After insulation, you shouldn't have nearly as bad of heat issues. Vents for HVAC still would be recommended. I'm just wondering who has an attic that is accessible via doors like that.
@@skiddz17 converted attics that aren't connected to the central ac or in general no vents at all are gonna have some bad problems with heating and cooling in general. the room next to mine used to be attic until we decided to convert it into a media room years ago we made sure to cover it in insulation and even install a small vent but even so it has problems which resulted in a need for its own air conditioning and tons of air movement
I built a room similar to this above my garage. ( it is disconnected from the upstairs) In my case running ductwork from the existing upstairs heating/cooling unit was not feasible due to the system not being large enough to support the extra space. Luckily, I found an absolute bargain on used portable cooling unit and merged its exhaust onto an existing exhaust line on the other side of the wall ( the pre existing upstairs system) No doubt he probably should have kept the window and used a retractable or a portable projection screen. However, he still has the kitchen area to finish so maybe he could place a portable unit there.
LoL. Well said it's almost like people forget that attics are meant to act as buffer zone from heat outside and to let heat rising from the lower portions of the house to vent out. Not really meant for storage let alone a room conversion.
I wouldn't mind a slate grey color.. but when the lights are off, the projector looks great and there's not too much ambient light (for my taste). The screen wall isn't too reflective and that helps a lot
its a good point, but, he did specifically address it in the video, and explained he understood the benefit of dark, but the white was just a matter of personal taste ;)
I believe regulations state you only have to have suitable exit to escape from in case of fire if the area is used as a bedroom and sleeping in. At least in the UK
Kenny Cassidy For starters, there’s no insulation so there’s nothing to keep heat or cool air from leaving the room. Also, the temperature difference between the indoors and outdoors could create condensation on the inside or outside of the drywall, and moisture can lead to mold.. and you see the issue with that.
Lefthook demolition I would’ve put in a bigger window. Little secret from me: I don’t use any nails or screws for any of my door or windows, I use liquid styrofoam and it works like magic plus it makes it easier for me atleast to make the door 100% level. And if you mess up, you can just use a sawzaw and cut the styrofoam and try again. Cheers
Tip: for moving flimsy rolls of carpet, run a 2x4 down the inside of the roll. If needed, use a 2x4 longer than the roll of carpet and knock a 16 penny nail into one end of the board. Now you can drag it up a flight of stairs by yourself and the carpet won't slide off the board.

@@josephweller7016 Condensation with no air movement will happen there as temps and air moisture changes. Think of how you pull a cold bottle of water out of the fridge and it gets all that condensation around it especially on a warm day. Similar thing happens here throughout the year. This can damage the drywall covering it and also create mold very easily. without any kind of insulation or moisture barrier between that window and the drywall, you're asking for a pocket of trouble right there.
That wasn't even an "attic" it was just an unfinished room left over from bad planning when the house was built, and now it's an unventilated echo chamber with a projector
I don't know where you live, but if it's cold in winter (I guess it is) then you very likely may face problems with water condensing on cold glass behind drywall patch and different lifeforms being born between your window and drywall. Toxic mold to be exact. The window should be ventilated or at least that wall should be painted with paint and/or primer which have very low or zero vapor permeability (thick layer of cheap polymer primer should have pretty low vapor permeability). Otherwise vapor from the air will be able to travel through drywall and condense on the window. I recommend you to check the window from outside from time to time.
A tip. I work at a flooring company as an installer. You can call the stapler a slap or hammer stapler. And the pad you installed upside down. And you only need to staple the perimeter of the pad. A kicker isn’t designed to stretch carpet solely you need a stretcher for that. Then you finish with a kicker. And you could get a a metal stair nose to finish off the edges of the steps way better.
I know literally nothing about construction or renovations but couldn't installing something like an exhaust fan, that can be used in bathrooms, work? Or installing another type of ventilating contraption?
And pretty ghetto. If you're finishing the room from scratch, you might as well just install a power outlet in the ceiling and ceiling mount a traditional projector out of the way. You can put a Nvidia Shield on top of it, out of sight, and you now have a smart projector with no other cables needed.
You automatically get a texture if you just seal and dont sand afterwards, but yeah it's a bit curious why there's no moisture barrier, as well as no kind of cooling
you don't put a vapor barrier over kraft faced insulation. The kraft facing is a vapor retarder and putting an additional poly vapor barrier on top of it will trap moisture between the two and cause potential issues. And my guess is they "textured" the walls so they wouldn't need to sand.
