Hi, guys. We’re upgrading the bathroom. They’re wanting to put paneling in. As opposed to this texture over the three-eighths drywall. It’s not half inch. Three eighths. We’re going to pull the batten strips off, pull the trim off. And pull these cabinets down, cut them down to size that will make it look real clean. And we’ll take you as we go through it. Here we go. Going to pull the trim off.
And we’re back. We’ve got the shell down. They had some strip screws we had to take and put a screwdriver on, and a small prybar, as it was spinning back and out until it catch. And even then, one or two of them didn’t come out. But the next thing is to drive down all the nails.
So how do you see that? Sometimes it’s pretty hard. So what I usually do is I run a hammer to find them. In this case they’re not there because somebody else already pulled them out when they pull the trim out. Then we, the guy holding the camera. But you might not even see it.
You feel it if you run a hammer over it. Then you get all those. And then I’ve decided that, I want to start over here because when I put this piece in and then this piece in, these pieces will hold them in place and then I’ll go that direction if we’re short, which I don’t think will be on material, will be in the open area and be easy to come back and fix.
He’s the one that bought the materials, so I don’t know for sure if it looks like we have pleanty. But as we go along, we can put the shelves back which we’ve marked to the center of them what they should be. And then I’m going to mark just a little mark on the ceiling, which I can cover up with white paint where the studs are, and I’ve run 2 bys or not two bys, a level and mark the walls to try to determine where the… Of course all that is gonig to be covered up.
And I’m going to pull this cover off, that cover off and we’ll pull the switch out. And we’re literally allow that switch to sit on top of the material and then have to turn the switch sideways and through and then back over and screw it down. And then I’ll recommend to get a new cover. And if I was able to get a different light, that’s the mirror was like an extension cord between one another, I guess.
so they could have two. But you could probably just put a vanity light right over the top of something. That’s what we’re doing. We’re going to measure the width which is 43 and a half, 43 and 5/8. And then that hight, which is 84 and a eighth. Gives me a little bit of room. So that’s where I’m headed now.
We have a third guy to have you see us put this in. Usually I want to start a little shorter end anyway and work my way up. Gives you allows you to get the piece in that is smaller. So the big in first, then it ends up being difficult to get it.
But you still do it. You have to keep up with where your, your top is and where your bottom is. And then we cheated and use a pry bar to lift up a little bit. It’s not much. I would rather have the gap on the on the bottom and then on the top. This is a battery powered nail gun made by a ryobi or and probably going to have a butterfly in places.
That is to say you shoot sideways this direction, and shoot sideways that way? That way it’ll stay in. And not, if you go straight in, it’ll pull off. We’re going to try to find those little tiny one bys sometimes, and most of the time it’s less than an inch around. Right around an inch and a quarter thick. So it’s quite a challenge. So butterfly ends up being a way to deal with it when you can’t find the stud, or there isn’t one. I’m kind of missing my tessla angle finisher because it want, let me get into corners better, but this works. We’ll have to go over and hammer it down.
Hey, we’ve changed all the look at the end of it. Instead of using a saw I ended up cutting with a razor knife. So you might keep that in mind. You can cut with the razor. It’s getting better and better as it gets brighter colored things on it. I think it there’s a little more brighter white things in here it’d look really neat. So this is what you can do with even a barn wood look, paneling.
