As an out of practice carpenter this channel has been a huge help in my remodel. It's the difference between doing right and just getting it done.
Guy is good. Really good.
No eye ear mask protection.
@@carlrodrigues6919 His channel and health!! He’s made it real clear when he’s talking and explaining how and why he’s using the technique he is we couldn’t hear him. Good day Mate👍
I hung drywall with my dad for 15 years full time. He had his business for 30 years before he passed away 4 years ago. I miss him dearly. Watching your videos has been so nice and I am reminiscing on times with him. Thank you! 💛
You are more than welcome!!
My condolences on your father's passing. Ben is very good and fun to watch.
Couldn't agree anymore.
When my father taught me to sheet rock he would just slab it on let it dry and then sand for days. Thank you for showing me there is a better way!
You learn very quickly that sanding is the worst job on any project. I'd rather go back and add more mud than spend days sanding. I also learned to carry a pencil to mark spots that need more attention, so you remember where those places are. (instead of finding them while doing primer)
Ben - I have learned so much watching your videos recently. I’ve been a DIYer for over almost 40 years and only recently felt confident about my mudding skills thanks to you. I appreciate your blend of information, wit and humor packaged up in a reasonable-length video. I find it funny that I spend my evenings watching you drywall and enjoy it!
Happy to be of service!!!
I have been doing home repair for many many years now, I always watch your videos and managed to find something new and apply it to my line of work, thank you for sharing. In all of my years I have learned there are two ways to do every job... the correct way... and again.👍
😂 the correct way....and again!
@@vancouvercarpenter yes, any job worth doing is a job worth doing correctly. you always show the correct way and having alot of fun in the process.
I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate your tutelage over the last year. Not only enjoyable and peaceful to watch, but calming in helping me tackle some of the projects around the house. Thank you for sharing. Cheers brother!
Thank you! :D
I agree with you Lee.
You killed that job Ben! Great work bud 👊
Ahh man my favorite son/dad combo here at my favorite drywaller! This is awesome!
Thank you!
@@Chris.Rhodes Same! It's just like coming to a party and meeting common friends you didn't know you had. 😊
@@francoisluneau right! 😂
That one was pretty bad. Haha… What a difference your repair made. Nicely done Ben!👍🏻😎
Thanks Paul!!! :)
Well finished mate, you brought back many years of gyprock fixing and stopping for me (Australia and now long retired). Thanks for sharing.
Just left my garage hating all my corners, immediately felt better after seeing this, thank you :)
I found your channel last year when trying to find repair advice for my 1955 Cape Cod. Love your format and presentation.
The 3 previous owners of my house must have got some real good deals on repairs, and while my work isn't quite professional level yet, my top floor has plenty of terrible taping that looks a lot like this video.
I think I'm just going to go ahead and completely strip that floor. I can only imagine how much air they tried to fill!
This fellow is great. I've watched a million of his videos. I have yet to see him do carpentry work... He's always taping and drywalling!
Just wanted to drop a thanks for all your videos.
Although I'm an ISM (steel framing/drywall) I do a lot of side work for friends/family and I find myself using a lot of the tips I've picked up from you over the years.
Just yesterday I dug in to the drywall a bit for a smooth trim install for example. I'm no taper but I can certainly get the job done when needed thanks to you as well.
Us drywall guys that repair and remodel drywall are artist.... 20 years on manufactured homes will get u good at this stuff...nothing can't fix or make look nice. Good job my dude
I love how he’s all excited about the saw leaving no dust, and then continues to make a huge mess ripping out all the pieces. Nice job!
lol you aren't gonna catch it all.
Not the same thing. The dust is nasty. Breathing that stuff is really harmful. But picking up some large pieces of drywall is no big deal.
Thanks! I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm semi-retired, but I still get a lot of drywall and painting jobs through word-of-mouth. Nice work, and always inspiring. Cheers, mate.
You are an excellent teacher. I have learned literally EVERYTHING I know about drywall and taping from you, and I do damn good work. Thanks Ben!
Another absolutely fantastic job and tutorial by the Vancouver Carpenter. I’ve learned a lot from this guy. Well done as always!
Just wanted to say thanks for these videos. I've just finished my first plastering job - a big ceiling patch due to a roof leak. It wasn't easy, took a bunch of coats to get just right... but I've done it, and it looks really good! Wouldn't have been able to do it without your vids - I've learned so much. So thanks!
Nice work!
