- 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 ruclips.net/user/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.
That "header" didnt even have cripples under it .. it was nailed into the 2x4 beside it only .. transfering weight through nails lol
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.
@@TPen I was wondering if anyone else would catch that.
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.
Wife: "You are fast"
Alex: But not too fast
Had me rolling!
Ok boomer
Leaf blower in the truck to clean it out at the dump... Brilliant!
Yes, love the vlog idea! Also, please show more footage of the finished product, it's always just a quick glimpse. Thanks!
Yes, open up the other space for a cubby for the kids or pets...add a light and everything!! love!
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.
Congratulations to you and your wife, with your little one!!!
You should create that extra space into a hidden door for a safe. Keep up on the vlogs!
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 your channel just found it and kinda addicted to your vids
Your house is stunning inside, you and your wife have great taste!
Congrats on the baby!
I like both styles. But Im not complaining with the vlog entries, because we get content way sooner!!! 🥳
2:45 when the beat kicks in and you think youtube has jumped to a demolition ranch abandoned mansion video!
Good taste in music Alex!
Yes I like these video. Please continue!
Use that extra little space as a reading nook for your new baby coming in the future!!! That's what we are going to do!
Yeah keep doing what you’re doing brother. The wife and I enjoy watching all of your video’s.👍👍
A small door in that under staircase area to store things or a doggy house is perfect :-)
The vlogs are a great idea, keep ‘em coming!
If it is indeed a low bearing wall, be sure that you added cripples from the top of your header to the bottom of the top wall plate with a tight fit at least 16 inches on center and extend the jack studs on top of the header to create a solid post support from the bottom plate to the top plate. Without the cripples, that rigid header is useless. But then again, maybe I missed that. Love the videos and that can do attitude! Keep up the good work!
If it is a load bearing wall it wasn't bearing much with no cripple under that header
Yeah I like the idea of you making little vlog style vids 👍🏻👍🏻
This is great. You have my vote for this format.
When building a beam throw a couple of pieces of OSB between them with some glue and that gives you your three and a half so your drywall doesn't have a bow in it
This is what I came to say as well. That beam he made is not great.
Yup, especially a 1/2 thick piece of osb so your overall thickness is now 3.5 inches on the beam
What is OSB?
@@jocelyncollins8359 it called oriented strand board and it looks like plywood but it's cheaply made with flakes of wood glued together commonly used as sheathing on a house
Dale Jacaway Thanks! 🙂
It doesn't look like that door header is being supported by anything so its probably not load bearing....
No jack studs supporting it before so yeah probably not load bearing, your rightt
I agree, but always CYA 😉
I have no structural experience but even I could tell it's not load bearing
There in previous frames of the video. He pulled them by the time he got to the “load” bearing part. You can see the nails sticking up
And I agree with Evan, it’s not load bearing. It was just a header over the door
i have no interest in building , i cant build , i own not a single tool , i have a rental place , and yet im watching this.
this guy is pure entertainment.
😂
Wife : what are you doing
Alex : it fell I swear
Wife: and the tools just popped up
Alex : yes I believe so
😂😂😂😂😂😂👀
Having 60fps videos on yt is so satisfying
CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY MAN
Congratulations on the baby homie!
Absolutely do more! About two weeks ago I was talking to my husband about this exact project with our nearly structurally identical stairs / awkward closet, so this video was very a helpful preview :P
Congratulations on the kid have one come too keep the vids coming relying on them !!!
Every time I hear "load-bearing wall" I have a mild panic attack. I just imagine knocking out that beam and everything comes falling down.
Same, lol. I'm like... how do you know how long it can stand without being supported?! lol
I've seen it happen. We got out just in time to watch the roof buckle. My wife, was, well, not happy with me.
The property bros put the fear in me with load bearing walls lol
The Brown RAT oh thanks for the advice, I’ll take out every supporting beam on my 2nd floor because I need to redecorate. Hopefully my house won’t sag too fast before I can put up new support beams!
Dat wasn't really a load bearing wall
I like the vlog, it fills in the wait time.
But looking at the rug covered in dust and drywall gave me anxiety!
Yess! I love the vlogs. Can’t wait for the next one
Yes more construction vlog!! Helps the learning process. Would you consider doing a home tour and sharing your before and afters of what you’ve done ?
Yes. Totally. When we’re done
instaBlaster...
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY!!!
10 or so minutes/video is nice!
Congrats on the new edition in the family. I've got a space like that across my butler's pantry. I'll keep following this story to see what you did with it
I honestly cannot get enough of his videos
Love this format. Getting to see more of the in between work is awesome.
