Here is a link to my comprehensive drywall training video for beginners. cheers! ruclips.net/video/W-p7pvnMAq8/видео.html
Could you post a link to the round diffuser please?
@@guyapeterson it is done, cheers mate!
@@guyapeterson use my amazon link and it is under jeff's favorite products.
Do you have any videos on pricing the jobs?
You are my hero Jeff. Hug me and never let me go.
Bravo! I love watching people who are skilled at their jobs. Efficient, fast and accurate. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Wow, nice pace of delivery, no waffle or talking crap, just 48mins chock full of super handy tips, subscribing right now
Cheers Darren and welcome to the Home Renovision Crew!
Yes good point. 5 mins of what We are not going to do in this video.
I actually turned one off @ three mins in when the guy said "in this video these are the things I'm not going to do in this video. Oh yes, building speaker crossovers video. "The video was about the host." There are far too many of them I'm noticing, going on and on like best girlfriends, suddenly you are two, three minutes in and have not even mentioned the topic, but yes now we know you're having a gee wiz jiffy blond hair day.
Definitely this video could be used as a template for creating a quality video, that does not chase people away, make them angry for wasting their time. It especially ticks me off when content has nothing to do with the description. Who are these people? Where do their educations come from. a closet in a basement? I' like that you pointed out, the quality of the production. It certainly is worth mentioning.
The techniques shown are explained and demonstrated perfectly and made easy to follow for any DIY enthusiast. Thanks for all the demos!!!
Jeff, I watch your first video on the renovation of a bathroom and since then I have been enjoying your detail videos so much. Keep up the great sprit that you enjoy teaching many of us.
I learned several new great tips and I've been doing this type work for a long time. Thanks.
this was like a college class lesson on drywall. thank you for the free lesson. i watched the whole video nothing but professional straight to the point tips no foolishness.
Thank you Jeff !!! For beginner like myself (DYIer) - I really appreciate the time, effort and dedication for creating and putting these videos here. Thanks so much !!!
Jeff was born to teach.....period! I just stumbled upon this while surfing and wasn't searching for drywall instructions. His presentation, enthusiasm, personality and obvious love for what he does, kept me watching the entire episode! Great job Jeff. Keep them coming!!!
Yeah even though I’ve been doing drywall unprofessionally for a while you just upped my game and made me a better drywaller thank you
I love your videos, you are probably the most helpful teacher out there. Thank you so much for providing such great value.
Jeff teaches so well and follow him and you cann't go wrong especially when you are a novice/beginner. Amazing teaching skills and well rounded personality. Appreciate his contribution to youtube content.
My background is in engineering and I have tackeled major renovations, plumbing, rewiring (both mains and low voltage networks), cabinetry, and construction over the years but drywall installing/patching repairs have always been a substandard product of my work. Your tips, tricks, and having the right tools have got me on track, not perfect yet but way to go! Great channel. Thanks.
You are so easy to understand and your style of teaching is so encouraging. I’ve never done this and you make it so easy to follow. Keep up the great job and thank you so much! God bless you.
East Royal I agree with you 100%
It's amazing how much you have taught me and many others, basically for free. From the simple tricks yet really useful to the expert level knowledge. Thank you good man.
Imagine having Jeff as your neighbour... Best channel ever, no vlog fluff - straight to the point!
This guys my favorite to watch for advice. Personable nice guy and always good content. Loved the tip about the tape measure dimensions being on the back of it! I’ve done so much renovation to my house and built my garage and shed and had no idea about that! Save your tape from damage from bending
This dude's funny I like him...makes me feel good about my job...thanks for being fast and humorous....great job perfect guy for videos like this...
Cheers Chris!
Just started painting and doing drywall work and your videos have been clutch! Always enjoyed them, but this one shows just how practical and BOSS you are! Keep up the good work 👌🏾
Cheers Marcus, thanks for the comment!
I am impressed! you provided more tips easy to understand and carefully explained than most other videos I have watched. New to dry-walling/repair, I am more confident in doing a repair for a customer, than I was before your video.
You sir
... Are a legend. Phenomenal teaching and method. To the point.
I legit just watched 48min of the entire video. Being able to keep the viewer interested in this day in age is a huge accomplishment. Great video. Thank you so much!
I know you live in Ottawa, I live in Windsor (Southern most point of Ontario), I stumbled across your channel by mistake and honestly, I am hooked!! I have been binge watching all your vids !! Please keep em coming !!
No slowing us down now. full steam ahead. Cheers to Windsor!
