The "flip flop knee pad" technique is brilliant 👏🏾🤣

The best part of this video.. besides his commentary AND the cool vibes music, was the fact he wore flip-flops for this entire renovation!! 👏😂 a-mazing 💪🏼🏆

Looks great. Those are not self supporting stairs. That's why the wall was there. I hope the stringer doesn't split. Just don't carry anything really heavy up the stairs. Cheers!

I think basic DIY, electrical safety, should be teach in high school, with the use of mechanical tools for carpentry… as well as basic computing ( excel, web creation/design), basic cooking, basic tax return, basic job interview/negotiation skills…), meditation/ self care, basic car maintenance, how to create a budget/avoid debts, basic investment skills, how to project yourself/take risks, how to navigate medical healthcare/insurance…

I’m surprised that whole closet didn’t have storage access under the stairs. This project was next level. Beginner project could’ve been knocking down the drywall inside the storage closet to claim the whole space under the stairs.

It’s amazing how this family prepared for a simple diy and discovered a few errors the previous construction crew made to their house 👀 ☕️ Also, I absolutely love seeing couples work on projects together to accomplish something. Goals! Great build and teamwork. 😊👍🏽

Balvenie peat week. Great choice! Oh... and the transforming if amazing!

Great Job!! And everything done while wearing sandals!... lol. I know someone that would've had on a Hard head, Steel toe boots, full tool pouch around the waist and safety glasses.... lol.

Looks so beautiful before and after! Accepting challenge is so easy but to make it full fill is another story! Joint effort is always a great idea in my opinion.

😱I'm not sure why this is called DIY! This is a professional build. 👏👏👏👏

Man making his wife so happy with this, melts my heart.

It’s YOUR house. It looks smashing! It’s lovely to see young couples working together like this ; )

I love it!!! I'm showing this to my friend that has stairs. She doesn't drink, but she could switch the cooler for desk space. The options are limitless...

This looks great! If I had to do a project like this, I'd make a tiny little room for a secretly magical British orphan to live in

Looks great. I would be interested in seeing how the staircase holds up over time. In my opinion that knee wall under the stairs is structural. I guess it depends on if youve got kids running up the stairs 100 times a day, which will loosen any staircase.

Nice job. You can tell you’re a real handy man because you do this in flip flops. 😂 that’s someone confident in their skills

Oh wow!! This is such a great idea, very very nice!! Your wife is blessed to have such a hands on and talented husband!! I'll have to hire someone to do this but thanks to you guys for the awesome idea!!

Doing it all in flip flops . You the man

I watched this video two years ago and watched it again just now. Great work.

Could you post your address so the next buyer of your house can go in and fix your electrical work before their new house burns down?

He is such a diligent worker. Very detailed and neat work.

Wow you and your wife did excellent work! Great job🤩!

Well done! It's beautiful. ❤️ My husband is a contractor, I enjoy watching the progress and the fruits of the labor. I help where and when I can. God bless 🙏

Lol, it came out beautiful. I made my husband sit down and watch it twice so he'd know what to do.😍🤣

Great job! You should totally create something for on the wall to showcase all your shot glasses - that would look really neat.

Superb, I love such DIYs, although I don’t do them myself other than assembling IKEA furniture😄, this sure was fun to watch. Enjoy your new space.

The amount of NEC violations in this video is inconceivable! Looks good though!

Brazilian style those flipflops…great video👍🏼 congrats 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great job. Good use of would be wasted space under the stairs. Like always your wife was correct.. Have a beautiful day.

The wires that you ran in the metal junction box needs to have cable clamp connectors on them. Otherwise as the wires move, the insulation on them will wear down and could potentially lead to a short and the bare wire being exposed. Also it would be advisable to use plywood or drywall to keep the existing insulation in place because it will probably fall out over time.

That's phenomenal work. Wish me luck convincing my wife to forgo the storage project and do this instead.

Home project in flip flops, can’t have it any other way. Turned out great!!

I'm with the wife on clean up as you go along 😂

Damn good job! I got lazy and just put in bookshelves under ours. A wine bar would have been much better... but because of covid-19 I'm working from home maybe a wine bar would have been a bad idea 🍺🍺

Construction and building must be your profession. There is no way a regular person (me) would be able to do a DIY project like that. That work is impeccable and looks like it was done during the homes construction.

Very nice detail And your can make a music mix tape foe me any day. I was jamming to the sounds of this video.... Lol

Wonder moving heavy furniture like beds and dressers would be safe on those stairs now with the edge supports gone

Great idea, and great work! You both make a wonderful team! God bless. 🙏🏽🤍🙌🏽

got to give this guy some credit in doing all the work in either his bare feet or slippers!!

Looks great, although the 70's called and they'd like their wallpaper back.

It looks so so so beautiful. You are so talented.

This turned out really nice! I would love to repurpose the space under our stairs!

Its always awesome when KZfaqrs film videos in the dark.

What a lovely room for a budding wizard

Bravo! Nice job I learned a ton!!!

Amazing how you are able to do everything so easily. Came out great. Of course the easiest use of under stairs space would be to increase the depth of the closet, Sheetrock, built in cabinet, or a safe, and add lighting, for more storage. What you created was challenging but beautiful.

Love how you do the makeover in your sandals.

