hello I'm Neil welcome back to the channel where I try something new
every day and today we are trying this I'm going to try and finally find
a home for our poor little ironing board well it's not so little that's the problem
this ironing board has never had a home in our home the poor thing
its home at the moment - and it's a bit Grand to call it a home - it’s basically stuffed
down the side of our airing cupboard here and the problem with that is… it sort of
fits but we've also got piles of duvets and who knows what else in the Airing cupboard
do you have airing Cupboards in your country where you're watching this?
this may be just the UK thing it's a little cupboard where we have our
central heating boiler and it's called an airing cupboard but as you can see there's literally
zero airing that's able to happen in here but the problem with it is we... we don't
do much ironing but when we do, you've got to wrestle with it to pull it out... and
then you've got to cram it back in again which is probably why the ironing board's
been here for about a fortnight while we try to fix the curtains on our windows but
we've got this new space now! and I need... I know I need
to make a video about how this came about the problem we have is that there's no point in
having the ironing board upstairs when we've got all this amazing space to... to do our ironing in
the solution I think is not so far away and if you've seen these videos on the channel before
you might recognize the foldable clothes dryer Ding!
and the Dyson wall mount… what I think this is the
perfect place for ironing cupboard Oh… just shut myself in the utility room
in my head this is the home for the ironing board let me go and bring the ironing board in to show
you how I think it will work the idea is this
sorry about the extreme high… high shot there I've got these hooks from Ikea
I bought these 10 years ago just to do this... this job is... this
VIDEO is 10 years in the making I want this to be on the back of
the door and I know that it's going to hit this Radiator on the corner here but the
washing machine door should still clear the door so I think we're good with this plan
and I want this to hang here and not clash with the door handle there kind of off-centre in the
centre of the space between the door handle and the other side of the door
so in the middle there - I don't know how wide I need these hooks
it'd be nice if they were nice and wide that looks about right so somehow I've got to get
a third arm to mark… to mark these hooks how do I do that?!
I think I'm just gonna body check it to the door and just put a rough mark on there
now I can make the measurements a bit more precise and I'm going to have it high enough so it doesn't
split the wood here I love these doors
I do not want to drill into these doors I might even put the spirit level up
just to make sure they go in okay I have a drill with a wooden drill bit
it's the smallest drill bit I could find the 3mm one and these snap really
easily so I'm going to go in fairly slowly here we go let's do hole number one... two
let's speed this up I’m going to screw the hooks in with these screws
they're black plasterboard screws I don't know if they're the right
screws but I really love these screws I love that they're matte and black
I'm hoping that because there are four of them it's going to hold it to the door and I think
it's going to be... we'll just see right I'm going to put them in quite Loosely to
begin with and then I'll tighten them all up so that I know that they're all in the right place
well hey so now I'm going to hold the ironing board up with one hand because
I'm holding the camera I'll use the spirit level to make sure that it's nice and level
and now we can screw this thing on finally after 10 years
there we go so Moment of Truth is this going to work?
here we go oh oh yeah oh oh
I've got somewhere for the ironing board!
but the big test is this so obviously we've got lots of junk behind the door
let's get rid of that I need to find hanging places for these so it's open the door
yes I think that's good but the real test is going to be can I open the washing machine door
oh yeah! this is a dad delivers success! Thunk!
we did it - 10 years in the making - I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have a
home for our poor little ironing board look at it... it looks so comfortable