Your video intros tend to reel me in to watching projects I'm not even needing to know anything about. Gaha! Well done, Sir!
You so much remind me of my uncle and the many summers I have spent at their town building stuff and using sooooo many rules of thumb. Boy I wish I could go back to these good old days.
You couldn't measure how much you have helped the trades by having these videos out. Teaching people how to do things the right way
Jeff I don't go around telling RUclips channels that "I love you", but here, I do! You're time and effort in teaching, showing is very appreciated. Takes the mystery out and thus the majority of the fear. Well done on this video. Alot of time and effort you went through to create an excellent list and tools. I have used the California patch several times. Brilliant.
I've been remodeling for years and participated in multiple construction crews and you always have a trick that I haven't seen used. Awesome advice!
Yea loved the spray adhesive on the corner bead.
29:50 - Lotta good tips in this presentation; but, this one make the whole video worthwhile. Thanks.
You are an f-ing rock star. I have learned more from you in 90 minutes than I ever have from ANYONE else. I have been making things so much harder for myself when doing drywall than they had to be. You are my new favorite DIY guide. Keep up the awesome work!
When you’re running a roto zip to cut rock on an inside feature, go clockwise and it’s a much cleaner finish. Clockwise to cut an inside, counter clockwise to cut around the outside of something.
I'm buying the dry wall dremel, I always put off off buying saying I don't need it. But after seeing you use it, looks so worth it. Thanks
This has become my go-to resource. Jeff is the only one I trust any more. Plus, I can actually replicate what his techniques in our house. So very well done!
This guy is terrific. No one can do a better job at explaining how to do it and passing on great tips you never hear anywhere else.
Slick channel. Very professional work. And the videos are well shot and of great quality. Tx for sharing!!!
Thanks for continuing to make great content!
Dear Jeff, thanks for all the wonderful information about drywall. I was quite clueless. I watched and rewatched the videos until I had many of the nuances down. I have all my inside corners done!
Greatest drywall and mudd video of all time. jeff is the master of long videos that keep you glued to the tube
Just did my first California patch thanks to your video. Worked well.
RIGHT ON!!!! Cheers!
This helped alot. U explain stuff well!
You are so credible and clear in you explanations and demonstrations of how to complete certain drywall situations. I learned so much about helpful techniques and tools I wasn’t familiar with. I’m gonna binge watch some of your other videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tutorial. I use to hang sheetrock for years. I haven't done it in about 5 years now. I thought I'd watch to see what I can learn, just in case I have to ever do it again. I like the Rotozip tool. that would have saved me a ton of time. The 3M Spray is an excellent idea...another time saver. With the inside corner mudding, brilliant idea. I wish I had that back in the day. Also with the inside cornering, I used the inside corner tool 95% of the time...with mesh tape or drywall tape. I kind of miss hanging drywall, but then again, not. Believe it or not, I use to have fun sheetrocking, Taping, Mudding & Texturing. I was also the Hot Mud King. I was the 5 minute Hot Mud Man. Mix & go, Mix & go, Mix & go no time to waste. Thanks again.
Thanks Jeff for this very detailed video in depth. Good job on that. You just get a new subscriber.
Welcome to the DIY CREW!
Jeff, you are the best on RUclips for DIYers!!! Not many people have the time and patients to do what you do for us. I love, love, love all your videos. You saved me a "TON" of money and "TIME" with your tips and tricks. I love the fact that you name and list all your tools & supplies, it helps a lot and with a dash of humor that you have, makes it all worth while to watch all your videos. Thanks and happy your my personal contractor via TV..lol
What an amazing DIY instructor you are! This was the best!! I feel I've found my go-to guy! Just found you today. Wish me and my husband had found you sooner for some of those fantastic tools and tips. THANK YOU. By the way, you sure know your stuff and it's obvious you're a pro!
This is a great video. I hate drywall work even though I am good at it. The time and waiting kill my spirit. These time saving tips just may reinvigorate my desire to complete some much needed renovations.
cool video, I was working, I think smart for years on the crappy houses I lived in as well as the houses of my buddies... hell now I tried it today and I'm looking like a rockstar! awesome!
Right on Peter. Cheers!
Outstanding! Thank you for taking the time to make a video for others to learn from.
You sir are fantastic. Not only at your job but at teaching/training here on RUclips. Thats a skill itself.
Thank you for some great tips.
You are a pro, clearly. Thank you for all these tips! I'm moving in 3-4 weeks and will be drywalling a room that never was
An excellent forty-eight minutes of magic; great tutorial, Jeff. I have my shopping list ready. Fibreglass tape and Rotozip are top of the list.
