Hey Gang! We've been waiting a long time for this one! Had the idea of the reglet baseboard detail wayyy back in the framing stage so really cool to see it come to life here! We did cut a 6 inch piece of base to check it out after we were done and MAN does it look good!
It feels like we're getting so close! So what team are you on, Vanilla or Blonde?!

You mentioned that you’ll stop saying “it’s the next day”. I honestly like when you do. Gives us “chapters” in each video.

[@kaiserbailey]

It gives a good frame of reference for timelines for all the different projects

[@JoshuaR.Collins]

I agree, also gives us a way to see just a long things take

[@ggrimm79]

Yep. One annoying thing about many other construction channels is you don't get a realistic feel for how long things take. Mistakes and real timelines are much more beneficial than squeaky clean overly produced DIY shows.

[@RageDaug]

Agree 100%. I think when I first watched Stud Pack I just thought "that's unnecessary", but I just don't think it would feel like a Stud Pack video without knowing it's the next day...don't stop!

[@cantgetright742]

I especially like it when it’s something you should really be waiting for awhile. And you’ll never know because 30 seconds can cover 12 hours of idle time on video

Nice work Studpack. I installed a new shower enclosure last year and wanted to use Trimtex. There's a different version than you used with a wider perforated flange... that's the correct shit to use. Tried to source it...nope...gotta buy lifetime supply. Even though I live a couple miles from Trimtex ...no can do. I ended up using the stuff you guys used for around windows that one place in all of SoCal had. Another: great product nobody fukn has! Next shower I'll call Trimtex again and tell them that I'm doing a re-clit shower and a bundle will get delivered as a sample for crying out loud.

[@UTSope]

I like the blond to contrast the all white just a little bit. It feels so close to being done on this end, I can just imagine how close it feels for you guys.

[@notmirelnam248]

When you install tongue & groove ceilings, always measure out how many boards it will take to finish to the edge. If you need 20.2 whole boards, then you'll have a super skinny end piece. Instead, tablesaw your first board so that it will be similar in size to your end board. This is especially important because it allows for framing errors without being too noticeable. If your framers are out of square by 1/2", then that's less noticeable on a 3" wide end piece than a 1" wide end piece. On another note, if your boards aren't long enough and you need to splice them, I recommend mapping out a good "center beam" point that goes perpendicular to the others so that all of your boards remain unspliced and simply dive into the "decorative beam." It is a very clean look that elevates your work above your competition.

[@ZachAshcraft]

All in personal prefrence. I admire the skill and patience it takes to pull off, but I much prefer traditional baseboard

[@jimharmon3404]

I did a shadow on a knee wall shadow line between the top of the knee and an oak shelf at the top. I recommend that you paint the recessed shadow area flat black. It enhances the shadow effect and will match the black trim of the windows. Just paint it black before you install the baseboard. Man! That is going to be one awesome garage!

[@joshuac710]

I LOVE Paul's comment about a clean jobsite being a morale booster. 18:20 It is 100% true. My brother-in-law is redoing his master bath, but it's taking forever, and there's tools and materials all crusted with dried thinset everywhere! All I did was tidy up a bit and his wife thinks I'm the bee's knees. (My pleasure, sis, you're the best)! Oh--I also did the plumbing 😅

[@SeanFitz-vo4fm]

I get a bit overwhelmed/depressed on a diy project when the job site has tools, crap, , materials, debris everywhere. But Once I clean and organize it, I'm motivated to keep going and get it done, as the job then seems more manageable.

I know you read all these, so I just wanted to tell you thanks. I got sucked into "oh it's just a few deck boards" into rebuilding teh entire deck. And it was really annoying having to switch bits all the time. and I remembered that you had the little magnetic wrist wrap and liked it. So i bought one. THING IS A MASSIVE GAME CHANGER. heck it pays for itself in not losing bits every 22 seconds. so thanks for that and all the great content you guys put out.

The best solution for bucket drywall is to cut a piece of Saran wrap on the bucket lid and smooth remaining mud flat , place Saran wrap on top of mud so all air is locked out.

[@Herby-1620]

I did just that, and I've had more than a year between uses, and it was still good!

