Great idea about the wood glue and saw dust! Great video.

[@RyanTruongChannel]

Great job sir! Thank you for sharing!

[@BradyHommel]

Appreciate it. Thanks!

[@innawoodsman]

Bro entombed that bee in the drywall 💀💀💀 Looks great though, if I hadn't seen the video I'd think the house was just built like that

[@sirijanthakur]

Super educative, learned a lot, thank you so much! keep making such informative videos, I'll start painting the tinny dog house now( motivated by u )

Here is a general rule about electricity. Make tight connections. I twist wire before the wire nut. With that said, when you flip the breaker you will almost always know immediately if you have a probelm. Don't be afraid. Electricity is not rocket science. There are thousands of vidoes to guide you.

[@elizabethdiaz6508]

Very nice nice job 🎊

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks a lot!

[@davidlarsen2184]

I used to do my own drywall work on my house but I came across a taper (he doesn't hang the board he only muds and tapes) now I don't do any. He taped my kitchen ceiling and there was no dust he did 3 trips to the house and only put on enough mud needed a true master, find one in your area. I noticed you have your planer attached to a shop vac, there is a lid you c an buy for a garbage can that converts the garbage can to a cyclone and easier to empty that the shop vac.

[@truedisciple2897]

Nice video. Why didn't you leave the wood look of the header or stain it?

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks! I wanted it to look like a beam that stuck out from the drywall. The header there would have been in from the drywall.

[@jenniferammari2916]

"Leave that fuckerr right there" 🤣🤣

[@BradyHommel]

😅

[@michaelbrown1015]

You did a good job. That being said, just an fyi, because a wall has pocket doors doesn't mean it's not a load-bearing wall.

[@gregmize01]

Very cool!

[@pcrkbr]

Nice look...what is a "utility board"? Not sure my HD has those....

[@michaelnieves3550]

Nice Job

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks!

Not bad I’m getting some remodeling done and opening my kitchen to dining room and expanding my bathroom are on the list I’m afraid to diy it so I got to pay a company I’m going to start a small project before trying something like this

[@ChildhoodDreamCar]

hey, I need help, I'm doing a similar project at my place. I demolished the entire wall and I want to replace it with already prepared wooden beams. The gate will be similar, only made of beams. I have already prepared the wood, but I have no idea how to mount it solidly so that the cracks are not visible, the upper beam will lie on the other two and adhere to the ceiling.

[@colinwalker6102]

How did you transition the flooring?

[@thepitpatrol]

Nice!

[@ethanezekiel5138]

Great video! I've learned a lot. One question I have is did you need to get a permit to open the wall? I opened my wall (smaller size than yours) but did not get a permit. I'm wondering if I need to undo my work and get a permit first...

[@chris-parker]

Reviewing, calling, or visiting your city, county, and/or state building codes and permitting office will be your best bet. There can be differences in permitting requirements, materials and methods, inspections, etc. Ask yourself, are you significantly changing the structure, electrical, plumbing, or other features of the house? If yes, then most likely yes. If no, then check again. You may get away with a DIY home repair or "upgrade" without a permit, not using a licensed professional, or using materials and methods that dont adhere to code for a while. Because unless you're doing something to the exterior or your neighbor squells on you, then code enforcement isn't going to know. But when you try to sell your house or if there is an issue like your house burned down, then you're going to be in a difficult situation.

[@DivaLishuss427]

How much would you say this project cost? We’re about to do the same thing

[@xerx920]

Looks good. But that was crazy you didn’t move any furniture or rugs during the whole thing. Especially during sanding. lol

[@BradyHommel]

😂 dumb move on my part.

[@martinmartin6117]

Good Job Bro

[@BradyHommel]

Thank you!

[@tonyaburnside1037]

Yep, that sounds about like my desk room. I’ve never used it. I think I’m taking down the wall. I’m done.

[@ianreleford9067]

Love how the battle with the bee ended.

[@nicatrucker971]

New subscriber amazing job

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks a lot!!

[@justinmiller33]

I have a very similar lay out as you…my flooring in my house is two different wood floorings slightly different colors conjoined right where the wall is going to be taken out. What did you do with the flooring where the wall was?

[@BradyHommel]

I just put a transition piece there. You can buy them but I just made my own

[@64maxpower]

Hold the vacuum next to your sander. It won't catch 100% of the dust but maybe 80%

[@BradyHommel]

Good tip!

[@Elishea001]

You put the dry wall over the dead bee 😮🤯😱

[@cathleenarmstrong7085]

I'm so proud of you, I appreciate you. you've done an amazing job keep up the good work. also it's fine that you put the bee in the wall, who cares like really. now he has history he will always be with the house LOL

[@j.rothchild173]

Good job, but it looks like a 70s living room!

[@BradyHommel]

House was built in 78. So you nailed it... lol

[@edintosh]

Good work, except you should have covered your flooring and add some plastic to keep the dust from going all over the place. But that's just me

[@BradyHommel]

Lol. That would've been smart.

[@jokersam8625]

the bee left in the wall bothers me lol

[@mrdownwiththesouth7015]

👍🏾👍🏾

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks!

[@zhanwang311]

Not a good idea not masking the furnitures. There is even a baby swing...

[@BradyHommel]

Dumb move I agree. Got a little to excited to get going on it. Lol

[@tgodla]

That’s American house 🏡 cardboard box 😢😢😢

[@JayLupe]

What do you mean.. elaborate please

[@JayLupe]

@@CrambobulousRichard aaah okay, im american but ive always wondered why mostly everybody here(usa) builds their homes out of wood also. Ive always said im gonna use concrete poured block walls for mine, alot more sturdy.

[@actmrhata5079]

If done correctly, wood is just fine

[@XanderMianus]

Sloppiest job I have ever seen. Drywall dust everywhere. Tools all over the couches. This guy literally made ZERO preparations prior to starting. Didn’t even bother to move his rugs.
