Thank you I’m so impressed with the door archway, I’ve been walking around for about the last two years trying to figure out how I myself was going to do that, so yeah thanks great job
Nicely done! You are like me, I don't overthink it and just go ahead and do it. If it doesn't come out the 1st time, I try again. I rebuilt a 1924 house by myself (of course friends helped). I picked it up really cheap with a couple acres of land, gutted it and rebuilt it all the way I wanted it. I lived 20 happy years there and remodeled as I lived there over the years, super cheap to do it yourself. Then I sold it for a very hefty profit.
Fantastic job. I want to transform a general squared doorway into an arch and started looking for best way to do it and your tuition ticked all the boxes for me and now I’m raring to go. Thank you.
Was thinking about changing a square door into an arched door, and came to this video. You are very skilled! Me, I would hire someone to do this! glad to know the 'how to's' and you did a lovely job. I'm all about the Spanish look; I live in AZ and love love love the whole southwest-y vibe, and arched doorways are a favorite. Thank you!!
I have a giant open doorway between my kitchen and living room and I want to have an arched pocket door instead, this was so helpful. Thank you for the straight forward info!!
Excellent! I took down a door between my living room and hallway and I’m planning on putting an arch in that space. I have an arch over the bar by the kitchen so having the second arch would tie it together. Thanks for the great tips and inspiration! Great video! And I love your puppy too ;).
@@MovieMakingMan thank you so much. Hope you have a great weekend too. I think I’ll make a shirt on it. But I did forget to record a lot of it unfortunately
What a great video. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for getting right to the point instead of beating around the bush like every other video. OMG!! Also, it was awesome that you added you falling in here. hahaha. I'm glad you weren't hurt. The best people in the world are the ones that can laugh at themselves. I was ill and aggravated trying to find a video on building an arch and after 100 videos of "BLAH BLAH BLAH" I found this. Not only did I find exactly what I needed, but it changed my mood. Thanks Again
Great job but after seeing this I'm going to hire a handyman let him do one arch so my huband and I can watch then we'll do the rest.....HOPEFULLY... (: So actually I watched vid again and now it's sinkin in my brain yayy.I'll watch couple more times then attempt.Thank you!
@@sirinesweiss5698 yes you can. You just should bring the arch down like I did. The header is the wood going at across the top of the doorway. Especially if it is wide like yours, it is supporting the studs above and potentially the second story and/or roof. You can google search doorway header to see what I talking about if that didn’t make sense. But I did not mess with the header at all in this video. So if you follow how I did it then you are good. You can also dm me on instagram if you have any questions and I can send photos to more clearly explain what I am talking aboit
Hello, great job. I've seen where they wet the back of the sheetrock to soften it then put it against the wall & screw it in. I'm not sure if along the way, some years from now, will your frame eventually show cracks.
Great video! I noticed you removed a wall heater unit. We have one of those that we would like to get rid of and upgrade - can you share some info on what you did to remove/replace that!?
Okay, kind of a crazy question but my hallway is a MAJOR focal point of my apartment… do you think this would be renter friendly in the sense that I can probably remove it before moving out? I’ll have to repaint before I leave anyway…
I guess I won’t title it renter friendly but it’s definitely possible. I have seen people do it with styrofoam that would definitely be more temporary. It would definitely need paint touch ups once you leave and maybe even some drywall and mud work depending on how you set it up. But if you want to you definitely should. As long as you want to do the work to do or pay someone to do it
@@ShannonElizabethDesign I did not think about styrofoam!!! I’ll definitely look into that… I don’t mind mudding and repainting before I leave! Thanks for the suggestion!
There's in concurrencies from an aesthetic perspective ... In the creating of an archway in this structure. it's like putting antlers on a rabbit and making it into a jackalope
My reciprocating saw is my favorite tool of all time because it’s so useful but the oscillating tool is a very close second. You’re right about it being great for cutting. All the best!
How many days does it take you to do this? I know you applied extra layers too so if you only did 2 layers, could this project be complete in 2 days? Tight space with a move and I'd like to add arches before painters come in!
I think this is everything: - plywood (1/2” or 3/4”) - a 2x4 ( or any scrap wood to cut into small blocks) - drywall -drywall screws - Paper corner bead - joint compound - primer -pain
