Under Stairs Playroom - Full Build Start to Finish

**I mistakenly hung the drywall backwards - I'll do it right on my next project.

I made a cool space for the kids to play under the stairs, and also a dark space for my night-nurse-wife to sleep during the day. My family still loves the space! You've got to find stuff to do when stuck in quarantine for months on end.

Come along for the adventure of transforming the wasted space under the basement stairs into a playroom. This video goes through the whole project from start to finish: cleaning, planning, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, flooring and everything in between.

Total cost of project: $1,000

Backwards drywall, excessive mudding, crazy dad painting job AND ALL PERFECT because you tried something new in order to give 100% as a parent. You also showed your kiddo that mistakes are how we learn and that waiting for perfect doesn't get things done, trying does❤

I turned the same room under my stairs into my daughter’s movie room complete with popcorn machine. We have two sets of stairs so the other room under the stairs is my sons gaming room. This really helps them keep the room clean!🙏🏽

I stopped this video at 33:56, I'm a professional painter, drywall, construction, I know how much work and hours you have into this project, it's alot, it's stressful, I can tell your a good father, and a good man! Your kid, or kids? Are gonna live and pass this room off to they're kids, good video man, and give yourself credit, you killed it!

Lol My parents would've just made a hole in the closet and said, "Go play but don't touch any wires." 😆

Nice job brother, first time I have seen someone put drywall on backwards but it’s the thought that counts and I’m sure your son will appreciate the space and have a great time with his friends.

Your little boy will remember that for a long time! 👍🏼🤩

So cool you should make a secret play room with swings and slides in it. I bet the kids would love that .

[PatinaEdochie]

I actually got teary eyed when you brought your son in at first playing with the color lights on the remote 🥺💓 You can tell you love your family so much and put so much thought, skill and love into building this! I enjoyed watching the process so much and just as excited as a child to see what you would do with it imagining how much fun it would be as a child / siblings to play in it! 🤗🥰 May your family be blessed and your business and channel continue to grow and prosper! 🙏🏽💓

Concrit: you should have done one of the walls in blackboard paint.

Great ideas, but the install of the sheetrock backwards is driving me nuts!! Otherwise nice ideas here and concept. Not sure if you had this much know how you messed up the drywall part.. LOL...

In the uk pretty much every house has this lil room under the stairs!
It’s great storage place for shoes!

It doesn’t have to be perfect, to that baby you are a super hero that made him a play house. It’s perfect in his eyes and that’s all that matters.

We had an apartment back in the 70's we had a big closet under the stairs, my parents cleaned it out a couple of times me and my sisters would play in it for about a week or 2 until it was full again : ) good times

This was a good idea. Reminds me of my childhood. We had a little area under our stairs that we used to play in. It started out as a Vanderbilt Commodores memoribilia room, but my dad built an extra room, and moved everything to that room. So, naturally, as kids, we started using under the stairs as a small playroom.

So nice you took the time to do this for your little man. Great job. He knows you love him.

[philipocallaghan]

Every single house in Ireland uses this space. As standard there's already a door or else it's not even enclosed. It's where most of us keep our coats hats umbrellas and shoes/boots/slippers.

Great job, your mother in law will be happy to have her own room....

[christinesmith]

Wicked cool. I love that. My granddaughters would be in there all day. 💞just think the bottom few stairs on hinges to open up. Now that be wicked awesome 😎

[phenomenal_woman]

Adam, you are such a cool dad and husband. Only a good man would take care of his family like this. Stay safe.
