Happy Friday everyone!! Hope you’re all staying cool and safe this weekend! If you’d like a chance to win a 4x4 Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van and support the Honnold Foundation, visit omaze.com/TandA
🤗💕💕
Done!
Hey beautiful how are you I want to know how far you are in your pregnancy,,And when is your due date.
*Buy Brandon his own tools, unless you don't think he can do as good of a job as you.*
*You said you got a NEW bucket of mud so you could of gotten Brandon HIS OWN TOOLS.*
*AND No it doesn't matter where you got YOUR'S, HOME DEPOT TOOL'S WORK!!!!*
Jire out the mudding, it'll be done in a day 🙂
I think we have all noticed that Branden always shows up and starts work before Trent! And he has a long drive to work! Big shout out to Branden! 💪👍😎 ❤
He needs his own show
Brandon? Is that you?
Brandon works hard and says very little. You can't beat him as a friend or an employee.
Wonder who is paying for it all? ;)
Way to go Mr B!
If you're reading comments, you need metal corner beading for the mud operation. It will protect the corners of the sheet-rock from getting knocked off when the wall is hit from moving furniture of life's other challenging tasks.
Too bad he did this 2-3 weeks ago, they are probably painting in real life! 😂
I get it, Trent is going to do it all, tons of respect. I'm sure the drywall will turn out well too.
That said, gosh if you were going to hire a professional, drywallers would be the one to get. they are fairly cheap, likely to do a better end job on something visible forever, and done in a couple of days instead of a month...
So...you've got to be sick of drywall suggestions by this point...but I'm wondering why you haven't put all your metal corner beads on and why you're not bedding your tape on the first coat over the seams? I know it's gonna look great when you're done. It's just hard to watch when I wish I could help. Keep up the good work. Get that bazooka loaded!
I had the same thought but thought it must be different in USA or something. The tape gun he bought prefills and tapes in one go and then you just skim the excess and bed the tape with a tape knife. I love the channel and love when they learn, but they are going to be adding a week to the job for no reason.
More time = more vlogs = more $$$ = more fun tools not reqd for job........
@@angelomasciantonip9377 In this world it's just nice to see a couple young people with enough ambition and focus to take on the challenge...No matter how they do it.
@Ken D. I'm all for trying and all but trying to reinvent something like metal corner beads is just plain wrong. Even old style lath and plaster had metal corners to use as a guide for finishing. Heck if u dont like square, there are even preformed rounded paper corners that get set with first pass of mud similar to an inside corner but trying to do a corner "artistically" with nothing won't work. But it's good for making another vlog about all the time it's taking to sand down and redo the corners ......
e has no clue hes poken and hoping
My wife and I only started watching this because we like to travel, and you were traveling. Now it’s about house building, babies, and over landing. Three things that don’t interest us as much. And it’s still become one of our favorite “shows” because you’re good people, and even though technically you’re strangers, we still cheer for you and can’t wait to see what happens next.
Because they're so happy?
I just love Allie's cheerful voice and smile! And Trent, when he's not having building issues!
What a great choice of words, their a pretty cool couple 💖💖🇦🇺
The professional production keeps me coming back. Its crisp.
I can dig it too- I started watching because of the travel but now I'm hooked like my daughters are hooked on the Kardashians. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 TrentnAllie are totally cool.
Same here. I stayed because I figured when they got Pamela Vanderson back they would travel again but I look forward to every episode of building and baby news.
I'm a retired painting and drywall contractor. I've been watching these videos and trying to just let you do the job and learn as you go. BUT YOU NEED TO STOP. I don't know what youtube video you watched or who told you to do drywall that way but you are tripling the amount of time this job will take and doing things that will give you a crappy finished job. You used way too many screws but that is already done and it isn't a job killer. You should be taping the seams first. Put a thin layer of spackle down on each side then lay the tape down and another thin layer on top. Then pull the knife down with more pressure on the outside edge to taper the spackle and minimize sanding. ALL outside corners should have corner-bead. No need to be filling in seams and corners, just tape. When you fill in the inside corners (as where the ceiling meets the wall) you will prevent the folded tape from having a true 90-degree edge and make it look sloppy. I am telling you this because I know you want to have a finished job you can be proud of. Much of a construction job can have mistakes but usually get covered up and no one notices but you are into the finishing stage that people will see. I hope you take this in the spirit it is meant. You will shorten this job considerably if you stop and regroup and take the time to learn a few basic skills. Good luck.
