Thank you for the positive feedback using rough timber is fine once you can find some straight ones the planned 2x4 are normally a lot straight

Thank you so much for your positive feedback When joining two pieces of MDF, you should have a timber behind and use plenty of screws to stop any movement between the two pieces of MDF if you use an epoxy wood filler and then sand after the joint will be seamless For the drawers, I used a heavy duty ball bearing drawer runner you can get them on Amazon and I built the drawers from more MDF Hope this helps any more questions. You can send them my way. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

Hi I couldn’t agree with you more their A bigger TV would’ve looked a lot better. I told the client if I make the wall to suit a 55 inch, they could never get a bigger one they insisted they would never want to get a bigger TV🤷🏻

@@DDconstruction1 Fair enough, at the end of the day it's the clients choice, But great work! looks nice

@@svgmateYT thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it. 👍

Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it.So in front of the media wall, there is a large 5m window and the gap was left for a curtain to slide down the side of the wall. I tried my best to explain to the client that a media wall should be a full wall, but in the end that's what they wanted

I cleaned it out until I reached the bottom and checked it with a level there wasn’t much of a fall . I’ve never heard of a cooling drain before

@@DDconstruction1 It is an old-school American trick. You run open pipes underground and the coolness of the earth is transferred to the pipes which using convection transfer the cooled air into a house. When we built our off grid house in the desert we installed a pipe thru the hillside that allowed cool underground air to enter the house. The hot air in the house goes up to the ceiling out the vent pipe and the air pressure equalizing pulls in the cooler air. I have no a/c or heat. The house stays 65 year round. It is mostly underground but the front part is a glassed in greenhouse. This heats the house in the winter. Water pressure comes from a large tank and a solar pump. I have zero utility bills.

That is very interesting extremely clever solution and cost-effective . We’ve never needed to keep our houses cooler here it’s all about trying to stay warm as possible. Your house sounds amazing. I love the idea of Living off grid. Where are you in America?

@@DDconstruction1 I am referring to one of my houses that is in the southwest corner of Texas. I wanted to build an earth ship style house after seeing one on TV. It is built into the edge of a hillside where much if it is underground. I built the walls with old tires stacked and then cobbed to form adobe walls. The front edge is a series of recycled windows that form a greenhouse which warms the place via sunlight in winter. The place being mostly underground stays pretty evenly cool year round. The pipes just use the temp of the ground to maintain cool moving air. The natural convection from HOT rising and COOL sinking creates a current that does a great job maintaining temps. There is no mechanical noise except when the toilet is flushed. This ejecta is used to build a bio mass that is combined with a fish tank and plants in the tank that absorb the 'pollution in the water and the plants in the tank draw their nutrients from the pooping fish and the cleaner water goes into the garden beds which flourish on the improved water. The final flow from the beds goes out to a giant drywell which is filled with charcoal from fires which helps filter the water as it goes back into the ground.

I cleaned it out until I reached the bottom I put a level in it and there wasn’t much of a fall

Haha there is a long story to go with that . Basically before starting, I told the client I need size of the TV size of the Fire and the size of the slot for the soundbar. I learned a valuable lesson never trust somebody with a measuring tape who doesn’t work in the trade. He gave me the wrong size for the TV and sound bar but somehow it worked out that the sound bar fit under the TV and the slot is used for the remote controls Hopefully that answers your concerns haha 👍

This media wall was a lot of work to do in MDF it was 5k

@@DDconstruction1 looks great

So in front of the media wall, there is a large 5m window and the gap was left for a curtain to slide down the side of the wall. I also thought it should go all the way across, but the client got their way

Haha it was a joke on my apprentice when he asked where his hammer was reached into the wet concrete . His face was priceless. 🤣🤣👍

Thanks for the positive feedback I appreciate it 👍

Thanks I appreciate the positive feedback 👍

Hi yes I built the shelves from the same material if you look on my channel, there is a separate video showing how the shelves were made . The video is floating shelf with a secret .

