Framing Bedroom/Hall Closet | Adding Basement Stair Headroom

Рет қаралды 117,653

In this video, I continue framing the bedroom and start on the hallway closet. I start with the bedroom then move to the closet. While I'm framing the hallway closet, I open up the existing floor to gain headroom for the basement stairs. Having extra headroom going down to the basement is something that I have wanted for a while so I was excited to tackle this project.

I love it, even though the video was listed at 1 hour long it certainly did not feel that long. Movie directors could learn from you on editing some of the movies they do. Your video is insightful, intelligent, educational, humourous and just plain fun to watch. As for the work that too is awesome. Can't wait to see your next video. Stay well and thanks again for sharing. Oh forgot to say lowering the shelf was the way to go, even if it meant a slight change in the framing, mistakes not caught until after, never stop bothering you. Trust me.

Being a 6ft tall woman, I find this a real necessity. Raising the height of the stair well is warranted, especially if I had to go up and down the stairs for laundry. Carry on... great job and super informative. I enjoy your videos very much I have an old home as well and have had some similar problems. Nice to see someone address theses stressful issues.

The house just gets better with every video, I'm so invested. The head height is just perfect. I was skeptical when you said you were going to go back to a triangular design instead of the box but it was well worth it. I hope to see the next part of the project soon.

@candicespencer2021 Жыл бұрын

The extra head room was very much needed! Personally, I would have liked the box instead of the slant inside the upstairs closet as I have had that and it was nice to have a level area to store boxes or whatever inside the closet. I love watching you improve your home!!!!

My man!!!! I can tell you are a tad OCD like I am, ha! I bought an old house, built in 1931, good bones but the former owner did everything half ass. I was working far from home and traffic was a mess, so I contracted the first projects, but is never the same. Now retired I am having a blast with my power tools! Also, you and I being owners makes a difference because we clean, we vacuum, we make sure is even and plum and handsome even if it will be hidden. Nothing like a homeowner to overkill and make sure our kids are safe! Is the reason why you do the "just in case" nails, ha! I had a lot of fun watching this video and uncanny how I almost knew what you were going to do and say! These are the things we do ourselves because they will never be done as well by anyone else! I already replaced the knob and tube, the water lines, even installed a sump pump, and all the wires, lines and pipes are straight, leveled and somehow in harmony with joists and studs, ha!

Very cool! We had something similar in our house here in Ireland, built in the 1940s. When going from the ground floor to the 1st floor too- so in a high traffic area! I'm 5'6" and couldn't go down the stairs or up the stairs standing up straight. Just moving the stair well hole about 6" further along the floor and starting the top about 4" higher put the ceiling angle parallel with the stairs not only looked way better, but gave most people under 6'2" enough room they didn't have to duck! Also found during our move-in, even after my adjustments, the mattress only just fit up the stairs and that's with extreme persuasion! So much so, when we sold just a couple years ago, we left the bed upstairs to be someone else's problem. We heard the new owners got a deal where you buy a new bed, they take away the old one for free... the furniture delivery guys, "had a heck of a time taking away the old bed- they had no idea how the mattress got up those stairs in the first place." haha

Then when you explained how you rethought about leaving it angled but just higher that totally made sense and I agree that you made the right decision in the end. That’s exactly how every renovation goes in my house! I’ll start out doing one thing and right in the middle of it I’ll rethink it and come up with the best decision. Keep up the great videos!
