 Shh, we're building a secret room and it's in this cabin. A lot of you probably don't even know that we have an upstairs. Basically a two story home. Over the last three years, we've been living in this tiny cabin in the woods. We have two bedrooms. We are building a third and it's all the way up in the attic. Step one, clean the attic. Our favorite thing. Drywall! Look, everyone in the sun. This dark purple grungy attic. It ain't gonna be grungy at the end of this video. Just wait. More? Um, we wanted to hold on there too, right? Is that like straight? Cause I think that is going out of it. That's pretty good. Actually, you know what? I have to just say drywall ain't that bad. That is when you're doing the ceiling. Hey! Thank you to everyone that said bless you. Oh spray foam, you are the best and the worst. All at the same time. You never get rid of it. The spray foam that is in the way is now gone. The second sheet is going to go up with ease. It's been a while since we did drywall and we just remembered when you hang drywall, put your factory edges together. They are slightly turned in and that's what gives you the illusion that there is no seam. And then it makes mudding and taping 10 times easier. Ready for me? Why'd you buy all those screws? The sides are done. It already looks so much brighter. Now it's time to finish off the back triangle and we're even going to make a sneaky little secret door. We need three pieces of strapping at 10, 26 and 40. While Crystal's cutting the triangle, I'm going to be cutting the strapping that's going to go on the back triangle. That way we can put our second last sheet of drywall and it will meet nicely and have something to grab on to. Perfect, look at that. Sweet. Guys, now I need to do the secret door. Checking in the me and boys dressed to be a professional mudder and taper. Look at it. I think I figured out the secret to liking the entire process of drywalling. Just do one room at a time. Don't try to drywall your whole house in a couple of days and you'll like it forever. Did you have fun? I did, but I can't wait to shower. You didn't think we'd paint that drywall, did you? Michael, if you watch our channel, you will know all about this product. It's on our roof, it's our backsplash, all over our floors. Shit, worse than I thought. And I even, I hate it. We love microsmint. It gives a nice textured look. I also just don't like painting. I'd much rather do this. It just, I don't know how to describe it. It's unreal. I love it. So, I've got to mix it up. I've got to become scientist. Add the color. I'm at the point, I just eyeball it now. I'm going to start by saying Jasmine's a pro microsmenter. I am not. I'm going to help her today. So, this is no race. Stay tuned. Time to microsmint. Crystal, are you ready to- I'm having the best time. Are you? Yeah. It's actually super fun. I think I'm okay. You're doing really good. I mean, yeah. You're definitely crushing, but I'm getting lucky. All right. This should be the last bucket. Oh, we just have this little bit to do. Fabulous. Fabulous. Probably should have used a drop sheet. I clearly have not learned my lesson from the first time doing this ceiling. At least the flooring isn't down now. That is a plus. Completed. She's done. How did I not learn my lesson? Sports. We're going with purple floors. Kidding. This is floor underlayment to make laying the floor 10 times easier. As you could tell, there was spray foam, microsmint, and a lot of other things on our floor. So now it's a nice, smooth surface for Crystal to be our floor layer. Hey, how'd you find that? That's a secret door. We need a handle. I don't like handles. Well, my friends, moving on to the floor and this is spare waterproof laminate flooring from our cabin build. We have probably just enough box to fill this area and that would be absolutely amazing. Screws are in place for markers so it doesn't shift and fall down here. We're all looking for some time. Y'all done up there? Wow, you crushed that girl. I love it. It's pretty cool up here. It's beyond cool. It's only going to get cooler. I actually love it. I love having another space. It's so cool to look down at the house too. Hi Izzy. It's so cool. I love it. I'm definitely going to come up here and read books. Time to try out my new Sander. See y'all tomorrow. Anyone else love the color, bro? Morning, big girl. Start your morning right. Words to live by. You sleeping in? Morning. Good morning from us, my bedhead and AG1. That's where you wear a head.

