I Built A Luxury Playhouse Bunk Bed

What happens here

Locate wall studs using a stud finder and attach a horizontal 2x4 brace to them at the intended height of the upper bed. This brace will bear part of the upper frame's weight. Carefully lift the pre-assembled upper bed frame (constructed from 2x4s) and position it onto the horizontal wall brace. Secure the frame to the wall brace using appropriate screws, then install the remaining vertical 2x4 supports, connecting them to both the upper and lower frames for overall structural integrity. The use of multiple screws and proper alignment is essential for safety and stability.

Goal: Attach a horizontal 2x4 brace to the wall studs at the desired height for the upper bed. Then, lift the pre-assembled upper bed frame and secure it to the wall brace and add vertical supports, reinforcing the entire structure for stability.

there by myself, but uh I think we got a plan how to do it safely. I'm going to put this uh brace right here. Take this part, set it on top, and then secure it through the studs. And then I have another brace to hold it up here. So then I could put two outer columns up [music] to keep this thing basically one joint unit. At least that's what's going on in my head right now. I got to get more people helping on this channel build stuff. I think I have less chances of getting hurt and going to the hospital. >> I think people get upset uh when I don't help you do stuff. >> Uh somebody has to hold the camera. If we didn't capture it, was it worth it? Maybe we start an internship program where people can come up and help me with these projects to do them safely. All right, 37y old body. 37y old body, don't feel me now. I can feel my back tightening up already. Okay, that wasn't too bad, huh? Using the put the old noggin to the test. I just realized I got to get this uh drop cloth off the ground because once this is in, I don't know if we're going to be able to move it at all. All right, so the next thing I need to do is put a crossmember on top and here