Hi so I got an electrician to do the LEDs. The power is behind the TV for them

@DDconstruction1 new there would be a reason and a good idea to hide away the curtain lovely work m8

Hi thanks appreciate that yes A lot of work went into it. I’m in Ireland 🇮🇪 Where are you from ?

@@DDconstruction1 ahh that’s a shame. I’m in West Sussex England. Great work though. 👍🏻

Thanks for the positive feedback 👍

Thanks for the positive feedback

On this job there was an interior designer who did the blueprints . Generally, my clients will show me a photograph normally from Pinterest and I’ll match the design

Hi I got a painter to finish it and he did use wood filler . It is a lot of work to do it in MDF. I did because they want to drawers. But if you were doing it without the drawers you can build in 2 x 3 and use drywall and plaster finish

Love this. Creating something similar. To hide the seams, would you recommend a drywall compound over wood filler? ​@@DDconstruction1

@@kmets hi I built it out of MDF because the client wanted the drawers It is a lot of extra work . Yes, you’re right. Building it from 2 x 3 and drywall is faster easier and cheaper and you get a very similar looking media wall 👍

No, it was primed and painted with a roller . Thanks for the positive feedback 👍

🤣 it’s still in one piece 👍

Hey it’s made from MDF

Is it 3/4 inch?

@@danielhuang353 yes it is are you planning on building one?

@@danielhuang353 yes that’s right 👍

Thanks, appreciated it 👍

Yes the grass is doing quite well . It Will need to be cut soon ✂️

Maybe someday I’ll go to USA . Thanks for that positive feedback. 👍

@@DDconstruction1 looks good regardless!

👍

Thank you, I appreciate it 👍

Ohhh good spot yes that was for the sound bar. the client was told to provide the size of the sound bar before the unit was built it turns out he doesn’t know how to use a measuring tape 😬

Yes that is correct I recessed the LED so there is no glare from the lights when you’re watching the TV

@@DDconstruction1 thanks buddy

👍

Thanks for the positive feedback appreciate it 👍

Thanks. No I have not tried Any of your LED tracks . I have a project coming up to fit oak floating shelves with LED recessed lights What product would you recommend?

Thanks for the positivity, I appreciate it 👍

Hi I used LED strip lights in a diffused track . Hope that helps you . I’m working on a video showing how the LED lights were fitted 👍

Behind the TV there is access panels for the led shelves . I will have to show the electrical for the next media unit . Thanks for the positive feedback 👍

Yes I did thanks for the positive feedback. 👍

Thanks for the positive feedback . It is solution fires LUX 175 Electric Fire $$

Thanks for subscribing 👍 I tried to minimise the amount of joints in the MDF but where sheets connect I used wood filler and sanding . Hope that helps.

Thanks for the positive feedback 👍

Yes I imagine when the door was first fitted, it was all working fine but with a Pine wood door & frame can twist expand over time . yes I agree you should wedge under the door If you have a big gap in this case, the door almost touches the tile went open.

Yes Not the intended purpose for a red wall plug however if that’s all you have it does work 👍

Are you planning it build it yourself? It was 300 for just the materials excluding the fire and TV .

Thanks for the positive feedback . Yes you’re 100% right I will definitely take that advice . Appreciate it 👍

Ah glad it was of help to you . Are you going to build one yourself?

Gracias 👍

Ah yes the shelves are part of a full media unit so the electrician had the cables ready to be pulled out on the left side to connect to the LED strip light

Thanks 👍 I’m working on the video of the full media wall hopefully I’ll finish this week

Well, it’s new to me and it’s dewalt s latest model does that count 🤷🏻

It did get a lot of use, but I kept having that problem with all my Milwaukee tools so I had to change over to dewalt

@@DDconstruction1 oh I see... the gen 4 working for me without that issue

@@travissmikle2507 I’m sure they’ve improved a lot by generation 4 👍
