so this is a new three-part series that I'm gonna do where I'm going to turn this whole room into a epic gaming station slash studio slash Galactic Empire battle Star Destroyer so if the recent use that you guys probably know that yeah I got divorced I decided to turn this pole bottom stairs living room into a studio and I'm gonna be doing this in a three-part series where today I'm gonna be outlining sort of the work that needs to be done getting the stuff ready and then in part two I'll be setting everything up and then part three the tech will get ready and you'll see the final result so anyway let's get on with it okay so this first part what we're gonna do is we are going to remove these curtains get rid of them and then we're gonna take this rail off and now since this is an old house what I'm going to decide to do is I'm going to buy five sheets of gyproc and then I'm gonna use these original screw holes here and then screw the gyproc in so this will allow me to pretty much have a hassle-free uninstall mentalis house and pretty much take the jib rock off throw it in the bin and the house will still be the same once I put the rails back on etc etc now since this is an old house I do not want to use it its current form as a backdrop because it'll be pretty ugly right so I figured I'll go down the hardware store buy some cheap jib rock will probably cost me like $25 for all the gyprock plaster it up seal it off and then paint it and that'll probably cost me all up $80 for a whole new backdrop that is really modern so anyway that being said let's go down and get the stuff Oh they've got gyprock here and it is pretty cheap so we're just gonna get five sheets of this stuff and then we'll it back home and we are good to go but also while we're here we will go look at some paint and get some paint as well so here's the section where we're gonna look at paint and I've decided to go with some big big bright red here so we'll get some of this it is about $30 for the big can but that should do five sheets of jib rock absolutely fine of course we can't forget the paint roller set this is five bucks but it'll be good to go and we need some putty and some tape and then we're pretty much good to go oh yeah we gotta get the paint too all right well we have this all right so it's a new morning and a new day new possibilities we've got here the paint roller tray set that I picked up so that's got a roller and the trails like five bucks I got like a Stanley knife and a little paintbrush for fixing up edges got some red paint and some putty and some nails and all that goodness and all that was like 30 something dollars that wasn't too bad then here we have the gyproc so that's gonna go up pretty soon but before we do that I just want to document the work here like we've got I decided to put up some wood over the studs so this will pretty much make it a lot easier for the gyproc to go in and especially since we had some little things like aircon power cables and stuff like that sticking out this will just make the whole process from really easy so that if I do want to remove it I can just bang the the gyproc out and then just take the nails out because they're these pieces of wood are actually connected into the studs and so that'll just make it really easy not only for taking it off if I want to take the wall off but also for banging the gyproc in because I can just now measure that from the top and the bottom and I know where these studs are to bang the gyproc into so that's that process now all's we have to do is cut a little bit off the edge of the gyproc and start putting these gyprock sheets up booyah there's some other goodies that I picked up as well I got a here's the microwave that's like breakfast is ready so last night's dinner yeah anyway we've got a kiss x6i I think this is like the 650d or the t4i I picked this up for three hundred dollars is gonna be like a new camera that I'm gonna film on because my EOS m it's pretty good but I just can't actually hook up a tablet into it remotely so I want to be able to hook in a tablet and film remotely but we'll do more on that and like a later part when I'm actually getting all the hardware set up and then I got this tripod as well I picked this tripod up for ten dollars it's a fluid head like it's a tional fluid head tripod so I'll be doing some filming on this and seeing how it goes but just yet and I've got a 50 millimeter knockoff lens coming as well it's called the yongnuo it's like a nifty 50 knockoff you know gonna be interesting to see how it performs all right so we have cleaned up everything and we are now ready to start putting the jit rock walls on and start banging them in oh yeah yeah we're ready to start cutting the first sheet of gyproc and that will give us an idea of yeah how much well we already know how much we need to take off but you can do the first pilot run here and then see how it stacks up and yeah we're gonna put that sheet of wood underneath the jib Rock so don't cut into the floor okay well there's the first sheet of gyproc and that's in and that's good to go so we're gonna start banging in the rest of the sheets now we'll remember guys when you cut you've got a cut for Biba so we've smacked up all the gyproc boards here and now we just have to go down and get some tape some teeth as well for the bottoms there and also some plaster so we can start finishing up these walls and I thought hey we wise we'll just fix a hole on the wall of the previous resident put for the door so boo-yeah two birds with one get rock okay well I've plastered up the walls now and that is part one concluded guys so please give this a big thumbs up if you want to see part two and in part two we'll be painting the walls and also laying out some carpet on the floor and then we're gonna get the desks as well so stay tuned for that
