LOVED this video when I first saw it last year. It was perfect timing because I was moving from one place with 2 tiny bedrooms to 1 normal sized bedroom. With the tiny bedrooms, I had turned one into a closet and was loosing my closet moving into a bigger bedroom. I modified your plan to use custom cabinets to raise them to 40" and extended out 18" verses 15" (to fit a standard hanger). Each of the cupboard became a half closet! Thank you so much for sharing your idea!!

You sir have to be the best dad in the world to have the time and patience to make this

You should keep a white wood panel inside of the crawl space so in case there is an intruder, you can hide in there and if they look inside the cabinet you can put the panel against the hole so it would look like an empty cabnet

I'm watching this on Father's Day!! Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there! You do so much for us that we don't appreciate enough. Thanks for always being there even when we might not give you enough credit for the things you do. And thanks for always being there to support us through thick and thin!

Shoutout to all

I'm no carpenter and do not pretend I want this bed, but it has been fascinating to watch your work. Thank you.

I would totally PAY someone to build this set-up for me!

[ltellis]

Truly well done! You definitely gave a lot of thought and planning to this project. I would love to hear how it feels and works from the person(s) using the room and sleeping in the bed.

[RubyOpheliaQuinn]

Am I the only one that wants to make this solely because underneath the bed is like an awesome fort?

[lbreiter]

This is cool. My dad did stuff like this for me. He was one wonderful dad. Like you are... Thanks for the memory and for sharing your skills, talent and innovation!

It will make the crawling space even lower, but I would make the matress slightly sink between the cabinets. It would look prettier IMO, more like a whole. +it would prevent the matress from sliding a bit away from the wall, wich would annoy me big time :P.

[sereneltakch]

OMG I need you to do this for me it's amazing! Your daughter is so lucky! You have miracle and blessed hands!

[kmsy]
