00:00I bet it'd be cool if I back-flipped off this thing.

00:01Nope, that was a horrible idea.

00:03Not safe, I repeat, not safe.

00:04Welcome back to another episode of turning pretty things into cha-chings.

00:08Well, I filled furniture for money and tell you my intrusive thoughts.

00:10Let's a go!

00:11I got this from a friend who told me that one of the drawers was stuck.

00:13It was indeed stuck.

00:15So stuck that I had to call in backup.

00:17When a problem comes along, Dad can fix it.

00:19When something's going wrong, Dad can fix it.

00:22And now the drawer is unstuck.

00:24Turns out the drawer glides were very, very broken.

00:26Thankfully, we have this random box full of assorted drawer glides.

00:29Ladies and gentlemen, you are witnessing when someone has a just-in-case box

00:32and the just-in-case actually happens.

00:33It's a miracle, people, because we had just enough to replace all the drawer glides.

00:36Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:39Only problem is they were covered in spray paint.

00:41We pulled these off a dresser we couldn't salvage.

00:43RIP to that dresser.

00:44But today, her spirit will go on.

00:45Because thanks to the power of toxic chemicals, the spray paint came right off.

00:49Burn, baby, burn.

00:50And now I can remove these jacked-up drawer glides.

00:52Little this, little that.

00:53Yeet.

00:54Pop a newie.

00:55Bop some holes in there.

00:56Bop, bop.

00:56Secure the bag and on to the next one.

00:58Repeat till all drawers are slippin' and slidin'.

01:00Now that that's resolved, let's give her a clean.

01:01Which unfortunately means all stickers must go.

01:07And all the sticker residue that comes with them.

01:09Wipe on, wipe off.

01:10Wipe on, wipe off.

01:11Then get a sudsy little lather going.

01:13Gotta make sure this thing is clean so my sander can...

01:17We're sanding everywhere, including the nooks and crannies.

01:19So can't forget to remove the dust.

01:22And it's on to prime time.

01:26Now if you think I'm just gonna paint this and quick flip it.

01:28I am gonna do that.

01:28But I'm not just painting it.

01:30If we're not doing the most, then what are we doing?

01:32We're adding wallpaper.

01:34Hmm.

01:35That was embarrassing.

01:36Anyway, I called it the truth because there was a 10 out of 10 chance that I was going to mismeasure this.

01:39It takes two to make a thing go right.

01:41Once it's all cut, just apply the glue.

01:42I'll be right back.

01:43Can you guys watch my dad for a second?

01:44Say this.

01:44I love my daughter so much.

01:46She's the bestest in the whole world.

01:48And the back.

01:49Hope he didn't say anything bad about me while I was gone.

01:51Time to attach the wallpaper.

01:52Dear sweet baby Jesus, please let this wallpaper look good.

01:54Caress it a little bit.

01:55That's a good wallpaper.

01:56Lay nice and flat.

01:57This wallpaper is paintable, so we're gonna do that.

01:59But I'm gonna need to let this dry for 24 hours.

02:00So in the meantime, I will be spending every living second trying to decide between these two colors.

02:04And then I thought, what would the people want?

02:05Psst.

02:06You're the people.

02:06So I hope it's okay.

02:07I made a decision on behalf of you and the rest of the internet.

02:09And now the question is, did she make the right decision?

02:11Was this the color you would have picked?

02:13Say yes because it's happening.

02:17Make sure your eyes are looking at the screen.

02:18Ready?

02:18Cue the...

02:19Wow!

02:20Did you say wow?

02:21Don't make me come over there and say it for you.

02:22It's okay.

02:23You can admit this came out way better than you thought it was going to.

02:25I feel the exact same way.

02:26And for that reason, I'm gonna relist it for $400 on Facebook Marketplace.

02:29Unless you'd pay more.

02:30And in that case, I'll accept donations.

02:31And if you don't like my price, that's okay.

02:33You can look at it for free.

02:34Everybody loves free.

02:35Especially when you can turn free things into cha-chings.