It's nice to see hidden lighting returning to the ceiling. It was standard in homes through the 1940s, and it's a great feature. I love your attention to detail when building. It truly marks the difference between a general contractor and an artisan craftsman.

[@planesandbikes7353]

I really like the modernist touches. But I can't say I have the patience to do all the extra measuring and mudding along the base like that.

[@hskrgrad]

Kind of feel like this may have been an after the fact decision. Would have been simpler to rip a piece of wood the size they needed for the reveal and tack it to the wall when hanging drywall, then install the reglet before having the dyrwall joints finished. There was a lot of extra work the way they did it...but modern details like this are still extra work even when you do it efficiently. It's why so many homes just stick with the traditional way of doing things.

[@kristine_nicole.]

I miss the videos where it was one task being done and it got finished in the whole video 😭 I feel like we need a recap on the unfinished railing on the balcony, a recap on the unfinished cedar colour (stained still or did you go white), recap on the kitchen (can't remember where you got up to or what happened). I feel so lost but I watch every video! 😫

RE: oscillating tool blades, I got some very cheap blades on Amazon; like 50 blades for $30. I want to be clear - they're hot garbage, but they're fine for drywall and soft wood. (Construction/framing lumber, deck material, etc.) Would have been perfect for some of this.

[@lechatbotte.]

I do the same. Usually you aren’t doing finish work so the blades don’t really matter.

[@jtkilroy]

Great tip, thanks. Because those blades are priced like there is a black market for them.

[@greggcoulter6008]

By Jordan’s answer to the base not having LED’s it sounds like maybe there’s been some comments about all the lighting but I think the Studpack LED Garondo looks great. You guys had the opportunity to buy a house and build your own from scratch starting with the Garondo and I’m glad you added all these extras and brought us along step by step. You’ve always showed mistakes and ways to remedy which is more realistic and informative. Great channel and glad I found it in the beginning.

[@handles_are_dumb_01]

I'll be curious about what the final product looks like, but I kinda like the idea of flush baseboard. Sometimes normal baseboard can be kind of annoying when you want a piece of furniture to be pushed against the wall.

[@TalktomeGoose-vm6dn]

Can you update with the finished baseboard? That would be great? Also, when you set the baseboard in to show the viewers (26:06) there was approximately a 2"plus gap at the bottom, the flooring would make up for that gap. Is there something else that goes under that? Love the concept and glad I came across this video. No more cleaning baseboard dust!

[@njkay0033]

2 things. First, I say go with the Vanilla floor. Has a bit more of a modern feel which matches the vibe of the space. 2.) If you knew you were doing Reglet from the getgo, wouldn't it have been easier to install spacer blocks at the floor and hang your drywall on that. Then just remove the spacer blocks and you would have had the height and reveal ready to go?

Just finished putting new chair rail and base trim in my home after installing new flooring, Managed to get almost all of it installed without nails - caulk only. Changed out the old 2" 70s trim with new 3 1/2" base trim and man what a difference it makes. Transformed my home's 1970s duck l'orange look to the 21st Century. I used Benjamin Moore's Aura interior paints and wow, what a quality paint job that stuff produces!

I don't understand why the adhesive is required at all. I'd think the staples, and the expected mud, would hold that just fine. Oh, on edit, Blonde, no doubt. Anyone that wants a light floor like the Vanilla doesn't have to clean it. And calling out the Build show was a good laugh.

[@txmade4371]

I dont even use staples, no issues.

[@MaethorDerien]

It mostly just makes it much faster and easier to put up. Trying to get it level using staples is fairly difficult and takes way more time. With the adhesive a single person can put it up using the level very quickly.

[@tsicby]

It's plastic trim, not metal. Good luck getting mud to stick to it. The adhesive keeps it from moving on the drywall and helps the mud stick.

I have the same taste as this guy. The windows are exactly what I would do and the flush mount baseboards are just awesome, so much stronger aesthetically than normal trim.

I did a skirting like that on my last house except that we have to structurally fix our wall linings for earthquakes, so I had to use an extra nogging along the bottom of the sheets. I also ran the plasterboard back into the window so I had no jamb or architrave and had a negative detail around the doors. A really cool and unique look.
