on framing to an existing room. This is the exact same way I do it and believe me, I’ve seen some pretty shady ones throughout my career. This one by far is done simply right! It’s obviously not new construction but it’s actually done right.
one small tip: rather than use glue on trimming, just tack some very shallow oval round molding on. The problem with the glue is that people drag things off the shelves and they can catch on the edge and pull it off over time. Using real wood trim also gives the shelves a nice hand feel.
@@WoodshopMike it is perfect - probably better than it would have been if it had been put in by the contractors, since they don't take that great care.. as they are not going to be living with it. You did a great job.
Love your video brother. Just from my electrician eyes, by code there should be a receptacle somewhere on that outside corner of your new wall. Other than that - looks great!
Solid wood trim is definitely a good route👊. So far, I've only ever had edge banding peel off if the corners aren't slightly rounded with fine grit sandpaper (making a lip for baskets or clothes to catch on) or the bond was somehow compromised from the beginning. Thanks for watching and definitely a good alternative!
If I could find someone to complete the dry wall for me I would be so happy. I just cant do it. It is like fingernails on a chalk board. Im old now but when younger and working in construction, I would avoid dry wall like the plaque, which did not serve me well. Great vid, I came to see if I was right in thinking I do not need to do anything really special since what I am building is not load bearing. Thanks.
I love it!! It would be amazing if you would provide more info on how much it cost to make it and others things, but I really like it. Thumbs up and subscribed.
7:35 that is because your camera is not levelled. Your focus is wrong. You should be adjusting your camera based on the vertical line of the middle hook inside the closet.
Brownwood?! Like Brownwood, TX? If so, I've been there and Home Depot is the only exciting store in town. LOL I almost moved there for work but decided I didn't want to die of boredom. LOL Great video Mike.
Sure thing! For the door we used it listed the necessary dimensions for the opening which made it easy. If you're by chance using a door you already have and don't have the mfg. recommendations for the door opening I would first measure the door (obvious I know lol). For a bi-fold door like I used in this video add the thickness of the casing (for left and right side) you'll use to trim the opening + 1/4" for a bit of wiggle room. You can trim these doors a touch after the fact if needed. Hope that helps!
Thanks! Yeah the handle placement isn't in the best place for the easiest operation of the door technically, but I've gotten used to it and the door opens without issue.
An amazing job, especially the doors look so gorgeous, but such a closet is not cheaper than going to IKEA to buy a finished product, and you have to spend like 5 days to build it, especially difficult when you don't have so many tools. And not to mention that it's not really finished yet, to install the inside of a closet takes you like another day to install all the drawers and that might cost another thousand dollars. And when you fasten things to the floor, it’s better to drill through your hardwood floor first, and only fasten with the subfloor underneath. hardwood floor needs some room to stretch.
Do your research - that would be $1500 to do an ikea closet. This was probably $300 of wood and drywall plus doors. Then with ikea to blend it into the room you’d still have to buy trim and wood etc.and he did drill the floor first.
Nice video! I want to build 8x8 partition wall to divide my bedroom. Why didn’t u use Kiln-dried lumber to frame studs? Also, can I not attach the bottom plate to floor since I will screw top plate into ceiling joist and side stud to wall stud? Thanks!
Thank you! That sounds like an awesome projects! I did use KD lumber, curious why you're thinking I didn't. That's what I did and I haven't had any issues. I made sure to screw into the subfloor and not into my hardwoods though.
I don't actually. This this a central electric led strip light. The switch is a motion activated switch by leviton. They should be linked in the description. 👍🏻
That's a great question Kali! I based the dimensions for the rough opening on the specs from the door mfg. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help!
Yes, the material inside the door frame is just part of the casing. For the size opening I had I believe I had to buy all the pieces individually as the door trim kits weren't big enough. Hope that helps!
Honestly I don't remember what I framed it to. I followed the rough opening dimensions that the mfg. listed and made sure the opening would be sufficient after trim was added.
Thanks Gretchen! Glad the video was helpful 😃 I may not be next door just m but your can drop any questions you have along the way right here and I'll do my best to help ya out! Good luck and happy building 😃😃
I would be caught trying to just screw it to the ceiling joists but if it wasn't seating well I'd scrap/and the popcorn texture where the top cord needed to go.
Hi Yin! If you find a door you like you can then look up the specs for required opening dimensions. On Home Depot's site this information is fairly easy to find.
@@WoodshopMike yeah I know the opening dimensions from the door. However from the frame to the finished opening , I see some Guidelines of leaving extra 2inches all sides for the frame opening to accommodate the drywall or trim?
That is very nice work Mr. Mike. Nice to see you, and Ms. Cathleen (sorry if I spelled her name wrong). Thanks for sharing, God bless, and Merry Christmas
Curious about the decision to have the doors not go the entire length. Now that is is installed, would you prefer the doors to be wider or have different doors?
We really like the door. We'd originally thought about a barn door, but given where the closet is in the room we opted for bifold doors so we could have a larger opening. Also, I kinda like have a bit of the closet not open. This gives more corners to prop stuff in. Just my 2 cents though👍😃
Thank you very much! I don't believe I do, but I cope baseboards with a narrow fine tooth blade in a jigsaw held upside down for the inside corners. (I'm sure that's only marginally helpful 😂). Glad you enjoyed the video!
Okay newbie question here but, do I need to know what size and kind of closet doors I'm getting first? How will I know how wide the doorway needs to be?
No worries! Yes, you'll want to know what door size you want before framing in the closet. The rough opening for the door will be provided with the door specs 👍👍
Thanks for the video!! Was wondering what anchor/screws you used for hanging your top plate on the ceiling that didn't have a stud there. Thanks, in advance!
Great work Woodshop Mike 👍🤓 When thinking of the entire build before hand did you take into consideration the bi-fold door widths for your opening? I understand the build is pretty straightfwd if a person is quite handy. But dims sometimes stump me from beginning. Thks,
Thank you! We actually wanted barn doors originally, but the space just wasn't conducive to that. I made sure I had all of the dimensions for the bifold doors before framing the opening. That information is available from where the door is ordered👍👍
That's a difficult question to answer. It could be as easy as just cutting away the drywall and framing in the ceiling of the closet, but there could be utilities like HVAC ducting that had to be framed around. Best bet is to have a contractor come out and take a look at what you're wanting to do if you're unsure.
What size trim did you put on the sides of the closet. I used .5” drywall framed with 2x4. If I want to do it like you, I would need to use a trim that is 4.5” inches wide and I can’t find any. Did you cut yours to that size?
Thanks for the straight up home depot ad lol
I pray God blesses me with a husband just like you! This is so amazing, thanks for this awesome example.

