BOY'S you have literally saved me THOUSANDS watching this video got quoted £2,500 for the same type of media wall as in the video the money saved will pay for new TV and electric fireplace can't thank you enough 👍👍👍

[@w4rdy364]

Absolute quality this. You also sound like Terry Tibbs....." So you wanna build a media wall.....talk to me". 😂

[@homeimprovements]

🤣🤣

[@MuddyBootz]

Maybe mention about routing the cabling before fitting the inner shelves 👍🏻

[@peterlucy1519]

So, how was the socket fitted afterwards?

[@scotschik]

yay finally a tutorial where i dont need to plaster the unit lol planning on building full wall with an electric fire too (wall hanging one) so this has helped a lot :D oh and whats the name of the cornering tape? cant see list of supplies and looking online comes up with scrim/joint tape and none like this :/

[@user-dx3yo5zc1m]

Absolutely fantastic work and you are all exceptional teachers. I am about to start measuring out for a media wall in my home and your video has made me feel so much more confident. Thanks for the time and effort you are putting in to all of your videos for us mere mortals!

[@vickyleigh5399]

Brilliant video would of liked to have seen how you done the led lights behind tv and on shelf

[@stevecarr2526]

What a great video and that media wall looks fantastic. 😊😊 brilliant job

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@ShadowzGSD]

23:50 top tip - you already have a drill, you can use that as a router and wizz a hole in the plasterboard in seconds.

[@denisconor648]

Great stuff thanks.

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks 😊

[@jigsey.]

Great video lads, but what about the wiring ??

[@bryanjones1857]

Excellent industrial techniques training.covering all basics with great ellaborative.methods of instruction ! Well impressed Visio Going to recommend this to my own friends , But a great reminder to me from my old days on sites.! Cracking !

[@homeimprovements]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 👍🏻

[@scaniapower4610]

Hello what paint did you use please to paint onto plaster board did you need to use a primer first

[@RDavisElectrical]

Yes boys 👏🏻👏🏻

[@homeimprovements]

💪🏼

[@mrwhippy14]

I dont even need a media wall, but some very good tips indeed. Felt like I was helping you on my first day on the tools 😂

[@homeimprovements]

🤣👌🏼👌🏼

[@incorrect1844]

Polish lad punching them Numbers in 🤣✌️❤️👍👍

[@johnconlon3848]

Great video just wish you could have shown putting up tv bracket and lighting for that particular job as all jobs are different. You guys do great content

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks 😊 we covered in a separate video in more depth

[@tadkaguy2360]

Amazing. Any chance of a plan showing the dimensions etc ?

[@karimkechkar]

Great video guys . How did you fill between ceiling and new plasterboard ? Did you just Caulk or did you use tape and filler ? 😊

[@ollie6512]

Exactly same concept for stud walls? Or would you need to brace it into a stud within the stud wall?

[@WhatTimeIsIt999]

Bit off topic. Can you do a video of your tool collection. Thanks

[@neildaniels5443]

I bet da guy dat painted it could do a great Harry Kane impression 😅😂

[@craigsweeneys]

I have a plasterboard wall, what fixings would you recommend to fix the 2 main uprights to wall ?

[@paulstevens865]

Amazing. Really appreciate the idiots guide to approach. Have a thumbs up, gents. Thank you very much.

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks mate 😊🙏🏼

[@Malkani1990]

Do you guys cover Manchester?

[@teawizard]

You sound like Terry Tibbs 😂. Great job 🍻

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks! 😃

[@MrTubertub]

May I ask why you didn't use metal studs for this build? Regards

[@user-li4ot3hc3e]

Amazing work boys! I was just wondering is it incorrect to plaster the media wall before painting or is that just a more expensive and longer process ?

[@homeimprovements]

Plaster is better but much more in cost 😊

[@user-li4ot3hc3e]

@@homeimprovements thought as much ! Also how do you calculate how much wood is needed for the job?

[@westcoastmodels]

This video has given me the bug now! Fantastic build! Now to run it past the wife 😅

[@homeimprovements]

😊👏🏼

[@user-xg7mh8ow7k]

could you list what you bought material wise .couldnt hear when you were asking

[@derricktinsley9461]

Please direct me to the wiring video for the media wall. Thank you.

[@brendonburgin5250]

Yay metric, bloody Americans lol. Great videos lads.

[@thelab59]

Celling plaster boad?

[@nigelbennett316]

What would you do differently if your walls are thermalite block rather than proper walls? 😊thermalite crumbles when you breath on it let alone screw into it 😂

[@luckyluke8052]

You didn't use English plaster??? How is it possible 😂😂😂

[@mattykel6135]

Great job looks top quality work. But it's not £200 to do that whole job. You can't leave labour price out, even if its DIY doing the job, it's still your time doing the job.

[@spcullinan6766]

How much do you charge yourself for work in your own home?😂

[@shaltonmartis1314]

This makes non sense hahaha

[@MajesticQueen91]

I noticed you didn’t check for wires or beams?

[@abgs4557]

Who can build me 1 for a 1ner I'll get the materials 😊

[@Amped-JDS]

Lol, mentions to avoid drilling into cables and then drills directly into a safe zone where you should never put a fixing. Couldn't make it up.

[@homeimprovements]

Pay attention mate you’ll see the socket disappear do as I say not as I do we moved the sockets

[@Amped-JDS]

@@homeimprovements I saw the cabling was complete skipped over but that doesn't help the casual viewer that, as the comments below show, copy exactly what you do. You drilled into the wall directly in a safe zone while the socket was in plain view. You can't dress that up any other way.

[@lucidcreationscouk]

What is a safe zone?

[@Amped-JDS]

@@lucidcreationscouk it's the area on walls that are designated as a safe place to run cables or the places to expect cables so you cannot drill there. It's in the building regs and it's generally, 150mm all the way around the outside of a wall and up, down, left and right of any electrical outlet or switch etc.
