    This was so inspiring to watch! My husband works from home, games at night, and occasionally watches football, all while being a super involved husband and dad. Maybe I can surprise him with a makeover like this!

    I found the trick with the router is to cut in stages. I made the mistake of trying to cut the full depth in all at once and found that the battery powered trim router just couldn’t cope. So I started in stages routing a little at a time. Each time making the cut deeper until finally I got through to the final depth desired.

    • @cloudyhills
      @cloudyhills  15 дней назад +1

      thank you! I had to cut 30mm in total so I did 10mm each time, but I think that was still way too much 😵‍💫 Have to be more patient next time

    such a sweet idea with the magnetic doors for pat's magnets display!!! love the colour for the eket but i might be biased since i literally painted my hallway in a very similar if not the same tone lol
    the shelves are gonna be like a little sun above pat's head 🌞(too bad we didn't get to see his reaction ;c)
    i liked the format of this video a lot! it's nice to see you talk, makes it a bit more connecting/engaging in a way :)