Very nice job with help of wife too! That is married! I wished to had more deeper space, good decision for your wish! Congratulación, great works from you! ❤👍😃

I admire your great skills, however I cannot understand why you placed the lightswitch at the back nor can I agree with the fact that you did all that in flip flops, other than that great job!

Not bad. Only thing you shouldn't of done was bury an electrical junction point in the wall. Not sure why you didn't go straight to the fridge outlet. Jump out to the light switch, and up to the light?

Nicely done!

That was a GREAT use of wasted space!!!! LOOKS AMAZING

A good electrician never hides a junction box in the wall. You should always add a junction box as if you were adding a receptacle. Just use a blank cover. That way years down the road an electrician won't have a nightmare trying to find an electrical issue that could be hidden in the wall. You won't always own that house.

WoW! This gives your space a completely different look. Beautiful! Now I wonder what else has the potential hidden behind walls 🤔

Definitely brought up the value of your home with that Beautiful project ❤

Even little projects aren’t so little. Great job!

That's an excellent job, very impressive- - you just know what to do next - amazing attention to details.. How long did it take you to complete the project, singlehandedly?

I was thinking to myself that’s a bloody nice bar. Then I seen the Balvenie 14yr old malt and it became an excellent bar slainte Mhath 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good job, great functional use of space. Ignore the few negative people commenting and be proud of your work!

i think that came up amazing and good job on giving it a go!

Great job, thanks for posting the vid. I've always wanted to do something like this under my first floor staircase, unfortunately right below it, is yet another staircase!

wow man this is amazing! What a transformation for the hallway. How silly for the builders to waste that space... I thought the closet door would lead to a bunch of storage under there. :) Amazeballs!

Wow! It looks fabulous! You did a great job. 👍👍

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that projects with flip flops on.

I love it you did an amazing job.

Love it, well everything but that wall paper nice job guys

Nice work. It adds to the space.

Not a wine drinker myself, but that's a nice setup

that looks INCREDIBLE😱you're so talented😃

My man did the whole thing in sandals

OH YEAH THIS MOST DEFINITELY DESERVES A LIKE 👍🏻 WELL DONE!

Wow. So much respect and admiration for handy and skilled people!

13:28 I don't know what your local codes are, but it is highly dangerous to have a junction box in a wall like that.

Amazing! LOVE IT💯

Great job. Love the casual attire.

I'm watching this on 06.18.2023.. I loved it, thanks. OneLove ❣️

This is Lovely, Fine attention to detail. One minor thing I'd do differently. I would have put the light switch higher and toward the front(same wall). Recessed it, or just added a matching decorative plate.

Great inspirations; I have a question though about your stairs runner; did you install it on your own? I would love to see a video about with tips on stair runner installation if you have one of course. Thanks!

Beautiful! Enjoyed every minute. ❤️🇨🇦

Very talented carpenter.

One nitpick. Always wear closed toe shoes when doing any construction work. It's a safety thing.

Muchoooo trabajo, pero te quedo genial! Congrat!

Amazing work, I’m sure your wife will be super happy with 💐

Very stylish reno! Thank you for sharing all the details in the process :)

My space underneath my stairs is an extension of the closet. I need that storage. Otherwise I would love to use it for something else.

You wired the box wrong have to use grommets so the wire doesn't vibrate and cut through

Great!. We have to take advantage of every single space.

I like the Buffalo Trace behind the scotch 👍🏻

Install Plasterboard 1cm off the ground next time. If you mop or the fridge leaks the wallboard won't go mouldy

Wonder what the integrity of the stairs have been lost?

Awesome job man, try putting a mirror or a poster or painting on that wall on the left… you can get something cool also, maybe cnc cut some personal message related to your family and just glue it there… maybe over a small mirror… what you did is awesome!

Excellent! Step by step explanation.

Great video, handy work was spectacular and the team effort was great. Would have loved more commentary though. Also, wondering why you went with gray and not white/walnut to match the house - I’m still on the fence about the wall paper too - your wife will kill me lol. Great job guys!!

No L16's on your electrical boxes? That is unsafe as the wires can chafe on the metal edges... This project is a hazard without proper electrical work.

Tells a lot abt shoddy construction wrk (stairway)coverup, u did awesome kudos, perfection, shower curtain solution great idea, love a handy hubby. Beautiful job enjoy it😘 cheers🥂

Your project was absolutely beautiful. We bought a small wine fridge and contacted a cabinet maker and we told him we wanted a built in for the fridge and a small cabinet on the side and he told my husband to cut the opening for the fridge, he showed up looked at the opening and said he’ll be back next day but canceled so we made another appointment and he never came. Since then we’ve had two other cabinet makers one wanted $2750 for both & the other $1700 but only for the small cabinet. We saw your video & we were inspire but not sure if we will do it, we will try to get another cabinet maker if not we will do it ourselves. A lot of them say the job is too small and everything is going up. Thank you for doing this video.

"Load bearing" is the only thing I kept hearing in the back of my mind while watching this...It's a very good idea, and I may be wrong; but I'd say there is something very wrong with this picture.

This was interesting to see the before and after but I didn't see you increase the support for the stairs which you should have done since you removed a point of support. Also I hope you got a permit to do this otherwise if you go to sell your home in the future you will have to put it back before you changed it.

That is a great use of space, looks BEAUTIFUL and very usefull FANTASTIC job👍👍

Great use of empty space. Nice!
