How to cover ugly walls for free (almost)

[@Inkdraft]

One of the nicest DIY videos I've seen. No incessant chatter, no irritating "music". Just the true sounds of work well done. I think I could even smell the sawdust. Thanks for a great video.I clicked on your channel to see your other videos and liked what I saw so I came back here to subscribe.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much!

[@simonhaytack8801]

Agreed. So relaxing!

[@Ric7gard]

IT WAS VERY PLEASANT WATCHING YOUR VIDEO...NO MUSIC JUST NATURE AND SOUNDS OF YOUR WORK....GREAT GESTURE.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Ric!

[@peem1244]

Super job and a peaceful video with no music is refreshing. All we need is the sound of your tools working. Well done. Keep up the good work.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Pedro!

[@firstnamelastname59]

No terrible music! Fantastic!!

[@Ollaris]

You’re welcome!

[@eugeniosolari]

Great simplicity... no music needed, it is ok as it is! Many people do not like silence (even the bit you may enjoy in between tools sounds), but as you may see, many do appreciate... it is not only me in this comments

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much! It is surprising to me how many people prefer the tool sounds over the music.

[@annieo9468]

What a beautiful job. Not just in the end result...which looks amazing....but that you utilized what could be considered 'waste material'. That makes it all the sweeter. Thank-you.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Annie!

[@MrLeighman]

One of the most relaxing DIY videos I have ever watched. I love the Silence - back ground music so annoys me. Great video.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much!

[@jaynebrown693]

I love the silence also... but LOVE the sounds of the hand saw and other saws used. My Father was a contractor his whole life and I LOVE watching contractors work while building with wood! My passion, ❤️ I only wish my Father had taught me... but being a “girl” , it was frowned upon back than . This looks amazing. Best of both worlds to me.... WOOD and STONE foundation.... my 2 great loves! Thank you for sharing this... greatly enjoyed this with my morning coffee! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@raylarkin5004]

Yeah, it was very relaxing! 👍

[@VM-dg8xh]

Absolutly! 🥰🥰

[@lcdd9091]

Lololol i fell asleep

[@RockForMusic]

I dont know of anyone has ever told you this before but your a genius. I have been brainstorming ideas for this very same problem for 2 years now and you have solved it.

[@Ollaris]

Glad you like it!

[@mickeysanker1547]

I like this video a lot. I like that you did not use any music, my little dog like the drilling squealing. You did a very good job of the wall. I bet you neighbor loves it.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Mickey!

[@aaroncastellanos3421]

Awesome improvement, and what a great way to free up storage space too! You now have a perfect wall to hang planter boxes from.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much! Yes, I already did that! ;-)

[@princessglittersparkle4146]

Wow! Great use of pallets. This video was a pleasure to watch. You did a great job of covering an ugly wall.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Jennifer!

[@marthafealy6761]

Skillfully carried out and a great idea. I agree also with the no chatter and no music. Only thing is Ollari, I would need all your tools.....ha ha!! Well done.

[@ThePhoenixAscendant]

Fantastic project, I love what you turned those pallets into! I also love to see that you are using proper PPE which is always important. Oh, and it is perfect without music.

[@Ollaris]

Thanks Joshua!

[@francestompkins823]

Please people.... please read all replies before your comments......this would keep Mr Ollari from having to answer the same questions over and over and over.....I would rather see him spend his valuable time creating more useful and beautiful items.... creative people help my creativity.....thanks again Mr Ollari for your time and patience..... Fran...... Florida

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Fran!

[@raylarkin5004]

Can't beat that in any way! Great use of material and simple detailing gives this a #1. 👍

[@cambobby2011]

It is really beautiful. I love recycling wood palllets too. You just gave me a wonderful idea. Just love the finished look. Well done. Besides, it's for your neighbour, I hope he tanked you, or at least, showed you some gratitude. Cheers mate.

[@Ollaris]

Yes he did. Thank you very much!

[@gthmcty111]

Sebastian that was a fantastic video!!! Love the use of the natural sounds, the tools!! You always make it look so easy man lol!! I know some like the background music some don't, your videos are edited great... With or without music! Thank you for sharing!

[@Ollaris]

Thank you Larry! I posted a shorter version for my Patrons with Music ;)

[@beaufighter245]

Very good job. And as others have said, good to have no distracting music. Just shows what can be done and recycling what otherwise is thrown away. Well done!

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@charlenehansen8633]

I for one really like your idea and enjoyed watching it with out any noise or music. Job very well done 👍🏻

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Charlene!

[@bobbybray]

Great idea well executed. What I really liked tho, is the filming. No music just nice shots and on the nail sound. Totally meditational to watch something so organic being built like this. Well done infant & behind the camera.👏👍

[@donfillenworth1721]

Very nice! I’m envious of all of your storage space. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you! Yes it's great to have that much space!