@@Wmoore1 good morning will m I'm curious as to whether you just singled me out for your "no positivity" comment or if you have added that the MANY negative comments here. I'm sure that the creator of this video has many innovative ideas for projects, but this this attic was improperly insulated from the start and this was not corrected. Hopefully anyone else who wants to finish an attic will look at videos from skilled tradespeople to find out how to do it.
Were building a house, and my man cave is the exact same measurements as this. This gives me a great vision of how i plan to design my media room. Excellent video!😊
I hope your dad enjoys mold with his popcorn. An attic acts as the house's vent, a plenum if you will. By sealing off the walls with fiberglass insulation you're basically creating a petri dish along the roof's sheathing.
Now the problem is keyboard not unlike myself will find this on youtube and think this is how to do it. You need HVAC, you need to screw drywall so it doesnt pop years down the road, and never cover a window ffs. Then real contractors like my friends are going to have to put up with people like this trying to nickel and dime, "well I saw it on youtube!". I'm not sure what to think of where this world is heading. You have people that post videos making more than doctors there is a problem with society.
I don't care who didn't like this video. I think u did a great job for doing certain things for the 1st time. It looks awesome & this is something that I would definitely try
My husband do the same thing with window. I just why you do that his answer was I want to install a ventilation I say ok (For me was crazy 🤣)But he made
When has the purpose of a window EVER been for viewing INTO your home??? Lol bruh what? I bet you hate when people have curtains and blinds too, ole peeping Tom looking boy 😂🤷🏻♂️
if you use good quality ring-shank nails and use enough of em you wont have any issue. i know a few old dry wallers that prefer nails over screws and their work lasts decades with ease
Hobo Bobo actually not really. Because it’s not connected to HVAC it can’t be counted as “living space” or count towards square footage. It’s also probably not up to code because he covered the window, which is unsafe because it blocks both an escape and ventilation when the attic inevitably heats up beyond human tolerance
Defiantly would not have allowed dry wall to be nailed. We stopped that method about 10 years ago as nails can pop. Drywall screws is now the recognised method
As someone who has done drywall professionally, the guys he used made me cringe with how they hung the board....not offsetting the upper and lower corner intersections drove me crazy. *shakes head*
Devon Proffitt definitely were back of home depot guys 😂 who tf still hammers in drywall?!? And the way they did corner bead was awful too. Maybe they were just tapers that said they can hang too idk
@@henrycavillsrealmustache3553 Right? I get nailing the board to temporarily hold it in place before screwing it in. That's how I do it. But this was...wow. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who caught what they did with the corner bead. XD
When you showed us how big 150" is it looked like you were starting a lawn mower. I thought to myself: that is a really portable projector. Anyway, great video.
Anything other than that soundbar... I guess the idea is to keep it looking clean, but soundbars are too "form over function". Also the window getting drywalled over made me laugh a little lol, he could've just came up with a solution to cover it up when the theater is in use, and then have a nice quality projector screen to pull down over it.
@@2string861 I completely agree. It would have been much better in my thoughts to have a window there that is usable and functional and cover it with a screen and do something fun like a projector screen over the top of a box that would allow you to seal off the window while in theater mode. It also would have been nice to have some quality speakers in there rather than some crappy sound bar that sounds decent at best. Some kind of bass traps in the corners and walls would have been nice and some kind of sound reflection reducers in the back whether that be a wooden Skyline style like they have in a studio or just auralex foam that you can find at any Studio shop.
Im impressed..How i love to have a theater in the convinient of our own home.. I hope someday i will have all my dreams come true. More power to ur channel.. I admire dude like u..hardworking, creative, artistic, resourceful...awesome job..👍👍👍
I am a home theater junky. It would be so easy to criticize so many things as a snob. (Gear, acoustics, color (light reflection (great answer in vid!!), screen etc)... BUT.... Even with almost 15k of just sound gear in mine (or more..) What makes a difference more than a 5k processor vs a 500 receiver... It's the room presentation. It is so so hard for 99% of people to tell the difference between a $500 sound system and something like I run with thousand just in subs. Yes of course there is a massive difference, but I rarely get to really run my theater at reference levels and socially, cant run it full out and interact with friends (just to much). I have quickly learned that home theater is a really more about the "space" than the gear. The space is what people notice and remember. Loved the detail in the vid. Great result in the end. I would look at doing some acoustic DIY panels in the future with some decent fabric wraps (for color, and maybe with LED strip light back lighting) and diffusers to deal with some of the odd reflective surfaces. Be a cool series. Keep the content coming!!! Loved the floor!! And I think you have me thinking about doing my own carpet replacement....
oh my goodness 👍🏻😀 that’s very beautiful and perfect home theater. This is the attic that very spacious and clean, very modern style attic. No more scary/creepy attics. But there’s one thing that I think would be nice to put window to have natural light that will coming in during the day. I would prefer. Well it’s just my opinion. 🤷🏻♀️
I would recommend you to install acoustic foam to reduce the echo. If you notice in theatere they arr installed textured ceiling and textured back wall to reduce echo and enhance the sound experience. For your case i would install directly a few on the side wall, and few on the back wall behind the couches, and most on the ceiling. You can purchase them on ebay. It might cost you around $150 dollar for this size room but it will be worth it.
