What's going on, good people? Ebs here—Mr. RemoteLife—and this one’s been long awaited. In this video I’m finally finishing the closet at the project house using the IKEA PAX system to get that clean, built-in look without turning it into a full custom carpentry job. I walk you through how I planned the layout first (measurements, mock-up in IKEA’s little portal), then how I staged and assembled everything the smart way—especially when the boxes are bigger than the doorway. If you’re working solo, building the carcasses inside the room saves you from banging them up trying to squeeze them through. From there, I get into the real “built-in” moves: pulling base trim and quarter round so the units can sit flush to the wall, cleaning up the workspace, and elevating the carcasses on plywood platforms. That platform trick is key because it lifts the units off the floor so you can wrap trim around the base later for a finished look, and it helps you figure out what you’ve got left up top (I’m working with about 9-foot ceilings and only so much clearance). I also drop a quick tip on dealing with nails and screws in studs—sometimes the fastest move is just snipping the nail. And yeah… I had a bonehead moment with mismatched colors—so learn from me and check those little dots before you leave the store.
