if you've read this far, comment there's a fool here - Zábava
It’s been 2 weeks so let me clear my throat for this...
There’s a fool here!
I’m genuinely impressed.
We all are
Oh hey kyle
Just popping into say that all measuring tapes are loose at the end for when you're measuring the outside of something (hooking the metal onto a surface) or the inside (pushing the metal against a surface) :)
right!! it gives you a true zero, the wiggle room is the width of the piece of metal on the end so that when you're measuring from the inside it accounts for the space that tip takes up.
You can also just start measuring from 1" mark and then subtract 1" from your total measurement. Then it's perfectly exact. That's what I've been taught so passing along! :)
thank you!
Megan all tapes are loose at the end to adjust for the zero measurement when u use it on the inner and outer diameters of stuff
Everybody: quarantine
Megan: starting an hgtv show from home
I’m obsessed, and the animation? 👌🏼
It's like you KNEW that I just sat down with my tea ready to do these nails
Megan is just living the life I want. To just keep redecorating my house and getting paid to do so. Like getting the funds to keep redo-ing my space over and over again
YES, SHOW US THE SAVINGS! SHOW US THE BEAUTY! SHOW US THE HARD WORK! MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE CAN DO IT TOO! 🥺💘
Fun Fact: the reason for the end of the measuring tape being loose is to accommodate for the thickness of that end piece. That way when you pull/push the tip against the material you're measuring, it will already be accommodated for and the markings of the tape should be exact.
Jeez the "feel like in a movie but im the wife that died" was a tad bit too accurate lol
The rendering is so cool!!!
I think we all know that the patio behind the door is next and I couldn’t be more excited🤭
I'm 100% certain that if I ever had the pleasure of accidently running into that door, I would thank it. That's how you know you've done a good job.
The dead wife flash back got me, it got me good
I like how the french diy doors look as you come up the stairs cause they actually match your railing of your stairs. Good job Megan!
at the beginning of the video: the window looks great already, why is she starting a new project
by the end of the video: omg the window before looked awful
The second I see diy and Megan batoon i have to immediately click! Love it as alway
this is waaaaaaay better and so much more satisfying than any other DIY homemake overs- seeing the beginnng to end with the struggles in between. Perfect *chefs kiss*
Loving it when I see DIY on the title 🥰
I'm not even into interior design. Its just nice to see someone enjoying what they're doing
Can you link the pvc you used?
I believe it’s pvc trim.

I'm going to college for architecture and interior design, and i love watching your DIY interior design videos. It gives me a ton of inspiration
Your inability to stay put, inspires me to do more in my day to day. 😄
OK Megan, I’m so wanting to do this, you have me absolutely inspired. But please give us an update in a few months on how they hold up. I need to know how they will hold up to wear and tear. Because I feel like this is one of those projects where I do not want to be having to redo it every few months.
Not going to lie I need to repaint my sliding glass door because its ancient and brown.... and I might be doing this! It looks amazing!
"Why are they always laughing" I'm almost certain you're the most quotable CZcamsr of 2020. I request a CZcams rewind with just Megan quotes hahah
She’s only said one thing and it’s already a mood lol
Megan i just want to let you know that ive been watching your channel since 2015 till now(=while i was in college till now). You have been a source of inspiration for me, Love you 💜.
The economy: “please.... I’ll do anything!” Megan: “then PERISH!”
End of year report could wait you had me at Megan batoon diy , beautiful
06:20 to 06:25 made me literally laugh out loud 🤣 that needs to be a gif!
I recently learned from the guys at " This Old House" that the tape measure shift is actually intentional and accounts for the thickness of the metal tip. The metal tip is exactly 1/16 of an inch thick. The way it works is If you’re measuring the outside of a surface and hook the metal end on the edge, that metal piece will shift out and create a gap, so that you aren’t counting it in your measurement. If you need to measure the inside, like in a window frame, the metal piece will shift back to fill the gap and calculate the measurement correctly.
Can we talk about how Megan LITERALLY looks like a goddess from 8:51 - 8:55? She's sooo gorgeous and I definitely need that camera she's using.
Your French aesthetic lately is my ultimate vibe goals ♥️♥️♥️
You inspire me every time you do a home improvement project! Amazing!
This is exactly what I been looking for , I love u so much
i found your channel long ago when it was all dancing & vlog videos. Now it all home improvement and i aint even mad. Great work lol!
Nice idea for the French Door 🚪 ! 👏🥰😍🤍🤍
I don't know why I absolutely love how industrial and mid century looks love this project 😍
I almost never read Megan's video titles anymore. As long as I know it's Megan, I'm going to click it regardless what video it is or how long!
I love everything you do!! Tho I am concerned that the lines aren’t even horizontally!? It must be an illusion or the angle of the door right? You’d never let that happen!
I scrolled comments to see if anyone else noticed. Lol
And as always it turned out looking like something out of a magazine 😎
Any one else start their own Interior Design business because of Megan Batoon?
No?
Just me?
Kay, thank you Megan!!!
Your outfit in the beginning is giving me Jessie vibes from 90s Parent Trap 😜♥️ love it
I had all your notifications on and was so sad because I hadn’t gotten a notification in a while AND CZcams UNCHECKED MY NOTIFICATIONS! Good news is you just uploaded 8 hours ago and now I’m happy 🥳
so the measuring tape space do have a purpose. so when you pull in it it will give you the number X, and when you push it in to something it will give you the same number X. the reason why you can move it a tiny bit, is the thickness of the metal end. the metal is 0.X thick, so push to measure is X + 0.X and pulling measuring is X - 0.X. but both methods gives you the same length of X, since it is able to move 0.X that is the thickness. and ofcourse the empty space between the tape end and the metal end, is for the movement and is also included with the numbers you read on the tape.