Just want to say I enjoy watching all your channels Ben. I can relate with you as an old skater that is a drywall/painter and also sometimes some other trade stuff. Thanks for the content!
Just did one very similar. Attic room on a 1880's Victorian. Mansard roof was 18/12 pitch. Old plaster had been gutted and dry walled over rough cut lumber. Looked like waves on the ocean. I roughed it up with a cheese grater, primed it with lacquer, and floated it out with 20lbs. gauging to 5 gal. regular mud. Came out great, but I have no idea how long it will last. BTW, I did tape it all before I floated it. Glad winter's almost over and I can get back on the roof. This job reminded me how hard plastering can be. 6 dormer windows, b--tch angle over head, b--tch angle waist high. The hawk felt like it weighed 1,000 lbs. before I was done. Thanks. I'm still watching even if I haven't been commenting.
Love your videos! I just finished a doing a loft with angled ceilings. Pre-filled every gap no matter how small, ended up with more mud on me and the floor, but the results on the off-angle corners looks pretty good so far and hoping that it never turns out looking like this one. I always think that no matter how hard I try and pay attention to the details it's still going to look like crap. I'll forever hate doing drywall but your tips help make it at least a little better. Thanks!
I had something similar in my apartment, but reversed. The ceiling has 1 beam that it's slightly lower that the wall beam (error during construction but structurally solid), and instead of fixing it, they snapped the drywall inwards and added a lot of mud to mask it. No surprise it cracked after a few years.
Your videos are great and helped me a lot during the renovation of my apartment, thank you so much!
I live in Hawaii, so few houses here have insulation, and the structural design loads for roofs doesn't include snow, so a lot of times, roof rafter are 4 ft on center and then drywalled, typically with 1/2 inch. I've fixed soooooo many ceiling drywall joints in our 40 year old house. Have to install backer strips and then patch in new drywall. Most times I install 2x4s in between the roof rafters at the joints screwed into the rafters. I've also gone to using Fibafuse on all the flat joints I repair. I know that paper tape would be fine, but I'm not a professional drywaller and Fibafuse gives me quicker and smoother results. I do paper tape corners and joints on walls though.Most likely the fixed ceiling joints will outlast the house.
I moved into an old farmhouse that has had decades of handyman specials updating it, and I have quite a bit of drywall that is similar to this. My finished attic has some seams that are similar to this, and throughout the rest of the house they used mesh tape for everything (including the corners!!). They also didn't use enough screws in the drywall, so a lot of the panels move and cause cracks along their joints, Ive been fixing those one by one as I refinish the rooms, but damn it is an overwhelming task when the whole house is like that
I'm taking a break from drywalling to watch drywalling... Something is wrong with me!
Yup that's what drywall people do....🤣
I don't do drywall or any sort of home improvement, but I've recently started enjoying watching these videos haha.
Haha same! Doing the master bedroom now. Doing my first inside corners as well after watching his videos. Looking good so far!
Lol it's a problem
From what I'm seeing at the start of this video, sounds like a handful of people need to follow in your footsteps 🤣😭
I'm watching this, sweating. hot in the collar , because I fixed a settling corner the way this homeowner did haha. At least I know how to fix it now! Thanks Ben!
Right on time as I'm actually fixing my corner in my new house! Thanks Mr. Carpenter!
Wow! Great job Ben, not at all surprised. Your videos have been a HUGE help to me in remodeling my basement. I love to build but HATE Sheetrock and taping. Mainly just because I was horrible at taping but after watching your videos, I got the confidence I needed to just go for it and I’m very impressed with my self lol. Thanks again brother, keep up the awesome work 💪🙏
Did one of these in the British library in London back in the 90s. It was about 150 feet long. We sacrificed a caulking blade. Cut it to match the angle exactly.Worked out well but it was an operation... You got a very goot result here.
Always a good time. I'm learning and enjoying it all at the same time. Stay healthy
I appreciate the end explainig how you have to accept how things don't always turn out pefect and the pros and cons of accepting the good outcome you actually got under a challenging ptoject.
Yup. I had to add firring strips to my drywall too. ...and a LOT of screws. Thanks for all your help.
My hat is off to you for not walking away from that one!
Such a perfectionist! Love watching you work.
Wow. How long have I been watching your vids. And I only just now learned ceiling has its own type of drywall. Just another gem of knowledge. Thanks bud
🙂 You only need it for 24" on center framing.