[@MariaAparecidadeSouza777]

His work is very beautiful and followed the rustic style. Thank you for the excellent idea of embellishing a place. The restoration is practical and inexpensive. All the best from Goldingen-StGallen / Switzerland

[@reforzar]

Very cool, nice change of pace. Calm assembly, it looks great!

[@Ollaris]

Thanks, Brian! I've enjoyed working outside and sometimes it's just nice to hear the sounds of the ambience,

[@HandleKingHardware]

This is great, I love your dog having a look to see what's going on. Once you had it set up it looks fairly quick and easy to attach all the planks! Much nicer to look at than the wall behind it.

[@Ollaris]

Thanks a lot!

[@dorj1670]

I like this video bcs you don`t explain every single detail of what you`re gonna do. Instead you just did it. Like the way it is.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you!

[@fynbo1007]

Very beautiful result, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family

[@Ollaris]

Thank you, Carsten! God bless you too!

[@charis128]

Great work. Love the quiet and the thunder. Thank you for no music.

[@CReevesMakes]

Absolutely beautiful work! What a transformation. Great job.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you!

[@liomio4980]

not bad the pallets have been my solution to many small work and the wood is good and free... thumb up.......

[@Ollaris]

Thanks Lio!

[@LeLynx.]

Nice job ! Thanks from France ! My grandfather made a big barn door this way, some decades ago, then he painted it, with the old motor oil coming from the '63 Massey Ferguson model 30. He passed away since that time, but the door is almost intact. No worms will try to eat that wood, and the nails are more protected from the rust too. A useful way to recycle your (free) old motor oil.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you!

[@francestompkins823]

Is that true? Do you suggest I paint my wooden fence with my used car oil? I have had to put in 2 new fences in the last 20 years. Could you tell me more.... I am getting ready to retire so I will not have the funds later on to put up another fence in a fee years. Thanks Fran

[@ryanderks2771]

I'm building loft's in my barn with pallets I get for free from work. So I appreciate the time you took for this project:) it's alot of labor but fuck it. It's free lol. I got more time than money and enjoy making something out of nothing. Good work.

[@stingcoldplay1]

Absolutely love this! Searched for 'how to build a fence against a wall then your's popped up. Thank you for sharing!

[@MrBluetini]

The worst thing for me about watching these videos is the conversation with herself that follows where I explain why I need a new something or other. :D

[@digimikek]

Excellent design, work up and re-use of available materials. Well done.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much!

[@traktorworks3200]

well after watching the guys effort its a job well done. and also great to see how keeping all the old timber pays off as you dont need to purchase new timber to do this job

[@kathybluxome5514]

Beautiful wall! You have so much patience!

[@blitzburghbilly7813]

WELL THIS WAZ A KOOL PROJECT TO WATCH, I LIKED HOW YOU CUT TO MAKE THOZE CONNER MOLDINGS ALL 1 SOLID PIECE. 👏🏼 WELL DONE ( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) Sebastian .....

[@saffyone5198]

Fantastic neat job. Liked that you measured and spirit levelled everything properly. Great you didn't have music. Wished you lived near me! I love woodwork . Looking at the corragated iron 'fence' yr neighbour is never gonna tidy things up.

[@robinholbrook6576]

I thought the wall beautiful! You could see the layers of history right their! In many Irish villages and towns THIS is how the buildings look. You see the first layer built by the Viking influence covered up by other layers through the ages. You DID. A wonderful job, no question. And the wood will age. I just liked the story the rock and mortar had to tell.

[@jonathancrowe2414]

Totally agree, I preferred the 'honest' history wall.

[@StudioJLT]

Such a calm, peaceful experience. Well made!

[@Ollaris]

:-) Thanks!

[@Sirskibumsalot]

I just did this with free pallets I get from a John Deere store .....I pick up 20 at a time and have done a few projects with them . Just now doing skirting around the bottom of my new cabin I live in ....thanks for the vid ....You did a great job !!

[@jackiedenzin7095]

You are are genius, your work is fantastic....Well done!!

[@patriciacarrasco7981]

Great video with no music. Great job. Love you dark furry helper/supervisor/ overseer companion.

[@metamud8686]

I thought it was the wood wall he was fed up with and that he was going to show how to cover the wood wall up. Little did I know that the wood wall was, in fact, the improvement!

[@Ollaris]

Haha! Yes. Wooden walls are pretty rare around here. Mostly Brick, Stone or Pise.

[@garyclifton2180]

Looks great lots of fencing firms are making panels like that now my old 6ft fence is ready to change I'm thinking of doing like you have done it's very windy on my corner plot I think it will help with all the gaps might stop it blowing down lol

[@Ollaris]

Yes it helps with the wind, but make sure you use concrete instead of the pound in post holders. I had a couple break on me.