Accept all of this happened a half a month to a month ago...
Why don’t you fly out to help them then if you are retired and have time on your hands 🤦♂️
@@robertbenthal9396 don't be nasty.
I was wondering why they weren't taping.
Thanks for the advice. It may be too late for Trent and Allie, but I am learning a tremendous amount by reading respectful comments after watching the video.
Trent, there is no such thing as prefilling just tape and mud. Your making a lot of extra work for your self. Don't forget to use corner bead. Should probably have done that already. BTW Allie's hair looks great.
The need to fill every normal joint crack prior to taping probably isn't necessary. However, I always fill large voids with quickset compound to avoid major shrinking prior to the tape coat.
Yes I pre-fill only large gaps with 90 min fast set , then start taping 😉👍🏻But he’s still learning it’s fine it will just take him longer.
You can say that again lotta extra work! 😂😂😂
I just watched several videos where pre-filling is recommended. Maybe Trents not too far off. It will turn out okay l think. It's just going to take longer that's all.
Trent, PLEASE don't let Allie in the house while you are sanding! You know you have to sand the walls 3 times don't you? Every time you you mud, you have to sand afterwards.
PLEASE be careful!
Love your Videos. Allie, your hair is gorgeous!
OMG I have never seen doing first coat on inside corners and seams without imbedding tape!
That’s what I thought
10 bucks they have to do it all over again. They will hire a real crew.
It’s gonna leave a bump on all taped seams that way
I agree!!! Wasting a lot of mud and time! The seams need to be taped as the mud is applied! Unless things have changed since I remodeled a rental property
hey folks much MAD Respect to them for willingness to learn, you can't fault someone for not knowing everything about everything! Life is a journey and just because I have experience in construction related things, does not mean that Trent and Allie can't enjoy learning their own way through life! Keep up the good work you guys love the vids! FYI I have no idea how to rock climb or do yoga!
Allie your precious with long or short hair cause it’s that cheerful attitude that everyone loves.
The haircut is SO PRETTY! YOUR curls are so perfect that they look like you curl it with an iron. The length is very flattering and shows your pretty face better. ❤️
Why aren’t you taping your seams? Guaranteed for your walls to begin cracking when your house begins settling.
100%
I thought the same thing. Maybe they are planning on taping after the first coat??? That would be a lot of wasted time!
Hey Trent, you may want to consider using metal outside corners, it makes a much better corner and makes finishing much easier
Plastic won't dint. He should hire a drywaller.
Inside corners too.
@@tinydancer7426 no such thing as inside corners. They just get taped.
@@RamblinRoadies Actually there are inside corners as well as outside corners.
@@harrybruce1655 I totally agree...for this job he needs the pro's
General rule for life: always be on friendly terms with at least one person who owns a full-sized truck/trailer and one person who knows how to install drywall.
And your hairdresser!
Well done Brandon, a true friend 👍
General rule for life: don't be the person with the full-sized truck...and know someone who is a good **plumber**.
A guy I know said that after he bought his truck he discovered "friends" he didn't even know he had 😄😄😄
Alle! Wow, your hair looks refreshing. But if you don't like it, being pregnant it will make it grow back fast.
Is there tape in the seams? That actually strengthens them. Keeps them from cracking. You're freaking me out! Love the hair, not a mom cut, but it will make you look like a cute mom in all the pictures.
🤯 No Tape 🤯
One time I had to take a belt-sander to remove all the drywall compound, after my father-in-law TRIED to help. I can still see the cracks, every day, where I got lazy and let it go.
They said they are taping next then another coat.....that was the math adding the days of time frame to finish
I can't wait to see the look on Trent & Allie's face when they open that envelope after her Mom & Dad get to Utah!