You know what I would like to see? I would like to see the homeowner's reaction to the job when it is done. To live with that bad 45 for so long and to see it for the first time would be a cool reaction video to cap this off. Other then that, thank you for the tutorials, the most important reason I watch your videos =)
You know I am glad you used that saw. I saw that tool a while back and was unsure what it would even be good for except maybe cutting shaft wall board but now I see another use for it. Thanks for the video
I'm actually having this exact problem (with the insulation pushing down) in my spare bathroom and I'm doing as much as humanly possible to fix it...hence why I've been all over your channel for the past week 😂
Man you make it look so easy! Fantastic job as always, cheers from Chicago!
Thanks :)
My old man was a carpenter like you during the leaky condo scandal days.
The stories go on and on, real nightmare stuff too.
My garage has an angle like. Thanks so much for showing how to fix it when I do this summer
You do your job to the highest level of a craftsman. Drywallers can make or break the job.
Great job on the videos keep up the good work and the helpful tips you always are helpful and amazing.
Great repair Ben, we don't usually finish our garages here, its mostly fire-taping.
Pretty sure you just showed me what's going on in my upstairs bedrooms. 😂 Never considered splitting drywall but leaving paper in tact for a corner the couple times I drywalled. What a stupid shortcut! Great job fixing it!
Hey Ben can you do a video on the timeline of jobs like these? Like how long is takes, what you do between coats while things are drying. I get tons of repairs like these, they’re tough to bid because I have so much down time and so many trips back and forth.
My brother is in a different business, but he always bills a half day minimum. It may also require figuring in travel time, so a fixed amount for a half hour each trip. (just an example) On most jobs there's enough odds & ends to fill out that 3-4 hour billing time, even if it's just cleaning up to make the next day easier. Oh, never break that down for the customer because some will nit-pick. So much to do drywall PLUS 4 afternoons to get it into primer (another 16 hours) is the cost of the job. (plus materials) Just give the TOTAL to the customer so as not to confuse things. You will also find that quoting high and (possibly) adjusting the bill down later will make you seem like a hero. BTW, don't be afraid to stop and make adjustments if you find a problem. Hidden issues are not your fault and should be shown to the customer for clarity.
He has the coolest tools, if only I can have this dude skills...
For problematic corners, I like to use Trim-Tex’s Magic Corner. It gives you an obvious yet clean expansion joint corner. Especially in a garage where the look is utilitarian. They have fire rated V-grooved products too.
That there, my friend, is some seriously Canadian montage music.
Oh yea, very nice job!
Nice improvement! I am using "magic corner". Even an amateur like me can get nice sloped corners done with that product. Used it on every sloped connection and still being happy with the results.
Sometimes experience best serves us on knowing how far to take a repair!!! Looks awesome!
Thanks 👍
This put a smile on my face, great video. There is "perfect" and then there is "more than good enough"...note to self, it should not have taken you 2 weeks to redo a freaking closet! :)
Good to know I am not the only one..... :)
Finally came over from the skating channels and I hear you talking about stuff I know nothing about but the narration is familiar, such a strange feeling 😆
u are a bloody artist love the pride that you take in your work put the others to shame cheers.
Just finished some 135 off angles in my daughter's "fort" in a dormer closet area of her bedroom. Flat peak with a whole 5" total width. Tons of fun to try and mud smooth. Your skylight area was what nightmares are made of.
Ceiling board, what's that? Wow I learn something every day.
Once again a great job. You make it look so easy !
I always snap a chalk line from end to end and use durabond and run on the chalk line on whatever side chalk line shows, then put no coat tape in it. That way you know the angle is dead straight. And you don't have to shim any of the framing.
Nice job ! Done a few jobs like this myself. Lots off work .👍👍
Looks so good now! Job well done
I’ve always heard the 3 signs of a master craftsman are: 1. Makes it look easy 2. Hides any mistakes 3. Knows when to stop….. you checked all the boxes - very nice work
That looks awesome man, looks great. now i know what not to do if i ever run into that
Watching your videos has really given me a new appreciation for my pro-drywaller (husband). I think I need to pay him more.
Thanks for sharing your expertise...looks great!
What's your total time and labor into this?
What would you charge to do this job for a customer in your area?
Back at my old painting job, I used to see those daily.
i am convinced that you are a wizard
It's relieving for me to see a repair to be done right. So often I am ridiculed that I take too long to fix a repair job. There are too many hacks out there with that back bumper warranty.