We're not gonna be using this ladder to get up and down into the loft, are we? You're probably wondering, how are you guys gonna get up there? Well, let us show you. How are we gonna do that? Well, we took to YouTube and it said, you can build this. And we said, yes we can. Let's do it. There's all different types of ladders but we knew we didn't wanna be this person. We wanted something wooden to go with the vibes, even considered buying one, but couldn't justify the price tag. That's not a sale. Watched a few more videos and before you knew it, we were qualified. First step of building a loft ladder is you need your ladder to be able to go on something that way it doesn't slide down. We've decided to use galvanized steel piping that is for gas. But really, it is good for everything. We've now found our studs for every 16 on center and we are going to mount the phalanges directly on those. That way it will be nice and sturdy. What are we gonna do before that, Crystal? Level it. Strength test. Okay, well it's not falling. How'd you know the angle of a ladder? We're using our ladder. The ladder isn't there just to help us put in the bar, but it's also there so we can figure out the angle of a ladder. It's teaching us how to build our ladder. I mean, it's already perfect. Sold in stores. Yeah, girl, feather light. Van wives ladder. The pack ladder. The pack ladder coming to stores near you. I already love it. We had to cut a little bit off here, but not too much that it would take away strength. That way it sits nice right in like that. But now we gotta work on the bottom. You'll need this. This should make it so that this part of the ladder meets the floor perfectly and also hooks onto the bar perfectly. I just cut it and now we're gonna try it on. Not quite touching, eh? Touching at the front, not in the back. Take two. Turns out our cut is perfect. However, the floor of the cabin is not. Shocker. So we're gonna take a little bit more off. And this time we're leveling with the ground and then cutting it. That way it will be A-okay because you want the full weight of the ladder to rest on the floor and not just the front or the back of it. Sits perfectly. And now we're just gonna trace this one onto another board and then voila. Now we have to. Going up. Our treads shall be 13 and a half. We're gonna use good old wood glue and structural screws. And I think it is going to be just perfect. Also after doing research, it's really only the professional woodworkers that try to do all these data blades. And anytime you just buy a ladder or you watch or learn a simple build design, it is just done this way. Not even with structural screws. So we're gonna put the square head into the treads just as temporary just to make sure everything's lining up good. There's nothing worse than making your beautiful countersink holes and then have to redo your work. Love the pack. How cute. Did that all for you guys and just all over our floor and our step. That's true love, eh? We have a ladder. And for not being woodworkers and not doing dados and all those little fancy techniques, it's looking pretty good. Jasmine's countersinking. That way we can sink those structural screws and then cover them up and you'll never know. Welcome back to Little Ladder. I spent standing and stating this. It looks phenomenal. Does it? Perfect. Matches everything. Wow. You may do the honors. You trust? Wow. Now all we have to do is finish those beams as I... I'm also just so happy we didn't buy one. It was tempting. I did. And I say it was tempting because building a ladder is a lot like building stairs, everyone. Patience and angles and cuts and tread and run and run and you know. Crystal, you did a fabulous job standing this. It is soft, it is smooth. It's like a woodworker did this. And best of all, it's easy to get up and down. Well, we're still in our PJs but it's time to rearrange the living room and do the finishing touches to bring our new loft to life. This year, our goal is to finish every project to 100%, not 98. Look at us go. A literal bedroom. I'm obsessed. It's so cute. Now we can have just one more, two more. Yeah. People sleep comfortably in their own bed while they're This is a queen. I love it. I would sleep up here if it weren't for Bella and Izzy. It's like I live in an A-frame. This is so cool. It's a door, but it's actually perfect. Good night. Crushed. Also, I gotta say, you deserve that good night. Everyone hashtag Crystal in the comments. She led this project like no other. I was a lazy ploop of winter. This girl did it all. Okay. I don't know if I'd say I did it. Crystal. Crystal. Hashtag Crystal. Yeah. Doo doo doo doo doo. Oh, look at Luke. Wobby pack. Go to bed now. Yeah, literally it's bedtime. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