You're wasting time. No need to fill seams with just mud. Apply mud, apply tape, apply 1st coat of mud over the tape, all at the same time. Dry scrape with the knife when dry to knock off nubs, no sanding after first coat. Could potentially only need 2 coats.
This is true!!
thats what i was thinking a whole lot of muddding ? i think thats over kill ,,i have mudded we did not mudd that many times .... but ... their house. id out source the roof thats to high let the professionals do it ..
Unfortunately the videos are 2 weeks behind.. so they have probably already taped by the time they read this... but yes I was wondering the same thing.. usually you fill gap and then put tape right over at same time.. I've watched a few drywallers do mudding and taping
If you use mesh tape.... you can avoid the need to pre-fill the gaps ... Mesh allows the mud to fill the gaps and makes things go way faster..... I agree.... only sand for the final coat... at this point, you would already have one layer on... instead of not having started yet.
Agreed. Get some yellow grid tape to lay over the seams, and slap on the mud over the top of the tape. What you are doing is filling in the depressed areas built into the edges of the sheetrock. That will cause you to have raised seams, which in turn, will cause you a lot more work trying to feather out the seams.
Allie, you’re hair looks great! Cutting off the dead ends we all get, makes it look so super healthy. I think you’ve inspired me to cut my covid hair too!
All hair is dead once it leaves your scalp. What you meant was the damaged, frayed, split, or dry ends.
Also cutting hair WILL NOT make it grow back faster.
@@keriezy you knew what she meant though didn’t you? also she never said it makes hair grow faster. get a hobby baby
@@shelbyhaugen6831 hobby? I'm just correcting common knowledge mistakes.
@@keriezy wondering why you thought you needed to “correct” what she said?🤔
@@annamcgee7434 For the same reason you thought you needed to correct her in a nasty way????
I've never seen drywall done your way. You've made your job so much harder. A drywall expert would have this job done correctly in 3-5 days. Your way will cost you more in the long run.
Yes it will and I bet they put too much mud on and have an ass load to sand
This way they are doing the job for free and it would be at least 3 or 4 videos about it : saving and earning
Sure a Drywall crew of 4 to 6 in 3-5 days. Can't say the correct way have seen em do a small job in 4 days then take another 2 weeks to straighten out the mess they created. Trent and Brandon are doing fine they will get it finished on their time and have the results they are looking for.
Instant professional,
He's so stubborn
I am no expert but I've done some drywall. You're supposed to "bed" that tape in the mud on the first layer. You scrape the excess after you put the tape in that first layer. Meaning you scrape over the top of the tape while the bottom layer is still wet!
Me too! I'll be interested to see how doing it with mudding and letting the joins dry first before doing taping works. 🤔
Your correct. He's not doing it correctly. So funny. You would think he would have researched this first.
@@miket8324 it's not funny. He's worked really hard on this project. I'm sure he did research. I just hope he's found a way that I haven't seen before because there are a lot of joints in that house and I'd hate to see him have to sand all of them down to start over.
I can only imagine how happy your viewers are going to be when you announce that you have hired a professional for this drywall business, not to mention sweet Ali's relief, it'll be great 😊😘
I wish that I could click the "agree" hand a lot more times!!!! I wish you would let the professionals do the drywall; it would save scads of time and your own upcoming days would be a lot happier and you could move into the house a lot sooner!!!
Making me nuts just watching Trent. Hey Trent watch a diy video on spackling drywall. Stop filling seams without taping
Stop “pre-filling” seems. Just tape it, you’re not only wasting time but adding another layer of mud under the tape potentially making it harder to actually cover the tape smoothly. That’s why the edges of drywall are thinner. So you can tape and cover the tape effectively. Same goes for near corners. You have no corner bead on, so don’t slap mud where corner bead is going.
I’m no expert but even I knew this! Lol! Come on Trent, you’re killing me smallz! 😄
Isn't there a RUclips video on how to mud? And where is the corner bead?
Trent mentioned possibly hiring out some of the exterior work. He should have hired out the tape & texture. They could have hung the basement while the upstairs was being finished. It would have saved a tremendous amount of time. Yes, tremendous.
Yaaa...I thought he watched video on it.???
This will be hard to watch...I thought he'd hire this part out...I wouldve!!!!