I was expecting the projector to be like $800 but it's surprisingly only $2700
You gotta have that money I guess
@Styx62 Ga amen

@@josephweller7016 Glass = poor thermal insulation = temperature disparity on the window = condensation buildup behind wall = mold.
I have to say my fav part was when your dad saw your work. You can tell he is very proud. ☺️
I wish for all Father's Day was like that. Great Father with great a son. All good wishes to your family dude.
That wasn't even an "attic" it was just an unfinished room left over from bad planning when the house was built, and now it's an unventilated echo chamber with a projector
TheEmerald yeah good call on the echos
Haahhahah you win the comments for sure.. classic...
with all that carpet and the inevitable soft furniture that will end up in that room, echoes shouldn’t be an issue
A really expensive projector though
Attic (noun): "A space or room just below the roof of a building." So yeah, it is an attic.
I don't know where you live, but if it's cold in winter (I guess it is) then you very likely may face problems with water condensing on cold glass behind drywall patch and different lifeforms being born between your window and drywall. Toxic mold to be exact. The window should be ventilated or at least that wall should be painted with paint and/or primer which have very low or zero vapor permeability (thick layer of cheap polymer primer should have pretty low vapor permeability). Otherwise vapor from the air will be able to travel through drywall and condense on the window. I recommend you to check the window from outside from time to time.
I don't see anyway that was a thought out idea, what was he thinking? Is there any place accounting for ventilation?
@@annkus3 really? Lol
A tip. I work at a flooring company as an installer. You can call the stapler a slap or hammer stapler. And the pad you installed upside down. And you only need to staple the perimeter of the pad. A kicker isn’t designed to stretch carpet solely you need a stretcher for that. Then you finish with a kicker. And you could get a a metal stair nose to finish off the edges of the steps way better.
Title: "DIY"
Has other people do it for him
lol right!
PFIY, pay for it yourself
Gersian Collaku as he should... the one part he did himself was literally the dumbest decision of all. His drywall is going to mold
This should be the #1 ranked comment
Feel like i'd suffocate inside, there's no air vent, especially he drywalled the only window.
What did you do for HVAC .. Heating cooling.. That's a attic with no ventilation
stuffy
Opening the window! Oh... wait. Nvm!
@@easyfrag7424 so good lol
Well I guess he can just buy a fan and a heater
I know literally nothing about construction or renovations but couldn't installing something like an exhaust fan, that can be used in bathrooms, work? Or installing another type of ventilating contraption?
Great job 👍 Love how you took an unused space and made it functional
17:28 Hes got his hand right next to the table saw and he takes his eyes off his hands
He trying to turn it off
Built in cord reel.
Well not as cool if you consider that vacuums from 2000's had one of those bad boys
And pretty ghetto. If you're finishing the room from scratch, you might as well just install a power outlet in the ceiling and ceiling mount a traditional projector out of the way. You can put a Nvidia Shield on top of it, out of sight, and you now have a smart projector with no other cables needed.
No moisture barrier? And why did the drywallers put a texture on the projector wall?
You automatically get a texture if you just seal and dont sand afterwards, but yeah it's a bit curious why there's no moisture barrier, as well as no kind of cooling
you don't put a vapor barrier over kraft faced insulation. The kraft facing is a vapor retarder and putting an additional poly vapor barrier on top of it will trap moisture between the two and cause potential issues. And my guess is they "textured" the walls so they wouldn't need to sand.
Did you maybe want to throw a bit of positivity in there or that's just not your style?
@@Wmoore1 good morning will m I'm curious as to whether you just singled me out for your "no positivity" comment or if you have added that the MANY negative comments here. I'm sure that the creator of this video has many innovative ideas for projects, but this this attic was improperly insulated from the start and this was not corrected. Hopefully anyone else who wants to finish an attic will look at videos from skilled tradespeople to find out how to do it.
will m is negatively trolling the comments.
Were building a house, and my man cave is the exact same measurements as this. This gives me a great vision of how i plan to design my media room. Excellent video!😊
Great job! Your father's words spoke for your work! God bless
when you set the projector outside and started pulling the cord out I thought that you were pull starting it for a second. ha ha
lol The Dad's like "Wow, Thanks Son!" then gets up to go watch youtube in his office...
