in this video I'm going to show you two
mini projects one of the raised storage
full and the other as a sleeping loft
with a built-in bed frame I've got a
fairly standard tiny house trailer I did
a whole video about it if you're
interested in more details but it's got
wheel guards that protrude into the
house space if I was a daughter over
again I'd get a flat deck with
low-profile wheels no pretty common now
but they weren't available in my area at
the time so as with all trailers that
are designed this way I had to figure
out how to conceal the wheel guards so I
decided on a raised storage floor so
here's the design we came up with three
hinged panels that come down over the
wheel wells and 1/6 strip on either side
we built the understructure using scraps
of plywood from around the workshop we
sit them out at roughly 400 centers
Jason took care of this while I was
painting outside
[Music]
so the arrow learning how straight up
version of this one is that you're
running a little bit down from Scotland
yeah the lovely happy cow look anything
again need the lights of that or just a
rough apply that's going to slow down in
screw them just at the storage cubby
delisting 300 millimeters DS but if
you've seen my past videos you might
remember the box that we made to sit
down between the wheel axles it's five
hundred and twenty millimeters d totally
big enough for a person to get into some
serious storage so now you can see how
we intend to build the rest of the
storage floor around it then I bought
some full sheets of eighteen millimeter
poplar plywood's to use as the floor
[Music]
I don't want to talk about I was tall
[Music]
but has an extra column early life the
son may be Peter as a whole Club Ozzy we
found a big roll of piano hinge at our
local hardware store and you could
literally cut it to any link you wanted
so we cut two big strips to hinge the
floor panels okay you got one
wow that was bad robot
[Music]
like a sleeping on it that's why they
need the flowers go on give it a little
[Music]
you're not planning on Jules at the
scene
my head might have some insecurities
what a hippo about being fooled here
anyway
or fishing in the draw will come out
yeah but if he had import grain straight
up being across the dough inside there
because the ply was all mismatching
scrappy stuff I decided to paint it to
make it look nice to finish the floor
I did three coats of Danish Oil and it
was ready to go I trust these
flush-mounted and Jason routed out a
hole in the play in order to fix
imbalance I'm planning to install gas
struts as well to help lift as the
panels are pretty heavy you can see here
that the two sides trucks are still
missing that's what if you have to wait
until the doors are installed before we
can fix them down we've pre-cut them and
we did a biscuit joint and enough to get
the full links that we needed I'll show
you the window and door installation in
another video but I know you're going to
want to see the finished storage for so
[Music]
so I wanted to use the same
light-colored Pops of plywood for the
floor and the sleeping loft but I didn't
want my nitrous going straight onto the
floor because it could get moldy and I
have to flip it all the time
so I decided to cut bed slats straight
into the plywood so that I essentially
had an aerated bed base but didn't lose
any Headroom it was a pretty simple
project I worked out the measurements
based on a queen mattress and Jason
ratted out the slats on two sheets of
flour using a jig
[Music]
when I move in I'll also run a bead of
timber around the edge of the mattress
to hold it into place so that's it for
this video and it's time we'll get into
some big projects like floating in back
flashing so make sure to subscribe
