I converted some extra attic space into a closet & playroom!

Technically, my house is listed as a 2-bedroom because the huge room upstairs that my boys live in doesn't have a closet. My grandad used that room as his art studio and not as a living space. So, besides adding some space for extra clothes, I am going to increase the value of our home by turning this area into a code-compliant bedroom.
My boys' room is upstairs and the roofs are angled inward. The space behind the pitched roofs is all attic space. This empty space allows us to build into it so we can add the new closet. If you remember the bunk beds we built earlier in this year, you'd see that the wall we are building into also supports the top bunk of one of the beds. Having this as a design constraint, we are going to knock out the rest of that wall leaving the opening for the closet. Excitingly enough, the attic space behind the bunk bed is usable and will connect to the new closet giving the kids an extra playroom.
Because this extra attic space is triangular, I wanted to bring some definition to the new closet. I framed out a small knee wall that would become the back of the closet. So that I didn't entirely block off the rest of the attic, I also framed in an access doorway in the pitched rafters.
To create a space for the closet opening, I had to remove a row of wall studs. Because this wall supported the rafters above it, I had to add a header above the space to support the weight. I laminated some boards together, wedged them at the top of the planned opening, and supported it with two jack studs. all of these new supports were nailed into place. Now, instead of looking at the back of a framed wall, we were now left with a big square of unsupported drywall.
Now then, to block a lot of this heat from getting into the closet space and affecting he temperature of the room, I had to add a bunch of insulation. I used R13 pink fiberglass insulation stapled between the studs and the rafters. Where the fiberglass wouldn't work, I sprayed in some high-expansion foam to seal up all of the remaining gaps from the rest of the attic.
This step seems pretty self-explanatory. But I was waiting to open up the space until we had semi-safe area. I didn't want to open up a potentially-dangerous job site to my boys' room for them to wander into when I wasn't around. Before we smashed the wall down, I scored the area around the opening with a utility knife so that the drywall would blowout and ruin the parts that would remain.
But now is the time! I gathered the kids and we smashed through the wall together! It was pretty fun. Scoring the wall really helped the drywall break into manageable chucks for easy disposal and there wasn't a huge mess to clean up.
For this project, I tried to avoid it at all costs but the reality of a finished closet/playroom without drywall wouldn't have worked. In the video, I didn't go into detail about putting up drywall, there are plenty of resources to help with that terrible process. I did eventually finish the drywall and my wife gave it a few coats of paint.
In a regular closet, you can attach little cups to either parallel wall to hold a long rod. In our case, the bracket would have to attach the the pitched ceiling and hold a rod down from it. The easiest solution we found was to get two simple 90-degree metal brackets, attach them to the angled ceiling, and add a large wooden dowel to the hanging ends. This solution worked really well and by cutting a slot into the dowel and inserting the metal bracket, it kept the kids from hitting their heads on an exposed metal corner.
This project was a big one. It had a lot of challenges and a lot project considerations. If you have a big construction project like this, you have to consider all of the hard parts and the tedious pieces before you can smash things and pick paint colors. Also, I am making some bi-fold doors for the closet, so look out for those as well. MUSIC: share.epidemicsound.com/iltms

May I just say, it's amazing that you allow your daughter to assist and that you're teaching her about this sort of thing. Woodworking and hardware craftsmanship are stereotypical "Male" skills, and it's exhausting being a female and being told "You can't do that, you're a girl." So two high-fives to you for teaching her that yes she's a girl, and yes she can do it. ^_^

Best part is @ 18:36 when you involved your daughter. My daughter who is turning 7 soon, has taken major interest in all the projects daddy has been doing around the house. She has learned how to cut the grass, paint, hang doors, use a screwdriver... Its the best feeling in the world when you are working in one area and look over to see your child working in another. Hats off to all the dads and moms whom are teaching their children how to repair rather than replace.

I did a similar room and was getting a quote from a tradie for other work but he insisted on quoting for this attic room too because I 'didn't know what I was doing' (me=senior female and he had a problem with women, haha). He planned to cut through the dry wall with a reciprocating saw 'without' checking power cable location even though power outlets and light switches were along that wall. Did it myself (not with a recip saw) and sure enough 240v cables exactly where he planned to cut and not turn off the mains power. Good on you for teaching your daughter stuff like this, we (females) are just as capable. Alongside my DH (we work side-by-side as equals) we built our own 2-storey house with no prior experience, so it can be done and the satisfaction is huge!!

There have been several questions about moisture under the roof. It’s hard to explain but the rafters that I insulated between are NOT the roof (with sheathing and shingles). That is another layer up above that section. There’s not go by to be any issue with mold or moisture.

[@MrHandwerk]

Class video! Best regards MrHandwerk :)

[@the42nddragon]

Still, if the outside (behind the insulation) gets colder as the room temperature and you havn't sealed the insulation air-tight, warm air might get behind the insulation (because of slight air pressure differences) where the moisture it contains condenses on the colder surfaces … Or did I miss something that would prevent that?

Michael Wilding a lot of these things can be done by people in general but on a big project like your house the main reason why you may want to pay people to do it is simply because of time. What takes ya'll 5 hours may take a skilled individual 1 or 2. But good lucc with your home

As a carpenter that’s worked a bunch with skirting I’m very satisfied with how you seamed two pieces together, great work Bob!

[@sgtmitchell]

I agree. Josh you are awesome. Nice job man. You've given me a lot of great ideas for my house.

[@AlyKatKitty]

Sweet! Bonus good daddy points for teaching her how to do it! She'll remember that forever ☺

You and your daughter remind me of my dad and I. I loved helping him on his jobs and now I'm pretty much prepared to do some minor renovations when I own my own home

A 23 minute video from ILTMS? Hell yeah.

[@uhhlightstar2692]

Lewis Bulled i think we got a iltms and chill!!

[@motzemog]

Such a slick video. The long format for this project was superb. The production and editing of this caliber belongs on TV somewhere!

[@Rickyquirit]

Love the bouldering wall behind you!

[@erendalolerz]

Where did you learn all of this? Did you go to college for this because this keeps peeking my interest and I really want to learn how to do all of this.

[@tyler4068]

I learned it in 8th grade. If you’re still in school look for applied technology classes

[@joelortizjimenez4510]

Look into job Corp program, carpentry trade can teach you so much and opportunities afterwards for the United brother hood and carpentry joiners of America. Free education

[@johnconklin9039]

I think you'd better start a channel for your daughter, she's a natural! 'I like to make stuff, too' ; )

[@vinehandle3407]

John Conklin DUDE or lady. That's actually a really good idea.

[@doubledarefan]

The other kids will wanna join in. ILTMS 3. ILTMS 4. ILTMS 5. And the wife. ILTBS. (I Like To Bake Stuff)

[@heatherstock4491]

That would be awesome! A channel focused on the projects that help kids grow their making skills and get practice with new tools! All the kids could get in on it. I need this!!

[@portland4660]

Your vidoes on home renovations are awesome i love it and at 2:33 the reaction was my favorite. Please keep up and bless you....😶

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thank you!!

[@JamesGettingFit]

I’m envious of the workshop

[@leifprice8836]

The transformation from attic to playroom/attic was great. A great add-on to the house for future selling or what not.

[@howaboutno2666]

When you said "Alexa, turn on the exhaust." my Amazon echo responded.