One way to add just a little bit more luxury to this room would be to sound proof it. Doesn’t seem extremely necessary but would be a good addition.
I hope your dad enjoys mold with his popcorn. An attic acts as the house's vent, a plenum if you will. By sealing off the walls with fiberglass insulation you're basically creating a petri dish along the roof's sheathing.
Nothing like watching a movie in a home theater with completely white walls. Really adds to the whole "theater" experience.
Spencer it’s because he likes the color and looks great for pictures... 😂😂😂
This video literally made me throw up in my mouth. Open studs…and didn’t even wire for real surround.
If you are being srarestic I would have painted the walls black
I hope no one uses this as a build guide, so many bad techniques. Nails in drywall? Just cover the window? No HVAC? Holy crap.
these corporations really need to do some screening of their youtube shills
@@BoopSnootwhat corporations?
@@matth7129 LG paid for the video to be produced, along with the company he shilled for in the video.
I've done carpeting for a little over a year and I was horrified.
Now the problem is keyboard not unlike myself will find this on youtube and think this is how to do it. You need HVAC, you need to screw drywall so it doesnt pop years down the road, and never cover a window ffs. Then real contractors like my friends are going to have to put up with people like this trying to nickel and dime, "well I saw it on youtube!". I'm not sure what to think of where this world is heading. You have people that post videos making more than doctors there is a problem with society.
I don't care who didn't like this video. I think u did a great job for doing certain things for the 1st time. It looks awesome & this is something that I would definitely try
That DOOR and the hexagonal floor pattern 😍
So on the outside, that window just looks into the back of drywall?? I don't know about that man...
hahaha
Would that not cause moisture from the window? I don’t know a ton but that felt like a badddddddd idea lol.
in a short time... you won't see the back of the drywall. you'll only see all the mold that has grown in that moisture trap they created
My husband do the same thing with window. I just why you do that his answer was I want to install a ventilation I say ok (For me was crazy 🤣)But he made
When has the purpose of a window EVER been for viewing INTO your home??? Lol bruh what? I bet you hate when people have curtains and blinds too, ole peeping Tom looking boy 😂🤷🏻♂️
NAIL and DRYWALL? Planning on Nail pops in a year or two ... then bring those guys back to reinstall them with SCREWS instead.
Yeah that part blew my mind.
if you use good quality ring-shank nails and use enough of em you wont have any issue. i know a few old dry wallers that prefer nails over screws and their work lasts decades with ease
yeah never saw that before
Exactly, I help my dad put dry wall sometimes and we always use screws, so seeing them put nails on caught me off guard
I'm happy your parents were happy. Nice gift.
A BUILT-IN CORD REEL?!?!?! AMAZING!!!!
Dad: we're gonna move to another house
Him: ...
I mean it adds property value so ....
Hobo Bobo actually not really. Because it’s not connected to HVAC it can’t be counted as “living space” or count towards square footage. It’s also probably not up to code because he covered the window, which is unsafe because it blocks both an escape and ventilation when the attic inevitably heats up beyond human tolerance
@@cl22396 it does add property value tho
Its a nice touch and really he didnt spend so much on it (minus projector lol) He probably did gain some value for his folks.
Defiantly would not have allowed dry wall to be nailed. We stopped that method about 10 years ago as nails can pop. Drywall screws is now the recognised method
Who gives a shit
Awesome project! Can only imagine the blood and sweat that have gone in to this. Thanks for sharing!
This man got the perfect attic
"after looking at Pinterest"
LOL
as a very novice woodworker would enjoy seeing a quick video on how you constructed the floating console. This was a very impressive project overall!
As someone who has done drywall professionally, the guys he used made me cringe with how they hung the board....not offsetting the upper and lower corner intersections drove me crazy. *shakes head*
Yeah he probably picked the cheapest guys possible.
Devon Proffitt definitely were back of home depot guys 😂 who tf still hammers in drywall?!? And the way they did corner bead was awful too. Maybe they were just tapers that said they can hang too idk
@@henrycavillsrealmustache3553 Right? I get nailing the board to temporarily hold it in place before screwing it in. That's how I do it. But this was...wow. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who caught what they did with the corner bead. XD
Every contractor complains about other contractors work.
@@linkfan1234567891 the most accurate thing ive ever seen in a youtube comment.
I like that you watch videos with you're parents!!
Carpet for unventilated room makes for plenty asthma attacks.
TruFantom21 they’ll die from heat stroke first
@@cl22396 you're not wrong.
