Part two in a series documenting the transformation of an existing storage space into an apartment for my daughter. In this video I install a drain line for the sink, insulate walls and ceiling, and hang the drywall.

That's a very kind thing you are doing for your daughter, Mick. I did the same a few years ago, and she soon will fly the nest so I will miss her.

I subscribed because you do great work and because you don't milk everything to death like so many channels do. Many others would have made a 10-part series out of what you did in 2 videos and stretched it out over 10 weeks.

Thanks, and welcome! I’m really enjoying sharing the process. There’s lots of talking and not much progress on many of the building/remodeling videos I’ve seen, like you mentioned.

Those windows are going to let in so much sunlight. It will make the space feel so open and cheery. I think it's going to look really great when you are done.

I love watching you! This video reminded me of my dad who was a drywall man and when I was a kid I used to go to work with him…It was so fun and I learned to tape and mud and walk on stilts. I love that you are doing this for your daughter… keep the videos coming 😊

Great solution to the housing problem! Noticed there was some water damage on the ceiling boards before you insulated? Maybe new roof tiles are in the future?

That was quick work on the drywall hanging. I hope you are better at taping and mudding than I am. You did the framing so at least you will know who to blame if the sheets aren’t in plane.

Shouldn't you have added a steel lintel or something above the exterior door opening? Or at least frame a header? Pretty sure that block is bearing at least a few of your ceiling joists.

Was wondering if your home is in a warmer climate? Where we live it is code for vapour barriers to be installed on all the interior side of the exterior walls and ceilings.

@Madebymick 2 күн бұрын

It’s a cold area in the winter, but it’s super dry. The paper backing on the insulation is a vapor barrier which worked for the walls and ceiling. I probably should have put something under the windows along the brick wall.

It’s going to be amazing. I love all of the windows but I’ve got to ask: how’s the road noise?

Thanks, and I love the windows too. The road is a little noisy, but we got used to it after a while.

@kadieclayton9648 10 күн бұрын

What about insulation the brick under all those windows? Will be cold thru just drywall.

@Madebymick 8 күн бұрын

The furring strips are only 3/4” thick, so it wouldn’t have added much R value, but I probably should have put some there anyway.

@c.phillips7728 11 күн бұрын

This is wonderful! But I do have a question -- even before you began, didn't you have to get permission from a zoning commission or some such entity? Lots of communities in our area do not allow "additional dwelling units" on existing, one-family residential properties. Now, the neighborhood was originally built around the mid-1960s, and there are a few duplexes on some corners, but it's absolutely a "one lot, one house" sort of place. Regardless, this is a terrific apartment for your daughter. You have great skills!

@Madebymick 9 күн бұрын

Thanks! This is actually in a commercial zone that allows for multi family housing, and before I purchased it, it was two separate units and has been for the last 40 years or so. It’s kind of a unique situation.

@rockingredpoppy9119 6 күн бұрын

So it appears, the bedroom and bathroom is still in the main house? The addition is a living room, laundry and kitchen? I believe a young woman would have prioritized the bedroom and bathroom and no connecting door to the parents house. Is there a way to close off the bedroom and bath from the rest of the original house? 😊

@Madebymick 6 күн бұрын

I closed in the door, and I agree with you, I want her to have her privacy. This is a stepping stone for her, and we’ll see what the future holds. Thanks for commenting! 👍

No vapor barrier? No foam board over the brick on the exterior walls? Going to be a damp space.

@NicoleK8 10 күн бұрын

I'm pretty ignorant, but maybe it's got to do with being in Utah? That's a really dry state....

@Madebymick 10 күн бұрын

The rest of the house, as well as many others in the area are built this way with no moisture problems. Utah is pretty dry, and I probably should have put a little insulation board there, but it’s only 3/4” thick in that small area which faces South also.