I was going to say the same thing. ? No tape? I like metal corner tape for a good edge, Looks like they have a lot of edges.
Great advice but this video was made 1 to 2 weeks ago so they are wayyy past this now.
I’ve been in construction for 50 years. I have what I would consider a 18% skill level of drywall finishing compared to the people I hire to do this. I understand why Trent is doing his own, but it was the wrong decision. What he should do is hire a pro for a week and learn the techniques. My honest opinion. Edit: As for operating a mud bazooka efficiently at this level is improbable at best.
Right. Only takes professional drywallers how long to efficiently use a bazooka? Definitely more than 1 house lol
@@CaliMel184 Did the need for constant attention come to mind? These videos are posted 2 weeks after the fact, so indeed the pros would have had drywall completed by now.
You’re wasting mud filling the joints with no tape. It should be mud applied to joints, paper tape applied over mud applied, then smooth out the tape pressed down to the wallboard. Then apply multiple coats with lager size knives each coat to reveal a smooth surface to sand at the last skim coat and paint.
Exactly. Not sure what RUclips how to video he watched. Nobody does it like Trent is doing it. Waste of time.
Even though we know how we in Construction know how drywall is finished, Trent and Allie will finish this home their way and it will be beautiful! I am so happy for all they are doing to start this life together! I’m a Dad, Father and Husband, so I know a little about life and the steps taken to get through each day. Happy is great way to be in life.
I’ve never seen anyone “prefill” seams before. That’s what taping is for. Allies hair looks great! Your stylist rocks!
I was surprised to see them prefilling the seams as well
@@4noanie That's because pre-filling is not a "thing"... It's literally a total waste of time and It's basically adding at least one extra step to the entire process which means multiple days.
Knowing how Trent likes to check out relevant RUclips vids . . . I'm surprised he didn't pick up on this . . .? ? ?
@Alan d'Eon but it makes sense if pre-filling the seams, making a completely unneeded step take even longer
yup waste of time.. just plaster the joint with mud and scrape the tape in there.. done. Scim a thin layer of mud for second and third coats. Hopefully they will learn before they do the whole house this way.
just hire a professional, it’s going to be cheaper in the long run and when the sun is shining on those painted walls you will see every imperfection.
Really cute haircut on you, Allie. Love it. You'll learn to love how much lighter, easier, quicker it is. 😊
I think there's something psychological there when you know you have three people and only buy one hawk. Even 2 makes common sense with Brandon your constant helper!
I think he only bought one screw gun also!
More like Brandon,your constant witness,
He graciously allowed his pregnant wife do the hod carrier back breaking whip the mud work, when in reality mudding screw holes could benefit from the patience of a female microbiologist
@@ReallyBarb she actually did a much neater job on the kitchen screws. We moved a 10ft wall about a foot back between our living room and our bedroom. Geez did we botch the taping! It looks horrible, but I'm proud we tried our hand at it. We'll do better next time. Such a shame its in the living room tho 🤣 we have a big massive oak staircase going in front of it, so thatll take away the attention hopefully.
Mud and tape the joints as you go. You are creating more work than necessary by just muddying the joints.
Too bad time machines don't exist.
@TrentandAllie You dont have to put mud in the seams before tapping brother,it will dry and leave chances of leaving spots for air bubbles when you mud and tape,maybe in the spot where you made mistakes but otherwise the mud when you tape will fill everything fine.i wouldn't tell you if I didn't make the mistake when I start 30 years ago.✌️❤️❤️✌️
I never heard of prefilling the seams.
Well T & A I agree with all the comments...one process, mud the joint, press in the tape, and run spatula down the tape to spread excess mud!...that is your first layer!...no need to sand...then use wider spatula for second coat...that needs to be sanded...suggest you look up wet sanding...you DO NOT Need 5 coats of mud!.....do not prefill joints !....bite the bullet get the bazoka out and use it!....put on the metal outside corner bead “NOW “!...
I'm not a builder but I watched another RUclips channel " life uncontained" that guy built his house by himself and I noticed that he taped all the seams before mudding.