Mike this turned out killer, what a huge project but SO worth the effort. Hopefully you and your dad watch something awesome on it for Father's Day.
He loved it!!! Thanks a ton :)
Do you know what movie that is with the man on the boat at the end?
Dude!! That was awesome! Really wish I could do something like that for my parents. You are the best son!
"Let's check it out"
*proceeds to blind me with projector light*
When you showed us how big 150" is it looked like you were starting a lawn mower. I thought to myself: that is a really portable projector. Anyway, great video.
Oh no, they stacked the drywall panels 🤦🏽♂️
Nice father son moment!
So sweet, how much your dad liked it !
Very cool... but that's where my question is... how do you cool/heat the space? I did not see any vents of any kind.
Fan in the summer space heater in the winter?
He kinda forgot about that
I clicked expecting to see how they address that, but I guess this video is useless to me now.
Should have installed in wall and in ceiling speakers before the drywall went up. This could have been a much better home theater room.
Anything other than that soundbar... I guess the idea is to keep it looking clean, but soundbars are too "form over function".
Also the window getting drywalled over made me laugh a little lol, he could've just came up with a solution to cover it up when the theater is in use, and then have a nice quality projector screen to pull down over it.
@@2string861 I completely agree. It would have been much better in my thoughts to have a window there that is usable and functional and cover it with a screen and do something fun like a projector screen over the top of a box that would allow you to seal off the window while in theater mode. It also would have been nice to have some quality speakers in there rather than some crappy sound bar that sounds decent at best. Some kind of bass traps in the corners and walls would have been nice and some kind of sound reflection reducers in the back whether that be a wooden Skyline style like they have in a studio or just auralex foam that you can find at any Studio shop.
I know that it’s not the coolest part of the room but the doors looked really good.
Im impressed..How i love to have a theater in the convinient of our own home.. I hope someday i will have all my dreams come true. More power to ur channel.. I admire dude like u..hardworking, creative, artistic, resourceful...awesome job..👍👍👍
Holy cow, holy crap... first the son was amazed, than the father...
The best fathersday ever! Your dad is proud of you bro.
19:50 you should add something to secure the projector from being knocked over
The whole point of the projector is to be portable.
That hexagon floor is freakin awesome.
Wonderful broadcast! Your folks seem lovely ! God Bless you & your Family 🤜🏾🤛🏻
Happy Fathers Day to your Dad! 😊 Enjoy your man cave!
I am a home theater junky. It would be so easy to criticize so many things as a snob. (Gear, acoustics, color (light reflection (great answer in vid!!), screen etc)... BUT.... Even with almost 15k of just sound gear in mine (or more..) What makes a difference more than a 5k processor vs a 500 receiver... It's the room presentation.
It is so so hard for 99% of people to tell the difference between a $500 sound system and something like I run with thousand just in subs. Yes of course there is a massive difference, but I rarely get to really run my theater at reference levels and socially, cant run it full out and interact with friends (just to much).
I have quickly learned that home theater is a really more about the "space" than the gear. The space is what people notice and remember.
Loved the detail in the vid. Great result in the end. I would look at doing some acoustic DIY panels in the future with some decent fabric wraps (for color, and maybe with LED strip light back lighting) and diffusers to deal with some of the odd reflective surfaces. Be a cool series.
Keep the content coming!!! Loved the floor!! And I think you have me thinking about doing my own carpet replacement....
oh my goodness 👍🏻😀 that’s very beautiful and perfect home theater. This is the attic that very spacious and clean, very modern style attic. No more scary/creepy attics. But there’s one thing that I think would be nice to put window to have natural light that will coming in during the day. I would prefer. Well it’s just my opinion. 🤷🏻♀️
Love watching this type of videos even tho I’m never going to do any of this lol
I've never seen rollering plaster like that. Seems like a really nice idea over dry wall.
I would recommend you to install acoustic foam to reduce the echo. If you notice in theatere they arr installed textured ceiling and textured back wall to reduce echo and enhance the sound experience.
For your case i would install directly a few on the side wall, and few on the back wall behind the couches, and most on the ceiling. You can purchase them on ebay. It might cost you around $150 dollar for this size room but it will be worth it.
“Slap stapler” is actually called a HAMMER STAPLER. I’m a carpet and vinyl layer😄👌

It's commonly referred to as *"THINGY"*
You, my friend are an Artisian and a great son! Kudos to you!!!
"HOLY CRAP!!" priceless!!
Brooo your shoe game is strong! I WANT THEM ALL!!!!
dude you had my hyped up but that projector cost like 2 thousand dollars
lol nah
LG sent it to him so im sure he got it for free.