Enjoy your content. Looks great. I will be searching your videos for gaps i need to fix between an outside wall ceiling. At least 10 ft long and cathedral ceiling at that. Gap is about 1/4”. Ugh. Such an eye sore. Sure you have a vid for that. Thanks for sharing. Great content as always.
Awesome Job Ben. Drywall can be a doozy if you don't know what you're doing. You teaching over here.
Doesn’t it make you mad when builders are lazy and try to cut corners to make the job go faster! It’s sad that people can cover up “junky” work and home owners/buyers never know the difference until something like this happens! So glad you showed this on this video! You did an amazing job!
I find your videos Sooo satisfying!
This was so satisfying to watch. I have those ceilings in my house & the one in my bedroom specifically is worse than this one. Annoying, but I just try not to look lol
I saw the title and thought you were looking at some of my work. I feel better knowing someone else is better at crap than me.
Ha! I was just about to do a mic drop on the WORST CORNER .... until I saw that back cut thingy ... even I wouldn't do that! 😂
Oh you crazy kids with your rock n roll music!! What's the world coming to? hehe... I recently did almost the same repair for someone...except the entire ceiling was sagging. If you pulled a string-line from one end to the other , the center of the garage had dropped about 2 1/2 inches. It was a challenge. "literally cutting corners!" priceless...
Do your best work! You can see this one from your house!! 😅😅 It looks great and thanks for the video!! Take Care!!
Big Drywall Screw Co. : Your cheque is in the mail. Well done.
When you said "snapped a couple lines" and then "cut it out" my hand cramped. That's a nifty saw you got there.
I would not have wanted to do it without that saw.
@@vancouvercarpenter
I'd have willingly burned through as many oscillating blades as needed and dealt with the dust rather than knife or hand saw that ceiling. Now I need a new tool. What a shame.
@@weege5.45 a multitool would have been fine. Maybe just a little more rat poop when the drywall was ripped out after.
@@vancouvercarpenter
Less rat poo is always better. Love your vids, by the way. I've never professionally done drywall (mostly demo and framing remodels and a few random commercial jobs) but you've helped me get some personal stuff done.
Awesome skills man !
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and they’ve helped me tremendously. Unfortunately you posted this one to late lol. Wish I could’ve had this video sooner. I kept saying the same thing why would some one do this. Love your videos can’t wait for the next!
Man, I love your stuff, so useful!
Nice work .. But ive seen that exact repair with no coat edges just cut them in lengths to match the truss layout of truss or rafters.. That will allow for the in and out and when you coat it straight enough to sand true... Nice work
Very nice repair. Thanks for sharing.
Dude im in NYC, can you just come over and fix my apartment? It will make a nice episode lol... Nah... im just kidding, i became a pro carpenter and an expert woodworker in the past 6 months and im loving it.. thanx to the internet and to guys like this dude :)
That looks so good now you may have to worry about the landlord raising the rent.
😂
Beautiful repair brother
Gr8 info ❤️ Ur channel
This happens alot here in 🇦🇺 & as soon as I c it I jus cut it coz thers no guts behind it specially the hangers here don't reinforce the bak
Keep the gud 🛢 coming!!!
Solid job on the repair! Maybe its just me, but no concerns regarding the rats above? Regardless, another great video:) thanks!
My theory on why that ceiling dips and hangs between every truss is well for one, 24” on Center is the norm. Also when it’s hung they lift it up at put some screws in the corners to hold it. So the Center of the drywall is already hanging and when you start screwing off the rest of the drywall sheet it’s like pin up a blanket to the ceiling. All it does is hang between screws/truss. Whenever the drywall is installed with a lift and it’s screwed off fully before the lift is released then you never get the droopy ceiling.
Omg…. This is how our ceiling looks. Will keep watching to see how to fix.
Crazy amount of work.
Omg. I need you to come to Kelowna & fix my entire house!!
Btw I bought the festool planex 2 based on your recommendation. I am kicking myself for waiting so long. Wow game changer. I have been able to get pretty good with it so I am doing hardly any hand sanding.
Yup. It's one of those super expensive tools that's actually worth it. I love it!
When taping off angle corners, can regular drywall paper tape be used?
👍 I've made a similar correction years back and wondered if I should have installed backing. Never got called back to fix it again so ether it still looks decent or I got fired and don't know it lol
You didn’t tell us to feather our edges!! 😆👍
I have had one of those Mikita for the last year. Really fantastic. I wish every plumber had one. Just be careful with the blades.
Ps nice work
I just realized you’re Ben Degros… thanks for the drywall and skate tips.