You guys are doing a Hell of alot of work, I'm no professional, when I did tape and mud, I never did an under coat, Just tape and mud at the same time, and It never needed sanding, and It never cracked, and it's been years, I used a nylon mess tape, worked great
I work for a general contractor and have done for over twenty years. In that time I have not seen professional sheet rock guys use a mud hawk, they all use mud pans. Because they work much better.
I can see that “things are moving along”! I don’t know anything about building but I know something about grit & determination. Being humble people you probably don’t dwell on thinking of yourself that way,but that’s positive thinking. Baby is obviously experiencing lots of ups & downs in activity! ( It’s funny even thinking about it.) As a former Hippie would say, “ Hang in there!”
Last post on this, if you had taped and mudded the seams at the same time you would have been almost done with the job.
I apologize I know it’s to late and you have already probably realized your mistake I just hope you can correct it.
Yes, that is the biggest mistake I see them making. It will be much more difficult to get the seams and corners done now. The reason for using tape is so that the seams and corners don't crack. Hopefully they will have enough indent left to get enough mud for the tape to stay put.
It’s like he never even watched any videos on how to do drywall. If he did you can’t tell. Starting with all the screws he used and not taping the seams. I mean 🤦🏼♀️
I don't see any galvanized outside corner stripping, just suggesting that idea guy's, they go a long way in high traffic areas 😊
Yep. Your corner's will just crumble
Especially with kiddos bumping them with their trikes!
The newest additions to my Trent and Allie Drinking Game: a coffee for every comment about how hard finishing drywall is and/or how long it takes. And a big ole bakery pastry when they figure out how horrible it is sanding drywall a greenhorn mudded. (Ask me how I know!). And an Irish Coffee when it’s all over!
A big Amen. Aren’t they amazing
You should get a Stainless Steel Banjo Drywall Taper. ( that`s what i used my first time) . It puts the mud on both sides of the tape. The mud you're applying first, may require sanding before the dry wall finisher`s can tape the seams because the mud may not be smooth and flat, leaving high spots under the tape.
Allie’s hair looks fantastic, makes her look younger.
I thought that too. Now with both of their new haircuts, if they were dressed for the prom I'd believe they were teenagers. Really cool, worldly wise teenagers.
She definitely aged backward
He didn't even need a haircut yet, if you ask me! He looked like a Rock Star! Now he looks like a teenage boy!
Love the new "weather appropriate" hairstyle. You noticed I didn't say I love the "mommy hairstyle." LOL Congratulations on the upcoming bundle of joy. You guys will be great parents.
Fresh hair is a good it’s been so hot here
You can stop pre filling everything. Pre filling is just taking up space the tape takes. Tape it, wipe the excess mud out and spot screws. Next day, fill it and spot screws. Third day scrap with mud knife any large globs, chunks, or mounds and put on a nice tight (thinned down mud) finish coat and spot screws. Fourth day, sand everything. For regular joints tape and wipe away excess with 6 inch knife. Fill coat on regular joint just 8 inch knife. Finish coat on regular joint use 10 inch knife. Butt joints use 6 inch knife just like regular joints. Butt joints on fill coat run 8 or 10 inch knife on each side of tape leaving center 1/2 inch of tape exposed. Final coat on butt joints use 12 inch knife in three passes, one down center barely covering tape and one down each side so the butt joint width should be around 28 inches wide on finish coat. Use 12 inch knife as a flat level and check for light under the edge over your joints to see if you filled enough or not.
I’ve never seen a professional taper per mud the joints. The edge of the drywall is made like that so the tape sits in the mud below the finished surface of the drywall. Otherwise when you sand you’ll sand into the tape, or have a huge bump at every seam. If that makes any sense.
Please read this advice! Your tape isn't going to rest in the corners nor on the seams properly. You never pre-mud seams period.
As a couple who like to you tube, it doesn't seem that they do any research on how to do projects?
YOU NEED TO TAPE THE JOINTS GRASSHOPPER!
Love Allie's hair and her happiness and excitement about her parents coming!