I absolutely Love my Rotozip. Been using it for years! Cheers!
Hey Jeff, quick tip for the roto-zip, aka cut out tool. When cutting on the inside go clock ways, cutting on outside counter clock ways. The spin will help keep you on what you are cutting. Good way to remember is to just think, internal clock. Always helps me remeber which way to go.
this is the best mudding video I have seen with the way you smooth the mud without having to go back and sand it down. Thank you for sharing this and you got one more like!
I want to thank you so much Jeff. I've completed a project when the person I hired left the job. I'm 64yo and did the work myself. I so pleased, I didn't know it was in my. Thanks again Jeff!
I’m 60 and I’ve never lifted a sheet of drywall, I love your videos and I still have 0 plans of it.
Guys like this are SOOOOOO talented and don’t get the respect they deserve!!!
Skilled labor rarely gets the respect they deserve. Instead, we respect people who deserve very little like super rich people and politicians.
Wow! After years of amateur DIY drywall struggles, I'm watching this vid, rolling my eyes, because "Holy sh*t! THAT'S how to do it!!"
Thanks, Jeff. Next project will be oh-so-much better.
Great videos I have doen drywall before in a couple of houses we have owned over the years. I redoing the basement bedroom and boy have you taught me a lot. I can see all the mistakes I made now and I am already seeing a big difference in my approach this time around. Great tips great video and your expertise has made a world of difference this time Thank you thank you Paul Lucas
Jeff, your tips and tricks from all of your videos have helped me tremendously! Keep up the great work with your videos 👍. You are so good at explaining DIY’s... you should have your own Reno show on HGTV. Love watching your channel 👌
Thanks for the comment, but I would rather not become another paid actor on T.V. I feel like I can help more people here. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I agree. Every home improvement tv show is absolute garbage. Great content. Thanks.
You can tell this dude has been around the block very knowledgeable
Wow! This is so good you just want to watch it over and over again until you learn everything on it. great Job!
Subscribed. You literally make me less nervous about so many repairs. Thank you for doing these videos.
This dudes freaking awesome. Makes me wanna redo the drywall in my whole house lol
Me too! Haha
Dude your channel is on fire!!! Thank
Very excited to be able to help as many people as we are nowadays. Cheers!
This man seems very personable as well as professional and he matches the description of those that I enjoy working with, he also creates great content - I appreciate all the tips and tricks🤙
Been drywalling and painting for a few years as a subcontractor. I learned a few wonderful tricks here. Thanks for the info sir.
Very informative. I liked this much better than a lot of DIY shows on TV. Why? Because this never felt like an infomercial.
Cheers to that.
Thank you for all that you do. Excellent video. Excellent teacher!
Love RUclips, Cheers!
JEFF....YOU R INCORRECT.....YOU R A "ROCK STAR"... VERY FEW PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW TALENTED THEY R IN THEIR WORK DON'T HAVE COMMUNICATION ABILITIES OR TEACHING SKILLS. YOU R A NATURAL FOR RENOVATIONS AND AN EVEN MORE OF A NATURAL WHEN IT COMES TO TEACHING...COMMUNICATING. TEACHING IS AN ART FORM...YOU R PICASSO BOTH IN ABILITY AND IN TEACHING. GOOD LUCK.
Fantastic video! I'm about to start my basement tomorrow morning and I am SO HAPPY I watched this first. Definitely going out for a roto zip cutting tool first thing in the AM. Thanks for the tips!
This is the best, informative, practical, useful tutorial video I watched lately. I wish I watched this about 13 years ago when I did my basement reno! Thanks for the great video. I became a fan of you!
I have a quick question though... I just bought a brand new house from a well-known builder (TollBrothers) and the drywalls are poorly done especially for the corner edges - It is too noticeable that a lot of them are not square / 90 degrees. What can they do to fix them and what should I tell them so that they can fix them all before the final walkthrough? Thanks in advance.
Pro tip for the drywall tape reel - if you are right handed, you will apply the tape from right to left, with the tape reel on your left hip, pulling from the bottom. I've got 30 years of experience as a taper, it will feel smoother and more natural. If you're left handed, reverse this, but always pull from the bottom. The advantage is, you won't have to pre-pull tape off the reel. You pull directly off, and it's smooth every time.
Thanks
So, what you're saying is, TP goes under rather than over? LOL
This is really great! I'm getting ready to finish my garage off and this is a huge help. I haven't done drywall for about 25 years and I forgot how to do the tasks.