[@garyclifton2180]

@@Ollaris yes it's got spikes on the end I think with the wind they made like a groove under ground

[@datalaforge]

This is great! I enjoyed the peaceful sound design uninhibited by unnecessary background music. I'd really like to see an update in a year or so to see how the wood weathers.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much! I'll probably post some pictures on my Instagram.

[@danterry6328]

Look terrific, much improved. The roof and door is a gotsto go.

[@sandrawoodcock]

One of the top DIY I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Thank you for the wonderful idea! I wonder what it'd look like putting that inside and using using chinking to fill the gaps. I think I'd really like it

[@csyt4404]

Your neighbour should have definitely taken some of the responsibility but you have done a great job and it looks stunning. I really enjoyed the way the video was done too without music. New sub! 😁👌

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Cherise!

[@revmichaelkwarteng1218]

After a year, I just realized his neighbor was behind the camera. Puzzle solved?

[@nitafinke1484]

WOW...you did this for your neighbor....God bless you....do his roof next!

[@PaiviProject]

Wow you put all that work on the neighbors ugly wall. It sure looks 1000 times better. I would be one crazy happy woman if I had an access to that many good looking pallets !! 👍😀

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much!

[@CJDe-kx8of]

I agree with Maxima! Enjoyed your video as it is. A very nice looking, cost effective idea.👏

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much!

[@jeffinetlyjeffbi9770]

Handsaw, hammer drill, pallet wood, nailgun... Dude says I'ma make this look BA.. done! Very nice

[@kaylisperry6454]

A narrative would have been nice. Just the sounds of power tools, nail gun, etc..are so soothing if you toss in the smell of saw dust I'm out like a light. Probably comes from being raised by my grandfather. He was a general contractor and always building/fixing something

[@kaylisperry6454]

Could have used some verbal instruction or narrative. The result looked very nice. I'm curious refacing (not sure if that's correct word) wall was an option. Certainly not an almost free choice.. I have a bitch of a time around my neck of the woods finding decent pallets that are free. Got lucky at this one boat shop then made the mistake of sharing that info. Lol

[@flyop312]

really enjoyed, immense satisfaction and better without annoying music, and nice woofer

Thanks

Thanks!

That’s the hipster way! I’ll clean all the old clay and restore the stone behind it! Stone always lasts longer than wood!

Nice rustic look. No music needed.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much.

[@bigkev6784]

I learned something. The way you cut the corner pieces. Great. Tks

[@kenl5217]

Definitely looks much better. I'm surprised the neighbor let you do that.

[@marcusgarvey7695]

@ Ken I : No need to wonder but just use your logic think and imagine that the neighbourd wall is infront of your backyard and he doesnt see everytime you are busy working in your backyard as you do. Imagine everytime you wake up open your garage door and that neighbours ugly wall seem to smile back at you with broken old rotten teeth and instead of wondering why you think logically you can't blame him because first of all he doesnt see it as often as you do and it definately irritates you much more than he cares to repair it to please you and that gives you a reason to decide to do something about it and most of all you are technically gifted and happen to have access to free construction materials to give that ugly wall a new face lift something which will give you a smile instead of a frawn and a sense of accomplishment that you did yourself and the neighbour a great favour a win win situation. That is how i would reason and maybe thats the same motivation behind the crafty gifted man reasoning dont you think the same mr Ken L ? ✌😆👌

[@arelgr9407]

It was a great coincidence that the length of those roof overhangs fit perfectly with the length of pallet wood. Great work. and Don't put any music. It's easy for a person to put in the music they like while watching videos.

Yes it was!

I love it, it looks absolutely right for the place. Well done.

[@JustAskingAndCurios]

Nice job. Love seeing recycled (repurposed) projects. Your corner trim is clever...… but, about the shed roof, it needs straightening out, waiting for your next video.

[@DuartJansen]

The endresult is stunning, love it! Good idea to use a reprosaw to get rid of those nasty nails, those are always a pain in the ass, and some nails are so though you will wreck the pallet first before getting them out! Great job!

[@Jannufi]

Fine job and you could even put some flowering plants next to that wooden wall to make them climb up and it might look even more impressive.

[@Ollaris]

Thank you! It's in progress! ;)

[@archfrehley6881]

Great job there mate!! Just wondering why the sanding if u were not going to coat the timber?

[@highonsmog]

Very neat. Though, I kind of actually liked the stone accent with stucco look, since it is a style some people aim for. Sure, it needs to look clean, fresh and newer to achieve a stylish rustic vs old decrepid look; but, I'm sure you can freshen that up a lot faster than building a wooden facing when the wood starts to rot in a few years. Awesome job though!

[@Ollaris]

Since the wall is made of pise and it soaks the ground water there is no point fixing it especially not out of my pocket. And the pallets were free I don't care how long it will last. I can make one any time.

[@user-hv7gg8ze6n]