FYI guys. If you put on 3 thin drywall mud layers; You don’t have to sand drywall. You can use a lg damp sponge to wipe it smooth in between coats. It’s MUCH less mess. Also. If you run your hvac system while doing drywall; you need to get a bunch of filters and change them every week if u don’t want to damage your hvac equipment.
My husband is a bit fan of your channel and I have been watching some movies your mudding videos. We did a stud down rebuild on our house and I did a majority of the mud work. Something that I found to be really helpful for 3rd and onward mud coats is when sanding carry a colored pencil and when your hand goes over an are that needs more work circle it in colored pencil. It makes it faster to locate and mud problem areas.
You literally just did double the work! You should have filled the crack, tapped, smoothed the tape. 😩 🤦♂️
Looooottttssss of sanding to come ouch! Thats a mistake they will not do again!😳😳7% more like -25%! Lets give them some love and good vibe they will need it!:) Happy friday!
@@martin3720 I know 😞. But what I don’t understand is I’ve never seen a RUclips video or tutorial that shows this technique. I’m a DIYer. Everything I’ve seen is the tap and smooth method. I feel for them.
@@edbenson98 Coño!!!!!!!
Oh how cute is that haircut!!!! ADORABLE… I know that is probably not the word that an adult women wants to here to describe her new hair cut BUT it is adorable 🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕
Allie is definitely adorbs 🥰
Allie, you're a natural beauty inside and out and you're one lucky man and dad to be (again) Trent!
@@Curlycurvymandee what’s an ‘adorbs’? I thought Allie seemed like a pretty regular person but maybe you know something I don’t 🤷🏻♀️
Filling holes and pre-mudding seams…. Just wait until you have to sand. That dust goes everywhere no matter how careful you work at containing it.
Looks like things are looking lovely!
Allie, Your hairstylist seems so great and your hair looks incredible.
Embrace mom hair, it's not a negative, it's part of the journey to a blessing. 😊
Agreed! We had such a good time ❤️
Trent, When you finally get to plastering the walls, it'll save you lots of aggravation if you cover the switch boxes and plug sockets with heavy duty cardboard fitted inside the boxes. This prevents excess plaster (Mud) from entering the boxes and covering the wiring, which can affect connectivity of the electrical system.
As a retired hair dresser, licensed in California,Hawaii and New Mexico, I say that is a great haircut! It looks great down and it can grow as baby does! So love it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the haircut!!!!! That length looks amazing on you.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought, "hey, Allie has a sister visiting"! Your new hairstyle looks not only extremely cool it looks great on you! You both look so much younger now. I love that y'all change it up like that.
I'm confused, I've always put mud down, put the tape over the mud and smoothed out the tape and then covered the tape with mud smoothing it out. Then took damp sponges to do the finish work. I have enjoyed watching your home build. You have done some great work.
5 coats of mud? Who is instructing you Trent? I hate to see you guys doing all that unnecessary time consuming work.
My thoughts exactly! I watched my Uncle and my Dad do a whole living room 4 walls and ceiling 14x16 they finished every seam with damp sponge and went to lunch came back took the damp sponge cleaned everything and it was ready to prime with very little sanding.
@@PromasterHOF I watched a guy on RUclips do that and seemed like a no-brained to me.
I’m a 70 year old woman who is shocked they know so little about this project. I have sheet rocked and mudded and it is NOT A HARD JOB! That small house, with two inexperienced workers, should take no more than 1 to 1-1/2 weeks at the most. It takes some time and can be messy but these people are making it sound like a degree in engineering is needed.
Im not a mud and tape guy myself but taping your joints makes for much better surface when you bed it and tape it ! You guys are awesome keep it up
More great progress on the drywall. Thank you for taking us along for the journey.
Allie your haircut is adorable! It frames your face so well, and with the curls, it is just beautiful.
Allie looks AMAZING and Very SASSY! You look younger, very healthy, and extremely HAPPY! Trent is going to ABSOLUTELY LOVE your NEW Curly Hair DOO! Just another Good reason for SUSHI! ENJOY!
Or ice cream
So Happy for you. God Bless all 3 of you.
Soooo good to see you helping, Allie! NOW you can say "WE"! 😉
You look fab after your hair cut Allie - even a little shorter would be great. Your face looks softer and even younger (if that’s possible) ;-)
I think if it was any shorter, Allie would have a hard time keeping in a bun. Glad to see all those dry ends gone!