For shelving I would use solid lumber. The fake edge strip on plywood may peel off over time as clothes are dragged over the surface.

What would you do if the floor is tile. ? Can I tap con or will I crack and break the tile
I'd cut out the tile where necessary and anchor directly to the subfloor/trusses.
Looks like Woodshop Mike is taking us to the bedroom
Nice clean work overall. The door handle placement must be really annoying to open folding doors over time though. 8:45
Thanks! Yeah the handle placement isn't in the best place for the easiest operation of the door technically, but I've gotten used to it and the door opens without issue.
What type of drywall anchors did u use to attach the studs that didn't line up to studs or ceiling joist?
All (almost all...) of the materials and tools are listed in the description 👍 These are the ones I used. homedepot.sjv.io/N1Ddq

Nice lookin closet!
Thank you so much guys! 😃😃
How did you figure out measurements for frame opening ? For doors that you put on

so you don't need to cut out the old floors to attach to the subfloor?
You certainly can, not it's not absolutely necessary.
Thank you so much
Absolutely!

Hi, how would you extend the height of an existing closet all the way to the ceiling?
That's a difficult question to answer. It could be as easy as just cutting away the drywall and framing in the ceiling of the closet, but there could be utilities like HVAC ducting that had to be framed around. Best bet is to have a contractor come out and take a look at what you're wanting to do if you're unsure.

Thank you so much! 😃
Your very welcome Mike! Have a fantastic weekend!😎
Back at ya buddy 👍🏻
This is exactly what I want.. so how much did you spend on drywall and wood framing? I can not get a simple figure from no one..help
When we did the project we spent roughly $750. Now that'd probably be closer to $1000 though.
cool, i dont like the fact there is a big gap between the door when closed, andd the frame, i can see a big black gap, like the door should be larger
What size trim did you put on the sides of the closet. I used .5” drywall framed with 2x4. If I want to do it like you, I would need to use a trim that is 4.5” inches wide and I can’t find any. Did you cut yours to that size?
I bought mine at Home Depot in the millwork department. What I got was door casing. It's close to the door trim kits.
