Foam to Faux Ceiling Beams: DIY
Exposed ceiling beams, a living room's way of showing a little skin. I'll show you how I made these out of different material than wood, that was cheaper and easier to install.

Ultimate DIY Car ‘Tree’
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 9 měsíci
When was the last time you saw someone's cat tree and thought "wow, what a nice piece of furniture". In this video I try to change that by building a cat tree/tower (potato/potatoe) out of one large driftwood piece. I made some mistakes along the way and discovered what electric scissors were.

EASY DIY Accent Wall [Faux Boxwoods]
zhlédnutí 708Před rokem
Checkout how I transform a wall in our nursery from plain-jane to trendy plant accent wall with just a couple hours and a staple gun. To accomplish this I’ll use faux boxwood panels off marketplace and Amazon. This is a pretty easy project and relatively affordable project as far as accent walls go, I'd recommend it Affiliate Links: Boxwood Panel Option A - amzn.to/3OBEWj2 Boxwood Panel Option ...
No Experience Rust Fix
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed rokem
In this video I'll fix a rust spot on my old Audi S4 using a kit from 3M and paint from TouchUpDirect. There are definitely some things I could've done better, or will do different next time, but overall it turned out pretty good for having zero bodywork experience. Lesson learned- don’t be afraid to go out and try something new! Affiliate Links: Rust spot kit: amzn.to/43yacU3
Cheap Back Steps Improvement
zhlédnutí 908Před rokem
In this video I'll redo our old worn-out backyard steps that lead down to our patio by changing out the wood treads for composite boards, and the wood balusters for flat aluminum ones. I'll also fill in some of the cracks where the wood is deteriorating with Bondo wood filler.

DIY Kitchen Fluorescent Light Box Makeover
zhlédnutí 19KPřed rokem
Many older (and in our case not so old) homes have fluorescent light fixtures in the kitchen that just don't look good. In this video I'll take one of those drop box lights and change it into a more modern light fixture above an accent area in the ceiling, of course on a budget.

awesome job
Awesome!!
Is there any spray or maybe Mod Podge that you would recommend in order to seal it?
Sorry, I think that’s stupid. Great idea if you’re building the set for a play. Time is valuable. How much time did you waste trying to make “not wood” look like real wood? Experimentation with adhesives? You could have used nails with wood. This is just goofy. I’m sure it probably looks cool in the end, but come on. I made it to the end. “Good from far, but far from good.”
Sorry I subscribed on Thursday, only did cause this video was pretty pretty pretty good. By the way I’m super strong so don’t have to use foam, I can use real wood. Only going to use foam cause it looks cooler.
I love it! Great Job!
you didn't have to sand?
I didn’t but that may help with a high grit
I was about to subscribe until you said you don't even like the cat
Fair enough 😄
I'll build a pink house.with this technique and Sell it for $400k. 😁
I will definitely try to do it! Thanks!
This is a badass tutorial
Excellent pretty pretty good!😂 I subbed cause it’s a Tuesday
If you don’t like the part where you scraped the stain, you may be able to wrap some thick twine at the base. It may help the cat climb up and an easier place to scratch too :) and it’s relatively quick and easy to do! ☺️👍
My hero! Thank you
Not all heroes wear capes
Can you please come and help me and my kitties?! 😂😂😂
Way cool. Well done!
I love how these turned out. I know it’s Sunday, but I subscribed anyway…
Thanks for making the exception Mary, excited about two new videos coming out in the next two months
WOW.. impressive!!
Thanks Wanda!
I make furniture prototypes/models with this pink insulation. 😊
Do you take out bricks on the second row?
Do you take out bricks on the second row?
I'd love to see a build using safe and non-toxic materials. Thanks!
He said he doesn't even like the cat. He's doing this for aesthetic reasons.
Dang!!🎉
Hello! The glue itself won’t eat the foam. However, the aerosol can accelerants are what eat the foam. Try holding it farther away from the foam!
Good to know!
This is extremely impressive 👍🏻 Thank you for this how to video, I've wanted to add ceiling beams to my 1917 barn house for years but didn't want to add the extra weight to my ceilings . This is a great idea !!! 🥰
Thanks!
Very clever on your part. Great job. I was thinking of attaching the pink foam boards to an aluminum roof to dampen the sound when it rains. Do you think it would hold? If yes what type of glue would you recommend that I use.
No idea but if you try it I’d use construction adhesive or something similar to liquid nails. Just know it may not be to code if not covered by something else
What if I don’t have a cat to complete the repair? 🤔😆
Cat recommended but not required 😆
Thanks
We used similar steps to create a faux fireplace. So good, it fooled the building appraiser. Lol We use our maniacal skills for Halloween props. Thanks for the tutorial!
That's illegal dude. If the house is now listed as having a fireplace. Not cool man
@@usa5439 of course we told him. I was just sharing that he was fooled by it. I shared a lot of our other Halloween items with him.
Everyone making fun of this but this is exactly what I need. I have a small blemish on my wood and don’t want to replace the whole thing
Glad it was helpful, good luck!
While I can appreciate the process and ingenuity, I have to say, the fact that you're doing this and planning to pass them off as "real wood beams" to trick buyers is not cool. I'm just not a fan of dishonest people.
Ryan, neither am I, please don’t take everything you read/hear on the internet as fact. Sometimes people with a dry sense of humor will tell bad jokes in videos. The point of the project was to improve the aesthetic of our livingroom and challenge myself, not actual deceive the future owners of our house. Enjoy your bbq
I’m doing this. It’s insane, but I’m going to do it.
You’re insane. Good luck!
Cute til it’s time to clean it
Touché
And you saved $2 And did twice the work as wood. And it’s foam board
protip, you can use a dremel with a very small bit on it to recreate the perforation holes
Огромное спасибо за ваш мастер класс
Nicely done. How did the repairs hold up?
or... ooorrr you can just use wood to save time and money.
Time? Likely Money? Doubtful
That turned out really good!
Thanks Scott!
Sir what is the tube name 😶
See the description
Brilliantly done! Hoora🎉
Heard and read that objects made out of foam are highly flammable. Just saying...
Genius
Wow! These turned out AMAZING!! Great work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
l am going to do this but skip the paint and use 3m woodgrain wrap
Let me know how that looks!
wow nice job!!! I ever watch an entire video like this but had to watch to the end!
Thanks Carrie! Glad it was interesting
The Pink Panther and Chipotle Burritos, are a lethal combination. Great work mate!
Pretty crafty I must say.
add the time it took. Time is money. /still a great idea.
You can actually order online faux foam beams for this type of installation....but I like your creativity....looks fabulous
The faux beams you can buy are up to $800! I’d say this was really good value. And quite good results.
