What a great video. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for getting right to the point instead of beating around the bush like every other video. OMG!! Also, it was awesome that you added you falling in here. hahaha. I'm glad you weren't hurt. The best people in the world are the ones that can laugh at themselves. I was ill and aggravated trying to find a video on building an arch and after 100 videos of "BLAH BLAH BLAH" I found this. Not only did I find exactly what I needed, but it changed my mood. Thanks Again

Nicely done! You are like me, I don't overthink it and just go ahead and do it. If it doesn't come out the 1st time, I try again. I rebuilt a 1924 house by myself (of course friends helped). I picked it up really cheap with a couple acres of land, gutted it and rebuilt it all the way I wanted it. I lived 20 happy years there and remodeled as I lived there over the years, super cheap to do it yourself. Then I sold it for a very hefty profit.

Hello, great job. I've seen where they wet the back of the sheetrock to soften it then put it against the wall & screw it in. I'm not sure if along the way, some years from now, will your frame eventually show cracks.

Okay, kind of a crazy question but my hallway is a MAJOR focal point of my apartment… do you think this would be renter friendly in the sense that I can probably remove it before moving out? I’ll have to repaint before I leave anyway…

@ShannonElizabethDIY 11 ай бұрын

I guess I won’t title it renter friendly but it’s definitely possible. I have seen people do it with styrofoam that would definitely be more temporary. It would definitely need paint touch ups once you leave and maybe even some drywall and mud work depending on how you set it up. But if you want to you definitely should. As long as you want to do the work to do or pay someone to do it

@DougCube Жыл бұрын

@3:06 It is better to use an oscillating multi-tool for cutting drywall like that. But I'm guessing she didn't have one.

My reciprocating saw is my favorite tool of all time because it’s so useful but the oscillating tool is a very close second. You’re right about it being great for cutting. All the best!

@emilyshaya4784 Жыл бұрын

How many days does it take you to do this? I know you applied extra layers too so if you only did 2 layers, could this project be complete in 2 days? Tight space with a move and I'd like to add arches before painters come in!

Yeah you could if you you had one longer day and get joint compound in on the first day. It took me longer than two days but I was taking my time.