You're the best on RUclips for this for sure! I had no clue the tape measure had it's length so you can measure with it on the end. That's awesome to know!
I'm about to gut and renovate a 1980s mobile home bathroom. The drywall used trim strips and was bonded wallpaper so it's all getting replaced. Watching all of these drywall videos despite not being the first room I've done. Great videos!
Cheers , I hope you find them useful.
I've had no problems getting mud to stick on the bonded paper. Remove the trim strips, hammer the edges (I've even cut some that were really uneven, to create a bevel) and tape them. You have to feather way out, and skim coat to cover the papers rough finish, but its still quicker than replacing it all. Good luck!
Use quarter inch in mobile homes overhead if tiny lil one by ones or twos
30:06 Correct. Square, plumb, and level are targets.
Great video 👍👍👍I did drywal before but now after watching your video I am going to be much better in my next drywal job .thanks for sharing your expertise😊😊👌👌
Your work is always so neat. Like those guys who make the RUclips videos :)
More seriously, as a licensed GC who minimizes subs, you’ve unselfishly shared enough gold for a series of good videos.
DIYers take note, you also make it look easy. My ultimate compliment.
Yes finally my favourite Saturday night reno show is on!
LOL, Thanks for watching. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I love your show. Great work!!
Started my first job as a Carpenter a few months ago and these tips have been so helpful and even managed to give my 30+ year Master Carpenter a few extra tricks.
I've been a commercial/residential painter for 20 years. Last year I decided to open up my own company, I'm doing well, however, I added handyman to my license in order to do more work I wasn't able to market for.
Your video's have been a common sense approach of how to do complex projects. I love how you approach every project with ease and confidence, all I want to say is thank you for all of this invaluable content. Your content will help me in Bellingham, WA aquire success in both client satisfaction, adding to my own high standards. Thank you.
With best regards, Josh
Amazing teacher, renovator, mentor of the world for someone love such kind of job like me. Thank you Sir.
Jeff is soo good, takes him 3 tries to miss a stud.
LOL, that was awesome. Cheers!
hands down, best comment on YT this year!!! So great!
I once missed a stud and found a live 220 line at the same time!
Best comment here, lol
he was actually trying to miss the stud if you were watching
Jeff Is the Best DYI Teacher!!!!! 🏆🥇
Thank you very kindly!
This guy is good. Pretty clear he has been doing this a long time. Very helpful and very envious
Trap door for a junction box. Amazing. Exactly what I needed for moving a bathroom light. Subscribed.
Roto zip is next tool in the box! Thanks.
I can't do my jobs without it. saves so much time!
I just came across this channel. My wallet is not speaking to me anymore...
LOL, Cheers!
Just found your page and I think I just fell in love lol
Man, so much better and more informative than the last drywall video I watched. Plus, the guy presenting comes across as genuine, experienced and not doing this for the "show" but for the benefit of the viewer. Liked and subscribed, my dood. Can't wait to show off the new tricks to my boss!
You’re so cool Jeff! I don’t understand why 80s movies always portrayed dry wall installers as “failures.” It definitely takes someone with skill and patience to do this, and it looks fun! 😂 Thank you for your RUclips channel! I love it!
Keep up the good work, Dude. That is an awesome video all around! This coming from someone who is a drywall perfectionist.
totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!
Man you are so on point when using your cutout tool it pisses me off lol the cutout by the steps was so smooth. Love your channel!
this channel is my #1 go to guide for anything remodeling. the knowledge base is extensive here.
I wished to work with him to learn how do drywall finishing. I love to watch all his videos ! He is the best instructor contractor.
When I'm watching you I can't help adding "Badda Bing Badda Boom" every once and a while.
LOL, I'm Loving iT!
Your english is super easy to understand for foreigners.
Duder, I really appreciate that you teach the little things (long metal side on paper bead/etc). 'little nuggets'.
Nice job.
Plasterer from Halifax NS.
Awesome video. Amazing tips. Love the simplicity and brevity of your videos. Takes the stress out of DIY projects.
Awesome tricks and very enthusiastic! Love it....love it.....love it!!!!
Some really good tips there again Jeff , thanks. In the UK we use Thistle Plaster and a full room is done in a day with no sanding or repeat visit but it is a lot of work and not for a DIYer. Cheers
Very cool. here we can tape a few room a day and do 4 rooms in 4 days. same thing only different. Cheers Steve!
THE BEST - super pro advice! Video is precise and not over-done.
