House Hacking A Home For My Daughter Since Housing Is SOOO EXPENSIVE! Part 7

- Part seven in a series documenting the transformation of an existing storage space into an apartment for my daughter. In this video, I build shelving in both closets, hang the second closet door, and build and install a door jamb.
I’m hoping I can help my kids this way but I’m retiring and want to let them have the main house and me have a casita.
That’s a great idea, I think we’re all having to get creative. Thanks for watching and commenting!
She's one lucky daughter. It's up to us to help our adult children get started. We helped both of ours buy their houses ($) and we pay daycare for all grands. We often clean, mow, do laundry for them as well. Busy families with children need help. We're honored that they allow us to do so.
There's going to be a lot more families living under the same roof soon.
Great job.
many families in my neighborhood already do
I agree
Watching your progress is a tv show in itself.
Please post updates more often. 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks! I’m really enjoying sharing the progress.
I think you should do the shiplap right over the flat panel door to make it blend in. Loving this channel! Thank you for sharing.
I think you did a fantastic job on the shelves. You know, a girl can never have enough closet space, lol!
If you had power in that big storage closet you could put a rechargeable vacuum in there.😊
That’s a great idea👍
Your dust dispersal system is simple and effective. You can never have enough storage and I think your daughter will have a place for everything. It's all coming together nicely.
It’s really a pleasure watching you work. This little apartment is going to be a real jewel.
Another great video on the labor of love project! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏
Com'n along beautifully. Lucky daughter!
Thanks!
Looking good my friend! I'm really enjoying watching these videos, the progress is inspiring.
So I got to say a few things.
1. You have the most calming voice. I love your videos and watching you work.
2. You are such a dad. I love all the jokes you make. So funny.
3. I wish I knew just half of what you know about building. You are so knowledgeable.
Keep up the great videos. Watching from Australia.
Your daughter is very lucky! The space looks like it will be fabulous when completed.
Yeah, I snickered when you bopped your noggin. At least the cute lil hunk kept coming in to check on you. He is an excellent supervisor. I think I will buy him a mini cattleprod to use for those days when you're slackin & I will pay the cat to film the shocking event. Ahhhhh, I feel better now. 😁😹🤣✌️🐾🐾🇱🇷
I can’t believe you got a chuckle out of my noggin bump.😂 He is a good supervisor, but I don’t like the idea of the cattleprod, cause I have a lot of days when I’m slacking. I agree though, it would make for some great footage. 😂👍🇺🇸
@@Madebymick NO pain, no gain... You gained pain & I gained a series of laughs (followed by the cursory "duh"). 😁✌️
I just found your channel this evening. You did an impressive transformation of this 60’s house.
Missed you. Hope all is well. Keep the videos coming. I love watching you work, a really good carpenter/ builder. The best ones are in the south and midwest.
Thanks, and all is well. I always get crazy busy in the summer time. I’ll keep the videos coming, thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
The tiny closet is the perfect candidate for a roll out shelf unit.
Place is really looking great. Love the idea of families living under one roof but each having their own spaces. Really well done!!
Great job you are doing. On that cupboard, where you hit your head, I would suggest that you may want to make it a concealed/hidden door by putting a mirror or picture to hide it. 🤔🤷
Hi Mick! Painting already!? Wow, you are moving along fast! I think the walk-in pantry/utility closet is awesome. 👍👍 Even with the step-up, it has way more storage than I have. Plus the linen (?) closet will be so handy. You can’t go wrong with extra storage. This will help her not need extra furniture! Take care and God bless! 😊
I am loving this. Thanks for sharing your daughter's new home.
I think I'd have painted inside the closets and installed the flooring before adding shelves.
Depends on if you are rolling or spraying. If you are using a sprayer for the paint, installing the shelves beforehand works fine.
@@TinaP1234I agree about the shelves, but the corner brace post is nailed in place, which means the flooring will have to be cut to fit around it. would have been easier to lay the flooring first.
Nice work! It's enjoyable watching you work. I love your top skill...😊
Just your channel, I’m subscribing! Caulk and paint makes a carpenter what he ain’t 😊
I think you do a great job, your daughter should be well pleased. The only thing I thought of with the tiny closet, is perhaps if you had made roll out shelving as it is so slim. Roll out shelving would make it much easier to use all the space. Just a thought.

Cool house I love the mid mod houses. Some neat features in this one. Good job!
Love watching this series. Question for you, why is the floor of the closet so high? I take it it is aligned with the finish floor of the main house, but was there a reason you didn't bring it down to the floor level of the new space? Also, did you consider removing a few inches of the floor right at the door frame so a full-sized door could be installed? I'm looking forward to seeing how you finish this project for your daughter! What a great dad you are!
My guess is that the foundation wall to the main house was in the way. But I am commenting so that I can see what his answer is. 😀
This has been a most enjoyable series. Hello from South America.
Hello 👋 and thank you so much!
Shelves look great but that hit on the noggin would of hurt...bennie likes the new doorway he kept going in and out...😊
Caulking a a couple coats of paint these clothes will be clean and use full storage. Hitting your head never feels good for ,hazard of being taller and worjing on a job site. The finnaly finish will be amazing. Maybe some day you will live her and give your daughter the main house.
Love it! I was shocked you used mdf or particle for the shelving. Not good! Warpy warpy!
It’s going to be awesome with more storage than most houses. Ha ha
You make it look so easy. Hope your head is OK.
Thanks for sharing
I really appreciate and enjoy your content.
Looks great.
Looks great!
I've been watching for the next episode and was excited when this video popped up in my feed just now.🎉
Just had to go back and watch all of. your videos on your remodel. Great job!
Looking real good!
Thank you!
Great job!
Im excited to see how this turns out!
It’s really coming together nicely, I’m excited to get the videos out and show everyone. 👍
wondering if a few of the shelves could had hingers to fold them down in case the shelf was not needed or more height was needed. Small spaces need more tweaking. Enjoy your videos. Never realized how much goes into building.
I sure hope your daughter helped/assisted you in this build.
Great videos. Is the brick fireplace useable?
Nice
Thanks
OUCH!!!
I guess that’s what hard hats are for. 😁
😊
Are you still working on the log cabin?
You still have SNOW!!!
✨🏆✨
This video would be even better if you had hearing protection and eye protection. Norm Abram would be disappointed

@@Madebymick proud of you!
Those shelves in the bigger closet don't look that strong, I'd of put them full width
I think it’s supposed to be a walk-in pantry. Full shelves would block the walk-in space.
I wonder if your daughter were to marry and start a family if you and her would ever consider trading places in the house?
Why? That is a family matter, why would you ask that? If he as a parent wants to do that at that time he can do that, why would you make him put it out there now before he even knows the charter of the man she will marry. I am sure many factors would be at play like rent and not just letting another man come in and take over what he has worked for.
We’ve actually joked about that, it’s a real possibility.
Put shiplap over the flat door and relocate the door pull. Also that last hand gesture. What that an OK! or a white supremacy sign?