I don’t think there’s a fool there!!! 😍😍👏🏽
Actually turned out sick!
Me, a French person: What even the heck is a French door? All doors are French in my house...
Loved the video! ❤
That little gap that moves on the measuring tape is actually there for a reason! I can't explain it very well so look up, "why do measuring tapes have gaps that move" it is really interesting!
Literally my heart skips a beat whenever Megan uploads a new video. Highlight of my day
Your personality is enough for me to sub. The content is just the icing.
they're beautiful!
That little wiggle at the start of the measuring tape is to be able to measure from the outside (pulling across something) or the inside (pushing the tape against a surface). That wiggle is equal to the thickness of the metal lip. The more you know!!!
This was fun. Im glad i came here. S'been a min. I always knew she'd make a great french mom. They glow up so fast.
I think this has to be my favourite Megan diy. hands down
i will say!! probably the best elevated DIY yet!
After watching this I looked at the windows in the house, and my mom went, don't even think about it!🙄
You have left even yourself behind with this project. STANDING OVATION
We haven't had a video for two weeks, but Megan has officially levelled up with the renders. Kudos.
If Megan ever moves out of that house, I'm gonna be offended. 😂
If she ever moves out, I’m moving in!
The tape measure moves depending if you butting it against some or if you are hooking it on something. It should move so it's more correct. It should move by the width of the prong.
The amount of anxiety that the glue on the window gave me..
Outstanding work Megan! Love how you have transformed the place... Brilliant, so stylish 👍
Here’s to more architecture 😄😄😄😄😄😄
The wobby tip of the tape measure is the thickness of the end. It slide in when measuring inside sides and out when measuring outside ends, like cutting a board.
I hope to see you on team edge again.
I like to see alot of funny stuff from you in team edge.
is there anything Megan cant do!?! obsessedddd
Excellent job, French Mom!
I’m in love with your character!!😭😂 you make me happy specially here 3:20 I laughed so hard 😭😭 your window amazing! Keep going 😂💓
I actually bought a old vintage wood interior door and painted it black and put barn door hardware on it and hung it up in in place of my master bath door and it I love it cause it also gives me French mom vibes!
I think they take the scoche into account with the width of the metal? Yeah "The metal tip at the end of your tape measure is a little bit loose for a reason. The first inch of the tape is short by 1/16 of an inch. This isn't and error: It's meant to provide you with the accurate readings whether you're measuring the inside or outside edge of a surface. This feature is known as the 'true zero' "
MEGAN!! THE TAPE MEASURE IS LIKE THAT TO PROVIDE ACCURATE "TRUE ZERO" READINGS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE MEASURING THE INSIDE DIMENSION OR OUTSIDE DIMENSION OF SOMETHING!! (It pushes in for inside dimensions, and pulls out for outside dimensions)
ur energy cures my depression
That turned out SO WELL. I love them!
Not sure if you will see this but that "wiggle" in tape measures is by design and is there to compensate for the hooks thickness. You push against things for inside distance and pull away for outside. It is also the reason you should always let it contract softly else the rivet gets loose and the compensated measurement *is* thrown off a "skoosh"
Yo! Those really look sick. Nice job!
The window came out so nicely. Its a freaking piece of art. I do not think you will need a curtain, it will take away from your masterpiece. Will you be adding the same feature to the two windows on either side of the TV? I think that will set it all the way off!!
If you’re REALLY on a budget, use electrical tape haha. I did that for my windows a while back in an apartment. It was super cute. You could see the edges up close. But it came right off when I moved out.
"Full Stop" great work
I have not seen a french window before. So now I know, thanks your window looks beautiful.
obsessed with this! im going to recreate it but with electrical tape, as i'm in rented 😇 thanks for the inspo
okay!!!!! joanna gaines!!! i LOVE to see it!
I would love love love!!’ Too see more Megan!! Her videos are so good
They're georgous and you are hilarious..Thank You.
fyi the measuring tape wiggles to give you a true zero, the wiggle room is the width of the piece of metal on the end so that when you're measuring from the inside it accounts for the space that tip takes up
The metal at the end of the tape measure moves to allow you to measure accurately from both the inside and outside of things. You need to push against the surface for measuring inside and pull it against the surface when measuring from outside. It moves the thickness of the piece of metal.
The gap on the measuring tape is on purpose! Because you use the end either pulling against something or pushing up against something. The metal part is like one mm thick and pulls away one mm so when pushed up against/pulled away from the measurement balances out
We LOVE interior designer Megan Batoon
You are so talented!!!😍😍🥰🥰
Like always I love your energy and I love the makeovers you do.
Another flawless job Megan 👷🏻♀️
It’d be awesome if that whole wall was extended to be one big French door 😍
MY GOOODNESS I AM LATE ON THIS BUT WOOOOOOOW. YOU ALWAYS INSPIRE MEE 🙏🏼
Genius🤌🏼🤌🏼
Those renderings look so cool! Please do more!!! 😍
Each time I’m just more and more impressed 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Looks amazing!
One word. OBSESSED!!!
That was actually pretty insightful and entertaining...
What did you use for the cross piece? Cause I thought I heard PVC pipe but that’s not a pipe so maybe I just heard wrong idk 😂 it looks so good tho 🖤
Wow the screen door turned out so good!! Great job! 😊
