I've been using that same trim puller while remodeling our 130 year old house, and it's been great for saving antique trim pieces that I can't replace or replicate.

How come you didn't cut the tile or the carpet back? I think I would have and put the bottom plate on the ground.
@TheFixerHomeRepair2 күн бұрын
It just really wasn't necessary and would add a lot more work, especially cutting the tile back. Very messy too!

@nhow4Күн бұрын
@@timdoehler3043someone clearly didn’t watch the video because he literally said he will in fact be replacing the floor too in the future. It’s really not a big deal at all, you’d just cut the carpet when you do the carpet. I mean I would’ve at least cut the carpet since that’s easy and not messy. Even if he was doing the tile in the future, you could just cut that in the future too. Too messy now and like he said not necessary at all, so why make more work for yourself when it’s not taking anything away from the job quality wise, cause as we all know this dude never cuts corners or half asses anything, so we can trust him with what he’s doing in his own house lol

Hey you get S*** done and I commend you for that!!!... But... (You knew there was a but coming) But, why didn't you remove the carpet and shim up to tile height on that side, or better yet remove the tile and carpet and attach your bottom plate directly to your subfloor?... Would have taken minimal extra effort and produced an even better end result...
@TheFixerHomeRepairКүн бұрын
🤣 it’s all good. My reasoning is that I just didn’t find it necessary, the studs are only holding up a few sheets of drywall… also, I am eventually ripping that tile out and the carpet. at that point I will shim under. No big deal.

@pamelas916 сағат бұрын
We don't have a table saw (and it never occurred to us) so instead of ripping down 2x4 when we closed our doorway we used thinner drywall on one side. Reno is always about problem solving.
@xsvennsteinКүн бұрын
A framed opening in the wall like that is also a nice opportunity for a semi-recessed bookcase, a shallow display niche, art niche, or even an interior window depending on your plans for the spaces.

Any reason why you didn't put the studs evenly spaced "on centre" ? You keep saying on centre but you were measuring from the left side. Just seems off to me to not make the studs evenly spaced in the gap.