Tape and mud should be done at the same time so you don’t see the tape when you sand it down. You’ll see the seams and have a bulge. In any event you’re making great progress!
Wait til he gets to the sanding part, that house will look like a dust storm hit it!
@@edbenson98 no doubt 🤣🤦♀️
Hopefully Allie stays away during the sanding process unless she’s wearing an N1 mask! I’ve done Sheetrock, tape and mud! It’s hard work but, I learned to tape during the mud process right away! My ex did the mud, I came behind with the tape and more mud to make sure it stayed down. The sanding process was wicked! I wouldn’t let my kids in the house during this time cause it was dangerous.
Do they not have youtube?
@@christophertaulli 🤣🤣🤣 Obviously.. duh!!! Thanks for the passive aggressive comment! 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
hello barbara im dave from scotland and my job is a ames taper in the 60/s 2 brothers called ames invented the taping tools in the uk but nobody would take them on so they went to california we use fibatape for the joints and metal tape for the windows and upright corners we have the taping tools we call the mud cement and joint filler
Allie, your haircut looks really good, makes you look younger and the best part is it will grow back.
All is going well! Your haircut is sweet and the mudding is going very well! Stay happy & upbeat!!
Ya know…. if it was a “mom haircut” that would be OK as moms are the coolest superheroes around!! 🦸♀️ 😎😄
Agreed!
You guys are killing me! I only like mud hawks when doing cement stucco. A stainless pan for drywall, it’s a lot cleaner. And get a thin flexible tape knife. It will make inside corners easier to taper. Believe me!! It’s a learning experience.
Just wondering why you’re mudding your joints but not embedding tape or have your corner bead installed. You’re adding extra work on yourself.
Bad part is they won’t see this for 2 weeks late . They for sure have done it the harder way .
I have been cringing as I watched the non-taped joints. Trent! Hire a professional for at least a week. Really poor work, dude.
@@Groundedone aww be nice though. Hes learning. He's said many times that he's going to make alot of mistakes but he's learning. Give him credit for trying. Most people just give up hire out. I get he's not doing it the best way but you don't have to be so harsh. He's a great guy.and he listens to alot of advice he's given. So I guess I just don't see a reason to make him feel like crap. Idk just my opinion.
It doesn’t seem they did any research before they started the sheet rocking. Too many unnecessary mistakes
@@raybran7865 nothing wrong with learning! But there’s a million RUclips videos out there! No one muds the joints before taping them, he’s filling in the recessed part where the tape sits, once he puts the tape on he’s creating a mound. If he doesn’t know what he’s doing putting coats on it he will only make it look worse and you will see every joint in that house.
Allie’s curly cut is ADORABLE and sophisticated at the same time! LOVE IT!! Congratulations to Trent for all that hard missing work!
Oops… mudding work
ALLIE, YOUR HAIR IS ADORABLE!!! 🥰
ETA: Absolutely the most important thing is that you can still put it up! I cut my hair super short a few years ago, and thought I was tired of ponytails. But I’ve since learned that my hair HAS to be long enough to pull back and away. Ponytails FTW! (Mine is straight and fine, so buns don’t work for me. 🙁)
Gonna be a long, long time doing the mud like that. Corner bead needs put on before any mud. You don't prefill the gaps. You do the screw holes as you tape the seams, so you can use up the dirty mud.
Totally agree never heard of pre filling the cracks. Install corner bead then tape joints that's why you have a banjo fill screws as you go. I've been in construction over 40 years and have never seen it done this way before
Hair looks great! 👍🏻 So happy your parents are visiting soon. Keep pushing through Trent-every task is moving y’all a little closer to living in that house! ☀️ 🏡 ☀️
Wishing u both all the best .
I finally figured out your channel. It’s to make hard things harder for no reason except to make them harder.
Guy's! At least hire a seasoned taper to show you what the basic's are, a bad tape job last's forever and you clearly do not know what you are doing. Save yourself from yourself. All the best and good luck. Stay safe,
Please listen to James Dillon and hire a seasoned person...they can save you time and labor!!
