All your projects not only significantly improve the use of space but are always so beautiful. Your thorough planning and testing always results in something fabulous. Especially love how you reuse and up cycle existing materials. None of this success would have been possible without the supervision by Little Miss ❤😊 who is too cute 😊. Thank you for sharing. Always worth the wait 🎉

[@galastudio9]

hahahaha i know, our little project manager kept both of us busy and made sure we will be able to delivery this on time

Hey guys, this was an absolutely beautiful project.. And not only is project amazing, but your video production and storytelling is superb … What a beautiful piece of work

The way you live and act is a big inspiration for me.I wish you the best !!!

[@galastudio9]

glad you found it inspirational, hope you all the best as well!

[@kerenkroll]

Beautiful! As my family says, it looks like it was "born" there. Meaning it looks perfectly suited as to look like it arrived naturally with the house.

[@galastudio9]

it minds me of Michelangelo, who said once: "Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."

[@paulchen_tw8450]

每次看你們的影片都有種令人放鬆的感覺 而且DIY能力又強又有想法與設計感 真不錯👍

[@tishhobbs6998]

I would consider putting a few holes on the bottom aluminum piece to allow for water to escape. You did a lovely job. I am considering using your design as a template for a door to my side yard. I need the fencing up first. If I make it that far I'll post a pic. Enjoy your little oasis with your lovely family.

[@galastudio9]

Looking forward to your new project as well! we originally thought of adding weep holes to aluminum channel, but in the latest option, we had three flat bar welded on the aluminum channel which create a separation between the base channel and the timber parts, also there is a tiny gap between the 2 pieces of alum angle for water to escape, that probably should be able to do the work, hopefully

[@hanshendrady1253]

Just love the video and your work. nice one.

[@spiffy7832]

This video was a visually informative experience in every aspect. You literally left no "rock" unturned. We (the viewing audience) got to see how you mastered the design and implemented the process every step of the way. Thank you for providing us that aesthetic. Very, very impressive video. ❤😊

[@galastudio9]

Thank you so much for your "rock"-solid compliments! I am flattered

[@mczn9499]

great work, stunning results! also really entertaining to watch. unsolicited advice: the only thing that i would reconsider is the cement dusting and watering technique, especially next to the soil of a recently planted maple which are known to be sensitive to changes in soil acidity. the cement will leech into the soil and make it less acidic. i doubt that it will harm the tree as it wasn't a big amount, but is just one thing to keep in mind. cheers!

[@galastudio9]

that's a good point, maples does prefer more acidic soil, we will keep watching to see if there's obvious impact down the road

i love the videography and the style of video. depending on the rain, i feel like you could have installed a water tank so that the water doesn’t puddle up on the maple tree

[@leannegander796]

Beautiful! ❤

[@cornerliston]

Lovely! As I understand aluminium is very difficult to weld? Very interesting technique though. Opens up a lot of possibilities.

[@galastudio9]

it is hard to weld, this technique would be more similar to soldering than welding in a way, welding will create a even stronger joint

[@dianetm8557]

So wonderful! May I suggest a paint coating on the Ikea shoe storage to perhaps match the house? This is so well executed and beautiful to look at.

[@galastudio9]

we did thought of that, it stand out too much than it needs to be right now, we are thinking sourcing(or making) a wood mid century one in the future

I always thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. your projects are functional and beautiful, I wish I had such vision and ability. About the stripper I've seen many furniture restorers on ytube say you must cover the cirti strip with plastic and don't let it dry out.. it's more effective that way 🤷🏾‍♀️ just a thought.

[@galastudio9]

Thank you for the constructive feedback, i did google it and you are right, it would work better when covered (probably less evaporation, no wonder we are seeing the white smoke during the process)

Thanks for the tips! we do have mask we will try to remember put it on more often. the wet tile saw has a water nozzle constantly spraying onto the cutting blade when cutting the bricks, it should be able to reduce majority of the dust during brick cutting by theory.
