Just came across this. I have a really nice finished basement and media center, but I love the idea of using the I beams to hold drywall pieces in to replace the need for a drop ceiling. I have a drop ceiling that I love, but if I had to do it over, I’d use your approach. Also love the LED lighting on the perimeter of the ceiling!
+Ryan Hirschey Wow. Such a nice compliment! Thank you so much! We really do love how this ceiling turned out. It’s so high so the room feels bigger and it looks amazing. If you ever change your ceiling out for this I know you’ll love it:)
Brave man with no shoes lay tack strips! My luck is one of the boys would have set one down behind me trying to help and boom, tack strip to bare foot! LOL
Hey! To be honest, I cannot remember and I'm not home to measure. We just built it custom the fit the space we have. I would recommend the same to anyone, Customize it to fit the space you sant or movie theater seating:)
This video needs close ups of the sticks and the tacks. I'm confused. I'm assuming the sticks will attach the carpet to the edges of the wall and that the tacks are like bulletin board tacks somehow but not visible on top, or are mini nails.
+Bertha Antoinetta Mason Hello there! Tack strips are long, sounder pieces of wood that have nails sticking up on them. You put them on the floor around all the edges where the carpet will be and then you stretch the carpet and push it down onto the little nails. I hope this helps! I’ll make sure we get some better close up footage next time:)
@@CollinsCountry Thank you for replying. So the tack strips glue to the floor, and the tack strips' nails hold the carpet in place. I suppose that the carpet is thick enough so that the nails never stick out. It looks like the carpet padding is put down on the tack strips, and the carpet is stapled to the carpet padding. For the center of the room, I suppose it's trusted that the carpet is heavy and tight enough so that nothing needs to hold it there.
+Bertha Antoinetta Mason exactly. The carpet is thick enough so they don’t poke through… Plus they are around the edge so people don’t normally walk on the edge anyway, and the baseboards/trim cover most of that area up. The carpet is heavy and stretched enough that you don’t have to put anything down in the middle. Gravity does the work/)
this is awesome. god bless all of you!
+One Well Armed Gladiator THANK YOU! :)