Ditto
Trint will do fine creating.
Trint will do fine creating.
Trent, don't fill the seams and as a new guy sand between coats. use a pad with a screen on a pole. set up a fan in a window blowing out (everything outside will be covered in dust so choose wisely) and set up a fan to blow across the room to the other fan. wear masks
Haircut is absolutely fabulous!!! Always a good idea for alittle pampering before the big life change!!! You guys are always a treat to watch!!!
I have used a Bread baking pan before to hold the mud in while putting mud up. Holds a lot and easy to hold and work out of.
Are you going to use corner bead on the corners of where the sheetrock meets? It is a metal strip that gets nailed to the corners then mudded over? It protects the edges...walls and the boxed in window edges...
Thinking the same thing. Definitely need corner bead and it should be installed before mudding.
Im sure they are plenty aware.
Where's the tape that goes under the mud? It helps it from cracking
Great progress on all fronts!😃
My GOD! read a book, consult a drywaller, HIRE a finishing contractor! I've found it so painful to watch you smear the drywall mud. Please hire the mudding, sanding and cleanup by professionals. You'll be in the house before the winter snow if you do so NOW. Sorry to be so critical, but not only is this harder, but it will not look like you desire. I admire the work you have done, but get help with this. Wishing you all the best.
The hair looks gorgeous!
Tip: Use more than one sized knife. Work your way up to a 12" knife. A tray holds more mud easier than a hock.
Hawk
Allie it looks really good! You will enjoy it the rest of summer!
I think finishing Sheetrock is one of the hardest trades. Mad props to the people who do it for a living! It’s backbreaking work and if it isn’t perfect you won’t find out until you start painting. Or at least that’s been my experience in the past when I put my big-girl panties on and did it myself. Never again. I’ll leave that to the pros. I know Trent will do his best and by the time he’s done he’ll know how to do it- isn’t that the way it always is when we try something new lol.
Staying calm and in love during drywall installation is a wonderful thing to watch. After drywall the construction process is all downhill. Congratulations
Sand in between mudding needs to be smooth. Then mud again. Wares your metal corner wrap for outer corners? They will be get hit and chip without them
I really love the new do!
Little tip for people when storing your left over mud in a bucket. After your done scraping the sides down use a sponge to wipe the inside wall and rim clean. Then ring the excess sponge water into the bucket. Having a little water on the top of the mud for storage will guarantee no hard flakes when you go to use it again. Having dried mud when you reopen the bucket is the worst. Tip#2 I always use just a quick spray of WD40 on all my knives after I wash and dry. Rust will start to form over time after use. You will then have rust in your mud which you definitely don't want.
Allie! Your hair looks SO HEALTHY! And the style is adorable! That long hair wasn’t doing anything for you, this hair is GORGEOUS! 🥰 (not that your long hair didn’t look good, but this change is absolutely stunning!)
❤️❤️❤️ doesn’t she just own it
Just keep the drywall dust out of it!!
Trent, try a mudd pan instead of the hawk! And 1st layer with the 6” and leave the 8 and 10 blades for the finish coats
Yessssss !!!
Stunning!
Awww! Look at that pretty pregnant lady with the stylish hair! 😍
Allie, I’m a curly hair girl too and I’d LOVE to have a stylist in my life like yours. Your hair looks GORGEOUS!!! It will be a good thing when baby arrives, too! ❤️
Finding someone that knows how to cut curly hair is no joke. It can be a total disaster! It looks cute! #teamcurlygirl
I live in the South. Humidity is my biggest enemy.
It doesn’t look short at all . Not much of a change . Just looks like a trim ,not much of a change . Still looks good.
I love curly hair!
Hey guys. Love your channel. Just thought I'd let you know that the tape gun you bought prefills and tapes in one go. Then just skim off the excess and bed the tape in with the tape knife. I hope this reaches you in time and you haven't added days to the job unnecessarily. Keep up the great work and congratulations on the baby.
You look super refreshed after your haircut, Allie! Looks great to get those ol' dead ends off! Loved your last getaway as well!!🍦🍦🍦