I was thinking bout turning that little spot into a doggy/cat room🤣🤣
under stair shoe storage the pullout drawer shelf at the bottom hooks at the top for school bags, back up baby stuff for a diaper bag
You should use the smaller space underneath the stairs as a wine rack when you can use the depth of the small area
If that was a support beam it would need jack studs. It looked like it was just fastened to the side of a king stud. Not load bearing in that case.
I was looking for this comment. Glad you noticed it as well!
An earlier comment address this exact observation reference 4:09 in the video.... You'll notice the Jack studs
I love the idea please do the mini blogs
Great energy man, keeping trucking along, love the positive vibes and creative ideas
Hpw about a little camp or hide away for the kids in that extra space with a little door like a hobbit ....that would be so cute
Aww, now I want to see you make a cute cradle or a playspace or some kind of outdoor play thing. lol step stool for going potty or brushing teeth?
Yes! These vlog style videos give a chance for a lot of context to the reasoning behind the decision, and that's where I'm going to be at pre-projects. So, it helps with the mindset. Not to mention, congratulations, Papa Build It!
Love the vlog style, it shows the process which is my favourite part!! Keep it up!
Liking the vlog between videos
*Great video. You are very informative and make everything easy to understand to someone like me that has never done any DIY! Well, I’ve helped my dad. But nothing on my own. Looking forward to seeing the outcome. Please keep these vlogs coming!!*
Love this type of video
The way Alex say he will be a das for the 3th Times os amazing 😂😂
Great video, can't wait to see the complete project.
Been wanting to do this to ours for ages as the understairs is the dogs room, want him to have a bigger room 😄
I like this style video. We can watch the progression as it happens.
I’m a fan. Can’t wait to see the final results.
A great idea for that closed off storage area underneath the stairs would be great for a built in wine fridge.
Love the vlogs!! You make everything look so easy. It makes me think I can start tackling projects. Courage and sweat my guy!
Appreciate the vlog! Can’t wait for the final result.
Yes, continue. I want to do storage under my stairs in the basement, thinking about wine storage
Great idea for progress vlog!!
I’m not a structural engineer, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express once. I got this.
Pull out drawers for shoes etc in the lower part of the staircase... perfect
love the vlog entrys
Yes please, more videos
Give that other little area a door and use it to store your oncoming babies toys. Trust me you will need it.
I have a problem!
I like daddies like this guy 😪😭
I've been waiting so long for this vid.
Love your stuff, can't wait for the finished look!
I really enjoyed this style of video. It felt more personal, like you were talking to me and not at me.
Only found your channel a few months ago but your projects are awesome keep them coming! You should do a before/after of all the projects you completed so far and do a house tour
Congrats on the new addition!
I like this vlog style showing the process!
Yes I’m down for in between videos. That’s what I was trying to do with my channel but man it’s a lot of work. So I hope you can keep up, I like your content a lot 😊
Definitely love your videos and you are absolutely the man please keep it up love the idea of small videos more often. !
Great work, I’m looking forward to seeing the next update 👍🏽
Wow just wow@!!!!
Great start and keep it going!
I can’t wait to see the next video
You could make the stairs drawers to utilise the space behind them. Also, update vlogs are a great idea, looking forward to them.
Congrats on the new baby!
Love your videos by the way,
The way you interact with the camera is awesome! Keep it up 👍👍👍👍
Vids like these are great! Gets us more content to watch and gives you me content to upload!
Love it, mate 👍🏽
I think breaking a big build down to multiple 10 minute vids is the way to go. 👌🏽
Looking forward to the second installment!
Thanks brother
Yes I like that idea. Keep them coming.!!!!
Keep these coming! Really enjoyed it 🙌
Put your bug out pack in there lol
I like this style of video. Great job in total.
Great video! So my thought is for that angled wall space you’re worried about loss of space... build in some built in pullout drawers! The drawer face can be flush to the wall and then you have a place for shoes, potatoes and other food items that like dark spaces or hide your computer tech etc. or like you said a doggy house, I will say though crying puppies in between your living room and kitchen might not be so appealing lmao! At least my two would manipulate me into letting them out as soon as they hear my foot steps 🤦🏻♀️ lol! Regardless if you leave it as it is I’m very excited, most ppl would leave it as is or never attempt to build a workable space for fear they’d ruin some thing!
that "wasted space" under the stairs that you blocked off , you could put a built in shelf in there from the wall directly below the stairs & use it to store shoes on seeing as its fairly close to the front door. it won't take up the entire space , but it gives you some additional storage and usage out of the now blocked off space.
You’re the man, inspired me to make plans and at least try!
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.
I like this type of video, keeps you coming back for more. Keep up the good work!
Noice. Can't wait to see it wrap up!
Dude you’re awesome your home is coming out flawless! I need to lose
My fear and start knocking down walls in my home too !
I love the vlogs. Now am hungry to see the outcome
Didnt know that. CONGRATS!!!🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉
